strategy

[cinder minnow]

Oh, also, the buff civilian guys? Cause I haven’t seen the armored ones

[hidden axle]

Yeah civilian-looking giys

[cinder minnow]

6. I don’t have sl7 because of rma

[mental venture]

do i just nuke tallulah and logos the fireballs

[cinder minnow]

I’ve been working on skill levels lately thankfully

[hidden axle]

Bro do whatever you want that team is too stacked for jt8-3, talulah would be begging for mercy

[cinder minnow]

“Lately” isn’t a very good term though the account is like 10 days old

Mountain just doesn’t kill

[elder flume]

https://youtu.be/9I7KfuWWqJU?si=lcyKQLRHy6kGLyKp

[cinder minnow]

Eventually dies

He can handle some of them at least

[brisk surge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Jh469b48o

this is my slop clear

[cinder minnow]

But not nearly all of them for sure.

[brisk surge]

but like im abusing kafka

[hidden axle]

Max yt channel

[cinder minnow]

As it happens I don’t own a lot of 5 stars or anything so probably just doesn’t work for me

[hidden axle]

Their low rarities aren't even e1 sadly

[hidden axle]

Give your mountain uh a medic and a kroos ig

I am stupefied by mountain not dealing enough dmg to kill quickly but uh you know better what's happening

[elder flume]

its because Mountain is fightin 1.1k def

[hidden axle]

They mean mobs

Basic mobs

[elder flume]

that is the basic mob

[hidden axle]

What

[cinder minnow]

The normal civilians they can

Uh. The buff civilians no

[cinder minnow]

I knew it

[hidden axle]

You meant them all this time?

[cinder minnow]

Yeah

[hidden axle]

yeah mountain would struggle against them for sure

[cinder minnow]

Buff-looking civilian guys

[hidden axle]

I thought you meant the very basic mobs

[brisk surge]

i mean im just showing a slop clear

[cinder minnow]

He gets stuck on them and other stuff gets through

[elder flume]

Mountain just sucks in this event since he wants to use S1 to maximize arts gear

[brisk surge]

cuz im bad and i cant kafka cycle for 10 mins

[cinder minnow]

Those are pretty easy yes yes

[hidden axle]

I would say casters help but your click is e0 surtr isn't e1 either otherwise ig s2 could have worked

[elder flume]

best choice is Humus Cutter or anyone with low sp cost

even Saki but thats slop

[cinder minnow]

She’s on the top of my priority list! …or would be, if I had the materials

[elder flume]

ig you can keep cycling S2

even SA S1 is good with arts equipment

[hidden axle]

Their saki is e2

Can stall ig until s3 is up

[cinder minnow]

but there’s two lanes is the problem

[hidden axle]

Oh wait let me look if they have any bricks leveled up

Bottom lane only has steam knight elites and steam tanks

[cinder minnow]

And due to mob spam the s3 won’t be killing the boss (which I absolutely need

[hidden axle]

3 steam tanks 2 steam knight elites

[cinder minnow]

I don’t think so

[elder flume]

you kina can just let boss be

you have E2 Lapp

[cinder minnow]

?? No I don’t

[elder flume]

so she perma cc him

[cinder minnow]

huh

e2 lapp since when

i wish

[elder flume]

oh i looked at wrong roster ig

owel

Jaye S1 works

surely

[cinder minnow]

what jaye?

[elder flume]

[hidden axle]

Boss is silencable? ☠️ I can't

[elder flume]

ye silence just makes his stage timer delayed

[astral cosmos]

u can sleep and stun him too, and he won't instakill ur life points as long as he's CC'd this way or silenced

absolute joke of a boss

drones are more of a threat

[hidden axle]

I knew about the stun (I spammed texas2) but damn sleep amd silence work asw

[cinder minnow]

Probably why apparently only people asking about it are newbies (such as me)

[astral cosmos]

u can make tsukinogi solo dps his ass

actually comical in the big 2026

[elder flume]

are you farming this stage or no

[cinder minnow]

I have not beat it to know if I can farm it in the first place

[elder flume]

asking since theres a bunch of solo clears

Wis usually

idk if i wana attempt your roster yet since all my ops i can use is alr E2

[hasty minnow]

Your mountain needs another crowd control to support it. I used SA s3 from the list of ops you had

[cinder minnow]

hm.

uh, have you seen his level?

[hasty minnow]

Aw shit

[cinder minnow]

yeah 💔

[elder flume]

just gona try to bruteforce a bit

[hidden axle]

Can you e1 ops atm? honestly doable I think with sakiko as main dps, won't be easy probably but ye doable

[elder flume]

Tfw not enough

Nyamu check

Truly a Nyamu check

right side Saki is better

Saki hits all lanes this way

just need to make sure someone is baiting and being healed so Uika Umiri doesnt die

start with Saki deploy

Nyamu early deploy helps

idk if E0 Mujica gets fever talent

ideally Mutsumi bait but think she just dies if attack spear

Nyamu can change after boss is dead or keep her there to stack fever

Steam Knight targets highest flat hp which will prob be equipment spawn so Uika Nyamu will get hit

[cinder minnow]

This as a strat is so crazy

Won’t mountain die? Mine is E1/40/SL6 (rma gated)

[elder flume]

idk

hes not important

not part of the band

[hidden axle]

If you are open to borrowing this stage becomes a lot simpler for you

Actually is solvent even needed that much I farmed solvent during big bang and sfill got 120ish left
Meanwhile I did the same for gel but it's below 50

[hidden axle]

Solvent lowest among old mats

[cinder minnow]

Oh wo

[hasty minnow]

Did the strat work for you

[cinder minnow]

yeah… maybe I shouldn’t aim to farm this. I’m poor on it, but if it’s not gonna be needed much…

[elder flume]

its a gamble

[cinder minnow]

Was looking into sanity costs and such since my nyamu ain’t raised

[elder flume]

it may be low number but if the op youre raising wants it then youre just gona have to do it

[young cairn]

Bruh literally what I'm using except it's mudrock bottom cos I'm lazy

[hidden axle]

Hoshi2 can both lane hold and get rid of the buffed up civilians

[young cairn]

[narrow orchid]

I got Mountain from my beginner banner. and the beginner guides say they are a good low-DP unit. How much exp should I put into them? Trying not to spread my resources too thin, but if they're strong I'll commit

[young cairn]

Saki top right, umiri mid right to extend range

[cinder minnow]

I believe there’s also always Wiš’adel as a last resort yeah

[young cairn]

Then saki just shoots both lanes nonstop

[hasty minnow]

The only important stuff here is saikiko and umiri. You can swap whether saikiko is top right or bottom right. You don’t have to use the other band members.

[young cairn]

Yea that's the only important part, i think having either nyamu or uika will help charge fever as an extra layer of safety

But the strategy stands

I used mudrock bottom right so i don't have to bother baiting the 2 missile mobs but yea

[hasty minnow]

This was my strat, you just need to replace the defender with whatever you want, and blaze gets replaced with ever.

[young cairn]

I like top right sakiko cos it's easier to hold without needing a lane holder there

Then on bottom you just need to place a tank that can survive the missiles last

[cinder minnow]

But the s3 to kill boss quick as possible also gets redirected to the mobs no

[hasty minnow]

I deadass did not think of that earlier tbh

[cinder minnow]

Welp. I’ll see what I can do

Ty all

[young cairn]

It'll still kill everyone cos that s3 is busted af

[hidden axle]

E1 priority for his main skill
Dunno if you were alresdy told about it but refer to pins in #help for beginner op guide

[narrow orchid]

Ye the beginner guide doesn't have a ton of details related to them outside of "good"

[hidden axle]

It's meant to be brief, most of them are just good and cheap

Gravel is a good bait

She needs e1 for base anyways

[elder flume]

you have fever to prolong skill if needed

[narrow orchid]

ye I need to do a ton of research on who opens up base abilities at e1

[elder flume]

1 S3 alr almost kills boss

triple it with fever

[prisma swift]

12-20 took me like 20 tries

am i stupid

were u supposed to bring multiple healers

[hidden axle]

Check pins in #r-i-i-c for that

No need to research common-need things like this, we have a guide for them

[narrow orchid]

Thank you! There is SO much info to digest for this game

And banners having 4+ ops at a time only and multiple banners running at once makes it more intimidating

[hidden axle]

We havd banner priority in #help pins next priority banner is silverash2/pramanix2 banner (aka next quarterly limited banner)

Tho a case can be made for orienteering banner (right after thjs event as per CN schedule) but rate-ups are subject to changes in pick-3 banners like orienteering and joint operation banners

[vernal valley]

The simply answer for that one is 3/4* get additional/upgrades at e1. Lower stars get theirs at max level and 5/6 get it at e2. Who's worthwhile koo covered

[full sluice]

this necrass unit is sick, i finally upgraded last night and its hard carrying

[pearl compass]

Nice Ass is indeed a good caster

With damage and lanehold

Shame she struggles with high RES targets cause no RES-Ignore or Shred whatsoever.

[full sluice]

my team feels a bit unfair atm lol ch9 is a lot easier than 8 was

[pearl compass]

It always happens when new Act

So first episode of it is very newbie friendly to allow farming new mats from it.

Same goes to Ep15.

[undone herald]

whats the timing for baiting Last Steam Knight's air raid attack? Is the target selected when he jumps or when the rockets are about to launch?

[elder flume]

when you hear a sound cue

its very distinct

[undone herald]

ah, guess I should unmute then

[elder flume]

like a fractured radio

[thick sphinx]

Unless u didn't build rope

[thick sphinx]

Trust me, ch 10 is a huge pain in the ass

[elder flume]

can confirm GO is still laggy

This stage is running at like 15 fps

[thick sphinx]

Trust me, try ex 8 CM, it lags like hell whenever the those robots jump in the air or the boss uses his 3 rd atk as a nuke on ur frd

[lime lantern]

really? my frame feel fine

[elder flume]

lucky then

[wheat arch]

will Steam Knight prio finishing his charge attack or triggering the takeoff

[elder flume]

charge

[wheat arch]

Hm ok

Wish i can bait his charge attack more consistently

[scarlet fulcrum]

Mine feel better actually, lag af (sometimes fc) during og event. But now np. Always used low graphic setting tho, so cant relate

[hidden axle]

lag was intentional to add some challenge to an otherwise super easy event

[vocal leaf]

an event can be easy and fun, but GO is easy and boring, i said back then it was like the dungeon meshi mechanic but half cooked, like if GO was the sketch and they left it like that

[hidden axle]

They could have atleast made the equipment pickable and let us store (not beyond current stage) and use them

mini IS

[vocal leaf]

that was exactly dungeon meshi mechanic, you pick the food and drop it on operators to buff them

[hidden axle]

wow

[vocal leaf]

the collab and GO happened right after the other, with VEC beta in between, which made me think that they indeed carried the idea to one another, but GO was left unfinished

[wheat arch]

band only GO-EX-8 CM

[vocal leaf]

the best band members are the ambusher and the bard, right?

[wheat arch]

uhh i think dollkeeper is pretty good too

nyamu is extremely mid

but yeah

uica (bard) and umiri (ambusher) are both very nice

[worn root]

Getting that timing to set up bott path was so annoying

[worn root]

Misumi has prolly the best way to charge fever as she needs to get hit

[wheat arch]

yes

she can charge up the fever in an instant

[worn root]

Combined with uika to heal her that's even more fever

[wheat arch]

for that last boss stage having her for back to back fever is kinda huge

[worn root]

She's only good for passive fever gen and fragile

Prolly the best 5 star outside the group

[wheat arch]

shes a body

thats it

[full terrace]

😂

[wheat arch]

fragile is a nice bonus

but most importantly shes a body that have immortality during fever

but yeah she's not that impressive

[worn root]

I've mostly been using uika cause supporter only

She's a lot better than I thought tbh, her healing on s2 is pretty good and the damage isn't bad either

And a buff is a buff

Haven't tried s1 yet

[wheat arch]

yeah i think she's very neat

petty significant buff

healing on skill is fine too

[steel prairie]

why are some levels stop recommending you the recommended Op levels I wonder ???

and shit not this infamous stage was this also a CC stage ? (Ik its a IS stage)

[steel vector]

GO ex 8 cm with this?

[steel prairie]

so uhh how big a dps check is this ???

[errant herald]

Hmmm how am I gonna do this..

[hexed zodiac]

Go to the website krooster and create a profile then link it here we will be able to see all the ops you have and what to work with

In the mean time watch this and see if you can mimic it https://youtu.be/TbJ4by8MCUw?si=FawCK9GJNkxAUPPm

[errant herald]

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

[errant herald]

I saw and I can't 😭

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah might not be the best video there are other videos out there

https://youtu.be/5tL1_-0P37w?si=gUSKLhIG-aUYi11-

3 op clear 😭

[errant herald]

What the fuk

I wonder if there any for sakiko

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah ulipi is kinda nuts with a mod 3 gladiia support

I would use sakiko the same way logos is being used here

[hasty minnow]

Can confirm this is possible with saikiko and low rarity ops.

[hexed zodiac]

The only problem
Is you need to borrow ulipi and have a raised gladiia for this to work

[hasty minnow]

Brodie why are you suggesting a 3 operator clear

[hexed zodiac]

I’m just looking at different examples

I’m still looking

Ok watched another one we will be boring haruka and using sakiko to finish the boss pretty brain dead

I’ll run it to see how it works

[hasty minnow]

Im pretty sure they don’t have haruka

[true stag]

do you have a proper vanguard that is not agent?

[errant herald]

Uhh

[errant herald]

Uhhh

Mrtyle

[hexed zodiac]

Done killed the boss on EX with your ops

My cuora is E1 too

[true stag]

is that mod3 saki?

[hexed zodiac]

Yes

But it was overkill

[hasty minnow]

S1M3 your Myrtle bro

[hexed zodiac]

Place Haruka first then saki then cuora then Ethan or umiri

Use skills on cooldown

And win

Retreat sakiko so you can redeploy her with the boss that comes down in the mech suit later

[errant herald]

Alr alr

Thx

I'ma try now

[hexed zodiac]

Second boss dead

Your defenders will die so I brought 3 (you can bring more)

They will rotate out when one dies and by the time the next one dies the others will come off cooldown

[errant herald]

What skill was baruka

[hexed zodiac]

S2

Use it on cooldown asap

[errant herald]

Verybcool

Damn sakiko died

[hexed zodiac]

Oh wait don’t deploy any other ops besides the first 4 until the boss in the middle is dead to sakiko

Then do as you wish

Place a second healer etc

Have your sakiko kill those hovering turrets as well before you retreat her

[hexed zodiac]

Use cuora second skill btw

And I’f this still doesn’t work it means you need the mod levels on your sakiko

Once you do then come back and complete it

[errant herald]

:D

Yeah I'm done now

Ty for the help

Time to do the medals

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah lmk when you get sakikos mods and try again, we have plenty of time

Only major difference was my sakiko was mod 3

[errant herald]

Oh I had my sakiko to module lvl2

Just leveled it up to lvl 3

[hexed zodiac]

In the squad picture you don’t have your mod equipped

[errant herald]

Now to do this

[errant herald]

Yeah I noticed why I didn't do much dmg at first

So I double check and yeah I didn't have it equipped

[hexed zodiac]

Wait so did you clear the stage?

[errant herald]

Yuh!

Already did I forgor to send earlier

[hexed zodiac]

Congrats

[errant herald]

Thx x

[full sluice]

what is this go-ex-8 stage LMAO

[hexed zodiac]

It’s easier then it looks if you have like 1 or 2 of the right ops lol

[full sluice]

I dont have many options its my first month lol

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

[hexed zodiac]

Bro 😭 link it so I can click on it through my phone please

[full sluice]

i tried like three times i cant tank the top lane

[hexed zodiac]

Easily doable

You’ll have to either m3 your S2 and mod 1 your sakiko or just borrow a better Haruka.

If you build your Haruka more we can just use ulipi, if you borrow Haruka then we just bring more defenders to rotate around

[full sluice]

i dont have materials to get them to high enough lvl to mod or I would've yeah

[plucky flint]

why would he want to m3 s2 first than s3 tho

[full sluice]

he means haruka s2 i think

not saki

[plucky flint]

"m3 your S2 and mod 1 your sakiko" this kinda confuse me ngl

[hexed zodiac]

Then borrow Haruka maxed, bring saria, surtr, nymph, ptilo, cuora, ascalon, sakiko, spot infrt

[hexed zodiac]

Mastery 3 your skill 2 and put one level in your mod for Haruka

Idk if that sounded better

[plucky flint]

yes it is

[full sluice]

anyway most of the upgrade mats i need are still locked behind further chapters and stuff anyway

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah just follow what I said and bring that squad

[hexed zodiac]

@full sluice follow what I did here but place ascalon down where umiri was

[thick sphinx]

When I did it a bit back it hurt lol

[full sluice]

I did it, ty for advice, just bringing more tanks and prio my top side with haruka instead of the mylnar borrow worked better

my saki didnt do enough dmg to cover bot lane like mylnar did

[hexed zodiac]

Oh it was a damage issue

Ok so sakiko needs mod and masteries to make it work got it

[full sluice]

got chally mode too, not really any diff tbh

[thick sphinx]

It's not
Just kill Theresa before your ops get stunned and ur peachy

Watch a vid

[analog fern]

Transport Vessels... How the hell do you fight them?

[thick sphinx]

What were those again?

[analog fern]

Introduced in GO-4

Flying unit

Triple hits on attack, stuns nearby units and drops gear on death

[thick sphinx]

Oh those thingis

They're easy to deal with if u hv dps, or just use krooz and keep shooting them multiple times

[analog fern]

I know it says low DEF but damn, seems like you gotta invest a lot of time into taking them out

[thick sphinx]

Watch eckogen's guides

[thick sphinx]

Yes you do

[nocturne cove]

@torn panther if you dont got ethan

just throw in a bunch of random ops

borrow exu2

https://youtu.be/vkB753zYjcg?si=0ckGVWbC5G-Pk5DR

[torn panther]

is a E1 lvl 80 s7 exu good enough 😭 im on rr cd and its pain

[nocturne cove]

no she isnt enough

[hexed zodiac]

You should’ve never leveled base exu that much(at all really)

She’s a bum

[nocturne cove]

thats why you add someone with her as support

you mean og exu???

nah dawg she aint dealing shit

[hexed zodiac]

actually yeah you mean exu or exu the new covenant?

I’m assuming he’s borrowing exu2 bc he has neither from his previous posts

Don’t know why it’s E1

[torn panther]

yeah i dont have e2 im borrowing

[hexed zodiac]

Only reason your borrowed Exu2 is E1 is you don’t have a single E2 unit in your squad

[nocturne cove]

he was borrowing wisadel

[hexed zodiac]

Once you put a E2 unit in your squad your borrowed units will be E2 as well

[torn panther]

I have 3 e2's\

[hexed zodiac]

Then wtf is this about?

?????

[nocturne cove]

he canr borrow

or refresh

basically

[torn panther]

you can still find e1s with e2s in squad ig 😭

[hexed zodiac]

Ohhh

Do you need someone with E2 exu2? You can borrow mine it’s maxed

[nocturne cove]

yay

add killari

[hexed zodiac]

What’s your friend code

[elder flume]

Surely your refresh button doesnt hit 10 mins cd right

[hexed zodiac]

Borrowing non friend Exu2 means no masteries 🥀

[torn panther]

if possible yeah 😭

It’s also pot 6 so it’s as good as it’ll get

[mystic hazel]

Any tips for this guy? He insta kill my ops but Is my goal to kill him asap or is there another type of trick I can use?

[hexed zodiac]

What’s your krooster again?

[mystic hazel]

https://www.krooster.com/u/right-quartz-arene-1846

[hexed zodiac]

https://youtu.be/yXSWdExd_EY?si=6gDjPalQHOZ27iJQ
3 op clear

[mystic hazel]

insane stuff, this just makes me realize how bad im at this game 😭

[hexed zodiac]

Nah it’s more like the ops do all the carrying, he isn’t doing anything complicated don’t worry

Give me a second here with your squad

[hexed zodiac]

do you want to auto the stage or just complete it

the mat isnt that important

auto will be harder

[mystic hazel]

Is fine either way

[hexed zodiac]

ok

[mystic hazel]

Im not farming this event haha

I rather do past events

Im just getting the old lady max pot

and the op

[hexed zodiac]

ok its pretty easy with you squad

@mystic hazel

This is the squad I used based on your ops

I suggest putting at least 30 cheap levels on hoshi2 and your sakiko

First deploy your Myrtle or ely in the bottom right then hoshi2 on this tile

Use his skill as soon as you see the lion spawn behind you

[pearl compass]

Kill him ASAP, because if you not, he just taptap with his stuff and thus will instakill you.

You're on timer.

[hexed zodiac]

Now here’s the "tricky" part you want to to place spot and he will die

He will die to a targeting mechanic

Once that’s over place both healers like you see here

Then place sakiko and surtr down

Have both healers use their skills and sakiko and surtr at the same time

Your whole team will stay alive while sakiko and surtr kill the boss before any of the healing runs out

Then do the stage however you want from there

Don’t forget the thorns placement here as well

If this still is too hard then borrow exu2 and have her solo the boss

[mystic hazel]

You are insaneeee

It worked!!

[hexed zodiac]

didnt you do the Ex stage first which was harder lol

maybe someone else?

[mystic hazel]

nah Im about to try the Ex stages haha

[hexed zodiac]

ah gacha yeah you should be able to do it a lot easier then the people above you

[mystic hazel]

I might aswell watch a couple of guide for my operators I feel like I lack understanding of their roles

[hexed zodiac]

you have decent enough ops and they are built

[hexed zodiac]

i just brute forced you through that stage. If you have strong enough ops you can ignore stage mechanics. might be good for you if you learn the EX stage 8 mechanics. youll learn a lot

[mystic hazel]

I'll keep it in mind

tyy

Can I add you in the game?

[hexed zodiac]

sure whats your friend code

[errant herald]

What

What do u mean changed position

[next wigeon]

Tbh

You could just have used Lappland and be over with it

The boss can be silenced to oblivion

[next wigeon]

They'll spawn differently compared to their normal mode counterpart

[errant herald]

I'm cooked ik just brute forcing this shit with Wis xd

[next wigeon]

The boss isn't too bad

Minus The Last Steam Knight

[hexed zodiac]

meh

end result is a clear without borrow ill take the win

[errant herald]

I wonder how to do it

[next wigeon]

Target the Last Steam Knight first or tank it with 3 medics

[hexed zodiac]

tanking it with three medics, is typically more straight forward

[pearl compass]

Isn't he can oneshot through skill until you rotate 4 defenders?

[next wigeon]

Cuora can tank the bullet rain

[pearl compass]

I'm about the STRONG MEGAPUNCH.

With 2000 x 3 Phys Damage.

[elder flume]

inb4 wrong target bait

[pearl compass]

Cuora E2 could survive alr
He does have her E2?

[hasty minnow]

Im getting diffed by the holographic combat matrix is it just me?

[nocturne cove]

@next wigeon woah

once in a blue moon appearance

[next wigeon]

Hmmm?

I do visit still

[next wigeon]

Nope

[nocturne cove]

hmm, maybe im irregular

[next wigeon]

Matrix is basically just old CC but with normal stages

[hasty minnow]

I can’t beat any of the four stages. I’m not even close really

[errant herald]

Phew

I thought of smthn and it worked xd

[hasty minnow]

Yeah wisadel

[errant herald]

Also I'm doing challenge

[errant herald]

No even with wisadel it wouldn't work

[elder flume]

Texas stun alone isnt enough before Surtr comes online

[errant herald]

She isn't able to target the top left hovering thing

I had to wait for the hovers to move in the middle so they switch, once they're in the middle I put sakiko on to left to target it and kill it with here skill3

[errant herald]

Idk what that means

[elder flume]

solo clears

[errant herald]

Excuse me what

[errant herald]

Ey man idk that was in the first place can't blame me

[elder flume]

that CM is fun

makes people think how to deploy order

[errant herald]

Might be cooked with mine

[errant herald]

What website is this

[elder flume]

arkrec

[pearl compass]

Ez. It's just makes whole battle simpler.

You can bring Mlynar and he's fucking cooked.

[errant herald]

But

Ok uh

Here my shit

[pearl compass]

[errant herald]

Help me guys :3

[pearl compass]

If lack any ops

[hasty minnow]

I can confirm that you should have borrowed exu alt instead

[errant herald]

It's fine now I've finished it xd

Just need to do go-ex-8

[tall sierra]

Boss got melted by sakiko

[hidden axle]

Boss is a joke indeed

[azure roost]

usual

even at first run of event

boss just exist

[hidden axle]

What were they thinking single phase, no cc immunity and not even a statstick

[elder flume]

he fits year 2 boss

in 3 hours i can prob do EX 8 without any gear box broken

but has no dps for drone

[azure roost]

drone usually problem in this event

drone damage is

[tall sierra]

Yea

The drone one shot my bard ops

[azure roost]

its 3x per hit i think

[limpid ore]

it is

armed supply drone

[azure roost]

[elder flume]

if i cope Ptiloless i might be able to sub in Hoshi2 to take care of boss and drone

[brisk surge]

Hole the drone rain

[azure roost]

imma do ex stages 7 cm and 8nm/cm at my rarely taken acc lol

[elder flume]

you wish

[azure roost]

lol

[elder flume]

couldnt even hole balloon in Ave even tho theyre shiftable

had to do 4k barrier break with Cliff mod

[brisk surge]

Incredible

[limpid ore]

ig low-altittude hovering has no shift immunity

unlike aerial enemies

-# yes, i've used hookers on CA-5 before

[glass monolith]

I found that by accident when Gladiia pulled poison fog SSS boss

[elder flume]

low altitude has unbalance immune

just that some are exception

[glass monolith]

Reason to love HG, each event feels like done by new coder instead boring copy paster of existing shit

Like in icebreaker games event "player 2" dolls from dollkeeper not capturing TW towers

[azure roost]

[azure roost]

hope other gacha learn from this

[errant herald]

Can anyone help me with this

[stray oriole]

whats your main squad for reference

or well the squad you're gonna use

oh ill also ask whether or not you're fine with using support units

[hidden axle]

It's ex stage, support is a given if they can't clear it with reasonable ease with their roster

[stray oriole]

i mean you never know, maybe they want to clear it without support
otherwise yeah fair point

[rotund forum]

wouldn't raidian be good for this stage?

[stray oriole]

i mean yeah but do they have raidian upped?

[hidden axle]

No reason to be adamant about not using support om a stage you won't be farming apart from pride but it do be possible

[rotund forum]

Oh youre right, not even e1

[hidden axle]

e0 lvl 36 🥀 wtf bro

[stray oriole]

lmao

its fine, they havent done is6 yet

[hidden axle]

Can atleast get her to e1

[stray oriole]

considering everything!

[rotund forum]

I hate is6

[stray oriole]

that's true though

[rotund forum]

I forgot mizuki doesnt function until I promote him

[hidden axle]

actually now that I look at their roster again they can e2 her as well anyways back to problem stage

[stray oriole]

yow, what's your main squad so we can think of placements

you might gotta grab a support unit, maybe Wis'adel 😨 or something

[hidden axle]

Erm no need for their main squad, we just recommend a squad to clear the stage they can give their preferences (if any) after we give them a working squad

[errant herald]

Had to use this with the help of Wis on cm ex-7

Sry I was riding out on a motor

[stray oriole]

might as well use wis yeah

i would replace someone there with myrtle (you're gonna need quick DP) but im unsure who to replace

[hidden axle]

Two healing defenders and an aoe medic is overkill, kick spot
Then again I don't see how dp can be an issue with ines

[stray oriole]

i mean true tbh he COULD just place ines in the middle and use s2

from a safe distance

[elder flume]

what is a safe distance

its really a Gravel bait check

[hidden axle]

Covid distancing jokes apart prolly drone

I couldn't play past ex-6 cuz gpg decided to fuck me and say go reinstall the game

so I wouldn't knoe how ex8 is

[elder flume]

idk if insta S2 Ines even avoids gear drop

[errant herald]

[stray oriole]

im still watching a video on it

my sanity is all gone on GO-7 so lmao

[elder flume]

tldr boss has map range

[stray oriole]

Oh.

Oh.

well that complicates things

[hidden axle]

But boss is very easy

[elder flume]

if you can burst sure

its only hard for the start

[stray oriole]

he only has like... 2-3 burst operators tbh

[errant herald]

Someone said to mylnar it

[stray oriole]

including support wis'adel

[hidden axle]

Does ex8 prevent burst?

[hidden axle]

Sakiko is alone enoygh

[hidden axle]

Yeah mlynar deletes him from the database

[stray oriole]

oh yeahhh she does deal a crap ton

[elder flume]

no you just wouldnt drop vanguard first since they die to 1.5k gear drop + 2k attack spear

usually

[errant herald]

Currently sakiko is s3m3 module lvl3

[elder flume]

Mlynar is there to ignore aggro so your other ops survive

[errant herald]

😭

[stray oriole]

in that case you can just grab a mlynar

sakiko deals plenty of dmg

[hidden axle]

I have a mlynar if you want but need to wait for reinstall to finish

Also yeah sakiko should be enough for the boss

[errant herald]

Hmm

Haruka?

[hidden axle]

Yk that she heals right

[stray oriole]

she'd die before she gets her S2 on unli duration

or well her s3 takes a looong while to recharge after use

[errant herald]

What I use on the normal ex-8

With the help of haruka

[hidden axle]

S3 is helidrop with masteries

[errant herald]

Oof

Well

Ergh

Hmmm

[stray oriole]

keep ines on there

[errant herald]

So how should I do it with mylnar?

I'll just replace steward cause

[stray oriole]

you would most probably place ines then mlynar afterwards

[stray oriole]

who'd you replace steward with

[craggy heron]

ngl at that level the band wont help sakiko much beside providing extra range

[stray oriole]

ines can tank One hit i'm sure!

so far im thinking of this

[errant herald]

Cuora

[stray oriole]

fair 'nough

[errant herald]

What about for the base?

[stray oriole]

any of the defenders really

or you could even place sakiko there

its really just dealing with alistair at the start

[hidden axle]

Alternatively can borrow hoshi2 who should takr care of everything else while sakiko deals with the boss

[azure roost]

[stray oriole]

oh yeah true she IS really tanky..

[hidden axle]

penance also works but need to set her up

Oh yeah hoshi2 can deal eith the boss too probs can't solo the map tho

[stray oriole]

assuming the 3 enemies in front of the boss DONT attack operators directly in front of them you could place either sash or sakiko closer, assuming u'd still use mlynar

but i personally think hoshi2 is better

[errant herald]

Hm

So uh

[hidden axle]

I'll keep up both for support if you need

[stray oriole]

^^

[hidden axle]

Or if yiu have friends with mlynar and hoshi2 that works asw

[stray oriole]

let me just take a hot minute to like.. think of placements if ur still unsure of what to do

otherwise you can probably just let mlynar schwing from there and then just defend the upper and lower halves of the map

[stray oriole]

Okay well

YEAH!!

[errant herald]

Wait does she have a module?

[hidden axle]

She gets her first module in sa2 event

[errant herald]

Won't mylnar die?

[errant herald]

Oh

Ok

[stray oriole]

mlynar's pretty tanky i'd tell you that much

[errant herald]

:0

[stray oriole]

assuming you place here

[hidden axle]

Can give him a medic if he needs iy

[elder flume]

he dies in 3 hits which should prob be plenty

[errant herald]

So hoshi or uh mylar

[stray oriole]

depends but u alr have a support hoshi so i'd say hoshi

this is literally my only idea for her

drop, pop s3

[errant herald]

So her first?

[stray oriole]

or you could place ines in front of the machine, s2, then helidrop hoshi

[stray oriole]

it depends, you can start experimenting

u dont lose sanity when losing anyway

[errant herald]

Aight

Hmmm

Ah

The boss really have full range of the damn map

[stray oriole]

yeah lol

[hidden axle]

Hoshi2 died already?

[elder flume]

drone is 1140 x 3 so

1296 Alistair

[stray oriole]

yeah thats pretty... that hurts tbh

[errant herald]

The drone was at the top part

So I have to move it down

Then it died

What does hoshi alter do?

[plucky flint]

how about u drop hoshi at the bottom of the middle high ground tile instead, so drone wont hit her

[stray oriole]

think thats the right call

[errant herald]

Does he like

[stray oriole]

you're gonna need someone to kill the drone from a distance

like say Sakiko

[errant herald]

Yeah did that,

Hmm alr

[stray oriole]

u can use this as basis

but you move hoshi2 and ptilopsis down

silverash COULD have better placements though..

id suggest putting a defender on the bottom side, preferrably where ptilopsis reaches

then a dps to support

[errant herald]

Wait fuck the damn goons

They got into the hlbase

[stray oriole]

rip

just a matter of trial n error

u got this

[plucky flint]

how about u use sakiko to burst the middle mobs too, instead of laneholding kinda waste of potential if she has s3m3

[stray oriole]

also works, im concerned about the drone reaching her AND alistair killing her however

she is pretty glassy

[errant herald]

Wait the drone already moved out when I place sakiko so won't be able to kill the dron ontop, need to kill on the bottom

[plucky flint]

then deploy her after the drone moves

[stray oriole]

Fair

[plucky flint]

bait the boss' attacks, he has global range

[errant herald]

Oops didn't see the messages

[plucky flint]

you bring 12 ops for that purposes, 13 even

[elder flume]

I just do this as a basis

[worn root]

Expanded range*

[plucky flint]

fair

[worn root]

Dunno why they didn't give it global range in the first place

[stray oriole]

Ooh yeaah that works too

[elder flume]

hes only 17 range

3.4 range was neat for GO 9

makes you think where to put

[worn root]

Bro doesn't even have adult range

[worn root]

It took me a long time to get the timing right to clear go-9 with 5*supporters cause I needed to get the timing right for when he does the crate drop nuke

[errant herald]

Ok I got some progress

I just need some tank shits xd

And some healers but it works

[plucky flint]

wait why is that the non cm stage

[worn root]

[errant herald]

Was it?

[elder flume]

3 hp

[errant herald]

Oh true

Lemme try again

Man this is making me lose my mind

The fucking armor shits

[elder flume]

unironically Ines S1 prob couldve perma stalled them

[worn root]

S1?

[elder flume]

to trigger tremble ye

[worn root]

Oh yeh

[limpid ore]

[worn root]

You need to get arts crate in the first place though

[limpid ore]

it inflicts Frighten?

[elder flume]

rng is ez

surely

[worn root]

Ez, but hell

[elder flume]

Phase 1 done

[errant herald]

Aghhh what to doo

[limpid ore]

oh the equipment

[errant herald]

Idk how to stall these armors

[limpid ore]

afaik og hoshiguma with shining was enough back then in chapter 11

we have better option now

[errant herald]

I could kill the boss, but the armor cant

Xd

[limpid ore]

the black steam knight was chapter 11 boss

actual boss boss

not some misery of the dead king is

[elder flume]

Just pray for this

low sp cost skills prosper

[glass monolith]

Happy La Pluma sounds

[elder flume]

Humus is most popular due to multitarget

[rotund forum]

Are we even playing the same game

[glass monolith]

He is playing cheese factory

[errant herald]

I give up for now

[elder flume]

Gear box is 7.5k hp so redirect it with a higher hp op

[unkempt meteor]

Haruka and hoshi2 both needed, cuz the steam knight gonna nuke often on second phase and idk if other healer can match her power

[errant herald]

Yeah they can't xd

[worn root]

Their haruka is at e1 iirc

So she might just die to missile barrage

[elder flume]

Hoshi2 is highest hp ?

she wants low hp so easier to bait missile

[unkempt meteor]

Which hoshi skill did you use?

[worn root]

Wait, how does the missiles work again?

[exotic grove]

I have modless haruka and hoshialt e2lv1 and even then hoshialt died to steam knight
had to supplement with another healer

[elder flume]

target current highest hp

[worn root]

Haruka might be able to tank some strays ig

[elder flume]

at worst just do a Vina

[plucky flint]

missiles are weaker at phase 2 right?

[elder flume]

surround the missile range so everyone shares the hit

[unkempt meteor]

Both should maxed out imo, i did tried half-cooked haruka and it didn't work properly

[exotic grove]

yea exactly

[errant herald]

The 3rd

[errant herald]

3rd

[unkempt meteor]

Try her 1st skill instead

Cycling her S3 is hard against steam knights that often dodging

[worn root]

How are they gonna kill the boss though?

As in the mf that sits there

[unkempt meteor]

https://youtu.be/UD76AXMEmic?si=7l4615y51Hbm-Ygj

[errant herald]

My sakiko skill 3 ain't even charged up yet and she got killed instantly

I can't use both haruka and hoshi sadly :( I don't have either of them

[worn root]

Is your cuora e2?

[unkempt meteor]

you should be fine with normal healer

[worn root]

Depends on how strong they are

[errant herald]

I'm cooked

Lemme share my krooster thing for a sec

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

[thick sphinx]

U could do it tbh

U just need to borrow a wisadel maybe

I used sa and sakiko to clear too

But instead of haruka u need ALOT of healers

[exotic grove]

probably won't work if they get mogged instantly
oh yea if u bait then should be ok

[thick sphinx]

That's why I use fast redeploys

Use fast redeploys.
The boss hits his nuke every 3 hits.
So after two hits, deploy gravel and let her take the nuke. Place wisadel as the second operator after a flag bearer,

Flag bearer gets hit once
The wisadel summon
Then deploy haruka and very quickly deploy gravel away from the ops, u need to pay attention to the boss for that.

Place wisadel in the ranged tiles exactly infront of the boss, in 2 skill activation wis demolished.

Make sure the objective point has alot of dps and healers waiting, they just need to survive long enough to redeploy wisadel and start nuking.

Towards the end there will be drone, but if u did everything correctly wis will get her skill back up and u win

This works for challenge mode as well.
@errant herald

[worn root]

I just used tragodia's cat

[elder flume]

low sp cost skills just mogs

[errant herald]

[exotic grove]

that's worse than manually clicking myrtles in annihilation

[errant herald]

Man my mind going static

[exotic grove]

yo holy u could put pinecone s1 on that

[azure roost]

[thick sphinx]

I mean meh

Wait is this normal one?

I was talking about the ex one

Damn mb

[worn root]

He was like my only dps vs that boss

[thick sphinx]

She doesn't have trag tho, and wis is dps that she needs

[thick sphinx]

Lmao

I don't have trag 😢

So I used wis tactic lol

[worn root]

I died to timer at times though

[thick sphinx]

That happened to me once

Cuz I placed wis at the wrong spot tried to redeploy her twice

[elder flume]

https://youtu.be/r4iR7g4yYIw?si=dhkdJm5DIrr05oGQ

[errant herald]

Pinecone

[frigid heart]

Can someone tell me why i only have two drones in go ex 7

[errant herald]

Oh

[errant herald]

U want it to be challenge mode?

[elder flume]

because it is 2 ?

[exotic grove]

how does that work

[frigid heart]

Oh shit

Mb

[elder flume]

stun slug when cooked makes it so your ops autouse skills and every time your ops finish their skill duration they tp

Cutter uses skill and also ends their skill

game thinks they used their skill

game tp Cutter

repeat

took like 1 hour of micro

and auto just turns it into 7 mins

[azure roost]

@elder flume

rarely played acc brainrot

[errant herald]

I'll stop doing cm ex-8 making me go mad xd

[azure roost]

grab wis

ye weird looking medic

[elder flume]

[errant herald]

Much uh

:(

[faint scaffold]

is pramanix good?

[full stream]

Garbage if the normal version

[faint scaffold]

it is

[full stream]

Yeah don't use her

[faint scaffold]

okay

[worn root]

go-9 with 5* supporters was worse than this stage

[faint scaffold]

should i summon on the new banner?

[worn root]

The vina banner?

[full stream]

She sucks

[faint scaffold]

idk havent check

[full stream]

Long downtime and mid damage

🚬

[faint scaffold]

i see

[worn root]

Vina is a rerun character

[full stream]

Save for silverash alter banner

Should be in april

[faint scaffold]

okay

is the event worth?

[full stream]

Yes

[faint scaffold]

bet

[full stream]

Get currency from clearing stages then clear shop and u can farm the t3 from the event

[faint scaffold]

whats t3?

[full stream]

The best would be blue Gel from GO-8

T3=tier 3 materials

[faint scaffold]

ahh

[errant herald]

yall should

[errant herald]

ah shit i need to clear that without support units

lemm try]

for a second

[hidden axle]

Bring gravel to bait/wait for enough dp generation to place medic and whatevee you wsnt to place along with it

[errant herald]

Too hard for me lel

[alpine nebula]

is there a supp that can cheese ex 8

[hidden axle]

Wisadel should work like always

[errant herald]

wisadel

or just haruka if u have sakiko

[alpine nebula]

how do i do this

[main halo]

Does feel nice to go back to the basics

[errant herald]

That's cool

[errant herald]

Wym?

[alpine nebula]

i dunno how to use haruka, which skill do i run?

[main halo]

So bro doesn't have a 2nd phase

Good to know

[glass monolith]

You place Haruka. You use S2. You use S2 again. You forget about her. If something within her range managed to die then consider not tanking that damage

[glass monolith]

No phase 2. Outranged by besiegers. Mega fraud

[weak gazelle]

yeah
its been a while for besieger to shine:ya:

[main halo]

Not even immune to stun either

I wonder if silence would work on bro since the description doesn't say immue to silence

[glass monolith]

Because HG don't bother to make things immune to silence, they basically put tag on abilities if they are disabled or not by it

[main halo]

Aye I forgot about that

If silence does anything, it would have the symbol on it

[glass monolith]

And on OG release boss ability to fail stage was silenceable, don't know if rerun still has that bug

[main halo]

Bro can't even kill Gladiia who isn't even doped by AH gang

Low rarity run should be piss easy

Both the boss and the robot are washed

Gladiia stood till the end

[steel vector]

why's the boss on go ex 8 always targeting my logos

isnt the target the recent deployed

[main halo]

Weird

[steel vector]

this is my team

i deploy logos on the middle

[hidden axle]

Not immune yo silence either
Same for sleep

Thry had to add last steam knight in ex version to make it feel like an ex stage

[steel vector]

most of them are just emergency, i don't use them all

[tender orbit]

CM Alistair has global range

[weak gazelle]

highest flat hp iirc for boss targetting
i might be wrong tho

[main halo]

Yeah

[tender orbit]

Regular doesn't so

[main halo]

It's been forever since I last seen steam knight

[steel vector]

yes cm

[tender orbit]

Oh huh

[hidden axle]

Good boss design ngl, love how he wastes your skill time by dipping at 50% threshold

[main halo]

[tender orbit]

Fucking rng sword crate targetting my ranged

[steel vector]

the sword crate is only buff for the enemis istg

we don't even get near them most of the time

[astral cosmos]

boss design so good some Protector defenders can't tank him but a hairstylist with a brush tanks him easily

[steel vector]

i wish i started the game earlier man i want ulpi

[main halo]

Almost 6 minutes to beat

Isn't it plenty of time?

[tender orbit]

<Can be Silenced>

[hidden axle]

I need to replay GO-8 manually for medal now they really made a medal to beg mercy for the boss

[tender orbit]

[astral cosmos]

simply make it 30 minutes
lock in Lappland on him and he can't do shit

[tender orbit]

Which ops silence without dealing damage

[astral cosmos]

Blitz

[hidden axle]

Cope for pick 3 banner after sa2 event to stay the same

[main halo]

I mean LappLand S1 can't even make a dent on him

Closest you've got

[astral cosmos]

well blitz doesn't do dmg when silencing but his cycle is too ass + limited to 4 uses

[tender orbit]

5% minim damage

[astral cosmos]

i've tried cycling ash + blitz + sleep ops like sora/kafka

[hidden axle]

Jaye s1 also doesn't make a dent

[main halo]

Yep

[hidden axle]

Texas2 s1 asw ig

[tender orbit]

Wait what if we pass 350 seconds while silenced

[astral cosmos]

he keeps existing

[tender orbit]

And then stopped silencing

So it only like happens once?

[astral cosmos]

he explodes and you die

[tender orbit]

Oh

[main halo]

[tender orbit]

:144p:

[astral cosmos]

no you have to keep suppressing him
the moment you stop he kicks your ass

which is why lappland is ideal

[tender orbit]

Shield tanks 5k damage right

[astral cosmos]

u can cycle between all those ops to suppress him

glhf

[tender orbit]

Is it enough for Lapp with -70 aspd for 25s

[astral cosmos]

oh wait there's cn here too

[hidden axle]

Convistion fans will finally have a W

[plucky flint]

can't u just use Jay there

[main halo]

Bro isn't even that tanky 🥀

Low res

[astral cosmos]

ok but wouldn't it be mad funny to have tsukinogi solo dps him

[main halo]

[astral cosmos]

(i have done that)

[tender orbit]

Ak should add total dmg chart

[maiden hound]

this is alistair right

[plucky flint]

seems impossible but is there a madman who tried to clear main story using ops from the story itself?

[tender orbit]

After stages

[astral cosmos]

not sure to what extent this is possible
some hellstages might not be considering the limited amount of ops you have

idk though sounds fire

[tender orbit]

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEtniZMFppES-MdPG2t13URMDb4Ed7b6

[main halo]

You mean the glaslow gang?

[astral cosmos]

i had one project in mind consisting in clearing the entirety of the main story by using all operators, but only once

[plucky flint]

Just the story only, not including H stages, but ye I don't think amiya and chen1 can beat dbs

[plucky flint]

starting from chapter 1

[tender orbit]

Revenant

[maiden hound]

what if # of stages exceed # of ops

do you just die

[astral cosmos]

ah yeah makes sense, seems possible
hellstages though

[main halo]

[astral cosmos]

i die

[main halo]

Yeesh

Canon gameplay ig

[astral cosmos]

but operators get released more often than story stages

[maiden hound]

well at least you can beat that cs stage opless :ya:

[astral cosmos]

[tender orbit]

Let's see

Ts does not show which stages are cutscenes

[weak gazelle]

it seem possible to me yeah
but for one me didnt want to do that
(using storyknights)

[astral cosmos]

i wish badknights could clear story

[main halo]

Imagine using Dobermann

[hidden axle]

Rechord do you have your 5 star tierlist saved

[scarlet fulcrum]

There is already famous interlock clear on CN, not enough ops

[main halo]

Storyknights you said

[plucky flint]

imagine using frostleaf vs frostnova

[hidden axle]

[astral cosmos]

should be easy considering she's stallable

[weak gazelle]

a true doctor will win it :ya:

[astral cosmos]

uh maybe lemme check
not too fond of tierlists for general 5* though so i might only have one for like badknights or sth

[hidden axle]

I want to look at the niche ones

[astral cosmos]

ok the only one i found is the smash or pass one

[hidden axle]

[weak gazelle]

thats why stop using badknights :pepelaugh:
use slightlybadknights instead

[hidden axle]

[astral cosmos]

ok gimme a moment

[tender orbit]

Who are part of Worstknights

[astral cosmos]

oh wait i made this one last year

some positions had been contested by shileds max etc

[hidden axle]

many thanks

[astral cosmos]

i think i ended up shilling coldshot too hard

[hidden axle]

I hope it wasn't due to her being a milf

[astral cosmos]

no i was biased by IS 🥹

[hidden axle]

[weak gazelle]

provence should be on top tier🚬

that one lady who casually beat elite and boss like its nothing

[astral cosmos]

unironically my angle on provence might have changed after i saw her one cycle Kinbee
but she's still too clunky to use

[weak gazelle]

and funny enough her mod is best suited for her

[astral cosmos]

@hidden axle found the convo when i first posted it, check it out #strategy message

[hidden axle]

yeah that was tbe convo I had in mind when I asked for the tierlist

[main halo]

No sense in buying these since I didn't get to play the OG

[astral cosmos]

yep

[main halo]

[hidden axle]

You can farm mango/kohl while farming gel 1+1 deal

[main halo]

True

[hexed zodiac]

If plan to use Cathrine tho (idk why) you should get the pots

[mental venture]

how do i do county hillock
im not bringing wisadel

specifically the tops guys are a problem

[main halo]

The anni eh?

Man it's been so long since I ever looked at that one

[hidden axle]

What does county hillock consist of again

Ch 9 enemies?
