Not exactly, you just deploy FRD right after you deploy someone
So like this: Logos ~> Gravel, Ela ~> Texas something like that
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
are lions always in the corner?
there's any guide for GO-EX-8 without Mylnar?
send roster (or just use support mlynar if you're willing to)
if you still need help, s2m3 mod3 ulpianus should be able to deal with steam knight, i did it with lumen + ptilopsis + e1 gladiia on another account
he says no gladiia
idk if he wants to get her or not
but yeah s2m3 ulpianus steamrolls the last steam knight
ah
@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
Lions are created by Alistair when he picks up the idle wand equipment
Alistair splash is every 30s btw
If its too hard to count in your head use the ops redeploy timer to time iti
or the dp bar assuming your dp isn't full
@modern copper Degen S1 and pick up the wand. Thats your squad.
Wand pick up positioning #strategy message
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
Degen S1 Lv7 is 5 hits Offensive Recovery. With interval of 1.3 sec, she applies Frighten every 7.8 secs
It doesnt freaking matter. If Alistair lives, just let Logos stay on the field longer. If Logos stay on the field longer, just stall Steam Knight with Degen longer.
jeez relax, i'm just worried that at a time like this someone could die and screw things up
logos handles those drones in the first phase and the boss pretty damn well sheeesh
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.
why are we mitigating damage on the device?
I mean if you are so sure it wouldnt work, by all means show him the better method that will work smfh
im more confident than not that it would work, don't put words in my mouth
i feel like it should work. i dont see anything really on the margins with the strat
yeah i had the wrong wording
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
The strat initially utilizes the device to bait few hits from the walmart steam knights and the drone when they get too close in case their Logos couldnt kill everything in time, that should buy his Logos enough time for the 2nd cycle.
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
are you doctor speaking from the game itself
that's what i've been saying bro need to make tutorial vids on a yt channel 
Thats just me panicking and activated his skill a bit early 😏
My eyes were on the top side watching Ceobe, Degen and friends
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?
Should work if it did in H11-4
huh, cool way of doing it
Hellow guys, any tips for someone that just start playing IS5? Currently im level 18
I would recommend you to do the main story first and E1 some units
And E2 your 6 Stars
Ahh i forgot to mention it mb, for operators E2 skill its kinda okay and main story its already completed
The whole 14 Chapters? What ops do you have there
Im just that kind type of guy that never touch IS 😭
My tip is start with IS2 and go in order
if you are done with main story already getting into is5 should be no issue
also yeah what ops you got?
Its fine right if i start with IS5?
Sure sec
Its fine if you have the ops. What do you have there
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
It is actually lmao
Owh no, imean IS5 Level 18
My bad
Get IS module for Kaltsit and Rosmontis/angelina when they release
Noted itt
Like this @fleet rapids
Ahh interesting
At F1, focus on doing Encounter nodes
I can try
For Shrivels and for Doodle/Talon
I'm assuming this is not a high diff coz well, Lv18
Okeyy
Do you have Blueprint squad unlocked?
Not yet, long way to go xd
If il do only some stright line is it fine?
So that you can rob Cannot and whatnots
You'll get them all eventually but yeah you can do that first
I see okay ?
Yah so when you reach Rogue Trader/Safe House/False to Truth nodes
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
Ahhh i see
For King Relics set
The benefit right?
And Duck Speed Highway
Try to promote your borrowed Tin Man as quick as possible
He increases your Toil Limit
Shrivel and Sprouts on F1 will be carrying your run btw
The borrowed max pot Wisadel is priority if you do so
I mean if you are using your own thats also fine
Okay got it
Kaltsit IS Module max that one out
Kaltsit will be your main carry for Ending 2 and Ending 3
Kalsit Skill 2 or 3?
Skill 3
Its help me alot lol
Yupp ✌️
My honest reaction: can you make me a hydrogen bomb
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
nop no thanks
that was a weighted average
lol
oh... that's funny
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
what did you get in the end?~~ im thinking of doing the calculation in a basic way so i wanna see~~ na im lazy still wanna know
Attack an undying enemy and count for 1 min 
I might not have enough to max pot Catherine 
Time to convert those OPs into Sanity
Oh IS2
Yup same stage as yesterday
i dont think this is possible 
it's very over
I got to 79 killed last time I tried
Yeah
unless youve got a ton of good relics somehow i dont think this is feasible
godspeed
Is wis a borrow?
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
you dont have 19 lives this time
You're gonna leak dogs early tho
They have 40 dp
oh nvm
Saria in the choke works fine
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
It mostly comes down to dodge rng
pretty much
no dodge rng when blocked
this is the strat i use for welfare clears
Damn, it's been a while since I've bothered blocking phantom
very consistent if you know what you are doing and have e2 ops
if this is not the max difficulty then this should work as long as your time your roach
station kroos somewhere to shoot down the balloons before they get too close to your formation
thorn aiming right and ling S3 was enough to beat phantom 
True
roach is gonna die there I feel
Ooo thx
What order
From what? She has camo and saria healing
Also you really wanna kill phantom before he breaks any roadblock or it's pretty much cooked
how are you killing the boss??
Yup I got it full lvl thingy
place tequila 2tiles above saria in this diagram
bro she dies last
nah I remember some aoe dmg
i hope youre running saria s2, that would make this a bit easier
Unlucky. Pozy is specifically better at killing phantom. If you weren't borrowing wis, you'd have an easier time with this map
swag
roach only really dies if you block lucian up there and dont have any healers in sight
What order do I do this
what difficulty though?
Finally a saria s2 used
firewatch below kroos facing up could work
1 x multi difficulty, the middle one
ohh then you should be good but wait maybe i should change my tequila spot
so he can hit boss too
Can someone pls tell me the order im a bit
lmao
youre lacking vanguards so saria first will be necessary. wis'adel/kroos next i think
Oki
alright saria then wisadel facing top, as long as she can hit the upper section of the map you can place her wherever
e1 tequila is just there to block lucian once he comes by
then you can sandwich with Jaye
It said I lost after I logged back onto Arknights… abt to crash out rn
saria wisadel, then kroos yes. after that just put down whatever
Gg
yeah if you quit mid fight in IS
oh welp
It was on pause
pause doesnt mean shit 
You wouldn't lose
maybe deploy astesia to sarias right to help direct attacks away from tequila
thoughts?
oh damn nvm
I got like negative rewards 😭
as a is2 grinder let me tell you if you dont care about finishing please do is3 first then move on to is4/5 is2 progression is genuinely shit/slowest
^^^°
Wdym finishing
max rewards
I don't know why people keep recommending is2 as their first is cause it's the most slugfest IS you'd ever do
level 170
I just want rewards idc what map it is
Oki
and more fast
Is3 would be easier and more fun
since they have hp of a wet towel in low difficulty
This one?
I would do is5 first
Yes the mizuki one
mb went to go do the run arf challenged me to do
There no reset rng there
what end?
for is3 you can borrow wisadel/texalt/kroos alt you can abuse stun in is3 like so much lol
In is3 it's more likely you'd win your first ending without any prior knowledge
this
IS2 is just more shit after experiencing the others
i started with is3
Okay
now suffering with is2, i hate it so much (every 1 hour only 2 levels)
yeah it's insufferable
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
story does nothing material wise
Yawn emoji
i mean, recipe unlocks
Well yea.. I’ve been avoiding story cause it’s boring and I wanna upgrade my ppl
Then you shouldn’t be surprised to hit a brick wall
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 😭
do enough to get the ball rolling then leave it for when its less of a pain in the ass
yeah if its your third day thats way too early
take a breather
Go do story, wtf
Okk I’ll go do story then
What’s that
Reclamation algorithm
nah bros just gonna hate ak by doing ra cheese this early
Knight try not to give bad newbie a bad suggestion challenge (impossible!!😱)
and btw if you think story is boring you can just skip it and just get to the fight (you can reread the story in the future anytime you want so you won't be missing anything) (this doesn't apply to events)
Trying to get resources and didn’t wanna waste sanity on resource stages
Smurf tech
Where else were you planning on spending your sanity?
Base upgrade mats
i mean sure you can dive headfirst into the slog
refill base drone :ya:
but people don't do that bc they have months to play this game
and the slog doesn't get any better
What’s slog
Endgame
Oh
probably referring to completing an IS battle pass
Tbh I just am waiting for the banner
aka boring ass labor
eh it's just what you do to get rewards, you just do it to pass the time
I should
(without spending a single dime in ak you would have decent progress regardless)
Yes i am in fact a cutie what seems to be the problem you're having
bro is too late
the is run already ended
most of the super useless friend UI theme costs real money
In my defense cloudflare was not letting me see discord messages
The problem is solved
ah that has happened to me too in the past
I disabled it for now
huh didn't know that was a thing
goofy ahh dns
that's wacky
I’ll call you cutie from now on 
First impression of IS-3.. a chest killed my wis and now I’m getting clapped (it’s the first stage)
Just restart the run
didn’t read that it reflected damage 
Gg spike chest
strongest wisadel counter
Yea I will
return 40% of damage taken as true damage to the attacker, yeah
well, you will only see this in IS3 and IS4
IS5 has walking, floating chest that steal you moeny instead
Is3 has a lot of bullshit u have to deal with
that remind me is5 doesnt have spiky chest :icant:
Or just accept ur fate ig
lost that little surprise
Good learning experience ig

There's spines instead ig I'll take those over spiky chest anyday
is5 really doesn't want you to use any conventional laneholder with those spines
pretty funky
yeah drop utage and forget it
schoolgirl utage or beachgirl utage
Thats even worse smh, the guy doesnt even have Ulpi, Gladiia, and Saileach I'm not watching all that. And dont ping me thank you very much.
Wow
You're banned from internet
!!
silence borrow, you don’t see that often 
True
Time for my weekly detox then 
he has 3 flagbearers
gladiia e1 is all you need
ulpp is the e2 borrow like nightingale was for yours
gladiia just needs the e1 for 2.5% regen, she sits there like a decoration the entire run
saileach generates dp one time (e1 0 sl1) then retreats
if no gladiia mod, just borrow hoederer 
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
arf sounds angy 
yeah the message from 4 months ago saying he wont borrow, when he stated earlier he's desperate enough to try
you wanted something more consistent and you got it
e1 gladiia is what, 50k lmd? if he's that broke that's a separate issue
Help i need to do the GO-EX-8 Challenge and i don't know waht to use 👉 👈
I am upset. I'm trying to help people here, not compare dick size with anyone. He came here and told me my method doesnt work (implied, not said it directly) when I literally sent a full clear video. I mean I'm not close-minded, but if you wanna criticize the help, provide a better help to the person.
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
What operators do you have there
his logos is only undereleveled compared to yours
learn to take criticism instead of just getting heated over absolutely nothing, please
can you show your roster?
I AM open to criticism, IF the criticism is addressing issues, and building something I lack. Yours not only did not address the issue, you literally provided a worse solution, you have no right to criticize in the first place.
Max Laios pogu

And by "consistent" you mean spamming Ulpianus everybody knows how to do that, you just found out about this now?
I just got in Arknights when that collab got in
well then let me critique your advice, borrowing hoe is better than borrowing ulpi with e1 gladiia
it’s sad people still think he’s bad or worthless
hoe does not have the necessary self-sustain to tank 3 steam knights
also s2m3 ulpianus' dps is akin to hoe s3m3
thats not a joke
above is hoederer, below is ulpianus
if youre using s1 are you using the caster equipment for frighten spam?
i didn't want to rely on rng so i avoided doing that
no, i didn’t pay attention the equipment. it was irrelevant
i also could've brought kroos to do that job instead of ulpianus or degen since she's way cheaper
what i do
Unfortunately the best method I can recommend is a low-end clear and even that you have to raise some ops for it. Here watch this #strategy message
the issue with your solution was overleveled ops. i solved that. you brought up a valid point that he tends to not borrow units. i countered by saying he changed his mind earlier due to the urgency of the event
whats your point
Win
You are severely underleveled I'm about to suggest you to come back next year for medals
im clueless man the artillery kills whatver i put
oh you stated challenge, i thought you already beat the NM
W Alt killed the boss
oh you did then
Your vangies are 1 block
You can last deploy a 1 block away from your main ops to bait
you bait the first boom with gravel and then just have a 3 block with more than 3k hp for bait, you’ll be ok 
Also bring Noir and Friston
Theyre 3 blocks to immediately bait
i kinda need the artillery to kill the tentacles no
3 block and 3k hp isnt in my roster
sash and saria both 2k
Slugs only take 90% DR
Just do 10x more damage while waiting
my sash died to slugs..:(
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
i see hoederer there 
once the boss dies it's essentially the same run
hoe is 2 block
And with slugs hes a 8 block
aight
hoe died to slugs faster than sash did
Ok, ok
bro he survived like 3 seconds
ty
who else do you have?
also the 3 block doesn't have to survive by having 3k+ hp
you can just bring trash
bring noir corne/cardigan/beagle/spot, plop them on slugs, let them stall, die, place a new one
they dont live long enough against the swarm of slugs thats the point
e1 hoe's definitely an issue, vasallo was probably thinking of a built hoederer
You solved nothing. His Logos is M1 and unmoduled. If your concern is only about Lv60 vs Lv90 thats nothing. My point is that your "criticism" is just your ego, the solution I provided did not ask him to borrow. You criticized, and then instead of providing a better solution, you gave worse smfh.
are you killing the cars? they make slugs inflict necrosis, that is adding extra pressure over your lane holders, not to mention they interrupt your sp skill gaining
and again ive done calcs on m1 vs m3
how am i supposed to kill the car that quick what 😭
i criticized and instead of defending yourself you attacked me
instead of "oh yeah, i didn't consider that" or "actually here's how i avoid that"
you said "no fuck you, make a better clear"
do you have humus at all?
wtf stop the argument
no
the slugs don't do that much physical damage
ines can’t kill? 
are your 3 star defenders built at all?
i see spot is e1 30 but what about the others
If it's moduled then your concern is invalid in the first place, because Lv60 vs Lv90 is nothing. My point still stand and your solution is still worse.
And you are expecting that when you came at me and said "hey fuck you, your solution does not work"
oh fuck the car do no damage
is this ideal city 
only spot
nein
and you dont read my messages after attacking me
Sorry I aint playing defensive game when you came at me all aggressive in the first place
dont blame me
the ones i sent are the levelled ones
btw you should silverash s2 for landholding, just will need someone to kill the enemies for him 
guys 
let me double check their atk with spot's defense
does he have trust?
no
There is like almost no way to say a clear is better than another
Its either you clear or u dont
mountain did manage to remove the car i think i got it now
-# silverash is sl2 because i dont have t1 mats
I aint boutta backread but the best we can do as helpers is give our respective clear suggestions and hope it works
at the same time you admit your clear has faults, faults you never addressed with my initial criticism, which only backs your very own words of "aint playing defensive game"
i only called you aggressive after you start cussing me out for the second time over a mere question
Comparing without a standard is fruitless
thats fine, you could always postpone story for a later time
is there a reason you're trying so hard to push forward in stages?
like a mat recipe?
that sounds good, more cars will spawn tho, fastredeploy are ideal against them like texalt or yatoalt, but since you clearly don’t have them, jaye can be a good option, he’s a pretty nice 4star
theres a second wave of cars
my main issue is the missile doesnt hit everything in the enemy spawn
i ran out of options to stall them
and mountain doesnt remove enemies quick enough in second wave
mod
11-6
ah
you can consider waiting until thursday for lappland's event
it'll come with another wave of LMD, EXP, books, yada yada
hmm yeah
you can probably get another e2 from it to help out
i come back with more e2s
will e2 mountain help
no
trying to beat the game through intended ways
fair point
you don’t want to borrow units? someone like kal, penance, mudrock could solo one side of the map for you
im guessing youre trying to get logos mod
yeah
actually why aren't you using logos s1? i feel like you mentioned it earlier but i dont' remember what you said about it
||i think you shouldn't use logos ||
probably just feels wrong to them
it is logos s1
i avoided borrowing units outside of S stages when i first started
left side has no problem
oh in the screenshot you had him set to s3 thats why
nvm
i got confused
to be fair with who he has now does he even have enough to solve the other half without logos 
i mean sash is sl2 and his tanks can't even stall slugs long enough to let cannon kill them
wait you have saria e1 50
does she not work?
but the problem is you’re rushing the stages, i don’t think that’s the intended way to play the game, you should take your time
am i rushing
a bit, yeah 

also getting logos mod will trivialize a lot of content
be me and finish IS2 bp before playing chapter 9+ (do not)
i cmoe back after i clearmall previous chapters then
if youre trying to challenge yourself you can honestly just not get it for now
yeah
honestly i'm not even joking, logos1 hurts you "learning and playing how intended" even more than some random ass support
yeah thats true, he just deletes half the map and ignores all the mechanics
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.
half of your team is not e2, you should focus and leveling those than getting a mod imo
@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?
how u still arguing vro its not that deep
both kinda
if you feel like its the first i'd honestly put off logos mod for later
i skipped like most stages with wis until like 9-16
and then realised how much i struggle
so just take that into consideration

what part
ako as usual
sash definitely wants his mod
ethan you can leave it for after you've built your DPS units
This is true but Ethan mod also mandatory for his use
probably e2 60 sash and mod him during lappy event
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
You got 12 squad slots
it's probably way way less of a boost for s1
especially in that specific chapter
i doubt he would need ethan stall for early game tho, but at least is cheap compared to 6star mods
assuming post ramp up ofc
always feel like im early on and dont need to take advantage of all 12 slots
that probably should server as a hint you need more dps
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
what about mountain e2
i'd skip mountain e2
saria?
which right now is sash > hoederer
oh i dont mean dont e2 them
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
i felt the same way when i first started
it is really good dps, you would be surprised, i don’t use s3 that much, mainly s1
tbh idt you need more dps than current "three" ones you have
who, logos sash hoe?
lemme just calc it actually
but i see severe lack of base workers
ill compare
hell yeah
my base isn’t even built
again, build your foundation first 
pluma for some trash
logos sa for rotating burst
some borrow if you need another
Fix that
going into modules for sa logos and going into ines and other utility would do more
sure, she might work sometimes
im just talking on experience, you know from someone that actually use him, it depends anyway, on what he’s facing and the timings of enemy spawn
she's really gated by defense spikes so she won't actually work vs bosses (but even then, i still counted her as one)
i use him as well 
i have him m6 mod3
and you doubt you were not rushing 
ah i missed pluma, good catch
i have him m9 mod3
no pots sadly
its highly recommended but doesnt directly affect your in game power
it does, your main resources to upgrade operators come from base
honestly not even that bad, she still does fine at 800 def
this is e2 80 mod0 without the s2 hp gate buff
add the s2 hp gate buff and she can arguably handle 1k def enemies
he wont leave me alone so mine's pot3 
more resources = build more ops = more in game power, no?
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
yeah building base rn
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
i mean bosses are a different question, she's not a boss killer after all
with mod, max stacks with some trash on standby, and hp gate active she probably could but thats situational
focus on that until... at least after lappy even't i'd say
ya, you just mentioned bosses here #strategy message so 
i dont actually have her myself so no i haven't used her on bosses
i agree that shes just for trash though, maybe elites at best
Ive only used Pluma S2 in a 1 to 10 ratio 
s1 instead i assume?
yeah the guy asked about pluma being burst damage dealer, so i assumed the question is about bosses (cause again, I mentioned mobs already)
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 
i just saw you mentioning def gates so i wanted to mention how surprisingly well she handles it
Yeah i dislike S2 durations
Most times its dead moment inbetween
raw dps is pointless, i agree, thats why my calcs scale with defense so you can visualize scenarios
enemies have 1k def? you'll see how much gaps close or even swap positions
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
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
i dislike pluma1 cause you get like, a bulky elite and she can't really do anything
ive never actually read her s1 hold on 
or you get like 3 guys in quick succession and she leaks
oh just a powerstrike
or you get any of the above + some need for her to tank a hit and she (almost) dies in a couple
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
s1 is lazy man's s2 
Dont get me wrong s1 is good but its like a win more skill than anything
Who should I put in for damage
I just want to build a squad that is absolutely overpowered
suzuran qiubai logos reed alter saria lappland alter combo would be very cool
wtfart giga combo
also what more damage do you want bro 😭
Thermobaric bomb
Unfortunately don't have
qiubai?
Do have
you can do the logos suzu saria qiubai combo shileds mentioned
replace texas
you dont need vanguards 
Man I want Ines
he can do the full combo once lapp2 drops 
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.
what does lappy do for the team again?
na, i think the combo sounds funny is all

i dont think it will ever be practical
cut slop like yato exec horn and vangtex
they are both slop 🥱
texas2 makes it look like a supposed art burst, so you wouldn't want to run buffless degen i would argue
Try to pull Ulpian or Yu as well. Also you need Mlynar.
yeah so wouldn't you replace both? 
Buffless degen?
Wait for time stop
if someone runs horn, i doubt they have 5 better ops than texas
oh you just value sexas > yat2 then
Or scale Ines for the next 8 months
honestly they're not my style so i've never looked into them, i just know a lot of people consider them roughly equal
is the goal buff army or being overpowered for normal content? (which it already is)
buff army was just brought up by shileds as a joke i believe
I believe he just want more flexibility in contents like IS
logos qb suzu ceobe are really strong arts core
then you can slap texas2 reed2 saria3
yes it was because what "more damage" are you needing 
well that's exactly what i suggested 
lapp2 instead of ceobe is the main difference
she's sub 40k total damage on 0 defense enemies without buffs, but scales fairly well with atk buffers (of which there are plenty)
actually instead of lapp2/ceobe what if schizo ifrit delta mod core
kinda griefs logos, and you already do a lot of res stripping i feel
oh right reed2 and sexas
so both ifrit aura and burn don't feel as impactful
yeah i forgot about that whoops
reed2 doesnt res strip?
reedic and sexas both do i think
sexas on s2 has -30%, i believe reedic is flat shred
Most content ended with deploying Wisadel so I don't have the chance to use the full squad actually
arts fragile if you count that to be the same thing
it isnt the same. i think he's talking about res strip specifically
afaik % based strip come in last?
im thinking of eyja fuck 
% is last iirc
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
2 flag and bagpipe?
late for this but add warfarin 90% atk stat boost
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
hmm i was going to say on degen but her skill recharge might cause dps issue
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
if it's just general content rolling machine, i agree with going for AH
Yeaaaa
wtfart top secret identity ak player
the vilest creature of them all
lowstep player!
that didn't even go 300 rolls deep so he doesn't have tuya
bro knows
If it's just for something like IS tho, you want a more balanced squad that would allow you respond to various situations thrown at you.
he's aware of the monster he became
This is what I run for general contents (primarily ISes). It's pretty balanced I could clear d15 stages with ease. It also works for events and whatnots except cc.
And I'm about to kick Ulpi out for Yu soon
Can <1 month old account clear GO-EX-8 CM ?
yeah just depends who you got ig. there's 2op clears of the CM
there's also low rarity guides out there that use support that abuse the arts equipment against steamknight
Hmm wait, can i get the medal on rerun ?
holy that's some stacked one month acc
Ah okay, nvm then. I will wait for rerun
you do want to clear ex8 cm for furni, since on rerun you get unique currency
yes but the thing is that there is a piece of furniture that is tied to go-ex-8 CM. and it gives intel certs on rerun
intel certs are very cool and you'd be missing out on some of them
I think i'm fine with that, i just want the medal 
Do you have a flag Vanguard
No
Only Gravel
Lemme think
Jaye still level 0
It's pretty tight but you can
i dont have one account that has all these units leveled so i cant try 
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
logos no mod tho so im not sure how well he'd do
Not necessarily solo carry, he has SilverAsh and friends to help him
The issue is DP
He needs a flag, and some FRDs to bait Alistair's attacks
tequilla can probably be used to tank alistair's attacks
with ptilo always healing him it should be fine i think
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
Good morning! IS5 expansion when?
should we tell them about all medals they can't obtain anymore so they drop ak
yes, let's do that
I care but, not now. I will beat him after my account gets stronger
You can beat the stage now but you need to raise a few 4 Stars for it. But then again event ends in like 5 hours so
Do we know if the next event will be harder ?
It's not even here, we dont know unless you specifically asking for CN player opinion in #help
Alright, thanks
You'll get a parrot when asking EN players about something not yet released in EN
Its not exactly a parrot when several guys have and play cn
Thats what I said
you'll love the event mechanic
Also is there a bug with Logos S1 and Tunnel ? It seems he instakilled a unit even after the unit moved to the other end
Yeah devs didnt update enemies' status when they walk through stairs
So the S1 debuff sticks
You can see in here #strategy message
His S1 sticks even when enemies walk to the bottom left
Yeah that's the exact same stage i saw it lol
Average logos dimensional arts

its just annoying
i dont like event mechanics
forced you to use it to dealt a good damage on enemy
or do the other strat
arturia

so ye always lit the fireworks
@tidal sedge
Paprika user !!
what a coincidence, i did the stage today aswell 
one of the most scuffed stages i have ever completed to date
the fuckers that explode and extinguish the furnaces are kinda annoying as hell actually
i had an actual setup but most of it died towards the end
woah welfare gamer
yep i play welfareknights 
it's just brute forcing but with weaker units for the most part
Bro I literally replied to you, did you even read #help message
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
i watched multiple simulations but a lot aren't working
idk if it's a discord issue but any videos on discord do not work for me
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
the thing is that i'm unable to open the videos you pinged
they do not start
yeah so i'm forced to search yt simulations which do not work unfortunately
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
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.
download them
but yeah it's funny
it's also inconsistent
sometimes my phone can play his vids
Issue is on my end I think, I have heard a lot of people cant play them
sometimes it can't
sometimes pc discord is the one refusing
i always get the sound though
i'd assume alistair yeeted bags on mlynar, collateral dmg on wis bcs she's right next to him
tried it but this mf laptop says i need to pay 1 euro to download some app to open it
vlc is free
@fresh jewel can you view them on your phone?
I heard Rain could play them on phone
no unfortunately
Well RIP
i think it's my discord that's bugged
your vids hates phones, doesn't work on mine
Okay RIP, it's definitely an issue on my end
it doesn't give me any other option other then buying a certain software/app. quite strange ngl
Anyway there is only like 40 mins left, there isnt enough time to handhold you through everything
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
where should i put my mlynar and ines in your opinion?
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
i use ng (my only healer) on him
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
is there any way to prevent it?
You tank it
Mlynar will take it like a champ and live
You just need to have him healed properly
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
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
She shouldnt
oh might be caused by the archer and the robot on the bottom lane
That is possible yeah
isn't it 3x3 
nvm, i remembered wrong
somehow my mlynar died after i blinked
the boss killed him uh
is ng not good enough for healing
It's a + shape yeah
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
Could argue that silence alter is actually used in her niche, the rest nearly never sees the light of the sun
also wtf theres Ho
so vigil
792 combined clear on three niche he is in
hellagur have over 1k

if we including niches
laptop sp talent doesn't work on Texas, oh wait she's from columbia. Still feels weird.
i have enough sanity but not enough time to max pot Catherine 
there's a reason he says least used and not worst 
normal mode looks like it could be easy i would imagine CM might take a bit
I almost forgot to farm today thankfully I remembered and got everything 
I got 1600 excess tokens
I get max pot first, then other stuff 
Spent them all on LMD
Ptilopsis maybe can
Aye that was my idea 
Lemme record it
She cant 
Shu-Civi-Mon they 100% can I'm sure
Owait hold on, I think 4 can, lemme try again
Yep no cant RIP
Shu-Civi doesnt work
Lemme try Skalter
Skalter 4 also cant
Sadge
But 5 she can @pure orchid
Mon3tr should cut it down to 4
warf 🤮
cloning an op infinite times on the same tile
How does that work
summon skill > stop skill > clone op > repeat
if you want 3 healer setup
skalter gav silence works
skalter has to pair with gav
cuz its the most efficient
My Gavial is in E1 jail, need her for making low-end clear for people
And I didnt raise Silence
Can you record it
Ancool
just do marcille + sp bat 🗣️
huh, gavial is the best third option?
we have marcille now smh
She is awesome for low-end tho
I usually prefer her over Susurro coz she is also tanky
In the Ya stalling, Gavial can keep the blocker alive
wait nvm it doesnt work 😂 i forgot this need sail s2
🤣
Bug fixed
When you stop skill, you cant clone anymore
sad
sorry for not keeping up with surtr hospital 🫡
well, i guess for not taking an interest in it
Ah Rain you got me hopeful for nothin 🤣
i assume she was the best from the start, or from the skalter at least
its hard to do too since it only lasts for like 3 frames
Lemme try again
can try IS3 instead
The moment I click stop
