[gaunt bay]

this IS is too hard and you have to use the newest limited characters because there's no other way to play it

[robust grail]

a circlejerk

[sonic sable]

Hi

Its time

[hasty galleon]

New copypasta?

[dusk creek]

What’s the plan now

Oh there’s swire abusers smh

[sick mason]

IS6 is here??

[sinful sparrow]

yuh

[sick mason]

https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/1ppt8zd/is6_launch_day_guide_everything_you_need_to_know/

hi please upvote this per bait's request

we made a new post

[forest flicker]

who up Intregating their Strategies (6)

[next matrix]

Does this mean if you add 6+6 you don't get high rarity? It's the same as 6+3?

[nocturne cape]

Huh?

[next matrix]

and thanks, I'll avoid odd numbers

[nocturne cape]

6 is the max

So 3+3 or 2+4 to be efficient

[next matrix]

But you sometimes get 6 rarity ones. If you combine both it's a waste?

[rapid pulsar]

Any viable non vanguard 5 stars in is6?

[next matrix]

The higher the rarity the more likely you are to get a rare collectible no?

[nocturne cape]

https://is-central.github.io/is6-sui/low-rarity-recommendations/

[next matrix]

Do you need surfer in IS6? I have cantabile already

[nocturne cape]

canta is fine

[next matrix]

I heard china is moving onto ines only

Ok

[nocturne cape]

canta can benefit from the new ammo relics while surfer cant

but surfer is a hair better by herself

so

your decision

canta can also work with exu2

[next matrix]

Right that I like.

It's not like you lack DP cuz no double agent right?

[sick mason]

So... first run special squad recommended eh

What are these... yellow tiles?

[nocturne cape]

some tongbao interact with these tiles

[latent radish]

Long live the king.

[sick mason]

Wadehell it costs 3 coupons to travel vertically

[alpine sparrow]

is it coming?
it's coming, right?

[nocturne cape]

its here

[forest flicker]

My IS6 run ends on a crash at F2

[zenith fable]

Hello I'm still kinda new to IS, what would be the best starting squad to pick in the new is6?

[alpine sparrow]

oh no

[forest flicker]

well that was anticlimactic

[boreal island]

Borrow Raidian with a squad pick until you have your own leveled up.

[sick mason]

Seems like I have to skip this "turmoil" stage...

[arctic breach]

What is this mouth thingy?

[sick mason]

Oh that thing? It kept spawning enemies

[arctic breach]

Is it similar like a spike of epoch

[dreamy rampart]

why is is6 confusing as hell

[zenith fable]

Which one of these is the best early on?

[sick mason]

You can disable it by consuming 20 DP

[arctic breach]

If you defeat it extra loot

[sick mason]

Special squad

Coz your ass can be saved by 5 extra people

[eternal bear]

Is there a guide for is

[sick mason]

Pinned

[zenith fable]

Ok thx

[arctic breach]

Coins are interesting

[eternal bear]

Oh okay thanks

[arctic breach]

Are there bad coins?

[forest flicker]

where do you get Windscoot from

is he a new recruit op?

[sick mason]

Windscoot debuted in episode 15

He was released at the same time as Mon3tr

[forest flicker]

I see

[stray dove]

Gonna play IS6 as blind as I can for now

gonna ask questions way later

[nocturne cape]

Alter f3 boss on my first run

[sick mason]

Congrats

[stray dove]

wait....already?

are final boss alters just present immediately?

and no other conditions required?

[nocturne cape]

Oh those are dlc1

These are random

F3

[stray dove]

ah

[sick mason]

Time to spam Tragodia C A T

[nocturne cape]

Out of the 3 alters one is really easy, one is decently challenging and one is incredibly difficult

I got the decently challenging one

[stray dove]

btw d12 is still the lowest difficulty with the highest ending icon tier, right?

[nocturne cape]

Yep

[stray dove]

that's gonna be my goal for now

no point doing higher difficulty clears until D18 comes to Global for me

[sinful sparrow]

🥱

[stray dove]

So is the best starter for IS6 Geexu Beanstalk May (pre-Raidian get)?

I guess no point asking since getting Raidian will be easy

[gaunt bay]

Happened to me back on is4

[nocturne cape]

I like exu roberta beanstalk better

Or myrtle

[stray dove]

isn't myrtle a better deal when there's a summoner already (aka Raidian)?

[nocturne cape]

Uhh you can make the case but i like beanstalk because shes powerful on her own

Myrtle is quite mid for early stages

[stray dove]

yeah I'm sticking with Beanstalk for now

cause yeah

E1 Myrtle is pretty shit

[errant siren]

That was fast.

REALLY.
FAST.

[stray dove]

ah....looking down at memory lane, getting to D18 IS3 and D15 IS2 before IS6 arrived.

[gaunt bay]

Wait cube

I think my midboss was alter as well

[stray dove]

I guess they're never ever recreating IS6's skill tree anymore

i mean that sounds normal

F3 alters tend to be present from the start

at least it was for IS5

forgot about IS4's F3 boss alters

ok IS6 has THE best looking data index out of all the ISs so far

[nocturne cape]

Ss

[nocturne cape]

Bros speed running

Wtf

[stray dove]

hmmm Raidian's available in lvl 1

should I start using her the moment I get her (2nd run)?

[gaunt bay]

Bro i havent gotten a single defender guard or specialist voucher this whole run

What the actual fuck

??????

[floral mist]

OH NO NO NO NO

IT'S EITHER MANMADE CARNIVAL OR OUT OF CONTROL

[sinful sparrow]

or an F4 map

iirc

the pool is fairly large

[nocturne cape]

I forgot you have to unlock the fight option via upgrade

The bell is useless then

[floral mist]

YOU FKN-

[gaunt bay]

Bro i might die from giga shit voucher luck

[severe oasis]

i lost to yi lmao

[floral mist]

AAAAAHHHHHHH

[severe oasis]

not a single supporter voucher the entire run

[gaunt bay]

Rose

[nocturne cape]

LOL

[gaunt bay]

My car

[gaunt bay]

Oh they recycled stage name

[nocturne cape]

Kiwi

That is out of control

[severe oasis]

i have not a single 4star guard built idk who to use with trag start

i just did exu

[nocturne cape]

Exactly the same

[silk crypt]

Question! So I see that on the reward roadmap, we'll be getting a Top Operator E2 ticket.
Is Raidian raised just by completing missions, or would that ticket be used for her?. I'm asking because I like Raidian, but if I can keep that top op E2 and also have a maxed Raidian, all the better

[severe oasis]

who feels like permanently ptuting windscoot on their support unit and friending me

[nocturne cape]

Its an encounter where you might get Ooc or manmade

If you rolled red

Same enemies same layout

Its a yan flavored theme tho

[silk crypt]

[nocturne cape]

Just missions

You level her up by playing is6

Masteries and mod done via missions

[silk crypt]

Thus, the top op E2 is to keep

[nocturne cape]

Pretty sure its a m3 voucher

[silk crypt]

yeah

Still useful to keep

[worn lichen]

Nearly bottling d0 so peak

[nocturne cape]

Ayy you took the sandstorm coin too

[hasty galleon]

I just...
I literally just done IS3
Istg they did this on purpose

[worn lichen]

Lmao yh i saw the aspd an was like bet

[gaunt bay]

Yes they are rehashing is3 stages

[nocturne cape]

Ita gonna itch so bad when im at work

Watching you all play

[gaunt bay]

Its okay cube

I have to go now

We can fume together

[silk crypt]

Oh no....

Time to whip out Ascalon as a candleholder

Because I despise Invitation to Wine

SO MUCH

AT least candleholder Weedy is a good choice (I think...)

Exu Alter candle, possibly less good a choice

Oh... Raidian has no RU dub... I was hoping she'd get one

[hasty galleon]

and it's the one level where i kept on failing before i even have the chance to beat the boss as well
they are scheming on their headquarters

[silk crypt]

(Finishes IS3) Alright! now I can Never Play IS3 again!
(IS6 recycling IS3 stages looming in the corner)

[floral mist]

AND YI IS DEEP FRIED BY APPURU PIE

[solar tree]

so like

wat is the IS-6 meta

?

[floral mist]

Raidian

[solar tree]

yep but other than that?

[nocturne cape]

Alright gotta go w*rk

Got Raidian at least

[left gale]

I brute force my first ending

and I didn't understand what the hell was going on

[pastel saffron]

noway there's an ooc in is6

[green sable]

Hello IS veterans, I have a question: Are there any IS modules NOT worth building? (Assume I have unlimited module materials for the sake of argument)

[pastel saffron]

what is ending icon tier btw?

[cold fjord]

i mean

they are 3 cost

they are worth getting always

[pastel saffron]

Dusk and Hool Scam, Swire alter I heard mixed reviews. Some say yes in IS6 some say sus

get all the rest

It also kinda depends on what you have, if you don't have mon3tr cheeto becomes a lot less appealing

[green sable]

I see, I see

Would you say there are any operators worth building specifically for their IS module?

[somber stream]

Mizuki?

I guess.

[rare oar]

how do I get candlebearers?

[pastel saffron]

Yeah, don't build the ones with bad mods

Phantom maybe can skip sinc spec voucher has so much competition alredi

[queen trout]

Can anyone explain me how the coin mechanic works in is6?

[errant siren]

Have vouchers in stock and go to Candle node.

[queen trout]

Once you use the coin they turn into a useless version. You can hold a max of 7 coins (useless ones included) and you can exchange your coins with other coins. Correct?

[errant siren]

Read the coin effect.

Toss means when you really refresh coins you have.

It automatically occurs when going new floor (Wonderland included, both enter and exit) and you can do it yourself inside Coin stock menu (it will cost Coupons, cost will increase every toss, resets on new floor reach).

[jovial quarry]

If you are looking for the exchange of the coin then there's another topic

[jovial quarry]

Use voucher in the Candle node, or use them in the special node to floor 0, or have the special combat in Candle node

[queen trout]

The exchange thing, simply allows you to switch coins right?

[jovial quarry]

Yes, and the switch indeed following some rules

So you can certainly get the combination you want, to spam infinite originium cash and infinte hope

[left gale]

so what's the best starting squad fellas

[jovial quarry]

Starting with any squard that can afford Tragodia, then the squard with a free Raidian

[left gale]

tragodia + quartz + healer im guessing

[jovial quarry]

Tragodia is very good until D10 or maybe D12

[pastel flicker]

Uh UH I'm very indecisive here

[jovial quarry]

||exu alter||

[sinful sparrow]

goodnight, gotta get to work tmr

[pastel flicker]

Goodluck

[sinful sparrow]

[pastel flicker]

S2?

Ok

[next matrix]

What guard to use is6? Other than entelechia

Already have windscoot

[pastel flicker]

i wish the game would give me a guard tag

[karmic void]

the end1 boss hit a bit too hard I think

[proven dagger]

oh my god

im on my first run rn lmao

[karmic void]

maybe I have to deal with the clone

[proven dagger]

HAHAHHA

[sullen oyster]

wow ok, having no aspd or dot is a problem lol
so yeah i've just finished my first run and brute force is a solution
dp is a fcking problem bcs i can't defend 4 lanes with 18dp lol

time to fail, learn, improve and try again

[sinful sparrow]

what 4 lane

[sullen oyster]

there's a stage in f4 or f5 sth

with 2 lanes on the sides and 2 in the middle

with radian drones and 2 golems

[karmic void]

somehow ethan s1 save me

[sullen oyster]

i got no specialist ticket that run

lost like 18 life points in a stage lol

[karmic void]

darn it I got to the boss twice and fail both

[sullen oyster]

the boss is kinda easy ngl

[karmic void]

the clone sucks

[sullen oyster]

i just put ulpi on the top and nuke him

[karmic void]

you know what maybe spawnkill is the way

[sullen oyster]

the ink bomb is scary but hey it's just 4 tiles

[sullen oyster]

always has been

[karmic void]

ink bomb almost made me think 8 tiles

maybr more manageable

space them out

[sullen oyster]

just avoid the bottom 4 lines of the map completely

maybe it will get real at d15

[eager crater]

alright y'all i have return just to know who is the best start for is6

[karmic void]

tragodia

[sullen oyster]

fck it we ball

[eager crater]

support squad if nothing else is unlock as usual ?

[proven dagger]

EM of this stage is a shitshow

[sullen oyster]

the one with free ops?

[eager crater]

+20 ingot and 2 hope

[sullen oyster]

oh yes it does

cannot locked me after i tipped him 1 ingot
i just wanna be generous😭

welp time to spend another 3 hours to max the shop investment

cya guys

[eager crater]

3 hours on is6

goodluck

[flint token]

Guys surely big bob’s loan wont come after my ass in the future right

[pastel flicker]

I got her but I think I took the screenshot a little fast

From the is6 gamepass

[pastel flicker]

Thankfully I have enough pay off the debt

[proven dagger]

he has hands wtf

[flint token]

How much’s the debt

[pastel flicker]

20 for me

[flint token]

oh basically nothing then

[pastel flicker]

the first option was 50

[flint token]

mfw i run around with 80 ingots like nothing

[pastel flicker]

but its 20 with one of the bonuses need to return back

[proven dagger]

first is6 run went better than i thought

[flint token]

ok i got that debt encounter

but yk

when the options are -50 ingots, -20 ingots and -30 starting dp and free hope/ticket/relic/ingot

obv i would pummel cannot into the ground

[agile hill]

guys is +50% hp -5% hp per second thing when blocked good

[dusk badge]

What's a good start for is6?

Like which ops

[flint token]

radian
considering is6 has only opened for under 3 hours, geekxu

[agile hill]

also for is6 is it different from other is where you draft your important op later

[jovial quarry]

define important op

any op that cannot fight well in floor 0 is not that important

[agile hill]

ones you need for wonderland

[pastel saffron]

@nocturne cape you said for early, does anyone from here fall off at d15?

[jovial quarry]

And for now the best guard besides Entelechia is Leizi

[nocturne cape]

A lot

[jovial quarry]

a LOT

[cold fjord]

like

75%

[jovial quarry]

Because that is IS6 v1, a cursed IS for most of 6* ops

[proven dagger]

cursed image

[pastel saffron]

actually nvm, I just looked at mika's article

she listed all the good ones

How convenient

[wicked sandal]

which skill does deepcolor use

[jovial quarry]

in my mind I can barely count ten 6 stars in d15

[wicked sandal]

what ascalon doing that high up

[jovial quarry]

1

Deep color S1

[sinful sparrow]

Ascalon is good ed3 prereq, and she partially handles ed2 left

[cold fjord]

nah

there are more than that

[languid reef]

IS6 F1 reminds me of a certain PM character

[proven dagger]

holy shit

[sinful sparrow]

IS6 F1 is just IS5 Quilon F6

[jovial quarry]

The others are you can pick but not the meta

[sinful sparrow]

[wicked sandal]

Interesting

[jovial quarry]

I can beat the D15 with free ops so...

[wicked sandal]

ngl i just started the tutorial

[proven dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-jia-xichun-ni-hao-canto-8-gif-2238599722832322641

[wicked sandal]

the diff 0

its quite the nosebleed

what or where dyg coupons

what are candles

oh i see

Kinda

[proven dagger]

is it just me or do the flying smarties deal contact damage too

[wicked sandal]

why cant my ops fight

in the consciousness battle nodes

unit no sortie

[icy lake]

they aren'tlit up yet

[proven dagger]

they need to be candleguests

[wicked sandal]

yeah i just found out from the next floor

so of u conserve a voucher

and use it in the pathfinder they become candleguests then

[icy lake]

yeah

there are also certain nodes that lets you do that

[jovial quarry]

yes

[wicked sandal]

is every battle just gonna have statuegists

and u have to pay the dp asap

[wary zodiac]

How hard is6 supposed to compare to previous ones

[wicked sandal]

will u always have 7 coins?

[jovial quarry]

Before the first update and new gacha ops it's very hard

[jovial quarry]

can be more coins in higher difficulties

[wary zodiac]

Alr

[jovial quarry]

CN communities was cursing the game designer for it... well, at some point

[wary zodiac]

Well hope tragodia and exu alter can carry my ass throw hell

[jovial quarry]

And idk if the bugs are fixed or we have to wait until the update, hoping anyone having time to test

[icy lake]

they're pretty much the metas in this one so i think u should be fine

[wary zodiac]

Since raidian is summoner do they get good buffs here?

Cuz it's may be ling time

[icy lake]

raidian is good in both IS and normal stages

[jovial quarry]

Only radian get the buff

[wary zodiac]

So is ling ig

[jovial quarry]

And Raidian is also better than Ling in most normal stages and CC ig

[wicked sandal]

I see

[wary zodiac]

Why life so cruel

[fair pier]

guys, blaze2 not yan?

[wicked sandal]

is radian a genuinely good op

[fair pier]

im bricked

[wicked sandal]

even outside of is

[jovial quarry]

From D7 you will have 4~5 debuff coins in the initial combination

[icy lake]

yes yes she is

[wicked sandal]

the red ones?

[jovial quarry]

Yes

[wicked sandal]

they kinda read like debuff but bigger payout

[jovial quarry]

But they are purely debuff, different from the red ones you get in the game

[wicked sandal]

ohhhh

[wary zodiac]

Can swire alter with is module keep up with mlynar or nah

[wicked sandal]

wow that’s ass

[jovial quarry]

some red ones are great coins

[cold fjord]

She isnt

Because the faction update hasn't happened

[wicked sandal]

what do u do with the coupons

[fair pier]

[cold fjord]

maybe it will with the next patch

[fair pier]

ah, hoshi2 update iirc

[wary zodiac]

Cuz i got 140 certificate and those 2 seem to be apearing in future banners

[jovial quarry]

Move vertically for more fight ig

[jovial quarry]

She is very good in the Guard/Vanguard team i think

the IS module is very good

And her S1 will not be stopped by the shitty paper

The only problem is the DP cost

[wary zodiac]

But does it put her above mlynar in priority

[jovial quarry]

Yes

If you have Leizi then yes

[wary zodiac]

No

[jovial quarry]

Then nope

Swire alter is around the 3rd or 4th pick g

[tribal pulsar]

Ulpi or Degen in IS6?

[wary zodiac]

Alr then next time if there will be

[cold fjord]

degen

ulpian sucks outside of low diff

(degen also does but shes more usable than him)

[jovial quarry]

Wait do we have the swire alter IS module?

[icy lake]

that is during hoshi alter event

[jovial quarry]

Ah OK

[wicked sandal]

im surprised they made the welfare at t1

[wicked sandal]

thats it?

[jovial quarry]

Refresh the shop

But ppl seldom refresh the shop atm

Since rob it in the 1st floor is likely the best option

Oh I forget that the coupon is also for re-roll the coins

For some collectables i.e. the drum that's it

[agile hill]

is tossing coin an automatic thing, i can't toss it myself

[icy lake]

tossing coins occurs every floor

you could refresh it iirc

[tribal pulsar]

First retoss is free

Anyways, what are the best starts?

[wicked sandal]

Wow

[odd spire]

when does radian become a better pick than tragodia?

e2?

[jovial quarry]

D10 iirc

When tradogia cannot do enough damage and your raidian is fully built

[cold fjord]

when you get all her tech tree upgrades

[odd spire]

oh alright

[jovial quarry]

And also because of robbing the shop in 1st floor needs raidian

[agile hill]

is the hardest ppart of is6 getting raidian

[cinder hamlet]

BIG BOB IS WATCHING YOU

[tribal pulsar]

How's Tragodia start?

[wicked sandal]

are u expected to complete the consciousness thing

its not a pre-req for anything?

damn til monster is treated as a summon

[frigid cargo]

FIRST TRY

easiest IS of my life

[proven dagger]

is that

IS THAT

https://tenor.com/view/jia-xichun-jia-ishmael-anamnaworm-gif-2862537478652728000

[alpine sparrow]

sigh

[edgy pawn]

Did someone say IS6?

[alpine sparrow]

yes, you did

[edgy pawn]

IS6.

[frigid cargo]

i was thinking the same

bro tragodia carry hard

and that useless is3 ring carried hard also

[edgy pawn]

IS3!?

[frigid cargo]

the calling ring

3% hp per second

perma stall anything

[edgy pawn]

IS3

with 500% booster.

[ruby sundial]

so for IS6 bosky, do you just collect candle and skip until F4 or enter every single time?

[cinder hamlet]

after reading the IS6 guides, I don't get anything

[languid reef]

Raidian goes pew pew

[timber token]

Which squad is the equivalent of People oriented or Map Squad in term of making playthrough easier?

[keen briar]

is wisadel still the best borrow for is6 or does someone else replace her on is6?

[timber token]

Exualt or Tragodia

[keen briar]

which of the 2 is best? or doesnt really matter?

[timber token]

Imo exualt early, tragodia later on

[toxic loom]

i can already tell this ending is going to give me nightmares on d15+

[keen briar]

wdym early and later on, later on in the run or later difficulty?

[timber token]

Run

[keen briar]

alr, thanks

[frigid cargo]

isnt the gimmick easy

[timber token]

Anyways

[frigid cargo]

just stall the boss on top so it spawn bomb only on top

[silver mulch]

how bad is the boss...

[frigid cargo]

then nuke him or chip him

[silver mulch]

[toxic loom]

im skill issued

[alpine sparrow]

yes

[toxic loom]

[alpine sparrow]

[keen briar]

wait, one more thing, whats the best squad for it?

[silver mulch]

aw fuck

[frigid cargo]

its easy

[timber token]

Dunno, I'm still using the first squad

[silver mulch]

i rly only played thru 2 and 3 (cuz i was inactive for 2 years and just got back into ak)

is the boss like is3's
where it's either super easy cuz u picked the right units or it fucks you over cuz you didn't have enough burst

[toxic loom]

oh ur talking ending 1 im talking ending 2

[proven dagger]

archetto is goated for is6

[silver mulch]

[worn lichen]

What do they do 🤔

[solar tree]

ngl IS-6 is kinda peak

[silver mulch]

go fuck around and find out

[silver mulch]

true!

[worn lichen]

[solar tree]

it's literally all the fun parts of IS-5 without any of the slop

[silver mulch]

is4 is too tryhard for me

is5 is slop

[timber token]

Wdym slop

[worn lichen]

Bruh after i chose it takes u into another 3 choices 😂😭

[silver mulch]

u end up just playing the same game over and over

[errant siren]

You can order at McDonald's.

[silver mulch]

[worn lichen]

[silver mulch]

is5 just becomes

brainless

at some point

at least from what ive experienced

and unlocking the cheese

[errant siren]

I would like 4 Kings and Destruction Hand plz.

[timber token]

Sounds good to me

[errant siren]

Without soda.

And more cheeze.

[cinder hamlet]

was there a content creator dedicated to IS modes saying that IS6 is bland or something?

[errant siren]

On roach.

[robust grail]

yes, the vast majority of CN content creators

it's too bland and too easy

[cinder hamlet]

I can see the difficulty lowered

[timber token]

Never heard of it, the only rant about IS i heard is grind for the pass, that before they introduced buy pass level with

[silver mulch]

i'm a complete casual cuz i find is6 dun

*fun

[robust grail]

that's why there are CN IS5 tournaments popping up

[wary zodiac]

does little baizao works with summons?

[silver mulch]

thats crazy

[cold fjord]

But not the vast majority of normal CN players

[wary zodiac]

the one that deal true damage to everyone when operator deployed

[timber token]

I take that any coins effects like " give max HP, shield, ingot and hope" are applied once when it was tossed, while those with "rightmost ops gain aspd, atk, hp or def" is permanent until next floor/toss?

[errant siren]

Correct.

[kindred bronze]

Should I choose to take the fight here?

[robust grail]

not really?

[errant siren]

Yes. If you succeed, selected ops on special tiles gets CANDLE CHOSEN.

[robust grail]

IS5 actually has a challenge

the only 2 interesting ISs are 3 and 5

[errant siren]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-viviana-candle-knight-arturia-virtuosa-gif-14542335221411630295

[proven dagger]

are vag tiles completely random or are the permutations chosen from a pool?

[timber token]

Iirc getting that way also give extra stuff?

[errant siren]

It will allow to use ops in battle inside Wonderland

[timber token]

I know about that

[errant siren]

WHO IS NOT GET FUCKING BANNED

[silver mulch]

ngl sometimes i still play is2

[kindred bronze]

ty, currently in floor 2 so maybe I will take the fight later

[errant siren]

[silver mulch]

cuz even with all of its unbalanced features

it's still fun to play to me

cuz i'm a casual

[timber token]

Like if the ops is still e1, will it get E2?

[errant siren]

Oh, and some buffs and relics works on them

[errant siren]

Not guaranteed

I had GreyAlter E1 and Candled.

[timber token]

I see

[alpine sparrow]

STOP RECYCLING MAPSSS

[cinder hamlet]

who wouldn't love seeing your operators dealing morbillions damage while having the attack speed jacked to ten thousands

[alpine sparrow]

REEEE

[cinder hamlet]

it's not recycle, it's PTSD provoking

[alpine sparrow]

guess it ends here this time
2nd or 3rd node on F5, not bad

oh no, i think it's 1st node

[solar tree]

ya but IS-5 kinda sucks icl

it sucks to play, it sucks to watch

IS-6 atleast has cool sfx and visuals

[cinder hamlet]

IS6 art direction is so nice tho

[robust grail]

and even so you tried to sign up for kazdel kasino 2?

[solar tree]

uhh no actually

[alpine sparrow]

...i won

also
imagine having your DP capped at 99

[arctic panther]

i hate my life

[ruby sundial]

if i get recruit ticket post-combat and E2 a candleops does it count

[nocturne cape]

no

[alpine sparrow]

managed to reach the boss battle

so whats the gimmick?

[wicked sandal]

1h40m for 1 run wtf

[silk crypt]

Quick. Do monthly squads count for Raidian raising

[proven dagger]

california

[wary zodiac]

Fine for first run ig

[wicked sandal]

I wonder how many weeks it will take for u to max radian

[queen trout]

what's the node priority? for IS6

[wary zodiac]

Also is gang

[nocturne cape]

A few days if you play enough

[raw meadow]

Woo, is6 monthly squad completed in first try. Now waiting for the guides for normal runs because I have no idea what's optimal here

[crimson nest]

Diabolical fucking stage without hit counts

[nocturne cape]

https://is-central.github.io/is6-sui/is6-progression/

[queen trout]

?

[prime mountain]

So friendly reminder to everyone here, try reading what the game tells you

[proven dagger]

first win

[remote umbra]

1st time IS6.
Ffs i had such a cool Weightless damage amp strat (all non-boss enemies in skill range starts floating and lose def and res) just to fail on the boss fight cuz i didnt saved the right vouchers (no lapper and lemuen e2) and didnt knew how the boss nuking mechanic works

[muted skiff]

[nocturne cape]

its OOC all over again

[agile hill]

yo what does the big mouth thing do when you kill

[nocturne cape]

4 ingots

[remote umbra]

Wait, you can kill them?

Just gave them 20dp to shut up for a while

[agile hill]

also for turn into taobang thing, is it usually just turn into nothing

[muted skiff]

they will heavily increase dmg taken when you place operator 4 tiles near it

[prime mountain]

I just had a "if all you toss is one type of coin, gain +10 ingots" thing when all my coins were balance.

We making it rich with this one

[proven dagger]

[nocturne cape]

Dayan Tongbao is nothing so yeah

Consider those tongbaos single-use

[muted skiff]

the whole TL is making me headache

its like reading chinese in english

[agile hill]

also is it always place shit on piss tile unless you got a reason not to

[nocturne cape]

Uhhh

Theres no downside so might as well

[agile hill]

also should you save some blocking recruitment vouncher for wonderland

[nocturne cape]

that depends on the comp you play?

[agile hill]

what about for speed running

[muted skiff]

what is this

[nocturne cape]

oh

whenever you toss that coin you get 1 refresh

reusable

[muted skiff]

sounds good

[nocturne cape]

i should have the upgraded version saved somewhere

1 sec

[pastel saffron]

does reserving a voucher also reserve temp recruitment?

[nocturne cape]

"Each time it is tossed, one random node in Bosky will be marked as explored upon the next entry. When tossed outside of bosky, allows two node refreshes during its active period."

no

[pastel saffron]

also damn they were right, IS6 is tame compared to other IS

[prime mountain]

You can actually draft units, cant be real

Where's my is3 f6 no medic experience

[full cedar]

which one should i go? wish fulfilled or encounter in IS6?

[agile hill]

bruh for return to your root, how do you know which thing spawns shit

[nocturne cape]

they all spawn shit

[muted skiff]

all tree on right side spawn

[agile hill]

doesn't seem like it

only some spawn

[odd spire]

is this ending 2?

[sonic sable]

This ed1 boss explosions hit so hard. What to do?

[prime mountain]

just highroll more

smh

[silk crypt]

Hi. I don't wanna fuck up my first run that got to the boss. Whats the gimmick of Cold Moonlight

[nocturne cape]

Bassline can tank

With a medic ofc

[cold fjord]

generally you just put ur units at the bottom

and block yi at the top

[muted skiff]

nightingale

[nocturne cape]

Ng too yeah

[cold fjord]

u can use raidian s1 to block the clones if needed

[sonic sable]

Ya was blocking with kaltsit but mon3r died in p2

[prime mountain]

Cirno blessing in the monthly

[cold fjord]

yeah u pick tragodia

[sonic sable]

Shes not ready

[cold fjord]

since ur doing end1

and yi is cooked

[sonic sable]

I keep messing up the timing

[cold fjord]

Its not that hard to time

Just dont do it while hes invul

[muted skiff]

when is the last time he talk in ako

[prime mountain]

Too long

[muted skiff]

ikr

rip cirnob

[narrow cosmos]

As long as I am able to survive this should be an instant win

[odd spire]

is ending2 hard? I'm scared

[sonic sable]

Uhh i picked wrong w

[prime mountain]

Time to find out!

[cold fjord]

on your first run you will likely -17 to the whole left side

[odd spire]

is it like is5 ending2 hard?

[prime mountain]

Hey wait a minute I know this one!

[cold fjord]

not really comparable

[sonic sable]

Its a classic

[teal hedge]

generally what diff do i need to start bothering with rose salt for ed2? surely i can just tank through it at lower right

[late marlin]

@opal sail ask anything in here

[muted skiff]

debuff

[late marlin]

[opal sail]

Ok.

What even is the event about?

And Idk what to pick.

[agile hill]

why is the three boss not even moving

[late marlin]

This is not an event

Its a permanent mode

[opal sail]

?

[late marlin]

Also not for beginners

[opal sail]

It just popped up today.

[muted skiff]

yes

[late marlin]

Yes

[muted skiff]

is5

is6*

[prime mountain]

So are life points actually valuable now with the bosky shops?

[late marlin]

You need to have a strong set of operators for this

[muted skiff]

you can also wait for 2 weeks and borrow a all max raidian

she will do all the job

[prime mountain]

2 weeks? bro give it a day

[late marlin]

What level are u?

[muted skiff]

all max tho

[late marlin]

Its better you watch a youtube video

[prime mountain]

its just like ed3 d9 right? yeah thats one day

[opal sail]

Uh, joined a week ago so I’m only lv 25.

[late marlin]

Daym

Sorry

You cant play this yet

Its end game stuff

[odd spire]

Does anyone have tips for is6 e2? I dont wanna lose 💀

[late marlin]

You should focus on the main chapters

[prime mountain]

Losing is fine, you learn

[late marlin]

And upgrading operators

Hope you understand

[opal sail]

Kinda stuck in chapter 6 rn.

[odd spire]

but I need to win to upgrade radian and get higher difficulty 😔

[opal sail]

Since it requires elite 2.

[prime mountain]

Hence the learning part, win the next run!

Lose this one, git gud, win!

[late marlin]

Oh

[full cedar]

Is wander into wonderland more important than emergency ops in IS6?

[late marlin]

You need to level up your operators then

[odd spire]

alright time to yolo ending 2

[narrow cosmos]

FUCK

[odd spire]

i dont even know who the boss is lol

[late marlin]

Its better if you watch a beginner's guide

[narrow cosmos]

So.

I have the item that mixes around DP costs.

I forgot I had that item

Gravel costs 19 dp

Atleast basically everyone else is cheaper

First boss time here we go, (attempt 2)

[prime mountain]

That one is4 stage is f3 now, yeah thats deserved

[late marlin]

Wow

Nice colours

[prime mountain]

oops! no hp

[nocturne cape]

Theres another coin thats -45%

[prime mountain]

[teal hedge]

its safe to immediately exchange one-time (i think) tosses like +ingots, right?

[nocturne cape]

After you rolled them yeah

[prime mountain]

Mfw doing the weekly requires e2 zuole and guard tickets are non existant

The roadblocks have 55% dodge cause of a coin...

bro stuck there

[nocturne cape]

Put trag on top left see what happens

[teal hedge]

oh wait yea i just understood i think, so the coins stay in your inv across floors but just turn into the useless ones after theyre tossed?

[nocturne cape]

Yeah

They are effectively single use

[teal hedge]

mm ty

[rare oar]

ED1, what's a consistent way to deal with the ||exploding ghosts the boss spawns?||

[cold fjord]

tragodia

just lock the boss at the top

[nocturne cape]

Stalling or tanking the boss to not let him walk downward, bassline is a pretty good tank for that purpose, April mentioned NG too, Raidian S1 is also decently tanky but you run out

[cold fjord]

put ur ops at the bottom

[nocturne cape]

Or use tragodia to permastall

[cold fjord]

then you won't have to deal with the clones

[rare oar]

don't the ghosts start spawning down there too though?

[wary zodiac]

what coupons are for?

[cold fjord]

it depends on where yi is

[rare oar]

could you explain more about this?

[cold fjord]

if he's at the top it won't hit down

but if he's f.e in the middle then 5 rows will be targetted by the clones

so your bottom ops will get it

[rare oar]

so the row he's in as well as the 2 above and 2 below?

[cold fjord]

yes

[narrow cosmos]

I walked into ending1 with 4 E2s, and somehow won.

Also, Are the enemies in the middle randomised? First attempt gave different things spawned compared to just now

[cold fjord]

in phase 1 it's 3 rows

so where he is and bottom/top
So it's easier to not get hit

[cold fjord]

yes, they are

[nocturne cape]

Rerolling shops, rerolling tongbaos, vertical traversing

[narrow cosmos]

Anyway that win was a shitshow

[muted skiff]

found it

[nocturne cape]

[agile hill]

@nocturne cape where to find all yan operators

[inland elbow]

cube answer the poor noobs quesiton in is central

[inland elbow]

@nocturne cape

[narrow cosmos]

tf exualt be doing

[cold fjord]

she is yan

[narrow cosmos]

???

What

????

[prime mountain]

yeah what

[cold fjord]

she works in pinguin logistics

pinguin logistics is in lungmen

which is in yan

👍

[paper notch]

how is this relic rated in is6?

i know it's good but how would it rank compared to other relics

[prime mountain]

Is it finnaly good, what the hell

is6 cant be real

[narrow cosmos]

Probably better in IS6 than any other IS

[cinder hamlet]

okay IS7 when?

[narrow cosmos]

You can spend lifepoints for resources in the alt-map

[cold fjord]

actually usable

[paper notch]

lez goooo

[narrow cosmos]

Plus, If you do just want to tank. IS6 doesn't punish you for losing lives like IS3 and 4 do.

[wheat urchin]

Is there a reward for blowing up the statuegeists?

[narrow cosmos]

A few extra ingots iirc

[wheat urchin]

Thank you.

[cinder hamlet]

man I hate punishment snowball mechanic

thank goodness they're gone now

[agile hill]

what even is with the ending 1 boss not being able to immediately killed on phase 2?

i feel like it is invis but not really inivs

also is ending one enemy random

[narrow cosmos]

Yes

First run I got the Yu chonks in the middle. This run I got the Ling birbs

[prime mountain]

Bruh I literally cant do anything

amazing first experience

[agile hill]

when does raidian become worth using?

what skill level and level

[narrow cosmos]

Whenever you decide you want to have fun.

(atleast E1 max minimum)

[wary zodiac]

Am i beating it

[narrow cosmos]

Is this your first experience with it?

[wary zodiac]

2nd try

First ended at 3rd floor

[agile hill]

what if i only want ed 23 on 15 and dip

[narrow cosmos]

First try reaching the first boss ok.

You probably gonna get roasted thats just how the first attempt goes

Do you want spoilers/advice?

[wary zodiac]

I mean this is floor 5

[agile hill]

yes

[wary zodiac]

boss

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah, Do you want me to DM you explaining how it works?

[wary zodiac]

Nah it's ed 1 so i figure out

just asking if i have chances with my squad

[narrow cosmos]

Not really

I can explain what he does if that will help

[sonic sable]

Not clearable withoit vg

[brittle saddle]

is there a list of what options are behind these

[main roost]

How do candles work?

[prime mountain]

Or like -dp cost relic or coin or something yeah

[main roost]

It is so confusing

And why do you need Yan operators?

This mode literally needs a wikipedia

[narrow cosmos]

Don't need. Theres just a few random events which are easier if you have them

[wheat urchin]

They're like the energy you use to take steps inside this mode's Bosky.

[prime mountain]

We have one! not entirely TL'd yet tho

[main roost]

I'm also not sure how coins work

Or what a good starter is

I always end up losing when picking Exalter

Is she bad now?'

I got to floor 4

[rare oar]

how do i find the collectable needed for ED2?

[main roost]

But there's a funky ash enemy

And my units become unhealable at some point

It's so wack

[prime mountain]

Exalter still top 3

[main roost]

TF?

How?

In what reality?

[brittle saddle]

how are you losing btw

[main roost]

Enemies hard?

[prime mountain]

Skill issue tbh

Also dont forget the skill tree exists

DONT FORGET

[wheat urchin]

Until you've significantly upgraded the XP tree, you're going to feel like dogshit. And you still need to learn the levels.

[main roost]

I mean, this is the hardest IS yet

[wraith warren]

What

9h

[prime mountain]

Oh that sounds fun

[agile hill]

the hardest part of is6 is getting raidian isn't it

[sonic sable]

Just me or tragodia cat way too broken

[wary zodiac]

idk if that cuz of item but tragodia cat is dp 0 and way faster to deploy

I believe i'm cooking (tho 1 life)

[agile hill]

raidian to maxx level

[narrow cosmos]

Coins:

You have 7.
3 are randomly chosen at the start of each place, which activate their effects

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah... thats not gonna work

Don't get me wrong that will help a lot

Just not gonna be the whole thing

[wraith warren]

Damni forgot

[narrow cosmos]

I mean. Only one way to find out!

[wary zodiac]

phase 2

[narrow cosmos]

Phase 2 is just Phase 1+

[cold fjord]

Melee

Option 1: HP +35%, ATK +35%
Option 2: Cost +3, Block +1, DEF +50%
Option 3: For 20s after deployment, gain +5% Max HP per second

⸻

Ranged

Option 1: HP +25%, ATK +25%
Option 2: Cost +2, Gain 2 shields upon deployment
Option 3: Gain Resistance, Spell Dodge +15%

⸻

All

Option 1: When enemies are unbalanced, reduce DEF and RES by 30% for 10s
Option 2: Each time a skill is activated, gain a shield equal to 10% Max HP (does not stack)
Option 3: Deal +50% Physical and Arts damage to Transformed enemies

⸻

Candlebearer

Option 1: HP +50%, ATK +50%
Option 2: All operator costs +3. For each Candlebearer in the squad, Candlebearer HP, ATK, DEF +10%
Option 3: For 10s after deployment, ATK +100%. For each operator who becomes a Candlebearer in battle, extend by +5s (up to 15s)

[prime mountain]

Also dont forget to invest all your money in cannot 👍

[wary zodiac]

38/39 rn

[narrow cosmos]

Well damn you did it

[odd spire]

is this squad good to go for ending2?

[wary zodiac]

tragodia cat at 0 dp and like 0.5 second redeploy is too good

[prime mountain]

Devotion is back and also not terrible cause hit count matters now

[narrow cosmos]

Yeah with buffs like that its possible

But I don't think it would have been remotely doable without that much power

[wary zodiac]

are you supposed outdamage his summons before they detonate?

[narrow cosmos]

Its not HP, Its a Hitcount

[cold fjord]

no
you're supposed to permastall him

[narrow cosmos]

Just stall him away from where you put your people if possible

[cold fjord]

and tank the summons with like raidian s1

[narrow cosmos]

yeah just tank them with Gravel, Ambushers have decent HP and dodge, or summon spam

[agile hill]

invest later always for higher expected investment

[gaunt bay]

Invest later into no shop

[prime mountain]

Counterpoint: invest f1 cause its the only shop you see

[gaunt bay]

Good thoughts

[prime mountain]

🤝 we share one braincell

[narrow cosmos]

Or.

Panic, spam, kill him faster and hope you kill him first

[agile hill]

you are not going to rob shop on f1 with 0 investment no?

[wary zodiac]

how good ave mujica squad will be in is?

[agile hill]

or is6 just allow you to rob him with 0 investment

[prime mountain]

Sakiko really good

I dont like this

What did I do

Why did I anger the seaborn

[agile hill]

ez map i think with exu\

[prime mountain]

Its emergency

-14 incoming

[agile hill]

also is operator max hp very important in is6 like is5 and is2?

[nocturne cape]

The invest - refresh - rob technology

[nocturne cape]

Id say so yes

[gaunt bay]

Also hai cube

[teal hedge]

what's this encounter do?

[gaunt bay]

Are you winning

[nocturne cape]

Ive done 1 run

[cold fjord]

if you don't pay him you fight him

[nocturne cape]

At work rn so cant play

[cold fjord]

It is a fairly difficult fight

[gaunt bay]

Lunch rn

Time to finish my run from the morning

:ya:

[teal hedge]

o, does paying give me nothing apart from avoiding the fight?

[nocturne cape]

You keep the relic

You got from the first encounter

[teal hedge]

i see

[prime mountain]

Here we see why hp is a valuable

[gaunt bay]

Manmade carnival

[prime mountain]

The emergency special even

But without ed3 extra enemies its chill

[gaunt bay]

Sir what is that draft

[cold fjord]

worlds most piss draft and bro wonders why he gets destroyed

[prime mountain]

Bro idk how to draft this lemme learn

[gaunt bay]

Bro didnt attend Dr. Cube’s lecture

[prime mountain]

I didnt read 😭

[dusk badge]

Huh?

What's that

[odd spire]

am I cooked 🦈

[gaunt bay]

No

[cold fjord]

nah

27 hp

you win
