Her s2 is % based and she could use tje extra heals

Exe alter by the same logic

If you are going for low op cleaers ling and skalter can sustain themselves through most farming stages

[scarlet mortar]

mud is a bit ehhhhhh

ig it's not the most egregious combo, but mud S2 doesn't scale against hp creep nowadays

unless you want to add 2m to your autos

Oh yeah chong is quite busted with a permenant buff

He dosent really need it

But he does like it a lot

[jovial nest]

Interesting anni....

[narrow pendant]

Afk by 4 ops

[jovial nest]

share it. I'm not too interested in overkilling this stage

I want to finish it asap

[vocal leaf]

ulpi gladiia logos and one vg

i added horn for extra dps and eyja for passive buff

simplest anni we had till this day

[jovial nest]

gotcha

[timid schooner]

oyuki

would be nice if i can use ulpipi + gladiia but i did not raise gladiia yet

[full terrace]

Welp that was a fun blind attempt

[vocal leaf]

you wouldn’t need her, ulpi is barely taking any damage

but it’s nice to see the old anni mains like thorns and blaze

[timid schooner]

ye

old but gold

[jovial nest]

fuck it. Overkilling it with additional shit

including Shu's 4 season passive

[vocal leaf]

recommendation, put someone like horn facing top, enemies there take a while going in circles, otherwise gladiia can pull them into the hole

[full terrace]

Narantuya center control is so beautiful this anni

[noble hollow]

can you just put ulpian mid lane and call it a day

[haughty flower]

Ulpi can cover mid lane on his own but he'll need another blocker for the other lane.
And there's still the issue of the top left red box, which you'll need someone else on.

[noble hollow]

virt s1 can prob solo that ya

just seems to be the heavy dudes

[haughty flower]

Top left lane? Sure, though keep in mind that you're gonna get the top lane's water dirty that way.

[noble hollow]

i'll figure something out later

[haughty flower]

I did I quick rundown of the strats used in this channel and I prefer Fredi's way the most for an ulpi-based run.

Ulpi midlane, any blocker maybe with a healer on them for the lower lane. Utilize valves to isolate clean pools of water, logos s1 for flies, and marcille can be replaced with anyone strong enough to blow up the elites top left.

[noble hollow]

does shoe need to be s1 m3

[haughty flower]

Shu can be literally anyone with three block, it's just if they're not her I might put a healer on them just in case.

[next wigeon]

Nah

[haughty flower]

Also, in this setup either ulpi or whoever is in shu's spot goes down last.

[noble hollow]

ok ill clear later then

[haughty flower]

That way, the global range bozos don't hit your squishies.

Last thing, if the top right's flypoles activate logos is cooked unless he has a healer on him. Try to keep that from happening.

[narrow pendant]

🥹 using mine

[noble hollow]

ill just bring gladiia and have her down last near those just in case

[noble hollow]

i will freaking attack you irl

[narrow pendant]

Nothing actually walks up onto the tiles with thw poles right above the mid red box, so everyone goes to ulpi or shu
Shu just there for block and healing, she is s1m3 but its not needed at all
Even someone like bassline works fine

[haughty flower]

I basically copied what you did, just with a lot more shit on the field.
Nymph for Marcille, Logos, Ulpi, Specter over Shu, Gladiia, and then Lumen covering Specter and Logos.

[narrow pendant]

And ulpi must face down

Otherwise shu gets overwherlmed latwr

Well, if u dont have someone helping her
Theres 7 more slots u can use

[haughty flower]

Specter lives if you have a healer on her :ya:
How broken are 5 stars.

I dont have shu tho😔

[vocal leaf]

don’t need any of the two

[fresh willow]

Well dang do i suck then💔

[narrow pendant]

Yes

Shu can be any 3 block

[lapis hornet]

wdf op

[graceful bear]

Dumb question: If I want to spawn camp the deep red tile on the right side for the new Anni, do I just FRD Ines there to reveal the (I presume) invis rats and slugs and then use Logos to spawnkill?

[glass monolith]

I seen spawnkillers just Logos them

[narrow pendant]

If u mean that very right box, the rats get revealed when they attack the valve

So just slap some op to kill then

Like astrelgpt did wisadel here

[graceful bear]

Valves have enough health to tank the rat hits before Logos Logoses all over them?

[vocal leaf]

they don’t get to hit it, logos insta kill them when they try

only the big rats can move before he kills them

but it doesn’t matter, you can relocate more platforms or buff logos with stainless, skalter or eyja to kill then faster

[narrow pendant]

But placing logos there would then take away his strengh in the middle where it matters more

Tho, its an easy anni so

[graceful bear]

Yeah I figured Midlane is just going to be Ulpianus's funzone

since there's no flying enemies other than the poles which won't spawn if I spawncamp right side

Wait, Eyja has an attack buff?

[vocal leaf]

yeah a passive atk buff for casters when she’s in team, need module tho

[wheat arch]

Feel like Goldenglow works too

[graceful bear]

You don't want to kill the Scum in the top left so you can keep clean water flowing right?

[vocal leaf]

it’s optional, gladiia can pull those enemies

[narrow pendant]

And u can just clean them

[vocal leaf]

yeah spawnkill is faster, some of them waste time going in circles

[narrow pendant]

Exhibit A
U can isolate the water at bottom to make a clear spot to use and clean the water top left

And well, everywhere else

[haughty flower]

The little pond of clean water with 2 valves coming out of it is the most important part here.
If you don't keep that pond safe in order to keep a source of clean water the skypoles on bottom left and middle activate and have fun if that happens.

You also really don't want any skypoles near logos to go off if you don't have a healer on him and that pond helps keep that from happening.

[rugged lava]

help me h8-4. i cannot erase talulah's meteor with logos S3 m3 borrowed. is this already fixed and the hint video on youtube not usable anymore?

[glass monolith]

Do you have video of it failing?

[haughty flower]

It's part of his skill, not a bug. It only happens during the end of s3, if they left his s3 zone they will not be erased.

Thus if you're only depending on logos the timing will need to be good.

[rugged lava]

as far as i know, it is even possible to retreat logos before his duration end, and will delete any projectiles trapped inside. but i cannot do it this time too.

[glass monolith]

First time hearing about such tech

Also why the f would you retreat him if you need him for second wave of fireballs anyway

[haughty flower]

^

[rugged lava]

for deployment limit. i only deploy him once the meteor is close enough

[glass monolith]

What do you mean close enough he deploys with empty SP

[haughty flower]

That's s1

s3 windup is slow but it's still "only" 15 sp.

[stray spindle]

Is global range atk good in all IS?

[haughty flower]

I mean for casual play sure. Can't get too much more braindead than click button for global damage.

[rugged lava]

is it ever considered bad?

[full terrace]

It's good but it's more of QoL than necessity, you'd want burst damage in IS most of the time. In IS5 tho, global range doesnt have much appeal because there is an issue with handmixing

..unless you play strictly Undulation

[full terrace]

It depends on the unit but there are some scenarios where their global range works unfavorably yes.

[stray spindle]

QoL? Handmixing? Undulation?

[haughty flower]

Quality of life
IS5 mechanic. Lamp of Wishes tailors relics for you based on your ops. (For high end, this means you wasted a node if the specific relic wasn't wanted, and also hope to recruit the op in some cases.)
Undulation-the relic in question. Called Hand of Undulation, it buffs the archetype global range casters like lappy and goldenglow are in.

[stray spindle]

Okay?

[haughty flower]

Tldr Global Range casters less universally good in higher diff IS

Fine in lower diff

Which means as long as you play IS casually and do not enjoy self-harm, you will find use from global range casters!

[stray spindle]

Thank you btw

[haughty flower]

I read it all before it went and I think you summed it just fine, but I'd argue context is important-they were clearly a casual so in this case oversimplifying is fine. You just want to get across an overall concept here, skipping the nuances.

[late geyser]

what do you do after getting the king relics btw? do you just pick as much emergencies as possible or is it still worth refreshing for wish fulfilled?

[full terrace]

Depends on your playstyle. Some people will stick to their preferred setup and push for the Coin-Toy+Chalice later on at F5/F6 after robbing Cannot

My playstyle would be handmix right after King sets

And try to grab the Coin-Toy and Chalice through other means

[dark mantle]

it's bad

[full terrace]

The reason why I do this is because I get to draft strong units like Logos, Asca, and Lappcaster

why depends?

[full terrace]

If there is a Catastrophe actives, you wanna keep that Epoch. If there is another annoying Epoch actives you want to remove it by replacing it with Prosperous Epoch (option 1) only if the current Epoch has like 4~5 turns left

If it's only 1 turn left, you might want to wait it out and hopefully get yourself a fresh Catastrophe Epoch.

[rugged lava]

how do i check epoch things?

[full terrace]

If it's close to boss fight, like 4~5 nodes away, you want to activate the Prosperous Epoch so that no other annoying Epoch will appear right before your boss fight.

[full terrace]

You have no Epoch active atm

[rugged lava]

so i skip?

ok

[full terrace]

How many nodes until boss fight anyway

Eh nvm you are at d0

It's whatever

[rugged lava]

IS things really suck. d0, d1, epoch. so confusing. all i care and understand r that 'hope' limit me to recruit ops *6, recruiting ops really suck for forcing the player to choose from determined class (which some i dont have upgraaded high end ops at all, like suport, i have no virtuosa or ling), low squad limit, weak buff, uncompatible or irrelevant squad against certain stage etc

the cycle improvements between sl1 and s2m3 are so insane

40/25 skill to 25/25 skill

[next wigeon]

Big ass range

[wicked minnow]

i was really worried s2 was just gonna have shit stats

not really the case. i think if we are considering how much dps any singular unit can generate, she's probably really high up there

e2 lvl90 drones have 773 atk.
raidian has 529 attack. 12% and inspiration buff that would be about +63 attack
((773 * 1.8) + 63) * 3 / 1.8 = 2424 dps per summon on skill

skill has 50% uptime

oh one of her pots gives slightly more attack damn

[maiden hound]

can these guys hit air

[wicked minnow]

unfortunately no

[maiden hound]

aw

[wicked minnow]

i thought they did but just tested it

[noble hollow]

she seems like a fun summoner to play around with

[void terrace]

Is radian good?

[haughty flower]

Insane, there was literally a whole convo on this for you to read directly above you and yet you just asked without checking.

[scarlet mortar]

the convo above isn't very conclusive tbf

[narrow pendant]

Aitn building her anyway

probably

[wicked minnow]

good just depends what you're rating her against

i think she'd be the best welfare but that isnt a necessarily high bar

also i didnt test her s3 yet

her s3 looks quite solid

[scarlet mortar]

you don't have to do anything to build her besides playing IS6

[wicked minnow]

the main problem with getting her is that you need to be half decent at the game to even level her up 😭

[scarlet mortar]

literally she costs 0 mats

[haughty flower]

They figured out how to filter casuals, crazy.

[wicked minnow]

to e2 her you need to beat is6 at like d3 i think

the problem is that i think this is the hardest d0 ed1 boss

[scarlet mortar]

mfw some people are madge that their perfect E2L60 rosters will be hit by The Bird Event

[scarlet mortar]

https://vxb23.tv/EZZ6ziq

wait wtfrick

they took down the vid

clueless

[wicked minnow]

mmmm

coin shenanigans it would seem

[lofty stag]

how hard is it to build raidian anyway

[wicked minnow]

exp takes a couple runs to get to e1 level 80

to e2 her you need to beat a run at like d2+

[lofty stag]

that doesnt seem hard

just like how anyone would farm levels

for the battlepass

[wicked minnow]

ed1 boss is a bit of a dude

[lofty stag]

dud or dude

[wicked minnow]

uhhh he has a funny attack

dude

a dud would mean that he is easy

[lofty stag]

like where does he rank compared to other ed1 bosses

in terms of difficulty

[wicked minnow]

you know the yin and yang that explode where they touch each other?

there's a new enemy

[lofty stag]

thats flying

right

[wicked minnow]

it's just those guys but flying

yeaaaaah

wisadel needs like 2-3 hits to kill them

they kill wisadel

d0 btw

[lofty stag]

so its not so much the boss

[wicked minnow]

he doesnt really do much

[lofty stag]

as it is this certain enemy?

[wicked minnow]

yeah but he's the one that summons them

[lofty stag]

ohh

[wicked minnow]

i havent encountered him enough to know how the fight goes

so ill try again

[lofty stag]

what d are you on rn

[wicked minnow]

d0 🥹

it's the ed1 boss

[haughty flower]

On a serious note, what's their HP?

[wicked minnow]

bro bro it's based on hits

we should fire whoever came up with this idea

https://prts.wiki/w/梁

it's 10 hits

no shit wisadel gets rolled by them 😭

[haughty flower]

Sounds like lappslop fodder to me

[void terrace]

That convo tells me nothing without context

The damage numbers look ok

But what of utility and management

[wicked minnow]

her main utility is s3

it has a slow and arts fragility with 35% frag

s2 has the ability to stall enemies without damaging them

s2 has a really good 50% uptime and s3 has a worse uptime but more possibilities for positioning due to unique range linking mechanic

[scarlet mortar]

WISADEL FRAUDCHECK

🥹

worse than marksmen in the big 25

[void terrace]

Damn with the beams it could be useful

But dosent each summon take up deployment slots?

[wicked minnow]

yeah. unfortunately she didnt come with a mod to help her outside IS. i believe she has a bunch of IS6 specific buffs to help her there tho

[void terrace]

A supporter burning through 3-4 deployment slots is pretty bad

Short of ling levels of great dragon walls

The ranged floating snakes seem a pretty good starter for IS though

Ling suffers if she isnt immediately promoted, and even then her dp cost makes for tough openers

And your vanguards suck early if you are going with defender supporter squad

[dark mantle]

They're hitcount enemies
10 hits

I did figure out a solid strat for phase 1 now

If you stall yi at the top when he does the clone attack he does it in the 3 columns next to him

So if you place ops at the bottom he will never hit them

This changes with phase 2
Since it forces a mapwide clone attack
but after that you can repeat the same process

[wicked minnow]

yeah i figured that out if you scroll up a tiny bit

makes sense but god i hate hitcout shit

[dark mantle]

they'll be pure ass on d15
at least 50 hits minimum

[wicked minnow]

im counting on exu2 killing him in 1 skill. if not 1 then 3 skills with crane

this hitcount shit sounds awful

also do you mean the attacks are horizontal or vertical

i remember them being horizontal

[dark mantle]

the attacks are vertical

horizontal on the start of phase 2

but vertical again afterwards

[wicked minnow]

phase 1 is horizontal right?

[dark mantle]

no, vertical

[wicked minnow]

i need to look at a video of this. i might be misremembering then

[scarlet mortar]

one of the gazillion IS6 buffs she gets is a progression buff, on f5 or sth her summons stop taking deployment slots

outside of IS6 she's just literally every summoner ever though

she'll probs be able to low op farm stages, but summoners that aren't utility-heavy like mag S1 aren't exchangeable for 2025 kits

[wicked minnow]

my fight with him has been something like this in the video. are there variations to him? https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV18EuJz5Eqv/

[dark mantle]

Oh wait i'm stupid i meant horizontal lol

but err

It seems like he has variations

There was different enemies that spawned initially

[wicked minnow]

d0 exualt with crane just kills the boss. that's atleast cool. this looks cancer on high diff. why is this ed1 😭

[dark mantle]

yeah you can do burst comp on lower diff

But you prolly need to highroll broken relics to do it on d15

[rugged lava]

i hate this stage. what should i do here?

can i win with this?

i honestly was surprised when this boss prevent redeployment lol

[haughty flower]

You just use wisadel to kill the boss p1, retreat wis then break her out with like exu or another ranged op you don't need, then hold the line with a few other ops until wis refreshes.
Don't think there's too much else to it? It's not ed1a, far as I can see.

Man, if you think this boss is tough wait til you see the other endings, lol.

[rugged lava]

i cannot put practice for IS stage so it is stressful. this is tough unless i was not forced to unlock as many weakass *3 and 4 as this

if i close the emulator during the game, do i lose anyway? or do i restart?

[haughty flower]

Mid stage? You always lose.

Any method that kills the stage in the middle of you doing it will end your run.

[buoyant pond]

what am i supposed to do to make the big black heavily armored reunion guys take damage, im hard stuck on 2-2 because even when i put my 2 highest damage dealers (thorns and laplannd) behind my tankiest defender (vulcan) and THREE healers on vulcan he still just kills her faster than she can be healed all while taking like no damage

[haughty flower]

You understand vulcan cannot be healed, correct?

Did you, y'know, check her trait?

[buoyant pond]

yeah somone else in the other chat told me i somehow managed to gloss over that

[haughty flower]

Also, did you bother to go to the wiki to check it's stats?

Here they are. You'll notice something-800 defense, 0 res.
Do you remember your training? Do you remember what defense and res are?

[rugged lava]

2-2 ? someone stuck at ch 2?

[haughty flower]

Relax. It happens more often than you think.

[willow sun]

that’s normal, you learn through experience after all

makes mistakes while the stakes are low, so when the pressure’s on you don’t fold

[haughty flower]

IS5 ed1 is probably the least stressful of the IS ed1's tbh imo.
Even Phantom is problematic due to how if you're new and don't know how to dps he'll open up paths right past your setup.
IS3 has the lane with just annoying manta rays/crabs and also phase 2 will kill any melee in range if you don't know what you're doing.
IS4.

IS5 is just fremont wandering around then exploding to wis, and the top region covered in the Witch King enemies mostly dies to wis splash.

[willow sun]

eh if you panic you can easily dig yourself an inescapable hole though

but with practice yeah it’s the most straightforwards

[haughty flower]

Mhm.
I still deeply hate IS4 ed1 for being a dual lane stage with a rather scary amount of elite/dangerous enemies coming in on the right side for newbies.

[willow sun]

yeah until you learn to path well and the boss just gets demolished by any decent dps

tbh i’d put is4 ed1 on par in terms of difficulty as is5 ed1, both before and after the learning curve

i can’t say much about is3 cause im still on d8

[haughty flower]

I'd put it higher simply because it's one of the few ed1's wisadel can't essentially solo.

You need other levelled ops to be managing at least the left, and they need help otherwise the bosses global attack will kill them.

[willow sun]

well yeah but that’s more a 2 lane issue, i see what you mean though

[haughty flower]

Also, because the boss has taunt wis is carnally attracted to it and as such might ignore the elites even on the right side.

Which will cause massive issues if your run wasn't good, which it often isn't as a newbie.

[willow sun]

ye it requires patience and planning

whereas you can just brute force beat down every other ed1 boss

actually idk what the is6 ed1 boss is like yet but i don’t plan on spoiling it

[haughty flower]

IS6 ed1 boss already confirmed to be pure ass. I won't say more for respect to spoilers.

[willow sun]

i can’t tell if you mean ass in a good or bad way but im excited now

(don’t tell me)

[haughty flower]

Let's just say the boss has that bakery.

[willow sun]

LMFAO

[void terrace]

Bruh wtf thats broke

[rugged lava]

i cleared ending 1 this IS

is it true i must choose different buff if i want to get to ending 2?

[remote perch]

In a way

All IS has a different method to reach different endings

Mostly getting specific relics

[rugged lava]

relics? you mean collectible?

[remote perch]

Yes

[rugged lava]

what is this dark blue monster that has global attack?

did i do smth that make it choosen?

is this the epoch thing?

[full terrace]

Final Cadence

You chose to spawn it

In the Amiya (Ending 5) Encounter

[rugged lava]

is it bad buff? is it better if i dont choose ending 5 at all?

[south spindle]

It’s the encounter with Amiya and Nymph

Uh well if you don’t wanna play ED5

Don’t grab it

It’s a little tricky but it can be seen as a buff too you get a relic every time it leaks
And btw you can kill it over multiple fights, carries over hp%

[full terrace]

Honestly I dont understand what you meant by "buff"

Does it refer to relic or what

[south spindle]

I think they meant does it have a debuff

[rugged lava]

lets say 'a condition where the game become easier'. so i guess this shit is too had

[south spindle]

And the debuff is the very very tanky mf that you can’t kill in one combat

That you kind of gotta leak

[scarlet mortar]

every other ending is harder than ed1

if you just want to farm exp then no, don't path towards ed5

[full terrace]

Those are relics. Buff generally refers to the type of supportive effect cast by your units midfight.

[scarlet mortar]

(not every relic buffs you, is the idea)

[rugged lava]

are there tricks to not be hit by epoch?

[full terrace]

No

And thats the beauty of IS5 honestly

[modern plover]

Its completely random 👍

But you can override all of them with prosperity epoch (a buff epoch)

[celest bluff]

Catastrophe 🤌

[limpid ore]

at least it's not 3-4 epoch at once

Wait dusk gets an IS module?

[dapper hedge]

No

Garbage

[mossy orchid]

the mod effects arent that horrible but at the same time you are giving up the -8 dp from mod y which results in dealing with the usual 34 dp and higher dp cost on each deployment
so at this point ur off better taking another caster like gg or laptop

[full terrace]

I'm just gonna drop it here in case any newbies are struggling with this anni https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=tEyHsTGe8O8

For link back purpose

[grim hare]

Let's assume I have a deep roster, which critically includes E2 M9 Full Pot Saria. Is sparking Shu worth it? Possibly relevant: I have Hoshiguma and Horn, so I have good Defenders. I have 2 Sui siblings, Ling and Dusk, so a sparked Shu (which would guarantee Yu) would enable Shu's four Sui siblings ability. I also have both Lappland the Decadenza and Goldenglow, which has some synergy with Yu. The likely opportunity cost to sparking Shu is sparking Eyja the Hvit Aska later on. I haven't really borrowed anyone's Shu very much; I've found myself borrowing Eyjaberry a lot. Other notable roster members include Bagpipe, Blaze, Silverash, Mlynar, Thorns, Mudrock, Ch'en, Eyjafjalla (caster), Pozemka, Ifrit, Nymph, Suzuran, Ines, Texas the Omerterosa, Dorothy, Wisadel (I don't actually have Wisadel yet but will be sparking her)

[next wigeon]

Sparking is never worth it in any occasion

[full terrace]

You answered your own question there, if you are using a lot more Eyja than Shu, then you should spark her (Eyja). Both are generally strong lifelines but there are scenarios where Shu teleport could make things so much easier, but you said that you got a full roster for this so the teleport is more of QoL than necessity.

He is a whale, you dont question whale's life choice 😏

His question is more of "should I spark A or B" rather than "should I spark?"

I mean he is sparking regardless so might as well spark the one he is using the most

[somber falcon]

Quick guide to sparking:
do you want the op? Can you afford it?
If either of those is a no, then that's your answer

[full terrace]

I think his question is more of "I want them both (Eyja and Shu), but I can only afford one of them". Personally I would pick Shu over Eyja but thats just me coz I use more Shu than Eyja.
How about this: you try pulling for Yu first, if you got him in like 30~40 pulls, then you can decide the Shu vs Eyja for yourself later on, but if you pulled him in like 150~200 pulls, then you might as well go for 300, spark Shu and forget Eyja.

[void terrace]

Are there any ops who can consistently splitbox enemies they are blocking without redeploying

Idea is an operator who can act as a gate of sorts, pulling enemies onto their tile so a short range mele operator can hide behind ad poke them while still being protected

Also i want to do a funny thing involving Ho'ol and double tornados to make her useful

Does yu do this to enemies he is blocking?

[grim hare]

1. Thank you for your opinion on my question 2) I am not a whale, I am a good saver

[void terrace]

Hi other jay

[grim hare]

Hello cat Jay

or...whatever that is

[full terrace]

You want Ascalon in that case, or anyone who can stall really. The moment your target walks into the tile you want, stall them to emulate splitboxing. As for Yu's S2 I'm not sure if he will splitbox them.

[grim hare]

Do you have some reasoning to back up this assertion?

[full terrace]

Sparking is generally not advised because you are spending 300 pulls on 1 unit (and plenty of his/her pots)

With that 300 pulls, if you divide them to like 5~6 banners

You'll get 5~6 strong units

[vocal leaf]

Yu banner is also especially awful because Blazealter

[full terrace]

So the idea is to get 5~6 strong units over 1 strong unit with plenty pots

[grim hare]

but with a deep roster most of those 5-6 strong units have no value to me

like I have a bunch of 6-stars I didn't mention above that I never use

[full terrace]

And that is exactly why the "no spark" principle does not apply to you

[grim hare]

getting more of those would not be meaningful

ok

[full terrace]

Do what you want with your game really

[vocal leaf]

I saw some people saying that monster will replace eyjalter as your main healer, if there’s no elemental damage, monster seems to bring more utility. But I do use more Eyja than Shu at least for IS5

[next wigeon]

Arf explained it

[next wigeon]

Half False

Mon3tr will replace Eyjaberry because she's more accessible

But for those that have Eyjaberry just use her

[grim hare]

So you agree with Arf that it is worth it to spark if you have a deep roster

[next wigeon]

At that point do whatever

[void terrace]

Was thinking something more sturdy. Or maybe any pushers/pullers thst just just shift blocked enemies just a smidge?

[next wigeon]

If "No Spark" principle doesn't apply to you then you do what you want

For a pure meta perspective then don't spark

[karmic glade]

Yu s2 will splitbox

[full terrace]

Tbh I see Mon3tr as an offensive healer in the same group as Reed, while Eyja as a pure support in the same group as Nightingale.

I mean, I have been saved by the global healing a lot in IS5

[next wigeon]

That depends on Mon3tr Skill

S2 is the healing one

[full terrace]

I know

[next wigeon]

S3 is the True Dmg dps

[full terrace]

Offensive ≠ she is attacking, I mean her buff (aspd) is leaning toward buffing your firepower

[next wigeon]

Mon3tr is Buffer Healing when S2 Active, Offensive healing when S3

[next wigeon]

I see

[full terrace]

While Nightingale and Eyja are more for survivability (Res and Elemental plus Global heal)

[full terrace]

And Reed is applying Arts Fragility so thats offensive buff too

[next wigeon]

I see your point now

I thought offensive = murder

[elder flume]

Flags
Conviction S2

[full terrace]

Yeah but then again you are right about Mon3tr replacing Eyja because of higher hps and her being more accessible

[elder flume]

Ive shilled Conviction since the release for this purpose

[void terrace]

Niceee

[void terrace]

hmmm but for flags the timing is a but messy

Yu and chongyue gonna be fun

Finally he can charge his skill even behind a tank

Ah screw it im going back to my brainless clear squad

Hunters plus global range gang

If only mostimas passive activated while she wasnt deployed

[scarlet mortar]

pullers can't pull enemies into their own tile iirc

[void terrace]

Yeah

Urgh the pain

[scarlet mortar]

i can only think of jess2

[void terrace]

Maybe weedy could push tho

Cannon behind heavy enemies

I mean my current solution is just 30 second fast redeploy skadi

And ulpi can shift in to block for the downtime

[scarlet mortar]

i mean, what're you going for lmao

[void terrace]

A ines and the vanguards stall

Oh its just a testing concept

I wanted to do a funny ho'ol buffed nuke

And if you splitbox an enemy she doubles her tornado damage on them

[scarlet mortar]

the easy way to splitpush has always been FRD jumpscare

[full terrace]

If you are going to deploy pusher at a precise timing to push an enemy to a Defender and splitbox them, you might as well just helidrop that Defender when an enemy is at the tile you want it to be.

[void terrace]

Yeah exactly

[scarlet mortar]

or mud S3 ig

just preproc

[void terrace]

Weeeeeeell

Mud s3 plus ines

Could consistently work

Very few things are bind immune

[full terrace]

It's either stallers like Asca, Nymph, Tragodia or you helidrop/FRDs

[void terrace]

Oh wait nymph can splitbox with a fear right

[scarlet mortar]

gonna be messy

[void terrace]

If she hits from behind

[scarlet mortar]

the enemy won't walk back is the issue there

[void terrace]

Wait dosent the same logic apply to lapdumb then

Lapdumb on the other end of the map

[scarlet mortar]

lapp's fear might be short enough to not mess with things

[void terrace]

To fear them into the blocker

Lemme test

[elder flume]

Leizi2 S1M3 moment

[void terrace]

Holy shit it worked

She fears them just short enough to splitbox consistently

I can finally make ho'ol (somewhat) not shit

Now to reveal the real reason i need this tech

[scarlet mortar]

at the cost of her "support" doing twice her damage anw?

[void terrace]

To make pepe s3 usable

[scarlet mortar]

[void terrace]

One of the biggest ST attacks held back by a one tile range

Now able to be consistently used on a singled out target

Blocked by whatever tank defender you want

[scarlet mortar]

ehhhhhhhh

[void terrace]

Plus as long as she has a boss to hit the aoe will stun and clear trashmobs

Still bad

But midly better than the ho'ol plan HAHHAA

[scarlet mortar]

obscenely impractical considering a helidrop nian does the same thing

and you'll usually find only one boss that tanky in a stage

[void terrace]

True but i run lappdumb inmost sqads anyway

[void terrace]

Steamknight is my main punching bag

[tepid mica]

How can I beat the newest annihilation with these operators?

I wanna be able to do it without support units

[void terrace]

Walter lapdumb and goldenglow is probably the easiest way to cheese any anni

Just take your strongest defenders and guards, wall off the blue box and keep spamming global skills

See something a bit tankier? Hit walter's skill

[scarlet mortar]

you'll probs want to manage the sewage so the critters don't brick the run

[full terrace]

The right question would be: how can you fail the newest annihilation with these operators?

Plenty of formations you can do

But anyway it's mainly your pumps positioning

And just camp the red boxes

[scarlet mortar]

ngl bring ines mlynar wis as failsafes, myrtle for DP and then fuck it we ball the rest

[full terrace]

Or you can just Ling it #strategy message I see you have a fully built Ling there. Bring 11 more units to help if needed.

[tepid mica]

Should I use her S2 or S3?

[full terrace]

S3

[tepid mica]

Oh I just haven’t tried lmao

[signal dew]

I kill them all all the time

he just kills all my characters in 1 hit

[vocal leaf]

not enough healing maybe?

oh no wait, you said they get 1 hit

event is so old, i forgot how it works, i remember borrowing ng

[wintry gulch]

What operators do you have

kyato, mlynar, ascalon, logos, reed alter especially

[void terrace]

If they are getting one shot its probably the dragon tail or the lazer beam

The dragon tail can be baited by mylnar or just deploying a brick last every spawn cycle

As for the beam having a train of operators in a line is one way to do it if you are stretched for healing

I dont remember the healing requirement being exceptionally high though i remember saria plus ptilo was enough for me

[scarlet mortar]

not last, sui has special targeting

[wintry gulch]

kyato because she nukes the boss with s3, mlynar because mlynar, ascalon because mob clearing (slow+dot+aoe), logos because s2 has massive res, reedic because s2 dps and hps is nuts

I think I did it with asca reedic mlynar kyato

Definitely doable with less

[signal dew]

I got Logos and Reed alter from the ones you mentioned.

what is Yu's best skill?

[void terrace]

Damn is yu busted

[void terrace]

Both his second and third skill are very strong

His second skill teleports all mobs around him onto his tile and bulks him up big time

His s3 provides global regeneration if you have 4 or more operators, and creates a long mapwide firewall that buffs your arts attacks across it

It also had the chance to remove enemy projectiles crossing it but its 20% so dont count on it eating a faust bolt or something critical

Depending if you are going for a a burn damage squad or if you just need some tech to teleport a boss into a weird tile

[void terrace]

Yu and global range gang is just busted. Didnt plan anything and just melted the boss through its damage resistance

[sick stream]

same here
for me I stalled the boss till its dead by Yu and LappAlther(very OP together) by placing Mountsain S2 2 blocks right from the boss spawning area and Warfarin S1 2 blocks above and 1 block right of Mountain.

[red cosmos]

I finished the event with only blonde characters, then I cleared the boss with 4 operators (Laptop, Arturia, Ines and Specter alter), then I cleared it with only 3 op (laptop, Arturia, GG)

because her s2 is whack

Real

Yu's s3 is bullshit in its own right

It applies amiyas 1.5% hp regen buff

Globally on top of being an already strong brick skill

[limpid ore]

yes s2 gives ally with highest atk ability to deals 25% of her ATK as necrosis, problem the skill itself doesnt buff her ATK

-# the other 2 skills are just better tbh

[void terrace]

The yu s2 instant splitbox is also pretty cool

Lets short ranged guards like vivi and vina continue poking enemies from behind him even off skill

[limpid ore]

issue with that, that enemies might just maul him to death

[void terrace]

True but whe you run him with shu

And the nian sibling gang

Never minds I beated it!

[glass monolith]

Now make auto for it (Oh wait i confused it with OD-7, look alike to me)

[rigid osprey]

Who should I swap out?

[glass monolith]

Based on what you struggling with. I personally dislike Windlit because his underwhelming kit

[rigid osprey]

I do too, the battery thing is limited and situational and it seems like his kit is centered around it,

[full terrace]

Tbh you are not at the point where you need to concern yourself with teambuilding at the moment, because at E0 most units do the same thing, you'll feel no difference even if you swap them around, but if you really want advice for this, you can use this as reference #strategy message or you can ask around in #help. Also high stars ≠ better units, especially the 5 Stars.

[rigid osprey]

Corroserum is too expensive too and his attack just seems too situational

Maybe I’m wrong tho

[rigid osprey]

Cheers thanks, I’m used to gacha games where the lower star stuff is trash 😆

[glass monolith]

Arknights is more skill based that "just throw latest unit at it". Well of course we have units which uninstall balance of stages which come before them but it demands at least basic degree of understanding

[full terrace]

Yeah no, in Arknights even the oldest units have place in modern stages as long as you know how to utilize them.

[rigid osprey]

So power creep is real but not consuming?

[full terrace]

Yes

It's more skill than stats, it's a good game

[rigid osprey]

I’m enjoying it so far. It’s pretty hard too which most gacha games are not lol

Thanks for the help

[full terrace]

Thats the thing, since the game is skill-based, it can be hard if you are not familiar with the mechanics and the inner workings.

[glass monolith]

I recall when i started this game and entire physical/arts just flew right over me. So i tried to use unit with DEF on enemy doing Arts damage and got salty from it dying in 2 hits

[rigid osprey]

I feel like there is a lot to learn. The game is pretty complicated ngl

Like I don’t even know what’s going on in the base… lol 😆

[vocal leaf]

check #r-i-i-c for base guide

[glass monolith]

Depends on how far you into game likely "nothing"/"almost nothing" But when you build it up it is powerful source of daily EXP and LMD (making stages which give them as reward obsolete as you will be hunting for materials base don't provide instead)

Damn why this Reminiscence enemy in event is so healthy

[steel prairie]

how is Lins new mod ???

[lofty stag]

Ass

[eager tapir]

Why doesnt thorns attack inherit the burn dmg from yu here?

[lofty stag]

alchemist skill damage is unsourced

hence thornstar doesnt work

as it does not deem the s2 dmg to be from anyone

even if it is arts

[eager tapir]

oh rip

[glass monolith]

And auto is done. Now hibernate till 24th

[full terrace]

I farm alloys 😏

[vocal leaf]

3OP red haired trust farm and none of them are yu 🥹

[wintry gulch]

yet another event boss that gets stomped by ulpi gladiia

[rugged lava]

all the last 3 stages spend 21 sanity, but is it true that only the boss stage that is the most efficient for farming drop? or they r just the same?

[cedar hound]

No

[wintry gulch]

farm whichever mat you need the most

[cedar hound]

Salt is lowest, and less demand than device

[rugged lava]

integrated device is better to buy using green certificate though?

[cedar hound]

How much can you buy it using greencert?

[rugged lava]

like 10+ a month

[cedar hound]

How much can you farm device in event?

[limpid ore]

100

[cedar hound]

That should answer itself

[limpid ore]

[cedar hound]

You can get 10 in a day vs 10 in a month

[rugged lava]

then, what is best to buy with green cert

[elder flume]

All of tier 1

Headhunt tickets

Recruits

Then i just save for next month

If you need more mats sure

As long as you can satisfy the monthly cycle

15 is pretty bad for a month when you need like 300-400 total for the ops you might use

[rugged lava]

saving? what is it you want to buy in tier 2?

[elder flume]

Headhunt n recruit

[rugged lava]

not material?

i thought it is priority

[elder flume]

You can get mats from events like these

So its slightly redundant

It gets worse when you dont actively pull banners

Since only recruit will carry your green cert

[dapper hedge]

If youre new, consider buying these 2 if you have green certs to spare, the rest has plenty other places you can get from

[jovial nest]

not bad. i like the mechanic is like a tug of war

with a huge payoff

[rapid junco]

Mushrooms gatekeep Is unreal
