[pearl compass]

Ranged Angry Zombies from both sides.

[astral cosmos]

btw you can stop leveling your 6* e2s beyond 60

[pearl compass]

[light slate]

im in love with degen

im sorry 😞

[astral cosmos]

yeah i had that one in mind ok

[light slate]

shes carrying me

[astral cosmos]

i mean yeah thats understandable lol just know it's a waste

[light slate]

okie dokie i will stop that might be why im out of lmd.

should i lvl saria then?

[astral cosmos]

fun fact
e2 60 to 90 costs the same as E0 to E2

[light slate]

what..

oh

[astral cosmos]

for 5% stats

[light slate]

thats crazy

okay..

ive learnt from my mistakes

[astral cosmos]

that would help, but i would probably prio something like surtr before that

you can try what i said, rotating tanks for 9-19
do you have gravel

[light slate]

yea i was trying her and liked her but i felt like 3guards are so much

[astral cosmos]

it isn't really, as long as they provide value to your squad you can't really reason by class/archetype
more like what the operator brings to your squad with their kit

[light slate]

this is all my 5 sxtars

sorry for so many screenshots lol

[pearl compass]

btw about rotation... Mandra actually bans tile upon lazer attack if target dies/retreats, didn't she?

[light slate]

yes

she does :P

[somber falcon]

she does

[astral cosmos]

e2 ray and surtr first sounds like the angle

[maiden hound]

e1 ray 👀

[light slate]

i dont understand ray fully..

[pearl compass]

then I don't get it how rotation will save him

[astral cosmos]

she uses S3, that's why

[maiden hound]

it's just press s3 > deploy sandbeast

[light slate]

alrighty i can try to e2 her

[astral cosmos]

iirc you do have 3 tiles on top at least that are covered by 2/3 medics

[somber falcon]

you can just borrow to kill mandra

your team's good enough to handle the mobs

[astral cosmos]

the ideal angle would just be borrowing someone ya lol
or, drop 9-19 for now and come back later

[light slate]

i will see about 6-5 then

[pearl compass]

mmm okey, but just need to be fast then

[astral cosmos]

oh 4

i was lowballing

[pearl compass]

I always see only one

[astral cosmos]

i mean you kinda usually only use one

[light slate]

i seem to have died.-

[maiden hound]

er how about levelling cuora

to uhh tank the ranged guys

[light slate]

is liskarm genuninly that bad..

[foggy grove]

at tanking?

[light slate]

yea 😭

[foggy grove]

kinda

[light slate]

i see okie

[astral cosmos]

sentinel protectors are generally less specialised in pure tanking like protector defenders (cuora) are. they are more oriented towards their "i can hit aerial enemies" niche and their utility (sp battery, slow/DoT, etc.). so generally they're kinda whatever to build and don't bring much to your average squad.
the reason cuora is outright better for newbies is that by virtue of being a 4* she's very cheap to raise, and liskarm is a 5* so expensive to already E1. and E1 cuora >> E1 liskarm at tanking. so yup

[void terrace]

At e1 who is the best opener for is5

Is it still jusr wis...

[astral cosmos]

just use wis

[somber falcon]

your team can clear the stage just fine

miksa as stand-in for lisk

[light slate]

alrighty thank u very much everyone i will ake ur advice

[undone jolt]

I am terrible at this game, not even with all yhe advice i could beat jt8-3

I want to get good and all, but all clears i see use nightingale, thorns, saria e2, etc

My boss killers won't kill the boss

Sussuro cannot keep up with the burn

I have no resources

And worst thing, is that probably some chinese kid out there has beaten it second try with 3 stars only

There is so much shit going on

A tanky three phase boss

With the ability to wipe all your team

Summon rocks that deal a lot of dmg

A constant push of enemies not so tanky

But that are fast

[civic bear]

Frd bait fire

Units in 1 or 2 lines

[undone jolt]

I tried ciclyng with gravel yato, and jaye

[civic bear]

Don't put units adjacent

[undone jolt]

But sometimes talulah just decides to burn 3 units

And i don't have e2 nightingale to deal with fire storm

I don't have gladiia e2 level 60 module 3 to make ulpianus invincible

My saria is e1 level 50, i have no lmd

[civic bear]

Ulpi blocking right

The boss

Talulah should only burn the target she's attacking and two targets every 19s or so

Gravel yato jaye cycles those

[undone jolt]

But what about the fire storms tho

I cannot keep up with those

[civic bear]

Put units in 2 lanes

Who u borrowing

[undone jolt]

I tried wisadel and bursting at the spawn, and level 90 shu

I even use cantabille and exu skill 3 to bait fire

But somehow rng fucks me over

Or lack of perfect execution

[civic bear]

It's fine if ng e1 , use s2 . She's there mainly for the res.
Shu can't handle too much ..
Lemme draw like a quick placement

[undone jolt]

You mean someone like texas or yato alter?

[civic bear]

No as in just position

[undone jolt]

I could try borrowing them

[civic bear]

Borrowing wisadel logos better

Logos can stop fireball aswell

[undone jolt]

With his skill 3

[worn root]

Guard amiya is built to 1v1 the boss with healing support

[undone jolt]

She is only elite level 1

Elite 2 level 1

And i have no resources

[civic bear]

It's fine

Use s1

She doesn't need any invesment

Her s1 gives arts dodge

[undone jolt]

Still rng reliant

[civic bear]

So she tanks fireball surprisingly well

If u got medic

She has innate res

[worn root]

Medics

[civic bear]

She is decently tanky

Position units in red. Block boss in yellow

Burn is not a problem anymore

[undone jolt]

What about the rocks she spawns at phase 2

They one shot sussuro

[civic bear]

Those position

[worn root]

Use fast redeploys to remove them of they threaten to kill an op

[civic bear]

All ops handle the rocks except the two or three on the right

Just deploy any op to kill the right ones

Ulpi block tal middle facing up also good

Hits crystal aswell

[undone jolt]

I could try

[civic bear]

Ng top middle facing left on s2 is good aswell

[undone jolt]

Does talulah hit with the sword air tile units

[civic bear]

Heals blocker and the one tanking the lane on left

Talulah auto does hit high ground yes.

[worn root]

Yeh but she will target last deployed

[civic bear]

But yeah just last deploy ulpi is good

[undone jolt]

Skill 3 shenanigans

[civic bear]

Use s2 bro

S2 for the passive

Tho s3 is also Good

Let's you burst

Whichever

[undone jolt]

How does exusiai survive the fireballs tho

[civic bear]

Use s2

[tired relic]

wtf

[civic bear]

Get 7.5k HP . Give 7.5k HP to frontline

[undone jolt]

And fast redeploy

[tired relic]

it's been ages

[civic bear]

Tho sl7 is like 6k HP?

[tired relic]

hi ancool

[civic bear]

But that's total more than 15k HP

Which lives 10 fireballs

Yo sup

[tired relic]

did you take a break?

or were just inactive on discord

[civic bear]

No. It not a break

I just am not active I am employed

The j word

[worn root]

Bro is cooked

[tired relic]

wage slave

[smoky blaze]

JJ

[tired relic]

did you pull for leizi?

i mean ofc you did

p6 or p1?

[narrow pendant]

Only a leizi simp would pull pots

Since they unfort dont do really anything

[civic bear]

Not p6

Don't remember how much we got

[tired relic]

guardsknight

[civic bear]

I haven't played this game for like 4 months brah it all chill

[narrow pendant]

Still dont do anything

[civic bear]

Someone else doing the dirty work

[scarlet fulcrum]

U have Higher lv, but idk ur degen mod lv so

Actually u can wait a bit during 2nd phase with bait before pillar. For surehit kill, her shield reappear cause i just unga bunga there

[undone jolt]

Yesterday, i found out the fact in the hard way that me nor my account are good enough, arknights is indeed a very hard game, i was stressed, i doubted my abilities, i though i was not good enough, and i am still not, but someday i'll be back, and i'll beat this stage with 3 stars, without leaking anyone, thank you all for your support and ideas

This game is goated, and i love it

[violet sorrel]

[pearl compass]

Retry now until 3-Star.

[glass monolith]

[violet sorrel]

JT8 is talulah..?

[pearl compass]

Yes.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its quite nice to get used to deploy and retreat, welp if u decide not to abuse support. Its not farm node anymore anyway

[pearl compass]

Final Boss of Arknights

(former)

[undone jolt]

Hell nah, i ain't touching that stage until i elite 2 level 30 nightingale, e2 module 3 zuo le, and gladiia elite 2

I barely freaking made it

[violet sorrel]

ulpianus will do the job...

[undone jolt]

On one lane

[violet sorrel]

[undone jolt]

But what about the other one?

[smoky blaze]

You still havent complete it mikz?

You can add a healer to help ulpi btw

[undone jolt]

Atleast i did not borrow anyone

[undone jolt]

I had sussuro, ptilopsis, and silence

[smoky blaze]

I can make another one without borrowing. But its gonna take a lot of steps

[ancient spruce]

I cast logos

[undone jolt]

I ain't touchign that stage until i am good enough

[violet sorrel]

ah u tried to not borrow

[undone jolt]

Yeah, my ego may be fragile, but persistent

And i tried shu and wisadel and still failed

I was rushing that stage

Just had to cycle good enough

[violet sorrel]

i still remember wisadel solo carry that stage
after idk how many tries

just make sure bring a lot frd

ulpi
gladia
x1 healer
guardmiya
frds
surely will do

[smoky blaze]

Dont worry.. I have been in your position.
Clearing WD EX 8 CM with only og exu and gladia carry.

It took me several days to figure it out

[pseudo robin]

I can't get through level 7-4 with my team.Maybe someone will advise you who to replace in order to pass this level?

[vital arrow]

Its the same answer

No need to delete your message

Amiya is bad, especially on S3

Same with hung

Yu should be on S2

Replace ceylon with a silence or ptilopsis

[teal moon]

level up your newly e2 ops like Yu and Thorns
use Yu s2 and Amiya s1
some ops are kinda useless (Ceylon and arguably Hung/Lumen)

general advice not for this specific stage

[foggy grove]

open with exu

[pseudo robin]

thanks

[teal moon]

also, mod1 your Exu2

[light slate]

thank u very much so my degens mod lvl is uh like 3 i think idk

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah thats overkill already, which is nice

[pseudo robin]

up mod exu? im sorry im bad in english

[teal moon]

do module level 1 on your Exusiai alter

[vocal leaf]

this stage feels really well thought to showcase leizi ⚡

[exotic grove]

https://youtu.be/NOXNTmP39Lo?si=KMgftnSTcNwO6nC4

stuck on the last wave of the little stabby things

how do I clear this bruh

[shell pawn]

Kinda got stuck on 7-18, i managed to find a way to break through phase 1 prety easily thanks to Wis`adel, but in second phase, Patriot just one shots every single one of my agents, and then i get flooded by normal enemies 👀

[exotic grove]

give me a sec to make a vid

waltuh degen and exia clear this easily

[shell pawn]

thanks!

[narrow pendant]

Why are we using myrtle s2

Wait is that some redhairknights shit or sum

[narrow pendant]

Borrow a better wis

Yours unmodded and thats bad

[flint tulip]

I trink that this wisadel is strong enough even, the problem is probably that bro is not doing things right

[modern plover]

Nah

[exotic grove]

internet being slow

[exotic grove]

yes

myrtle S2 for healing

[vocal leaf]

you do more damage if operator is opposite color

ascalon on white should kill them easily

[exotic grove]

ascalon is on white but her skill goes on cooldown

[exotic grove]

https://youtu.be/PhoGJSq76wo?si=CoJMrRjWts0vdrY0

I’m trying to do a cleaner one but I keep goofing on exia s2 activation

btw this is modless waltuh

[shell pawn]

Got it! Thanks again

[exotic grove]

https://youtu.be/u7Nl-kGMKKw?si=bDz1hqw4n_ARyhtr

[shell pawn]

so far the only problem i can face is the replacement of vigna because uhh i never got her after 48 levels yeaaa

[exotic grove]

cleaner version less ops
for some reason I have to activate wife’adel s3 as patriot revives and drop someone next to patriot for him to not target exia

mountain or some other e2 melee with decent damage can replace vigna

all she does is early hold and deal with mortar guys

[latent halo]

uhh

[exotic grove]

hell you could use poncirus at the start to hold while u get dp for degen from fang then replace with mountain

[latent halo]

borrow a max mountain

[exotic grove]

? they’re borrowing waltuh

[latent halo]

why ?

borrow max mountain and you can leave the lane

[exotic grove]

I mean look at their screenshot

[exotic grove]

en can’t read

[latent halo]

yea exu 35 lvl can kill his p2 easily no ?

[exotic grove]

omg bro

[latent halo]

let me

show you

the old trick

[exotic grove]

do you mean leave him near the left to clear trash mobs?

because what I’m interpreting your statement as is replace vigna with borrowed mountain
I apologize if that’s incorrect

ok sorry I misinterpreted your statement

yeah you could replace walter white with e2 mountain for mob clearing actually if you use degen or whatever to clear patriot phase1

[latent halo]

phase 2 patriot only have like

700 def ?

iirc

exu melts it

[latent halo]

@shell pawn

you can try this if you had enough

[shell pawn]

that is actualy insane, but i need to get resources for E2 Mountain

So yeahh

[latent halo]

borrow

[shell pawn]

still thanks

[latent halo]

you dont need wis

[shell pawn]

hm, alr imma try it

[latent halo]

use 12 slot for patriot phase 2

[exotic grove]

lol sorry for jumping to conclusions that’s actually genius

[latent halo]

🙏

[exotic grove]

do you have any genius tips for this? ascalon s3 still can’t clear the last wave

[latent halo]

sec

@shell pawn use this one

the perfect version

[latent halo]

red hair knights ?

is there other option for it intead of nymph

surtr ?

exu alter ?

[shell pawn]

thanks again

[latent halo]

maybe move ascalon to one of these red tiles ?

if you are using s3

she will heal herself

[latent halo]

i switched ascalon placement

and it worked

[uneven arrow]

I'm not sure how big the envy's range are, but if it's not that big, why not try placing Ray one tile left facing down

[exotic grove]

reddish purple hair only
so exia, yu, surtr don't count

omg no way let me try

[uneven arrow]

I still don't know how things would lineup after but if that works, maybe it can open up more operators

The main problem just seems to be Free's 2nd phase

[exotic grove]

hmm let me try switching to myrtle s1
since I have s1m3

[vocal leaf]

does purestream count?

[exotic grove]

actually yes she does good idea
kind of a stretch but we'll see

[vocal leaf]

ray and purestream sprites show a very similar tone

[exotic grove]

bro omg thank u so much

I tried that before but I was on s2 and that's why it didn't work
I also tried killing free earlier using ray facing down but that caused more problems in the end lol
looks like I didn't even need nymph tbh

[latent halo]

3 op

[exotic grove]

woah

I keep failing the rng check on ascalon

[latent halo]

2 op

good luck

[latent halo]

you can do this

🙏

final result

if someone can do 1 op imma give him a good suck

probly ascalon super mald

[exotic grove]

did you use mody?

[latent halo]

no

[latent halo]

do you need the placement ?

[exotic grove]

sure
I just keep failing rng check and ascalon dies lmao

could also be because ray and ascalon are only lv60 mod1

[latent halo]

retreat ray after she killed sui

ascalon mald

then redeploy ray here

[glass monolith]

Ascalon S3?

[latent halo]

her rpd time perfectly matches

by the time her skill is up

[glass monolith]

For how fucking long i slept for people to find use to Ascalon S3

[latent halo]

sui was in her range

press ray skill

stage done

took me a bit of time to calculate sui movement

[exotic grove]

bro is actually einstein

[latent halo]

idk , he asked me if i can give him a tip

wait no

when sui walks here

pop s3

and wait for ray

the timing is not tight

the ascalon mald is

good luck

[exotic grove]

I might need ascalon lv90 or mod3 or something 😭
the malding is fr

and the two big hands mob guys keep slipping past once I kill free

[latent halo]

fire cracker

does a bit of dmg

[exotic grove]

I used em all

[latent halo]

stick with 3 op

no one will upload 2 op clear

trust

[exotic grove]

nymph I got u a job
unemployed no more

ngl you can upload 2 op clear you deserve it

[latent halo]

nah , all good

im just here to help

[uneven arrow]

Damnnnn

[smoky blaze]

[uneven arrow]

I'd love to see that clear

[latent halo]

I mean with the niche

[exotic grove]

wisadel doesn't have reddish purple hair

[smoky blaze]

Oh is it red squad

[latent halo]

Good clear still

🙏

[smoky blaze]

Then count me in

[exotic grove]

I've been mal,ding
ascalon rng check

[latent halo]

EM clear fyi

[exotic grove]

what is EM

[latent halo]

Emergency

[exotic grove]

I see
did you use sandbeast to kill free on first tile after red box?

[latent halo]

Ya

Retreat after

[exotic grove]

ok so I am doing it right
aaa

[latent halo]

Rdp time isn't that tight no ?

[exotic grove]

the problem is that ascalon keeps dying

which leads to one of the snakes getting past and killing nymph too

im malding so hard
gonna go to the store or something try again

[latent halo]

Rip

Almost

Can you show me the list of the operator with reddish purple hair

Maybe you can replace nymph with someone else

[exotic grove]

does that keep ascalon alive tho?

[latent halo]

Maybe shamre s2

You only need a tiny bit of dmg for middle left right

[exotic grove]

yeah

[latent halo]

Shamare s2 might work

Bit of dmg + keeping ascalon alive

[exotic grove]

I don't have her e2 so not enough dmg agh

[latent halo]

Do you know how to save doll ?

For shamare s2

[exotic grove]

don't know what that means

[latent halo]

Deploy shamare

When her doll is available retreat her

Next time you deploy her you don't have to wait for the doll

[latent halo]

Shamare talent give fragile to enemy that is low

Ascalon DOT might do the work

With some normal attack from shamare

Random thoughts

[exotic grove]

I think I need lv90 or mody lv2+

or insane rng

[latent halo]

I'm using X

[exotic grove]

lv1?

[latent halo]

X3

For extra DOT dmg

[exotic grove]

yeah that's the problem

I can't afford mod3

so she just doesn't kill fast enough and dies as a result

[latent halo]

Borrow ?

[exotic grove]

I don't think that'll help either
half the time she just dies because of rng
since it's only 50% chance

[thick tinsel]

What’s a good way to deal with campaign chapter 6-5?

[latent halo]

50% chance and another 50% miss on enemy

[exotic grove]

only when skill is up

she dies when skill goes down

the instant skill is deactivated she dies

[latent halo]

Borrow a skill 2 hoshiguma

Most enemy will kill themselves

Penance s3 might work too

Lin s3 works too

[thick tinsel]

Would lvling my lvl1 hoshi be fine? Or would that be too much work for that one battle?

[latent halo]

Hmm

Depends on how good is your medic

Borrow a Lin s3

She will make that stage easy

🙏

[thick tinsel]

Top medics. Haven’t had a major need for them since I have gummy, but…

Usually chestnut and perfumer are the two I bring.

[latent halo]

Reed s2 is fine

[bitter void]

how is your game so smooth

[latent halo]

Bottom mid face left

Then deploy hoshiguma

Pop reed skill when you see the red guy

[thick tinsel]

Where would she go? Reed

[latent halo]

Reed on that one range tile on bottom mid

[exotic grove]

idk yours isn't?
i swear if this stupid dragon kills ascalon one more time im gonna eat him alive
lil bro has aimbot or something I swear

[thick tinsel]

My current team. Who needs to leave for reed?

[latent halo]

No one , borrow Lin instead

[thick tinsel]

Thx. I’ll work on it to see what I can do

[latent halo]

You sure you can't clear 6-5 ?

I feel like it a bit overkill

Even without borrowing anyone

[thick tinsel]

I can manage to stop the ranged people in the top row, but the last two heavy’s manage to slip by at full hp

[latent halo]

Ascalon s2

To slow them down

[thick tinsel]

Thx! Be back in, say, half an hr if I still can’t figure out how to beat it😅

[lapis hornet]

np

[latent halo]

Fyi exe s2 can dodge melee attack , you can try

Lemuen face up with s3 might give you surprise

Might as well take out Jessica and put reed in

You got this

[south spindle]

Gummy S1 can't sustain enough?

[latent halo]

It should

[south spindle]

So many E2 4* rip wallet

[latent halo]

Maybe the main deal is 1750

[thick tinsel]

But, isn’t her talent help more than meteor’s

[latent halo]

Take out for this stage

Replace when you need anti-air

[south spindle]

I can't lie Jessica is pretty awful in general

A little over invested into so i guess you can keep using her

Just be careful moving forward

Most 4* can stay at E1

[thick tinsel]

I love that surprise with elite or bosses

[south spindle]

I just tested it, E2 + mod + Skill level 7 gummy does fine to open the stage, just struggles without healing when the later guys coe in

[latent halo]

Reed s2

[south spindle]

can we see your vanguard list

sort by rarity

better yet, make a https://krooster.com

account

[south spindle]

surfers the best vanguard you have

even at E1 she will accomplish more than scavenger at what you need for a lot of stages

[latent halo]

I'll leave it to you

Sleep time

[south spindle]

no no

get back here

[latent halo]

[south spindle]

study time

[exotic grove]

im losing my mind

[south spindle]

ok Radio's turn

[exotic grove]

this rng makes genshin impact feel generous

[thick tinsel]

Let me test April’s strat first🤣

[south spindle]

No this isn't about this stage

Im talking about in general

[exotic grove]

OMG PLS

WORKKK

YESS

omggggg
I got so lucky too because I goofed nymph placement
put her facing down instead of to the right
because I didn't notice enemy lost DOT

[exotic grove]

https://youtu.be/ruTZXAVSuLc?si=-RVlGi_7JHHoVIZP

[smoky blaze]

Exu asca also can do it but on EM need a tons of dodge rng.

I have no time for that

[exotic grove]

pink woman detected

gj tho

unfortunately neither exia nor lemon qualify for my niche

wanted to nuke that dragon so bad

I wonder if 1op clear is even possible

[smoky blaze]

If the boss didnt do a splash dmg every 30s

There is a chance for wis to do it

Otherwise just ling, ig

[exotic grove]

sui on sui violence

[smoky blaze]

Or eblana

[exotic grove]

eggbanana rng check? just put me in the grave already

[foggy grove]

wis solos borken

[smoky blaze]

Rng always rewarding

[uncut lark]

Need advice on clearing WR-10.

It's the Freeling and Dusk boss fight.

Any tips?

[somber falcon]

just kill it normally

space out your ops

[uncut lark]

Ah... how exactly do I do that?

[somber falcon]

wdym how, just don't put your ops next to each other

[uncut lark]

That... sounds difficult.

[foggy grove]

literally don't put them adjacent

[wicked minnow]

i thought the cross attack was like 2 tiles long

like 1 more after adjacent

[uncut lark]

It definitely feels that way.

I tried following a guide on YouTube, ended with my healer getting killed by the cross attack despite being two spaces away.

Is this team good enough or do I need to switch? I literally have zero 6 star defenders.

[somber falcon]

it is, but the stage alr have super friendly layout for that

[uncut lark]

My Thorns, Gummy, and Mountain all got one-shot by that dumb Freeling.

[violet sorrel]

are you open for borrow?
if yes just blast em with wis

[uncut lark]

How big is that blast anyways? Also how do I break it??

[violet sorrel]

swap texas with thorns or mountain

that's it

deploy wis > myrtle > ulpi > thorns
wis skill after boss spawn
phase 2 cancel
win..

[uncut lark]

Regular Texas or Texas Alter? Because I only have the 5 star Texas and she's still E0.

[violet sorrel]

change texas to thorns

[uncut lark]

I don't have Texas in the team though?

[violet sorrel]

no

i mean

[violet sorrel]

this

u see my texas standing there?

swap her to thorns

[uncut lark]

Again, I only have 5 star Texas and she's E0.

[violet sorrel]

wallahi

no texas brother

wait

[uncut lark]

I haven't built her up at all

This is the team I'm using.

[violet sorrel]

[elder flume]

Keyword "my" Texas in the picture of the map with the squad placements
Merely placements
Not the operator to use

[elder flume]

If Amiya has mod i prefer S2
Tho i forgot does Sui have high res
Might be worth S3

[uncut lark]

I'm gonna need the step-by-step. Also it has an A rank in RES, so possibly.

[violet sorrel]

step 1: borrow wisadel

[uncut lark]

Also who is that guy on the right with Myrtle?

[violet sorrel]

ulpianus

[uncut lark]

Alright, what next?

[somber falcon]

[uncut lark]

Maybe in words? I don't do well with visual cues.

[violet sorrel]

since i don't have similar ops build, i'll stick to borrow wisadel
deploy wis > vanguard > thorns > tragodia > ulpianus
activate wis skill when boss spawn
after 2x kaboom should be dead, cancel her skill
after going phase 2, bait boss with trag kitty to mid, done

[cedar needle]

Can also just borrow wis and activate Wis skill on cd first time, then save second skill when boss spawn, and third skill on cd again

Use the firework to swap Wis attribute once before boss spawn

[violet sorrel]

i tried using wis solo, i'm the one who got blasted

[cedar needle]

Idk if solo is possible since those exploding mobs can dmg her through camouflage, but I tried to keep right side as simple as possible so the only thing that matters is pressing wisadel skill

[uncut lark]

kk.

[foggy grove]

wis can solo just kill them before they meet

[cedar needle]

If she kills them close enough then she takes dmg still

Them dying without meeting the opposite attribute still cause an explosion

Ok arkrec has a Wis solo, i guess I just didn't try enough

[foggy grove]

i mean wis solo usually riddled with rng during offskill

[sly drift]

He solo dps the other tower too. Without grass removing device even.

[lime lantern]

what should i use for 9-4 cm?

[pearl compass]

Ines.

[lime lantern]

err

[pearl compass]

S3.

You actually want to do defence on very center, imo.

[lime lantern]

casters spawn up top too

[glass monolith]

Totter do a thing

[violet sorrel]

blast em here

[pearl compass]

Ines infiltrate both starting Casters on top lane.

[pearl compass]

^^^

S3 plz.

[glass monolith]

You kill ones which afk whatever long, then what

[lime lantern]

hm alr let me try s3

alright ty

[austere skiff]

@inland moat one other thing you could do is like

bring noir corne as a sacrificial lamb

place him down before artillery strikes away from your team

[inland moat]

I have mostly relied on my shu and ulpi to act as blockers till now so im just changing my setup and using SA Ulpi and Qiu as blockers instead so I can drop noir corne to bait the artillery

[austere skiff]

which stage are ya struggling on

[inland moat]

none in particular, managed to clear until my sanity was out. I just didnt like how inconsistent/messy my clears were and wanted to have a better grasp of the mechanic. I'm only halfway through but rn im just statting through by outleveling and it definitely wont last

[glass monolith]

Don't forget blocking slime is +1 block count which is here to screw up your plan

[inland moat]

yeah thats been the problem. Ulpi kills all his slimes and falls under the block count of my other operators so he can't tank the nuke. Or he gets his s2 dealyed a ton from the procs from slimes

[austere skiff]

make sure the slimes are dead before you place corne

[inland moat]

rn im using wanqing as my flag op but tbh its annoying how slow his s1 is to come out and he's 10 dp. Does myrtle have a higher starting SP than wanqing?

[glass monolith]

You don't really "tank" cannon. You "I take you down with me" with cannon

[inland moat]

ulpi can tank cannon pretty handily so can my leizi if I time the s1

[austere skiff]

you could also just borrow ling and have the thunderers tank everything

higher thunderers have 4 block

[inland moat]

yeah but I could just borrow ling and clear most stages in the game, gets a bit boring then :P

[glass monolith]

Borrow Wisadels in between

[inland moat]

I have been having to stop myself because she makes my IS runs so boring lol

[elder flume]

my strat for chap 10 was just Feater Shaw S2 behind main blocker and shift the slugs away into Noir blocking away from the team before it explodes

[glass monolith]

I respect path of no friends assist, just don't expect game not screwing you over.

[inland moat]

wait this is such a good idea idk why I didnt think of it

[glass monolith]

Because average sane person won't try to push trouble somewhere else

[pearl compass]

"oh no, I cannot borrow broken unit, because it will be so boring, so I'll complain about using Main Story/event mechanic instead"

[inland moat]

complain?

[exotic grove]

he's always like this ignore him

[maiden hound]

half the help regulars are cunts

[inland moat]

interesting people everywhere lol

[exotic grove]

not using op support is respectable
I think u got a bunch of cool strategies to go try out now
my favorite will always be cheap defender bait tho
or silence alter invincibility
cannon rarely fires more than 2x per battle

[glass monolith]

Silence alter S3 issue is we have 2 targets within cannon now

As if they knew where giving them this cringe range that people would break system if it was anything else

[pearl compass]

We already have stage with x2 Cannons simultaneously

"Sands of Time" and "Enter Enmity"

[glass monolith]

I mean you can't silence alter s3 with her outside hit range

At least if I recall shapes

[exotic grove]

aw man

[pearl compass]

Lin S3.

[exotic grove]

and here I thought silence alter would finally be useful for something other than looking cute on the battlefield
and occasionally stopping someone from dying

[glass monolith]

She is useful to learn that awkward range by time Haruka dropkick all Abjuerers and not Eyja Alter medics

[exotic grove]

haha yeah
honestly I'll still use her even when I get haruka

[teal moon]

nicee in base

[exotic grove]

she's being put to work making lyudmila bully compilations
with mlg edits

[latent halo]

i thought most ppl have tried quercus before

[sly drift]

Yea.. Ejya healing amount it's already more than enough unless you play fuckass like Vector or IS peak diff, CC or something (Which somehow doesn't even need goood healing too for some reason)

What's matter is now range, which Ejya clearly superior. I think I too will still use Ejya more than Haruka.

[short garnet]

bruh, i can't beat ls-6

its like most of kyostiv's strats are outdated

[violet sorrel]

[short garnet]

ok fucking finally i did it

the timing can sometimes be shit depending on what strat youre using

[pearl compass]

So it's not KyostinV's fault, apparently.

[short garnet]

i wish there was a restart option instead of just continue or quitting when you're about to leave the level

[pearl compass]

Sorry

CC-exclusive thing

[foggy grove]

just don't lose ril

[pearl compass]

First try it

[short garnet]

you first tried the stage?

[pearl compass]

Yes.

Cause I first watch YouTube, then I get the idea and setup my squad like so.

[short garnet]

bruh imma crash out

like how do you get the accuracy skill activation right?

*did

[violet sorrel]

can try play on x1 speed if needed

[pearl compass]

You just follow step by step.
Pretty sure he has E1-60, Sl7, Trust 100%.

Everything that differs from that may affect your whole team performance.

[short garnet]

well, its a good thing that im planning to max out my low rareity units first

despite the fact that i have a crap ton of 5 stars and 6 stars

[pearl compass]

You may concentrate on 6☆ instead of following guide word by word.

Even Kyo said in 4-4: "I just gave the idea of how to beat it, you don't have to carefully repeat it step by step"

Optimize something you can optimize.

[latent halo]

repeatly pressing pause

to get the right frame

[smoky halo]

its not that it doesnt need healing its that you cant outheal if the enemy 1 taps or 2 taps u

like wtf r u gonna do when even eyja doesnt stop ur ops from dying lol

might as well not bring her if she cant do the job of keeping ops alive

[austere skiff]

no use for a medic if your ops get obliterated in a single hit

[sly drift]

Yea.. that fall into the "Fuckass" category I mentioned above.

[ornate ether]

Chat how to kill theresis now that I know how to pull him I need to know how to defend against him cus Theresa killed everyone in a single boom💔
(Is5)

[sly drift]

• Have enough relic that sustain you better
• Ejya Alter because a lot of elemental damage
• Kill Theresis as fast as possible using True damage

[austere skiff]

I need help for 11-17

the tree people I forgot their names are too tanky for everyone to kill

[sly drift]

Shu S3 is one of the best pick here because she can pull Theresis back to her during transition phase 1 to 2. She also give everyone Sanctuary

[somber falcon]

Kill late = chonky guy
Kill early = ezpz

[sly drift]

Isn't 11-17 scripted stage

[somber falcon]

Oh it is

Just play it normally then

It's made to be clearable with the preset

[austere skiff]

im too fucking tragodiapilled to handle them without the cat of anguish and misery

also nvm found a guide

[worn root]

Caticted

[austere skiff]

if I don’t have lemuen to summon an artillery fire or leizi2 to perform unauthorised shock therapy then it’s joever for me

[sly drift]

Good thing you were born in modern times

[austere skiff]

[ornate ether]

Dawg I just defeated them thanks dawg

[woeful mesa]

Any tips for 12-20 challenge?

[pearl compass]

Bring a Wandering medic.

And kill enemies on left side.

[woeful mesa]

My problem is dealing with the right side

Too many enemies too quickly

[pearl compass]

Vanguards.

[woeful mesa]

My strongest vanguards are Ines courier and Myrtle

[sly drift]

What do you have

[woeful mesa]

Can I send krooster?

[pearl compass]

Ines is basically enough to start developing.

[sly drift]

Just squad u use

There's a lot of Corrosion though

Everyone hate Damazti

[pearl compass]

Already said bring Wandering

[short garnet]

ik if my current 6 stars are good with the recent story stages and event stages that ive missed

[pearl compass]

So you may save some DEF.

[sly drift]

Shit is still wild if your wandering isn't Ejya

[pearl compass]

In 12-20, Honeyberry is enough, honestly

Sooner she will die anyway.

To Harold.

[sly drift]

She sustain phase 2 splash drone summon?

[pearl compass]

Should have.

Even if won't, she won't let anyone have 0 DEF.

[sly drift]

Just bring Gladia and let Ulpian solo Damazti ass

[pearl compass]

On H12 will happen.

[woeful mesa]

Alright, e2 gladiia?

[foggy grove]

h12 is a joke with his ops

[pearl compass]

Bro, it's literally skill issue with this squad, sorry.

[woeful mesa]

Ok

[pearl compass]

[woeful mesa]

Maybe I should switch out exu2

[sly drift]

With this You can actually just brute force it until it works

[maiden hound]

??

[pearl compass]

Ines and Thorns literally solvers right.

[woeful mesa]

Fair enough

[pearl compass]

When you can concentrate left and beat Damazti's sorry ass like in seconds.

[sly drift]

Yea.. pretty sure Exu2 will speedrun it

[pearl compass]

Or just E2 Gladiia and E2 Ulpipi just solo right.

Even without help of any medics.

[willow sun]

@tired relic since you want some proof so badly, here’s hoe vs exec, two laneholders meant to self-sustain
hoe (e2 60 p4 s1m3 mod3) gets melted by 3-5 slugs that do 112 dps (280 atk, 2.5s int, 336-560 total) and a dog with 350 atk (1.4s int, some go up to 500 atk) does 250 dps (2 block so 500 total)
exec can survive fine, s1 or even off-skill, since, well, that’s what he’s designed for, whereas hoe is designed to be susceptible to enemies just like these slugs
both are multi-target, attack speed based self-sustain operators
the only reason slugs are used here are because a consistent pressure of dogs and only dogs is very hard to find, but it doesn’t disprove the fact that he can and will die to dogs (or dog-level dps if you want to word it that way) if left unchecked
an example where you’d want to use his s3 is against hard hitting enemies with slow attack speeds, like the ch15 golems; the video ends short since i didn’t bring enough operators but he’s capable of killing two of these dangerous golems on his own while exec can’t even kill one and can only survive on-skill on s3
am i pitting the worst performance hoe vs the best performance exec against each other and vice versa? yes, and that’s the point, god forbid an operator have shortcomings and specializations
and no this isn’t meant to be a definitive use guide of hoe, just proving his s1’s strengths and weaknesses
don’t even get started on how he performs against dogs/slugs without mod or if this isn’t piss easy gen content that we’re talking about and the dogs get mildly buffed like in IS2

[elder flume]

[willow sun]

hi rain

[frank quail]

You guys think my team is better or nha

[elder flume]

hi green name theacc

[willow sun]

ya im now vomit colored

[frank quail]

Let me know what yall think i should change

[willow sun]

only took a few months, i thought they forgot about it and i kinda wish they did

[elder flume]

prob Plume or Myrtle or both or Shaw

[frank quail]

Im still in 2-9

[willow sun]

shaw/plume kinda doing nothing here, you could replace ng with a cheaper medic, saria and mountain are fine but try to e1 them first

[pearl compass]

Gitano, Meteor seems useless to me.

Shaw if no holes.

[willow sun]

amiya and gitano are also kinda piss useless (not to mention inconsistent) arts dps, take a look at click instead, might even be better than both of them

[pearl compass]

Needs to see whole roster.

Imo.

[elder flume]

.

[pearl compass]

Also Mountain pre-E1 does nothing.

[willow sun]

reroll for leizi angle? or did they say they dont wanna reroll

mountain saria kinda 🥹

no burst dps or high dph

[pearl compass]

May as second sniper, Gracebearer obviously in team, Spot, Ansel.

Fang is emergency blocker.

Fill the gaps with these, and you may continue.

[wanton torrent]

Guys i ve been stuck at 2-9, can someone help me choose what is the best team comp (12 operator) ?

[maiden hound]

check teambuilding guides in #help pins

[pearl breach]

sussage account 👀

[maiden hound]

kinda cheap one though

[pearl breach]

keep that for your secret

can you show me 2-9 map?

[pearl breach]

Oh drone map from both direction

[wanton torrent]

yea that kinda hard

[willow sun]

just build kroos and get krooster, should be pretty shrimple

[wanton torrent]

i mean on the spreadsheet, there s no clear solution for team building

[willow sun]

actually screw krooster just throw a bunch of marksmen at them

[wanton torrent]

like for pve/pvp

[willow sun]

err team building is kinda subjective, it depends on what stage your doing

there's no one team fits all

especially not as a newbie

[wanton torrent]

ooo

[wanton torrent]

so u need to build squad 1 by 1?

different stages, different build?

thats what u imply?

[elder flume]

ideally ye

[willow sun]

change your squad as you play, yeah, bring whoever you need

[wanton torrent]

then what operator to invest

[willow sun]

in this case, 2-9 is a special case where you need an abnormal amount of anti-air

[wanton torrent]

i mean resource are limited

[willow sun]

ill leave him to you guys i got a final in 3 hours to study for

[wanton torrent]

also wisadel cant hit drone

[maiden hound]

vermeil kroos kroos2 something

[willow sun]

read her archetype description

[wanton torrent]

i meant, if theres any tips and trick for operator to invest

i would appreciate it

[glass monolith]

You have 12 slots in squad, building 12 operators will take a while, literally. Usually recommended operators can be used generally even when you can't get max of their value.

[wanton torrent]

like 4 star 5 star 6 star

like minimum investment, or all in

i been looking on youtube after work, and i dont find anything

since 3-6 years ago

[maiden hound]

build em a couple of levels like 30 for the whole squadron then e1 then another 30

[glass monolith]

Majority of arknights YouTube is flex of min maxed clears or guides of "friend support this broken 6* while low rarity stall for time"

[maiden hound]

naturally there'll be exception for the ones who wants e1/e2

[wanton torrent]

can u tell me about e1/e2?

what is that

like constelation from genshin?

[glass monolith]

Promotion levels. 3 stars can be promoted without chips but only once. 4 star and above can be promoted twice. 5 star and above need dual chip which need chip catalyst and craft in factory

[wanton torrent]

oh promotion level

i see i see

[maiden hound]

didnae play genshin. gist is that each "elite/promotion" level gives you new skills (4star and up; only 6star gets a 3rd skill) and talent
after promotion your level reset but the stats keep

[wanton torrent]

yea genshin have like system when u gacha same char twice u get the cons

[maiden hound]

no need dupes here though

[wanton torrent]

alr thanks for the info

Also i have like (1) 6 star operator chooser, and (3) 5 star operator chooser, what should i choose from that?

[wicked minnow]

@lime lantern @teal moon highest quality you are gonna get for leizi2 s3 amount of ticks
1 tick on turret 5 ticks on boss. i dont know what happened on the first attack but every attack after that followed that 5 ticks 1 tick thing
https://youtu.be/CWnT8moIuhM

[lofty stag]

wtf shields now content creator

[wicked minnow]

pls no green name

[lime lantern]

time for more schizo

[wicked minnow]

can you apply for someone else for green name

[lime lantern]

i can try make my thing force 6 ticks

gonna be kinda scuffed tho

@wicked minnow 215k total dmg with 3 walls + leizi (not counting her passive random strikes)

~10.2k dps

[wicked minnow]

[lime lantern]

pretty good methinks

[wicked minnow]

yee i think it's quite nice potential

[lime lantern]

let me test 1block gap

lmao 104k dmg 4.9k dps

[wanton torrent]

i just made this team comp, is it good? or need some few changes?

[lime lantern]

(if leizi is right beside enemy)

[pearl breach]

no savage, no chestnut, no jes, no doc, no amiya, no myrh

[lime lantern]

2 walls directly besides target is already 157k dmg so i think its like really not that niche

[pearl breach]

[lime lantern]

with how little s2 reaches full range anyway its down to arts/phys probably

[tired relic]

i love content creators man
they have a knack for finding just the right content to make an op look OP/bad or to push their agenda
you see youre overlooking a major advantage of exec in the 2nd clip, you see those green numbers? he heals for all the targets he hits, the kind of ideal situation he needs to shine, 10x slugs 10x normal heal! meawhile hoe gets 1 instance only no matter if he is getting overwhelmed by 10x slugs doing consistent dps
mudrock is so OP here, but comparing her to hoe isnt a very fair comparison
also in 3rd clip just use s2 lol
your original statement: "hoederer as a laneholder is very inconsistent, he’ll die to trash but can hold elites fairly well on s1, there’s a sweet spot where he works like a charm but it’s rare to encounter"
he isnt inconsistent at all, you use skills that are apt for the situation

[wanton torrent]

For the jes,doc,amiya and myrh. any tips for operator who can fill that spot?

[tired relic]

kroos, tequila, click, purestream/silence/ptilop/sussuro

also savage can go

chestnut too

indigo too

tf

[pearl breach]

Jes >> kroos 3★ & 5★
Myrh >> can cope with ansel or later silence/ ptilo (from the free selector)
Amiya >> simply steward/ click
Doc & Savage >> SA from selector and tequilla later (both also free)

SA is silverash btw. I forget if you are newish

[wanton torrent]

SA/ Silver ash?

[pearl breach]

Yes.

[wanton torrent]

so silence here is good yea?

also blaze < Silverash?

[pearl breach]

Yes. Check #help pins for further recommended pick

[wicked minnow]

just to be sure i made a couple more tests to check whether the orb bouncing on her had any effect, it didnt. i also checked if stainless turret not firing had any effect, it didnt. also the 3 ticks on first attack against the boss seems to be consistent. i dont know why

[lime lantern]

@wicked minnow she dealt like 1/5th of the ch14's boss hp bar through 50 res

wird

[wicked minnow]

borken unit trust

[lime lantern]

now we can shill s3

🔥

[wicked minnow]

now? i've been shilling it since release

[lime lantern]

[wicked minnow]

im like the one guy that's been saying it's not a bad skill 🥹

[lime lantern]

s2 is the real potential skill

what fkn map has a 7x7 area just sitting there

🥹

[tired relic]

lone trail

[wicked minnow]

i mean s2 doesnt take a long time to ramp up even with less optimal spaces

s2 is perfectly fine

it's just that people sometimes downplay s3

[tired relic]

she is my 3rd m9

[wicked minnow]

[lime lantern]

"only good for dbs"

[elder flume]

i just use all 3 skills of most 6stars because i think theyre good enough and can be situationally better

[tired relic]

i agree

but mastering all 3 skills of most 6 star is pain

so i end up m3/m6ing most

[lime lantern]

idk like most of their s1s are ass

[tired relic]

"situationally better"

ulpi s1 is used for theresis

[elder flume]

me shilling S1 Phantom to be better than Gravel since release

[lime lantern]

find me a stage where exu2 s1 is used and ill m3 it rn 🔥

[maiden hound]

afk

[tired relic]

i think i remember

[lime lantern]

i do not count not playing the game as a usecase 🥹

[elder flume]

the answer is you can use it if you want

[tired relic]

it has highest dps if you deactivate it

instantly

[lime lantern]

gg

[lapis hornet]

exu s1 more useful than leizi s2 s3

[wintry python]

hey guys im dealing with BSL but never beat it before, its d7 pls help me out

i dont have collectible that disable self healing
i plan to leave the boss to schwarz wisadel and mon3tr

mizuki hold 1 lane and exu2 hold another

is it possible

[void terrace]

Does leizi s3 combo well with monster s2 / aak s3?

Im considering rasing her s3

But lowkey m9 for her feels like an overinvestment

[void terrace]

Just make sure monster is hitting it

[elder flume]

that squad should be enough for tearless BSL

[void terrace]

Monster with true damage shreds it fast

[worn root]

S3 works better in crampted spaces so it doesn't rlly matter about buffs

[wintry python]

where to place? right side?

[elder flume]

Kal IS + Ptilo + Mon3 healing + Trag cancel lol

[willow sun]

wait until he finds out the cc role is a joke
exec doesn't survive because of his healing alone, he survives because he has actual defense, yk the downfall of crushers? the whole point this is a debate? i could easily swap him out for galter and achieve the same results but i didn't because you wanted to push "oh hoe could never die to dogs" so i pitted two self-sustain laneholders against each other instead
yeah. maybe if youre fighting ch4 dogs. i'd be surprised if hoe could die in ch4 period, or anyone for that matter

[void terrace]

Right side

Preferably behind a blocker so it can focus the lock

[wintry python]

should i wisadel the boss also?

[tired relic]

bro used 20 dogs

[void terrace]

Place down healers fast too caus it does aoe dmg

[tired relic]

lmao

ofc he dies

[void terrace]

Yeah wis can cover a lane and the boss

[willow sun]

20 dogs should not be something a self-sustain laneholder is dying to

thats like... the whole point

[wintry python]

cause wis summons hits and make the boss burst like crazy

[elder flume]

how much damage loss is it if you remove 2 Shadows

[willow sun]

shadows are like 777 dps at e2 90 (660 at e2 60), so 1554 (1320) unless i'm missing something

[pearl compass]

She still hit thrice due to her subclass.

So she proccs fart much faster.

[void terrace]

Dosent matter much if you have enuf healing

[wintry python]

whats enuf healing

[void terrace]

Also just sheild your medic or wis with exu s2

[pearl compass]

"enough healing"

[void terrace]

And make sure exu dosent hit the boss

Caus that really will proc fart like crazy

[wintry python]

i dont think i have enuf healing if the boss burst twice in 1s

can mon3tr deal with the boss alone?

i dont have disable self healing

[elder flume]

theoretically should

[wintry python]

lol i always struggle with BSL but not any boss

[void terrace]

Dumb questions do trees in reclamation algorithm block leizi s2?

That would be very stupid but with arknights spaghetti code i could see it happening

If they dont she would be very broken in RA

[wintry python]

i not sure i can pass this BSL

[tired relic]

oh yes, lemme put this archetype against their worst enemy, he wouldnt die to normal dogs, props to u picking the dogs that increase block count

👍

[sly drift]

That would be the cringiest shit if the tree actually block Leizi S2 area

[willow sun]

check the math

the slugs are far weaker than dogs

[tired relic]

i would appreciate if you wont ping me

[willow sun]

it’s a fair fight to standard dogs

[tired relic]

im not pinging you either

[willow sun]

i… don’t really care?

[tired relic]

oh is it? he has 2 block calc the dps of two whatever enemies you want and 10-15 slugs

your argument is stupid

elite enemies get facetanked
trash enemies get killed

[void terrace]

Thank god they dont

So shes actually really broken in ra then

Caus the maps ae very open

And she can farm an even larger range or resources than mylnar

[sly drift]

Long ass cooldown though. Same as Mlynar.

Lemuen probably better but I haven't try it too.

[void terrace]

True but they both cant block and can charge up safely

[frank quail]

Look what I got with 1 roll is it any good

[worn root]

She aight

[frank quail]

Whats wrong with er

[void terrace]

Shes very flexible

But she dosent outclass anyone

Her s3 is very good at killing enemies in narrow corridors

S2 excells when there are wide open maps

S1 keeps her very safe and lets her deplpy in very hostile conditions

In short great mecahnics but you need to have good terrain awareness and planning

[pearl compass]

You played Mlynar?

[woeful mesa]

Skill solution

[pearl compass]

Good

[sly drift]

Whoever design this stage is actually need to go hell bro. I'm dead serious

[latent halo]

draft trag

he perma stall ice lock

[sly drift]

Don't you see he perma frozen

[latent halo]

unusual placement

[sly drift]

Everything is freezing

[latent halo]

i did not see him

[sly drift]

Tell me where to place him

Freezing drone literally come from all direction

[latent halo]

anywhere on middle face up

theres ice drone when phase 2

if you place trag there hes done

[sly drift]

There are drones from all direction

[latent halo]

i mean this placement

top left top right and right side
