is-station

[inland elbow]

it's literally a buff for ines too

this nerd just wants to complain

[hasty galleon]

Wdym a buff
Ines not even E2

[inland elbow]

it costs less dp to deploy ines for her to do her job

[hasty galleon]

And when exactly does she activate her skill?

[inland elbow]

exactly the same time as she normally would?

if anything she would activate it faster because you deploy her faster

[hasty galleon]

Tell that to anything with long range

Oh and fyi, thats diff 18

So 8 tiles surrounding her is not available

[flint token]

bro everyone here play d18

also you can just retreat her

[hasty galleon]

I want to return to diff 0

I not like dis

Except is5

[flint token]

zzz

slopper

grow a IS5

[hasty galleon]

Cramped space like this is a disaster

[paper elbow]

I found the IS 4 ending 4 collectible in store for the first time, so I guess we're gonna try it

[meager heath]

I know greyy alter's S1 is mathematically better for IS but it's so boring, how much do I lose out on by prioritizing S2

[paper elbow]

I think this run is trying to tell me something

[steel relic]

A lot

[terse bough]

Having trouble deciding the route, someone break the draw

[gray pulsar]

why not bosky

this is d8 anyways

oh this was 40 minutes ago

[unkempt lion]

In the is4 sandstorm special battle, is there a way to prevent damage? I go behind the pillars after removing the sand but it never seem to do anything

[steel relic]

Wdym prevent damage

[unkempt lion]

The sand pillars, I thought they were used to prevent the sandstorm damage aka the wind, but my ranged ops always lose hp either way so Im confused

[steel relic]

You are paying attention to the direction of the sandstorm, right

It randomly picks one of the four directions when you load the stage and you need to adjust based on it

[unkempt lion]

I see, I try to figure it out everytime but I seem to only understand it half of the time

[gaunt bay]

The direction is randomized ya

[muted skiff]

do we get the 2 nodes floor 1 or 3 nodes one

[silk crypt]

Is Tragodia as strong in IS4 as he is in IS3?

(BTW, I poetically finished IS3 by using Mizuki to kill Izumik, to finish off the pass rewards)

[heavy pumice]

:icant:

where my cadence 😅

[halcyon flame]

2 combat nodes f1

Expansion adds a 3rd

[muted skiff]

What if they let us play 3 nodes ver

[silk crypt]

Well, is he?

Or alternatively
What are some decent draft picks for IS4?

[halcyon flame]

Honesty they might

Idk they will release the ed2 change for us

[somber stream]

I guess he isn't.

[halcyon flame]

Or make us wait a week until expansion

He is

He’s insanely strong IS4

[gaunt bay]

Hes better in 4

[flint token]

would you rather take 6 hope or 10 lp to counteract leithanien scepter

[somber stream]

Really? I can only imagine ed2.

[halcyon flame]

Hes good en route

Amazing ED4

Cleanup left side ed3

[gaunt bay]

Breaks ed1

[halcyon flame]

ED2 amazing

Breaks ed1

[gaunt bay]

Sent res drone lurer

[somber stream]

Ending 4, you would have to learn new timings?

[halcyon flame]

Very serious character

There is no timing

You slime one king out

[flint token]

nah just use him against red king

[halcyon flame]

And perma lure the other downside

[flint token]

You use trag to lure red king from his side to yellow’s side

[halcyon flame]

https://youtu.be/xPHiVop9f8g?si=2eUR0xvcKMtG0Fg9

[flint token]

it’s silly as fuck

[somber stream]

Oh, okay, thought of it a bit more, and I guess ed4 is no problem if he can keep one of the kings so that the cannon(?) doesn't reach anywhere.

[halcyon flame]

No you just bait the cannon

It’s just the king cannot play the game

Cause his pathing is silly lol

[flint token]

You cycle cannon as per usual

[somber stream]

[flint token]

Trag just chops off red king’s arms

[gaunt bay]

And puts him on a treadmill

[flint token]

reminds me of that dino nugget with the roblox face

[halcyon flame]

IS4 wasn’t designed with a future intern making an OP chuuni operator unfortunately

[flint token]

first is pear blast… now this

[gaunt bay]

Nympear was w/e for is4

Logos still preferred

Nimf better for 6 than 4

[flint token]

and trag is better than nymph anyway

gg!

[somber stream]

I see.

[gaunt bay]

In 6?

Depends right

[flint token]

honestly idk about 6

[gaunt bay]

Cuz supp voucher too broken

Also nimf has good relic pairing

[flint token]

oh pasta?

[gaunt bay]

Theres some is6 relics that pair well with single use stuff

Type shit

Idk ask cube

[flint token]

ic

actually who are the good supporters in 6

[gaunt bay]

Radian haruka

[flint token]

Outside trag haruka radian

[gaunt bay]

Erm

🤫

Ange is there

After trag tho

[flint token]

“broken” ticket and it’s not even is4 specialist level oppresion

zzz

[gaunt bay]

You say that as though is4 spec level is a baseline

Also radian just too broken alone

[flint token]

well better than caster vouchers ig!

[gaunt bay]

Just her makes it giga strong ticket

[flint token]

honestly though how do they keep making caster ticket so mid

[gaunt bay]

Arts damage is piss wcyd

[somber stream]

What's so different about Radian from other summoners? Does she just do better damage?

[gaunt bay]

Also almost every caster sucks

[gaunt bay]

Imagine if tin man was the only operator that could carry toil

Also imagine you got poetry strip relic for free

+3 role role compression operator

[flint token]

Imagine ling but instead of summoning mudrocks she summons actually good units

[gaunt bay]

+single summon on s2 does 100k total skill damage

[nocturne cape]

s3 too

s2 s3 are both 100k total damage

i think

[flint token]

geekxu conjuror

[gaunt bay]

Summon 0.75 logos

[somber stream]

[gaunt bay]

Per s3

[somber stream]

Her summons still take deployment slots, right?

[nocturne cape]

not after f4

well, not after f3

[gaunt bay]

Bro did not read

[nocturne cape]

they cost 0 deploy on f4 and later

[somber stream]

Oh, woops.

[nocturne cape]

if you have the upgrade

you get the upgrade on D6

iirc

so yeah, very cheap but powerful summons that take up no deployment splot

slot

there are also some out of stage benefits

[gaunt bay]

Cube i expect day 1 d15 2+3 no radian no exu no leizi no mly no trag no mizuki no asca no wis

[nocturne cape]

you get 1 more voucher conserve slot, some shield, get 1 more candle (step) in your first bosky and stuff

some encounters get special options if you have raidian recruited too

so

yeah you want to draft her

[prime mountain]

wtf that sounds stupid

[nocturne cape]

gotta work bro 🙁

[somber stream]

How? I tried looking through her wiki entry, and there's no mention of "slot" "deployment".
It's so specific to IS6?

[nocturne cape]

specific to is6 yes

in her upgrades

[somber stream]

[nocturne cape]

otherwise she'll dominate gen content too

[gaunt bay]

Getting free doodle of hope is diabolical

[somber stream]

Oh.

[prime mountain]

She's literally jane is6 smh

[somber stream]

Okay, so that's how she's a stronger "Tin Man in concept".

[nocturne cape]

Its in here

Due to the way node spawning works, any raidian banning strategy will eventually lose its 2+3 streak because of bad RNG

(Expansion 1 fixed that)

[somber stream]

I guess I'll have to experience it myself to see how strong she is for her mode.

[nocturne cape]

Shes not exactly easy to pilot, but it doesnt take a mastermind to use her either

[somber stream]

Yeah, I'm skeptical because nothing stands out just by reading...

[prime mountain]

I think the best way to explain how strong she is really is just calling her summons mini exu and mini logos

Like imagine just dropping 5 exu on the map

[lusty mesa]

is6 guide in pin

ty light

[lapis mesa]

Shits making me want to blow my head. Least now I know that getting the two items that goes to the other bosses is the key to making sure I don’t get the debuff. I managed to get the first one. But Jesus man

[halcyon flame]

Another way of explaining it is think of playing the game perma without half the tech tree

[nocturne cape]

Some content are not updated with official TL, ill update them before release tomorrow

[lusty mesa]

wow its the guidemaker looking forward to it

[halcyon flame]

That’s my candleguest

[lapis mesa]

i like how that one gif is all i need to know about the bosses immunities and weakness lol. the Problem? gonna need to see if i can somehow get this out put with having the specific operators lol

[prime mountain]

Nah its easier to just kill both at the same time, setting up stalls for them is goofy unless its like qiubai with sp on hit for right side

But it do work if you get a run for it, same as nymph

[arctic panther]

i mean you could do it with trag s2 if you stall the boss with fodder during the cat’s cooldown

[lapis mesa]

had a feeling it would the case, just need to see how im gonna be able to stall them at the same time, and killing them at the same time. most likely i'll just need to find perfect run

[lapis mesa]

true

[prime mountain]

Nah what you do is just murder one then stall the other

You never stall both

[lapis mesa]

which one better to stall then

[arctic panther]

red

[lapis mesa]

[lusty mesa]

i just watch supah IS video, i still love is3 dice is fun

[lapis mesa]

[arctic panther]

[lapis mesa]

[arctic panther]

you remember all the times you win big, and forget all the times you dont

simple!

[lapis mesa]

kek. well at least i know what to do ahead of time, the only thing now is to get the perfect run, and pray i get some miracles

[arctic panther]

every run can be a winning run if you highroll hard enough

[lapis mesa]

lol

[flint token]

fuck i just exploded in is5

scepter + 2x leak penalty is so cock

[hasty galleon]

oh wo

that could be good...

FUC

this feel like a bitch of a stage

[arctic panther]

because it is

[inland elbow]

I really need to write or record a guide vid for it

it'd probably save me time in the long run compared to having to explain it every time

[urban isle]

THEY CAN STACK??

[errant siren]

From D17.

[urban isle]

HELL NAW

[errant siren]

But yes

[inland elbow]

read from here if you want to know how to use wis on this stage

[errant siren]

D17+ gives paired Rejection.

[inland elbow]

it's pretty much a pure buff from d16+ tbh

[arctic panther]

I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THOSE WERE COMBO REJECTIONS OH GOD

[urban isle]

what stage is this

[inland elbow]

you only really need to know how to play around rejections d15 and lower

[urban isle]

out o control?

[inland elbow]

the one you just did

out of control

[errant siren]

Yes.

[urban isle]

nah i'm killing myself

Also the whole supah video

The conclusion is

Just use tragodia

Just tragodia harder

[lapis mesa]

Just elemental damage

[urban isle]

is ethan still goated in is6?

i heard there hit scan enemy

[chrome tangle]

must be an insane buff en route

[urban isle]

elightenment is good

[chrome tangle]

that means you can let everyone get cured and then play relicless

🔥

[urban isle]

technically

diff 16 start you with a relic

[inland elbow]

😇

diff 16 will fix it

just 5 more run

[pastel saffron]

is it possible to get impossible deep invests? I was doing IS3 spend 3 keys, but I am on f4 and so far was able to only spend 1 key

no drifting cache, no vertical path on first 3 floors

[floral mist]

I mean.....

[urban isle]

i tell you later

[chrome tangle]

Yes

I got to F5 with that one

[urban isle]

it possible

[chrome tangle]

With no way to spend my keys

[urban isle]

som run is just

[pastel saffron]

oh my god

[urban isle]

unlucky

[pastel saffron]

shit game

[urban isle]

it is3

you don't have a choice

[pastel saffron]

why do deep invests even exist, does hg expect d0 content to be remotely hard for anyone?

just make them objectives we can do in normal play

like why should I waste my time playing d0 rng mess

[urban isle]

it possible

trust me bro

is3 is jut that bitch

you feel like yuou getting cucked

cause you are

[chrome tangle]

I think it was specifically only that one

That has ever been incompleteable

For me at least

[heavy pumice]

yeah, idk too
why deep invest exists
but maybe because we play max diff IS too much and when play DI its like a waste 😅
for casual player maybe have different opinion

[pastel saffron]

even a casual player is gon play at d7 coz 50% eff.

so d0 is still like

fucking easy

[fickle jungle]

Because most of the playerbase do not care about is
You just assume the mentality is "okay if i pick wisadel i should always win right?"

[west forge]

Is there a guide for using Wizadel as a core comp to get is5 ed5?

I'm playing almost blindly here, I managed to get the items needed, but on F5 when figthing the last stage (ED2) I am blindsided because I simply do not have enough operators to deal with all of the phantom/shadow on the theresis/theresa stage

[fickle jungle]

What difficulty?

Like what is facing souls level?

[inland elbow]

if you're doing just ed5 there's no reason to do ed2

outside of just for the challenge

you can just do ed1

[errant siren]

Do End3 instead for extra floor, shop and Patrick drop.

Before reaching Amiya.

[west forge]

i dont need higher difficulty to get the ending yes?

so ed5

d5 i meant

[west forge]

i see, i need ot read it up how to get ed3
cause i keep getting ed2 for some reason

[fickle jungle]

You can do it at any difficulty

[west forge]

to be clear, i never touched IS before, even fungimist i had someone played it for me

but i have 999 investment, and unlocked all of the historical recosntruct

[urban isle]

ENLIGHTENMENT IS REAL

IT REAL

[robust grail]

you overestimate

[flint token]

You get ed2 by combining the two 4 stars lingerer you get on f2

for ed3 take the black box option in lost and found

next node you reroll will be a special bosky

[west forge]

Okay I might need to read it up because I'm playing on JP and I don't know which guide tells me which lmao

[flint token]

The IS central github page should detail all the endings i think

[west forge]

https://github.com/is-central/is-central.github.io
this one? is this available in japanese?

[flint token]

er no but google translate is free

[inland elbow]

I don't think the website covers how to get the endings

https://is-central.github.io/

this is the website btw

the wiki should have them for the most part

[west forge]

okay thanks i'll give it a check

which operator set do I pick for ingot squad if i want to do ed5? def/caster/snip or vanguard/snip/specialist?

[chrome tangle]

can the website have it 🥹

[inland elbow]

it could

[inland elbow]

I'd do click rosmontis gummy

[inland elbow]

be the change you want to be, write the article

[west forge]

rosmontis and not wizadel? i suppose pick her up later down the road?

[inland elbow]

oh you can start wis yeah

[chrome tangle]

i cant

im new to IS

ive only beaten IS1

[inland elbow]

bros been new for 5 years

[errant siren]

Yes. Rosm is also very favorable as starter pick.

[chrome tangle]

i am the muffin

of this station

[errant siren]

[hasty galleon]

Alright SURELY i can beat d18 with this

Fingers crossed

[floral mist]

Bro, where's your casters???

[hasty galleon]

You mean banana?

She’s not here

[floral mist]

I mean, you have two Casters Relics

Surely you have one caster in your lineup right?

[hasty galleon]

Y…yes…

Durin

[floral mist]

Rip

Still, how did it go?

A18 I mean

[hasty galleon]

Not as clean but i guess it works

[floral mist]

Noice

Still need to reach IS4 A15 and IS3 A18 before IS6 update for me.

[hasty galleon]

I will pretend A15 is4 did not exist

Alright now i either memory mapping or i do other endings FINALLY i escaped this hard diff hell

[chrome tangle]

wahh....IS4 D15 is goated

we have so much broken shit for it

[silver mulch]

i think you can piece together how scuffed the final map was

was deadass held together with scotch tape, rng, and medics

[chrome tangle]

did you gnosis highmore

[silver mulch]

gnosis freeze helped a lot

it made boss crash onto the ground

[chrome tangle]

yea

hard cc does that

[silver mulch]

letting me deal damage with mon3tr

gnosis my goat

[chrome tangle]

you won 🧎‍♂️

[silver mulch]

he saved my ass so many times in is3 LMAOOOOOO

but oh my god i should've recorded the battle

ptilopsis, mulberry, purestream, eyjalter, and even kal'tsit

was barely keeping silverash and ethan together

it was genuinely horrifying

[inland elbow]

how can it be goated when it's the easiest shit ever bro

[chrome tangle]

show me relicless IS5

[inland elbow]

I streamed me playing is4 today with 2025 ops for fun

and the viewers were like "fuck, go back to degen"

[chrome tangle]

even degen back then was boring

🥀

[inland elbow]

one cycling sentinel with only silver forks and sing was fucked up

and then the trag lock on ice cold image

this is the IS people love

[crimson nest]

2025 ops 😔

[chrome tangle]

now do it with release ops

[frigid cargo]

hello, is it correct that is6 drop today?

I remember someone commenting here that Nara is pretty good in IS6?

like, what would be the next sniper to get in IS6 after Wis?

[errant siren]

Wis is good in IS6?

Spiky Chests returns, ya kno?

[stray dove]

that never stopped Wis usage in IS4 before

just gotta deal with it in a different way

[crimson nest]

You can just not S3 spike chest like an idiot

[errant siren]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/G5Wj_8VWsAA8akV.gif

When no S3

ALSO
WHY S2 DOESN'T SPAWN REVENANTS BRUH

[stray dove]

because thats the fucking point of S3

[crimson nest]

Cause revenant locked behind e2

[stray dove]

alongside the large nuke ammo

[crimson nest]

🤦‍♂️

[stray dove]

you get 1 revenant from drop (e2 only talent)

simple as that

S3 is the only one that gives you more revenants

[errant siren]

I know that

I JUST ANGY

Finally

I may draft ReedAlter

(whole time i did IS4 without her)

[gaunt bay]

is5 fucking sucks

[errant siren]

Nah

It has W

Double W

[gaunt bay]

Both stages instant reroll

Very cool

[errant siren]

[narrow cosmos]

You unlock revenants at E2 not E1.

If W had a revenant at E1 she would litterally be unstopable in IS, because starting with that would be BULLSHIT

[errant siren]

I WANT THAT BULLSHIT

🥹

[narrow cosmos]

Like, Starting with Wisadel wouldn't have anything that stops her really

[errant siren]

Ep8 Mortar Drone

[gaunt bay]

kid named air enemies

[pastel saffron]

how yall deal with IS staleness? I grinded IS3 in 3 weeks and ever stage feels stale now. Like it's just deploy some range ops on X tile, if there is mantra use bait or medic. Win. Out.

I have a massive burnout coz it all feels rhe same every time

[tall zephyr]

Hello! I have a question? Which operators in early game should I start in IS 6?

[errant siren]

Ep11 Kamikaze balls:

[errant siren]

Play other IS.

[narrow cosmos]

Probably most of the same you use in the other IS's. ExuAlt and Wisadel starts are still solid

[tall zephyr]

Then what about the four stars?

[narrow cosmos]

Gummy/Cuora, Jaye/Ethan/Gravel, Click, Myrtle, same as always for IS

[tall zephyr]

Alright got it

[languid reef]

In IS6, which relics that supports ros IS mod?

[burnt lantern]

I read several times Penance is quite good in IS6, but not sure why her specifically (not mudrock for example), and will this justify to build her? (Like we build hoerderer for IS5)

[remote badger]

any sniper/caster relics that aren't hands

fowlbeast

lots more

oh wait is6

[remote badger]

man its much better for not drafting ros

in is6

[tacit oyster]

HOLY SHIT

No ASPD buffs too

and BSL was enraged

How woud anyone do this without the note? idk. Also, who's the next boss to get at A15

[errant siren]

Troupe.

Should be easier.

But you need a lot of healing and big HP.

[tacit oyster]

go on, what should I expect/who should I bring?

I now did BSL and playwright at A15. just 2 more to go before fully clearing IS2

[errant siren]

Multitarget Medics 100%: Nightingale/Ptilopsys, first one is appreciated due to Miniboss Fart Doll spawn. You can substitute with Monsta like I did.

And the rest who kills enemies and bear dolls around.

[tacit oyster]

so lappland/gg?

for killing bear dolls quick?

[errant siren]

One Wandering would be appreciated just to stall Troupe if you cannot kill him in time.

[tacit oyster]

and ya2 or 2xas

[errant siren]

Used TexasAlter, YatoAlter, Wisadel, Tragodia and Logos.

[tacit oyster]

That didn't sound as complicated as bsl preparation

I remember preparing more for troupe when IS2 was new

[errant siren]

Oh, I also had Rosm

[sick mason]

Oh so this thing also affects Tragodia's cat

[errant siren]

Should. Allies treats like "Ops+Summons".

[sick mason]

Looking from the guide, it seems like Tragodia is the best for low diffs?

As long as our progress haven't reach lvl 25 to get Raidian?

[errant siren]

Raidian is Lv1.

Literally play once and bird is yours.

[pastel saffron]

@nocturne cape I was looking at ur low rarity op and saw some ops are there for hitcount, why not blue poison then?

[ionic kestrel]

i wanna see the list too

🙏

[worn lichen]

Is6 soon peak

[tacit oyster]

do walter's revenants count as "Summons" or "allies/units"?

[ionic kestrel]

i aint even done playing is5 properly

im not ready

[ionic kestrel]

summon

[sick mason]

Summons

[tacit oyster]

do all 5 endings with IS5 then at a15

Summons? So the summon boosting relics help her?

[ionic kestrel]

im at d18

but im trying to get familiar with ed4 and 5

[errant siren]

Yes. Bird Origami buffs her and Revenants.

[tacit oyster]

If I wanted to do S2 or S3 for walter at E2, which relics are better? Sniper attack/aspd relics or summon boosting relics?

[ionic kestrel]

and a lot others

[tacit oyster]

ty

[errant siren]

Left one is better.

[tacit oyster]

sniper relics only boost walter, right? Not her summons too?

[sick mason]

Ye just her

[tacit oyster]

ty all

When will Maintenance End? When can we wreck havoc in the Garden?

The scheduled maintenance lasts from <t:1766070000:f> to <t:1766070600:f>
Start: <t:1766070000:R>
End: <t:1766070600:R>
(P.S: The date and time displayed here adjust based on your own time zone)

Compensation: 200

[tacit oyster]

Poz's typewriter, Ines' beacon, Mon3tr, and silence's drone count as summons, right?

[frigid cargo]

wait maintenance in 3 hours? isnt it usually in 5?

[ionic kestrel]

not ines sentry

[errant siren]

It's 10 minutes.

[ionic kestrel]

summon occupy tile so you cant place another op

on that tile

[errant siren]

Put your eyes on the head, not in other place.

[tacit oyster]

ah k. so summons are something that when placed down, you can interact with/select?

[errant siren]

[sick mason]

Defeat Yi with just Raidian's summons?

[errant siren]

Bruh, now I need to do that.

[ionic kestrel]

ulpianus achor(left behind when he moves) is coded as summon so no

you cant interact with it

[hasty galleon]

what is this?

[worn lichen]

Seems fine enough

[frigid cargo]

im gonna play umamusume first

[sick mason]

Find it in pinned

Also, this guide also said that it's recommended to do ed1 at D6+ before actually beat ed2?

[hasty galleon]

yea i am reading

anyways i have a question
How newbie friendly is IS6 compare to IS5?

[worn lichen]

@nocturne cape for that second one does it just mean use raidian summons to help kill the boss basically?

[sick mason]

Pretty much just grind your way to max out Raidian I guess

Also, IS6 meta squads isn't as flexible as IS5 because no f-ing lamp (and king's relics also removed?)

[hasty galleon]

and if i max out raidian, is it going to be as easy as is5?

[tacit oyster]

So just to optimize my run, Summons are:
Summons by supporter archetype
Monst3r by kal
Typewriter
Ms Christine
Deployed unit by beanstalk and vigilo and other members of that vanguard archetype
Walter's spikes
Silence's drone
Shamare's Doll
Skadii2's summon
KAzemaru's S2 decoy
Rosmontis pillars

But what about Swire's bottles or trapmasters?

[sick mason]

Heheh no

You have to learn things out

[frigid cargo]

but why did they revert to this...

[sick mason]

Swire's bottles are like traps

[hasty galleon]

sounds bad
i like is5 due to how easy it is to avoid combat nodes
sounds like it's is2 again where diving straight to emergency nodes is the way

[frigid cargo]

is5 is alreaady perfect

[sick mason]

You know... trapmaster's traps

[sinful sparrow]

Because is5 is dogshit of a design

🚬

[ionic kestrel]

can you place ops on her bottle tile?

[sick mason]

Considering IS5 is pretty repetitive and braindead thanks to lamp of wishes I guess

[frigid cargo]

but everyone can do it has always been the unique value of arknights....

[sick mason]

Everyone can just refresh to get wish nodes and king's relics

Sure it makes IS5 has more QoL than IS4

Which is tryhard

And IS3 below D16 being so horrendous

[dusk creek]

https://tomimi.dev/en/recruit
scroll down, select empty fowlbeast under the IS tab

[tacit oyster]

That's what I'm wondering. Her bottle tile doesn't say if damage is boosted/stacks

[dusk creek]

It should show you all ops that have a summon

[hasty galleon]

i honestly like this
being a newbie, where do i even dig out op units on my own

[sick mason]

No

[ionic kestrel]

then it is a summon

[sick mason]

The bottles act the same as Dorothy's traps

[sick mason]

Borrow

[hasty galleon]

that's right
you borrow
but you can only borrow 1 good 6*, maybe another 5 star
then you immediately stare at your unit board

and you see you need to activate melantha's skill

[tacit oyster]

Now THIS is optimal. Thanks

[frigid cargo]

borrowing a not optimal starter is always horrible

[hasty galleon]

[sick mason]

Everyone these days if they don't own these units (Exia alter, Tragodia, Wisadel), they gonna borrow anyway

[tacit oyster]

wait how does fowlbeast affect exu2? Her summon doesn't do damage.

[sinful sparrow]

Ulpianus summon also doesn’t

But he benefits from it

[tacit oyster]

hoow

[ionic kestrel]

"gives summoner blah blah atk"

she and ulpianus are summoners

[sinful sparrow]

because it’s coded as a summon internally?

[tacit oyster]

Huh. Never knew

thanks

[ionic kestrel]

why cant i see swire alt in that list tho?

[tacit oyster]

yeah was wondering

weedy and phantom are given

[ionic kestrel]

maybe the logic of occupy ground tile is wrong

[hasty galleon]

i guess different people different playstyle then
for me i am fine with braindead, even liking it
dodging battle nodes is fun and for a newbie like me, less battle = more chance to reach ending, and vice-versa, which is more battle = less chance to reach ending due to how easy it is to fked up non-boss battles

[sick mason]

Less battles = less command exps

And potentially less recruitment vouchers, less relics

[hasty galleon]

does command exp increase base stats like atk?

i hope one day it does

[tacit oyster]

sskadii2 is there so there is some logic

[sick mason]

Command exp helped your ass to do something that isn't just base stats for ops

[tacit oyster]

but doesn't swire2 bottles have the same logic as trapmasters? They're there

[sick mason]

Squad limit, life points (useless ahh in IS5), toil limit

[frigid cargo]

no problem play at your own pace (from a braindead player too)

[errant siren]

You actually think all of it wrong.
Standard rookie mistake.

If you avoid battles purposely, you don't get Command EXP.

No Command EXP = no Hope and vounchers.

No Hope and vouchers = no ops.

No ops = you su- suffer from Final Boss very smoothly.

[queen phoenix]

Wait yall what's the most easiest is so far rn?

[sinful sparrow]

see this is why is5 went wrong

[errant siren]

Do not. Think. About skipping all the battle on your way.

[sinful sparrow]

it added lamp

and lamp wis with 4 kings just destroy ed1-3

which is literally every goobers ever play

🚬

[errant siren]

IS5.

Sarkaz one.

[queen phoenix]

Fr? 😭

[errant siren]

Fr.

[frigid cargo]

is5 is the first is that we can dodge all battle to get ending = fun?

[errant siren]

Well, you can try Phantom IS2, but final boss may be unpleasant.

[errant siren]

Yes, if you're Trash'adel user.

[frigid cargo]

[errant siren]

And prior to low difficulty.

It won't work on higher.

[hasty galleon]

tbf i don't avoid 100% of battles, just ones that has at least 10% chance of losing
things like face off i still do
however that's the only exception of is5
other IS i am aware of this, since i stated that other IS, like IS3, instead of avoiding battle, i have to dove straight into emergency nodes for better loot
And that creates a problem on its own, being that mob stages are obnoxiously hard that you failed on them, even on normal mob stages, and you ended up resetting your run

[neat pike]

uhh so i heard that in is6 you rob cannot as early as floor 1, is it true ?

[signal hawk]

the only problem with is5 is that they removed the rng for good collectibles

[errant siren]

It still bad. Should be 100% chance to die.

Especially going Emergencies.

[frigid cargo]

what is do we have good rng?

[errant siren]

Since you get Relic 100% here.

[signal hawk]

i guess any, since they can drop at random after battles

[frigid cargo]

but isnt we can still get like shop -50% after battles in is5 etc

whats the difference

[hasty galleon]

unless you do like d18 ed4 for example in is5, then sure it's bad to skip all battle nodes
meanwhile with the purpose of finishing the final difficulty, which is d18 ed1, then i just lamp to fasten the progress
Other IS i am aware, you have to dive straight into battle nodes, i am aware of this

[signal hawk]

difference between what

[frigid cargo]

is5 and other

[sinful sparrow]

good strategy yes

thats what i did pre expansion

[gaunt bay]

theft and murder :ya:

[signal hawk]

you can guarantee the king's relics through lamp, which gives huge stats

[sinful sparrow]

ideally you rob F1

so you get the power curve

to crush F2 bosky

[sinful sparrow]

stats is relatively bruh

giving huge stats doesn't mean shit when enemies are also buffed to match that power

[signal hawk]

forgot to add the W woman

[errant siren]

[signal hawk]

you get 4 wish nodes with Wis and she can nuke up until the 4th floor

[sinful sparrow]

4 wish before f4 🥀

[signal hawk]

takes only 4 plans

[rare oar]

it releases at normal update time?

[paper elbow]

huh, upgraded version

[signal hawk]

@nocturne cape gm

:mon3trsmug:

[nocturne cape]

Blue poison is alright too, but she costs hope while not being true aoe

Technically not the worst tho

Ive drafted BP for a brief period

[frigid cargo]

ethan is the answer? is it for the multi hit enemy?

[sinful sparrow]

it is

IS6 has a decent amount of hard stages consisting of furniture enemies

and the hardest en route combat maps contain furnitures

so you need to have a way to partially handle them

of course you can just draft wis

[nocturne cape]

Deal the last blow to Yi with Raidian summons

[sinful sparrow]

wis s2 is vile

[nocturne cape]

Unfortunately Ethan is not enough

[worn lichen]

Last blow ight thanks cube

[nocturne cape]

You still draft him

But you need more

Since ASPD is rather rare for ethan to pop off

[frigid cargo]

they saw is5 is aspd mandatory and decided to nerf it...huh

[sinful sparrow]

aspd needs to stay rare

[sinful sparrow]

oh yeah, do you think ascalon yato is enough for ed2 left

[nocturne cape]

For most games sure

The issue with ascalon

Is she cant actually kill the sharpedges fast enough

[sinful sparrow]

mhm, need to get a bit of external

[nocturne cape]

So you need to help her kill the sharpedges so she can damage the spearheads sooner

[sinful sparrow]

i just really don't want to draft ange

and idt ange even does it for 2+3

relicless 2 uses her

[nocturne cape]

I think shes fine

Especially if youre on defsupp

Ange can easily pop off with some SP regen

[frigid cargo]

why ange and not gnosis

sometimes i wonder

[sinful sparrow]

Gnosis doesnt handle sharpedges at all

ED2 left side has 8 sharpedges and 9 additional iron spears

so it's a lot of hit count demand

[gaunt bay]

can you believe it guys

is6

just 2 hours away

[gaunt bay]

hi 🟩

[frigid cargo]

im going in 3/4 blind

[sinful sparrow]

defsupp pre hoshi haruka and no tragodia is uh

funny to say the least

granted tragodia is dogshit into 2+3

[nocturne cape]

I dont think its bad

[sinful sparrow]

but still

[nocturne cape]

Still the best prob

Because e2 raidian

[cold fjord]

proof?

just play special squad

[nocturne cape]

Gathering…

They took my baby’s name

[cold fjord]

special

[nocturne cape]

But yeah you know my ass is gonna spam it

I love it

[sinful sparrow]

@nocturne cape Oh wait, one thing

suppose you're playing non def/supp

aka spec/cast gvg

how are you starting with raidian and a 6*

[nocturne cape]

You cant

[sinful sparrow]

just open raidian e1 as usual and fish for class vouchers in shop

?

oh

[nocturne cape]

Unless its support or highground/ground

[nocturne cape]

Yeah that

You cant start with 2 6-stars unless you are support/ground/high ground/special on D15

D14 and below i forgot i still dont think you can?

I think the difference is you dont need kettle for D14-

[cold fjord]

you can start with 2 6* if u get hope relic

👍

[sinful sparrow]

hi my goat euthy

:RosHype:

[cold fjord]

[frigid cargo]

the free relic start? and pray for 6 hope roll?

[gaunt bay]

The chance is giga shit

Why would you do that

[errant siren]

@solid lodge

[ionic kestrel]

can just pin that

[worn lichen]

Real

[nocturne cape]

Its in the game so

I dont see a need to pin it

[ionic kestrel]

[errant siren]

I would wait for translation first, rewrite and then pinned.

And probably has no value since you can read it ingame indeed.

[robust grail]

CN hates IS6 because it's too easy

EN will love IS6 because it's too easy

it's so over for EN

[worn lichen]

Is this cap then

[sinful sparrow]

EN is gonna hate is6 bruh

no lamp

and everyone is lamp-brained

gg

bros exploding

[boreal island]

it's fine, I used to dislike IS3, and I still do

[halcyon flame]

the game was too easy with raidian and too hard without her drafted, they tried to balance out the difference in power in expansion one by giving everyone raidian level power

[worn lichen]

Thats how they decided to balance it lmao

[sinful sparrow]

(it's not that easy if you're trash at the game)

but yeah

pre dlc it was like that

ban raidian and you explode

[halcyon flame]

wcyd when they made raidian thanos tier and gate kept win streaking behind her

[sinful sparrow]

i dont get the extra node on F2 though

is that necessary

:lappphone:

and F3 shop offering free bosky access

[robust grail]

wtf

EN hates lamp

lamp is broken
looks inside
d10 ed1 Wis

[remote badger]

[sinful sparrow]

do they?

it's good dopamine for the monkey brain

seeing wisadel s2 killing everyone in 2 hits at d10 ed1

[crimson nest]

Idk its in between

Like you see people here with lamp and theyre just handmixing

[remote badger]

cmon they alr have lots of dopamine

[robust grail]

they'll get tired of the dopamine hit

inevitably

[halcyon flame]

they dont

lol

[robust grail]

i once liked playing is2 deep investigations because it was easy and high power

[sinful sparrow]

my most played is2 deep invest was the ranged ones
