wdym "hardly nerfed"

bro died to a single degen s3 😭

my raid boss has been reduced to an elite enemy

[sly drift]

Nerfed hardly

[wicked minnow]

oh

[sly drift]

Ig they don't want to bring RA nightmare into this lmao

[wicked minnow]

bro got no-diffed by pepe as well

[glass monolith]

Wait degen 3 continue blocking durign skill?

[wicked minnow]

surtr rolled the boss. actual ptsd from doing surtr hospital in RA

[foggy grove]

yes?

iframe while blocking

because why not

[glass monolith]

Reverse is Steam Knight, "flying" bombardment while in reality still being blocked (I tried to Camo blocker to avoid bombardment but blocking disables Camo)

[void terrace]

Damn has anyoje tried surtr hospital vs yi

You can surtr hospital with just mon3tr shu exia surtr

And honestly 3 of those are staple picks anyway

[austere skiff]

surtr hospital?

[void terrace]

So all thats left is surtr

[void terrace]

Keeping surtr s3 alive

To extend its duration infinitely

[pearl compass]

Surtr + all ops are healers trying their best to not getting Surtr reach 1 HP threshold.

[void terrace]

In this case this set up redeploys surtr with exia to reset the ramping hp loss

Shu and monst3r can easily cover the remaining healing

[austere skiff]

dang

[void terrace]

And also significantly amp surtrs damage

[void terrace]

Lmao i remember stalling with trag ascalon and yu

To just keep telporting / luring the boss around the map.....

Also how does one win the candleguest promotion via combat stage

Ive only ever won it with exia barrier

And a strong medic

Without exia how do you even survive the lightning

[sacred phoenix]

How do I beat this

[teal moon]

1. you want to eventually rework your team

2. you should e1 some of your ops

3. get tequila from dossoles holiday and use the e2 ticket you got on him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZeegJaI2xU&list=PLdcpPSF3owK7djfBlADBeL17PgXIHs9Z0&index=36 here a playlist on how to get him

[pearl compass]

Wtf is that squad, bruh

[sacred phoenix]

it's full of characters that I find hot/cute

gomen

[foggy grove]

i can see why he is struggling

[pearl compass]

Remove Mountain and Astesia, Mountain needs E1 to work, Asteria is shit regardless and shouldn't be used at all.

[sacred phoenix]

who should I replace them with then

[pearl compass]

Indigo and Orchid is also questionable, would change over Kroos and Steward.

[somber falcon]

if your problem is the drones, bring marksmen

[pearl compass]

Add Fang and Spot on them.

[teal moon]

I think the problem are the bunch of e0 ops

[somber falcon]

they have air enemy prioritization

you can clear that stage with e0

[pearl compass]

FEater feel good, if she looks directly into hole on top left.

You can lure enemies to left bluebox and immediately grant them death by gravitation.

[teal moon]

I'm pretty sure she doesn't have enough skill levels

[pearl compass]

Well, at least I ain't suggest to remove her.

[sacred phoenix]

oh god

i ran out of money

https://tenor.com/view/squid-game-oh-my-god-bruh-saleswoman-oh-my-god-bruh-gif-2398788864743270124

[pearl compass]

No wonder.

[sacred phoenix]

uuuh

yeah ill comeback after i finish getting money

[somber falcon]

🚬

[teal moon]

full afk

overdid but should work

[glass monolith]

I wish they did more of those rooftop design where half of boundary is just holes

[teal moon]

go get tequila btw, I've sent you the playlist

[teal moon]

I doubt they ever will

[sacred phoenix]

I have no idea where that is, I stopped playing for a while so I don't understand 90% of the ui

[glass monolith]

Damn gif for that

Give it to #help chat, nobody bothers to explain navigation to events

[sacred phoenix]

thank you king

[teal moon]

even one for invitation to wine lol

[teal moon]

I stole it from someone there

[sonic willow]

HOLEHOLEHOLEHOLEHOLE

[teal moon]

not in the pings btw

[glass monolith]

If they increase font it will be "Ho-ho-ho", Santa is somehow involved

[elder flume]

3 rows of holes but only 1 works

[sonic willow]

fill it with holes so people won't miss it 🙏

[glass monolith]

Free operators on events and their restorations usually take like 4-5 stages to obtain.

[sacred phoenix]

forget about my question

it was stupid

[glass monolith]

You will need to dig into EX stages to get enough stars for max pot i think

[frank narwhal]

❓

[elder flume]

Used skill too fast
Supposed to wait till she comes

[frank narwhal]

y-yeah

i used it when she was there

[elder flume]

Huh

SL1?

Mine was E2 1 SL7 got through 80% hp

[frank narwhal]

SL?

[elder flume]

Skill level

[pearl compass]

Skill Level.

[sonic willow]

probably didn't let it charge

[elder flume]

Easier to put Teq 1 up and Mlynar on Cuora tile
Switch Myrtle for Lapp or SA after shes done farming dp

Mlynar Teq skill when in range

[frank narwhal]

oh right

[foggy grove]

just use mlynar to kill the boss

[glass monolith]

Tequila trait need to AFK 40 second to build up ATK stack and skill get extra duration if you let it get ready twice

Fuck E1 Mlynar sounds effects

[sonic willow]

use both 🧠

[frank narwhal]

not enough

[frank narwhal]

die from the other lane

[foggy grove]

it's enough if you let him charge since he outdps teq even at e1

[sly drift]

Wat? He is?

[sonic willow]

and get some dps in there. myrtle fang gonna leak trash mobs

[sonic willow]

don't play with mlynar bro he's him fr

[sly drift]

But honse

[sonic willow]

i did the mental math. the dps is ||a lot||

[sly drift]

Is it perhaps deal more than S3 on single target

[sonic willow]

s3 doubles trait effect ie. +200% atk --> +400% atk so I doubt it

[sly drift]

How come all your dps undeployed

[sonic willow]

dealing one big hit also does much much better into big defense over hitting twice

[frank narwhal]

what does "70/100" mean

[sly drift]

70 starting SP
100 SP needed to fully charge the skill

Are you actually asking or...

[frank narwhal]

i mean in your name

[sly drift]

Oh

That's my gacha pull plan

[glass monolith]

Bro is too poor for guarantee and bored enough to count pulls

[sly drift]

I think it's time to update

.

[glass monolith]

See, totally bored

[sly drift]

True..

Bad news is that there's no way I can afford Hoshi alter.

[glass monolith]

I aim for Haruka anyways

[sly drift]

I will get her on 2028

[foggy grove]

use s2,up his skill level
can add your sniper to help if needed

[elder flume]

can prob even put vanguard down first and Mlynar still gets max charge

[worn root]

holy shit, mylnar en voice

[sly drift]

Mlynar EN is peak

Now get mandatory emergency Accident on Survival floor and that's what I call "fate decided"

[sly drift]

Battle on each floor are already very minimum with no damn way to prolong it. And then it fk you even harder by this -50% exp

For 4 5 and 6

Caus i am NOT spamming d12 and above runs

[glass monolith]

Can't d0 cheese flex

[void terrace]

I can beat d18 amiya on furnce fablss

Which is the true skill issue

Barely any rng anf still cant win

[elder flume]

Debuff icon still exist but actual stat isnt debuffed

if anyone can lend Ayer mod3

[merry narwhal]

not even I have that

I'm not sure who asked about this 3-8 earlier

this is the easiest solution I can come up with an e2 borrow

[merry narwhal]

you can copy this if you want, just have to borrow Ling while you have your E2 Tequila in the squad

[glass monolith]

Why bother, it doesn't even attack, it copy Stainless stats for skill

[elder flume]

theorizing when enemy regains their atk stat

and the aspd to fully let Mousse have 100% uptime in the worst case scenario of 4 double hits before skill

Ayer would just let me afk while checking

or ig Shu is good enough hm

[merry narwhal]

after the first Ling activation the rest is AFK, enjoy

[stray hornet]

is it just me or is the video not playing

[worn root]

played for me

[glass monolith]

Played on my phone. But I have issue that PC discord refuses to play video of few people

[mint iron]

Video also broken for me

Just sounds for some reason

[plucky grove]

pc doesnt play videos if their size is too large, you have to wait for the entire vid to load

[merry narwhal]

it's 10 MB and I made it as small as I could

[glass monolith]

Local download should work but that inconvenient for me

[leaden sierra]

And they said Ling won't see much use after Raidian's release. Look at us now, crawling back to her.

[merry narwhal]

double the dragons afterwards

here's the vid on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFaPAQ6aYdQ

[glass monolith]

Bro literally can't get Radio before doing Skull shatter, it is so over

[merry narwhal]

use Ling skill when Skillshatterer is in range

[leaden sierra]

Ooh, damn, I forgot. But can't they borrow?

[glass monolith]

Well yes. But why not borrow Ling

[leaden sierra]

I don't see a Raidian clear in arkrec, curious.

[merry narwhal]

Raidian probably solos this stage yeah

Ling just needs a little help with the flyers

but she's extremely easy to use

[leaden sierra]

true, radio mommy requires slightly more skill, not that you can't be skillful with Ling, but you get it.

[merry narwhal]

WAIT A MINUTE

LET ME COOK

nooo

it has to be possible

the ancient Banana technology

[stray hornet]

id be surprised if it isnt possible tbh

[merry narwhal]

yeah the passive explosion works

but takes some work

[haughty flower]

I think banana needs to be one more tile up to avoid getting blown to shreds.

[merry narwhal]

one wave of flyers is too fast for her S1

so you need RNG on her talent to get the explosion

so you retreat one guy, kill another and then it's possible

she's safe there, dw, this is a year 1 stage

[shrewd fractal]

oooo are we doing nostalgic stages today

why banana tho

[merry narwhal]

to solo it

Ling wasn't quite enough

[shrewd fractal]

dang

how tf ling can solo hard af stages but not 3-8

[merry narwhal]

fylers

[shrewd fractal]

oh lol

[merry narwhal]

• stealth

so no s2 action

[glass monolith]

It is not about the reason, it is about journey

[merry narwhal]

who wouldn't grind a stage to use one fewer op

[leaden sierra]

It's doable, but why torture the poor newcomers with eblana rng

[merry narwhal]

and make it infinitely harder

[glass monolith]

People who have other things to do and don't run content channels for AK

[shrewd fractal]

the better question is why he no borrow wis and just nuke everything

[leaden sierra]

people who don't have ling

[leaden sierra]

wis can't do it, solo, surely.... 😅, she'd leak drones trust oh yeah, stealth exists

[merry narwhal]

no, because stealth

[shrewd fractal]

i was talking about the new guy lol, why didnt he try wis

[mint iron]

Skullshatterer gets distracted by the summons anyways, half of the time eblana doesn’t even get hit by the aoe

[merry narwhal]

the ranged attack deals no damage anyway

[glass monolith]

Is new guy even in this chat? There was one in Help but he got over stage already

[haughty flower]

Fair enough, forgot how weak SS is to any real 6*

[haughty flower]

We normally get sidetracked considering strats. Go back to farming IS lil bro

Is your Raidian even modded.

[leaden sierra]

Counterpoint, put her on the bottom tile, for more aggressive positioning.

[merry narwhal]

i leaked a melee

joyplush moment

[glass monolith]

I am not even farming for this entire day, 2 hours of trying to job to hit deadlines, 3 hour of cooking, 1 hour of realizing job is fucked due bug which is fixed by other people. "Why day is already over"

[leaden sierra]

3h of cooking 🧐

[glass monolith]

Because for reasons i celebrate new year with family on this weekends and then alone at 31rd

[merry narwhal]

I love her

regardless

[scarlet fulcrum]

long vacation
maxee radian
Life so joever

[glass monolith]

Btw, Doom, have you checked if Firewatch S1 make her immune to IS6 ed1 bullshit? I know Manticore during her talent invis is immune

[leaden sierra]

poor April just gets bonked out of existance

[merry narwhal]

didn't try her because e1 is just flamebringer + medic

those two duo the boss and whatever else you bring is there to clear some trash that even vanguards can kill

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea fw work

[merry narwhal]

the explo trigger is not on block

it's on touch

so I'm assuming Invis will work

[scarlet fulcrum]

even Ines works

[glass monolith]

Ew, Ines All i know about HG coding, some stuff works, unless it don't

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can try her while blocking Yi

[merry narwhal]

🍌 is hard to play, no wonder nobody uses her

this is giving me some maggie vibes

[glass monolith]

Maggiecarp is invis too?

[merry narwhal]

yes

as long as you have an adjacent ranged tile next to her

she's invis entirely

[glass monolith]

If only i was half bothered enough to have her build not to mention absolute **** of voucher RNG and competition

[merry narwhal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4D9scbDn0w

i cooked, totally how a new player should clear it

absolutely

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1010862727536840724.webp?size=96

[leaden sierra]

congrats!

[merry narwhal]

🥹

for some reason you only get the explosion if an upgradable ghost is available

if you already have 3 fully upgraded soldiers

nothing happens

and here I thought 6☆ always came with insane QoL

this is a worthy gimmick

[scarlet fulcrum]

Will be good experience for new player

[merry narwhal]

not every new player will have rangers

[scarlet fulcrum]

Rangers free actually

[leaden sierra]

I guess that gives extra control, could just remove one ghost before a kill to keep the explosion an option (she'll totally spawn it in the correct spot, turst).

[merry narwhal]

I totally didn't reset 3 or 4 times because the soldiers spawned in the exact 3 tiles that wouldn't block the stealth enemies

[leaden sierra]

reminds me of that one guy that used collapsal food respawn to kill ceobe boss, not once, not twice, but 3x.

[merry narwhal]

Pramanix2 solos the stage with 1 step

hilarious

[lavish otter]

What the hell is going on in r8-8

My brain is gonna explode

[glass monolith]

I keep forgetting their number, it is escort mission or very toxic birdo?

[leaden sierra]

Welcome to the escort mission at home

[scarlet fulcrum]

Escort 50% or more hp remains

[merry narwhal]

the one with the artillery drones?

[scarlet fulcrum]

yea

[merry narwhal]

that's one of the most fun stages in the game ngl

[scarlet fulcrum]

Old time click carry

[merry narwhal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5dufbjzrMA

already covered it 3 years ago

sadge

[leaden sierra]

andreana

[merry narwhal]

you can probably do it with April too for the sniper trio

i didn't have her back then

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can also just borrow nowadays stuff then move on. Worth to try first tho with ur ops (for fun)

[merry narwhal]

looks like it was my first clear too

[lavish otter]

I think I can beat it with leizi

[leaden sierra]

stage layout doesn't favour her, but she can def take down the middle 2 drones.

[lavish otter]

What about mlynar

[leaden sierra]

I'd say he's a better borrow, cause taunt aggros the drones, but if you're borrowing borrow lappy alter.

[lavish otter]

I’m not borrowing I have leizi and mlynar

[leaden sierra]

You have 0 issues then. You got this gl! I'd still say leizi's better for middle 2 drones when they go up

[scarlet fulcrum]

very doable yea

[glass monolith]

Lmao someone did H14-4 with E1 Tragodia solo

[stray hornet]

thats crazy

i thought you needed fucking e2 90 with max pot

[worn root]

I like how theresa started dancing when counting stars started playing lmao

[haughty flower]

@sharp flint

Here's an example of my preferred strat. Basically you use defenders galore to stall out the boss while killing minor enemies and clearing up most of the hidden ones.

[sharp flint]

thanks, ive been setting up on the right side like that with ulpianus and leizi in the top lane

with leizi s1 so she can one shot the -dp dudes

ill try moving them over like youhave here infront of blue box instead of at the entrace's to the right side there

[haughty flower]

If you stall them right you should have already killed like 40/55 of the enemies before the boss switches into phase 2.

[haughty flower]

Careful, you need to switch your setup for phase 2

[sharp flint]

yeah phase 2 has been the closest ive gotten

then i got fucked by one dude who slipped thru

[haughty flower]

Atp you should switch your setup and open up the right side. The trick is stalling.

[sharp flint]

the boss always walks the same way?

[haughty flower]

IF memory serves the boss will indeed bunch up at the point where cuora is blocking them. The defender in the blue shell.

[sharp flint]

yup, got it

il try that and let you know how it goes

thanks

[haughty flower]

One last thing, on phase 2 once boss is down to 50% it does a special attack. Makes pretty much every op on the map explode for big damage, steals an operator permanently, and spawning a drone that will do further damage above their head.

[sonic willow]

sacrifice a guy 🙏

[haughty flower]

I sacrificed gravel personally. Who you pick is totally up to you, though.

[sharp flint]

is it the most recently placed op?

[haughty flower]

If you're out of deployment slots you could even bring a bot solely for that job.

[haughty flower]

It picks 1 op who has the least amount of ops surrounding them, then by deployment order, I think.

[sharp flint]

so drop gravel in narnia

[haughty flower]

yeah, just like so

Gravel was last deployed and is in nowheresville, nowhere.

She'll get eaten by the damazti and you'll never see her again.

[sonic willow]

can also sacrifice your vanguard

[haughty flower]

Could too, yeah.

[sharp flint]

this was the messiest ending to a stage ever

i got it tho

one of the three clusters was standing in the middle of the box as he died, like one pixel to the left

and one of the dash dudes

the better crownslayers

did the same

[haughty flower]

Yeah damazti is an awesome boss if you don't try to steamroller it. Like a lot of good bosses, genuinely makes you desperate.

[sharp flint]

if i auto deployed this 100 times

it would fail 100 times

it was that close

[haughty flower]

Have fun doing the hell stage versions later

[sharp flint]

lateR?

im doin em right now

[haughty flower]

Oh boy

[sharp flint]

there is only one hell mode stage i havnt beat yet

and its h15-4

that one is a royal bitch

h12-1 done

[sharp flint]

you cant exactly steamroller her either

the mechanic is really cool

health gated boss that clones herself

super interesting

[topaz stag]

Any tips on how I could improve this setup for sk5? I still have all my beginner vouchers, so if there are op characters, I could redeem them.

[sharp flint]

Had fun, All 4 are done. Its crazy how the hell stages are easier up untill the final one

and even the final one was fun

Borrowed Shu for an extra tank, dear god is she broken tho

didnt even need to use the teleporting thing, but her healing is absurd

[sonic willow]

don't use selectors to clear sk5 🥀

[stable stream]

Helpp..... 12-19

[acoustic zodiac]

can someone help with h8-4
i always let a few of those guys we're supposed to protect die after the first round of fireballs

and a lot of my ops die after the nightingale s3 wears off

[pearl compass]

Logos S3, Wis S3, Nighty S3.

[acoustic zodiac]

thats what im using rn

[pearl compass]

And just sacrifice more bodies to tank fireballs instead of civs

[acoustic zodiac]

i start using nightingale s3 after the first round of fireballs and i cant kill talulah before the skill wears off

[pearl compass]

Nothing you can do more

Just use Temporary Immortality units to tank more

Like Surtr, both Specters.

[acoustic zodiac]

the fireballs arent the problem for me, its the flower bud looking things that come up

[pearl compass]

AH

Just FastRedeploy it

Thinking even Gravel can destroy it before it explodes.

Much better if TexasAlter or YatoAlter.

Or whoever can reach it.

[acoustic zodiac]

cant do that sadly since im using a support slot for nightingale

[pearl compass]

Still any strong melees might solve this for sure.

Even Melantha.

[acoustic zodiac]

ic

[acoustic zodiac]

you think cantabile works?

[pearl compass]

Should as well.

They're ain't that tanky anyway.

[acoustic zodiac]

ill try now

[acoustic zodiac]

this is the team imma try with, is this simply just skill issue?

[foggy grove]

can't you use cat to kill flower?

[pearl compass]

Probably yes. The big issue is just Inferno skill, but seems to me you shouldn't worry about it and maybe even Wis+Logos is enough.

[foggy grove]

what's their hp anyhow

[pearl compass]

Basically nothing much.

[foggy grove]

that's just one pop

[acoustic zodiac]

oh yeah i should use trag

[tender orbit]

Guys is it a good idea to lure stuff with Trag out of Eben's range so he can store charges

[elder flume]

If you need to

[pearl compass]

I would throw Eben out of the team, tbh

If you started to ask these kind of questions.

[tender orbit]

I'm doing things

[acoustic zodiac]

i leaked 1 too many fireball...

at least im getting really close

[elder flume]

Can cycle Logos with NG ?

So Logos handles 1 wave + NG handles another

Start Logos S3 as Tal dies should allow the balls to be removed before it hits Logos

Ulpi S3 to snipe Tal might be enough alone

[pearl compass]

If you won't kill Talulah fast, he may change once more before next Inferno.

[acoustic zodiac]

i beat it

i beat it

finally

i can go back to easy stuff now

thanks for the help bengal fox

[pearl compass]

My pleasure

[topaz stag]

How the hell did you clear with a box of scraps and duct tape

[glass monolith]

Just be lucky and have Shaw push all enemies into hole, because every other auto heavy enemy does moonwalk from hole back on ground and you die to damage it inflict eventually

[sly drift]

https://youtu.be/T8bFqg7hvB8

It surely been a while since "Just Surtr it" eh

[sonic willow]

shaw side is pretty consistent for me

left side collapsed on the last wave cause cardigan does not have a defense buff skill

[glass monolith]

There is something with those big shield guys on my end which just don't work with sl4 Shaw. And I am not m3ing for base material stage because when I can can m3 I don't need to build base

[coral mist]

guys i gotta know

how in talos' green earth do you get more than 30 life points in IS6 omggg, i cant even get to 20

[elder flume]

IS5?

[worn root]

Skill dif

[elder flume]

Does IS4 have a reliable LP spam kek

[glass monolith]

(IS2)

[elder flume]

Havent checked if Hool mod stacks LP till end of floor

[glass monolith]

Ho'ol's module wording kinda confuse me. It is 1 objective shield once per run or once per map?

[elder flume]

Map

Per run sounds shit

[coral mist]

okay how do i even get to that? i fight yi with only 20-something max hope

[elder flume]

Hool mod wants you to leak every stage to use it well

[glass monolith]

20 max? Are you running from ALL fight nodes or something?

It is "classic" roguelite, more you jump head first into danger without dying stronger you are, or dead

[elder flume]

20 max hope indicates 3 6 stars

E1

[coral mist]

not all the time

I see multiple blue bozes across both ends of the map i select another node

omg is this just skill issue?

[coral mist]

it's 1 e2 6 star on my usual case

[elder flume]

Uhhh do you save recruits to make them cheaper and be able to be used in bosky

Else you just lose function to like
Half the game

[coral mist]

omg so it's lack of full game knowledge and skill issue

aight imma do one run then

[elder flume]

Prob read #is-station pins on it

[glass monolith]

Hard to say, but i am looking up my IS screenshots and like, i rarely short on max hope by end of run.
Make sure to spend meta currency before starting new run (thing somewhere on left part of UI on IS screen)

Meta upgrades can have more EXP per fight for level ups, IS2 harder difficulty can troll you with -50% EXP

Also shops/emergency fights might produce relics for more hope.

But pick emergency fights smart, some of them is straight up run murdering stuff

Which is how half of my IS6 runs end, i facecheck fight i dont know and eat shit due underexpecting amount of buffs on enemies

[pearl compass]

...Yes, you shouldn't do that, unless other endings, which may be acceptable as you try to prio reach them.

No battles = no vouchers and no Hope.
No vouchers and no Hope = no broken ops.
No broken ops = and the Final Boss stage will nail your ass off, even before he even arrives on the field.

[elder flume]

Inb4 all ops are non Yan

[pearl compass]

So playing pussy is not appreciated in any (!) ISes.

Because you volunturily harden the final boss fight that way.

[sonic willow]

what doesn't kill me makes me stronger typa game mode

[vocal leaf]

now somehow an angel and an italian girl are yan

[elder flume]

And a previously Yan gained a non Yan alter

[topaz stag]

Can I use saria instead of spot cause they’re both heal defenders

[elder flume]

If your Saria doesnt die in 2 hits sure

[median shard]

Any tips on IS6 where you are againts an old man riding a goat? I'm tired of getting teleported

[pearl compass]

Wis S3 his ass

The best I could offer

[normal gull]

Hi! I know my team isn't very good, but I wanted to know what you recommend to improve it because I started playing yesterday :3

[foggy grove]

diamanter earthspirit and pramanix is kinda bad

[elder flume]

Change Ptilo to skill 2

[foggy grove]

you have canta so you can kick scavenger

[normal gull]

Honestly, it was really hard to get Diamante, but in battle I realized he wasn't very useful, whereas Pramanix always helps me a lot

[normal gull]

Ptilo is the one who helps me the most; I put her and another healer in battle and my characters are practically immortal

My problem is that many enemies often appear at once, and although my warriors are strong, they can't deal with them all at once

(some keep going)

[foggy grove]

it's fine when you promote eyja and mountain,they'll handle aoe better

[median shard]

I suggest to use myrtle behind heavy rain (if you dont have saria) so you can block up to 5 enemy ( up to 4 if use saria)

[median shard]

Yeah the timing is always bad for me to unlock the S3 wisadel somehow

[normal gull]

Thank you so much!!

[median shard]

Other tank beside saria where they had 3 blocks also works (to block up to 4 enemy), but the healing range of saria really the key to hold the line and backup your healer in my opinion

[shadow onyx]

any tips for is6? im very struggling

like some specific collectibles or some sort..

[teal moon]

#is-station pins

[sacred phoenix]

I can't get tequila even with a guide, and it's because of my overwhelming skill issue

omg finally

[frank narwhal]

what do i do here?

[spice mortar]

you place your units in a way that doesnt allow the enemy units to get to the blue boxes

for the drones you have 2 aa snipers

[frank narwhal]

which is?

i cant place down the 2nd sniper before they get through

[spice mortar]

you have 2 vanguards? use their skills

[median shard]

Stall with 2 vanguard

[frank narwhal]

❓

[spice mortar]

put sash on s1 in the middle too, should help

[spice mortar]

use another cheap op

[frank narwhal]

like what

[median shard]

Have you try texas ?

[spice mortar]

gravel, yato etc

look in your roster and sort by dp cost

doesnt need to be leveled its 1 dog

[sacred phoenix]

I got tequila, I heard I need to use my e2 ticket on him?

[worn root]

There are better units to use it on but tequila is not that bad of a choice

[teal moon]

unless you have like la pluma yeah

[teal moon]

there are like a couple of better ops to e2 for early game, not that many

[sacred phoenix]

Uuuh just asking

Should I gacha?

Or should I not

My operators looks kinda ass

[teal moon]

no, check #help pins for pull priority in coming months
wait for summer event release

[lavish otter]

Help🥀

[teal moon]

are you open to borrowing?

[lavish otter]

I mean I can easily borrow wisadel from my friend and easy clear

[worn root]

Place leizi alter right at the enemies with s2

[teal moon]

jobs done

jokes aside

I'm pretty sure Leizi2 can basically clear left side

maybe not alone but your roster should be able to hold the rest

[ancient hearth]

depends on healing, even with her bulk dropping into that many imperial strikers isn't the best for your health

[lapis hornet]

use the rest to deal with leftovers idk

[lavish otter]

Ty

[lavish otter]

[crisp bolt]

:ya:

[normal gull]

Is she?

[spice mortar]

Cant go wrong with myrtle

[round junco]

just don't e2 her

[jovial nest]

Which one is this? Next new SSS is still 8 weeks away unless they preloaded it that early.

[vocal leaf]

it’s exactly that, all the jan-feb content must be already preloaded

[normal gull]

Drones never let me give 3 stars

[spice mortar]

Get kroosalter

[normal gull]

Now I understand why gacha is so important

[foggy grove]

There is entire branch that prioritize drone

Use 3* and 5* kroos

[smoky parcel]

Any easy strat for IS6 guided tour 4 and above? This 40% hp buff for enemies and 50% buff for talisman is too much for me...

[spice mortar]

Kroosalter is a free character

[worn root]

There are players that play the game with only welfare (free) ops

[glass monolith]

Marksman snipers (focus drones in range above all else)
"Bonus damage to drones" tiles. I wonder

[normal gull]

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I get that?

[spice mortar]

#help pins

[normal gull]

Thank you!

[lavish otter]

Is this a good squad

[desert prairie]

3 vg is overkill

[last arrow]

texas is such a fraud here

[wintry gulch]

Swap out Texas, ideally Jessica/Amiya as well if you have better options

[noble pewter]

Get rid the risks coin asap take leader squad with end times if u have, start with raidian if u have, save all recruit voucher for floor 2 candle discount recruit, at end floor 1 spend all in shop then refresh n rob for free with end times, instant strong by floor 2 start end game with 150 ingots unspent n cry

[hazy sinew]

texas is a cutie patootie fraud
decent team i guess since they're mazxed, there are better options

[open shore]

Dsnm bro tragoatdia hard carried me here

[sharp flint]

Did you end up beating this stage?

i just did

if you havnt, try setting up a kill gate on the boss so the second wave of mobs doesnt spawn

||you do that by making sure the prts robot dog is dead before the golems spawn, and then for aslong as a golem is alive the second wave of enemies doesnt spawn so you can blast the boss. I did this in the top lane with saria and a healer. On the bottom side of the map i used Monster and Kaltsit (And her monster) to kill the dog, and lemuen to kill the boss. Make sure to activate monster skill early since she way overkills the boss and you need her to have it back up again by the time the dog stands back up||

[light falcon]

I think the boss also recovers bar w every hit

So prio dph

[desert prairie]

Lemuel two cycled the H15-4 boss

You just need to have another burst option for the mechanism... which can be lemuen

Use the funny laterano marking tech

[signal vector]

All you gotta do is pillar this bitch...

But ye wait till H9-6 where there's practically only 1 pillar for you to use and the condition to use it is diabolical

[glass monolith]

#strategy message global range bullshot go.

Also her DR is like what, 70%? Just overkill 3 times with Exu2

[pearl compass]

It's actually hilarious

Drop the own pillar that Mandragora wants to push.

Onto herself.

[open shore]

i didnt used a single pillar

[glass monolith]

Imagine cat, with super speed, which throw object off table and then super speed under table to be hit with it

[void terrace]

Is it worth m3ing wis s1 and lem s1 for cheeto IS memes?

[elder flume]

If you want

Worth depends on yourself anyway

[sharp flint]

mine definitely didnt but i was using s3 and not s2

didnt end up mattering at all

[stray dune]

there is no benefit from this right?
or am i missing something?

[pearl compass]

Yes. You wanna get rid of it ASAP.

With least worthless Risk coin, if possible.

[desert prairie]

i forgor, i used warfarin

warf lemuen two cycle

[next wigeon]

You don't if you doing the Ling Gambling Strat

[pearl compass]

@next wigeon

I predicted that.

[next wigeon]

Nuh uh

What if you can't get Risk Coins due to shit rng 🤫

[pearl compass]

Skill issue then
Should have Risk coin

Restart for better RNG

[plucky grove]

:fated:

[violet sorrel]

[graceful zephyr]

perhaps I assume EN can't read to blindly, you guys actually devise strategy huh

[stray dune]

how hard is this?
and can i do it?

[pearl compass]

You have a healer, so yeah

[stray dune]

raiden S2 or S3?

[pearl compass]

It may be from fucking simple to "gonna spot your EyjaAlter and you don't have heal at all, so die"

[pearl compass]

Again, depends.

You cannot predict what will happen.

But medic is must have here

A strong one

[stray dune]

failed lol

[pure orchid]

hard, not worth if u have vouchers

if tourist squad it could be worth but i hate tourist squad

[sly drift]

What's next? Cost 10?

IS#2 is not real

[stray dune]

the only IS i hate is IS2

[somber falcon]

8 hope for e2 ops is average though

[graceful fog]

for sui suppression garden, can i perma stall with my current squad level?

i was thinking smt like this

all the videos i saw on gravel/cat stall had e2 gravel but mine is only e1...

so if i chuck in tulip as a occasional staller would it work? :3

[pearl compass]

Yes

With ease

[pearl compass]

Any melee works

[graceful fog]

oh? but they need to have low redeploy time right

or not really

[pearl compass]

If Yi stays on top side of the map whole time

You win

Basically

[graceful fog]

ok nice

is there a way to tell which map i have before entering?

i got shafted last time when the middle was full of ranged doods instead of the melee ones

[pearl compass]

Pause when loading complete to check enemies.

Which one spawns across the mid.

[graceful fog]

alr thanks!

[pearl compass]

And pause when you see Yi red line path.

To know where he goes to block occasionally

[graceful fog]

gotcha

[graceful fog]

his pathing was a clockwise loop, anything to take note before stalling?

like going in squares touching the edges

[pearl compass]

He maybe goes counterclockwise as well as go straight down.

[graceful fog]

wait what, he doesnt adhere to the red line path? O_O

[pearl compass]

That's why I suggest you to pause when his red line appears

To know which way he goes

[graceful fog]

yea his red line appeared and its a clockwise square

so ig thats fine?

[pearl compass]

As I said, he can go other directions

Not only clockwise

[graceful fog]

ah yea, i had him going straight down the previous run

that and ranged doods in the middle really screwed me over

[sly drift]

Say what

[rich plover]

What would be the enemy number

[glass monolith]

"Number" don't really help because it display how much you killed and entire trick is based on killing boss (in this case robodog) before everyone spawned in. Golems are like 17/18th enemy I think

[ocean bear]

Am I cooked

[spice mortar]

No, wis boss right side exu left amiya saria bp

Texas where needed

[sly drift]

Mantra was like.. "DELETE"

I really like how it happens, its very subtle they just die

[glass monolith]

No wonder I managed to miss announcements and showcases of Mantra on CN. Nobody lived to tell the tale

[inland moat]

is ch 15 the hardest chapter? took me like 2 hours to finish 15-20 and im dreading the hard mode stages/extra stages

[lapis hornet]

stat check stage

easy - hard depends on your roster ig

[sly drift]

No shit sherlock

[inland moat]

my 15-20 clear was scuffed ngl

didnt even use archetto or raidian just squad fillers lmao

[lapis hornet]

vina one cycles boss ez so was ez for mi

[inland moat]

Ulpi s3 2 or 3 cycles the boss cant remember

[lapis hornet]

fewer nuke options for h4 tho

[inland moat]

I have zero clue how im going to do h4 I guess I just need to stall with virtu shu amiya?

[glass monolith]

H4 cheese have me cornered by most evil thing in this game. Defender check

[inland moat]

afaik shu does cheese the boss cause she can perma stall it with s3 as long as you meet the dps check to kill the walker before it gets picked up again

[brisk chasm]

i think of of the stages can be afked with ulpeen and logos or smt

[jolly zinc]

https://youtu.be/8AcHQfoinXs?si=iray-OUK-aArgWiK

who can replace logos here? (Assuming thats even possible)

[sly drift]

Man you still have EIGHT free slot. Are you deadass can't make it works yourself

[azure knot]

Is this the right place to ask for team help?

[maiden hound]

this is stage help. if you want to make a team to beat a stage then go ahead

[azure knot]

Soo uhm

I was wondering if anyone could help me make a team of only sarkaz units

Like I've seen a fair bit of cat teams and I kinda want to do the same for the sarkaz

[foggy grove]

wis gg

[azure knot]

I was tempted to do a dragon team but I'm not sure I can make one before I die of old age

[jolly zinc]

yea im not good at the game, just wanna know in advance so I can raise those units

[maiden hound]

idk

[mint iron]

Won’t be easy because he’s there to do a lot of things (multi target arts + elemental damage + a little tanking) in one deployment slot, though it looks like the video usually has 1 deploy limit free throughout

If you can afford the dp with some extra vanguards I could see him being replaced with a combo of good ops like virtuosa + nymph, upgrading the medic + defender could make it easier too

[azure knot]

Oh, thank you, I'll use this as my road map until I've successfully gotten all the characters

[smoky halo]

you can use other art dmg unit like ceobe or something, no extra range just mean u need to bring another blocker

if u mean replace logos as in replace what he does but only take up 1 slot idt thats possible

[jolly zinc]

hmmm oka, so i do need the elemental dmg
i think my vg should be enough,
altho no virtuosa, can try coping with the 5* ritualist(idk?)

[jolly zinc]

wha ceobe
will try, didn't think she would be an option against logos

thanks for your help toffee and fib

[mint iron]

You don’t need it but these enemies start off with high def/res and elemental damage is an easy way to get past that

Their stats do reduce every attack so you could maybe use a fast attacking op instead

[mint iron]

I don’t think valarq has a fast enough necrosis activation to do it, better off using an actual dps

[sly drift]

But you have eblana and Ines?

*necrass and ines

[jolly zinc]

something like kroosalt, or uh mon3 aspd buff then

[sly drift]

What do you have so far based on that video for reference anyway

[jolly zinc]

oh

[jolly zinc]

yea, ines was in shop so

[jolly zinc]

everyone except logos

[sly drift]

Then just borrow him?

[jolly zinc]

wait i can still get all the rewards even with borrowing an op for my team?

[maiden hound]

yeah

[jolly zinc]

oh

sorry for the dumb question then, thanks yuva and gaspard

[maiden hound]

ze more you know

[idle wren]

Need help with 7-9 ples

Am struggling with early game

[elder flume]

borrow Ines should be enough

[idle wren]

Hmm idk if i wanna borrow

But alright cuz ive been stuck here for so long

[elder flume]

start with Gladiia into Myrtle then

[glass monolith]

Dog go woof

[light slate]

im stuck on m8-8 😞the boss kills all my ops esp in phase 2 https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/hedda

[elder flume]

save your Degen skill for phase 2 if need to

lower your dps if you cant outheal

[light slate]

the only way i ever got him to phase 2 was degen skill :P

[light slate]

im upgrading sussora and i have perfume rn but what do u mean lower like do less dmg?

[glass monolith]

Fart dots stack and last 30 seconds each separated

[elder flume]

you stacked poison by bursting him

[light slate]

ohh

[pearl compass]

Kill boss slowly then, if your medics cannot compete with DoT pace.

[glass monolith]

Dot stops after you kill boss for good in phase 2

[light slate]

alrighty if i use thorns for boss will that be slow enough?

[pearl compass]

Yes.

[elder flume]

prob

[pearl compass]

[elder flume]

can even ignore bird to get secret ending

[glass monolith]

Btw want secret lore node?

[pearl compass]

Maybe even too slow, I'm afraid

[glass monolith]

"Itwillbefine"™

[light slate]

hum im not sure who else to use i feel like snipers r too quick degens too quick and thats abt all the ops i use

[elder flume]

you have 7 mins its fine

at most 20 mins iirc

[light slate]

okie dokie i will try

my thorns died

[glass monolith]

I am afraid to ask what you did to poor bird to delay it by 13 minutes

[elder flume]

Frame perfect teleport cancel

Tho kina forgot how to do it

You can Degen skill just not at bird

[glass monolith]

Man you are collection of most cursed arknights coding moments

[elder flume]

oh ye its just trigger fart a frame before tp to override it

[worthy carbon]

hi, wanna ask, does anyone know how is6 face off nodes work in regards to the melee/range tile operator limitation? are there any rules on which types of operators it bans?

it's quite annoying that it straight up bans me from clearing the rightmost stage just because i dont have a good ground/range dps that is the opposite of what i have at the moment

[pearl compass]

No. Just tile being only Melee or only Ranged. Tap to see which one is it.

[worthy carbon]

hell

thanks

[tender orbit]

Honestly I always thought it's a bug cause past IS doesn't have it and there are times where I actually can't place either melee or ranged

[worthy carbon]

yea, idk who thought it was a great idea

[pearl compass]

Well, you played IS5

[tender orbit]

Example

[pearl compass]

Now time for a difficulty tweak

[tender orbit]

(I can't place Lemuen or Pepe there)

[worthy carbon]

huh

maybe i can just glitch my dps to appear hahaha

can try next time

[pearl compass]

Anyway, I figured out that you should take center enemies

Because they have two vouchers

Instead of rightmost

It has rare coin

Instead

[wicked minnow]

i take the one i can do most easily 👍

[pearl compass]

[worthy carbon]

oh they have different drops?

[pearl compass]

Now it's balanced Face-Off

[tender orbit]

I take the one where I can place my carry

[pearl compass]

Always

It depends which enemies do you pick

[worthy carbon]

is the command exp drop different as well? im doing that mostly for command exp i guess

if it is then its not that bad to just do left

[pearl compass]

That one I cannot confirm

[tender orbit]

Wait stuff like uh

Lp and squad size is rng right every command level up

[pearl compass]

Ummm, no, fixed.

[tender orbit]

Or is it not

Oh alr

[pearl compass]

It depends on Level itself

[wicked minnow]

and the IS

it's different from IS to IS

the hope is at least. i couldnt care less about the squad size

[glass monolith]

Meta progression for more EXP, relics for more EXP, curses to fuck you less EXP (at least in IS2), emergency/normal idk

Squad size: not enough

Don't recall ever capping that shit out outside is3

[wicked minnow]

is2 for comparison

[glass monolith]

no wonder i was feeling like having no squad size in is2

[sonic willow]

The maps so primitive in is2 that they gotta make it hard in annoying ways 🙏

[smoky parcel]

is6 is literally garbage from A4... yes, give more hp to enemies

[wicked minnow]

[worn root]

Skill issue

[smoky parcel]

then tell me how to easily beat A4 and above levels

[graceful fog]

uhh how to deal with middle enemies

i cant spawn cat fast enough b4 boss spawns

gravel insta dies if i dont clear them out b4 boss spawn

[wicked minnow]

i mean you can bait their attack with gravel

[glass monolith]

Hey it is that coin tossing enemy (Nuclear explosion)

[wicked minnow]

other than is6 being the easiest IS released, you can gather 50+ hp every run and leak the boss lmao

[graceful fog]

ill try ty

[wicked minnow]

you likely arent using raidian properly

[worn root]

Waltuh

Also is6 is rlly showing people having skill issues with summoners

[glass monolith]

I have issue named 5 guard vouchers

on -2 hope ranged squad

[wicked minnow]

leizi mlynar and uhhh

oh

lmao

it is what it is

[smoky parcel]

@wicked minnow @worn root wow, your answers suck af

[glass monolith]

I wonder how far i can carry Etne Crownslayer

[wicked minnow]

what are you struggling with? the boss? the stages before the boss? pathing? effectively using bosky? starting squad? tongbaos? hp economy?

[smoky parcel]

tell me how to play A4 and above... from squad to boss

[graceful fog]

man gravel is the mvp of this boss fight goddamn

[glass monolith]

If i had Ingot each time Gravel stalls something to afterlife i wouldn't need to do shop donations

[wicked minnow]

do you have +1 hope on selecting starter squad from skill tree upgrades?

oh wait nvm

that'd d9 and above

[smoky parcel]

this one? its A9... how this can hell me with A4?

[wicked minnow]

uhhh dw about it

[worn root]

I never said I'll be helpful

[wicked minnow]

you start with special squad and e2 raidian. floor 1 should be very easy with her. you should be saving all your vouchers. 1-2 vouchers from combats and 1-2 vouchers from shop (assuming refresh) depending on the quality of the vouchers. the bosky at the end of floor 1 i would recommend entering it and doing the first few steps in the bosky. use up all your LP in the shop if that's available. then go into encounters and retrieve nodes (btw you can see what they give before entering them)

on floor 2 use your vouchers in the pathfinder node good carry units that you might have. you draft units like wisadel exu2 tragodia leizi etc. you also prioritize making raidian a candleholder when you have the chance. afterwards you path towards bosky. this time i would recommend saving your base candles for a later point (usually floor 4 since on floor 4 bosky is guaranteed last node meaning you can path into a pathfinder node that floor also this allows you to do the requirements for ed 2 or ed3 on floor 5). if you have good units to be able to do bosky combats like an e2 raidian with candleholder and or an exu2 wisadel etc. that can somewhat reliably clear bosky combats then go for it otherwise just save the base candles.

on floor 3 you path bosky and save the base candles or if you can do the combats enter it.

on floor 4 you path towards pathfinder and use up some of the vouchers that you have hopefully been saving along the way. if you have been saving your candles, you will be doing most of the bosky on this floor. doing combats, fishing for ed2 or ed3, getting LP from tavern, buying from shop, regenerating hp and whatever else people do in bosky

on floor 5 you either path bosky or path pathfinder for ed3

as a general rule, raidian can solo a stage unless proven otherwise. she only needs a tiny bit of help on even the hardest stages 👍

as a general rule in bosky it's usually prefered to enter a node that reveals more adjacent nodes

it's almost guaranteed to get 50+ lp if you go for it and you rarely ever need that much if you simply draft good units which you generally can because pathfinder node -2 hope cost

[worn root]

Holy mucho texto

[wicked minnow]

tongbaos are also very overpowered and are another avenue of getting power. also the relic quality here is very high so there's that as well

[glass monolith]

(googling what "Clarity" means)

[worn root]

[smoky parcel]

which reruitment set should i choose and what characters? Also how to get 50LP when you spend them in sui brother shop?

[wicked minnow]

whichever has a supporter voucher. the one with guard supporter medic is pretty good. you can draft windscoot raidian purestream. 2 yan operators for the bosky condition

by LP i meant both the health and shields

in tavern node in bosky you can trade in 20 ingots for 10 shields. this takes up a candle to do however and isnt guaranteed per taven visit. you can also use 20 ingots to heal for 12 LP as well so there's that

completely unrelated to that, here's ed3 with 80 LP saved up

[glass monolith]

Who is that pokemon

[pearl compass]

I need to see that Sui Hour.

[glass monolith]

Will trade DP cost one for it

Can't see shit is funniest hour, don't do anything to you but hell to show game to someone else

[smoky parcel]

windscoot with module i guess?

[wicked minnow]

shouldnt really matter. e2 raidian can easily solo early stages and windscoot doesnt help later on. he's just for the bosky DEI condition

[smoky parcel]

Should i steal mr can not shop?

[wicked minnow]

people tend to steal it floor 1. if you have the chance go for it. try to find a setup that works consistently for you

e2 raidian should be able to to pull through alone but i think that's with max investment

she should be able to do it alone tho ye

[smoky parcel]

@wicked minnow what medic/caster would you recommend for this IS> Which from these two classes is more important?

[wicked minnow]

kaltsit and logos are pretty good

if you dont have logos, i dont think there's a caster i would really recommend

[glass monolith]

Personally throwing Amiya medic at stuff

[smoky parcel]

Yeah, i was using logos most of the time in this IS. Lapter is not very usable here

[wicked minnow]

i heard eblana was decent

[glass monolith]

Physical violence scales better

[wicked minnow]

havent really tried her out myself tho

[smoky parcel]

oh yeah, tried elbanana, quite good

ok, whats this? I tried is6 like ~20 times but see this for the first time

[glass monolith]

Radio ahead is amazing

Be ready to some fight

[smoky parcel]

I hate F3 bosses

[haughty flower]

Me when raidian scouts ahead and the field is now coated in s3's that make the EM version a cakewalk

[glass monolith]

Unless one is me and fails to deploy Radio in way S3s start hitting middle line

[pearl compass]

Battle (easy)

(especially easy with Raidian S3)

((she literally solos the stage alone))

[smoky parcel]

I always lose 4-5 LP...

how to fight this invicible lady? She need to be blocked with defender or what>

[haughty flower]

Always choose "ask raidian to scout ahead", switch to raidian s3, then make the s3 airplanes range intersect in the middle lanes

This allows raidian to essentially solo the stage due to there being like, 15 airplanes buzzing around the field.

Nothing survives that unless you're seriously lowrolling.

[glass monolith]

It is floating, you shoot up

[smoky parcel]

oh, flying unit... drones getting smart

[haughty flower]

Low-altitude hovering, as stated in-game, in the wiki, and probably in some of the IS6 resources

You can remove it. Stuns are a great way-wis'adel upscale strikes again.

And she can regain it every time she so much as lightly brushes against a talisman.

[pearl compass]

Skill issue

[haughty flower]

Also heals herself via talisman.

Don't even walk here without Sl7

Ok, I did A4 but my squad was OP

[scarlet fulcrum]

is3 enjoyer based

[midnight veldt]

So is the best strat for ED3 is just to get a bazillion hp?

[next wigeon]

That's the easiest and tedious way to do it

[pearl breach]

You want helidrop and good healer

The stage itself is not difficult at all. Just focus on clearing all the balls

Kirito s3 is very good on this one.

Singular long tile + she wont spawn the balls if you retreat her mid animation

Mizuki also a good choice since he can hold 2 bot lane with +1 healer

[vestal badge]

what would i need to do to have an easier time in grand bazaar? this is the team i typically use for content just cause i dont have much options

[pearl breach]

you are good to go, as long as you can control the top right red box

[surreal star]

grand bazaar i feel like you can throw a bunch of meta stuff at the wall and it'll work

[vestal badge]

should i place thorns on the top, all the way to the right or in the middle bottom T shape?

[pearl breach]

I'll place him on the right side of blue box facing left.

hmm interesting, ill try

zuo le should be on s3 for this?

[pearl breach]

s3 would be good since he probably wont get anything to hit by the time the enemy reaches him

also, good nuke for green tile

[vestal badge]

change krooster to a healer/defender?

[pearl breach]

depending on your layout.
krooster alone can hold the top right until 370ish. but it's up to you

[vestal badge]

this is my layout rn, last time i played the stage i leaked at like 380

there is still time for changes ig

[vestal badge]

yep this part completely kills my entire squad, thanks for the help tho

well not really entire squad but way too much too handle

[vocal leaf]

what is killing you? laser birds?

[vestal badge]

mountain died before ptilo could heal him enough then laser birds killed my lemuen who was above ptilo

i guesss after they also killed krooster

[vocal leaf]

why would they target lemuen? was she the last deployed?

greyyalt could help you clearing the green tiles, so birds don’t get global range

tinman s1/s2 is also an option

[next wigeon]

Perhaps don't let the green tiles grow?

[vestal badge]

i think it was lemuen then krooster then ethan then mountain in order of when i placed them at like 350

[next wigeon]

It buffs the enemies on it

[vestal badge]

the drones did it, i didnt know they do that

until they did it

[vocal leaf]

do you have greyyalt or tinman? they could help with that

[vestal badge]

greyyalt

[next wigeon]

Try to remove the green tiles as fast as possible

Arts dmg from the buffed enemies hurt af

[vocal leaf]

at e2 he has 3 hits per attack iirc, or was it with module, anyway he’s good for that, tinman has dot skills kinda like ethan, that’s why they’re good for this

[pearl breach]

I tried with your ops.
The top side didn't need anyone to defend, trag cat is enough.
Lem with s2, barely spend any bullets.

[vestal badge]

you dont need to cat the mummies bottom side?

[pearl breach]

Nope. By the time the mummy reaches thorn. It is already on low hp with NI being proc

The mummy cant even hit thorn

[glass monolith]

Tragodia will probably murder them with elemental damage, they are not very tanky, their gimmick is DEF/RES stack when hit but like hp is sad

Their are opposite of green tile gimmick of hitting it 10 + 20 per connected tile times for it to leave so you will speedrun them to max stack with Ethan etc

[vestal badge]

should i wait till next week to try again or waste 25 sanity on 25 orundum i might get at midnight?

[pearl breach]

No pressure for doing anni. Also, you should have quit the game if you fail midway during anni run (wave 100+)

It wont cost any sanity or being counted as lose/ win.

*force close the game

[vestal badge]

thanks for the help, ill try again next week

[robust kiln]

I'm so confused by BB-S-4, I've done it five times and I lose two lives everytime even tho I have a strong setup and no mobs have reached my blue box

[haughty flower]

I'm going to bet a few deathveils are sneaking past the setup and in the chaos you're missing it.

Specifically, on the left side.

[lyric elbow]

In IS 6 what do you do on the "Feng Shui" fight ? The one that has 3 boxes to place and has an enemy that is full of flying thingies that cannot be blocked

[haughty flower]

There's 2 methods that I'd reccomend.

The black dots represent the roadblock configurations. Both ways force enemies to go in a big loop.

Left config is technically riskier due to being under more consistent fire from talismans, along with also being a slightly shorter path, so right config is normally my preference. Either works, though.

In terms of ops needed, you'll need one op capable of spitting out arts dps for the Fountainboil (crabs), and one op capable of aoe or good multitarget output to handle the Heartbillow (Lions). Maybe a healer or ops like Exu Alter to help sustain the team and keep them from dying to talismen. And that's about it.

[worn root]

There are enemies that, let's say enjoy taking the scenic route

They go all the way around towards the blue box on the left

Have some good dot and blockers on the left or right side and you should be fine

[pearl lion]

Dyt gracebearer is worth building for 5* runs in is6

[void terrace]

Errr

Unlikely

You would probably pick amiya over her

Amiya medic can be recruited by gusrd vouchers

[lilac steppe]

Whats the proper stage mechanic to avoid mass killing in this stage?

Its a lone trail stage, where the balls explode when Kristen dies

[vital arrow]

Silence kristen

It disables the explosion

[lilac steppe]

Ah silence, cool thx!

[pearl compass]

Silence works only on Phase 2.

Phase 1 still explodes.

[unkempt mirage]

I wish I had known that before

She's annoyingly tanky to brute force

[pearl compass]

That Reduction should also work on True/ElemDamage source, yeah.

[uncut lark]

Need help with HE-6. I freaking hate the statue gimmick by the way.

[pearl compass]

Too bad. Need babysit statue.

Put Myrtle and spam S1 whenever you can. If civs will running away from top left side, it would be harder to make them live.

If they running, put any FRD to tank incoming stones.

And spawnkill the center redbox to kill Fortuna ASAP before she starts shooting hard. If afraid, put any jebate like FRD or tanky on DEF defender.

And ofc don't let the enemy team destroy those statues.

[uncut lark]

Alright now I'm on HE-8. No babysitting statues this time because they're ALL DESTROYED.

Also where are the crumbling masonry on this stage?

[maiden hound]

topside going down

and i think some of em on the left rolls rightside too

i used a gravel for this stage to block some of em stones i think

[uncut lark]

Can I Wis'adel it or what do I do instead?

[maiden hound]

probably can wis most of the mobs

[uncut lark]

Like do I need to plan?

[maiden hound]

but needs noticing gardener & babysit the civvies so they don't get crushed to death iirc

[uncut lark]

Also how do I keep the civs from dying in this stage since there are no statues?

[maiden hound]

gravel sac to the stones

[uncut lark]

Why not use a tank?

So I Wis the mobs and have everyone else focus on the gardener?
