strategy

[vestal badge]

managed to solve the right side but gravel isnt enough

[full terrace]

Actually the biggest problem for this stage

[vestal badge]

after she dies cardigan still gets 1 shot

[full terrace]

So the logic is like this

[vestal badge]

then mountain

[full terrace]

The Assassin

After losing his Invisibility

Be it chained

Or blocked

The first hit he does

Will be this stabbing animation

And that hurts

And then after that, you got 0.x secs

To block him

And the game will recognize that as "no longer first hit"

If you let him walk

Like 0.5 tiles

He will regain this first hit

[tame rain]

need 0.5x time

[full terrace]

And you'll get another stabbing animation

So what you want to do

Is to wait for the Assassin

Walk up a bit

Look at his shadow

His shadow is his real position

Not his sprite

When his shadow/circle

Is slightly above the mid section of that tile

Deploy Gravel on top of him

Gravel will push him up

This is called blockshifting

Blockshift will move the enemy to the edge of Gravel's shadow/circle below her feet

Since you blockshifted him up

Now this Assassin's shadow/position

Overlap on both Cardigan tile and Gravel tile

Right in-between

Enemy that stands on in-between tiles like this

Can be hit from both tiles

This is called splitboxing

So the idea is that, you wait for the Assassin to walk up a bit, above the midsection of that tile so that when you deploy Gravel on top of him he got pushed "up"

Gravel blocks, he got pushed up and now in the block range of both Gravel and Cardigan

But since Gravel is blocking him

He does his first hit on Gravel
Now Gravel dies and he got blocked by Cardigan instantly the moment Gravel dies

[vestal badge]

someone passed on the left while i was looking at the assassin

think i wasted over 25 sanity already

just trying this level

[ornate heart]

Just use practice tickets

[full terrace]

25 Sanity for a knowledge that you will use for the remaining of your Arknights journey

I'd say thats a win

I failed 534 times trying to make a working Low-End strat for BB-S-4

Guess how much Sanity I have wasted

You are still at the point where you got the strat and just get things to work according to the strat, there will come a time where you must make the strat yourself unless you wanna watch guides forever

[vestal badge]

WAIT WHAT

i thought that used 1 sanity

cause it said -1

and i was like "if it wastes them anyway"

[glass monolith]

it uses 1 ticket, you get 30 free daily

well -3 if you do CM

I believe CN server got QoL to not lose sanity on defeat at all at some point this year?

[full terrace]

You still got the Practice Plans? I tiought you used those up

[vestal badge]

next update iirc

so cant use it bb yet lol

[tame rain]

Its kinda crazy how small the interval between the assassin resetting is tho

[full terrace]

And thats why you need some crazy deploy timing on BB-S-4 Low-End

Not for the faint-hearted

[vestal badge]

crazy how in bb-7 i can literally afk after 11/33

they really dont want newbies getting gels

[full terrace]

Some stages are easy, some are hard

[tame rain]

So the assasssin still does giga damage even once you aggro it

Like after you break the stealth or whatever.

If I reveal him with SA hes no issue?

So I reveal him with the talent of SA but he still did his giga hit

[glass monolith]

"Next attack after invisibility"

[tame rain]

Oh

So I guess if gravel eats it its fine

[vestal badge]

@full terrace btw the newbie advice in pins i cant even see cause imgur doesnt work here

[astral cosmos]

https://imgur.com/jhAaqaY

is it this one

(newbie selectors?)

wait I misread the question

https://imgur.com/jhAaqaY.png

that?

[full terrace]

Well there you go, ReChord sent it

Light my guy, made infographic now

What is the release date of your newbie guide again? @south spindle

😏

[vestal badge]

thanks

this event stunlocked me i swear

still havent done 4-4 lol

feels weird to do the summer event rn for tequila

i even skipped every dialogue in bb

[astral cosmos]

the uh video? we're doing it conjointly... we uh... kinda, yk... lazy... a bit......

[full terrace]

Oh I thought he is doing it alone

[static geyser]

Can someone help me. I'm following Arflanyr guide on bb-6 and my hibiscus keeps dying. I replaced her with silence and still dies.

[static geyser]

Help. Lol

[full terrace]

What level is your Hibiscus and Silence

They should not die normally

[static geyser]

Silence e1 lvl 30 and hibiscus e1 lvl 1 because I haven't leveled her and used silence instead

[full terrace]

Silence should work

[static geyser]

She keeps dying haha

I have her on S1 though

[full terrace]

When did she die

[static geyser]

Should I switch it

[full terrace]

Did she die just now

Right in this pic

[static geyser]

A couple seconds before

She died to the guns at the top

[full terrace]

Yeah you see

Your problem is that

You replaced Popukar with Cuora, and you lack dps because of that

Enemies are not dying

And so Steward

Hits the enemies instead of the tower

The tower that keeps hitting Silence

The solution is simple

Bring both Silence and Hibiscus

[static geyser]

Popukar isn't leveled at all that's why

[full terrace]

You say a couple secs ago right?

You got 19 DP there

[static geyser]

Like 2 seconds ago

[full terrace]

So you got enough DP to deploy Hibiscus

Deploy Hibiscus to the right of Kroos

Facing up

To heal your Silence

[static geyser]

Alright lemme try again

Do I deploy her after beagle?

[full terrace]

Before Beagle is safer

So her first and then Beagle

But you can also do Beagle first if Silence survives that long

[static geyser]

Who would be better than cuora to place there

I have lappland

[full terrace]

Cuora is fine, Kroos and Steward will kill all ememies eventually

It just takes time

[static geyser]

Ah okay. Anyone from that image I sent? Or just stick with cuora

[south spindle]

Uhm no datamining

[full terrace]

You can try Lappland if you want, but Cuora is fine

[static geyser]

S1 or S2?

[full terrace]

Actually instead of Hibiscus

Bring Gavial

[full terrace]

S2

[static geyser]

S1 or 2

[full terrace]

Gavial S1

[tame rain]

ayo

why does the fucking asssasin take no damage

Literally had like 4-5 units hitting in for like 40 seconds and it took like 5% dmg

[static geyser]

Now Steward died 😂

[full terrace]

It has 800 Defense thats why. You need someone with ATK above 800 to deal real damage

Or use Arts instead

[tame rain]

Isnt its res even higher

[static geyser]

Any other recommendation?

[tame rain]

its A+

dEF ONLY B+

[full terrace]

Did you get to deploy Beagle there?

Steward dies because Beagle isnt there to tank for him

Change of plan then, deploy Beagle first and then Gavial

Actually hold on

[static geyser]

In your video you place Steward before beagle

[full terrace]

How much Defense does your Gavial have

And Silence

[full terrace]

Yes but you are adding Gavial now Beagle deployment is delayed

[static geyser]

110 and 101

[full terrace]

Thats the reason he dies

[static geyser]

Oop

[full terrace]

Wait not Defense sorry

Their Res

And their HP

[full terrace]

Assassin has 60 RES, so your Arts will only get cut by 60%

40% still get in

[static geyser]

So what should I do then lol

Because I'm planning to just farm bb-6 not 7

[full terrace]

What RES do they have

Gavial and Silence

[static geyser]

0

Lol

[full terrace]

What about their HP?

Which one is higher

[static geyser]

1269 and 1311

[full terrace]

Okay use the one with 1311

[static geyser]

Gavial and silence

Ok

[full terrace]

Okay Silence first

Above Cuora

Then Steward and Beagle

And then Gavial

Next to Kroos

[static geyser]

But beagle before Steward right

[full terrace]

After

Steward first and then Beagle

[static geyser]

Then he dies

[full terrace]

He will not

[static geyser]

Because that's exactly how I've been doing it but I'll try again

[full terrace]

In the video

[static geyser]

Should silence be S1 or 2

[full terrace]

Anyway opening is mathematical, Steward dies previously because you inserted a Gavial before Beagle deployment. Beagle isnt deployed = enemies from top left will hit Steward = everything falls apart. What you want to do this time, is to deploy Steward and Beagle first, and then Gavial

[full terrace]

Silence S2

When you see that she is dying, deploy her drone to heal her up

Or like this

Since you use Cuora anyway

[vestal badge]

do i also get the potential thing for him?

or just p0 enough

[astral cosmos]

you could

p1 btw

[full terrace]

Deploy Gavial first, below Cuora

[astral cosmos]

p0 is if u don't have the op

[vestal badge]

i thought p1 was 1 line

oh when it doesnt show on operator screen its 1 line

im silly cause i was thinking of how it looks like there

[static geyser]

And just continue like normal like in the video once everyone survives?

[full terrace]

Yeah

[static geyser]

Oop someone got past haha

[full terrace]

Yeah thats the main problem you lack dps now that you use Cuora instead of Popukar

The fix is simple

[static geyser]

Damn

[full terrace]

Deploy your Lappland behind Cuora

Like 2 tiles behind her

[static geyser]

When?

[full terrace]

Before Lava

Actually no

[static geyser]

But I won't have enough dp

[full terrace]

Yeah your DP

So the DP that you use for the 2nd Medic

Use it for Lappland first

[static geyser]

What about fang or something

[full terrace]

And then that Medic

Can use Fang yeah

Actually

If you put Fang there first a lot of things gonna be solved instantly

[static geyser]

Or courier?

[full terrace]

Courier better yea

Hold on

[fringe solstice]

You're welcome

[static geyser]

Damn so close

This is where I'm at so far @full terrace

[full terrace]

Yeah hmm there is a problem with your dps

You need someone to deal more damage somewhere

Lemme think

[fringe solstice]

he has tequila e2 surely that will work

[acoustic slate]

Maybe he should e1 his mlynar that rerolled for

[glass monolith]

Do lancer damage on passing over? Won't Melanta on chain cutting guy assist enough?

[static geyser]

Maybe you should stay blocked 👁️👄👁️

[vestal badge]

i got tequila s1 now, will it help with bb-8? 🙂

[full terrace]

Tequila will work but can you manage him?

[glass monolith]

FAFO is amazing strategy in this game unless you want to be guide carried forever

[full terrace]

Lemme run you a quick simulation

[vestal badge]

idk what to do cause he's a 0 blocker

[full terrace]

Ah but my Tequila has M3 hmm

[vestal badge]

want me to stream it?

[static geyser]

Lmao it's fine I'll figure it out 😂 people are getting butt hurt that I'm using the discord for it's intended purpose 😂

[glass monolith]

Tequila does block when activated... Oh btw he still generate chains, doubt it will help with map in question but for future

[fringe solstice]

I just tested tequila slv 7 works

[vestal badge]

this is the tequila in question btw

dont have enough mats to get him to e2

[tame rain]

what about the free shit

[vestal badge]

once he is e2 i can 80 him

[tame rain]

but what about the E2 thing you got

[astral cosmos]

[tame rain]

[static geyser]

Who'd you place below hibiscus?

[fringe solstice]

gummy

[vestal badge]

[astral cosmos]

"other person" isn't very knowledgeable

[static geyser]

I have gummy lvl 30 e1

Should I use it

[vestal badge]

i think they have all the units in the game so i took their word

[astral cosmos]

didn't seem to meliorate their advice

[static geyser]

And what skill is she set to

[astral cosmos]

either way, eh ok whatever

[fringe solstice]

s2

It should help so you don't need another medic

[static geyser]

I'm guessing you placed them in the same order

[fringe solstice]

Yes I believe so. However, I placed tequila first then activated his skill to test the damage.

I was worried gummy, kroos wouldn't be enough

[full terrace]

Here @static geyser

You basically activate Tequila skill after the 3 Grand Knights get past him and thats it, thats the only issue in this stage

[full terrace]

You got to 17/26 so this is just the final wave

Tequila will fix that but you need to manage his timing

It's a one time only management since you gonna auto this stage anyway

Oh also, you can bring Cuora as well

And then after you deploy Tequila

Retreat Courier and then deploy Cuora in his place

That way you get more toughness

And stability

[acoustic slate]

I offered that as a suggestion for the people helping you; I didn’t know if you posted your roster for them, and they said you needed damage. I assumed you wouldn’t read it, as I have no control over whether or not I “stay blocked”

[static geyser]

Stay blocked 😂

[vestal badge]

fellas just talk about that stuff elsewhere

[acoustic slate]

Good luck guys

[vestal badge]

can you look at my run in rhine lab and help me there?

[astral cosmos]

if you could avoid bitching around here and taking it to dms instead, that'd be fantastic

[vestal badge]

wait why wont it let me stream the game

[static geyser]

Clock that tea!!!!!!! finger snaps

[full terrace]

Uh.. I got like 15 mins left if thats okay with you

[fringe solstice]

probably not
#strategy message
You will probably have to use gravel to block. Here is a video of me doing it. You can ignore mlynar, jess alter and narantuya

[vestal badge]

discord wont let me stream it for some reason

maybe cause im new to the server

[full terrace]

Here you go, extreme chaining and stable auto @static geyser

My Ansel = your Silence. I made sure that the Grand Knights are slowed right in front of Cuora so that she takes miniscule damage

[full terrace]

Did you disable your mic permission?

[vestal badge]

ye

[static geyser]

Why do your ops cost less?

[vestal badge]

still wont work

it instantly says "how'd stream go?"

is play store games not streamable?

[south spindle]

Everyone can stream

So has to be device issue if anything

[full terrace]

Potentials

Should not be that much of an issue

Try it first

[ember field]

Does anyone has link yt low rarity for stage this?

[full terrace]

Mic needs permission otherwise you cant stream, I had similar issue back then

[ember field]

All afk strategy

[full terrace]

Use better keyword

[full terrace]

LE-EX-6 LOW END

[ember field]

I only have this

[vestal badge]

connected both to my audio interface and gave permission

[full terrace]

Try streaming then

As long as you give discord permission to use your mic

You can stream

App permission

[vestal badge]

i can see it when doing mic test

like the gain goes up when i speak

im on desktop btw

[full terrace]

Yes

[compact ferry]

Wrong channel

[full terrace]

Its fine to ask in this channel too

Both are in help category

[compact ferry]

Ah

[full terrace]

You just wont get swifter response

[compact ferry]

I just like need a healer other than sussurro and shining

[full terrace]

Her heal isnt that great

She is used for something else

If you want a burst healer, raise Ptilopsis

[compact ferry]

Oh?

[fringe solstice]

she increases res so you take less arts damage

[compact ferry]

Oh that's gonna be good

[vestal badge]

i can share paint but not the game lmao @full terrace

[compact ferry]

Ah don't have her

[full terrace]

I dont know about desktop bro, you can maybe ask my friend @south spindle about it, he streams daily

[south spindle]

I’m away

[vestal badge]

hi away! 👋

[south spindle]

But I don’t know any reason for your emulator to not be stream able

What device are you on

[vestal badge]

pc

[south spindle]

Windows?

[vestal badge]

im using the google games app

[south spindle]

Discord App itself?

Or browser

[vestal badge]

app

paint i can stream just fine

[south spindle]

Regardless screenshot bottom left of your screen where it shows you’re connected to vc

[obsidian rain]

Ldplayer?

[vestal badge]

it's just the game i cant

[vestal badge]

#strategy message

[south spindle]

There’s no problem with GPG

[obsidian rain]

What is the can’t factor

[south spindle]

Like how about rest of your screens

[obsidian rain]

Like is it lag does it crash or

[vestal badge]

it wont even start

[south spindle]

Can you not stream your discord webrowsers etc

[vestal badge]

like it shows the preview before and when i press stream nothing happens

[south spindle]

That sounds like a tech issue unfortunately

[vestal badge]

i can stream anything else

[south spindle]

Ah

So just not GPG

[vestal badge]

it stops here

[south spindle]

Gotcha it just shows black?

Uh are you playing on full screen

[vestal badge]

yea

[south spindle]

Unfullsvreen

And try again

Restart computer and try again if still fried

[vestal badge]

didnt help

[obsidian rain]

Are you sure you wana keep using gpg?

[south spindle]

I know I had issues streaming with full screened emulator before but special circumstances

LDPlaywr is generally more stable in my experience too

[obsidian rain]

Why not just use like ld or something

But also I’ve never seen that discord ss menu

Is that a new update?

[south spindle]

I mean GPG works well for some people

It just depends

[vestal badge]

i tried ldplayer before on a different game but then i heard it installs malicious stuff so im cautious of still using it on my new pc

well "newer"

[obsidian rain]

Uhhhhhh I can’t straight up deny if there is malware but I can give you prob a 90% guarantee it won’t have malware

[south spindle]

Uh that’s interesting, never had any issues and Im in tabs with my tech

GPG has caused more issues for me

[obsidian rain]

Soo it’s either insanely well at hiding its malware or there is none

[south spindle]

Well rather I know more people yuh GPG issues

[vestal badge]

well i can do this

lol

[obsidian rain]

What google product doesn’t have issues

[fringe solstice]

from my knowledge of gpg, it creates a vm to run an android emulator

[south spindle]

Also can you just try to share entire desktop instead

[vestal badge]

yeah im sharing screen now

[south spindle]

Oh it works? Nice

[vestal badge]

guess arf already left lmao

[obsidian rain]

I’m pretty sure that’s what a majority of emulators do

Could be wrong tho

[south spindle]

Yeah probably gpu doesn’t like the lack of some VM compatibility software

Forgot what it’s called

[static geyser]

Yeah my beagle doesn't do enough damage so people leak through

[vestal badge]

yep, even google uses hypervisor

[vestal badge]

now who can help me with bb-8

[south spindle]

@full terrace would love to

[obsidian rain]

I love bb-8

[full terrace]

So its fine now or is there an issue still?

Also point your Tequila up

[static geyser]

No people leak through and then my cuora can't kill all of them in time

[full terrace]

So point your Tequila up then

And when Beagle blocks 3 enemies

Activate Tequila skill

And have him slash them

[full terrace]

Your Beagle and Cuora arent suppose to kill anything

It's your Kroos and Steward doing the killings

[full terrace]

Yeah I got like 10 mins for you but I really gotta go after that

[vestal badge]

any tips for pr-d-2 so i can make thorns s2

[full terrace]

Here, this is the maneuver I was talking about

You see how he walks up a bit slightly and Gravel pushes him up

[vestal badge]

which s is gravel using here

[full terrace]

He got sandwiched by Gravel and Cardigan

He did the stab animation on Gravel

And then slashed Cardigan normally

This is what you need to do

[vestal badge]

why didnt it 1hko her

gravel i mean

[full terrace]

Because my Gravel is E1 Max

She got shields

Master that maneuver, have him stab Gravel but slash Cardigan

As long as you get him in that position, stage is done

Its just a slow dps

Also yes E2 Thorns instead of Mountain will help a lot there

Instantly fixed all your issues

[vestal badge]

1 chip pack ezzzz

with wisadel

only 7 more to go

[static geyser]

Damn @full terrace haha I still can't beat it. I'll just wait haha

[full terrace]

Level your Kroos and Steward up

To E1 Lv55

You will clear it

Trust me

[static geyser]

Yeah I might just do that haha I was hoping I didn't have to level anyone up

What is Babel even for?

[static geyser]

Like what am i suppose to be farming from there

[full terrace]

BB-6? Rocks

I mean primarily you want to farm the event currency

Which you use to buy out the shop

There are a lot of stuff in the shop

Like battle records, LMD

Skill books

[limpid ore]

pull

i mean HH ticket

[vocal leaf]

to understand theresa’s past a must read event

[static geyser]

Oh okay haha I bought some headhunting things and orundum but nothing else

[vocal leaf]

even if you don’t read any of the lore, you must read babel, best event

[vestal badge]

When is it "safe" to read it?

After which ch

[limpid ore]

14

[vestal badge]

Oh damn ok

[vocal leaf]

that is good question
babel is like the origin of the conflict, the prequel of darknights memoir which left a lot of unanswered questions back then, but yeah ch14 seems alright

[vestal badge]

There is deadweek between bb and preach, right?

[limpid ore]

arknights stories are tailored to be read in release order than actual chronological order

so you got flashback story arc once in a while

[vocal leaf]

yeah, use that time to farm rocks for pulls copium, red certs or chips for new ops

[limpid ore]

honestly chip

[vestal badge]

I was thinking of using that time for main story lol

[limpid ore]

being chip gated during event is ass

well, i dont have enough chip catalyst now that i remember

[vestal badge]

Im doing chips rn cause i finished the store and want to do gels

Or should i just do orirons until i cant anymore?

[somber falcon]

Farm whichever you need more

[limpid ore]

T4 gel needs oriron to craft

the connundrum

[vestal badge]

got 44 oriron clusters and like 9 gels

[vestal badge]

or get chips for thorns now?

[acoustic slate]

@vestal badge btw don’t read babel until after thirteen not fourteen lol

[vestal badge]

ok

i literally covered my screen during the bb-9 sequence cause it was in combat story

dropped my headphones too

[acoustic slate]

I admire the dedication lol

[somber falcon]

If you really want to have him e2 asap ig
Chips take a lot of sanity tho, and I was just talking abt the mats from events specifically

[limpid ore]

unless you want chip pack in RA shop

[static geyser]

What's the best way of getting exp and stuff to level people up?

[narrow pendant]

Ur base and event shops

[celest bluff]

Orion can be crafted

Gel can't

[wary shuttle]

does windscoot change low end approaches for bb-s4-cm

[south spindle]

didnt change the fslo on arkrec

but i guess not the same as low end

[ornate heart]

Does this maneuever #strategy message also work if the Gravel gets one-shot?

Or am I just mistiming the shift

[elder flume]

as long as assassin doesnt have downtime between Gravel blocking and defender blocking it works

a one shot Gravel may not shift as far so could have tighter timing

[full terrace]

That was meant for Gravel to be one shot yes it works

My Gravel was just too tough because of her shield

She even survives BB-S-4

[ornate heart]

I can't seem to get it to work.

Let me grab a video

[full terrace]

If you get the logic perfectly, it should work

I know this is not an easy maneuver for newbies but you gotta learn it, it will help you a lot in the future

A lot of newbies are like "I dont want to borrow Support Units, I want to learn" this is not how you should do it, learning timing and maneuver like is how you should do it.

Well thats weird

I watched your video

[ornate heart]

Nice, i was struggling to get the video embed working properly

[full terrace]

That never happens to me I wonder if there is anything to do with SA invis reveal

O wait

I know now

Its your chaining

So its like this

You block with Gravel - he stabs Gravel

But since he is not chained

He regains Invisibility

Then SA reveals him

Then he loses that Invisibility

And so the next attack is another stab

Your Beagle chain is behind her, that chain doesnt reach the Assassin

[ornate heart]

So should I place another unit in the bottom left grill for the chain?

[full terrace]

You need to chain your Silence to Purestream

The order of deployment matters a lot in this event

You can do that but I mean

Its better if you fix your deploy order

And chain Silence to Purestream

[ornate heart]

Ok what I usually do is first gravel > kroos > Spot set up and then place Tequila, Silence, and then Kroos2 on right side to assist with dps, after which I place purestream

Should I place purestream before kroos2 then, and will that fix the chaining? or purestream before silence

[full terrace]

You see that Silence of yours

Linked to SilverAsh

[ornate heart]

Ah yea I see

[full terrace]

I'm assuming you used SilverAsh as a replacement to the Plume temporary deploy

[ornate heart]

yes

[full terrace]

In the video, I retreated Plume shortly after

So that removes the chain

And then I deploy a Medic down there

Which creates new chain, to that Medic

So what you should do is

Deploy Gravel first before SilverAsh

Now the chain is linked to Gravel

And SilverAsh not chained

When you retreat Gravel

Chain is gone

Now you deploy Purestream

And your Silence will be linked to Purestream

[ornate heart]

Alright i'll try that

[full terrace]

Best of luck

[ornate heart]

🙏

Also one of the stages in your chapter 4 or chapter 5 guide uses Ling S1M3. I absolutely could not find someone with that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJkhPdTfFuM

[full terrace]

I have Ling S1M3 whats your username

[ornate heart]

Void#0266

I sent you request i think

[full terrace]

I have a few spots reserved for people needing my Support Units, but I purge once in awhile when they are done with the Support Units so that others can use the spots, so just heads up in case you are removed

In the meantime you can search in #friend-id

Accepted, best of luck

Oh ya about your BB-8

You see that Sniper below

I suggest you activate Tequila skill there

And kill it

To make it easier for your Gravel maneuver

[ornate heart]

Well I found an easier timing for the chaining

to link Silence and Purestream I mean

But while I was distracted with that, I forgot to activate tequila and flying guy went into blue box lol

So hopefully next run should be a success

[full terrace]

You see that shadow below its feet

This is its real position

Not the sprite itself

When you see the shadow entering that tile the Assassin is standing on

Activate Tequila skill

He will hit it

[ornate heart]

Would tequila's skill not run out early if I activate it then?

[full terrace]

Nope he would kill it

Kill the sniper dude I mean

[ornate heart]

I was more worried about the bossman

[full terrace]

Oh the boss will stand there for awhile dont worry

Slowly charge Tequila skill up

Til red

Then schwing schwing

Basically:

• You kill the Sniper first, then deactivate Tequila skill
• Gravel maneuver and now he is blocked by Cardigan
• Cycle Cardigan healing with your 2 Medics while Tequila charge up
• Tequila is red, activate his skill, activate SilverAsh skill too

Beagle in your case

[ornate heart]

Alright

Ok the maneuever was a success but Tequila's skill ran out before boss could be killed

Should I stop the skill before boss gets low so I can get more hits with refreshed skill duration?

[full terrace]

Yes

When the boss's HP is at like

Retreat SilverAsh and stop Tequila's skill

Charge his skill up again

For the 2nd cycle

That should get you the clear

[ornate heart]

Yea I can feel the end is near

[full terrace]

Yeah its just timing mostly

[ornate heart]

Thank you @full terrace

Now to pray to AI gods that the Auto Deploy is not scuffed

The physical and arts dodge of the boss is really a pain

Bad news, it is scuffed

[pearl compass]

Farm origami then.

[ornate heart]

Ok round 2 of fixing AI, lets go

[full terrace]

Congrats

Yeah well the Physical and Arts dodge is kinda annoying

There is a trick to fix it by bringing more Medics @ornate heart

The logic is like this

When you activate Tequila skill

Retreat your Purestream

And then quickly deploy another Medic on her tile

This will remove the chain connecting her to Silence

And then that new Medic will create a new chain to Silence

Removing the Assassin's Physical and Arts Dodge temporarily

[ornate heart]

I see

[pearl compass]

You can also use 0-Block melee ops to freely put chains on him.

[ornate heart]

the dodge is causing unnecessary rng in the auto deploy fml, i will have to deal with it

[full terrace]

Your SilverAsh is not E2 I assume?

[ornate heart]

yes

[full terrace]

Yeah if only he is at E2 this is a stable clear

There is another way to make it stable if you want

But you need another Defender sadly

[ornate heart]

Noir?

[full terrace]

I doubt that

Need as one as tough as Beagle

[ornate heart]

out of luck then

[full terrace]

Basically the idea is that

You redeploy Tequila on that Gravel tile (below Beagle)

And place that Defender on his tile

Now you just keep activating Tequila skill when it's ready

Doesnt matter the boss HP

If he dashes then it gets caught by the Defender behind Beagle

[ornate heart]

tbf in one of the runs, Noir was able to handle the boss for a while

[full terrace]

Oh wait you are right

Noir works

It doesnt matter the 2nd Defender dies

Because it got sandwiched by Noir and Beagle anyway

When Noir dies, Beagle blocks it again

Yeah Noir works

Time to fix your auto

[ornate heart]

Dodging beagle directly sandwiches it between noir and beagle?

or do I need to do some shifty stuff again?

[full terrace]

You see how Spot sandwiched it between him and Cardigan

[vagrant island]

What operator do I pick here, I kill max 20 enemies before I die

[full terrace]

I retreated Spot right away to simulate his death

[pearl compass]

Virtuosa.

[vagrant island]

Which skill do I use?

[pearl compass]

Any is good.
S1 is for single target.
S3 for waves.

[vagrant island]

K thanks

[full terrace]

Dont retreat your Noir when the Assassin dashes btw, he still needs to take that stab

[ornate heart]

How early do I want to retreat tequila?

[full terrace]

Whrn the last Sniper is killed

So like

Only the boss left

[ornate heart]

Ok

[full terrace]

You can also deploy another Medic there on the red circled tile

To reduce the healing pressure

[ornate heart]

yea I was doing that

Ok in my last attempt, he just teleported directly to Noir, one shot him and skedaddled into the blue box

does he get his oneshot back after dash?

[hazy sinew]

if he goes out of chain

@magic sorrel

https://youtu.be/ObvpMuMPKmU

3 op good enough

[ornate heart]

Am i messing up the chains again by deploying Spot before Tequila? @full terrace

Nope same dash with chains set up similar to yours

[hazy sinew]

.mkv file interesting

[full stream]

[hazy sinew]

must be iOS user

[ornate heart]

linux to be specific

I'll try that medic trick to see if that makes the AI stable

[glass monolith]

Time to install VM with Ubuntu to run it

[ornate heart]

Waydroid is right there

[serene hornet]

[ornate heart]

🙏 for stable runs with medic trick

Finally, stable runs

[full terrace]

Hmm weird I think that might be an issue with Tequila hitbox

If his hitbox is too big and he pushes the Assassin up a bit more

[ornate heart]

Makes sense

[full terrace]

Oh wait

I know now

Its the issue with your Gravel deploy

Gravel was the one pushing it up

If the Assassin is naturally blocked by Cardigan

It's not that high up

His position I mean

[ornate heart]

Yea yea, but at least your Medic trick works fine. I just re-optimized some parts and I think I have a stable autodeploy now. Thanks again.

[full terrace]

This is the Assassin position in your video, look

It's a bit up there

Now this is the Assassin position in the guide

Way lower

Look at the red HP bar

Yeah so Cardigan is needed to tank that stab 😂

[ornate heart]

difference between being above and below the center point of the tile

[full terrace]

Yeah because I used Cardigan to tank its first hit

Without the Gravel maneuver

So its position is lower

You using Gravel maneuver pushes him up

[ornate heart]

Yep

[full terrace]

And thats a bit higher than the naturally block position

Welp

Medic trick it is

[ornate heart]

At least the medic trick works

The last time I was so hyperfocused on a stage was with the carbon last stage. I remember just barely making the cut for auto with random panic deploys everywhere

[full terrace]

For me, this is what makes the game fun

I have a full meta lineup, and its not really fun to abuse them to bruteforce stages

Feels pretty bland

[ornate heart]

Yea I realize this is also sort of puzzle solving. Didn't realize a gacha game could be this fun

I think my next objective is the Annihilation stages

[full terrace]

Annihilations is only fun when you are new or newer

Once you get a bunch of 6 Stars those are also pretty bland

Enjoy the moment, dont rush it

[ornate heart]

👍

[fierce patrol]

[still vessel]

congrats

[next wigeon]

Now do BB-S-4 again

[full terrace]

Speedrun medals on my alt 😂

[tame rain]

Any tips on Annihlation Operation

Or like I have no idea what Im doing. How do I go about it. I see a bunch of different ones.

[crimson raft]

afk if u old player

[tame rain]

Im not. Clearly

[maiden hound]

go chernobog > lungmen outskirts > lungmen downtown then the current rotating (currently kurfurtensplatz)
try to kill as much enemies as possible on current rotating > lungmen downtown without borrowing and you can borrow for the rest of the annihilations (can borrow and try again on the other maps but will not be recorded to be proxied) (other, rotating simulation ones are lower prio)

[tame rain]

Thanks man. Ill give it a whirl I have SA and Tequila at E2 maybe they can do some work

[topaz tapir]

Can I please get a guide for this

All the other guides I'm finding are outdated

[next wigeon]

https://youtu.be/jq4Qy94GukI

[scarlet fulcrum]

Whats the skill level of ur thorns?

[next wigeon]

Just follow this and add on your ops

[topaz tapir]

This doesn't work for me cuz I'm missing some of the units they use-
Specifically Irene

[topaz tapir]

Lv7

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats probably doable

Which one leaked btw?

Which side

[next wigeon]

But can't you just use Lappland in the place of Arene

Irene is another op

The Lord Guard is Arene

[topaz tapir]

A drone leaked
and a junkman

[scarlet fulcrum]

Balze skill lv7?

[topaz tapir]

Lv6

I need 1 more gel

[next wigeon]

https://youtu.be/q1HcqhxdNso

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can farm babel 👍

[topaz tapir]

Can't get to BB-8

BB-7 kicking my ass

[scarlet fulcrum]

U have cuora whats the problem

[topaz tapir]

This flame guy

[modest pewter]

You can borrow a support unit you know?

[topaz tapir]

can people stop telling me to use supports

I wanna be able to auto stuff

[modest pewter]

If you like a challenge i get it then

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats interesting deployment choice

[modest pewter]

It's a rerun event so that stage is not coming back

I mean that stage is gonna become permanent

[scarlet fulcrum]

frd more useful here, for young roster atleast

More like any meele fodder

[topaz tapir]

huh?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Do u see thorns ideal tile?

Also read burdenbeast ability. The reason i said meele fodder useful for young roster here

[somber falcon]

problem: guy burns everyone connected with chain
many op hurt, can't heal > less op with chain is better > least number of chain an op can have: 0
solution: have him hit an op with no chain

[topaz tapir]

What is Young Roster

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ur roster for example, its more like snail than young

[topaz tapir]

I don't know what that means

[topaz tapir]

Also I know it's ability which is why I wanted to make more chains

[scarlet fulcrum]

Do u read thing in tutorial? Or just skip throughly?

[topaz tapir]

okay honestly I don't need to farm BB-7 rn but what the fuck do I do in BB-8

[topaz tapir]

The chain connects to the most recently deployed op yes?

and there's a max of 3 per chain or something??

[scarlet fulcrum]

Close but no cigar

[glass monolith]

Chain range is limited, but you can keep chaining any kind of abomination #strategy message

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can probably scroll stuff for bb-8 case, its not really hard with ur stuff+cuora even more

[topaz tapir]

Yeah but I'm a massive idiot

[scarlet fulcrum]

We all learning dw 👍

For example, u deploy meele on back first,then u can chain thorns jn circle, then drain burden beast with fodder, u can even deploy tequila beside thorns for burn guy just in case thorns not enough. Dont forget to drop bait

Those ranged tiles also useful

[glass monolith]

uh... He asked for bb-8

[scarlet fulcrum]

???? Already gave him solution

[glass monolith]

Isn't that bb-7 screenshot?

[topaz tapir]

I skipped BB-7 with Wisadel for now

I need to farm BB-8 for Gel

[scarlet fulcrum]

I already gave u a hint, not really hard to execute

Sleeping with cuora

[topaz tapir]

I already lost 5 times at the start

[glass monolith]

You givign hints for 7 when he asks for 8

[scarlet fulcrum]

No?

Just spoonfeed him then, i already told him to scroll a bit

[topaz tapir]

I scrolled and found nothing I could use

[scarlet fulcrum]

Atleast better than ppl who dropped random stuff and just leave

[topaz tapir]

I keep dying at the beginning

[scarlet fulcrum]

Open with fang and kroos, all videos did that

[topaz tapir]

oh uh

[scarlet fulcrum]

U dont need big shit for right side

[topaz tapir]

Kroos dies to ranged units and I can't place any medics

[scarlet fulcrum]

Aggro with meele

https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1Zt421A73L?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click here i found this, change yato to gravel, other just for chain mechanic, u can drop blaze for left or right either works

[topaz tapir]

I hate these knights

[lapis hornet]

same

[full terrace]

Cake you are not changing your status? Cant beat BB-8

😏

[glass monolith]

Why not think ahead - "Can't beat Duel Channel"

[lapis hornet]

wdym

I can beat bb8

if I can't I'll make sure to ping u so you can handhold me np

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its perma stage ☕

[full terrace]

Aw you are breaking your character, you are supposed to say you cant

[vestal badge]

Cant beat bb8 here

Someone called?

[topaz tapir]

Yeah it's been hours and I still can't beat it

I wanna beat it to farm Gel so I can level Blaze skill
and then finally try and best Lungmen Downtown

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dont follow 1:1

[torpid prawn]

If anyone think about trying to do bb-s-1 cm with mlynar+reed alter do know that bringing more 6star ops doesnt help a lot on the tight skill timings.
Brought lapper+yu to make it easier, had to use all skills on wave3 cutters +assassin and even then i barely got the skills on time for the last wave, mlynar almost dying to 4 capibaras if it wasnt for sleep+stun

[plucky grove]

yo pepe stunlocks the assassin??

nvm idk what happened that time, cant do it again assassin just passes through

well i wanted to clean up my bb8 clear so i made this, not sure if it will be useful to anyone, horn is really good for soloing left side

[hazy sinew]

pepe stunlocks anyone

[plucky grove]

the first time i tried it, the assassin wasnt even able to dash, but it turns out it was a fluke

[hazy sinew]

bit of a timing thing for sure but not 100 % why

[astral cosmos]

I cant believe this clear needs bobbing p6

fucking hell

why didn't they give leonhardt the not shit module

[fickle ravine]

Good work mate

I wish I have my own bobbing TwT but my red carts situation say otherwise

[austere needle]

I just realised mont3r S1M3 aspd buff is 100% uptime on the +1 target

[vocal leaf]

bobbing has nothing to do with red certs tho

what is the correlation here?

[static geyser]

Is there a specific strat to doing the integrated strategies because I find myself pretty lost when doing them and choosing options that sound good or effective

[vocal leaf]

which IS and diff? it changes drastically depending on that

[static geyser]

I think I did leader squad but I don't understand the differences and stuff

[vocal leaf]

but which IS? is2 is3 is4…?

and the difficulty, i assume you’re just starting so it must be d0

[static geyser]

How do I check that

It says difficulty facing souls

[slim wyvern]

The IS number refers to release order, so IS2 = phantom, IS3 = mizuki.caerula arbor, etc.

[fringe solstice]

that is is5

[gilded tulip]

BB S - 4 CM with this roster? I can defend right with kaltsit and hoshi already in normal.

[wary shuttle]

should be fine, you even have SA for invis reveal

some kind of block 0 would be nice though

[gilded tulip]

I can borrow ascalon for that

[willow sun]

is 25% provision the best you can make right now or something?

also do you have a krooster link instead of having to post screenshots of your operators

[olive kelp]

Well for known recipes yes but I might be able to make other damage buffing foods with my ingredients

[olive kelp]

Krooster? No but I can

[willow sun]

set it up rq if you haven't already

https://www.krooster.com/

[willow sun]

can you send your ingredients?

[south spindle]

Hyperlink failure

[willow sun]

i tried to ctrl + a and ctrl + v to replace but discord auto-hyperlinks

[olive kelp]

I made an account and I was looking to see if I could import but the button doesn't do anything so maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot

[south spindle]

Yeap

[willow sun]

[willow sun]

wdym the button doesn't do anything?

https://www.krooster.com/data/import

input your email → send code → copy and past code → log in and sync data (id recommend ticking "save credentials" as well)

[olive kelp]

Lol this one. I see though theres just a button of the left too

[willow sun]

that link works for me as well, idk

[olive kelp]

Probably clicked it wrong

Now how do i get my personal link to you?

[willow sun]

go to account settings and copy your "share link"

[south spindle]

cog gear button

[olive kelp]

Well i guess my name is just HumanDude as well but

[olive kelp]

https://krooster.com/u/humandude

[willow sun]

yup that works

[olive kelp]

Alright and food as well

[willow sun]

oh wow you have no food

wtf

yeah just use 25% then its fine

[olive kelp]

I mean day 48 and I don't think im that far into this

[willow sun]

your first act will probably be sexas + yat2 + wisadel and whatever other wave clearers you have, bring vanguards as well ofc

second act will probably be ifrit + shamare + shu + surtr + warfarin

[olive kelp]

Is saria good here?

[willow sun]

uhh sure if you can fit her in there

and then everyone else is surtr hospital

dont even focus on killing her in the first act, just kill all 3 of the waves, doing damage to the boss is your second priority

[olive kelp]

Would i attempt to spawn kill her then?

[willow sun]

no, set up first

you want the extra time she takes to walk over if anything

ngl i dont think you'll be able to maintain surtr hospital for like

even 30s

[olive kelp]

No i don't think so either

[willow sun]

but i think you should be able to stack enough buffs to blitz the boss in <25s

[olive kelp]

unless I buffed

Well i guess thats why i ask about saria cause if she doesn't really give enough buff would it even be worth?

And then I barrier the other enemies off?

[somber falcon]

saria s3 still heals even if you're ignoring the buff

[willow sun]

Buffers: Skalter (Skill 3), Warfarin (Skill 2), Shu (Skill 3)

• 30-43s: Warfarin, Shu = 304 HP/s (+Eyjaberry, Silence = 1088 HP/s)
  Might need some extra healing but otherwise you're good

[olive kelp]

I'm gonna pass the day and save all these tools and try it

[olive kelp]

Welp not enough dp or setup time

Like okay i can painfully setup in act 1 I'm sure thats fine

but yeah I only have half the units deployed

Does she walk somewhere else where I don't get swarmed?

Yeah idk I'm gonna have to like get a bunch of stuff before i take this on. Not really sure how do deal with all the enemies when the only DPS i have is surtr and the second they walk around her its over

Well iron was like the biggest hurdle for me progressing so I'm not too sure what to do now. I honestly forget how progression in this works and if I can carry much over from failed runs

[somber falcon]

just position somewhere the casters won't reach
also surtr only blocks 1 anyways, 0 issues even if the braves come and goes through

[olive kelp]

As much as I'd like to just place my team somewhere they all can't reach I think that means priestess will just not be there

[somber falcon]

literally go spawn camp her on bottom

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m8K5yhkujM

[olive kelp]

Yup its totally that simple!

Just please check my account first before thinking i can meet conditions of a video

[somber falcon]

how about you do the strat first
you have most of those ops, that 20-30 seconds can be easily stretched to 2 acts

[olive kelp]

Most is certainly not enough because some units are very specific to clearing the wave or dealing with the boss

[somber falcon]

go clear the mobs with whatever
it's literally surtr hospital for the boss

[olive kelp]

So we need someone then to solo the wave or at least duo

I'll see what i have

[somber falcon]

you don't have aak and reed, that means 2 extra slot for clearing mob

[olive kelp]

Yes and they need to also be fast enough and give surtr enough time to kill the boss. Aak is also one of the ones buffing surtr. I mean I'll see if i can manage it

[somber falcon]

once again
just stretch that 20-30s of killing window to the entire 2 acts
the mobs are cleared with tex and yato which you already have
go chip the boss in act with ntrk and skadi or smth on first act if needed

then surtr her ass on act 2

[olive kelp]

Well i mean I'd love to setup in act 2

but theres a lot of enemies that will destroy that setup

[somber falcon]

look at the video

nothing is even bothering the entire team

[olive kelp]

Yes because they did this all in act 1

[somber falcon]

and what difference does that make
the stage plays the same way on either act

[olive kelp]

Well by the time i get enough dp in act 2 the croc will be not be at spawn

Which then means i have to revert to dealing with a bunch of enemies

Am i like missing something in your plan here?

I mean i appreciate the help but you are just oversimplifying it

[scarlet fulcrum]

Technically u can clear almost all mobs on act 1, then chill on act 2

[olive kelp]

Yeah that would make more sense I just need to be able to do enough damage to do that

[scarlet fulcrum]

U have more than enough 👍

[olive kelp]

If they all reach me in time

but also the boss shows up there as well

which usually causes my team to die

[scarlet fulcrum]

The key is kill the kill gate croc asap, they spawn on left box

[olive kelp]

Well i would mainly need to kill all the enemies spawning from the top right and bottom

left side i can just barrier

[scarlet fulcrum]

No kill gate is important, if u dont kill it it wont spawn next wave

[olive kelp]

Oh well yeah those aren't an issue

its when the boss spawns

[scarlet fulcrum]

Looks like u re not fast enough

So thats the issue

[olive kelp]

in relation to what?

the surtr kill strat isn't really an issue of being fast enough because i don't have enough dp to set up

which when the boss spawns the elites spawn with her

[scarlet fulcrum]

This

[olive kelp]

Right i do not have this team

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not that part

[olive kelp]

so i cannot do act 1 all in one go

[scarlet fulcrum]

omg

[olive kelp]

What that guy said is literally in relation to the video he sent

Nothing is bothering that team (the team in the video that does everything in act 1)

[scarlet fulcrum]

Well i just gave u advice, its up to you

[olive kelp]

What was the advice?

To do what faster?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Kill gate asap, then clear wave

[olive kelp]

I'm doing that

but in act 2 the issue is everything spawns

including the elites

so yeah the boss is there and so are the elites which will devour my team

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats it, the mobs not ded yet

[olive kelp]

Boss spawns with mobs

You can see it in the videos

[scarlet fulcrum]

Because they are not killed 👍

U dont have to 1 act this

[olive kelp]

I mean even if the boss reaches my team before i setup up thats still an issue

I also don't know what units will allow me to ignore the boss while killing all the elites

[scarlet fulcrum]

U are not crafting any device?

[olive kelp]

I am so if the elites were dead I could stall with barriers

but thats if the elites are dead

Which the time to kill the elites is not very much if my whole team is wiped by the boss

Idk thats just the issue with "just do this one thing" pieces of advice cause it just leaves out a whole lot of other issues

[scarlet fulcrum]

Do u know what kill gate is

[olive kelp]

I guess not?

[scarlet fulcrum]

oh dang mb then, i rambled for nothing

[olive kelp]

I mean can i do it?

Or is it like something you unlock?

Okay so is it just not killing enemies ASAP

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea u have frd, u have wisadel. If u kill the gate faster u will chill on act2. It doesn't have to be all if u cant, after that u can chill on act2

[olive kelp]

So i don't have to kill the elites just the crocs on the left?

Then that will cause the elites to not spawn?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Even fiametta enough tbh

? U kill them, and each gate spawn kill it asap

[olive kelp]

Okay so when the boss spawns and we have elites how do i keep the boss from killing my setup that kills the wave?

Cause its the boss and the wave of elites

the boss kills my setup

so now i can't kill wave

[pearl compass]

What's the stage again?

[pearl compass]

Ooooooooh

[olive kelp]

funny croc priest boss

[pearl compass]

Yeaaaaah

[olive kelp]

aka pain

[pearl compass]

Wis killing waves indeed

[olive kelp]

yeah its the issue of when the boss spawns i can't deal with both the boss and the elites

I do not have the greatest units for this specific level

at least the ones most people use

[pearl compass]

Better waste one Act on killing all enemies except Boss, let her go through the map on left and prepare any buildings in advance on her right bottom righter redbox.

On Act 2 just deploy everyone and kill CrocWife.

[olive kelp]

I guess ill see if i can keep my team alive long enough to kill all the waves

[scarlet fulcrum]

Kill the elites ignore the boss, then progress to act 2

https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1dF4m1T7VH?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click look this nerd doesn't even kill all elites

I can show you 1 act video with similar comp like urs, but u better do it slowly. Consider ur understanding pace
