strategy

[glass monolith]

Which one

[azure roost]

[scarlet fulcrum]

2 trading post lv3, and those 5 is ur fac

He yapped in help

[maiden hound]

fine. i concede. indra for glasgow

[silver tartan]

i mean it is as you says ye

[scarlet fulcrum]

Sry kinda slow net

[silver tartan]

dw man my rotted brain cannot handle the WORDS XD

[scarlet fulcrum]

Do u have proviso?

[silver tartan]

not yet?

[hasty minnow]

go to #r-i-i-c and check the pins

it has the base guides

[silver tartan]

yea i'm watching it rn XD

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea 2 lv3 tp is ur option rn

[silver tartan]

wait i only have 8 room lv rn which should i lv 3 next? training room and?

cuz i need to get control center to lv 5

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dorm (temporary) and training room

[sour epoch]

Any strategy and teams to defeat Suppresion of Sui Floor 5?

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can downgrade dorm again later

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pins #is-station

[maiden hound]

easiest is trag s2 for paralysis + raidian s1 block toplane

generico dps for the side lanes

[hasty minnow]

trag gravel, sometimes they wont have raidian.

[sour epoch]

What do you mean by Generico?

[hasty minnow]

generic probably

[sour epoch]

So for start... I can take Guard, Supporter, and Specialist?

[maiden hound]

most damage dealers would do. preferably with multitarget since they come in batches

[sour epoch]

Can you explain what that is

[hasty minnow]

vangaurd supporter specialist.

he means any dps to handle the elft and right lanes

[sour epoch]

Oh, okay

[hasty minnow]

I wouldn't suggest guards because you're going to borrow tragodia and you won't have enough hope to get a good guard

easiest would be something like gravel, tragodia, and myrtle(specialist, supporter, vangaurd) you can borrow all three if you're low level.

[sour epoch]

And anymore suggestions for DPS?

I have E2 Eyja

[hasty minnow]

you could do fine with raidian s2

and just blocking the left and right lanes with the summons.

main part is to perma stall the boss on the very top with tragodia cat.

[silver tartan]

holy now i just notice how op is radian as a free unit lmao

[glass monolith]

Mainly in IS6 because usual "Your unit is more value per deploy slot" for build up roster in normal content

[hasty minnow]

she will fall off but shes a really solid unit for beginners with lack of 6*

[silver tartan]

i mean i got alot of 6 star on my hands alr XD

[hasty minnow]

Raidian summons are better then some 6* so hey, maybe still useful

[full sluice]

sheesh this was a toughie

had to level all my tanks and healers D:

probably because I couldnt rely on Haruka since she destroyed all the boxes too early

[scarlet fulcrum]

U were not farming gel? We will have ded weeks soon for story push

[full sluice]

I'm a new account I have like 4 months of story stuff to do

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea thats fine, we expect ch16 soon after that ded weeks too. Which another ded weeks

Prio event farm first, and base

[full sluice]

I got all the event stuff and finished base, Im just not gonna farm gel I don't need when theres fun stuff to do :p

[scarlet fulcrum]

welp its ur choice, how many gels in ur depot btw?

And solvent

🍃

[full sluice]

sorry reading post mission stuff sec

[azure roost]

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its fine just enjoy it, dont mind me. Not pestering u or anything. Just friendly advice

[azure roost]

smh kirn

[full sluice]

smh talulah always showing up unwanted

anyway

[scarlet fulcrum]

looks like religion converter atp

[azure roost]

decent gel

[scarlet fulcrum]

Notbad amount, solvent to 60 and the rest for Gel. But yea no need to force it. Just saying Gel is high demand mats

[azure roost]

^

[full sluice]

im not even pulling again till summer so I wont even have anything to do with them for ages

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah wang and chen alone need like ~60 solvent or smt

[elder flume]

Im still raising atleast 24 ops worth and like half of them are for base

[scarlet fulcrum]

Not to mention alloy 👀

[azure roost]

alloy and gel is always get go

since they require on both mats crafting

[azure roost]

glad im done on that

since i just e2 alot for base ops

i still remember having 100k lmd since i always e2 ops for base

now i have 19.1m lmd

[full sluice]

i dont have like 70% of the ops in the doc for base so

no worry for me lol

[azure roost]

but still wary

gel and alloy is high demand mats

and i forgot anothe thing

[scarlet fulcrum]

E2 base like only proviso and shamare

[azure roost]

that usually get u bottle neck

devices

[scarlet fulcrum]

Still remember i feel rich during skadi event just to realize later that amount barely nothing

[full sluice]

https://www.krooster.com/u/fzero i think im doing good but i dont really have comparison point, anyway like i said I dont think my roster will grow a lot in next months so i wont be spamming mats, just need to finish some module and s3 on main team rn and get a few more levels

[azure roost]

anyway have fun on ak

do saria s1m3

but ye lots of ops is on m2

[full sluice]

ya i just figured out my tanks are weak in that last mission 😛 she was e150 before that mission and my other tanks/healers were e140ish

[hexed zodiac]

Saria only needs mastery lvl 1 and mod 1 if you really want

Mastery 1 reduces the sp cost by 1 that’s why

[wicked minnow]

you're doing great. yeah if your roster isnt expanding much, i'd also work on building units that arent e2'd yet and finishing the current ops you have. as of right now, your top priority is mod2 or mod3 on sakiko

[full sluice]

yeah i dont have that event unlocked for her module yet

[azure roost]

hi shileds

[wicked minnow]

hiiiii freyja

[azure roost]

some questionable level on 5★ doe

unless u like em

ill bat an eye on it

[full sluice]

i used the event voucher on cantabile if thats what ur lookign at

[wicked minnow]

oo you can build band if you want to acc

[hexed zodiac]

Looks great just stop investing in vina

[wicked minnow]

when you are done with 6*s you can try building band for sakiko

[full sluice]

I wish I had a good sniper cuz I need a cheaper dps often and mine are weak but i dont want to raise them more

[full sluice]

and yeah I dont need more guards lmao

[hexed zodiac]

No she’s just trash, you can have 10 guards if they all fulfill different rolls well

[full sluice]

D: Siege is a nice lady

[hexed zodiac]

Make her your background then, don’t sink more lmd into her 😭

[azure roost]

unbased

but ye use lmd on other first

you can raise her later

when ur rich

[full sluice]

ofc rn I'm out of skill books so my training room is unoccupied

[elder flume]

Class barely matters until class ban ye

Or voucher ig

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah like wasting a specialist vouch on tin man in IS5 isn’t fun when there are so many good options etc

[full sluice]

i havent done a lot i just started trying them like 10 days ago or so its fun though

[foggy grove]

will we ever get 4 star strategist or we wont because the trait is too op?

[brisk surge]

dont know
wait for future banner infos

[foggy grove]

maybe hg dont want to powercreep myrtle

[brisk surge]

myrtle is already severely crept as a unit

[foggy grove]

ive gotten bored bringing matsukiri everywhere

[brisk surge]

wtf schrodin appearance

[sterile delta]

agents are the strongest vg archetype and the 4 star agent is kinda terrible so i dont see how strategist trait matters

[foggy grove]

i should clarify that raising myrtle is cheaper than ines or silveralt

[sterile delta]

hi max

[brisk surge]

cheaper doesnt mean anything in the long run
if you have ines and you are early game, ines will still be the pick to raise

[sterile delta]

e1 costs between rarities are nearly identical anyways

[brisk surge]

not exactly but its close enough that it doesnt matter

[sterile delta]

sash2 gets the full power of his s2 at e1 and ines gets like 80% of the way there in terms of dp gen

dang it feels weird not having slowmode

[brisk surge]

ines actually has util and is a much better starting unit in a stage than myrtle

[austere skiff]

Ines is infinitely more useful than Myrtle at e1

[brisk surge]

im a huge myrtle fan and i cant even defend this chud of a flagbearer

[foggy grove]

thats because ines is stupidly strong

[elder flume]

But S2 heals and talent also heals

[foggy grove]

also whats this about 4 star agent

[brisk surge]

im going to strangle your rain

4 star agent is shit from an ass

[foggy grove]

i cant read moon runes

[craggy heron]

"If pretty why bad"

[brisk surge]

glasses = low tier

[sterile delta]

snegurochka, no generic agent s1 so she kinda sucks

[limpid ore]

she doesnt have talent before e2

[foggy grove]

oh man the s1 is horrible
her s2 sounds serviceable then i notice she doesnt even get camo or anything

[limpid ore]

s1 is puzzle but cost 2 more SP

[glass monolith]

Main usage - Makes Puzzle look good

[foggy grove]

yeah strange that it shouldve been the opposite lol

[wicked minnow]

i appreciate her hard work

[foggy grove]

is puzzle not good? or people moved to surfer already?

[wicked minnow]

why puzzle when canta and surfer do job

also ines

[brisk surge]

puzzle just isnt good

copers would say stainless

[craggy heron]

her niche is profile decor and avatar

[wicked minnow]

this guy just didnt see him hitting those balls in lone trail or the clouds in the masses travels yet

[brisk surge]

ill hit your balls

wait

[wicked minnow]

[brisk surge]

[narrow pendant]

Max sees enough balls as is

Balls in the casino
All in on red!

[brisk surge]

also why is shileds flaming nian

she gives so much hp to everyone in tactfort

smh

[wicked minnow]

my bad 😭

friendly fire

[hidden axle]

I came I saw I left

[limpid ore]

fire is friendly

[foggy grove]

i didnt even remember how i dealt with kristens balls in lone trail
all i remembered was that they were horrible

[rare jackal]

Lol had to use ptilopsis to setup haruka s2 to beat go-ex-8 on challenge mode

[hidden axle]

[glass monolith]

I just had to make sure Haruka don't get metal pipe dropped by boss. So basically second try

[hidden axle]

I just used a second medic until haruka set up

Said 2nd medic was ng so happy cagebaiting

[foggy grove]

how good is rose salt?

[hidden axle]

Iirc she sees usage in some IS

[foggy grove]

that damage delay thing sounds real juicy

hmm doesnt 50% DR sound cracked
although tbf its not really DR

[hidden axle]

If you think you can use a niche in your strats you can build her in your spare time

[foggy grove]

yea i did get haruka and i heard shes stupid strong

maybe someday

[rare jackal]

Lol took me like five tried to finally not get either my haruka or ptilopsis blown up as soon as i placed them

[foggy grove]

that global attack also kinda works against the boss since i can just bait it with gravel anywhere in the map

[rare jackal]

I kind of followed like a sequence of ptilo haruka then saria mlynar

[foggy grove]

while in non-cm i get blown up if i try to place anyone in front of him

[rare jackal]

And ptilo kept saria and mlynar alive while haruka set up

And vulpi also somewhere in there for dp

[foggy grove]

and the tile behind the boss gets stolen by a lion iirc

[rare jackal]

Tbh i still dont know how the lions work

[foggy grove]

same and i couldnt care less
this might unironically be the worse event for me in almost all aspects

[hidden axle]

🥀 what did this event do to you

[foggy grove]

very bland is probably the most apt description imo

[hidden axle]

Fair enough

Imagine needing to add a boss from 2022-23 to make yojr ex8 stage feel lile an ex sgage

[foggy grove]

hg is amazing that this is the only time ive been really disappointed by an event considering how long theyve been doing this

[teal olive]

can i regen the big dudes hp in M8-6 with thornsalt ?

[glass monolith]

Maaaaybe. Perfumer works

But you want solution for 3 red melee mobs who will murder shields in seconds

[teal olive]

it would be great if i wasnt limited to 4 tiles in the map

but idk i dont make games

[foggy grove]

an idea most ingenious: killing rosmontis with aak and replacing her with fiammetta

[glass monolith]

Jokes for you need to keep 4 clowns AND Ros alive

[wispy condor]

thornsalt/angelina/perfumer.. anyone who can provide regen healing from a distance

[foggy grove]

ofc
its funny tho

wonder if haruka also works

cuz iirc someone showcased a video that she applies bubbles to all allies

even summons

[teal olive]

honestly replacing her for lemuen or smth might be the strat

[foggy grove]

show rosmontis a real artillery

[astral cosmos]

she does

she still won't be able to heal them though

bubbles cap at 20 max existing on the field anyway

[lyric elbow]

Chat thank you, I finally beat GO ex 8 cm 🫃

[lapis hornet]

np

[teal olive]

artunitmaxing

[hazy sinew]

why are you not spreading the tin man gospel

[wind crown]

What's the best squad for is6 ending 3?

[hexed zodiac]

Depends on relics and ops you have available to choose from. Technically with the right relics radian + healer can complete the stage by themselves

[wispy condor]

i figured that was implied in the 'anyone' part

[wind crown]

I'm asking if something like special squad or tianshi bureau squad is better

[wicked minnow]

i dont think it matters too much

your squad isnt going to be the reason you win or lose ed3

[hexed zodiac]

You can pick either but the relics again will determine what wins you the ending fight

[wind crown]

Fair enough

[hexed zodiac]

Also I can say stuff like mylnar but if you don’t have him that won’t matter

Gotta go off what you got

[scarlet fulcrum]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1kG6SYJEG3/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click %hp regen be like, welp its already doable without regen even back then on release

[wanton rover]

On SSS is it generally recommended to go 5 of the main type or are there advisable combos? Like 2aspd + 3atk% or something

[hexed zodiac]

Attack speed then damage are kinda king, I like having a lot of marksman for that reason but SSS isn’t a difficult game mode so you can kinda see what works for you

[wanton rover]

Tbh I've been doing whatever comes to mind and it keeps working, the only one that I'm always aiming at is the healer stack, it's really something

[teal olive]

i cheesed it by using liskarm and ptilopsis as sp batteries for thornalt to constantly shit out s2s

the red melee guys did too much dmg so i took out some of them with lemuen

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh yeah his radius quite far

I just showed u simple clear, doesn't mean u need regen. At all

[teal olive]

my push pull units were not leveled enough and i didnt want to lvl them to do it the normal way

but i greatly appreciate the tips

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea u can do it without regen and shift

If it works it works

[rose sentinel]

Help. would this squad able to clear GO-EX-8?

[vital arrow]

whres the krooster link

[hexed zodiac]

we will be using ascalon for the second boss I think we can cope and use haruka worse case that way

[fair estuary]

Hello chat im In need of help on CM mode
I did it whit this but man

[rose sentinel]

ohhh it's the one where I give the token link right, account access something 🙁

[hexed zodiac]

the problem is defeating the first boss

[hexed zodiac]

krooster.com yeah its safe everyone uses it

[hexed zodiac]

again just borrow haruka and there should be no reason you cant complete it

[fair estuary]

Where put?

[hexed zodiac]

bro

where wis is.... for the buff

[fair estuary]

So focus on wis instead of trying to get her sustainable entire team?

[hexed zodiac]

idk what you mean but place haruka where wis is so haruka can hard carry with the buff. use the rest of your ops to kill the rest of the units on grid, also switch hoshi2 to S2 as thats the better sustain skill

[fair estuary]

Is it okay if it isnt m3?

Kk

[mystic hazel]

Can someone help me formulate a strategy for GO-EX-8 I havent even be able to complete the standard stage... https://www.krooster.com/u/right-quartz-arene-1846

If is not possible there is no problem I just miss the medals

[hexed zodiac]

yes its perfectly doable

[vital arrow]

sakiko module where

also so many unraised base workers

[hexed zodiac]

borrow haruka support, place first then sakiko, to kill first boss, then youll be using eyj and surtr ptilo ng silver kal etc to deal with the second one

[unkempt meteor]

Not sure, the gap level between your ops and stage requirement is quite far

[mystic hazel]

nowhere I just came back to the game after 4 years my account is empty of any material or resources

[vital arrow]

the stage requirement is a lie

modless sakiko should be enough for the boss

maybe

just shoot an S3 at the boss and see how much it does

[unkempt meteor]

Well he could kill alistair with sakiko, but i'm afraid saria and the rest won't survive from steam knights

[vital arrow]

https://youtu.be/BsFowfFsFsE?si=dx9650jriFh90vXG

this guy does

[hexed zodiac]

You should be theoretically able to just finish the stage like this

And then win

[fringe solstice]

sakiko is so op thorns hasn't charged his skill yet

[hexed zodiac]

I actually forgot I placed him

his sakiko will be weaker then mine bc no masteries or mod so the throns will be there to help deal with the flying turrets

[fringe solstice]

I feel like 4 medics is overkill but a win is a win

[hexed zodiac]

gotta make it fool proof when hes lacking masteries and mods idk

[young cairn]

Sorry, i see so many medics and i just think of surtr hospital

[fair estuary]

Ppl still use that?

Then again who am I to talk im still using Texas and mytrel combo

[elder flume]

everything is still being used

[mystic hazel]

Thank you so much man I will try it rn

[mystic hazel]

I have a problem as soon as I drop my sakiko she dies due to the boss hitting her and the slingshot guy then killing her I can delay this by activating haruka 2nd skill after the intial dmg but the she dies again

[elder flume]

max trust ?

[mystic hazel]

10%

[elder flume]

theres your reasoning

bait the attacks with bodies

Phantom S1 if you have to

[mystic hazel]

ok I kinda have that under control but my other problem is I kill everything but not in time. the boss always insta kill me with his skill

im not meeting the dps check

idk

[elder flume]

use Lapp then

extend the timer

[mystic hazel]

Never thought of that omg

ill try it out

[hexed zodiac]

sorry was away, lmk if that works

youre surtr should be used when the second box makes his way down to the left side of the map. you should be able to redeploy surtr again to finish him off

[mystic hazel]

It worked

[mystic hazel]

It Workedd!!! tysm now Im goint to try the EX shoud not be that different

I think

[hexed zodiac]

oh i did it on challenge mode so uhhh you should be fine

[mystic hazel]

I GOT IT!! Thank you all so much

Unnecessary media in strategy

[tender orbit]

sorawow

[azure roost]

[tepid bear]

how do yall open on the go-ex-8? i hate the boss hitting everyone i put down

[signal vector]

myrtle can tank 1 hit, then put down another vanguard to tank the next hit, then a real chunky dude like idk ulpi or hoshi breacher

[pearl compass]

Deploy the cheap bait between deploying squishy ops

[tepid bear]

can tex alt work as bait

[pearl compass]

Btw there's a comfortable 20 second of idling.

[pearl compass]

Yes

Ofc

[pearl compass]

After battle starts

You idle until drone will fly away and then start deploying

Should have around 30+ DP that way

[tepid bear]

ill try again then

thank you

[azure roost]

use frd for baiting supply drop

ofc find the timing

then do ur usual setup and last deploy defender with no one else to get exploded by supply airdrop aoe

[elder flume]

Time the retreat to avoid gear spawn

[weak gazelle]

ohh new side story from cn
leizi and kestrel skin is peak

[wicked minnow]

me think raidian skin is fire

hope they give her good summons

[weak gazelle]

bet

[azure knot]

How good of a caster is Passenger?
I got him from recruitment and my only good caster is amiya

[pearl compass]

Shit. My condolences.

[azure knot]

Even with his module? 💀

[pearl compass]

Even with module.

The right module.

Mid damage, very high DP cost.

Besides that, does nothing else.

🥹

[azure knot]

The one that erases chain atk damage fall off?

[pearl compass]

Just straight up use better ops.

[pearl compass]

Like the living Caster rn is Logos.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Dont bother with assenger, thats quite nice acc

[azure knot]

Thank you, I have everything besides a good caster so I'm now scrambling to find someone to fit that role, do you have any suggestions?

[azure knot]

Didn't logos rerun a couple months ago on kernal selector?

[pearl compass]

Logos is new op, so he won't be in Kernel sooner.

Catch him in Orientied Banner.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Casters not favored with that amounts phys and arts, u better raise ur good ops first

Whats ur roster looks like rn

[azure knot]

I see, I'll try to look up a chart and see when's his next orientation

[pearl compass]

Tomorrow.

[hexed zodiac]

Wut

[glass monolith]

First shoperator is 2 years after release. Kernel is like 4 years behind. Non shoperator rate ups / orientation banner and other stuff is beyond my scope. And he won't be 180 gold cert on them anyway

[azure knot]

Like this except Everyone is e2 lvl 60 now and replace Texas with Surtr.
I don't have any arts damage problems as leizi takes care of that, it's just the unit type of a caster im looking for

[scarlet fulcrum]

Pramanix alter banner soon, if u can wait. Wang is there 3 months later

[azure knot]

Oh hell nah, I'm saving for Wang in that case 💀

[glass monolith]

Lemuen does so much physical damage already. Just Lemuen them

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah just stick with phys, surtr and leizi can fill arts. Mon3tr can fill with true dmg

Lemuen phys just, what is arts moment

[azure knot]

Ah right, I forgot to mention but I do have the entire ave mujica set now, I still haven't built them because I got no idea how the notes work and because the entire comp seems like a theory nightmare

[pearl compass]

IW cups and vases:

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yeah sure she is another option for ur dps

[azure knot]

I'm pretty sure they can do arts damage but then I'd have to build a second team which I'm completely unfamiliar with

[scarlet fulcrum]

Build sakiko then ignore the rest

[azure knot]

I see, thank you for the advice

[scarlet fulcrum]

s3m3 and mod2 atleast

But id priority leizi first xD

[azure knot]

Xd

[viral ridge]

is phase 2 patriot still gonna oneshot everything or can like, e2 cuora tank it? stumped on 7-18

[scarlet fulcrum]

Phase2 most defender can tank it, no more multi hit scale bs

[viral ridge]

sweet lemme go try that

[elder flume]

How much is it again

1920

[pearl compass]

Phase 2 loses the X4 strong attack, so he became much more stallable.

[elder flume]

Plus 96 dps hm

[pearl compass]

I'm pretty sure Cuora with good heal can stall him for some time.

[scarlet fulcrum]

Most defender means cuora there

Just kill him in that state tbh, stats became weaker too

[viral ridge]

i can't get him to die before reaching the middle column

at which point he just nukes my healers when he walks by

[weak gazelle]

his p2?
well read, but tldr he throw spear to furthest ops from him (ranged tile only)

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea his spear target furthest ranged tile from his position

U can just either use meele dps, or bait then dps. Or just borrow its not farm node

[weak gazelle]

so yeah that can be an issue
to counter it....not using ranged ops at all is another option

back in the old days we bring 12f as bait (good bait)

[scarlet fulcrum]

thats like ppl malding with no gacha acc

[weak gazelle]

idk for now, since i believe current dps are far potent than old days

[weak gazelle]

so ture

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea wisadel have free bait too

[weak gazelle]

oh yeah her turret
that thing is fat as fuck

[pearl compass]

Wisadel is soloing his ass off moveover.

Both phases.

[weak gazelle]

anyway just random intermezzo
where bellone kit?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Most likely tmr

[pearl compass]

Not released

[weak gazelle]

his module is chong or mountain one?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Or day after tmr, cause 6*

[weak gazelle]

oh should be later yeah

i will take it easy
fighter is kinda.... how do i say it underwhelmed maybe

[scarlet fulcrum]

Both have 2 mods 👀

But its modY

[weak gazelle]

ohh
idk, i tho fighter already have 2 type of mod

its clear as fuck i ignore their existence (fighter)

[scarlet fulcrum]

Demetri surely not will become demerit

All that matter is siracusa lore

[weak gazelle]

hahaha
demerit, truly funny if it turn out like that

[scarlet fulcrum]

Still no clear kit, and numbers

[weak gazelle]

yeah wait
at least we have something new to talk about in next 2 days

really bored now
not in the mood to grind IS5 firework core
nor do i have intention to start IS6 either :icant:

[scarlet fulcrum]

Start is6, dlc1 almost here

[hexed zodiac]

IS6 is fun tho

[hidden axle]

When demetri dropping

[hexed zodiac]

I can’t remember

^ gonna hear that joke for months

[hidden axle]

[plucky flint]

mountain powercreep ril

[hexed zodiac]

But actually don’t know

[scarlet fulcrum]

10th march

[weak gazelle]

just time issue tbh
see if i have time and motivation to start IS6 in the future
rn because its pre-expan and everything revolved around raidian i didnt play it

[hidden axle]

Time to get demetri pfp

[hexed zodiac]

Challenge yourself to complete it without raduan, honestly the endings don’t need raduan at all

[scarlet fulcrum]

Finish expand first fr fr

[hexed zodiac]

Ending 3 can kinda be cheesed with radian tho since it bypasses the most annoying hp burn mechanic

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh wait expand2

Bruh auto correct

[hexed zodiac]

Hp burn doesn’t affect radians summons

[weak gazelle]

lol

idk
initial tho is play caster centric but it look pepega

maybe go back to specialist slave :ya:

[hidden axle]

I just do unga bunga

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ed5 specialist slave frfr

[hexed zodiac]

Caster + specialist is fine, like Ethan lapalt shine in IS6 due to their innate hit count

[weak gazelle]

dont have lappy2🥀

[hexed zodiac]

Borrow🥀

[weak gazelle]

lappy2 e1 works?

[hexed zodiac]

Not really

[weak gazelle]

🥀

or play NI centric when mantra released :clueless:

[scarlet fulcrum]

Freeze emu with trag fr

[weak gazelle]

trag, grace, mantra trio
can't go wrong with that idea :icant:

[azure roost]

[hexed zodiac]

Exu2 start is one of the strongest but it’s usually paired with radian you can also start with trag

[azure roost]

huh

[hidden axle]

after maint

[scarlet fulcrum]

10th march if u mean demetri

[hidden axle]

Oh

[azure roost]

ngl i dont have experiences on is6

[hidden axle]

I assimed event

[azure roost]

i just hate how is6 plays

[hidden axle]

[elder flume]

Same

[hexed zodiac]

It’s fun once you get it imo

[elder flume]

Its my least fav

[hexed zodiac]

[azure roost]

is4 still high for me

[weak gazelle]

[azure roost]

is5 goes lower

[hidden axle]

I like is5, so much cool customisation
Amd wish fulfilled node really feels like a wish fulfilled node

[azure roost]

cause expansion shittery

[hexed zodiac]

IS3 is easily worse

[hidden axle]

Real

[azure roost]

i like is3

sorry

[hidden axle]

Wdym 7 out of 11 ops will be frozen for 15s after deployment

[elder flume]

IS2 IS3 is better since youre not locked to just drafting the same ops and can be fucked whenever

[azure roost]

is4 > is3 > is5 > is2 > is6

i just dont like how is6 plays

thats it

[hexed zodiac]

What do you mean 7/11 ops will lose hp until they die and the one medic voucher I got all run got a bad dice roll so I got no medic

[azure roost]

thats why my cn acc is6 bp lvl

is lvl 20

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh yea reserving tickets indirectly to that

[azure roost]

is5 i dropped it because expansion

its make map shittier

[hidden axle]

le is6 giving me medic/vg voucher every time

[weak gazelle]

i hate IS2 the most :ya:
the extra difficulty thing make it worse to play

[azure roost]

i didnt touch it

i know it kekl

[hexed zodiac]

I will say getting up in difficulty in IS6 does show different beginning bosses and layouts which is fun, feels like something new even with diff 14

[azure roost]

oh i prob skip him anyway

ill buy leizi skin doe

[weak gazelle]

not hard by definition, it just like why i try to fooling myself so hard kind of experience :icant:

[scarlet fulcrum]

May almost here yea lmao

Less than 2 month until anniv

[azure roost]

@hexed zodiac its not even on lvl 20 lmfao

ye is5 at 79 because expansion shittery

[hexed zodiac]

The one downside to IS6 is it wants to you path very specifically for each floor unless you really break the game with kettles then you can do whatever you want

But there’s a lot of relic pick ups and manipulation at the very start which is like crafting what your run will look like

Like I can start with half a dozen caster relics and know I need to lean into casters this run

[azure roost]

[azure roost]

this too

i dont like it

[stoic grove]

aloo is there a way to more consistently find the decision node for ending 2 in IS6 i've bricked 9999 highroll runs because i can't find the damn node

[hidden axle]

Uh

5x5 around center node

That's it really

[stoic grove]

[hexed zodiac]

That’s actually not too bad it’s usually after a doubt node I’ve found. Then you can cheese the requirement to bring the foot below 50% hp by entering bonsky and doing the combat missions there since if you fail them it doesn’t matter so you just focus down the foot and ignore the stage

[hexed zodiac]

That’s just unfortunate 😭

Also you don’t have enough ingots (30) to guarantee the relic

[hidden axle]

I been finding it after turmoil nodes

[hidden axle]

Me when I do a regular mission run and not a monthly mission run

[stoic grove]

i already got it but i don't have any combat nodes and right after this bosky is the prophecy node

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah need to get it on floor 4 since bonski usually appears on floor 5 and you can path to it yeah

[wanton rover]

Which one should I focus first for e2, Surtr or SAsh?
I like that Sash can hit from behind a tank and take care of himself with s2 and also remove invisibility from enemies ☀️
Meanwhile Surtr's suicide button sounds annoying but sometimes all we need is an immortal nuker 🔥

[scarlet fulcrum]

SA first

I remember u have hoshialter, surtr can wait

[hexed zodiac]

SA wants mod lvl 3 btw

[unique grove]

trying to complete my first ending, what is my strategy here

[wanton rover]

The feeing I'm having is that SA, Surtr and etc they all require a lot of investment but will not be as impactful as Ho2hi or Saki

[hidden axle]

Should've asked before starting the stage

[hexed zodiac]

That’s bc they are much older ops compared to hoshi2 and sakiko but still good to add to your current team

[hidden axle]

Is raidian on s1 by any chance

[hexed zodiac]

Do you have radian S1?

[hidden axle]

Surely liskarm can stall him while being bombarded left amd right, right?

[hexed zodiac]

This could be either fine or cooked IS run 😭

[unique grove]

uhh

shes s2

i think

[hexed zodiac]

What diff

[hidden axle]

Gotta be d0

Since they asking

[unique grove]

yes

[hexed zodiac]

Oh then you’re fine

Hold on

[hexed zodiac]

Place radians summons like this

When you have 4 and the boss appears activate raduan skill

Set up defense in the bottom left

[unique grove]

so itll be beanstalk and raidian, and then wait for dp and placeall the summons

[hidden axle]

Do they kniw boss nechanics

[hexed zodiac]

Sure

[unique grove]

kind of

[hexed zodiac]

Doesn’t matter they can just brute force with summons

[signal vector]

Stall the guy top center, or burst him dead right off the bat

[wanton rover]

25 life is a lot too, it's going to be fine as long as right doesn't overwhelm the stairs on the left

[hexed zodiac]

Radio has come a long way

[unique grove]

thats how all my previous runs ended

[hidden axle]

[unique grove]

i have 25 life this time tho

[unique grove]

thats a lot of dp

i dont know if i can set up fast enough

[hexed zodiac]

Place wisadel on tile 2 facing up

Worse case scenario she will finish off boss

[unique grove]

the bombs wont kill her

riggt

right

because of her summons

[hidden axle]

They will

[hexed zodiac]

You should kill long before

[signal vector]

They will ye

The bombs are annoying

[hexed zodiac]

Arts damage bombs

[unique grove]

if it comes to worse case i will have gravel tank for wisadel

[hidden axle]

retreat summons no splash dmg ez

[signal vector]

Hoshi the breacher kinda trivalizes it though
Thanks to her tenacity

[hidden axle]

S2 solo

[signal vector]

Fr fr

[hidden axle]

Till what diff tho

[hexed zodiac]

S2 yeah so nice at high diff + monster

[signal vector]

I'm at D10 and she's still going strong

[hidden axle]

[unique grove]

okay

[hexed zodiac]

It gets worse 🚬

[unique grove]

im going to attempt

wish me luck

[hexed zodiac]

Get to top most summon down first then the rest

[wanton rover]

You got this 🔥 good luck

[unique grove]

he appeared before i could get her skill or all her summons down

erm

[hallow magnet]

How would I clear this type of stage with this team

[hidden axle]

Erm she has almost hit the sp cost

[unique grove]

only getting half damage tho

two summons are already dead

[hexed zodiac]

This is my fool proof monster hoshi2 set up with the x for monster summon to extend the healing outside her range

[hexed zodiac]

Pause take screen shot send here

[hexed zodiac]

Oh…oh no your radiant is E1?

[unique grove]

yes

im doing d0 still

so no e2

[signal vector]

Tbh I dont usually use mon to sustain hoshi, if I have that relic that gives 20% tes to defenders I'll just leave hoshi there with like 90 res when she's low health
Or if I have to sustain hoshi I'll just use haruka

Higashi's within yan right?

[hidden axle]

Have you tried attempting

[hallow magnet]

This type of comp just falls apart and I have nowhere to play dps units if none can reach in front of the defensive units

And when they die the others just get steam rolled

[hexed zodiac]

Ok this might be a little cooked, worse case you start a new run and borrow a friends maxed radian and use them (you can borrow mine)

For now you don’t want the boss moving any lower so you’ll use summons and gravel to stall, wisadel and typhoon to kill from as far away as possible

[hidden axle]

Fang is not meant to take big hits, place saria in her place
And insert a specter somewhere for dmg as well

[hallow magnet]

Of course

[unique grove]

do i have time to do that before the bombs spawn?

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah I just like the attack speed buff monster gives for more comfy hoshi2

[signal vector]

Oh ye forgot about the aspd

Pocket king's new lance fr fr

[hallow magnet]

But saria is alot more expensive

[hexed zodiac]

Just wait and see if you see the boss moving to the right don’t do anything if you see them move down start stalling

[hidden axle]

Change deploy order/delay deploying some ops to deploy her
And is your fang not printing dp or wut

[unique grove]

i think leonhardt is better than typhon here too if i want to kill him probably

[hidden axle]

They have liskarm btw worst case

[unique grove]

hes e2 s2

[wanton rover]

See which lane is coming first and start with Fang to generate some dp. Yato for the second coming lane and Noire on the third. Snipers on the sides to help yato and fang and eventually substitute Yato for Beagle. Put the healers when you can to help the tanks and I suppose that's it
Makes sense?

[unique grove]

res shred + wisadel

[hallow magnet]

No?

The dp gen is not that fast

[hidden axle]

What is yoir fang's skill level

[hallow magnet]

The default?

[hidden axle]

She isnt the best dp generayor for sure but it shouldn't be this bad

[hexed zodiac]

If you keep the boss in that top tile you can safely hit him with your sakiko if you place her where your last summon is

[hidden axle]

...lvl 1?

[hallow magnet]

Yea

[hidden axle]

...

[wanton rover]

Wait, or even level in general
Could you send a screen shot of your squad?

[hallow magnet]

I havent leveled any skills

[hidden axle]

Why

[unique grove]

oh.. hes already right side

also.. sawmill?

[hexed zodiac]

Sakiko auto correct

[hallow magnet]

I didnt think I had to yet

[hexed zodiac]

Right side is fine I’m assuming you have S3 sakiko right

[hidden axle]

Well now you know

[hexed zodiac]

Just don’t let him move down

[hidden axle]

Actually

[hidden axle]

Place specter in fang's place in the first pic

[unique grove]

hes already on right side

[hallow magnet]

Whenev I used my saria first I had to scramble to get rangers first or else a slug would hit the blue and then manage that + more defenders

[unique grove]

if i keep him there i can still hit him with leonhardt

[hallow magnet]

And even when I get a full line of rangers, a healer and the 3 defense units they get killed

[hallow magnet]

Qnd where should I place fang, in front?

[hexed zodiac]

Put typhoon there and sakiko here, stall him with summons and all your melee ops do not let him go lower

[vernal valley]

Is there a reason you're focused on doing CE stages

[hexed zodiac]

Let all the enemies leak until you’ve finished your set up on the boss

[hallow magnet]

I dont want to waste sanity

So I want to be able to do high level resource missions

[vernal valley]

CE stages aren't known for their sanity value

[hidden axle]

Use her to deal with the first few enemies, let her print dp then retreat her to make space for next ops
When you choose to retreat is upto you, be it at the very first or after deplpying some more.ops

Retreating operators not from merchant subclass refunds half the dp cost btw

[hallow magnet]

Then what is the best way to dump sanity earlygame?

[unique grove]

my run is cooked, wisadel got one shot to bombs

[hidden axle]

Gathering reources to raise base slaves

[unique grove]

i guess i try again

[vernal valley]

If I had to pick I probably go for chips to e1 units or base building stuff

[hallow magnet]

Hmm

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah you don’t place ops across from the boss only way below or above

[hidden axle]

They definitely didn't know about boss mechanics

[hexed zodiac]

It’s ok just borrow a radian that’s built from a friend. They are busted when maxed

[unique grove]

over wisadel tho?

[hexed zodiac]

Wisadel isn’t as good in IS as she is in other modes still great but radian is literally built for it and will hard carry you out of low def if she’s maxed

[unique grove]

so raidian gravel beanstalk support

ill try again

[hexed zodiac]

Sure

Radian Ethan beanstalk is better

[hallow magnet]

I cant seem to upgrade by base anymore currently

[vernal valley]

Then story stages to reach the item for your cc

[unique grove]

i dont even know what ethan does

tbh

[hidden axle]

S1 arts dot for hitcount enemies

[unique grove]

there are hitcount enemies?

[hexed zodiac]

Aoe arts burn

[unique grove]

i know nothing about this game huh

[wanton rover]

First you could aim to reach the first stages that get you the Keel (for base upgrade)
1-1 and 1-8 (3-4 and 4-7 later)

[hallow magnet]

Im p sure ive alr done those

[vernal valley]

Then what are you missing for base upgrades

[hexed zodiac]

Your priority is to E2 your borrowed radian asap btw. Whatever you have to do to make it happen

[unique grove]

makes sense

[hallow magnet]

I dont know, nothing is showing as cleanable or upgradeable

[wanton rover]

Could you send a pic of your base?

[hallow magnet]

Oh wait I think I was looking in the wrong tab

Seems I gotta go build mode for upgrades too, I thought itd also show up in its own overview

[hidden axle]

Bro spent mats for activity room

Are you not following any base guide

[hallow magnet]

Should I?

[hidden axle]

Have another '...' reaction

[hallow magnet]

I havent followed anything except the pinned teambuilding image

[hidden axle]

Guides are made for newbies like you, you are not forced to follow them but if you struggle/take longer than others don't blame us

[hallow magnet]

Thought itd be a bit more linear but alr

[hidden axle]

Stop thinking fr, that's the second time in 5 mins your thinking was flawed

[vernal valley]

The linear path the game lays out is objectively bad

[hidden axle]

Actually more than 15 mins nvm

[wanton rover]

Oh, a very important note. Avoid upgrading the Reception Room and the Office (you will build it later). You can't downgrade them later, it's a permanent decision and can hurt the optimization of resources

[hallow magnet]

[wanton rover]

Leave the Reception Room upgrade decision for way later after you have a better knowledge of how things work

[vernal valley]

The #r-i-i-c pins has a guide for base setup

[hallow magnet]

I see 6 years of streamlining has indeed not streamlined

[vernal valley]

The game itself hasn't streamlined anything. The community has made guides to streamline

[wanton rover]

Office is strongly advisable to never upgrade anyway (you don't really gain much from it and uses a lot of energy)

[hallow magnet]

Doesnt it let you choose criteria when recruiting?

[hidden axle]

I don't think any game has optimal tutorials in-game
If a player is inefficient more chances for them to spend money (considering gacha games)

[wanton rover]

Tbf the new player's mission path is really good, the one that leads to Texas. It has a lot of correct early directions

[sterile delta]

except for the one that bricks your reception room

[vernal valley]

Except for the one that is account damage yeah

I'm honestly baffled what game you're playing where players have choices but the game streamlines you into an optimal one

[wanton rover]

I mean, the base energy optimization came from the community, I suppose it wasn't even on their original vision to not have a max right

[vernal valley]

You can choose tags for recruit no matter what level your base part is. It's about how many slots you have and you don't need more than 2

[hallow magnet]

So is the office just for rerolling available tags?

[wanton rover]

It also opens up more recruitment slots. The math has been done enough times to show that getting more slots makes you burn Permits faster thn the intake, which isn't really worth it by any means

[vernal valley]

And hr just opens more slots for borrow which is also fairly useless

[hasty minnow]

hold on brotato, for ed1, tragodia is a better borrow

[hexed zodiac]

When you don’t have a raised radian yeah. Borrowing a maxed radian makes it brain dead though

That was the strat when the IS6 first dropped and no one had a maxed radian

[hasty minnow]

really? Damn let me try it out.

[hexed zodiac]

Keep in mind this is diff 0 we are talking about

I liked using trag radian from diff 3-6 then exu radian from 7 and up

[unique grove]

should i be taking every opportunity to enter sui's remnant conciousness instead of saving the 3 candles

[hexed zodiac]

3-6 bc the game gives you a maxed radian asap a temp op

[hexed zodiac]

If you pathed to it usually yes especially the first one. Spend your life points at a shop first to get relics then get your lp back at the receive nodes and as you level up.

[hasty minnow]

whast the strat with raidian? s2 spam ability and insta die?

[hexed zodiac]

Around floor 3? You want to spend your vouchers if you haven’t already at the special nodes tho

[hexed zodiac]

S2 spam for the beginning, you can mix in S3 for select rooms and as you go to the end on high dif you’re using S1 a lot as you draft high damage ops. For diff zero tho you can pretty much spam S2 especially at the end to kill the Ed 1 boss

Funny thing is S2 works really well in ending 3

[shrewd geode]

First entry you want to go in and grab recruitment vouchers from the shop so that floor 2 you can get the ops you want super cheap

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah start of floor 2 you can spend them

Once you unlock the trag radian start your can S1 radian S2 trag rob the shop on floor 1 without leaking

So you buy then refresh it with the starting coupons and rob then go to bonsky node and spend life points for more relics

[hasty minnow]

huh, thats interesting. I'ma try it before saying anything concrete, but in my head, it still sounds better to rec tragodia as thats probably the strat they are going to use for later difficulties untill 7 and ed2 and ed3.

[hexed zodiac]

You need radian to solo kill the ending 1 boss anyways for proficiency unlock It’s always been perfectly doable

[hasty minnow]

wait i might have already done this than

Ill take your word for it tbh

[hexed zodiac]

Honestly raidian did basically nothing for ending 2 boss except lure the foot stomp. Exu2 or Wisadel killed the boss

Actually I can’t remember if I really used her

Placed ascalon on the left side and forgot about it, placed melee ops in the middle killed with exu2?

[shrewd geode]

I paused playing the game for years when those 2 released... Gotta wait 6 months to get new hyper carry cheat characters 😔

[hexed zodiac]

Exu2 is so cute tho 🥀

[hasty minnow]

meanwhile the og exu is an actual bum

[shrewd geode]

Best I got is... OG W

[hexed zodiac]

#help message
at least you didn’t purposefully skip everything between yu and sash alt just to pot 6 sash alt

[shrewd geode]

oof

[daring escarp]

What are the requirements for the h15-4 to start second wave?

[hexed zodiac]

Isn’t it attacking the guy with the big hp bar

Might be after the robot revives for the first time tho

[unique grove]

@hexed zodiac he pathed left this time so i got cooked

[hexed zodiac]

Why didn’t you ping us before starting the fight?

Did you borrow someone’s maxed radian or just sorta high level radian?

[unique grove]

honestly it was already going to be a cooked run anyways, i went into it with 8 lp

[unique grove]

yes lvl 90

[hexed zodiac]

Lvl doesn’t matter I mean did they have lvl 3 mod and all the masteries

[unique grove]

err

i dont remember

[cinder vector]

err

[hexed zodiac]

😭

[cinder vector]

borrowed radian is like

bad

[hexed zodiac]

Diff zero

[cinder vector]

ah

why not just uh

trag/exu2 borrow then

wheelchairs ♿

[hexed zodiac]

Doesn’t have either but he’s using liskarm to block the ending one boss

I figured maxed radian could just solo it

Gotta do that for proficiencies anyways

He can try trag borrow but won’t have radian start too bc it’s diff zero, exu imo

[hexed zodiac]

How was getting to the final boss with maxed radian? Was it smooth? If you played it differently do you think you could win the last fight?

[unique grove]

it was painful because i got saki late and typhon was really hard to use

[hexed zodiac]

How did the boss move left? Did your blocker die?

[unique grove]

yeah raidians summon died

[hexed zodiac]

You can immediately place another where it died to keep stalling the boss there or another melee ops

[unique grove]

well

i didnt have the dp to stall both the boss and left side

i had 8 life points

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah I’d have to look at your squad

Did you take a look at your friends radians masteries

You can borrow mine if theirs isn’t complete

[cinder vector]

LP doesnt matter if u dont leak

[unique grove]

need dp to make sure theres no leak

[cinder vector]

u have no myrtle?

[hexed zodiac]

Gotta recruit a flag then I guess yeah

[unique grove]

im using beanstalk for main vg

[hexed zodiac]

You starting the game with +2 hope and +20 ingots?

[unique grove]

uhh wdym

by starting

[hexed zodiac]

At the very start of the game you select starting bonuses

[unique grove]

i picked the very first one

[hexed zodiac]

You can cheese a good start by getting 20 extra ingots and going to the first floor shop, if you have good relics to choose from buy them all if not restart run

First shop will a lot of extra ingots and you can refresh the shop too

[unique grove]

im pretty sure i cant refresh yet

[hidden axle]

Do you remembee tbe guy who had an unlucky wonderland floor

[hexed zodiac]

Immediately after go to bonsky node and go to shop first spend life points and recover them with the other nodes

[hidden axle]

I had even unluckier map just now

[hexed zodiac]

Maybe yeah, ok no refresh unlocked but can still cheese the shop

[hexed zodiac]

My floor one shop had “enemies take 40% more arts damage”

[hidden axle]

I got end of times once

Bad day for cannot's business

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah that starting strat is good too bc you really don’t have the luxury to path to a future shop node

[hidden axle]

No I mean I got that in f1 shop

still lost the run cuz I forvot about aoe burn circle enemies in a f5 stage and everything died

[hexed zodiac]

The one with the plants that eat your ops right

[hidden axle]

Yeah

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah I’m sure that’s a run killer for newbies 100% of the time 🥀

[hidden axle]

Also had sui foot

[hexed zodiac]

I try my hardest to avoid combat and enter a bonsky node to cheese it

[hidden axle]

Was trying to save my lp asw since I had nothing for left lane
So I was erm I-hope-this-work-deplpying and yeah ggs

[hexed zodiac]

There’s one map I just recently learned to cheese

It’s the one everyone avoids on floor 5 I think

Forgot its name

[hidden axle]

I got the relic on f4 so I had to make the most of my remaining nodes

[hidden axle]

A furniture stage?

Exemplary service?

[hexed zodiac]

It’s the one with 4 high ground tiles in a square in the middle with op eating plants that walk around it

And the bushes that prevent your ranged ops in the upper right from attacking past them

[hidden axle]

I think I haven't encountered it , I do have a few untouched maps on f5

[hexed zodiac]

You can place S2 radian summons in those bushes apparently

I’m trying to find it to see how it works

[hidden axle]

Btw I think we might get a client soon

H8-4

[hidden axle]

Yeah never played

Actually I think I never got this as a node option either

[sleek flame]

Came across that stage

[hexed zodiac]

The enemy I circled is on every X tile except middle and the plants walk around the yellow outer tiles

Apparently you can pull radian summons in the bushes in the upper right

[hidden axle]

Oh sisyphus guy

[signal vector]

ah this

[hidden axle]

Nvm I think I did play it once and got cooked

[signal vector]

ngl I played it a few times and all went well

probably cause I have every possible atk buff relics but ya know

[glass monolith]

I love how IS6 give you option to walk away or kill your run and i happily kill my run

[hexed zodiac]

Always choose the most difficult option

[hidden axle]

Atleast you get the option

[sleek flame]

The only relic I never get but want is that one that reduces deployment time for summons, really buffs trag

[hidden axle]

"Here have a furni stage with no furni counter"

[hexed zodiac]

Damn I got the “+2 sp when your defenders are attacked” hoshi2 is all I need for ending one

[hidden axle]

You mean tongbao?

[hidden axle]

pls lend me this luck for relics

[sleek flame]

There was tongbao for that??

[hidden axle]

I get caster relixs when my only caster is e1 click

Yes

Law and ritual

[sleek flame]

Ah

That’s for allies

I think

[hexed zodiac]

Cat spam yeah

[sleek flame]

Yeah

[hidden axle]

Summons don't count?

[hexed zodiac]

Paired with -10 dp for summons and its free spam

[sleek flame]

That’s my only chance of winning is6

Oh

It’s called Geist binding rope

I just found it on a f1 shop lol

[unique grove]

@hexed zodiac can i use your raidian

[sleek flame]

I unfortunately cannot use a support guard yan operator, oh well

[hexed zodiac]

I actually had to flip my coins for ending 3 bc I got a coin that said for every shield I had I gained 5% more hp for all my ops but for ending 3 you have a relic that -2% total hp for all your units for 60 seconds so with 15 shield i literally didn’t have enough healers to keep my ops alive 🥀

[hexed zodiac]

or should i save

[sleek flame]

On f3 rn

The boss is revered duke..

[limpid ore]

technically gravel can survive more hits than red due to her skills

[sleek flame]

I have no idea how to deal with him btw

[limpid ore]

gotta bait his fishing rod

[sleek flame]

But how

I’m gonna need to get trag

But he’s just gonna get fished

[limpid ore]

fast-redeploy or summoner summon

it targets last deployed

[sleek flame]

Oh.

I have no summoners (except trag) and no fast redeploy

[hexed zodiac]

Don’t spend extra hope for Projekt red

[hexed zodiac]

Deploy S2 radian summons facing him then try to blitz him down with skill activation. That’s what I do

I don’t know your team though

You can S3 it

As long as you have enough melee ops to also defend blue box

[sleek flame]

I actually just got trag+purestream to stall his death

I unfortunately didn’t get to recruit radian since no hope

I should be at a pathfinder

[unique grove]

dude..

theyre all bad ones too

[hexed zodiac]

Wait have you already checked the shop?

You have max hp

[unique grove]

yes

[hexed zodiac]

So you recovered all your hp

[unique grove]

i spent there the first time

[unique grove]

yes

[hexed zodiac]

Oh this is second?

[unique grove]

this is second yeah

[hexed zodiac]

Go to doubts, and see if any option is available

[unique grove]

one to spend 5 ingots

or have 50

[hexed zodiac]

Doubts don’t cost candles if you leave without choosing an option

Spend

[unique grove]

and i have no flower tokens

[hexed zodiac]

That’s fine

[unique grove]

[hexed zodiac]

Ingots don’t really matter after first shop since you really shouldn’t be pathing to shops anymore

What did you get

[unique grove]

yeah i got cooked

[hexed zodiac]

Flower I guess

[unique grove]

well theyre all balance so i lose either way

[hexed zodiac]

Now go back into the shop and use your coupon to refresh the shop and spend more life points

[sleek flame]

Got past duke

[unique grove]

theres no option to refresh

[hexed zodiac]

Really….maybe that was an unlock option? Well doesn’t matter you didn’t have other choices

It’s ok keep going

What relics do you have so far

[sleek flame]

And I got my ah cooked

[sleek flame]

Should I use radian as my support in my team or trag

[hexed zodiac]

Fantastic starting relic

[unique grove]

yep i figured

[hexed zodiac]

Anything else that buffs summons is what you’re hunting for yeah. Try to get some candle guiest especially radian before going back into bonsky if possible

If you clear out all those combat nodes in bonsky that’s a lot of rewards sitting there

[sleek flame]

Who could I do

[unique grove]

block suggestions?

[hexed zodiac]

I got this as my mid floors boss new bosses when you hit higher diff

[sleek flame]

Oh

[hexed zodiac]

(I actually prefer this over fisherman)

[sleek flame]

I’m going for trag ngl

[sleek flame]

If I don’t get that rope relic I’m restarting

[hexed zodiac]

I always do this people do other stuff but they will path that way

Blocks where circles are

[hidden axle]

This guy only appears past a certain diff? No wonder I got this stage only twice

[sleek flame]

Killari do you perhaps have a yan operator that’s a guard

[hexed zodiac]

Wiscoot

4 star

[sleek flame]

Yeah him

[hidden axle]

Windscoot yeah

[hexed zodiac]

I don’t raise him he’s just there to warm bench

[hidden axle]

Guide in #is-station has a windscoot purestream trag start rec

[sleek flame]

Yeah I’m following that

That’s why I was asking

[hexed zodiac]

I don’t have him raised so no reason to borrow mine if you’re asking

[sleek flame]

Ah alr

I didn’t get giest binding rope on f1 do I restart

[hidden axle]

You can get it later

[sleek flame]

Ok

[unique grove]

well my run ended there because i didnt know that theyd spawn 20 things that cant be blocked

[hexed zodiac]

You can get an upgraded fisherman mid floor boss and…..it’s so ass I hate it

Actual bs

[hidden axle]

Fisherman

Enlightenment?

[sleek flame]

Nobody wants to call it revered duke or grand duke

[limpid ore]

aint enlightenment the normal version

[hidden axle]

[sleek flame]

I’m getting so much flower coins wth

[hexed zodiac]

Yeah you save the activation on your S2 summons so radian summons attack with 3 bullets. They are hit count enemies so they don’t care about your damage but the number of hits, you can use Ethan to basically solo all of those 20 enemies that drop that’s why he’s great. Hes a 4 star specialist so if you recruited him instead of gladiia you’d win the stage

[unique grove]

oh gladia was a temp summon

[limpid ore]

i remember getting the grand duke the very first time i fought him

[unique grove]

i was planning to use her on the stages that have cars in them

with the pits

[limpid ore]

with monthly squad dusk

[hexed zodiac]

He’s got multiple of those guys that are spear throwers that lose hp over time behind him on tiles that you can’t place ops on. If he pulls you into him all the spear throwers one shot you or the summons you place around him to kill him

Actual bs

[hidden axle]

yeah I am not that high yet

[hexed zodiac]

I’m sure there’s a way to clear it easy but I’ve only fought him once and I hate him

[limpid ore]

you know what good way to disable the tiles to prevent him from fishing your operator? support device and wulfenite mine

[hexed zodiac]

Spends ingots in shop to buy smoke device instead of “+40% arts damage”

[limpid ore]

untargettable tiles filler

artificer support device
