strategy

[sterile delta]

as long as you get hoshialt down before the first brandguider arrives you'll be okay

my fang is maxed so you might need to get her down earlier but you should have time, i put down hoshialt when i had like 60+ dp

[thick sphinx]

@faint scaffold
I just cut mine up

It's cut soo much I'll be surprised if you are able to understand it 😭
-# I had to to reduce file size 😭

[faint scaffold]

one got pass somehow

[thick sphinx]

Basically check if any new ops are placed
Also keep using melantha skill

I can replace some ops with ascalon and exia

My healers can be replaced with yours

I'm not even using a full squad so add in some extra

Around 41 kills, cancel left deployment

Then focus on right

[sterile delta]

try stacking myrtle and fang there together

[faint scaffold]

i understand the video

[thick sphinx]

YAY!

I didn't waste my time then

[faint scaffold]

its rather easy to understand cuz i have seen videos and see what happened for the most part

[thick sphinx]

Hmm, but I used very low rarity, u should be able to do it very easy. Krooz can be replaced with exusiai too

[faint scaffold]

maybe lol

[thick sphinx]

Go try it again then

[faint scaffold]

i am

[thick sphinx]

Hmm

[thick sphinx]

I tried it, myrtle just dies during to the tiles

And she has a less aap then melantha i think

So without her aspd skill, those blue things stack up pretty quick

[faint scaffold]

dont get perfect

nvm

failed lol

[thick sphinx]

What happened lol

[faint scaffold]

did wrong thing

[thick sphinx]

Wdym?

Which part did u do wrng

[faint scaffold]

had wrong mod on the rolling thing

[thick sphinx]

U can mod the rolling thingy??

Wtf

[faint scaffold]

due to that i leaked

[thick sphinx]

Then try it out again in standard

I did it in the video without any mod sm

[faint scaffold]

the thing from the event, one lets it bounce the other clears

[thick sphinx]

Oh

[faint scaffold]

had wrong wording my bad

[thick sphinx]

Nah it's alr.

[faint scaffold]

then i was too slow lol

didnt place exu fast enough

[thick sphinx]

Then switch her out with krooz

[faint scaffold]

no it was cuz i was slow i could of placed

[thick sphinx]

Ohh, well, ik ur operator can do it cuz I was able to do it

So just try again

[fringe solstice]

The bounce one is op if you can place it in the right spot

can one shot the boss

[thick sphinx]

U can two shot it's phase 1 by two of those rollers.
And then he can just place hoshi alter rin mid and then activate both her and Sakiko skill

Vanilla logos and myrtle he doesnt even need to add in the team

[exotic grove]

my video has been uploading for 20 minutes

[thick sphinx]

I had to crop it to 55mb cuz it was too large smsm

And 3x speed it too 😭

[exotic grove]

no it's a youtube or internet issue

[thick sphinx]

Nono, like idh nitro

[exotic grove]

on my end

[thick sphinx]

Ohh alr

[faint scaffold]

failed cuz hoshi got staggered

and i forgot to sell left

[exotic grove]

yeah just put another person behind her to let her recover

[thick sphinx]

Hmm, the left sell gives u more dp, that's the whole reason lol

[faint scaffold]

just need to remember to sell left

[thick sphinx]

Hmm

Go try it again lol

[faint scaffold]

ill add chestnut for wondering healing for when i sell left

[thick sphinx]

I don't even know what a wandering medic is.
-# well, if it works it works ig

[faint scaffold]

heals alments

[thick sphinx]

Oh

[faint scaffold]

mhm i only have chestnut as a wondering

[exotic grove]

https://youtu.be/dunEFhhvkNs?si=cUEf1k4Cp7GhUzuv

[thick sphinx]

Ohh u were talking abt youtubee

[thick sphinx]

I just cut it up and sent it here in discord LOL

[faint scaffold]

do i sell left side when boss spawns?

[thick sphinx]

Your wish, follow either one

Both methods work

[faint scaffold]

alight

[fringe solstice]

@faint scaffold do you have kroos2?

[faint scaffold]

alright

i do

[thick sphinx]

Kroos (normal) works tho

[exotic grove]

still confused as to what bro is struggling with

[fringe solstice]

kroos2 can stun so you can kill the predators

[thick sphinx]

Yea me too

[faint scaffold]

did it

some leaks mainly due to messing up apprantlly

[thick sphinx]

🎊

[thick sphinx]

Wait u still leaked ?

[faint scaffold]

no not this time

[exotic grove]

[thick sphinx]

TG

Legggoooo

[faint scaffold]

TG?

[thick sphinx]

-# imma go sleep now, it's fucking 3:30 am. I need to go out tmr lol

[faint scaffold]

night and thanks

[thick sphinx]

Thank god 🤣

[thick sphinx]

Yea 💤

[faint scaffold]

mhm

i need to clear 3 more stages at 3 star ahhh

next was too easy i over exstermated it

[hidden axle]

Does that imply you have 2 star clears atm?

[faint scaffold]

nope, none

[hidden axle]

Phew

[faint scaffold]

i need 30 rn

just 2 more to go, stages i mean

[thick sphinx]

So close

[faint scaffold]

now for ns-9

[thick sphinx]

Is that the boss?

Wait, u said there is one more

Meh.

[faint scaffold]

idk about ns-9 first time

did ns-9

[unkempt meteor]

There is no stage called ns iirc

[astral cosmos]

they are referring to sn

[faint scaffold]

my bad

also on sn-10 now

[azure roost]

[thick sphinx]

Nice

[old timber]

Hallo, between base exusiai and fiammetta who's the best choice to e2 first..?

[hidden axle]

Both should have stayed e0 lvl 1

Dont level them any further

[thick sphinx]

Dont e2 either
If you have lemuen pair her with exusiai, if not go check out some more base combos

E2 ing 6stars for solely bose alone is wasteful

[hidden axle]

Dude

Ken

Smh you cooked yesterday but flopped today

Thats exu1

Exu1 sucks in all context

[old timber]

I see thanks, I only have 6 6stars. I'm trying to manage my resources wisely.

[hidden axle]

What

Why are you e2ing for base

That sounds like an uber new account

[thick sphinx]

Hmm wdym?

[hidden axle]

No I was en

[thick sphinx]

Exu1 and lemuen base combo,
Never told him to e2 her

[hidden axle]

[thick sphinx]

Oh

[hidden axle]

Think ppl put lemuen with provisio

Not sure tho

And idk if they even have provisio

[thick sphinx]

I was told to combo exu lemeun and proviso if tp3

[hidden axle]

Yeah

[thick sphinx]

Hmm

-# Mb

[exotic grove]

@fierce narwhal I cleared it with a team similar to yours

it requires some kinda tight timing though
and idk if your monmon has enough atk at her level to pull off my same strat

[broken idol]

Yeah, since you need to time the fire every certain period

[exotic grove]

yeah timing hoshi alt skill was key

and lots of stalling

[wide hare]

What's best faction combos aside sui units?

[fierce narwhal]

I did it with this team(just swap Matsu with Guardmiya!

[glass monolith]

Depends on context. Gnosis IS module Karlan Trade (Steward, Silverash) looks fun

[exotic grove]

oh nice ez claps

[fierce narwhal]

Not EZ at all

[exotic grove]

my team sucked ass because you had to time hoshi alt cycle and monmon s3 perfectly

[fierce narwhal]

Fucking hell I had to stall with the QRD’s to prevent her from leaking, then perfectly time them again to save Sakiko

Stall the dogs and get Hoshi back

Guardmiya returns

And beat The stage

[exotic grove]

guardmiya was designed for this fight anyway

[fierce narwhal]

I BARELY USED HER!

She was a panic button basically

[exotic grove]

s2 lolll

[fierce narwhal]

Helped stall and finish off Talu

[somber falcon]

why are you using s3 when there's not much to hit

[exotic grove]

s3 on who

[somber falcon]

mon3tr

[exotic grove]

to kill talulah?

[plucky flint]

there's sakiko for that but hey it works anyways

[fierce narwhal]

Hoshi and Sakiko handled it for me

[somber falcon]

the guy also has surtr and degen

[exotic grove]

I don't

can't borrow 2 ops at once

[fierce narwhal]

Sakiko just to the top left of the middle stair facing down, skill three from her and manual cancel Hoshi killed Talu

[somber falcon]

even using one would already help

[exotic grove]

but I did it did I not

[fierce narwhal]

Degen can be swapped for any laneholder really, just needs two block and a good amount of damage

[exotic grove]

killing her is not the hard part
the hard part is managing the mobs while the flames are up
once u figure that out the stage is easy

[fierce narwhal]

And Surtr was only needed because I had to stall Talu a ton after phase one

[somber falcon]

well yeah I'm just saying that you're handicapping your example strat

since if you used surtr for example, you can just proc hoshi s3 while fireball is going

[exotic grove]

that's what I did without surtr anyway

[fierce narwhal]

I actually did that as well, Everyone died anyways.

[fierce narwhal]

Maybe I just mistimed it or something but it worked!

[exotic grove]

I just put hoshi in middle, pop skill right before fireballs come in, everything dies, and everyone's back up for round 2

[thick sphinx]

@hidden axle
Im done with all my anihilations, now there is no way to get direct orundum right?

[glass monolith]

Hit 1800 cap? Now sleep. And don't forget daily/weekly missions for combined 1200 per week

[thick sphinx]

Meant that I did all the first time clears for the ones that are unlocked this cycle

Need 13 more pulls and I can speak wisadel

[thick sphinx]

Yea, ik

Oh yea, I have like 360 worth of sanity potions in my depot

Do i use them in ch16 or just for farm?

[glass monolith]

I don't know how big is chapter 16 shop

[thick sphinx]

It's not big at all

Totally from shop and event i was told it was like 100k lmd only

So idk, also i kinda think that might give more

[glass monolith]

Well if you play AK on weekends or plan to one sitting all chapter stages or whatever why use them now

If I had LMD each time stage I want to farm is closed on dead week I would have some

[scarlet fulcrum]

Will use it for crate copium like usual

[glass monolith]

Oh right chapters give mini sanity potions too

[hidden axle]

More sanity to grind

[thick sphinx]

I play everyday 💀

[thick sphinx]

Yea, I'm gonna HOARD those emergency boosters

But iirc they expire

[thick sphinx]

Hmm

[scarlet fulcrum]

I thought u knew

[glass monolith]

What is it with people questioning if they should use sanity potions BEFORE event start instead being like average last minute student and do them on last day before potion/event expire

[scarlet fulcrum]

Literally tmr

[thick sphinx]

Idk, maybe they trying to farm 13 more pulls to be over with it, or maybe they need to farm a few more stages to finish prefarm

Preference rlly

[thick sphinx]

I did know they expire, just don't know how long it takes fr them to expire

[scarlet fulcrum]

U can check the timer

[thick sphinx]

Will do that once ei get my hands on them tmr

[glass monolith]

26 hours 10ish minute. I don't need your timestamp bs, I have clocks

[scarlet fulcrum]

Welp wiki specify the date too

[thick sphinx]

Lol

[thick sphinx]

Wiki also has a countdown

[scarlet fulcrum]

True

[glass monolith]

But will next anni has some statistic collection event counting bear's kill count

[scarlet fulcrum]

So no point spending sanity pot now, except it expire b4 that

[thick sphinx]

All of them have like 12 days left.
Guess I'll spam tmr

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea wait for ch release

[thick sphinx]

Kay.

[wary onyx]

h12-4 help?

[astral cosmos]

showing your squad would be more helpful

[wary onyx]

oh wait

[scarlet fulcrum]

Trag s2 carry the stage

Change it

[wary onyx]

then should i change suzu too

[astral cosmos]

funny how i have all these units but only mon3ter suzu haruka built

doesn't the boss just implode

[wary onyx]

the boss shoots water and it keeps killing my team

I fall apart when the boss become cyclone then explode with water

around 60-ish enemies in iirc

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ulpian can solo top lane with glad talent, want normal medic without her

Bott section just sustain with haruka

[wary onyx]

he cant tho?

[plucky flint]

this stage needs like 3 blockers or I'm remembering a wrong stage?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Explain this then

[wary onyx]

oh its because i destroy the thing that increases your dp

mb then

[scarlet fulcrum]

💀

[wary onyx]

ok thanks

this actually took massive pressure off

[scarlet fulcrum]

Don't mind that pic, iits for help random dude long few months ago

[wary onyx]

since I was allocating logos, haruka, ulpi and glad to top

[wary onyx]

how do you deal with the 2 flying things that spawn there though

[scarlet fulcrum]

U have tragodia, logos and other bs

His cat affect air

[wary onyx]

fair

[scarlet fulcrum]

So change to his s2

[wary onyx]

skill 2?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea, u re on s3

Tragodia

Bunch of units can hit air there

[wary onyx]

ulpi cant solo oof

w/ only gladiia

[scarlet fulcrum]

Is ur gladiia on mod2?

He die from shapeshifter phase 2 ability then

Deploy bait somewhere so boss will eat that unit instead

Less ally in surrounding 8 tiles

[wary onyx]

yeah

[scarlet fulcrum]

U know when the ability trigger right

[wary onyx]

oh

I dont know i just know theres blue glow under my ops

[scarlet fulcrum]

[elder flume]

They eat lonely ops

[pearl compass]

On Phase 2 - 50% HP

[elder flume]

Hates introverts

[pearl compass]

Just deploy whoever isolated within 8 tiles around

And he ates this dude instead

[wary onyx]

also the boss summons stuff too when she explode which is super annoying

massive dmg, like haruka s2 and monster s2 cant outheal

maybe its because i have like 7 ops in 1 clump

[scarlet fulcrum]

Just less her burden ye

[elder flume]

They hate ops next to ops in 4 cardinal direction

[wary onyx]

i see

[scarlet fulcrum]

Deploy in diagonal too that

[light island]

Hi, could anyone give me tips to clear H12-4 ? I've been on it for 2 hours but the Damatzi Cluster keeps kicking my ass

[astral cosmos]

sure slide your squad

[light island]

wait

[astral cosmos]

[light island]

The conversation right above was about H12-4 too lmao

[astral cosmos]

worst case scenario just watch a guide if you haven't already

iirc Kyo had a good one, and there's one with 4* only so it can give you an idea of who to bring to fill each role

though iirc Totter's role was kinda essential in that clear so

[light island]

I've been watching guides but they all use units I don't have 😔 like Ulpianus + Gladiia

[astral cosmos]

i mean you can borrow ulpi and a medic can substitute gladiia

[glass monolith]

Add some fast redeploy bait. Damatzi has skill when each clone does attack at last deployed operator. I don't recall exact numbers but it goes to like 4000-ish (4 physical hits + corrosion proc damage) at max clones so it might nuke some operator at worst timing (skill coexist with phase 2 global aoe)

[light island]

I wish I could get that far into the stage lol

haven't seen them do that attack yet

but I'll keep that in mind

[foggy grove]

what's killing you

[glass monolith]

Well it is attack even phase 1 does, you might have noticed some operator you deployed last building up elemental damage for no real reason. Issue is if you go to 0 def and multiple clones it hurt, alot

I personally used Mlynar with taunt and Quercus for DR to skip thinking about that specific skill.

[light island]

After I bring them to phase 2, everyone just dies

[light island]

I have none :/

I'm borrowing an Ulpianus to take care of the top lane

[glass monolith]

Global skill does damage in + around operators so if they are directly adjusted they get hit twice, on top of drone and elemental damage it kills good

[light island]

Ok I noticed it happens, but only on operators blocking the cluster

no elemental damage on lone operators for some reason

[glass monolith]

I looked up prts in case i missrememeber. Nope he definely has that thing every 20 seconds. You noticing him doing normal attacks on blocker. Skill ignores that and target last deployed/taunt instead

750 physical x number of clones and on 2+ clones it is enough to proc elemental damage

oh wait h stage come with 1.2x enemy stats, so 900 ATK

[light island]

They always target the last unit deployed ?

[craggy heron]

Yes unless the unit have -1 target prio

Like ambusher

[astral cosmos]

or +1 target prio

like bison or vendela

[light island]

I don't get it then because both Hoshiguma (left) and Bagpipe get targeted

[astral cosmos]

i mean isn't damazti multitarget anyway

[light island]

I'm a global player, how could I possibly know that lol

[astral cosmos]

:icant:

[light island]

Anyway I got it

😎

[light island]

Did this by rotating between Nightingale's summons and Gravel and I think that was the thing that helped me the most to beat it. Thanks !

[sleek flame]

I’m kinda stuck on CB-EX5, don’t know where to get the roadblocks

[river atlas]

? Just deploy them from the deployment area

[sleek flame]

Get them as in WHERE do I deploy them

[pearl compass]

Oh yeah, one more

[astral cosmos]

@sand cape what do u need ifrit for

[sand cape]

not "need" but a fair amount of afk guides use her and given i'm looking for afk guides in the first place you can kinda infer that i'm rarely in the mood to meaningfully deviate from what the guides use

and she's basically never in support units

right now for example i did annihilation 11, which was thankfully very simple and i managed to get away with just swapping ifrit for eyja and a a bit of on-the-fly repositioning

(btw holy theresa value, i brought her just because i'm currently farming trust for her and had a free slot but she actually saved my left lane from leaking when specter randomly died through her s2 until i brought specter back)

[elder flume]

youre prob looking at old guide vids

which will heavily use year 1 op

[sand cape]

well yeah, anni 11 is old

and i don't really mind

i actually like it

if it was done with y1 ops, that means because of power creep i am more likely to get away with mistakes when using nominally similar ops

[scarlet fulcrum]

Y0 but yea, that niche also exist

[sand cape]

y0/y1 i don't really know, to me it's just a blanket "old" haha

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ops from launch

[sand cape]

old not bad though, i really wish i had eyja and i'm extremely happy i have angelina

well

"not bad"

they get the job done in the content i play

gotta put up a disclaimer before someone from #help orders an artillery strike on my ass

XD

[scarlet fulcrum]

I think That niche also beat all ch , idr ch 16 tho. Welp its fine enough for general content

[unique grove]

this top lane is making me crash out

what am i meant to do

[sick knoll]

Tactical bubble / cora

[unique grove]

tactical bubble?

[sick knoll]

Someone who can take like 2 charged hits and just have a medic helping out

Maybe also a DPS for when they summon like 3 dudes but yeah

[unique grove]

whos cora

[sick knoll]

Just bring a hook master for bottom left put some DPS at the big choke point they give you (you literally have fia) on the right side then infront of your base setup a defender that can eat hit+ medic

[unique grove]

i had ray and logos up there

[unique grove]

yes i have haruka fiammeta set down there

theres no issue in the lower areas

its the guys that breaks the roadblocks top side

[sick knoll]

They go invis and unless you have Ines or toddler or like this one summoner then you can only block them

[unique grove]

right

[sick knoll]

And the only place in their path that you can block is at the base area

So just get someone who doesn't die in one hit since they do an enhanced hit when coming out of invis

[unique grove]

ill just swap out logos for blaze or something

[sick knoll]

Why not like

The ave Mujica 5 stars

[unique grove]

theyre supposed to be lower side

theyre dead in the ss

[sick knoll]

The entire lower side gets handled by one hook master

Preferably someone with skill charges since they spawn quite a few if I remember right

The hole of doom and despair

[unique grove]

i dont have a hook master unfortunately

im using fiammeta to kill bottom left

[sick knoll]

Should be pretty easy to build one into e1 level 1 with skill level 4

[unique grove]

ave mujica members everywhere else

planning to blaze + mon3tr blue box

then maybe drop ray and put logos to help bottom right side

[sick knoll]

You can just fia the bottom right side

Fia s3

[unique grove]

then nobodys looking at left side no?

i have typhon looking there right side

[mighty pagoda]

mudrock can solo top lane

[sick knoll]

Just get a hook master 😔

[sick knoll]

Unless they borrow they don't really have Murdock

[mighty pagoda]

they can borrow

[elder flume]

Haruka doesnt solo left side without Fia ?

[unique grove]

shes only 1 block

so no

[mighty pagoda]

i want to try wakaba to solo the top, surely she can

[sick knoll]

Why don't we just invest a hook master and just chill

The bottom left just gets forgotten

[elder flume]

how fast is left side spawnrate if puller wins but Haruka doesnt

[sick knoll]

And the entire right side gets obliterated by monstr+ fia

Like you need like 6 units tops

[sick knoll]

I remember they spawn like multiple at some point I raised gladia so it didn't matter much

[unique grove]

at some point its fast enough that even with fiammeta helping they can still hit that roadblock

lol

[hidden axle]

Which stages guys

[unique grove]

annihilation mountain-ringed border town

[hidden axle]

Mountain ringed is uhhh chongus event right

[sick knoll]

Yes

[hidden axle]

Kyo/ecko guides not helping?

[sick knoll]

Not sure don't think they tried that

[elder flume]

idk

Raidian S3 can just keep blocking invis first hit

i feel like theres a drone but i cant find it

[unique grove]

you were here for me and my is6 struggle right

i dont have e2 raidian

[hidden axle]

No drones in that stage

[elder flume]

uh just cycle ranged ops so block doesnt die ig

only first invis hit hurts

[unique grove]

at some point logos gets one shot

lol

[elder flume]

yea

[unique grove]

im trying blaze mon3tr

[elder flume]

April is ideal but shes Kernel

havent tried Blaze2

[sick knoll]

What website is this

[south spindle]

map.ark-nights.com

[hidden axle]

Bro a puller cam deal eith bottom right box

[unique grove]

i dont have one

[hidden axle]

Not even rope?

Or yk we got no event stages rn can grab the gladiia if you want

[scarlet fulcrum]

Gladiia is free, e0 SL4 enough

[astral cosmos]

fiammetta is pointing in the wrong direction

[mighty pagoda]

almost did it with them, too bad

last wave killed them

[elder flume]

imagine forgot to force close and 25 san gone

[mighty pagoda]

nah, i didnt forget

[scarlet fulcrum]

But like if u dont have fragment, just usual dps fine. That line only consist rod dude, which is trash enough

[sick knoll]

What I've been trying to say.

[mighty pagoda]

maybe with module umiri they will survive

[astral cosmos]

like
fiammetta pointing towards right solves literally all your problems
you can use rope for left side, she solos

[unique grove]

i cant unlock the module for her

[mighty pagoda]

thats why i tested without

but you can probably just add any dps and it will be enough

i only used sakiko and umiri there

[unique grove]

logos typhon pointing down

[mighty pagoda]

ye if you add typhon it will be ez

she will kill cars

[elder flume]

they all converge middle so i just pointed mid strat

[unique grove]

yes which is why i thinking this setup should be enough

[mighty pagoda]

also cant bard heal stones?

[unique grove]

just waiting now

[elder flume]

the only threat are casters

[unique grove]

no

[mighty pagoda]

huh i thought they did

[elder flume]

they nerfed it

[mighty pagoda]

stupid hypo

healing stones were pretty fun

[elder flume]

Ange too op

[scarlet fulcrum]

Ange s1 already fixed sadge

Right before RA release too

[elder flume]

same patch as regen patch iirc

[mighty pagoda]

anyway, this ez win

its even almost afk

[sick knoll]

It's afk with fia

[astral cosmos]

if you wanna keep a similar strategy as before, literally just this

literally just fia not facing in a dead direction

[mighty pagoda]

it will be afk if i add rope on the left

i just wanted to use andreana

[sick knoll]

Wouldn't the casters chip logo to death or fia does enough damage to kill them fast enough

[astral cosmos]

surely you have a better healer than ansel

[unique grove]

all good

[sick knoll]

Either way the original guides doesn't even need logos or Typhon or anything

You just need like a second caster to chip cars and fia solos

[astral cosmos]

im confident logos is enough

but anyways

[elder flume]

66 dp leftover with Texas deployed since the start

is her dp gain that slow

[unique grove]

no its bc umiri and mutsumi cycle

[mighty pagoda]

nah its good they probably redeployed people

tbh i just used fever on last wave and its probably enough

[faint loom]

hello, i need help clearing paddy field annihilation sim
what's my gameplan in this stage and what's the placement for this squad?

kept getting rekt by that horde of clanker dragonflies

[mighty pagoda]

borrow lin or virtuosa

they make flies trivial

[foggy grove]

logos s1 to kill the rat

rat dies = no dragonflies

[faint loom]

i've no friend provide those 2

[foggy grove]

don't need those

[fringe solstice]

doesn't logos s1 and ulpi s2 just kill almost all the enemies

[faint loom]

do i put him in front the spawn spot?

[fringe solstice]

[foggy grove]

yes

[mighty pagoda]

you can get some rando one, skill levels are irrelevant for that

[fringe solstice]

the key deployment
the rest is to help or block other enemies

[mighty pagoda]

oh there is a hole there

[foggy grove]

#strategy message

[faint loom]

okay, thanks guys

[vocal leaf]

logos here is better, the other one at bottom not a good idea imo

[mighty pagoda]

pog hole usage

[remote hull]

Is this the right channel to ask for assistance regarding stages, or is it #help ?

[mighty pagoda]

it is

what stage?

[remote hull]

15-20

sorry I keep confusing the two

[mighty pagoda]

so what is the issue?

[remote hull]

In my experience, I am barely capable of defending the center and top lanes

That's part of the issue though, as I can't seem to find a way to get an operator to deal damage to PRTS due to the deployment limit

Not to mention the time limit, I at most got 10% damage on PRTS before getting removed

[plucky flint]

send ops

[mighty pagoda]

who do you use

[remote hull]

as in, a list of all my e2s?

[mighty pagoda]

you need to do high damage hits on it

because its invuln is dependant on amount of hits you do to it

[remote hull]

what

[mighty pagoda]

what what

While Safe Mode Standby is not in effect, shortens the Mimic Machine's recovery time by 1 second each time PRTS takes damage.

[plucky flint]

uhh, do you have krooster?

[remote hull]

oh

what is krooster

for context, this is the only stage I've ever really asked for help with

[plucky flint]

krooster.com

[fringe solstice]

tldr the boss is connected to the mini boss so you have to kill the mini boss to damage the main boss. As the main boss is damaged they revive the mini boss.

[plucky flint]

or yea just SS your ops if you want to

[mighty pagoda]

if you have a problem with main boss just borrow lemuen or something

[fringe solstice]

So the faster you damage the boss the short the window is and the mini boss revives faster

[remote hull]

must I?

I don't like borrowing ngl

[fringe solstice]

just send screenshot of what you are trying rn

[remote hull]

ok

[mighty pagoda]

if you dont have right ops it will be hard to kill it

it has high def and res

[remote hull]

i noticed the stats

I think I straight up don't have the right options

[mighty pagoda]

when i tested the boss i could 1 cycle it with some ops

[remote hull]

for @fringe solstice

something tells me that's an atrocious setup

[fierce narwhal]

Oh god blazeter.

[mighty pagoda]

i dont think you have anyone here who can damage the boss

[remote hull]

I've been using this squad and its variations for basically every stage in the story

[mighty pagoda]

maybe amiya s3 idk

[remote hull]

I've changed it up of course, but a solid 4 or so don't ever change

[fringe solstice]

iirc a low end clear uses this

[mighty pagoda]

nope 1 amiya skill3 is not enough to kill it

need some more damage

[remote hull]

for additional context, that squad can only really get to 1 mimic cycle before dying to the colossi

[mighty pagoda]

hoshi should be able to tank them

[fringe solstice]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1yud5YbED5

[remote hull]

maybe 2, but 3 seems to be a limit

[remote hull]

am I about to be mogged right now

[mighty pagoda]

ye they use her skill 3 times

and yes use puller for right side

[maiden hound]

there are bigger concerns

[foggy grove]

you don't need to one cycle it
As long as you are within the time limit

[mighty pagoda]

ye of cause

it just makes it easier

[plucky flint]

3 cycles are safe, 4 are kinda

[fierce narwhal]

Oh, to be fair I’m not incredibly knowledgeable of Arknights, i just know that Blazeter is A Little Bit Shit.

[remote hull]

is she?

she's been my strongest warrior since I got her

[mighty pagoda]

she is not bad

[plucky flint]

she's a bad match up vs this boss

[mighty pagoda]

just suboptimal kit

[plucky flint]

more hitcount, faster mini boss revives

mini boss revives, you can't damage main boss

[mighty pagoda]

you could use her on the middle

[remote hull]

that's how I use her

I don't have any other ops strong enough to kill the colossi reliably

[plucky flint]

also, get a puller for right side

[mighty pagoda]

if you have gladia she can solo right

[plucky flint]

1 puller with 1 dps can solve everything in the right side

gladiia can solo it btw

[remote hull]

I have cliffheart

[plucky flint]

then bring 1 more dps

[mighty pagoda]

you need some more dps if its not gladia

[remote hull]

what kind of dps

[plucky flint]

ur not borrowing ops right?

[remote hull]

just any kind

[plucky flint]

something something kroos 3* is enough

[mighty pagoda]

you can check the video

[remote hull]

no

aight give me a second

[maiden hound]

something something 5* something something

[mighty pagoda]

they use 2 dps i guess but they are 3* dps

blaze with prama should be able to kill colossi

prama module is kinda a meme but i have it myself so cant say anything

[remote hull]

ok i saw the video

unfortunately I'm not willing to borrow a cockroach

[mighty pagoda]

you dont have to, just use the setup on the right

puller is good there

[remote hull]

I figured as much

[faint loom]

@mighty pagoda @foggy grove @fringe solstice thanks guys, it worked like charms

[remote hull]

I'll be back in a minute to test things

[mighty pagoda]

if you 3 cycle amiya it will be more than a minute

[plucky flint]

so, aside from that squad, you got anything else in your pocket?

[remote hull]

I have stuff

but I'm not sure any of it is really helpful

[plucky flint]

[mighty pagoda]

show what you have

[remote hull]

one second

test run

[mighty pagoda]

but amiya should suffice i guess

[fringe solstice]

well the point I was making is amiya s3 works against the boss

you just need to deal with the rest of the enemies

[mighty pagoda]

if you have some other true damage/>4k physical/res shred they can also do

[remote hull]

ok back

I lost but right lane strat works well

[fringe solstice]

tbh I haven't tried pram s2 but it should be a good amount of def/res shred

[mighty pagoda]

its fine, i used her when i started playing

with 50% def shred you still need 1500 damage to just bypass the armor

[remote hull]

i'll post just the 28 ops in here, two images is probably allowed

i just figured out I have exactly 28 e2s, how convenient

[mighty pagoda]

rosa is not bad here

can use in the middle

[plucky flint]

amiya will really be your boss killer then

[mighty pagoda]

you can use suzu with puller on the right

[remote hull]

ok

I can adjust that

I just need to find a way to consistently murder the mimic

blazealt s2 + pram e2 + weakening worked ok

[mighty pagoda]

do you use def reduction tile?

[remote hull]

the weakening nodes, yes

[mighty pagoda]

rosa with the node should be able to kill it

or you can use blaze setup you used, it should be fine too

[remote hull]

I'll work it out

[mighty pagoda]

yoy shouldnt max level your ops

it gives nothing but wastes a lot of lmd

[remote hull]

i do it for the aesthetic

idrfk what im doing xd

[mighty pagoda]

if you had some characters build it doesnt matter but your options are kinda limited

[plucky flint]

this may be a weird suggestion, but try Rosa s1 for mimic

[mighty pagoda]

ye i already suggested that, you can use skill 1

without the node she will have low damage tho

[plucky flint]

he might be using other skills but this time s1 will be better

she still ignore 60% Def

but ye having node still better

[mighty pagoda]

boss has 3k def, just 60% is not enough

[remote hull]

ok

did a few attempts

rosa doesn't really need her skill, she does fine as long as blaze is doing her part

cliffheart on right lane frees up a whole lot of space, so that was the main bottleneck

[mighty pagoda]

ye it usually is

[remote hull]

just have to optimize a little

[plucky flint]

[mighty pagoda]

since you use blaze that much you can as well level bobbing

surely worth

[true stag]

which stage you guys are talking about?

[mighty pagoda]

15-20

[true stag]

is the issue on handling mimic or the source code?

[mighty pagoda]

both

[true stag]

would blaze s2 handling mimic be a good choice here?

while rosa handle the source code

[mighty pagoda]

nah, rosa doesnt have enough damage

maybe with some more def reduction

[plucky flint]

blaze2 rotation kinda lacking for mimic

[mighty pagoda]

maybe

not like they have other options

[remote hull]

ok, now I'm killing the mimic too quickly

while amiya is in cooldown

if I can control the timing a little better, I should be ok

[mighty pagoda]

if you get masteries on amiya she should be able to 2 cycle

but i wouldnt do that

[remote hull]

not worth it just for one level

[mighty pagoda]

you can use her later too

[fringe solstice]

I haven't tried it but I think if you have masteries on Sa, you could try Pram S2 on the boss

the weakening node is basically pram s2

[mighty pagoda]

nah, damage is pretty low

maybe with module

[remote hull]

ok, so I managed to get the boss to around 10% before hitting the timer

amiya can only 2 cycle it if she uses chimera the entire distance each time

[mighty pagoda]

thats why i said you would need masteries

[remote hull]

yeah

[mighty pagoda]

what is your sa module?

if its maxed you can try him

and if maxed skill

[remote hull]

s3 is at m1 and the module is maxed

he can sub in for amiya while she's down, I guess

[mighty pagoda]

why you maxed module but m1 only

[remote hull]

i forg

[mighty pagoda]

with m1 you dont even need to try

[fringe solstice]

you could try suzuran s3 to boost amiya

[mighty pagoda]

true

[remote hull]

doesn't suzuran s3 only affect supporters?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Phys arts and true dmg

[mighty pagoda]

it buffs 2nd talent not first

[remote hull]

thank for the help guys, especially you @mighty pagoda

[true stag]

you leak?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea

[remote hull]

https://tenor.com/view/spinning-rory-charles-graham-rag-n-bone-man-turning-around-the-room-is-spinning-gif-18986961

[mighty pagoda]

2*

[plucky flint]

holy 2*

[remote hull]

I can perfect the strategy later, I just wanted to clear it for now

[mighty pagoda]

you should just close the stage not to loose sanity

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh there's ursus student clear for this stage

🔥

[mighty pagoda]

how they even kill the bosses with them

[scarlet fulcrum]

Rosa

[plucky flint]

tell me it's s1

[mighty pagoda]

both?

[scarlet fulcrum]

S2

[plucky flint]

damn

[scarlet fulcrum]

Both yea

[plucky flint]

fair enough

[mighty pagoda]

someone actually uses s2

[remote hull]

it's less wait time than amiya s3 tbh

[mighty pagoda]

i only have s1 mastered

[plucky flint]

I mean, s2 is still +90% atk

and theres a tile where she can target mimic and main

[scarlet fulcrum]

Its just usual kill gate abuse anyway

[mighty pagoda]

i am more concerned about charge time tbh

[plucky flint]

2 cycles

[scarlet fulcrum]

Lemme copy the link

[mighty pagoda]

do they use old module?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Yea ofc

[mighty pagoda]

idk new one seems pretty fine too

i will not get it but still

[scarlet fulcrum]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1wvdVYXETB/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click

Not adverse for obv reason

[plucky flint]

is that a fking gummy rng

[scarlet fulcrum]

not really

[plucky flint]

oh she can tank the golem

[scarlet fulcrum]

Actually not ursus student, there's aurora

[plucky flint]

she stunned it twice so I think it's rng route

[scarlet fulcrum]

She obv can tank it tbh

[mighty pagoda]

pretty pog

ye those golems doesnt have that high attack as old golems

[scarlet fulcrum]

Known for Kill gate abuse

[mighty pagoda]

everyone does that for low end strats tbh

[scarlet fulcrum]

ye

Beagle

[mighty pagoda]

cant like without account

[plucky flint]

just create one

[mighty pagoda]

its a pain in the ass

[odd forge]

For elf module

[odd forge]

She's not dying, she keeping revives.

[polar frost]

Btw when ch 16 start 10 o'clock?

[hasty minnow]

[glass monolith]

Finally unbearable waiting time is over for people who don't have work hours in that time and cares

[hidden axle]

Which supports would most ppl be looking for gotta earn social credits for helping strangers

[glass monolith]

Be lore accurate, give them crownslayer

[plucky flint]

[glass monolith]

"Music something collabs another music company" fever thing allows to activate skills which is not ready AND even of people yet to be deployed? OP AF

[wary onyx]

i have 1 medic

[glass monolith]

Uh... Don't play chapter 16

[wary onyx]

and i have no good ops to deal wth the artillery

[wary onyx]

my friend beat it though 😭

how do you kill arty when when it is invis???? wtf

[glass monolith]

You don't you just accept it firing on your face for 95% of map time

[wary onyx]

bruh

[glass monolith]

And if you fail to have civilians in middle alive by end of map have fun somehow killing 4 shieldguards yourself

[wary onyx]

this is the furthest i got to holy

[glass monolith]

"Strategic simulation": Summon second artillery

[wicked minnow]

oh this stage

i remember doing this on CN

[wary onyx]

[wicked minnow]

i dont remember it being that bad

the worst part was the runners

0 block guys

[scarlet fulcrum]

Thats amazing view, in different meaning

Just convert to trag s2 enjoyer and u are fine

HELLO? HYPERGRYPH? Introduce your taunting reflect enemy with pop out card maybe?

[scarlet fulcrum]

Oh yostar called that big creatures abnormal infected, makes sense

They want punish some wisadel enjoyer the reflect still reasonable with little heal tbh, unlike IS chest

[wary onyx]

sakiko melts herself with those reflects

she is dying even with mon3tr s2

oh wait but mon3tr s2 also buffs her atk spd..

[scarlet fulcrum]

Redo to have better grasp, i can outheal em just fine

[indigo root]

[glass monolith]

Nah thanks i have enough unblockable shits on field

[mighty pagoda]

ambushers make them trivial tbh

[thick sphinx]

Anyone got 16 15?

I'm not able to place down my ops

@mighty pagoda

[mighty pagoda]

nah, i only did half of the maps

[thick sphinx]

😭

[mighty pagoda]

will do others later

[thick sphinx]

Guess i need to keep trying then

Too much fog

[mighty pagoda]

surely its not hard

[thick sphinx]

Hmm

[thick sphinx]

Trust me it's kinda hard

[mighty pagoda]

first half was pretty easy

i mean just place shu, tanks cant kill her

[thick sphinx]

I'm done until 16-15

I'm stuck here

[thick sphinx]

There is no place to place her and there is a bunch of lanes

And idh her

[mighty pagoda]

2 is not that many

[thick sphinx]

Bear was surprising easy

[thick sphinx]

You don't understand, the fact that they are spread out, and fog covers whole map

And cannon is from the start only

So u place someone down, they start to burn

[mighty pagoda]

well, keep trying

[thick sphinx]

Gaaah

[mighty pagoda]

someone will come help you probably after they finish the maps

[thick sphinx]

I think I'm gonna finish them by then

[glass monolith]

I just started not so long ago, lmao what this is shieldguard yearly assembly map?

[thick sphinx]

Only 19, so like 15,16,17,18,19

So 5 more for me

[thick sphinx]

Which one u taking abt?

[mighty pagoda]

you can do easy difficulty for now and play other maps

[thick sphinx]

Nah, i want to do adverse

[glass monolith]

Every other map but right now 10

[thick sphinx]

Hmm
Imma keep trying, ping me if u get how to beat 15

Kay?

I need help lol, imma keep trying, maybe I can Theresa the map

[glass monolith]

15 is one where you get crash from amount of civilians on screen?

Damn 16-12 kick my ass faster than i make Quartz set up

Let me activate cheats (Supports Ines)

[thick sphinx]

@glass monolith

@mighty pagoda

YESSS

I did it

Shu worked lmao

Time for the last few stages and I can start doing strategic or maybe I'll sleep 💤

[thick sphinx]

Hmm

Yato, vanilla, beagle, spot, gavial and wisadel

If u have wisadel use ines support

Place wis down on the bottom near blue box

And then use all other ops to bait the bear

And spam wis

[mighty pagoda]

wisadel user

[elder flume]

ive just been doing 16-16 boss break for the past hour zz

have to get to 16-17 sequence break fast too to check patch

[mighty pagoda]

can ulpi even tank bear

[elder flume]

idk try it

my Gladiia is modY

[mighty pagoda]

charging him will be hard

[glass monolith]

Bear stunned Quartz, got blocked by Nearl and all time it took me to cook it up drained both bars down

[elder flume]

is charge hard

Lin solo tanks bear

[glass monolith]

Well Lin is 6* and using more 6* than i need is gay

[mighty pagoda]

i did charge him now so lets see

actually he just died kekw

but ye i just tank with hoshi

[glass monolith]

fuck 16-14

[crisp bolt]

rat gaming

[mighty pagoda]

ye he can on skill

but not off skill

dont even need haruka

[elder flume]

Smh not enough dps

[thick sphinx]

AWWWWW

No boss 😭

[thick sphinx]

I DIDNT USE WIS 😭

This ch didn't, only the bear fight i use wis lol

[mighty pagoda]

use is a use

[thick sphinx]

Lmao

U get enough point to do this much

After finishing all stages

Other than H stages

[mighty pagoda]

doesnt matter you get mats from all game stages anyway

[thick sphinx]

This team is crazy lmao, I won't understand it unless I read the story 😭

[thick sphinx]

Yea, imma go auto some stages for the mats maybe

[mighty pagoda]

you dont even need to do event to get mats

[thick sphinx]

Yea, I'm just having fun

Fun event

No boss 😭

[mighty pagoda]

there are like 3 bosses

[thick sphinx]

Hey, to unlock the thingy I have to all simulation?

[thick sphinx]

Bear, that guy who to you to a second map after death

[mighty pagoda]

idk, i didnt even finish stages

[thick sphinx]

Suprising but meh

[thick sphinx]

What did u do in ch 15 for h stages?

How many simulation?

[mighty pagoda]

all of them kekw

[thick sphinx]

FUCK 😭

[thick sphinx]

Hey, I'm proud of myself, all on adverse done

MWHAHAA

[mighty pagoda]

i started playing on arknights release, imagine if i didnt finish it

[thick sphinx]

Lmao

My pulls are at 293 now, set for a wis spark

[mighty pagoda]

surely you dont need her

[thick sphinx]

But I like wis 😄

[mighty pagoda]

braindead gameplay

[thick sphinx]

Lmao, now I have to sit here and contemplate if I need wisadel or now 😭

I like her, but don't need her.
But I want her
So I'll spark her

[mighty pagoda]

i mean if you want braindead gameplay you do

if you want your own

i think i used her last time like a year ago maybe

[thick sphinx]

It doesnt matter tbh

[mighty pagoda]

what do you mean, you either want or not

ok lets try 15 i guess

[thick sphinx]

I want her

Waifu

[thick sphinx]

U doin 15m

?

[mighty pagoda]

get her old version for 200 pulls

ez saving pulls

[thick sphinx]

But her old version is useless tho?

[mighty pagoda]

i mean its not completely useless

but you said its waifu reasons

[mighty pagoda]

why you want broken version but dont want reasonable one

[tall sierra]

At cocaine bear stage for now... Will finish the rest tmr

The scariest is attempting that stage with atk up

Everything he does will 1-2 shot u

[mighty pagoda]

just dont take att buff

[tall sierra]

Well i can maybe

Use mr nothing strat

Perma stun the bear

[thick sphinx]

Hmmm

[thick sphinx]

Ye lol

[thick sphinx]

You could just fast deploy your way and dps

[thick sphinx]

Cuz broken > reasonable

[mighty pagoda]

lmao so its not just waifu reasons

[thick sphinx]

😂
It is waifu reason

Just if you have two waifu, and one is better than the other, you go for the better ine

Ig that makes sense

[mighty pagoda]

sure whatever you say

[thick sphinx]

[thick sphinx]

LMAO
Sakiko go brrr

[mighty pagoda]

idk is not even that hard

[thick sphinx]

My dumb asss didn't have shu

I have only guards on my team 😭

I don't have defender am

[mighty pagoda]

use some other healing defender

[thick sphinx]

I have no defenera

Like srsly, no good 6star defender

[mighty pagoda]

surely you have nearl

[thick sphinx]

I had to borrow shu

[thick sphinx]

No.

I don't.

[mighty pagoda]

pretty sure they give her to everyone

[thick sphinx]

Hmm?

Srsly? Idt i hv her, of inside i wouldda built her by now

[mighty pagoda]

i mean idk i started many years ago

but i think they gave her for free

[thick sphinx]

Well they don't give her now lol

[mighty pagoda]

you can probably use healer too

[thick sphinx]

That was where I was struggling.
Those burn cannon, only healer i have built is haruka

I normally use Theresa passive heal for other stages

[mighty pagoda]

you dont need some insane healer

[thick sphinx]

I have limited options 😭

[mighty pagoda]

just use gavial or something

[thick sphinx]

Hmm

[thick sphinx]

Idh her built

And not wasting lmd anyways

[mighty pagoda]

e1 is good enough

[thick sphinx]

Dude, i started laughing when I reached 16 16

The boss fight thingy, two stages in one

That music was cool and funny at the same time 😂

[elder flume]

Purestream was during collab

then few months later entered recruit

[thick sphinx]

She was a Collab unit?

[elder flume]

oh wait nearl

[thick sphinx]

Purestream?

[thick sphinx]

Oh

Ohh

[elder flume]

idt Nearl was ever free

Purestream ye WWF collab

[thick sphinx]

@mighty pagoda
So idh nearl lol

[elder flume]

or whatever the name

[thick sphinx]

Let's hope r6 Collab unit go to recruitment

[mighty pagoda]

bassline also exists

[thick sphinx]

Idek what that is 😭

[mighty pagoda]

hell even gummy exists

surely she is enough for fires

[thick sphinx]

Oh yea i hv her, I don't build 4 stars 🤩

[thick sphinx]

Kinda

Hey, alls well in the end, i finished the ch so MEH

[glass monolith]

If I wasn't flexing it was win

[thick sphinx]

[elder flume]

16-17 if you wait 7 mins while civ are talking then stage just ends and you win

[thick sphinx]

It's 5 min rt?

[glass monolith]

7 minute stage which takes 13 minutes to render

[elder flume]

whatever the timer is

[thick sphinx]

No wait its 7

My bad
