The option is only either you pick ed1 or ed2 fight before you fight ed4
1st option is ed2
2nd option is ed1
Okay thanks
Any
Choose 1 is Theresis
Choose 2 is Fremont
Is silverash good guys?
Yes
👍nice
why?
she adds nothing to your roster just use surfer
Actually I guess ur right plus surfer can also hit ranged enemies so that’s pretty useful
Mostly just in case

question about EA-2
how do I find operators that are ranged but can be deployed on ground
none of the sites i looked at offer "filter by range" and "filter by deploy tiles"
rrr all shifters are melee that can be placed on ranged tiles...
ela is ranged and she can be placed melee with mod delta
but what does this have to do with EA-2?
Ah well the longest melee ranges you can find is probably a lord guard
3* Midnight is one
kinda sucks this info is not readily available and/or easily searchable
in game i mean
on sites maybe i just didn't see
i mean, it's part of the strategy
you see the constraints, you need to find the op that fits these constraints
and there are way too many of them
found Thorns when scrolling
i guess would also work
gonna level that goober
do ground level healers exist?
uh yes, guardian defenders
so 3* spot, 4* gummy
I’m new are any of these good
#help for advice, also would you consider rerolling?
Oh sorry I was in the wrong channel what do you mean by reroll king
Retelling
Rerolling
making a new account in order to get different 6*s, come to help though people there can explain better
Why should I reset ny progress
you don't really have much progress to begin with.
if you do reroll, it's just to have a more optimised start
you don't have to reroll though
Yeah I don’t wanna make a new email
I can always pull on new banner ig
Since I’m new I will probably have a lot of pulls to get
By the way who is worth pulling rn
Wait I just realized I can do Apple acc too
I can try using apple acc
i reroled
i made apple acc
im goin through tutorial
I dont think so
considering global range isnt global anymore due to the tile visibility mechanic
Is this team usable for EA-7?
First e2 brigid
Both sides :/
just use aa to reveal boxes early
Oh the eggs don’t come if you reveal the boxes?
the burning plant side is easy
I tried revealing the boxes before but then I got overrun with the end point monsters
Ok
Ok
I never really know which skill to select
Oh ok
??? You dont need to click buttons w s2 too
lapp s2 is auto lol
Yea lol
why is brigid max lv 
Um
Because she is cool?
I used that packet thing the game gave me
Woo I completed the stage (in practice run though I leaked two of the fire monsters)
Maybe I need an arts user
Wait no they have good resistance
Yea hmm
I leaked two burning vines on the right
They kill my units really quickly and then walk through
Well I start with Myrtle and Shaw and then I moved to Shaw and quartz
wait
are you actually supposed to just use contrail to block the boss when it flies?
it's such a pain in the ass 
HG working overtime to defeat brute forcing again
I did that on the left side
Ohh
Should I not use Shaw then
I was using her to push the stuff into the hole
I already did but I had to think first
just bruteforce harder
no point in having shaw unless you're pushing something
unless you got nothing better
Should i swap out quartz for silverash for the left side then?
E1-20
Does Lappland do silence without E2?
Oh
Where do you read that
fandom 
there you go
I guess it’s saying it improves at e2
lappland's attack interval is 1.3s btw
This has been really helpful, thanks y’all
@barren crescent assuming you are talking about story frost nova
Ignoring all other operators in this autoplay
Melantha + 2 medics
Everything else can just be whatever you have to hold the other two lanes
If you are talking about IS frost nova
Is that frostnova different from 6-16 frostnova?
Yes
That makes more sense and I’m not sure
No
How do you guys would kill it
Sorry didn’t know which version you were talking about
Just pointing a ranged op her way
Shes not too tanky
Cant exactly "1v1" her cu, her attacks perma freeze
So using ranged is easier
Does her tiles destroying attack target tiles with ops specifically?
Nope that is random
My ea-8 is not auto stable
Roger Roger
So she just randomly destroyed tiles with my ops on it 5 times in a row got it 👌
https://youtu.be/vJyr6mTpSWo?si=jsckc12ORKbPNSY5
Can check this out, dont nees to copy 1:1, but learn the idea and adapt to what u own
If that truly happened then ye, u got unlucky as shit
🥹
Fartsnova really doesnt want to join rhodes with me
3 hr maintenance for Icebreakers 2
She's dead
Fuck spoiler
You will get used to being sad
Youre cruel
I hope what you typed in that spoiler message isnt frostnova related something
Fuck icebreaker
Dropped a rush bomb and she died this mf bunny is too strong for her own good
kid named spoiler
Mine's m6 if you still need one 
idk if it will help tbh
as in maybe my strats wrong
So about this boss. I cleared the stage just fine (and got 3stars) but it's a little difficult to read its position because of its size.
And then I found out that it's blockable in all three phases which is nice.
🥹
He has two.
And you probably fucked up the Trimmed Medal by saying this.
I thought I saw the HP bar empty three times total but I probably didn't read it right.
Cuz he can infinitely return ti phase one
(On the ground)
Phase 2 is when hes flying
Boss is less pain than last time we had infinite revives phase 1 knight 
@full terrace I tried using ur Nara strat on 5-4, but always seems like Nara doesnt kill them on time before it hits the trigger
Clear out crystals?
You know, they look like spikes, when boss tries to stun one of your ops.

The same will spawn when dragon dies.
Admittedly I wasn't paying enough attention lol
If you fail to destroy ALL of them
Phase 1 will reborn
Endlessly.
And that fucks the Trimmed Medal condition.
Lucky me that it only repeated once.
Which makes you do first try on this.
If you mean in 1:26 I deactivated her skill to extend her attack range. Narantuya S1 shortens her original attack range, by deactivating it, I extended her attack range by 1 column, which covers 1 more ground tile to the left. I made good use of that 1 extra tile by letting her throw her chakram 1 time before reactivating her S1.
You need to reactivate it after her chakram left her hand
not that, even before
some of the ground units hit the trigger right as they die
Before that there is nothing special, she just kills everything
You borrowed weak Naran then
😏
want mine? M6 lvl70
what is M6
mastery 6
2 skills have m3
wat dat mean
legasp howd u know
I'll just set her up, not many people have Narantuya built
Not many?
yeah
i can barely find any Narans
Also it's probably due to the pots as well, mine got pots
pots
Yeh not many, you have no idea how many times I hit 1 hour refresh on my recording account
Just to find Narantuya
I gave up and built her myself
😵
3rd best sniper for a reason
and now arf shills tuya 😊

is god kroos 1st?

She is up, good luck there
🫡
see who loses first
5-4 or my sanity
oh yeah
immediately ur Naran is taking out the enemies in 2 hits
others took 3
pots?
she did it
olh my god
she bypassed the 1 thing i had issues on
spoke too soon.
Ofcourse she did. The video you watched was literally her 😏
😭
probably messed up on the shield
ohhh
i see you're stalling the ninjas
fuck
2 of them got through goddamit
atleast i passed the mission
Bring more bodies to stall if the Defenders are not enough
Fang, Yato, those that got 2 Blocks
wasnt that
was how the timing of the defender perfeclty made it so when ur naran shot the drone it hit both of them
getting them to half hp
but mine didnt hit them
because my defenders are levelled up they dont die at the same time
That is exactly why. Since you didnt hit them when hitting the drones, stall a bit more so that she kill the drones first
And when they arrive, she is not hitting anything
okay
She will kill them just fine
i mean i dont even know why im just bringing tequila and the defenders when i got slots for more snipers lmao
Also you can retreat

Weirdly hit the spot

swapped back to ur ling?
Huh? No Narantuya is still there
oh sorry
i was using ur wis
haha miscomm mybad
nvm i did it without anyway
haha
Ah yes, I switched Wisadel out for Ling, she is needed for recording purpose. You should add more people as friends, Wisadel is a pretty common Support Unit.
@south spindle @still vessel can you guys lend him your Wisadel?
Oh wait
🤣 🤣
No thank you 😂
There is only like 2 months left before you guys spark Wisadel. I gotta make fun of you as much as I could before that happens 🤣
on 9-19 how do u knock the guy down to deal damage to him
If hovering enemy - Stun or kill
If boss of chapter 9 - Drop pillar on that cat or kill despite 60% or whatever DR 
Mandragora cant dodge pillars. If you meant the pillars dropped did not hit her, thats your timing.
You are already at Chapter 9, you should be familiar with timings at this point.
Toxic AF in lore cat is She btw
i passed with 1 hp goddam
i messed up with the phase change rock monsters
actually hella stressful lol
Well as usual with chapter bosses
I gotta say Mandragora is one of the easier bosses to burst
Chorus very nice, base also goated ☕
easier 😭
ill get the hang of it
ive been playing the game for a few days id say defeating him is a achievement
Her
Good boy
With the 'emergency lecture' foe in IS5, what is the correct way to deal with the stupid coffin thing he does
Uh yeah what fredi said and also retreat operators after phase 1 and have things ready to break their coffins
Just know when he does the teleport thing, once he points his wand up he won’t tp any operators you put down after
also what does 100 investment do, 'can cannot show you his wares?' isn't very descriptive lol
Uh you can rob cannot
But you have to play a stage
👀
Can be a little tricky and there’s some gimmicks to it because you can also exploit the stage for extra ingots, just make sure not to stun the boss
Its like irl
Building up trust between the cashier and a customer, only to then rob them

Very cool
Not, that im speaking from experience, ofc
Auto stable
You dont need so many fancy stuff for stable auto, Narantuya alone is enough to burst the boss
Then you just need laneholder to lanehold the etc stuff
Like this
I just started like 1 month ago. any recommendations for what 5* should i max? Still got a ticket to lv 80 a 5*
I do use Surfer a lot to gain do. And she is kinda a fast re deploy that can hit drones too
I thought that maybe lappland was a stronger option. But i do use Surfer more
if you lv80 surfer the enemy dies faster and you have less dp 
or e280 xingzhu to truly cope
Thats like knowingly eating poisom
Is Xin any good?
🥀
No, shes horrible
Nope
🥹
What about the new free sniper?
Her too
Don't waste your time on Brigid or Xingzhu
I do like highmore a lot
Or grani anymore either
Would rather use it on Krooster
If you need a Loopshooter just go build Caper
Focus on ur 6* methink
Shes unfortunetly a worse la pluma
So go for Surfer
Made nkt great decision in picking who u soend mats into
Let me check who is Caper
Just do Surfer or Krooster for that 5★ voucher
Oh.. i dont have krooster or caper. But i think i saw caper in the shop
Invitation To Wine side event for Krooster 
Gotem
I heard there is a free 6* from past side stories
gladiia. she's not worth the investment for new players
There's several but they aren't that worth
Gladiia for example isn't used by the average player
She's mostly used in Shiftknights or Contingency Contract Situations
Im planning to e2 Yu. Since i got all his materials. But i dont really use him that much
Yiu really should stop doing max level unless youre e2 right after
Ok. Just leave them at lv 1?
No…
Level costs in this game are exponential, but the gains are linear, so good place to park e1 ops and stop with e2 ops is rarity (4,5,6) times 10.
Lvl 1>50 costs about 65k
Lvl 50>80 costs about 280k
Got it
I used to think that i should max units with max potential
Since is hard to get their copies
Uh, no
They give more stats and reduce deploy points. But i guess u r right, im new, so got wrong ideas
pot bonuses are so insignificant they only start matter on very high end content
which 99% of players wouldn't even bother
this isn't like some other games (****) where dupes are needed before the unit is remotely usable
Lemme uncensor that for you: hoyo
wdym good sir
i have no idea what those four letter are ;clueless:
I played this game like 5 years ago or more. I forgot most. Sad that i lost my acc
How?
I feel you 🥹 my brother got me into Arknights in 2020. I got both Silver Ash and Angelina with the starter banner. Then my first ever banner event I pulled Blaze with a free roll my bro was pissed I got her before him. Then I stopped playing for some time and forgot my login had to start a new account. Got Blaze’s alter this year but it don’t feel the same as when I pulled Blaze I miss that account I had very good operators back then 🤧
Holy blog
I had many E2 6* operators
I was playing other gacha games and decided that arknights was too time consuming. And it was much more difficult
The gacha i changed for now got EOS 🤣
Siege was my fav operator back then
I cant find any Narantuya in Support Units. only Wis adel
thats crazy
Your gonna be Anwarned
Youre gonna be unlight
Disappointed pull but is she any useful
Nope
for the abandoned mine mission do you need to save the civillians
Yes, because their death reduce kill count by 1 because lol lmao
Her mine is better for gramaphone type shit than the rest trapmaster
Okok

You can use whenever, but if he wants he can save it for a kernel location banner

I away from PC rn, yt on search engine suck
But anyway, can you manually search the song on yt tho?
I need to use the kanji wtf
This one? 
Guys any tips to clear ED4 IS5 A16? I have been struggling with it for a day now…. I can’t kill the ending 1 boss 😭I don’t know what’s wrong but my rosmot + wisadel + logos + narantuya + king relics and archetype relics are not enough. I usually kill his first phase right before he goes into the top left corner, but then the boats come out and carry my dps/or I have to retreat my dps and they can’t spawn again fast enough for he reaches the blue box. I don’t know what’s the problem but from A1-A15 I think this combo should be more than enough to nuke him, but I have to go with multiple skill circles….. Can somebody suggest me a squad or maybe I need a debuffer? ( I don’t select any supporter/aka debuffer in my runs. Maybe this is the problem?)
Uh so the boat pathings are preset for all maps so you kind of do just need to learn their pathing
These are my built 5 and 6*
I wouldn't draft Narantuya had high diffs, her DPH falls off
Ulpianus Mlynar are better to consider
And you are doing ED4 so you should really be thinking heavily about draft
What did you mean by draft ? 😭
Also, shop rob for chalice gurantee exists
Hmmm I don’t understand this part as well
Like what ops you choose because ED4 is a draft check
need 2 medics pref with global or wide range
so eyjaberry, silence, purestream goood choice
I only have ejaberry and lumen with wide range
and for ED1 w/ boats i need to see what you are doing wrong because just knowing boat pathing is most important part
Silence purestream pref because of hope ocst
Hmmm maybe I should build purestream/silence then
E1 max is enough
I’m kind of short on mastery resource because I want to save and M6 mon3tr
Then I should have enough lmd
Also, your vanguard drafts should be Surfer/Cantabile
Ines is too expensive to draft hopewise
I did attempt with cantabile, but gave up after a few hours. There are so many annoying elites/stages with invicible enemies, and I need her reveal talent
Idk how to balance
Mostly lack of damage. And I can usually only start with 40-50 dp so I can only deploy 2dps. They need 2-3 skill cycles to finish one phase of the boss
nah that shouldn't be possible with wisadel rosmo draft
Do you have Greyyalter btw?
Yes, but not built
Hes the 3rd member of the flinger shenanigans
Do build him, hes very strong with Wis/Ros because hand of rumble
He does want E2
Also, one reason I use narantuya is that she can hit air pretty good. For example in the face off stage with the boats, she hits harder than wis
S1 usually, doesn't need masteires but nice to have, but wants mod3
ah I see, but rather you use Wisadel S3 + Mlynar S3 or something
Logos also works
Just Narantuya scaling is not as the other people I mentioned
Though she is a very comfortable pick wouldn't prio it
Yes I agree. She is much more comfy to use at E1 than anyone else
Also you really need to pay attention/manage fremont's DR mechanic
narantuya dph doesnt fall off. it's that she has a hand which is handmixing and that she doesnt scale of aspd relics
DR? Fremont is the ed1 boss?
krooster dph is high enough bruh
yes, he stacks damage reduction with his orbs
nara dph is like 3x kroosters smh
Yeah fcking annoying. That’s why at one point I wanted to do ED2 but not enough damage and dp….
Yeah as shileds said some archetypes
are fucked because
hand mixing is not ideal...
let’s not start again with the aspd false argument again 
how broken is 500 aspd narantuya
Okay guys let’s help a poor pretty new player with IS5😭
how is narantuya ASPD issues fraudulent
my false arguement as the boomerang takes at least 17 logos attack intervals to get back to narantuya
i mean you want me to graph
narantuya ASPD fall off

or did DragonGJY do it before
i wanna be lazy
How about nymph?
Nymph is same hand as Logos, works fine
she has one condition, have enemy close and use s3, s2 it’s the only skill that doesn’t work with aspd
Who should I pick after logos, between lapallter and nymph?
definitely not laptop
she has Hand of Undulation which also has a a book
that’s why you must have the enemy close 
even when they are close, she only scales so much with aspd
Okay thats a terribly specific condition
and still its static
she stops scaling at like +80 aspd 
do not make me make a 3d graph to roast you
Eh, I think lap is quite strong in the stage with the sui sibling mechanics and the one with boss from babel, the first chapters and the drones?
you already did this graph before, light. this is cheating
ah problem is her hand also has a book so thats -2 nodes, and her damage isn't actually that high
compared to Flingers / Logos
graphs 🚮 i only believe in gameplay
I mean …..
okay dont do your taxes 
It’s pretty clear and straightforward that her archetype has a fixed amount of time that it needs to travel back to her regardless of attackspeed
So in anyscale it should be less effective with attackspeed buff?
There’s a book?
yes "Broken Wand Undulation" or something
I thought she only had the +sp everytime she hits
i might be lying but you're forced to get it if you have hand of undulation
yes the +SP is neat but its not enugh to fix her
Flingers: Wis Rosmo Greyy2 / Guards: Mlynar Hoederer Ulpianus Silverash / CC: Logos+Nymph
all perform more consistently
A question about ulp: should I only pick him when I have a lot initial sp/attackspeed after deployment?
not exactly. she does actually benefit from aspd buffs. she has an attack interval built in where if the enemies are close to her <1 tiles, the boomerange actually arrives faster than her built-in attack interval of 1 second. other than that aspd also reduces the amount of frames it takes to attack so that can be a boost in itself. the thing is the boomerang still takes some time to travel so even it would take let's say for example 0.6 or so seconds to come back to her. at that point she would stop stop scaling at around +80 aspd. if they are beyond 1 tile, she doesnt scale at all with aspd basically
uh Ulpi is just useful enroute kind of depends on what you have
Anyone to deal with drones? Use logos?
there’s that stage with like 100 drones😭
this is much better explanation than the usual she doesn’t work at all 
How’s then sakarz relic compare to king relic? One is full hp bonus the other is 1
Worse
Noted
sarkaz king relic heavily reliant on visage something relic
full set its top notch relic... defensively
the F5 Aerial Assault stage?
Logos almost solos that with hand of mystery
he can spam S3
because of the SP bufs
what map layout again that?
anyone i should use my gold certs on?
have mudrock?
if have, put her on right blue box (remember to deploy her last)
the rest you can focus on left side
No
Oh
borrow her then with s2 as main skill
i only remember that strat for this map :icant:
Or just get mlynar and now you dont have to bother with deploy order & the mortars dude 
I beat it with Horn killing all the mortars, but that is a pretty specific operator to use
oh yeah mweenar
man... i am so obsolete
ling solos that stage
What is the correct way (generally) to use ray? Her sandbeast thing seems to die very, very quickly (unless that is intentional and it has a timed life?)
the sandbeast can be viewed as a range extender with a downtime
Use the sandbeast when you hit s3
activate s3 -> deploy sandbeast -> retreat sandbeast when skill ends
sand beast has a longer duration than s3 but you should retreat it anyway to line up skill cycle with it
My understanding is that ray is supposed to be pretty useful for IS, right?
Eh~
Not really no
For binding theres better
Her dmg isnt bad, but uts single target
Is5 abuses king relic/lamp/chalice for massive aspd
Something she cant benefit from due ti her hunter trait
So othee ops just do better
"man i can't wait to deal 15000 dph to enemies quickly!"
the evil and intimidating reload duration:
@south spindle lend the guy some Ela
lmao
i didnt realise u were doing chapter 10 on the HARDER mode
i was at 10-4 and wondering why ur timings and my timings were completely different for the bomb thing
I love how chapter 10 onwards separated normal and CM so they can do shit like different layouts etc 
Zalabgy#1076
of course
i hope they dont needs pots, but i can make her P3
sankyu
i think it should be fine
i just need her to cheese 10-2
i wonder if its possible with Naran
wait tf
wtf whys everyone so expensive 😭
Doesnt look like Light#7714 to me HAHAHAHAHA
Doesn't this guy create 100 alt accounts
whos that?
sounds like a bad player
that doesn't have yato or ela
lmk when you're done sorry this accounts full
HAHAHAHAHA this is why I love you
you can add my main which has less stuff on it
Arf i want to say things that will get Shaw bot in my dms 🥰
no prob no actual rush right now
just might get removed randomly heads up, not necessarily today lol
Me when I ignore x3 cost as AE/CM condition 
why 😭
Guys which is a good starting squad to clear ed4 is5 a15+? Medic sniper or general refresh node squat?
Both are very good
Think Snipermedic is just more comfortable
But blue print can be better if used properly, its usually banned for a reason lmao
It’s you angel. Thanks for helping
i have no idea what anything was just said
Nah, sham is only really needed if u intend to use like krooster
Thanks. Core squat: wisadel, rosmo, logos + ulpi/myl?
Are defenders strong here? Like shu?
Has anyone else realized trapmasters break the stages, not like bug but like for spreading operators target area in the current global event
I mean, the only defender you'd ever draft in like, every IS is spot and shu
Maybe cuora/gummy in is5

Yea its known
Ah, guess I don't look up strats too often
Its just not talked about much cuz, honestly?
Its whatever
Event is annoying but very easy
Uh I think i said earlier the core is Wisadel Rosmo Greyy2
Mlynar Logos Ulpi are kind of luxury
For is5, what are good units to have leveled and pick for supporter vouchers? It seems like the game reaaaallly likes giving me supporter vouchers to the point where in some runs, half the vouchers i got were supporter ones
I ditch Supporter Vouchers, at least for now
We will have Tragodia and Haruka in the future
use podenco e1 in case no medics
very likely ye, but probably easier if you can e2 log or rosmontis here
What 'squad' do people usually go with for is5? my only clear so far was on the one that automatically promotes 5*s
I did it with just a wis as 6star so u shud be chill
uh no
and if not, who do I dump gigamoney on to level
if you borrow yeah sure
e1 mountain e2 thorns are solid
I would say surtr but phase 2 boss is flyin
or you could just borrow wis

Hey gang, anyone tried giving away "Petal" in IS5 at the lost and found node when you already have "Anasa's Karma"? Does this still allow you to proceed to Quilon?
Sorry mb. Turns out the option to do that doesn't even appear in the node to begin with 
Yah not all relics can be traded
Like 2010 anisong 👍
U cant clear EA 8 with Wis adel?
didn't try wisadel because no friends with wisadel
will try to search some carry later
Search for her. There is a lot of people with that operator
She is my dragon killer
There is other sniper that can solo it too. Forgot her name.. was something like Naya
Narantuya
In my case. I deploy wis early next to the dragon. Once she kills it and his crystals i remove her
Then make enough time spamming operators to deploy her again and kill it
Don't
Wisadel is like a drug
Once you try it..
It's.... Over.

For me Wisadel is Cluster Grenade you throw it in because too lazy to pistol rest of enemy closet 
This is how i clear it
guys i dont understand this annihilation map, wtf are the special tiles and what do they do (the only annihilation i've done is the 1st one they show you in the tutorial)
i know the staircases but wtf is the x in the middle
You get devices which give Deploy limit when you throw DP at them
X is drone spawner for WD enemies
Thats drone hangar, wifi guys will call it and coming from this
There will be enemies producing offensive/healing drones on conditions
wdym?? they regen dp for you like vanguards??
@woeful spade
id suggest doing the monthly squads that give you guard and vanguard chips so you can E2 Ines and SA soon
if the monthly squad requirement says get to floor 3 you're gonna have to do it in one run
if it's something like deploy this op 10 times or use this skill 10 times, the progress carries over so there's no pressure to get it done all in one run
Nah you give them DP to get deploy slots. It is delayed so you can't activate them before they fill SP bar
you can do other monthly squads too for the exp and lmd to help you level your ops
Like you get 4 or 5 deploy slots and pay DP one time tax for +1 per device
oh wait.....those are called command terminals?? damn ok i see it now
but they're the lamp thingies right?? they dont look like the icon on the wiki
it also give module blocks, which is good upgrade for SA later
I don't know which wiki you look up, that icon could be their skill icon or something
the terra one
this is the icon....doesnt look like it lol
thanks a lot! I was getting the chips from here. i will try what you said now. also is the monthly squad a monthly thing? I mean that I have to do every month?
for IS5 it's once a month yeah
but for all the previous ones, all the monthly squads are available for you to do
Nah thats just term because before the mode concluded they are released each month
Monthly squads are things that release monthly when a IS is in development
After the IS is done updating, they are all available permanently forever
Activate these things with DP after they charge up to get +1 deployment limit
Pretty sure it is skill icon of them
They will regen after activated, u can also let them die on annihilation. It wont reduce the reward
Only on annihilation ofc
then its good, no need to panic and hurry
They are perma
yeah no need to rush, take your time
Personally - spawn killed shit out of that annihilation, top right canceled by good pusher with healing, bottom left low stats, bullies loop like 3 times
thanks! I understand it now, at least somewhat
Hopefully, i want that to be real
How does Dragon Banana's targeting work
The dragon boss? Its like any other enemy, last deployed and affected by aggro prio
Should I bother with the burn plant
But doesn't it have skills which target only stuff inside fire to mess with you?
Still easier to understand than IW dragon having different specialized targeting on each skill 
You don’t have to, just like 99% of mechanics you can brute force it
just nice to have the burn plant because if you kill dragon too close to the middle thicket it can produce spine on the left side of the thicket, and the burn plant can help kill the spine
dragon go rawrrgh and all of your ops go 
that was how i did it lol
used logos and typhon to nuke the everloving shit out of it
Alright, managed to shit on the dragon
Chat. Can i beat 12-9 with those?
Yea
Use better skills tho
Ascalon s2, yu s2, necrass s3
Yeah i was just experimenting with it
My issue is with the revealing thing
Idk they ignore the block
I wont lie, no idea what 12-9 even is now
12-19*
Oh this is another case of “didn’t notice the special enemy”
?

Check what the mobs do.
One of them makes the civvies unblockable when they exist/not blocked
@acoustic slate
so
its weird because i do have every single unit to nuke him
and i do nuke him

Well
The one that’s left alive
How? Do the ops run out of time?
Or is it split boxed differently in the auto, so the furthest one is out of reach?
p much this, i guess its more about "brute force attempts until u make it work" type of issue
just wondering is someone had a tip for this
Are you using Yu s2?
no, i was using typhon and degenbretcher for p1 and Wis for p2
Uhhh Wis does have a bit of rng that manages to bypass autodeploy seed but it’s fairly minor, unless you’re relying on s3 splash alone to kill the thingies.
nah, just for the boss
although, i think i may have just done it out of sheer luck
my pozy turret that i placed to reveal the bunny just coincidentally was placed facing the spot that may contain a dragon thingymabob and manages to kill it in time when the auto changes
Seems the best strategy to win is recording proof so the universe makes it work just to make u look stupider
what is the monthly squad in IS and how do I get to it? I see 'monthly contract'
Middle bottom of the is menu
if you haven't unlocked it yet, start and quit a run to unlock monthly squad in that integrated strategies
are you talking about "Storyteller list"?
or "deep exploration"
Yes iirc, storyteller
But deep explorations has mats too, it will just be harder
how accurate are the recommended operator levels in general? i'm struggling on EA-8 (most of my operators are below E2-10 but i am borrowing a wisadel so its probably just skill issue)
Those are fraud
Dont rely on it its kinda whatever, comfy level doesn't exist.
Also if underleveled probably takes forever in auto. so yea farming grindstone also option
i'm not trying to farm it, i just want to complete the story
i've been farming EA-1 
U can try to farm grindstone
in my experience you can safely clear most stages that suggest E2 Lvl10 with about 4-6 operators that are E2'd, depending on the operators and the stage
its mostly up to strategy
In summary whatever
i see
i have brigid at e2-80 and quartz at e2-1
also pramanix e2 but i don't know if she would be useful on this stage

U can use both at intersection, tho brigid alone only reduce phase1 around 75%. Surely just bait harder on 2nd phase. Krooster have easy time compared to her tho. (If talking about 5*)
I don't have Krooster i think
i already solved that one
i can auto ea-6
i had to use a borrowed wisadel on ea-7 though
Yea keep farm on ea-6, thats most ppl do. Even old timer lacking grindstone
ok
Why is brigid e2 max
brigid is cool
Sharing..
He did it with his own work. Stage might be done with Deepcolor solo or some shi. But still his own completed run is his achievement.


Meanwhile me

Was it really an FRD spamfest back in Icebreaker 1?
I don't remember
I get Ya2 and Tex2. They were still the top operators during those times.
but Red, Kafka, Phantom, and SA talent?
FRD?
Fast redeploy
if futbol game carried statistics that hard
there'd be a LOT more Guardians or defenders
and also Weedy
it's most likely considering all game modes total usage
i want to try this game mode but i am worried that people will get annoyed with me (because new-ish player?)
the few times i played futbol, only 2 things mattered.
defenders doing actual futbol defender role blocking any worthwhile enemies
and weedy
just have fun
there's 2 difficulties
just pace it out on the easier one
some of these can be carried by a single player
so just have a blast
also there are players willing to carry
this discord will most likely open an Icebreaker channel
ask for help there if you really need to be carried
Go away icebreaker
I hear skill issue
I'm not really looking forward to icebreaker, but I'll do whatever it takes for rewards I guess
i'll just keep saying this
there will most likely be players that are willing to carry
just get them and don't make their gameplay worse
The match up usually fair, u will get paired with stacked roster most of the time. Just watch em playing while u can relax
i see
iirc
there's even an option
stronger players can press
where they will get queued with newbies or lower level players
it's actually one of the medals iirc
A lot ppl will do that
plus
Its just voluntary
if you're a new player
with barely any operator knowledge
its fun to watch the stronger players who play with you
as for me its vise versa
I wanna see the non-meta or the less knowledgeable players on how they play
The enemies just whatever for stacked roster
I wonder how many goddamn Guard Thorns i'm gonna see again
Even for non meta
he was already washed in icebreakers 1
yeah maybe it's this one?
"merit medals"
or was the perk with letting weaker players queue with you just that you get more EXP rewards?
No, thats just smt like star on stage
Leading newb just voluntary
Has nothing to do with medals
If that was the case, I wouldnt have done that
But I did
There must be some small catch that gives minor perks
Maybe its the big exp for the day or better exp gain
I did too, but yea maybe smt else like that. The rewards capped anyway
Debating on whether or not I spark Eyjaberry
Do we think not having Eyjaberry for another year is going to be suffering?
Or is borrowing her with Haruka going to be enough?
Medic Roster for context
idk ive only used Eyja2 for like 1 stage so far
not having an op feels fine unless youre going giga optimization for a stage
Lol, no
🫡
Dont spark eyjaberry
Haruka will be better for general goober content
You should be fine honestly. With Haruka and Mon3tr coming, you'll have powerful Medics that rival Eyjaberry healing prowess.
Appreciate it, I generally don't need her but when she's useful she's almost not replaceable
She is more used for Elemental Injury if anything
She honestly is
Shes definetly helpful in stages with string elem dmg
But theres not many of those
Post Mon3tr and Haruka that is
And global healing
looking at this screenshot makes me think i tried to level too many ops
Yeah, I'll be getting Hoshi and Haruka and stopping then, don't need Chen either
what the helly
I like planning, it saves me pulls and disappointment
I have around 1100 pulls saved rn, hopefully I don't have to go to pity too many time 
i'm fairly new and have been using my pulls to get the 5* from each banner so i have like 20 pulls
U fell for obvious trap, guaranteed 5* is big waste. Just save for actual good banner
why is it a big waste? (i am saving for exusiai banner now)
Cuz 90% of 5* are trash not worth using
5s generally are not very strong in comparison to 6* operators when it comes to material investment
is it not fun to have a lot of characters to use?
Pulling good banner right away (like exu u mentioned) still far better. Technically u wasted 10 exusia chance every pull u spent on random bs
50 chance for if its 5 banner smh
They will come to you eventually (5* and 4, even the whatever 6*) offrate exist
oh right that makes sense
U wont use them
Thats the thing

It's nice, but it's very expensive in terms of materials
And the biggest problem is you'll not want to use them when you get the 6* versions of their respective archetypes
Here are all the 5* operators I've built, I barely use any of them
not even lappland and specter?
Theres no point to them
They are okay when it comes to 5*
But they dont compare to using 6*
Lappland kinda falls off when you get into more advanced gameplay, as the general strategy turns into "don't get hit"
Just dont pull random banner anymore thats it
She's very good for newer players and I always recommend her
i don't even have specter yet, i keep hoping to get her from recruitment 
Planner done, thanks for the Eyjaberry info
The first L2D outfit
I forgot to buy it last time it was around, I'm still mad at myself for forgetting
I bought this one because Toland there
i didnt buy this one because his head was small
Do u want oversized like mudrock
wa, mudrock head isnt oversized 
Can say the same with mlynar
yeah mlynar head isnt oversized because it's undersized
I know ppl be making this and none of them fulfilled by the time the banner come

That's why I don't plan for shiet and just Yolo it

I could've made the run exclusively low-stars allstars but my Purestream investment/promotion is neglected. I'm also not sure if she can survive the fire like Whisperain did.
who’s ready to aak people’s wisadel? 
Hold my Sora s2 in those dire times
Wdym you dont enjoy playing w 3k ping
I hope they fixed RNG giving me same fucking map 20 times in row when medal need several unique stages 
your fault for leaving it up to chance
just host the damn thing
and pick the map you want
Hey chat, new to the game.. just wondering who I should invest in for my healers please 🥺
Susurro
I read that she has like an attack speed steroid
Oh wow it's both ATK and ATK speed 40%
Say no more xD
Also, same question but for tanks please?
It's usually Gummy since she heals as well. But if you want a tankier option, Cuora
Copy, thank you!
Cuora and spot
Purestream is also quite strong and needs e1 for base skill
anyone got a Naran i can borrow
She is up but maintenance is on 8 mins so..
well thanks haha
i will do it after maintenance
trying to clear as much as sanity as possible right now
@regal frost yo
hi
You ready for Icebreaker Games
ofc
I should probably do the same
Why? And whats the icebreaker mechanic looks like? Good reward, or just for fun (like Cc reward)
it's free rewards since it's 0 sanity
it's also co-op so flanyr purged his list with the intention of helping people
Oh its mt, i forgor bruh. Average failed IS run
I forgot too, used to maintenance starting earlier
Okay thx! Just saw yt on that event.. looks refreshing
Beautiful voice 👍
Go get mentored, someone will carry you
mentored?
basically veteran players have the option to help new players through random match making
🫡
If you replay the stage 100 times maybe you'll meet me 
But yeah I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of volunteers willing to help
you have two weeks to play, no rush
