After all, they are still human

[scarlet mortar]

[brisk surge]

I blame qyurii for not pulling

[grand iron]

So uhh, what you guys think they would gift us for missing the maintenance’s time?

[glass monolith]

"0" days since Yostar delayed something in AK

[full terrace]

Nah I got kicked out of IS

That run is gone

[pure orchid]

rip

I demand 10 pulls

[brisk surge]

Rip run

[full terrace]

Ah bad run anyway, its whatever

[brisk surge]

You should make a guide for the new maps for me

[full terrace]

Which new maps? Kaz Falls and Elusive Merc are already here

Regular Army just helidrop an Ulpi to kill car, then deploy Wis and Logos on camouflage tiles

Chaos just spam Eyjaberry 😏

[south spindle]

Elusive Merc?

[brisk surge]

That

I don't play enough to learn

[full terrace]

Emergency Elusive Merc #strategy message

[brisk surge]

I cope and pray I don't get those maps

[south spindle]

Ty

[brisk surge]

I'll have to download it on my comp tmr to view

[south spindle]

Time to cope up a 25% Ulpianus

[brisk surge]

[full terrace]

Emergency Kaz Falls #strategy message
It's better if you have Logos instead of Wisadel there, coz he doesnt do AoE explosion
Wisadel makes them go kaboom then she is dead herself because they go kaboom back at her

Also I'm sure a lot of melee ops can solo lanehold Kaz Falls

Like just defend in front of blue box

[south spindle]

Yeah Eyjaberry really saved

[brisk surge]

Hmm

I'll test it out tmr

[full terrace]

If you play with ranged ops then just make sure you kill all the Holy Automatons

[south spindle]

Screw the holy automatons

[full terrace]

Coz once they enter your blue box, they do global damage to your ops and the little critters

[brisk surge]

Maybe I draft like quartz if I get a free guard ticket

[full terrace]

Those little critters explode = your ranged ops are dead

Thats why Logos > Wisadel there coz he doesnt do AoE explosion and he wipes out the Holy Automatons cleanly

[brisk surge]

Flingers are such frauds smh

[south spindle]

Beat Buddha? ✅
Floor 2 Stage: ❌

[full terrace]

It's exactly because of Floor 2 that it's difficult. You dont have enough resources and relics yet

Thats really an uncomfortable place getting pressured on

[south spindle]

Indeed but just funny without the context

[full terrace]

If it's like F3 or F4 it should be much more manageable

[south spindle]

Kazfalls becomes handleable

But still dk what to do with my units for Elusive

No Wis or Ulpi

[full terrace]

Elusive Merc is single most brutal stage I have seen in the entire IS5 so far

It's even harder than boss stages themselves 😒

[limber fox]

I never rly understood wtf happens in kaz falls

[south spindle]

Ranged units can get you killed

[limber fox]

The only time i tried , it rly was all about placing ground units in front of blue box

[south spindle]

indeed

[limber fox]

But

All ranged opps either die or kill everyone else

Weird level

[south spindle]

Well they wouldn't kill ground units on right lane since the necrosis wouldn't reach

[full terrace]

I'll make cleaner recordings for the Expansion I maps once I built my Qiubai and Rosmontis

Need a full Talon run for clean recordings

[south spindle]

Does Ros use anything other than S2

[full terrace]

I also wanna leave a record for Quilon stage so I'll do it after Qiubai and Rosmontis

[south spindle]

Def sparking her atp

[full terrace]

Nope S2 only
I use her mainly because I dont wanna kill the boats 😂

[wicked minnow]

do we have a good strat for kaz falls emergency?

[full terrace]

Ranged ops that do no AoE

[south spindle]

I mean shes also turbo strong and that is why everyone uses her

[full terrace]

Such as Logos

[south spindle]

AoE not air

Crazy good

[solid dragon]

who are the next banners after the maintenance ends?

[full terrace]

Or you can solo lanehold the entire stage with melee ops

[south spindle]

Melee carry camp da box
Ranged units kill themself and can waste dp if not faced right
Maybe use them to distract some ranged units

[full terrace]

Thats all there is to Kaz Falls

[wicked minnow]

mhm ill probably continue to avoid it then

[full terrace]

Wise

I avoid it myself

[south spindle]

Its handleable after alot of traumatic concussions

Elusive Merc is is still bull

[full terrace]

Freaking floor 2 I'm low on resources, aint got no time to deal with that stage

[south spindle]

Ya know if Expansion 2 maps are also cancer?

[wicked minnow]

i still havent seen ellusive merc yet 🎉

[full terrace]

It's cancer that one
There arent that many stages I call hard, Elusive Merc is hard.

[south spindle]

What the fuck

[full terrace]

Yostar messed up so bad

[south spindle]

50 minutes now?

[still vessel]

Help is a mess rn

Anyways since it’s too hectic over there what do you guys think is the best option from the Rhode Island op selector pack from the shop?

[full terrace]

Depends on what you have

[still vessel]

I don’t have any 6 star except exu sa and lappalt

[full terrace]

Also is this the Standard one or the Kernel one

[still vessel]

Standard

[full terrace]

There are 2 selector packs

[still vessel]

I’m not getting kernel

[full terrace]

Depends on what you have then

Do you have Mlynar there?

[still vessel]

No

[full terrace]

Then go Mlynar

[still vessel]

Ok thanks

[full terrace]

@olive stream I just saw this #help message
It's not dead like dead dead, but rather there exists a more efficient method with Agents now. The main purpose of Flagpipe is to swiftly generate DP to deploy your dps carry right? Thats because Flagbearers by themselves cant lanehold (1 block count bro) and when they generate DP they literally let enemies pass. Agent Vanguards fixed this issue, let's take Ines for example, she by herself, generates 17~18 DP if she has targets to hit for the entire skill duration, that in itself is comparable to the better Flags except she can lanehold. Since she can lanehold the early waves, you lost your main reason to bring out your main dps carry right away because she does the job for you while still performing her DP generation duty.

Ofcourse you could argue "what if there is no target for these Agents to hit" well then Flags perform better in that case, but then again, if you have no early pressure then you can just wait for your natural DP generation instead of bringing Vanguards

[glass monolith]

Is game back yet?

[full terrace]

So from that angle, Agents are the preferred choice because they only take 1 slot instead of multiple (2 at the minimum) with Flagpipe setup.

Also as a bonus reason: when buffs are involved (in contents like IS for example), Agents generate much better DP than the Flags because Flags are constant while Agents rely on their aspd for DP generation. Like this for example #strategy message

[winter axle]

TLDR of new game mode

Peeps have been comparing it to tft

[full terrace]

Game is up, go

[limber fox]

That shit ate thru one of my best runs like nothing

[limber fox]

I agree with everything, except this last part
Not having a pressure from very beginning does not necessarily mean that the level will stay thay way forever, sometimes the pressure is right there but takes long enough for the enemies to arrive, making so flagbearers are (imo) still a very important piece
I myself keep switching from Sailech to Vulpis depending on the level, hell, sometimes the very healing she provides is the key to survival

[primal rapids]

Can I somehow switch the units I got assigned in the Stronghold Protocol, or am I stuck with for example Asbestos?

[rose patrol]

what is up with the difficulty spike in stronghold, like round 5 they spawning these sarkaz assassins that are hp sponges

[glass monolith]

Fuck my life

[south spindle]

Pozy?

Dorothy?

[glass monolith]

Middle lane banned layout - Freeze tribe

All ranged tiles in freeze bugs

All bottom lane in freeze bugs

Top lane in killed from 6000 crits by Ice simp squad with frostnova

[full terrace]

😂😂

This is so funny

[winter axle]

So whats the strat?

[glass monolith]

Have fun, reach late, get facerolled

[winter axle]

tf... im dying... how is this fair

there's not just enough funds to recruit ops

[glass monolith]

Selecting my own Viviana as operator in auto chess set her faction to Assist instead Kazimier. Literally unplayable

[fathom swift]

Is there a strategy for IS3? I currently find it the hardest IS to clear 😓

[winter axle]

#is-station, Get shawl, win

[dark violet]

for some reason I thought this would be a good idea

how do you remove equipments btw?

aside upgrading an op or the item

[glass monolith]

selling op

[winter axle]

This gamemode is brutal wtf

[dark violet]

mmh, yes, who needs defenders when you have the ripper

[winter axle]

ah dumb gaemmode

[dark violet]

Mmh, so far it seems quite easy, but I guess that's because I'm still on the "easy" difficulty

double rosmontis with elite sniper set is funny though, when her s3 activates it becomes... something

[glass monolith]

WHY FUCKING GLADIA DEFAULT MODULE IN THIS MOD IS PULL ONE? (Edit: I am very smart - She is unmoduled before upgrade)

It is as troll as TfN with unequiped modules on free squads

[winter axle]

Ahhhhh shit gamemode. why tf so hard

and most of the interesting squads are lock behind some niche unlock condition

[glass monolith]

Well it is free so i guess you just jump head first into wall to unlock each

[wicked minnow]

mode is only hard on the last difficulty also having/borrowing support units helps a lot

[glass monolith]

I own so much units i can't even use alll 8 "support from others"

[south bone]

how do we merge op again i forgor

[glass monolith]

Collect 3

It auto glue them together and then bunch of MTG bullshitery resolves and now my bench is 12/10

[full terrace]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

🤣 🤣 🤣

[dark violet]

Can't believe they managed to make afk dorothy

mmhyes

oh damn, I didn't notice my dp gen

I'll remove jaye for specter then

I just noticed the traps don't deal any damage

[south bone]

hm

[glass monolith]

Can't kill bros? Time them out

[wise idol]

So Stage 11-17 I need help no mater what combination i do i cant see to get it to work

there no way to keep kal'tsit alive the boss guy ALWAYS kills her and anyone in the way of his strike

[full terrace]

The Kazimierz enemies are annoying

Candleknights

[wise idol]

this dude can just go Foff he always attacks my kal'tsit and kills her in 11-17

[pure orchid]

Isnt that, scripted

[glass monolith]

Imagine if he somehow look up guide of someone who did it on bugged CN pre-fix version?

[pure orchid]

Whats bug

[elder flume]

Horizontal slash

Misses Kal

Kal stays alive

[pure orchid]

lol

[glass monolith]

Or targets Haze instead

[pure orchid]

tf haze do 😭

Does theresis hate criminals

[full terrace]

What are they doing? 😂😂

[elder flume]

Only 4 spots to put ops i want and only 2 can have M3

That kina limits my shifters

And their Gladiia is only SL7

[misty umbra]

Struggling on pv-10 now :(

Borrowed a logos and still couldnt really fogure it out

[final obsidian]

Borrow a Virtuosa if you are borrowing

[misty umbra]

How should i use her?

Im able to kill first phase with mylnar and amiya

[final obsidian]

Just put her somewhere where she can hit the boss

[elder flume]

Either S1 or S3 to focus Lapp

[misty umbra]

On virtuosa yeah?

[jovial nest]

I love the meme stage

[final obsidian]

Her Necrosis buildup is not conditional to how much damage she does so she will kill P1 very easily through the boss damage resist

[misty umbra]

Mmmm okay

Where should i put my mylnar then for p2?

[tiny vale]

You can place Mlynar facing upwards next to the fireworks

[jovial nest]

oh this is gonna be actually difficult

they can artillery

[misty umbra]

Why upward?

And does the side matter?

[tiny vale]

Upward to also clear the mobs when you're at it

[jovial nest]

oh thank god there's only 4 beer

i thought every truck becomes beer

[misty umbra]

Okay one last wuestion, does when i use the skill matter? Like wait for swarms or just off cd

[tiny vale]

Yea wait for swarms/Lappland teleport I suppose

[misty umbra]

Kk

[final obsidian]

If you don’t want to worry about Virtuosa skill usage just bring S1 it is pretty afk

[misty umbra]

I also have lappalt so swarms arent a massive worry as long as i ise her skill right

[elder flume]

Try to use dps skills when Carnevale ends with you winning

Or atleast have duration after Carnevale ends

So Lapp loses DR and you still have damage

Except Virt since shes Virt

[languid thistle]

so is this basically autochess

[still vessel]

honestly

big fan of the event

quite fun and doesnt require sanity

[terse sierra]

auto chess mode strategy for dummies - walter, logos, lappalter
stronghold: 卫戍协议

[still vessel]

I have lappalter but she hasnt shown up yet. my luck kinda booty

[terse sierra]

you can add friends to get the other preset units

[still vessel]

yeah i need to add more friends (looks at my friend count: 1)

[terse sierra]

and you can take up to 8 friends or something for the six stars
lumen and gladiia also count at level 1 as they will be auto levelled for the event

[still vessel]

what events do i do for them?

[crystal python]

gladiia is from under tides i forget about lumen

[final obsidian]

Stultifera Navis

[terse sierra]

and be sure to set him to use the y module, this event needs some module configuration because the default choices are weirdge

[still vessel]

some of the items are very strong especially the class buffs since they apply to all ops

one run had me running like 7 casters

[terse sierra]

arknights runs completely new and interesting events now and then

events like these are basically beta tests, if people love them there will be more runs

[pure orchid]

I dont love this event but i do love raidian

[pearl breach]

Damn. Where is my POO 2.0

[elder flume]

i dont have Ulpi friends to take their support
my friends hate them

[pure orchid]

Will we have more raidian runs

[wraith mulch]

Anyone have rosmontis, ulpi, chen hollungday as support? I need

[languid thistle]

the only op I don't own for this is ulpi lmao

my friend had one so it's whatever

[wraith mulch]

Can i borrow rosmo and chen

[languid thistle]

I guess

afaik I don't have to change my actual support units for it

[jovial nest]

PV-EX-2 CM making me sweat

[nocturne cove]

🥱

[brittle radish]

if you can do 4 ops, why not?

ulpianus + shu + ascalon + narantuya

[nocturne cove]

Gm

[jovial nest]

fuck thanks for reminding me about Ascalon for stall

[worldly stirrup]

I hate car in this event

[languid thistle]

ICBM launch site

[jovial nest]

also wait

the demand for 3 blockers is high in this event

I'm using ops I've not used for a long time

[elder flume]

flag mod or +1 block mod

[jovial nest]

weirdest map setup I've done so far

[languid thistle]

ugh fine I'll also try it

time for pv-ex-2-cm

[jovial nest]

It's my funeral still trying to do trust farm

[full terrace]

Here #strategy message

[languid thistle]

so far so good

[full terrace]

Making Low-End Clear for this stage is going to be fun 😂😂

[languid thistle]

nvm I forgot to pause while screenshotting and died

won 2nd try tho

[misty umbra]

I can not figure out pv-10

[still vessel]

Learn deployment order and you’re good

Or use summons

W makes this level piss easy

[elder flume]

Vulpis early for dp
Lapp job is to silence cars
if Liskarm mod then face her right so she doesnt reveal invis
CS to deal with dancers
Amiya only for P1 after that she can go

actually if you can delay Ptilo placement shes better on Amiya spot after she dies

[languid thistle]

bro is fuckin' drafting war plans

[elder flume]

wao CS S3M3 is quite a good mastery

1.5s stun to 4s

[final obsidian]

Is that map to see levels on PRTS or something else

[elder flume]

wdym

it covers every stages

[languid thistle]

How do you misunderstand his question that severely

that's impressive

[elder flume]

idk

i just woke up

[final obsidian]

Sorry, I meant is it on the PRTS wiki or a different website

[elder flume]

its https://map.ark-nights.com

[languid thistle]

you'll get it one day

[full terrace]

Lmao thats not lame at all

Look @pure orchid bruteforce at its finest 😂

When you decided not to play with Roadblocks nor Firework.

[languid thistle]

I love when discord refuses to actually play the video but plays the audio

[jovial nest]

ok a maze i can keep swapping the exits just to stall the trucks

cause fuck those trucks

[elder flume]

thats a lot of blocks

[jovial nest]

it's obvious they give you a lot to make the best swappable maze

cause they just spawn so many trucks

and they all beeline to the exit

so they want you to swap exits

[full terrace]

Ines+Asca+Virt+Nymph, roadblocks can go to hell

[jovial nest]

that's right. Go the other way, yes.

[elder flume]

it dumped beer and left

[languid thistle]

I just did a single corridor and shu'd the trucks

[jovial nest]

the fuse was trampled 2 times that the maze really helped me stall

fucking hell

[elder flume]

oh this map might be fun

will try later

[languid thistle]

holy shit I fucking hate this stage

what kinda psychopath sends a truck on the top path

it just doesn't fucking die

this is insane

[elder flume]

9ty% dr moment

36ty k ehp lol

fun

[jovial nest]

ok I'm doing this shit wrong

I should be building a maze to keep the fuse alive

[languid thistle]

ok I finished pv-s-5 time for CM

surely it won't be much worse

[smoky pike]

GUYS I'm pretty sure EX-10 challenge mode has enemy stats hidden buffed

my ops were consistently dying when they shouldn't be

[elder flume]

all cm buffs enemies

[smoky pike]

really

[elder flume]

whether its by 5% or up to 35%

[smoky pike]

I thought it was just the stated mechanic

that's so underhanded

but yeah in EX-10 the enemy stats are buffed significantly

[languid thistle]

I like how lapp just completely ignores lin's barrier

[smoky pike]

phalanx caster

[elder flume]

CM vs normal

2ty%

[smoky pike]

well lapp's stat change isn't that significant, check the sax guys

[languid thistle]

DIE HOE

[sly drift]

Oh wow. The very first stage already pissed me

[elder flume]

still the same 2ty%

[languid thistle]

poggies

[languid thistle]

it's just a joke stage

block the top and everyone suicides

[elder flume]

youre experiencing more damage rapidly due to how burn tick is based off damage

[smoky pike]

it's because of the def

420 crosses my guard's ATK

so instead of doing over 100 damage she was doing 1

ok now to do CM 1-9

[wise idol]

11-17 is bull shit no mater what i do thoes dumb ass big guys gets through

There are no twigs to kill at all

[jovial nest]

and with that maze change, the fuse is now safe af

[sly drift]

11-17 is premade squad

It surely does filter people eh

[languid thistle]

time to play fuckin' autochess

why did they lock the entire middle lane off

[jovial nest]

randomized layouts

in return you get safe ranged tiles

[elder flume]

oh those are holes on the bottom

ig M3 shifters could be worth

[jovial nest]

good luck if you can find them in some of the defaults

[wise idol]

So what am i doing wrong there no twigs to kill early and no guys to kill early from the twigs they come AFTER you killed everyone

[brisk surge]

god i fucking hate

tutorials

let me skip them

fuck off

[elder flume]

they dont get stat buffs if they spawn from red box btw

that specifies if they hatch from twig

[wise idol]

bull shit they dont

[jovial nest]

Ascalon S2 is so good

PV-S-2 and PV-S-3 burning through so many plans. I'll wait for reset for 4 & 5.

[elder flume]

oh wait yea it counts kill count

roughly that much when last 2 enemies

[languid thistle]

I wonder if 2 perfumers stack talent heal

[wise idol]

they just walk right fuckin through at least one of them EVERYTIME

I cant post a vid cause it to fuck big for discord

it feels as IF your suppose to loose

[misty umbra]

I moidfied it a bit because i dont have a lot of leveled defenders and used mylnar to clear the big swarms, but this worked

Ty

[viral edge]

Best pick for my acc? And what units should I focus on leveling?

Thinking thorns for afk or mountain, someone told me Ceobe or Suzu

[weak gazelle]

this is kernel selector huh
me will pick between suzu/ceobe/ange

[acoustic slate]

Yeah they’re right lol

[wise idol]

mountain is a good pick his second perk is nice he can just about hold one line by him self

[tawdry path]

pv s 5 is so evil they put a truck on the top lane

[south bone]

hm well that's a jump from S-1

[wise idol]

also Blem and Suzu are great too

[acoustic slate]

Why waste the selector on 2 mid afk skills when you have Ulpianus and typhon unbuilt or half built

Wow spending $30 on blem🥹 that’s uhhhhhh something

[viral edge]

Is ulp good for afk?

[acoustic slate]

Way better than mountain
Typhon s2 is better than thorns s3

[weak gazelle]

if so fixated on afk
why buy selector in the first place? well not that i say its bad decision (its your money after all)
still rec to what space said earlier
if not to your liking then pick whoever you want

[viral edge]

Not really fixated learned about it so was curious

[wise idol]

no dont spend on blem spend on lappy

[acoustic slate]

Ceobe is irreplaceable in hard content for her talent and skill, suzuran is a very strong crowd controller and buffer.

Everyone else on the list is either bad or irrelevant, aside from Angelina but only in one mode, thanks to her new exclusive module
Oh and weedy but I wouldn’t suggest you pick her

[weak gazelle]

uhmm gameplay wise if want to learn
like i said before suzu/ceobe/ange(spesific to is game mode)/weedy
i add weedy because still the best shifter (if curious about shift gameplay)

[elder flume]

as much as i shill Weedy she needs to be like the last useful op you can choose to go for

[viral edge]

I am planning on getting reed with gold certs/necrass/monster/exia alter/ascalon/yu if that changes what I should get

[weak gazelle]

luckily rainchan here
can ask him about shift gameplay in more detailed

that didnt change anything honestly
new operator always better

[acoustic slate]

If anything it makes the options I laid out more compelling…. No need for afk slop skills with such strong operators

[viral edge]

So still ceobe/suzu focus? Is there one that helps me more atm?

Also is there any video or such on what 3-4 star opps to level for IS?

[elder flume]

#is-station

PV S 1

[acoustic slate]

Suzuran is more generally useful

Ceobe is only useful once or twice a year for CC or hard stage but when she is used, she’s irreplaceable.

[final obsidian]

Take Suzu 40% fragile nice to have

[viral edge]

What about if I’m planning to build eterna or does she do a completely different thing than suzu?

[rapid junco]

Whaa?

But uhh, ya
They doing different stuff

[elder flume]

CE either is your dps or your healer
Suzu is either your dps or your debuffer or your healer
they can fill their respective roles

[acoustic slate]

Very different

[viral edge]

Also if you guys don’t mind who should I focus on leveling? Already got ulp on the backburner after I get reed alter e2d

[maiden hound]

give your E2 LV<40s some levels (especially Degenbrecher)

ulpianus/silverash

[rapid junco]

Build eyja for arts damage

[acoustic slate]

Is your base in a functioning state?

[maiden hound]

no proviso in sight...

[rapid junco]

Mine is built, but not functioning enough

[viral edge]

It functions I think lol, mainly have it giving me lmd and records

[acoustic slate]

Well I would hope so…. I ask because you seem a bit

Well

Erm

Poor

[viral edge]

Haven’t pulled her : (

[viral edge]

Well I just came back to this game like a month ago

So have been catching up

[rapid junco]

Don't speak fire

[viral edge]

My biggest mistake I think was leveling surtr to 90 as soon as I came back

I was like oh yeah just surtr it was a thing

[acoustic slate]

Fair 🫡

[viral edge]

That took a lot of resources im assuming

[elder flume]

if you try hard enough it can still be a just Surtr it

[viral edge]

Idk most of what I’m fighting surtr doesn’t seem to do as much damage

[elder flume]

wonder if theres a Surtr squad showcase for this event

[rapid junco]

Surtr hosp when dudes are invis

[viral edge]

I def wanna make abyssal hunters I just need spalter

[rapid junco]

~~you only need ulpi and gladia🤫 ~~

[acoustic slate]

That would be a pretty waste ngl

[rapid junco]

But 50% hp + 0.5 sp funni😭

[viral edge]

Not good anymore?

[acoustic slate]

Tons of resources just for cheerleaders for Ulpianus 🥹

[viral edge]

I see lol

[rapid junco]

Every one say gladia for ulpi is waste
When in reality she make ulpi a best tank 😭

[acoustic slate]

Yeah I mean they can work for most content of course but this issue is that you’re getting multiple masteries and module, just to use 5 squad spaces for the strength of line 2.3 good operators lol

Better alternative is just using Ulpianus + 11 other good squad members

[scarlet mortar]

why add gladiia to make ulpi take less damage, when adding wis would also make ulpi take less damage

[tall sierra]

Any1 has these 2 ops for stronghold?

[white slate]

rosmo is quite op and shes available at 5

[tall sierra]

That the problem, i dun have her 😦

Or any1 that set to ros or gnosis

[elder flume]

Hmm

[white slate]

let me get inside arknights first

do you have saria?

double saria is nigh unbreachable

[brisk surge]

Wtfart

IS slave in my strategy chat

[white slate]

XD

i want to move from is for a while

kinda get boring

[elder flume]

especially when theres autochess available

i might flagpipe S1 CM

[tall sierra]

Yea i have her

I think i saw saria in random refresh

[white slate]

check dm? did it work?

[still vessel]

someone wanna help me

get through pv10

finished first phase

dont wanna fuck up

[brisk surge]

Just kill

You have wis

[still vessel]

so imma just spam all my dps units?

hope i kill withing fireworks or what

[elder flume]

ideally Wis starts dps on Lapp after firework ends

you still have to take care of left cars with either Lapps

ig dancers should be fine

[still vessel]

fuck i leaked

sometimes doing the same thing from the practice is hard

[brisk surge]

That's why you never use practice

[still vessel]

so you just deal with the -1 sanity each attempt

[brisk surge]

Ye

[elder flume]

nowadays its eh

[still vessel]

might stard doing that

ngl

[elder flume]

back then CM is a must with practice or else you lose half the sanity cost each loss

i just use practice on normal and sanity for CM now

[brisk surge]

You get a clear with practice

Now what

You have to do it again

[still vessel]

ye since its only one sanity i think its fine

[elder flume]

just redo it

surely theres a recording app that keeps track of whatever move you did

[still vessel]

even if you repeat the same moves its different timings

[brisk surge]

I'd just use sanity since you generally get back the sanity while you are retrying anyways

[still vessel]

especially with a boss like lapp that can change depending on if you have someone down for 1s or 2s

[elder flume]

do you use pause deploy btw

[still vessel]

whats that

i just use the slow when selecting ops

[elder flume]

its when you pause and can still move ops to a spot and when you want you can deploy them while pausing

[still vessel]

how you do dat

[elder flume]

pc or mobile

[still vessel]

pc

[elder flume]

drag the op and whatever keybind you have for the pause

[still vessel]

so esc?

[elder flume]

ye

makes timing easier

[still vessel]

omg its so nice

wtf

max

you suck

[brisk surge]

Learn it by yourself

🚬

I'm not here to handhold

[still vessel]

coulda just told me about it

smh

[haughty flower]

Just curious, who's normally considered the best defense logistics op in stronghold?

[tall sierra]

Defender

liskarm and saria?

I like sniper team with lots of aspd equipped

The most annoying enemy is the damn bone guy with whip

[elder flume]

PV S 1 CM

[still vessel]

OMFG IM SO CLOSE

one little guy got past

[brisk surge]

He's so close

[steel prairie]

is this truck glitched ??? it said that only Ops that can block 3+ enemies can block it but my Saria was free and the truck keeps going pass her like air ???

[elder flume]

Is Saria blocking something else

[steel prairie]

my Saria was not attacking anyone at all and she blocks 3 enemy

[fervent heron]

The trucks special attack reduces block count

[steel prairie]

no... nothing

[still vessel]

if you got beered then its -1 block count

[south bone]

it reduces block

[fervent heron]

Also known as I hate this damn thing

[south bone]

annoying mf

[elder flume]

Oya thats beer car

[fervent heron]

I try to nuke it with true damage

[still vessel]

just use some redeploy vanguard to bait beer

[steel prairie]

wait is the bear splash or single ???

[still vessel]

splash

[south bone]

splash

[steel prairie]

always couldnt tell

[fervent heron]

the beer splash causes -1 block count

[steel prairie]

ohhh

oh ok ic

[fervent heron]

So either nuke it or bring 4 block hoshi

[steel prairie]

for me I guess I just put Nearl further from Saria since they are right next to each other

actually Nearl would be blocking it then

[fervent heron]

it's going to take awhile (I took 2 hours to take down beer trucks on PV-S-2 Challenge)

so prepare yourself (unless you are ultra stacked)

[elder flume]

You can silence the beer btw

As long as Lappland keeps attacking the beer

[fervent heron]

wait fr? (not that it mattered thanks to the double beer truck in a row)

Monster can take down one by it self

can confirm on my end

[clever hedge]

jaye is also a frdp silence option if you can get his skill up in time

[fervent heron]

True dmg gaming

[nocturne cove]

splash

[desert prairie]

true damage has been extremely helpful in this event

btw you can push beer cars

[maiden hound]

with what? weedy s3m3?

[pulsar mortar]

Is there a PV-S-5 strats that doesn't use both eyjaberry and shu? or at least not at the same time

[last surge]

Hey uhh just asking, but in PV-EX-8 CM which operator does Lappland target first? Is it the first you put down?

But when I play, she attacked my logos first when Ascalon was my first deployment?

[maiden hound]

which side did you place them

[acoustic slate]

Lappland just has normal targetting

[glass monolith]

Targeting goes for LAST deployed operator. Just Dumb's range ain't global outside drone skill

[brisk surge]

i hate cm pvs2 bro

this stage sucks

[acoustic slate]

3/4 much easier

[brisk surge]

such an unfun stage

[still vessel]

silence stops the popcorn from exploding

lapp is so goated

pvs 1 you just place lapp then 2 defenders and its done

[elder flume]

Just hole the cart so popcorn dont spawn

S2 is weird

Theres a hole but its not intuitive to use

[elder flume]

Gladiia S1M3 mod1 shift is better

[still vessel]

the jump from pvs1 to pvs2 is insane

how am i supposed to clear it

[elder flume]

Alternatively Feater S2M3 but beer throw is faster than 15s rip

[elder flume]

Chokepoint is at firework
So do dps there

[south bone]

yo core diff is kicking my ass

please let me breath first

[still vessel]

issue is the beginning

if i spend dp on defending i dont have an answer for popcorn

and if i do popcorn i dont have dps to clear

maybe i need to borrow wis

[elder flume]

Popcorn goes middle first no

[still vessel]

yah

[elder flume]

Setup bluebox

[still vessel]

yeah i have spot, medic and lapp

[elder flume]

Can handle early popcorn with just Gravel

[still vessel]

leaves me with enough dp for kroos

for popcorn

but i dont have enough dps for fireworks after so maybe w can solve taht

[elder flume]

Its fine if it dies

Not the end of it

You want firework active to lure cartman and thats it really

[brisk surge]

i hate dr

[elder flume]

If you cant do it on first activation its eh

[brisk surge]

💢

[still vessel]

actually

[elder flume]

Also just Lapp cant do bluebox?

[still vessel]

its doable

lapp can solo bluebox

with spot on bottom

and wis can solo fireworks and kroos can popcorn

i just need to set up better

[elder flume]

Alternatively Lapp for popcorn to not explode

[still vessel]

should i change to burn?

[elder flume]

Ye

[jaunty hill]

Man wtf are these s stages 🥀

[brisk surge]

its cancer

[elder flume]

Fun right

[still vessel]

talking about regular or cm

[jaunty hill]

I can't do S2 challenge mode and S3 normal ☠️

Hell nah bro

[brisk surge]

i cba

bagpipe coming out

[last surge]

This event has singlehandly make me respect Lappland more but also hate her 10x, idk how this has happened

[still vessel]

silence is goated

[worldly stirrup]

So many annoying mechanics lol
Invisible, dmg reduction, elemental dmg, and enemy that can reduce block number 💀

[pulsar mortar]

Uhh.. Is there a PV-S-5 strats that doesn't use both eyjaberry and shu? or at least not at the same time

[worldly stirrup]

http://youtu.be/jRrY35yHmnA?si=ksZqre8MsZH-6nvl

[still vessel]

whats the basis behind pvex1? do i just place down guards on the right and balloon poppers on the left?

[maiden hound]

aoe on the right balloon poppers + blocker on the left

[still vessel]

i need blockers for the massive wave of enemies on the right no?

[nocturne cove]

Hi guys

How bad are the S stages

[still vessel]

from what ive heard

not good

whos the best to borrow for ex1?

[glass monolith]

For not CM you can abuse Carnaval 100% uptime with balloons to AoE murder right half. While somehow survive car slaughter on left..
For CM just forget about balloons and face 4 rows of enemies coming in pairs

[still vessel]

ok

[azure roost]

s1 free
s2 lil annoying
s3 box gaming funnel
s4 funnel
s5 have fun timing it

[south spindle]

Logos hands down, after some charge time solos left lane no interaction required
before skill up needs someone to help, but doesn't need them after

[pastel gazelle]

is there anything to with this particular car..

[azure roost]

defender

[still vessel]

if its not beer then just defender

[pastel gazelle]

shouldve brought another

[still vessel]

anyone got a logos i could borrow

ill go to friend id actually

friend id dry asf

[slow plume]

Fellow doctors, is she good?

[still vessel]

i heard reed alt is good

idk about regular tho

[slow plume]

Yeah, her alter is a chain bomb

[still vessel]

its cool they add alters. makes it so if you love a character they can be meta

(exusiai)

[worldly stirrup]

The only good vanguard are agents, suzumom, flag, and bagpipe.

Others kinda meh imo

[still vessel]

standard? not including limited?

[worldly stirrup]

Also mumu

She good

[slow plume]

Ok, thx for the advice honestly I build her because art and waifu material lol

[worldly stirrup]

She is charger right?

[slow plume]

Try to make her fit in my squad by asking suggestions

[worldly stirrup]

Same class as vigna and bagpipe?

[slow plume]

Yeah

[worldly stirrup]

Charger itself kinda bad class
Because 1 block and need kill to generate dp

[elder flume]

shes kina powercrept by Vulpis now

[slow plume]

Dang

[worldly stirrup]

Better use flag or pioneer

[elder flume]

tho even before her role wasnt great as dual type since not much utility compared to even Zima

not enough damage to stand alone

the normal mobs kina shredding Enforcer

[smoky halo]

wtf enforcer getting bullied

😔

[nocturne cove]

Tactician erasure

[elder flume]

Heavyrain might be ideal for right side

[jaunty hill]

These new stages suck

[brisk surge]

🚬

we cooked

[tall sierra]

This stronghold is kinda bs

[full terrace]

Yeah you are meant to modify it, I always told people to "use this for reference" and "adjust accordingly" not blindly copy the video (altho I did meet some people like that 😅), in some cases I even went to write essays for it so people could understand the underlying strategy better.

[tall sierra]

I manage to deplete the enemy hp suddenly his hp increase again

[full terrace]

And you are welcome my friend.

[brisk surge]

arf

you think people are gonna read

but the longer it is the less people are gonna read

[full terrace]

Some people do read, and most of them that came to this channel did read

[still vessel]

fr

stop being a downer max

[full terrace]

Most people that came here, they are willing to do anything to clear the stage

[still vessel]

im stuck on pvs2 you got a strategy for that? closest was 46/52

[full terrace]

But there are people who do play niche tho, and apply self-restriction on themselves

I'm skipping these kinds 😏

[still vessel]

out of practice tickets too

[brisk surge]

tbh if someone plays niche they should know better than to ask others

[full terrace]

Ancool helps them because he has different philosophy than mine

[south spindle]

^ you play niche to challenge yourself

stuck? congrats your niche is working

[full terrace]

Yes exactly

Like, it's your niche, you should know better than others

[brisk surge]

i dont help people who doesnt try to beat it on their own before asking

🚬

[south spindle]

💀

Just log me into your account atp

[brisk surge]

nah bro like

[still vessel]

hmm feel like they go to youtube first before and if they dont find anything that works they come here

[brisk surge]

if you want to know everything in the stage before even playing it

why are you even playing arknights

[still vessel]

fr i love car jumpscare

[brisk surge]

the whole point is to find out

[viral edge]

Borrow wisadel put her in the middle part and have good defenders and you should be good tbh. Wis pops almost all the balloons by herself to extend it and just defend the fireworks

[brisk surge]

bro doesnt know that he started the game less than a week ago 💔

the no damage award

[still vessel]

yeah thats the strategy but the problem is the beer car disables my guards and i dont have enough time for bait to work

[still vessel]

your wis is the sole thing getting me through stages

[viral edge]

Put a fast redeploy for the beer maybe?

[brisk surge]

yeah honestly you started the game at a fuckass event

[viral edge]

Let me see your team

[brisk surge]

everything and their mother has DR

[still vessel]

you started me at a fuckass event

[brisk surge]

[still vessel]

love it tho

[viral edge]

You should theoretically be able to beat 2. 3 even in stuck on tho my blocks keep getting destroyed

[still vessel]

im loading up ark

[elder flume]

you can use roadblocks to insta kill popcorn without breaking

[brisk surge]

3 is just juggling the cars and make them move up and down

oooo open road here

[still vessel]

these are my ops

[viral edge]

Ah no e2 lap unfort makes it so much easier

So where’s your Myrtle? My goat?

[still vessel]

indeed i tried rushing e2 and im gated by lvl3 factories so im rushing base rn

[still vessel]

good question

not pulled

yet

[viral edge]

Zamn

[still vessel]

since i didnt do any pulls since i started

except for free 10 from limited

where i got lappalt

[final obsidian]

You can get her from recruit but I wouldn’t E2 her

[still vessel]

i mean

ive heard good things

if shes necessary i could buy her

0.99 in shop

lol

[final obsidian]

Just wait for her recruit tags

[viral edge]

Honestly noir cuora and spot maybe? With the Lapland and wis should be able to do it. Just use fang for dp

[still vessel]

ok its dp recovery and vanguard right?

[still vessel]

what ive been doing

[brisk surge]

recommending myrtle in the big 2025

[still vessel]

here ill show you a run

[brisk surge]

help chat would cook you

[final obsidian]

It’s like vanguard healing for guarantee or something

[still vessel]

you have shu on for pvs1 cm?

[brisk surge]

i have pot 6 m3 mod3

[still vessel]

zamn

[final obsidian]

Well they specifically cook E2 suggestion which is true because it doesn’t do anything for noob since they won’t put masteries on it anyway

[brisk surge]

i have her up

[final obsidian]

I think they would say it a fine unit

[still vessel]

simp huh

[brisk surge]

i love my chinese woman 🚬

[viral edge]

Have silence and ptilospis healing

With both Lapps you should be good tbh

[still vessel]

so far i think i like ines design wise the most

[viral edge]

The unfortunate thing is you just have to burst em during carnival

[brisk surge]

waow meta slave

[viral edge]

The best ones wisadel

https://tenor.com/view/if-i-had-one-angry-yelling-fairly-odd-parents-mr-turner-gif-17356817453578943006

[still vessel]

well ive only seen like 20 ops man sorry

just so happens that the only ones in videos are meta ones

[viral edge]

Siege W and Nian got me through the start of Arknights in 2020 lol

[vocal leaf]

i like to believe that harold did something and it’s not just lumen keeping them alive

[still vessel]

i placed wis on top before ill try your right side strat

[brisk surge]

wtfart ice user

[vocal leaf]

ice best fireworks

[viral edge]

If you need damage go red but like slows so good for it

Also you need a strong solo laner on the left side id say silver ash

[still vessel]

is freeze good. Ive always liked freeze teams

[still vessel]

spot + lapp can defend top left

if your talking about bottom side then yeah sa works

[viral edge]

I’d put spot on the defense of the fireworks

[vocal leaf]

you need gnosis to make it work, otherwise no

i love freezing lapp

[worthy blaze]

Frederico was enough to defend top left for me

[still vessel]

might go for him. i really love playing slow/freeze

[terse sierra]

goddamn, S stages on a fresh account
Is PayDay the new Fibrinogen alter?

[brisk surge]

fib is gay

so probably not

[tepid mica]

How can I do pv-s-5 with this squad formation?

[azure roost]

damn i dont want to play boring ass autochess

yes

[brisk surge]

im like

lazy

[still vessel]

51/52 its just the beer car thats left

[vocal leaf]

no ines no sa, you will suffer in the cm opening

[still vessel]

leaks before fireworks go off and i dont have enough bait

[brisk surge]

you dont need ines nor sa to make cm opening work

[tepid mica]

Isn’t Mlynar a good enough replacement for silver ash? Furthermore, if it’s for visibility thingy, can’t I just Horns S1?

[slow plume]

Dang,you got Lappland, the unemployed. How many pulls do you do?

[tepid mica]

My problem mainly comes from beating lappland herself

[vocal leaf]

i guess you can surtr the dancers, but yeah horn s1 will work too

[still vessel]

0

free 10 pull

new account i just rerolled

[slow plume]

Man, noice luck

[slow plume]

I see

[still vessel]

yeah i started a week ago

[slow plume]

So, do you have an old account?

And what level is it?

[brisk surge]

something like this

[still vessel]

Im a new player, who started a week ago

[brisk surge]

change it accordingly

[tepid mica]

I’ll try it out and see how it’ll go

[jaunty hill]

[hushed umbra]

How can i survive the 2nd tidal wave in this map?

It's the only thing fking me

[maiden hound]

have you tried kyostinv

[hushed umbra]

What's that ?

[maiden hound]

look up "kyostinv [stage name]" on youtube (or your local invidious instance)

[somber falcon]

use the stickers to get some buffs

[woven blade]

any recommendations?

[final obsidian]

Canta

S1 or S2 by preference

[maiden hound]

canta either, medmiya s2 for is, lapluma either

[dapper hedge]

Ptilo s2 m3 is shit

[maiden hound]

huh? i guess my sourcs are wrong then

[tall sierra]

u never use her skill much, mostly there for sp regen boost for everyone

[dapper hedge]

Her m3 does very little

I used her with sl5 for 5 years and shes fine lol.

[elder flume]

between Canta S2
Warf S2
Amiya S2 for me

very rare for Ely S2M3 with the existence of Ines lol

[sly drift]

Instead of just losing the run, Lappland leak only cost 2 life point and now I'm wasting 25 sanity

Lappland just pranked me bro

What thefc

[neat mantle]

need help 3 staring pv ex 1. left side keeps leaking, this is my squad

[final obsidian]

I would borrow a Logos with S1M3 for the left side

[neat mantle]

been searching for a while. i refreshed so much the cooldown is 1 minute now

[azure roost]

pro

[final obsidian]

Romah#6948

Add me I put it on for you

[neat mantle]

sent. thank you

[solid dew]

i love losing twice in a row on the last stage of this shitty gamemode
for like the 5th time
anyone got a cheese or something this gamemode sucks

[neat mantle]

is it the slugs

[solid dew]

more like
"1000 enemies with 100k hp go"

i do not get how people apparently beat core protocol with cs and hool and stuff

[elder flume]

theres a Logos strat somewhere for infinite money but takes like 5 hours

[jovial nest]

wow PV-S-4 was easy compared to 2 and 3

[still vessel]

Core protocol is only hard if you use the stuff given to you. If you have rich friends then it’s actually quite easy

[solid dew]

i dont have anyone with chen or anything so idk what to do

[still vessel]

Me neither I’m stuck here with you

Anyways I couldn’t sleep

Between mlynar and degen who’s better?

[elder flume]

different usecase

[still vessel]

But I heard they do the same thing

[brisk surge]

Mlynar

[still vessel]

Place down and nuke?

[brisk surge]

Is generally better

[still vessel]

Is it massive or small enough to not matter

[final obsidian]

Mlynar is like "kill everything in next 30 seconds" and Degen is like "kill everything around me on button press"

[still vessel]

Ok so timer vs on command

[brisk surge]

Mlynar just has more damage
