#

which one to choose guys? I'm trying to clear ending 4

modern plover
#

The option is only either you pick ed1 or ed2 fight before you fight ed4

#

1st option is ed2
2nd option is ed1

rich crow
#

Okay thanks

pearl compass
#

Choose 1 is Theresis
Choose 2 is Fremont

#

Is silverash good guys?

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"

south spindle
haughty wave
#

need a melee to cover the vis range of the middle spawn

#

to prevent from growing

south spindle
#

Ah well the longest melee ranges you can find is probably a lord guard

#

3* Midnight is one

haughty wave
#

kinda sucks this info is not readily available and/or easily searchable

#

in game i mean

#

on sites maybe i just didn't see

south spindle
#

errr i think its pretty specific info

#

this events pretty unique

haughty wave
#

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?

south spindle
#

so 3* spot, 4* gummy

haughty wave
#

epic, have both

#

thank you

Retelling

#

Rerolling

regal frost
#

making a new account in order to get different 6*s, come to help though people there can explain better

ripe saffron
#

Why should I reset ny progress

regal frost
#

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

ripe saffron
#

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

Just reveal the red box asap

#

So you dont get overwhelmed with eggs

azure roost
#

just use aa to reveal boxes early

stiff thistle
#

Oh the eggs don’t come if you reveal the boxes?

azure roost
#

the burning plant side is easy

stiff thistle

I tried revealing the boxes before but then I got overrun with the end point monsters

I never really know which skill to select

Yea lol

why is brigid max lv HellaHands

stiff thistle
#

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

full finch
#

wait
are you actually supposed to just use contrail to block the boss when it flies?

#

it's such a pain in the ass CeobeConfused

#

HG working overtime to defeat brute forcing again

stiff thistle
#

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

full finch
#

I already did but I had to think first

azure roost
#

just bruteforce harder

full finch
#

no point in having shaw unless you're pushing something

#

unless you got nothing better

stiff thistle
#

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

full finch
#

fandom SwireKek

stiff thistle
#

Useful

#

That’s where I was looking but I thought it said it unlocked at e2

full finch
#

there you go

stiff thistle
#

I guess it’s saying it improves at e2

full finch
#

1s at E1, 5s at E2

p5 adds +1s

5 seconds is a huge upgrade

@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

barren crescent
#

Is that frostnova different from 6-16 frostnova?

barren crescent
#

Cause im struggling in 6 16

#

So can the same method be applied to 6 16?

quaint rivet
#

That makes more sense and I’m not sure

barren crescent
#

How do you guys would kill it

quaint rivet
#

Sorry didn’t know which version you were talking about

narrow pendant
#

Cant exactly "1v1" her cu, her attacks perma freeze

#

So using ranged is easier

barren crescent

Does her tiles destroying attack target tiles with ops specifically?

upbeat jay
#

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.

pearl compass
#

He has two.

#

And you probably fucked up the Trimmed Medal by saying this.

upbeat jay
#

I thought I saw the HP bar empty three times total but I probably didn't read it right.

narrow pendant
#

Cuz he can infinitely return ti phase one

#

(On the ground)

#

Phase 2 is when hes flying

dapper hedge
#

Boss only has 2 phase btw

#

Phase1 repeat if you dont clear out crystals

Boss is less pain than last time we had infinite revives phase 1 knight FrankaWheeze

regal spoke
#

@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

upbeat jay
#

Clear out crystals?

pearl compass
#

The same will spawn when dragon dies.

upbeat jay
#

Admittedly I wasn't paying enough attention lol

pearl compass
#

If you fail to destroy ALL of them

#

Phase 1 will reborn

Endlessly.

#

And that fucks the Trimmed Medal condition.

upbeat jay
#

Lucky me that it only repeated once.

Which makes you do first try on this.

atleast i passed the mission

full terrace
#

Bring more bodies to stall if the Defenders are not enough

#

Fang, Yato, those that got 2 Blocks

regal spoke
#

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

full terrace
#

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

regal spoke
#

okay

full terrace
#

She will kill them just fine

regal spoke

i mean i dont even know why im just bringing tequila and the defenders when i got slots for more snipers lmao

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.

on 9-19 how do u knock the guy down to deal damage to him

glass monolith

If hovering enemy - Stun or kill
If boss of chapter 9 - Drop pillar on that cat or kill despite 60% or whatever DR DocSmile

regal spoke
#

dude he dodges my pillars

#

😭

full terrace
#

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.

Good boy

twin jacinth
#

With the 'emergency lecture' foe in IS5, what is the correct way to deal with the stupid coffin thing he does

narrow pendant
#

Play smart

#

Retreat ops in range of already deployed range

south spindle
#

Just know when he does the teleport thing, once he points his wand up he won’t tp any operators you put down after

twin jacinth
#

also what does 100 investment do, 'can cannot show you his wares?' isn't very descriptive lol

south spindle
#

But you have to play a stage

twin jacinth
#

👀

south spindle
#

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

narrow pendant
#

Its like irl

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

lean cloud
#

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

maiden hound
#

if you lv80 surfer the enemy dies faster and you have less dp DocSmile

narrow pendant
#

Should stop doing max lvl unless u promote right after

#

Also

#

Give up on xing

next wigeon

It doesn't conflict with what I said yeah

#

E1 Max Caper is perfectly serviceable

lean cloud
#

Let me check who is Caper

next wigeon
#

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

#

Im planning to e2 Yu. Since i got all his materials. But i dont really use him that much

narrow pendant
#

Yiu really should stop doing max level unless youre e2 right after

lean cloud
#

Ok. Just leave them at lv 1?

acoustic slate
#

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

lean cloud
#

Got it

#

I used to think that i should max units with max potential

#

Since is hard to get their copies

narrow pendant

Uh, no

They give more stats and reduce deploy points. But i guess u r right, im new, so got wrong ideas

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?)

south spindle
rich crow
#

These are my built 5 and 6*

south spindle
#

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

rich crow
south spindle
#

Also, shop rob for chalice gurantee exists

rich crow
south spindle
#

need 2 medics pref with global or wide range

#

so eyjaberry, silence, purestream goood choice

rich crow
#

I only have ejaberry and lumen with wide range

south spindle
#

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

rich crow
#

Hmmm maybe I should build purestream/silence then

south spindle
#

E1 max is enough

rich crow
#

I’m kind of short on mastery resource because I want to save and M6 mon3tr

south spindle
#

Skil level 7

#

you don't need to E2 or give masteries

rich crow
#

Then I should have enough lmd

south spindle
#

Also, your vanguard drafts should be Surfer/Cantabile

#

Ines is too expensive to draft hopewise

rich crow
#

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

rich crow
south spindle
#

nah that shouldn't be possible with wisadel rosmo draft

#

Do you have Greyyalter btw?

rich crow
#

Yes, but not built

south spindle
#

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

rich crow
#

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

south spindle
#

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

rich crow
#

Yes I agree. She is much more comfy to use at E1 than anyone else

south spindle
#

Also you really need to pay attention/manage fremont's DR mechanic

wicked minnow
rich crow
#

DR? Fremont is the ed1 boss?

south spindle
#

I would say its not high enough 🥹

#

Like 1.7K DPH

#

I guess

#

Krooster also works

wicked minnow
#

krooster dph is high enough bruh

south spindle

At that point for a reason

#

Okay guys let’s help a poor pretty new player with IS5😭

south spindle
#

how is narantuya ASPD issues fraudulent

wicked minnow
#

my false arguement as the boomerang takes at least 17 logos attack intervals to get back to narantuya

south spindle
#

i mean you want me to graph

#

narantuya ASPD fall off

#

or did DragonGJY do it before ya i wanna be lazy

rich crow
#

How about nymph?

south spindle
#

Nymph is same hand as Logos, works fine

vocal leaf
rich crow
#

Who should I pick after logos, between lapallter and nymph?

south spindle
#

all of her kit has ASPD issues...

#

the travel time is strict

south spindle
#

she has Hand of Undulation which also has a a book

vocal leaf
wicked minnow
#

even when they are close, she only scales so much with aspd

south spindle
#

Okay thats a terribly specific condition
and still its static

wicked minnow
#

she stops scaling at like +80 aspd ReedBean

south spindle
#

do not make me make a 3d graph to roast you

rich crow
wicked minnow
#

you already did this graph before, light. this is cheating

south spindle
#

no i didnt

#

oh well

#

i did

#

i mean i didnt do a ASPD graph

south spindle
vocal leaf
rich crow
south spindle
#

okay dont do your taxes DocSmile

rich crow
#

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?

south spindle
#

yes "Broken Wand Undulation" or something

rich crow
#

I thought she only had the +sp everytime she hits

south spindle
#

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

rich crow

A question about ulp: should I only pick him when I have a lot initial sp/attackspeed after deployment?

wicked minnow
# rich crow So in anyscale it should be less effective with attackspeed buff?

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

Not really no

Her dmg isnt bad, but uts single target

There is other sniper that can solo it too. Forgot her name.. was something like Naya

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

@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

glass monolith
#

Nah you give them DP to get deploy slots. It is delayed so you can't activate them before they fill SP bar

regal frost
#

you can do other monthly squads too for the exp and lmd to help you level your ops

glass monolith
#

Like you get 4 or 5 deploy slots and pay DP one time tax for +1 per device

shrewd fractal
#

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

Still easier to understand than IW dragon having different specialized targeting on each skill LappDumb

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

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*)
