Frankly the stage kinda sucks in general imo.
The boss' only interaction with the event mechanic is to negate it just so he can be yet another 2-stage boss.
He's explicitly designed to enforce a specific playstyle and you can't even deal with him by playing the mechanic unless you have a specific combination of characters.
Love this game 
Whats the specific combination of characters in mind
Shu to counter his teleport, any weight reducer, Weedy to push him back onto the sand.
Eh those are just cheese
Normal playstyle still works
Especially with Texalt
Medic Gravel Jaye perma stalls him
If he dashes then he moves 1 tile and thats it to the flaw of Medic Gravel Jaye stall
There's gotta be a more permanent solution.
But his AOE outranges most casters and ranged guards.
Jaye is fast redeploy so just place a defender down once the boss skips to cycle it lmao
You use someone to bait the spin then use Texalt to dps
Repeat until boss phase 2 dies
His range is 2 tiles
Only one he's outranging is onskill tomimi
I'd really rather not deal with the hassle of constantly cycling units on and off the battlefield.
I hate playing like that.
unfortunately this is a strategy game
and rotating is not only a valid but common strategy at lower levels
Deal with it.
Just bait his dash with gravel into hoshi and blast his ass with wis while blocked
you don't have the cheeses lol, you deal with it
It's that simple
i have no issue with this
Helidrop spam is not the way to go.
You're very much welcome to devise your own strat then if you want to be picky
If you had eyjalt and shu you can just setup at the right side and ignore the cannons, probably not even eyjalt, just any good medics
Just checking, you understand the turrets have like 3000 defense and 0 resistance, correct?
I've been dealing with the first turrets mostly by recycling texalter and yatalter.
The third turret I've been trying to ignore.
But I don't usually make it that far before something leads to a reset.
And you can deal with the rest of the turrets in the same way, unless your texalt is severely underlevelled the s2 should be pretty capable of chunking.
So. Let's start ops. Chalter on this stage is a bit of a throw. She's trash clearing at best, and an active risk of a large chunk of dp at worst if the boss decides to go after her.
Hoshiguma should be functional for 2/3 of your dps. If I'm not mistaken, should the boss dash I believe you can force him back into hoshi by quickly deploying a unit behind her?
From there spam out the rest of your team. FRD's, vanguards, anyone who blocks and removes his dr. Just keep a steady flow of dps and down he goes.
Can Logos negate the spin attack with his s3?
If you mean by killing him fast enough maybe
Lovely.
Still need a blocker or else he gets 80% dr
This boss has somehow negated every idea I've had before I've had it.
Phase 1 is just stun spam tbh
Phase 2 he gets stun immune but wonder if Gnosis S2 just cheeses it hm
My usual strat is stat shred.
But he's so overwhelmingly high on damage that my shredders get shredded before they can shred.
Because you didn't realize he has 80% DR near cannons phase 1, and unblocked phase 2
I got bored and checked, yes, Hoshiguma can hold 2/3 of phase 2
Also, Wis'adel does 1/5 of his hp a shot basically if you hit him while he's blocked.
If you want stat shred then you need hyperbuff team rather than single dps carrying
60k hp
With 80% dr is basically 300k hp to burst through 
Also true damage bypasses this.
So honestly imo you don't have enough "stat shred" in your team if you missed that simple method.
My biggest objection besides the lack of interaction with the mechanic is the whopping weight of 7.
And you can still push him in a hole.
Weedy relevance grows each day
It's lore accurate this time at least.
I was going to try and pull him into the hole.
He actually does interact, just with cannons instead of salt. He does a lot of things to the cannon on both phases.
Easier than setting up a push.
That's why killing cannons makes the run easier.
All of his abilities. You'll notice each phase, he affects the cannons.
They're just stupid tanky and take like 3 or 4 deploys to knock out just one.
That's because you aren't using arts dps.
One (1) Nymph s2 breaks a cannon.
A 12 sp skill on technically a non-meta arts dps op.
I really wish people could recommend units I have built
Any arts dps works. Texalt should be doing good work. Do you literally have any casters built?
If not, sounds like your stat shred team still lacks shred, given a whole damage type is mia.
I have Mostima, Eyja, snake, and some others.
Modless logos 
Eyja and Logos will do just fine, even if logos is modless.
1 per cannon, you're done.
Literally only because I haven't unlocked the stage for it.
Just gotta hit the
to any modless logos 
Now how do I keep them from dying to the stupid AOE?
Use your FRD to stall while they work
Actually Ceobe will work here. 3000 def to chew on.
interesting
Actual fraud of a boss.
Unlike the recent previous bosses, this one has to walk in 2025šØ
I don't have Gnosis built.
dusk S3 agenda
Logos and wisadel should be enough for phase 2, they have enough range to stay outside of his aoe
ling detected
Ling kroos 2 opš±
E1 1 SL7 Gnosis is enough tbh
Tho that is if you really wana cancel spin
how broken is kroos
She has infinitely more aerial damage than wisadel offskill
But what if Wis hit a ground then aftershock aerial
I built Schwarz a little bit for use against Patriot but my actual successful run didn't use her.
mod wis to have an easier run
I don't have the mats for it.
Wis with no mod
I have a lot of modless characters.
It's difficult to build up to E2 then 60 then mod.
That's mainly because you build a lot of ops that are just ok/worse than your other options
ie, exusiai, rosa are weaker than typhon and chalter typically, much less wisadel. Magellan also only really sees use in high risk CC or other super niche stuff.
If you prioritized your best ops with the most important mods you should be able to better keep a handle on your mod blocks.
In fairness, every op on that list was built a long time ago.
Chalter I've had and had built for a long time.
what he meant to say is that
Typhon is a recent investment.
your squad can easily brute through chapter 10 11
Oh yeah this squad shits on ch 10-11 easy.
but you still somehow got stuck
Even with nerfed wis and logos they'll eat that shit up with hoshi blocking for you all day.
hoshi is not even needed
so you are stuck
wait so what's the issue with ling kroos 2op again
Anyways, EP-8 is really just a case of you having the wrong ops for the job on your team.
Willingly stuck until I take the time to actually progress in MSQ.
chapter 10 11 was 2 years ago
I've dropped you the arts dps recc's already, along with a few ops you can drop to make room. Wisadel, even in her weaker state, will still do notable damage to the boss once his dr is removed. Hoshi holds 2/3 of phase 2.
You should have all the tools for the job in your kit, so read his mechanics and then get cracking.
note that we can defeat the boss without redeploying but it is required to obtain the medal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrGX4JSUQoc
@vital vessel dms
Your point being?
Irene's really just on the team to sit there and look pretty 
I miss pre wisadel days ngl these days i get tilted when ppl say my account is trash if i dont have wis logos 
like imagine having to make an alt to play with ops u actually like n ur main be meta
it's ok i can lend you my E0L1 wis
If you dropped your acc in the sea it'd make seaborn within a mile radius.
If you buried your acc on land you'd need 12 feet of lead to contain it.

Even priestess wouldn't assimilate your acc.
All in jest, of course. You're fine.
ik bro ur too kind bro
You're so real, I'm the most benevolent god here.
Bow before me tbh.
Anyways, that really should be it for W's EP-8 strategy. As noted, all the tools needed are available.
Cantabile cameo, what the fuck is Ines rahhh
shame
The real wtf is modless Saria can heal offskill Cuora through spin 
Maybe he didnt spin enough to lower more def
It does make sense, Cuora literally is 1 of silvergun's EP-8 4* 3op.
This boss really struggles against high def. Exusiai looking ass.
all events have medal 
I mean I donāt remember every single event having a final normal stage medal
is qiubai used in is5 ed5?
Donāt think so?
i don't think you need bind no?
I donāt see a need to permabind in the boss fight
i see, i will use her one day i guess
She's for IS5 Ending 4
i know but i already got the ed4 badges with hoederer, i raised her too late
@remote perch dms?
I got my 3star clear.
Are my senseis proud of me. Took me 4 hours 
<@&586570970345635868>
I guess xe wasn't very proud of you.
@limpid ore check dm btw
<@&586570970345635868>
who is that Op ???
Ptilopsis, a good healer.
Good healer with good skins.
I think I tried to do this stage once and it didn't go so well.
But I don't have any deployment for it so I must not have.
Itās not too hard
Just wave clear check
Ops that can clear massive waves like mlynar/wis
There's always something that turns what could be a straightforward clear into a slog.
thats a lot of holes
rain: hole spotted
Donāt have to, most donāt need much investment to be able to fulfill your shifting needs
There's always a slog.
It just shows up in different ways.
With that mentality ye
Usually some tough boi who smashes my killbox.
Some unit with stupid high def/res/HP that takes up multiple block or whatever.

I like killboxes lol.
Its just the boss of endless carinval or whatever is the name
Nothing more
And hes paper
they do typically show up around 350 kills in lol
have you try this yet

I haven't tried anything yet.
And he explodes to a typical Typhon afk setup like Kyo shows above.
In fact, I'm pretty sure you have most of the ops to replicate that afk.
Got a diagram or an article?
Watch the doggone video.
You have Wis for an emergency button too, an unique advantage over back then.
Minimalist drone?
Yup, his shitty lil drone.
wasnt the event called Ideal City
It was both, iirc.
Ye
Idk man
Endless Carnival was the subtitle.
I have better things to worry aboit
It's the version of him that stays stunned for like an eternity in phase 2 as well, it's piss easy.
š„¹
I literaly have 3 exams and a verbal today
Idc about some durin twink in a drone
And yet you're in discord help channels.
Does anyone know tips on how to beat the 7th level in the event?
arts on cannon from behind
block enemies when theyre on sand
kill bridgemaker
there are 11 enemies, go ham bro
You actually don't even need much arts hilariously, the AFK version uses Thorns and Eyja original for Arts DPS.
How's this arrangement?
For Special Little Aquapit?
Not sure why you're bringing Vigil instead of your Typhon?
Overkill to say the least
Chalter S1 on left side and just afk it
oh wait Eyja S2 left side better
You could probably set up an AFK with this team if you plop Typhon in.
Well that and change your blockers a bit.
damn 7ty k hp with lots of sand checkpoints
you only need ines, wis and silverash for EP-7
It's just a DPS/good blocker check.
you dont even need blocker
Either you have an op that isn't a fraud that hits like wet noodle, or you hold it in place. Just that easy.
U can speed run with wis there tbh
Even chen useful for camp
What is this for? EP-8? You need a couple of units with high defense (preferably Defenders) to tank the boss's spinning attack. The spin does stacked Corrosion damage (reduces the target's Defense) on your unit until his/her Defense reaches 0, that is when his spin will 1 shot that unit. When that happens, you just deploy a new unit with Defense intact on top of the killed unit and you basically permastalled the boss. The boss does spin every 4 slashes on Phase 1, and spin every 6 slashes on Phase 2. The spin will prioritize unit in his target range that has no Corrosion Damage, and then hit 3x3 area centered around that unit, so if you position your units correctly, the right-most column is the safest. This is a Low-End Clear with Wisadel you can watch for mechanic understanding #strategy message and this is a 4 Stars auto you can watch for positioning reference #strategy message
Another thing worth mentioning is that the boss is susceptible to stun, so for example if you can do a stun setup such as Mr. Nothing+Erato combo you basically make a device out of the boss. Another units that would help with that are: Wisadel with her mini-stun, Krooster, and Texas alter S3 with a constant barrage of mini-stun. Also when you stun the boss when he is doing the spin attack, you'll stop the spin attack.
I think they asked for little aquapit
Lineup seems overkill for that anni ngl
lineup is overkill for all the annis 
Ah okay my bad. I saw his earlier question about EP-8 I just assumed so
I just mlynard it but wis can do it better.
Mechanics with civilian units are my enemy.
Though tbh I hate anything I can't figure out within a few tries.
There's that done.
pro
Vigil thinks he's part of the team
Fucking rat king
Hate his anni
Almost got it before exploding to the cannon and drones
He's just a battery by that point.
I spawnkilled that one hard back in day
#strategy message
Gladdia as target for cannon
Lappland can spawn kill him just hold S3 for 330 or whenever he spawns
mf nymph has been fucking up my ep-8 auto so hard for the past few days
š„
because the boss decides that fear isnt fucking real š„¹
"oops i got nymphed" proceed to walk normally for like 50% the duration of the effect
like bruh what is this shit
Where is Nymph 
she'll be put in the evil chamber if she keep fucking up like this
what does the evil chamber do
Thought its somewhat alright as long as she hits it straight shot
she does, the boss just really REALLY FUCKING want to walk to his next checkpoint before turning away for some reason
i think i should try nymphing him closer to the checkpoint so he stop being a fucking bitch
though it seems the newest auto is stable so maybe this suffering is coming to an end
Does taxes benefit from lapalters tallent
For the aspd increase
Technically she is penguin logistics
Texas alter isn't
ak faction buffs are useless unless youāre AH
not even that one is good, all limiteds 
When you have em its sick tho
The passive sp gain is crazy when you pair it with ptilo
Moar Myrtle activations 
Isn't there double faction update or something?
Not sure what is it even about though.
operators having multiple faction so more faction based talents work on them
since technically theyre also part of that faction
meaning Texas can insta S2 with Bagpipe and Lapp2
You can insta S2 Texas with Bagpipe alone
Oh right... My bad.
I thought it's insta.
Because it's just like.. one second in 2x speed 
@viscid mist

They are scammers, what dignity š
From my PoV it is just another wave of hacks at discord users or something, or maybe collective act of IQ drop of people sharing same server
Most victim clicked sus link before usually
Well i was victim of both sus link and "someone somehow just logined into your account from Brazil" so we won't know truth unless we guy responsible, assuming those bot makers even care
You're the next one to go 
Well probability is above 0
i will send you malware
I will fucking send you notification of successful file delivery which has download attached to window closing 
This thing deals too much damage and has too much health. How do i beat this fucker?
Stall with something with good DEF + max HP and medics. It has shit defensive stats so you can just beat it death with Kroos etc eventually
Tldr you bring tanky op, healer and DPS op.
Remember it attacks in aoe, not single target. If your medic or dps dies to the aoe that's problematic, after all.
It has AoE? 
Minus known EN
4 tiles near blocker or 8?
8
demn
That or it's the 8 around the fat fuck itself. Let me check
I just checked-actually, it's the 4 tiles around it!
Swears in rose salt
Whoops, not a good image but basically I tested putting an op behind them and they ate the big pp damage
Ye 1 radius from blocker
Meanwhile gummy was fine.
Oh wait is it from it
From wish because from blocker would not hit mlynar and hit Rose instead
Wao
Yes, it.
a creature with 70k hp sponge :ya:
It only hits the adjacent 4 tiles
and its 1 radius too so yeah
If Myrtle was diagonal she'd have been fine.
fat ops would get hit from it yeah :ya:
Here, a more clear image of how the seal hits
Random HP sink enemies again (Bnuuy-camel from Babel event). As if they trying to counter some operator which does fixed amount of HP damage bypassing DEF/RES mechanics idk 
You can see sexas and gummy took a hit, but click is fine.
will hit
He'd hit both gummy and the new op.
hmm... how do i say it
My Feater better survive 2 slams at once then
Unless we do splitbox shenanigans
Stupid hitbox of operators being almost entire tile instead dot in middle of it making 1 radius more dangerous that it sound mathematically 
Splitbox into even more tiles being hit 
I love Arknights
that seal hitbox lean more to gummy
so the radius didnt hit click
idk how to explain this properly :icant:
It is 1 radius but out operator hitboxes are not dot
Its easier to show if you can deploy on 0,0 tile axis to lock seal in the middle but thats almost certainly not happening 
We need to deploy on seal when it is exactly in middle of tile before it makes any corners which adds float point bullshit to it coordinate 
Allat to kill click
Tested it, you're right
You can see click fucking dying bottom left.
Well thanks for doing that but like it is fucking obvious Click is closer than Ines 
I was just making sure it was an actual circle and not the cross pattern I originally thought it was due to hitbox bs
Anyways. Blocker right besides blue box, DPS op left of sexas. Regular medic where Ptil is. That should work fine.
I blame fucking gaming for it
In some tile based games 1 radius is middle tile + 4 in cross. But AK engine runs on some coordinates and other stuff
I mean even in AK pretty sure some enemies have cross pattern aoe attack.
i can show my ep-7 run too
about this thing but this will look as promotion or something :icant:
On release casters because it was how their attacks coded to hit. And we have 8 tile casters aoe too so bruh. It is AK they find some random guy give him empty template and tell him to code everything from 0 so even if it is same shit it will be working differently just because 
Like co-op event TW towers couldn't be captured by dolls for no fucking reason and it was only case capture tiles didn't get activated by dolls (or it was tied to who being player 1 / player 2 stuff)
Ye my Myrtle never got hit lel
Because now that shit is shifted slightly up instead almost middle of tile
Shining 
I might go Ptilo route if Feater survives 3k phys
FFS Rain your camo was so effective that only that clip gave you away
(I don't bother to check discord names 24/7 when someone rename)
This is funny š
<@&586570970345635868>
is the crossroad in superhook killable? they are so annoying 
Gladiia MVP this event
You block them, and then heal the blocker
Or Asca them like me
Asca just groups them all together easily
400k š
Triple SSS, feels like this could go higher but I'll proceed to Fountain War first
Is there a but where you are doing ending 1 of is5
And if theboat takes your op its just permenantly gone?
Redeployment time just freezes at zero and i cant do anything about it
For the rest of the fight only
Returned after that battle
Ed4 needs you to use this mechanics
ED1/Face off the mechanic is just there to get in the way
been a long time since a medal made me change my strats a bit
Went with Mostima to really make them slower without damaging them
and Ifrit as 1-tile anti-air lulz
these cannons are more annoying than i thought
u guys rly enjoy that minigame huh
EX-2 made me bring in Ifrit for left and Surtr for right.
the CM's ATK dmg was absurd that it can 2-tap Shu
they sink regardless
i thought it was hurting enough already 
oh thats a good idea
i mean i tried physical. But those cannons have pretty decent DEF
3000 is pretty decent

just kill both if you have the time
if not, you only need to kill the right side
i need a really fast dp printer omg
not really
if you want to address the first enemy on the left
right side you deploy melee without ussie
just drop your Ya2/Tex2 AFTER the explosion
okay i did it. didnt notice there was a gap between the 2 explosions where you can put operator
no yato and texas

kinda like how this event spams bs flying enemies
That should always be the first thing you do when you encounter aoe.
Ask yourself where the gaps in their aoe are and then prep accordingly.
even though my first reaction is to dislike redoing stages because of this
What bs flying enemies?
there's those flying fish who speed up and sometimes drop off dudes when they die
And who have...let's see. 0 def!
At only 2000 hp more than the regular fliers, they're entirely fraudulent unless your entire ranged team only does arts. And even then, it's a big fat 10 res. That's it.
oyuki's saria is cheating wtf
Alright this is indeed one of easier event but some of these ex stages are clearly a f*ck you in the face

ong
Like.. how am I supposed to destroy the cannon that literally delivered a pirate straight to my front door
I guess you just cheese it with true damage?
but what they really want you to do is to slowly creep up from the bottom with ranged units
you dont, you kill the enemy that came out from the spawner instead
Why did this boss lowkey beat my ahh even though i have so many strong op? 
Good thing texas alter clutch this one
Salt able?
sink in salt
this is why shu is the goat
Does the boss go through here?
yes
he has a lot of burst stuff that really disfavors trying to set up permastall setups, having some kind of gravel type bait unit is probably the better way to handle blocking
This looks like chess 
What does the challenge mode do in that level?
the elite summon more frequently apparently
if you apply Weightless can make him enter cannon and kill faster thonk
alternatively mody Gladiia 
no way right
okay thats done
lol
medals these days really begging you not to kill stuff immediately
wowa i suck at this claw game
boy im so good at this claw game
they die on their own if you don't attack them as long as the bridges are gone
the path length is enough to sink them
The thing is you need some ranged ops to handle the fins, so the fodder often ends up as collateral damage.
I used Suzu myself, she stalled them just outside my DPS range well enough and also kept the flying enemies at bay.
What does this 3 tiles ban even mean. 
Is that supposed to be a good tiles 
I know the top left banned tile is where one of the bridge guys goes to set up shop.
Not sure about the other two, though.
There's a chef on one banned tile I think so that makes no sense, and the other one also makes no sense as it's a normal path.
Well.. even that wouldn't stop scene from revealing them. It just weird thing to do to make CM condition
If they want stage harder they should ban three tiles on bottom lane
That would've been mad evil tbf
That is challenge mode
Well.. That's what I expected when I see three ban tiles though 
But.. It is what it is
It actually does affect my run though because I put Mylnar on one of the banned tiles and Ptil just barely reaches him.
Oh well
Ansel angle 
anselgle
Angsel
Easiest medal I have done
I was trying to figure out why your team looked so wrong and then realized all of them are on their e0 art š„
Asca and logos are valid, they look better with e0
also you only need to sink 5 goons, and the flyfin spawn bit later anyway
you dont need to deploy you ranged operators immediately
The goon sink b4 they reach the tile no?
Freaking EX stages start with rush
They force you to play Vanguards

I just open with Ines+Ela tho
The barrel dude in ex stage are deadly af
Saw it almost kill mountain
If i didnt put shining on her range
Texas/Yato them š
meanwhile im play arcade 
Coward
ep-ex-5 is crap virtualy nothing you can do
would appreciate it if they make it a permanent game mode with more ops
Was this that guy
a bit too far
who is back???
this is way more fun than sp

i reject your reality and substitute my own
if u can't take don't give 
wtf why is ex5 throwing enemy 1 tile from blue box 
I'll give you deez nuts
Average AH slop-less L
nah have my own don't need no else's

just use a vg
guess vulpis gets to do something

Noob Gen A bozo cant play arcade š
I kinda just abyssal slop'ed that stage. Twas fun.
can't abbysal slop with no ulpi
Are they fun
Not really if you didn't have fun in the story stages.
tho I could borrow him but I am already reachin my clicks per stage quota
Ulpi S2:

Arf your age is showing š¤«
They were just normal stages i did first try
Wait don't you have a full team of meta slop.
No, i dont use full meta on event stages lol
š„
š„¹
Im not a loser
If you go like "this even is so piss easy" while using nothing but meta = š®
Have fun
Average #help er
meta= bad cuz u are like everyone else tryin to win the game
i forgot to press ines skill 
i did somthing close to this lol
So real
Well
The event is easy
But, u get my point
š„¹
where suzumom is I put Wis on that lil ledge and feng
I put lapalter on the bottom legge so she oulnt get his and just smamed them both ults
Kinda shame this event dont have S stages
Maybe they'd cook a good staage with the boss
I barrowed a liskcram and placed her at the bottm base area and placed my blem at the top Right base area
Some of the minigame event are annoying xD
The mob in fountain war are super bulky xD
"Borrowed a Liskarm" are we fr rn š š„
Noo dont
U need pulls and u dont use jessicar
š„
For fountain war it's probably easiest to just block the annoying ones with like a healing defender or smth.
they aren't supposed to die anyway
ur ops just deal reduced damage to them
it's stated at the start
just make sure ur units r healed and r coverin a lot of ground
that way u can get highest score
gg/lappalt/flingers 
also device had charges so u can wait once for tiles to actually be on the ground before usin them
lapp alter is a great Caster she bullies like everything

More news at 7

Cc > this flop
did I really just come across the only 2 sp fans that ever existed
yes
sp???
Im a big fan and a hater of this shit
I thought the claw game was funny.
shithole protocol
oh
I enjoyed both games more than the entirety of my sp playtime
Fountain just felt like the Eyjalt event minigame but a lil worse.
I hate the skateboard sheep most
Chat is this the dreaded skillish?
Oh no, i got sss rating on like 3rd try
ye 3rd stage was easier than second for me for some reason
It just sucks
EX Stages sucks
nope found it just now ^
Obligatory nuh-uh
what's the problem
(I havent playes them)
EX is a little dull but it's fine.
I hate it, too much sand and cannons
Working through the cannons feels like NL all over again.
Rushing through the map to open up new sections and finally make space for your main DPS op.
Lmao EX-5 be forcing you to play defensively
Tripping me up on my first try
Welp, second try clear is not so much of wasted time
ep-ex-5???
Yah, you play defensively
Thats more or less how it should go
Be careful of the explosion dudes, stun them if possible dont be like me
EX5 is fun if you know how to break it
im on ex 7 dealing with diffrent bs
Alright this is blind run, where the third cannon will spawn on phase 2?
Man.. this is might actually be harder than Witch King boss fight on EX 8.
Enemy able to contantly proc corrosion is annoying as hell.
HOW TF ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO KILL THE SANDY SHAKERS ????????????????????????
I dont have the whale
but hoestly I even bring out like 3 art casters on a sandy shaker and they dont do shit
0 def 0 res
3 art caster + 2 physical brute forcer on it and it still wont fukin die
how muach hp does it even have ???????
100k
WTF thats more than some bosses
120k on cm
30k more than boss in ex8š„±
bruh... its like 60k more on some Victorian bosses
I mean
not counting stage 2 tho
scammy! mt boss only have 20k!
yeah but you need a lot of dakka for that
Any dps just kills it in a bit
ik but thats the problem... they dont kill it on time
I got Lin, Ceobe, Lappa S2 on, and both Ray and Shwarz on it and it still ran into the blue box
What stage we are talking about š¦
EX-4
event
but in general
I hate those sandy shakers
is blowing up sand even that hard ??? your telling me I cant place a dynamite in them and they somehow still live ???
Just burst it with Kross alter or Exu or Ela whatever you have with highest peak damage.
Ex 4 is piss easy
They are quite fun enemies
120k hp, 2.4k attack and 0 defensive stats
š„¹
Cutie
ceobe wouldn't be effective here 'cause 0 def
dont have Exu and and Ela... but I did have Kroos Alter + GT on that damn thing and even big chunkers dmg with Ray and Shwarz and it STILL RAN
Enemy have high HP zero def. You play Kross alter
I mean, ray does like 80% of its hp
I tried like 6 different combos... Lin, GT, Kroos Alt, Skyfire, Ray...... to Lin, GT, KRoos Alt, Shwarz, and Ray

I need that cabybara to stay longer lol
Swarz and Ray is high in dph but low total damage skill. You need highest total damage skill operator
I planted both Shwarz and Ray into it for MAX physical... still ran........
Ray is like 80-90k
hmmm highest total dmg.......... uhhhhhh shit
She has good total dmg
so close yet so far
Yea.. even pozy is better at this point with her 130k ish total damage
my Ray is E2 S7 but no M or mod
Heck I use this shit to clear Ex4. Trust me even Kross Alter can sweep it
and Shwarz is E1 S7 but she literally carried me on the regular levels before I got Ray (rolled like few days after event release)
I was using Kroos Alt...... tho she is E1 tho
but who is tanky enough to also survive the Shaker belly flop ??? my Saria and Blaze got 2 shotted
shaker belly flop!!!
it's 2k phys
bahg
He deal no damage to Cuora 
!!!
aaagagahhgrh
I see ignored messages, is it myon knights again?
He deals 0 damage so shit dev made him blink twice to evade any solo blocker 
Cuora and one healer is strong enough to tank 2 Seal
Allat but you can still Cuora 2/3 of phase 2
Only the last 1/3 needs another blocker
well it is a belly flop right ??? and a pretty brutal one at that
Are u high
yeah thats the issue
Anyway this.. where is the next cannons will spawn.
or you can Flametail S3 it with dodge but that doesnt last long
Ain't no way you gonna rng it dawg
well my FLametail did manage to hold its own quite a while to my surprise..... UNTIL ANOTHER ONE SPAWNS
Sometimes i wish i was
And it really shouldn't need long as the boss actually has less HP than the saltfins, but let me guess, you levelled up your "Mulberry" of DPS ops instead of the standard choices.
š„¹
If you are struggling there on EX4 because of Saltfin you will most likely burn out on Ex6 
This shit worst
ehhh..... I did have Kroos Alter and Ray... etc etc... good Ops (Ray is E2 even)
Kroos and GT deal with the Saltfins pretty decently... the only time they didnt is I placed them on a terrible spot and they went for the cannons instead lmao
Saltfins were fine
What is your squad anyway. Maybe we can help with placement
GT + Kroos for a heavy machine gun is good against those... I just hate tanky units... bsaically thats my Achilles heal really in AK in general... I just hate tanky elites
hold was grinding I will show you one sec
it was almost a all range squad because of Saltfin but they hold the Saltfins really well
Feel like youre overcomplicating things
tldr: Use Wisadel
tbh... the cannons did complicate some placements... thats why Ceobe and Lin are there to take them out (tho sometimes not on time)
More like tldr; less complaining more thinking and doing
Cannons are made out Nokia I swear
well Im grinding right now so one sec
damn das crazy
what website is that tho ???
Jaye alter, Click alter, Contrail alter...
2030 ahh clear
Shut
isnt Ling still considered pretty good ???
yh for low op
Good for flexing solo clears
Useless everywhere else
My ling hasnt seen use on like, forever
Ray + Wis is pretty cracked tho ngl
How come you are talking about thinking and the posting guide video 
Theres no videoš„¹
me when i think (about opening arkrec)
Im just sending proof
what website is that tho ??? Bilibili ???
Funi 
whats cm ???
ah ok..... LMAO Im not used to websites that are super bright LMAO (too many dark modes these days)
It's easy because you are looking at "The answer" dawg. What's difficult is finding those answer.
^
š„
Anyway EX4 is indeed piss easy 
Cant be that hard to find
Its a straightforward stage
And with that guys roster, it should be a breeze
well the Saltfins are super easy... I just hate tanky elites... any type of tanky elites..... from Reunion axe weilders... red Sarkaz vamps, Fridge Robots, to Sandy Shaker
If i had his units id try a run tooš„¹
here... also I forgot also Cante is there for more anti air lmao
it "almost" makes it but just leaks that one bastard sandy shaker
those guys all have different tankiness specs lmfao
Btw Yuva if it isnt said yet
The 2 red tiles next to each cannon
sarkaz swordsmen for example have res
yeah but still fuk them
Do not fuck the Fridge Robots
speaking of that is it me or that raw HP number is always better than high def or res ???
not really
No..
either raw range unit brute force or AOE... or both
enemies with fat hp tend to have less def/res
isnt Ulp the best tank with his high HP ??? compare like whats the tankiest defender ????
ik that... but even then I see like arts enemy on some guides and he still tanks like its nothing
he has a subverted form of def with his talent, but that doesn't save him from everything
lol it's just bc he's overspecced
it's not a fair comparison
just borrow a zuo and be done with it
it's ex stage 
is the barrier resistent against the belly flop ???
its clearly a belly flop right ???
He still falls over against anything that hits remotely hard and quick enough
It doesnt matter broš
but anway who is missing dmg here ???
a better comparison "is 10k hp better than 3k+ def" well depends, however we are looking at ulpianus with 10k hp and.... who has 3k+ def again
just incase weird things like stuns and stuff (which the barrier doesnt protect)
but how is my dmg lacking ??? both Ray and Schwarz are here... big hitters... GT + Kroos Alter for machine guns on Saltfins... and Lin and Ceobe for those catapults... that was my strat basically
"just in case" 
so you've played 11 stages and doesn't even know what an enemy does, good going
its called Paranoia lol... like those damn Clarinets on the LT rerun
wait that's not even an E2 schwarz....
yeah
Uh.... I find out Texas alter event has taunt guy only on S- stages because i used to AoE swipe everything at once 
š®
Then stop being paranoid
Its a normal enemy
blame Closure then for not giving me enemy intel lol
or just, you know
actually read the goddamn texts
everyone is fighting for E2 at this point...
would be cool if theres a mechanic that allow you to practice the stage without spending sanity which allow us to see enemies intel in advance, dont you think
ik there is practice... I just hate it that sometimes you somehow 1st try it for no reason then waste your time to do it again
I remember times when CC event WOULDNT display enemy intel before you WIN stage 
I usually just try to 1st try it immediently... but things dont always go as planned
if you did it correctly the first time you just have to do the same thing again
Donāt you have too many range tile units?
kinda off... but then good luck trying to tank the belly flop
ik buts its the fact that you could have saved your time going for the 1st attempt (your not wrong)
has it been doing well for you tho
Fast deploy like gravel works very good against barrel units
most scenarios... yes..... even then usually at most it only takes 2 tries so a practice isnt needed... except for some cases
oh those are ez... also lappa silence works on them as well
only jp?
and TW
my main issue is those Sandy Shaker... with over 100k hp and a belly flop that can kill your whole squad
Saltfins... barrel guys.. those are ez
just the Sandy Shaker
see
or at best get someone with high block counts (usually defenders)
Magic or elemtal dmg operators for thoose units
I did... even focus fire from Lin + Ceobe + S2 Lappa for arts and Ray + Shwarz for dph + Kroos Alt and GT for machine guns... ended up leaking one
e1 schwarz
dph
istg if you never used her in borrows you'd fucking call wis 'shit' because you used her in e1
that's what i was saying?
Yeah lol
Can sink him but it needs elaborate setup
does the cheese even work there 
he just tile clips onto the ship
Just Weedy cheese it
It does work
Errr

You need to block him before he enters the sand tile
uhhhh so what else then ???
If you block him in front of the sand, game counts as he has traveled to the next tile
Coz Shu needs 3 tiles walk
Another operator before lappy
Needs 3 tiles walk for teleportation*
Fuck it, I choose Weedy cheese 
Cante used to be there... but I retreat since she keeps on getting both her and Lappa one shotted
š
thats what I did lol
drops Weedy and then another Op on him and he goes into the hole
but I have to use support Weedy so no auto
Defender is prefer here
S3M3 is 2 tiles yea?
3?
Isnt it 2 with m3
tried Saria before... but couldnt hold (E1 Saria btw)
2 to 4 depending on mastery level
4 is like, sl4 or something
Saria should work but maybe u lack dmg
Point is that she needs space, and boss barely has space for her teleportation, so she needs to be setup before the boss walks into the sand tile
And thats trickier than to just
Kill him
OK NVM LETS GOOOO FLAMETAIL YOUR THE BEST DODGER
I mean, honestly killing him was always easier than whatever set up
HOLY SHIT SHE DODGED THAT LIKE A CHAMP AND RAY CLUTCHED IT
Yah thats what I'm saying
ya don't need auto deploy on ex stages just a beside

ik ik lmao but I want 3 stars and that Originium
ya still get 3 stars and the originium with a borrow š
also on rerun you are probably only farming the og stages because there will be no originite on rerun
holy shit Flametail S3 wasnt even on and she still dodged it like a fukin champ
oh I didnt use borrow on that... I was talking about the boss for borrow
need that Grindstone man
wtf is this ??? a amongus map ???
that is a fun map 
Funi cannon
funi 1 tile of fucking safety
EX8 low brain usage strat is prob just hole boss p1 and Weightless captain to cannon n hole
Seal can be holed too hm
what did you do for EP-EX-7?
bruteforcing (i mean not really, i assume it was inteded) ex8 went a lot closer than i expected
considering how arf downplayed it!
Ines the bridgemakers and then just lanehold
Do you want a recording? I can replay it real quick
I doth not have ines
for the bottom you don't need ines
this si essentualy what i did
for tem I put Feng alter in the tine befor Wis is then removed her once Wis got there
oh the shitty dragon stage
Thats EX-5 not EX-7
i know i was just showing what i did on ex-5
mephisto is actually a bird
yeah
i think that screenshot is the most strategically impressive thing ive done in 2 years
This team shouldn't have an issue here
lappy alter and wis killed that dragon very fast for me
i havent been here for a while so i dont blame anyone
m8-8 cm is the only stage that hasnt been e0'd in the first arc of story
yes
ya thats gona be a tough fight
how you have inverse kaltsit?
ok talking about cn ops/gameplay without lore is allowed
the spine turned into an operator (for mod purposes idk lore)
just dont ask what happen to kaltsit
"I am medic now" Then proceeds to come down to melee tile and eat enemy ass with true damage during S3... What changed again? 
peak of AK strategy
i need her now
well now you can save
lemi geuess she not out yet
man
she will be released along with chapter 15
come to en in october ish
