Yes
My friends told me to use it on whoever
Ch 12 was much worse imo
I also had the anniversary voucher 5*
I used it on specter the E2
and from the anniversary voucher i was told to "choose who you like"
and i choose Cantabile off E2 art
π¬
You do π
Thats the thing
In ch13 i actually got to the boss level in adverse
My Ego is very tiny

the cantabile was actually best thing to happen
Ya
You accidentally E2'd a good unit
Ohhh
E2 specter carried me through cuoraless Chapter 10
My ego is huge and thats no secret π€£
Well I think that applies to everything. If you undersell yourself, you are demotivated to do that something
my gacha luck is kind of really good
Man, I respect the no support thing, new players nowadays won't know the initial struggle of getting your very first e2 lmao, even more so an e2 6 star, but I guess IS do existed then so it was easier but still was a challenge lmao
Tbh my ego is not that tiny but its just enough
The only pulls I did when I was new was 10 pull on Typhon Saileach
π
I E2 pramanyx Highmore Firewatch Whisperain Robin
I got P2 Typhon lmao
Give me back my fckin tears tbh
Newbies nowadays start with E2 shit
And thats good. You are not human if you have no ego tbh.
Buuttt, dont harm others with it
Thats my principle
I didn't like pepe or narantuya so i didn't pull
free chalter jump started my addiction of this game

this is the way
Understood, be an Obnoxious Narcissist 
Frrr, remember when modules required 100 trust as well just for the level 1 module? I spent fr like months getting my Ling to e2 then spent another month just for the module lmao
use ego to agressively power creep yourself
Ifkr
I had this No support policy for like a whole year until i got to the point i just got tired of "hey u DONT HAVE GNOSIS? Take these fish" EX stages
my no support policy went out the window when i realized there were 20 annihilations
worth 50 pulls
just rotating
gnosis out of all ops π₯Ή

Kekw
and oh god i wanted them chip catalysts and mats so badly
Bro like if i knew any other character who could actually frozen on command by that time
Edelweiss is a dashing lad ya 
I personally never used support units, up until I asked for Socks mostima in IS and stronghold happened, but outside of that I never borrowed one still
Stultifera Navis?
I just used E1 Lappland there
That's honestly fair enough since it's not like you'll clear them again anyways
Oh god ye, then the CC2 fish level, and then there was the fish annihilation, and then i rly started asking how much fish this game has
I think my choices on beginner vouchers were dog shit other than cantabile
To this day i havent beated the Stultifera S stages
i chose project red 
What the actual f was that
I chose firewatch bcz she was my early game waifu
Hey rechord, hows your badskillknights account? Have you played stronghold with that niche of yours?
I chose Pred too
An offrate?!?
Time to ss all my bad E1+ units?? Lesgooo
if i didn't get it i don't know if i would have locked in this hard on this game
Impossible!!! Yea no lmao I offrate all the time but damn chalter offrate as a beginner dayyum
i haven't opened it in months
I actually E1d a bunch this week for base
she felt odd to use, but Typhon def carried me through some bits
I ignore thats something i should do
I am the poverty
Typhoon is definitely someone I would love to have eventually, afknights s2 is just mwa, chefs kiss*
Tifon is good ya
yeah she felt really good
S3 is very niche tho
but her range was so awkward lmao
i did not know about Krooster or Tequila
so i was playing guards + typhon
no defenders
decent medics ptilopsis and warfarin my goats
no arts damage
which annihilation operation do I do after chernobog and lungmen outskirts
but typhon and chalter def shred crutch
Lungmen Downtown and try to get through as much of the current Annihilation as you can just to increase limit
Lungmen Downtown
Let me just find FAE's Annihilation infographic
Almost everyone used them back in the day, well technically to this day, but warf tho dayyum you have my respects, despite being only playing for a few months you belong with the people who played for years lmaoo
Myrtle with Module 
I did lungmen downtown like
10 times
before i full cleared
i was in the thick of it
π₯
could not be losing out on 25 orundum a week
That one felt ok
I disagree on Long spring wastes
That one is way harder than ppl give it credit for
Its just an Aoe Check no?
So real
Whaling couldn't be me
Issue with That one is, if u dont have Logos + u are not activelly going to #help to ask "who should i borrow", u might as well have a hard time
Its just Ethan
Have an E1 Ethan
Since its the stuff from R6 that summons stuff
They are really fragile tho
Lava and Pinecone won it for me
I also had to restart a bunch of times because of miss calculations on the stone walls
Im not lying
π₯
bro wants to leave the worst for last fr
IS3 wasn't thst bad
is4 has a steep learning curve
damn ok masochist
Is4 felt like a punch in the face for some reason
Every time i get to the last floor i feel like i rly dont have ANYTHING to deal with the enemies
i was 2 months into playing this game
was watching SGL2
π₯Ή
i had no fucking clue what was going on it was so pixealated
huh
it was all in chinese korean or japanese so i couldn't read when it wasn't pixelated
and i don't know any IS4 mechanics
there was a lungmen dragons english stream btw
yeah but they don't explan basic Is4 mechanics
they just said terms and im like

often abbrevations or things too lmao
but i learned IS4 meta
i mean they were all long time players
Also, by the way u say, i rly cannot understand some of the rankings there
Burning district easier than south prison? Theres rly absotely nothing going in south prison
Also, lungmen outskirts isnt the one with the many Turrets? Thats one of the first clears u get in Anni imo
burning district was a logos mudrock showcase 
At least u went after refs
I never searched a single thing abt ISs ever
All i do is jump in and ask why the fuck there is a W killing all my operators
Outskirts is quite sufficiently hard
i mean my only real take aways are
lungment outskirts is ass
degen goes brr on sentinel
and reedic sandwich is strong
and shu my beloved is actually meta
sufficiently more difficult than quite a lot of the permanent maps
Always is
Tbh I play is5 a lot but hated is4 for some reason
even the rotating map right now is way easier than it
i was told to just play the game off character design
Waifu Maxxing was the one that guided you kek
bro with his characters, he can play by design alone
i only talk in help for the past month
well i was told that operators are balanced in this game
and to just get good
the get good part is true
π¬
yeah
No wonder you having private time with Theacc in VC 
I mean
The characters are quite balanced
Its just that degen, wisadel and logos quite broke the scales
bro they were meeting up in vc
Theacc Professional Casanova 
Lol
And everything after
we just got together because math circle jerk
that's when theacc joined btw

at the start of the wave of good units
Shileds are you gonna stand for Theacc cheating on you smh 
bro im gonna mug theacc in harlem in a week
Funny how our experience differs
The ones i struggled the most are down easy, the ones i beat with ease r considered hard
Kinda bored and just pulled 40x on kernel banner πππ.aim for shamare but got Saga instead,no shamare. Does she still worth to build ( Saga )?
nope
Nope
he told me that he wasnt a responsible adult and stopped the conversation
You wasted pulls
build cantabile, 
how old are you unc
me realizing theacc is younger than me

me too
Noooo. Wasted 40 pulls for nothing. No shamare.πππ Saga the same like vulpis right? Pioner Vanguard. So i should build vulpis instead?
You just built different now do D15 
Wtf is a mold remover?
i blue certed shamare
Vulpis >>>> Saga
Schimmelentferner
Vulpis is more important ya
there's mold remover and mold killer. i bought a mold remover because i already aired out the mold when i went on vacation
I would need guidance for i never searched for any tips on ISs so i just play as i think its right (it certainly isnt)
Sometimes I forget I'm talking to people older than me in this server
I really need shamare for my base. Thats why. Such a Shame i didn't got her. π
Vulpis way better than saga?
not even close
i've heard people say they are comparable
She's the 2nd Best Vanguard so ya
I am in that limbo of 200 blue certs
Too much to waste and too few to buy anything
idk ask satori
They delusional
i dont have saga
The gap is massive
I know graphs aint everything but
saga uses s2 no?
that gap you can't make up
Way way way better, Saga is way better than Seige, Vulpis is way wayyy better, but it's not like meta game breaking good, she's just really good in the pioneer archetype, like the best one in that archetype actually
thats why i graphed both
oh im blind
Saga S2 is the blue line
Oh another thing. I have ines pot 0 S2 M3 S3M1.should i M3 her S3 too?
Ummmm no
You would rarely use it but even if you do use it you would rarely need the mastery
S3 is for people who know what they are doing aka the D15 or High CC fellas
S2 is usually enough
i missed the glory days it seems
We have CC in RA 
Even s1m3 is a bit overkill since you would rarely use it, since I only personally use it with stainless in Anni stages
ya cc is slop now
agents with punching bag and ceobe food

man
i should start a niche
HG should bring back DoS
with the 5k+ def enemy on all of them cuz why not
Design of Strife, had one of the best side modes imo
I see. Btw i just lvl up my exalter E2 lvl 60 S3 M3 module lvl 2( cuz his morale is 50 atm ). My question is why he so weak? Cant even handle magic type middle class enemies. Die so fast π
Tldr: Boss was a pain to beat, buffs was basically debuffs and boss had 3 or so paragraphs for skills
Makes me think of that Coop ice games event
I rly enjoyed That one
Its gonna return
He isn't
I wonder if there was an actual coop hard asf gamemode
Do my niche
it's called braindeadknights 
Your objective is to not let him get hit by ranged stuff
im 4 months, brain dead is all i run
He doesn't heal normally
but you know how nice it felt
to beat the s stages by myself
π₯Ή
the last s stages were pepe event and it was the week i started the game
could not beat EX stages even with borrow
One cope I do have since I also missed Ela cuz I took a break before her release, is that R6 is probably the most likely super limited to rerun, cuz it's still a game that keeps updating and has a lot of fans
(skill issues)
I missed Mon Hun
that is a cope alright
Tbh I just used Ethan s1 that event to beat every stage
monster hunter is the most likely rerun ngl
Had one of the best tp operators and meta ops and I missed it
Pepe EX and S stages forced me to google tutorials
I was 1 week into playing the game, I had to ling everything
Oh yea fr Mon hun having new games still is valid cope
I see. Somehow i feel. he's kinda weak compared to my mountain E2 lvl 30 S2M3 with no module π . Now IM think to lvl up hoederer. Should i btw?
my friends who got me into the game are a little unc status
no one told me wisadel existed yet
so i had to ling micromanage dp everything in pepe event
what is your roster?
Tbh the least likely one is probably Dun Meshi, cuz I think it's already done and no one else could get added at all
My friends who made me inti this game p much had everything already
I was running alone and most of my struggles were jokes for them
Wait. Lemme take a quick SS first

π¬ yeah pretty much
and now 4 months in i realize the one i looked up to is a fraud and unc
mostly just unc who refuses to build new operators
Exalt basically can't handle any ranged enemies because he can't be healed normally also no unless you like IS5
holy based unc
I found this game by myself when Chalter was the most broken thing then actually played when Ling released
its pretty funny
i still use surtr quite often
chalter borken so real
was like 3 years ago
i just dont like some units, wisadel is one of them. i got her instead of logos who i would've built mind you
Tbh the one who recommended to play AK is a 3 year old player and I'm better than them 
One day i was struggling hard and then they said "dude, borrow my Mountain"
"Now u see the enemy red box? place him there"
-"but, but-"
"Just do it"
Yea I feel old now lmao, despite only being 16, unfortunately no job no extra allowance so I can't afford monthly card
did it work?
Yes
honestly just dont question braindead strats
it be like that
i just wonder if in 4 years
He actually soloed the level
i will also be senile and still holding onto my logos
tis fine lol
That day
My mind opened
Btw i lost my old account. And playing again from march 25
Narantuya gameplay lesgoooo
Honestly solid af for a 2-3 month old account damn
Bro no way u havent spent a cent here
proviso e2 this early thou
My account after 2-3 months of playing back then was just a Ling e2 with module and no one else built lmao
your options are basically hoederer, vulpis, and lin. i dont think you are in dire need of any one of them but all 3 would be nice
My acc was literally just degenbrecher 
I literally suicided myself in IS4 just to get the materials to E2 her before chapter 7
entire army right there
is there still a way to get cuora for beginners?
i think after doing pepe event with ling carry i wanteed to spark ling
recruit
which tags?
Pulling and recruitment
unfortunately no specific combo
Defense survival ig
ok
try to spam defender
Im not sure
Oh alr then
its cuz im tryna beat ls-5 and basically all tuts need her
try finding alternatives
you always dont have to follow the guides 1/1
gummy maybe, dont have her either
cuora instead of gummy start is insane
for is5 gummy start is atleast used
She's my queen, I use her often when I need a break from being a brain dead doktah, fun to play w her without any guides, it's fun trying to solo a stage w her
this is in the context for is5 btw
@dark mantle can you confirm
Currently at S2M3 S3M3, wanna S1M3 soon using free upgrade from is 5. I really like her
is e1 gladiia wortg ut?
Does my account look like a whale account or not really?
I sparked to try an offrate in this lapp banner
I failed miserably
how old
P9 lappland

i got 75 gold certs
I offrated Texalter
God even ur phone can hold more units in the screen than average
Around 3 years but plays on and off
not whel, its just pure progression
if you've been consistent you would have probably have 100 E2s by now
Lucky
Yea fr I should really build my base
how tf
I never bothered to commit an actual set up I just let it run even with 0 sanity ops lmao
even tourney has more gummy start > cuora start
Nope. Not a single cent. But i'm thinking to buy monthly card cuz i aim for yuu and prepare to spark for W on next Anni after yu
then that is tourney perspective
its for fresh start perspective, like a new account
Naw, thats my progress tho 
literally doesnt change anything
cuora is gonna die from necrosis before she gets jack shit
? how did necrosis get in this topic..
good progress
I think i wanna go with hoederer first i guess
1,9 years
CN Is5 has more necrosis??
Im planning on starting to spend a part of my allowance on monthly cards knowing that I've already played for so long and that it's only 5 dollars a month, which is like, any other subscription nowadays
There's some annoying necrosis yes
Wish 5 dollars in my currency were such a candy price
is5 has enough necrosis to make it a relevant argument already, why CN
no one's preventing you to
Roll back the convo
It's still a hefty price for my country, since it's SEA region, but i can save like 5β of it everyday I go to school so every month I can get enough
no, you just pick gummy
Pretty sure it was sarcasm, but maybe i misunderstood 
Guys, for TP base combo. Provisio,maitomaru,hoederer or provisio, quartz,hoederer? for TP lvl 3
thank you dalao
like even if you didn't raise gummy as a new player u do the classic triple borrow
Finally figured out the most reliable way to reach infinite waves, after days of sleepless night wanting to kms for messing up the set I think I finally got it lmao
Stronghold for context
? well matoi is 30% and quartz is 34% so i think it's pretty clear
What base skills do you specifically combo with Proviso?
anything that has high eff
Yeah nothing more than raw prod %
So efficiency over like more slots or something like that?
yeah, iirc she's better for tp lv2
She affect every order in tp2
Ohh that makes sense, I'mma go actually fix my base now, I feel like it's a wake up call to actually build my base so I can build more ops on my account for fun lmao
Thanks for the info
So Quartz order acquisition efficiency 2% work with proviso skill?
Sure, quartz is just 30% +2% per factory recipe
In the end she's just a 34% worker in most cases
Kinda confused btw
real ones use hoe + ines 
Of course.ines at reception room
I just lack W and W'alter π
By the order efficiency displayed ?
Proviso actual efficiency is not taken into account by the game, but you have 40% and 34%
Here is the efficiency for 2 30%
Tis 40, but it is indeed pretty good
Ah, i see
Thanks for the info mate
For 252 base, its better TP lvl 2 proviso? Or lvl 3?
Her relative value is higher in a lv2 tp ya
Tp Lvl2 if you don't have the good Tp lvl3 teams for Proviso
I see. Quartz and hoederer good enough? I wanna E2 tequila and Bena for tequila combo, since i don't have shamare and bibeak yet
Ummm teq team useless without Shamare
Basically don't bother
45 gold cert for a better base!!!!!
ORDER NOW
Quartz and Hoe is good enuf but I recommend Tp Lvl2 for Proviso
Don't tease me, i'll buy Fia 
Nooooo πππ thats why i spend 40 pulls on kernel. But got no shamare. Only got nearl,blue poison,croissant and saga π
What's the issue
most likely i dont understand 9/10 of the terms
Limited brain capacity
Such a shame i choose adreanna to appear on the store. Fool me

If you were a bit more specific i could help you 
look at who i got on my level 20 acc
I need pulls, i got fcked on lappy banner
π³
Me too. Did 180 pulss only got 3 6 stars. Lappy,texalter and vulpis π₯²
Yup. All pity. Arknight banner pity is 60 pulls right?
thats rly it
i dont know what "252" means, how to check it, nor why would a tp2 be better than t3, nor i remember the base effects of that many operators in this game to be able to keep a conversation about base
i just maxxed every building and placed the ops i think did better
and i feel they arent good enough
oh shit i replied to the wrong guy
^
#r-i-i-c has people and links in pins for base
but for some it just has become a muscle memory
like you already know what pairs with purestream combo
2 tp, 5 facs, 2 pp
i dont remember what my purestream did but shes somewhere there
Gold slave
gold (40%)
Tp Lvl2 is better for proviso because she activates her base skill more often
Sure, i did like 293 pulls before lappy deigned to greet my account 
Should have sparked smh
Alright, thanks for the info guys. Wanna go back grinding is5 for free skill upgrade voucher. 5 lvl more
the last 7 were free most likely
Got a spalter with it 
die
i got lapp2 from
the free 10...
this shit luck will come back at me in Orienteering #2
I got Texalter from the free, for some reason
reminds me i got Ela from the free 10's, only rolls i had in that banner
Free pulls truly are OP huh...
Btw do y'all think I can finish 2 monthly cards if I buy one next month for Yu banner?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14WzOA_cNpvG_PCHrtpxBgBpQWh4I1_TRgFPqk12W_lo/edit#gid=0
Make a copy of this doc, and fill it bit by bit
Should help you quite a lot to make a functionnal base
Else you can check this one, i did it for a newbie a few hours ago
It sure isn't optimal, but it's pretty achievable with only common ops
#help message
I got Flametail to E2 and it helps A LOT... but who should I E2 next ??? there is too many of them needed to be E2
oh u are that guy who maxxed Ch'en before anything
i believe Zuo Le is the most gamechaging out of them all
but ask in #help
Zuo
That team is haphazard
i know
Why are there so many guards
I visit sometimes
What did you do π₯
tldr bro wants to be spoonfed every stage and i got fed up π¬
I'm almost about to win Foundation Protocol but I'm wondering how to deal with this?
There's also another Gravel Alter as well but she's hidden since I didn't purchase a free elite unit yet
I got Elite Defender Set on Horn that can buff the Defenders but I'm not sure if it'll work since I don't have enough Defenders, at most 3 but not 6
Team very messy
Ummm just hope for the best ig
foundation?
Yes, Foundation
No
Its Easy is Entry
Foundation is Normal
Core is Hard
damn I played too much core ig
I'm in Round 14 so not sure if I'll make it
i think most of us play core
Ya
I only played core cuz normal mode gets killed way too fast
Mod1 is nice because the sanctuary on soloblades but the talent upgrade is so little 
like you can also play AH or karlan or sniper and it work with the preset ops
I don't feel like I hit that endgame comp I am lookin for
got it ty 
but usually I am not actually in favor of scalin difficulty up cuz enemies just become hp sponges who 1 tap ops
and that kind of difficulty method is unappealing
anyone tried naran in stronghold, if I have 2 of her on field, does she steals 500atk/400def in total from the same enemy?
lookin at this it seems like an easy win
Ardanis and Sator did I think
just remember to put mon3tr on the field
efficiency at killing things since I often get stalled out with defenders
tho is there anyway to heal him ??? is he unable to be healed ???
e2 90 chen 
Its pretty unnecessary
its my wife ok...
ehhh... my encounters say otherwise
use him properly 
He really doesn't need healing
initially he is very good but at a sustained fight or swarm he will die very quickly
you actually dont want him to be healed so you can trigger the atkspd sp recover increase talent
Which lane should Mon3tr go? In the middle lane where Jesselton is or at the top lane?
Your Zuo Le is just pitifully weak
probably against jesselton
ik but once the shield is off he is a sitting duck... especially when its a swarm
You have no mod
it's e1 zuo
He's not even E2
he doesn't even have s3
is he required to have one to be good ?
Well yes
most of my characters are not E2
almost every op needs e2 to be good
It gives 25% Dmg Reduction and boosts his Sp Talent
yeah... and the grind is painful
some of them get e2
Makes his skills be spammable
Your Skadi and Chen isn't gonna do much dmg at all
stop there
ik that
Only the highest effect apply, so it's still the same maximum
its the best I got
also I need her arts dmg
it's not technically a bad thing
Dreadnoughts sucks
bruh
Use an actual arts dps
u will be better technically at the game while clearin with bad units
bold to assume I have one
there is a character called rockrock ??? not mudrock ???
like they can only get atk/def stolen by 1 of her? even if the mob get hit by both?
skadi and chen were year 1 bad
u r usin them at y6 
She's a caster
y6 ???
both exist
ik... similar names might sound confusing and Im making sure its not a spelling mistake
this is the 6th year of ak
We are at Year 6 for the age of Arknights
oh for me Im less than a month in
You can also drop Muelsyse
Iirc they both get the stats, but the enemy lose only like if 1 narantuya stole them
she is not E2
dont have that clone ability... I mainly use it for dp
Even if she's E2 you still don't have any good clone materials
doesn't the clone just have the ability at e1
I still need her for dp and anti drone
or am I missremembering
Ummm you already have Texas and Flametail at E2
That's enough dp
anti drone
bruh you really think Texas is a good dp geneartor ??? she is just there temporary
Also regarding picking a free Elite unit to deal with convicts and Jesselton, should I go for Hoshiguma or Mlynar?
hoshi
mlynar ain't doin jack shit in this mode
he wastes the skill 80% of the time
She's actually good enough like she's below the Agents, Flagbearer and Vulpis
mlynar dont attack till mob moved to beside him in that game mode unless you play amiya squad 
and he implodes
... are you serious ??? really ???
she doesnt generate enough dp... especially in time
texas s2
Texas has been used in alot of Dp starve Contingency Contracts ya
She's CC tested
ppl also get mod1 on her
could use s1 but that's cursed
my Texas using S2 is even worse... the dp drain is real
I tried S2 at first but literally no where near enough dp
what type of units r dp drainin u anyways in that squad
I have no idea what you are doing

oh for me she just doesnt generate enough dp on time to get better dps on the field
It sounds like you are using 3 Merchants at once wtf
Even during Year 1, 2 Pioneers was enough dp
yes its at 7... but its still not enough
but really she is just a place sholder
if I didnt found the wrong post, I think this is the squad in question #strategy message
Can we see your stuff sorted by rarity
That's the correct post ya
Grey throat usage is questionable
the highest cost unit in his squad is 26 or something
I typically try to deploy a medic and a dps (with the medic at first) so the avg cost is around 40 dp
But can't change it since she's already max
Having 3 vgs for this team is 
she is my best anti drone and anti flanker unit
What's a flanker 
Out of all the 5β Anti-Air you picked the worst one
bruh I need it... always way too low on dp
you think I have any other 5 star anti air ???
You're doing something wrong then
thats not a 5 star... also she dies alot
Krooster is a 5 star
that's 3* kroos
Kroos is 3β
oh I dont have her
She's free from Side Story
That is a 5*
Also kroos 3* is fine, if she dies you misplaced her/other units
her alter version (krooster) is free from an event u can unlock
which one ???
Invitation to Wine
and yeah 3* kroos shits on everything flyin till like ch6
the Ling event ???
Is Mountain necessary to deal with convicts and Jesselton though?
but u have gt so don't build 3* kroos
if your medic is not ever in range of the enemy atk range, you can ignore general deploy order advice and deploy your dps first.
Maybe but I don't think theres enough dmg in him
U haven't fought yet ?
oh jesus there is quite a lot of side events... but how long does it take to clear it ???
Not yet, still deciding
You can just do IW-5 and just leave
For Krooster
Her pots isn't that necessary
can only unlock 1 event per week
take your time
-2 dp π¬
Also your Medics are bad btw
Kal'sit doesn't count as Medic
wait i should do that on my alt -2 dp early game is insane
but make sure to actually unlock
u can do the clearing later
just don't be timegated
ik that but what I mean is how long is that 1 side event itself... like does it not have 20 stages in it or smth ???
u aren't forced to clear it in 1 session
Its doable in 4 days
like just wait
But you aren't required to clear it in one go
ok
unlock them to not be timegated later
when u actually want to make time for clearing them
do they not get re locked after a certain time limit ???
no
no
tf
Also use better medics, Mulberry isn't gonna do shit 
why would that happen
Nope
would be such a troll
HG is not that sadistic
some games like Azur Lane for side event after a 24 hrs they lock again... although they give you like 20 keys
its just that Im aware of
Its a perma unlock
just making sure
ak is a pretty generous gacha
yeah but the learning curve and grind is super steep
-3 dp actually π€
this is one of the steepest learning curve game ever
It's not that bad
Just be strategic and use your mind
eventually every map becomes
deploy strong units
kill enemies and don't leak
this is one of the few games I think its literally harder than Dark Soul or TOuhou
so what's the schtick with this layout lol cuz idk where to even start and making a chokepoint is a mistake for the attackers i have
buddy what
This is false
Those are harder than AK
yeah okay nerd 
You win weirdest statement of the day congrats π
u need 0 mechanical skill in ak
bruh thats just from my POV... Dark Souls is way easier than this
What
he's not wrong, im having a harder time in Ak than my hitless Elden Beast run lol
bruh Im not the only one ok
get the beagle deploy her in the down vent tile facin down
no i mean for later, the map in general, not that round
what type of shit
see what i mean
Your fingers must be better than your tactical mind wtf
i wont disagree with that
mostly block in the middle deploy units in the last row down
that's how I usually do it
Its not that bad I've seen worse
imma quote this from another dude in this server: its because in Dark Souls you can move around freely and dodge... where in Arknights its step by step and if you screw up one you screw up the whole thing (no rooms for error)
how is there no room for error
because if you missplace or miss time you gotta start over
most stages can be 3 steps or lower 
But if you mess up the dodge in Dark Souls its gonna cost alot tho
block in the middle chokepoint or up the middle row?
wdym mean by steps ???
I did 10-12 trustfarm yday with mudrock 1 step
Low Step Arknights is a thing
step is deployin or activatin skill
deploy op -> 1 step, activate skill -> 1 step and etc
oh... interesting enough that you guys call it "step"
depends on the enemies u r facin
if u can't handle too much fire power at once u may need to let the top take a path to the middle while u clear middle spawns
Before you start, set your two strongest operators as T5 support units, and whoever else you think will benefit you the most as T6 support units
The team you'll be using is Ho'olheyak/Insider Intel Team
Round 1: Buy Popukar/Midnight/Melantha/Beagle/Kroos
Round 2: Upgrade Barge
Round 3: Refresh 1/2 times and buy the best dps operator you can, otherwise buy a defender or same as Round 1
Round 4: Upgrade Barge, reroll and freeze if there's good dps ops/arts
Round 5: Refresh 1 time and buy the two best dps operators you can, otherwise buy a defender or same as Round 1
Round 6: Upgrade Barge, reroll and freeze if there's good dps ops/arts, if you roll ulpianus or a T5 support unit, sell two of your ops to buy them
Round 7-9: Keep rerolling once per stage and prayge for ulpianus or T5 support unit, if necessary sell your earlier ops (aside from your defender if possible) to buy T5 carriesβif those units are wisadel and logos be sure to grab Standard Sniper Scope/Chunk of Ice (Miniature Accelerator as well if you get this)/Originium Solvent for Wisadel, Standard Caster Wand/Miniature Accelerator/Laser Sighter for Logos, or Strong Tea/Battlefield Analyzer/Orirock Dagger/Dirk/Hardtack for both
Round 10+: If you're still alive, that means you probably have enough DPS by now, so upgrade your barge one last time and start farming T5/T6 ops, be sure to check the enemies strategies and determine if that means you have to change your playstyle (i.e. if they have scaling defense, focus on casters or to change your positioning to better fight certain bosses at Round 12+)
Since a normal player brings the entire 12 slots
it's afk
here's mine 
paragraphing smh
Steps is low movement or actions used
it's the purest form of afk
I mean
99.99% of low steps r afk skills usage
Well yeah but still a different category
whats this for
Core Protocol
i assume its for consistent runs or something?
yeah hool is hard to use because of the low hp
consistent core protocol runs
80%-90% success rate from experience
but u get heavy power real quick if u get lucky/be smart about it
Anyhow you should fix your Team since it's a huge mess
thanks ill try it, im struggling a bit ngl
well... what else you really want me to replace it with ???
How about Mumu to Krooster
Mumu ???
Since you did say you struggled with drones
Muelsyse
well I didnt say I struggled... I just need someone to get rid of them
uhhhh... I really need the dp
You don't
Vanguards are for comfier runs
They aren't that necessary usually
yes I do... I literally suffer from lack of dp like really badly
like not enough to deploy anything on time or else I start leaking
also I haVe to rush in to get medic deployed first so they dont die
literally on some levels on need 4 VG because its literally a DP check for me
But how do you even struggle with dp
tho some are half fast redeply
If you need dp that badly why not use a Flagbearer
Just record a stage and show us
Flametail herself can hold off early waves
just not enough to get proper units deployed
ok but thats not the issue... ok let me slowly explain
I mean can't texas and flametail hold the lane until their skill ?
flametail can hold the lane... Texas cannot
thats the problem
Texas often struggles to hold the lane
you see
most maps have atleast 2 lanes comin at you
Your texas is e2 60, i'm sure you can kill a few dogs with her
texas can hold unless you are doing dog rush stage, dog eats texas sadly
what type of lane an e2 flametail can't hold
its usually that she starts leaking enemies... not dying to them
also u have gt
great for early dog killin
I said Flametail can hold her own... not Texas
Ok well by then you can drop another unit i'm sure
That's why i'm asking you to record a stage, the problem come from elsewhere
oh I typically save for her so I can save the dp for other units... and not all stages have drones so I would rather have extra 12 dp saved
what stage r u playin
uhhhh I dont have good recordings... I did do a live last time but I cant find it'
that got u that sweaty
I just hit chapter 10 today
huh
My old team was like this but i did just fine
u already cleared ch 8 ?
Because you drop either flametail or texas, wait for first skill proc, then drop an e2 lappy and you're good
tho usually the first 5 levels are easy... its just the later half I get stuck on it superhard
mhmm... literally did a 12 hour live session on here trying to beat 8-3 Tal
you can ask @elder flume who was with me the whole time
ye no that team won't clear jt-8-3 without support
oh I used a completly different team on that level
it was way different
well I could just tell you to scroll up even more but hold on

I posted my whole team like 50 times on this server but ok I will do it again
my storage is crying
I already saw the squad I need to see what u got that's not leveled
don't rush ahead in story
just send one of the pics u already took

Still didn't do it yet because I'm so nervous, especially in dealing with the top lane with only Gavial Alter on it and I'm not sure if she can do fine on her own
Since this space is packed, can I ask over at #help? I'll send a pic of the Foundation level and ask for further help because this is the last one and I want a win, I got more losses than wins for Stronghold. I got Hoshiguma behind Mon3tr to deal with Jesselton at least, or should it be the other way?
Atp just setup a krooster π₯
ik... but I change them a lot of have like over a hundreds of pictures already... but hold on
ik but I have clear that event first ok...
also I need to farm
u can retry mid run if u feel like it will fail
just don't go to the dead screen
What event ?
Krooster the website btw, not the unit
oh wat ??? there is a web called krooster ???
Retry mid run? What does that mean?
yeah u can store ur acc data in it and keep updating yourself
I don't even know how to explain this ngl
as long as your hp didnt hit 0, its fine, hp is a resource
lapp alter is ur strong arts dps
congrats
also don't put exp and levels into everything
even if it's e0
ik but im like stretched thin on resources... also got her reletively late
Why did you say you were lacking in Arts
yeah u will be stretched thin with the amount of unnecessary levelin
You have Lapplter
u have surtr too
Wym
got her relativly late so I didnt have much to focus on her
You have enough Arts
smh
she..... is kinda of bad... I did try her but she just coudlnt do it
You got Walmart Frostnova rip
honestly felt wasted that I spent resources on her
Wym bad, she basically defined an Era of Meta in Arknights
she hits hard but she is kinda of squishy
She fell off but she's actually still good
"Just surtr it". Expecially if Wisadel fails 
her main skill is s3, yours is e1 so she is just a normal source of arts damage right now
she does hits very hard dont get me wrong... but she cant do a sustain swarm fight
yeah she is E1... but honestly still felt wasted
I think I ain't qualified for this
she has low dp regen and she is the squishiest out of the whole VG I have
Wym wtf
buddy most units aren't holdin a lane on their own with out a medic
well S2 she does generate decent dp but she is SUPER squishy
She almost equals Myrtle
Surtr is absolutely not top 15 anymore, but she's still way better than the trash team we saw earlier
In dp printing
actually she used to be in that team... until her dissapointing peformance
Check it, it's a way to share your roster, alongside other tools
Because she's not E2
Even then her E1 is actually good
thats why you should finish up e2-ing her instead of leveling random ops to e1 60. You have a lot of ops whos main skill is s3
You are using a Shit Medic
You can't judge an art guard at e1, the archetype is complete dogwater, she's reliant on s3
yeah but the fact that I have get all teh way to E2 while other units feels better at E1 is just... doesnt seem worthy in investing into her
What is this logic
honestly I am tryin to designate the better units
wis mlynar logos ines reedic ray exu alter lemon (zuo?) tex alter
(lapp alter?)
who else ?
Most ops require E2 to be good
wdym ??? like for example Blaze is way less squishier and can hold her own even at E1
You have to invest in units for them to be good, if you're judging the value of your units at e1 you're cooked
Because her role is a Laneholder what you expect
blaze main skill is s2 so she has access to her best skill, those ops need e2 for s3 for their main skill
Surtr is Arts Dps
my e2 kafka would like a word
if we put the competition to just arts dps she still looks quite up there
oh yeah ulpian too
not in that context anymore
ik that you have to invest.. but there is already a lot of difficult levels you have to complete to get better access... so being able to complete with low invested characters is important
You're forgetting way too many units lol
ela, yato alter, zuo le, ascalon, ulpianus, shu 
I'm sure there's more, we did top 15 last time in help
O sol mio 
yeah but thats the thing... you can temporarily pause on her investing while you invest in other Ops
But you are investing in bad ones like Mumu, Gray throat and Mulberry
π«΅π»
Look at the dude with the 9dp kafka
I did forget ela asca
zuo is there but I am conflicted about him bein better anyways
still I don't think there are enough better arts dps option that warrant her becomin useless
You have Silence as a Medic for god's sake and you are using Mulberry
Mulberry is shit at healing
Whats happening π
ok do not tell me to use Silence ok ??? I am absolutely sick of her
What?????????
honestly I feel like saying Silence being good is the biggest lie I ever felt
You got some very very weird takes my dude
the thing is the "investing in other ops" you did was questionable, even if we put the bad ops aside, you e2 max several ops, you dont e2 max ops till you played long enough, you just dont have the resource for it yet. Those lmd/exp could had been used to e2 a lot more useful ops
She is objectively Good
Idl wtf you foin
well its what happens on the campaign... Silence is just... not that good
What the hell is this
.... ok you want me to explain whats the issue I have with her ???
Several Hardcore Players advocate for Silence and she's been tested for 6 fckin years
Wdym silence is not that good π₯
I'm not getting baited anymore, good luck buddy
ik but for me on lots of maps she is not that good
r u usin skill 2
He is
yes... and the drone is a double edge sword
I saw his roster
?
What
ok let me explain whats the issue I have with her
