strategy

[willow sun]

yeah i got so many defender set items

hoshi had elite ah set too

so at e1 lv 30 she had 11k hp and 1k def

heals 700 hp on hit :icant:

[pure orchid]

hool !

[willow sun]

ho'ol my goat

it was almost leakless but i trolled

[gusty compass]

Is cityway 66 possible with this team?

I am a new player and have trouble on bottom left side where I deploy ulpianus, after about 300 enemies, a horde of paramilitary snipers pop out and charge each other up and gun down my ulpi before he can heal (even with the medical drone) how do I counteract the damage, another healer dedicated for ulpi? Stall with gravel? I have only 1 flexible drop remaining which I use for putting Kroos on right side for more dps

[steady moth]

Perfect core protocol with Sharp vs Icefield Millitants and Convicts.

Finally a good run!

[cyan gorge]

Not having e2 Gladiia with mod def hurts his survivability

[pure orchid]

How broken is Sharp squad

[gusty compass]

Yeah that's why... I don't even know if a silence on him + the drone would be enough tbh

[cyan gorge]

Is your goal to auto or just get the first clear rewards?

[gusty compass]

Auto, I've gotten the rewards by using a support

[vocal leaf]

a caster instead of kroos should be better for that anni

[gusty compass]

The problem isn't with the middle/right side, Lappy S3 deletes stuff, the issue is ulpi not living when 5 snipers spawn in together after 300

[cyan gorge]

Up the healing, bait the damage or add more dps

Also wouldn’t using laptop s3 help with that issue?

[full terrace]

How did you position your Ulpian

[vocal leaf]

he said bottom left, prolly that red box in the corner

[gusty compass]

Bottom left , bottom row, 2nd from the left facing left to spawn kill the bombardiers

[full terrace]

Pull him 3 tiles back

Use S3

[gusty compass]

She is S3 but her drones target the lasers

[full terrace]

Whenever Bombardier and Snipers spawn, use his S3

He will throw anchor forward and stun them for a bit

When the stun duration is almost over or you see that he is dying

Deactivate his S3 and pull him back

Then deploy Gravel in front of him to bait attacks

[gusty compass]

I see

[vocal leaf]

can also add a caster there, like pudding or click

[gusty compass]

Don't have deployment slots left, really

Can prolly only deploy gravel

Or Kroos/ caster right side for more dps

[vocal leaf]

what are your deployments in the stage? the position of everyone

[full terrace]

Deploy Gravel in front of him to buy a few secs for your Medic to heal him so instead of taking constant damage, he got time to heal up

[gusty compass]

Shaw top, to push, ulpi bottom, everyone else top middle to hold ground, silence with them top right facing left to heal, drone for ulpi ideally

Laptop below silence facing down, gives best results for drones imo

Saria at the left side, ehan above saria facing down , spectre to the right of ethan facing left so she also attacks saria blocked enemies

Silver ash behind saria facing down

[vocal leaf]

you dont have a screenshot?

[cyan gorge]

Can you just ss the positions on the map or draw it

[gusty compass]

Sadly... No 😅 I can get one but it'll be a while before I can do it again

[willow sun]

@pure orchid

🥹

this game is edging me

[pure orchid]

Promote something bro

[willow sun]

its gotten worse wait 🥹

[primal crescent]

idk i feel like i'm playing this gamemode wrong because i can never find ops to promote

[glass monolith]

Welcome to average reason why i trash talk auto chess

If luck is major factor in your power i hate it

[brisk surge]

arf drive by

👋

[full terrace]

I wanted to see what kind of welfares Shileds is running. Rosa and Yato 😏

[brisk surge]

hes playing on main so no welfare

🥀

[wicked minnow]

im trynna get to d15 on main 😅

[crisp bolt]

another close run

[pure orchid]

First try, i kinda get it but also kinda dont

It feels like kal squad but a bit more aggressive

The hp is also identical, meaning you can leak early

I chose not to and it was fine just alternating between buy op and upgrade barge

rn im trying early leak

[pure orchid]

#salt-mines message early leak may be better? should have had 26 hp left if only laterano with stun snipers didnt get aspd buff

[finite pawn]

guys need some help, idk what to do with the fucking ice spiders, it kill all my casters

that little piece of shit

i tryied to do somithing like this, all the casters attackink up, but it didn't work.

[pure orchid]

Either way, the difference seems to be negligible

[finite pawn]

(im new in the game, that's why i dont understand why i cant win)

[pure orchid]

using only reserve ops is kinda tough

you're using kal squad no?

[finite pawn]

me?

[lofty stag]

Kal has 70 hp

This is 30 max

[finite pawn]

idk what is kal squad

[lofty stag]

Likely hool squad

[lofty stag]

Kirara?

[pure orchid]

wtf kirara

[finite pawn]

i like the skill lol

[lofty stag]

Then you lost 10 lives

[pure orchid]

anyways 2 crossed out boxes

[finite pawn]

well, yeah

[pure orchid]

not hool at all

[lofty stag]

Then it makes sense cuz kirara has max 45

[pure orchid]

kirara squad kinda... sucks

[finite pawn]

kirara is bad ?

[pure orchid]

random op every 18 funds spent

[finite pawn]

i thought she was good

[pure orchid]

what if that random op is just steward

[lofty stag]

I mean most of my core protocol wins were from kirara

[finite pawn]

i see...

[lofty stag]

I just sell the useless ops

Then again I kinda had almost all ops

Honestly kal squad is the safest for a beginner

[pure orchid]

best case scenario: 3 fund rebate per 18 funds (you will use the op fully)
worst case scenario: 1 fund rebate per 18 funds (you will sell useless op)

might as well just use humus squad lol

[lofty stag]

Well you can upgrade the squad skill itself

It goes up to per 6 funds spent

That’s how I got one win

[pure orchid]

If you're lucky enough to be offered the upgrade

[lofty stag]

Fair

I haven’t attempted core after doing all needed missions

[pure orchid]

Its really rng if you think about it

rng on upgrade, rng on operator, etc

[finite pawn]

yeah

i think i'll use kal

[pure orchid]

kal is a good start

lemme dig up the copypasta

[finite pawn]

but what i can do for the ice spiders?

[lofty stag]

Restart

[finite pawn]

lol

[lofty stag]

The moment you see ice field militants, restart

[pure orchid]

Kal strat: #strategy message

[gusty compass]

ULPIANUS S3 STRAT WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH HAHAHA

[finite pawn]

bro, but the spiders appears in the first wave

[lofty stag]

As in restart the entire run so that you get different enemy factions

[finite pawn]

ohhhh, i see

[lofty stag]

There are 5 factions in this mode

[pure orchid]

You might also want to try hool squad if that doesnt work : #strategy message

[finite pawn]

ty for the info guys, i appreciate it

[flat niche]

Hey I'm new to this game, who should I be pulling for?

[pure orchid]

id advocate for doberman and silverash squad but i havent tried them personally to form an opinion

[finite pawn]

i'll check it out, ty

[lofty stag]

#help might be a better fit for your problem, #strategy is more stage specific help

[gusty compass]

Go to #help for those questions, but right now, if you are on the beginners banner, all are pretty useful tbh, but some are a bit better than others for early game, as for the current banners, none are worth for a new player(I am also one) so just save for a while, you can get very far with free units 👌👍

[full terrace]

Congrats

And you are welcome

[pure orchid]

yeah sharp squad is just kal squad but different flavor

its okay, but simple enough that its not worth writing about

[opaque stirrup]

kal is way better tho

unless he gets some good strategy enhancement

that actually makes him worth

cuz it feels like just an early game buff that doesn't translate well imo

[spring lily]

guys i think skadi alter is a perfect candidate for m9-ing since she is so versatile and not only that, very beautiful as well she is perfect in more ways than one

[glass monolith]

Ah great. I have chapter 10 hyper slimes with 500 HP regen now. Love anything autochess related

[opaque stirrup]

I have her m9
do u know how msny times I used s3
twice
s1 ? never

[glass monolith]

S1 usage be like - CC10

[timid nacelle]

it wasn't even optimal back then

[glass monolith]

Maybe. But watching boss fail to kill NG doll for half hour or something was funny

[timid nacelle]

yeah I love cc clears where I hate myself because I am forced to stall

[glass monolith]

i bursted CC9, didn't make me hate myself less

[timid nacelle]

good point

I will do r18 equivalent and sleep from now on

[cyan gorge]

Not max pot

[steel prairie]

is the London artillery not a 100% garuntee kill ???

[pearl breach]

3k pure dmg. Anything above that will survive.

[glass monolith]

Or gigachad Hoshi talent to ignore damage. Or sell your soul to time Roberta shield device while you being consumed by 9 slugs

[steel prairie]

yeah Im ev en surprised that my Blaze also tanked a shot holy moly...

the picture of the artillery it showed is freakin huge... reminds me of that Gustav cannon... yet now Im picturing Blaze literally catching a shell from that

[steel prairie]

ah

tho 3k should be enough to kill most things tho right ?

[glass monolith]

After Blaze just cat jump off copter in pervious arc i am not surprized Terra citizen are fucking juggernaunts

[haughty flower]

It can't kill CRUSHERS RAHHHHH

[pearl breach]

Good for you, that you have a crusher now. Back then we used mudrock or kals.
If they are not available on your support. You are forced to cycle the defender bait

[elder flume]

Humus moment

[haughty flower]

Love how his paradox sim is literally just him tanking cannon shots.

[steel prairie]

uhhh is this considered a hitbox bug or smth ??? cause my Blaze is pointing to the right but she is still hitting the ball... unless the ball counts into her tile

[glass monolith]

Uh.... You somehow made balls splitbox into wrong tile?

Also there might be problem when left side in future

[steel prairie]

idk... hell when I place Zuo on the other ball area pointing left.... he is also somehow hitting the ball... but I can clearly see that the ball is in its own tile...

is it a bug ???

[glass monolith]

They aren't suppose to be on tile above them. I assume something bugged out when they were moved by gravity

[elder flume]

Not really a bug

[glass monolith]

Do you want me to say "kill it with fire" now or what?

[elder flume]

Its just how ops have 1.15 radius range

[glass monolith]

Float point feature

[elder flume]

Forgot the actual number but somewhere around there

My NL 7 run used it
https://youtu.be/rvCPRrhpsJw?si=HtsaVjhm0uxTlLQu

[steel prairie]

WTF ??? they made refrigerator - kun REAL ???

what is this refrigerator suppose to do ???

[glass monolith]

[elder flume]

Tho yes that ball is on its own coordinates higher than others because its HG still placing things on their own rather than following a system

[glass monolith]

Annoy you with small damage when close and push balls which i think does nothing in annihilation and was used to F with you in event

[steel prairie]

ok Big question: since Silence drone counts 1 tile... does it actually has weight to push the button ???

or no its an exception ???

[glass monolith]

Uhhhh.... Pretty sure you have to have block count to activate button

It was explained in event tutorial which i forgot

It even has -1 block enemy which could cause you to lose button

Shield enemy mechanic is losing DEF and RES each hit taken btw

[steel prairie]

uhhh Im no where near the Columbia arc so I didnt get the tutorial so I have no idea... a lot of the anni is just me going in blind

[full terrace]

Hows your icons @pure orchid 😂

Mine is done except for Spearhead Quilon

I just need to finish raising Rosmontis and I'll go make a recording for Quilon with Spearhead

Together with some difficult stages since I'll be doing a full Talon run instead of Lamp

[scarlet fulcrum]

Looks like pinged the wrong name

[full terrace]

Hmm? You mean me?

[scarlet fulcrum]

u will leak for sure, gravity up u want to timing properly with those ops

[full terrace]

I pinged Qyurii, I pinged the right person

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh u missed my point nvm

[next wigeon]

The Gravity Tile wants heavy ops (more block count)

[next wigeon]

Also I blame you for that sheep video

The "WTF" is stuck in my head now smh

[brisk surge]

qyurii's name is i love sp and you pinged him for is
i think thats the joke

[smoky halo]

who will be i love is

wtf...

[next wigeon]

I Just can't anymore whenever I see wtf it's just the sheep video

[full terrace]

😂

[next wigeon]

Arf now make an Eyja Edit of that

[brisk surge]

absolute cinema

[full terrace]

Thats why you need Mastery 3

Account is so weak it died to Fremont bahahahaha

[brisk surge]

10 rocks..... 🥀

[full terrace]

Nah I'm just kidding

[brisk surge]

i think its user error

[lofty stag]

Skill issue 🥱

[next wigeon]

Sir this is #strategy

[lofty stag]

Account issue 🥱

[steel prairie]

ah ok... tho ngl Lappa is actually dummy thicc

[steel prairie]

yeah eventually it did... stopped at 380... not bad tho for my team

gonna E2 more units to get up to 400

the large amount of resources you get tho is super useful

[scarlet fulcrum]

If u leak u force close it, its wasted sanity

[steel prairie]

yeah ik... but my team is definetly not gonna perfect 400 it

its gonna leak until I upgrade them

[scarlet fulcrum]

Or u can just play with intended mechanics

for example there is bulky dude that actually squishy if u know his mechanic

[steel prairie]

the guy that loses res and def when taking huge amount of hits ???

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea

[steel prairie]

he wasnt that big of a issue... tho his successor is

do you have to use Hoshi to beat this guy ?

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can leak the runner guy that pop from him

[steel prairie]

the traffic tower... thats where I lost essentially

[steel prairie]

huh there is a runner guy ??? I didnt notice during the fight (it was too chaotic)

its not the rocket on wheels one ?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats yea, dude with pointy helm

[steel prairie]

oh

but yeah essentially when the traffic tower comes thats where I lost... I definetly have nowhere near close enough dps to take them

they was like 8 of them... no way I can take those on

[elder flume]

fear is a state of mind

[scarlet fulcrum]

Is that the meme fridge?

[steel prairie]

fridge-kun lol... first anime game I actually ran into one

also this game have the infamous truck-kun on the lappa alter event

[full terrace]

#kirnforpresident ngl I'm gonna nominate you for mod

[steel prairie]

fridge one was ez.... I really hate the van on the lappa alter event... not even close amount of dps

[scarlet fulcrum]

#arflanyr for mod not gonna backdown for this

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its gravity car i think, thats different

[steel prairie]

oh... but yeah those are hard to kill

[scarlet fulcrum]

Because u are on gravity up 💀 and with those ops

make it gravity down, easier if u can kill big dude faster. Or distracting them

[scarlet fulcrum]

I remember u also have ceobe right, she is very good for camping cars on right side during 350+

So less cars to worry

[smoky halo]

dont u just throw click + ethan to stall the 4 block enemy

[scarlet fulcrum]

so in late waves, either armor dude or cars will take control gravity because they stands on each button. So u want kill standby cars on right side to minimize gravity up @steel prairie

[smoky halo]

click + indigo maybe legit too idk

[scarlet fulcrum]

Sure look at their ops

[elder flume]

if only base ops are raised

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ethan and indigo actually solid to raise tbh, so nothing wrong

Click also base ops for newb qol

[nocturne cove]

Hi chat

Today for the first time I was placed on an IV

I think I'm addicted

The cold fluid going into my veins felt so good

🚬

[elder flume]

cool

[steel prairie]

I raised a few based Ops recently... but even then Im a bit confused... how are some of the raised one are getting tired faster than the ones unraised ??? (looking at you Texas)

also besides events there is no other easy way to get this resource ???

[elder flume]

RA IS

[steel prairie]

oh IS stage ???

welp

[elder flume]

IS mode

integrated strategies

[steel prairie]

ik

but I dont think Im close to ready for that

[elder flume]

its why we told you to farm Lapp event

RMA farm was there

[steel prairie]

yeah I did... I got practically 90% of it

until I ran out and have to resort back to normal farming

[lilac steppe]

Hi all. Whats the mechanic behind this? Cant do much damage to cars

[steel prairie]

oh THOSE cars

[nocturne cove]

? Wisadel

[elder flume]

kill car when not blocked
if blocked when die = 3 mafia spawn

[steel prairie]

wow never knew that volkswagen beetles are canon in AK universe

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats bad luck rma ig, there is no way u ran out rma with only those shitty ops raised

[lilac steppe]

Its still at the 1st floor, wisadel dont do much

[nocturne cove]

She ain't e2?

[lilac steppe]

I see, shouldnt block them

[steel prairie]

that is a E2 Wis I think

[lilac steppe]

Not yet. Its 2nd encounter.. ahah

[steel prairie]

oh

[tidal sedge]

EN can't see

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats early floor duck stage or smt

[elder flume]

you want arts basically

so uh gluck Tinman

[tidal sedge]

It's gonna be hard to not leak

[lilac steppe]

Cool2. I try out the non blocking strategy.. though its easier to restart. Thx all!

[scarlet fulcrum]

dude felt confident on encounter, but maybe doable on low d

[steel prairie]

the thing is even the event shop wasnt enough... like I got all the stones and grindstones only for it to run out real quick

Blaze is one hungry cat (is she a cat or bunny ?)

[elder flume]

youre supposed to farm the stages not the shop

shop is just extra items

[steel prairie]

oh... but my team wasnt good enough to auto farm it

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh this guy not farming nodes 😭

[steel prairie]

most especially the late levels were used Wis for support (especially on those damn vans)

[steel prairie]

I did farm some... manual farming is painful

[scarlet fulcrum]

U have more than enough arts

For auto

[steel prairie]

me ???

[elder flume]

PV9 ironically is easier to farm than PV8 with your acc back then

[scarlet fulcrum]

yea

[steel prairie]

since when I have arts dps character ???

[steel prairie]

was it ??? for me it felt super painful if you screw up the fireworks

[scarlet fulcrum]

I stalked searched ur pics

[steel prairie]

yeah ??? I dont recall any of them being ez... it was only ez because I used support Wis but that doesnt let you auto farm

without Wis Im basically dead stuck since I dont have no where close to having enough dps to take them out

also Chen and Lappa werent E2 back then I think

[scarlet fulcrum]

Carnvale make it easy thats it

[steel prairie]

dont the fireworks not last forever ???

[scarlet fulcrum]

U dont even need both

[elder flume]

Greythroat and 3 blockers was all you need

to make Carnevale forever

[steel prairie]

not all of them spawn balloons constantly I think...

[elder flume]

PV9 did

[steel prairie]

also I did spawn with 3 defenders once... still one of the vans got thro

[scarlet fulcrum]

In pv-9 its forever. Pv-8 u can time it with car that very snail to pathing

Carnevale i meant

[steel prairie]

also I hate the flamethower tuba guy

the flamethower tuba guy and the dancers always eats my units

[scarlet fulcrum]

U are immortal during carnevale

[steel prairie]

nonono sometimes when your waiting for the fireworks

you know you have to prevent them from stepping on it right ???

that part

[scarlet fulcrum]

They comes after fireworks

[steel prairie]

huh ??? I recall some of them do appear early and will camp in certain spots

hold on brb

[scarlet fulcrum]

they come very late, its just on u trigger carnevale very late

[elder flume]

idc of it as much since its past but next event is another farm event

do it to stock up mats

instead of progressing story or anni

[steel prairie]

ik ik

more prepared now

obviously

[steel prairie]

also I assume its that lethianion event with that crazy bass player (Aurtira ???)

[elder flume]

yes

[scarlet fulcrum]

Is it cello?

[steel prairie]

is she also worthy for headhunt or no ???

[steel prairie]

idk

[elder flume]

you cant get her

[steel prairie]

could be a base or cello

[elder flume]

shes limited

[steel prairie]

oh nvm then

[scarlet fulcrum]

Both kinda similar anyway

[steel prairie]

ok... not a big problem for me

[steel prairie]

gonna need that red device the most

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can balance oriron and device

[steel prairie]

also wtf why is my auto farm failing ??? its always succeed on the first 2 but loses on the 3rd ???

[misty fossil]

time to watch it manually

[scarlet fulcrum]

Sometimes upgraded ops can kill enemy faster and mess up some timing, can be survived ops mess ur setup but surely not this i believe u

Just redo ur auto

[steel prairie]

alright gonna have to open my OBS then

[steel prairie]

also I realized no normal stones ???

[scarlet fulcrum]

1-7

[steel prairie]

for the event ???

[scarlet fulcrum]

Outside event, thats ur main income for rocks

[elder flume]

still a while

[steel prairie]

I mean that triple hexagon stone thingy

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah still 1-7

[steel prairie]

would rather farm that which is ranked rare ??? or farm the stones below it thats uncommon and craft your way up ???

[maiden hound]

the latter

[scarlet fulcrum]

More efficient to craft, this is only for rock's case

[steel prairie]

ok so I have been doing it right

[elder flume]

1-7 is best stone nonetheless
only beaten by event due to shop efficiency

[steel prairie]

k

bruh Im not even farming for modules lol... Im just trying to E2

[scarlet fulcrum]

ur base workers raised right?

Because ive seen u used perfurmer in wrong place

[steel prairie]

yeah yeah I raised some

[light tundra]

How does Whislash talent work with Mlynar? is it a one time check when deployed or does it check again for block count when using her S1?

[steel prairie]

tho I have 0 idea how Lappa outlast Texas when they are working on the same thing LOL

[scarlet fulcrum]

/baseskills #bot-spam prio those first

Just the e1 not e2 except proviso

Also dont upgrade office, im sure other already said this i just parroting it

[steel prairie]

yeah ik

[misty fossil]

wait which ones the office
recruitment one?

[scarlet fulcrum]

ye hr

[valid kindle]

sry for tag mention
if round 3 dont get AH model, restart immediatly?

[remote perch]

Generally yes

Tho if you're confident, you can also pick up the Sniper Medal that usually comes up. You more or less basically do the same thing as the strat but instead of drafting AH, you draft full Snipers instead, then 1 blocker

[valid kindle]

i've given kazi, caster and karlan
I picked karlan

[remote perch]

Oof

Goodluck on your run tho, atleast you didn't pick Kazi

[steel prairie]

btw for my defenders is Saria worthy for E2 ???

[valid kindle]

i read chishasu recommendation

[scarlet fulcrum]

Is this first clear or just for fun?

[scarlet fulcrum]

After ur dps

[valid kindle]

about to be 2nd core protocol clear

[steel prairie]

ok

[iron sun]

i love this strategy,
its called place Wisadel use skill 3

[maiden crescent]

for core protocol how do you position snipers on the map with the vents?

[elder flume]

in any form that does not get -atk

[scarlet fulcrum]

Outside vents

Or not facing up ye

[tribal tide]

Okay, I give. What is the strategy that lets you beat Core Protocol?

[elder flume]

pick a strat #strategy message

[valid kindle]

btw, after round 7, i gotta hoard karlan units to get the buff?

[maiden crescent]

what are abyssal hunters?

[remote perch]

Not really hoard, you also have to deploy them
You really want to trigger the Medals effect as fast as possible since it's really strong

[elder flume]

Andreana Specter Ulpianus Gladiia Skadi

does Spalter count as AH i forgor

[remote perch]

Yes

[maiden crescent]

oh it's a guard subclass?

[elder flume]

faction name

[maiden crescent]

ahhh

is there any easy way to see faction names?

[elder flume]

prob archive gallery

[maiden crescent]

but like in core protocol there's no way?

[iron sun]

p sure if u click on the little info thing it shows their faction too

[elder flume]

not until you see the op in shop

tap on op > tiny faction name next to their name

[valid kindle]

even though there are enemy in skill range of ulpipi s3

skill still activated in ulpipi atk range?

[scarlet fulcrum]

The one with "assist operator" Icon normally

[elder flume]

one of the requirements for an op to use skill is targetable if the skill needs a target such as an enemy or themselves
Ulpi S3 needs an enemy to target
which he cant do unless they come to his normal range

[remote perch]

Skills activate when it's in their basic atttack range, so enemy needs to be Infront of Ulpianus to trigger his skill, not just within the Skill's range

[elder flume]

ops like Flametail S3 can activate without enemy because it doesnt target anything

now Ulpi S1 is a weird thing because i assumed it needs target but seems like its a state instead of needing a target meaning its always active until his S1 range finds an enemy

some other ops get changed like Weedy S3 with cannon that makes every cannon shot do S3

[scarlet fulcrum]

Most vg like that tbh, i tried with ely again yesterday

And yea he activate his skill to debuff enemies

[elder flume]

Ely S1 should activate without enemies

[scarlet fulcrum]

Should be

[valid kindle]

it has been really stable so far, no major leaking @remote perch

which is humongous improvement

[remote perch]

[valid kindle]

if i remove doctor hologram, the unit back to e1?

[elder flume]

thats the elite maker right

[valid kindle]

yus

[elder flume]

it only works if you do the next round with it

so youre still non elite rn

end of next round

[valid kindle]

"equippable by any operator; immediatly promotes this operator to an elite operator"

[elder flume]

oh does it not destroy

i did use the unupgraded version and it didnt work during battle

[valid kindle]

yeah idk why it doesnt destroy after promoted

[elder flume]

you can test it
but when i put it on someone the round happened without them being promoted

[valid kindle]

ah confirmed, after swapping, unit still e2

[remote perch]

Promoted Doctor Hologram is generally a detrimental tbh, since its a dead slot

You really want to use the first so it gets consumed before buying a 2nd

[valid kindle]

i get it from gain 5 equipment equal to supply level

which i guess already upgraded one

[remote perch]

Ooo

[scarlet fulcrum]

This one?

[elder flume]

ye upgraded just skips the process of doing next round

no its T5 item

[valid kindle]

t5 item

[elder flume]

literal doctor hologram looking thing

[scarlet fulcrum]

Still said destroyed

Clearly

[elder flume]

upgraded

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh u have one upgraded, if u sell the ops it will back ig

[maiden crescent]

is it possible to win streak core protocol? it feels like there's just so much rng trying to force a strat

[elder flume]

mine no
Ho Kal Gladi is if youre searching for consistency tho

dober can to a certain extend

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ur dober strat also fine tbh

[valid kindle]

karlan model + typhon s3 is cracked kekw

even dollar store golem didnt stand a chance

[cinder axle]

I just used Ho'olheyak for this tbh

I did not really want to read other leader buffs

Pog

[elder flume]

i can prob get to 1.5k gold before event end

kina busy with work for the next 2 days tho

hopefully enough to test T5 T6 item cap

[maiden crescent]

bro wtf, i didn't know the enemy has a wisadel ult skill that blew up my entire team

[fast kernel]

Is Dorothy good

I pulled her through a single but I was hoping for the blue guy

[cyan gorge]

She's good

[fast kernel]

For a beginner tho?

Can she carry me through story

[meager bluff]

Sadly not really good carry, if you want carry operator maybe mlynar, ling , wisadel will do better

[pure orchid]

This is IS tho, not SP… 🥀

[maiden hound]

same thing anyways 🚬

[pure orchid]

Well ive only been playing blueprint, and i cant even kill Quilon, let alone reach him cus of fremont

Old man got hands

[fast kernel]

😭 I just started

Basically

A week ago

[vocal leaf]

she’s very good, get her e1 for mines gameplay

[vital arrow]

Dorothy is kinda eh for newbies imo

She has little damage and is pretty much packed just for the utility

[vocal leaf]

it’s not like you need a nuclear bomb to play the first chapters tho

[fast kernel]

Is she good for chapter 3

And 4

[vocal leaf]

what else do you have?

you can even play with 4 stars in harder content, story difficulty starts scaling at ch8 or maybe 7 with pat

[vital arrow]

No you dont need a nuclear bomb for early

But dorothy for an op that demands a lot of micro just doesnt pay off enough at that investment

[meager bluff]

Your first priority if you newbies is make elite 2 any operator so you borrow support operator and lv up some 3 star operator since they cheap.

[still vessel]

im currently kinda struggling on 9-19. ive spent almost 10 practice plans already. i get pretty far until second phase boss that just wipes out half my ops

my team im using to clear it

[scarlet mortar]

10's not a lot, keep going

[still vessel]

problem is im almsot out

since i was doing all of chapter 9 ive already spent almost all of it

[scarlet mortar]

wait is this just planning issue

[still vessel]

yes i have like 2 practice plans left

[scarlet mortar]

mlynar + SA each dispatch a phase for mandra

[still vessel]

im using SA for one lane tho

[scarlet mortar]

why though

both lanes suck

you could use practically anything for them

[fast kernel]

Who to e2 first?

[still vessel]

go to #help

[still vessel]

ok ill try using both sa and mlynar for second phase since the rocks makes first phase a joke

[vital arrow]

Did you use the rocks

[scarlet mortar]

uh no

[still vessel]

yes first phase is easy

[scarlet mortar]

use either mlynar or SA, not both at the same time

one for each phase

[still vessel]

but rocks do almost one whole phase

[vital arrow]

Thats why youre struggling on P2

[scarlet mortar]

^

[elder flume]

you want rocks more on P2

[meager bluff]

Any operator you need will do but i recommended 3 or 4 star since they cheaper . Defender like quora gumy spot is good choice

[scarlet mortar]

p2 gets knocked down by the pillars

[vital arrow]

You have no rocks to dispel her DR

[still vessel]

ok so i save rocks for p2

she has dr?

[fast kernel]

Who's better cuora or gummy

[elder flume]

that earth shield around her when she flies

[scarlet mortar]

when the shield's up yes

[still vessel]

ok

[meager bluff]

Different use actually quora for full tank but i chose gummy for heal utility

[fast kernel]

Ok

Is s1 gummy better than s2

[scarlet mortar]

with the shield she can also use the laser, and in p2 flies, has a DoT aura, and drop pillars on you occasionally

[meager bluff]

Yup s1 better

[still vessel]

ok ok

[ancient temple]

Guys, one question.perfumer global heal talent work with exalter?

[vital arrow]

Yes

Any non green number healing works

[vocal leaf]

god forbid a new player try to experiment with an operator and attempt to have fun

then i guess just bench dorothy, borrow wisadel and call it a day

[rapid junco]

Don't become smooth brain

[scarlet mortar]

i mean bro asked if doro could carry them, which technically the answer is no

she's.... fine ig, neither "very strong" nor bad

[vocal leaf]

and i said she’s still good, he can just e1 to try s2 bind with mines

[rapid junco]

You at least want doro s3 + mastery + module to play around her

[scarlet mortar]

i'd say she's "still good", not "very good"

a new player would find it quite a bit harder to play around with her though

E1 means her mines have 16s recycling time or sth

[dapper hedge]

honestly im kinda way too spoiled playing w ela i wish all trappers trap are proximity too :icant:

[pure orchid]

@elder flume is whislash similar to logos?

in terms of how to play and end result

[elder flume]

yes but you will go to Rten to get the buff compared to R6 Logos

Rten Whislash is more profitable if you get it

[pure orchid]

What buff we talkin bout

Ive never played

[elder flume]

when purchasing T5 T6 Kazimier gain 2 funds

thats its saving grace

without it Logos gets econ faster

[pure orchid]

oh

me no want rng

[elder flume]

idk why people would go Whislash over Logos tho

Kazi File is insane but turning every op especially T5 T6 into Kazi eugh

[pure orchid]

Maybe they want logos but harder

💀

[elder flume]

just go Logos R6

if it fails theres Rten

[valid kindle]

is there way to constantly "print" t5 t6 operators? but not kazimierz

[elder flume]

well you need Kazi Model first to do that

then Kazi File

eventually you get this

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/669489344658014208/1372566849480298607/Screenshot_20250515-203012.jpg?ex=682e7e3d&is=682d2cbd&hm=96c0cb8fd0307dc20f8364e395c3a4e94ee62f177d1d533b88c37ba2edbad8dd&

ooohhhhh

kazi file is t4 or t5?

[elder flume]

T3

[glass monolith]

Meanwhile my blind attempts to 9 archetto be like

[valid kindle]

kazi model? t4?

[elder flume]

T5

[brisk surge]

wtfart

[valid kindle]

oki

[glass monolith]

There is chance for free model at round 3

[brisk surge]

minus playing 6 stars

[glass monolith]

Because I can't set 5* on 4 slots so F you and auto chess in general

[brisk surge]

wtfart

so mean to me

🥀

[valid kindle]

glad i can "relax" after clearing objectives of core protocol

[weak gazelle]

so round 15 is the highest we can go?

[pure orchid]

Clueless

[elder flume]

highest recorded is 114o

if EN is trying to up it idk

[lofty sundial]

i only reached round 18

[weak gazelle]

interesting
how to unlock it?

[lofty sundial]

[brisk surge]

[lofty sundial]

idk i have no idea, continuous leak

[pure orchid]

Wow max u found inner peace

[brisk surge]

Round 18 is like 1% of the average Chinese longest runs

[still vessel]

someone here got round 24 i believe

[brisk surge]

If you were watching the is5 runs last night you would be Buddha too

[pure orchid]

Damn

I was busy testing Sharp squad lowk

[elder flume]

has to fight Kazi
Eyja S3 is best to kill first drone and not have anything to leak 2nd drone
pray no max hp buff
stack someone with AH Model + AH File that cant hit air
have enough firepower to kill enemy at spawn

[weak gazelle]

idk, my run was auto ended when the is1 boss killed (idr his name) :icant:

[brisk surge]

You actually missed out on the biggest is5 lore

It's absolutely insane

[pure orchid]

Awww

Like ingame lore or

[brisk surge]

Help chat is5 lore

[pure orchid]

Also activating my fomo :realmad:

Im immune to that smh

[weak gazelle]

ohh i see
thanks for the input

[brisk surge]

Light losing with flingers is just the tip of the iceberg

You actually got fomoed

HARD

[pure orchid]

Grok can you give me a summary

[brisk surge]

Nope

Iykyk

[pure orchid]

Fuxm you grok

[brisk surge]

I'll tell you in vc some other time

It's long

[pure orchid]

Ill look backward to it

[brisk surge]

💔

[pure orchid]

(I have a terrible sense of direction)

[valid kindle]

whats the point of stalling round btw

[weak gazelle]

so its kazi hunting time :ya:

[valid kindle]

round 15 is like need 30 mins

[elder flume]

mostly to buff the enemy and find the max theoretical

for my testings i try to stalemate so i have another round doing things

[pure orchid]

For fun zzz

God forbid people having fun

[weak gazelle]

hmmm
kirara route visible for round 15+?

[pure orchid]

Kirara suck

Works but suck

[brisk surge]

You suck

[pure orchid]

Nope

[weak gazelle]

i see
which one better? or best i guess?

funny thing i beat r15 with kiwawa buff

[elder flume]

for what

most rounds usually correlate to Kal strat as they have 7ty hp

[weak gazelle]

i believe once every few round they add new buff

oh so 70 hp is the key, i see

[elder flume]

all depends on what you wana do

i do infinite money with Logos

most Kal strats win at R16+

dober ideal win is R11

Fartooth allows you to instakill non boss

Amiya is schizo Kazi tech

[brisk surge]

What does the round 1k guy use again

Was it logos

[weak gazelle]

ohhh hahaha
that nice to know beforehand

[elder flume]

idk they never showed

[brisk surge]

🥀

[elder flume]

but their Horn and Ashlock is really strong

almost 1 shotting

[brisk surge]

Damn

Fortress gaming huh

[still vessel]

2 more practice tickets and 60 sanity for 9-19 wish me luck

[elder flume]

Surely

If you wana attempt it then Logos is your most likely friend

Using Mechanist or Sharp or Kal could be better but you need unit rng

Yume is doing Wis S2 but that feels schizo if 2nd drone dies

[still vessel]

OMG

after 26 practice tickets and 42 sanity

[south spindle]

congrats

[steel prairie]

ok is the artillery in chapter 10 suppose to miss sometimes ???

[south spindle]

No

Based on block count > placement order

[steel prairie]

uhhh wtf then ??? why is the arty shooting the area that is not highlighted ???

[south spindle]

Read enemy skills and what not
will always actively highlight the current target it doesn't lock onto one operator

[timid nacelle]

probably shifted last second due to enemies who increase block count dyin

happens a lot in ch 10

mudrock is a god send there

[topaz mist]

am i just bad or are the enemies in this event just way too overtuned?

[south spindle]

Stronghold Protocol?

Theres guides here somewhere uh

[south spindle]

#strategy message

[steel prairie]

ah ok

[timid nacelle]

make sure to keep tabs on who's dyin on who isn't

ch 10 requires focus

[somber shuttle]

Light, dont take the bait...

[timid nacelle]

I retired to casual status after 6 iterations of cc

[south spindle]

if im trying to help i just redirect to vcs if possible so much easier

[somber shuttle]

i used to help in strat regularly 2-3 yrs ago

but too tired now

[scarlet mortar]

i mean strat kinda killed itself when the nicheknights gang and the high end gang beat each other up

[south spindle]

all the uncs in this servers slowly just become the yappers

[scarlet mortar]

and then CC killed itself

[timid nacelle]

I think I took a break durin that

[somber shuttle]

[elder flume]

SSS is worse than doing Logos strat in Strongholf

[south spindle]

(first time playing Wisadel 🥀 )

[smoky halo]

ask fredi to do ur dishes

[timid nacelle]

the desire to eat in a clean plate later

[smoky halo]
