strategy

[sly drift]

I blame powercreep

[spice mortar]

Never said it was :p

But scenarious like that recent event with mechanist are examples where hoshi is simply better than saria

[pearl compass]

...

I used Yu.

Ok, you thought Hoshi > Saria in Mechanist stage, like VEC-12?

First phase maybe, Imma still debate about it tho.

Second phase does Arts.

And?

[spice mortar]

This is gonna come as a shock but i dont have hoshi, i just nuked with wis

I just know from reading chats that hoshi was able to block

[pearl compass]

[sly drift]

I use Hoshi on Vec 12 too

Hoshi and Crownslayer

Both goated on their job in my run

And Tbh I wouldn't say they are bad just because I usually pick someone else in my general run

Wouldn't talk about Material efficiency though.

[teal moon]

it's been like this for years. Probably since Ling release lol

[sly drift]

Yea.. Ling too.
But it's mostly because individual operator deal too much damage. No stage mechanic will affect you if you can just obliterate them through having insane damage.
.

On CC, enemies don't die to that. That's why your usual "Super meta general operators" fall off so hard, it just simply doesn't work. You gotta revert to traditional way to play. Adjusting so much to fit the stage. Each operator do one job.

[spice mortar]

This is why we nicheknights

[worn root]

Nicheknights ftw

[smoky halo]

u can play IS relicless ‼️ the enemies have a lot of hp where u feel like wisadel does no dmg

[light slate]

im struggeling with 6-11 bc the like "icecleavers" just insta kill me at the end could someone help?

[worn root]

Not exactly relicless, just no relics that buff operators

[pearl compass]

Don't let your units take Frozen effect, or those Katana Bois just oneshot everyone.

[light slate]

yea but how can i js not let them be frozen 😭 thats kinda the hard part 😞

[pearl compass]

Use Wisadel to beat it without thinking too hard here.

[somber falcon]

kill the spiders from afar or silence them

[light slate]

and if i dont have wisadel..

[light slate]

im not sure its the spiders? i think its the caster thingies that freeze me in 2 attacks

[pearl compass]

You always have Wisadel.

Because you have SupportUnit to bring friend Wisadel.

[somber falcon]

show your ops

[light slate]

i wanna be able to auto it :P

how do i link the krooster? do i js paste link and copy it here?

[somber falcon]

yeah

[light slate]

https://www.krooster.com/u/real-gray-sparrow-943a

[pearl compass]

Then just stall Katana far away from your main defense before killing everyone who cast Cold.

[light slate]

idk why thats my name ive never seen that in my life but ya :D

[pearl compass]

And only then let em go closer.

Or you can stall or kill Casters instead somewhere far from your defense.

[somber falcon]

I assume you can open the stage just fine?
or is that where you're having problem?

[light slate]

i open with gummy and thorns

[somber falcon]

wait mb, nvm that

[light slate]

js figured that out tdy but yea

[somber falcon]

brain fart

[smoky halo]

yeah thats what relicless means

or at least thats what is understood when someone says relicless

[worn root]

More so buff relicless

[smoky halo]

isnt this common definition?

that relicless mean no combat relics

[somber falcon]

wait what kind of opening are you doing with thorns and gummy?

[light slate]

... all my ops diee and since i dont have fast redp i just place gummy on one of the casters and thorns on the other one while spamming texas and fang..

[worn root]

Never rlly looked into relicless is runs

So idk

[smoky halo]

understandable then

but ye for relicless the common definition is just no combat relics

[somber falcon]

that's a super expensive start

[smoky halo]

sometimes shitter relics like +1% atk is allowed to make the grinding less tedious (u get spooked by wish fulfilled or some other node)

[light slate]

it works up until the cleaver thingies but as someone said i could stall them problem is i dont have anyhting to stall them with

[teal moon]

if during the run you chose for example a class/archetype relic for a class/archetype you won't use anyway, is it still valid?
like getting bloodbath but you won't draft any guard

[smoky halo]

yes

[pine stirrup]

how to deal with operators getting stunned

[foggy grove]

context?

therapist can shorten it but there is usually another way to handle it

[worn root]

Just don't get them stunned

[pine stirrup]

wrong channel sorry

[pearl compass]

You can get answer here too.

But you need to be more specific about your question.

Cause we can offer to BAIT the Stun instead.

[somber falcon]

whoop wrong img

first cleaver can be killed just with normal attacks, time degen and/or kjera's skill for the second one

[somber falcon]

I'm not waiting for a perfect pose to ss

[nocturne cove]

it was just funny

strinova

everything doesnt have to be serious

:)

[worn root]

Flat

[royal vale]

can i get help with lungmen downtown

im following the closest guide i can find and i still am losing bro

[austere skiff]

send your roster

[royal vale]

this is the team im running

oh roster ok

[austere skiff]

link your account to https://www.krooster.com

[royal vale]

why

?

[austere skiff]

its much more convenient than sending 500 screenshots

it automatically takes all your units and puts them in the website

[royal vale]

ok

[glass monolith]

Btw discord now compress images if you send them at once instead flashbanging everyone with wall of images as if you send them one by one

[royal vale]

ok i imported my data

now what do i do

[signal vector]

https://youtu.be/7Fc595ZKmmw?si=03TmDuDPeCfh7_Hw
try following this guide, borrow a thorns

[royal vale]

i cant auto deploy then

i want to auto deploy rather then doing it manually each time

[signal vector]

oh ur trying to auto deploy

hm what's the problem then? you get overwhelmed by the invis?

[austere skiff]

if you want to auto deploy you could try doing chernobog instead

its much easier

[royal vale]

ye i tried following the guide but its the usual shit of my units die but the guides units dont

etc

[royal vale]

im almost finished lungmen downtown and id rather just finish all of annihilation

so i can get the currency maxed

[austere skiff]

have you done grand bazaar

you have to 400/400 that for 1800 orundum cap

[royal vale]

no

so what do i do first

[glass monolith]

Hard to say outright what can go wrong - too big difference in levels, lack of stat boosting dupes (if we talk low rarity units, we just had boss like 2 months ago who would oneshot 3* cardigan without HP dupe), deployment order difference making ranged enemies trickshot your healers

[signal vector]

try to get the 1800 cap

[royal vale]

thats what im trying to do thats why im here asking how to beat the lungmen downtown

but nobody is actually giving me answers

[signal vector]

pay attention to like deployment order I'd say

[royal vale]

deployment order?

[signal vector]

dont deploy your medics or ranged as the last ones

[royal vale]

if i was dying early sure that could be the problem but im dying at like 350

i dont think deployment order is the issue there

[signal vector]

350?

DPS check maybe?

[pearl compass]

Heal check also.

[signal vector]

u failed to kill the defend crushers?

[glass monolith]

Welcome to my "start of AK PTSD" 350 and 375 of Downtown

[pearl compass]

[glass monolith]

also 7-9 but that's less important

[royal vale]

my blue poison died then my ptilopsis died

and then my shaw died and it just had a domino effect

[pearl compass]

Heal issue

Cannot tank crossbow

[royal vale]

i tried making my team like the guide but idk if i js try to use my own team

[glass monolith]

If Poison last deployed ranged drones will attack her, also drone in her lane might attack her first because she will get into range first

[royal vale]

like bro i thought ts was supposed to be easy why tf am i struggling on ts

[glass monolith]

Personally i take guides, see units i didn't level and duct tape my own units. Somehow got me few CC trims in past

[royal vale]

dawg where is the lvling issue

[glass monolith]

Downtown annihilation is like opposite of easy, based on your units harder than some of current annihilations

[royal vale]

like if u see one then please tell me

[glass monolith]

How the fuck Nearl + Ptilo fails healing check

unless Nearl is not on your weaker medic side then - Why not

[pearl compass]

Wait.

It's actually piss easy with this.

[royal vale]

i dont know what to do bro i js came back i got my base sorted out idk any strats

i mostly js place random stuff and hope it works

[glass monolith]

Well Surtr don't stab UP so drones is still issue on my list

[pearl compass]

You can literally make Dragons tank middle lane.

[royal vale]

they will die eventually

[pearl compass]

Even without Merge

[pearl compass]

Put another one, will ya?

[royal vale]

theres only 5

[pearl compass]

LING S3

[glass monolith]

Every skill gives another

[pearl compass]

DUDE

[royal vale]

wym

[pearl compass]

READ HER S3

Last sentence

Yellow text

[glass monolith]

Woman drinks so hard dragons multiply in front of her

[royal vale]

so what ur tryna say is

place fang for dp place ling place healers and let her solo it

[pearl compass]

You can spam dragons

[worn root]

Bro, you almost have a max pot ling

[pearl compass]

It doesn't fucking matter they die or not

You just replace accordingly

[royal vale]

so js place ling and spam dragons?

[pearl compass]

And use S3 just to make another one

[glass monolith]

Well it matters if they die when you have all enemies in there

[signal vector]

yea she gets new dragons after using s3

[pearl compass]

Some medics and AntiAir.

[royal vale]

so i put eyja and ptil on ling and idk who to use for air

[pearl compass]

Better switch Schwarz to any other Marksman like Exusiai.

[royal vale]

i have exu in my team already

[pearl compass]

Kroos or KroosAlter.

On Schwarz.

[royal vale]

i got both but kroos the only one lvled up

not kroos alter

[pearl compass]

Maybe even Shirayuki doesn't needed.

[royal vale]

ok i switched schwarz for kroos

[pearl compass]

And you can global range with GG, even.

[royal vale]

lets see how this goes

LOL ITS WORKING

JUST SPAM INFINITE DRAGONS LOOOL

oof the crossbows eat at the dragons tho

[austere skiff]

how did we not notice the ling

dude just spam thunderers

those things are better than a decent chunk of ops ingame

just make them perform fusion dances and boom you're set

[royal vale]

huhj

[austere skiff]

ok

place one dragon

then

[royal vale]

fusing?

but i cant fuse cuz the dragons gotta cover all lanes

[austere skiff]

use your other ops to cover other lanes

pluma and sash can work

sash on s2

[royal vale]

but then i cant place exusiai

[royal hamlet]

Deployment slot moment I presume

[royal vale]

ye theres a limit i cant place a lot

lings dragons already take up a ton

[austere skiff]

does this map have drones again i forgot

[royal vale]

yes

a lot

[royal hamlet]

It does

[austere skiff]

do higher thunderers take up 4 or 2 deployment slots

[royal vale]

2

went down from 6-5

[austere skiff]

alright so

hmm

[royal vale]

idk

[austere skiff]

could try higher thunderer and nearl in the middle

sash s2 up top

[royal vale]

k

[austere skiff]

la pluma on bottom

eyjalter healing middle

no need for ejya to face la pluma

she's a reaper

she cant be healed by medics

[royal vale]

ik

so like this?

ill put nearl in fangs position and put fang further back

[austere skiff]

if la pluma goes down then place surtr as a panic button

do you not have myrtle

[royal vale]

oh the crossbow is doing little to no dmg to the dragon

in its higher form

[austere skiff]

bring myrtle

[royal vale]

yes

so use myrtle instead of fang? k

[austere skiff]

bring myrtle

[tribal locust]

can someone tell me why sometimes the boss of 3rd floor paths to the red and sometimes to the yellow arrow? Is it one of those Emergency version boss stage?

[austere skiff]

fang takes an abysmallly long amount of time to generate dp

[royal vale]

k

so this is good?

well hes a higher dragon now but

[austere skiff]

yep, works

retreat myrtle once you've set up defences and have around 125ish dp in stock

[glass monolith]

Many IS stages has variations just to troll you. Based on Ark-nights both version of that boss roll 50% on which path they take

[royal vale]

alr

[tribal locust]

ahh

[austere skiff]

also pro tip if you leak an enemy dont leave the annihilation

force quit the game

you wont lose sanity

[royal vale]

ok

so i basically only use 1 dragon then

?

the higher dragon?

[austere skiff]

yes

[royal vale]

la plume might die

yup she died and an enemy slipped too

i quit ts is so annoying

[austere skiff]

if you want you can move nearl and myrtle a space back and face the thunderer down

[royal vale]

k

ill try that if it doesnt work i js quit

[austere skiff]

if la pluma dies quickly replace her with surtr

[royal vale]

k

if this dont work its js ggs bro

[tribal locust]

youre still weak, just push the stage as far as you can go and grab the milestone rewards

[royal vale]

how the fuck am i weak

most of the meta ops i got are e2

[tribal locust]

how cant you not clear then? Your car might be luxurious but if you dont know how to drive its pointless

[royal vale]

thats why im asking buddy

🤯

[austere skiff]

i had to do ts with my best ops being e1 lem and sash

[light falcon]

Surtr are not made for endurance map like this

[glass monolith]

Bro using burn damage while Eyja alter is facing the field

[royal vale]

not even using surtr

but k

[austere skiff]

surtr is the panic button

incase pluma dies somehow

[royal vale]

its js the hidden enemies doing dmg to her

and she doesnt attack till they in her face

[austere skiff]

the woes of a reaper guard

[light falcon]

La Pluma also cannot be healed so she'll probably die when the arrows come flying from everywhere

[glass monolith]

Ranged drones, was there casters, at some point stupid turret at bottom. Safest place at Terra

[royal vale]

ye that too

lots of ranged ppl shooting her

[tribal locust]

she'll die from the arts drone

[austere skiff]

lowk a regular thunderer might be better

[light falcon]

On top of that, ling's dragons are the same

Unhealable

[royal vale]

ye i can js replace em tho

[royal hamlet]

Do you by chance have passive healer instead a la Bards/ThornsAlt if you’re really that concerned for La Pluma?

[austere skiff]

can bards even heal her

also dont bards suck ass

[light falcon]

Civilight and Skalter works

[light falcon]

Dragon takes 2 deployment slots right?

[royal vale]

yeah i lost the drone slipped past

so ig i js cant beat this annihilation

if ling with almost max pot and s3m3 cant beat it we cooked

gg

[light falcon]

And I think Eyja S1, if you just cover the stuff in her range, would be a more potent solution than relying on her s3 's long duration and long cooldown...unless you already tried that?

[royal vale]

what else do i do cuz im js tired of that annihilation rn

[austere skiff]

theres the schizo option of ling s2

[royal hamlet]

Lungmen Downtown is annoying I’ll say that, I spammed Tacticians to body block turrets and had Stainless and Mumu doing the work on my behalf.

[royal vale]

bro honestly unless someone gets into a vc and tells me what to do im not doing it anymore

im js gnna get more irritated

[austere skiff]

just borrow a wisadel

[royal vale]

idk how to use her

[austere skiff]

in the end of the day its better to auto grand bazaar

[tribal locust]

if you cant clear it yet just hop unto another anni

[austere skiff]

you use s3

watch everything explode

repeat

[light falcon]

What about when drone comes around

Theres the possibility

[royal hamlet]

Her S3 target Aerials too

[austere skiff]

bring out the krooster

[light falcon]

That the mistime skill could leave a huge gap in defense

[royal vale]

does she cover the whole map or smth

?

[austere skiff]

not the whole map but like

a large radius

2.5 tiles in radius

[light falcon]

Fat ass range, but only hit ground when her skill 3 isn't on, when its on....its like 5k damage each sjot

[royal vale]

aw man not the best welcoming back to this annoying game b ut

[light falcon]

And every shot is like a fatman going off

[royal vale]

forgot how fucking annoying this game can be

[light falcon]

And

Her summons are extremely tanky AND replenishable

They can act as shields for your other units to hide behind basically

[royal vale]

ok

but i have to manually do like 2 20 minute stages

ion wanna do that

[light falcon]

Doesn't take up deployment slots and did I mention she goes fucking invisible when shes next to her summon

[spice mortar]

Local ak player dislikes playing ak

[royal vale]

it takes long and i gotta do it twice

and if i lose at the end i gotta restaarrttt alll ovverrrr again

[spice mortar]

You better never touch is

[tribal locust]

youre clearly punching way above your weight here. Just do the lesser stages and come back when youre stronger. This is like a souls guy getting mad that his lack of skill cant beat the boss

[royal vale]

already did

[light falcon]

Things are better when you take a break and come back

[royal vale]

it was way better in is3

then this bs

[light falcon]

Just a 10 minute break

Nay

A whole nap

[royal hamlet]

Is this a trend? Tbh the only maps I actively disliked was EP 12 with Dazmati Cluster

[royal vale]

except in a souls game i beat the boss

[tribal locust]

then you should know to come back later when youre stronger

[royal vale]

no never had that issue

[austere skiff]

the only chapters that i actively wanted to hang someone for was chapter 10

i NEVER want to see

that fucking artillery

ever again

[royal vale]

but if my units arent strong enough then holy shit dude who do i need to beat this

a whole team of like braindead meta or something

?

[tribal locust]

its not that your team cant beat it, you dont have the skillset to do so

[royal hamlet]

Can’t blame you, I’m a newer player and cheesed those maps with Ulpianus mostly on S2 and Kal’sit cause working with that cannon is irritating.

[royal vale]

and no offense but clearly yall dont either

[austere skiff]

im also new

[royal vale]

if im using ur strats and still losing

lmao

[austere skiff]

joined around exu2

[light falcon]

Oh wait

Did you borrow Ling?

[royal vale]

no

[tribal locust]

not my strat tho, i never offered you advise.

[royal vale]

shes mine that i invested a lot into

[raw mist]

What is the stage we're talking about here? Grand bazaar?

[light falcon]

Ah I see

[royal vale]

hense why i said "yall"

didnt mean you specifically

[tribal locust]

good

[light falcon]

I never borrowed units in anni, but if you can borrow

[royal vale]

id prefer not to

makes the grind 20x longer

not worth it

[light falcon]

Its k, after you finish this Anni, you can do other ones and ones without constant DOT will probably be fine for you

Just

Make it through this one

[tribal locust]

for anni stages that you dont need to grind for the weekly 1800 orus, you can just borrow since you wont come back ever

[light falcon]

You can do other anni right?

[royal hamlet]

On a rotation, we had an event few weeks back that that opened ALL of them for a time

[light falcon]

I mean for players that hadnt finish the lungmen starting ones

[royal vale]

maaaaan smh

[light falcon]

The perma annihalations

[royal vale]

if its a 1 time thing that im not farming then sure lemme js borrow

only got 2 runs left of ts anyway

[light falcon]

Hopping on my pc....

[austere skiff]

@royal vale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WakG8k4PNKw

[royal hamlet]

Iirc they were trying to unlock the Auto Deploy, so borrowing’s outta the question.

[royal vale]

plz dont tell me the annihilations r gnna get more annoying and harder then this one tho

or else IM COOKED

[raw mist]

Anni 3 is relatively easy, what are you talking about

[royal vale]

uh my friends dont got a thorn sadly

well they do ig they js didnt put him in support

cuz of all the new meta

[sterile delta]

for the development stage you're expected to go for it, its relatively annoying
probably solidly in the middle of the pack in terms of difficulty

[royal vale]

wanna walk me step by step on how to beat it then

[sterile delta]

typhon also shits on anni 3 so

[royal vale]

id gladly have u show me how to beat it rq

[light falcon]

I got someone else that's kiinda like thorns, not as durable but basically a ground range sniper

[royal vale]

elaaaa

[light falcon]

Ela covers a sniper tile but with module she can be plopped down on the ground

[royal vale]

oh man i miss her

[light falcon]

so as long as you keep her healthy, healed and away from sniper fire

[royal vale]

alr

[austere skiff]

grand bazaar is cancer aids if you dont have dot/multihit ops

[light falcon]

she will fuck the drones in her range up

[light falcon]

wait we should go over every decent sounding options first

[royal vale]

so she can js replace thorns?

[raw mist]

Oh that's how you deal with the tile? Never read that shit

[royal hamlet]

ThornAlt was my mvp for that mechanic and I’m psyched for the event that map’s based on to rerun.

[austere skiff]

the tiles are like

[light falcon]

with Ela you can just wedge her between the upper tiles, where there's a hole

[austere skiff]

the tiles share hp

to remove one tile its 10 hits

so say to remove 10 tiles

[austere skiff]

you'll have to do 100 hits

[royal vale]

o_o

[austere skiff]

then they all die at the same time

[light falcon]

yeah that's your problem solver

[tribal locust]

dont you play souls? you should eat hard content for breakfast 🤔

[royal vale]

this is a strategic game

[austere skiff]

guh

[royal hamlet]

The only Welfare op atm I can think of to handle tiles easily is like, Tin Man.

[royal vale]

its tryna make me use my brain

[raw mist]

I don't think souls required brain functioning, it's just muscle memory

[royal vale]

but i dont wanna use it rn

[light falcon]

if you don't mind I'll find a formation that works for ya

[royal vale]

forreal forreal?

[light falcon]

mm, my sleep is basically ruined so from 3 to 6 am, I'll work something out

[royal vale]

https://tenor.com/view/enel-bruh-gif-24188404

[light falcon]

since ling is your unit

[crisp bolt]

[light falcon]

I'll borrow her and check if I can make Ling work

if it doesn't, it doesn't but that's not an issue if you got fucking wisadel

[royal vale]

im tempted to take wisadel

since yall said she makes problems go away

[light falcon]

yeah she's essentially a cheese

[royal vale]

bro shes staring at me

[light falcon]

the stinkiest cheese to ever grace the game

[royal vale]

bro im trying to resist

[royal hamlet]

So well to the point I don’t use her anymore if I want to engage with the stage. (I say as I proceed to turn my brain off with ExuAlt and Logos)

[royal vale]

wisadel is trying to make me user her

[raw mist]

I think bro will love her, he's desperate to shut his brain off here

[royal vale]

AHH

pause

[light falcon]

so

silverash is s3 right

because I might just use him for the drones and invis fucks

[royal vale]

ion got him e2 sadly

spent a lot of my lmd on e1's for my base

[light falcon]

tis a shame

[royal vale]

shes staring at me bro

what do i do

[light falcon]

though do you have other units or are these your top guys and gals

no one else

[royal vale]

oh no

[royal vale]

uh i think they my top ppl

guy looked at my acc and made this squad for me

based on who i had so uh yeah

[light falcon]

can you afford to raise a few 3 stars?

[royal vale]

which ones

[light falcon]

spot, melantha, popka, just 2 out of three

[royal vale]

i already raised em pluh

[light falcon]

good good

that will... probably make my job not hell

[royal vale]

jp

spot is e1 lvl 1

melantha is e1 lvl 30

[light falcon]

oh wait

[royal vale]

and popukar is lvl 1

loool

[light falcon]

I can just be a psychopath

and use surtr s1

I mean s2

[royal vale]

i need a break from this game dawg

stressing me out too much

ok so since i clearly cannot beat lungmen downtown what should i focus on then

[tribal locust]

theres a lot more annis that you can do. I've been telling you this

[royal vale]

why are the other anni's easier then this one then

[light falcon]

take care

[tribal locust]

just kill as many as you can in the anni until your squad fails, youll still get the milestone rewards. Hop unto another anni rinse and repeat

[royal vale]

so i cant beat the other ones either then

[tribal locust]

we dont know until you try

[royal vale]

well uh im gonna try later this games annoying me rn

[tribal locust]

annis are supposed to be easy coz thats your main source of free gacha pulls. The fact that you cant even beat them says a lot about you 😗 🎶

[royal vale]

games r supposed to be fun and ts making me even more stressed

ggs

[royal vale]

HEY KID I FUCKING ASKED YALL FOR STRATS AND I STILL LOST

DONT TRY TO RAGEBAIT ME

[raw mist]

Delete it please oh god

[tribal locust]

🤏 🧠

[royal vale]

actual loser

[glass monolith]

First rule of dumb race known as humanity - those idiots will do everything to make your condition worse unless it is their paid job to do otherwise (doctors etc)

[royal vale]

deadass

[raw mist]

Oh wait Kyo don't have anni 3 guide right, is that why you're yapping here

[royal vale]

and then we got this idiot just saying "its so easy" but when i asked him he didnt say shit

[raw mist]

I didn't even see you roster man

[royal vale]

ive showed my roster above like 80 times

[raw mist]

Wait let me check my set up

[royal vale]

if u used ur brain

you wouldve seen my team like 20 times

when you were yapping in here

[light falcon]

testing this style

promising

though golden glow's def struggling somewhat when art drones come around

might wanna use exusiai....

but no one dies

its really fucking hard for anyone to die

bazinga

@royal vale

[raw mist]

It seems like the only problem here is the drones, since there's no reliable drone killer in his squad

I mean his team is already strong enough to take on this except just that part

[light falcon]

deployment order is myrtle, ela, eyja alter, golden glow (might switch to s2), ptilopsis, exusiai in the back for when gg fails to kill, then the two defenders

I can def make this more optimized

[royal vale]

alright ill try this thanks

[light falcon]

deployment order's important

[royal vale]

i dont got an ela to borrow tho

[light falcon]

ah well

[royal vale]

ye ill follow the order u put

[light falcon]

gimme a bit

31943935

[royal vale]

i dont got spot max lvl can anyone replace him

hes only e1 lvl 1

[light falcon]

yeah a solid defender will do

[royal vale]

so cuora works or gummy

?

[light falcon]

way better

[royal vale]

alr

[light falcon]

we don't actually need them to do the healing for others

just make them take the arts damage

[royal vale]

k

i put the code in it said nothing found

am i slow or smth

[light falcon]

did you put it in add?

[royal vale]

ye

[light falcon]

hmm

send me your code

[royal vale]

00291772

[light falcon]

got it

I'm Zero

[royal vale]

ye added

dont see ela in supp weird

[light falcon]

did you check specialist

[royal vale]

ye dont see ur name

[light falcon]

refresh

[royal vale]

oh i had to refresh

mb

there

[light falcon]

alright

[royal vale]

alr ill follow ur placements and order thanks g

[light falcon]

here's my last few tips

[light falcon]

surtr use s2 cuz it won't kill her, save goldenglow s3 for when you feel like the drone is gonna move past you, or when the invisible units are getting close to help declog

[royal vale]

k

[light falcon]

and save a few spare blockers for final stage in case golden glow couldn't kill the hammer dudes in time

[royal vale]

spare blockers?

like just random units to block?

[light falcon]

yeah

just anyone you can spare

for worst case scenario

[royal vale]

k

what does ela's skill do

or ult

[light falcon]

shoot hard

also shoot fast

its ammo too so it does not consume timer

[royal vale]

alr

[light falcon]

oh and her mines slows ground unit and makes her prioritize them for a while

[royal vale]

k

[light falcon]

while also increase damage done by everyone, its huge

[royal vale]

is myrtle fine?

does she need any help or anything

[light falcon]

remove myrtle when you get a good 200 dp and replace her with someone viable

[royal vale]

silverash work?

[light falcon]

preferably

[royal vale]

with s2?

[light falcon]

a defender

[teal moon]

have you tried using myrtle s2? I've read on reddit and #arknights that it's good healing

[light falcon]

absolutely

[royal vale]

oh k

i got cuora

do i use silverash or cuora

[teal moon]

maybe you can heal more if that's the problem

[light falcon]

might as well use sa

[royal vale]

k

[light falcon]

with this set up you can be asleep til the big fucks show up ngl

oh wait

goddamn bombs

let put my money wherem y mouth is

gg is dead

maybe

maybe im a bit of an idiot

[teal moon]

I just come and I've backread it

the problem is that he fails at 350?

[light falcon]

think so

[royal vale]

my gg js killed the bombers

[light falcon]

good work

im high and one hand on the steering wheel, metaphorically ofc

[royal vale]

lol

[light falcon]

I almost got away with doing pretty much fuckall

[teal moon]

with his roster it should have been pretty easy to do it honestly speaking

[light falcon]

well he couldn't, so, I just give a bit of a push

[royal vale]

oh wait i lost

my mom called me and 1 slipped by

what do i do he stunned my silverash

and then just walked past

[regal frost]

yes that's what they do

[royal vale]

brooo

i literally won but the 1 dude that stunned silverash slipped

cuz i retreated silverash

[regal frost]

https://youtu.be/gK242O80ebY?si=xvZLqMXsNkCqP3bZ

[light falcon]

replace him with another blocker

thats why I urge you to have spare blockers

[royal vale]

alr ill be rdy to block that this time

i beat it

lets goo

oh man that was stressful

LETS GOOO IM DONE WITH IT

[royal vale]

THANKS FOR THE STRAT BRO

[regal frost]

rotating annihilation time

[royal vale]

do i do other annihilations now

if the other ones are harder idk tho

[light falcon]

this one's issue is it has three lanes to defend, other ones may be more lenient

[frank quail]

When you guys first started what team would yall use?

[royal vale]

alr

[royal vale]

so the others are easier since i dont gotta spread out so much

[light falcon]

silverash, mudrock, pozemka

[regal frost]

there's newbie squad building in #help pins

[light falcon]

but

that was 3 years ago

[regal frost]

check newbie vouchers too

[royal vale]

OH MY GOD

I GOT PURESTREAM

FINALLY

LETS GO

[frank quail]

OK thanks

[glass monolith]

It wont be major difficulty spike as from Outskirts to Downtown but each is around mechanics of specifics events/chapters so it will differ in what works best
Simulation is for claiming first time rewards of outdated annihilations, current rotating is one which give final cap if you not 1800 yet

[royal vale]

ye im not at 1800 yet

im tryna get that

first

[royal vale]

so if i do the newest one thats in rotation rn

it will get me to 1800?

oh wait ye it will if i defeat 400 it gives 75 and im at 1725

[glass monolith]

"Current" is Grand Bazaar. It gimmick is enemies spawning green tiles on ground which buffs enemies in different ways (Most annoying is shit bird on top right which turns into long range murder platform), it takes 10 hits to kill tile and if tiles connected you will need to kill them all at once and it takes 20 hits to spread from killed tile to all collected to it.
Bottom will send annoying taunt enemy which has troll gimmick of gaining permanent DEF/RES stack when hit (based on damage type) which is counter to whatever you use to clear tiles quick

All Simulation annihilation is just "rerun" of old ones for first time 400/400 rewards. Nothing toward weekly cap. They rotates once in a while and around twice per year there is event when all annihilations available at once

[lyric elbow]

Sorry not sure if #help would be better to ask
I want to start playing IS 5 or 6
Who should I raise ?
https://krooster.com/u/blanky

[light falcon]

nary a gold to be seen here....budget IS I see

[lyric elbow]

yeah I started during the church/Lemuen event

[signal vector]

Isidro, feline milf, banshee hot men, donkey, random ursus student that eats people, and some other units that I forgot

[sterile delta]

you dont have a lot of options here ngl

gonna have to borrow

gummy click gravel ethan

beanstalk amiya indigo purestream meteor windscoot more niche

[void terrace]

More like i have pot6 lemuen and she inst holding up

Lemu's nuke has been more useful than her s1 with her range extension from any laterano op

Been trying to find a niche for leizi to fill on my tem but she just isnt doing enough to fit a spot at the moment

[royal vale]

anyone got a strat for me to beat grand bazaar?

current team im running rn

[light falcon]

This one might be a lil more challenging for me but

Once again I will try, and without support unit this timw

[lyric elbow]

What teams/archetypes (what I choose at the start of a run) do you recommend (until I unlock the "printer" squad )

[sterile delta]

for is5 support squad with wis/click/gummy until you unlock blueprint

the class squads are more meta for endgame but you dont have the roster for that

for is6 you open with tragodia or raidian

[nova shoal]

Guys

How

[foggy grove]

i mean what do you have lol
you can stall the golem if you need time to set up stuff

[nova shoal]

Stalling is one thing

[foggy grove]

boss really want high dph

[nova shoal]

But idk what I can use to take down the boss

[foggy grove]

or true dmg

[nova shoal]

As well as survive the red orange floating looking things

For my 6 stars

[nova shoal]

Here’s what I got

Issue is killing boss

And the orange floating guys

Oh

[foggy grove]

you have monster or lem s2

[nova shoal]

And the doggo not killing

[foggy grove]

either works killing the boss

[nova shoal]

Ye I got both

But the dog kills em

[sterile delta]

if you can get ray + warf down she fucks up the boss too

[nova shoal]

Idk how the system works for the doggo

[nova shoal]

Got none 😭

[sterile delta]

dang no warf

nvm then

[nova shoal]

Wait how is monster gona do anything-

[foggy grove]

he kill the doggos
so you can surtr and lem the boss

[nova shoal]

I dont got surtr 😭

If I did that would’ve made life a lot easier

Would warf + wisadel work-

[foggy grove]

what's wrong with lem s2?
remember you don't need to one cycle

i kill it with several logos s3
surely you can just use lem s2 and add more dps if needed
#strategy message

kill doggo>dps boss
rinse and repeat,you have enough dmg

[nova shoal]

Oh my days

Ceobe eats the boss

[royal vale]

anyone able to help with bazaar

best i got to was 340 and i die to that big ass wave

[unkempt lintel]

throw ur set up atm

[unkempt lintel]

and how ur ops look like in the anni itself???

that SA kinda dead weight

i would just bring ethan instead to have someone for tile clearing

[foggy grove]

switch eyja to s2
Surtr to s3

[royal vale]

alr

[pearl breach]

you mean eyja to s1 and gg to s2?

[foggy grove]

er yeah

lol

[pearl breach]

get some rest lads.

you are getting tired

[royal vale]

wait wat

so i use gg s2 over s3?

[foggy grove]

ye

[pearl breach]

there is nothing much s3 can do there. s2 and sleep

apparently, im tired too

[royal vale]

k

[unkempt lintel]

im also tired already...

oh w8 fak its only 10 am

[light falcon]

I tried but well, i ran out of sanity

[light falcon]

In this map yes since its unlimited duration, wider range and more damage

[royal vale]

k

[pearl compass]

[royal vale]

alr

ima go into vc and try ts

[uncut lark]

Anyone got any tips for BB-8? That assassin b-tch keeps one-shoting.

[weak gazelle]

hmm, which one again is that map?

well if capable of one shotting then uhh use -%atk debuff or dollkeeper for example

[uncut lark]

The one with the stabilizer chains gimmick.

[weak gazelle]

ahh yeah that one
what kind of ops/roster you use?

[weak gazelle]

oh this map
the chain would temp debuff him
so burst ops would be more favorable

[elder flume]

can use Trag S3

as long as hes chained

[weak gazelle]

yeah trag s3

[uncut lark]

The problem I am having is positioning. Like, I can't get the chains in the right place in time.

[elder flume]

only this left side chain matters

the other chains dont really do as much

so you can delay other chaining any time

[foggy grove]

trag left
thorns right

sounds fine

[weak gazelle]

yeah burst him on left side while him getting chained

[uncut lark]

Alright then.

[weak gazelle]

i do that too but in my case i use guardmiya + andreana

[uncut lark]

Should I change anyone or do I just need to worry about the position?

[elder flume]

prob just position

[weak gazelle]

yeah just the position
i just saw my own clear do it that way 😅

[uncut lark]

Assassin jerk still managed to get through. He was the last enemy standing and he got to the point!

Tragodia couldn't burst him fast enough.

[weak gazelle]

try add gravel or any frd to stall him a bit more

[uncut lark]

Not to mention that annoying ability to pass through enemies when he's below 50% HP. Slipped right past my Matterhorn.

[weak gazelle]

ohh maybe try bring crowd control ops

[uncut lark]

Like who?

[weak gazelle]

a lot

[hazy sinew]

don't you have tragodia to pull him back?

[uncut lark]

Yeah but I switched to his S3 to try and burst him.

That obviously didn't work.

[weak gazelle]

ethan, krooster, istina/ange, cliffheart, etc

suzuran s3

[uncut lark]

Still got through... I think it might be the positioning.

[weak gazelle]

probably
you can do it

sadly your ulpi e1, if e2 maybe his s3 would fix the problem

[uncut lark]

It's not that. The moment he slips through Matterhorn, he enters the box immediately. No time for bind or anything.

[weak gazelle]

ohh that
yeah better positioning then

[foggy grove]

it has what like 24k hp?

[elder flume]

if you need more chains theres Ethan to make it easier

[uncut lark]

He got killed. The RNG screwed him over.

STILL can't stop him. He keeps entering the stupid box!!

Stupid punk a$$ jerk!!

I hate enemies with invisibility.

[foggy grove]

do i have to open my game for this

[uncut lark]

I tried. I really did but NOTHING I did worked.

[next wigeon]

Just borrow Degen

1 Degen Skill killls the Assassin

[cursive python]

/materials

[next wigeon]

#bot-spam

[cursive python]

Ty

[next wigeon]

The event is over anyway so no point leaving an Auto

[uncut lark]

I can't find a Degen.

What class was she again?

[next wigeon]

I can let you borrow mine

Guard

Void#0732

[pearl compass]

Guard/Swordmaster

[next wigeon]

Added

[uncut lark]

So what are the steps once I borrow Degen? Like the deployment order?

[next wigeon]

Anyone cheap in Castle's position

Then Degen

https://youtu.be/KU7ZCx2JCFs

You can look here for Degen Timings

[elder flume]

Wonder if 25 level difference fails this

[sly drift]

Raise Scene/deepcolor now!!

[pearl breach]

this is enough for bb8. use trag s3 instead.

[foggy grove]

have to wonder tho why he is e2ing goober like courier and scavenger
instead of raising his good ops

[pallid veldt]

whats up my fellow arknighters

[light falcon]

Have you completed the stage yet? I got the set up that works just waiting for you to appear again

[lime lantern]

what should i be doing here

i forgot how this mechanic works

[narrow pendant]

Ops not in the laser regenarate -0.5 sp/s lower

And some enemies have debuffs whille in the laser

[lime lantern]

where should i drop my ops idk if im going to get fucked by some random ranged attacks or something

[narrow pendant]

Uh, canta top left corner facing right

Leizi to the right of the top golem facing down

And go from there

[glass monolith]

Crabs have reduced defenses while lazered, those dude on left I think attack everyone within lazer

[narrow pendant]

Its an easy stahe once u play thru it

[lime lantern]

i see

[pearl compass]

All ops has -0.5 SP regen on Time charge skills. Ops inside of lazer has normal + bonus according to amount of ops inside lazer - the more, the greater the effect.

Female mages on the right HATES lazer and deal big ass AOE to those, who isn't in that lazer.

Fat dudes on the left LOVES lazer and deals chain damage over all your ops inside this lazer.

All golems around has weaken DEF and RES when itself inside of lazer.

[lime lantern]

got it

[sly drift]

What is this called again? Mechanical disaster? lowkey one of the stage I hated the most

[true stag]

musical disaster I guess

you need to be in the beam to get normal sp regeneration, but violinist (or some other mob) attacks connect to everyone within the beam

oh bengal replied

[pearl compass]

Manmade Carnaval is the Ep11 Artillery, Dorothy Titans and Watercannon Truck bullshit stage.

Or Mechanical Menance is the IS3 Mortar Drone stage.

[granite perch]

Need some advice to beat this one stage, I don’t have much art or pure damage

[elder flume]

get Ethan then

Gravel S2

Gitano S2 depends

[sly drift]

Wait... No maintenance?

[elder flume]

10 mins maint

[pearl compass]

10 min one will occur.

[granite perch]

Who the fuck is Ethan?

[light falcon]

Head to red certificate shop, he is a 4 star

[lime lantern]

u can just borrow him , hes a specialist

[light falcon]

Him or Ascalon

[granite perch]

Never mind I just borrowed wisadel and it annihilated the enemies

[maiden hound]

😂

[glass monolith]

Yea it be like that with units which are 3 years ahead of event

[void terrace]

Damn radians fish have some stupid range on s2

I thought it was only like a 3 tile range but once her skill is active the range is nuts

Does s2 do physical damage?

[dapper hedge]

Its straight shot

Like those mobs on ela event

[pearl compass]

He asked damage source.

I cannot find info myself.

Would consider Phys in that way.

[dapper hedge]

? I was talking about the fish projectile range.

[forest dove]

Guys. I want to E2 an operator. Should I do Silver-something-something or Thorns first.

[maiden hound]

sil er as

[forest dove]

Silverash. That's the dude

Since he's quite good on my IS run

[maiden hound]

yeah

[sly drift]

This IS#6 is so suck bruh..

What do you mean I have to actually play the game

[glass monolith]

game of how much kettles you can Ling in?

[signal vector]

I'm having flashback from mizuki's bizzare adventure...

[glass monolith]

Table slap 53 spear throwers

[signal vector]

Them possesed dudes are fckin annoying 😭

[latent halo]

i need someone with

max luoxiaohei , humus and purestream

add me please

[still wolf]

Recently got new operators is this squad already good to get me going for main story or should i change some of them?

[latent halo]

leizi SA

krooster

focus on these 3 if you wanna fast push main story

id say make silver ash e2 first

these 2 is not needed

[still wolf]

Do i have to change them?

[latent halo]

you can add 3 star kroos and gravel into it

[still wolf]

Aight thx

[full terrace]

Ah new toy..

[fading solar]

I'm trying to get the third ending with Patriot. Anyone I should try to get that I'm missing? This is my squad rn.

[narrow pendant]

Degen in is5

Krazy

Well uh, dp gen and an actual good dps
Wis, rosmi

[latent halo]

archetto

archetto + degen s2

if you have aspd go qiubai

if you have non of these take someone tanky

[fading solar]

It's only diff3 so doesn't really matter I guess, haha.

[narrow pendant]

Sure but, just saying
Lot of ground ops are cringe in is5 cuz necrosis is everywhere

[pallid veldt]

does anyone have warf s1m3

[wet tangle]

3-8 need help

[light falcon]

hang on a bit

[light falcon]

I don't have tequila or scavenger raised, but

kroos, then andachiel, fang on bottom shield tile, scavenger on top, put silence down, tequila, do not put anything on the tile bottom left of kroos til skullshatterer moves a second time, then put down gravel to stall, use this time to put lappland on top right

ofc some units here are E2 so they're stronger, specially tequila

so this probably will mess up if you copy to the letter

[glass monolith]

When i did 3-8 i hold ground in front of blue box, blocking boss is death, bait shots to someone to avoid AoE (Medic at middle last deployed should do). By time boss loop around other enemies will be dead allowing to pile up DPS on boss

[light falcon]

I'm raising my own tequila just to make sure I give a workable advice so let's see...

[glass monolith]

When spawnkilling dont work, long live blue box camp

[light falcon]

alrighty

so, beagle first instead of gravel first

since gravel with her shield will buy more time

[undone herald]

advice on getting as far in lungmen outskirts as i can?

[foggy grove]

More aoe

Puller will trivialize the other box

[undone herald]

ok rope and shaw

what should my comp be?

[foggy grove]

I mean what do you have lol

[wet tangle]

i did it thx

[foggy grove]

this is what my alt run,shaw kinda does nothing

[undone herald]

https://www.krooster.com/u/moral-teal-moose-09h1

[mellow kite]

do I play it fast and loose or try to get some health before then

also is that the boss that ends the run

[foggy grove]

if you can try to e1 tequila,he is pretty good
else just run what you raised
gitano cuora kroos etc

[light falcon]

Yeah

||he casts a yin and yang drone strike on your ass in the form of flying unit that enter either side of the screen, and you have to stay on the correct hui and Ming tile to nullify it, but he also switches the side his yin and yang shit come out.||

[undone herald]

got 366 kills think i can get more?

[light falcon]

well

the first boss took like

15 of my lives

12

[void terrace]

Damn how is

Ente redeeming herself so much

She actually carries so hard at low difficulties

Started consistently getting ending 1 just by starting with her

She just solo holds the whole bottom left lane on ending 1

Im more sureprised how badly ling fares in this IS

Too many things can kill her main body

[void barn]

What does each option do?

[modern plover]

This is the bait sarkaz girl version of is6

[hollow wadi]

Avalokiteśvara

this buddha will lead u to "punishment" with 12 chopsticks spawner continuously summoning black dragons

[lime lantern]

what do here

[nocturne coral]

Since you have Tragodia, this strat works wonders for me: https://is-central.github.io/is6-sui/is6-progression/#ending-1-strategy

[royal vale]

ok

im at the bossfight can some1 js help me out real quick

this is my team

[pearl compass]

Win.

Retreat Wis as soon as boss going phase 2

Destroy her coffin when boss ended teleport skill

Kill him again

Win.

[royal vale]

loolo u funny

alr

if i lose ur fault

leggo

heheheheh

[narrow pendant]

5 ops, 1 e2 at f5 boss

[plain flame]

Oof @royal vale, just saying, if you only plan to do ending one, it is much more beneficial to borrow Tragodia. He absolutely shits on ending 1

[royal vale]

alr he did tp and i retreated wis

so i js destroy the coffins now?

[plain flame]

Yeah, do it carefully, make sure whoever does that doesn't die

[pearl compass]

When he flew and do the skill, then deploy ops to destroy the coffin

[royal vale]

i cant bro

[plain flame]

When they are destroying the coffin, that is

[pearl compass]

Cause he already marked ops to teleport that way.

[royal vale]

ye i lost ggs

[pearl compass]

[royal vale]

i got like no ops to go to them gg is the only one alive with ptil

[pearl compass]

F

[royal vale]

silverash is doing peashooter dmg to him

[plain flame]

Yeah, try Tragodia this time. His S2 shits on this boss

[royal vale]

and my gg is on s2 i shouldve maybe done s3

welp still a good run

[pearl compass]

Wis S3 is basically enough.

No else.

[royal vale]

she got the coffin

[narrow pendant]

Did u skip lot of fights
Why only 5 ops

And 1 e2🥹

[royal vale]

ye i skipped as much as i could

[pearl compass]

That's when GG and SilverAsh should shine

Destroy the coffin, redeploy Wis

[royal vale]

gg couldnt reach and silverash js does peashooter dmg

[pearl compass]

And win.

[royal vale]

and he also got 1 shotted and coffin

[pearl compass]

[royal vale]

ayee 3 lvls tho

progress fr progress

[vital arrow]

someone probably forgot to mention fremont has 30% DR per orb

[royal vale]

already getting better

[plain flame]

Use Tragodia if you were in that bad of a situation

[royal vale]

first time i got to the bossfight solo

[royal vale]

trag is better then wis?

when farming ending 1?

[plain flame]

For this specific fight, his S2 is better than whatever Wisadel can do from my experience

[royal vale]

oof

so hes js mainly good for that bossfight

[plain flame]

But ofc, he doesn't have the same destructive power that Wisadel has before that fight

[pearl compass]

The problem is

Fremont can teleport ops to wherever most ranged enemies are there

And just instakill someone

[royal vale]

ye i js need to break the coffin

mann

[plain flame]

Get lucky smh

[pearl compass]

[royal vale]

the moment i get wis out of the coffin she can just 1 shot his dumbass
