is-station

[gaunt bay]

it makes them candlebearers right

[steel relic]

ye

[mint gull]

Ik it was aimed at new players to not think lapp2 is not goated. She's probs strongest pick for is6 if you have no other Ops.

[halcyon flame]

tbh theres not rlly a gimmick with the squad because you dont get hit with -voucher reserves till later. Unironically its just abuse the meta ops

but obv start with exu raidian since its only 8 hope

[wicked sandal]

what pedestals

[halcyon flame]

and u can roll kettle

ok bucko

lets see ur match history

oh wow

curious

[open finch]

You know it was difficult to imagine something stronger than Wis before

But now basically no records use wis unless it's for s2 clearing goobers

[inland elbow]

Now we have like 3 ops better than wis

[open finch]

Unlucky

[inland elbow]

Hey her s3 is used all the time still for bait

[open finch]

Is fine bnuuy clear will use wis

And that is unironically the last hurrah

[inland elbow]

S2 damage is stonks though

[wicked sandal]

ohhh I see

i didn't know i can start with exu raidian

[open finch]

Raidian is discounted

[wicked sandal]

ive always been doing raidian myrtle ethan

[wicked sandal]

no bec i never get +2 hope as the buff thing

i've always been getting shield/ coupon

[gaunt bay]

wait i thought it promoted

does it only make them candle

[wicked sandal]

speaking of

[mint gull]

At diff 9 you start with 7 hope, and of you get a kettle, you get to 8 hope. Really convenient

[steel relic]

idk I've only tried it once and they both died

[gaunt bay]

lmao

[wicked sandal]

im still d7 unfortunately

[steel relic]

omw to make Dusk almost usable

bruh I had 112 ingots and got Shu gamble

it's so over

[wicked sandal]

kettle's actually good?

[wicked sandal]

i forgot how do u kill the lance spawn thingies

but ethan isn't doing shit

[gaunt bay]

bruh that was the shittest bosky ever

[steel relic]

they removed the +2 hope starting bonus, so kettle is the only option now

[gaunt bay]

Seems fair for f2 yup

[dusk creek]

the pathfinder combat only makes ops candle

it would be a bit broken if it also promoted

[wicked sandal]

oh

no wonder

oh well I'm still d7

[mint gull]

In this IS? Yes. you actually want health in this IS because you can use it as a resource in the sui shop.

[wicked sandal]

i'm still trying to do the masteries before i go to d8+

[halcyon flame]

it also gives loot!

roughly the same as a combat

[gaunt bay]

broken('t)

[brittle saddle]

i love my life

[alpine solar]

what the heck damages my op during pathfinder combat

do i just kill the enemies and im ok?

sometimes i get sparse intervals between lightning bolts

sometimes like 7 shoots out and decimates the poor guy in the center

[halcyon flame]

its a survival stage

IE ur op on the pedstel must stay alive to get rewards

[steel relic]

strong Freeling

[gaunt bay]

Speaking of jessica

[steel relic]

[gaunt bay]

"ask and you shall recieve" ahh

how it feels to have no arts damage on feng shui

[mint gull]

Oof, that's what, -4? -8?

-2 if youre smart and dont kill teacups

[foggy oriole]

cooked 😭

[mint gull]

Where's Raidian??

Are you doing a challenge run?

[foggy oriole]

top corner

was panicking

[mint gull]

Oh lol

[ivory snow]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[mint gull]

With 16 hp I believe you could have just ignored left, no?

[foggy oriole]

I got cooked

[gaunt bay]

is that leizi s2

[foggy oriole]

how many enemies total on left?

[gaunt bay]

that seems like the problem here

17

[foggy oriole]

is leizi supposed to be on s3

[gaunt bay]

for ed2 yes

as with most bosky stages

[foggy oriole]

I legitimately don't have m3 yet

[mint gull]

For the boss, since it takes multiple spaces, so she melts the boss with s3

[gaunt bay]

its not about the boss

[mint gull]

Me neither lol

[gaunt bay]

its hitcount

[mint gull]

That too

But the S3 on the boss imo is much more useful, she kills the boss in 2 cycles

[foggy oriole]

wait is leizi s3 usable against sami

[gloomy sand]

What to take

[mint gull]

Oh damn, you might be cooking here. I need to test it now

[gloomy sand]

Shalem nearl or quercus

Or ashlock

[mint gull]

Shalom. Save hope

[steel relic]

which IS is this

[gloomy sand]

IS2

[foggy oriole]

IS1 trust

[mint gull]

Nm. Shalom, he gets is2 buff iirc

[gloomy sand]

What does shalom do again i lowkey forgor

Is he like arts dmg

[gaunt bay]

arts damage

[gloomy sand]

Like mid range?

[gaunt bay]

he has a bit of range

hes shit bruh why bother

🚬

[steel relic]

decent range but it's random target, defensive recovery and causes self damage

I would just go Quercus

[gloomy sand]

Do u think ill need more healing than silence

Ok yeah was considering

Wait ashlock could go hard on boss stage no

[gaunt bay]

Drum right 🥹

[steel relic]

ig

finding a shop with enough coupons to refresh it 3 times and enough money to buy everything is so funny

is6 is peak

[mint gull]

Me and my 500 ingots

[steel relic]

Watch me die to the boss and say is6 sucks 5 minutes later

[open finch]

[steel relic]

I got snack basket but Myrtle is just going to shut it off immediately

[gaunt bay]

how surfer uses feel getting snack basket

[urban isle]

Freedom

What 1 healer do to a man

[mint gull]

Wait does that apply to only the first op using their skill? I thought it was first use of skill by each op...

[gaunt bay]

drafting cheeto into using mon3tr on s2 is insane work

[mint gull]

Monster saved my ahh on this stage as well lol

[wicked sandal]

skalter in is6?

[gaunt bay]

[gaunt bay]

is bad

[urban isle]

Look man

[mint gull]

Damn. That actually sucks then wth

[gloomy sand]

Bro is2 is too hard

[urban isle]

This team was actually scraped together

[wicked sandal]

no yeah im just surprised to see skalter

[urban isle]

By hope and dream

[wicked sandal]

it's one of the easier ones

easiest is is5 straight up

[urban isle]

4 of them isn't even mine

[gloomy sand]

Wait i think is3 is so much easier

[wicked sandal]

who buys shop

[urban isle]

Also no relic

[wicked sandal]

[gloomy sand]

Idk ive prob just played more is3 fwiw

[mint gull]

Is3 is hell on earth wdym

[urban isle]

Technically not no

Just low

[wicked sandal]

wow that's nuts

[urban isle]

The joy i got when i can actually use 4* and caster

[gloomy sand]

Wait is3 was like pretty smooth for me

[wicked sandal]

is3 is usually regarded as the hardest

[urban isle]

Man was trapped in is3 for month

[gloomy sand]

Ive lost like 12 times in a row on is2 d6

[gaunt bay]

d15 is3 is pretty free with modern ops

[gloomy sand]

Ts is so dihh

[gaunt bay]

d18 is

[wicked sandal]

fuck ass mode

no agency whatsoever

[gaunt bay]

statbloat slop

[urban isle]

We don't talk about diff 18

Diff 16 is cool

We like diff 16

[gaunt bay]

theres nothing interesting about it its just statbloat

🚬

[wicked sandal]

can't loot

[urban isle]

Diff 17 and 18 doesn't exist

[gaunt bay]

17 is fine

[urban isle]

Weight float

🚬

[mint gull]

What difficulty tho?

[gloomy sand]

D15

Back when d15 was the cap

I am so washed now

[mint gull]

Thats fair lol I still haven't cleared 17 or 18 lol

[halcyon flame]

you dont take m3 s3 on this stage

you goober

and surfer doesnt care about snack basket

because its manual activatin

activation

[wicked sandal]

can't get collectible

the only thing that makes me happy about is3 is neurogenerative disease on passenger + god hand

[eager crater]

guys any effective block placement ?

[gloomy sand]

I keep running greyy nearl start but maybe this is just not the play

[mint gull]

Wait, that's d15 screen? Wth??? How did you pull it off with such scrappy squad??? Did you leak the boss or smth???

[wicked sandal]

guys how do u do this

[gloomy sand]

Ashlock broken

[wicked sandal]

ethan ain't ethaning

[coarse night]

guys i've finally made it to is#6 guided tour floor 5 can anyone help me not mess it up so i can beat the boss

[gloomy sand]

Basically u just cycle mayer meebos and keep ashlock s2ing

[gaunt bay]

d15 pretty free

[mint gull]

Entelecchia goes brrrrrrr

[gaunt bay]

wcyd

[gloomy sand]

@chrome tangle yo what is optimal IS2 start

Greyy nearl?

[steel relic]

wisadel or exu alt

yes that what I said

I wasn't asking a question

I was responding to one

[mint gull]

[steel relic]

thought I was cooked cuz I had the -hp and +atk risk coins and Yi was blasting everyone

turns out 10k atk Dusk is pretty effective

unforeseeable event

[gloomy sand]

🅱️ing

[steel relic]

Tragodia ate 2 ghosts and died immediately

no contribution to the boss

[mint gull]

Rip. That's why you gotta put him bottom right, away from the boss.

[steel relic]

he was there

[mint gull]

Oh, fair lol

[proven dagger]

goddamn

[gloomy sand]

🅱️ynik

[vapid fog]

Maan, i died at the boss at diff5

Thought i had it

Also i keep summoning Dragon Leg and not managing to kill it off

[mint gull]

Damn, better luck next time

[wicked sandal]

what if no entelecchia

[proven dagger]

I'm officially at the point where Yi hits like a truck lmao

got him to phase 2

[pastel saffron]

ascalon or ethan

u need a dps to kill enemies and then someone for hitcount

[wicked sandal]

howd it go

ethan didn't do shit

[mint gull]

Sadge

[wicked sandal]

so I need ascalon s1 too?

man that combat just autofucks me

[mint gull]

For real tho ascalon might be a good replacement

S2 tho

[wicked sandal]

oh s2/

?

okay

actually while im here

who are good guard ops in this is

I've been using executor alter + leizi

executor just synergizes sm with the guard hurt = sp and the ammo stuff

[mint gull]

Oh yeah, I need to try exe/laterano build myself. Ente slaps cuz she has inbuilt dot

[rough kindle]

i wish vagary tiles are color coded, i aint tracking all those collectables and coins tossed

[mint gull]

Tbf I dont think any guard ops are all that good, looking through the roster. Thorns very maybe? At least with his second module.

[wicked sandal]

idk

thorns kinda fell off

hurts to see because thorns carried me when i was new

[mint gull]

It's specifically for his nervous impairment application.

[proven dagger]

the affected vag tiles have cloud effects

[steel relic]

Leizi and Ente are the only notable guards afaik

[halcyon flame]

[steel relic]

Mlynar as a kinda-maybe

[halcyon flame]

mlynar is a generic side grade

[mint gull]

Tbf SA is also pretty decent imo. If I had to go guards, I'd probs go Ente > Leizi >>>> SA

[proven dagger]

leizi sidegrade era

[halcyon flame]

my coffer is crazy rn cynik

[chrome tangle]

I never tried D15 5*s. You need anti air for F2 tho for the spider stage

[odd spire]

how good are the custom squads from the upgrade tree?

[chrome tangle]

So what about krooster

Unless u need greyy for the f1 jetpack em stage

[halcyon flame]

Very good

All of them are strong in their own ways and actually feel good to play

[odd spire]

oh that's nice

[wicked sandal]

what about defenders

[chrome tangle]

@gloomy sand hear me out. Pluma start into survivalist and then you lose

[proven dagger]

silverash is actually good for IS?

[wicked sandal]

ive been using mudrock

or am i trolling

[chrome tangle]

Mudrock does nothing in IS6

[wicked sandal]

lanehold :cope.

[cold fjord]

How do you know?

Thats right weak male

[chrome tangle]

She costs so much DP

[cold fjord]

You don't

[chrome tangle]

I drafted Penance

Same thing!

[wicked sandal]

@halcyon flame who are ur priority recruits?

[proven dagger]

mud3 could work in is6

i feel

i kinda wanna try it out

[wicked sandal]

so are there any good defenders

[proven dagger]

gummy

[wicked sandal]

in is6

(aside from shu idh shu)

[mint gull]

Depends what you mean by good... I'd say hes 3rd best guard for is3, but the chasm between 2nd and 3rd is massive

[proven dagger]

ah

i haven't used Silverash in years

💀

[wicked sandal]

who's that

[mint gull]

+99 dp coin says hello

[wicked sandal]

is that a new op?

[halcyon flame]

For speedrunning, exu raidian trag

[chrome tangle]

Its +99 DP to ur limit

[halcyon flame]

You can take Wis but I personally don’t out of principle

[mint gull]

Yes. But no spoilers in is chat (lol)

[halcyon flame]

I take Lemuen instead

[proven dagger]

let's kiss in the coffer

[cold fjord]

no?
ur pregnant

[chrome tangle]

Why no spoilers wat

[cold fjord]

its +99 initial dp

[halcyon flame]

The bloody coffer mmmm

[proven dagger]

knifeplay in Sui

[chrome tangle]

Sakiko gets mentioned everydau

[cold fjord]

but yes
mudrock is useless

penance is a decent defender

[wicked sandal]

idh wis anyways

[cold fjord]

but still copium tier

[proven dagger]

i can never remember the ave mujica op names

i just call them by their instruments

😭

[wicked sandal]

do u use any defenders

i havent used casters much in this is

oh yeah how do I make ed1 fight easier

i can clear it but my ass clenches all the time

due to the exploding thingies

[mint gull]

Nah. Gummy at best.

[brittle saddle]

is this enough for d10 ed3 i havent really checked a list of recommended ops

[wicked sandal]

aight

[halcyon flame]

Gummy yes, casters are mid, and for ed1

[wicked sandal]

ive been using nearl bec same hope anyways, but ig the stun is better

[halcyon flame]

Do you have trag

[mint gull]

You could pick Shu ig and have her tank the boss at the top of the stage, and put all your dps at the bottom where the flying shits cant get their asses

[pine sun]

Which sniper squad is better
The OG one or the new one with the caster/supporter hope-2

[halcyon flame]

If you have trag do this

[wicked sandal]

yeah

[proven dagger]

i found logos pretty serviceable

[halcyon flame]

This is trag cycle for ED1

[mint gull]

No Exu2? She was an MVP for my clear.

[cold fjord]

logo is kinda mid

i dont really like casters
nymph is good tho

[wicked sandal]

huh

[brittle saddle]

no spec tickets the entire run

[halcyon flame]

Logos could service something else

[proven dagger]

i find his DOT cozy

bro

wild

[wicked sandal]

wait what dictates which lanes yi does his thing

[halcyon flame]

His position on the map

[cold fjord]

the phase and his postion

[wicked sandal]

oh interesting

i thought it was just random

[nocturne cape]

relative to the row he is in

[mint gull]

Its so bs that the og caster only gives a -1 discount when recruiting. Wth man

[wicked sandal]

also he gets lured by cat?

ive never seen him follow cat

[nocturne cape]

only when he isnt channeling

[wicked sandal]

oh I see

[mint gull]

Good luck. You might struggle for damage on bottom or upper side, depending which one wis is covering

Hopefully your Nara can compensate tho

[brittle saddle]

dmg isnt a problem for this clear in particular cuz i was compensated with a 100 ingot chalice, i should be good

[pine sun]

True but already promoted

[brittle saddle]

good to know tho

[mint gull]

Only the first one tho.

[mint gull]

You might check a run to see the stage beforehand, but imo Nara would be better covering bottom half, since it got a lot more enemies, while top side has those annoying things that eat your blockers

[wicked sandal]

also why do the middle enemies + last wave of enemies on the right change

sometimes it's the red jetski looking things, sometimes its the talisman mage, sometimes its the fire lance guys

[brittle saddle]

the dragons lose all defense once they eat smth right?

[wicked sandal]

idk about all but they get sm softer

[nocturne cape]

yes

1800 -> 0

[mint gull]

What are those dragons called again?

[nocturne cape]

pseudomuts

[steel relic]

wiki says they lose 1500 def

but also that they have 1500 so idk if it's actually all

[wicked sandal]

for ed1

[nocturne cape]

it lose all the def they have

[wicked sandal]

is it just random

[brittle saddle]

weird that the enemy guide says nothing about it tho

[nocturne cape]

are you looking at d15 stats

[steel relic]

no wiki only shows d0 stats

[nocturne cape]

they are 1800 on D15

but i think they are indeed 1500 on lower diff

either case, it loses all its DEF

[brittle saddle]

a lot of the stages in this is just have different variations, ig the yi fight is one of them

[cold fjord]

hg makes piss descriptions for their enemies
more news at 7

[nocturne cape]

ok misinfo

i checked tomimi

they lose flat 1500

teehee

🥹

[wicked sandal]

i see

[steel relic]

[nocturne cape]

effect says -1500 still

[wicked sandal]

so for specialists

[nocturne cape]

i am very confused

0 or 300

[wicked sandal]

it's ethan exu ascalon

ascalon s1 or 2

[mint gull]

S2

[cold fjord]

Ok so the pipeline is

You go be a good cn player

And while playing check tomimi

And if you lose because of the 300 def

then you can say u got scammed
and then it will be correct on the next update

[nocturne cape]

ill test it when i have time

0 DEF should be easy enough to test

[mint gull]

Legend.

[halcyon flame]

cube gonna do a lot of things while he has time

[nocturne cape]

yeah bro

[steel relic]

do they regain the def if you stun them so they fall back down

[nocturne cape]

im going on a trip today

wont be back till tuesday

and then theres

[cold fjord]

trip to where

[nocturne cape]

fixing guide, making new guide, test this test that

[halcyon flame]

i start work again on tuesday

so im cooked as well

[nocturne cape]

this guy is doxxing me

get out of here

[cold fjord]

[nocturne cape]

Its not like i enjoy this version of is6 the most

I want my swire and hoshi and haruka

[ivory snow]

pray

[wicked sandal]

damn im trolling huh

i swear i read somewhere ascalon uses s1 in is6

[mint gull]

I mean i might be wrong or smth, but I tried s1 few times (esp when I had that coin that gave +20/-10 sp randomly), and she was unable to cope, but her s2 felt really strong. So maybe I'm trolling lol

[nocturne cape]

S1 sucks

[foggy roost]

Hello, what are the best IS6 starts for Exualt ? I don't have Roberta

[wicked sandal]

figured

[wicked sandal]

raidian all the way

if ur d9 u can get kettle and start with both exu and radian

[nocturne cape]

You dont need kettle

[foggy roost]

Oooh I see!! So Myrtle + Raidian + Exu ?

[nocturne cape]

You need kettle before D9 or on D15

[mint gull]

Where do you get+1 hope from ? I swear you start with 7 hope only

[nocturne cape]

D9 node on talent tree

+1 starting hope

That makes it 7

Before D15 6 stars cost 6

[wicked sandal]

wait rlly

[steel relic]

isn't Raidian + Exu 8

[nocturne cape]

1 to e2 raidian and 6 to recruit exu

[wicked sandal]

im trolling then

[nocturne cape]

On D15

So you still need kettle on D15

[wicked sandal]

oh no wait

[nocturne cape]

But not D9-D14

[mint gull]

Ooh! Youre starting with the 5 reserve + raidian squad!

[wicked sandal]

im talking about non tac support

[nocturne cape]

Yes, Special Squad

[forest orchid]

Why are both Narantuya and Ascalon hood in IS6?

[mint gull]

Thats fair. For every other squad you do need kettle to start with Raidian + Exu2 tho

[nocturne cape]

Naran = dodge relic user, good e1, strong early combat power, atk steal is useful against ed2

Ascalon is hitcount and stall, exceptional at both

[mint gull]

And Ente. Dont forget about my girl Ente

[wicked sandal]

who are good snipers aside from naran

or is it just naran

[nocturne cape]

Wisadel

[halcyon flame]

lemuen

[mint gull]

Archetto

[wicked sandal]

no wisadel

[gaunt bay]

ros

[mint gull]

Blue Poison

[wicked sandal]

naran prio?

[wicked sandal]

ros feels so

idk clunky in this is

[nocturne cape]

Naran 1st sniper draft is fine

[forest orchid]

even better than Federico?

[gaunt bay]

exec alter is kinda w/e

[wicked sandal]

okay so

[gaunt bay]

the thing about entel is that shes for hitcount

[mint gull]

Idk about FedEx if you get the ammo relics, but without ammo relics - absolutely. Ente dot goes brrrrrrr

[inner gyro]

is Kroos Alter Yan-ese?

[mint gull]

And her S3 is really nice at chucking enemies with high def

[prime mountain]

Are any of the IS6 specific squads worth running or we sticking to class squads

[nocturne cape]

No

[wicked sandal]

vanguard: myrtle, maybe ines, canta
caster: not rlly
defender: gummy
sniper: naran, lemon
guard: leizi, horse (?)
supporter: raidian, trag, shamare
specialist: ethan, exu, ascalon
medic: kaltsit

[gaunt bay]

wtf

this is so slop

[nocturne cape]

All 3 are decent

[gaunt bay]

for vanguard take surfer canta

for guard add windscoot luoxiaohei, theyre yan

[inner gyro]

Who are counted as Yan in the 5* and below in the sniper class?

[mint gull]

Class squads feel weak this IS, believe it or not.

[nocturne cape]

? Didnt know youre a kroos lover

[prime mountain]

what are you yapping about, tac fort literally meta

[gaunt bay]

excuse me but i am number one krooster shill

[nocturne cape]

[wicked sandal]

oh damn i forgot about the cat

canta sure

[gaunt bay]

wait why not yan tho

🥹

whats the explanation

[prime mountain]

Is this just a they forgor?

[wicked sandal]

oh lmao I forgot about medics

aside from kaltsit who else should i draft for medics

[gaunt bay]

purestream

[nocturne cape]

Dont ask me

[wicked sandal]

mon2r? reedic? ng?

[gaunt bay]

ts so cock

shes literally from ling's event

[wicked sandal]

eyja?

[gaunt bay]

this game sucks

its just kal

purestream for yan

[nocturne cape]

Reedic is fine too

[gaunt bay]

but even kal is kinda piss 🥹

[nocturne cape]

If you can afford

[mint gull]

+2 dep limit +2 squad size is slept on, cuz of the coin it gives. It's a bit vulnerable early game, but late game? Oh ho ho ho!

[wicked sandal]

is just being chinese enough to draft

[nocturne cape]

Lowkey yeah

[inner gyro]

thank god there's Jieyun
Clutch recruit for that Doubt requirement

[nocturne cape]

[wicked sandal]

damn

[wicked sandal]

what makes swire good

[gaunt bay]

it is a very chinese time in IS

[wicked sandal]

I have her built

[nocturne cape]

Thats not a list of good ops

[wicked sandal]

chinese?

[nocturne cape]

Thats a list of yan ops

Although swire alter with IS mod is pretty good

[wicked sandal]

swire chinese?

[nocturne cape]

We should have it next month

[wicked sandal]

isnt she lungmen

[gaunt bay]

This is what integrated strategies would look like if it were black or chinese

[hearty plaza]

Lungmen is considered yan

[nocturne cape]

Lungmen is yan

[wicked sandal]

oh what's her is mod

[nocturne cape]

Its on wiki

[gaunt bay]

she does more damage if u have more money

type shit

[wicked sandal]

right

[nocturne cape]

Basically she scales with ingot count and can reduce rdp time for other ops

[wicked sandal]

geography

lungmen inside yan

[nocturne cape]

Good damage

[gaunt bay]

technically no

[steel relic]

why would that matter bruh

[gaunt bay]

its outside of yan mainland

[inner gyro]

Wait that means the chariot curio's stacks too?

[mint gull]

Oh man, I need to borrow swire and test her with the ingot build. Is there a cap on her scaling?

[gaunt bay]

bruh everyone else from yan events are considered yan

[steel relic]

Lava alter

[nocturne cape]

60 ingot iirc

Or 65

I forgot

[gaunt bay]

i think they forgot about her as well

[mint gull]

Oh wait that's crap then qq

[wicked sandal]

oh i see

[steel relic]

it's not forgetting

[nocturne cape]

Still pretty neat

[steel relic]

they're straight up not Yan

[nocturne cape]

She does comparable damage as exu2 in ending 2

[gaunt bay]

theyre legit in yan bruh

[nocturne cape]

While providing utilities

[wicked sandal]

how is my italian chinese

[mint gull]

True ig I thought id be cooking if I accumulated 500+ ingots lol

[nocturne cape]

Penguin logistics

[steel relic]

in yan but from elsewhere, and still employed by Rhodes

[nocturne cape]

I love using swire alter

[wicked sandal]

[nocturne cape]

One of my fav ops to use in is6

[prime mountain]

Bro but the penguin gals arent all FROM yan

this logic ass

[steel relic]

Penguin is in Lungmen bruh

Rhodes is not

[gaunt bay]

which is why the operators that are

outside of yan
employed by rhodes/laterano/siracusa
from outside of yan
are considered yan?

[prime mountain]

Was exu born in lungmen or not idk

[gaunt bay]

no bro its laterano

[nocturne cape]

No

[gaunt bay]

same with texas with siracusa

[steel relic]

no she's Laterano

[nocturne cape]

Shes from laterano

[prime mountain]

This makes no fucking sense then

[gaunt bay]

they meet none of the 3 conditions

texas works in siracusa, not with pl rn

exu works with laterano, not with pl

[nocturne cape]

Dont forget guys chalter is not Yanese yet according to IS6

[gaunt bay]

kroos and lava live in yan and work in yan and are not yan

like

[nocturne cape]

Taking one trip ruins your nationality it seems

[gaunt bay]

[prime mountain]

Legit worst part of this IS

Actually unplayable

[feral schooner]

What does the special battle in pathfinder do?

[gaunt bay]

her citizenship got revoked for taking 1 vacation

absolute cinema

[forest orchid]

idk

[mint gull]

I just checked and youre right! Wth! That makes NO sense!

[halcyon flame]

@cold fjord

i did it

[steel relic]

you're legit all balls

[mint gull]

Wait you got 2 complex locks? Wth?

[steel relic]

Texas alt isn't even Siracusa main faction in game

[gaunt bay]

okay but were legit talking about how it doesnt make sense for the context of lore

:realmad:

were talking about how it should be not their current classifcation

[hearty plaza]

Being part of rhodes island revokes ur citizenship ig

[prime mountain]

except when it doesnt

[forest orchid]

Do kings still exist in Is6 or they were vanished to Darkamiyas realm¿

[gaunt bay]

theyre residents of yan with jobs in yan

[mint gull]

One of the new updates tacked on bunch more factions to each character tho

[steel relic]

yes that's what the subfaction tag is

[wicked sandal]

idt kings exist anymore

[gaunt bay]

they dont

[steel relic]

if you look closely at Kroos, neither of them are Yanese

[mint gull]

Kings is gone, sadly

[cold fjord]

Nice

[prime mountain]

But texas counts in game as yanese for IS6 yeah?

[gaunt bay]

yeah and they should be because they work and live in yan

and were saying texas shouldnt because she doesnt work with pl rn and has no ties with anything yan or lungmen

[forest orchid]

dont worry , im the biggest lamp hater

[hearty plaza]

Actually you are right, blaze is considered yan so idk anymore

[steel relic]

yes because she's penguin

[prime mountain]

Which we have determined to be stupid

[gaunt bay]

so yan is for your job title or past job title
but not for residency

[vital mason]

how many try have you done for success the first ending?

[gaunt bay]

so by that logic if i get employed remotely by a chinese company im no longer american but im chinese even if i live in america

[mint gull]

That's fair. Thought Wiki might be missing few factions tags. But yeah, makes no sense for kroos and lava to not be Yan affiliated. Weird af

[forest orchid]

Did but u have to kill yi another 2 times to E2 Russian Irene (Radian)

[steel relic]

I'm gonna throw all of you off a roof bruh

[gaunt bay]

Do it. Or no balls.

[final gale]

[mint gull]

Damn. Thats a free Yanese!

[gaunt bay]

okay but flags suck

you take surfer canta

[prime mountain]

How much do you actually need yanese operators if you dont do exu raidian tho

[mint gull]

Worst take of 2025?

[gaunt bay]

you dont draft flagbearers in is 🥱

theyre old news

[prime mountain]

Myrtle cause 4* and we dont have the agent yet

[gaunt bay]

beanstalk

[steel relic]

the agent is worse

[gaunt bay]

👍

[hearty plaza]

Flag when there's talismen

[gaunt bay]

also yeah the agent sucks

[prime mountain]

damn is5 creature only

[mint gull]

You dont really need them tbf you just use them for that node in sui bosky

[prime mountain]

cant be real

[gaunt bay]

okay but that implies doing exu radian

[mint gull]

I beg to differ. My Myrtle has been working overtime this IS.

[gaunt bay]

i think ur just bad

https://tenor.com/view/mpreg-this-man-horse-react-him-horse-react-mpreg-react-male-pregnancy-gif-2323501253009278485

[gaunt bay]

you reap what you sow

[mint gull]

Well, that backfired lol

[forest orchid]

I dont care priestess crying

[mint gull]

I don't deny this accusation. Still, I feel like I am at a much bigger DP constraint in this IS compared to old IS. My Myrtle keeps printing dp non-stop

[gaunt bay]

i think you havent used agents enough

[nocturne cape]

Myrtle is decent enough early

Once youve taken ed3 relics she not that great anymore

[steel relic]

I'm gonna start runnign Puzzle Stainless just for you Kiwi

[mint gull]

I have used agents. But I have noticed i need a lot more DP than agents seem to provide me with.

[forest orchid]

Which is the worst IS boss ever made?

[gaunt bay]

bro ever since i started playing special squad ive gotten zero supporter vouchers

[nocturne cape]

Peak

Isnt stainless in shop rn

[gaunt bay]

agents will provide you with more dp than flags

[steel relic]

idk

[nocturne cape]

My unlisted vid has 1.5k views

Thats crazy

[prime mountain]

You're John is6 bro, local celebrity

[nocturne cape]

Honestly tho

I think people should opt to just raidian s1 later

Feels weird that you have to draft 2 supporters

[steel relic]

yeah Stainless is in shop

[nocturne cape]

Raidian s1 is good enough for ed1

Especially if sp regen is present

[steel relic]

I should finish building him

[mint gull]

Idk man, I might be bad but Myrtle has been goated, even in my Ed3 run, especially when you're doing stages for the first time and dont know where it's safe to place agents and where it's not.

I just put my Myrtyle in the corner and she's been feeding me enough DP to not get overrun.

[prime mountain]

always have enemies near the statuegeist 👍

[forest orchid]

?

[mint gull]

She was good enough for D10 Ed2+3 at the very least lll

[prime mountain]

On release or rn

On release bear is balls

[steel relic]

Crazelyseon

[forest orchid]

in both sides

[prime mountain]

Sentinel on release was also balls and still is

[forest orchid]

even than Quilon?

[prime mountain]

Quilon is fine

[steel relic]

yes

[mint gull]

Quilon was interesting tho

[forest orchid]

Quilon is ethernal suffering

[robust grail]

Quilon wasn't hard on release

[forest orchid]

to me

[gaunt bay]

uh oh jane is5 glazer is here

[robust grail]

yes

[prime mountain]

The boss stages are fine outside of stat bloat which ruins the whole gamemode

[forest orchid]

hard
it is an ethernal fight angaist bot getting the ignots and the voucher rng with his shitty boats

[agile hill]

guys is leifapunishment worth taking?

[robust grail]

it was only d15

so it's pretty trivial

Sent is harder

[prime mountain]

Is this also leizi solo at higher diff? didnt expect the s1 shenanigans to work so well

[forest orchid]

Bro
I do feel Quilon is a fcking statstick with the lighnings and enemies oneshotting everything

[gaunt bay]

f5 no supp voucher

[prime mountain]

Thats more is5 specific than quilon though, dunno what you wanna class it as

[gaunt bay]

🥹

[robust grail]

Quilon is whatever

he's actually quite trivial

the actual hard part is learning pathing and shop rob

Its either insanely rough or stupidly easy if you have weedy and life points

so stupid

[forest orchid]

I do feel Quilons path to ending wouldnt be that painful

[gaunt bay]

how the hell do you even do ed2 left side while still have enough dp to deal with whatever the fuck else is going on in that damn stage

There is no ed2 left side on ba sing se (but fr either have 18 hp or Ascalon and it becomes trivial)

[mint gull]

Fair. I haven't tried it past d10 yet

[robust grail]

is5 ed3

because it REWARDS you

[inland elbow]

it's so fucking boring

[robust grail]

how dare a boss reward you

[foggy oriole]

jesus christ ente usage

[halcyon flame]

rewards you en route

AND in the stage

diabolcal

[forest orchid]

since when Santka Patriot rewards you?

[prime mountain]

Free bosky

[steel relic]

free boss stage

[prime mountain]

• free portal in stage for doing ed5 alongside it

[cold fjord]

the 50% dr coffins in the stage

[foggy oriole]

where is the ente tile, also I assume s2?

[halcyon flame]

s2

[gaunt bay]

its so diabolical

[robust grail]

i wonder if d18 13 is easier than d0 245

[halcyon flame]

and the tile i use is right under the ranged tile

face right

[robust grail]

probably

[halcyon flame]

doubt

mainly cause en route

[cold fjord]

Well ur a 13 warrior

So u should know

[robust grail]

maybe it is for a newbie then

[forest orchid]

13 easier than 245 cuz Quilon do Exist

[nocturne cape]

Prob not

En route is hard enough

[forest orchid]

En route?

[prime mountain]

Not blowing up to regular army

Even outside of just the endings he means

[gaunt bay]

elusive merc

[mint gull]

Or that one w stage qq

[robust grail]

you say that cuz only you explode to em merc

🥀

[forest orchid]

Which IS bosses do need nerf?

[halcyon flame]

nothing lol

they are all solved

[nocturne cape]

None

[cold fjord]

some need buffs

👍

[prime mountain]

where relicless amiya t3 egg grrrr

[forest orchid]

needing buffs?

[foggy oriole]

btw is ente starter a thing

[halcyon flame]

IS patch notes - we've removed a known bug dubbed the furillo highroll from the game

[foggy oriole]

or am I throwing

[halcyon flame]

yes

its very real

for vgg and special squad

[cold fjord]

U can start e1 entle

[nocturne cape]

Entel Roberta purestream

[cold fjord]

Ur mpreg for doing it

But it can work

[ivory snow]

I find rather going to bosses harder than the bosses themselves.

[halcyon flame]

i cant wait for garden gambling 3 smile

[robust grail]

yes, en route is hard

[gaunt bay]

entelslop

cubeslop

[halcyon flame]

see 40k points makes sense in mahjong so john -40k will get -400k

[nocturne cape]

If you don't have Roberta then you leak f1 big bob

[prime mountain]

Why are you such an entel hater kiwi

[forest orchid]

Why?

[nocturne cape]

And the mouse stage

[gaunt bay]

im not i just enjoy shitting on cube for shilling her

[halcyon flame]

cause they see euthy and mika haitng it

and mika nd euhty hate it beacuse they are chronic wis exu abusers

so they never need to use ente

smile

[forest orchid]

Tragodia start > Exualter, Wisadel start

[nocturne cape]

I will restart my e1 entel mission after swore IS mod

[gaunt bay]

@steel relic whats the standard jessica skill

[agile hill]

*dies in floor 1 battle 1.

[nocturne cape]

Why do you always say guys and ping me

Genuinely curious

[halcyon flame]

respectfully, thats for lower diffculties. Trag becomes less must pick in higher d

Also I save my hope for candles in second floor. So...

[prime mountain]

[halcyon flame]

mfers duo ed1 boss and lock him in red box its so jobber

[robust grail]

guys i love you all @nocturne cape

[nocturne cape]

🪢

[halcyon flame]

once u have raidian built u just use s1 summons to stall his ass

trag is still good if you find the relic combos

IE rope and frd coin

but hes not a must pick

[forest orchid]

Yeah
Radian in IS is broken

[forest orchid]

which are must picks?

[icy ice]

Does choosing this in the wander into wonderland node still give me the -2 hope discount like in Pathfinder nodes?

[nocturne cape]

Yes

[mint gull]

Wait do raidian buffs apply to all IS, or only 6?

[halcyon flame]

raidian exu, outside of exus power its also her barrier for ed2 stomps

[ivory snow]

yes

[gaunt bay]

is6 relic quality so good every run feels like a highroll

[halcyon flame]

otherwise ur ops will just die

[icy ice]

Ok thanks

[cold fjord]

only 6

in other IS she sucks

👍

[halcyon flame]

for ed3 right now its puresteram

[steel relic]

summoner (derogatory)

[gaunt bay]

okay time to test ascalon

[halcyon flame]

when haruka drops she jobbers that stage even harder then itis

[nocturne cape]

Can we cook def supp raidian in is5

[ivory snow]

only 6. she is like made for is6.

coz reasons

that smile though... she's hiding things

[prime mountain]

15% inspiration carry for stats yep

[forest orchid]

Does wisadel star work?
Exuless

[mint gull]

Fair. Shame tho.

[forest orchid]

[prime mountain]

Borrow exu and draft wish en route would be better

[mint gull]

Ngl Walter s2 kinda slaps in this is

[nocturne cape]

Wis start works tho

[wraith warren]

What kinda devil thought this was a good stage

[prime mountain]

it works but bro has no exu to draft later

[forest orchid]

True
Rn drafting Tragodia to +D2 Radian mission

[forest orchid]

Yeah

[ivory snow]

[prime mountain]

I vote this for worst designed regular stage of any IS ever

like??????

Oh you dont have a vanguard below 12 dp? get fucked

[steel relic]

it's literally not a regular stage though

[mint gull]

I mean, you have 2 invis ranged tiles. Seems like an easy level

[ivory snow]

I doubt that's a regular stage

[prime mountain]

Bosky stages are regular stages fight me

[forest orchid]

This stage >>>>>>>>> Sentinel at devilness

[nocturne cape]

*throws a punch

[forest orchid]

forgot u have 1 ammo generator + Ch12 crossbowers

[pastel saffron]

who said is6 is gon make it harder for wisadel

[mint gull]

I only got that version once, but I swear there aint no invis reveal on that stage?

[pastel saffron]

[mint gull]

The bigger issue is that invis enemy top left imo lol

[forest orchid]

true

Instakaltsit E2 or not
D1 and in F1

[pastel saffron]

this means the killing blow would have to be dealt with raidain?

[ivory snow]

what the...

[mint gull]

I believe so, thats how I got that unlock. I retreated all my ops other than my shu, and let raidian go to town on Yi's stage 2

[pastel saffron]

isn't raidain dookie dmg tho

guess I need relics

prolly gon do trag stall again...

[mint gull]

Lol absolutely not! She's got massive dps!

[forest orchid]

doesnt trag make so much?

[desert brook]

prioritize aerial target
does talisman stop becoming aerial when attached?

[prime mountain]

It does yeah

[pastel saffron]

wdym?

[prime mountain]

Otherwise melee ops wouldnt be able to clear their own talisman

[mint gull]

What did you end up picking? I would have skipped E2-ing kal myself. Feel like usually can't spare hope for Kal, e2 doesnt add much and e1 is a good enough stall

[foggy oriole]

if you whiff the ed2 legend node rng option is the route just cooked

[desert brook]

true

[lofty quiver]

This one's pissin me off

[mint gull]

Also, melee ops can attack ranged ops talismans, fun fact

[forest orchid]

didnt do it

[forest orchid]

E2 is her IS mod

[nocturne cape]

Talisman has taunt

[desert brook]

yeah but trait has higher prio than taunt

[mint gull]

Yeah ik but it's not worth still imo. Kal doesn't really do much this IS.

[nocturne cape]

[gaunt bay]

:lappphone:

[forest orchid]

she has true dmg + secondary heal and she get benefit from summon related relivs

[gaunt bay]

the true dmg doesnt matter much

its the s2

[forest orchid]

why S2 used over S3?

[desert brook]

i spent 3 candles doing one fight hell yea

[mint gull]

You'd think that would make her a strong pick in IS6, wouldnt you lol I tried to make her work, but she feels awkward. You really only want her as a portable tank

[foggy oriole]

bro why the hell does ente s2 count wisadel spikes but not roberta boxes

[mint gull]

Aspd + attacks multiple enemies

[nocturne cape]

Because one is a summon the other is a device?

[forest orchid]

ok

[foggy oriole]

oh ok that makes semse

[mint gull]

Because its an allied device. I dont think it counts on Weedy turret or NG bird cages either

[foggy oriole]

btw anybody knows this

[nocturne cape]

Yes

You lose ed2

[forest orchid]

Ok

[foggy oriole]

jesus fuck this is is2 ass rng all over again

"I hope this isn't the ending encounter"

"Reprieve"

[prime mountain]

Dw it becomes prophecy later

devs cooked

[mint gull]

She's still decent tho! Just as a bodyshield, not really much of a dps.

[vital mason]

how do you kill the fishing guy ?

[nocturne cape]

I have no idea why we don't get is6 with qol

[foggy oriole]

the ed2?

[nocturne cape]

Ig its yostar being a lazy bum

Yes

It will have a standalone node type in bosly

[foggy oriole]

like a prophecy node in the grid map?

[nocturne cape]

Yes

[foggy oriole]

hell yeah

[nocturne cape]

This will happen before expansion 1

But God knows when

[forest orchid]

how many months wer between IS6 launch and ecpansion I in CN?

[nocturne cape]

Like 3 months?

[gaunt bay]

cube should i build cheeto

[nocturne cape]

Orb4

[gaunt bay]

🥹

[prime mountain]

💀

[gaunt bay]

wait how long do we have until hoshi

[mint gull]

Speaking of expansions, we're getting 2 outfits with the expansions! That's so cool! I think it's normally 1 outfit per IS, no?

[gaunt bay]

i need to see if i can afford to build them

actually i need to build swire as well

ts so piss

[steel relic]

about a month

[forest orchid]

How worth is Gnosis IS mod?

[gaunt bay]

swire is s3m3 only right
