strategy

[queen axle]

200% trust is just for borrow btw since borrowing halves trust so it has no benefit for u

[river walrus]

Yeah I had to borrow the 70 exu2

[foggy grove]

this is untrue

but anyhow lv70 mod3 does one tap ye

[pearl compass]

Bruh

WTF

I even lack mod on her

You kidding?

The damage is overkill on her

To stupid Pigeons

[foggy grove]

to one shot

that's why he is asking the dph

[crisp bolt]

surely I won't need ascalon :clueless:

[flat plaza]

Which one lasr?

[queen axle]

theres a stage where its the dragon that spawn a vase that needs 15 hits of arts or true dmg

[queen axle]

reedic/tuta

[glass monolith]

THREE fucking reviving enemies I can't

[flat plaza]

There is only two options and you just told me both

[queen axle]

yeah that stage just spam baits so they would stun those instead

[flat plaza]

Should I pull on this and which one is last between reedic and tuya

[queen axle]

u shouldnt

[glass monolith]

Up to you, we have very meta broken BS operator soon (Phantom alter), not to mention people saving for collab in 'bout 4 months I think?

[flat plaza]

Okay

[rose forge]

you can refer to the pins in #help for the banner list

hoshi alter/haruka comes first before this collab

so there's alot.

[flat plaza]

E2 mlynar or e2 lemuen or e2 exu alter first

Wait wrong place

[zinc ridge]

do I just use wisadel to tank the enraged people at 6-5

[pearl compass]

You could

If you time it right

Because if you won't, she will die.

[zinc ridge]

the originum is just gonna tank it

too bad 1 enemy leaked at the end

[pearl compass]

They hit hard, ya know

[zinc ridge]

not hard enough

anyways why is the origium so tanky?

atleast 20 times tankier than wisadel

[pearl compass]

🥹

Ask Lowlight

Idk what he smoked when he made them the same tanky as fucking Blemishine.

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-gif-26013863

[zinc ridge]

wait does a single person works on singular operator how does that works

[pearl compass]

Huh?

[zinc ridge]

like yall acting like I know who lowlight is

or who is someone else

idk

[pearl compass]

He's a god.

https://tenor.com/view/sigma-lowlight-lowlight-sigma-hai-mao-sigma-hai-sigma-gif-9081627343844428954

Hypergryph CEO
Aka Arknights Master or sum

[queen axle]

john arknights

[zinc ridge]

why did bro call himself lowlight

too low on light?

[glass monolith]

His shining overshadows any light in room with him

[zinc ridge]

anyways im supposed to be killing the bosses in 2 shots?

[pearl compass]

Depending which boss

If you're about like prior to Ep8, yes.

[glass monolith]

Based on boss and how much buffs you slap on operator before starting to question if it is too much

[zinc ridge]

0 buffs unless you include modules or whatever?

[glass monolith]

You still didn't elaborate which boss

[zinc ridge]

like every boss

wisadel 2 shots em

[glass monolith]

Bullshit

[zinc ridge]

I mean im at episode 5 or whatever

[glass monolith]

We have few 3k def + DR + HP bar bigger than fish your dad caught on last fishing session

[zinc ridge]

wait woops

I meant 5

[foggy grove]

you are borrowing maxed broken ops to a newbie boss

so yes

[zinc ridge]

mafisto got blown away

[glass monolith]

First boss to have any kind of def stats is 7th chapter

[pearl compass]

Good luck on Kristen or Mandragora, I guess.

[zinc ridge]

dont worry im upgrading silverash

he deals arts damage or something while hitting with ranged right

[pearl compass]

Without module it's just shitty 80% power of Phys

[zinc ridge]

is the module cheap 🤔

[pearl compass]

No

Ofc no

[zinc ridge]

idk wisadel's module was cheap

I didn't have to farm these stupid chips

altho im out of LMD

and exp

yeah this sucks

im wait for next event

[pearl compass]

Like, that would be cheap for you?

[zinc ridge]

I dont plan to upgrade module to full

just like

once

[pearl compass]

But he wants Lv3

[zinc ridge]

wait why

[pearl compass]

???

It's free 15% more damage

Lol

And additional if Boss

[zinc ridge]

15% really that much

[zinc ridge]

wait so what do I get from module level 1

[fickle ravine]

Bye B

[pearl compass]

See talent one

So Lv1 just still +10%

[zinc ridge]

oh it upgrades the talent

[pearl compass]

Lv2

And Lv3

[glass monolith]

#strategy message

[zinc ridge]

alright so level 2 is what I focus on

gotcha

[glass monolith]

You could have same message those levels or something

[pearl compass]

Spoonful

[glass monolith]

Like discord went out of their way to allow sending several images at once instead each generating separated message but human evolution knows better

[pearl compass]

I somehow love doing this

Because Discord loves to crop images

And it shows always incorrectly on mobile.

[zinc ridge]

I got level 2 on wisadel module

is that alright

[pearl compass]

Force of habit

[zinc ridge]

🤔

[pearl compass]

Same she wants Lv3

For damage

[queen axle]

known fraud

[zinc ridge]

I didn't even see that much of improvement

[pearl compass]

She's DPS alright, so any even 5% is worth

Anyway, your choice

[zinc ridge]

I get that

but it's just slight damage increase

so I will focus on that later

need my team done

[leaden sierra]

Why is my Yu not teleporting mechanist in vec-12?

[pearl compass]

Wait, what?!

[queen axle]

he didnt consent to getting teleported

[pearl compass]

I'm planning to fucking cheeze him with that

[zinc ridge]

aparently tragodia is best for stalling enemies right? so that would synergyze with wisadel's AOE attacks

[leaden sierra]

But he did 6 months ago what? Am I missing a specific buff?

[queen axle]

ninja buff by lowlight

[glass monolith]

If you can infinite stall enemies it doesn't matter what your DPS is, unless you on timer

[leaden sierra]

Well, at least it still works on the doggy

[zinc ridge]

🤔 🤔 what if the stall dies to the enemy

[pearl compass]

They could "fix" the boss, like they did on Ifrit's Daddy instakill skip with Saga.

In DoS.

[glass monolith]

Then it is not stall but random BS go

[pearl compass]

🥹

[leaden sierra]

Idk, I didn't consider it a bug, but whatever

[scarlet fulcrum]

I tried just now, it works just fine

[pearl compass]

Thank god

🥹

[leaden sierra]

So so I'm doing something wrong? But what?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Imnot sure if no footage

[leaden sierra]

brb

[glass monolith]

I can only assume he tried to teleport boss during revive/invulnerability

[scarlet fulcrum]

Or not yet in range, or out of range

[jovial nest]

Heh. So Mechanist and his giraffe robot works like a more dangerous version of the duo F3 bosses in IS2 and IS3

[leaden sierra]

Ok, I'm stupid, I used Yu and shu at the same time

[lime lantern]

how2 s-3-cm

[scarlet fulcrum]

sometimes i did that too dw

[south bone]

6 minutes lmao

[glass monolith]

Damn this is new, thanks

[lime lantern]

sword guys just have too much atk on cm

exu wastes ammo on the healers

[tawny shuttle]

it worked. thank you so much. finally. beaten the main stages of the event.
the other two. well XD

sorry for the late response.
having internet issues lately

[torpid prawn]

Was thinking about how to add a 3rd dps to deal with the runners and keep them alive.
Whenever the flying boss spawns in i would need to place 2 fast redeploys before it can do the AoE attack on the redeploys

The redeploys go to the opposite side of the map in correlation to the boss and way from the last 3 shrines

[devout pagoda]

@full terrace um hi? my friend, mason told me to ping you for help in DH-5.

[austere bone]

Is it possible for me to beat MT-8 with this squad?

[foggy grove]

is this s1 knight lol

[austere bone]

how about a 3 star clear

[foggy grove]

change exu,blaze and lemuen skill to skill 2

[austere bone]

cause I want to get the 3 star clear

[austere bone]

I set it as default don't know why it's nt going in the thing

[crisp bolt]

(ignore the e2, it's for base she doesn't tank at all)

[full stream]

Yeah rechord already used her against the possessed

[crisp bolt]

ah damn he beat me to it

[full stream]

He went down the 5* melee list

[crisp bolt]

I love how it works though at s2 sl1

[vivid rain]

[crisp bolt]

yeah I thought so

[vivid rain]

or god forbid e0 istina

[crisp bolt]

slow rng

[scarlet fulcrum]

E0 robin 👍

[vivid rain]

[crisp bolt]

If I wasn't lazy I managed to eunectes solo sp03

[scarlet fulcrum]

Wdym not lazy

[crisp bolt]

and mon3tr solo sp02

[vivid rain]

i kinda want to do a deepcolor solo for sp03 but mine isnt raised so

[vivid rain]

[rapid junco]

I'm lazy do vec for me 👉 👈

[ebon zephyr]

oh no, e2 kafka. Ruined account

[crisp bolt]

[vivid rain]

he just doesnt see race

or anything at all in that regard

World of Darkness

[crisp bolt]

my kafka is e0

[ebon zephyr]

[full stream]

Can flamebringer 1v1 the possessed

[ebon zephyr]

What excuse do I make, give me some time

[full stream]

Matoimaru can because of s2 big stat buff

[crisp bolt]

I'm trying quartz rng

[maiden hound]

set my wildmane on s1 and she folded. oops

[crisp bolt]

you need s2

so e1 needed

[maiden hound]

no like she's e2 but i set the wrong skill

[crisp bolt]

oh lol

[fossil nymph]

Yo how do I do this? The boss is like perma healing

[maiden hound]

[crisp bolt]

[fossil nymph]

Bro how

I couldnt even

[valid kite]

Guys, desperate maybe someone here has Specter the Unchained for VEC-12..

[crisp bolt]

schizo

[fossil nymph]

I do if you desperately need one you can add me (Prydon#4767)

[pearl compass]

Conquer the Gramaphone.

Make it blue, not red.

[fossil nymph]

There is no mechanic right? I cant de activate the tower or something?

[crisp bolt]

do you see the lightning tiles?

[pearl compass]

You can RETAKE IT.

[fossil nymph]

Bruh

[pearl compass]

So it will start killing Golem, and it does it well.

[fossil nymph]

Oke wtf I am trolling

[pearl compass]

And heal your units too.

[fossil nymph]

Ty gangy

[sly drift]

How even the hell Mechanist one shot maxed Hoshi at 70% HP though.

[crisp bolt]

[valid kite]

ive added you thank u sm

[fossil nymph]

Np

[crisp bolt]

mechanist is one of the bosses of all time

[sly drift]

What makes this so disgusting is that his attack has no special animation that you really can't react to what the hell will come next

[queen axle]

do i really gotta specter it man

[sly drift]

For real is this the time for fishes

[queen axle]

dude is the boss not affected by high tide

[pearl compass]

I was planning to use E2-60 to stall Mechanist

Welp I guess I need some new plan.

[queen axle]

only specter can stall him i think

[pearl breach]

Specter isnt nearly enough.

[void terrace]

Damn lemuen really makes MT S 5 cm a joke

Comboed her with gramps to just barrage the boss

7 bullets too few? How about 11

[pearl compass]

[wise minnow]

How do i jt8-3

[void terrace]

Borrow logos

Use logos s3 when the firestorm hits

Boom no civillian death

Also make sure no operators are deployed next to the civillians

Or the burn will spread

Wait is this

[pearl compass]

Civs on H8-4

[void terrace]

Oop

[pearl compass]

He asked normal mode

[void terrace]

Jt83 just borrow logos

[wise minnow]

Shit i don't have any friend that have logo

[glass monolith]

Just assault random people in discord to find one, or use Nightingale S3 strat to face tank mechanic

[fickle ravine]

I have m6 logos s1& s3 do you still need him?

[wise minnow]

ye

[fickle ravine]

Light#3917

I would leave him for a week

[wise minnow]

Doen

[fickle ravine]

OwO

[plucky badge]

how helpful with VEC-12 will it be to wait for the next set of buffs?

in 3 days I think, should still count for trim medal

[pearl compass]

Dunno about the rest, but I remember one specific.

All Ops has 0 Block

But

HP +100%, ATK +100%, ASPD +100.

[queen axle]

[full stream]

My Yu can still block chills🥶

[queen axle]

is the stage to unlock it tho free

[full stream]

Will a lvl 90 pot4 thorns with max delta mod+s3m3 beat it🥹

[glass monolith]

Ceobe, eat them

[pearl compass]

Waf

[errant hawk]

Is am struggling with dealing with s-1 normal the shooters kill my guys way too quickly even if i make them target a siara with ptilopsis and scilence healing her what can i do

[devout pagoda]

Bruh, I'm out of LMD whilst building my ops and everything

Still can't clear this damn stage

I tried using Shamare/Click

But they can't even survive to do anything...

[limpid ore]

mechanist really show no mercy

[elder flume]

just making sure
youre using all stickers right

[devout pagoda]

Which ones am I supposed to use

I use the ones where I can deploy defenders/snipers on high tide

And the ones where they recover 50 points

And starter 4 DP

I don't have anymore LMD to upgrade more lol

[elder flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvpVd4ZPESQ

this is zero investment no

[spice mortar]

Beagle has more def than saria if she's at e1

[errant hawk]

I will try that

[devout pagoda]

How are their level 1s tougher than my e1s though...

[devout pagoda]

200 DEF is a lot?

[pearl compass]

No

[wise minnow]

Uh who should i replace

[devout pagoda]

In other gachas, 3 digit flat stats are usually so low

[pearl compass]

1k it is

Or better 2k

[glass monolith]

Well yea in AK our stats are rather low compared to the enemy

[foggy grove]

on very underlevelled unit,yes

[glass monolith]

My highest off skill def in roster is 802

[lapis hornet]

so strong

[devout pagoda]

Who do I replace Lancet with btw...

I don't have Lancet

[spice mortar]

200 def is usually around a 50% increase for most non tank units lol

[wise minnow]

How do i kill tal first

[elder flume]

just have SA S2 on Noir instead and should rid the need for Lancet prob

[devout pagoda]

SA is so squishy man

[foggy grove]

on s2 he is as durable as noir

[elder flume]

hes almost twice as durable as Noir

[foggy grove]

with added healing

[elder flume]

sure 45 hps may not be a lot

but should last equally

[full stream]

I've used SA s2 to tank some crazy shit it's pretty good honestly

[foggy grove]

also don't copy it to a tee lol

just borrow e1 naran or something

[queen axle]

yeah uh this is impossible with my current lineup

[wise minnow]

How the fuck am i supposed to kill tal in 2nd phase

[vocal leaf]

why you didn’t deploy mont3r summon? try borrowing someone else like yu or shu, do you even need ulpi?

[queen axle]

well ulpi lowered the yellow thing

[pearl breach]

Tal? Tallulah? JT8-3?

[queen axle]

i timed its death with the end of high tide

but yeah like

it just 2 shots mlynar

[wise minnow]

Yea

[queen axle]

can yu tank it or

[wise minnow]

help pls

[pearl breach]

Usually with borrow NG, Shu, Logos etc. you wait for their skill to come online before you kill the first/second phase

[vocal leaf]

i blocked him with yu but use mlynar as bait, but i use mont3r, eyja and shu to keep him alive

[pearl breach]

What do you have rn?

[queen axle]

i only got monsta as my healer and silence ig

[wise minnow]

whatever bullshit i have

[pearl breach]

I mean send me your squad if you want a help

[queen axle]

my acc is like 1 month old rn should i even be doing this

[pearl breach]

We can't read minds you know.

[queen axle]

this feels like cc difficulty

[wise minnow]

Don't judge me im this bad

[vocal leaf]

nara s2 🙅‍♂️

[pearl breach]

Send the rest, the build one like e1 or smth

[glass monolith]

E1 Bagpipe

[queen axle]

nara s2 is just for 1-7

[vocal leaf]

no, you use s1

[glass monolith]

IS THAT E2 MAX MODULE MYRTLE S2?

[queen axle]

I JUST NOTICED

GAHHH

[wise minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-insane-cat-meme-insanity-losing-grip-gif-2901353152573298214

[queen axle]

i cant kill the yellow thing before the boss gets to mlynar if i dont borrow him so like yeah the high tide thing is just so ass(actually ill just send a vid on how i do it

[wise minnow]

Now what

[pearl breach]

Read.

[wise minnow]

ok

[noble pewter]

Hi, who can borrow me a maxed yu?

[umbral mountain]

No worries gang, just glad to see it work

[unkempt lintel]

did u try finding at #friend-id ?

[lapis hornet]

i only got pot 1 yu sadge

why ppl using him.all of ax sudden

[unkempt lintel]

lol by max mean max pot???

[lapis hornet]

idk I assumed he wanted pots lol

[pearl breach]

vec 12, ig

[lapis hornet]

wait pard did the 4 op with pot1

probs works

ping me your ign and I'll add if you want

[pearl compass]

Teleport Mechanist to other lane, so instead defending 3 lanes, you hold 2.

[lapis hornet]

oh zamn

[unkempt lintel]

and there goes the mystery of yu demand

oh w8 why am i in strategy??? i belong to #help

adios

[pearl compass]

[cinder pike]

how are your garrisions

[pearl compass]

Bad

Only pleased with SP01 with Skadi.

[cinder pike]

resistance equipment has me wondering if there is better options

[pearl compass]

[cinder pike]

I ended with Lin and cardigan

[crisp bolt]

at least you haven't gone full schizo like me

[full stream]

cardigan and medicmiya

[crisp bolt]

I cleared sp01 with e1 lvl 1 quartz s2 rng

[plucky grove]

i used some 6* and max e1 units for garrisons but its not ops i normally use so i think its fine

[crisp bolt]

I did resistance with eunectes solo

if you want a really stupid strat for it, it's possible to clear it with thorns s2 solo (I had mod2 thorns when I did it)

[plucky grove]

this kind of sucks but i cant be bothered to make a better comp, friend of mine did mumu + marcille though i might do the same if i ever need these ops

[crisp bolt]

I didn't even think to do arts mumu clue

I did it with mumu + tuta

[plucky grove]

i was thinking thorns could do it yeah that makes sense, i use thorns a lot though so i ended up using fia grandpa s3 for it

[crisp bolt]

yeah I got it

[wise minnow]

ima just upgrade my squad

[crisp bolt]

it was close

[cinder pike]

what did you use for the possessed leader

deep color on S2 was pretty chill

[crisp bolt]

[plucky grove]

grandpa was at full hp for my clear but i dont think most people leveled him that much

since he does need e2

[crisp bolt]

I've got a couple of random clears with it

there's so many options

[plucky grove]

yea its nice that theres a ton of options to choose from

[crisp bolt]

if you want a really easy one with some investment, e1 wildmane solos at sl1

you just press s2 and win

one sec I want to check how may is

not bad but some s2 rng

[dusk quest]

Second try

They really went all out on first two S stages then dipped

[plucky grove]

wasnt the first s stage also really easy compared to the others?

[foggy grove]

i forgor what s1

[foggy grove]

uh ye it's pretty tame

[plucky grove]

the ones that were hard for me are s-2 and 3, 5 i got statchecked since i didnt have s2m3 lemon but borrowing one fixed that easily

[dusk quest]

Its tame if you use a standard squad

[plucky grove]

you beat s-2 with that squad?

[dusk quest]

No but i'm doing lateranoknights, had to bring the most ops for s2

[wise minnow]

How do i beat jtb8-3 after tal enter phase 2

[plucky grove]

oh, yea that makes sense

[dusk quest]

3 medics and 1 arts guard/defender/tank in general, block in middle

[cinder pike]

Vigil finally useful

[dusk quest]

I used his S1 and Wišadel S3 on one of the previous vector breakthrough stages, it was actually clutch

[wise minnow]

What if the tank is mud mud

[dusk quest]

Investment?

[wise minnow]

que?

[dusk quest]

Mastery, level and module?

[wise minnow]

E2 lv 40 no mod

[dusk quest]

I dont know then, try it but I'm not sure she can keep up

Take Amiya guard S1 if you got no one else

You need medics for other ops anyway

S3 with good timing might do it

[wise minnow]

I borrow logo

yknow what ima just at least get my squad to e2

[long lotus]

wat is the angle here

?

[queen axle]

idk just

kill

the roses

use baits

if they get close

thats one of the easier ones

[glass monolith]

Bottom right tile is save for some fucking reason and it took me only 10 minutes to notice

[long lotus]

wtf?

the flowers don't eat stuff diagonally?

[glass monolith]

Their range was smaller than I remember

And then I activated Gladiia S2 and fixed it

[pearl compass]

Yes.

Literally the bottom right ranged tile is free from nomnom

[dusk quest]

Cm was harder but grandpa S2 was the solution

[vocal leaf]

it’s funny that now we have true time limited medals

[full stream]

It used to be with CCs back then

I guess vector will carry on the tradition

[foggy grove]

it's pretty tame even for laterano

s2 is challenging for sure

[dusk quest]

First time I saw an event being almost soloable by the event ops

[full terrace]

Freaking Medal is harder to get than CCB too

Poor newbies

At the very least CCB you go for 620 you get the Medals, thats possible with Low-Ends

Now go try VEC-12 first week with Low-Ends

😒

[full stream]

And CCB3 was easy to do low ends on

[queen axle]

its literally impossible my god

[glass monolith]

Define newbies, people who started on Exu Alt probably murdered by VEC-4

[queen axle]

i cant even win with it on a non low end sq

non shu/yu haver

[tropic current]

Guys i need help on vec 12. Im getting closer with this one and borrow friend shu. Im relatively new player so i dont have many unit yet. Any advice to beat this

[full terrace]

VEC-12 has 2 arkrec records "without buff", thats with Reed+Yu+Shu+Exu, and S3 Exu is used a couple times

So technically you need more than 4x 6 Star

[queen axle]

ur not even close, it still has phase 2

[queen axle]

yeah kinda strict lineup for 4 man

[full terrace]

Dont @ reply ping me thank you very much

[queen axle]

oop forgot im on pc

[fierce tendon]

How does mechanist skill target works

[queen axle]

its auto disabled for me on my phone didnt notice

[fierce tendon]

Recent deploy ops or blocked?

[tropic current]

This is my unit. Yeah i reach the final arrow enemy the uproar thing. But both bottom and upper lane getting crushed by phase 2

[queen axle]

imagine having to deal with mechanist and then uproar too

[tropic current]

Do you kill one first?

It is like mechanist up, girrafe bottom, uproar mid

[queen axle]

[spark leaf]

Does someone have a maxed out lappland alter i could borrow?

[queen axle]

im even more doomed

[full stream]

Fang thinks she is on the team

[queen axle]

oh right i put her there for bait

[full stream]

Use yato instead

[queen axle]

cuora cant even tank the uh yellow thing

[full stream]

Creation?

[queen axle]

with monsta

healing

yup

[full stream]

Corrosion damage

It's gonna kill eventually if your tanks rely on def to survive

[queen axle]

if i borrow ulpi doomed

if i borrow shu still doomed

[full stream]

Wait 3 days lower class citizens

[queen axle]

my lineup is like for bruteforcing

[full stream]

🚬

[queen axle]

whats gonna happen in 3 days !

[full stream]

New garrison buffs

To make shit easier

[queen axle]

[full stream]

They are better than the shit we have rn so yeah

U can check wiki for more info we have a bunch

[queen axle]

i heard +100% max hp + 100% atk + 100 aspd

[queen axle]

whar

[full stream]

Ascalon+Ethan with that tag

Is gonna be peak

[queen axle]

oh

whats gonna happen

[full stream]

Wdym what's gonna happen?

[queen axle]

well

i do know stuff will die

is it actually just that and its joever

ascalon s1 for that? or s2 since 100 aspd

[full stream]

S2

When that's done u can permabind with Ethan s2

[queen axle]

i dont see the point of stalling when we got like .... +100% atk, +100% aspd

but ill try it ig

[void terrace]

Currently realise i have a 5 star promo voucher. Was thinking of either luna cub or bibeak

Any good picks in terms of 5 stars that are worth raising?

I have all 5 stars so just any recs are good

with those IS level buffs

Might be what you are looking for

[earnest bobcat]

maybe if I borrow a Texas or an Ulpi...

[queen axle]

does ulpi need glad to tank him cause i just saw his s2 get oneshot by the aoe at full health

funny 30k dmg

[pearl compass]

Preferably yes

It's 30% Phys+Arts damage reduction.

[glass monolith]

Gladiia, Silence alter off skill, S2L7 active, and it is barely enough for me to not explode

[queen axle]

wait isnt it only against seaborn

[glass monolith]

Stage 2/3 for module buffing AH talent make it against ALL

[queen axle]

o

[pearl compass]

With AH module, Lv2+, it's ALL SOURCES

[queen axle]

gg

[glass monolith]

And then you get murdered by true damage

[queen axle]

[pearl compass]

That's why I actually wanted to advise Gladiia sometimes

Even if that's not a majority POV.

[glass monolith]

Help hates all this synergy, skill activation etc bullshit, instant payback or go home

[pearl compass]

Because she could be as somewhat laneholder if her enemies are bunch of dogs and soldiers.

[queen axle]

man 1-11 was fun

12 is just cancer

[pearl compass]

Roachy lurk.

BAM.

[glass monolith]

Vector or main story

[queen axle]

golem in chapter 15 reaction

vector

[pearl compass]

You said 1-11

[queen axle]

well

guess no medal for us poor people !

[glass monolith]

Well there are some new buffs in 2 days

[queen axle]

oh wait

when will the +100 aspd buff arrive

[glass monolith]

Surely I won't need this fucking DH device buff

[pearl compass]

Probably when the Trim will gone.

🥹

[queen axle]

nothing ever happens

[pearl compass]

I also want that.

[plucky grove]

oh wait theres medals i didnt realize

[pearl compass]

Trim is complete VEC-12 before Nov, 6.

[plucky grove]

i c

[pearl compass]

🥹

[plucky grove]

im still recovering from doing s stages so im only on vec 8 but im sure it wont take too long to do 12

[queen axle]

its actually over

[ancient saffron]

Is there any way i can outheal mephistos challenge mode toxins damage?

[wicked minnow]

yes

[glass monolith]

There are buffs unlocking on Nov 2

[wicked minnow]

2 options. either kill mephisto faster so you have to deal with the toxin for less time or you kill him slower and have less healing you have to do

also good healers just outheal it

[glass monolith]

It is just 50 DPS per stack, just don't nuke entire boss healthbar in one go

[wicked minnow]

but like what if i nuke the boss and they dont do their toxin

[ancient saffron]

okay thanks

[glass monolith]

Boss stop being toxic only after dying so no dice with phase 1

[ancient saffron]

ive been trying to nuke him down but ill just take it slow

[pearl compass]

Nuke him on Barrier (at least damage to 50%) and Phase 2

Then DoT will be over immediately

[earnest bobcat]

Nirvana protocol is very annoying.

[full terrace]

Speaking of Mephisto

I wonder if Exu shield is enough to tank the poison in one go

[wicked minnow]

exu kinda just

yeah

no need for healer

[hollow current]

how do i beat this stage?

its so hard

[wicked minnow]

oh that wasnt CM

ill check CM

[pearl compass]

Lemuen

S2/S3 depending how do you deal with rest of enemies.

[hollow current]

i completely die at the end

all my units get cooked

[pearl compass]

[hollow current]

the final phase does so much dmg?

[pearl compass]

If you didn't noticed, Statue has spawned exactly on your main defense.

[hollow current]

?

[full terrace]

Yes. The number of rapid attacks increase everytime the boss change form (ground/arrial)

[pearl compass]

And yes, his AOE skill is quite strong on last phase.

[earnest bobcat]

Lemuen S3 - make sure you have the right timing/have the S3 ready when you transition between stages. It does do better in killing literally anything but the boss and is favored for low op clears.

Lemuen S2 - honestly, assuming you can keep her alive, this is the more braindead in terms of skill timing.

Lemuen S1 - haha, yeah, no.

[full terrace]

What long-ranged unit you have? Got Wisadel over there?

[hollow current]

is this a good enouh team

my lemuen isnt m3 of module 3 yet

so i cant use her

[full terrace]

Yes, just blast the boss at the end then

You reached the end right, judging from your speech

[hollow current]

i think i find most trube that my shu dies instantly at the end

is brining more defenders better?

[hollow current]

yes, i was so close to beating the boss but it wont let me

[earnest bobcat]

With S3, she kills easily even at not max, you just need to make sure that she doesn't waste bullets on the middle enemy that spawns.

[full terrace]

There is statues near the end, every sec the boss is in its range, he gains X% Max HP shield

Up to 150%

Wis would just blast the statue together with the boss

[hollow current]

hmm ok lemme try

[full terrace]

Removing the shields

[hollow current]

with wisadel?

[full terrace]

You can for example

[hollow current]

cause i thogh lemuen isnt aoe

[full terrace]

Bring FRDs and stall the boss

Keep him in Wis range

Like in this video, near the end https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=36lVsqRM52U&list=PLdcpPSF3owK6gucEobcaqLStGBZnWRfGo&index=24&pp=gAQBiAQB

[hollow current]

what are FRDs

?

[full terrace]

If you are bringing Lemuen thats even better

Wis + Lemu would just 1 cycle the boss

[hollow current]

i usually just have her as my supp

[full terrace]

Killing him when he is still on the left side

FRDs are Fast Redeploys

[cursive island]

I feel like vac to is impossible as a new player the zombie have to much hp and the flyer units are to strong

[full terrace]

Yes.. unfortunately VB is not newbies friendly

I would have made Low-Ends if that was the case

[hollow current]

I’m used to being able to brute force most stages but once in a blue moon I have to use my brain

😭

[void terrace]

Daaaaaamn the vulcan skin

I really wanna use her now

[full terrace]

Because the boss teleports around, thats why

[queen axle]

is it still not possible with the funny buffs?

[void terrace]

Is she viable in any form of the world? 😭😭

[queen axle]

oh wait did that ping bru woop

[earnest bobcat]

https://youtu.be/68WHfS_2hv8?si=_Jtrv5JzacRcKUvP anyways, S2 Lemuen might be the pick here. @ frazzydoof

[cursive island]

@full terrace thats my team

[full terrace]

Funny buff is possible but like

Its final week

Medal asks for first week, thats pretty rough

[cursive island]

Vac 2 is to much

[queen axle]

[full terrace]

Yeah they are underleveled, you can take it easy and do your Main Stories in the mean time

[hollow current]

Shoot 3 ops

I wonder if I have the third one

[earnest bobcat]

You have friendship, Shu, and Wis'adel.

[queen axle]

is there a clear without using shu/yu/ulpianus actually

[hollow current]

Perfect thanks for the help

[earnest bobcat]

There's also a Lemuen, Shu, Exu Alter variant.

They all have the same general idea of, Lemuen instantly murderizes the boss.

[hollow current]

I wish I had ulpianus

[full terrace]

Please dont @ reply ping me

Also yes there is a 4 ops clear on arkrec

With Reed+Yu+Shu+Exu

[queen axle]

i mean like without using any of those ops at all

[earnest bobcat]

If S3 fails to kill final phase, that's not an S3 damage output problem. That's a, I clicked the button too early, and Lemuen's AI decided to be a dumbass problem.

[full terrace]

Yeah no, not that I know of. Arkrec is a record site, if your name is there you are holding a record

Its 4 ops without buff there means thats the best we have currently

It can go to 2 ops low with buffs

But thats final week of the event

Also that 4 ops in practice is not literal 4 ops

Because Exu S3 is used a couple times

And that insta redeploys a unit

So like

If you are not using Exu S3 or that your timing is not perfect

You'll likely need more than 4

[queen axle]

is s3 more preffered cause multi hit

for the mechs shield

[full terrace]

S2 is her better dps

[queen axle]

or just needed for the utility

[full terrace]

S3 is just used mainly for the insta redeploy util

[foggy grove]

s3 is used for the redeploy

[earnest bobcat]

Helidrop Yu S2 TP.

[queen axle]

yeah im aware of it

s2 has higher dph

but at 0 defense s3 has higher dps and total dmg

[queen axle]

is there somewhere i can look

to show what buffs will be unlocked on nov 2

[hollow current]

What is buff?

*the

[full terrace]

The devices

When you garrison a unit

Unit(s)

You can access the buff locked behind that garrison

[thorn marlin]

So does [Chapter 14 final boss] have insane arts res or something, or does Logos S2 maxed out just suck?

[ocean silo]

Wrong channel my bad

[sterile delta]

you are aware of the dust damage reduction right

[thorn marlin]

Just tried it for the first time- can't say I quite understood it.

[full terrace]

You see those particles orbitting Theresa?

They give her DR

[sterile delta]

read the enemy info tab, she gains 90% damage reduction from all sources if there are particles between her and the source

you have to tank them to get your damage in

[thorn marlin]

Ah. That would do it.
For my first attempt, I had mlynar and Logos barely scratching her from a range. So I just need to put someone in there to get her to actually take damage.

Makes sense. Thanks folks.

[sterile delta]

yep

also i would read the banish skill too

[thorn marlin]

Oh. So cocoon cage is like being so dead, you can't redeploy.

Damn. That's brutal.

[glass monolith]

It is like JT8-3 burn - People don't plan around it then die

[thorn marlin]

Couldn't be me, trying to outheal it with Nearl and Ptilopsis.

[full terrace]

Yes but there is a trick

[glass monolith]

Thankfully her Cocoon is meme easy to cheese, just retreat all (8 tiles) who is around her when her HP reaches point when she apply it

[thorn marlin]

I wish it could say when. "A certain amount of HP" is quite nonspecific.

[glass monolith]

Because at some point it can be multiple thresholds at different points

[thorn marlin]

Oh god.

(I know this is also on me for insisting on playing this on adverse no matter what, but damn)

[glass monolith]

Well it is core boss gimmick bs so not like version change it

[thorn marlin]

True. It just makes things beefier and hit harder.

[glass monolith]

Somewhere around 50% on stage, around 66/33% on H stage

[thorn marlin]

o7
Alright, take 2 on this boss. Let's give this another shot, now that I'm not blind to it.

[sterile delta]

when shes about to do the cocoon around her she raises her hand

look out for it when you're close to the hp threshold

[glass monolith]

Or just retreat prematurely and inflict enough damage into 90% DR

[noble pewter]

What new buffs will be available for vec b4 trim deadline?

[thorn marlin]

Hokay. That was significantly easier. Thanks folks.
The damage was better.
The emotional damage I received was unparalleled.

(God, ch. 14 wrecked me)

[queen axle]

is shu a must here

[full terrace]

New buff is next week, and I believe Trimming will end by end

[sullen rover]

:lappphone:

[dusty cedar]

So apparently, Hoshi talent 1 bypasses mechanic's shield count thing

Yes I just came here to say that

[pearl compass]

[queen axle]

[dusty cedar]

Like yeah, boss sees the one person that goes I will hit you back if you hit me

There goes the shield mechanic

[pearl compass]

Oh you mean damage ignore

[dusty cedar]

The uh the shield count thing on the boss

They made it count-based instead of amount of damage, kinda like dusk event mobs

Which, apparently, if he hits hoshi (and mind you the boss hits really fast) it also counts on the counter

Get the boss to hit hoshi like twice plus the aoe skill and his shield just vanishes lol

Or you know, drop a yato alter s2 idk

Anyway thx for my ted talk coming

[slow ferry]

those mt-s-3 snipers are so annoying

[dusty cedar]

Casually one-shots your medics or snipers

[queen axle]

mts3 and mts2 is more tame than whatever vec12 is cooking

[full terrace]

Ling

[dusty cedar]

Need not say more

[earnest bobcat]

So quick question, how on topic and for help, and mostly help is this channel anyways?

Like the pins tell me one thing, but the general vibe of the channel tells me another.

[dusty cedar]

General for vibes and fuzzy chat
Strategy for genuine strats
Help's a lil all over the place

[earnest bobcat]

Help feels like a hyper focused channel on help, help, and only hell.

[dusty cedar]

Don't bother if you are't a mega newbie, stick to here or just learn the game imo

Unfortunately attracts the unhealthiest discussions in there really

[solemn narwhal]

i hope mechanist burns in hell

[dusty cedar]

GGs doktah

[earnest bobcat]

Not too sure, I scraped by myself just now.

But she does have high bulk, really good healing, so it feels like she has a good chunk more durability than most other units + the teleport utility comes in handy against some enemies trying to sneak through.

Yu to clump up the two enemies for Lemuen satellite bombing meta?

[queen axle]

ill go try without shu

[acoustic slate]

What does this mean
Did you leave a word out

[solemn narwhal]

not sure how to even deal with mechanist in 12 without using yu to tp and block him tbh

[queen axle]

[solemn narwhal]

ulpi worked in 8 but didn't work in 12 for me bc pressure in middle was too much so deploying ulpi up top was a gg

[dusty cedar]

Please don't tell me 12 is THAT hard

I'm pulling at my hair over here

[queen axle]

its impossible if u dont have the right ops without buffs

fire

[solemn narwhal]

it took me a lot of tries but i'm bad at the game so your mileage may vary

[earnest bobcat]

same

[dusty cedar]

Man I hope I can figure something out

[earnest bobcat]

There was a lot of experimentation.

Since Mechanist hits like a nuclear warhead.

[dusty cedar]

If they seriously force-meta this stage Idk man

[solemn narwhal]

tbh i had the strat down pretty early but it kept messing up one way or another

[dusty cedar]

Trial and error

The doktah way

[solemn narwhal]

so i kinda had to lock tf in and sweat really hard

[lapis hornet]

ulpi can tank no

or spalter

[solemn narwhal]

worked in 8 but not in 12

[dusty cedar]

A nuclear bomb could go off and Ulpi would still be tickled

Nothing he can't tank through

[queen axle]

he dies without glad

[dusty cedar]

Module circumvents that most of the time tbh

[queen axle]

or more accurately, gets oneshot at full health

[solemn narwhal]

yeah i had to give him a whole medic squad in 8 LMAO

[dusty cedar]

If you actually put him in a instantly kills operator aoe skill then uh

Idk that's on you

If it tanks it tanks

[solemn narwhal]

if you have enough healing he lives bc i genuinely did not see him get ohk'd

mechanist does do a lot of damage though

[slow ferry]

how do i deal with those rat fuck grenade shielders in mts3

[next wigeon]

More firepower

S-3 is a dps check

[solemn narwhal]

outrange and kill them first tbh

[slow ferry]

i literally cannot do that

[dusty cedar]

Bait or tank imo

[cyan plover]

you could also drop someone to take the aggro.

[slow ferry]

what fucking unit could i possibly use to do that

[solemn narwhal]

walter

[dusty cedar]

Don't get those fckers on your high ground ops

[slow ferry]

they deal splash damage and eventually overwhelm

they deal

splash damage

[dusty cedar]

What crack did they smoke to make them do aoe every 1 nanosecond lol

[cyan plover]

Bait it with gravel or something

[dusty cedar]

Okay put high ground ops away from splash damage

[next wigeon]

https://youtu.be/zP4eBfHRLMY

Use this as a reference

[solemn narwhal]

or exialter s2 lets her tank some hits

[slow ferry]

where man

fucking where

[cyan plover]

Wdym where

Wherever your other ops aren't present that's where.

[cyan plover]

Bro

[earnest bobcat]

Gravel's schtick is that she's very good at getting deployed, soaking up a hit or two, dying, and then being able to be deployed again.

[limpid parcel]

Watching Yu and Ulpi get absolutely obliterated by mechanist is so dumb lmao

[cyan plover]

There's other places aside from that red spot

She could be sleeping state but she still aggros

[earnest bobcat]

Last deployed target prioritization.

[slow ferry]

what part of aoe splash do you not get

it kills the healers and exu2 around gravel

[solemn narwhal]

tbf we don't have the good buffs yet since it's day 1 i think

[earnest bobcat]

You deploy her away from the healers and the Exu 2...

[earnest bobcat]

[lapis hornet]

can just wait for easier buffs if yall can't beat vec 12 smh

[slow ferry]

she isnt gonna fucking be awake to absorb because of the dream tiles??

[gentle dove]

I'm free

[slow ferry]

sleeping ops dont get targeted

[cyan plover]

She doesn't need to be awake bro.

[earnest bobcat]

They can't block, so they can't get targeted by things that hit what they block.

But they are legitimate targets for ranged attack using enemies.

[dusty cedar]

GGs doktah

[cyan plover]

Where tf u got that info from? If gravel doesn't work there's plenty of ranged tiles for ranged ops to bait.

My bad didn't mean to crash out.

[slow ferry]

i crashed out too its fair

im just tired of dps check

[gentle dove]

Can't believe I have to use Shamare

[dusty cedar]

When you have a good chokehold strat ready then see that one enemy

(Snipers stun your blocker)

[slow ferry]

it takes like an entire s2 for exu2 to kill those shielders and i literally cannot raise her trust up to level her module

[cyan plover]

If you're fine with taking support ops in case you don't got eblana you could follow this guide.

[solemn narwhal]

yu seems to be a staple of vec 12 clears been seeing him a lot lmao

[next wigeon]

Shu is the staple

[dusty cedar]

Gonna challenge myself not to use those lol

Yeap definitely a good idea

[earnest bobcat]

Did a lot of us just universally independently arrive at the, use Yu to clump up bosses conclusion or something?

[solemn narwhal]

yu and shu seem to be popping up a lot

[dusty cedar]

Who knew displacement was that strong

Oh the devs specifically made a route for you to strategize?

[solemn narwhal]

i didn't even do that i just needed to tp mechanist to middle

[dusty cedar]

Nope, get over here, burst your ass

Yu in a nutshell

[next wigeon]

I did the latter part of this strat
https://youtu.be/Bn4_TOGbJfo

Hoedere usage over Shu

My Shu is not leveled up for this

I am also not giving her Mod3 and Lvl90 just for this nonsense

[cyan plover]

It needs lvl 90?

[queen axle]

[dusty cedar]

Man that sucks

[solemn narwhal]

my shu was lvl60 so

[dusty cedar]

I mean my roster is all 60 too

But I haven't gone to vec-12 yet so

[cyan plover]

Probably the Mod3's doing the heavy lifting, since it gives 5% more sanctuary.

[lapis hornet]

oh everyone copying the yu strat from sweep I see

[dusty cedar]

Do the enemies gain increase stats in vector?

I must be a dumbass cus I can't see any info about it

[solemn narwhal]

if you have a strong medic you can use yu to tp mechanist to middle and keep shu on bottom blocking that stupid giraffe

i mean i did it with reed so it's doable

[next wigeon]

As shown in the video, Shu gets murked on Lvl60

[dusty cedar]

Oh reed is unironically really good there

Her burst healing is insane

[next wigeon]

Doesn't have enough Hp

[solemn narwhal]

yeah but off cycle yu will get cooked

[cyan plover]

Some do, it's in the stage desc.

[solemn narwhal]

happened to me more than once

[cyan plover]

I see. I can't confirm to what extent's necessary as I myself own a maxed shu.

[earnest bobcat]

The random as hell level 90 investment i did into Shu for passion actually contributed to something?

[dusty cedar]

All calculated

Mhm

[solemn narwhal]

you should get her to lvl90 anyway bc she's the goat 🔥

[cyan plover]

Ok from the vid there was 330 hp to spare. Lv70 Mod3 should do if we're min maxxing lol

Wait nvm forgot to take into account def.

No, yeah. Lv. 70 will leave shu at death's door but still lives.

[dusty cedar]

THE SNIPERS

Lol sorry

[cyan plover]

yes

[next wigeon]

Vec-10?

[dusty cedar]

Why did they put four of them omg

Yeah

Lee doesn't work either

[next wigeon]

I bait with Mylnar

[cyan plover]

drop a mlynar

[dusty cedar]

omg

[cyan plover]

Which other ops aggro? I forgot.

[dusty cedar]

Why did I not think of THAT

BRUH LMAO

[next wigeon]

Bubble

[solemn narwhal]

i legit just used myrtle as bait for exia

[cyan plover]

Well there's that op too

[next wigeon]

On S2

[dusty cedar]

Myrtle op best executor helidrop

[cyan plover]

Oh

[full stream]

Just use Yu s1

[full stream]

Has built in aggro

[next wigeon]

You can also use Lee

[solemn narwhal]

wait what do you MEAN ascalon has aggro

[next wigeon]

But its costly

[full stream]

S3 methinks

[next wigeon]

Correct

[full stream]

Yeah,checked gets heal from dodging so increase aggro

[solemn narwhal]

ambusher getting aggro feels so cursed

[full stream]

To dodge more

[dusty cedar]

I tried lee but uh

Is he not global? wtf

[cyan plover]

Supposedly Nightingale's summon got aggro too.

[next wigeon]

Huh?

[cyan plover]

who's global?

[dusty cedar]

Lee's s3 aggro range

[next wigeon]

Lee eats 5 dp per stun

[dusty cedar]

Sry was just wondering

I'm pretty sure it isn't unlike mlynar

[glass monolith]

Are you sure enemy you trying to taunt don't have some "I don't care, i will attack whoever attack me"

[dusty cedar]

My ass I forgot

[crystal crane]

Running this comp for JT8-3 and really struggling. Anything I should change here?

[dusty cedar]

Can't generate dp, yeah lemme just drop lee

What was I smoking haha

[solemn narwhal]

yeah cage is aggro lvl1

[cyan plover]

You could borrow Logos S3 to cheese the stage.

[next wigeon]

Another medic?

[crystal crane]

I was considering leveling perfumer or ptiloptsis but not too sure

[ripe grail]

https://youtu.be/Bn4_TOGbJfo?si=q0MnudwzRJ4DJQtZ

so i'm using this strat for vec12
can saria lvl90 mod3 s1m3 replace shu or hoederer in this team comp?

[solemn narwhal]

chat what do we think about 1 cycling h15-4 boss

[next wigeon]

Already done

I used Warf + Ray on mine

[ripe grail]

someone hit hard and slow
high dph
i've seen a clear with amiya caster hyperbuff,
lemuen and ray doing so
