strategy

[elder flume]

Against 3k def hes gona have to hit iit a lot

But eventually he will kill

[sharp pine]

how to ep ex 8

[elder flume]

Stall boss
Kill cannon
Repeat

[sharp pine]

man i cant kill canon

and how do i stall the boss

[elder flume]

Block him

If blocker dies replace with blocker

Repeat

[haughty flower]

Heard of gravel?

She does this cool thing known as stall.

Cuora can do similar but she'll need a hand if you want her to stay on the field for a while.

[sharp pine]

how

she just dies

[haughty flower]

And that, in fact, buys a fair amount of time.

His spin takes a lil while to finish and he won't move while doing it.

[elder flume]

E1 max Gravel Jaye Medic should be able to cycle stall

[haughty flower]

Meanwhile, gravel is ready every like 16 seconds.

[sharp pine]

also he just doesnt take dmg in phase 2

[elder flume]

When unblocked gain 80% damage reduction

[haughty flower]

Did you, by any chance, read his traits?

[sharp pine]

no

u really expect en to read

[haughty flower]

And did you consider doing so when you started to struggle?

[sharp pine]

its not a meme atp

[sharp pine]

ofc

not

[haughty flower]

Then go read and come back.

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Anastasio/Enemy

The two long lost techniques, Google and reverse image search.

[scarlet fulcrum]

irene with delta mod

[sharp pine]

okay i read now what

where do i stall him?

[haughty flower]

Here, there, everywhere.

[elder flume]

Usually people stall him on salt

Until phase 1 cannon dies

Then phase 2 is about how well can you tank cannon until you kill them

[sharp pine]

gravel jaye and medic?

[elder flume]

E1 max atleast ye

[sharp pine]

e1 jaye

im bricked

[elder flume]

Tbh just cycling Gravel Spot Beagle Cuora is prob good enough

[haughty flower]

Clearly e2 Crownslayer s2 and gravel s1 should do the job

[sharp pine]

why say that now that i leveled jay 😭

[haughty flower]

Now why would you do that.

[elder flume]

It was a suggestion if you had him raised already

[sharp pine]

i have him raised now

[timid nacelle]

bro what

[haughty flower]

I know it's ragebait, so why am I still angry?

[sharp pine]

[timid nacelle]

there was like less than 1 min between the suggestion and u doin it

holy hell be less agreeable

it could be wrong

[sharp pine]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just buy gnosis later

[sharp pine]

nah its okay

i already have fia and the three goobers in tp

[timid nacelle]

capitalizin on bad decisions by even more bad decisions

[scarlet fulcrum]

u probably dont need jaye at that point

[elder flume]

Never really understood E0 Jaye

Sure E1 is slight brick without full team

[scarlet fulcrum]

tp copium, they baited hard

[elder flume]

But for accessibility sake having a lifesteal op that heals so quickly to win stages is much better

[scarlet fulcrum]

E2 m3

[elder flume]

E2 Jaye can 1v1 a 2.4k atk seal

[sharp pine]

this gud?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea all depends on u

U can ditch lumen for someone more useful tbh

[sharp pine]

like who

also mf still does the range attack even when he's blocked

[scarlet fulcrum]

idk even vg yato broken here

[elder flume]

He spins every 20s

Phase 1 can cancel it with stun freeze levitate

[sharp pine]

[elder flume]

Phahse 2 can cancel it with freeze levitate

It does corrosion so the ones hit will keep losing 100 def each proc

Its why cycling blockers is good to reset def

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh u also have logos, nymph and other usual suspects

[sharp pine]

i do have them

nymph and logo

[scarlet fulcrum]

even CE nice tbh

[elder flume]

If Nymph then can just skip his phase 2 no

[sharp pine]

how

[scarlet fulcrum]

Burry him

[elder flume]

Kirn draw it
I need laptop to draw and im outside

[sharp pine]

i thought hes immune

[elder flume]

Not in phase 2

[sharp pine]

ah

[scarlet fulcrum]

Im also on mobile

https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1uCqYYVEWt dumb boss

U have better fodders here

But tbh u can also use bruteforce way

[sharp pine]

also when hes out in the sand does the timer reset or smth?

he just goes back and forth on my attempt

[elder flume]

yes

15s uninterrupted sequence

[scarlet fulcrum]

15s in sand yea

[sharp pine]

nymph doesnt reach him 😭

[scarlet fulcrum]

I think nymph+lapp will keep him on sand very long enough

[sharp pine]

tutorial pls

[smoky halo]

nymph + tragodia

:clueless:

[elder flume]

the vid above is the tutorial no

albeit very low end so stalling is harder

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dont copy pasta the vid btw, for example u can remove all cannons here. So chill play

[sharp pine]

ye i killed it off with surtr and lappalt

i dont understand how nymph stalled tho

she cant reach

[scarlet fulcrum]

Did u watch the vid

[sharp pine]

a little

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just skip on boss ded on p1

[elder flume]

theyre veering off 1 enemy 1 blue box again sigh

[scarlet fulcrum]

tbh u cant just remove cannons, the relay ur dps+blocker. Or blocker that do dps

Aka bruteforce

[sharp pine]

then how do i brute force

[scarlet fulcrum]

dps the boss, he will have DR on 2nd phase when not blocked and dash each 1/3 hp threshold

tbh just read

[weak gazelle]

and his dash can be cancel-ed right?

[sharp pine]

how?

[elder flume]

if he enters dash then no since hes invincible
if preventing before entering yes with freeze levitate nuke

[weak gazelle]

boss have no stun immune
but again have to do it precisely

[elder flume]

technically tp is also a dash canceler

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea prevent it not cancel it

[weak gazelle]

idk how fast red s2 is

[elder flume]

if he spins however it will delay the dash so lol

hes p2 stun immune btw

[weak gazelle]

oh yeah
bad word choice, prevent it the correct one

[sharp pine]

can i just stall with nymph and bruteforce

[scarlet fulcrum]

Easily

Depends on u, can do it or not

[sharp pine]

when theyre feared do they count as unblocked?

[weak gazelle]

ehh no stun immune
but freeze huh
its 2 step

gnosis can freeze it?

[elder flume]

ye

[sharp pine]

then they dont take dmg then

[timid nacelle]

I used gnosis+surtr on p2

[elder flume]

the point of fear is to sink him

if youre using fear to dps then best not to

[weak gazelle]

ohh so its slow enough huh
interesting

plan to freeze him with kjera+aurora
but dunno if it work or nah :icant:

[sharp pine]

hmm

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats the main point, if he dash he will out of nymph range

[elder flume]

just make sure Aurora can do 2 attacks to guarantee freeze

and since shes ammo based its gona be a race

[scarlet fulcrum]

His dash atleast not as far as degen

similar to cs ig

Maybe shorter

[sharp pine]

so bruteforce is kill all canons and block him until dead?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea, playing safe by killing cannon

Not necessarily must just for smooth sailing

[weak gazelle]

yeah the safest way would be like that
in fact i will choose that strat too

[sharp pine]

who can kill this boss fast?

[narrow sun]

boss has damage reduction when unblocked so its not so cut and dry

[sharp pine]

ye but when hes blocked which dps are gude here?

logo doesnt seem to cut it

[narrow sun]

probably any physical dps

[elder flume]

Wis Logos Eben Exu Lapp2 Mlynar Surtr Ceobe Texalt Yato2 Ray Ulpi

[sharp pine]

Where's the best spot to block this mf

[elder flume]

anywhere on the tiles below salt

the more you can block the better

[sharp pine]

I just block him on his path

But his bullets can reach my dps

And they die

[elder flume]

show placement

[narrow sun]

for this boss you cannot crowd your ops, since he does aoe on his spin

[elder flume]

i assume p1 isnt a problem yea

if he is a problem then this girl exists

[sharp pine]

P1 isn't a problem

Red are my dps/healers
Green my defenders/laneholders

This isn't all placements tho

[narrow sun]

so youre blocking the boss at the green tile?

[sharp pine]

The right furthermost green tile yea

[narrow sun]

you may want to retreat/redeploy if you cant burst him fast enough

since your problem is that he dashes past and spin to wins your dps right?

[sharp pine]

Ye in some runs

Also he just reaches sometimes idk why

[elder flume]

look at this timestamp
https://youtu.be/MnE4OZrYs_A?si=YN3uIGHPzmvSRt6J&t=1855

basically blockshift him enough so your dps can hit while avoiding spin

[vocal leaf]

he can’t do anything if you freeze him

[sharp pine]

finally

ty all for the tips

[clever hedge]

for freezing him, do people usually use gnosis s1, or s2 for timing?

[haughty flower]

I'd rather the S2 for consistency personally. S1 has a fair chance of getting baited by the stream of fodder enemies, to the left, in my experience.

[azure roost]

what boss?

[haughty flower]

It also still fits into the boss's skill window. He takes 20 seconds to charge up a spin, and Gnosis needs only 12 for his s2

[azure roost]

use s2 for consistency

[vocal leaf]

s3 it’s very easy to kill him in one go

[haughty flower]

You can actually even fire an uncharged s2 early, then fire a charged one and stop the skill.

[azure roost]

when snowflake appear on top

then use skill

repeat

[vocal leaf]

wtf why you guys using s2? just kill him with s3

[azure roost]

why not

ngl i didnt even bother using freeze strat

i just let him get taken by sand

[elder flume]

Imagine having dps to burst s3

[azure roost]

bruhe

[vocal leaf]

then why you recommend s2 if you didn’t use it, it would be as messy as throwing blockers

[elder flume]

Not sure if i can afford to lose Mostima to block cycle Saria

I use S2 ye

[azure roost]

s2 is just more consistent

[elder flume]

My standards is E1 max 4stars which wont have enough dps for S3

[azure roost]

even e1 gnosis can do it

[vocal leaf]

omg another s2 user? what is wrong with people

[azure roost]

smh vasallo

balls u

[kindred galleon]

this stage is so bullshit

[azure roost]

kek

oh shu strat

i think on my cn clear

i did nymph fear strat with doro

[elder flume]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1071648708518760588/1382001643356295220/Screen_Recording_20250610_211651.mp4?ex=684f7f94&is=684e2e14&hm=61151c02b23afda5efeb148e1590b9d734bb0fd6868d3b91071f40a516454d4e&

Imagine using S3 here

[haughty flower]

How did the left side even go down.

There's like 2 threats down that lane in my memory, the saltfin and basic fodder enemies.

Hello there E0Lowy, didn't know you used Discord.

[sly drift]

What is the science behind those weedy facing upward on that stage

[elder flume]

To cannon middle enemies

For some reason theyre not really smart

They see a bridge and they ignore it

[young elm]

Chat what’s the anastasio strat

[dapper hedge]

Block him

Hole him

Drown him in sands

[azure roost]

fear strat, hole strat, shu strat, burst def block strat, freeze strat.

[noble hollow]

is the boss susceptible to nymph shenanigans

[south spindle]

yes

[gilded olive]

why did this guy change route and go to the right

[elder flume]

Isnt that their normal route

You waited too long

[gilded olive]

i meant the very last seal

all the other times the last one goes to the left

[elder flume]

Because of this guy

When they mount seals they use his movement

Otherwise

[gilded olive]

that kinda explains it

also where did you get this map layout, looks interesting

[scarlet fulcrum]

Map ark pinned here

[gilded olive]

thanks

[south spindle]

wtf John Aceship is in this server?

And old aceship still linked in the pins

🥀

[mild brook]

This is where im at

[full terrace]

Genius Wisadel positioning

Brilliant Mountain+Blaze stack

[mild brook]

Just panicked so i placed everything down

Idk where to put wisadel

[full terrace]

You can place her on the right side, facing left

The boss will do one circle to the left

And then come back to the right side

Through that bottom path

[mild brook]

What about when shes about to cross?

And right skill activation

Im trying to destron cannon early with her and ejya

[full terrace]

About to cross as in moving to the left side? You can retreat all Wisadel's Revenant Shadows except the bottom one, she has Camouflage the boss wont touch her, and the bottom Rev Shadow is outside the boss's range

[wicked viper]

btw arf @full terrace

some dude asked for progression rush guide

but he got mlynar

do you reckon he should get tequila

[full terrace]

Should still get Tequila regardless because of the E2 voucher. Mlynar will take awhile to be raised manually, by the time he could raise Mlynar his squad is developed, instant E2 Tequila on the other hand is helping him to get there

Also dude is bound to raise Tequila for Base anyway

For the Sham/Teq technology

[serene umbra]

Hello ! Any ideas for the stage number 7 of the event with Thorns ?

I'm struggling with enemies that make others appear😔

[sly drift]

You mean EP 7 or EP-EX-7

[serene umbra]

EP 7

[sly drift]

Can you just slam everything using Wisadel on their spawn

[limpid ore]

still need a body to remove bridgemaker invisibility, but yes

[serene umbra]

Oh

I see I see, I have an idea

[limpid ore]

wisadel ines to deal with the salt cannon, top lane and most of bottom lane, and then someone to kill the last boatswain bottom lane

[serene umbra]

Let's try this

Until I succeeded, thanks😅!

[fierce tendon]

Boss was just a joke

Having 2 defenders and good healer can hold him, just have to kill him slowly so that defender redeployment is ready

Have to destroy all cannons asap otherwise defender can still hold

Logo s3 and eyja s3 enough to deal the cannons

[full terrace]

EP-EX-7 Low-End Clear

I was 0.1 sec away from wasting 20 Sanity 😏

Finger paused the game faster than I think

[vapid sluice]

Okay, I saw Oyuki's guide for EX-1, but it's Ines, how to cope if I use Cantabile?

Make them stay in left side? Or just go to right side?

(For the Medal)

[somber falcon]

just let them sink on their own

the distance gives enough time

[vapid sluice]

So, just put Cantabile on the right side? Alright...

[somber falcon]

I'm saying to leave them be

[elder flume]

As long as you kill the bridgemaker

And delay putting ranged

[vapid sluice]

Ah... That's what you meant...

Alright then, I'll just hit the bridgemakeer

[somber falcon]

can just put marksman on top and bottom

though it's a statcheck to kill the flyers before they get to middle

[elder flume]

Its only 5 sinks needed amyway

Can stack more ranged after

[somber falcon]

ah yeah

[elder flume]

show placement n ops

[grim hull]

Beat ex-5

lappy alter goes crazy

[turbid badge]

Guys this was crazy what did you guys do?

[sullen rover]

how can i beat dh5 with this roaster

[scarlet mortar]

ok so first of all you need to deploy penance

[sullen rover]

🤔

[haughty flower]

This is skillish

[scarlet mortar]

mission accomplished

actually wait do that again 50 more times

[merry narwhal]

you didn't deploy Penance

[sullen rover]

i see

[scarlet mortar]

you'll waste sanity get it eventually

[turbid badge]

Is this an abbreviation for skill issue

[elder flume]

Cannon having 5s interval is prob too slow for this to work

wtfart its 6s

[scarlet mortar]

bro didn't notice 6 SP before sending the ss

[elder flume]

need faster sp fr

[stuck pebble]

I hate this boss soooo much

[elder flume]

you can cancel spin wiht freeze or levitate

[undone jolt]

Does anyone have the strats for ep 2 and onwards?

And i mean the normal ones non ex

What am i supposed to do?

[merry narwhal]

block the scary enemies on a spot that makes them sit in the salt sea

they will die automatically

generally you're not supposed to destroy the cannons aside from ep-8

the bridge builders can be killed by any melee unit by dropping them onto them when they start building the bridge

they won't hit you back

you're supposed to hit the flyers once as they spawn, so they won't speed past your defensive setup

the cooks with the aura die if they have to move 3 tiles through the sand and for the faster enemies it takes 5 tiles

does that help?

[serene umbra]

Succeeded🎉

[full terrace]

Micromanaging the barrel dudes near the end in a low-end clear is such a pain is the rear

I'm 🤏 this close to just Cuora stall them

[south spindle]

Doing wis?

Keep seeing Ling clears but idk how common she is on peoples sups now a day

[glass monolith]

Well you will probably want mastery anyway for easier time being alive so just ask for someone with Ling to friend you?

If you try to random people you might get screwed because it search people of your level and people who got Ling probably long ago level 120

[south spindle]

yeah lmao

i got someone but yeah makes sense for newer players

well im newer players

[green rain]

I'm so damn envious. I've poured so much time, resources and ATTEMPTS at this stage. It's killing me

[serene umbra]

Good luck✨

[green rain]

I ran out of sanity, (irl and in game) so I'm going to scream into a pillow for a while

[steel prairie]

whats a good budget instructor guard ???

[glass monolith]

Uh... Are there any use for one?

[scarlet mortar]

a good instructor is an unlevelled instructor

i think whislash and pallas are cool but that's not gameplay advice

[waxen locust]

Need help with stage

How TF do I block all those entrances without everyone getting blown up by true damage?

[vital vessel]

honestly, just bait with yato or noir corne

[scarlet mortar]

there're only two lanes to block ftr

[vital vessel]

i don't know anyone that can tank 6k true dmg, unless ulpianus or hoe

[scarlet mortar]

6k?

[vital vessel]

he's doing story env

[scarlet mortar]

iirc you get double hp in story mode

[waxen locust]

My zuo le survived tho

[vital vessel]

oh, then why are you struggling

just try the stage first no sanity anyway

it's 1 blue box brother

[waxen locust]

Yeah but I need two blockers who don’t get blown up by 3-6k true damage

And the only guard I have that has 3K hp is zuo and he’s an enmity

[vital vessel]

you don't have any defender?

[waxen locust]

So if he has nothing to hit he just dies

No

I spent my resources

[scarlet mortar]

classic

[waxen locust]

Mainly on fedex and reed alt

[vital vessel]

borrow kaltsit?

[scarlet mortar]

you can do some convoluted stuff by dps'ing the guys into slug with ranged ops and then blocking the slugs with an FRD

[waxen locust]

That’s only one blocker

I need two

[vital vessel]

zuole can handle the other one, only 1 canon anyway

if he's hitting enemies you use his skill ya

[waxen locust]

But what if he doesn’t heal in time for another cannon

He ded

[scarlet mortar]

you only need to make sure one lane is taking the cannon

shove extra dps into the other lane

[waxen locust]

And wouldn’t kaltsot not survive the cannon thus killing monster

[vital vessel]

you know, you can solo ling it 🤫

[waxen locust]

How TF do I do that

My brain clearly doesn’t have enough capacity for this

I feel like I’m stuck in 4-48 again

[scarlet mortar]

brain grow by attempting

keep attempting

[waxen locust]

At least Donbaek didn’t do true damage

[timid nacelle]

if u r playin on story mode and losin still maybe it's time to get more upgrades

[waxen locust]

My pulls are drier than the Sahara and recruitment is being a botch

[scarlet mortar]

i'm gonna check arkrec and find a 2* clear or sth

[timid nacelle]

upgrades means unit improvement

not pulls

[waxen locust]

I know

Of which I don’t have

[timid nacelle]

which stage we talkin again

[waxen locust]

10-7

[timid nacelle]

huh

[hasty bluff]

My goat mudrock stalled the cannon the entire time

[timid nacelle]

borrow mud

she will hold 1 side

[scarlet mortar]

oh sadge nobody bothered with story mode on arkrec

[waxen locust]

I thought the cannon would cycle between both blockers?

[timid nacelle]

the other any of ur units will work

huh

no

[scarlet mortar]

not if only one lane is stacking slugs

[timid nacelle]

just the one with current highest block

[waxen locust]

Ah

Got it

Will try

Maybe I’ll send an ss of my squad

[timid nacelle]

remember enemy slugs increase block count

so not doin enough damage on one side will switch to it

[hasty bluff]

Seems possible to clear with that

[timid nacelle]

ye should be fairly straightforward

even on normal mode

[waxen locust]

Would my fedex be able to out damage the slugs in time?

[timid nacelle]

if he doesn't then no other unit will

[waxen locust]

Ok

Will try and report back if I fail or not

[timid nacelle]

just be careful with mlynar skills

if u put him somewhere

[hasty bluff]

Well

[timid nacelle]

and activate

[hasty bluff]

For slugs there is a way

Logos s1

Will one shot them

But ur problem would be the cannon

unless u bait with fodder units

[timid nacelle]

his block will increase and cannon will target him if another unit doesn't have slugs onnthem

[hasty bluff]

Also no myrtle?

[timid nacelle]

not that important imo

[scarlet mortar]

if logos is fodderizing one lane then the other lane 100% gets the cannon

[hasty bluff]

Fair

[scarlet mortar]

it's easy in that situation lmao

[waxen locust]

Mission success 🎉🎉

[scarlet fulcrum]

Why not farming event?

Oh u doing story environmental nvm, stay strong dude

[vital vessel]

he wants to get theresa

stay strong until 14-22 at least

[waxen locust]

I have a few reasons for wanting her:

1. Pretty and cute women
2. I like her VA
3. Her art
4. She’s pretty good (from what I’ve heard)
5. She can heal my fedex when there’s nothing for him to shoot
6. I like theresa 👍

[vital vessel]

i can lend you my p6 e2 60 m9 mod1 theresa 🥹

[waxen locust]

Sure

[vital vessel]

she's not that good but motivation goes a long way

[waxen locust]

I mean

I wasn’t expecting her to be like texalt/walter good but she seems serviceable

[vital vessel]

in general content i just use her as healer with s1

[waxen locust]

I like her more than skadi also

[vital vessel]

just add me

[waxen locust]

Where code

[vital vessel]

you can def tank cannon with s3

but theresa will die maybe idk

[waxen locust]

Not like she hasn’t died already 🤷

[vital vessel]

my server name is my ign

[waxen locust]

???

Wut

[vital vessel]

femnuen my in game name

[waxen locust]

Ok

Sent

[vital vessel]

lvl 29 damn

[waxen locust]

I rejoined for fedex’s rerun

I think it was during the ulpi patch

Idk

But it was during a FedEx

[vital vessel]

i can actually mod3 her but i need the mats for other higher prio ops

[waxen locust]

And I refilled all day to get him

*Rerolled

[vital vessel]

he's good op. high investment to be really good tho

[waxen locust]

Yeah

Wish I could get other peeps if I had the pulls

Logos would be next on priority list after civilight

[vital vessel]

[waxen locust]

Am planning on getting him from the anniv selector during the hot wheels patch

It is very hard to get pulls In this game

[vital vessel]

not really, it's quite generous imo

[waxen locust]

Yeah

[vital vessel]

anyway, have fun man

[waxen locust]

I think it’s just most of the stages kick my shit in 24/7

Especially stulfiera navis

I fucking hate the seaborn enemies

[vital vessel]

you're still newbie so. just play more you'll get the hang of it

[waxen locust]

Ok

[round pike]

so like how do i even beat EP/EX/8 challenge mode?

like my ass, i do not have shu and every other tutorial on youtube and bilibili have shu

[vital vessel]

wisadel borrow only
https://youtu.be/SnZ31kJd4Pk?si=ihdYSqwRltPEstsl

[round pike]

alr thanks

[steel prairie]

just questions on their roles... I heard they boost SP and I wish I have more SP boost so I can activate those damn S3 before the elites comes and wrecks them

maybe once I get modules they arent needed but Im poor af right now and Im just trying to get more units to E2

[round pike]

curious enough if i borrow operators do i still get the achievements and challenge rewards?

[remote perch]

Yes
The only thing borrow is locking is Auto Repeat, otherwise Borrow has no downside whatsoever

[round pike]

auto repeat on challenge stages useless anyways so good 👍 thanks

[elder flume]

Who gives sp other than Swire

And even then Pallas is the only instructor i would use

And Doc

[steel prairie]

Chen also does by scolding... but thats super sclow

[steel prairie]

the R6 Doc ???

[elder flume]

And shes not an instructor

[steel prairie]

talent... and with mods you can boost it further

also Swire is a instructor ???

[elder flume]

Just these

[steel prairie]

oh wow never knew Swire was one as well... (even tho I dont see her as a instructor in any lore lol)

mainly I need to get Blaze S2 and Chen S3 (maybe lapps S2 as well) up to speed because they are WAY TOO SLOW

[elder flume]

Deploy them earlier

[steel prairie]

obviously mods solve this... but Im no where near enough resources to do it

[steel prairie]

I did and it still takes ages

like Blaze S2 is horrendously slow

[elder flume]

Stage usually gets hard in the middle to the end anyway

[steel prairie]

ik but Blaze is so slow by the time even you deploy her first its either the battle is nearly over or you lost already

this is solved by modding her (and Im not even close to it)

[somber falcon]

"solved with modding"

[steel prairie]

or specialization or whatever lol

still its way faster than what I have at L7

[left pecan]

Mod3 =/= m3

[shy gull]

Any tips for EP-EX-8?

Not trying to challenge mode even

[elder flume]

Shifter left bluebox
Kill rocket with range
Kill cannons fast
Stun levitate freeze cancels boss p1 spin
Levitate freeze cancels boss p2 spin

[somber falcon]

Fear stall him

Cycle blocker

[shy gull]

Does levitate just prevent him from doing the spin or do you need to somehow time it?

[elder flume]

Time

Freeze will prevent dash if you keep it long enough

Well technically with long enough levitate it prevents it

But freeze is inherently longer

[shy gull]

Don't think I have any ops that reliably freeze

[somber falcon]

Alternatively, kill him while freeze+blocked

You can borrow

[limpid ore]

levitate is half effective in the target is too fat

[elder flume]

Just add more levitators

Irene nuke clear was Gnosis Qanipalat Irene + fall block Gravel

Gnosis was even on S2

[azure roost]

freeze, fear, blocking, shu s3, levitate, push strat

[grizzled thistle]

(Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, if not do correct me)
How to I get better at completing main story stages without having to look up guides

[elder flume]

Well the easiest way is fuck around find out

If you dont want to use sanity then theres practice mode to feel the enemy spawn timing

And you can read what they do in enemy intelligence after

But enemy intelligence can lie which is why you should read off PRTS.wiki instead for an almost no error with numbers value explanation

What are their immunities
Can you cheese it somehow with what you have
Do you have enough time to get it going

All of it will mostly be from trying yourself

Dont feel rushed to clear more stages but understand each enemy mechanic

Thats about it

Also i watch clears not specifically guides to know if an operator can do something worth in the stage and have it as knowledge for other stages

But if that counts as a guide for you can skip it

[grizzled thistle]

Ok thanks my guy

[azure roost]

ok jp done

[rich plover]

What is wrong with Anastasio? Istg, EP-8 is inconsistent to farm

[elder flume]

The first spin on phase 2 have rng timing

He will either wait before spinning or spin immediately

Auto will not save this

[sterile swan]

Also the damage he does is really weird
Sometimes you can block it 2-4 times sometimes you're just insta dead

So every time you block him with fodder you're adding RNG to the clear (this is also why people use Shu and push cheese for the clear since it's one of the few consistent autos for him that's reasonably achievable)

@rich plover

[rich plover]

what in the actual fuck

Do I just bait it out?

[sterile swan]

I just wouldn't farm EP-8 and wait for the next event with grindstones
Especially since there isn't much time until the event ends
We already have one that's coming up and it's like a 45s clear

[rich plover]

Oh the rerun?

[sterile swan]

Iirc it's the Exu Alter event with the short one, I could be wrong on that tho

Yeah it's Exu Alter event

[arctic spindle]

Everytime I think I have a fullproof EP-8 clear there is always something that fucks it up, probably due to lag.

[lofty sundial]

yea i noticed it always p2 that sometimes different

[somber falcon]

"coming up" and it's ~3 months away

[wise idol]

EP-EX-7 is virtualy impossable to beat

[haughty flower]

It is, in fact, possible to beat.

[wise idol]

I did say Virtualy impossable

[azure roost]

hmm

[haughty flower]

The bottom side is actually very simple: defender or healing defender, healer, and make all the enemies sink into the sand on the left side.

[azure roost]

normal clear or niche clear?

bottom is just blocker then rid one bridge enemy

[haughty flower]

The top side is a little more problematic, but you have a borrow slot for a reason. Borrow Logos or Wis'adel.

[azure roost]

top lane is very simple

[haughty flower]

Gravel is used to block the barrel enemies.

[wise idol]

Yup totaly easy to defend the fucking guy 1 shots everyone and then SOMEONE ALWAYS GETS THROUGH

[elder flume]

I just stall phase 1 with Myrtle Sussuro Red

Phase 2 Irene Gnosis

Oh barrel

[wise idol]

let me guess the only way to beat this is to have a character ID ONT AHVE NO SPEND MONY ON

[haughty flower]

Ignore Lutonada, she's just here to look cute.

Use your borrow slot on logos and you can easily replicate this squad.

[wise idol]

yes a screen shot is TOTALY helpful

ooh and look I dont even have half of thoes characters

or i dont have them levled

cause every time i ask if a certail low lvlv vharacter is good or usefull i get told by like everyone "no that character is shit and usless"

[haughty flower]

Okay, let's play it your way.
Borrow slot: Logos or Wis'adel. Your choice.
Blockers: Tanks. Any work. Tanky guards work too. 4 ideally.
Frd: gravel. Even e1lv1 works, her job is bait.
Healers: 2-3. 1 good one or 2 decent ones topside. 1 for the bottom lane.

Let's now see your team and see who we sub in.

[wise idol]

you have seen my team and you critizied it should work and i shoulnt be having trouble

[noble pewter]

What is ur team

[haughty flower]

Let's see it again and I'll see if I can replicate it roughly.

[noble pewter]

N r u allow borrow or not? I mean it is clearablenwith with just a borrowed wis n a few 3 star units anyways

[wise idol]

I HAVE WIS AND LOGOS

Has wis and logos I ahve a bunch of Super good characters

[noble pewter]

OK.. U just need use them well n there is no problem

[wise idol]

ok like fuck off

[haughty flower]

And so why exactly is the run failing.
Which side, top or bottom. And who is dying.

[wise idol]

thats not even helpful

[wise idol]

Some times i get top locked down then bottom gets fucked and then other times its the oposite

[haughty flower]

Alright. Can you show me your defender/guard roster?

[noble pewter]

Just put ur mountain lower left, ur wis right side, drop ur fast redeploys to take out or bait the troublesome units, rest of ur team can just do whatever they want like kill cannons or spawn camp even

[haughty flower]

I want to make some substitutions for your blockers to do a demo clear with.

[wise idol]

@noble pewter ur litterly not helping

[haughty flower]

Mountain's e2lv1, he might not quite statstick alone and he's only 2 block.

Definitely room for a leak. I want to try something else.

[wise idol]

I have tryed this already
Guess what Salor dude just goes over and fucks him

[haughty flower]

Lappy, still waiting to see your guard/defender roster in case you missed my message.

[wise idol]

ya give moment i was playing mostly on my phone

Im swaping to my PC client

[haughty flower]

Also, do you have Myrtle? Fangalt is, well, slightly problematic for DP production...and hilariously I lack chargers.

[wise idol]

I have plenty odf DP chargers

[haughty flower]

Quick list of your best ones? Agents, vanguards, even pioneers. Just whatever your best ones are.

[wise idol]

Like i said i have plenty

[noble pewter]

Like bro just...

[wise idol]

Fuck off Lego ur doing the one thing that fucking everyone hates

"here just do this"

[noble pewter]

Just...put wis right, mountain lower left, then use ur fast redeploy to bait barrel n stun the cannoneers

What more instruction do u need

[wise idol]

"herderherder Just do this and just do that Simple ur a fucking dumb ass dented person"

[noble pewter]

I mean dude.. What more instruction u want, u want a vid of the clear?

[haughty flower]

Mountain's apparently been leaking likely due to level issue.

So I'm trying to figure out the other blockers we can run here.

[noble pewter]

Then add a healer there or bring more replacement units

[wise idol]

I litterly said what i did several fucking times and your asnswer is " simple just do this or that "

[noble pewter]

I used only 6 slots

[narrow sun]

e2lvl1 doesn't provide any stat benefits over e1max, so it's recommended to give him a few levels

[haughty flower]

Okay forget that. The defender/guard list. Soon, if you can.

[wise idol]

no many guards lvvled

[narrow sun]

gavial s3?

[wise idol]

im Freeish to play so i dont ahve alot in resorces

[noble pewter]

But like even a beagle can survive lower left

U don't need strong unit literally

The wis right side already soften everyone up

[wise idol]

I guess your more Dented than my roomate

[noble pewter]

Bait the barrel

U must bait the barrel though

[narrow sun]

e2lvl20 is very cheap

[wise idol]

depends ont he character ur trying to E2

[narrow sun]

i mean e2lvl1 -> lvl20

[wise idol]

Gavle was by no means cheap to E2 nor was lappy

[narrow sun]

of course not

[haughty flower]

And any defenders?

[wise idol]

Wis was VERY hard on resorces to E2

[haughty flower]

If not it's fine, 1 or 2 would be nice though.

[wise idol]

I have a few E2ed

[narrow sun]

i'm not talking about e2, i'm talking about e2 -> lvl20

generally anything above e2lvl60 is a huge sink in resources and not recommended

[haughty flower]

I'll roll with an E1 gummy for the sake of simulation. Alright. A minute.

[wise idol]

E2ing any decent character is a Decent amount of resorce drain

[narrow sun]

not the promotion, the levels

the levels just cost a little bit of lmd and records

[wise idol]

you gota get the person to E2 first to lvl it hence the recorce drain

[narrow sun]

yes but after, the resource is very light

[wise idol]

yes its easy to lvl a character But getting them to E2 is the hard part and EATS up a significant amount of LMD

[wise idol]

I think i may need to get Oni's second Skill lool

[noble pewter]

Just use cardigan cannot?

Lower left just use cheap ez unit, ur fast redeploy u have texas n gravel, u can even plop down more of ur op unit right side ranged for more poke

Use ur global dmg

U just stun the cannoneers with texas n bait the barrel with gravel, use wis n logos skill when necessary

[noble pewter]

Just use the cardigan or ur blemi s1, afk

[wise idol]

Someone ALWAYS GETS THROUGH

[noble pewter]

Who

Is it the top? Block the lanes don't be like me n use 6 units, the invis can walk through

Block all the lane top, bot u rotate if die, use texasalter m gravel focus bot more

Top u don't need worry, cannon even if hit wisdel shouldn't kill as kalsit will heal

If u have texasalter or other fast redeploys u can also bring them for more insurance

https://youtu.be/VSxMQk_yJMg?feature=shared
Anyways, here is the vid in case it help, I zoned out near end n almost let bot leak though, is best to save texasalter to stun all the cannon sailor enemy though, I zoned out a lot

[wise idol]

guy ur in challnege mode diffrent set of cercumstances

[haughty flower]

That video actually is quite decent. I've also spent some time messing around and this is the answer I've come up with.
Notice the Wis'adel crystal stuck in the top lane? That's one of your lynchpins for the second half of the stage.

[wise idol]

why is everyone always in challenge mode

[haughty flower]

Replace ops as follows:
Thorns: Gavial Alter
Ansel + Spot: Kaltsit
Ptilopsis: Nightingale

[wise idol]

I dont ahve gravle alter

[noble pewter]

cause if u can do cm then u can do normal cause it easier

[haughty flower]

Gavial Alter, silly. Your green guard.

[wise idol]

your dented my guy

[cedar needle]

Because in 99% of the cases, unless CM changes enemy spawns or map layout, a strat working in CM will also work in normal

[wise idol]

EXCEPT IM IN EX

[noble pewter]

U r rage baitin at this point

[cedar needle]

Like in this case CM is just tile ban + enemies having more stats, so there is no reason why something works in CM and not normal mode

[haughty flower]

The CM conditions just remove 3 tiles, yah. In regular it's a lil easier but I'm just devising a bulletproof method that will work in either.

[wise idol]

your just being dented on purpose at this point

[haughty flower]

If it works in CM, it works in EX for this specific stage, basically.

[noble pewter]

bro is crashing out

[wise idol]

Dude Someone ALWAYS gets through soome fucking how

[wise idol]

nvm I thaught you mean the lil lion girl not my Gator

[haughty flower]

Try Kaltsit's S2 instead of her S3 even if it's only SL7, for bottom. Wis'adel will help a lot.
Topside, time Logos to either a big horde or a captain guy, the one who summons fodder enemies.

[noble pewter]

Record ur game n see who is the one, then stop him

[wise idol]

I was using her S3 cause it helps her summons more

[wise idol]

it fluxuates like i said If i locvk down top a bottom gets through if i soemhow lock down bottom a top gets through Or the fucking salor Obliterates everyone

[narrow sun]

Kalstit S2 is good for multi-target and survivability, it might be better here

[narrow pendant]

I see you guys are having fun

[wise idol]

nope im trying to get past EX 7 and its .... Giving me issues

[narrow pendant]

Cant say, habent played ex stages yet

[wise idol]

you ahve 3 days

[narrow sun]

guess you just gotta play at X1 speed and lock in on both sides

[sly drift]

Probably by the mobs pirate summons leader.

[narrow pendant]

Thats fine to me

Arent that hard id say

[noble pewter]

I used 6 slots, u have like lot more free slot, use those slot to lock down both side the right side many more space deploy ppl, put down ur casters etc etc, aim bot or left

[wise idol]

no its the salor person its self one taping my guards

[noble pewter]

What is salor person

[haughty flower]

Anyways the lynchpin for making the run a lot easier is this particular little Wis'adel summon. Notice how the cannon guy is targeting it?

[full terrace]

@wise idol here, this is normal. Blaze = your Gavial

CM plays the same

[wise idol]

this fucking dipshitstain

[haughty flower]

Their Mountain is e2lv1, he'll falter on bottom due to stats methinks.

[sly drift]

If you mean the dude who slam you with a drum. You can bait his first attack with gravel or something

[noble pewter]

Just shoot him with ur logos or wis skill in my clear u don't see me blocking that guy at all

[wise idol]

Oh sure if i dont block him ya he dont one tap a guard but then his lil ass buddies kill everything

[narrow sun]

yes it's very important to time your skills so that you kill from distnace

Wisadel has aoe so she's very helpful

[haughty flower]

Boatswain should be dying to Logos s3. Time your skill around him if you can.

From my runs I've found he gets necrosis burst pretty quick on s3, so he should both take more damage and deal less. Makes life easier.

[wise idol]

again if i lock down top someone at the bottom gets through

[haughty flower]

Wis'adel is your lynchpin here.

[wise idol]

no cause she gets obliterated by the fucking cannons

[somber falcon]

😴

[haughty flower]

Look at what the cannon guy is targeting here.

The summon. Your trick is, during phase 2, distract them.

Throw gravel, cycle Wis'adel s3, use Texalt even. Just keep them off Wis.

[wise idol]

then some asshole at thr top will get through

[haughty flower]

Logos s3, Gavial Alter skill 3 or 2 even depending on your M3, Pepe s2 SL7 even seems ok.

[full terrace]

And this one for CM

[haughty flower]

Remember: logos s3 the captains. Wis'adel the cannon gremlins. Gravel bait both barrels and cannon gremlins.

Texalt s3 can act as your emergency button in case things have gone wrong.

Hell, if you're out of other options to bait the cannon guys or buy time to prevent a leak, drop Myrtle and Cantabile. They should be off cooldown.

[sly drift]

There's actually nothing fancy advanced play on this stage even without any broken carry. Just lanehold and time your skill better

Even very basic placement near bluebox working fine

[haughty flower]

Waow krooster

I assume it's because they pause the cannon guy skills?

[sly drift]

Krooster is goated. She can cancel both the drum guy and cannon using her mini stun

Krooster always been goated

[haughty flower]

Oh she cancels drum even?
How bad is the RNG?

[sly drift]

Always working tbh. Her firerate so fast to proc it

Drum guy need slightly good rng to cancel because how short their attack window since blocked but for cannon charge Near 100% success in my experience

[haughty flower]

That's rather impressive.

[wise perch]

ex8 beating my arse

when does the boss dash

[narrow pendant]

Beat it back

[narrow pendant]

Every 33.5%

[wise perch]

hmmmmm

[full terrace]

When he loses 33.3% of his HP

[wise perch]

aight

[haughty flower]

Basically twice, once every third of his hp.

[wise perch]

not sure how to hit him while he's on the top lane tbh

[haughty flower]

If you're struggling with it being too fast use a tank and frd to stall him.

[full terrace]

You dont. Wait for him to come down

[narrow sun]

boss damage falls off hard in front of a good defender

[haughty flower]

Typical strat is either to not hit him topside, or hit him right next to the river with your DPS.

[velvet drift]

Wanna ask, which carries+ buff should i go in this SSS emergency stage?

[haughty flower]

Wis'adel. If the boss is the problem, use S1 with sniper stack for aspd on this final stage.

If you have other ways of handling the boss s3 caster stack is perfectly fine too.

[full terrace]

Sort your Snipers by Deployment Cost (ascending) and take the first 12 cheapest units. Then your strongest units 1 from each class. Use the tower-exclusive device that boosts Sniper equipment

[velvet drift]

I see, what ratio of classes do i want in my starting class and what are the ones i should get per stage clear?

[wise perch]

ok ulpianus is broken and can just face tank everything lol

[south spindle]

basically everything in general content

realized you can have ulpianus face in the direction anastasio will go and then snipe him with S3 even after he jumps away

[wise perch]

I've decided to just double down and bring more AH for cm surely this works

[haughty flower]

AH handily deals with EX-8.

[wise perch]

i just pushed him back into ulpi with Spalter lol

[south spindle]

AH needs Ulpianus to be not a joke
Ulpianus doesn't need AH lol

[mild brook]

This is where im at rn help pls

[full terrace]

1 from each class, your strongest units. Mine are: Ines, Ulpi, Shu, Wisadel, Lappcaster, Eyja, Skadi, Ascalon.

Generally you dont draft extras midprogress because that will bloat your deck pool

[south spindle]

With minor adjustments to your strategy you can make it work, def have what it takes with Wis
watched newbie do CM an hour ago with Wisadel

[full terrace]

You want the consistent carries-fodders only deck

[wise perch]

ngl this feels like one of the harder boss stages we've had in a while

[south spindle]

hes kind of so so not that much harder than lappy

Vina Victoria event was the joke bosses, but the boss stage was still a little hard

[full terrace]

During the boss fight you want to stack Snipers on your fastest/hardest hitting unit on the right side and have him/her camp the device l

[sly drift]

Gotta applause someone who mald the stage without destroying the cannons. One of my people

[mild brook]

I just dont know how to eyja dies bc of the cannon guy

[south spindle]

eh its not 100% necessary they can def brute force with the mlynar wisadels

use wisadel to kill the cannon guy early but idk if eyja can even reach

Ah E1 hoshi F

[mild brook]

She can tank the spin once

[south spindle]

can you E2 her? should be useful for stalling the boss if she can hold him consistently

if you can stall him on phase 1 you can use eyja to freely kill a cannon or two

[wise perch]

nah Spalter holds her weight
I js did cm and the boss didn't even make it to ulpi lol Spalter permastalled him

[haughty flower]

Goat

[south spindle]

Spalter is fine just the rest are a little suboptimal

Spalter is very good for this boss ye

[wise perch]

skadi no comment
glaadia isn't bad as a puller tho?

[south spindle]

Even gladiias a bit much as one slot just to keep ulpi alive

uh if you can make use of gladiia pull then shes worth the slot

[wise perch]

I actually did on this map she solos left blue box

[mild brook]

Not enough money im trying to e2 ulpianus first doe

[haughty flower]

Goater

[wise perch]

and also pulls the barrel guys into the hole

which is very nice

[haughty flower]

Goatest

[south spindle]

o ai, is Wis what you are borrowing?

if you're on pc i can watch in vc to see whats going wrong

[mild brook]

Lvl 80 s3m3

[mild brook]

Phone

[south spindle]

just making sure its wisadel that it is you're borrowing*

[mild brook]

Yeah she strong bullet explodes

Ill get it eventually

Ill destroy cannons

[south spindle]

ok it shouldn't be too bad just keep experimenting

you'll be fine

like i said newbie with E2 Silverash Mlynar Lappland alter got it with wisadel borrow

[mild brook]

Yup just struggles on ph2 because wisadel runs out of bullets

[south spindle]

Lapp2 is nice for the cannons but

you have other operators built

[full terrace]

When Wisadel is shooting the boss, slow down your play and wait when she is about to shoot, then deploy someone to block the boss. When the boss is blocked he loses his 80% Damage Reduction

[mild brook]

I have no lapp alter, i wish though shes so strong

[full terrace]

Yes the blocking unit will die but thats fine

[south spindle]

lapp2 is good but shes not that strong don't stress it

theres far stronger units coming in the next 6 months

[haughty flower]

Lapp2 is just a lazy way to clear cannons this event.

[full terrace]

Also dont retreat your Myrtle, you need constant DP for throwing bodies at the boss

[mild brook]

Okek okek

[full terrace]

Bring more cheap Fast Redeploys

Such as Gravel

Jaye

[mild brook]

Ok ill bring everyone

[full terrace]

I think Crownslayer works too

You just need 0.x sec for Wisadel's shot to land

Then the body can go die

[mild brook]

What to buy in shop first? In planning to buy important things then farm for sniper chips for exu alter

[south spindle]

exu alter is a specalist...

[full terrace]

You are asking the wrong person I bought the shop out

[south spindle]

[merry narwhal]

xp, lmd and skill books are always good

[mild brook]

How about wheelchair girl

[south spindle]

yes shes a sniper

[narrow pendant]

Disabledknights

Lets go

[wise idol]

lappy is disabled mentaly does that count?

[noble hollow]

close enough

[wise idol]

actualy alot of caracters are mentaly disabled lol so i think thats the norm lol

you can even call being infected a disability as well

so thats like 40% of the arknights caracters

[wise perch]

true to real life

[wise idol]

lol

[wise idol]

but IRL theres a new Mental disability and i wont say it ehre so that makes another 10% lol

[wise perch]

shrug
everyone's proabably some flavor of neurospicy

[jovial nest]

is it a bit overkill to consider using both Tragodia S2 and Nymph S2?

[narrow pendant]

Yes

[elder flume]

If you need to

Theres no rule to do or not to do

[narrow pendant]

Since tragodia is nymph but way better

Hes broken

🥹

[elder flume]

I use 5+ shifters on a regular basis

Why not fear + charm

[jovial nest]

I'm building a "no fun allowed" team of the usual suspects of harder content (high risk/points = high/absurd DEF) so i was thinking if i should bring Tragodia and remove someone else other than Nymph.
Planning on raising Chilchuck. Might replace Canta with Surfer.

i don't have any further info on what else would be useful like would Shu S3 be considered for hardest contents or maybe Yu S2?

[elder flume]

Do note it may be supobtimal if enemies get slowed and you are trying to direct them to a specific tile with that slow

[jovial nest]

I'm aware

i'm not using all of the above at the same time

Tragodia/Nymph's/both goals is delaying while Saria/Suzu/Mostima are there during the nuking process

[mild brook]

Eyja cant kill cannon

[jovial nest]

yeah they have pretty decent HP

hmmm

i might add Gnosis on the team

he's been quite the common pick in CCB2-3

btw

shift doesn't get nerfed/annoyed by slows/-mspd, right?

they can still be shifted their full strength even under Suzu/Saria S3s?

[elder flume]

Ye

Its tied to velocity

[jovial nest]

good

i can still have fun with Weedy during those CCs

removing the 3rd agent for now

[south spindle]

4 agents

NOW

[jovial nest]

ngl keeping Chilchuck's S1M3 does sound fun especially when enemies are idle

although it's getting harder and harder to consider how much ranged tiles will be used and what will be constantly cycled alongside agents being used as body blockers

[elder flume]

Thats why premaking squads isnt that useful

[jovial nest]

i'm aware

[elder flume]

I just wait to see 6 months ahead

[jovial nest]

but i do like having a squad ready for blind runs

and i do make sure i don't get spoiled by maps

semi-blind clears are still pretty fun

part of the fun is solving the more normal content my way

[velvet drift]

Wanna ask, what loadout should i do in this map?

[full terrace]

6 Snipers 6 Casters and 8 of your strongest units

A couple of ground units to block helps a lot here

The boss idles for awhile on the left side, Lappcaster/Goldenglow is amazing on that tower

[velvet drift]

Are the 6 snipers and 6 casters should be my cheapest ones?

[glass monolith]

If you expect snipers and casters not be used outside stacking sure you free to bring even drone as sniper

[mild brook]

Having trouble with the seal too tanky, i always kill the cannon guy though

[next wigeon]

Your borrowed Wis'adel should be able to kill it

[mild brook]

Closest ive won i guess

[mild brook]

She cant reach but i solved the seal problem

[sly drift]

Dawg you missed two enemies already
Wdym close to win

[mild brook]

Yeah just on the last part i forgot about the barrel guy

[next wigeon]

Wdym can't reach?

I killed those things with Wis'adel

On the rightmost bridger

[full terrace]

Yes

[mild brook]

I placed wisadel near base

[next wigeon]

I have Wis'adel facing up

[mild brook]

I have her placing left

Ill try that

The spinning move reaches the summon so i have her facing left

[full terrace]

The boss's range is 2 tiles. Wisadel has Camouflage when there is a Revenant Shadows next to her, so for example if the boss is on the upper side, and then you retreat all Revenant Shadows save the furthest one from the boss (3 tiles+ away) Wisadel will not be targeted by the boss even though she is only 2 tiles away from him

Make good use of this mechanic

[next wigeon]

Basically what arf said

[full terrace]

Keep it in the back of your mind that Wisadel's position is not the tile she is standing on, but rather her Revenant Shadow's tile

[mild brook]

Yes i placed her there

Is facing up better?

[full terrace]

The boss targets someone in his range (2 tiles), prioritizing last deployed assuming nobody has Corrosion damage stacked

And when he spins, 8 tiles around his target is also hit by the spin

Yes your Wisadel is safe there since she is 3 tiles away

But there is someone/something in front of her

And the boss hit this someone/something and the damage splashed to her

The direction she is facing on has nothing to do with it

[next wigeon]

You should also get Gravel to E1 at least

[mild brook]

https://tenor.com/view/i-understand-it-now-ok-i-understand-it-now-i-understand-it-gurm-bear-gif-4859748791707698675

[mild brook]

Not enought money

[mild brook]

Ill do it now thanks

[next wigeon]

Rip

[full terrace]

Good luck there

[next wigeon]

Also you can remove Kafka ig?

[full terrace]

General tips for you is that

[next wigeon]

Sleep doesn't do much

[full terrace]

When the boss is on the top path, retreat Wisadel's top and left Revenant Shadows leaving only the bottom one

And when the boss is on bottom path, retreat her left and bottom ones leaving only the top one

[mild brook]

I find her sleep skill better stall than one hit meatshields

[next wigeon]

Your Gravel has barely anything

She's also on the bad skill

[mild brook]

Should i retreat wisadel as well when the boss leave her line of sight and reposition?

[full terrace]

You can do that if you can stall him long enough and reposition sure

Kafka helps with that yes

Also another trick: you can deploy Gravel or someone 2 tiles in front of the boss

[mild brook]

I dont have choice i dont have money plus i need someone for the barrel

[next wigeon]

My only issue with Sleep is that while something is stalled by it you can't do dmg to them

[mild brook]

Yeah i noticed that i thought theyre just out of range

[next wigeon]

Minus some extremely niche ops

[full terrace]

He will perform ranged attacks on that unit

Slightly delaying his movement

[mild brook]

Yes yes thank you

[next wigeon]

That's why the usual stall is Freeze, Stun, Meatshield, Shu and Bind

Mostly the latter 3

Freeze and Stun Immunity is a bitch

[jovial nest]

i prefer -MSPD debuffs

no boss has immunity to it

Saria S3, Ascalon S2, Mostima S3

although bind is a nice consideration though if we're considering Ray S3, Ethan S2 or the like

[merry narwhal]

Can Anastasio's blink be skipped if he's levitated as he reaches the hp thresholds?

[south spindle]

Even if you get him under threshold while not blocked he will blink next time he’s blocked
I presume it works like this not 100% sure

[elder flume]

As Light said

If you levitate him pass the threshold then you better keep him levitated

[timid nacelle]

can frozen stuff be levitated

[elder flume]

Yes

[timid nacelle]

don't know if I should be happy or not about this

[sly drift]

Thorns Alt debuff affect those who are blocked by operator he marks with S3. Even if it technically outside the area.

Using his S3 actually much easier than I thought

[full terrace]

Well blocked target is technically within the blocker's tile. Patriot's shadow is on Hoshi's tile

[sly drift]

Yea.. whatever the reason is.. it's great they made the S3 works that way.

[ember epoch]

does Anastasio teleport a node further when he enters Phase 2, or can I stop it by having someone block him?

[glass monolith]

He teleports on specific tile on his pathing in phase 2 unless he reached it during phase 1 (Because he loses "can't sink in sand" so both times it take him to our side of map)

[ember epoch]

ohhhhh, ok ok thanks

[wicked viper]

@left pecan do you think i should add more "easy" or "hard" question

[left pecan]

As in they are easier/harder than the current questions at hand ?

[wicked viper]

i can ask something easy like
what is the weight modifiers in CW-10/CW-EX-8/CW-S-5 stage

or hard like

well

non-math

i dont think i should add more math

seem unfair

[glass monolith]

I believe CW is like -3 weight

[wicked viper]

nah

-5

weight can go negative too

[left pecan]

Math is just looking up numbers ye

[glass monolith]

I have sinned - I killed everything with Astgenne before pushing become relevant

[left pecan]

Tho what kind of info would make for a hard question ? Base is an easy answer but most are still math related

[wicked viper]

theres a spectrum of "obscure" and "common knowledge"

like the proviso question is more common

while obscure is like

how many tile shift

but if you know where to look

the answer for the shift one doesnt even need math

some of these can be solved by just looking up

which i tried to avoid those question, and prefer the logical or pattern recognition

[elder flume]

How many tiles shifted will it be if Rope S2M3 pulled from 3.7 tiles away on a weight 3 stationary enemy

[wicked viper]

i just use the standard formula

maybe i shouldnt include that question
