starting from next node all nodes will have up and down pathes

ngl, specialist ticket feels a bit weak this IS; the frd are generally feel worse than agents, map placement feels really awkward for ela, ascalon and mizuki are nice but the talisman swordsmen and ending 3 relic makes sustain an issue

giving us an is6 dedicated op in a mode that really wants yan operators who isnt one is kinda....
vagrant chasm
isnt exia alt yan?
prime mountain
Yep because the penguin logistics girls count
But not everyone who lives in lungmen only SOME
Apparently
woeful adder
i had issues with exia alt or chen alt being counted as one
prime mountain
Chen alt isnt currently counted I think
vagrant chasm
does one of exia grand grand father a dragon fucker

i had both on my squad + texas and qiubai and did not get the trigger for 4 yan ops
prime mountain
i had both on my squad + texas and qiubai and did not get the trigger for 4 yan ...
Yeah so chen alt doesnt count yet
They change it in a qol update later

its kinda semantic but regular exia should count as yan but not exia alt cause of occupation

Oh you sometimes work in the region of yan? you're yanese now!

its semantic just weird stuff like andreana being AH
prime mountain
Andreana is just like lowlight OC that never became story relevant
vagrant chasm
ye but as far as i remember the few months from launch her faction is rhodes
it changed to AH i assume cause her aspd buff doesnt work
prime mountain
ye but as far as i remember the few months from launch her faction is rhodes
Yeah but we had barely any factions back then and it was only relevant for very few units so its fine they updated it later
They literally just added new tags for a lot of units and still the yan thing doesnt make sense

if you have another dps you can deploy them as the boss retreats all your other ops
to handle the right side as you wait for redeploy

at 9 risk and 1 flower (silk) youre guaranteed to win
