as in 3 ops using the op that existed back then
and no module cuz it didnt exist too
i think
or maybe it existed but before mod upgrades
could always do better cuz limit are imaginations 
yeah, im just worried about whether swire would be on the chopping block if the strat was improved
its fine anyway
5* cats definitely isn't meeting the general 5* record anw
that's certainly better than no swire
cuz if we doing optimization the strat is going to be very different
the core of my issues with her is that i just want any reason to use her without banning nearly every other op in the game without feeling like im actively shooting myself in the foot
with 5* cats?
ye
Just have the want
Emotions transcends logic most of the time
Its why people do nicheknights 
cliffheart stuns from afar
you just interrupt the hell of pat phase 1
and bro is stuck in 1 tile
why is 6-7 so much easier than 6-4 ???
Want to play without 6*s.
Want to build ammo based Laterano clownfest (3 6*s)
HELP 
I mean 6-5
yeah, i just dont like feeling like im intentionally gimping myself
When H12-4 still deemed as hardest by most
using a niche means limiting the variety of ops i can use
hardest stage by tryhard is quite diff to hardest stage by most peeps
most ppl feel h134 is harder
well not most
but a good chunk
but try hard would say h134 is while a technical map, cheesable that turns it p ez
doesnt help that that stage is pretty long too
longer stage is more mistake prone it gets
ok why is it NOW teaching me about frost and cold when I already faced its drone earlier ???
good game design, duh
the drone doesn't inflict either
bruh... should have been there earlier
"frost" the drone is different from frost the status effect
its not the drone that slows aspd
the tutorial is for caster first p sure
ok... why can the enemy ice mage freeze our Ops... but Lin cant freeze them ??? what is this heresy ???
she uses glass, not ice
wait tf ??? those are glass ???
her shield is made of GLASS ???
Her family controls sand or something and glass is melted sand 
ok Chen is right... she is a dumb rat
I guess you can say: Lin is indeed a GLASS CANNON btsmmm HAHAHAHA
it's kinda funny that she's one of the tankier ops despite glass not exactly being known for its durability though
ehhh if her shield gets penetrated she explodes
idt she is using those plexi bulletproof glass
"glass cannon" except she does little damage and tanks quite a few absurd things
yeah, but that's not just glass, right?
also cough borosilicate
glass never been "just" glass
really ??? for me she hits like a truck but cant take hits herself... atleast from my POV
glass always been mix of shit
ok... but why not concrete ??? thats WAY BETTER
if we're talking gameplay, lin does Not "hit like a truck"
huh, neat
I want to see Lin yeet a block of concrete at the enemy
well atleast for my team she hits like a truck
i was thinking more of stuff like bulletproof glass that's made without sand at all afaik
you said you used wis'adel
a lot of time its just me trying to get get enough DP just get deploy her in order to kill smth
that's what it means to hit like a truck
she hits pretty hard in my experience
I dont always use her... just finished 6-7 with ease
maybe not "like a truck" hard, but she can take out elites just fine
especially with a few fodder enemies to boost her damage
you're thinking of glass as in related to purely sand (silica)
atleast for my squad she "hits like a truck" maybe not yours... but definetly for my team
she made taking out the supply drones in the last event a lot easier
no my standards are just generally higher
but glass is more like state of matter
but seriously why glass ??? her family could have used sand to make concrete... which makes more money and is better overall
if you're talking "hits like a truck" ops you'd look at ray or wis or sth
Might need help
uhhh did FrostNova ruined your map ???
yeah but glass is cooler
no nowdays is concrete
and I have sauce but it might be off topic
just gonna dm you privetly if you want the source that concrete is more profitable
no... its because it usese sand.. but a "special" sand
not your typical one
well one has lin using it and the other doesnt
so im pretty sure glass is better here
What's the final boss gimmick for IS4
as in getting to them?
uhh idk Im new
lets answer Dr finn question first
ed1?
Yea first ending
all those tiles that look covered are blocked, you need to destroy the roots to free them
wtf late game enemy can teleport ???
I'm fighting the big ass boss
"lategame" i mean. wait a couple chapters ig
ED1 is Big Sad Lock but with lots of ground ice to break
what ??? why cant my unit destroy FrostNova spikes then ???
crownslayer can teleport
Big Sad piece of shit is ED2
breaking her stuff would be rude
Minecraft lied??
this game has a million mechanics lol
because different boss mechanic
uh
don't bother comparing them
oh... so I guess crownslayer got the unfortunate "playable boss" treatment

degen was boss
please remember to pay your crownslayer
degenbrecher
oh wait she was a antagonist ???
even if you look lower there's dorothy
fuck tonna bosses who're decent as playable ops
yeah thats why I said antagonist not villain
crownslayer just got fucked bc it'd be funny or sth
yes
or anti-hero
Not all tiles
it's my greatest regret
thats basically what happend to me in chapter 3 and everyone tells me to "just deploy behind her"
Plausible with these artifacts?
wat ??? a TD game that allows you to use items ??? IMPOSSIBLE
you're playing diff 0, your ops matter more
it's the roguelike mode
myon you literally have not seen how many mechanics this game can throw at you
chill lol
I was being sarcastic lol... but then again I would say Arknights is more than just a "TD" game compare to PvZ or BTD
Its a music game so true
what "tower defense"
like with this many mechanics its way more harder and complicated than PvZ and BTD
it's a tower offense game if you know what you're doing
and yet people are telling me its easier than PvZ or BTD ???
the only tower is me when i look at british cats
That is true, I should be able to do it if I'm smart about it
and that's when it's trying not to cosplay as 10 other genres
it's pretty easy once you get a few e2 6* nuke ops
Gambling genre
yeah but I dont have them...
Not just the gacha aspect
A month or two should be fine
whats next ?? open world tower defense for Arknights ???
Does RA count
isnt that the sequel or something?
ive never really cared about it so im not really sure
RA ???
reclamation algorithm
oh
the one where you farm rice and lumber for 200 days
curse of RA
I played RA for a bit and then proceed to ignore it
Too much of a hassle to juggle between ops and resources
i was pretty fond of RA1
i like RA2 enough but i cant really interact with the base building at all since the cost to craft anything is so prohibitively high
AYO ??? WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE
i do wish it wasnt prone to crashing somewhat regularly though
holy shit, it's swire


for the record, im pretty sure this is more of a help channel than a liveposting channel
Yea, we need help for levels
But yea, for the Sam final boss, just make sure to have enough heals?
yeah, more or less
having someone that can clear the ice decently well is pretty nice too
Narantuya should do yea?
yeah, probably
ok... can someone tell me how many types of kamikaze spiders are there ???
getting to the boss with reed alter is always pretty fun
2 i think?
in the main story anyways
not including stronger variants
lappland stops them from exploding, for the record
3 in main story
More in general
was it 3?
it's just exploding and ice spiders, right?
plus the stronger exploding spider, if that's what you mean
Ch14 originium spiders
oh, right
WTF ??? how come a shy girl summon spiders ???
Who said anything about her summoning 
they're technically not spiders
Jessica is a Aussie confirmed ???
Wtf are u yapping now
Yea but they do go boom
and are stronger than the normal spiders
ok who are "icecleavers" and whats best to counter them ???
there's a whole lot of enemies if you broaden it to non-arachnid things too
dont freeze
They do basicaly nothing if they arent attacking a frozen target
is there any ops thats like resistent to freezing ???
blaze should have status resistance after she sits still for a while, but i wouldnt recommend her
Well, theres one, but hes pretty shit
i could have sworn there's at least 1 defender with status resistance
who is it tho ?
also is there any fire type Ops that can melt ??? or there is no melting ingame ???
just use a strong defender and medic if you have to tank them
therapist medics have ways to give ops status resistance
it halves the length of freeze
I just realized is there no Ops that uses a flamethrower or smth ??? no fire type Ops ??? no melting ?
No
you can literally see the fuel tanks on her back
like other TD games ???
for fire?
Technicaly speaking it doesnt do that
It increases the speed at ehich the effect is up ๐ค
there are slow supporters like orchid
damn, guess my opinion is invalid then...
yeah... most TD games fire have the effect of burning over time or slowing enemies down.. both PvZ and BTD have that
oooo I need her... TO ROAST FROSTNOVA ALIVE
fire also have effects
:noway: different games dont work the samr
How insane is that
I think in BTD 4 there was a flamethower tower that slows enemy

the Burn elemental status effect doesnt have a DoT technically, but it does some damage when it activates
does Arknights have Ops that deal DoT ???
lots
No
lots
wait thats not bleed ??? (I play too many JRPG I just use those terms on any games)
like thorns, blue poison, and delphine
lappland doesnt have any kind of bleed-like effects in her kit
Ethan
oh I thought the cross markings when lappa hits someone is bleed
you're giving me necrosis with the fact that you remembered aosta exists
the medic ???
silence turns off enemy abilities sometimes
The effect
what times?
who knows
it turns off exploding spiders though
both exploding and ice spiders
WHAT ???
....
is that E2 skill ???
WTF I dont see her doing shit against explosives
Hes in the curret sp stage
So
e1 is like 80% uptime or something
deadass just read your operator kits
Start reading
wtf who gave me Temu Silence that doesnt defuse bombs ???
Youre not funny
This is also one of the reason ppl suggesting picking lappland in the *5 pick ticket
its not me reading... she doesnt do it
sp stage?
You would know why if u read
Yea, when u do pv10 theres 3 extra special stages at the end
oh, ok
Where u protect the fireworks
most of the time is either Chen or Blaze killing the spiders fast enough before they arm
E1 P1 Lapp is slightly scuffed for silencing purposes
im still working on doing PV-10 so i didnt know about those yet
but I dont see Silence defusing any IED spiders
simply kill the enemy while they're silenced
silence alter defuses them with her friends' faces
she also has a alter ???
a free one from one of the events
Sipence the effect ffs
Not the operator
you sure are easy to surprise
and I just have to miss it ???
it's permanent
it's not?
the record restoration releases in like 8 months
You have a second at E1
Many ops take more than 1s to attack including Lapp
well I was told Arknights is just a "TD" game... so I didnt expect it to be so different
it is permanent but saying it's permanent implies that he can even get her rn
its td just because its the closest thing
silence alter was the free op in lone trail, wasnt she?
but honestly it doesnt feel td
like this is not even close to PvZ or BTD... like this is almost a whole seperate genre
i always think of it as more of realtime tile rpg
simply kill them during that one second, duh
just perfectly time your team's attacks to never land off of silence
Generalizing games are bad
Generalizing Arknights operators is potentially war crime
it feels more like the older games of Final Fantasy
p much ye
what lvl yall logos atleast to pv 10? I kept dying despite being in e2 ๐ญ
oh, you have to wait for that to get the old free ops?
yeah so I wouldnt call it a TD game... just a RPG game with tiles and such
ive gotten them all the first time so i didnt actually know
are you dying in phase 1 or 2?
see this game is hard right ???
If u cant think sure
yeah, it's hard when you dont have top tier 6*s leveled up
No
real easy if you do
p1, tho theres a chance it survives sometimes lol
most of the time it's really not very hard, but there are still occasionally pretty brutal stages
yea stuck in pv 10 lmao gdi
WHY IS THE ENEMY CAMPING AT OUR SPAWN AGAIN ???
im mostly following ecko's guide but to no luck, im thinking it has to do with my logos's lvl
after an event's rerun happens, the welfare in that event gets their record restoration about a year later. Lone trail rerun began Nov 21, 2024. so in November of this year you can expect to get yourself silence2. the event stages in are permanent and you can access them right now. silence2 will be permanently available for free after her record restoration drops
fuk campers in EVERY GENRE GAMES
Something something entire gane has been beaten by 4* only
just because it can be done doesnt mean it's easy
Payback for spawn camping in BTD
oh speaking of which which Ops are free to get permanently ???
skill issue, sure, but most of us arent kyostinv
wdym we dont spawn camp in BTD
I'm kinda stuck on PV 10 due to 2nd phase mostly
Mainly due to my ops dying too fast, either too near to the fireworks or Lappdumb nuking

dont forget that she hits two different targets
Whats the easiest Way to beat Kaz Falls emerg in Is5? What operator should i use?
Of course she has silence
with her normal attacks
You dont? 
I always prefered hitting bloons early than letting them untouched
operators available from events that have record restoration, the is welfare ops, the story free ops, the archives special operations ops.
some ops like ethan and such you can get from the red cert store aswell for relatively cheap
the 3 credit store operators aswell
Spikefactoryless behaviour
there's also conviction u-official and savage
Btw, how does boss Laptop's shield work? I know it goes away after a short competition, but for how long exactly?
wiki says 20 seconds
Damn, 10 seconds in 2x
Not long enough because i uninstall boss with buffed Kroos alter S2 
necrosis works just fine through it though
True damage lmao
that too
Idk she just exploded
kaltsit will probably melt her pretty fast in phase 2
Dawg. Play ranged operator more. The stage obviously favor ranged
The issue is that she teleports in phase 2
Like this #strategy message
But seriously, when you see Kaz Falls it's better to just avoid it like a plague
I guess just time it
yeah, but she sticks around for a little while so there's no rush with good dps
ok good
she sticks around for 200 seconds apparently, so you shouldnt go slow, but that should still be plenty
for the record, phase 1 lasts forever so there's no rush
So just clear the goons first got it
Its infinite during carnevale
Yea I know, kill the main goons first
you should end up killing the first wave during the first carnevale anyways
where is record restoration ???
isnt story Ops mostly Amiya ???
most intermezzi and side stories have record restoration
ohh
After event been 2 years old they get restoration allowing to obtain free operator for people who missed original run and rerun 1 year later
no you also got a bunch of ops as story rewards in later chapters
oh
awww wish Bagpipe was free for chapter 9

WTF ???
Midpipe imagine
stfu then you dont deserve any maidens irl
SCOTLAND FOREEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I guess it is best time to say it is not Diablo 2 so cold is not elemental but status effect 
unintentional friendly fire ???
Intentional more like
Can u start reading what your ops do?
Lappland turns off spiders explosion ability
Why is she in the back doing fuck all
Youre making it harder yourself and then complaining that the stages are difficult
u got lappland but ur not abusing her
shes recommended exactly for this moment
always make sure lapp is hitting spiders
you gtta change your setup
Lowk this is why i just dont talk ๐ฅน
What
Not to u
That's little ass to deal with not pro players by my low af standards
If ur confused
Im sorry this sentence does not make sense
To me at all
๐ฅน
they've been popping in and out for a little while now
Its a crazy fkn combination that i just dont know how to deal with
What did that mean
I know getting mad is toxic and fruitless but like
i dont use the channel regularly so idk how long they've been asking for help here
5 years
that one guy who refuse to pull in any banner then complain about game being hard

Honestly - skill issue. We have welfare players 
well, it was 5 years ago
Skill issue 5 years ago... Was Patriot stage even out? 
welfare back then is like non existence
nope
I dislike that type the most. Constant complaining, rejecting all ideas given to them. Just few days ago I had to deal with one.
The cycle is that they
complain about something
we give a solution
it doesnt work so they get mad and antagonize us
we tell them the execution is poor
they blame our solution being bad
and then repeat the last 2
like if only they were more open to suggestions, less full of themselves, and admit that btd exp doesnt hold shit in ak cus its similar in like just 2 ways and different in a lot more ways than you can count
And last year Ancool had to deal with an extraordinary one
Cup full type shit
Ign was brute force enjoyer
theyre still around btw, just less often
It was peak entertainment seeing Ancool got frustrated
Its why i went less teaching route and more copy this route
If they learn something cool
If not they finished the map
Im too lazy to open the game to make something to copy so im stuck teaching 
I'm playing AK for so long it is hard for me to give good starter tips because my mindset reject easily abuseable meta ftw and i have 60+ niche operators i will shill on random periods of game 
Teaching is better than feeding. You feed a man one meal, he eats once. You teach him how to cook, he eats for life.
i just taught someone how to splitbox yesterday 
They were tryna make an pv-8 auto
was fun
I spoonfeed too but like, if I can pass the ideas so that someone would learn, I'd just do that
its fish bro, not cook ๐ญ
I just think of it as my own brain exercise
bruh its because she have range so I can make room for Ops that doesnt have range
and incase of incoming flying enemies
since she can also hit air targets
Since i get to try a new possible strat with shitty E0 1 ops
so she is good for last line of defense since I have no idea what enemies Im facing
You will know if stage has flying enemies after you leak one. Before it no reason to play as if every stage gonna force one on you
i mean you are right she has range
U can place her where saria is
but then you block top side
silence has range yet you put her close to explosion

ik but retrying is quite heck a lot of work in this game since it has no retry button
whar
they give u practice plans
at worst u lose one sanity
its like 2 clicks to retry
??
back in my day, we didnt even have lot of option
its because the UI sucked... you have to press so much buttons to get out of it and then press more to get back in
4 or 5 actually
not wrong
since you have to go back in
Back when losing CM is half sanity loss
they should just add restart button
Gameplay is basically trial and error. You dont wanna try and only get spoonfed, Arknights is not for you.
I LOST SO FUCKING MUCH ON NL-EX-8 AND NL-S-4
restart button is just one button... this game for a whole retry... you have to press 2 times to get out... then two more times to get back in... see how its a pain in the ass ???
its a bad mechanic that punishes trial and error and rewards copying
back in the day there is a restart button for nearly every game
Oh no, 4 presses
theres nothing htey lose by making failed attempt cost nothing
I'll die
imagine if your game crashes when you trying to fukin restart
๐
they waste their effort making the practice plan mechanic
You should have played this game 4 years ago when you had to MANUALLY INPUT EXP TICKETS WHEN LEVELING. AND THERE WAS HARD LIMIT ON 40 TICKETS AT ONCE 
U really like to complain about everything and anything
bruh which game doesnt have a restart button ??? thats like the most basic game design... how is that complaining ???
No hurt more than crash on winnable gardener
Also game added Retry button for some content but only one which consumes 0 sanity, so you don't waste your energy
Consider it the "walk of shame" from dying, respawning at a checkpoint, and going back to where you died to try again
It's a necessary evil to be a minor annoyance to people who would spend the entire day playing if there wasn't anything to stop them, even if minor
theyre awfully slow for qol
so lets give you a phone or PC that doesnt have a restart button... would you complain ???
its so basic
this is just bad design tho
if you want to promote trial and error
Can't give long desired QoL for hype if one design everything right 
Gardener win is a given. Sentinel! ๐คค
wont mind manually resetting in the ui
how to get better
Practice plan was cool back then
if i dont play a lot of times
Play and think!
You need to win gardener before sentinel ๐คซ
Practice auto deploy abuse 
does adding restart button stops that? id argue it helps better
idk why you guys defending this kind of laack of qol 
room temperature iq discussion
Im adamant on my stance but i do admit that it does kill the spirit of experimentation
Sometimes i wish theyd make a compromise where they have a retry button but only in practice
IS5 but all f4 nodes are emergency epochal gaps

cool to have
but not a thing to blame for your own loss
God blessing ever 6fl boss are gardener ๐ผ
watch and analyze is4 d15 triple ending runs
they are literally asking if PC or phones should have restart feature lmao
so
literally a simple restart is what allows you to learn... nearly every good games have it
Well if it helps elucidate, it helps with my lack of self-control
If given enough time, i.e. if i wasnt so busy, id probably waste my time playing all day
i mean i dont particularly mind is stuff
like sure thats the gamemode
but like
normal stage
Emergency Epochal Gaps is easy, try Emergency Illusive Merc ๐คค
im just referring to general stages
There are people like me
Call it skill issue or smth but its smth i really do have trouble with
You lose some sanity each time you fail stage after first. You asking for uncontrolable way to waste sanity because unless you count in head it wont display how much you have left 
look at all the good games: Halo, classic COD, classic Battlefield, Minecraft, Smash Bro... what do they have ?? a FUKIN RESTART BUTTON.. hell Halo even lets you jump back in immediently...
and they were in the 2000s... even the 1990s
all games ive seen has restart it just basic 
idk why u are trying to imply its impossible to learn without the restart button
sure its cool to have but without it its still 5 extra clicks only
its not a thing to blame on when u cant beat a stage
back in my day my ass
Halo has restart button? Or we now coutn every single quick save/load shooter just to nitpick on gacha?
his ppoint is less about 5 clicks (it is too) but also it takes forever to restart
awfully noticable on mobile
its much quicker to learn and easier if it have a restart button... and doesnt stress your memory
if ur phone isnt the best
it can take 1 minute per reset
consider thats possibly average player
lol im pretty sure you have to go through a menu with a couple of buttons to restart in those games
exactly... and you have to "LOAD" in and out... so imagine your game crashing
You should stop using 12 summoners: 
lol nope... hell Halo you dont even need to press ANYTHING
it just overall bad qol
and thats in 2001
why would this be a discussion in strategy go submit a complaint or something whining about the game in here helps jackshit
Even so, those games dont even need to have supplementary buttons to annoy you, just the loading time from reloading your save is enough to annoy you
now again its not an excuse
it was already submitted a lot of time... Arknights just have slow QoL
I wasnt the first one
Whatever then say halo but not cod bf minecraft smash bro etc
In Halo you lose only time between being alive and not. In Arknights you consume energy which is time gated resource
but again read up . all he said is
ik but retrying is quite heck a lot of work in this game since it has no retry button
Minecraft is just 1 button.. COD is sometimes also 0... Battlefield is 2
i feel like you guys are just going on him because of his previous behaviors
like just chill out
Not even
exactly... thats why I dont use practice mode since you have to load in and out again
I just like the way we restart as is

Crying here wont help anyway, its just something that is, and all u can do is accept it
i mean sure you like it
We cant di anything at the end if the day, can we
Why he compares shooters where you lose nothing to game where you lose something on restart. Someone point him to battle cats where you lose 100% of stage cost on defeat
everyone is different
You complaining here for what purpose? None of us are developers, send your complaints to yostar or hypergryph, flood their cs
Not this channel
Agree to disagree yeah
Arf have enough ๐ญ
still valid
hes trying to justify his in game placement with the argument of โretrying takes a lot of timeโ and regardless if thats true his placement is still shit
dude your the first one to bash on me... also I was asking for help and get surprised... not to mention its "claimed" to be a TD game when it clearly isnt and its more like a RPG game
read up what happened
he said that and then somehow its like everyone has ! above their head
and chime in
Too long, I may ended blogging
and your the one thats complaining when Im asking for help... then whats even the purpose of the help or strategy section ???
ok
and those who arent helping should just leave
ask for help and get surprized
And this conga line of discussion looped back to that one asshole who went over agressive instead explaining how he should have utilized Lapp because he clearly was unaware of silence application against freeze spiders
well now he know
Because you were helped tens of times but you complain because "it doesnt work for me"?
Like that sk2 thing in #help
thats all that matters
When it cleary does work for everyone who showed u
i explained it to him earlier, for what it's worth
he didnt knew beforeh e posted the pic no
Causing chaos even irl, truly the wild wolf
and ye you did explain
because I was confused when I tried it...
but he was backreading
We told him what silence is when it came to DoT ops
Since he thought the silence icon is bleed or something
So he knew
Yall got this, ima cook rice 
no because I assume your talking about the Character Silence... that medic owl
Well, at least knew what silence is
I did state twice
Silence the effect
Not operator
Bro thats literally complaining, unless you calling "retry button" discussion a theorycrafting to solve a stage, it's still off-topic. I mean idm if it's one or two mild mentions but if the entire discussion is about this, it's not right
Cook some extra for me๐ฅน
i explained what record restoration was and he proceeded to ask what it was again like 10 messages after
it wasnt supposed to be full discussion
it was just a mild mention
thats why I got confused because we were talking about where I should place my medics earlier
well, you know now, right?
bruh... they told me "why dont you use the practice feature" and I just told them why and needed to explain to them... not complaining
ik it was misinterpritation... but wtf I wasnt even complaining first and you guys bashed me
And I was reprimanded just because of mild mention from the 6th anni ytd, that was even milder. It's the rule I think it's only fair for everyone to follow
its generally not recommended to place all your shit at the back
if u really dont want to lose u can watch a guide or have someone to spoil the entire thing for u (which could take more time if you really really care about it)
the game has no retry button and it will probably stay that way if u dont like it try the method above or just stop playing
complaining will not help anything
i just want to make sure the misunderstanding was cleared up now
it literally went "where should I place my medics" to "best way to counter icecleaver and freeze effect" and then you guys ask why not practice.. which I had to explain
yeah, watching some clear of a mission is a nice way to figure out what happens in a stage if you dont want to try it yourself
ik but wtf Fredi ??? can I report him ???
Lets drop it and move on
I never said anything about practice
i wasnt here for the start of the current discussion but i personally like using practice tickets a lot
I said to make a better use of lappland
Dince she fixes ur freeze spider issue
And youre grouping your ops too much
before that you were bashing me... accuse me of complaining when it was misinterpretation
Can we fix it? 
Somaoe will have better effect
just keep in mind that at e1, the silence is not always active
I did that so the medics can cover all the Ops
grouping not too big of a problem
its mainly lappland position
should help
lessen the burden enough
I beat it anyway without support... by moving the Ops more front

as far as this picture goes, silence the medic should really be moved back behind chen and you can move lin where silence is right now
or moving the other ops forward, that works too
and having Greythroat and lappland out of the blast range for the kill
basically, you just dont want your ranged ops completely exposed to enemy attacks most of the time
oh I eventually did that... its because before hand I thought that block was not allowed to put units
Is silence not e1?
it is but not as massive as Mulberry... and since I wanna spread them out to avoid freeze blast she was gonna get outranged
so Silence still had to be closer
I meant e1 so u can use her s2
silence's skill 2 gives her a drone that can be put anywhere on the map
His silence is e1 50
ik and she is on S2... but that drone last only 10 seconds and the ice cleaver takes massive dmg... not to mention you cant put it on certain areas
Also silence could've been one row above gt and it'll be fine
oh incase you dont know
icecleaver deals extra dmg to frozen enemy
thats why u want to avoid getting ur unit frozen
tbf, that 10 seconds is usually all you need
errr Im not really buying that (not complaining about you) but even when deployed first my medics for some reason still gets targeted first
that's because they're the only ones in range
^
no even on the previous map I posted above... the medic was behind the VG and the medic was the first to get hit by
was it 6-7 ??? idk I did posted earlier
they hit 2 enemies right
caster hits 2
Iirc yes
wait
get gravel
not these guys
The white caster with hand guard hit 2 enemies 
these guys only hit one
ice mages ???
Its the nkrmal casters that hit two
No, ice mage hit 1
And do special freeze on 3rd hit
interesting enough I never realize they actually hit 2 targets
id have to see a picture of what you did to see why the medic got hit
they dont, it's a misunderstanding
oh ok
I did posted up but imma have to find it.. either way now I have a bigger problem
Not these ones
The earlier ones with armor on their hands
how do you deal with camping mages
ik ik
this one the actually few hard stage 
these guys?
wisadel obviously
The elite version, red ones
iirc
Its been too long
๐ฅน
ah, here we go
You could deploy someone who does decent damage to them followed right away with someone to stall their attention. Gravel skill 2 is goat
i didnt realize the elite version would have a unique effect like that
Elite for a reason :ya:
oh ??? for me it just feels like they usually deal more dmg than normal mages rather than hitting twice but now I know
how many enemies get new effects when they're elite?
Isnโt it the yeti squad casters and not spec op
i cant think of any, but idk how many i assumed were the same that were actually different
it is attack 2 targets meaning 2 last deployed operators in range in danger. There are separate thing for attacking twice but it is rare
it's rare thing for elite version of enemies doing other thing beside just having more stats
I thought the spec ops are in the yeti squad
yeah, i was just wondering what caster they were talking about
along with ice cleavers
Texas or yato are good for this stage
the yeti themselves are spec ops i think
but that's lore stuff
Well, they do
but anyways thats also the issue with my VG... since they are usually the first to go in most arent tanky enough to take on camping mages
Elites have increased stats
Yeti squad are frostnova team name 
the idea is that you kill spiders early
and then setup middle
and then slowly kills left and right caster
slowly kill spiders 1 by 1
also why doesnt it show their range stats ??? like I keep on mixing it up is their range 3 tiles or 4 ???
thats how I always felt in this game lmao
wait they can go 0.2 ??? that exist ingame ???
i think the actual reason is because they like to change the stats to whatever they want
Remember when CC would not display enemy info card before you beat stage? 
it's not a tile range, it's just an amount of distance equal to a tile
everything is circle based. tile is just for simplicity
yeah
oh icc
This game real range was circular
not square as it looks
Its circle
just do r0 smh ezpz
Everything is a circle
๐ฅน
2.2 range is 4.4 tile diameter circle with the enemy as the center
"Just do R0" - CC in question: Who is real 
anyways, they dont want to bother editing the stats every time they reuse an enemy and give them massive buffs so they just use incredibly vague letters
I like how in lore there are so many informants that gives characters intel... yet in gameplay we recieved none lol
except for when they dont because the enemies in that stage all have +3000 hp, def, and atk
Those usualy get stat modifier mentioned on the stage description
And shit like that
yeah, it's not reflected in the actual stat page though, which is what i mean
sometimes
ok it seems like I actually need support in 6-11... so far in chapter 6 I only 2 times I need support the difficulty spikes are so werid
We used to get even less info. Like today you can see "attack speed, movement speed, weight, hp seals consumed on leak". Used to be data mine only information 
who is usually best against camping mages ? (besides Blaze... the only one I have that can actually take care of 1 campers)
what the fuck is a silenceable ability?
ideally, fast redeploy ops that can do damage
abilities that can be silenced 
without them you have to get creative
try borrow yato s2. make short work
is crownslayer actually useful on it ???
if raised
yeah, probably?
once you get her to e1 max or whatever
in something like this, you either want to kill them from far away or use two ops to kill them
one placed first to attack them then a second one placed after to distract them
Does Chen s2 not kill
dont think she kills evne at max
Year0 op problems :ya:
people when they dont know that swordmastwr 2 hits normal attack only restore 1 SP
ok sorry I just have to do this W is way too OP
but interestingly enough the ice mages can also freeze spikes ??? they count as objects ??? (where Silence drones doesnt count as a object but somehow takes up a tile slot)
They count as summons
I think he refers to time when we had NO symbol for it being silenceable in enemy info so we have exploding spiders we can silence, freeze spiders we can silence, and exploding TW dudes who we can't silence - get fucked
anything that can be attacked can freeze
tbf, a ton of 6* ops lack significant chunks of their kit at e1
Succumbing to W brainrot 
it's hardly unique to year 1 ops
its all "units"
I mean how else I can beat the campers man ???
While silence drone is..uh, something else
yeah, silence's drone is a special thing
they call em "tokens" iirc
token
kroos + gravel
is in game name iirc
silence drone takes up a tile slot but doesnt get targetted... interesting...
thankfully, now we get symbols for most silenceable abilities
Have some of you managed to beat PV 8?
if they remember to add it
I mean u gotta do what u gotta do but... using her makes you learn less
everything placed takes a tile, what do you even mean
most should have
there just so much mechanics yet also so much exceptions
Most yea
Yeah its part of the game
Overwhelming at first then u get used to it later (or not
)
good news is that so far in chapter 6 its the least amount I have used supporst so far
need some help?
Wait till ch7
like chapter 5 I need to use W for like 3/4 of it

Welcome to basically Arknights. Everything has exception. Probably even my statement about exceptions has exception 
I need some help. I have been using S1 Horn and gummy at start but dealing with it is bit hard
Yeah
arknights isnt the most tightly knit game in terms of mechanics
Erm
what are your ops? you can send screenshot
what's the problem, the normal enemies or the trucks?
what
Trucks
I have lappland but I donโt know where to put it
do you happen to have elemental supporters?
Nope?
or kaltsit
No
nevermind then
Virtuousa s3 can handle cars easily, you just need block them In the middle 
use lappland if she's e1, at the left turn to blue box facing down
Cars have 90% dr btw
So
most stuff wont do much outside of carneval
Arturia is the best
Uh... It is sort of is. But it balances it by making problem being same mechanic for 10 stages in row instead mixing 5 mechanics at once then 5 other mechanics next stage 
One of the better options rather
If only i offrate art instead of texalter :reallymad:
either abuse the event mechanic or use elemental damage
L bozo
L bozo
L bozo
the slow fireworks are really helpful on this stage
Dont make me pull out the fact that its just 26 pulls you bozos
Die
you can slow down the trucks before they reach the fireworks and you can pump a lot of damage into them

By Arturia do you mean virtousa
yeah, same person
Ofc its her namw
arturia giallo
Slow firework + chain caster + Indigo. Simon says HALT
damn, really?
the burn fireworks seemed pretty useless in my experience
Don't edit it
It's looks so fake now
Well burn fireworks can replace lack of dps 
Ill resend it
Real name arturia code name virtuosa
-# last name same with mine
There we go
Fireworks have 500 atk, so need 4 explpsions to proc burn
8 with the cars since they are elite iorc
Delusions are part of schizo
i personally used a e1 santalla on one of the ranged trucks and that went great
so a lot of solid casters should work well too
Is ines still the best vanguard
2000 is boss only I think. So still 4
Wasnt both boss and elites 2000?
she never was
she doesnt have a super fluffy tail like flametail
Thats why she got the elites dmg in her module trait

Ingrid fluffy ears beat that
L ft
Ines so good everyone else is just fighting for 2nd place ๐ญ
anyways, it's hard to say what exactly you should use without seeing what you have, but waiting for the carnevale then dumping damage onto the trucks is the basic strategy
block the melee trucks outside of the carnevale
No? Top1 is pot6 ines
Top2 is pot5 ines..
And so it goes

Borrow virt s3 and spam 3 blocker
clearly, the two of them need to have another daughter so we have the best of both worlds
Ft has fluffier tail, vulpi has fluffier ears
I see ears more so i know who wins for me
sorry, but im already taken by my waifu
really
Sorry hubby
This sucks wtf
Yoire a participant
sneakos
You are the one who brings ruin to this family

arturia S1 when she sees an enemy with no necrosis:
Here
Itโs not much but decent enough
Er next time can we sort by rarity 
@candid grove
Honestly all your 6*s are good except vivi and cs
You can build them without worrying
lava alter mentioned!!!
vivi is fiiine i'd build her too 
tbf, vivi is a perfectly good arts guard
e2 proviso for base please
definitely a good option for when you need to fight elites and stuff
a lot of base slaves arent e1 too, gotta work on those
I havent tried vivi but i wouldnt shill before her delta at least
Been busy with events
And like if ever, she's the last thing they should build
Lots of options u dont have to cope for here
on a side note, id set amiya's standard skill to her s2
if you're gonna use her, her s2 is significantly better than her s1
uhhhhh
Dammit, I forgot whole true damage thing
she's definitely not the last thing i would build but he does in fact have a lot of really good units
i'd disagree
true damage is s3
all of casterymiya's skills are ass 
S2 does get better than S1 with investment, but until E2 S2M3 or sth it's kinda ass
from a quick look at your leveled up casters, amiya and click should be enough to deal with the ranged trucks
just e2 should be fine to fix the major issues
that being the massive sp requirement
NOPE I WILL SHILL AMIYA S3 FOR LAPPBOSS
that e1 ifrit should burn the cars nicely when they come for the fireworks
Guys are you ready to see me pull lappalt with my free pull later
oh he has a max e2 amiya damn
it's certainly not the worst option for something like this
wishing you the best on your singular pull
i mean since S1 also gains insane uptime with the talent you want to cut a lot out of S2's downtime
yeah, but the damage you get from that uptime is kinda shit
