strategy

[main halo]

It's been years

Yeah ch9

Mandra included

I recall beating that anni with less stacked team than that

[mental venture]

shitload of ranged guys at top and basically harmless enemies at the bottom

[main halo]

Level up your SA

Or use Chalter

She's tough enough to tank the shots

I recall killing them with Pinecone too

[hidden axle]

This looks so mlynar-able

[main halo]

Did we even have Mlynar back then?

[hidden axle]

No we didnt

I remember my noobass struggling with ops 100 foot away from meta

And when I got mlynar I was stacked asf for that time

[thick sphinx]

Wait, there was a time when mlynar was top 1? Isn't he still top three right now?

[foggy grove]

no people just spawncamp with thorns/blaze

ez map

[hidden axle]

Mlynar isn't top 3 tho he may have been top 1 on release idr

[rustic matrix]

Boss on GO-EX 8 can make us lose early ? Somehow I lose despite there is no leak.

[glass monolith]

#strategy message We had Tequila

[thick sphinx]

Yea

There's a time limit

After the robots are desd

He end you

So u need to finish the fight before the robots r drad

Dps that boss and redeploy as fast as u can

[sage flint]

oh lord this map looks sooo goood

only 1 centered entry point is goated

might try using the avemujicas here

anni 9 right?

[glass monolith]

Nah 9 is R6 collab, this should be like 12 or so

[hexed zodiac]

Until you realize all the enemies fireballs are concentrated at one point

[thick sphinx]

Ikr, just put all ur best guards and defenders with haruka and wis 💀

[sage flint]

ooh okay

[sage flint]

ooh interesting mechanic

i'll see to this later

[thick sphinx]

WhaaaT?

[sage flint]

i don't have haruka nor wis'adel

[glass monolith]

Slap Tequila/Mlynar/Dollkeeper/Ambusher ass in middle and 1 medic and drink tea

Also this stage has Ulp + Gladiia duo clear

[hidden axle]

Hi I am koo I hunt clue slaves I feed them haruka support in return

I heard someone doesn't have haruka

[foggy grove]

fireball = arts
hoshi = arts defender

🤯

[hidden axle]

I have hoshi2 asw to feed

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah but for newbies they don’t have those ops

That’s why they are in this channel

[errant herald]

3 left

But I can't fuckin beat go-ex-8 cm raghhh

Time to sleep

[hexed zodiac]

Link krooster

[hidden axle]

Bro I told you use gravel to bait/wait out until you have enough dp to deploy a medic alongaide the op you want to deploy

[hidden axle]

E2 sakiko e2 tequila e2 silverass at s3m1

Think those are the onky relevant ops

[errant herald]

Ah, I forgor, was busy doing my work immersion shits

Just came back to arknights

[hexed zodiac]

So sakiko can do a lot here yeah, tequila meh. We either borrow ele heal eyj alter or haruka

[hidden axle]

Tequila for alistair

Actually

Who takes care of steam knight in this roster

Oh well they did it on normal

[hexed zodiac]

Oh wait lmfao

I though we were still talking about annihilation

I’m tabbing back and fourth from work

[main halo]

Skill issues /j

[errant herald]

Nah we doing cm ex-8 xd

[hexed zodiac]

Haruka really trivializes the stage you can def do it

[thick sphinx]

Ah shit

[thick sphinx]

Lmfao

[errant herald]

Fr tho?

Wait a minute

[hexed zodiac]

Link your krooster

[errant herald]

U the person who helped me earlier

On the normal ex

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

[hexed zodiac]

Looks like you raised your sakiko more great

Mod lvl3 is preferred by I think we can do without it

[errant herald]

Oh yeah it's on module 3 now

Just krooster not updated

Lemme update it wait

[hexed zodiac]

Your team will be sakiko, Ethan, ptilo, silver, eyj, spot, saria, Ines, umiri, silence, cuora, and noir with Haruka borrow

[errant herald]

Oh noir?

[hexed zodiac]

You just need a warm body for fodder just in case

[errant herald]

Alr what to do

[hexed zodiac]

I’m doing it now with your units hold on

[errant herald]

:0

Ok

[hexed zodiac]

It’s not fun, it’s tough to pull off

Lots of rng

I’ll have to look at other methods bc this was convoluted to do right

But I hav to go back to work now

[mental venture]

how do i try and protect my guys from fucking dying to the guys at the top every cliff unit i have lacks range
and im not using borrows

[mental venture]

county hilock btw

[hexed zodiac]

Are they dying to ele damage proc or just simply dying

[mental venture]

simply dying to rangers

[hexed zodiac]

Did you place a defender last so it draws aggro?

last op deployed draws aggro

[mental venture]

i dont think i can draw aggro on a unit whose range is a 3x3

[hexed zodiac]

Wut

What unit are you dying to

Look at the stage info and click on the unit info

Tell me which one

[mental venture]

this one specifically

[hazy ice]

guys i have a question ,
i played alot of is6
and didnt find ling encounter that need lose 50 ingots
is there any way to find it ?

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah so like place healer first then defender, the ranged enemies will attack your defender and your healer can safely heal him

[blazing wharf]

need help. doing final boss of the seige event, i tried putting down logos then gladia to bait his initial attack but the boss always just goes for the first operator, am i doing something wrong?

[elder flume]

wtf ingame desc doesnt tell he targets highest hp ?

[blazing wharf]

oh really?

it doesn't say

[hexed zodiac]

Do you have ulipi? Why use gladiia

[elder flume]

:icant:

normal attack is last deployed within range

gear drop is highest hp

[blazing wharf]

ah

[hexed zodiac]

Gear drop should be targeting you ulipi that’s why I’m confused

[blazing wharf]

i do have, but idk, i thought putting down gladia then ulipi was a smart idea, apparently not 🙁

im just a dumb dumb

[elder flume]

common game L

[blazing wharf]

[hexed zodiac]

That duo should trivialize the stage now that you know what to do

[blazing wharf]

kk ima try

[hexed zodiac]

https://youtu.be/5tL1_-0P37w?si=YXhgGObp8IgXyfwx

3 op ulipi logos and gladiia clear

[sonic willow]

And this is why gladiia gets glazed so much

[hexed zodiac]

Are you willing to E2 and mod3 an op you use every 6 months?

[elder flume]

what if i use them every 2 stages

[blazing wharf]

dude i think im high, i put down ulipi first the boss just doent do anything...

fyi im playing on normal

[elder flume]

in range ?

hes 3.4 range

[blazing wharf]

oh fuck

some body told me it was global

[elder flume]

in CM

[blazing wharf]

k time to retry

[elder flume]

this is why i discourage CM only clears on Youtube

doing the same strat as CM doesnt always work

[blazing wharf]

[sonic willow]

Just use brain a little

[hexed zodiac]

Mb should’ve linked a better one

[broken tangle]

https://www.krooster.com/u/thexshiki
I am struggling with the CM: GO-EX-8, mostly because Alistair's "Royal Degree" missile oneshotting my units makes it a bit difficult to clear.

[hexed zodiac]

Use these ops plus ptilo noir and spot

Borrow Haruka

[broken tangle]

Who is Noir?

[hexed zodiac]

2 star fodder

[broken tangle]

oh mine is E0 lvl1, i am assuming i need to max him out?

[hexed zodiac]

@broken tangle you’ll do something similar to this

[hexed zodiac]

Super cheap

For the challenge stage it’s a little harder

You use gravel to draw aggro

For normal stage it’s a lot more brain dead

[full sluice]

i found a new least favorite stage FK this guy

[broken tangle]

Yeah i completed normal, it was a lot easier. 😄

[broken tangle]

Aggro of what?

[hexed zodiac]

First boss targeting

[elder flume]

EB just farts your highest damage dealer

some ops bypass it

some ops nullifies it

oh hes only weight 6 too

stallable

[full sluice]

he puts a shit cloud down and insta kills everyone in it after LOL

bit hard to stall

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah sakiko and ptilo S2 will help

Not fun tho

[full sluice]

i tried for like 2 hours ill just come back later, I killed him a couple times but i dont have enough left for the 5 guys after plus the cloud is all over the exit etc

[hexed zodiac]

You’ll have to make your band members recast sakiko S3 to kill the flying turrets after killing the middle boss then retreat and redeploy sakiko for the last boss. Thats what I did to make it easier with your team

Oh I guess sakiko can use their range to attack the final boss so no redeploy

[elder flume]

Heavyrain is the welfare there iirc

promoting camo to bypass fart

[mental venture]

is sakiko s2 or s3 better fir anihilations

[elder flume]

depends

high chance its S3

[narrow pendant]

I mean
S3 is the good skill
S2 is not the good skill

Take a hard guess

[mental venture]

honestly i wonder if this is even a good strat

[elder flume]

i hope those 2 extra deploy slots are used

Teq will die

[hidden axle]

Give that gummy to your teq she would still be blocking enemies for sakiko

The entire back setup barring myrtle can be pushed a bit forward honestly

[elder flume]

35 dp 178 kill is low

supposed to have 130+ by now

and that Canta is never seeing daylight

[hidden axle]

True

Actually

Now that I think about it

What are they waiting for to deploy hoshi2

[hexed zodiac]

I would put silver where exu2 is and point exu 2 forward imo

Have hoshi2 in front of her so she gets shield from exu2

nothing should die

[hidden axle]

I think they are saving silverass for mandra

[hexed zodiac]

Hmm

[hidden axle]

No idea why hoshi2 isnt on the field yet tho

[hexed zodiac]

Superhero’s always show up at the last second to save the day

🥀

[hidden axle]

[elder flume]

superhero gets lasered and pillared

[hidden axle]

New superhero to save pillared superhero

[elder flume]

SA isnt even that much better than Hoshi2 against Mandra

[hexed zodiac]

That’s just exu2 S3 redeploy

[hidden axle]

Ibdeed

[elder flume]

and giving shield to Hoshi2 means she loses 70% of attacks

[hidden axle]

Except exu2 is on s2

ggs

[hexed zodiac]

Honestly these states were never designed for exu2 or hoshi2 it shouldn’t be hard 😭

[elder flume]

best you can do for Exu2 S2 is Grace S2

[hexed zodiac]

I’m still pretty sure ele heal cancels out the whole stage mechanic. Isn’t the fireballs the biggest only problem?

It’s been so long since I’ve done it 🥀

[elder flume]

Hoshi2 just tanks it

tanking laser is the hard part

[hidden axle]

Those fireballs are plain dmg, no stun/skill disable thingy

[mental venture]

so i won
somehow

[hidden axle]

Btw how does alistair get his shields again (ik from the equipment but how does he spawn it)

[elder flume]

wdym how spawn

[hidden axle]

Where does he get the equipment from

[elder flume]

gear drop ?

any def gear ?

[hidden axle]

Someone drops it near him or he does it himself?

[elder flume]

both

[hidden axle]

That's what I want to know

How often does he drop

[elder flume]

you have gear box providing gear every skill proc or when destroyed

[hidden axle]

[elder flume]

then gear drop every 25s

[hidden axle]

25s I hope I get to gift him some gear

[elder flume]

its rng

[hidden axle]

[elder flume]

inb4 all caster gear

[hidden axle]

[hexed zodiac]

This right? Spawns when he puts the red crosshairs on someone and drops it from orbit

[hidden axle]

Omw to get the medal

Smh killed him too fast in og clear

[elder flume]

apparently thats not target highest hp

i remember it being highest hp

[hexed zodiac]

Ok I’m not crazy

It was last deployed when I was playing

[hidden axle]

I lucked out with gear drop think I broke 4-5 shields

[worn root]

That's steam knights missile barrage

The loot drop is last deployed

[mental venture]

who should i use in my team

[hexed zodiac]

For what

[mental venture]

general use ig

[hexed zodiac]

GO EX8?

Oh gen use

[hexed zodiac]

Link your krooster not this

[broken tangle]

@hexed zodiac thanks to your advice and many tries finally got it done with Haruka. :3

[errant herald]

I fell aaleep

Uhh what to do again

[broken tangle]

I ended up just dropping Mitsumi in front of the bluebox to hold all the small minions since she is the only one I got that can somewhat tank decently and dish out great damage! Then I had Raidian's S1 tank "The Last Steam Knight" as she was the only one who could decently tank it without getting 2 shot even with Haruka's shields... Plus Raidian's activate to increase defense and barrier on your summons. xD

[mental venture]

https://www.krooster.com/u/guyguymanmanperson
should i swap anyone out

[hexed zodiac]

Drop gummie and radian

[mental venture]

for

[hexed zodiac]

Kroosalt and rockrock

Drop Myrtle and replace with cuora

Use canta S1 for early dp gen

If you want to use Myrtle instead drop canta for cuora

All 5 stars mentioned functions just fine E1

Do not E2 silence she is the next to go

Put some levels in hoshi2 (like 20-30) you’ll see some good stat increases

Your first priority is raising provi to E2

[mental venture]

why provi

[astral cosmos]

best base slave

prints lmd

not used in combat

[faint scaffold]

is hibiscus2 good?

bobbing seems okay

[strange palm]

So quick question: I've used this squad and managed to defeat 393/400 enemies on the Saltfin Graveyard annihilation mission, but should I change anyone on this squad to push me just a bit further to the finish line? The enemies that leak are the ones at the very end, so my initial setup is decently feasible

[hexed zodiac]

Flame tail and exu are your weakest links and I can’t recommend anyone if I don’t know what your other ops are link krooster

[strange palm]

the link's in my bio

it's in my server nickname

[astral cosmos]

are you playing a niche of some sort

[faint scaffold]

?

[astral cosmos]

well, are you just playing the game normally or are you limiting your squad to certain ops

[faint scaffold]

just exisiting

[astral cosmos]

then no
hibalter is about as proficient as a lightbulb trying to light up a black hole

same goes for bobbing

👍

[faint scaffold]

which is the best stage for grind in the go event thingy

[narrow pendant]

Gel stage

[faint scaffold]

which is that

[hidden axle]

GO-8

[faint scaffold]

thanks and will do

[hexed zodiac]

Canta, Ray, Leizi, matsumi, sakiko, umiri, haruka, lemuen, hoshi2, mylnar, Nara, Chen alter

If you want to make the band synergy better you can bring uika but not needed (replace Chen)

Mylnar is kinda redundant with leizi but they still bring huge damage each and you don’t have many meta options.

You’re lacking actual blockers but you do a lot of damage so

Your options for more blockers if it makes you feel more comfy are saria gracebearer and la pluma (pluma lowest on the list)

Side note: you have Haruka raised I don’t know why you aren’t using her in the image you linked, she replaces both your medics

[hidden axle]

Does this account need the band

[strange palm]

I think I either hadn't had Haruka raised enough around the time I made the squad I shared (it was mostly made around the time the main mission in annihilation was the bazaar and I just swapped Saria for hoshi2) or I hadn't thought of putting Haruka in over the medics

...I should probably work on upgrading Ray and Mlynar, right?

[unkempt meteor]

Borrow logos to assist red box in leftest side

[full terrace]

@frigid heart there you go #strategy message

That one was made a year ago, it will be a reupload later anyway

[hidden axle]

This squad can do that stage 10 times in a row you are probably making some silly errors
Want me to share a guide to lessen the pain of waiting for 400 kills?

[unkempt meteor]

@strange palm you can replace amiya with any sniper or caster, hoshi alone should be fine without healer

[strange palm]

[strange palm]

I know I'm certainly fumbling at the end, so having a guide should help

[hidden axle]

https://youtu.be/1pTeDWYln-w?si=I1DOy65-GfnbwBxT

[strange palm]

I do wanna experiment with the new Ave Mujica members for a run too, so I'm gonna take a look at this

[errant herald]

RAGHHHHH

[novel vine]

which is would be easiest to run an r6 only team

[grave saddle]

Any chance Ill be able to clear GO-9 with this? What should be my go to tactic? Im really struggling with this as boss always kills off my holders easily...

[elder flume]

Pluma S1 solo top

[grave saddle]

How do I deal with the boss though?

[elder flume]

Sakiko bottom lane

Umiri range extension

bait with Hoshi2 or SA or Surfer or Saria

[sonic willow]

Sakiko shreds boss

[elder flume]

doubt your Umiri can tank

[grave saddle]

I didnt even look at Umiri so far :/

[grave saddle]

Thanks a lot for your help

[left night]

How do you solve the problem of deployment order in go-9 if you don't have a tank with taunt?

[sonic willow]

deploy your tank last

[left night]

There's just not enough dp to set up a proper defense before the boss start nuking

[elder flume]

just dont deploy in his range ?

[left night]

His range is like... the entire map?

[elder flume]

3.4 radius

[left night]

Wait he don't have a global range?

Cuz it feels like he does

[elder flume]

look at vid above

[left night]

I forget that sash is also a tank lol

And also never thought about using ambusher, as they can also be deployed later

[barren crescent]

How do i beat go ex 8 challenge mode? Like whats the general rule in that stage

[hexed zodiac]

general rule is it depends on what units you have

[signal vector]

Nah he doesnt, he just has a really big range

[brisk surge]

3.4 tiles bruddah

its 17 tiles on cm ex

quite funny

[tender orbit]

Why is it .4

[brisk surge]

fuck do i know, i didnt make the stage

[elder flume]

because its a circle

you dont ask pi why its 3.14

[brisk surge]

okay but it could be 3.5

[elder flume]

pi still stands

and 3.5 is fucked up

[bright peak]

Someone have a low cost guide on this

[brisk surge]

im gonna give you a pie alright

[elder flume]

when ops have .55 hitbox

what counts as low cost

[young cairn]

It's not 3.14, that's just a very rough approximation

[bright peak]

I need one that will help me clear it I have to build my operators first tho

[elder flume]

is that notif on Noir for voice or for token use

[bright peak]

Token use

[elder flume]

E2 5star voucher where

use the tokens then

P1 ops are balls

[bright peak]

Somebody told me to use it on her

[brisk surge]

x d

[bright peak]

Cuz money they said

Idk how things work here

[brisk surge]

idk who told you that but at this point im gonna need names

[hexed zodiac]

thats a lot of random levels in ops

[sonic willow]

Borrow mountain for 7-9 easy
Also build your sakiko asap, you best unit by far

[young cairn]

I understand that e2 proviso is worth it for money but using it as your first e2 is kinda wild

[hexed zodiac]

provi is good to E2 but in the very start of the game you want to have someone on your team able to deal damage so we dont recommend E2ing provi off the bat but its ok for now. bring provi in your squad but dont use her. by having a E2 unit in your squad you can borrow a E2 friend unit

[bright peak]

Idk but there were 2 people who told me

[sonic willow]

It's not terrible cause proviso is goated but it's better to e2 ticket a combat 5star for smooth early game

It could've been worse

[hexed zodiac]

couldve been projekt red

[young cairn]

Dw about it, it's not technically a mistake. It'll just be a bit of a bump in your early game curve

[hexed zodiac]

or a healer

[brisk surge]

alright i will get this guy banned from help

[hexed zodiac]

lmfao

[sonic willow]

didnt say e2 ticket

[fringe solstice]

also who uses proviso for healing

[hexed zodiac]

he just ignored his question

[brisk surge]

idk

welcome to the slop bunch in help

[hexed zodiac]

^ im trying to get out of it

[fringe solstice]

anyway 7-9 you want a low cost dp that can beat chapter 7 dogs

or you can do tr-15 stuff with e1 vanguards

[hexed zodiac]

could just use noir and borrow damage

if youre really worried about having enough dp to drop defenders for enemy rush use 11 dp cost exu2

[brisk surge]

if only they had e2 tequila or spectre yk but oh well unlucky

[hexed zodiac]

at least they can still borrow a E2 unit by bringing provi in their squad for now

not like story missions require a built team 🥀

[brisk surge]

mudrock upgraded is also kinda rough

[hexed zodiac]

exu too

[brisk surge]

resources shouldve went into sakiko

e1 exu is still not the worst thing

[hexed zodiac]

E1 thorns aint doing anything

[brisk surge]

at least she clears trash but like

without vanguards

when are you gonna place down mudrock

[hexed zodiac]

yeah but lvl 70 e1 thats a lot of lmd (guess it doesnt matter he has provi )

when he finally does the stage will end in the next 10 seconds

[brisk surge]

honestly the real advice is just to borrow and clear so they can upgrade base

[hexed zodiac]

nothing will burn me out more as a newbie more then borrowing wisadel every stage and feeling like my ops dont matter

but...yeah

[young cairn]

That's honestly a legitimate point

It's probably atleast a bit crushing to feel that your units have 0 impact

[exotic grove]

@river igloo this is the haruka skk opening strat killari is referring to btw

[fringe solstice]

tbf you can borrow different ops instead of just wisadel

[river igloo]

https://www.krooster.com/u/very-rainbow-gorilla-03jo

[river igloo]

Aight i see it

[young cairn]

Aiyo work on your skill levels

[river igloo]

Who should I focus on or all of them 😂

[young cairn]

Get your dps units to sl7 first

Then your healers

[river igloo]

Alright

[exotic grove]

is that sl2 sakichan 😭

[hexed zodiac]

It’ll be rough but not impossible

Challenge mode might be impossible tho

[exotic grove]

they'll definitely need baits for CM

[hexed zodiac]

Maybe a nymph stall angle

For cm

[river igloo]

😂😂 i created awhile ago and decided to give another go

Alright what's CM?

[hexed zodiac]

Challenge mode

[exotic grove]

pray raidian carry
if you neural network on the steam knight might work idk

[hexed zodiac]

Oh wait

[river igloo]

My raiden isn't fully maxed only or stage 6 atm

[hexed zodiac]

e2 radian

Yeah

That’s fine you’ll be using his S1 anyways

So the plan is radian stall with S1, Haruka keeps everything alive S2 and sakiko kills everything

Let me run it

[exotic grove]

I'm wondering how they handle mid late stage when the two mechs and the last drone walk in
if skk needs to be moved to handle steam knight

[river igloo]

The drone just 1 shots my units

Even my tanks like saria

[hexed zodiac]

ive done it with literally a revolving door of defenders and sakiko + haruka. its literally all on sakiko

[river igloo]

Alright lemme try it

[exotic grove]

high school girl carries a bunch of grown men and women to victory

[sonic willow]

They can also just leave ex8 cm for later already in RR anyway

[fringe solstice]

the real boss of the event

[hexed zodiac]

yeah you can kill them by placing sakiko properly in the beginning

[river igloo]

Aight my sakiko does 0 dmg

Might need to upgrade her somehow xD

[exotic grove]

because she's not s3m3 mod2

[river igloo]

Yeah

[exotic grove]

at least do sl7

[river igloo]

Yep

[sonic willow]

Mod0 -> mod2 multiplies sakiko damage by like 1.5x

[exotic grove]

for context the sakichan in my vid is cracked up to all hell so don’t expect the same for yours

and definitely borrow a modded haruka, modless haruka struggles during steam knight phase

[sonic willow]

S1M3 for 999k dps boost

[hexed zodiac]

I will say sakiko really wants mods to even carry in the CM mode, the other guy yesterday needed it to clear

im running normal without mod to see but i have masteries on mine

[sonic willow]

Kyo used a really cursed rng strat to even stall that black sk

[elder flume]

just grab non friend support and test SL7

my strat is just Hoshi2 S3 first deploy to kill drone and deal 75% of Alistair hp

[hexed zodiac]

This will be our basic opening, Haruka then sakiko and saria @river igloo

[exotic grove]

where do u put her? I was trying hoshialt exualt kamikaze strat but it wasn't enough to kill

[hexed zodiac]

I don’t have Haruka so I need to borrow 😭

[elder flume]

under Alistair

[sonic willow]

is this also using magic crate + reaper stall?

[elder flume]

use skill when Hoshi2 reaches red hp

[hexed zodiac]

No I try to stay away from RNG for these

Unless you’re talking about something else

[river igloo]

Alright gonna grind resources to sl7 and go from there

[hexed zodiac]

None CM stage Haruka just out right keeps people alive

[sonic willow]

yeah it's rng if you don't have magic crate, sk will break through

[river igloo]

Thanks for the help

[elder flume]

does Hoshi2 double redeploy even kill Alistair

80 res under 50% hp + shield ?

65 res

[exotic grove]

it doesn't
I was using exu s2

[hexed zodiac]

he gains increasing resistances when below 50%

[river igloo]

1 last question who should I e2 next and what should I spend my certificate/save up for next?

[hexed zodiac]

so idk

[hexed zodiac]

degen

[exotic grove]

s3 double hoshi red hp cancel only takes it this far

[elder flume]

that looks too low

[exotic grove]

too low?
like not as much dmg as u expect?

[elder flume]

ye

and drone is still alive lol

since my 1 deploy alr does more

[hexed zodiac]

sakiko can two cylce him thankfully

[exotic grove]

my hoshialt is only e2lv1 s3m2

wait when are u canceling her skill?

[elder flume]

end of skill

[exotic grove]

ohh

I was canceling immediately
I never read hoshi's kit

[elder flume]

wtf

so thats like

[exotic grove]

either way she dies before skill is close to ending

[elder flume]

25% uptime ?

E2 1 ye

against E2 75 the hp diff is prob like 2k+

[exotic grove]

yea dis the best she can do without dying

[hexed zodiac]

Increase res <50% is really killing this idea yeah

[exotic grove]

yea and unfortunately exia targets the little mobs in front of him first so even on s2 she can't blap

[wheat arch]

thats why the ch3n demo was so impressive

[hexed zodiac]

But if you can take out those heliturrets it’s worth

[wheat arch]

killing him with arts is

not the best idea

[exotic grove]

do u have link to said cheeen demo

[wheat arch]

i dont but i can dig it up

sec

[elder flume]

its like prob top 5 most watched Chen3 vid

i just see it immediately upon opening Bili

[wheat arch]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1cAFCz3EfG/

minute 3

[hexed zodiac]

Ok so…what I got from this is @exotic grove doesn’t know how to use hoshi2

[exotic grove]

IT WORKED HAHAHA

[hidden axle]

Radiofraud

[exotic grove]

I never liked hoshiguma so I never read her kit

[hidden axle]

[hexed zodiac]

But you pulled for her 😭

[exotic grove]

I have her pot2 yea

I wanted momoka but she kept showing up

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah never got Haruka

[foggy grove]

you don't really miss anything

[hexed zodiac]

yeah i got monster idc

[exotic grove]

wait canta is an ammo operator?

[elder flume]

[exotic grove]

I'm a tila simp so I never looked at her
time to build

[elder flume]

imagine not having all vanguards raised

[exotic grove]

all I need is myrtle, tila, bag, and potato ines

almost done with myrtle

[hexed zodiac]

S2

[elder flume]

surely you will do S2M3 right

[exotic grove]

yes
I forgot I also use vigna and vulpipi

[low ember]

Any1 trying to helping with GO-9? I can finish the stage but I just can’t kill the boss in time before his instawipe

[elder flume]

use Lapp or Jaye if youre too slow

[low ember]

Does skill level matter or nah

[elder flume]

prob not

just P5 Lapp or E2 prob

[hidden axle]

E2 teq not enough?

Oh yeah he got shields

[low ember]

It takes boss to half at best

[hidden axle]

is a 2nd skill activation that hard to achieve

Tbh idk his pathing

Btw GO-9's material is not used much so you could just borroe and call it a day

[low ember]

I’ve lowk been relying on wisadel support too much so I’m trying to scale it down a bit 😭

[hidden axle]

Borrow mlynar

Finishes alistair before he can even get a shield

[sonic willow]

sakiko s2 mogs thorns so bad it's not even funny

[elder flume]

what pathing he doesnt move

[hidden axle]

(That's how I didn't get the medal in my og clear)

[low ember]

For jaye s1 or s2?

[elder flume]

S1

just use it at the end before 350s

can delay instakill skill until Jaye dies

[weak gazelle]

normal boss is st or mt?
make use raidian and teq should be enough i guess

[hasty minnow]

I am still stuck on the holographic combat matrix

Is 7-18 supposed to be this hard

[vital arrow]

well it is hyperbuffed 7-18

it is supposed to be hard

[hasty minnow]

Is it even possible to beat it with these ops? I tried borrowing ulpianus and that mf just dies without haruka.

[vital arrow]

depends on modifiers and how high youre aiming

[hasty minnow]

I was going to go to 15 but having a solid plan for base is fine too.

[vital arrow]

the easy bruteforce is AH squad with tragodia and haruka

with that squad you'll probably die getting statchecked because you have no damage and no CC

[glass monolith]

If you feel it is hard. Try risk 0 LS-4 guide less. Good luck

[hasty minnow]

I can borrow tragodia but i don’t have haruka

[vital arrow]

well you can aim lower then

its permanent content anyways

[hasty minnow]

I will try this

[glass monolith]

I tried it first and it demotivated me from even touching other 3

[hasty minnow]

Deadass if all my operators were not gaurds, this would be easier

Im getting pretty far with suzu and exu, i literally need one more good slow

[elder flume]

Earthspirit

tho the easy way out is wait for Pram2

no idea why Saria is S2

[hasty minnow]

Shes on s2 because shit does matter as she will get one shot

[elder flume]

cycling Saria S3 and Ptilo S2 not enough ?

[hasty minnow]

I just watched this mf one shot ulpianus

[hasty minnow]

I will try this

[brisk surge]

your account is just not built for the content yet

[elder flume]

that too

[brisk surge]

everything is just gonna get statchecked and explode

[hasty minnow]

Yeah saria got one tapped even after i let her mod take full effect

Thats my sign to give up.

[elder flume]

phase 1 is 4k x 4 phys so barely anyone survives

[hasty minnow]

I can get him to phase 2 but I can’t slow him down enough to do enough dmg in time

[hasty minnow]

Im really just not built for ts

I thought you could beat every level in arknights with whatever ops but ig not

[brisk surge]

well you cant beat endgame content with whatever ops

7-18 is probably the hardest stage in all of matrix

[elder flume]

Wis cant even beat 0-1 CM

[hasty minnow]

Yeah I’ve learned that now. I’m used to seeing people suggest low tier operators to clear difficult stages

[wicked minnow]

either your interpretation of low tier ops or difficult stages is inaccurate

[foggy grove]

prolly just taking literally how people regurgitate low rarity can clear everything

[hidden axle]

I think they are refering to ppl clearing ex stages with lower rarity

[young cairn]

Bring back 1p i dare you

[hidden axle]

What's 1p

[sonic willow]

it's just to show you don't need meta units to play the game but you'd be insane to actually only use 4stars

[brisk surge]

you cant max risk with 4 stars only

[sonic willow]

that's way beyond the bar of playing the game

[brisk surge]

but thats what fib would say

[sonic willow]

fib is on a higher plane

emphasis on high 🚬

[elder flume]

just raise the bar

[hidden axle]

Hi noob stage assistant here where is my client

[young cairn]

It's a kind of nicheknights people used to do back in 2021-2022 where you only use 1 tile at a time

[wanton rover]

Some cc do like the challenge and it shows that strategy and knowledge sometimes is enough

[young cairn]

Basically you're only allowed to have 1 unit out at a time

[hidden axle]

I heard about lowstep back then but damn thjs was a thing too

[mighty mantle]

Gone ig

[sonic willow]

1p relay

[vital arrow]

theres 1p relay

[unkempt lintel]

theres actually a side map in ccb that play around 1p

[vital arrow]

there 1 tile 1p relay

theres 1 tile 1p relay no hit

[elder flume]

some use 1p relay in tandem with animations so they must look like theyre flowing

[vital arrow]

wasnt that the dossoles map

the risk was like

1 deployment limit

and its the very first one

[hidden axle]

Cc11 map?

[vital arrow]

CCB dossoles side map

[hidden axle]

I see

[young cairn]

Honestly would recommend looking into 1p relays, if anything they make for a cool watch especially if you're watching the autodeploy replay

[barren crescent]

So this is my current team

I also have sakiko at e2 lv 60 mod

[elder flume]

Ines can survive 1 attack

maybe 2 modless not sure

enough time to drop Mlynar to bait

then its just sustaining Mlynar and the rest is the same as normal

[barren crescent]

But wont him attack the most recently deployed op?

[elder flume]

and Mlynar has ?

[barren crescent]

uhhhh

idk i thought hes the funny big numbers guy

[elder flume]

theres 5 possible things to read on his chara page that may help

[barren crescent]

Oh ok

Is the reduced damage only apply when there are enemies around him or its always active?

[vital arrow]

well theres a clause that precedes that statement

[barren crescent]

Oh

Me and my non native ass thought it was a separate thing

[hidden axle]

Is this ex8

Ex8 cm I see

[wanton rover]

Ex8 is driving me crazy, I'm having a really hard time here

[frigid heart]

Same

Mostly underlevel units

Only one of them is at the recommended level

[hidden axle]

https://youtu.be/BSXlqROfKuI?si=xm_T6iIVxIM6w8-V

https://youtu.be/1ChsTutrnoM?si=bVpjrBs6tEorJ8xP

[hidden axle]

^two low end guides

[hidden axle]

You have a look asw^

[glass monolith]

Recommended level in this game is highly subjective, there is no punishment for not following it and game's hardest content not even giving you recommended level before murdering you

[azure roost]

fuck i forgot about cn s stage

imma do it later

[wanton rover]

In my case I think I'm just not ready yet

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

[hidden axle]

E2 your hoshi2 for starters

And it looks doable to me

Surely you can follow a low-end guide with better replacements in said guide

[wanton rover]

No money
No sanity
Moving up on story to even open the workshop for the yellow pyramid mat

[hidden axle]

[azure roost]

life of no lmd and sanity

[elder flume]

Time to dedicate 250 hours on RA IS

[azure roost]

monthly squad can you give quick buck and mats

[wanton rover]

I'm actually having a lot of fun with RA but atm I'm blocked by the Skirmish map

[wanton rover]

Hmmm I didn't know about the boss's tells like the knee thing, this might help a lot. It's hard to realize that when a million things are also happening on screen

[elder flume]

Slow down your gameplay instead

2x > 1x > tap an op for .5x > hold an op into untilted map view for .25x speed

[hidden axle]

I always play on 1x

[elder flume]

pause

[wanton rover]

(If I could put on 3x I would)

[weak gazelle]

yeah when overwhelmed do the slow trick :ya:

[wanton rover]

Ok, I got the boss to ~20% but I messed up redeployment and lost. The top knight messed with my attention

Not bad, seems more reasonable now to do it

[young cairn]

Meanwhile me on mobile mashing on pause to slowly advance the timeline

[elder flume]

Same

Counting frames

[alpine nebula]

is there no way to refill event crystals to unlock side stories other than waiting till weekly reset?

[weak gazelle]

sadly yes
didnt recall can buy it with

[alpine nebula]

welp, guess i have to wait til monday to module up my sash

[plucky flint]

[azure roost]

@elder flume yep

[elder flume]

Oh ink press

Havent read the mechanics much

[azure roost]

god ak pc is godsend

emu shitted my old laptop

[azure roost]

very fun mechanics hoenstly

not annoying

[errant herald]

I'm back again

Fuck

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

[plucky flint]

ur the guy who keeps dying on the steam knight part right?

[errant herald]

Yuh

[narrow pendant]

Dont die

Dying is bad

[errant herald]

Was at school earlier and had to do some limbussing

[sonic willow]

atp just follow the dumb rng stall strat

[plucky flint]

I have a follow up for that but I might summon a mod, so ye

[plucky flint]

how are u dying again? and who r u borrowing?

[errant herald]

Uh wait I forgpr

Hoshialt

[narrow pendant]

I can summon 5 on command cuz i know them all

🤞

Finna perish

[hidden axle]

I see a mastery level on sakiko s2

[narrow pendant]

I see a furry pfp but choose not to point it out

[hidden axle]

[errant herald]

Master 1

[hidden axle]

Should be 0 on s2

Anyways

Last steam knight right?

[errant herald]

Yeah

Oh btws

Should open ptilopsis module

[plucky flint]

bo

no

[errant herald]

Oh

[faint scaffold]

i need help on go-8

[plucky flint]

have u tried hoshit s1?

then just stall the knight with medics

[hidden axle]

Fyril you manage ex8 I will take on this go-8 person

[hidden axle]

Noob assistant for noobs here which part exactly gives you trouble

[errant herald]

Shit the only good medic I have is ptilo

[faint scaffold]

the tanky one that spawns from top

[hidden axle]

Link your krooster again iirc nobody should be problem for you outside of steam knight and maybe those two gold knights

[azure roost]

lol

[errant herald]

Wait who

Me?

[faint scaffold]

https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/ryukatsu

havebt updated in a bit

[errant herald]

Oh ryukatsu

[azure roost]

what issue?

[errant herald]

My baf

[azure roost]

SK or Drones

[serene halo]

you dont have a coach right now

[azure roost]

its usually those two

[serene halo]

you gotta make a reservation

[brisk surge]

content

[errant herald]

There's a reservation ..?

[azure roost]

still funni seeing ex 8

[hidden axle]

Unreal fyril ditched you

[azure roost]

issue usual is SK and Drones

or that boss global attack

[errant herald]

Those 2 tbh xd

[faint scaffold]

so can i get help with go8

[azure roost]

that can be solve with frd

[hidden axle]

Any notable e2s that aren't shown here?

[azure roost]

kekw

[faint scaffold]

no

[serene halo]

drones are more of an issue to be honest, sk can be stalled

[errant herald]

I have no problem killing the boss, but yeah just got no time to kill the drons with my ops

[azure roost]

drones eat tiles so ye

[errant herald]

And to stall the sk

[azure roost]

ranged unit get deleted by them

[errant herald]

IM GODDAMN RAGHHH

[faint scaffold]

i havent seen drones

[hidden axle]

Hoshi2/sakiko should be abke yo deal with whatever is giving you troubke on that stage, maybe your positioning is wrong

[azure roost]

anyway gl @errant herald

[errant herald]

Man I wonder how I'm gonna do this shit

Yt it is

[plucky flint]

hmm, s1 hoshit doesn't work on me

[hidden axle]

Don't tell me I gotta two-time

[azure roost]

bruhe

have fun koo

[brisk surge]

🍿

[hidden axle]

don't abandon ke

[plucky flint]

tbh, this is just a wis stage

[azure roost]

i still need to finish my cn alt acc s stage

gl

[hidden axle]

Real both of you borrow a wis and call it a day

[azure roost]

real

[hidden axle]

Nvm not go-8 guy

That's a farming stage

[faint scaffold]

thats why i havent used supoort

[shrewd fractal]

guys how does alistair work?? he targets the closest op to him or what?? or most recently deployed, or smth else??

[hidden axle]

I am not three-timing

[hidden axle]

Pretty sure it's recently deployed

[faint scaffold]

cheater??

[azure roost]

this

[shrewd fractal]

aight should be easy to counter then....i think

[azure roost]

so bait the attack using frd

know when he gonna the supply

since the damage

will kill ur unit around

[hidden axle]

Is this ex8 cm?

[azure roost]

[faint scaffold]

this one

[hidden axle]

I am pretty sure you have all the meta units in the game

[errant herald]

I can't do shit RAGHHH

[azure roost]

yes

what cat comp have?

[shrewd fractal]

no lol havent even done go-9

[azure roost]

[hidden axle]

[shrewd fractal]

i just got around to it

[hidden axle]

Dude

You have tragodia ascalon ulpianus exu2 and whatever the fuck is meta

[azure roost]

bruhe

[hidden axle]

[azure roost]

ye brainded it

wtf u have that

u literally disabled the stage

[shrewd fractal]

who you guys talking abt

[hidden axle]

You

[shrewd fractal]

?????

i dont have ascalon or exu2????

[errant herald]

Ok watched some YouTube videos

[shrewd fractal]

also i didnt say i was having trouble lol i just asked b4 attempting

[hidden axle]

okay that's my bad

[errant herald]

I fear I can't do shit

[hidden axle]

Breh

[azure roost]

koo wtf u talking about

[hidden axle]

Boss is a joke

[azure roost]

i thoguht cat we taking about idk im confused now

lmfao

[azure roost]

ye

[hidden axle]

They had to add a 2023 boss jist to make boss ex stage feel like an ex stage

[shrewd fractal]

ye lmao why am i suddenly the one getting roasted

[azure roost]

ex 8 cm global attack can be disabled by frd bait

[hidden axle]

Chill and nuke him

[azure roost]

then just nuke him

[serene halo]

or you can rng mald wisadel stun

[azure roost]

[errant herald]

I can kill boss easily

The damn sk thing is hard

[faint scaffold]

did go8 in pratice

[hidden axle]

We are not talking about youbyet

[azure roost]

thats the easy part

unelss u have bad healing

ur cant cycle

and or cant bait the barrage

[hidden axle]

I think their medixs are e1

[errant herald]

Well I could just use haruka, then sakiko the bosss

Then uh, hm.. should I e2 saria and?

[hidden axle]

She doesn't do much here

[azure roost]

nope

she will die anyway

[serene halo]

why do you have e2 80 ptilo anyways

[hidden axle]

Apart from uh buffing sakiko's s3 with her s3 but that's redundant here

[errant herald]

If I have hoshi alt
https://youtu.be/UD76AXMEmic?si=40rF1X5w57FqKyqd

[azure roost]

what ur support?

[hexed zodiac]

Hoshialt isn’t needed here the main two units are sakiko and haruka

[errant herald]

Hoh that's from the reward thing, I just want to get good medic for story

[azure roost]

[errant herald]

Would be haruka

[serene halo]

[azure roost]

[errant herald]

🧍

[hidden axle]

Do you need haruka support

[errant herald]

Hm ykw lemme try

[hidden axle]

Lmk if you do I am uh cycling support between sakiko, mlynar, hoshi2 and haruka for those struggling with ex8 even with wis

[faint scaffold]

did go8

[hidden axle]

Or dont wsnt to use wis

[brisk surge]

i have mod 3 pot 6 wis if anyone needs

[azure roost]

@brisk surge whale

[hidden axle]

I advertised this in friend-id and got 10ish clue slaves in 18 hrs, wonder if I got more haven't opened the game in a good while

[azure roost]

[errant herald]

Ok wait this is working quite well just need to know how to defeat the damn shit

[serene halo]

just stall them

surely your healing is enough

[errant herald]

Yeah I can pron

[serene halo]

there will be more from the middle iirc

[hidden axle]

Who's dealing with steam knight if sakiko is placed there

[hidden axle]

Yeah 2 more
And 2 more drones too

[errant herald]

Saria is dead

I repeat saria is dead

[serene halo]

oh right

[hidden axle]

Freye told you she woukd dje

[serene halo]

e1 chud saria

[errant herald]

Xd

[errant herald]

Not bad to try and experiment

[hidden axle]

Also who was going to deal with steam knight

I only see sakiko capable of it but uh that positioning

Your silverash is e1 iirc

[errant herald]

?

He's e2

[hidden axle]

Oh

[hexed zodiac]

Yep now redeploy the sakiko to kill second boss

[hidden axle]

Masteries and mod done?

[hidden axle]

1 image too late

[errant herald]

Masteries not quite, module nay

[hidden axle]

[errant herald]

S3 only m1

I could probably do that first then

[hidden axle]

Ig that's enough to trigger his take-off

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah you need to bring a few defenders to stall like spot, cuora, noir and saria they should be able to cycle between them until the boss dies

[serene halo]

surely sash can do more than the 2.4k defense that steamknights have

[errant herald]

Does he eventually lose health?

Also who gonna deal the bosses in the middle though
https://youtu.be/UD76AXMEmic?si=40rF1X5w57FqKyqd

Trying to follow this with more shits

[hexed zodiac]

I did this to beat the boss before with another newbies squad

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah it’s all about placement of sakiko for the second boss

[plucky flint]

smh smh I forgot what this steam knight does

[errant herald]

Hm...

[plucky flint]

this is the effect of brute forcing every event now and then

[errant herald]

Arghhh

[serene halo]

he kinda does nothing i aint gonna lie

[errant herald]

Except bombard with missles

[plucky flint]

tried some e1 defender and none is surviving, so u probably need to bring spare tanks to rotate

[next wigeon]

For those that have built accounts

[hidden axle]

Hey his gimmick is neat

It ain't much but it's one of a kind

[serene halo]

you are borrowing haruka realistically the bombardment shouldn't do anything

[next wigeon]

For those that don't, they get mugged and slapped

[errant herald]

My tanks

[hidden axle]

Bro

Non-existent tanks

[next wigeon]

Yknow she can't do anything when the op gets 1 tapped

[serene halo]

no cuora this is so bum 🥀

[hexed zodiac]

Noir and beagle I guess

[serene halo]

get statchecked

[errant herald]

I have cuora

[hidden axle]

Borrow wisadel atp

[elder flume]

Fish for arts equipment instead

[errant herald]

I'm trying my best!!!

[next wigeon]

Tbh I don't know what you should borrow anyway

[azure roost]

huh bruhe

[next wigeon]

I used Ulpianus for mine but that's because I have really good healers

[hexed zodiac]

Or just gladiia

[serene halo]

gang I don't see cuora in the picture also this has been going on long enough that I don't remember what he has

[hexed zodiac]

Didn’t he have saria tho

[serene halo]

wait his cuora is e1 too

[next wigeon]

I have faith in your modification skills, so have this guide
https://youtu.be/1ChsTutrnoM

[hidden axle]

They are following pard's 3 op clear

Tis helps too tho

[next wigeon]

Why that

[hidden axle]

She died

E1 max saria iirc

[serene halo]

e1 54 according to his krooster

[hexed zodiac]

Oh these are the replacements

[serene halo]

also pard is questionable

[errant herald]

Lemme update them

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

Alr here

[hexed zodiac]

I mean he should have the damage between silver and eyj plus sakiko to finish this, just needs bodies to stop them from entering blue box

[next wigeon]

Im guessing Hoshi2 from Pard has S1M3

[errant herald]

Calling them sacrifices

😭

Man I'm too dumb for this shit

I just wanna get the medals

[next wigeon]

That's the normal gameplay ya

[hexed zodiac]

“Some of you may die but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” Farquad

[next wigeon]

Tbh the event isn't even too hard

Unlike the disaster called Clip Cliff

[hexed zodiac]

It just has more then one boss that’s all 😂 😭

[next wigeon]

Its just pure stats ya

Unlike Harold and Clip with annoying ass mechanics

[azure roost]

drones and SK usually fuck player

[serene halo]

did they finish the last event ?

[hexed zodiac]

Ele damage procs too bc they dont realize their ops will explode when it procs

[next wigeon]

I hope they did

Morpheus was a bitch

[errant herald]

Oh hell nah

[serene halo]

shes pretty cute

[errant herald]

Well I did finish the last event

Just not ex-8

[hexed zodiac]

Not too bad you could cheese him with logos and suboptimal healers

[errant herald]

Fuck that shit

[next wigeon]

I dislike the butterflies even more than the boss

[errant herald]

Mf is drones 2.0

Literally fuck this shit xd

[next wigeon]

Witch King 1 Tap when the event was still active

[errant herald]

I couldn't even do challenge mkde

[hexed zodiac]

Wait that was the one where logos S1 insta killed the boss right?

[hasty minnow]

at least you can sometimes kill the enemies before that bird that I hate spawns in sometimes

[next wigeon]

My Auto looks so schizo for Zwilingstürm Im Herbst after patch was done

[hasty minnow]

Some mf recommended that I do matrix and I thought they meant holographic combat matrix and i got my ass beat

[serene halo]

whoever told you that hates you forreal

[errant herald]

So uh

[serene halo]

keep grinding

[glass monolith]

I told someone to do matrix LS-4 on 0 when they said something about matrix patriot 15 being hard

[next wigeon]

Keep going

[next wigeon]

LS-4 on 0 shouldn't be hard no?

[plucky flint]

try to get this spawn near your blue box

then stall the hell out of steam knight

[hasty minnow]

that was me

[hexed zodiac]

You can cheese that a bit. After placing Haruka your next op you immediately place will get targeted by the supply drop so place down someone like noir have him get attacked, retreat him and place sakiko on the dropped equipment for a stat boost

[glass monolith]

Enemy HP 300%, attack speed down 50%, ATK stat down 50%, no DP gen, Melee OR Ranged ban. I have no clue how someone suppose to survive opening without Exu2, Mumu or something
