strategy

[wicked minnow]

all the enemies there just die by attacking sankta

main threat here is the runner guys that deal a bit of damage but they die quickly anyway

[scarlet mortar]

yh the simple part abt them is that they bulldoze you while killing themselves

[vocal leaf]

forced to do this stage back to back, give me a break at least it wasn’t elusive merc

[obtuse shale]

With one life point

[vocal leaf]

i lost all the life points in the first one, for the second one mistakes were not allowed

[glass monolith]

Should have parried with King relics

[full terrace]

Go farm those RMAs 😂

Enjoy your Ulpia Gladiianus combo

There is also a Zuo Le solo from last year, but auto breaks often with that one

[lapis hornet]

shoulda used shu instead

[glass monolith]

Kohl farm with infinite kohl shop is funniest shit ever. Anyway anyone got good auto plan for rock stage?

[full terrace]

I stick to RMA for now, rocks can be farmed anytime in 1-7 anyway

[glass monolith]

280 RMA so skip for me

[vocal leaf]

you can move ulpi to the tile in front of the platform, enemies gather there, that can save you a couple of seconds

[full terrace]

Matters not, the last batch is mosquitoes anyway, thats like at most 2 secs save. You go ahead and do that if you want to.

[narrow pendant]

Its a good and simple clear but takes so long

[vocal leaf]

yeah i use 3 op to fasten the clear

[glass monolith]

[lapis hornet]

opop

[full terrace]

Why you people be farming rocks

[glass monolith]

Infinite kohl shop and i have too much RMA atm

Gonna not forget to do EX-8 CM later #strategy message

[lapis hornet]

what else would i be farming

[simple radish]

Got Rock issues

[hybrid sparrow]

rock goals

[glass monolith]

You have goal? I just have hoarding complex As soon as i sweep rerun shop i will instantly dig back into AP-5/chips

[radiant mesa]

Sometimes it's just about collection

[stone dawn]

Level 4-9 is such a pain

[glass monolith]

It will get worse Which one was it again? Floor is lava?

[ember forge]

Can someone help me make a strategy to speedrun hs-9 with this team?

[stone dawn]

Yes

[glass monolith]

Rush out medic to keep whatever on low ground alive

If i recall right enemy take time before appearing on left side

[stone dawn]

Yes but the sarkarz mage and warriors bullies my team

[glass monolith]

Feed gravel to mage

Everything is on fire so you will probably have spare deployment slot to leave something just to ensure mage F off from your ranged operators

[haughty flower]

Hell, 2* yato probably has a fast enough redeploy time to bait too.

[stone dawn]

I don’t have gravel

[glass monolith]

Remember entire last deployed get hit (when they all in range) first BS, it will be constantly relevant

[haughty flower]

She can bait one, and while the other will hit you'll at least protect one lane.

[glass monolith]

Any body, if body low HP medic watching tile

[stone dawn]

I win until the 4 final ennemy just kill all my troop because of the bow

[glass monolith]

Bows at that point of game don't 2 hit everyone, medics, medics, and something to be target

[stone dawn]

Yes beccause 2 arrow guy left and right plus mage who blocks my healer

[glass monolith]

Deploy something before block healer guy even exists, i believe top left lava tile just in range

If it is not, just have replacement medic

[stone dawn]

Thx

[haughty flower]

Bows will attack most recently deployed op in range. Deploying spam, deploying your main blockers last, etc will normally keep them occupied and away from your squishy healers and ranged ops.

[glass monolith]

When was last time I was in mood to slap low rarity slop video

[vocal leaf]

popukar skin but not stewart, adnachiel or vanilla?

[glass monolith]

Forgot to equip

[vocal leaf]

equip them now

[haughty flower]

Incredibly fraud

[glass monolith]

Plume skin too

[vocal leaf]

vanilla skin could’ve been 18 op

[glass monolith]

How dare you not mention Hibiscus skin

[haughty flower]

Mid biscuit can stay unskinned.

Ansel better.

[vocal leaf]

no spot skin? you have to be old to own that skin right? was beagle skin also free?

everyone in that squad has skin

im waiting myrtle skin rerun 😭

[haughty flower]

🇱

For shu boss EX-CM, do you think Ulpi s2sl7 can hold the boss with gladiia sitting in a corner?

[glass monolith]

Jan 2021 =/= Jan 2022

[vocal leaf]

2023 player pain 😭 i also want spot skin, he looks too realistic in base art

[jovial nest]

it's kinda hilarious that HS-1 is the only normal map without additional rewards.

[jovial nest]

Goddammit, no autos in CM. A shame since it's looking like I did HS-EX-8 CM with no borrows before.

[glass monolith]

I remember general outline of how i did Quartz stall for lulz I need to remember how the fuck Astgenne Firewhistle killed entire everything else

[vocal leaf]

zuo le could barely tank boss in cm, i used gnosis and aak to kill faster p1

i should test how does hoe or ulpi now with mod

[haughty flower]

The humble Ulpi S2:

[vocal leaf]

but without gladiia because only male ops

[haughty flower]

The schizo in me says you could Hoe s3, Ulpi s3 and insta stop, Zuo Le s3, tank briefly, then Ulpi s3 again to get Hoe s3 back up.

[vocal leaf]

why all that? just one is enough well i’m using gnosis and he can freeze boss, aak can stun too

i actually use zuo le s2, not s3, i believe because he dies with s3, dont remember

yeah hoe was a safer pick than zuo he can also stay there, unlike zuo that needs to be swapped for basslike due the poisoned water

[jovial nest]

Wis (main DPS) and Ulp (S2 tank) team really just destroys Sui event boss

[south spindle]

is this enough

can i watch house md again

[modern plover]

Its lupus

[noble hollow]

you can leave the chocolates downstairs

[lofty stag]

wtf another watcher of peak 🥹

[south spindle]

tfym another

this been established

[lofty stag]

Another as in I am also watcher of peak

[spice quest]

It's logos

[south spindle]

It’s never lupus

[jovial finch]

3op clear for hs-ex-8-cm

[stone dawn]

4-10 frost nova I don’t have any unit at level elite 1 level 70 max is elite 1 level 58 can I still try frost nova

[elder flume]

wheres your insta E2 ticket

tho answer is still yes
just takes more brain prob

[glass monolith]

Recommended stage level is lie, we are not Nikke, you won't get -90% stat debuff for missing 1 in recommend rating

[maiden hound]

huh?

explain

[dapper hedge]

Literally what it means

Thats how nikke works

[maiden hound]

is it imposed upon the player as a penalty or are the upgrades just that needed

[glass monolith]

Well it is off topic talk but like other gacha game I mentioned has recommended rating for stage, your rating is calculated on how upgraded your squad is. On launch is was straight up -90% if you don't meet requirement, which was afterwards nerfed to be less severe if you miss it by little

AK doesn't not have that. You win stage if you kill stuff.

And recommended level for story/events just there

[maiden hound]

kinda rood for that

[sly drift]

I'm concerned

Since when the guy is THIS tanky

[narrow pendant]

Well, he starts with like 4k def

Hits remove it slowly, and warf isnt doing much on liberators🥹

[sly drift]

Is the def reduced mechanic HP based or hit count based

The description explain no shit

[narrow pendant]

Hit count

Throw krooster against him

[sly drift]

Alright

[limpid ore]

you need fast hitter to molt him

[vivid python]

any guide for IS sarkaz furnace?

[limpid ore]

in EX-8, it loses 50 def every 4 hits, up to 80 times

for CM, it loses only 40 def each

[scarlet mortar]

throw a mech-accord at the thing and blud loses all its def within the minute

or the typical suspects exu/kroos

[limpid ore]

throw exu s3 and it wll be less than minute

go my peashooter

[scarlet mortar]

it was supposed to be a lead-in to minimalist shilling but ik exu was inevitable

[limpid ore]

eh, yato s1 angle

[scarlet mortar]

ew yato S1

does anyone have lin as a support unit that i can borrow pls

[lapis hornet]

what's your ign

[mild brook]

How to beat this? Low diff

[pure ermine]

i got one after a while but thanks for offering

[lapis hornet]

gg

[south spindle]

Did you beat it 😀

[narrow pendant]

Idk
But i'll beat you

:realmad:

[south spindle]

not again

[narrow pendant]

Your honor, he is capping

I have yet to beat him once

[south spindle]

you can say that we were nothing but you know the truth

💔

[narrow pendant]

🥹 not in public

[haughty flower]

Get a channel

[narrow pendant]

Get a bitch

[still vessel]

get a life

[full terrace]

Twas satisfying

[scarlet mortar]

i forgor, does it still have def in p2

p1 has the molting mechanic going on

[glass monolith]

It has stun immunity in p2... Why HG don't want me to fucking cheese everything with Eunectes S2?

[scarlet mortar]

if a boss is stun vuln it's demoted to elite status

[glass monolith]

Well Texas alter boss was demoted to status of corpse. Also "Boss phase 2 has +100 ATK" is best CM condition of all times #strategy message

[mild brook]

Nope

[south spindle]

😔

[mild brook]

How to beat this and who to borrow?

[south spindle]

its like almost always wisadel mate

[mild brook]

This is who i use

[vocal leaf]

horn s1 is also a good option to borrow

[mild brook]

Will this work?

[wary shuttle]

what approaches are there for handling the start of HS-S-1 cm

[south spindle]

ulpianus probably gets tickled by the flies lmao

nvm

[wary shuttle]

I don't really have invis reveal options if I try and put anything on the ground to bait the flies

[south spindle]

i think i had double agents deal with the initial swarm
ines canta

[somber falcon]

what does invis reveal matter if you're baiting them anyway

[wary shuttle]

because Im gonna get the top right polluted so all the jobbers that come are invisible

but more because I probably don't have the heal output to handle more pollution there

[somber falcon]

what's your team look like

[wary shuttle]

6 star ban:

[gusty depot]

Beat the boss. Chen is Godlike against those things!https://youtu.be/DVahS-jTG3A?si=g6o-1zyf9VDvxmm7

[wary shuttle]

huh, didnt realize there was a safe spot

[sly drift]

The last wave is actually too much
And most of them are somehow ranged that gang whoever they pass along the way.

[wary shuttle]

imo shredding the boss in the first pool is better than getting pollution on the bottom left and bottom middle ones, those give good spots for spraying the boss

[kindred stirrup]

4-10

Helpsssss 😭

[south spindle]

have you played the stage or

[kindred stirrup]

I got the boss down first stage

But than

All the mobs

Just rush me

[south spindle]

hm you really are missing actual dps

ngl might be a borrow angle

[haughty flower]

This stage is beatable with e1 only and minimal DPS ops.

[south spindle]

damn really im just bad

[haughty flower]

It's rough and needs a LOT of block shifting, but it's doable.

[south spindle]

my memory of this stage is flawed because i was a struggling while rushing game

[tight quest]

I think lapp is enough dps

[south spindle]

i think my typhon cheesed it

[tight quest]

I wish I could remember how I beat it but I borrowed something to beat it (probably wisadel)

[haughty flower]

If you want to play the stage "correctly" so without borrowing a strong DPS to just instakill, it essentially is a race against time. phase 2, you need to buy time by block shifting and hurry up on DPS, or you literally just run out of tiles and lose.

[south spindle]

yea thats what i fear for them

[kindred stirrup]

What is block shifting..?

[south spindle]

oh wait

this isn't 6-16 no katana guys

[kindred stirrup]

I think I just needa kill the mobs that flood me and I should be fine

[tight quest]

Is that moving the boss back in between two blockers?

[south spindle]

putting down units to shift an enemy back like half a tile

[kindred stirrup]

Because when they flood the big tank just walks over

Killing my staller

[south spindle]

oh yeah the defender leader needs arts

idk how well amiya will do

[tight quest]

Isn't jessicat s2 good at multiple enemies

[south spindle]

are you using amiya s1 btw

[kindred stirrup]

Uhh

Yea

[south spindle]

ya so lappland has to hold off frostnova with some blockers, and you can use gravel or something to block shift (move her back as she starts walking into a new tile)

i would replace lava for steward

click would be even better

[haughty flower]

https://youtu.be/jWdIcl1MhSE?t=3124

[kindred stirrup]

Isn’t Amiya the better ones

[south spindle]

not really

[kindred stirrup]

oh

[haughty flower]

Let's check...yup. Click the video, and it'll explain what I'm talking about.

[south spindle]

shes pretty meh

click and steward do the job better at their resource costs

if you have click, use click

else steward almost definitely have

[haughty flower]

Basically, this strat describes how to keep your units alive with your main blocker while still letting your ranged ops deal damage.

[kindred stirrup]

That tech is crazy wth

[haughty flower]

You use the method above and extend it to ops like lappy, or even jessica alter s3 if you have it.

There's a LOT of other nuances to Arknights if you're willing to look past the meta of "DPS go kil", I'd totally recc diving into some of the hidden stuff at some point.

[south spindle]

okay yeah that tech explained in the video

makes it sounded alot crazier

than it is,

its something you would have noticed just playing the game for the most part lol

just takes a bit to actual start paying attention to it / knowing how to use it

[haughty flower]

Yeah it just goes into detail to explain the concept since it needs to be able to be parsed by, shudder, youtube viewers.

It can be dumbed down but you miss others possibly not getting it.

[south spindle]

yeah its pretty cool stuff given how tight frostnovas range is

[haughty flower]

The rest of that video is actually really fun. If you haven't seen it before I'd recc watching it, this guy's pretty fun and isn't bad at the game.

[kindred stirrup]

This YouTuber hella entertaining 😭

[haughty flower]

Anyways. Essentially, the strategy is block shift to allow your ranged ops to dps, and keep rotating blockers utilizing this to keep laying down dps and saving your ranged units from getting hit by cold.

[south spindle]

no one talks about game sense in this game

but it definitely exists via just people with active minds

who are strategizing

ya i do say try not to borrow until you want to just quit the game
and even then maybe just come back tomorrow

[haughty flower]

If you do this, the stage should become a lot more manageable. I'm planning on doing this when I rehit frostnova on my no 6* run.

[south spindle]

this is key pivotal character development

for you to be a good player

🥹

[kindred stirrup]

Adapt or die

My memo

Heh

[south spindle]

excellent

we have high hopes of you

[haughty flower]

In order to do this however you may need more blockers. I'd put in spot if you have them to replace lava in this case.

[kindred stirrup]

Yea I’m getting the boss like almost dead dude was like 15% hp left

It’s just

The flooding of the other enemy’s

Change the aggro of lapp

[south spindle]

would replace both amiya and lava for steward click if possible

they're not much investment

yes steward click specifically for the heavy tanks

[haughty flower]

Amiya replacement with click would be nice but no clue if they've got the mats.

[south spindle]

a bunch of enemies with considerable defense

btw suggest ya also look to get your base and stuff set up, #r-i-i-c has most resources on it but #help can be good too and for other random questions

[haughty flower]

Oh yeah no drones, so replace exusiai with uh steward and amiya with click if you can.

[south spindle]

ok saw their old screen shots, no click

but 2 days ago anything could've happened xd

[haughty flower]

Amiya steward is perfectly fine. Not optimal, but fine.

[south spindle]

ya

[haughty flower]

If you want, check how the youtuber I linked above did his setup, and then make up your own flavor with the ops you have on hand right now.

[south spindle]

honestly fire video

i kept seeing it never clicked

[haughty flower]

The editing is great, surprised he'd put in so much effort for a long video like that.

[south spindle]

oh just noticed

its hour 40

lmaoo

think its worth a watch though

[haughty flower]

Save it for a rainy day. It'll be worth the wasted time.

[wary shuttle]

would techno be able to basically generate all her summons instantly from the flies

[haughty flower]

Can't see why they wouldn't be able to.

[wicked minnow]

afaik this explanation is inaccurate

im going off of my usage of blockshifting atleast, the activation range is the same as the hitbox. yes some things do rely on the point position of enemies but those things are very few like ulpi s3 for example and like firewatch s2

basically things that target tiles enemies are on determine the tile by seeing where the enemies are at

[scarlet mortar]

yh no that's not blockshifting at all in that vid

both enemies and allies have specified collision hitboxes, those being basically circles

i.e. not boxes

[wicked minnow]

the main problem with his explanation that can cause a hole in your knowledge is the fact that you can blockshift enemies into the range of units

[scarlet mortar]

ok wait, the actual part abt collision radii is like a minute after that timestamp

lmfao.

the whole range stuff is unnecessary

[wicked minnow]

the thing is it's not just the collision stuff

[scarlet mortar]

also collision and detection radii are different

[wicked minnow]

ye ik

but it's a small difference

[scarlet mortar]

yh it's just a messy explanation

[wicked minnow]

he makes it seem like one of them is an integer point and the other is a massive circle

[scarlet mortar]

wait no i meant collision and blocking radii

the detection radius idr if it matches the blocking radius

[wicked minnow]

oh yeah i assumed that

uhhhhh

it doesnt afaik

[azure roost]

wtf old player here

hag

[scarlet mortar]

erm

clearly my name says not old player

[azure roost]

[mild brook]

How to beat this

[trail musk]

I would suggest camping the top left side of the map using eyja, thorns. For bottom left side ulpianus/blaze is enough

If you just want to beat it for the reward then i recommend borrowing typhoon instead of wis, use logos s1 and typhoon s2 is enough to take care of everything

The boss Wolly wil spawn later on but no worry it will first go around the map once before returning to the left side, that's when you can start killing it, use the soda cans to destroy it's shield and make sure logos or eyja is next to a hot water foutain. This is a pretty easy afk strat

If you want clearer instruction, i can get on the game, do a run and take screen shots for you

Oh also, after you have set up the op, start spamming white clouds around your op, to prevent them from dying if thing go wrong

[mild brook]

Ill try to understand it thanks

[trail musk]

Here is my set up

[mild brook]

I dont have logos

[trail musk]

You can try copy it since you've already gotten the op

[trail musk]

Oh eyja is fine~

Just bring her afk skill

[mild brook]

Wow thanks

[trail musk]

[mild brook]

S2??

[scarlet fulcrum]

La pluma not dps

[trail musk]

I don't have her so idk, but choose the afk one pp usually bring with her, ig S2

[mild brook]

Ill do it right away thanks

[trail musk]

Oh don't freak out if you see enemies go out from the top red box, they'll run back into your dps zone, instead of the blue box

[mild brook]

Thank you

[trail musk]

You know what they say, if your dps is not dps-ing, use your healer for dps (worst tip of all time)

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just repeating the quote, don't mind it

[mild brook]

I completed it thanks

[trail musk]

Tell me if you need help, with those op, ya can clear all the annihilation

[mild brook]

How about this?

[trail musk]

Oh this is a hard one, can you show me your op first

Nw, with those op you can clear it easily

What i meant was it's a bit harder than the other anni

[mild brook]

How about ill do these first

[trail musk]

Here is my set up, be aware:

Ascalon is not needed, u can use the free 4 stars for binding there

Gladiia can be place anywhere as long as she don't die, eyja can be replaced by another strong caster
Shu can be replaced with saria or gummy

If you think thorns and eyja is not enough, you can place any dps on the right lane

[trail musk]

Long spring wastes is exxtremely easy, you can clear it with less than 5 ops

The MVP of this map is logos s1

These strat i learnt from kyotinv

[mild brook]

Who?

[narrow pendant]

Ethan

[trail musk]

The one the mega lucker've just said

[mild brook]

I tried it the first time but they all just died i forgot who killed them

[trail musk]

You can try my set up then

Usse myrtle and texas for dp

After myrtle uses her skill 3 times, retreat her

The rest of the dp gen will relie on texas, bring a fast reployer tooo

So if something go wrong, you can stop it

[trail musk]

@mild brook tdll me later if you also want to do the long spring wastes, this one is very very easily, thorns, logos, saria and 1 - 2 lane holders are enough to get rid of everything

The main hard part of this anni iss the shear number of enemies but since they're weak, logos gor u covered

[gritty shale]

Guys I'm new in the game and here

[maiden hound]

? just place unit and win

[gritty shale]

I tried many times and lost haha

Still too weak 😦

[maiden hound]

can use pusher in black-marked tiles to push enemies into hole

[gritty shale]

I didn't know that thanks

[trail musk]

You can try the classes made for that stage

This stage is for guard and specialist chip, so using operators from those two classes is recommended

For examble

[gritty shale]

What classes? Yk I'm still getting familiar with the games technique names 😦

[gritty shale]

Gotchaaa!!

[trail musk]

Ah oke let me explain this

[trail musk]

Like this

[gritty shale]

So guards are preferable for that stage

[trail musk]

A push in the white spot to push enermy into the hole

For the yellow place, a puller can pull enemies in

[maiden hound]

you can do another pusher bottom right

[trail musk]

Sadly , no

[maiden hound]

but you're probably not gonna raise enforcer so eh

[gritty shale]

Does any of my selected operators push enemies? Hhh

[trail musk]

The only hole u can push enemies in on the bottom and left side is the one hole in the right corner

[maiden hound]

do you have shaw

[trail musk]

Which u need a VERY good pusher to do so

[trail musk]

You can try shaw, she's free

[gritty shale]

Let me check

[trail musk]

Nw i got you, let me go thru each off them

[trail musk]

Oh you mean the right side, but using a puller + defender on the top is better no?

Since if he doesn't good pusher

[maiden hound]

honestly can't remember the dogs there being that threatening

[trail musk]

Then using a defender to tank the mobs while the puller can slowly get rid of them

[maiden hound]

that's preferable too

[trail musk]

He's still a newbie, let's take it slow for him

[scarlet mortar]

bot right has dogs, crossbows and a logger iirc

[gritty shale]

I forgot which stage was that? 😹

[trail musk]

Guard chip stage

[scarlet mortar]

if D-1 then it's just fodder

[gritty shale]

Ok

[trail musk]

Alrighty guy, can i have a moment

Let me explain some basic knownlegde for him

[gritty shale]

Ok

[trail musk]

@gritty shale there're a total of 8 main classes in the game:
Medic
Guard
Vanguard
Defender
Sniper
Caster
Supporter
Specialist

[scarlet mortar]

medic*

[trail musk]

These determite what each operator will be used, well, "most of them"

Now let's break it down

[gritty shale]

Ok

[trail musk]

Guard is a ground unit, specialise in close range combat, have decent atk, def and hp

[maiden hound]

that's dreadnought subclass description moreso

but go on

[trail musk]

Vanguard is close to guard but they're not strong, instead, vanguards are usually the first operators u'll place down to generate dp or kill some early weak enemies

[gritty shale]

My guard always gets knocked down first hhh

[trail musk]

I'll explain about branches later, just saying the general use

[maiden hound]

depends on your guard
some maybe can act a backliner to dps while others tank, some rampage head on, etc
might be an issue of underlevelling/underutilization

[trail musk]

Sniper or caster are kinda the same
They are both ranged units, place on high tiles
The main different is sniper deal physical damage while caster deal Arts damage

Most caster have smaller range than sniper, keep that in mind

[maiden hound]

(note that physical damage dealt = atk - enemy defense, arts damage dealt = atk x (100 - enemy res)%)

[trail musk]

Defender or tanker, this class have high hp, high defender but low damage, usually use to stop enemy in a specific spot for your dps to attack or to protect the back line

[trail musk]

I'l explain it later

Can u please have some time~ don't wanna rush thru everything

[gritty shale]

How many medic/caster should I put in the squad? 3 enough?

[trail musk]

It'l be hard for him to get it all

[maiden hound]

eh fine

[trail musk]

I recommend changing depending on the stage

[gritty shale]

Yeah so for this specific stage I guess I should use more defenders/supporters/guards...

[trail musk]

Some might need more healer, some might need more dps, so alway look at the stage first to see who you should bring, and u can alway retry a stage

[trail musk]

Let me continue and u'll see

So that's guard, vanguard, sniper and caster done

[gritty shale]

Ok

[trail musk]

Medic or healer, like their name, most of them don't attack enemy but instead, heal your other operator, simple as that

Supporter specialise in buffing or debuffing the enemy or give out heal, it depend since supporter and specialist are VERY versaltite

Specialist, idk how to explain this one, just know that if an operators can't be put in any of the other 7 classes, they're put in here

This is the general usage for each classes... BUT

Not every operator follow the same rule, that is why we have "branches" or "sub-classes"

These are smaller classes that truly define an operator

[maiden hound]

and "operator kit" also

[trail musk]

Yeah yeah~ gonna do it later

[trail musk]

For examble

We have lappland

She is a guard, but clicking on her profile then the bottom right, u'll see she have the branch "lord"

That mean not only she can melee damaging enemy, she can also launch ranged attack on enemies from far away or in the air

While most guard can't hit flying enemies, "lord" subclass can

Another examble is saria

She is a defender, but her kit (skills) let her heal other operators. So her subclass is "guardiant"

In conclusion, read an operator class to understand their general use and their branch to know exactly when or what to use them for

any question before i move on?

[gritty shale]

I got one and I just put her in the squad and guess I'm winning the stage😻

[trail musk]

That's great do here

Now i'll move on to the damage type. U don't need to remember much since playing the game will help u get to know every operator more, or even, find weird use for them

Arknights have 4 MAIN damage types
Physical
Arts
True
Elemental

[gritty shale]

Look

[trail musk]

But i'll only talk about the first 3

[gritty shale]

Sure

[trail musk]

Congrat, two tips here
1: try to win with no leak, then u can auto the level next times
2: when u have finish using an operator, in this case, beanstalk, u can retreat them and give place for another better one

Beanstalk damage isn't huge so you should change her into jessical when you have enough dp for your team

[trail musk]

So. Ehem
Physical:

[maiden hound]

👊

🔪

[trail musk]

Most classes especialy guard and sniper deal physical damage

[maiden hound]

🔫

[trail musk]

Physical damage get reduce by the "DEF" stat

For examble,
You deal 100 physical damage on a hit, they enemy have 20 def then they only lose 80 hp (100 - 20 = 80)

Arts is the opposite, some operator (mostly caster, healer and supporter) can deal Arts damage

Arts damage is affacted by the "RES" stat

And it's reduced by %

So 20 res = 20% arts damage reduction

[gritty shale]

What's beanstalk? You mean delete them?

[trail musk]

The vanguard you placed there

[trail musk]

And i mean remive her by click her then the small X button next to her to retreat her

[gritty shale]

What should I do for her?

[maiden hound]

kil

[trail musk]

For examble. If you deal 500 arts damage on hit, the enemy have 20 RES then they'll only take 400 damage

[gritty shale]

Srsly? Hhh

[trail musk]

Undeploy her

Like remove her from that spot for a better operator

[gritty shale]

Ok

[trail musk]

When an operator is "undeployed" or "killed" (jk)

[gritty shale]

Roger that..

[trail musk]

They'll have around 65 seconds of rest before being ready to be deployed at another spot

[maiden hound]

(depends on the subclass) but go on

[trail musk]

(Except for executor branch)

[gritty shale]

I seeeee so I need to change them for the next stage?

[trail musk]

[maiden hound]

agents have 35s, merchants have around that too

[trail musk]

Like you pull them back from their spot

To place a better operator there

[gritty shale]

Okay

[trail musk]

Or to change their position later on

[maiden hound]

a potential replacement for her is kroos

[gritty shale]

Ok

[trail musk]

The final damage type is True Damage (don't tell him ahout elemental just yet, that'll be left for the future)

Like it's name

It can not be affacted by enemy stats

[gritty shale]

Don't have kroos yet

[trail musk]

So if you deal 100 true damage on one hit, then the enemy take 100 damage

[maiden hound]

bypasses all def/res except for when hypergryph ltd. coders messes up (might be unintentional or intentional)

[trail musk]

Ugh.... she's free tho...

[maiden hound]

maybe they're not that far in story

[trail musk]

But u should really use her, since she's very very good for early game

Welp that's all for today

Ping 46982105 if have further more question

Which 46982105 , don't try to stuff his head with even more knownlegde

[gritty shale]

I mean I can get her from recruit or headhunt right?

[trail musk]

That's enough for 1 day

[trail musk]

Yeap, or just do the story

[gritty shale]

What story?

[maiden hound]

main theme

[gritty shale]

I should watch story? 🤔

[maiden hound]

you know, something like "episode 0: evil time part 1"

[gritty shale]

Yeah I should replay the game from stage 0?

[maiden hound]

uhh just continue where you've left off

[trail musk]

Imagine they skipped it and go straight for chapter 9

[gritty shale]

Hahaha

I never skipped a stage only the stories🥹

[trail musk]

Well, nw

just play the game then u'l figure things out yourself

I was once a newbie too, anyone was

[gritty shale]

Ok sensei

[gritty shale]

True

[trail musk]

Now

Blanknights

[gritty shale]

Do we fight friends squads on the game? Or we only target enemies?

[maiden hound]

only fight enemies, no pvp for now

[trail musk]

What were u typing i saw u but didn't see anything you wrote

[gritty shale]

I'm in this stage now

[trail musk]

Arknights have a coop event, but it's teamwork and no pvp

[maiden hound]

sometimes there's a seasonal co-op mode and a betting game on which group of enemy kills the other first but eh, doesn't matter uch to newbies

[gritty shale]

I have fixed operators

[limpid ore]

TR-12, the first difficulty spike for people who dont read

[trail musk]

That mean u can only them for the stage

[gritty shale]

Where can I team up?

[trail musk]

Figure the stage instead of bruteforcing with damage

[trail musk]

That's your challenge

[maiden hound]

it's seasonal

[trail musk]

Figure it out yaself that's he fun of the game

[limpid ore]

TR stage is stage about learning how to play

[gritty shale]

Born to play forced to read haha

[limpid ore]

either read or get gaslighted

[dry venture]

I like to ask, Is HS-8 possible to destroy these thief Rats before they broke the Vault down at the above of map?

[limpid ore]

yes, i used Eyja S3

[trail musk]

For examble, dusk and nian is lover but shu alway jealous so she ask chongyue to seperate those two

[limpid ore]

just cook them faster

[trail musk]

(Jk)

[gritty shale]

Let me cook

[trail musk]

Yes

It is

But it'll be annoying, the best way is to borrow a nuker like wisadel or typhoon s3 for thay

[limpid ore]

Nova Drift devs successfully gaslight his community for 7 years believing that Space Whale exists ingame

[dry venture]

I see, I read both answers. thanks.

[trail musk]

[gritty shale]

Thanks guys

Gonna get back if I beat them haha

[trail musk]

[rich plover]

Tips on IW 9?

[narrow pendant]

Yatoalt s3

[rich plover]

Did it

[dry venture]

Grats

[mild brook]

I always die to crossbow guy

[trail musk]

U need to cover the right pillar, those gúy have global range and deal insane damage against ops in the sandstorm

[noble summit]

how do I beat 7-9?

[south spindle]

do you have cantabile/ines/vulpis?

need some quick cheap lane hold

[noble summit]

nope

[south spindle]

mountain is good

chargers too

ines might be a very good borrow to make dp to start holding everything down

[noble summit]

i have him at elite 1

[south spindle]

yeap good enough, probably to hold top right corner

or left side

but want to open with some strong vanguard

[noble summit]

his ability has a delay when i deploy him

[south spindle]

ya

[noble summit]

also the hounds do quite a lot

[south spindle]

he should be E1-40 + SL7 ideally

but think u rather have him top right, gonna need like 2 operators to hold the initial hounds

[noble summit]

what support should i get

[south spindle]

vulpisfoglia (s3) or ines (s2)

[noble summit]

none of my friends have those

[south spindle]

Light#7714

[noble summit]

sent

[south spindle]

looks like ines can solo that initial lane if you use skill off cool down

Mountain should be able to solo top right

use a proper lane hold for left side

and then use any decent ranged to kill the middle guy

[full terrace]

Ines can lanehold right side all the way

[south spindle]

ya i meant to say initial as in the first lane that gets rushed

theres 2 right sides

[full terrace]

I meant the entire right side, you can position her at the top facing left, she can cover both lanes

Just help her block if needed

And heal up

I remember running a test for someone before

[south spindle]

oh really interesting

thats pretty good wow

[south spindle]

switching out ines

[torpid prawn]

If anyone is trying to do ex-7CM while not having wisadel/logos/ines
You can alter it for wisadel/p6 e1 max totter/lapper s3 (for final wave)
Do note that you need to bring a melee unit to stall and reveal the invisible slugs bot lane during the final wave and even bring another AoE sniper cuz the drones will start flying towards the end

[limpid ore]

you can full melee dps ex-7

[vocal leaf]

imagine needing p6 for a clear

[limpid ore]

dont even need anti drones as they latch to your operator and that's all

your melee can swatt them like mosquitos

the drones have 1 hp

and they become ground unit when attacking

[vocal leaf]

seems like i used enforcer for ex-7

[lapis hornet]

don't need any fraud unit

[limpid ore]

those drones die instantly when they took damage less elemental injury

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pluma not dps bro

[lapis hornet]

no dph no dps

v sad

[scarlet fulcrum]

frfr

[haughty flower]

Who's holding the boss here?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Hung

[haughty flower]

Pft. I guess that makes sense, I suppose defrec's viable for this stage with all the pollution?

[lapis hornet]

ppl yap way too much about def

[scarlet fulcrum]

Controlling pollution kinda fine

[lapis hornet]

it's literally just max d IS

which no one cares about

exu was main damage dealer in cc5

vs 2k def

[scarlet fulcrum]

that was good time

[lapis hornet]

yall just spoiled by no brain boom boom units nowadays

[scarlet fulcrum]

[narrow pendant]

Nope im a good player and dont use wis

[haughty flower]

🧢

[narrow pendant]

Only place i use wis is ra and IS

Wont see my ass using her in events🥱

[dark mantle]

actual good players use wis for events but not in IS/RA

[narrow pendant]

Thats feik
I heard good players dont play ra

[glass monolith]

I am bad player so i don't use Wis in events

[wintry gulch]

i don't have wis

[vocal leaf]

I wonder what are those hard stages, where you must have certain ops or who are those bad ops like are we talking about 5stars or like eunectes/carne… or the ones who used to be good but now are seemingly unusable because they got powercreep like SA, chalter, pozy, etc

[wintry gulch]

@trail kindle send your roster (list of operators) if you need help

[trail kindle]

I want 1 op deff Early stage

I cant used vang give me dp cost

In map hs s 1 cm

[wintry gulch]

can't help you without knowing what operators you have

[glass monolith]

I agree that Ines existence causing HG to print too much invisible enemies and it must stop

[tender patrol]

didn't people tell this guy to use lin?

[trail kindle]

Yep

[wintry gulch]

yeah

[tender patrol]

why don't you borrow lin then

[trail kindle]

Give me lin

[tender patrol]

what

refresh? or #friend-id

[lapis hornet]

why we need lin

send your ign if you want her tho

[glass monolith]

S1 CM when towers start printing flies

[wintry gulch]

p sure virtuosa can also deal with them

[teal moon]

the guy is allergic to basic manners

[tender patrol]

english isn't their primary language perhaps

[teal moon]

[main basalt]

i think they are viet

[teal moon]

I think for most of us english isn't the main language

[tender patrol]

can't expect the same from everyone

[wintry gulch]

use virtuosa if you can't find lin

[trail kindle]

How br virtuosa

I want br fast

[tender patrol]

what is br

[trail kindle]

Not go #friend-id

[main basalt]

Algo#5796 add me for virtuosa

[haughty flower]

What's yours?

[teal moon]

I thought it was known I'm Italian (Supah's is my neighbour)

[haughty flower]

I forgor'ed, tell him I said Ciao

[wintry gulch]

i genuinely do not know if this is a joke

[vocal leaf]

no one would ever joke about supah, we all love him i wish i was his neighbor 💞

[wintry gulch]

supah idol de xiao rong dou mei ni de tian

[teal moon]

nah, I'm not joking

[wintry gulch]

lmao what

say hi for me

[spark sinew]

we all learned something new today

[glass monolith]

That's just how AK works, every day some useless trivia

[trail musk]

For real, he's the one show me to use gummy

~~ then put her away right after i got Shu~~~

[vocal leaf]

nah, i was joking too

[trail musk]

lesson learnt, never trust someone when they say they love Supah

[wintry gulch]

[mild brook]

I need someone at the very top?

[south spindle]

What stage?

[mild brook]

The sandstorm anni

[maiden hound]

just use the pillar builder to cover top right

[south spindle]

ah logos destroys that one

and yes you need operators to help hold off the top left

every bit or so something comes to break down the pillars iirc

[lilac steppe]

Hey2, can you help with this medal? Not sure with the whole miasma thingy..

[elder flume]

Miasma is the name of the enemy

simply kill it in clear water

[lilac steppe]

Oooo. Ok! Thx

[trail musk]

U can try this

The whole stage is VERY easy

The right side, thorns or any guard with longer than 1 tile attack range is fine

The whole left side, logos will take care of... EVERYTHING

Just put 1 medic and 1/2 tanker and logos will solo

Be careful that after the 375 mark, the cloning guys will come in group of two which sometime logos can't kill then, so if posible, bring texas alter or some cc to slow/stun them for logos to take care

[vital arrow]

Ethan, manticore or ascalon is nice

You want aoe in this stage

[torpid prawn]

If anyone is trying to do ex-8-CM without a maxed gladia+ulpianus then this version also works.
When the 1st phase is close to finish drop down the snipers, susuri,Honneyberry (or similar range to cover ulpianus and mlynar) and mlynar and hope that no one dies early especially the healers and mlynar.
When phase2 is about to start the enemies will be almost in mlynar range so activate every skill
Edit: if you use lapper s1 check the extra tip image below

[teal moon]

I doubt anyone have gladiia at mod1 but not at mod2

[trail musk]

Becaredul if someone want to use this strat

[teal moon]

they either have her unraised, meaning you'll borrow a modded one, or you have raised, and she already has at least mod2

[trail musk]

If you turn on lap alter to slowly kill the boss, make sure to turn the skill off when it reach this spot

To prevent the water from getting polluded

[teal moon]

seems like just extrastep for sth that it's so easy to fix with a borrow since you don't even need to auto the stage

[trail musk]

True

Ulpianus and gladiia can easily solo the stage

The hard part is keeping gladiia alive

Ulpianus, u can just borrow him, this is an ex stage, not like u'll farm this stage more than once

[teal moon]

it wasn't a problem

gladiia survives easily

[trail musk]

Not so sure tho

I have e2lvl60, module lvl 3

And she sometime reach low health

[teal moon]

yeah, but she doesn't die

[trail musk]

So if you have worse gladiia

Bring something to distract those mini mobs

[teal moon]

lv60 kinda the bare minimum anyway

[trail musk]

If gladiia survice, ulpi is not gonna die

[teal moon]

at most add a random body in the strat

[trail musk]

Or texas alter skill 3 for stunning

Remember doctors, keep your ulpianus healthy by planting him in a toxic waste rice field

[torpid prawn]

True i forgot to mention this.
I left her skill on for some extra damage and just switched the pump back and forth while the boss was there. (Pump up-down-up)

[trail musk]

That's the point
For the non CM mode
Switch the pump to clear the boss path when he get there then switch back when he leaves

For the cm mode, quickly put down a pump to clean the water asap or u'll have no clear water later on

[scarlet fulcrum]

Leizi time

My fav singer

[scarlet fulcrum]

Nice synthesizer combo

[rapid junco]

You so me

[gritty shale]

Guys how to defeat blemish?

[full terrace]

You damage it, using your operator

[gritty shale]

Which operator? He keeps killing my melee units?

[full terrace]

Thats because you did not control the blight properly, the thing does Arts damage when it's attacking from blighted tile

Dude has 400 def 20 res only, any operator can kill it

[gritty shale]

I'm new in game hhh

Sometimes they go like shadows and can't attack them

[dry venture]

As far as I recall, Blemish always aims at the latest deployment of your operators. If you messed controlling the blight, you can put tank last, I suppose.

[gritty shale]

Ok

[dry venture]

There are enemies that have invincibility when they enter the blight area.

[narrow pendant]

Noone has invincibility

[dry venture]

Invisible *

[narrow pendant]

If u misstyped invisibility then yes

And its only the small little guys

[full terrace]

Idk what you are talking about, Blemish doesnt have such ability, if you are lacking dps just borrow a broken unit from your friend

[scarlet fulcrum]

my greyyalter too too weak, barely able to control wave

[narrow pendant]

Max him🫡

[gritty shale]

Not blemish but the other small enemies who go shadow

[full terrace]

Those critters just block them

[gritty shale]

[gritty shale]

When I try using a guard blemish attacks it haha

[full terrace]

Control your blight and it wont hurt you

And if it still does, just bait

Using Gravel or something

Which stage you are struggling on again?

And whats your squad look like?

[rugged lava]

in this position, what do i do? which choice is best?

1. deploy exusiai and hit Sui as low as possible, then kils sui at tiles logos can reach,
2. retreat and redeploy Logos to kill Sui in the tile cardigan hold him off
3. retreat mountain, then replace cardigan with mountain and finish him in the tile cardign is

[maiden hound]

is logos on s3?

[rugged lava]

S3

[maiden hound]

can you jsut infinitely stall em middle right and burst logoos s3 when it comes

[rugged lava]

i forgot to capture my operator

[maiden hound]

can the pump next to ptilo be pulled back

[somber falcon]

What is that pump placement

[rugged lava]

then what

[rugged lava]

redeploy logos on that next to ptilopsis tiles?

[somber falcon]

You're sourcing your pumps from your killzone

[maiden hound]

exu there to wipe him probably

[full terrace]

At Phase 2 that thing hits super hard so it's not advised to block it, the play here is to let it walk inside Logos range and have him burst, you can deploy bodies if necessary in order to keep it inside Logos range. Mountain tile is the choke, all enemies will walk through that tile, you want them to walk toward him so that he can damage them but since your Defenders positioning preventing him to do that your Mountain is practically useless, so here are some fixes for your formation:

1. Retreat Cuora and Nearl, then deploy either behind Mountain so that he can dps those etc enemies
2. Reposition Ptilopsis facing up, that way she can heal Cuora/Nearl behind Mountain as well
3. Reposition Logos to the tile left of Ptilopsis, facing left. That way he can control both the boss and the rest of the last wave

Also you need to adjust your Pumps positioning there

As for killing the Phase 1, just slow dps it with Exu

It takes time but she'll get it done

[rugged lava]

i probably will restart then since it is about pump thing. but. is it really pumping placement bad? then which tiles that pump goes?

[full terrace]

The bottom right farmland is untouched by enemies, but the boss will pass through that once

Make it so that you dont damage the boss

On that farmland

[somber falcon]

Main point is to not have the source polluted

[full terrace]

Then you can deploy 2 Pumps sourced from that farmland

To the midsection farmland

It will stay clean the entire fight that way

[somber falcon]

How to set it is entirely dependent on where you're holding the lane

[full terrace]

The midsection Pumps placement will depend on your strategy, from the looks of it you are slowly lowering the boss's stats on the left-most farmland, if this is the case then your current midsection Pumps are okay

[rugged lava]

so, he has to die on the tiles where cardigan is and not in attack range of logos?

[full terrace]

During Phase 1 yes

It has to die on Cardigan section

Then Phase 2 it will walk toward Logos control area

[rugged lava]

iirc, it does have annoying range attack like wolves in Siracusano?

[full terrace]

If your concern is Logos eating stray bullets, you can bring, for example Gravel

And the cheap Yato

To bait its attacks

Basically you want to control the midsection farmland coz all enemies pass through there including the boss, and someone to hold the choke on Mountain tile (Mountain is fine)

It's solvable with 2 ops even #strategy message

[hollow wadi]

I completed Ulpianus (witn Gladiia) and Lapp Alter HS-EX-8

[wintry gulch]

Ulpi gladiia can 2 op

[full stream]

Ulpianus gladia brainrot is much worse than wisadel brainrot

[full terrace]

You still struggling there? I got a bit of time on my hand, I can run you a quick simulation

[narrow pendant]

Can u simulate matrix

[vocal leaf]

but they are a hot duo, husband and wife of the sea, wisadel is just an ugly roach

[full stream]

at least with wis u press the button gladia and ul is just drop them on the choke point

💔

[full terrace]

Here you go. Gummy = your Nearl, Susurro = your Silence. Thats your squad and your strat, I changed nothing.

[mortal echo]

lappland disables these things from exploding right

[full stream]

yes

[mortal echo]

nice

[rugged lava]

that is really smooth. im going to get it done now

[south spindle]

starting E1

[kindred stirrup]

5-7

I’m stuck 😢

[scarlet mortar]

you could try to setup the top lane all the way to the right first

although if that lapp is E2, she can silence the drone

lapp + jessica S2 should be able to handle the slug spam

then slowly kill the drones while you're setting up bot lane

[rapid junco]

@scarlet fulcrum
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=xPZlLZcGXVY&si=BuXTYvLESty5a5j9

[full terrace]

Borrow a Narantuya

[rapid junco]

Omg arf

[full terrace]

Hi ia 😄

[rapid junco]

[narrow pendant]

Thats ia?

I didnt even notice
Im a fraud

🥹

[south spindle]

did you get it?

would borrow ines or vulpis and place top right

[kindred stirrup]

Trying not to use supports

😢

[south spindle]

o okay hm

thats good

[kindred stirrup]

I don’t wanna rely on it too much

Makes the game kinda less fun

[south spindle]

yessir

this is the way

🥹

[south spindle]

well cyan gave a strat here

did it work?

also don't need 3 vanguards, and can prob also drop melantha moving forward

[kindred stirrup]

It’s a big painful miserable path

[south spindle]

well if you wanna stream ill watch kind of bored

can see whats going on

[haughty flower]

In this case, kroos, lappy, and jessalt topside. Exu and steward down low, + a blocker. Already try that, and not enough DPS?

[south spindle]

i only vaguely remember pesky drones that come around thats about it

[haughty flower]

Oh right, if your DP production is good, you could try and get that 40 dp drone device down early.

[south spindle]

yeap, i see wanqing is e0 so its not gonna be the fastest

[haughty flower]

It'll cut off the cold drone's dinky ass freezer.

[south spindle]

would just use myrtle because easier e1 and cheaper skill levels

[rich plover]

Righto righto, how do I deal with HS EX 8?

[south spindle]

if you have ulpi gladiia its free

[rich plover]

Imma try to get Gladiia first then

[south spindle]

else uh just need dps on both top and bottom

keep water supplies clean

so start pumping early

@rich plover don't bother getting a gladiia up from 0 if you dont have ulpianus

[rich plover]

You're right

[south spindle]

roster?

[rich plover]

Will eventually replace Lappland soon

[south spindle]

okay ascalon and narantuya have to hold the middle area and clear the strong mobs, prob narantuya s3

lapalt to decay boss passive in first form very quickly

then burst him on phase 2 with degen and stuff

[full terrace]

This is free

[rich plover]

True

[full terrace]

You dont need Gladiia/Ulpi

[rich plover]

I'll try then

Do I position Laptop further in the back?

[full terrace]

Are you borrowing any unit btw?

I mean you dont need to, but if you want a smooth and fast clear

[rich plover]

Might as well lol

[full terrace]

Lemme see.. which strat suits you best

Let's strip the boss naked with Lappcaster

Lemme try this out

[south spindle]

yeap

[full terrace]

I'll get back to you

[south spindle]

lapp2 does very good for phase 1

[rich plover]

Me when I mine

[south spindle]

i mean i kind of already laid out the core

hold middle ascalon tuya

lapp2 does her thing and should be phase 2 very quick

then you burst down

[elder flume]

i forgot to use Catapult skill earlier
should be safer if you use it earlier

Steward can be changed to Exu too after the armor boys are gone

[kindred stirrup]

I’ll play for a bit more

Been at it for quite a bit

😭

2 hours

Making me tweak

[south spindle]

o.o

take a break

sometimes you just try some thing for ages

then just come back to it and it immediately get it

[kindred stirrup]

Yea

[south spindle]

take a break then come back

[kindred stirrup]

I’ll just gts for now

[south spindle]

and ill watch

[south spindle]

go to sleep?

[kindred stirrup]

It’s like 2 am

I been up

For a bit

[south spindle]

wtf where is it 2 am

south america?

[kindred stirrup]

North America

[south spindle]

uhhh am i stupid hm

oh far east of canada

has a time zone i didn't know

[kindred stirrup]

Jajaja

[haughty flower]

Bro forgot the 51st state, holy fraud

[south spindle]

bro i thought canada has 3 zones like US

🥀

my fault

[haughty flower]

Prepare to be annihilated by the Glorious Leader.

Wait 3?

[kindred stirrup]

Oh i looked at the time wrong its 12:44 am

I didn’t see the 1

[south spindle]

oh we have 4 i can't count
people who live in Mountain time aren't real

[kindred stirrup]

😭

[south spindle]

oh bruh then just normal EST time lol

[full terrace]

@rich plover There you go

Ngl that was fun 😂

[rich plover]

Real

[full terrace]

I have been making strats for main stories, kinda miss the high-end play with these broken units

That was refreshing

[rich plover]

hahaha

[elder flume]

is my 5-7 vid inadequate to your playstyle

or are they too max level

[south spindle]

using meta units Mr Arf?!

drop down and give me 10 sets of 3* units

[rich plover]

Glad to see updated strat videos for reruns

Especially low-end

[full terrace]

Thats his squad lol #strategy message
Nobody really struggles with Shu event there is no need to make low-end video for it 😂

[south spindle]

i know lmaoo

[rich plover]

Suprised I managed to finish the last normal stage with a few tries

What about the special stages tho

[full terrace]

Wdym special stages? The S stages?

Tbf HS-S-4 is easier than HS-EX-8 so

I dont remember much about those stages, you should be able to breeze through them

With that squad I mean

[rich plover]

Uh, Laptop's wolf drones got distracted by the top lane by the time she recharges

This vexes me

Maybe I should trigger her skill earlier

[full terrace]

Deploy your Lappland before the boss spawns, and then when it spawns, dont use her skill right away

Let her do some normal attacks

When the boss started walking, use her skill

That way you will 1 cycle the Phase 1

[rich plover]

What about Phase 2

[full terrace]

When you defeat Phase 1, she charges up again

Just use her skill when its ready

Did you watch the video til the end?

[rich plover]

For some reason, by the time she recharges, those white blobs spawn in the last sec

Yea I did

[full terrace]

Study the timing there

[rich plover]

Gotcha

[full terrace]

Thats fine, you dont need all drones to reach the boss

[rich plover]

M3 not required?

[full terrace]

Use your Ines to help dps if needed

And your Degen

M3 not really needed, if your dps is lacking add Degen

[rich plover]

Got it

[full terrace]

Also

You can throw bodies at the boss

With Gravel or something

Its fine even if it one shots them

Keep throwing bodies to stall for your Lappcaster to recharge

Can also use Asca

[rich plover]

None of the ranged enemies inflict Blight right?

[full terrace]

If you follow my Pumps setup, you dont really need to worry about blight because all farmlands will be clean

Only that one plot of land on bottom left will be blighted but thats fine

You just need to keep the bottom right farmland clean

[rich plover]

Yea

[full terrace]

So defeat Phase 2 before the boss reaches there

[rich plover]

Got it thanks

What's the CM gimmick?

[full terrace]

Uh I dont remember what it was but that video was made on CM

Oh I think some farmlands start blighted

Iirc

[rich plover]

Ok, nothing changes got it
