One is initiator other is leecher, tho Yu already fine with generic arts dps. There are plenty of them

do we have an operator that can one shot patriot?

S2 is techically 2 hit 1 is 500% physical 1 is 500% arts but like same frame or something

how much hp does patriot have here?

30k i think? He isn't big on HP, he just has fuck ton of defensive stats

that still counts for me, the type of attack that is like 1 frame or something, doesn’t matter if in that single attack there’s “multiple” hits

wicked minnow
#

surely there's a firewatch oneshot somewhere

glass monolith
#

Define kind of one-shot we talk about because Eben archetype is not one-shot, pretty sure stored attacks have frame delay from main one as well HazeSmug

but it's no big deal

you have aak and warf to remove

hmm i prefer to borrow stainless, for more atk buff

spark sinew

at this point use chen2 s3

also no, ros doesn't work 🫡

Its not tied to is mod.

maiden hound

is module just bump it to -400

The effect turn to adjacent instead of blocking too

spark sinew

you won't really block patriot phase1 for long

IS module bump it on special summon during IS which is not happeing in Patriot boss fight BECAUSE IT IS NOT IS

but yeah i was thinking on deploy aura (which doesn't work)

Btw have they fixed "Carry over RA into normal stages" bug? HellaKek

Well theres Fremont ig

But thats been there since before Yu no

here she did it

#

that is modless stainless, do they increase the device buff?

glass monolith
#

Nope his module don't buff effect of devices

One makes him regain device when device next to him dies more often... Is he having 1 module or 2?

# jaunty wedge I just started. Which characters should be on the team?

You just started, teambuilding is not your biggest concern at the moment. Most units at E0 have more or less the same performance, so even if you swap let's say, Amiya with Steward you'd feel no difference when both are at E0, so you can ignore this for now. As for the composition, the game will guide you as you clear the tutorial stages, like doing TR-1 gives you Hibiscus (a Medic), and doing TR-8 gives you Kroos (a Sniper), just draft them as the game told you so and you will have a balanced team with Snipers, Casters, Medics, Defenders, Vanguards, Supporter, and even Shifter Specialist. Your focus right now should be finishing Chapter 0 and 1, then grab Tequila from Dossoles Holiday and spend your E2 Voucher on him. For more general gameplay questions like this, ask in #help

You forget how slow flagbearers alone can be sometimes

yeah is close, ulpi is just better than monster because he can’t die, while monster ended up dying, that’s fine, but if you want something to block the frog too ulpi is better

Arknights players are not well-known for updating their support units

glass monolith
#

If only we had some kind of seasonal event which rewards players with extra flex points for being friend supported

vocal leaf
#

but you could be right guide makers also prefer to use old units for stuff like anni, so classics like blaze and thorns are usually there, but that type guide is meant for older players, for newer players this shouldn’t be a thing and somehow it is

#

i bet eckogen didn’t even test ulpi and just went straight up for kal, it’s like making a guide for new player in 2023 or something HellaKek

smoky halo
#

i think they would still want to use a popular operator so that it wont be hard to find in support unit

#

yeah it could be that he didnt test ulpian too

#

i thought u meant hoe when u said crusher

it’s ulpi, it’s not hard to find tho, he’s like the wisadel/logos of guards

if this was a heavy defender how should I deal with it? I tried using a support for slowing down but I can't get any operator to attack it while it's slowed down and on the way to the blue area because of the range

#

One thing game expects you F around and Find out - You can place blocks ANYWHERE as long as there is valid path from red box to blue box

shell vessel
glass monolith
#

Directly below blue box, without cuttin off red path

honest jacinth
#

it'll change their path

#

if they have no path at all (or if you place it on top of them) then they will destroy your block

shell vessel
#

I thought we were only allowed to place blocks in the two areas marked by arrows.. okay now I can beat this, thanks

honest jacinth

sometimes they even put a marker in a spot where you shouldn't place a block

CeobeConfused any tips how to beat last stage on the new SSS....

full terrace
#

I'm assuming it's the Gramaphone boss? You stack Snipers Tactical Equipment 5 times, and deploy your hardest+fastest hitting dps unit on the stack

#

And have this unit camp the Gramaphone

#

If you have Ulpi+Gladiia, you can also buy time by having them stall the boss while you work on that unit

#

Also try to spawn the boss quickly

#

If you take too long, most likely it will enter Danger Level 20

#

And that thing is a brick wall when it enters DL20

The recommended level is super... cosmetic

#

although it shouldn't be hard, the recommendations usually assume you're playing with closed eyes and make the level reccs inflated (especially easy to see in story)

#

Nah not rly a dps check, if you meant the big guy you can just use the stove to kill them

#

Fucking hell i shouldve checked medal first CeobeConfused

#

The hell is ex2

honest jacinth
#

It definitely feels like a DPS check on the like 10 small things

#

these

#

like there's so many of them

#

and they spawn so early

#

and you only start with 10 DP and also need to block the other sapidity spawner things

#

I mean I can also just use the "wisadel support = free win" button xd but yeah

#

even eyjfallah struggles to clear them very hard at E1 lv50

elder flume

Popukar Midnight Lava is enough

azure roost
honest jacinth
#

I don't have them E1 maxed tho, they're like 20 levels off max or something

#

but I doubt that would change a lot, idk, maybe it would

#

I still couldn't get lava out and the healer needs to go out, by the time lava would've been placed I'm pretty sure they would already start leaking past block #

#

so I'm pretty sure it is a DPS (per DP) check

#

I mean it's fine if the stage is for E2, I just wasn't expecting it

#

since usually the level labels are overestimated, not underestimated :p

spark sinew
#

i mean you're already saying that yiu don't even have 3* e1 max, why jump to "this stage needs e2s"

elder flume
#

Not having them maxed is a pretty substantial difference

Plus thered holes on the map
I wont be using my shifters because theyre E2

Hi all am new to the game, started a few days ago and was wondering should I pull another lappland to increase potential or should i pull another 5*?

I got lappland initially and E2 her because she was the recommended starter 5* to go for because of her talent and arts damage skill

Very few characters have amazing upgrades with potentials

umbral dagger
scarlet mortar
#

the only reason you want pots for anyone as a general player is to cash them out as certs once the op is at max pot

vast glen
#

Also, who should I prioritise my materials for to level up? I'm kind of overwhelmed from all the content

umbral dagger
#

Mind you, Medics become more optional the longer you play, but all the other options are either not very useful (Cliffheart, Lapp Pot) or niche (Specter)

vast glen
#

So I have no clue who I should push for upgrades to keep in my lineup

umbral dagger
vast glen
#

Is there like a tier list or beginner guide to which operator is good at what? There are way too many for me to keep track 😵‍💫

umbral dagger
#

However, I wouldn't dump all your resources into him. I'd do something like

Thorns > Click/Amiya > Kroos/Jessica > Saria > Ptilopsis

Click and Amiya will stay good, and Kroos (who you may not have yet) and Jessica are serviceable Snipers until you get better ones.

Defenders and Medics are usually lower priority because damage is typically king

vast glen
#

is lappland not worth the effort? or is it because she's already at E2 so i don't have to continue upgrade her

umbral dagger
#

You typically want a squad of equally powerful unitd than a squad with one or two high level units with a lot of under-leveled units

#

As for a tier list...I'm not really aware of any great ones. The best I could recommend is TacticalBreakfast's mastery priority guide because it will tell you how good a lot of skills are, and I think he has generally good analysis.

elder flume
#

just take it slow really

#

One other thing you can lean on is the Arknights Wiki.gg site. It has info for most everything, so you can look up specifics for every operator there, from how their skills work at each level to their upgrade costs.

If anyone tries to do this guide without having logos and shu you can still do it by replacing logos with lapper (atleast e2 lv60 mod2, barely meets the 1500 hp threshold) and replace shu with e1 max saria s2 and e2 gummi s1 behind mlynar.
Once you have these ops you need to bring chars who can stall enemies before they can reach mlynar/shu positions (especially fire chalice and frogs) (defenders, kafka, jaye, fast redeploys)

i expected more from "hyped" thingy that people in cn had brainrot about

slapping 3 good ops is just better and works with any enemy spawn config

those 3 ops are usually logos, lappalt and gg, they’re good, adding yu give them extra power, it’s not like you’re bringing blazealter

south spindle

uh

what is logos doing there

its yu lapp2 gg

and yu is a mild damage boost but rather just use him S2

and if you just wanna clear faster don't even bother with Goldenglow damage is less than most meta

i mean they’re good regardless, you’re not “wasting” a slot

if you want to clear things smoothly easily as possible you bring the best of the best

so at that standard yes Yu S3 is a waste of a slot

i knew this is gonna be a point of contention but this is such an insane misconception that i might as well engage

#

idt running 1 vanguard in blind stages that you just want to overpower and be done with is a thing that you should do

squad slots are "cheap" enough (due to deployment slot limit) that running "better" shit like lappalter over mumu would lose you more map than lapp would ever win

imagine someone have to spark 300 for texas or mumu? would you rather tell them to spark mumu over texas (assuming they have everything else)

cost is irrelevant in discussions about power of the units themselves, but i see what you're alluding to

both are bad in terms of the fitting into the comp if you want to spark

just run a flag over mumu

would you be happier

in terms of squad cohesiveness and versatility idt there are better duo vang options, to be frank

is texalter a better unit in vacuum? sure, world isn't ready for this convo

it doesn’t matter tbh, mumu/spalter will be out for exialt/tragodia
