strategy

[latent halo]

middle is safe lane

[sly drift]

Yea.. I redeploy him like three times in different places

Middle is one of them

If you don't kill right drone fast enough. No one is safe in middle

I mean every ranged is also die to Oboe guy.

It's total insanity

[latent halo]

[sly drift]

I mean even if I constantly deploy him on middle from the start. Who the hell will defend top left lane with that insane short path.

Probably really need perfect draft 10 six stars or something

How's the chance to get alter ending on diff 15?

Imagine getting perfect draft perfect relics and got normal ending instead

I would be very angery

[pearl compass]

Starting from D12+, 25%
Every time.

True for IS4.

[sly drift]

Only 25% for D15 too?

Why even the fk I got alters three times in a row

[light slate]

any help on 6-11.... 😞

[pearl compass]

Kill the Casters near your blueboxes with helidrop

Kill the spiders

Don't let any Cold source reach your defense OR kill Icecleavers before they start hitting your defense.

[light slate]

whats a helidrop

[pearl compass]

Strong (and preferably fast cooldown unit)
Main role is to kill annoying enemies which sits around and make your life worse by very their existence

Best offer is TexasAlter.

[light slate]

right.. only fast redp i have is gravel..

[pearl compass]

Cheap variation is Melantha/Utage + Gravel Combo.

[light slate]

if thats what u mean

ah

alrighty

i will try thank u

[pearl compass]

Or any strong melee if you like
Or ranged.

Even Kroos might kill both.

[light slate]

yea i thought that and i wanted to try with degen but her cd took to long

[latent halo]

still need help on 6-11 ?

[frank quail]

What you mean

[steel prairie]

Leizi Alter best skill is S2 right ?

[leaden sierra]

S2 > S1 > S3, but ofc situational

[teal moon]

you can do all of them, they are all good

s2 better overall obv

[unkempt lintel]

jj is the reason why i will have m9 leizi

[lime lantern]

[uncut lark]

Trying to clear DH-8. Those stupid boats keep exploding the cargo.

Okay, managed to clear it, but now I need help with DH-9.

[elder flume]

spam cat really

[elder flume]

maybe i need to lower my recording settings more

[lime lantern]

what should i do here

[pearl compass]

What do you mean by "what you mean"?

LITERAL.

You ever played Mlynar in your life or not?

You know how to play him?

[frank quail]

Low-key forgot mb

[leaden sierra]

ik I'm like an epoch late, but exu, logos, and amyia on theresis during phase 2, while Eblana holds the wave. Next time, you might also wanna switch Amyia to Caster or bring another true damage dealer.

[tired relic]

it can be brute forced but true damage is so much more comfy

also what kind of lineup is tht

[lime lantern]

idk i went like 20 combats with no guard voucher

[tired relic]

talons?

[lime lantern]

lamp lmao

[tired relic]

[sly drift]

How come dude do lamp run and managed to do 20 combats

[hollow skiff]

Hey guys, umm, can someone give me a strategy how to beat Skullshatterer?

[royal vale]

anyone able to help me w skadi's contract

[foggy grove]

don't block her
kill with your teq ez

[royal vale]

i keep dying to those slugs that 1 shot my skadi

[hollow skiff]

Skullshatterer keeps blowing up my Texas and my Adnachiel, they're like W but more annoying, and slashes my Lappland when being blocked

[smoky blaze]

send ur ops and stage name

[hollow skiff]

What's ops?

[foggy grove]

mate did you read,skullshatter range attack is weaker so don't block it

[smoky blaze]

the ops that u used

[hollow skiff]

I know, but, he just comes closer and targets my Adnachiel

[smoky blaze]

last deployment order matters

[foggy grove]

bait it with something tankier

enemy target last deploy

[hollow skiff]

Oh, yeah, forgot about that

Thanks, I'll go try this strategy

[topaz tapir]

I have no idea how my layout should look like

[maiden hound]

would move blaze to myrtle's position and sussuro goes right by 1 tile at the very least

ptilo goes north of kroos2?

probably can use some more range dpses

[lime lantern]

bottom side is definitely cooked

[topaz tapir]

I didnt fill the placements yet

[lime lantern]

what is teq lappland doing vs the statues

[topaz tapir]

but top side died to ranged units already

[topaz tapir]

why are temporary annis aids

[lime lantern]

idk, borrow wisadel?

[topaz tapir]

im getting tired of hearing this ngl

[lime lantern]

maybe do it

[topaz tapir]

no

how tf do i defend bot lane then

[maiden hound]

restart

[topaz tapir]

already did

i have no idea if i should replace anyone or what

[lime lantern]

idk u can just point wisadel left from just below blue box

[topaz tapir]

i dont wanna borrow

[maiden hound]

probably woulnd't use teq

[topaz tapir]

recommend me someone maybe

[foggy grove]

e2 teq could handle mummy
iuno about e1

[lime lantern]

if you insist, youll have to get some more ranged dps for right side

[maiden hound]

blaze can handle mummy too no?

[foggy grove]

just put blez then

[topaz tapir]

what if I just put ExuAlter at bot lane

[lime lantern]

you sure the rest of your units can handle the other lanes?

[topaz tapir]

No idea because I don't know much about the enemies

[topaz tapir]

yeah I used my E2 Ticket on Lappland-

[foggy grove]

do you have better unit than krooster?

more aoe would be welcome

[topaz tapir]

You tell me

[topaz tapir]

i havent invested in any other unit since ExuAlter ngl

[foggy grove]

you prolly should especially since you don't want to borrow

[maiden hound]

pinecone

[topaz tapir]

maybe I should E2 more units
not sure exactly who i should tho

[foggy grove]

well you can prolly clear this with what you have

lemme see

[topaz tapir]

do i show my krooster link or something what do u wanna see

[foggy grove]

lol blez dph sucks
What do you have

[hollow skiff]

Bro, you should have put Acidrop, Adnachiel and Jessica to E1, then Meteor to Level 45 but her skill three, she's a good anti defense

[topaz tapir]

Uhhhh

[maiden hound]

0/10 bait

[hollow skiff]

Nevermind, you got far better operators than the ones I currently use

You got any anti-defense ops? Like Meteor?

[maiden hound]

maybe lapluma can hold left and you can point thorns across the blue box to hold left also

[topaz tapir]

you can look and you can see her there
I took a pic of every 6/5/4 star unit I have

[topaz tapir]

what holds top and bottom

[maiden hound]

I'm thinkin exu2 bottom right facing up

[topaz tapir]

and maybe I should invest in Perfumer if Im using La Pluma so she has passive heal

[maiden hound]

maybe not

[topaz tapir]

I dont got any Bards

[maiden hound]

ideally i don't think she would be struggling much since she can hit the green tiles and heal herself

also y dun wan kroos to hit the golem coming bottom side

[topaz tapir]

whats a map layout website i can use on pc

[maiden hound]

pins have em

[topaz tapir]

fuck THEY DONT HAVE THE ANNI MAPS YET

[maiden hound]

that's a shame

wiki.gg also have the layout but no enemy pathing

[cedar needle]

https://map.ark-nights.com/map/camp_r_28 this?

[maiden hound]

hah. funny

[topaz tapir]

oh why wasnt this in pins

[maiden hound]

you gotta scroll all the way down. bit inconvenient

[topaz tapir]

how do i make it 2d its lagging

[pearl compass]

"Keep perspective" off.

[maiden hound]

yeah

[topaz tapir]

oh my website was in chinese i couldnt find it till i found the eng option

[austere skiff]

can anyone help me with 12-20

the dazimati cluster’s mechanics are fucking me up a lot

https://www.krooster.com/u/des

[noble pewter]

Middle left, thorns, lapp n blaze strong enuf, ptilopsis middle face down heals all, spot top right can hold carts, blue poison maybe hold top left, poison dot n range dmg can chip owls, exu alt hold bot right, kills guardians on skill fast

Cardigan/spot also good to hold top left or blue bx right side

[topaz tapir]

huh any reason why BP

[noble pewter]

Poison dot breaks tile fast

[topaz tapir]

also whats strong enuf

[noble pewter]

Double hit with s1 too

[pearl compass]

"Strong enough"

[noble pewter]

Won't die to carts, can block 3 no problem

[austere skiff]

is this grand bazaar

[pearl compass]

Yes

[topaz tapir]

yea

[austere skiff]

they could try bringing ethan s1 to deal with the tiles

[noble pewter]

Won't die as fast, n can skill to heal up

Ethan not raised but if raise n put top right with blue poison face right won't need worry green tiles so owls won't power up

[austere skiff]

i mean i dont think he needs to be raised just keep him away from the frontlines

[topaz tapir]

ive heard his base skill gets worse at E1 tho

[noble pewter]

Yes owl can hit him. But likely not kill anyways, some lvs is enuf, no need dmg

[pearl compass]

Ethan? Pretty sure it's about Jaye tho.

[topaz tapir]

ohh right mb

[topaz tapir]

wdym top left tho

[noble pewter]

Super top left is just some carts trying go thru the small corridor, just put defender to block them near the blue box top area right side a bit

Aoe healer can heal middle left n top left at same time

https://youtu.be/6cvmTyW7jGo?si=DU-v0NK-klNm6H8i sth like this setup, thorn lapp blaze can sub for the silverash gracebearer midnight

[austere skiff]

agh

i need help with

12-20

damatzi cluster’s mechanics are messing me up

how do i know if an operator has been replaced

[noble pewter]

Perfumer just replace with other healer u have built

[noble pewter]

What do u mean replaced?

[pearl compass]

Put ops in checkers position

Adjusted in diagonals.

[noble pewter]

It's the one most isolated

U can bait it if reach near threshold n u put bait somewhere I believe

[topaz tapir]

honestly idk what u mean rn this was my guess

[austere skiff]

ah alr

[noble pewter]

The yt vid I sent u the link, see the formation in the endgame setup

[austere skiff]

why exactly though, it because of the corrosion

[pearl compass]

Plus-cross attacks as well. Otherwise you just help him deal more damage and kill anyone.

[noble pewter]

U need ppl handle the top right green tile otherwise the parrot owl on wheels they long range laser atk hurt like hell

[austere skiff]

wait its a him?

[pearl compass]

It.

[noble pewter]

The force off field is instant retreat, checker formation is for minimise cross shape dmg

[pearl compass]

[austere skiff]

ah alr

[topaz tapir]

so Blaze mid while the two Lords do top and bottom?

[pearl compass]

Damazti should not have proper gender (slime).

[pearl compass]

As I said.

[austere skiff]

how do i deal with the

[noble pewter]

Yes, or if thorn doing really well maybe he at mid is better cause can hit 3 lane but blaze being mid is comfy cause lapp n thorn can help blaze if they done with their lane

[austere skiff]

danage during phase 2 animation

[noble pewter]

N being highest block 3 middle is more safe

[austere skiff]

damage*

[noble pewter]

Use thorn s3, lapp s2, blade s2 perhaps then is just afk n pray they clear, use ptilopsis heal for emergency heal

[topaz tapir]

what level and elite level do I need Ethan at

[pearl compass]

Before he lost 50% HP Phase 2, drop ANY worthless operator isolated from anyone else in 8 tiles around him.

[noble pewter]

Just enuf to not die to parrot owl on wheel top right

He is just there to apply dmg over time hit count to green tile

[sly drift]

Damazti takes "Genderfluid" waay to literal

[pearl compass]

So Damazti will take priority over him and make clone outta him.

[noble pewter]

If he high lv he might able chip down owl parrot hp, but he not able kill

[austere skiff]

gravel would work as a sacrifice right

[topaz tapir]

so uhhhh
E1Lv50-60?

[pearl compass]

Perfect sacrifice.

[noble pewter]

Ya that works

[pearl compass]

You can use robots, even, if you desperate on Deploy Limit.

[austere skiff]

“Oh boy doctor’s sent me out for another mission, i wonder what i’ll do this time”

the 500 spinning sawblades of malice and despair heading towards gravel at mach 16

[austere skiff]

so after it goes into phase 2

place down gravel isolated

[pearl compass]

Just rush him to kill.

That's all.

[austere skiff]

alr

while there’s another clone of em alive the original one is invulnerable right

alive and under cover*

[pearl compass]

After this shit, only thing remains is his death on 0% HP.

[light dawn]

Is there a pre-existing strategy for the annihilation County Hillock Countryside that isn’t in video form? Can’t watch videos right now but i’d like to see if i can adapt a strategy to my roster

[austere skiff]

[pearl compass]

Until you reveal all his copies, he's Invincible, yes.

All copies are.

[austere skiff]

could gravel work for uncovering his copies

[noble pewter]

What even ur roster

[pearl compass]

Also takes reduced damage permanently.

More effective is to attack his copies simultaneously, so he takes about the same damage as you would hit him alone.

[pearl compass]

Yes. Everything works.

Even just your range.

Blocking ofc makes it faster.

[austere skiff]

i dont wanna face anyone towards left side

cause the roadblock things will break

and i’ll have to waste deployment slots on defending it

[pearl compass]

You play Standard or Adverse?

[austere skiff]

standard

[pearl compass]

Ok, so you need to be fast

Last copy on 50% HP Phase 2 will come directly from left breaking Blockages.

[austere skiff]

[pearl compass]

Regardless are they staying or not.

[austere skiff]

hold on so

below 50% hp on phase 2

[austere skiff]

a clone comes and breaks a roadblock

right

[pearl compass]

Yes

Only this one

[austere skiff]

both or one

[noble pewter]

Can't u just throw random n win

[pearl compass]

On Adverse, many enemies wanted to make a shortcut from this side.

[light dawn]

Idk. I just got back to the game after years

[austere skiff]

ah alr

[noble pewter]

1 thorn already do lot of work, n with module is even stronger

[light dawn]

Yeah but my friend said i apparently got the wrong module

And overall the masses of modules i need to unlock with limited resources is a bit much

[noble pewter]

Nah it be fine with any module, maybe slower charge up for s3 only if module make kill to fast

[austere skiff]

ok yeah the checker formation worked

thanks

[light dawn]

I see

[shadow pendant]

hi may i ask which hoederer skill is the best for him?

like it will provide the most value

[pearl compass]

🥹

Can we say he's trash?

[shadow pendant]

yes

just be honest

[pearl compass]

He's trash.

[shadow pendant]

im using him because i dont have any good guard operators rn

im planning to pull for leizhi to replace him

[pearl compass]

But if you must use him:
S1 for IS5 when Kings
S2 for Stunlock niche
S3 for DPS (weak)

[shadow pendant]

ah

[pearl compass]

Probably you will use S3

[shadow pendant]

i see i see

i dont like it deducts my hp consistently

😔😔

i need help with my roster too

[pearl compass]

Medics exists

[shadow pendant]

i joined back yesterday after like 5 years

[shadow pendant]

my medics are bad except for gavial

[pearl compass]

Unfortunate

[pearl compass]

#help or maybe you may show it to me

[shadow pendant]

okay

ill post it there

[sly drift]

This account is so cursed I love it

[pearl compass]

I just noticed Whislash, Chen and Seige leveled.

Even Ceylon and Pallas E2d, neat

And Blemishine

I feeling I need to beat someone with my bear hands.

[sly drift]

Anti-Meta players are based

[noble pewter]

Bro is doing kazimier n abyss hunter no?

[pearl compass]

It seems to me he does oopsies-doopsies all over again.

I give E2 to whoever I like or feel to.

[sly drift]

Skalter max pot is mega based

[void terrace]

My pennance max pot has been through some wild shit to make her a boss killer....

[pearl compass]

[void terrace]

Shes tanked/killed every single main story boss with buffers and her as the main dps except for PRTS

Caus she was killing the prts doggo

[light dawn]

Kind of?

I had all the Hunters and i just like a lot of the Kazimierz characters but i don’t have all

[light dawn]

???

[light dawn]

What’s wrong with those? Chen and Siege were insane back in the day

[pearl compass]

Did they?

[light dawn]

Yeah

Siege or Siverash were usually who you rerolled for

Then Chen came out and was the peak nuker

[pearl compass]

Reroll for Siege... man

Ok, fine.
Comment Ceylon, Blemi and Whiplash then.

[light dawn]

Whislash is my homescreen character, that one i just like

Blemi was my Saria before i got Saria

[pearl compass]

🥹

Gummy

Bruh

[light dawn]

And frankly i don’t see the problem in Ceylon

Range has always been really good

[pearl compass]

K, how about heal output?

[light dawn]

Never struggled with that

[pearl compass]

Damn

Gigachad

Ril

[sly drift]

There's nothing wrong with your believe. People standard of "Good operator" is too high lately.

[pearl compass]

[light dawn]

[light dawn]

Don’t look at that

[lament river]

How to lvl up quickly

[narrow pendant]

You dont
You just play

[pearl compass]

IS

There's plenty of EXP and LMD in battlepass

Plus Monthlies has chips and mats for E2.

[raw mist]

I think he meant account level

[pearl compass]

[sly drift]

Operators regarded as "Yan" on IS#6

[noble pewter]

is there like buff for them or sth?

[glass monolith]

Good, I have like 5 built of those, and 2 of them is Sora and Blaze2

[frank quail]

Anybody know a video that shows me how to get passed 8-9

[pearl compass]

Wait, I forgot Penguin is also in Lungmen!

LESGOOOOOOOOOO

[pearl compass]

We don't have 8-9

You mean R8-9?

[frank quail]

Yes

Wait no

2-8

Mbmb

[pearl compass]

🥹

[frank quail]

?

[pearl compass]

https://youtu.be/1D_cx7W4JbQ

[frank quail]

Thanks I could not find one

[pearl compass]

Always check KyostinV for those.

No fucking way there's no lowend guides prior to Ep14.

[frank quail]

Nha my feed just never wants to show me cause I was searching and I couldn't find crap

[glass monolith]

YouTube search is trash but "Arknights 2-8" search literally finds only 2 Kyostin videos

[narrow pendant]

Why are we giving them ancient kyos one?

Just send hin arf's one

He has for every chapter

[glass monolith]

Well boost Arf so his 2-8 is top of YouTube search. Did he even do chapter guides?

[narrow pendant]

Ye

Hes done with ch0-ch14

Maybe even 15, didnt check for a while

[narrow pendant]

In is6 version of bosky theres a path that u can go only with certain amount of yan ops

Like is3 low light requirement

[pearl compass]

Cause I know Kyo better than Arf.

Popularity.

[narrow pendant]

[glass monolith]

Using CN account with modules not on global for H stages

[pearl compass]

Damn poor child on that emoji

[pearl compass]

Wait, what guide is this?

If AFK Annis, that's OK, they're CN only on that moment.

[glass monolith]

His H10-3 had moduled NTK before their module, don't really change shit much but lol lmao

[pearl compass]

Wait fr

[frank quail]

Nope

[glass monolith]

What it shows you then

[wheat spear]

None shall pass

[weak gazelle]

yeap
modern ops just stomp this map without even trying :icant:

[shrewd fractal]

guys does anyone have a maxed mod zima i can borrow

for 7-9

[wheat spear]

Max mod Zima is needed specifically?

[shrewd fractal]

idk if i need need it

but i want the dp reduction for all pioneers just to be safe

you have her??

[pearl compass]

Mountain S2

That's all you need

[shrewd fractal]

hmmm

actually wait maybe that'll work

[pearl compass]

It WILL WORK.

[shrewd fractal]

every time i see a stage with dog spam i use zima lol, never thought about using anything else

now i have to find someone who actually has a built mountain

[wheat spear]

Definitely more plenty than built Zima havers

[shrewd fractal]

aight found one

let's see how this goes

[foggy grove]

you have thorns just open with him

[shrewd fractal]

but he costs 20

holy shit i did it

lol 7-9 ez clap with e2 lv90 mountain

[pearl compass]

Told ya

[shrewd fractal]

i wish i had mountain smh

[elder flume]

Zima S1L7 to S1M3 is a 9 sp difference for first skill hm

actually prob not worth it since S2 is roughly the same

[wanton torrent]

Hello guys, can i get some tips for swap/lv up operator that can be usefull on long run? ( i ve been stuck at 2-12 suf 3)

[round junco]

replace meteor with kroos the keen glint from invitation to wine, and replace dobermann with a better guard, send your guard list

[wanton torrent]

i already used kroos on the bottom right

[void terrace]

Kroos the keen glint is a free 5 star alter

She is also one of the best 5 stars in the game for her mini stuns and crits

[wanton torrent]

uh that s new

where to get that??

[void terrace]

Invitation to wine side story

[wicked minnow]

"heavyrain is one of the best 5 stars in the game at giving camo to allies" ahh take

[void terrace]

Also you can unlock gladiia in under tides side story

[void terrace]

Eeh i mean back in is3 she was a really decent pick

Before the wave of busted power spikes she was always good for a 5 star

[wicked minnow]

the point is the statment you said doesnt asd any value to what is being talked about

[void terrace]

Not my first pick but after the staples of warf, ptilo, shamare, red etc

Read carefully

[wicked minnow]

you are just desribing what she does

[void terrace]

This is a new player

[glass monolith]

Can confirm, gave my ally camo and H8-4 civils dies to fireballs

[void terrace]

Context is key

[wicked minnow]

what value do crits and micro stuna give a new player

[void terrace]

The value is in teaching them rather than trying to argue with an old player

[wanton torrent]

wait im trying to find that

where s it?

[wicked minnow]

what did you teach them

[glass monolith]

One likely need 2 marksmen snipers because copium amount of drones and she works in IS3 so spread the kokodayos

[void terrace]

Unfortunately for you i do so happen to have every last operator in the game

[wicked minnow]

ok?

[void terrace]

Read your own statements. Her kit duh

Inference is apparently not your strength....

[wicked minnow]

i can describe dogshit character's kits and make them seem broken

that doesnt give the guy a reason to get them

[glass monolith]

I don't know how to navigate new UI for events CNY events, Yan or whatever

[errant plinth]

Can anyone help with my build!? I'm a new player.

[wicked minnow]

describing krooster as being one of the best micro stuns and crits for a 5* seems a bit redundant in that she's the only one that does those 2 specific things at the same time

[void terrace]

Movements

[wanton torrent]

wow thankyou @void terrace

[void terrace]

Shes not the best 5 star but she is an accessible upgrade over what you have

Focus on raising wis first

[wanton torrent]

i just knew that arknights have another to play besides story

[void terrace]

Caus she can just no brain most content

[wanton torrent]

For level up i go all out on wisadel?

[void terrace]

She is mostly your best bet. The other thing you can do before that is e2 any 4 star

So you can borrow e2 suppory units

Wis is good to raise after that

[foggy grove]

why would they bother with e2 4*

newb has free e2 ticket for 5*

[wanton torrent]

iyes thats true, i got two

what should i pick from that

[foggy grove]

can check pin on #help

[sly drift]

Do you guys think bringing both Mlynar and Leizi is a good idea

In like.. all stage

[void terrace]

Oh damn im really getting old

Thanks for the save

Thats really a thing now??

[dapper hedge]

I dont see why not if you know what you gonna use them for

[void terrace]

Yeah then just bumrush wis lmao

[pearl compass]

Wisadel.

[wanton torrent]

from the 5 star chooser, what should i pick? for the long run

[pearl compass]

Like no shit you ain't doing E2-60 on her at least.

[pearl compass]

Long run probably KroosAlter.

If you need someone who can stun flying, she's one of them doing this job well.

[wanton torrent]

jay said that i can get her from side story?

[pearl compass]

Invitation to Wine, yes

"Su" tag

[spice mortar]

What better than 1 mlynar, 2 mlynar

[nocturne cove]

2 wisadel

[glass monolith]

Kroos alter and 11 buffers

[signal vector]

Use mylnar first. Then use leizi during mylnar's downtime

[latent halo]

sakiko and her bands

[pine stirrup]

PR-A-1 how

team

[pearl compass]

Should be more than enough.

Print DP, put medics, switch Fange to Lappy and SilverAss

Win

[lofty stag]

Lappy uses s2 btw

[pine stirrup]

wdym by switch fang to lappy*

[lofty stag]

Also Doberman sucks

[pine stirrup]

i dont have enough block

[pine stirrup]

[lofty stag]

Also ambriel ain’t doing shit rn

[pine stirrup]

True

[lofty stag]

Amiya sucks

[pine stirrup]

i dont have range

options : jessica (base) / kroos (base)

[lofty stag]

Also melantha shouldn’t have been the first 3 star to build

Kroos1 is much better

You should also get tequila and kroosalter

From dossoles holiday and invitation to wine respectively

DH is in the “summertime beats” section and IW is in “through the ages”

[pine stirrup]

Kroos1?

[lofty stag]

Base kroos

Kroos1

Kroos

[pine stirrup]

oak building kroos1

[lofty stag]

Also did you use your insta-e2 ticket yet?

[pine stirrup]

no

saving for tequila

[lofty stag]

Good

[pine stirrup]

kroosalter where again and when should I try to get it (how long it takes?)

[lofty stag]

Invitation to wine

“Through the ages” section of score

It should take the same amount of time as tequila

[latent halo]

Why for teq ?

I thought ppl reroll for a 6s start

And current 6s has the same role as teq

[wicked minnow]

imagine tequilla but like way better

who wouldnt want a way better tequilla

[latent halo]

Exactly, so why use the insta e2 on teq

[wicked minnow]

oh you meant like that?

a couple reasons

he has the highest damage of the options available at the start

[latent halo]

You have leizi

[wicked minnow]

he's a welfare so he's available to everyone no matter what

and most importantly is that he's good in base 👍

but that base part is in the future

[latent halo]

Useless alone , need shamare

[wicked minnow]

yes but spectre and lappland arent good in base

if you have la pluma or gracebearer i'd recommend them over tequilla

[latent halo]

Amiya

[wicked minnow]

help out way more during early stages

why amiya?

[latent halo]

You have to raise her eventually

[wicked minnow]

you dont

[latent halo]

You do

[wicked minnow]

you can skip those stages

no one is forcing you to raise her

[latent halo]

And leave the prime alone ?

[wicked minnow]

a new player has an absolutely insane amount of prime available

you can just get it later

[latent halo]

I'm just saying , if you have leizi

No need to e2 teq

With ticket

You can save it later

[wicked minnow]

if you have proviso i would be inclined to agree with you

but there arent many options for e2 5*

there's like 3 that are good for base. everyone else is niche

[latent halo]

No need to rush e2 , also iirc you get 3 free 5s selector

There must be something useful there

Beside teq

[wicked minnow]

not really

[latent halo]

"not really"

[wicked minnow]

lappland and specter 👍

not particularly more useful than tequilla

and tequilla is 1 of the 3 5*s recommended for base

[latent halo]

Do I have to repeat

Teq is useless alone

[wheat arch]

well if they are getting 3 5s selector surely that means they can pick shamare now right

[wicked minnow]

yep im aware

[wheat arch]

you eventually need them for endgame base meta so i dont feel like its wrong to recommend tequila

[wicked minnow]

im trying to decipher whether or not that's an ironic comment cube

do you mean anni selector?

im not sure what the anni selector has

[wheat arch]

i think tequila being similar to leizi is a valid point

but at the same time i still think amiya can wait

[wicked minnow]

im just asking what would be a better option

guy didnt present a better option

[wicked minnow]

that wasnt given out to newbies btw

[wheat arch]

is that the anni one

[wicked minnow]

it was added during ulpianus event

but new players didnt get it after the event ended

[latent halo]

I'm not sure which one was given

I have 3 5s selector in my bag

[wicked minnow]

ye that's the one new players got

they have another one with silence liskarm project red and pramanix

[latent halo]

I did , I said no need to decide this early

I said save it

Is this not a good option

[wicked minnow]

anni selector if that has proviso sure ig go for it

[wheat arch]

i think the one CN got during exia alter goes up to Ascalon banner

for 5*

[hollow skiff]

Ummm, guys, can you help on my Squad build? On what classes I should put? I can't take pic of my current squad, but, can you guys help?

[devout rapids]

I just got Module mlynar recently and it says 100% charge but I still see him atk going idk what he’s charging

[latent halo]

Sure

Mostly depends on stage

[hollow skiff]

Ok, but what about Annihilation?

[latent halo]

Vanguard + 1 or 2 afk skill

Add some defender medic

[hollow skiff]

Oh, so, is Texas E2 and Plume E1 good?

[latent halo]

Og Texas ?

[hollow skiff]

Yep

[latent halo]

Yea

[hollow skiff]

Then Flint and Blaze?

[latent halo]

S1 and drop her somewhere safe

Blaze

Do you have the ss of you squad and stage you need help on ?

[hollow skiff]

I'm currently in Chernobog Annihilation

Didn't finish Ep2 Lvl 8

[latent halo]

E2 texas

Is that from insta 5 star promote ticket

[signal vector]

I hope not lol

[latent halo]

2-8 is tricky, better drop 2 defender Infront of blue door

[hollow skiff]

And my squad is
-Texas (E2 from ticket)
-Plume (E1)
-Flint (Lvl 50)
-Blaze (Lvl 30)
-Adnachiel (E1, Lvl 30)
-Catapult (Max Pot.)
-Saria (2 Pot)
-Nearl
-Whisperain
-Gavial
-Amiya (Lvl 42)
-(forgot name of purple haired girl who's a caster and deals aoe, max potential)

[latent halo]

[hollow skiff]

???

[signal vector]

Bruh, my hope got squashed...

[hollow skiff]

Why?

[signal vector]

You made the "not optimal" choice of using that precious thing on texas

[latent halo]

It's fine , mostly ppl here will suggest you to use it on dps instead

[hollow skiff]

Ow, why? She's pretty good in multiple AoE control

Oh, I don't hsve 5 star DPS, only Adnachiel, Meteor and Melantha

[latent halo]

I'd say use it on operator catch your eye most

[hollow skiff]

[latent halo]

[hollow skiff]

Texas did catch my eyes

[latent halo]

Good taste

[hollow skiff]

I knew I should've waited, is it ok if I send my video in Chernobog Annihilation later? Like how I play?

[latent halo]

But again you will have hard time without a proper dps

[signal vector]

Well, yes, but you'll want to prioritize DPSes first
You win by killing stuff, and DPSes help you do that

[hollow skiff]

Yeah, Meteor and Adnachiel are my best Snipers

[signal vector]

The fact that you dont have 5* DPS is kinda weird, considering both tequila and kroos the keen glint is free

And in a pool of freeperators they're the best ones and are actually worth your time

[hollow skiff]

Kroos sucks, her damage is actually low when sided with Adnachiel and Catapult

[signal vector]

That's a wild statement XD

[latent halo]

Drop Texas on top left blue door , then blaze + kroos + AOE dmg on bottom blue door

[teal moon]

wtf am I reading

[hollow skiff]

Wait, gotta goo

[latent halo]

She is a good dps unfortunately

[signal vector]

Dont worry, probably just the wind 🥀

[teal moon]

can we report this clear person trolling in a help channel?

[signal vector]

Might have scratched your eyes and u start seeing illusions

[latent halo]

Is fine to use them in early game , lots of stages requires 3-4 anti air

[teal moon]

this is clearly a troll, did he pick Saria pot in the 5th day selector?

[signal vector]

Just kroos + kroos2 it

Oh wait now I notice saria pot 2

Wtf

[teal moon]

flint, e2 texas, max pot catapult

[latent halo]

I don't judge ppl playstyle

[signal vector]

He has to be listening to #arknights man aint no way #help is this washed

[latent halo]

You help what they asked

They need help on stage , no their choices lol

[teal moon]

neither do I. It's this where I'm getting suspicious #strategy message

[latent halo]

[signal vector]

Well ye we dont judge but in #help we tell people what's the best option for them, it's a meta channel

[unkempt lintel]

did i missed something big???

[teal moon]

if you aren't a troll, I recommend you to like change half your team. Send roster in #help and we'll help you, currently there are many problems with that team

[signal vector]

No, go back to #help

[latent halo]

[teal moon]

first thing i've read opening the channel is

Adnachiel and Catapult have better dmg than Kroos

[latent halo]

This is me when I was new

[signal vector]

Ngl that's a wiiiild statement

[latent halo]

Also Jessica

[signal vector]

He probably put a lv1 kroos against a max out adnachiel or catapult and then said that cause aint no fckin way that's true

[teal moon]

the problem is that I think he's considering the 5* version lol

[latent halo]

Also aware of top lane , you don't leave Texas alone , drop 1 defender + dps after you setup bottom lane

Top will spawn some big guy

[teal moon]

is this for 2-8?

[latent halo]

Annih 1

[signal vector]

No he doesnt know about the existence of kroos2 I think

If he does he would have got her already

[unkempt lintel]

must be a new player so big range and a sniper that have skill seems stronger than a woman who is half asleep and shout kokodayo every now and then

hopefully he is

[teal moon]

well, pls make him notice that half of the ops he own are almost trash

there is no need to force a new player to use Filnt, Plume and everything else

unless he state himself that he likes them for whatever reason

[signal vector]

Oh c'mon saria's fine, he kinda bricked himself a bit by getting saria pot 2 but it's not the end of the world

[teal moon]

Saria is fine, I didn't mention her

[signal vector]

I'd suggest him to just reroll for my wife leizi2

[latent halo]

Please , we are playing games , not reforming an army group

[teal moon]

I'd unironically consider to start again because I think he missed Silverash and used the e2 ticket on texas lol

[latent halo]

Don't make everyone do the same if they dint ask for

[signal vector]

Now that you said that, he probably picked tex from the 5* selector lmao

[teal moon]

am I forcing him? I just said what I'd do

and he was the one who asked for tips for a teambuilding

[signal vector]

When she's actually free via pinboard

[latent halo]

True

[teal moon]

why should I say to him "don't worry, just use this shit units that are straight worse than other 3*"

and he just started playing, he won't lose much by swapping a lv20 Flint or sth like that

like, Tequila and Kroos alter are free, why shouldn't I recommend getting them

[latent halo]

Kroos is actually hard to get

Ngl

[signal vector]

Yea they're free, and much better than the 5* or 6* freebees that the game gives you

[teal moon]

he has an e2 borrow, pretty sure it's not that hard doing the first 4 stages of IW

literally borrow a tragodia lol

[latent halo]

[teal moon]

or any reaper and it's even mroe drain dead

[latent halo]

Oh yea , they mentioned aoe control

Tragodia

[light falcon]

@hasty wharf

So I lacked Vulpisfoglia and I substituted Leizi for another healer

This almost feels comfortable but Thorns seems to die too fast

Just a progress report i'll get back to you when something worked

[foggy grove]

don't break the crate on lapp lane

[light falcon]

Hmm alright

[foggy grove]

so they'll funnel to specter instead

[daring idol]

How bad/meh/good/very good this little gremlin is ?

[elder flume]

that depends on how you play around shifters

[hasty wharf]

Wow, you really went to the stage, i am just surprised by your aspiration to help.
I ended up with smth like this, it does survives until fourth boss arrives and then it's just too much damage, i think with better positioning and timing i can pull this off

And Shu support

[light falcon]

I dont like giving out empty advice if I can help/afford it

And this looks like a good challenge

[maiden hound]

bum

[daring idol]

Bum ?

[maiden hound]

bum yeah

[daring idol]

Why bum ?

Bum like Homeless ?

[maiden hound]

yeah

[daring idol]

Why ?? XD

[maiden hound]

the main thing she does is pull, which rope can do just fine

[signal vector]

borrow this lady

[elder flume]

easiest is just Lapp or Jaye and spawncamp it

[pearl compass]

The module means that instead of waiting 40 seconds before he got +200% ATK multiply, you need to wait 20. Exactly when the skill is ready to activate after deployment.

[pearl compass]

Not needed. E0-1 is enough for her.

[devout rapids]

That’s very detailed thank u

[daring idol]

The 1* robot ???

[pearl compass]

The... base slave.

And trust sponge.

[daring idol]

Idk what are you talking about I'm new but i see a Utage emote so you might be based

[pearl compass]

[daring idol]

[maiden hound]

🟪

[pearl compass]

Tl;dr:
Just ignore her existence.

Basically.

[daring idol]

Whyyy

I like her
Huge boobs
She's not too bad as i see ingame

[pearl compass]

🥹

K

But honestly, it's just a waste

[somber falcon]

just raise if you want
why do you need internet validation for that

[pearl compass]

Her main role is pulling and Rope is enough mostly everywhere + cheap.

[daring idol]

Crying in Russian

[somber falcon]

also you two are speaking diff ops now

[willow lodge]

I tried doing DH-5 according to a tutorial like 5 times already and I always keep missing by one, it so sad

nvm finally got it

[light falcon]

@hasty wharf

I got it

the line up that worked for me looked like this

Shu really was the key

I'll give you the full detail after you wake up

first move deploy myrtle to hit the right box, then exusiai and civilight

exu can hold the lane for a while, focus on getting thorns then wisadel out

[lime lantern]

ok after rewatching this like 4 times isnt the "4th" tick larger than the others

which leads me to believe that's another S3 main hit and not a current

[scarlet fulcrum]

Is6 finally, hope no heavy laggy stage there

[lime lantern]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Or finally time to buy the new one

[lime lantern]

supposedly, damage triggers every 19 frames which is slightly longer than 0.6s so it would be 5 but

[wicked minnow]

idk about the first attack but the the big hit that causes a bit of the hp bar to go white is the physical damage part and following this hit after a few frames is the 1st tick that also causes a tiny bit of the hp to go white. after that you get 4 more ticks

[lime lantern]

0:26 tick
0:30 tick
0:33 tick
0:34 big white hit( ? ? )

[wicked minnow]

yes that's the first attack im talking about

i dont get why it's only 3 ticks

it's the only attack that's like that

[lime lantern]

Oh

ok that's weird as hell

[wicked minnow]

every other attack works fine

[lime lantern]

so first attack is 4 ticks in total

[wicked minnow]

yeah

every other attack is clearly 5 ticks on the boss

[lime lantern]

actually yeah ur right

wtf

[wicked minnow]

i genuinely dont know why

[glass monolith]

Which stuff you tick-ling right now?

[wicked minnow]

[wicked minnow]

#strategy message

how many ticks of damage is leizi s3 sparks

this is what i devised to test

[lime lantern]

any chance this is a stainless thingy

like somehow

i do be reaching

[wicked minnow]

that would be very interesting

ill attempt something rq ig

i already tried having the turret fire at another turret and i think the same behavior happened

ill try just having the turret sit at max maybe

[lime lantern]

what if no turret

wait no then its just giga cooked to test

[wicked minnow]

yep

[narrow pendant]

Just go watch dragon's vid

He made leizialt spotlight today

[lime lantern]

i did

and he said 5

so thats why im askin ghim

[wicked minnow]

🥹

ok you asked him on his server now we wait

i did the video with the different conditions for stainless turret

it didnt make a difference

[lime lantern]

walahi

[wicked minnow]

@lime lantern

[lime lantern]

🥹

[wicked minnow]

you can clearly see that there is in fact 1 tick on the turret

and the boss does get the 5 ticks

first attack is just fucked

idk

in my heart it has 6 ticks

[sly drift]

S3 actually much better than I originally thought

It just that... Terrain based damage

[narrow pendant]

[wicked minnow]

ok i just got an idea

time to test it on waregeists

i am not gonna regret this idea :clueless:

[wicked minnow]

a quick test on wargeists implies 5 ticks

IW-ex-5. 2 hits from leizi + 2 lightning + 5 hits from elysium to take down a 35 hit waregeist

(5*2 + 2 + 1) * 2 sparks + 2 leizi physical + 2 lightning bolts + 5 hits from elysium = 35

ok im gonna go do something more useful with my time now

[south spindle]

ok DragonGJY's video doesn't show the actual damage loss on S2 tiles

wanted to see if he got similar graph as me but he simply didn't bother

[pearl compass]

[lime lantern]

guess that settles it

[teal moon]

confirmed 5 ticks?

finally we can forget about this skill

[lime lantern]

🔥

[glass monolith]

Until quantum engine update for 9000 ticks per second

[void terrace]

Damn should i just raise leizi s3

I alr raised her s1 and s2 but they arnt doing too much for my team

Was planning on now raising s3 and using her with monst3r

[elder flume]

up to you if you need the boost

as long as you have the mats and strat in mind to justify

[teal moon]

seems like a skill issue

[sly drift]

What

Anyway what's good opening for IS6 that isn't Wisadel

[pearl compass]

ExuAlt is better.

Also I didn't know that Devoir Dragons has Hoverboard ability when ate someone.

Looks like they nerfed Rosmontis pillar spam.

[sly drift]

Oh.. Maybe I will ban Exu too then

But man.. Exu indeed is soo good on IS because S2.

Probably will start using her in Diff 12 or something

[daring idol]

Who i take ?

[sly drift]

Ptilopsis, most likely.
But in rare case Spectre

Ptilopsis is practically six star

[foggy grove]

🧑‍⚖️

[pearl compass]

Ptilo or Specter.

Assuming you have some AOE Guards, like Mountain, you take Ptilo 100%.

[daring idol]

No i dont have Mount

I have pretty much nothing as AOE i think

[foggy grove]

take ptilo if you don't have good healer

[daring idol]

@pearl compass

[pearl compass]

?

Broca is bad.
Same for Gavial, Wuldenite and Pramanix.

[daring idol]

[pearl compass]

I remember already talking you about Almond.

[daring idol]

But they're really pretty and I'm a noobie without anything else

[pearl compass]

🥹

Use ThreeStar then.

Cause they're fucking cheap.

[spice mortar]

How to spot a newbie by their reaction to 3 star units

[wicked minnow]

you can also spot a newbie by how much they use 3 star units

[daring idol]

Yes
A lizard man, a catgirl looking like she's from a 2000's harem anime with lolis, and some other shii

[glass monolith]

Just ask them to 1 star unit and have them complain that they can't do it because missing pot

[wicked minnow]

[spice mortar]

Its that one meme, low iq people use 3 stars, mid iq people dont use 3 stars, high iq use 3 stars

Im mid 😔

[daring idol]

[wicked minnow]

ok so basically

[pearl compass]

High IQ uses boxes to win.

[wicked minnow]

you are the guy in the mid thinking of the meme

[daring idol]

What about cash whales with a full 6* alter team ?

[spice mortar]

Mid

True high iq genius use lowop 3 star

Or that 1tile niche

[pearl compass]

Are you that person? Cause from what you builded the squad I'm afraid you're not one of them.

[glass monolith]

Just f2pbtw alter only team

[spice mortar]

My team is f2p except for my pot5 mudrock, can i still f2pbtw

[wicked minnow]

i think my team is extremely f2p

im just that good

[lime lantern]

any team that was made by a f2p is a f2p team by definition smh

[wicked minnow]

mine is extra tho

just built diff

yk

[lime lantern]

Right

[spice mortar]

Just offrate all limiteds as f2p for extra f2p status

You can then get maybe a reaction emoji in salt mines

Sweet sweet social validation

[glass monolith]

I don't have Shu, Yu, Lapp2, Exu2, Mumu, hold my f2p off rate Rosmontis lmao

[spice mortar]

I got texalt and mumu offrate but i spent like €100 on rosmontis 😭

[glass monolith]

Please tell me is6 is Rosmontis/Archetto friendly

[spice mortar]

Apparently it nerfs ros device spam

[glass monolith]

Fuuuuuuck

[wicked minnow]

how ?

[spice mortar]

Im basing it on this comment

[glass monolith]

I assume no more 1s redeploy April spam

[wicked minnow]

bruh

[spice mortar]

Go my source @pearl compass

Explain yourself

[glass monolith]

Well that's hopeless

[pearl compass]

Devoir Dragons flies when eats someone

[wicked minnow]

there's like 3 stages where those exist

[pearl compass]

Fr?

[wicked minnow]

ye

they are only a threat in like 1 of them lmao

[pearl compass]

K, will spam Rosm then.

[spice mortar]

Ros will still be pretty strong then

[wicked minnow]

idk if rosmo is strong in is6

[pearl compass]

Until Sui Paw

[wicked minnow]

she's probably fine

just better units exist

[spice mortar]

Nuh uh, not against my sunk cost fallacy

[daring idol]

• in Europe we really get fucked about the orignites prices

In dollars it's 99$, in € 109, so 120$
That's fucking wild

[spice mortar]

Yes

[pearl compass]

Because

THIS BEACH

could potentially bonk Rosm.

Unless I buff her HP.

[daring idol]

How's Pramanix 6* ?

[spice mortar]

Good afk

Solid op

Check help pins

[daring idol]

Finally a op who let me sleep

[glass monolith]

Her soloing Outskirts annihilation was funniest shit ever

[spice mortar]

Afknights is an entire niche

[spice mortar]

Im so happy i get to use her in my feline team

[pearl compass]

If you want closest ops when you can sleep, then it's Haruka (S2) with HoshiAlter (S2 too).

[daring idol]

What's S2

[pearl compass]

Second Skill.

Middle.

[spice mortar]

Do they require button press

[daring idol]

Do they require brain

[daring idol]

Did you not said yesterday Hoshi is bad and don't do any damage ?

[pearl compass]

Haruka yes, it's like Thorns/Typhon - second activation is infinite duration.

Hoshi autoactivates it like Mudrock S2.

[spice mortar]

Haruka trash then

[foggy grove]

wow haruka sucks

smh

[pearl compass]

No, if you into AFK skills.

[pearl compass]

It's for Hoshi (Protector) or HoshiAlter (Arts Protector)?

[daring idol]

[pearl compass]

Probably normal one sucks. Alter doesn't.

[spice mortar]

Normal one good brick

[pearl compass]

Yeah, but Saria exists.

[daring idol]

Why Hoshi is really famous if she's that bad

[pearl compass]

And if you need second brick, you just gamba Shu.

[pearl compass]

She's famous?

[daring idol]

Hoshi is literally one of the 3 - 4 characters you already know even if you don't know Arknights

[daring idol]

Shu my wife

[pearl compass]

I'm here just because LappyTexas shipping.

[sly drift]

Hoshi famous?

[daring idol]

Ye
On internet

[pearl compass]

Then I learn about cockroach existence and sucked in this game even further.

[daring idol]

Dont let go of any hope aaaah ad

[sly drift]

Didn't know that... really

[daring idol]

Cock and sucked in the same sentence ? Damn that's zesty

[sly drift]

Hoshi is practically unheard on my communities

[daring idol]

I seen her for years before I played Arknights. With Ch'en, Texas and Provence, sometimes Grani

Anyway

So basically
In a strategically good team
You always have 2 - 3 fast deployable 3 stars ?

Or it's just for broke ass

[spice mortar]

Saria is not defensive brick

Not like hoshi that can tank big phys hits

[daring idol]

Cuora

[spice mortar]

Cuora is walmart hoshi yes

[pearl compass]

DR 15%, plus increasing DEF over time talent that fulfills the needs of tanking Phys.

[daring idol]

Dont talk that bad about our baseball champion

[pearl compass]

You need only Saria then.

[spice mortar]

Hoshi still a better phys brick

For the situations where you actually need a phys brick saria will fail

[pearl compass]

Are you going to waste another bunch of resources to SixStar that you will draft once per 100 maps?

Just because you need a brick

[spice mortar]

No lol, but saria does fail where hoshi succeeds, resource cost wont change that

[spring chasm]

@daring idol
@pearl compass
@spice mortar
Do not post unnecessary media.

[pearl compass]

Even THAT BIG BRICK.

[pearl compass]

Delete the GIFs then.

[sly drift]

~~Yes ~~

[spice mortar]

Imagine antagonizing a mod

[vital vessel]

don't have to imagine

[pearl compass]

Anyway, it still doesn't justify costs of building Normal Hoshi anyway.

Cause Saria could heal herself and it removes medic from the victory formula.

[sly drift]

The thing about modern Arknights... Is that now a lot of operator solve majority of stage problem ALONE. Which supposedly each operator takes their role on the squad. Effectively making something like Hoshi so low in value.

Modern Arknights is fucking wrecked tower defense.
