Is there something im missing?

steel prairie
#

sigh it always looks so easy... until I realize no one in my units deal arts dmg

desert prairie
#

top lane is for ranged heavy setup
bottom lane is for ground heavy setup
both gets killed by ifrit

elder flume
#

thats the gist of it

misty umbra
#

Huh

desert prairie
#

i see 3 rng chokepoints

misty umbra
#

Whaddya know

brisk surge
#

what is you playing this time rain

elder flume
#

9 CS clear screen

brisk surge
#

s3?

elder flume
#

ye

brisk surge
#

sounds interesting

misty umbra
#

What defense strategy do you guys recommend?

elder flume
#

not Logos

prisma elk
# elder flume

You should send the screenshot as well of what it looks like since I think people might confuse to buying only tier 1s for the arts you get after a promotion

elder flume
#

tbh T1 ops arent bad for R4

#

as long as its unique

#

and its not meant for people to copy

#

who the hell wants to reroll R6 3o times for a chance at it

prisma elk
# elder flume

Oh and also the don't upgrade the barge beyond level 3-4 since it inflates the operator pool too much

elder flume
#

i can refine it ig

how do you get so much money

kindred galleon
#

everyone n their mom using ascalon on pv-s-3

fast kernel
#

is sa e1 worth it

#

or should i go for someone else

#

as a beginner

prisma elk
nocturne cove
#

who else do you have?

fast kernel
#

project red

#

thorn

#

red is e2

#

la pluma

nocturne cove
#

why would you e2 red πŸ˜”
yeah you can upgrade SA to e2 as his main skill is s3

fast kernel
nocturne cove
fast kernel
#

soo do i e1 someone else or

nocturne cove
#

focus on SA atm, you should also raise your 3 stars like spot kroos lava orchid as they will help you early on

nocturne cove
#

good for a 3 star yeah, does his job fine

fast kernel
#

alright so the plan is get e1 silverash and then e2 lapp and then e2 thron?

nocturne cove
#

e2 SA

#

lapp works on e1

fast kernel
#

e2 sa and e2 thorn then

#

no need for e2 lapp?

nocturne cove
#

just give her some levels, you can e2 lapp but you need to manage where your resources are going

brisk surge
#

thorn is kinda 🀏 imo

#

low prio

fast kernel
#

oh

#

so only e2 sa

#

alr

nocturne cove
#

i think you should pull on the JO- if you cn collect enough pulls

brisk surge
south spindle
#

ehh rather save

brisk surge
#

now why would you suggest that

south spindle
#

JO is still sketch ulpian is good but 25%
exec and dorothy are fine but not the most rec
pozy meh

brisk surge
#

i do love the rat but what if a new player gets her now what

nocturne cove
#

even then all the ops are good/great

fast kernel
#

wait im like 1/3rd of the way to the 10 pull

nocturne cove
brisk surge
south spindle
#

Just rather think pulling Yu Mon3tr Ascalon Exualt better to save for

fast kernel

Sorry rain for the interruption

yeap

#

WTF THE HOVER GUY CAN DESTROY THE OBSTACLES ??? THIS IS NO LONGER A CHOICE

pure orchid
#

generally if enemy have no path to blue box, they will destroy obstacle

desert prairie
nocturne cove
steel prairie
#

he can go the otherway

pure orchid
#

thats not bs, how else will the enemy go to their objective ReedBean

steel prairie
#

wtf is this hacks ???

pure orchid
#

no, they have a checkpoint there

#

its a bit technical

#

but its a point they have to go to before reaching blue box, no matter what

south spindle
#

they have to walk out of the red box to the right

brisk surge
#

fixed path enemies 🚬

south spindle
#

im presuming it covered that path

pure orchid
#

that includes even if they get blocked by obstacle
i.e., they will destroy obstacle even if they normally don't

steel prairie
#

am I suppose to destroy the piller over the blue box ???

south spindle
#

which way was pillar knocked down? left wards?

south spindle
steel prairie
south spindle
#

ah might just be fixed path enemies

elder flume
#

it went longer than message limit lol

brisk surge
south spindle
#

my goat

steel prairie
#

chapter 9 is a arts dps check

brisk surge
#

send it as a txt file maybe

pure orchid
#

its not lol

brisk surge
#

people can still read it on discord

steel prairie
#

wdym ??? so many riot shielders

pure orchid
#

its a phys dps check given everything have 70 res

#

even shielders have res

steel prairie
south spindle
cyan gorge
#

phys and/or silence (debuff) check

south spindle
#

have you read what they do

pure orchid
#

please read their effects

#

i will not spoonfeed them

misty fossil
#

me when i just want to vent about the enemies but refuse to read anything SkadiDaijoubu

steel prairie
#

its def is B

elder flume
#

read what refraction is

steel prairie
#

so its arts dps check then right ???

pure orchid
#

Now read the refraction trait

final obsidian
#

Click on the thing that says Refraction

elder flume
steel prairie
brisk surge
steel prairie
#

also is it always active ???

misty fossil
#

???

pure orchid
#

dump the entire grade system, its fucking useless

elder flume
#

alrighty

pure orchid
#

70 res is just straight up 70% reduction to all arts dmg received

brisk surge
#

that should work (i think)

steel prairie
pure orchid
#

def works differently

#

it gives you a number

#

70

final obsidian
#

Its always on unless you silence it

south spindle
#

RES grading makes sense
DEF letter grading is LappDumb

wary shuttle
#

why doesnt HG just give us the exact numbers

south spindle
brisk surge
#

okay it works

wary shuttle
#

well yeah but why don't they just display it in game

pure orchid
#

excuse me

pure orchid
#

i am being peaceful

sullen rover
pure orchid
#

yeah like people will see 2000 def 40 res
now what? do they even know basic dmg formula

south spindle
#

right now both of you are fence of not being plebs

#

by learning to read and search wiki

#

you wiill graduate

#

yippie!

pure orchid
#

wowa

#

when will i learn how to calc dmg fully?

south spindle
#

gaze long enough into the abyss

sullen rover
south spindle
#

and sure

steel prairie
south spindle
#

you can also stay for my office hours 😏

pure orchid
#

ima pass on that

cyan gorge
#

Math? I just hit things till they die ReedBean

steel prairie
#

you see COD gun formula all being numbers and its way easier to understand than letters (which they used to use)

prisma elk
pure orchid
sullen rover
#

its not random S-A means high and it drops below

brisk surge
sullen rover
#

just saying he has high def (S) and low res (D) gives casuals enuf context to know who to bring

steel prairie
final obsidian
#

Why are you asking me that

sullen rover
#

numbers dosnt cuz doods doesnt even know what those means

pure orchid
#

kid named refraction, dodge, and dr

steel prairie
#

(since when is Lappa this OP for a 5 star ?)

misty fossil
#

my brother in the span of this conversation you couldve completed the stage twice with 1 being FAFO clear

brisk surge
#

i use D - S rating usually anyways unless im doing D15 IS

pure orchid
#

since ch4 spiders ?

fast kernel
#

is e1 lvl 1 sa stronger than lvl 50 sa?

brisk surge
#

yes

#

a lot

pure orchid
fast kernel
#

ohhh

#

cuz i thought the lvl reset

#

means i have o like relevel

cyan gorge
#

stats carry over

#

e1 lvl 1 and e0 max is the same stats iirc

Yknow doing the infinite gold strat would be nice if the barge rolled ops i already had

steel prairie

#

whats your operator comp

steel prairie
#

actually 6

#

6 physical dps and they cant bring one down

south spindle
#

whats your squad / when did you start

cyan gorge

lvl 90 chen jeez

#

when did you start

pure orchid
#

zuo le will dwarf that shit

steel prairie
steel prairie
#

also not enough

south spindle
#

okay ch9 on standard mode im presuming not story right

steel prairie
#

btw besides Chen and GT no one else is E2

#

and Lappa and Tex

#

well

#

those were kinda of free E2

cyan gorge

GT is not breaking anything with decent def

final obsidian

Dont push past 60/50/40 for 6/5/4 4* E2s

sullen rover
#

greythroat when krooster exist

cyan gorge
#

I don't think there's a single drone in chap 9

steel prairie
south spindle
#

GT was an interesting investment one of your biggest issues is

#

elemental healers suck

cyan gorge
#

aside from flying gargoyles

south spindle
#

Mulberry wont get jack done

steel prairie
cyan gorge
#

oh yeah hoverboards exist

steel prairie
south spindle
#

Logos is the squad thing right sweep?

elder flume
#

yes

pure orchid
#

I cry

south spindle
#

Oh ok

steel prairie
south spindle
steel prairie
#

like I have to put her upfront

cyan gorge
#

Mulberry is ok for burn damage, but wandering medics are notoriously weak when it comes to normal healing

south spindle
#

And mulberry is out healing patriot?

final obsidian
#

Deployment order so medics don’t die SoraWow

steel prairie
sullen rover
#

huh is he fighting 7-18

steel prairie
steel prairie
south spindle
#

bro silence is one of the best standard medics

#

😭

cyan gorge
#

Silence is 100% better at healing than Mulberry solely cause of her drone on s2

steel prairie
south spindle
#

this is a matter of indeed playing better

steel prairie
#

and has cooldown

rapid junco
#

Why your healer get sniped?

south spindle
#

considering deployment before you deploy and the order

cyan gorge
#

replay old tutorials on deployment order if medics are dying

steel prairie
# rapid junco Why your healer get sniped?

welll for example... Patriot has pority target.. and so as other enemies... and 2nd because Silence healing range sucks I have to place her in the frontlines... which even while placed 1st she gets targetted by mages

#

and when using her drone... the healing is lower than Mulberry

#

and takes up a slot

rapid junco
#

Patriot spear aim farest enemy from him, get a guess and bait it

cyan gorge
#

Patriot fires spear at farthest ranged operator, ignoring deployment order

rapid junco
#

It's also only aim range tile unit

steel prairie
#

excluding defenders

rapid junco
#

Ye

steel prairie
#

so yeah of course Patriot is gonna gun my medics

rapid junco
#

It's deal phys, base w talent can dodge it

steel prairie
#

but even then I usually place Silence pretty close to the front to the point where even the mages get a shot

steel prairie
south spindle
#

the healing is not lower than mulberry

#

and the drone does not take deployment limit

rapid junco
#

He becomes can hit ranged tiles on phase 2 too if that your problem

steel prairie
#

I call tiles slot because when I said tiles earlier someone else got confused

#

bruh

#

no universal call sign

rapid junco
#

Just don't place healer too close and place some bait on right bottom

south spindle
rapid junco
#

or simply kill him fast with wisadel 2 cycle

steel prairie
sullen rover
#

is this h74

steel prairie
#

with the pillers

rapid junco
#

Mlynar also can kill him with mines

sullen rover
#

what stage bro

steel prairie
#

like you either go all range or all ground

south spindle
#

its like every chapter has a theme and new mechanic

steel prairie
#

no inbetween

steel prairie
south spindle
#

either play the game or dont now you are just complaining about the stages blud

steel prairie
#

you knock 1 piller down and go all range or all ground

south spindle
#

thats like 2 or 3 stages

rapid junco
#

Ch 9 don't have Patrik waa

#

You meant Mandragora?

south spindle
#

they aren't up to Mandra yet

cyan gorge
#

I vaguely remember 9-14, I think I knocked pillars down to funnel everything to left side and killed everything with aoe

steel prairie
sullen rover
#

wheres patriot in 914

south spindle
#

you described like 2 or 3 stages of the entire chapter

steel prairie
south spindle
#

that involve choosing ranged or melee

#

Theres atleast 20 stages

steel prairie
misty fossil
#

isnt it more like how you choose to play out the stage

steel prairie
#

also wtf 20 stages ???

rapid junco
cyan gorge
#

That's the average

south spindle
#

more than 20 with H stages for sure

steel prairie
rapid junco

steel prairie

😭

rapid junco

Like I say. Idk who his dpsrealmad

elder flume
#

might wana kill him

rapid junco
#

No borrow make his live harder

steel prairie
tidal sedge
#

Oh, the Chalter stage πŸ₯Ή

south spindle
#

Maybe you can still figure something out

cyan gorge
south spindle
#

You can definitely still beat it

rapid junco
#

They not suited for the stagehishimiDeadInside

south spindle
#

Maybe wanna time it

#

Well if they wanna get better they should try to push the limit

sullen rover
#

i think exec solos right and u just bait the burn zzz

steel prairie
south spindle
#

they dont have exec

sullen rover
#

borrow one

south spindle
#

uh no the operator

#

well the point is to improve using own units

#

they're not necessarily stuck they just got to it more experimenting to be done

#

yeah easy way out is borrow

sullen rover
rapid junco
#

Logos s1 with burn bait can solve this🀫

sullen rover
#

can muelsyse contant bait burn and his ops just chunk everything else

rapid junco
#

Nope e1 stat blobrealmad

wary shuttle
#

cant you just use jaye or something

steel prairie
#

ok nope 100% no dps gonna have to Wis it

steel prairie
#

see the main issue is that your facing against like 5 rioters at the same time

wary shuttle
#

yeah those ground tile restrictions arent favorable, what about chain caster then

cyan gorge
#

Lapp further up with a caster that isn't Lin could work

sullen rover
#

youve chunked through half the stage drop a pillar and keep going lol

cyan gorge
#

Oh yeah pillars

cyan gorge
#

just drop those on top of the rioters

steel prairie
cyan gorge
#

Jaye can 1v1 them even at e1

wary shuttle
#

are you doing a CM or some underleveled niche?

steel prairie
cyan gorge
#

He marked it, look again

sullen rover
#

drop it down dawg

#

doesnt even look like theres a dmg bottleneck there

steel prairie
sullen rover
#

can gt just kills those gargoyle

#

yeah kill them bruh

steel prairie
sullen rover
#

texas flametail chen

#

redirect ur resources after ur done with those def

steel prairie
sullen rover
#

they stun dawg

#

more time to do dmg

#

zzzzzz

#

thats all it matters

steel prairie
# sullen rover they stun dawg

ok let me redo it again to show you even with the stun... they do like 10% of the total dmg on the enemy... like I 100% garuntee you

wary shuttle
#

also, why dont you just attack the flamethrowers before they start bunching up

#

you only need to get one

sullen rover
#

flying form gargoyle isnt even tanky from memory

steel prairie
desert prairie
#

is chen s2 or s3 there?

steel prairie
#

Skadi got ready first and desperatly placed her since CHen and Blaze cant hold all of them

sullen rover
#

my god bro stun = more time to do dmg its just fucking extra dmg + extra dmg from other sources

steel prairie
wary shuttle
sullen rover
#

its literally better than letting blaze sit and do jack shit to flying

wary shuttle
#

alternatively get one low and then kill them with AOE when they bunch up

steel prairie
wary shuttle
#

you can outrange them

sullen rover
#

you dont even have a deplot slot bottle neck

steel prairie
steel prairie
cyan gorge
#

very short

#

like less than 1 tile iirc

wary shuttle
#

so just plop a caster or something down where greythroat or silence is early on

#

or any of the long range snipers on the bottommost ranged tile

steel prairie
#

actually... let me take a break on chapter 9... cause now my Amiya is ready for E2... which btw should I use this on her ???

#

is it worthy for Amiya E2 ???

wary shuttle
#

in the meta sense no but you should do it for the larp anyways

wary shuttle
#

also because her E2 costs way too many big rocks

steel prairie
#

ok

elder flume
#

thats just insta level

wary shuttle
#

in the long run its largely irelevant anyways

elder flume
#

not insta E2

#

which on Amiya is questionable

#

not like i can say much about it when i used it on Sora for stronger heals

steel prairie
final obsidian
steel prairie
#

so now Im facing Taluhah now

wary shuttle
#

its fine, its not like she's unusable, especially with module making S2 more workable

steel prairie
final obsidian
#

I used skill 2 for you

steel prairie
final obsidian
#

If you use skill 3 its much easier

#

Zuo Le mogs this stage

steel prairie
#

btw can the enemy walk over those roof pipes ???

south spindle
#

Roof pipes?

#

The transparentish tiles?

wary shuttle
#

yes

south spindle
#

Yes

steel prairie
south spindle
#

Just normal ground tiles

#

OH

#

Thats off the map

#

Lmao

steel prairie
south spindle
#

I thought you meant this lmao

steel prairie
south spindle
#

This is not placeable

steel prairie
steel prairie
#

just smaller pipes

#

but the enemy can walk thro those ?

south spindle
#

The first image i sent is placeable

steel prairie
#

oh ok ic ic

south spindle
#

2nd image is off the map

#

dawg, FAFO

#

the enemies aren't the biggest problem here

steel prairie
#

also I am assuming that Taluhah is coming from the left ???

south spindle
#

actually they're kind of an equalish threat

#

please just try the map lol

#

theres a reason devs dont even show boss pathing after a few chapters lol

steel prairie
south spindle
#

fuck around and find out

steel prairie
south spindle
#

no one gets stages first try even

#

even the best players

#

dont know what to expect because genunely dont know

wary shuttle
#

part of the experience

brisk surge
prisma elk
#

Noone ever saw CE in chapter 14 and expected whatever the fuck that was

wary shuttle
#

if you got lucky with your placements and unga bunga'd hard enough you could probably win first try

Or just true dmg idk u have to use amigos anyway

#

you DuskGun

south spindle
#

except my goat qyurii of course

elder flume
#

thats not Qyurii

prisma elk
#

I won't stop till I get that set up!!

south spindle

qyurii first tried kazfalls blind

#

and drafted mountain

#

my goat

elder flume
#

oh you meant previous Qyurii run RedOmegaLul

brisk surge
#

he did draft monten

south spindle
#

oh did qyurii have an incident

elder flume
#

nah i just thought you meant Max since hes here with Qyurii on his name

prisma elk
south spindle
#

oh no lmao

#

thats why max's name is that

#

of course i know who max is ughpeepo

brisk surge
#

i dont lose kaz falls joe_mad

south spindle
#

you lose to femboys yes yes

nocturne cove
#

Kaz fall is so free

#

Ngl

south spindle
#

its free after you realize how it works

nocturne cove
#

The only stage I hate are the ones that are aoe check

south spindle

just first encounter

I don't draft wisadel and my guard options are shit

ye ive imagined it happening before

only mistake ive gotten so far is Barge 5

prisma elk
elder flume
#

ye

#

i always put Karlan Model on rightmost

prisma elk
elder flume
#

its order is
Meteor Kazi File > Andreana AH File > bunch of ops with double upgraded items to remove from pool > Meteor dupe > Meteor dupe > Karlan File > Karlan Model

prisma elk
elder flume
#

such as what

#

you mean duping herz?

prisma elk
elder flume
#

only 3 Files can exist in squad
by using Andreana on it you remove the chance for AH File to appear

prisma elk
#

Or advised only around when you've already have enough funds and you're already searching for equipment

steel prairie
elder flume
#

i have infinite money
an extra 1-4 gold is nothing lol when i can remove a couple items permanently from appearing

#

ye you dont do this when youre low on gold

prisma elk
#

Ohh, gotcha, I only ever go around 90 funds since it's already more than enough for me to game test some set ups so I don't go as far as you do

prisma elk
#

I'll go read it once I wake up I need to go to bed im selling the wrong ops now left and right lmao

elder flume
#

maybe i should add do not buy any other equipment until you reach twenty gold for safety

steel prairie
#

how the hell are we suppose to know where is Taluhuh is targetting ???

elder flume
#

its why they call it FAFO

sullen rover
#

normal targeting no last deployed

elder flume
#

but if you really need the knowledge go to Mapark website

#

and reading prts.wiki or arknights wiki.gg for indepth coding of enemies

atomic harness
#

ty! feels like abusing snipers was the way to go dead_dust scaling with defenderknights and abyssal hunters felt awful

steel prairie
sullen rover
#

bruh hes asking abt the pathing

#

HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO EVEN SHOOT DOWN THE FUKIN DRONE ???????

elder flume
#

Oh you met mr drone

steel prairie
#

FAFO is literally the equivalent of telling me to go jump of a microwave for real

#

you think my fcfukin brain wiht like 3 mental disorder can handle FAFO ????

#

FAFO is literally the quivalent of telling me to jump off somewhere

#

stfu

brisk surge
steel prairie
#

it literally hurts my brain for real

#

but honestly what are you even suppose to do here ?? my fukin Silence is so fukin stupid she doesnt even know how to heal herself

#

Silence is good my ass biggest lie I ever heard

#

with the longest ever cooldown on the drone

wary shuttle
#

you can either remove the burn with status res

#

or bait

steel prairie
wary shuttle
elder flume
#

Lumen Whisperain Ceylon
Actually does Ceylon even have

wary shuttle
#

as for the drone, also bait it, I believe you can get away with using amiya S3 on it and still have it up in time for taluah

#

or at least get amiya placed early so she can do a bit of chip damage on it

steel prairie
wary shuttle
#

yes

steel prairie
#

ok even besides the drones... I have to deal with these tanks... so it seems like Im gonna have to Wis it

cyan gorge
steel prairie
#

also is the fire a AOE ??? because it has like 4 tiles of effect

cyan gorge
#

the explosion is a cross shape

#

so yes

elder flume
#

She can explode them into a cross range ye

wary shuttle
#

use some defenders

steel prairie
cyan gorge
#

either bait the burn every 30 seconds or be smarter with placements

#

you learn by playing and paying attention

steel prairie
#

honestly if I see the word FAFO again Im gonna lose it for real

cyan gorge
#

but that's the best way to learn this game ReedBean

steel prairie
#

my brain just cant process this fast... literally

elder flume
#

It doesnt have to be fast

wary shuttle
#

watching challenge clears also helps tbh, you only really get brainrotted when you start dropping unga bunga units

steel prairie
#

honestly with like 0 intel its super fustrated with a hard hit ADHD brain like me

cyan gorge
#

you also develop brainrot by needing every mechanic and stage info spoonfed to you rather than taking a minute to read and pay attention

steel prairie
cyan gorge
#

Idk you that well buddy ReedBean

wary shuttle
#

I mean I would't recommend copying those 1:1, it's more the general approaches taken or something of that sort

steel prairie
#

I honestly prefer pre planning and being ready... rather than getting caught out by surprise

#

because I am very bad at adapting (super slow on it)

#

sorry I know Im fukin stupid... which is why every time I hear FAFO again Im am and will jump of a fukin microwave

cyan gorge
#

that's what practice mode is for

cedar needle
#

that's what 30 practice plans are for better_eyes

cyan gorge
#

at worst, an attempt costs you 1 sanity

cedar needle
#

and you don't have to adapt on-the-fly, just pause when you see something going wrong, then take a second to recognize what actually went wrong

steel prairie
cedar needle
#

enemy intel is also pretty decent now after the revamp, you can read up on enemy's mechanics there

#

(which does require you to fail at least once beforehand but that's better than nothing)

#

if you're not used to managing a map, pause more often

wary shuttle
#

sadly timing's gotten complex enough that I don't think there's even a way to explain

cyan gorge
steel prairie
scarlet mortar
#

this game is inevitably FAFO-oriented so idk man, at some point it might just not be for you

steel prairie
#

thats why is yell BS a lot because a lot of times it goes against the guides Im using

cedar needle
#

if you try to copy a guide 1:1 you better have nearly the same stats/levels, because otherwise the timing might be thrown off

cyan gorge
#

Idk what else to tell you man

scarlet mortar
#

guides are never replicable if you don't use the same ops, same levels etc

#

if we're using your sense of replicability

cedar needle
#

too low lvl compared to guide? your ops now die 1 hit earlier or dont have enough dps to kill enemies before they leak
too high lvl? on some maps that might push the next wave too early and/or boss phase too early

cyan gorge
#

guides can be used to learn what enemies go where and how to properly use mechanics to your advantage, you don't need to copy 1 for 1

scarlet mortar
#

don't think of guides as sth to replicate bc that's not how this works

cyan gorge
#

otherwise you gotta just play it for yourself and adapt

cedar needle
#

yea, guide is more for you to have an overall idea of how the map will play out, so you can "come with a plan and be prepared" as you said it

steel prairie
cedar needle
#

you still can't "never adapt" in AK though, that just won't work

steel prairie
#

a lot of the time even when I do look for enemy mechanics a lot of times smth new just get thrown out of the air

scarlet mortar
#

you haven't learned everything then

#

that's observation diff

cyan gorge
#

That's the kind of game it is, your choices are adapt or die

steel prairie
cedar needle
#

also, play on 1x if you have trouble at 2x

steel prairie
cedar needle
#

if 1x is still too fast the next step is to pause often, especially when something goes wrong, so you have time to process what's going on

#

recording your own gameplay also helps but that might be going a bit too far

steel prairie
#

but honestly a lot of levels are giving me suicide thoughts literally... because Im this fukin stupid

wary shuttle
#

take a break

cyan gorge
steel prairie
#

and honestly telling me to get "spoonfed" literally worsened it... because I know Im fukin stupid ... I already failed at adapting things irl already... dont tell me I cant even do it here

scarlet mortar
#

just pause more

#

frankly bullet time and pausing are more manageable than 1x

#

once you're more used to the game you can 2x the monotonous parts of the map and use bullet time when new enemies/bosses appear

buoyant bone
#

Hi, any tips about core protocol hard mode? It's so hard

steel prairie
#

ok but honestly I dont wanna hear FAFO again... I just wanna be prepared... this game is already hard enough even on standard because of how much hassle it is to re prepare again and change your strats

elder flume
#

Can we compile all core strats into 1 message
I might do that later just so its easier to direct these questions

elder flume
elder flume
steel prairie
steel prairie
elder flume
#

Or Kyo and Ecko vids cuz they narrate them

#

Most likely if its a mechanic you should know then they will talk about it

cedar needle
#

Since all the detailed stats are there: at which timestamp the enemy spawns, how much is their hp/def, how fast they move

steel prairie
maiden hound
#

Simply datamine.

smoky blaze
#

What are you guys cooking here? PodencoSip

elder flume
#

Huh does wiki not do that

#

Im used to PRTS but its in Chinese so not a lot of people read it

smoky blaze
#

Prts tells you the game mechanic

#

Ye

elder flume
#

I thought wiki is just EN ver of PRTS

smoky blaze
#

Prts also have en translation

smoky blaze
maiden hound
#

Too bad wiki.gg doesn't have virtual gambling though.

steel prairie
#

the wiki just have basic information

#

PRTS has way more detail... but still missing some like enemy attack patterns and enemy effects... etc

#

and kind of clunky

steel prairie
maiden hound
#

Not when you're not flaunting.

steel prairie
smoky blaze
elder flume
#

I just use what data they have to find out about silly things like Patriot resets phase 2 if he survives for 9999s

steel prairie
elder flume
#

Mapark should have it under attack range

#

And under that is coding for if its splash with detailed tile number

#

Or maybe they use the word radius

smoky blaze
#

You mean enemy attack range? Otherwise why do you even need info about the enemy hitboxes?

#

Care to share maybe?

steel prairie
#

but I dont find the cross hit on the map

#

or any info of it

elder flume
#

Info about enemy skills are either in PRTS or Aceship

smoky blaze
#

Uhh thats just her skill burning breath my lads. It target two of your last deploy ops

elder flume
#

If you dont see it in PRTS then most likely youre in the wrong ver e.g. youre viewing npc not enemy or wrong stage or its a stage effect not enemy effect etc

steel prairie
#

not a cross fire effect ???

elder flume
#

The cross is for when they are already burned

#

Forgot if she only targets 1 in that stage or 2

#

But she targets last deployed to burn them > then explode them into a cross shape seconds after

steel prairie
south spindle
#

pretty sure all abilities are on wiki at the very least

smoky blaze
#

It targets two of your last deploy ops BreezeHappy
I dont remember anything about the cross fire effect.

steel prairie
#

but I did do the dps calculation and its definetly not enough (not even close)

south spindle
#

JT8-3?

steel prairie
steel prairie
south spindle
#

Oops ruined the surprise

#

lol

cedar needle
#

JT8-2 doesn't seem to do cross fire

#

Also only targets 1 op with the burn

steel prairie
smoky blaze
south spindle
#

No the burn is two operators

steel prairie
#

because I placed Lin and CHen next to each other and both caught on fire

south spindle
#

wait

#

nvm

#

wrong talulah let me recheck

brisk surge
#

welcome back light

south spindle
#

it shouldn't be two at once

#

its 30 seconds with 19 second cool down

cedar needle
#

The burn takes really long to wear off by itself so if she uses the skill a second time you can get 2 burning ops

south spindle
smoky blaze
#

Burning breath deals dot to your units (idr the numbers) and it last for 30s iirc.
After that is done. She will cast another one soon after.
Still targetting the last two deploy ops

elder flume
#

Ye detonate shows range but not for that stage

steel prairie
smoky blaze
#

So to cheese it. You can find her burning breath timing and deply gravel + yato and let them take the burning breath. Then immediately retreat them.
Thats how I did back then with gladia chen carry LappKek

elder flume
#

Its JT8-3 Talulah which is later

smoky blaze
south spindle
#

they're on JT8-2

steel prairie
south spindle
#

PRTS wiki

elder flume
#

PRTS indeed

steel prairie
cedar needle
#

Yea I just tested in game, JT8-2 only burns 1 op per cast

south spindle
#

PRTS wiki is white by default...

smoky blaze
steel prairie
#

ok now ic

smoky blaze
#

Different mom same dad LappKek

cedar needle
#

Eblanani's advice still applies tho, bring a fast redeploy and retreat them as soon as they get burnt

Fast redeploy has 18s redeployment cd, burn is 19s, so you can bait all burn with 1 fast redeploy

Bring 2 fast redeploys if you are afraid you mistime their retreats

steel prairie
#

thoo... is there anyway to google translate PRTS tho ?

cedar needle
#

What rain showed was google translate I believe?

elder flume
#

My phone can auto translate but my laptop cant

steel prairie
steel prairie
smoky blaze
#

Prts have a setting to turn everything into eng rain

cedar needle
#

Wiki.gg is English
Prts is CN that you can google translate
Mapark is... it kinda has English support?

smoky blaze
#

Three bars on the left and scroll down

elder flume
#

When i turned it to English it just translates the UI but not the chinese texts themselves hmm

#

Will show later

#

Im on bus

smoky blaze
#

It takes a while usually

south spindle
#

Wait it translates everything for you on mobile?

elder flume
#

Ye mobile supremacy

steel prairie
south spindle
#

Wtf

#

I just opened on my phone its true

smoky blaze
brisk surge

just read mandarin light

You will find some funny translation tho

steel prairie
smoky blaze
steel prairie

but regardless my unit does not have enough dps (and not enough hp) to survive most late game chapters

south spindle
#

even forgetting the very few kanji i learned

steel prairie
#

to the point that I did.... uhhh jumped

elder flume
#

When you learned 5 languages but kept using all of them together in the same sentence accidentally

steel prairie
smoky blaze
#

Hmm.. do you guys thinking on other languages when you master more than 2 languages?

yes... tho I didnt master any languages

Redeploying roadblocks

elder flume
#

Redeploying will make them walk far yes

#

This setup is pretty far

cedar needle
#

You make them walk almost to the blue box
Retreat one roadblock on the other side of blue box, and block their current route
They now have to walk across the map to get to that other side
Rinse and repeat

dusky hawk
#

I’m about to try the point of no return

#

Also where should I put things

steel prairie
#

like 14 ?

dusky hawk
eternal rapids
#

That's IS

steel prairie
#

oh

#

btw so it seems like Amiya changes to her sword unit automatically after 8-2.. but does that mean we no longer have caster Amiya ???

dusky hawk
#

Huh? I’ve done 8-2 and idk what ur talking abt

desert prairie
#

youre screwed btw

elder flume
#

You can switch between classes in operator

desert prairie
#

you have nothing to deal with the boss

dusky hawk
dusky hawk
desert prairie
#

boss have 50% dodge

eternal rapids
#

Can't they just bait out the teleport and pray Wis burst phantom down

desert prairie
#

3 wis shot only deal like less than half

#

unless they have cracked relic

elder flume
#

Its fine
Wis does too much damage that if 1 hits its going to deal a lot

desert prairie
#

i hope they dont have to 2 cycle

eternal rapids
#

Boss breaks roadblock and might die to leak

desert prairie
#

how much hp do you have?

#

depends how much hp they have

dusky hawk
#

4

desert prairie
#

maybe left can be ignored, right side gets killed by redeployed SA and a blocker

#

hmm

elder flume
#

Wis on Pozy spot face right to nuke boss early is good

desert prairie
#

yeah youre screwed

#

they have pozy?

elder flume
#

The usual Pozy spot

desert prairie
#

oh pozy spot

elder flume
#

I dont have map open so i cant really tell where

#

Its not like its A15 anyway

desert prairie
elder flume
#

Thats not Pozy spot RedOmegaLul

desert prairie
#

eeee

elder flume
#

Nanashi fell fr

desert prairie
#

i usually schwarz there

#

and it looks gud for type

elder flume
#

The spot that allows Pozy to immediately attack Phantom while being safe

desert prairie
elder flume
#

When he spawned

#

Ye

dusky hawk
#

I lost 😭 I killed everyone but 1 person 😦

elder flume
#

1 to the left of that prob

desert prairie

i hate this spot since some shots get redirected to clowns

#

but eh

#

its wis

dusky hawk
#

What is the best starting thing?

Oh well Kyostin uploaded

elder flume

He did normal?

south spindle

S-5 normal and CM

oak sedge
#

is there an easy way to beat JT8-3

south spindle
elder flume
#

NG or Logos S3

#

Shu also good

oak sedge
#

who's NG

elder flume
#

Nightingale

south spindle
#

Nightingale

oak sedge
#

don't have her, ill try borrowing logos

south spindle
#

-# you didnt see that edit

#

Logos S3

#

Slows down projectiles

elder flume
#

You want the skill to end right as all fireballs are done firinh

south spindle
#

Yeah so just activate it a little early

#

Right as phase begins

#

And you might want to also use a FDR to just eat some of the fire balls

elder flume
#

Contrail can avoid fireballs but who would need such knowledge

south spindle
#

Really? OMEGALUL Crazy tech

#

Will gravel be able to take multiple fireballs after logos slows them down?

elder flume
#

E1 Gravel prob tanks 3 if the first hit is immediate

#

4 actually

south spindle
#

I was hoping she could just eat a bunch (7-8) at once but guess not

steel prairie
#

uhhh so how am I suppose to beat this ??? also it seams like she can target 3 Ops

south spindle
#

Logos or Nightingale

elder flume
#

Well we are talking about it rn

south spindle
#

Read up a little

maiden hound
#

This is a year 2 stage, you can even beat it with year 2 operators.

brittle mesa
#

What you think about this for city 66?

south spindle
#

Uh might need a few more operators... but Ascalon is pretty useful

elder flume
#

Scavenger out
Why only 6 ops

south spindle
#

But E1 Lvl 20 hard to say how good

elder flume
#

You want a pusher for top lane

brittle mesa
#

I’ll also borrow thorns

elder flume
#

Tldr JT8-3 ignore Talulah and keep baiting 2 burns until she goes next to blue box where you can block and do damage

#

Be prepared for funi fireball when she dies

steel prairie
#

how am I suppose to bait... do I retreat when she about to do the cross fire ???

cedar needle
#

Deploy baits
See them get burnt
Immediately retreat
Redeploy them again as soon as their redeployment cd is up

civic bear
#

You bait the attack where she light up two units

desert prairie
civic bear
#

The cross attack only explode burnt target

#

But if you bait properly then the only burnt op are the one tanking her hits

desert prairie
#

send your availablle ops

#

there has to be a combination to beat talu

thick kiln
#

Hello which module good for chen?

final obsidian
#

Mod X

south spindle
#

I hope you haven't already built her and are just asking ahead of time

#

πŸ˜…

thick kiln
#

I already e2 her

#

Can't decide which is mostly use for her module

south spindle
#

Welp if you got nothing better to do

#

ModX

#

If you have other operators uh would prob prio them first

thick kiln
#

The Rhodes island module? The sp recovery?

final obsidian
#

Ye

south spindle
#

If you joined this server when you started playing you probably have better things to level
But if you just like her for the character by all means

thick kiln
#

Ok thankyou very much β™₯️

steel prairie
#

I did 2 baits but she ended up doing 3 burns... smth is not right

#

even checked Kyos video and Im somehow getting 3 burns

elder flume
#

Any chance for you to record?

#

When Talu swings her sword it will burn the ground op she hits

#

So thats +1

#

And if she detonates and theres an op in the cross then the burn spreads

#

The 2 burn is 19s cooldown
Im guessing you retreated the 2 burnt frd too late that when you redeploy them again its past another 19s so she only counts 1 rdp as last deployed and the other rdp is too late to be targeted

#

But without recording i cant conclude

astral cosmos
#

yes but I didn't buy them

steel prairie
#

is there anyone else thats fast as Gavel on redeply ???

astral cosmos
#

phantom with IS mod teknikali has like 5s rdp time for his clone if he constantly hits WSmug

brittle mesa
#

What you think about this for city 66? I’ll also borrow Mudrock

#

I’m also thinking to upgrade Ifrit to E2 and specialize her S2 to M3. Though is that how unnecessary?

keen gull
#

U can brrw e2 ascalon bro she straight up solo the middle

maiden hound
steel prairie
#

ok on 8-3 I have a bigger problem... which melee Ops can deal with these bastards ?

rich plover
#

What's the timing of Lappland using her drones in PV EX 8 (CM)?

slim wyvern
#

Three block ops with AoE like centurions would be ideal since they tend to spawn at the same time as the dogs which can cause potentially leaks with anything lower.

rich plover
#

Reapers can be good

rich plover
#

If we talking 4*

#

Yato is also technically a fast redeploy

maiden hound
#

(both of them)

rich plover
#

Crownslayer can be used (lol, lmao even)

#

A bit more expensive, but usable

#

When do I bait out Lappland's drone attacks?

dawn citrus
#

Yall. If I sub Kroos here with Lappland, it'll work just the same, right?

astral cosmos
#

nvm i figured s 5 cm out with kal

#

Wtf is that a bug

#

Why did the truck go through

elder flume
#

What truck

south spindle
#

they deleted; was posted in help

#

it was E1 lappland

#

and the -1 block indicator was really hard to see so i thought it was bugged

elder flume
#

Ye E1 wants P5

south spindle
#

24% downtime

#

rip

elder flume
#

Some things will slow and fast Lapp attackd

#

Forgot what it was

#

Oh it was S2 on 2 targets

#

Doing melee attacks on S2 is faster

south spindle
#

huh interesting was not aware

elder flume
#

Ye with ranged on 2 enemies you have to use projectile

#

If shes blocking 1 with another in range then she does melee and it turns into hitscan

#

Removing projectile travel

I'm in need if help on pv s5

#

Sometimes my unit ded, other times I don't have enough dps

#

My krooster btw

south spindle
fair estuary
#

Wisandel

south spindle
#

Ah I suppose that works but if units are dying just Eyjalter it

#

The tricky part of this stage is balancing timing

fair estuary
#

Me no have enough damage when use eyja alter

south spindle
#

You want to make the fireworks die as lappland jumps to your units

#

You definitely have enough damage Mlynar Ela Surtr definitely delete Lappland P2 in one cycle

shell arch
south spindle
#

P1 is non issue do however speed

#

Come vc if you wanna be backseated into doing this fast

fair estuary
south spindle
fair estuary
#

I mean move

south spindle
#

So that lappland jumps infront your firing squad as the carnival ends

fair estuary
#

Can someone show me the rotation?

south spindle
#

Mlynar surtr Ela S3

#

Uh so you see the 5 middle undeployables? black/yellow tiles that form a triangle

#

She starts at like the top middle one

#

and goes counter clockwise

#

you want to delay the carnival from dying until shes at the bottom right

#

so she jumps to top right and you blast her with everyone

#

you only get 20 seconds of reduction down

fair estuary
#

Also should I swap one of them? Yat alter or tex alter?

south spindle
#

You don't need honey berry

#

or Gravel or Lappland or Spot

fair estuary
#

What about Yat alter and tex alter?

south spindle
#

Keep texalt

fair estuary
#

Dump Yat alter?

south spindle
#

Ye

#

S2 texas

#

take Ela and Surtr

fair estuary
#

Like this?

south spindle
#

This stage is just about tweaking your plan little by little

#

Idk how much chalter will do tbh range is a little awkward hm

wooden blaze
#

Man, I really hate the PV-S-5.

#

It took me 2 days to beat it and cm stage.

#

The timing was big problem I had.

south spindle
#

its not that bad after you figure out how it works

#

it is a timing thing

#

P2 is the hard part but the important thing is just abusing immortality and

#

blocking the fire dancers at a distance and control the carnival dying

wooden blaze
#

Nah, those weren't even problem for me.

south spindle
#

like stop them from killing the carnival too fast

shell arch
#

Yeah PV-S-5 is quite hard to afk. Can't imagine the normal, non rarity abuse clear for that stage

I was just having problem killing Lappland before she exist.
