strategy

[sweet marlin]

so you think instead of borrowing gladia i should borrow ulpianus to take care of the top side until the altar keeper brings the storm up, right?

[pearl compass]

Yeah, what I did say earlier is for 620

Didn't followed you need just Quartz skin.

[sweet marlin]

alright i'll try that thanks

does ulpi need masteries?

[full terrace]

There are 4 things you need to pay attention to: from the left are 3 Chimeras, 1+1+2 Bulwarks. From the right are 2 Altar Keepers, 2 Sudarams

Ulpi can handle all the Chimeras

Now all thats left to do for the left side is to throw bodies at the Bulwarks

To keep them inside the storm

And let the storm kill them

As for the right side, the 2 Altar Keepers need a stall from ranged units, so someone like Podenco (Slow) and Click (Stun)

If you have the damage then just kill them

Sudarams you can leak

[sweet marlin]

have neither but lets see what i can do anyway xD

[full terrace]

Do not let the Altar Keeper move the Beacon, you need to kill em

[pearl compass]

Try to find E2-90 S2M3, better if module 3 Lv presents.

[pearl compass]

Typhon might help, tho.

Need help with module mission

My team squad used

The rest of my ops #help message

[full terrace]

If you have something to ask, I'm here

[rich plover]

"Low-end"

Ptliopsis

[full terrace]

There is a full explanation in the comment section

[full terrace]

You have the Ptilopsis what are you complaining about?

[rich plover]

Nah nah just find it funny is all

Right, Totter's role can be replaced with someone else that can kill the Sudarams yea?

[full terrace]

Idk, it's a funny clear, try some other

I recommend KyoStinV

[rich plover]

Got it

Thanks again

[spark valley]

I heard this stage is very scary. Is there anything I should keep in mind before attempting it?

[fiery carbon]

Arf what should I do btw

[dapper hedge]

Caster

[fiery carbon]

KyostinV the almighty prophet

[dapper hedge]

Theres 2 pompeii and bunch of explosive slugs

[pearl compass]

Two Pompeiis

[dapper hedge]

Oh wait its its senior tag try for ely vg+support ig, *5 dont matter mcuh

[fiery carbon]

Sure

[spark valley]

never fought pompeii before I think. Is it bad if he reaches my ops or should I try and nuke him as quickly as possible

[maiden hound]

just murk him at range since he spits fire (annoying)

[pearl compass]

The second.

Kill him ASAP or you'll lose all of your ops there.

Fast.

[glass monolith]

RA1 and IS3 Pompeii were best. RA1 would kill quest NPC 5 second into stage. IS3 Pompeii deny ending 2 attempts

[spark valley]

yikes alright

[pearl compass]

And yeah, spiders has the shortcut on the top left.

And you cannot place a cube there.

WTF that madman did this map and didn't placed anything there.

[full terrace]

I would take Support for a chance of Ptilopsis/Warfarin/Elysium

[glass monolith]

He attacks multiple targets in range (thankfully lack of targets don't make him multihit, I think) and apply DoT. If blocked he does burst explosions, which can be canceled out if he got pushed (One way I recall was using Gladiia S1) , but that strat is more old CC relevant, doubt you doing anything demanding such measures

[wispy ledge]

cc is meant for really lategame players with tons of 6* tbf

[rich plover]

My Matterhorn and Ptlio can't stall the Bulwark long enough

[maiden hound]

throw another healer

[rich plover]

Wait no, I see the issue, I need to have Arturia trigger Necrosis on the first Bulwark

[spark valley]

I could actually try pushing him into a hole since I have weedy

[glass monolith]

Well that's one way to solve your troubles. What stage in question anyways?

[maiden hound]

ccb3 main map arf's mod mats guide

[full terrace]

And this is the reason why the "Ptilopsis". Because look, if the Low-End strat calls for 13 slots, and something like this happens to you, you have to retry and force things to work to fit the strat and I disagree with this idea, strat is suppose to fit you, it's working for you not the other way around. I use Ptilopsis so that you have 5 open slots, so make good use of those slots and draft more healers like the person below you told you to.

[spark valley]

water and fire union emergency op

[full terrace]

As for the Matterhorn, his job is just to stall until the storm can hit the Bulwark

If your Matterhorn dies because of the storm then that means it's also hitting the Bulwark

[glass monolith]

While I enjoy the opportunity to hole half of IS3, without set up Ange relics etc it is too much effort for my likes

[full terrace]

Thats perfect then, you just need to throw bodies and keep the Bulwark inside the storm a little bit longer

[rich plover]

Got it

[spark valley]

oh I also got angelina. Only problem is my weedy has concentration disorder

[rich plover]

Managed to do it

Now I can just forget about CC for now

Nvm, just realized I'm missing MIA

It's easier right?

[full terrace]

There is also an MIA video in my playlist if you need a visual reference, and yes it's significantly easier

[twin jacinth]

13-5 is going to give me an actual aneurysm

i've tried a bunch of different ways, even trying to throw wisadel at it and no dice so far

[twin jacinth]

got it

[manic oasis]

How do I deal with the sword dude from the event? I usually just use Wisadel but I'm doing the no sniper node

He just one taps any of my guys

[acoustic slate]

From far away or close

[manic oasis]

Far

[acoustic slate]

They have global range against your ops in the storm

[manic oasis]

No one is in the storm tho

They're like near the red I guess

[acoustic slate]

This includes tiles and chimera aura

[manic oasis]

Hmmm

I did have Ines in a red tile and Ulp guarding Chimera

[acoustic slate]

It will even attack chilchuck through his talent

[manic oasis]

Ok then what's the strat I have like most meta ops I've been at this for a while now

Maybe Lap S3

[vocal leaf]

you can push him with weedy, to leave him out of range

[manic oasis]

He's on red tiles tho

Oh like on high ground? I don't use Weedy I forget she can do that

[acoustic slate]

You just… don’t have ops in the storm

Idk what to tell you, I didn’t try group ops or anything

[vocal leaf]

yeah are you stalling with ulpi?

[manic oasis]

I did it kinda in a panic cause my strong DPS are snipers

And my casters kept dying

Maybe I could just use Degen for that instead and have an arts dealer or maybe Monster with true damage for the armors

[vocal leaf]

why are your casters dying?

this is a must in blue box strat, but it’s done with second sudaram, are you having problems with the first one?

[vocal leaf]

there’s a clear using only snipers, what risk are you doing?

[dark mantle]

there's a 600 clear with phantom solo

[eager turtle]

any strategy for these missions? i don't have any brains left to do it...

[narrow pendant]

Yt it

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not really punishing tbh, still storm carry

[balmy jolt]

Okay wait I don't get this, does the Chimaera storm tick faster than every 1 second? Because Ptil definitely was not healing in between ticks even at S2 M3

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah 0.5s

[balmy jolt]

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[scarlet fulcrum]

The reason ulpianus love it

[balmy jolt]

I'm almost so angry that I would update the wiki

[teal moon]

check Arfgoat guides https://www.youtube.com/@Arflanyr

[eager turtle]

i'll try, i'm having a hard time on the module one...

[teal moon]

the one mad by Arf was pretty good, checked it and it should be easily replicable

[manic oasis]

Sorry we were installing a new router today and that took my entire attention. It's the no Guards and no Tanks risk

The first one

[rapid junco]

@scarlet fulcrum
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=sPdUqkz1kVw&si=AIccG8PuEj1GkuoA

[balmy jolt]

Okay actually but if it's .5 ticks why does Ptil sometimes not heal through it with Sora buff during S2 M3, because that should be .8 interval with 800 attack

[full terrace]

What are you typing Shileds

[wicked minnow]

hiiii

i dont remember

goldfish memory

i think it was by mistake

also arf how much did you use eblana in your 0 investment clears and do you think she might be a good borrow for people?

[full terrace]

I havent been using her she is not released yet 😅
As for the "good borrow" I'm still not sure but from the looks of it she will be really good at handling rush stages in 0 investment clears because her DP cost (19) is lower than Ling (10+18 DP). As for Low-End clears I'm pretty sure things wont change much with her around because in Low-End borrow, the borrowed unit must have big enough dps to solo carry everything, so it's unlikely Wisadel and Ulpianus are getting replaced soon.

[wicked minnow]

oh right she isnt released yet. im a bit sleep deprived as you can tell

just the thought of some dps + good ground presence is what im thinking about

i feel like she can replace ulpianus but that depends on the stage ig

[serene hornet]

[manic oasis]

How do you beat the -150% HP Atk OPs Enemy +150% HP map

kinda easy stage

most of the chapter is

the boss fight for 13-21 was a little annoying so i'd welcome something easier lol

[still vessel]

yeah ch14 is sunshine and rainbows compared to previous chapters

[acoustic slate]

Boss kinda hard tho, just bc it expects you to play a bit different, but you will get there in time 🧘‍♂️

[twin jacinth]

i love how the stage is hinting that i should use the altar to pull the storm and kill the shield dudes.. instead i just bruteforced it with typhoon and logos lol

[obtuse sphinx]

Is burn module on Ifrit necessary for max risk?

Or her original module is enough

[south spindle]

I wouldn’t think so it doesn’t affect her res shred
Surely a wee bit of ifrit damage isn’t life or death

[obtuse sphinx]

Burn itself is res shred

[south spindle]

If it procs
I’m not 100% sure if it does

But I think by the time it would the targets already dead to ceobe

[south spindle]

Yeap I just saw a few clears yeah ifrit can proc burn only on the guys standing still at the top initially

But on demand for the later chimeras ceobe can just kill before the burn procs

[narrow pendant]

It does

[dark mantle]

ya it does

[south spindle]

but like on any chimeras after the first group?

i guess if you stall one hard enough but i would think its just dead by then anyways

but few frames make a difference too often

[narrow pendant]

I mean, it procs even on the first chimera that comes

[eager turtle]

can't unlock this, tried many times, its super late already, anyone knows what to do?

[narrow pendant]

Not just the one standing

[south spindle]

the clears i saw it was dead bt the time burn proced

maybe going off memory is bad when im known dementiaist

[narrow pendant]

Okay grandpa, lets get u to bed

Its pretty whatever anyway now

Last 7 hours and 30 minutes

@narrow pendant also

i finally did max

fuck this cc bruh

I settled for 900

Gonna try 920 at least with a bit of a modified strat

If not then whateber, 900 is fine

[dark mantle]

settled with kafka strat

less bullshit to do the better

[narrow pendant]

Thats bluebox strat right

[dark mantle]

ya

[narrow pendant]

Its butt clenching for me

[dark mantle]

i died at 43/45 earlier cuz no dp for logos

[pearl compass]

Ehm... select the left side of it?
Because it has to be activated to make it more forward to the right?

[ashen loom]

random question, but is there a site where you can go to look up what operators are allowed or disallowed in a niche?
more specifically, having a discussion with a friend and we're 99.9% sure the answer is no, but they were curious if Ash and Ela were allowed in Feline only because of their skins

[narrow pendant]

Well, no
Feline only doesnt included skins, just actual race

Afaik thats every "x race only"

[ashen loom]

yep, that's the thought. wanted to ask on that 0.1% chance it's different for collab ops in some way (never know, sometimes something is allowed bc that's just what the first person to popularize a niche did)

[vital arrow]

theres no "official nicheknights guidebook" if thats what youre asking

youre free to add ash and ela if you consider them "cats" but dont expect everyone to also agree

[pearl compass]

I'm allow it.

If skin ofc.

How come in the guide I watched, the spinning tops from inceptiom things died to the laser monster but in my run it just goes right through them?

[glass monolith]

They can hold up to 3 max and need to fire Lazor (Or you know if you good and retreat at right timing fire nothing) to free up space

[vocal leaf]

did you use the same bait? maybe you retreated too late? they target the last deployed operator

[glass monolith]

He talks about spinning tops not dying to being consumed so latest deployed shit not applying

oh i thought the laser was the thing going through

[jovial nest]

Does Yu's S2 teleport enemies through walls?

[unkempt lintel]

no way

is this chat for sharing songs now???

🥹

[unkempt lintel]

as long as theres a path for enemies to get that opposite wall, yeh

[rapid junco]

i might simp too hard, this not even uru album

[jovial nest]

so as long as where you teleport them to can lead back to where they used to be?

[unkempt lintel]

although if said walls have stairs between em to have access for enemies, it doesn't work

[jovial nest]

ok as long as there's a non-transition walking back to original location

[rapid junco]

[unkempt lintel]

basically yeh

iirc the boss stage in jess cat event the best one to test this one, if ur curious

[jovial nest]

no i just saw someone do it against Patriot

i just needed proof of exceptions because someone told me you can't teleport through walls

[unkempt lintel]

should be the case with the stairs yeh....

[jovial nest]

technically did this type of tele

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can try on ch13 boss or miniboss, they cant iirc. Or ed2 is5 boss

[jovial nest]

if you're talking about Theresis

.....yeah that's a lot of IFs

[jovial nest]

Yu's S2 doesn't work? but Shu's S3 can....

[unkempt lintel]

boss have access like that, so should work yeh

oh w8 is that the new update in cn??? like story stages have more risk now????

[jovial nest]

i think it's specific ones only

not every one has risks

[unkempt lintel]

yeh mb

[scarlet fulcrum]

Smt like CC playground

[unkempt lintel]

afaik it is specific only like their prev announcement

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeaa already stated

[unkempt lintel]

but......hopefull it would be nice one

[jovial nest]

the thing is, the video is technically doing what I want to do with my future Premade 2 squad

[unkempt lintel]

not limited time???

[jovial nest]

constant stalls and relocations

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its perma iirc

[jovial nest]

Shu, Yu, Geexu to double up on Yu and Shu, Tragodia. And then the ones not included in the video which is the triple -MSPD AoE ops

[haughty wave]

Getting absolutely filtered by 3-8. Is my strategy wrong or are my levels too low? Can only get Skull to like 1/4 HP with full DPS output before getting all of my units dropped off the map

[glass monolith]

3-8 is skullshatter_2?

[haughty wave]

the ||misha|| funny

[celest bluff]

low

[haughty wave]

feels like it's mandatory to borrow a support for this one but it seems counteruintuitive for the main story to have this sharp of a jump

I even cleared stage 5 of some mats

[glass monolith]

I would have some trouble focusing drones down (I don't recall who Firewatch targets with her "Lowest DEF first" compared to Kroos "Drones first"), for Skullshatter i prefer avoiding blocking her on first loop by deploying something for her to shoot at away from "In front of blue box" stuff, then by time she tries to blue box everything else is dead and i just gang up

[haughty wave]

what's blue box

[haughty flower]

It's a knowledge check. A few near-max 3 stars and a few 2 stars if needed can clear it.

It's the first fight where you actively need to understand boss mechanics.

[glass monolith]

Wait how you calling place you defending on stages?

[haughty wave]

Oh the DEF runes?

[glass monolith]

BRO THE EXIT

[haughty wave]

oh.

didn't consider a thing consisting only of edges and no faces to be a "box" semantically sorry

[glass monolith]

Also def runes kinda bait because boss melee damage is x4 (or to be correct, her ranged attack is 1/4th ATK_scale)

[haughty wave]

yeah it is bait

i tried them and she just rips through those as they're right in front of her

actual ragebait

[glass monolith]

Stage literally made me join discord and probably guide

[haughty wave]

i did try the bait strategy actually, i guess need to refine my order for it better

maybe i'm stubborn but I don't want to borrow a support for this one, surely it has to be doable

[glass monolith]

Have you obtained Gravel via recruitment by chance? She is both cheap and fast to redeploy, and with first promotion she gets second skill making her extra durable for a short time on deploy

[haughty wave]

i guess it wouldn't be a gacha game if it didn't force you to consider buying upgrades at some point

[haughty flower]

Try 12F

50% dodge rate to physical attacks. Deploy him last, have a healer on him

[haughty wave]

in terms of fast redeploys i have cyberpunk dev and gravel at p4

both unleveled, both never tried actually

[glass monolith]

Gravel is VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY handy

[haughty flower]

Eh?

[haughty wave]

oh really. i saw him have no skill and just completely disregarded in favor of lava lmaoo

[haughty flower]

Talents make or break operators

[haughty wave]

yeah it just says "dodge rate up", didn't make sense for a caster when I looked at him so I promptly forgot

that actually sounds pretty OP for this scenario

[glass monolith]

Haven't heard of this emergency solution to physical damage issue since 7-18

[haughty wave]

that explosion is considered phys, huh?

[haughty flower]

There's 2 primary 3* and below strategies I usually see, Melantha + bait/tank or play into gimmick

In this case, 12F is a case of playing into the gimmick.

[glass monolith]

Well it is cluster grenade or something i don't recall. You can usually check enemy info for their damage types. Which is usually first glance to understand all

[haughty flower]

Because skully shoots twice during ranged attacks 12F usually doesn't die.

[glass monolith]

Unless we talk about "Melee Ranged Arts Physical" Rosmontis as boss of one off event

[haughty wave]

okay so now i need to spend a bunch of le money dollars on upgrading

time to send x12 autodeploys to CE-4 with all that sanity they just gave after the update

[glass monolith]

Usually people try to avoid doing EXP/LMD stages after getting base production. Base can produce LMD/EXP, Base can't produce material. And man one need material for everything

[haughty wave]

i have 4/5 tradings and it's still not enough

i mean i guess i could just wait

[vocal leaf]

yeah wait, sanity wise is better to never farm lmd/exp and rather farm chips and red certs

[glass monolith]

4/5? Did you not build enough factories with gold bars to submit trades?

[haughty wave]

one downside that I see right now with progression, you can't gain knowledge of which ops to level and how they behave on the battlefield and whether they will be useful to you or not without leveling them and testing

if there was a test area it'd be nice...

[vocal leaf]

events give you a ton of lmd and exp, be sure to get that every time

[haughty wave]

3 L2 factories rn

i have surplus gold atm from various rewards and shop

[glass monolith]

Huh strange i think i never did real 3-8 clear video. Someone command seal summon Arf.
Found this clip of me baiting ranged attacks on Ansel in middle #strategy message

[haughty wave]

using healer as a tank

based

reminds me of old days of WoW rejuv druids solo tanking with dot heals

[glass monolith]

First you tank long enough to kill. Then you kill before you need to tank. Then somehow it loops around and you need to tank again. AK cycle

[haughty wave]

usual tower defense was always "never tank, aoe slow and aoe glass cannon everything"

in AK they somehow made it way more varied, unit limits as well

[vocal leaf]

wait to meet kalsit and monster

[tall sierra]

The boss is pretty annoying abit

Stun and then cover the deployable tile with some trash that explode when break

[haughty wave]

lmao. i don't have nearly enough dps

dropped all my shit on him and he still walked away with like 1/5 health

guess gotta level some more

[tall sierra]

Boss take less dmg when on fire

[haughty wave]

maybe i can just let him walk away for the first cycle

let's try that

[glass monolith]

i offered it right away, ignore first cycle. Also your operators won't target her as much because she is not "closest" to blue box - our operators respect enemy right to stroll in park

[haughty wave]

no they don't target her because they know it's misha

#lore reason

[glass monolith]

Lore is ||they find out that fact in autopsy||

[haughty wave]

yeah i couldn't before, because he would just steamroll my decoys

12F hardcarries this

[glass monolith]

The more she attacks (middle bait i shown for example) the "longer" she takes to arrive, more time you have to clean up everything that is not misha

[haughty wave]

their fault for trying to solve violence with more violence

reunion's heart is in the right place but the way they go about it is le stupid

[glass monolith]

It was reasonable amount of self defense we are just pharmacy company

[haughty wave]

don't mess with big pharma

[foggy berry]

is there like a build guide for teams? because i havent played in ages and im seriously lost on who to invest in and whos good and all that

[glass monolith]

i called "teambuilding" command in #bot-spam . Tldr: Some of everything, prioritizing more universal stuff to start off. Then based on what operators you have focus on strong units ( #help loves questions about which 6*\5* to build among ones you own) and eventually you might get grasp on it

[foggy berry]

oooo okay okay tysm! its just like i think event characters or stuff ive gathered and i am LOST

[vocal leaf]

who used SA in CC?

[glass monolith]

#help is more active than this chat so it is easier to gather multiple opinions on operators you could focus on (Because every playing is based toward something ). Also don't fear to question why those specific operators are good, might tip you at power of their talents/skills/usages

[glass monolith]

Gnosis peacing out because failed lazer bait

[narrow pendant]

I saw guards only 720

So

[haughty wave]

this rendition reminds me of a dream i had after playing a whole day of arknights
in it it was possible to go into 3d first-person mode of an operator and juke enemies to fall off roofs by standing in front of them and then dodging so they fall due to momentum

[glass monolith]

One where Pepe bonks "don't leak this one" chimera to half death?

[vocal leaf]

i mean but not in the classic top kill comp

[foggy berry]

ooooo i see tysm!! i will definitely question alot

[round prawn]

guys, my main squad is like this rn, should i change platinum for this new sniper? Brigid

[haughty flower]

You should wait for the Exu2 event and replace platinum with either of the two new snipers then.

[narrow pendant]

[round prawn]

ill do it, but this banner will come in like 2-3 months?

so until there, i was thinking about this 2

[glass monolith]

uh... More like 6 weeks. Rough estimate on fingers so probably missing mark

[narrow pendant]

November is not 6 weeks away

[glass monolith]

2 weeks Eblana and me trying not to laugh my ass off because that sound alike Russian slur, 2 weeks M3, touching grass unspecified amount of time Boom. Why we in Laterano?

[elder flume]

Dead week erasure noway

[glass monolith]

Damn EA-ST-1 (east lol) gave me jumpscare because i assumed it will be all voiced lore now

[pearl compass]

Nu ti i eblan.

[glad fractal]

are those killable by Aak?

[pearl compass]

No.

No one can.

[glass monolith]

Even if he could target them 10000 > 7500

[glad fractal]

sad.

[timid cave]

I gotta get many operators to elite 1 at least just so that was I can pass the reunion arc of the story

[haughty wave]

i passed it with 10hp left on skullshatter and it escaping

good ending?

will come back later with more dps i guess...

it took such careful juggling of his hp, had to remove kroos almost immediately after killing last drone, else the hp would drop below half before he reaches the final gank effort

[haughty wave]

get rekt

this game does NOT play around

i hope Endfield maintains this level of skill issue checks

appreciate the help!

[glass monolith]

I doubt Endfield gonna fit skill issue check type of game, impossible to balance genre.

[lime mural]

did I miss something with the tree enemies in the event?
Even though they have C Res I can’t seem to deal meaningful damage to them.

[glass monolith]

Are they having large HP by any chance? Arts damage is slower to produce big numbers compared to physical.

[lime mural]

yeah they have high hp
that’s probably the problem

[fathom gull]

bruh these trees are kicking my ass wtf

[torpid prawn]

Ifrit lane completely counters the elite enemy
EA-6

[dark violet]

day 0 of dorothy mines abusing event mechanics

[dusk quest]

Sad when a 4 star is straight up better than 5 star options (I'm sorry Nightmare I'll find some use for you eventually )

[jovial nest]

do these retroactively update for any new T3? Even the newest ones that will appear in Ch15?

[vocal leaf]

ray hunting dragon

i just realized is better to deploy ulpi far away from the snipers in the bottom lane

[haughty flower]

You can also just put someone ie thorns so that the bot lane is always getting a visual lock.

The mobs down there are all pretty squishy so long as someone has vision on them.

[vocal leaf]

yeah, i was trying to use someone with atk higher than ray, forgot about thorns

[haughty flower]

Skillish

Anyways Ulpi and Reedic and Gladiia in bot lane can make quick work of phase 1. Use Reedic s3 to ensure all the fire thingies go away and she's self-sufficient with her healing.
Phase 2 was more random bullshit go after letting Ulpi bait the dragon til it passes the bushes. I used Mylnar. You can honestly use anyone good at DPS for this bit, given some setup.

[rose patrol]

anti lappter event

[maiden hound]

she was never good anyway

[jovial nest]

the only anti-Lapptop in my eyes are those with a never-dying gimmick unit that can be targeted by operators

like the cyclone bait in Ch14

[lilac steppe]

I like the Ash Creation and theme of this event... so wicked

[jovial nest]

oh now i get you....

the attack range border made by the thickets

it's acting like a bonafide NL darkness mechanic (which is a counter to global units)

[remote perch]

The event really counter Lappalter cuz Trinket blocks everything from the otherside

Even putting another unit beside the enemy doesn't fix it

[jovial nest]

yeah unlike light mechanics

where light vision can be shared to remove invisibility

thickets just kill attack range in a very direct way

it acts really like "i can never see the enemy through this" even if someone spots for them

[jovial nest]

wth is this?

[haughty flower]

Bro did not reach stage 7

That, or bro doesn't read enemy descriptions

[lofty stag]

Soo just 95% of en ak players

[jovial nest]

no i didn't get to stage 7 yet

i was farming grindstones for a while

although it's been a while since we've had medals tied to non-stage, non-boss conditions

[haughty flower]

Play stage 7 and you'll realize what's going on.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Consider play event properly first lmao

[jovial nest]

grindstone first!

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats called farm lol

[jovial nest]

also i think I hate thickets more than Lingering Echoes' gimmick now...

[sick flare]

you say that, but I totally just aimed a wandering medic at those enemies to expose them all at once

[scarlet fulcrum]

The context is he didn't know

[dark mantle]

these enemies are kinda funny

they are pieces of shit when you don't know how they work

but piss easy otherwise

[jovial nest]

enemies tied to thickets gimmick is pretty well designed

but the blocking of vision is worse than in NL

[sick flare]

I just love that they exist and now they can be added to other game modes to spook players

[dark mantle]

yes

i knew them from playing is6

and got destroyed

because i didn't play banana event on cn

[jovial nest]

thickets in one of the more infamous rooms

[dark mantle]

[tall sierra]

Those bloody plant with fire does some insane nuke

[jovial nest]

my 2 agents making sure nobody camps in isolated areas if they can stare at the enemies directly

[acoustic slate]

0 kelvin take damn

[bitter halo]

whoa that fox is a red box

[pearl compass]

Yes. If you spot him early, you'll got the medal.

[lilac steppe]

which one is this

[sick flare]

EA-7 has a bunch of them

[noble hollow]

what to do if the red boxes disappear after i take my schizo pills?

[pearl compass]

Be happy.

[rigid oracle]

Stainless S3 can see over thickets

Other ranged summons get vision blocked like Ling s2 or Magallan S3

and I think stainless is the only ground tile summon with range

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea mumu is who

[rigid oracle]

okay muelsyse copying logos can't see over the thicket either

devs literally just forgot to code for stainless s3 turret

[scarlet fulcrum]

Maybe, or its just coded different

[pearl compass]

Wis' S3 can also seek enemies

[pearl compass]

I thought this event will limit her power, but...

[rigid oracle]

looks like fiametta S3 doesn't work

[glass monolith]

Ambriel can't 420 no scope past the wall

[fierce tendon]

Sounds like a CCB material for that event

Event is easy yet shit mechanics

[glass monolith]

Global range demanding line of sight blue screens my brain

RA2 experience where Fia S3 makes her "blind"

[fierce tendon]

I almost did vanguard specialist only this event

Until this dragon can fly

[glass monolith]

Need more doll keepers

[obtuse shale]

Why does this dragon have three phases lmao

[pearl compass]

It has 2.

First one repeat itself like Bloodknight, if you're stupid.

And also fucks up the Trimmed Medal.

[obtuse shale]

Didn't check the medals yet.

[scarlet fulcrum]

just normal clear example

@mossy edge

[sweet marlin]

i used narantuya to deal with the dragon

[scarlet fulcrum]

Give some love to ur ascalon also

U can sub durin+steward to silverash

Deploy him on teq tile

[mossy edge]

getting an elite 2 is considered loved to me 💔

[scarlet fulcrum]

20 lv still cheap

U only want her talent here

Mainly

[mossy edge]

So i just use her s1 then?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea sure, s2 is her best skill tho

Get her mod1 also important. I removed her mod in that vid btw

[mossy edge]

I borrowed an alter lappland and cooked the drones

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh I thought u dont want to

[fathom gull]

any advice for EA 5?
I cannot kill these tree shields with anything they're so tanky

[glass monolith]

Defender medics and chip them down eventually with other tools

1050 ATK once per 6 second, 35k hp, 550def, 15res

[fierce tendon]

Hold the tree with defenders then have arts on them

-# i killed them by just yalter

[glass monolith]

Well 41k arts damage is not something which just happens fast. Good luck to new players sitting there with Steward for 3 minutes

[fiery carbon]

Guys firewatch or brigid

[pearl compass]

Neither

I even wondered how those two are near each other

[regal frost]

show your other snipers

[merry crow]

is eblana's summons consistent in auto deploy?

[pearl compass]

If enemy dies on intersection of two tiles, it may go unstable and break out.

[merry crow]

aint no way

[pearl compass]

<@&586570970345635868>

[brazen linden]

giggity

[pearl compass]

Thx

[merry crow]

[fiery carbon]

Only other option is Ambriel... (im new so I got little sniper operators)

I guess I'll just use kroos alter and may and just not do snipers for now

[regal frost]

kroos alter is fine yeah. ambriel isn't worth it

oh wait I thought this was help

[nocturne cove]

a fire skin

[lilac steppe]

Hey2,
Which Skill and Mod for NearlAlter, when against IS3 Ed4 Boss? My first time against the boss

[pearl compass]

S3 and probably ModX... I guess.

But NearlAlter is a bad pick, needs something that can kill several tanky enemies at once, like Mlynar.

Or Wis.

Maybe even Surtr is more suitable for Izumik due to her immortality, because he hits like a truck.

[lilac steppe]

Yea, i completed the ending by bruteforcing (its low diff).
Now its time for IS5 alt endings

[dusk quest]

Havent seen such a garbage story boss in a longgg time

[pearl compass]

We didn't saw him in EX yet.

[dusk quest]

Screw EX I can't even do regular with Victoriaknights

They should've made it do 1mil dmg when flying, that way I would've resorted to braindead strats earlier

Like so

[merry crow]

How's pozy's new module? Wonder if she can replace April

[maiden hound]

55s rdp

so higher rdp and no camo helidrop

[glass monolith]

Reminder you can silence instakill ability of Siege Alter boss

[worldly plaza]

the best strategy is to kill it before it kills you

[twin jacinth]

14-21 - i'm assuming because of how high her RES is (but the fact that it changes in phase 2 to +DEF -RES) that i need both strong melee/ranged units and also strong arts, not just strong either or

[maiden hound]

ye

[tender tapir]

Who should I work on base on today's shit

[acoustic slate]

[regal frost]

clear event as much as you can, if you get stuck E2 chalter

[wicked minnow]

do you like have like othe 6*s if you dont mind me asking?

[regal frost]

if that's their only 6*s I'll cry on their behalf

[narrow pendant]

Hes only showing the ones that match the farmable chips

Which is hella cringe

[regal frost]

ah

[regal frost]

show all your 6*s please

[glass monolith]

Took me a second to register that

[tender tapir]

Who should i work on, sorry I was giving jt83 another go

Failed miserably

[glass monolith]

Good old jt8-3

[tender tapir]

Kms

[glass monolith]

Pretty sure you need to kill Talulah Don't kill steal from firewall

[regal frost]

is your base built btw?

no need to keep E2s at level 1

[tender tapir]

Bruh

[narrow pendant]

💀

[glass monolith]

Maybe he is literally not using them? I am sure he noticed cost to level up "resets" each promotion

[narrow pendant]

Insane

[glass monolith]

O hey 243 enjoyer

[tender tapir]

Wait, not using who? Or what?

Am I slow, also I don't use next to any guards, instead I use blaze and Spectre

And I use casters for there arts, I can't stand using support so I just try and tank my way through

[teal moon]

you have a bunch of e2 operators that are still at level 1. They are talking about them

[teal moon]

well, you can start using better operators and actual dps

[tender tapir]

Oh, yeah, I just made them these past 2 days, I need to level them but the cash shit is closed

But that would deff help

[teal moon]

Zuo Le kinda one of the best laneholder in the game (Blaze and Specter now are outdated)
Surtr and Silverash will fill the burst dps department
Ente kinda usable

she's not great but in your roster she can find a spot probably

[limpid kestrel]

So whats the strat for new event lvl 5 and onward, just using aoe units doesnt work, and my dps and tanks get squashed easily for some reason

[gentle spoke]

wisadel

[limpid kestrel]

[gentle spoke]

not even joking

[acoustic slate]

You know he might want to like

Idk

Farm it

[gentle spoke]

yea wis can farm ea-8

that's what i was struggling with, but now i figured it out, it's cuz the bait ground unit used to die quickly

[acoustic slate]

[gentle spoke]

you can try logos for ea-6 or somethin

[acoustic slate]

Manual farming suggestion in strategy

Big moves in ako

[limpid kestrel]

I used firewhistle early stages to melt those f***ers, but my tanks keep getting melted instead

[gentle spoke]

ea6 is literally logos s1

[acoustic slate]

Post what you’re trying

[teal moon]

yeah, stages from 6 to 8 needs the auto so they can farm

[limpid kestrel]

Well i gues wisadel skill 3?

[teal moon]

just borrowing would help finish the stage but not for farming

[gentle spoke]

ah i see, @limpid kestrel you have wisadel or no?

[limpid kestrel]

Nope, my friend does

[teal moon]

send squad you're using and tell us which stage

[limpid kestrel]

Moment i need to enter game

[gentle spoke]

my bad, i'm assuming he already has wisadel

[gentle spoke]

yea send the squad actually

[limpid kestrel]

Here

[teal moon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufefdB6cA6s&list=PLdcpPSF3owK5sHiYEYGEeDkmesnCzaIPK&index=7
here is a low end guide playlist made from our favourite guide maked (Arfgoat)

[acoustic slate]

Your tanks died bc they’re such low lvl.

[limpid kestrel]

I thought healers would help with that...

[acoustic slate]

Cuora tanks physical damage and philae uhhhh

Your medics are low lvl too

[teal moon]

early levels are cheap, no reason to not doing them

[gentle spoke]

you have to upgrade any one of your ranged unit if you want to face ea8

[acoustic slate]

Can’t afford bc of that lvl 80 maybe

[smoky sapphire]

is there a way to heal or even calm the civilians in HE-EX-8

[limpid kestrel]

Im trying to get her to rank 2, i just need 4 chips and two of those green thingys

[teal moon]

don't max level an operator unless you are ready to promote them immediately

[smoky sapphire]

everything else is pretty easy but the civs keep dying on me

[glass monolith]

Tree punch for 1050 damage, deduct DEF from that, stage has like 3 trees. Assume they might punch at once. Calculate for need to heal back all damage in 6 second. Ez

[gentle spoke]

no you cant

not on that stage at least
Just ensure they dont get rolled over by the rocks

[limpid kestrel]

Maxing out the tanks?

[acoustic slate]

Yes but since you don’t have those, the levels on her are wasted

You could pay for several 1>40s with the price of her 60>80

[glass monolith]

or killing better whichever option you prefer

[smoky sapphire]

even if they dont get rolled over, problem is the aoe damage done can still hurt them

and they lose a lot of hp when panicking

[limpid kestrel]

Fair enough, second biggest fumble in this entire run, after spending my sanity getting philae (worth it)

[gentle spoke]

yea bait the rock blast by placing a fast re deploy right next to the rock spawner

[sick flare]

they can, but for EA-6 specifically you can actually just avoid taking much damage from the Ash Creations by only deploying units on the eastern high ground and in front of your blue box, like Arf did in the linked video. The Ash Creations only deal that damage when you don't have them in vision yet.

[gentle spoke]

use the op as a human shield

[glass monolith]

Uh... How you even get civilians rocked on EX-8? I just broke holes and all rocks drop in
I would get normal boss stage where civilians walk over each hole in existence and get in way of each rock to degree that they literally walk into rock spawner as it spawns one

[limpid kestrel]

Aight off to watch a video

[foggy berry]

does anybody know how to do this before i resort to spending an hour on youtube

[glass monolith]

Do you have Gravel? Give boss Gravel. It won't do much but at least she won't advance as fast. Then shoot her to death with snipers, her DEF stat is weak

[foggy berry]

im doing something like that but she does the black spike attack thing and just one shots me

[glass monolith]

Yea that's her signature mechanic, permament tile ban. Only thing you can do is kill her while there are tiles left

[gentle spoke]

have you e2ed any of your 6*?

[foggy berry]

i wish im trying to do wis'dael i think thats her name but i need to beat this stage to do that

[gentle spoke]

ok ok, can you send us your squad

[foggy berry]

I DID IT

oml

that was so not good

actual panic and fear

[glass monolith]

No pain and fear are H stages

[dusk quest]

I know and I did that, by garbage I meant garbage hard (cause of million sources of dmg)

[willow sun]

@acoustic slate kinda off-topic but i’ve had an auto running that i opened occasionally for the last 6 hours and my game hasn’t re-launched yet, could just be a coincidence but it feels like i haven’t had any issues with it (yet)

[acoustic slate]

Maybe new engine does it if it knows you aren’t doing anything

[willow sun]

ope it finally relaunched

[neon maple]

how do I stop this boss from regenerating? I've been on this stage for 10 minutes. I'm playing blind so idk the mechanics

[dapper hedge]

Kill all the crystals before his hp come back full

[noble hollow]

itll spawn in like stone things and you have to kill them

[neon maple]

oh I didn't notice the one next to the blue box

oh, it just killed my entire squad immediately after, cool

[torpid prawn]

EA-7 has to be the hardest stage in this event.
The bot side is just an E2 defender stalling simulator.
Can 3 star i just forgot to feed a lv1 operator to the flaming vines so it doesnt 1 shot the guard (popukar + grey alter combo).
Still need to optimize this comp cuz i barely have any trust farming slots

[noble hollow]

wisadel solos bot

[wicked minnow]

fellas. just reveal the enemies hidden at the bottom

the stage is dog easy

also what

hardest stage this event?

it's not even the hardest stage in the normal mode 🥹

[torpid prawn]

Ok then, i looked up the easy strat and came up with this comp
This one works cuz everyone is pot6 so less dp in order to do humus - very late robot (reveal 2) - artilerry (reveal3) - matterhorn (e2 + block module)
The snipers could be useful for humus if he wouldnt die cuz he cant regain his hp with 2 snipers

[cyan gorge]

I just used April + frd for bottom section

[torpid prawn]

Frd?

[cyan gorge]

fast redeploy

executor specialists, merchants, etc

[torpid prawn]

But they only have range2, not enough to reveal the next red box

[cyan gorge]

that's what April is for

sniper

April to kill one, the frd for the one that steps out of her range

if no april just cycle two snipers

[scarlet fulcrum]

This guy has the famous agent anyway

This stage less favored because mat on low demand, not other reason

[vocal leaf]

catapult cost 20 dp, why not to use rangers, trc or phonor, even brigid is better

[craggy turret]

You could free up a squad slot with papyrus since eyja alter can solo heal this, assuming you can take down the second phase of this boss. Otherwise, go with Walter for support, I haven't tested but the boss is paper thin so if you place her correctly, his aoe fire attack should wiff her completely

Another good healer for this,now that I think about it actually, might be reed alter, since she could take down the crystals while also healing, though I don't know if she'll be able to tank the aoe fire

[torpid prawn]

I see, altho this was used for EA-7. Ended up doing a 3-4 op clear

[hazy ridge]

Anyone know how to consistently do EA 8 trust farm? Alot of them them seem to use eyja alter. And everytime I try to replace her with Honey she don't live long enough?

[craggy turret]

You could try using honeyberry + another medic

[elder flume]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1mu9mYDEgx/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click

[hazy ridge]

Have tried and they were not long for the world.... probs will get back to it. going to try EA-6 cuss turns out I ran out of the grindstones

[hazy ridge]

....sometimes I wonder why I even bother trying to follow Kyost guides when appearntly this was the better version

[weak gazelle]

another unfriendly auto run

[hazy ridge]

Welp about to test out and see how well the above strat is in auto run... if it works good news for people with Wisdal, bad news for people without her

[weak gazelle]

maybe i should use another method for stable run

boss itself is weak, the mechanic that give the headache instead :icant:

[craggy turret]

I used mly + yu s3

[weak gazelle]

both are e0 on my roster :ya:

thinking just use logos instead

[lofty stag]

Imagine needing to auto this stage couldn’t be me

[craggy turret]

Idk if just mly could finish the boss off actually

[weak gazelle]

should be

[sick flare]

I think to make it stable you just need to phase the boss consistently in one spot, and have good ranged coverage of that area to clear the spike things. The spike spawns when it phases also seem pretty consistent, so if you need to deploy an extra operator to clear them that seems well in autos too

[craggy turret]

If the issue is the burn damage, then I got around it with lumen + honeyberry, tho I imagine honeyberry + another wandering medic could solve the issue (assuming you don't have eyjaberry)

[weak gazelle]

ray can kill boss with 8-9 ammo on skill

the spike spawn is the problem

sometime can kill my ops sometimes doesnt

[hazy ridge]

Can you not unsummon them? Or do they need them really bad?

[weak gazelle]

its boss changing phase so i cant avoid it

[hazy ridge]

Oooo, those spikes

[weak gazelle]

thats the main issue i face

[hazy ridge]

Could a quick deploy specalist with explosive aoe help or make it worse?

[weak gazelle]

i use april and canta for that

it just work perfectly when do normal run

turn to disaster when auto :icant:

april dead in normal run but somehow she survive when auto

[south spindle]

Auto saves some rng aspects yeah lmfao

Cantabile worked fine for me for killing spines

[hazy ridge]

Which idk why they are obssed with that

[sick flare]

I auto'd the stage a bunch of times and I never had a situation where the spikes spawned in a different area than on my first clear

[weak gazelle]

yeah, maybe i should use different option instead

[hazy ridge]

Yup works as an auto

[weak gazelle]

playing eblana + ray core kinda weird lol

[weak gazelle]

i see, so the problem is eblana servant rng :icant:
without her things go smoothly

[rapid junco]

Add mlynar for less rng grinding 🤫

[split spire]

Incase someone needed this sry for bad quality also tested this 10 times + already no fail

[narrow pendant]

Its stinky year1 ops + zuo

[split spire]

Thats because iam returning player without good op except zuo

zuo le gravel tech is like, above surface help channel iceberg lore atp

[smoky sapphire]

what are some tips and/or things to note about SL-S-4 CM and SL-S-5/CM? i swear I can't get these stages done at all, there's always gonna be some ops that leak and it'll always be mission fails

[wispy condor]

s-4 kinda gets snapped in half by wis'adel iirc. s-5 just kinda requires you to micromanage around dolly

[lofty stag]

Is that the eyjalter event?

[nocturne cove]

use soda bottles!

[wispy condor]

abuse the soda bottles like your life depends on it. and it probably will

[smoky sapphire]

i did lmao
though, i don't know exactly where to put them or in what conditions should i put them

[timid cave]

Here are the operators I currently have upgraded but I’m not sure if I should grind more with supplies or not cuz the rest of chapter 4 need way stronger units

[acoustic slate]

Clear and grind the event, it has tons of relatively cheap mags

[timid cave]

Alright

[wispy ledge]

[serene hornet]

Not like the rest of the mage section is better anyways

[hushed shuttle]

Hi! I am a new AK player and was wondering if any active/veteran player would possibly be able to find some time to oversee and assist my attempt for the great Yan rice paddy annihilation operation?

[willow sun]

we dont reaaaally do that around here, you could try looking up youtube tutorials first

especially if youre still a new player with weaker units, you either have to just spam play the stage and FAFO until you understand roughly all 400 enemies, watch a tutorial to either track said 400 enemies or just to copy it, or wait until your team is stronger

the first option is probably the most "fun" (subjective) but will help you learn the game the fastest (probably objective?)

[regal frost]

if new do the cherenborg annihilation first

[jovial nest]

Enemies that act as red boxes until they're in operator attack range is hilarious.

[full terrace]

Cherenborg I have never seen a worse dyslexia before

[lilac steppe]

For IS5 Ending 4, i need to pass this stage like usual right? No special condition required (such as stalling until the boat comes)

[full terrace]

There are boats in that stage

[pearl compass]

If you mean do something to reach Qui'lon, no. Just kill the Fremont like usual.
Althrough, you won't kill Fremont like usual, because no RdplTime 1/2 buff here anymore and additional boats spawning (you can leak them all).

Stop running

[lilac steppe]

Eheh.. thx! So, what does the boat do in that stage, transport our op?

[pearl compass]

Take out your ops. If they leak with them, consider it as Perma-BAN operator. You won't use them anymore.

[lilac steppe]

Ohhh... dayum. Totally different with Quilon stage ya, we need some of them to get to the boat

[pearl compass]

You can just retreat your ops before boats touch them.

[lilac steppe]

Got it. Thx! How to pronounce your nick name?

[pearl compass]

They're too fucking tanky that it's easier to leak rather to kill them.

[pearl compass]

Wait a sec.

Here.

[smoky sapphire]

what are some notable replacements for mountain to lanehold SL-S-5 CM right side? my mountain is currently very much underbuilt (SL7) and i have to use eyjaberry through support since i don't have her

[smoky sapphire]

or rather, is it viable if, let's say, i use mountain for a while, then when the formation is stable enough, swap to mudrock for example

[pearl compass]

Mountain is better.

You can use Lancet-3 to help him heal.
Do you know, how to make him stay on white cloud?

[smoky sapphire]

i usually just leave him be after the few opening seconds (i set up mountain facing up and then a crate to give him white smoke, then activate mountain skill)

[pearl compass]

Oh so you know that trick, good.

Well, Lancet-3 right in the same row as him, preferably at the start as well.

The tiny amount of healing must help him live a little longer.

[smoky sapphire]

i kinda doubt that he'd survive
my mountain is currently at SL7 S2 and even NG S2M1 can't help him much

[pearl compass]

If you had probs with Sheep Mages, don't hesitate to use TexasAlter S3.

[smoky sapphire]

i don't have texalter

[pearl compass]

She is the same place as him?

[smoky sapphire]

i skipped like
the big golden age of new meta because of burnout, including wisadel, eyjaberry, typhon, texalter, and the like

[smoky sapphire]

yes, to the left of the fountain nearest to mountain

[pearl compass]

Like this?

[smoky sapphire]

no

ng is to the right of D9, facing right

[pearl compass]

It's better to have this, although I worried it'll help anyway and Sheep Mages has clear shot on her anyway.

[smoky sapphire]

how big is the range for the wizard sheeps?

[pearl compass]

It's enough to land hits on Nighty.

[smoky sapphire]

oh

[vocal leaf]

nothing like debating about your bloodline

[cinder pike]

if you didn't have a plan, you have one now

[fiery carbon]

Arf what should I upgrade next

i just pulled 9 times and got Necrass rockrock (which i already have) grainbuds and blacknight (no guaranteed)

Prob blacknight or necrass right

[full terrace]

Should be Necrass yeah. Dont raise the others, you will not be using them much in the future

[wise jetty]

what am I doing wrong here? Talulah just wipes my squad and where do I place Typhon S3

Here's my squad / who should I replace

[maiden hound]

lee?

kick lee yeah

[wise jetty]

also is Blemishine better here instead of Nearl

[maiden hound]

I think you're gonna shove surtr and necrass summon and shit so no need for blemi

[full terrace]

Your squad is so powerful yet so wrong for this stage. There are 2 main things you need to pay attention to:

• Ignition. Talulah ignites 2 of your last deployed operators every 20 secs.
• Explosion. After a period of time, she will trigger explosions on all ignited operators, dealing Arts damage in + shape (4 adjacent tiles from the target)
  These are the things you need to pay attention to, and the core mechanic you have to counter for this stage.

You have 2 solutions for this

The first is to use 2x FRD (FRD's cooldown is 18 secs which matches perfectly with Talulah's ignition cooldown), meaning you can use 2 FRDs to neutralize the ignition forever, and since there is no ignition triggered, there is no explosion happening

The second is to outheal the ignition, and then position your ops in the optimal way that wont let the explosion hit the other operators

So something like this:
O X O X O X
X O X O X O
O X O X O X

[wise jetty]

alr thx Imma try this, Gravel and Yato are enough right?
