Whould this still work if I were to replace Hummus with E1 max Mountian and Cuora with E1 max Gummy ?

[tawdry path]

nah probably only one

[azure roost]

[tawdry path]

mlynar can kill 2 drones simultaneously tho

[azure roost]

he just need to time it doe

but ye

me ded rn

bye

[leaden sierra]

Hummus no, the perma stall needs a skill with low sp cost. Wait you don;t mean Mountain S1 right?

[elder flume]

How would Mountain hit

[astral cosmos]

yep thats why mountain s1

[elder flume]

Ig u can blockshift him to Mountain

[astral cosmos]

u can borrow my s1m3 mountain if you want

[lyric elbow]

oh I though I needed hummus cuz he is good at stalling.. damn

who can i replace him with ?

[elder flume]

Tbh it works the same if u use Mountain S1

If u use S2 u need to reactivate skill every 8s

I will be using Humus E0 1 to clear this eventually

Higher investment Humus might fail tho due to hp difference

[astral cosmos]

savage s1

[elder flume]

Highmore is free and is the same as Humus essentially

Tho why not just use E0 1 Humus

[limpid ore]

ch'en s1

[dry flame]

no way i lost because time out

[limpid ore]

smh, could just silence him

[glass monolith]

One of my CM attempt died to him generating way too many shield pick ups and picking shitty direction for shielding. After which i said F it and Typhoned him

[teal moon]

@dreamy geyser send your roster here if you want help

[dreamy geyser]

okey

also i was talking about

go 9

[teal moon]

order by rarity pls

[dreamy geyser]

my all my ops okey

i use a supp wish if thats relevant

i still cant clear cause im bad

[teal moon]

support isn't relevant, but if you don't have Wisadel there is a high chance she will be the main support

[dreamy geyser]

By rarity

[teal moon]

btw, raise your e1 base worker and also you have some good ops like Cantabile

[dreamy geyser]

ok

[teal moon]

you don't have lappland?

[dreamy geyser]

ye

[vital vessel]

what stage

[dreamy geyser]

go 9

[teal moon]

Wisadel should be able to solo it iirc

[tawdry path]

i think the solution here is you borrow wisadel and just body pile any enemies that needs blocking

[dreamy geyser]

hol up let me do a screen record run

so yall can see how ahh i am

[vital vessel]

need rng and pots

[full terrace]

[dreamy geyser]

okey

let me try

[teal moon]

you can hold top with e1 specter and Ansel, some extra bodies for low lane and cleared

[livid linden]

I did all I could to complete event challenge stages till GO-EX-7 but I cant see a way for the last stage.

Any help?

[dreamy geyser]

thanks guys that did the trick

[maiden hound]

wait until the rerun, you gotta raise more units to clear this i think
are you open to raising high rarity units?

[livid linden]

so if i clear the rerun one I'll be able to complete the medal set? and what about those who have already completed it?

I dont have enough resources yet, but I could try and farm them after I finish my base.

Who do I have to work on?

[somber falcon]

Rerun still gives medal

Atp just ignore ex-8 and either farm event or just focus on raising

[violet sorrel]

@livid linden

try

[livid linden]

yeah I suppose after im done with base, i'll try and farm event btw whats the fastest way to raise ops?

[livid linden]

ty i'll check rn

[violet sorrel]

do RA only for materials, hit IS also

IS2 the easiest

[limpid ore]

[somber falcon]

Just lvl up and farm for the mats

[violet sorrel]

am i wronk

[somber falcon]

Suggesting ra to someone with barely raised 3* team

[livid linden]

No like is farming the supplies stages worth so i can farm exp certs?

[somber falcon]

Only until you can get your factories and tp up and running

[violet sorrel]

i clearing RA (only for reward) with lava only for wood cutting

[livid linden]

So this is my base, 2/5/2 I dont have to farm the stages i suppose.

Almost finished

[somber falcon]

"i can handle getting shot, so everyone else should experience it"

[violet sorrel]

[teal moon]

from IS people newbies should only do Monthly missions and Deep invstigations. Farming levels is a hassle (unless with IS5 missions)

[maiden hound]

la pluma, mountain (skill 2 recommended), silverash (skill 3 preferred), ptilopsis (skill 2 preferred)

[teal moon]

check /baseskills in #bot-spam for some base worker that will be helpful in base

[livid linden]

Thanks

CM is kicking my arse though

If Siege would activate her skill 0.2 secs faster it would work, but I need to tinker more

Braindead it is

[dusk quest]

Mountain S2 on manual stunlocks singular enemies, or 2 if timed on fodder

[glass monolith]

i will leave manual abuse to people who hates themselves who go for low op count / niche and stuff records. I prefer autoable activators for balance

[prisma urchin]

Suddenly did lose GO-EX8 what happend? No enemy entered then blue box

[elder flume]

prob timer

[glass monolith]

All not moving bosses has Thanos snap timers attached

[narrow pendant]

Static bosses have a timer

[prisma swift]

hoow to fuck do i deal with this stupid ass bitch

i tried deploying as close to the entrance as i can and it still like 3 shot

[dusk quest]

Gravel or any frd

[glass monolith]

Execute "Floor is fireballs" and camp on highground

[prisma swift]

my only highground is like e2 logos and e1 kroos

logos only deal with 2 lanes

and then these bitches have high ass defense and res its so annoying

[glass monolith]

If i recall right most of dogs and fireballs are bottom 2 lanes and elite dudes top, i would Logos on elite dudes and Kroos and whatever else to handle bottom. Also i believe it is possible to pillar finale dudes together. But i could massively missremembering. Don't put DP printing on fireball path ofc

[prisma swift]

thats what i did but my kroos isnt doing anything

maybe its a bit underlevelled

[dusk quest]

Logos on middle to guard bottom and second to bottom red box, gravel below that pillar right of the blue boxes, retreat when at 1 shot then collapse on first 2 that try to come in from right side, then drop laneholder above blue box, other op placements vary on how the stage goes, been years since I did it

[prisma swift]

theres elites on the top

my logos only deal with one problem

kroos only did 1/3 hp to one of the fireball guy

[dusk quest]

Dont use Kroos theyre too tanky, do you have any better sniper?

Meteor S1?

[dusk quest]

Logos S1 can lanehold the bottom 2 rows with some defenders

Either use a better sniper on fireball guys or borrow one

[prisma swift]

yeah and then i cant deal with top lane elites

one problem are the elites another problem are the fireball guys

and logos only deal with one of them

[dusk quest]

Your laneholder can take care of the elites when the pillar collapses on the tile above the blue boxes with some assistance

[dusk quest]

Yeah that wont cut it

Raise your Totter, Caper or Shirayuki or borrow a good sniper

[prisma swift]

trying to avoid borrow

[dusk quest]

Then those 3

Or if you want to you can also raise Melanite but thats more expensive

You seem like a newer player so dont invest into anything randomly

[prisma swift]

yeah

[prisma swift]

are they arts dmg or what

[dusk quest]

Try Caper she's pretty good

[prisma swift]

can i just do kroos glint

e2

[dusk quest]

Physical, Shirayuki is arts on skill 2 but does decent phys dmg off skill

[prisma swift]

since ill be needing a sniper sooner or later

[dusk quest]

She's too weak pre E2 for them

But shes great once raised

One of the best non 6* snipers

[prisma swift]

uhhh i can get e2

do i also need the module

[dusk quest]

She still might be too weak, she needs mod

Yea

[prisma swift]

damn😢

[dusk quest]

Caper S2 should do the trick

She's not too expensive

[prisma swift]

aight

[prisma urchin]

Is there a succubus sarkaz?

[prisma swift]

yo actually i think im going for shirayuki since she seem like a pretty good base slave as well

[dusk quest]

Nope but Nymph could be one if you think of her abilities that way

[prisma urchin]

Hmm nymph or djall but no hint on succubus

[dusk quest]

We wont really have a succ since that would require some nsfw storytelling and most gachas dont delve too deep into that, especially more popular ones

We barely got the InesxHoederer thing

[prisma urchin]

Pfffff how nsfw beats violence, i never get it, presenting someone beheaded on a plate but something... well there can be a telling of seducing it doesnt have to be nsfw, kinda like, kitsune or best fame character ahri, or evelynn

Just someone that can use her charisma to make people follow her kinda like that

Like W

Wisadel boss, Cheese last fraud

[round kraken]

Sorry, what's the general strategy behind the event stages?

It feels more like I'm supposed to pick buffs up to deny the enemy, instead of picking them up to buff my own units.

[narrow pendant]

Its both, technicaly

Realisticaly you just ignore and blast everyrhing

[glass monolith]

You pick up Arts pick up with Random list of skill spamming units to deny enemy doing anything at all

Or just kill anything before mechanic becomes relevant

[round kraken]

I'm still small enough that I only have a few E2, so I have to actually make strats.

Good info, though! Thank you!

[elder flume]

have to promote Humus to gain +1 block hm

[narrow pendant]

E1 4* is cheap

[glass monolith]

Put blocker ahead of Humus and corner camp

[elder flume]

will see if i can manipulate map inabit

need to mod Fang first

[glass monolith]

One day i will remember to build charger vanguard

[elder flume]

it should be possible in theory to change SK targeting to blue box device

faster gear spawn to make arts gear Humus

changes SK targeting to never hit near blue box ever

or i can just use Skadi mod y ig

[rotund fern]

is there any other op than ines that can reveal invincible enemy?

What website is that?

[tidal sedge]

Thanks

is it worth to buy the lv up pack?

[wicked minnow]

The ones that cost OP give you orundum equal to that OP while also giving you other goodies. Its good value for the cost

[rotund fern]

i see

[jagged drift]

I was sent here for my situation

[acoustic slate]

This isn’t a customer support chat. If you have an issue with a stage, then post the stage and the squad you’re trying to beat it with, and preferably how you’re failing

[jagged drift]

Phh

Ohh

[wicked minnow]

it's kinda the point of the channel

[narrow pendant]

[smoky halo]

wtf

[wooden blaze]

Hey, guys any suggestions?

https://www.krooster.com/u/hegao

[tidal sedge]

5* only

[wicked minnow]

it should be pretty easy though

[tidal sedge]

Nvm deepcolor

[wicked minnow]

i think you arent aware exactly of how the magic barrier mechanic works in this game. basically anything that's in the direction the barrier has it's damage reduced by x%. everything to the other direction and in the same column as the barrier doesnt have this damage reduction calc applied

so in the end when you placed rockrock and lappland, the better positioning would actually be above one another not utilizing the attack buff give to you

for the most part the way you dealt with the stage is fine it's just a couple things you can improve

krooster with some tank should be able to take care of the flying units easily but it would seem you overspent a bit there

lappland + rockrock should be enough for the boss. you can then use deep color tentacles to tank the boss. from silvergun's normal mode clear he just posted, she can tank the boss for quite a while. lappland and rockrock in the same column as the boss and you should be good

last thing, uhhh specter should be able to shit on the enemies that appear in the middle but i havent tested that for myself it's just an observation

[wooden blaze]

Thanks, guys.

But, I already defeat the stage.

Lmao.

Somehow.

[full terrace]

You still need help on EX-8? Honestly with that team I cant imagine you failing, it's harder to fail than to succeed with that lineup

[ember forge]

is there a video how to properly clear stage with jetpack boss in IS2?

[wicked minnow]

for go-ex-8 isnt there a wisadel mudrock duo on arkrec

[wicked minnow]

oh that boss is free

how do you usually go about doing that stage?

like what 6*s do you have by that point

[ember forge]

rn im trying with borrowing pozy at start

[ember forge]

i place tank and guard at base and one sniper in upper tile that boost sniper

[wicked minnow]

how many units do you usually have by that point and who are they

do you have e2 pozy by then?

[ember forge]

sometimes

depends o nrng

[ember forge]

like 6-7

[wicked minnow]

huh

how i usually run the boss is that i bait his flight and when he stops flying and comes down i burst him down

another way to do it is to take into consideration that he circles 3x and placing units to damage him constantly

pozy s3 should be able to very easily burst him down with good positioning

also i would only really recommend using the marksman tiles if you are struggling with dealing with the drones. if you have kroos i'd place her on there but pozy i think would be better off those tiles

[ember forge]

yeah i didnt place pozy there but i think i placed her in wrong place anyways

she couldnt kill boss even with S3

and some hits from her turret

[wicked minnow]

yeah so there's the problem\

wdym "some" hits from her turret

it's supposed to be both of them firing at the boss constantly

bait his flight and have pozy setup in such a way that both her and her typewriter can dps the boss down as he lands

[wicked minnow]

pozy and typewriter facing down

[ember forge]

well he started flying so he got away from turret

[wicked minnow]

if you have a healer, id place it to the right of pozy

the bait should be placed directly on the boss

and if you have kroos you can place her at the top sniper location facing down. if you are doing this, place pozy after kroos

[ember forge]

but isnt it better to place typewriter in place of pozy so she have bonus dmg?

she gets bonus dmg in her front row

[wicked minnow]

pozy gets bonus damage in the tiles in front of her in the direction she is facing

so when she is facing down on s3, the 3 tiles in front of her have her deal increased damage

also if relying on this damage boost means that pozy is in a shit locaiton, you shouldnt make use of it however do attempt to scout out for locations where she can tho

[ember forge]

ohh then i understood it wrong

i saw somewhere that it works with pinecone that way

so only front row have boosted dmg

[wicked minnow]

https://youtu.be/bcv1NwG0Ufs?feature=shared

Discord file size limit is ass as always

[wicked minnow]

Here's a lil video i made

[ember forge]

thanks

[wicked minnow]

This is hardmode btw and my pozy isnt fully maxed either missing module and lacking pots but you should be good

Exu can be replaced by kroos in that clear i would imagine

[ember forge]

yeah one im using is lvl 60 with mod lvl 1 and no pot

[ember forge]

i do have e2 exu

only lvl 30 tho

[wicked minnow]

Unless she's the only other 6* you have i wouldnt recommend getting her

[ember forge]

i have silverash and ines e2

working on mountain rn

only missing chips to e2

[wicked minnow]

Id get sash and ines first then exu

[ember forge]

ngl i only get e2 silver on floor with phantom

i guess my hope managment is bad

[wicked minnow]

For is2 id recommend using the class squads since they are kinda really nice there. Also i mightve had a bad positioning for fang. It could be better to bait the boss's flight 1 tile sooner

So 1 tile to the left of where i did it since it might be the case that the increased damage that pozy is supposed to do isnt applied but im not sure

[ember forge]

i always pick one with sniper, caster and tank

and leader squad

in case i leak

[wicked minnow]

I used to use this squad when i was newer to IS2 i think. It's not bad for starting out but i think that the other squads just offer you more in terms of improving your run

[ember forge]

i dont have other unlocked tho

i only have 5 i think

[wicked minnow]

oh right

Class squads are nice once you unlock them

[ember forge]

i dont have perfumer upgraded cuz i got pthilo

[ember forge]

i would need to win

[wicked minnow]

Yeah ptilo should be good

@ember forge since is2 forces you to get some relics i had a couple that mightve helped a bit like medics heal fast and initial dp. It could be nice if you have a vanguard by then to print dp. Also spot instead of cuora should be overall better

[ember forge]

yeah i have only 4 squads

[ember forge]

i dont have many good relics unlocked

[gleaming tinsel]

go-ex-8 doable with wisadel as support unit and otherwise pretty low bob operators? xD

[wicked minnow]

you should be fine i think it's just phantom might be a bit difficult without a plan

[ember forge]

he is difficult 😭

even with wisadel i couldnt beat him

[wicked minnow]

idk how good pozy s3 with mod is against him but he is in fact a bit difficult if you didnt prepare for him

[pure orchid]

I already sleep when u msg

[full terrace]

@pure orchid yo look at this, leakless Sentinel

Also this is my first time drafting Degen in Sentinel, she really is broken in this map

Now I understand why people wanna Heidi her

[elder flume]

Eureka wouldve been perfect but she takes too long

need to stall both SK for 5s minimum

anyone got P6 mod3 Ash?

Try #friend-id

I think I saw some people with max pot Ash awhile ago

[pure orchid]

Only 3 more lp and you could’ve just leaked sentinel

Also you’re a filthy sentinel farmer?

I thought you were better than this

[full terrace]

😂

No I didnt specifically farm the stage

Was just grinding icons for the class squads

[rapid geyser]

Yes the CM one

[somber falcon]

Should be relatively easy with those ops
Bait the first skill with gravel and deploy wis on the middle to blast Alistair's whole entourage

[full terrace]

Since you raised Gladiia and have her modded, borrow Ulpianus for a no brainer finish

Thats your squad except for Eyjaberry - I dont have Lumen raised. You can use Lumen S3 and if that wasnt enough, bring extra Medic.

Make good use of Ulpianus S3, He redeploys himself whenever you use that S3 - this will make him the "last deployed operator" and he will bait all of Alistair's attacks for you.

Also when you see the Steam Knight is about to do his super punch, activate his S3 to completely dodge that super punch (not that he needs it but just in case).

[rapid geyser]

Is fine if Gladiia s3 still lv7

I only m3s2 her lmao

[somber falcon]

Her main role on arf's strat is her dr and regen from mod3, so ye skill doesn't really matter

You can also use her S2 it doesnt really matter

good def + dr mod

[wicked minnow]

i know right senshi my goat

[wispy condor]

so true

[astral cosmos]

i'm not gonna lie i was completely devastated upon finding senshi has more def than hung

[wicked minnow]

senshi's suprisingly tanky ye

[wispy condor]

between the stats and marcilles talent hung never stood a chance im afraid

[astral cosmos]

[wispy condor]

still, hung s2 feels very comfy to use despite the sp cost. atk/def +80% goes hard

[astral cosmos]

btw bison has more def than nian offskill while blocking

[wispy condor]

will never stop emphasizing that s2 starts at 18/20. this shit is so helidroppable

[astral cosmos]

i'm gonna do the exact same thing with bison shilling hang on

[wicked minnow]

i can get behind some bison shilling

[elder flume]

I use Hung to stall Patriot timer
Ela exists now so i dont have to cycle skills every 25s but thats ok

[civic bear]

too bad the skill not very op

rotation wise

[astral cosmos]

bison s2 sucks ya, that's why you use s1 though
it's 100% vs 120% def increase, it's negligible. s1 is better

good cycle and duration

[jagged drift]

Guys I need help how can I clear this stage with my team I tried multiple times but my strategy is shit 😭 and show me tips about how to improve my strategy please I watched video did everything possible but Still fail

[astral cosmos]

also i always thought nian was better than hoshi brick wise

i was wrong

unless onskill but 🥹

[civic bear]

huh

that nian is wrong

its modless prob

or rather

mod1

she got 1.2k def

20% trait and another 21% from talent upgrade

yea i checked nian hoshi has 30 def diff skillless

thats why she better 🥺

[astral cosmos]

herm maybe i applied those in the wrong order

[civic bear]

order doesnt matter

times 1.41

[astral cosmos]

ok i probably forgot to apply the 20%

ya i did whoops

[wispy condor]

bison cracked wtf

definitely want to see these with mods taken into account

[astral cosmos]

this is the correct one

fuck u ancool now bison is 4th

[elder flume]

Heres perma frighten Cutter

[astral cosmos]

mods are taken into account

[wispy condor]

ah i see

the disparity between croissant and cuora here has me fucked up

[astral cosmos]

yep croissant sucks

this is mainly bc she has no def talent and she has the wrong module

[wispy condor]

maybe shes tankier if she just dodges enough

[astral cosmos]

technically heavyrain and croissant are infinitely tanky for phys dmg because they both have dodge

[tawdry path]

@jagged drift

You can make this easier by borrowing eyja caster on orchid

And just dump bodies at the end

[jagged drift]

Thx

[wispy condor]

when following guides, be aware you can substitute in stronger units that fulfill the same function. youll need to know what your own operators do and make up for the differences in dp cost, but it often makes following it much easier

[tawdry path]

Notice how the molotov throwers dont hit the operators in grass tiles, theyre cameo and therefore not targetted

[wispy condor]

watching the deployment orders on this guide, your mr.nothing would make a great melantha substitute actually

[tawdry path]

I put ansel and a melee operator down there and theyd only target him

I had a bit of a mistake where i put melantha abit too early, and made her take more damage

Ideally youd put melantha as soon as the camo casted is on tile so they can be blocked and targetted

[elder flume]

their 3stars are level 1 so cant copy lol

[tawdry path]

Yeah unfortunately

But the idea is thats the general play

[elder flume]

Blacknight is Vigil
Tried using same levels

[elder flume]

Nothing has always been great
people just hate Merchants

[wispy condor]

directly copying guides 1for1 with the exact same ops doesnt really teach you to read your own ops kits so might be a good thing for learning actually

[wispy condor]

preach

mr.nothing is just pretty easily the worst merchant sadly

in damage terms yes

in utility term hes insane

so yea

id assume thats the attack you're referring to

ye it just huge dmg in quick succession

back then its just swapping bodies

[full terrace]

Ulpianus technology

[glass monolith]

Arts pick up cheese

[civic bear]

ye just perma tremble ez

[maiden hound]

jus wis logos ulpiss shu eyjalt gladiia ela degen mlynar it or something

[wooden blaze]

I only have five/4 stars just defeated it by borrowing Mlynar.

[wicked minnow]

viviana tank technology

[full terrace]

Here some low-end clear for reference #strategy message adjust according to your lineup.

[wooden blaze]

I'm the brute force type of guy.

[civic bear]

low rarity low level should abuse the item as much as possible

theyre so broken

[wooden blaze]

Never liked using my brain.

[maiden hound]

is all rng anyways just pray the arts unit hit

[wicked minnow]

what rng

oh that

[civic bear]

item drop

[wicked minnow]

takes too much effort to bring powerstrike in squad

[wooden blaze]

I completely ignored that.

[civic bear]

wouldve saved you some hours 😔

[wooden blaze]

Hey, at least I learned boss patterns.

I thought it nuked randomly.

[maiden hound]

congrats you now know how to deal with him in 11-20

[wooden blaze]

Already defeated that stage.

[maiden hound]

oh well

[elder flume]

meanwhile im trying to break the map

[smoky halo]

omg degen at home

how broken

‼️

[glass monolith]

CC9 ptsd flashbacks

[full terrace]

Ah I love that diagonal push

[elder flume]

its prob easier to setup if i put Enforcer to the left

shields block extra velocity making it not as effective

need someone to be nullified

[tawdry path]

@prisma swift this is how i did it back then

Wanna borrow horn instead?

[prisma swift]

i finally did it but i still borrowed an e2 blue poison thing for the bottom 2 fat fucks

i guess its whatever as long as its not a borrowed wis 😭

[tawdry path]

🎉

[prisma swift]

theres fucking flamethrowers now????

[tawdry path]

Yeah..

[elder flume]

funny flame men

[scarlet fulcrum]

Domino tower

[prisma swift]

can pillars kill bosses

[tawdry path]

They do dmg ya

[wicked minnow]

quite a decent amount too

[elder flume]

imagine oneshotting

[wicked minnow]

they dont exactly oneshot enemies below them they have a bit more mechanics than that but most enemies you meet should die to it

[civic bear]

they deal 12k

typically

you can see pillar stat thing p sure

its same as their atk

[prisma swift]

wat i do against this boss

[tawdry path]

You wanna bonk the boss with pillars to cancel her scary beam attack

[wicked minnow]

wa

not really the reason you bonk her

[civic bear]

thats still phase 1

[wicked minnow]

phase 1 you stall with healers + a blocker

phase 2 you bonk her and dps her

[civic bear]

phase 1 the boss is on the ground so you can kinda just park it

[tawdry path]

thats still phase 1?? Yeah runs cooked

[civic bear]

the boss has damage reduction. but its removed for a while after the boss is pillar'd.

thats why theres like

5 pillars

on her path

[elder flume]

she will pull pillars towards your operators in phase 2 to kill them so plan for that after

[prisma swift]

u can cancel?

oh i got spoiled

theres phsae 2

yeah fuck im not even beating phase 1

[civic bear]

the intended way is to pillar. deal a good amount of damage (like 70%) until she gets her shield back. and then pillar once more and finish off her phase 1. then phase 2 you repeat the same thing

boss is fairly weak stat wise

it only feels tanky because of damage reduction

[prisma swift]

i managed to land 2 pillars

not the third one

what do these do

[prisma swift]

what they do

[civic bear]

its pillars

[elder flume]

thats for her mainly
but can also use to do more damage to enemies

[civic bear]

the usual idea is like this

obviously you dont need to follow it

can push pillar #2 first going above for example

but the gist is the same

[prisma swift]

oh

which one shouldl i use the item on

4?

[civic bear]

pillar-damage-pillar-kill phase 1- pillar - damage- pillar - kill phase 2

whichever

4 is best usually

because thats when

phase 2

and boss recovers her shield

you should move pluma 1 tile below

so someone can hit the pillar

[prisma swift]

??????

did i miss something

i landed 2 pillars and boss is above 50%

wheres phase 2

not above 50%

[civic bear]

you need to hit

the boss

[prisma swift]

but hes not close to dying

[civic bear]

not just pillar

hit her too

[elder flume]

damage with your ops

[prisma swift]

whos a good option

hoe?

[civic bear]

any

[prisma swift]

most dont do dmg

[civic bear]

they do

once pillared

shes not tanky at all

[prisma swift]

oh she get def red after pillared

or what

[civic bear]

she loses it

mandra only has like 500 defense

[prisma swift]

she loses her shit

hahah

[civic bear]

and 40 res or smth

its damage reduction

defense/res stays the same

[maiden hound]

i think bro is cooked with this setup she's not even phase2 yet

at least redirect lgos to middle lane to handle her i think

[civic bear]

mountain + kroos handles left lane by themselves

pluma logos right lane

the rest just goes to hitting pillars and boss

and then golem later

[prisma swift]

hell kroos damage is like scratching against those hoverboards

[civic bear]

you want her to just stun

so they get blocked by mountain eventually

[prisma swift]

kroos stun?

wait

kroos stun since when

[civic bear]

its her talent

krooster not kroos 3*

[prisma swift]

woah 20%

[civic bear]

unlocks e1

[prisma swift]

at e2

[tawdry path]

That would be for kroos the glint, 5* variant

[prisma swift]

10% in e1

😭

[civic bear]

as long as it proc once

it works

which is likely to happen

[tawdry path]

She shoots super fast on s2 so youd get it a couple of times

[prisma swift]

oge i tyr

try

i already messed up

maybe i need the 3* kroos to shoot pillar 2

oh wait i can push it to the left

[civic bear]

dont have units adjacent to pillars able to hit pillar if you dont want to drop them

[prisma swift]

logos where?

[civic bear]

same position is ok

[prisma swift]

middle get blasted by the beam

and no ground tiles for gravel to bait

[civic bear]

what do you even bait for

when boss got pillared she become really weak

cant even use skill for a while

so its just auto

[lyric elbow]

wait can't I just use Lappland ...

[elder flume]

frighten isnt silence

[lyric elbow]

oh ):

[civic bear]

any powerstrike works

[elder flume]

also Lappy takes too long to her skill to activate frighten

[civic bear]

you prob have lots of random powerstrike ops

[prisma swift]

vro 💔

[civic bear]

basicly half op has it

[prisma swift]

oh

i never knew

bruh

oh whats after i activate phase 2

[lyric elbow]

But I though that I need someone with AOE no ?

[prisma swift]

left lane dies as well

[civic bear]

why is hoe

not just

retreat

after pillar hit

[prisma swift]

ines + kroos did not handle left lane

[civic bear]

mountain

[prisma swift]

ok

[civic bear]

no shot this doesnt handle left side

[elder flume]

depends how many enemies youre blocking
if theres 1 you only need to block and hit 1
if 2 you need to block and hit 2

[civic bear]

im quite confident cuz i know that

e0 defender

and e0 chalter

which is basicly just dumbed down any phys dps + any melee guard/def at high level

clears that lane

[prisma swift]

vro what logos died to the beam

💔

[prisma swift]

i placed him next to m in this picture

[civic bear]

dont deploy logos

early

wait

bruh

just dont get lasered then

block the boss after pillared

right of mountain isnt ideal because you want to pillar first

before it gets to meet any of your op on phase 2

so it doesnt laser you

just do this

p2 is green

kill p1 in top lane . chain the pillar

[prisma swift]

THIS IS A LIE

i hit him with the pillar on the right side

[civic bear]

It literally isn't

[prisma swift]

then he immediately beamed my logos

wat

[civic bear]

Did she die

Phase 1

[prisma swift]

no

[civic bear]

Did she get her

Shield back

[prisma swift]

what shield

[civic bear]

The skill is based on the shield

The particle

[prisma swift]

[civic bear]

It's very obvious

[prisma swift]

idk lemme see again’

[civic bear]

It's because she got her skill back

Then she use skill

[prisma swift]

how does she get her shield back

but i just hit her with the pillar

[civic bear]

After few seconds

Or

When u pillar

[prisma swift]

like .5 second later he hit me with the laser beam

[civic bear]

And then she take 70% ish of her hp

[prisma swift]

yeah

[civic bear]

Are you sure she got hit

[prisma swift]

its about 70%

[civic bear]

No

As in

Say she at 100%

[prisma swift]

30% left

[civic bear]

Then take pillar dmg to 80%

Then you deal 70% of that 80% hp

So when she at uhh 24% hp

She gets her shield back automatically

[prisma swift]

bruh

this is stupid

[civic bear]

Just read her skill mang

This game is all just about reading

[prisma swift]

her skill doesnt give numbers

description

[civic bear]

Ye but it says

What happens

P sure it does have number for the shield thing tho

[toxic flume]

Dang i hate this stage ngl

[civic bear]

a lot of ppl hate it

cuz its open early

to new player

but takes quite a bit of effort

mechanic wise

going from ch3 to it is a noticable jump

[toxic flume]

Ngl i let the boss get in base and focus on minions

[civic bear]

quite the same with ch14

[toxic flume]

Um

Chapter 14 is alot easier

[prisma swift]

my ahh brain cant focus on 3 lanes at once

wtf

[elder flume]

maximize the pause button

[civic bear]

is there anything to do on the left and right lane still

its more or less afk no

[prisma swift]

right lane dies

cuz im only putting la pluma there

[civic bear]

i guess time to move logos i guess

to better place

[prisma swift]

when i use the skill i realised boss walked past 3 pillars

[civic bear]

put bottom left of pluma facing up instead

[toxic flume]

And her phase 2 can destroy a pillar and guests what

[prisma swift]

yeah true

[civic bear]

yeah but

the setup

minimizes

phase 2 flying duration

so the boss should never use her pillar skill

[violet sorrel]

heeeeeelp, i'm losing sanity irl now

civi so stooopid

[civic bear]

just change logos to here

basicly same setup

but now logos help pluma

x is blocker to help from time to time

dont need that many medic

[prisma swift]

wait u can deploy on those metal tiles

[civic bear]

when you hover your op

[prisma swift]

yeah i changed to 3* kroos and lapp

[civic bear]

you can see green tile

[prisma swift]

for more options to fuck the pillar

and then just now i forgot to retreat ines and broke a pillar

cuz i was doing ely

gauidfhpauisdyfb asd

LOCK IN

[toxic flume]

hmmm i think this doesn't enough to clear it

[somber falcon]

roster?

[violet sorrel]

[civic bear]

Have you been borrowing ng for it

I'd assume you have 0 issues with the mobs right

[spark sinew]

unrelated but raise purestream to e1 1

[civic bear]

Just protecting civ

Bring double fast redeploy. Don't need level. Purely to bait ignite so your team don't get clapped

[violet sorrel]

only protecting issue

[civic bear]

Ng on 2nd/3rd/4th/5th lane

[violet sorrel]

uhh nope

[civic bear]

Usually on 2nd or 5th

Facing up or down

This covers all but 1 lane

That 1 lane you use cage

The alternative is to use civilight eterna s3. Both kinda do same objective

Maximize their skill and your units won't die

If they don't die during fireballs civ can't die

Should win

Ng has long skill cr

Cd

So you don't want to kill too fast

[prisma swift]

vro i did my best

mountain died

logos died

[worldly stirrup]

Logos s3

[prisma swift]

the phase 2

wtf

smelly fucking farts

[civic bear]

Trace back why you died

[prisma swift]

left lane couldnt hold it

like towards the end

[somber falcon]

try it with ng then

[prisma swift]

and logos was assisting right lalne

[civic bear]

Why can't it hold

[prisma swift]

when logos died middle was over as well

[civic bear]

Who did it die to

How did logos die anyway

[prisma swift]

smelly farts

and some moves

[civic bear]

How

[prisma swift]

ptilo didnt heal enough

[civic bear]

Just autos no?

Boss is on phase 2 before entering 3rd pillar right?

[prisma swift]

i thought i cooked with the ines placement such that the pillar hit and i get a bind

[prisma swift]

no

after third pillar

nobody in my party do damage to boss 😭

logos and who else

[civic bear]

Show your squad

Is hoe e1 or smth

Hoe e1 should still clear tho

Hoe s1

Block the boss

[prisma swift]

who do i use to break all the pillars then

[civic bear]

Any op

[maiden hound]

even gravel works

[prisma swift]

yeah i did

[civic bear]

You can prehit

[prisma swift]

and then there was 3 other pillars

[civic bear]

Pillars

Before hand

[prisma swift]

i id

bruh

i still need last hit

to make it collapse

first i used gravel

[civic bear]

Lapp gravel

[prisma swift]

lapp is on cd cuz i used it to prehit the third one

maybe i just push the third one

[violet sorrel]

pre break the pillar before spank the boss into phase 2

[civic bear]

3* n gravel kroos prehit top two

[violet sorrel]

[prisma swift]

bro the boss aint even go phase 2

i dont do enough damage

my logos full skill activation did jackshit

still need 2 pillars

3*

4 i mean

wait no 3 it is

[civic bear]

Bruh ill show

[worldly stirrup]

Stall boss with amiya guard or smth + healer or two

[civic bear]

he def could

saria ptilo silence

[prisma swift]

wait is hoe s1 or s2

[civic bear]

s1

so he heals

[prisma swift]

ok

i need kroos to prehit the third pillar

im running out of battery

fukckkkck

wait wouldnt logos s2 work

[violet sorrel]

umm

[prisma swift]

50% res

and ton of single target dmg

[violet sorrel]

bcuz i cant check the ng skill info outside fight

what she do

and when should i use

[prisma swift]

bROOoooo

kROOS

[spark sinew]

you do have a device that just knocks pillar down

[prisma swift]

IS NOT FUCKING HITTING THE TOWER

[spark sinew]

so just use this

[prisma swift]

what about the fourth one

the fourth one is very hard to land the final hit

so i was saving it for that

[spark sinew]

were you not talking about fourth one? what

[prisma swift]

3rd

[spark sinew]

every other pillar is adjacent to a melee tile

[prisma swift]

i need damage dealers to knock out phase 1 before third pillar

and if i need damage dealers i have to save one up and use a ranged instead

but then kroos wont hit the 3rd one

prehit

[spark sinew]

uhhh

[somber falcon]

extra res
wdym you can't, just see it on the borrow screen

[spark sinew]

idk, use melee op instead of kroos in squad then?

[violet sorrel]

mybad

[prisma swift]

what has fast redeployment

maybe lvl 1 fang works

[worldly stirrup]

Og yato

[prisma swift]

wait jaye is good right

[worldly stirrup]

Yeah merchant also frd

[prisma swift]

he eats dp wtf

plume it is

oh man my device is dying before i beat the stage

this is so sad

[violet sorrel]

ok new issue acquired

i couldnt kill the 2 big drones

only 1

life is shiet alrdy
and there is civi on this stage

ok thx for trying to help, i go sleep

[tardy elm]

What else do i need? (Im new btw)

[tawdry path]

my condolonces to 3 million lmd

[spark sinew]

is this afk squad or

is this some attempt at surtr hyperbuff

warf is borderline useless

eyja3 buffs surtr hp and speeds up hp loss

[tardy elm]

I want to beat the shit out of crownslayer

[somber falcon]

what

[tawdry path]

all you need is shaw and roadblocks for that

[tardy elm]

I want to do it the most exaggerated way

[elder flume]

well youre missing Conviction and 2 slots

[tardy elm]

Oh shit mb

[spark sinew]

surtr is not the best op to buff i believe

the problem is

CC is waaaaaaaaaaaay too squishy

so this shit will die just to alpha strike from eyja texas

[civic bear]

surtr easiest

[maiden hound]

use cs s3 to beat cs

[civic bear]

because it matches well with all good buffer

ez to aak. saria reed suzu shu pair well. heck even m3 is useful

[spark sinew]

like the insane atk buff from warf, which adds so much damage

[civic bear]

warf aint too bad cuz she has 800 atk 🥺

[elder flume]

just time stop tbh

might break your game but thats the point

[lilac herald]

For Vina ex08 should I focus killing the drone first or the boss?

[elder flume]

if boss attacks you then boss
if not then not boss

[lilac herald]

Alright

Nvm I give up stage is too hard

[narrow pendant]

Pls do modules

🥹

[lilac herald]

Either I haven't unlock the stage required or didn't have enough trust

Damn highest progress of the stage is 98%

Damn the second boss just wiped my team out

[elder flume]

every 4 attacks goes into charged mode and deal 2.7k phys x 3

[glass monolith]

2700 is H11, i think

Never checked EX stats of fraud

[elder flume]

after reaching hp tresholds launches missiles on 1 or 2 highest max hp allies

never bothered calcing non 2.7k

its his signature number

[lilac herald]

I'm on the third stage of the boss if my eyja heal in time I could have clear the stage

[narrow pendant]

This sk is 11-20
Not h11 stats🥹

[lilac herald]

But sadly she didn't heal on time and my Ulpi and degen got killed by the boss

[round kraken]

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but... Strat for GO-9 for noobs?

[full terrace]

How did you lose with that squad 😐

[round kraken]

I only have 4 E2s

[lilac herald]

That fucking drone

[full terrace]

GO-6 #strategy message
GO-7 #strategy message
GO-8 #strategy message
GO-9 #strategy message

[round kraken]

Thanks!

[lilac herald]

I swear the drone more harder than the boss

[full terrace]

Mlynar alone can kill all drones. Heck even Kyostinv runs Mlynar carry

You stack Logos with him thats extra safe

[lilac herald]

Oh yeah I forgot Kyostin exist

Alright then

[narrow pendant]

Poor italian man

[full terrace]

Watch this for reference #strategy message
Here is the strat #strategy message

You run half my Standard squad, I know it by heart you cant lose with that kind of lineup. People cleared with way less resources.

[toxic flume]

Absolutely cooked

[full terrace]

You are already borrowing Wisadel you can 2 cycle Mandra. Here is the strat #strategy message and here is the simulation using someone's squad back then #strategy message

[toxic flume]

Look at the boss hp bro

[azure roost]

use skill better

[smoky halo]

can someone grab me steamknight stats for go-ex-8

just need to know if cuora can tank

offskill

[elder flume]

1600

1920 CM

Looking at 2.4k x 3

[rapid geyser]

Alright ty for the guide

Im use Tex S3 and Ulpi S2

Kinda work

[astral cosmos]

hurgh ex7 cm is tough

[round kraken]

The mad king's targeted AoE in GO-9 is time-based, right?

And lions can spawn on the high ground? But, like, not always. What's the mechanic there?

[astral cosmos]

his cross attack has a cd of 25s. it's basically a skill
lions can spawn anywhere a caster tactical equipment is, if it's converted by alistair

[round kraken]

I'm trying to make my own auto deploy, but I'm smol

[round kraken]

Oh! But not tank or melee?

Err, whatever the word is for physical attack buffs

[astral cosmos]

nope
alistair systematically targets the closest eq and converts it into:

• 200% atk as melee phys dmg to the last deployed unit within range (swords)
• a lion (caster)
• a shield + dr arc in one direction (if he already has one, it switches its direction) (shield)

his cross atk is 200% atk as ranged phys dmg

[round kraken]

Yikes. Don't like that. But I didn't know the shields were directional! That's helpful.

Thanks! I get it now.

[astral cosmos]

yeah i misnamed those, it's actually a barrier that's non directional + an arc shield that's directional
the arc shield disappears once the barrier is broken, and if you attack him from bottom or from top you can just ignore the arc

ok that was actually slightly challenging

i really hope my favourite goobers can do ex8

[narrow pendant]

Am i your fav goober
