or weedy/ange if wanna go push route 
i think ulpipi much preferable if wanna have someone to tank, ad support side, as long as u have gladia built 
no need to worry def shredding via corrosion...
and he can actually tank p2 anastacio
which means u only need to deal boss when hes in dashing phase
if you have enough damage then Gnosis S3 to burst before he dashes
i actually forgot boss only immune to stun at p2 despite looking at his pokedex 
w8 i dont remember him being sleep immune?
no way another L over so many Ls to sleep knights??? 
its hard
Its not hard 🙂↕️
Not gona deal with this anymore
Its imperfect due to 1 enemy dying to not salt but im too lazy to fix it
spark of joy
i dont understand boss, he just ded
hmm
If you throw all the big guns at him he just dies yes 😂
I went in blind on EX-8 and didnt even deploy Wisadel
She was acting as my good luck charm
If it works it works

god i remember my blind cn run on ex 8
and didnt bother
i just abuse someone nymph s2 for fear
then use doro stall
funni shit

Okay whoever made EX-5 deserves diarrhea everyday
Actually whoever make EX8 so hard to auto reliably also deserves it
Nightmare for new account
Why do you want to auto ex8
??
oh lmao

Sweating left and right to deploy defenders & specialist to clear the boss and found out he rngs the spin when he respawns
Might as well borrow Wis and nuked him dead
Nah even wis didnt make me instawin that
won without her tho, because of rng and weird strats
nah but i'd rather do EP8 than EX5, just so uncanny and extremely weirdly structured
Just plant him to the sand bro
EX5 was surprisingly okay for me, Cuora + Silence top and SA s2 bot
Left side generic Gummy + some caster
its just the sudden amount of the enemies with all the cannons placed so conveniently

Marcille S3M3 can take out cannons in 1 skill if you remove shield dr
Very very off
Even with the inspire base stat
I think you missed the warfarin lmao
Nah
I did account for warf- oh wait i think it might be something else
I also, somehow, forgot to add the 330% on def calculation
Listen the quiz's result is already bad and im not exactly proud of any of the result cuz i kept missing important details
All i know is: ray does big pp number and i love her for it
Whatever bro fake shiller
Keep trying
Fix the Ray calc
It’s a 5 digit number by the way
Slave driver
Petition to add 9999 damage cap 
eben enjoyers in shambles
Uhm get shot
Krooster is the goat lol
Just a reminder, EP event will be gone in 15 hours
how do I clear this? The barrel guys have ridiculously high HP and do too much damage to be blocked off
and the seals are immune to the sand thing
I can’t place anyone in the red zone because the cannon one shots them
could you send the squad you're using
my bad
Get *2 yato/gravel and do thus when they spawn
Those circle gives aspd/dodge to mobs on it
yeah I've been doing that with mayer's drones but even without the barrel they do too much damage and I can't defeat them without lathering on ranged operators, which then means I can't take out the seals once they arrive
do I maybe have to cluster the enemies up in front of the cannon so they get stuck in the sand trying to cross?
and the seal instantly one or two shots everything so I can't deal enough damage to take it out
blaze can take 3 hits from it, maybe 4 or 5 with a healer, but that only gets the seal down to half HP
the other problem is that I can only have one defender in front of the top lane so I can only hold 3 enemies
and I'm not doing enough damage to take them out before they build up to >3
Where is your e2'ed 5* op?
I don't have one
everyone told me that none of the 5* I have are worth investing in
what? not even tequila? 
where you free your 5 star? where lapp, ptilo, warf, sham, ely
also no I will not use Silverash
someone said shamare is decent but not versatile so I haven't invested in her too much
You've certainly made some unique choices with this account, and not all of them are positive.
shamare is for endgame content yeah, not good for a first e2
Anyways, my suggestion is to blow an event disk, blow 65 sanity to get Tequila, e2 him, borrow Lappland Alter, and clear the stage.
I started playing in 2020, quit in 2022, and only came back 3 days ago 😅
is there an alternative to him?
Lappland would be nice but you lack selectors apparently so that's cooked.
you could start a new account and have new player benefits 
don't want to, I pre registered on this account
I don't believe in rerolling anyway
it’s ok, 2020 acc is very valuable 
Just eat the unfortunate cost of your e2 tickets for levelling a "dirty male", overcome your sexism for about a minute or two then borrow pretty crazy woman to beat stage.
dirty male 💦 
I'm happy to play men in ZZZ and genshin, but not here
is there no strategy or technique that will allow me to beat the stage? like is it a skill issue or an "all your characters are weak" issue
By technicality, it's a skill issue-e0 lv1 ops can clear the stage. But the skill, patience, and planning threshold, along with needing specific ops to do it, means it's really not your fault
This event just has some particularly difficult enemies and mechanics since your team is really underleveled or leveled poorly, ie Amiya being e1lv65
Unfortunately, it's not getting easier. The next event starting in about 2 days is also rather annoying.
So if your goal is clearing, the ideal method is Tequila into an e2 borrow.
I see, thanks
If I can't beat it using what I have I'll just give up then, I only wanted to clear it to get rose salt
Amiya's leveled that high because she's my second favorite character lol
appreciate the advice tho 
I suggest farming the earlier stages the best you can for some LMD and EXP out of the shop. Your roster sorely needs it.
yea lol I've been running EP-3 on auto deploy for the past couple hours
how much LMD is considered a lot in this game? I have about 1 million rn
I know in genshin 1 mil is basically nothing
thats nothing gone in 1.5 characters built
you can raise some 4stars, they’re good and cheap
if only e1 you could probably build 3-4 4 stars
1.5 of 4* rarity? Because 6* will consume that 1mil before you module probably 
6* needs 720k roughly
i meant 6*
does that include m3 or nah
oh lol
760 mb.
Module adds like 300k.
point still stands
It's still not nothing, a good 6* with a full level to e2 would be massive for this guy's roster.
indeed cause then he can borrow another broken e2 wis/lappalt/logos
those 6star are dog water tho
better e2 4stars you don’t need catalysts
They've got multiple e0 ops on the team rn so keep that in mind 
only issue is he dont got the instant e2 voucher.
I have an E2 voucher for 5* I think
and a lv80 thingy
erm krooster?
he already posted above
y0 6stars 
You're going to want to splurge a bit on the degen banner or your team is kind of cooked for a while.
yh newbies really do get much better treatment now then on release
is that before or after january? I was planning to save as much as possible so I can guarantee myself eyja or her hvit aska version
It's in 2 days.
your issue is you dont wanna play males but you dont have the roster for that
If you don't pull her the next solid banner will be, well, Eblana in a few months I believe.
After Eblana you'll be eating well as Ascalon, Mon3tr, Exusiai Alter and Lemuen are all up for grabs, but that's not happening in a while.
Oh yes, reedic also arrives at some point in the next 2 weeks, in shop. Hope you have 180 gold certificates stored up.
next 2 weeks? i believe its much sooner
what are gold certificates? the golden hexagon things?
actually wait lete me look that up
oh I have 12
hmm are people really going to pull for her? she seems skip, i mean for no eblana simps 
my advice would be to take out the cannon shooting at your team with casters like amiya and click (face them left and right so they hit the cannon and not all the enemies spawning). And then use a defender to block the big saltfins, and deploy more DPS to destroy them. I found EP-4 harder than EP-5 and EP-6, but I think it's doable. The hardest part is probably keeping your team on the bottom aside alive while the casters are killing the cannon.
The barrel guys need to be intercepted by a fast redeploy like projekt red to stop them from killing your whoever's holding the bottom side
the problem is that all my defenders die in 1 hit to the seal
cuora can take 2 hits
use cuora
then use skill as soon as it reaches her
she should last a while with a healer on her
e2 her, both cuora and gummy, they’re really good
cuora + a healer ought to be fine, they do a splash attack so the healer can't be next to them
I was tanking it with a E1 40 Saria and I think your Cuora ought to be similarly tough, tougher with her skill up
You just want the first clear or do you want to auto this
just first clear
I can usually defeat everything except the seals, problem being that there are 3 of em
she lasts about 3 hits with healer
Here, this is your squad.
Beagle = your Cuora
Adnachiel = your Blue Poison
Kroos = your Exusiai
Orchid = your Earthspirit
Hibiscus = your Perfumer, and if that's not enough add Shining
I tried to emulate your weaker ops by not activating any of their skills except Vigna. The key point is to destroy the Cannon fast (using Arts damage), it must be destroyed before the first barrel guy moves.
omg this is so helpful thank you
You are welcome

Mountain good operator
Even as an old player, I do bring him from time to time if i just want an early drop casual laner i dont need to take care of.
best starting strat for IS joklumarkar for brute force meta player? i found penance can solo many maps but im trying to figure out how to start and who is meta
Is there a recommended lvl to farm Expedition records
probably 7. just keep going up until the bonus stops increasing
or until you cant reliably clear a run
10 is the higest bonust at x1.5
7 is for IS3, not 4.
play 6* for too long make me dull when it come to 5* only
to think i struggle this much for a mere ex-7 :icant:
1 more map and be done with this 
Oh 8's gonna be a doozy have fun.
Took a dozen tries but we've done it
How does Shu work against Anastasio?
You teleport him back to the Salt and drown him in his Phase 2 since only Phase 1 has capabilities to swim
So can I just use Shu and some DPS?
Yeah sure
A healer might be useful as a safety net as well.
Shu's good, but depending on how long your DPS takes she might run into issues.
Yea u better borrow good dps instead if u smh have questionable dps, nymph cheese also exist
Fear?
fear
Yea, almost same. fear him to sand during 2nd phase. Different flavor but she also act as dps
Where do you recommend I put her?
#strategy message the example for her vid carry, if u have good dps just borrow shu
Welp wisadel also solve it, the boss have trash stats as long as u read his mechanic
Yea no kidding u can even sweep all cannon with this
I love global damage
Yea, just bait/tank his circle attack and block him during 2nd phase
U can do it, i believe in you. U have like 4 and half hrs
Hmmmm....yea I think I'll just use Nymph to stall his Phase 2
His teleport location is fixed right?
If he already passed that checkpoint he will start from tile he dies
Gotcha
Question: What's the trigger range for Phase 2 Anastasio's AoE attack?
Exact same as phase 1
Its not on cd and your op is in range
Oh range
1.8 tiles
So around 2 squares ish
Omg kirn
Damn, it's 2 hours message 
When there is an operator 2 tiles away from his position, if there are multiple operators in his range, he prioritizes the one who does not have Corrosion damage otherwise he selects the last deployed. When an operator is selected to be his target, he hits everyone in the surrounding 8 tiles from that operator as well. He does the spin every 20 secs, if he is fully stalled this is 4 slashes in Phase 1 ~> 4 slashes ~> spin, or 6 slashes in Phase 2 ~> spin ~> 6 slashes ~> spin (boss gains a bit of aspd in Phase 2).
Can Cuora tank Phase 2 spin attack?
What stage is this
EP-EX-8
Cuora E2 with Medic(s) can under the condition that you destroyed all 4 Cannons
Hnmmm, I think I should have enough DPS for the midget
Probs gonna use Shu
Play my ep ex 8 
Hi i.a
Hi ia 😄

Watch that EX-8 for Shu positioning reference
Wisadel can be substituted with any laneholder(s) plus Phase 1 boss killer
CM is basically the same innit?
yeah
Ok so that same
Play ex-8 cm for intel certs 👍
"20%" is how much you should expect. It can be different per stage. I still laugh my ass off invisible 40 or something attack speed in one of Texas alter CM stages (One which has "Range increased for this guy" in conditions)
But my cute af ghosts
@pure orchid I got trolled by Max 😏
Maybe he tells you to use Saria and Dorothy more in your clears 
Oh hm how much hp does EX-8 CM Anastasio have
124k or something
Wisadel exactly 1 cycle (CM) if he is blocked on each shot and he is always the main target.
She does roughly 18k per shot
So errr 100k-ish?
It's 84k according to wiki
He has 600 def so Wis didnt do a full 18k per shot
But anyway, Wis 1 cycle the thing
Hey, Where Can I find Upcoming Banners, I want to get some of these Limiteds like Apparently W Alter
/cnbanners in #bot-spam
Thanks
I'm stupid but which Banners are limited ;w;
Like I looked it up, But I'm stupid.
Reunion and travels
And sparking wisadel is bad, just a fyi
not worth aimin for it especially if u get the units fast enough
How come? I saw Kyo used it in his Low End Clears for Thorns alter Event?
Okay..?
Shes strong yes, but using 300 pulls for a single unit is bad
More good units > 1 good unit
Fair enough, Alright than
Who is real
Trust me, After playing Arknight, You will go insane
But honestly I'm just keeping an Eye on certain Limited/Ops I like to use so thanks again for the heads up.
Is that a rarity?
Youd be suprised how often people come asking, get answer they dont like, and then complain or insult
🥹
Well I could be glad I could be someone who could listen.
Thanks again for the advice and thanks for the heads up on the banners
🫡 anytime. Will always be available for such a listener
the hivemind yearns for brains to assimilate...
I know it will end soon but I don't know how to put my casters without being killed
Especially on the right
It's EX-4 stage
Cannonballs has 8 tile aoe
Oh
borrow surtr to shag the right cannon
So don't put ops around it if you can't afford to keep them alive
Or just put them on the left since all the non mobs pass there anyways 
Yeah
Those 2 tiles on left side is omega free you can put your caster there
Yep
But the problem is the flying fish too😔
h13-4 clear possible with this? and who to borrow if so
Why do I keep doing the non CM mode bruh
I ain't gonna make it
Screw, maybe it next rerun
nightingale 1st moduile better right?
the range increase ye
got it
Just need to remember that tile is there. And don't forget it isn't when e1 in IS run 
Yes. Borrow Wisadel or Texas
I got skill issue I can't do it 💔
Your ops, do they have Mastery 3 there
Also Ulpi S2M3
If you are having trouble handling the pressure then borrow Asca
I just can't defend toplane. All of the ops i use have mastery 3
All the 6*
Also the frame drop is crazyyy
I wonder if necrass can deal with the amount of blood spawns
Torturers and scourgers are crazy man. I gotta get my timings right
logos make them perish 
But then theres phase 2 which is probably easier since i can just make ulpi tank that until duqarael is dead no matter how long it takes
are you killing them out of altar range? that’s really important
I can either borrow logos or wisadel. I got better mileage using wisadel but man it'll help so much if i get logos offrate somehow
I tried at first but the sanguinarch revived them with his skill
I wonder if 2 reapers can solo top lane sanguinarch not included
how are you deploying your units?
that’s because you’re not baiting the aura, that’s also really important
I try to deploy the top laners asap so sanguinarch cant revive the spawns but if i do that then fedex died because of the scourgers
My Attention span sucks even at 1x speed I didn't realize the boss spawned so i get jumspcared by the aura 💔
Okay enough excuses i gotta lock in
boss target the last deployed op, he creates an aura around that op and if there’s slugs around that op they will revive and swarm you over and over again
you have to use the altars to bait his aura attack and deploy your ops far enough from the altar
Does blocking the boss delay the global attack
Can monthly squad in IS 1 memory mapping in IS 2 reset or it once time reward ?
Aint no IS1 ingame right now
Nothing in IS reset, all are one time rewards
Also they are one time thing
Ty
Yeah I can't do this i need better ops
Now he learns what it meant to be dps checked 😏
You still think it's endurance check there?

Yeah h13 is dps check
How's H14?
Harder?
I hope ur right
Once you beat Theresa up, stage is finished
H12 and H13-4 have been actual hell stages 💔
Cant get past H12-2 and cant get past H13-4 
Maybe when i have mlynar, logos and ines on my account it'll get better
Good try tho. Unfortunately ulpianus and gladiia can't perma carry me this time
Maybe when you have Wis it will get better 😏
I'll get her on exu offrate trust
I will also get shu offrate on yu banner free pulls
0% clairvoyance
100% hope 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I'm right because I'm not your average hashtag help parrots, I speak from experience. 14-21 #strategy message H14-4 #strategy message
but you have the dps try this as your opening, can borrow wis or logos, what you prefer
you can claim the altar very quickly with your ops
Wait does the boss still go there in phase 2?
just be careful with ulpi s3, that makes him the last deployed, altar still have taunt so keep on eye on them or drop gravel after ulpi s3
I thought he'll change course to bottom box so i prepared ulpianus s2 after the first shield guy
Also why s3?
you can force second wave before p2, boss is technically immortal until you destroy the third altar, it’s recommended to do it at the end
But his path never changes right?
because it’s better to kill the elite mobs coming from that lane
no, he’s in a loop 
he revives in the third altar after you destroy it
now how you force the second wave you might wonder…
Do you use sash and gnosis for phase 2? Why are they there
Also I'll definitely try thjs
wait that clip doesn’t show the second wave spawning
i didn’t properly crop the clip
it’s up to you, i only brought what you have e2
Is 2nd wave just more of the same?
yeah more slugs and elite enemies, you might consider swapping nara for gnosis, nara s1 when enemies are walking could reach the altar and you don’t want it to move
you can also take time to redeploy exalt and ulpi before second wave
the whip guy can kill your ranged ops before he reaches exalt and ulpi
the boss only takes the top path until you bomb his altar
then he takes the bottom path
(in case you forgor, if you don't bomb his altar he'll still be stuck in p1 however many times you kill him)
Can fedex solo kill his phase 1 cause i think i need to reposition ulpianus to tank him later
sure p1 doesn't have much stats
he's just there to annoy you
the gap between p1 and p2 is massive
even nara s1 can kill him, just throw gravel add him to block 
Might as well reposition everyone that needs it during that time
Thankfully my ulpi is m6 so no need to waste time leveling up his masteries
you do know the strat to desync the boss's phase 2 from the last wave right
The phase 1 and kill gate exist so u could prepare carts and also to burst his 2nd phase
I never got to phase 2 so nah
to send wave 2 early you need to kill everything on the map for a moment
that means killing p1 and all the spines while he's reviving
Okay thats doable
wait until you see h12-4 ig
Are you telling a guy on h13-4 that h12-4 is worse? 
well he is in fact, stuck at h12-2
I've seen enough on YouTube. Haven't experienced it so its probably worse than it looks
I might not if someone can inform me if the summoner things linger around long enough for me to increase my dp limit to deploy wisadel
Im out of sanity kek
And plans
Any time-efficient ending route for is3 clears ?
Ending 1 ofcourse
Wouldn't ending 3 or 4 give more points for extra floor but fuck them if you ask me
13-4 was mad easy whu.
Literally the only problematic thing that stage was some of the starting elites on the stage.
Talk for yourself, i seen 2 whip dudes hugging each other (for first time for entire chapter 13) at start of wave 2 and quit stage without trying my no 6* dumbshitstrat
No way i would combine Quartz boss stall with that amount of ongoing shit 
몹 구성에 보스에 기믹에 그냥 정신 나갈 것 같애,,,

Obligatory 4* only mention :P
i feel like if i open arkrec im gonna find a 5 op 4* only clear
Because it is competent player with plan. LOOK AT THIS SHIT ON H13-3 AND TELL I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING #strategy message 
ah ok it's 8 op
Fraudulent playerbase ngl
you can just like stall the boss and kill the rest of the stage then kill the boss
i think that's what most strategies do
Yup that's the method.
I wanted it to be cool quartz stall
Then i run out of time for doing that shit and rarity abused
You are not BloopAK lil bro hop off the crusher.
nope i will shill hoederer
hoederer with mod3 is basically ulpianus + gladiia
if you forced ulpianus to use his s1
how broken
okay so i managed to get here... where to put ulpi and fedex? boss is still phase 1 but its wave 2
@vocal leaf
maybe one tile below reed or you can try to spawn camp if you’re going to keep nara there
second wave sends a pair of the whip guy, a total of 4 iirc
she was there to kill the boss for wave 2
ngl i could probably spawn camp but idk who else is coming besides the torturers
any more of those pillar dudes?
shieldguards and casters, they come together
Oh yeah i remember they spawn near logos. Should i take him out
what is the pillar dude? the cyclops keep coming from bottom lane
yup, he will die there
gnosis was useful for me back then, i freeze enemies to buy some time for exalt and hoe, so they never had to block, they killed them from distance

IS5 First ending boss
What operators should i pick for that?
how much squad space
ah 8
idk what difficulty but
Yeah
It's my first time fighting him
do you want me to spoil it?
Depends if it can end my run quickly if i don't know it
uh depends how you see it
uh so ill just say 1 thing
retreat wisadel after you kill his phase 1
Honestly just spoil it to me lol i ain't taking any risks
after you kill him phase 1, he shuffles your operators around the map
facing direction / tile, this is redeploy so initial SP is lost
Oh
so you retreat wisadel after killing phase 1
then he does a little animation which you will see of his wand raising up
and that means your operators get shuffled
after his wand is already up you can place down operators no risk of shuffle
you need to get wisadel out of her coffin after you retreat so use project red probably
or any operator that can hit it
I see
the boss mechanic is hes basically a mystic caster, he stores attacks
they will appear as orbs around him
and every orb he has stored means he gets damage reduction
you need to let him use his attacks to drop that DR and then you can blast him with wisadel
Wisadel summons kind of trivialize this because they take the hits if you place her properly
you'll probbaly be fine since you now know the shuffle mechanic
So basically bait his attacks and then summon wis
just retreat wisadel and break her coffin as you kill phase 1
Hopefully
no you can just open with wis
Cuz of the summons?
you dont need to wait to put down wisadel is what i mean
she gets 2 extra summons on s3 so she'll be safe
what difficulty is this
i dont think much can kill her maybe necrosis fields from smaller mobs
you'll be fine
Alright thanks for the help
Imma fight and see the results
Hopefully i will beat it
Honestly i expected it to be harder ngl
Since i struggled a lot till i beat IS2 first ending
xd
Which is the hardest?
IS4
4?
I skipped them cuz i felt like they were too hard for me to beat rn
3 still the most suck high diff
literally making the whole arts dps unusable, really cool
you can prob beat IS3 ed1
low difficulty is very different game
things are hard for you mainly because you don't know what you are doing / never seen the stages
with enough practice you'll realize you just want to keep taking combats in most IS, especially emergency etc etc
low diff is3 is among the easiest I find, the maps are generally really simple with only like 3 exceptions
is3 and is4 are both quite challenging at high difficulty idk if i would put one above the other
The is3 boskies are really difficult if you're unprepared though
IS3 can just fuck you harder for exisitng
IS4 you can just be skillful
IS3 you have to skillfully roll a 6, 10 times per run
IS3 fucks me for using ground units. IS4 fucks me for not using ground units 
is4 you have to skillfully roll migrate 😎
what? is4 also fucks ground units
shattered champions would like to know know your location
is4 just favors non ground units i think
i mean degen get out of jail free card
i dont think it actively fucks them
shu is shu 🥹

zuo le my goat
true true ZL can do somewhat fine

Thank you
Is that Shielded Gentleman Stealing Points?
No. I think it store and double the point u got
If u kill him then u get that 25100p point
kid named degen
🚬
or kid named zuole (with some support)
As long as you get point it will store and double it. And if you didny kill it before time runs out then you get nothing
But you still keep the point you already got
low or high diff? last time i played is4 degen was the best starter, reed also very nice one of the best for clearing snow in ed1 if you’re just farming
i beat it once so far
ive been reccomended wisadel beanstalk tinman start
that’s is5 tho
are you talking about typhon or nymph IS?
then wis tin man beanstalk is the best start, narantuya is also a great starter, she’s only terrible in kaz falls but you should always avoid that stage anyway 
i have narantuya but leveling another 6 star is gonna take a minute since i just used a good bit of my exp mats
If u want to do the 2nd ending
so id just grab wis from support
So, probably no, u should
that’s for ed2, you can grab it to get relics or use it in f5 for ed2
Ed2 needs a little bit of of prep so probably just go ed1
Learn is5 bit more before that
the one time i beat it so far i just went spearhead squad and got the king relic node so everyone suddenly did 5 million dmg
Oh, if you want to watch that keep happening unlock the Blueprint squad, get Lamp of Wishes from a floor 1 encounter, then reroll everything not an emergency node or shop into a wish node.
reroll kaz falls and elusive merc 
Pretty sure there's like sub-7 minute clears of IS5 with this method taken to the extreme, where every possible node is rerolled into a wish node.
yessir
does that allow me to beat the boss tjo
Well, yeah
Will need to balance fights too so u actually get hope/ops
But u can steamroll
just do that every run
pick lamp from fated encounter
get to 1 hp by being at yellow toil
u can beat ed1 with wisadel + any other 6star
so just draft 2 6stars and move on 🥹
wis can solo with crane right
yeah
Well normally all you need for regular ed1 is an e2 Wis, 1 ranged op to break Wis out for phase 2, 1 laner and maybe a healer if the laner isn't self sufficient. Technically you can do like, what, 3 fights then abuse scout nodes to e2 if you're rushing ed1 clears?
I mean, sure
u dont need laner
And you have to do the f3 boss fight anyways so that counts as 1.
But you meed to know how to do that in the first place🥹
You need to break her out for phase 2 unless you wanna mald teleport rng
After which you have a window where you can't deploy her.
wis -> kill phase 1 -> retreat wis -> drop ur 2nd op -> retreat 2nd op when they break wis coffin -> drop wis again and kill phase 2
its 30s dawg eat like 1-2 leaks
Maybe you're a leaky lil boy but in this house we go leakless.

you would rather spend more effort to leakless an easy stage
instead of playing hard stages
das krazy
sure whatever floats ur boat
hp is a resource just like any other
On a serious note, yeah that strat works but I just prefer to minimize leaks just in case so bringing in just 1 op to hold the box is fine imo.
that means doing more combats
which lowers exp/hr
since it takes more time
if ur optimizing for exp/hr u take the leaks
Imagine leaking
yeah just use diapers
I mean u already have like insane amount of life shield from all Kings relics already so.. yeah
@wicked viper u done with the answer sheet and the completed quiz ?
no i was busy lol
did u finish ray
🥱
I haven't even started
And honestly i trust bleck to do the math better than me
I really have no faith in my math anymore
Easy guide to PM-10
Alright, might need tips regarding Chapter 10's artilleries
Do I need a high HP tank?
Depends on your playstyle
It targets highest block > taunt > last deployed
If your highest block can tank 3k true damage sure
Some just bait it away from the main ops
And some outright ignores cannon
Hmmm yea I think baiting might be better
Lit em furnace up
Can u really just say "steamrolled" like its a suprise when youre using that squad
This is just flexing.
What "strategy" bro you could give the screen to a monkey and they'd win.
Just because Harold canonically missing super rare gacha card doesn't mean shit 
???? It's not a surprise I fought the thing before. Also I did use the squad but I didnt even deploy one-third of them. I clearly said "Wisadel accidentally lit up the furnaces a lot" which context is clear, that she is the one steamrolling the boss, not the entire squad.
Which is good, because auto is gonna be stable
Who the f need Crystalline Component 
Bro you dont need CEU? 😂
I feel like all recent units I raised ate a lot of my Crystalline Electronic Units
I don't know what i need but i know i don't have even e1 specialist chips for shit i pulled on Thorns alter
3 [new] 6* specialists jumpscared 
(Eats 50th Bipolar Nanoflake consumed this year alone)
I hate bipolars
CEU I can at least spread out the resources needed a bit.
Bipolar eats so much white kohl.
World's latest NG S3M3 completion is here... Until someone next complete it 
My Nightingale is already super late and you are later than me 
Someone on other server was looking for NG for H8 and i was like "Well shit, still S7
"
You guys have nightingale?
I started long before Kernel existed and managed to offbanner almost everyone, then gold certed them missing few

This is true, I hate mental illness
For example, IS players
Too lazy to ex-8 cm today, time to trust my auto to do each stage once for furniture and shit
ew 6*s
I dont have extra resources for raising 5 Stars bro
I'll make a Low-End Clear later, that counts as 5 Stars? 😂
What the fuck is this Dedushka melee hit damage 
Okay, revenge on stage I failed to stall in past (also flex of perfect Flatinum position to hold 3 ovens) and I totally didn't had healthgate align with boss skill causing Vendela to unexist 5 seconds later
i still dont fully understand what your niche is 
you just play the "i love to struggle with everything"-knights or something
I just play the damn game for dopamine 
Also Quartz stalling bosses is fun when applyable
Thats exactly what his niche is 🤣🤣
I blame Wisadel for fact that i don't see someone being handholded for Harold in this chat still 
Reruns usually arent hyped up no? But anyway it's still day 1, people will come asking for help later
bros I can't beat rs-8 plz help a newbie 
Cake you should change can't beat CV-8 to can't beat RS-8
Would be nice to see your roster instead of prts warning messages
Can't beat PM-10 
🤣
You should leave the server and rejoin again, make the newbie thingy more convincing
There's no beating Project Moon unfortunately
Banger skin taste btw
i heard zuo le was giga broken for harold. dont shoot the messenger 🤫
March '25 is good enough already

Silly question but just for shits and giggles, is Lessing s3 able to duel Harold well?
I can see the vision (the Zuo Le thingy). Harold is super weak to physical damage, I can see people abusing Zuo Le for sure
250% melee crits with +20% ATK / +50 attack speed phase 2
Man Harold was using retirement gym instead house
Allat just to be shitty wandering medic when he works for us
800/960 ATK (2000/2400 melee) in normal stage, 1000/1200 (2500/3000 melee) EX, 1200/1440 (3000/3600 melee) EX CM... Hehe i'm in danger
The "Hehe I'm in danger" part sounds so cute ngl 😂
uhhhh idk if this is the right place to ask. if anyone has a CN account here, can you try for me exu s3 with saria s3 and reposition saria around. saria with the +2sp mod obviously if you know what i am thinking of
plan would be have saria in exu's range. use saria skill 3. retreat saria. use exu s3 to spawn saria back so that saria is within exu range. wait 4 seconds. use saria skill. end exu skill a tiny bit prematurely depending on saria skill duration. have saria sp battery exu to another s3. retreat saria then repeat
I would try #cn-lounge
this is like the most theory crafting i have done in #strategy and i really want to see it in action 🥹
ok ill attempt it
cursed
i sounds so peak bro 🥹
I am sorry for saying "But what if we Quercus S2 on Exu alter" 
bro made me envision a whole new world 😭
I'm half certain no one in CN lounge actually stills plays CN AK.
Very few do. Or at least more skilled at looking up Bilibili than me
i feel like it has a high likelyhood of just being a cool combo with how geek trait works, how saria gives like +2sp/s, how the redeployment thing doesnt take operator cost into consideration, and how saria has a really high initial sp of 70/80 with exu boosting that to 76/80
Quercus S2 or Touch S1? 
Lets keep realm of dumb strategies outside IS only content
I am not calculating 160,000,500 futures
Anyone know the fix to games freezing after an is stage
Dont want to lose progress but
Its not even giving the square loading
It's your main source of exp and lmd
Should i focus on doing base stuff then
Yes
Base can produce free LMD and EXP. Base can't produce free chips and other materials.
Base materials
Ok then
Dump in current event for shop currency for event shop
Also, who is the most replaceable member of my team?
Fang
Should i replace her with texas when i get her?
Dont get texas
The missions make u level 3 reception
Which is a permanent draw on power
Since u can't downgrade it
So what
Replace fang with courier ig
damn....ok i have a massive incentive to NOT farm mangos in the rerun

mine revenge

silence 2
Was Ela present in the original run?
Cause she's so strong against the gimmick and her frag really tear Harold
Anyone know what to do when is jams?
Not even square loading
When i complete a stage
That's connection problem
Tried multiple times and changed connection
Not even the no connection notification
Im texting yall now so my wifi is working
This keeps happening
And it keeps screwing up my best runs
Im so sick of this
Refreshed the game anf it just ended my run
Thanks a lot......
Where can i report this stupid bug
Can you replicate it?
If yes then its reportable
-# And even then those hardly get noticed
Try switch to data or WiFi, airplane mode, restart phone etc etc
Normally you get 3-4 lvls per run clear
are you playing at diff 0
Newbie dying in IS is normal
No
As i said, newbie dying is normal
You just repeating till you familiar with the map
guides are the antithesis of ISs (although relicless runs exist)
the point is to know your ops better and handle the maps better
typical roguelike experience
also if it's IS4 then d0 is kinda punishing
imo d4 is the easiest to play, score notwithstanding
Kaz falls is a widowmaker to the unprepared
have you cleared an ending yet?
D4 means he did do some endings
have you finished all monthly squad for all is
Wait don’t you unlock new difficulty by completing endings?
someone here might be able to handhold you
but you'll have to hop on vc's and ask around
d4 is the difficulty, not which is it is
bro's on IS5 d0
if you didn't change it then you're just playing on d0 
if you've been following chat
Then that makes sense
go change and raise it
clearing higher diff gives more xp
Well surely ur using support wisadel right
they can't clear an ending to begin with 
you must win on difficulty X to unlock the difficulty X+1
ah 
Anywho, are you using a support Wis as a core operator for ur runs
have you at least unlocked the skill tree
You know what the skill tree is right
10 points to use? Or already used on nodes?
Surely ur friend’s max Wis is indeed maxed
S3m3 mod3?
Lvl60-90?
What exactly kills ur runs
Is it a certain stage?
more generally which floor too
That too
Drills?
Like are they enemies or are they stationary
Wait
I might know what map this is
Wait nvm
I’m unsure what ur referring to
How built is ur account anyway
it wasn't an encounter battle right
Is would be difficult for very green accounts
Perhaps ur wasting hope on unnecessary/bad ops
In the nicest way possible
This a skill issue
You have plenty of good ops to use in Is
I def think the problem is strategy/hope management
Are you using lamp of wishes for ur run?
Wdym starting options?
No this is a relic
ok i didn't have to watch that vid, the thumbnail alone is more cracked than my usual options (by choice) for IS
Whats happening
This one is pretty... built
U are strong enough
If for the IS, just raise some 4* to maintain hope issues
Is5 mainly concerns 4 and 6 stars other than select 5 stars
you do want a couple to balance hope yh
Also many 6 stars aren’t good for is
Ye
Ie almost all defenders and supporter
Ur better off picking up a 4 star than a bad 5/6 star op
saria's a pretty fat waste of hope for example
Just raise 4* Ops like Click, Beanstalk/Myrtle, Cuora/Gummy as a cheap defender to deal with earlygame hope issues in IS.
Then u can work towards saving hope for strong units catered to IS run like Ines, etc
It also helps to know which ops can kill the spikes
As to not simply lead ops to their death
Ah yes. U absolutely need Click or arts dmg ops to kill the spikes in IS#5 (Texalter my beloved)
which floor do you get to on average then
how is bro not even beating fr*mont with that stack

This a house md episode let us cook
Just help the best we can for now lol
^ this is kinda important!
on it
each floor has its death traps e.g. kaz falls
Frozen?
elusive merc
I still hate Elusive Merc stage btw, but its doable
One thing to help differentiate “hard” stages is to see if it says it’ll give extra command xp and ingots
after the fifth dozen it's fun 
Kaz falls will say that for example
U will learn why when u play that stage 
ignore hard stage, know boss gimmick and manage hope econ n your'e good
There are other such stages that are better off rerolling/moving to a diff path
You know how to reroll right
Bro has done that
Thats IS in a nutshell
Clearly we need some intervention
(Okay, I remember now LMFAO)
Im sure @bold narwhal will get used to how IS works
Just need to know the IS mechanics and stage mechanics
IS is sanity free
After my ed4 runs, it takes irl sanity too 
Anyways, dont forget to farm the event
HAHAHAHA
tbh ask around for handholds in #is-station or sth
the secret is to not bother with hard endings
it'll help more with a second pov than just bashing yourself at the stages
This the LED high beams of secrets then 
And bruteforcing stages by pure strength
Cuz I thought we all did that for farming runs
LOL
Hard endings makes me want to try again tomorrow
Hard endings make me not want to see tomorrow 
you do shitloads of runs to save
Aight I see ur point lmfao
Thats normal if u play often, well the investing purpose. now seed exist u can just ask for good ingots seed
Its called "being veteran at this IS" - they done countless runs and saving up ingots while spending for relics in IS.
it's called being a crippling addict
LMFAO
dang
For real how come Harold one shot every guard I deploy using only basic attack 
Was he always this annoying even before casting the ice shard
Shit is that you can't burst him either because it backfire you really quick
he fucks like a hitting truck
use ulpianus/rosesalt to tank or something
Less torch, nuke harder
So ideally u juggle the last 2 ignited torch
Also beware the match cost is increased in CM
250% crit in melee + 50 attack speed phase 2
how much hp does the sss music boss
the one where u have to kill him with the music box thing
Above 0
I went through 6 music boxes and his hp is still at the 80% mark
I am either doin something wrong or this fkn boss has 1m hp

#strategy message box has 50k hp, it took me like 20 kills of it to kill boss, every danger slaps +10% hp I think
I forgot if damage from music box to boss is increased by 20% or something or I imagined that so 1m/1.2m base HP sounds around right
Just 5 sniper stack Kroos/Exu on sniper gear + 1sp per sniper gear per attack off skill upgrade 
I was runnin security talent thing for the mission
now I am cooked

I need specific rng for my current line up to win
You can burst him
#strategy message
Wisadel your one stop solution
nightingale carry smh
wis wishes she was as broken as nightingale (real)
Done that. Didnt work T-T
my RS-8 auto looks so whack 
I don't even wanna know what's this niche supposed to be
How many mins is that auto
that's the wrong question
the correct question is if it works
it has a timing with 0.5s tolerance so idk 🥹
It takes 1~2 minutes but Asca can light up the furnace on her own 😲
Why not s3
Nah S2 is Asca best skill
