My logos S3 can kill both Alistar and both drones from phase 1
but S3M3

full terrace
#

Not exactly, you just deploy FRD right after you deploy someone

modern copper
#

shit he's m1 on my end

#

i shouldn't have neglected my skill raising

full terrace
#

So like this: Logos ~> Gravel, Ela ~> Texas something like that

south spindle
#

also gravel should go in the right side corners, if you put her too early something else might kill her

#

the cross attack CD is 25s, gravel is 16s

#

if you dont put her in the corners he will spawn lions

modern copper
#

are lions always in the corner?

eager turtle
#

there's any guide for GO-EX-8 without Mylnar?

he says no gladiia

#

idk if he wants to get her or not

#

but yeah s2m3 ulpianus steamrolls the last steam knight

wintry gulch

ah

willow sun
#

@modern copper

#

my zuo le was m0, i got him to phase 2 but couldn’t keep zuo alive through steam knight’s phase transition

#

you can just use silencer s2 though

full terrace
elder flume
#

Alistair splash is every 30s btw

#

If its too hard to count in your head use the ops redeploy timer to time iti

willow sun
#

or the dp bar assuming your dp isn't full

full terrace
willow sun
#

are you sure that'd work? just all the, yk, levels and masteries

#

it might be a bit much, i was struggling just to use m0 zuo le

full terrace
willow sun
#

i moreso meant stuff like general dps

#

lemme watch the clear first actually

full terrace
willow sun
#

jeez relax, i'm just worried that at a time like this someone could die and screw things up

wicked minnow
#

logos handles those drones in the first phase and the boss pretty damn well sheeesh

full terrace
#

Thats not even a problem, they were there to mitigate the damage on device. If the guy is so afraid to mitigate the damage he can just reposition Purestream, Logos, and Ela away. Also the freakin E1 Purestream could even survive that idk what your problem is.

wicked minnow
#

why are we mitigating damage on the device?

full terrace
willow sun
#

im more confident than not that it would work, don't put words in my mouth

wicked minnow
#

i feel like it should work. i dont see anything really on the margins with the strat

willow sun
#

yeah i had the wrong wording

wicked minnow
#

the one thing that was a bit ehhh was the drone that had a tiny sliver of hp that logos had to kill. i feel like that might be an issue on some runs but that's it maybe. maybe the timing of the skill wasnt the best or gravel can tank or smthn. everything else seemed solid i think

full terrace
#

I simulated it with max Logos and he kills but I mean, just in case

#

Also the missiles are kinda safe to tank when you have lots of units around the device with a Medic healing them

#

Will just hit everyone 1 time and thats it

modern copper
#

jeez

#

how are you this good at the game

#

are you endmin speaking from the future

modern copper
wicked minnow
#

that's what i've been saying bro need to make tutorial vids on a yt channel ExeNaruhodo

full terrace
#

My eyes were on the top side watching Ceobe, Degen and friends

pearl musk
#

i did a funny strat for h11-2 and h11-4 where i sandwiched the steam knight between specter and spalter and cycled their immortality skills.

can i do the same for go-ex-8 cm?

full terrace
#

Should work if it did in H11-4

wicked minnow
#

huh, cool way of doing it

fleet rapids
#

Hellow guys, any tips for someone that just start playing IS5? Currently im level 18

full terrace
#

I would recommend you to do the main story first and E1 some units

#

And E2 your 6 Stars

fleet rapids
#

Ahh i forgot to mention it mb, for operators E2 skill its kinda okay and main story its already completed

full terrace
#

The whole 14 Chapters? What ops do you have there

fleet rapids
#

Im just that kind type of guy that never touch IS 😭

acoustic slate
#

My tip is start with IS2 and go in order

wicked minnow
#

if you are done with main story already getting into is5 should be no issue

#

also yeah what ops you got?

fleet rapids
fleet rapids
full terrace
#

Its fine if you have the ops. What do you have there

acoustic slate
# fleet rapids Its fine right if i start with IS5?

Of course

But imo no. You will have a very steep learning curve for the mechanics and then the older IS will feel bland in comparison.

I think you (and anyone) should start with is2 partially to learn and partially because the newer ones will spoil you

fleet rapids
full terrace
#

Ah you'll be fine

#

Thats a Lv18 account? Very impressive

fleet rapids
#

My bad

full terrace
#

Ahhh

#

You'll be perfectly fine, start with triple borrow

#

Get IS module for Kaltsit and Rosmontis/angelina when they release

I'm assuming this is not a high diff coz well, Lv18

fleet rapids
#

Okeyy

#

Do you have Blueprint squad unlocked?

fleet rapids
#

Not yet, long way to go xd

full terrace
#

Work on your Skill Tree while you play

#

And unlock the Blueprint, it will help

fleet rapids
#

Ahh noted it

full terrace
#

Yah that

#

Also unlock all Impressions as soon as possible

fleet rapids
#

If il do only some stright line is it fine?

#

So that you can rob Cannot and whatnots

There is a brain icon

Click that brain icon, and spend your Plans on it

#

At F1, Encounter nodes worth more than Combat/Emergency nodes

F2-F3-F4 Combat/Emergency > Encounter

#

F5-F6 fish for Encounters again

He increases your Toil Limit

fleet rapids
#

Insane okay noted it

#

Any other recommendation operator that i need to promote?

#

Shrivel and Sprouts on F1 will be carrying your run btw

#

I mean if you are using your own thats also fine

Skill 3

fleet rapids
#

2 targets heal module? Insane

#

I didnt know that hahaha

Its more for Mon3tr stats bonus

#

And the no deployment limit cost

fleet rapids
#

I see

#

Got it thankyou soo much

#

For the tips

#

Best of luck, you'll kill it

#

My honest reaction: can you make me a hydrogen bomb

wicked minnow
#

i feel like you could've used a weighted average of some sorts for his rng

#

like. replacing his entire schtick with increasing the chance to double hit with a single crit multiplier

#

surely there was a better way of doing it

willow sun
willow sun
#

lol

wicked minnow
#

oh... that's funny

willow sun
#

problem is each time he hits not only does his chance to crit change, but also his damage

#

so both have to scale at the same time

#

solution was just to copy and paste a bunch of the calculations with temporary summation variables and make sure everything was calculated correctly

unless youve got a ton of good relics somehow i dont think this is feasible

dusky hawk

I got a few relics that I’d say r pretty good

But uh

#

Ima go try it

tawdry path
#

godspeed

pearl stone
#

Is wis a borrow?

tawdry path
#

hold middle lane and try to use jaye and teq timing to hold phantom on top left ig

#

and see if you can burst down

wicked minnow
tawdry path
#

You're gonna leak dogs early tho

pearl stone
#

They have 40 dp

tawdry path
#

oh nvm

pearl stone
#

Saria in the choke works fine

wispy condor
#

lucian has the same dash-through-an-operator gimmick as crownslayer, i would recommend putting tequila on top lane, then waiting for lucian to get close to deploy jaye right next to him. activate tequilas skill to start block, and lucian will dash through one and get blocked by the other. from there, pray wis'adel kills

pearl stone
#

It mostly comes down to dodge rng

tawdry path
#

pretty much

wicked minnow
#

no dodge rng when blocked

wicked minnow
pearl stone
#

Damn, it's been a while since I've bothered blocking phantom

wicked minnow
#

very consistent if you know what you are doing and have e2 ops

fading wagon
# dusky hawk

if this is not the max difficulty then this should work as long as your time your roach

wispy condor
#

station kroos somewhere to shoot down the balloons before they get too close to your formation

tawdry path
#

thorn aiming right and ling S3 was enough to beat phantom ReedBean

dusky hawk
tawdry path
pearl stone
tawdry path

Also you really wanna kill phantom before he breaks any roadblock or it's pretty much cooked

wicked minnow

place tequila 2tiles above saria in this diagram

i hope youre running saria s2, that would make this a bit easier

pearl stone

wicked minnow

roach only really dies if you block lucian up there and dont have any healers in sight

fading wagon
analog mirage
#

Finally a saria s2 used

wispy condor
#

firewatch below kroos facing up could work

dusky hawk
fading wagon
#

so he can hit boss too

wicked minnow
#

bro it's a e1 tequilla

#

he wont be doing shit

dusky hawk
#

Can someone pls tell me the order im a bit

tawdry path
#

lmao

fading wagon
#

welp

wispy condor
tawdry path
#

alright saria then wisadel facing top, as long as she can hit the upper section of the map you can place her wherever

wispy condor
#

e1 tequila is just there to block lucian once he comes by

tawdry path
#

then you can sandwich with Jaye

dusky hawk
#

It said I lost after I logged back onto Arknights… abt to crash out rn

fading wagon
#

saria wisadel, then kroos yes. after that just put down whatever

analog mirage
#

Gg

tawdry path
#

yeah if you quit mid fight in IS

dusky hawk
#

It was on pause

tawdry path
#

you just lose

#

If you're in the nodes window

limpid ore
#

pause doesnt mean shit ExuStare

tawdry path

maybe deploy astesia to sarias right to help direct attacks away from tequila RosThink thoughts?

easiest and more fun

Is3 would be easier and more fun

since they have hp of a wet towel in low difficulty

There no reset rng there

what end?

fading wagon

for is3 you can borrow wisadel/texalt/kroos alt you can abuse stun in is3 like so much lol

dusky hawk

Oki

#

Ima go do it

tawdry path
#

In is3 it's more likely you'd win your first ending without any prior knowledge

acoustic slate

IS2 is just more shit after experiencing the others

fading wagon

i started with is3

acoustic slate
#

Okay

fading wagon
#

now suffering with is2, i hate it so much (every 1 hour only 2 levels)

tawdry path
#

yeah it's insufferable

acoustic slate
#

Okay so you’re proving my point

#

And yet you tell someone else to do the same

willow sun
#

whats happening Bnuuy

#

actually i'll just backread

acoustic slate
#

Blah blah is2 so bad, go do others

#

Which in turn makes is2 seem even worse

#

The real answer here is for that guy to go play more story and not totally sideline his progression to grind IS

#

he’s just not ready

tawdry path
#

story does nothing material wise

acoustic slate

Yawn emoji

i mean, recipe unlocks

Then you shouldn’t be surprised to hit a brick wall

willow sun

unless you just want to play the game more after already spending your sanity on progressing, you shouldn't dedicate all (or at least most) of your time to IS

It’s my 3rd day on this acc 😭

if no gladiia mod, just borrow hoederer HellaHands

# willow sun ulpp is the e2 borrow like nightingale was for yours

He aint borrowing anything #help message and he has Nightingale #strategy message and you are telling him to spend resources to raise Gladiia? when he doesnt even have Ulpianus? And you straight up using Logos to kill everything when you know his is underleveled, that was like your criticism in the first place and you failed to address it yourself. At the very least I still divide the dps between Logos, Ela, Ceobe in case his Logos couldnt take care of all of them by himself. Your solution just went from worse to worst.

Also stop pinging me thank you very much

I mean I'm not close-minded, but if you wanna criticize the help, provide a better help to the person.

willow sun

his logos is the same level as mine, has two fewer masteries, however his krooster is out of date, proven by the missing e2 NG, and regardless s3m1 vs s3m3 is only a 15% damage difference, my kills have several seconds of leniency

if you want to beat CM you'll probably just have to rely on arts equipment rng with this team. your exu can handle the elite drones that spawn with a proper cycle and then you have to borrow wis to clear the boss and steam knight
the strat for the most part will be the same as whatever you did in NM, you just have to be more careful at the beginning of the stage since the boss now gains global range

# willow sun at the same time you admit your clear has faults, faults you never addressed wit...

I do have faults. The fact that it is ran on 2 different accounts bound to have discrepancy in the first place. Your quote-unquote criticism isnt even anything worth addressing because it's invalid in the first place. You said it yourself his Logos is moduled and you calc-ed M1 vs M3. Then there is nothing to be addressed because Lv60 vs Lv90 is nothing significant. You literally killed your own initial argument. I cussed you? You wanna criticize people yet you dont wanna get criticized? I'm trying to help people and you criticized the help, if you are ctiticizing the help, provide a better one. Whats wrong with asking you to make the clear for the guy? You take offense with that you have issues thats not my fault.

@prisma swift i'm curious, are you not borrowing because it makes the game too easy or do you just feel like its cheating in general?

prisma swift
#

how u still arguing vro its not that deep

willow sun
#

if you feel like its the first i'd honestly put off logos mod for later

prisma swift
#

i skipped like most stages with wis until like 9-16

willow sun
#

you know how strong he is now, right?

#

his mod makes him ~70% stronger

prisma swift
#

and then realised how much i struggle

willow sun
#

so just take that into consideration

prisma swift
pure raven
#

whats happening

willow sun
#

what part

tawdry path
#

ako as usual

prisma swift
#

what about ethan mod and sash mod

#

those dont need main story

willow sun
#

sash definitely wants his mod

#

ethan you can leave it for after you've built your DPS units

acoustic slate
willow sun
#

probably e2 60 sash and mod him during lappy event

prisma swift
#

am i supposed to have more than 1 dps built

#

9-19 i struggled with the boss cuz none of my ops do damage to the boss

#

only logos barely soloing a phase

acoustic slate
#

You got 12 squad slots

especially in that specific chapter

true but the slugs are getting one shot anyways yeah

hoe good as dps?

#

(do i e2 hoes)

willow sun
#

he's alright, mainly a boss killer or trash/elite laneholder on s3

#

s2 has permastun uses, not for dps

#

s1 has self-sustain uses, also not for dps

prisma swift
#

what about mountain e2

willow sun
#

i'd skip mountain e2

prisma swift
#

saria?

willow sun
#

also skip

#

again focus on your dps first

willow sun
#

which right now is sash > hoederer

just skip for now**

i get wanting to jump into the strategic parts of arknights but you gotta have a solid foundation to test those strats on first

tbh idt you need more dps than current "three" ones you have

it does, your main resources to upgrade operators come from base

add the s2 hp gate buff and she can arguably handle 1k def enemies

willow sun
spark sinew
#

did you try to use her on bosses

#

it's been so long for me idr 🫡

#

i can see her just dying to some bum boss, because she can't heal fast enough vs st

prisma swift
willow sun
#

probably shouldn't have included ulp s3 in hindsight

#

ulp s2/hoe s1 is total damage over 70 seconds

#

hoe s3 lasts 70 seconds

#

ulp s2 lasts 25 seconds

willow sun
#

with mod, max stacks with some trash on standby, and hp gate active she probably could but thats situational

spark sinew
#

i mean

#

is that not what i said

willow sun
willow sun
#

i agree that shes just for trash though, maybe elites at best

elder flume
#

Ive only used Pluma S2 in a 1 to 10 ratio RedOmegaLul

spark sinew
willow sun
#

ohh i see

#

that makes more sense

#

yeah i didn't see the context, mb

vocal leaf
# willow sun

i appreciate your calcs and graphs but they’re meaningless to me without context, i care more the practice, i once had a friend into that saying that exia dps was higher than wisadel LappDumb

willow sun
#

i just saw you mentioning def gates so i wanted to mention how surprisingly well she handles it

elder flume
#

Yeah i dislike S2 durations
Most times its dead moment inbetween

willow sun
vocal leaf
#

even then stats are not everything, enemies have skills and they don’t come alone, sometimes they even have synergies, that’s why context is so important to me

willow sun
#

idk, a lot of the skills i put in this list of calcs are very basic skills

#

hoe just hits twice then hits a third time harder

#

are they idealized? yeah, but do they function well enough for skills that don't do much outside of dealing damage? also yeah

spark sinew
#

i dislike pluma1 cause you get like, a bulky elite and she can't really do anything

willow sun
#

ive never actually read her s1 hold on Sheew

spark sinew
#

or you get like 3 guys in quick succession and she leaks

willow sun
#

oh just a powerstrike

spark sinew
#

or you get any of the above + some need for her to tank a hit and she (almost) dies in a couple

pure orchid
#

Yeah i think the only arguments for pluma1 are: afk, constant flow of enemy that cant fit in one s2

#

s2 is much better given the burst capability

willow sun
#

s1 is lazy man's s2 ReedBean

pure orchid
#

Dont get me wrong s1 is good but its like a win more skill than anything

celest bluff
#

I want more damage

#

There are no reason, just more damage

willow sun
#

?

#

do you need help with something?

celest bluff
#

Who should I put in for damage

#

I just want to build a squad that is absolutely overpowered

wicked minnow

suzuran qiubai logos reed alter saria lappland alter combo would be very cool

Your next mission is to pull Ines. Also you need a bit of healing if you want a flexible squad. Eyja and Shu are best.

oh as another arts dps

i thought she was another qiubai buffer

#

yato is slop but sexas isn't?

how come

wicked minnow
#

they are both slop 🥱

spark sinew

texas2 makes it look like a supposed art burst, so you wouldn't want to run buffless degen i would argue

spark sinew

willow sun
celest bluff
#

Buffless degen?

elder flume
#

Wait for time stop

spark sinew
#

if someone runs horn, i doubt they have 5 better ops than texas

willow sun
#

oh you just value sexas > yat2 then

elder flume
#

Or scale Ines for the next 8 months

willow sun
#

honestly they're not my style so i've never looked into them, i just know a lot of people consider them roughly equal

spark sinew
#

is the goal buff army or being overpowered for normal content? (which it already is)

willow sun
#

buff army was just brought up by shileds as a joke i believe

full terrace
#

I believe he just want more flexibility in contents like IS

spark sinew
#

logos qb suzu ceobe are really strong arts core
then you can slap texas2 reed2 saria3

wicked minnow
#

yes it was because what "more damage" are you needing SkadiDaijoubu

wicked minnow
#

lapp2 instead of ceobe is the main difference

spark sinew
# celest bluff Buffless degen?

she's sub 40k total damage on 0 defense enemies without buffs, but scales fairly well with atk buffers (of which there are plenty)

willow sun
spark sinew
#

kinda griefs logos, and you already do a lot of res stripping i feel

willow sun
#

oh right reed2 and sexas

spark sinew
#

so both ifrit aura and burn don't feel as impactful

willow sun
#

yeah i forgot about that whoops

wicked minnow
#

reed2 doesnt res strip?

willow sun
#

reedic and sexas both do i think

#

sexas on s2 has -30%, i believe reedic is flat shred

celest bluff
#

Most content ended with deploying Wisadel so I don't have the chance to use the full squad actually

south spindle
wicked minnow
#

it isnt the same. i think he's talking about res strip specifically

willow sun
#

wait no im crazy

#

i'm thinking of someone else

spark sinew
#

afaik % based strip come in last?

willow sun
#

im thinking of eyja fuck NotLikeIfrit

wicked minnow
#

% is last iirc

spark sinew
#

so for ceobe and logos who already ignore res, and then fire into someone under texas2 already

#

it's also just a bit clunky to setup without like

#

double flagpipe

celest bluff
#

2 flag and bagpipe?

spark sinew
#

around that

#

idt "double flagpipe" is a real expression

willow sun
#

2 flags and a pipe

#

get zooted

fading wagon
willow sun
#

who would you be buffing though? she can only choose 1

#

main dps is logos/qiubai, logos already has +300% so +90% is diluted heavily

#

also use stainless

#

or actually, no, mon3tr s2, i keep forgetting how good of a buffer she can be

fading wagon
#

hmm i was going to say on degen but her skill recharge might cause dps issue

spark sinew
#

i guess you drop texas and retreat her
feels meh regardless honestly
you could run a bard or ifrit instead

#

shu should give more than aak because we have at least 4 strong recipients

i dont have one account that has all these units leveled so i cant try ReedBean

#

The idea is to borrow Penance (or Mudrock) and pick up a wand with them, then have them stall the Steam Knight

#

Logos burst Alistair, then retreat

#

Then reposition him for Steam Knight

wicked minnow
#

logos no mod tho so im not sure how well he'd do

full terrace
#

The issue is DP

#

He needs a flag, and some FRDs to bait Alistair's attacks

wicked minnow
#

tequilla can probably be used to tank alistair's attacks

#

with ptilo always healing him it should be fine i think

full terrace
#

Tequila doesnt have Taunt talent like Mlynar, he needs the FRDs to constantly bait attacks after deploying a unit.

#

Well anyway, the person himself doesnt seem to care so

Lemme repost

You should be able to clear it with those ops regardless of Mastery levels. Nobody can help you simulate accurately when you didnt even M3-ed your units. Figure out how you should solve each problem on your own. Here is a low-end clear #strategy message and here is the strat #strategy message
Here are some simulations I made using people's squads: #strategy message and #strategy message and #strategy message and #strategy message and #strategy message
Watch them for reference on how to position your operators.

That should help your positioning

fresh jewel
fresh jewel
full terrace
#

If you learned the positioning, just identify your issue, if dps is lacking stack some more ops

#

If they are dying, assign more Medics

#

Simple as that

fresh jewel
#

they do not start

#

Oh RIP sorry to hear that

#

Discord is weird sometimes

fresh jewel
#

yeah so i'm forced to search yt simulations which do not work unfortunately

# fresh jewel

ok uh so i kept going and my wis died before even having her skill ready

#

first time happening, no idea what i did wrong

full terrace
#

I cant really help coz my meta ops are mostly maxed and M3-ed. I cant run you an accurate simulation that way, but the low-end one should work if you borrow an M3-ed Wisadel.

it's also inconsistent

Anyway there is only like 40 mins left, there isnt enough time to handhold you through everything

rapid junco
#

My phone can play it

full terrace
#

And I cant really run you an accurate simulation with M3-ed units too

#

I can only give you inputs on positioning and thats what I'm trying to do

fresh jewel
full terrace
# fresh jewel

That Mlynar positioning is already optimal. You see, Alistair always target the "last deployed operator"

#

But since Mlynar has +1 Taunt, he will always be your "last deployed" operator

#

So you deploy him, and then quickly assign a Medic to him

#

Or two if he is dying

fresh jewel
#

i use ng (my only healer) on him

full terrace
#

Every X secs (30 secs according to Rain) the boss will pick up some equipment and launch the cross attack

#
  • shaped
#

And spawn 4x equipment on his target's adjacent tiles

fresh jewel
#

is there any way to prevent it?

full terrace
#

You tank it

#

Mlynar will take it like a champ and live

#

You just need to have him healed properly

fresh jewel
#

but i have to put wis a bit close to mlynar to eliminate the drones and the boss

#

i noticed however that my wis dies sometimes because of that

full terrace
#

It's because it's a + shape

#

If you put Wis directly below Mlynar, both of them will be hit

#

So you can just move her one tile back

fresh jewel
#

i didn't put it below mlynar, i put her diagonally

#

but she still dies

full terrace
#

She shouldnt

fresh jewel
#

oh might be caused by the archer and the robot on the bottom lane

full terrace
#

That is possible yeah

somber falcon
full terrace
#

Also try to keep one Revenant Shadow next to her

#

To keep her Camouflage

fresh jewel
#

somehow my mlynar died after i blinked

#

the boss killed him uh

#

is ng not good enough for healing

full terrace
# fresh jewel

If Nightingale is not enough, assign 1 more Medic to him

#

Also pull Wisadel back

#

Behind Mlynar and she will shoot everything down

#

I understand your mindset wanting to kill Alistair as fast as possible

#

But you dont need to do that

#

He isnt that big of a threat

#

Its the drones and whatnots you should be worried about

#

So position your Mlynar like before, and then Wisadel diagonally behind him

#

And then cycle their skills

#

Use Mlynar skill - then Wisadel shot - then Mlynar skill again
