[odd rose]

what does this do

[flint token]

self descriptive

[final gale]

this seems like geexu s3 thingy

[flint token]

Does exu s3 things

[neat pike]

Fuck you yi

[sinful sparrow]

seems good to me

[odd rose]

i was doing so well then my brain stopped working

[neat pike]

I have 5 risk coin and they roll 4 balany

[sinful sparrow]

[odd rose]

how do you even?

[sinful sparrow]

avg

[odd rose]

i got e1

[slate hull]

who is a good low-cost arts operator with a fast attack speed? the stage that spawns 2 crabs that then turn into 4 cups each that can only be killed by getting hit by arts/true damage is kind of a nightmare

[sudden cloak]

Click(?)

Ethan S1 is a go to for these dot type of enemies

[sinful sparrow]

podenco, ethan

[neat pike]

Bring ethan and click

[sinful sparrow]

alternatively, take entechia/ascalon so they will also help out a bit in exemplary service

[neat pike]

But so far im using only raidian and ond art dmg it solve it

[slate hull]

yeah, I usually try to go for ascalon, just want a backup in case I get unlucky

[tame sand]

Orderly Placation... Which ending is this?

[sinful sparrow]

1

2 is Scroll of Scars
3 is Black-and-White Abstrusity

[neat pike]

Now thats better

[sinful sparrow]

should’ve saved all the debuff tongbaos

and toss all of them in 1 toss

[odd rose]

is this what makes her free?

[nocturne cape]

elite2

[odd rose]

?

[nocturne cape]

You need her Elite 2 to get the free Raidian in special squad

[odd rose]

oh ok

[neat pike]

That my 1st floor earlier

[ripe summit]

I gotta say. I get why people said this IS6 is relatively easier. I'm glad I manage to get d3 after scratching my head a few times. But it is still hard. Take it from me with relatively new account that haven't got My E2 figured out yet.

[sinful sparrow]

good evening

[nocturne cape]

Hi mika

[ripe summit]

Everything the same except e2 raidian and silence. I do wanna see how far can I go

[nocturne cape]

Nice

Pretty impressive that you got to D3 with that

[ripe summit]

Realistically by the looks of it. Can I get to d5?

My aim rn is d4 since I wanna M1 raidian skill

[glossy phoenix]

can mizuki handle hit based enemies or is that just ethan ascalon

[nocturne cape]

You kinda want to borrow a good op to help

[sinful sparrow]

same run right
i got chalice and chalice coin

[nocturne cape]

But sure i think D5 looks doable

[sinful sparrow]

shame the run isn't done cuz of work

🥀

[ripe summit]

I borrow exu covenant and blue poison

I haven't got the other ending yet since I dunno how

[fervent sedge]

Why is IS6 so miserable, half the time i cant even make it to the boss, other half i get (REDACTED) by the unblockable mfs after the boss goes into phase 2, someone help me lmao

[odd rose]

20 years later

[nocturne cape]

If only i saved my caster

Nvm we are entel gaming

[sinful sparrow]

Why the heck is bro doing leader squad

pls dont say medal hunt

[nocturne cape]

D12

[sinful sparrow]

i will cry on the spot if you do that

[nocturne cape]

Its medal hunt

[sinful sparrow]

😭

[nocturne cape]

Plus i think leader is decent enough

[crisp scaffold]

Ahh it's amazing

[nocturne cape]

I had a 57 relic game on leader today

Its not the worst squad i promise

[hasty crater]

This is just wants you to have an already lined up strategy for Ending bosses or they'll pop you

[sinful sparrow]

my runs have been 35 relics avg

and 2 mpreg relic

[nocturne cape]

Meanwhile i have a 57 relic game and still havent seen chalice at all

Crazy

[sinful sparrow]

😢

[fervent sedge]

Can someone then teach me how to do this bs

[hasty crater]

Just go search up the stages idk and figure out which units that you have that can deal with most stages and be helpful in the ending bosses

There's also a progression guide and etc. on pins

Anyways does anyone know what this means

[slate hull]

what is the consensus on 3 candles vs 1 hope at the end of the first floor? I keep going for hope, but I notice that I never really hit 0 hope, so maybe I should be going for candles

[main bison]

GPG ruining more IS6 runs

[crimson nest]

Literally what it means

[main bison]

literally didn't even get past the first node

[slate hull]

I was wondering about that myself when I saw that at the store, I imagine it deploys 5 copies in a + formation

[zinc path]

if you place one landmine it places four adjacent landmines

[neat pike]

NEVER take cantonese something curio if you plan going end 2 or THIS ENCOUNTER

It was a perfect run until this stupid thing happened

[hasty crater]

Damn this must be so fucky with the snowsant and sp supports

[zinc path]

iirc with the sp supports the sp generators feed each other which makes them faster. not sure how the interaction with the snowsant crane works though

[neat pike]

4 fog machine also good tho

[hasty crater]

Weird interaction but that's interesting

Thanks for the info

[burnt lantern]

Why i cant travel vertically freely?

[zinc path]

that coin doesn't give you free moves. it just allows you to move vertically anywhere (but you still have to pay the coupons)

[agile hill]

stir fry only gain stack while you have it and you complete a battle inside wonderland, the fact that you didn't take any fight is a good reason to take it early

[burnt lantern]

But i got the ingot

[zinc path]

it just eats 5 ingots every time you toss it.

[slate hull]

yeah, that is the downside, you can travel vertically anywhere as long as you have the coin, but you will lose 5 ingots whenever it gets randomly picked

[burnt lantern]

Sorry i am a bit slow.. but, what does travrl vertically mean? If I cant move up / down the node

[zinc path]

you can travel up and down the mode

it just costs 3 coupons

these things

[burnt lantern]

Ooooh it still use coupon!! I thought it change coupom with ingot..

Thx all!!

[zinc path]

no problem!

is it just me or is ethan s1 like mandatory

especially for the feng shui stage

[round trellis]

not really, it helps a lot but isn't totally necessary

[slate hull]

yep, I am noticing a lot of hitcount mechanics and stages that benefit from slow

[round trellis]

i've beaten it leakless with raidian e2 and exu/trag before

but it does help a lot

[zinc path]

i guess im taking ethan or greyyalt every run. no trag unfortunately

[polar flint]

if you do ascalon or wisadel start then no not really

[round trellis]

so if you don't see any need for the specialist tickets in the future, ethan is a good pick

[neat pike]

I have 99 coin risk, it instantly wake up whole seaborn

[round trellis]

any source of splash mostly solves the stage, exu s2, flingers, etc

oh, sorry, responded to wrong comment kek

[zinc path]

sui's wraith IS3 uni bonna soma

[round trellis]

was talking about feng sui

[neat pike]

Oh

[round trellis]

i had that happen with the map with 6 sarkaz gurgebearers

EM

[neat pike]

Frfr

[round trellis]

fun time

[neat pike]

At least sarkaz doesnt stun your ops

[round trellis]

only takes 2 of them to start one shotting....

[zinc path]

hmmmm how viable is ros start in is6. flinger hand isn't a thing anymore but it should work right

[round trellis]

and all 6 wake up at once

[nocturne cape]

Just like the old times

[zinc path]

yay ros skin

[nocturne cape]

[zinc path]

i got jumpscared by the new skin drop when i logged in today

best christmas surprise

[inland elbow]

Can't wait to find out the ros skin messes with some niche interaction

[zinc path]

at least she's happy

[mint gull]

Oh really? That sucks! Still, chalice no question.

[nocturne cape]

Was there a case like that?

[inland elbow]

Angelina bloodline of combat skin makes her projectile land one frame faster

[zinc path]

so for the one relic that gives you bonuses when a candleguest is "promoted by combat," that's referring to when you go through the combat option with the lightning tiles to promote candleguests right?

[inland elbow]

Gnosis skin had some interaction in ccb2

Where it made him target the incorrect enemy I think

[unkempt lion]

Would y'all recommend I focus on is6 before going to is5? Not sure how useful raidian could be in is5 and I just finished the other three IS

[polar flint]

do is6 first since its just recently released and getting the points will be faster

[chrome tangle]

she will not be useful outside of IS6

[polar flint]

plus you can ask here more easily

[odd rose]

nothing to do here

[zinc path]

you get similar or less value to using a borrowed Ling probably

[polar flint]

i don't think any of the is welfare ops are useful outside of their respective is

[chrome tangle]

Ling is not doing shit in IS5

[zinc path]

yeah fair

borrow ros instead 👍

[unkempt lion]

Gotcha, thanks

[steel relic]

Isn’t there a thing with Gnosis’ outfit too regarding his hit timing on enemies above/below him

[zinc path]

even if it changed stuff by like a frame it probably wouldn't matter too much since ros is mainly used for IS anyways right

[polar flint]

whats the general strat for izumik on d12+? this is the only is3 boss i havent completed on d13 and i wanna do it for fun

[steel relic]

🕳️

[polar flint]

weedy it is

[zinc path]

don't forget angelina

[polar flint]

i don't even have her

gotta borrow

😭

what about the full screen wipes

i don't think i can tank it

[inland elbow]

https://is-central.github.io/is3-mizuki/slaying-the-ocean/

This should answer all your questions

[polar flint]

waow its bait

thanks

[inland elbow]

Huh am I known from somewhere

[severe oasis]

wait its so pretty

i wish i had her tbh

[sudden cloak]

Pray u got the camouflage relic

[severe oasis]

famous youtuber bait

[zinc path]

can't believe they added yii back into arknights

[potent gulch]

Camo relic?

Does it prevent talisman latch on you?

[zinc path]

no that's for IS3

[potent gulch]

Oh

[zinc path]

if only is6 had flinger hand 😭

must maintain the ros agenda

[severe oasis]

camo does infact do this but its really not relevant on anyone besides wis

[potent gulch]

I got the most annoying run ever
Sniper, medic supporter and specialiat start with talisman on them

[pure timber]

can kal reasonably dps yi @ spawn on low diff

[severe oasis]

mon3tr dies

low diff maybe idk

probably not

[potent gulch]

Unless ur monster has hp relic

And ur kal has high atk

[severe oasis]

if you can get mon3tr to survive the bombs then yes it can infact kill yi

[desert brook]

mon explodes instantly in my experience, when the opposite color bombs touch

[main bison]

which emulator are you guys using these days?

[zinc path]

should i bring mlynar or ulpi for yi

[severe oasis]

ulpi will die so mlynar i guess because you can blockshift him in range

[potent gulch]

I been wondering why ppl doin ed3 tend to deploy reserve caster at middle

[desert brook]

yea mlynar is better

[potent gulch]

As sacrifice

[severe oasis]

the stage does that to showcase what happens when an op is surrounded by 4 orbs

its pre-placed

[raw hemlock]

this is mostly an ask for starting up a run, but with my current roster (I'll... get it updated when krooster stops giving me import errors, I dunno why it's erroring out on me) what should my starting build look like? I only have leader, special, support, and first-class squads

[severe oasis]

get your own raidian to e2, then special squad upgrades and gives you a maxed raidian for free alongside the 5 reserve ops

then you can start with smth like windscoot, tragodia, purestream

starting with those 3 also good for actually getting your raidian up early on

its what i used

pretty consistent

[desert brook]

special squad without upgrades is still good imo cuz free healer + 2 blockers

[severe oasis]

agreed

[raw hemlock]

who's what class? I, uh.... don't use the three units you recc'd

[severe oasis]

you can borrow them, windscoot doesnt necessarily have to be built, the 4stars can be e1 max

its the guard/supp/medic vouchers

other guards besides windscoot work too i just like him

really anything you have, borrowing tragodia is the important part

[potent gulch]

It very hard to get more than 5 candleholder xD

[sick mason]

Hmm light candle on Raidian or Tragodia first?

Just enter floor 2 (D6)

And both also still E1 anyway

[slate hull]

just conserve the recruitment things, you get -2 hope cost when you use them at the candleholder place

so, most of your team should ideally be candleholders

[severe oasis]

i always e2+light raidian before trag

had a recent ed3 run where trag stayed at e1 the entire time

raidian is much more important

[burnt lantern]

Will this good enough for Ed2, Diff 6?

[severe oasis]

yes if you know how to do it

[sick mason]

Depends on how many you are willing to leak

[burnt lantern]

How many should i leak?

[severe oasis]

raidian and exu can nearly duo the stage if you just -17 the entire left side

[sick mason]

Considering ed2 boss makes everyone retreat if the HP is 50%

[burnt lantern]

I have 25 LP (and shield), finger cross

[burnt lantern]

Wow.. i'll browse YT just to make sure

[sick mason]

Should be enough for you

The left side is also what frustrates me in this ending too

[severe oasis]

its genuinely easier to ignore it

you might end up leaking more if you dont

[burnt lantern]

Radiam S2 or S3 for this stage?

[severe oasis]

2

[burnt lantern]

Cool2

[low elbow]

beginning F3, should I go for the Pathfinder or the bosky

wait nvm this is bureau I can do safe house into scout

or I can do a ling event enemy node and lose

[serene stirrup]

[burnt lantern]

Sorry, just to make sure.. i should ignore this entire section if i have more than 17 LP right? and thanks again

[serene stirrup]

Yeah

unless you wanna lose 7*4

(and more)

[little ibex]

Can guards not solo hold it?

Only attempted it once so idk

Or is it cuz they split into the daggers

[severe oasis]

youll need multiple ops that are capable of it because they will die everytime the boss comes down, unless you have multiple ops that can mitigate the stomp dmg in multiple parts of the map

its just not rly worth it

leizi s3 does a decent job, ambushers are good, flingers are ok, but its always easier for me to just ignore it

[chrome tangle]

how do I start ling engine if I cant even find ling

[severe oasis]

because if literally any of the furniture they split into slips past, you are suddenly leaking a lot more than 17

[chrome tangle]

i had 18 candles

🥹

[oak birch]

alright, time to finally hit that end2

[burnt lantern]

Wisadel S2 or S3 for Ed2 IS6?

[severe oasis]

probably 3, she most likely contributes more helping dps the boss/right side than attempting to clear left

idk if she can even solo left

[chrome tangle]

mika said she could hold left

[severe oasis]

hmmm

[desert brook]

with s2 it makes sense

[chrome tangle]

but idk if it works

[severe oasis]

i was thinking she either barely could or barely couldnt lol

[serene stirrup]

spear is not furniture

[hazy orchid]

Is there a way to handle yi besides "kill him before he kills you"?

[severe oasis]

raidian s1 trap him in the red box

[chrome tangle]

Ling engine is a leisure node right

[desert brook]

you can keep deploying stallers but yi isnt that tanky so it shouldnt be hard to dps

[serene stirrup]

or use s1 radian

trust

[severe oasis]

i dont respect them enough to properly define what they are. they get broad term.

[hardy radish]

put hoederer/ulpianus at red box (?)

just prevent him from coming out

[desert brook]

ive heard people put ulpi at red box, im not sure if he actually survives? i havent tried myself

[severe oasis]

he definitely doesnt

[hazy orchid]

That falls under the kill him before he kills you

[severe oasis]

i would be genuinely shocked if ulpi could survive without like 3 medics and gladiia

[desert brook]

does frighten prevent yi from spawning bombs?

[severe oasis]

its a skill so nothing does

non silenceable im guessing otherwise we wouldve heard about lappland draft by now

[desert brook]

tbh if you had a few ops on left or right just to eat some bombs before they touch the others then it might work

[severe oasis]

all that work when you can just raidian s1

[desert brook]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hazy orchid]

Not gonna lie i feel like hes made with wisadel in mind

[desert brook]

china revolves around raidian

[hazy orchid]

How do you kill him with raidian s1?

[burnt lantern]

Whats the Sui mechanic after she reach 50% Health? saw YT vid, everyone wiped even those who are outside the stomp range

[chrome tangle]

50% force retreats

[severe oasis]

you dont, but you permastall him until you reach the killgate, then permastall phase 2 until you clear all the other enemies

[burnt lantern]

Ah yea... okay2

[severe oasis]

wis doesnt do anything particularly useful, she dies to the bombs when they hit her summons

[hazy orchid]

I meant as in hes made to counter wisadel in mind

[severe oasis]

ah

[hazy orchid]

Like invisibility is useless when you just carpet bomb everything lol

[severe oasis]

eh idk he kind of just counters literally everyone not named tragodia/raidian

[desert brook]

doesnt wisadel just blow up yi tho

i barely use wis idk how much dps she actually has LOL

[severe oasis]

she does infact just simply kill him

not in one skill at higher diff tho

[desert brook]

probably would have at least one good coin which would work

[desert brook]

i kind of want to try frdp draft maybe that will work for yi

[severe oasis]

it probably will

he gets completely shut down by just having multiple replaceable bodies

[chrome tangle]

it didnt spawn

[hazy orchid]

Btw how viable is it to not take any risk coin and just play it safe with normal and flower coins, especially in higher diff?

[chrome tangle]

i thinks pretty nice to have risk coins in general cause of some nodes wanting them

and its not like all risk coins are inherently terrible for you

regardless of diff

but i guess it comes down to which coins you get

[flint token]

Most risk coins give huge buffs

So if you struggle it might be worth taking the risk

[serene stirrup]

POV

[fickle jungle]

I think its fine if you dont take any risk coins as there are non-risk coins that are also powerful as well
But they are worth it if you manage the risk

[hazy orchid]

Individually they can be handled, however the problem is they stack. Like this one time i rolled 2 coin where everyone gets attack up and health down, and the enemies melt me more than i melt them

[halcyon flame]

The pink coin buffs are usual more conditional

IE chalice coin and shield stacking coin

[subtle sonnet]

this coin really useful on WiW turmoil which have DP steal enemies hitting blockade

[halcyon flame]

Red coins giving immediate power is a lot nicer and their buffs aren’t tied to yellow tikes

Some of the debuffs are also complete nothing burgers

[subtle sonnet]

rdp reduce on ed2 is juicy too

[serene stirrup]

Also the one that gives you 30 ingot is pretty good

[desert brook]

does the bosky coin exchange node care about your coin rarity?

[main bison]

welp, I'm done

ok, that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would go

[shy widget]

finally beat anasa on 18 in is4

cant believe the best strat is to leak the boss

but alas, ed4 is done

now onto ed5

[crimson nest]

Its easy with cat 🐈

[arctic panther]

thats is5

is4 is sami

[shy widget]

oh woops

you are correct

is5

[arctic panther]

you’re good, its a reasonable mistake

[arctic panther]

-# still kinda wish they kept is1

[ivory prawn]

This boss fight is kinda boring ngl

[shy widget]

i think is1 was like

a joke event

[arctic panther]

it was a literal acid trip

[shy widget]

but then they saw that like wtf

players like what we have done

lets try again

and down the rabbit hole they went of making the best gamemode arknights has to offer

[sick mason]

IS1 is just Ceobe being drunk

[arctic panther]

no she’s high in is1

[shy widget]

i still remember the nights i came back to arknights and was grinding is2 when they released it alongside watching house md

good times

what would you guys say is the most difficult IS overall

for me i think IS3

[arctic panther]

is6

[shy widget]

is it rly that difficult

i havent played it that much (me no likey)

[arctic panther]

yeah

raidian mod3 mission makes me wanna commit a crime

[shy widget]

dont

thats bad

[arctic panther]

its what?!?!?

[crimson nest]

Just hole yi

[arctic panther]

i’ve gotten much better at yi now i just thought that image was funny

also weedy moment

[wicked sandal]

Cooked

Man run was going so well too

[crimson nest]

Put s1 on tuya

[errant siren]

This time A LOTTA EASIER, if you have ATK Bosky Salad.

And some battles you PURPOSELY spare to maximize the effect.

Now only Level and Trust remains.

[zinc path]

is the +15% atk for every coin toss just this IS's king's crown

but with less downsides

[errant siren]

Oh, that one is good.

Take it.

You just roll and have stack.

If you rolled debuff coin, gets another stack.

Pretty neat to increase your power.

[wicked sandal]

Man wtf

I forgot to put leizi to s2

[wicked sandal]

Teach me ur eays

[wicked sandal]

I just need mod too

[arctic panther]

teach me too PLEASE 🙏

[errant siren]

Salad.

+20% HP and ATK, +10% additionally FOR EVERY CLEARED BATTLE IN BOSKY.

(starts counting only from pickup)

[grave hound]

its robbin time 🔫

[errant siren]

Why too few Ingots, tho.

[arctic panther]

how did you deal with clarity though

and/or inferno if you got it that run

[errant siren]

Mlynar.

[arctic panther]

i dont have him

and i use my support slot for yato

[errant siren]

Mlynar spawnkills those Talisman fuckers.

[errant siren]

Then any Melee DPS.

[arctic panther]

like leizi?

[errant siren]

Strong enough to clear the way

Yes

You clear either top or bottom part, better top

[tacit oyster]

Beat A9 without upgrades or raidan. 6 more to go

[errant siren]

Then continue developing defenses to center left ot top right to put strong Ranged/Raidian.

The rest is fairly easy.

Having ASPD by relics is advised to bruteforce the black orbs.

[main bison]

yeah, I failed to realize I could put him behind the bushes, I thought they were the ones that turned into mobs when attacked

[paper kayak]

Rip my first ed3 run

IS Central guide don't omit absolutely critical information challenge impossible

(the critical info in question: have insane relics because on a "normal" run you simply won't kill black orbs fast enough)

[stable yarrow]

Is it me or IS6 have less hope economy than 4 and 5

[sinful sparrow]

?

[paper kayak]

you
the hope economy in this one is insane

[sinful sparrow]

That’s not critical information

[stable yarrow]

Damn

Okay how to

[paper kayak]

It kind of is. If you run that strat as posted you get statchecked.

[sinful sparrow]

You have six floors

To scale

[paper kayak]

Raidian being super cheap and voucher saving means you're getting 6stars for 4 hope or less regularly, promotes down to 1. Can also do double 6star openers

[serene stirrup]

because you need to save hope by conserving vouchers

[stable yarrow]

Oh great I need to play more because my radian is e1lv60

What is the top pick for opener

[serene stirrup]

exu

[paper kayak]

theoretically exu in practice exu start on ed2 made me lose my mind

[stable yarrow]

I need to grind ingot also

[paper kayak]

any start not involving raidian is at the complete mercy of supporter voucher rng

[serene stirrup]

the only bad part about exu is that it can't get -2 hope rec from high ground squad

but radian is 0 hope either way

[paper kayak]

raidian exu is a start tho

once we get hoshi2 I think she's a good one iirc?

I like entel raidian start bc it deletes a few of your loss conditions

[lament wren]

is higher dif is6 make the nodes more or same?

[errant siren]

Nodes... where?

[lament wren]

i mean the whole map longer? or same cuz feels so short

[errant siren]

No, it's RNG thing.

It may be long, as well to may be short.

Difficulty doesn't do anything about it.

[serene stirrup]

Wait for dlc1 which adds extra node

also make the general setup less bullshit

[lament wren]

woww thats new ig, its feel lacking i dont do 1 hour run anymore

[stray dove]

Question, whatever this upgrades to is a unique relic you can't obtain elsewhere?
I'm asking because I want to complete the curio index and going to an L&S right now will make me not visit a WiW

[errant siren]

Game should register what you changed in Lost and Found.

[stray dove]

so i trade out the Yi Lock and get a unique relic out of it?

[errant siren]

Yeah.

[stray dove]

thanks

[errant siren]

Wanna see what it does

Tho

Never changes that.

[stray dove]

so you don't even know if it works?

[errant siren]

Nah. According to the description, doesn't make to me any sense.

Basically a placeholder.

[pastel saffron]

it either gives more dp or more tiles which have dp or both

[halcyon flame]

You trade it away for complex yi lock

[stray dove]

so it is a unique interaction like a plan upgrade of specific coins

[halcyon flame]

Yes

[stray dove]

good

I'll get this out of the way

[pastel saffron]

so I was right

there is also the hope relic which gives 2 relics in lost and found

[stray dove]

it would've been hellish to do this when hunting for relic collection

[halcyon flame]

The funny thing is you can actually get the first lock back and re trade it for two complex locks like the image above

[pastel saffron]

and some relics can be upgraded in plan

[stray dove]

thank god it happened while things aligned

[stray dove]

good to know

[pastel saffron]

it says if they can be upgraded in plan btw

[stray dove]

so same as the coins

[zinc path]

do the tiles stack and give you 20 dp per deployment

[stray dove]

i doubt

it would pick 5

if there's fewer

it won't stack and just register the few Vagary

[zinc path]

so it would pick 10

[stray dove]

....did you read the relic?

[zinc path]

i meant when there's two of them

[stray dove]

how? I doubt it would happen like that.

relics are scratched off the pool the moment you get them once

[paper kayak]

oh my gummy looks different this time

[stray dove]

unless it's the Kettle situation in IS5

[zinc path]

the screenshot shows two complex yi locks

[stray dove]

i cannot fathom how....

[pastel saffron]

they just told you how

[stray dove]

can you get normal yi lock once you upgrade?

and then you redid it again?

[zinc path]

apparently

[pastel saffron]

that's what they said

[stray dove]

so do they stack?

[halcyon flame]

Ya

[stray dove]

damn

[halcyon flame]

Simply found it again right after I traded it and next floor had a LNF on bosky path so

[stray dove]

so a balance of all 3 gives Mechanical Menace.
or are the chances of which encounter simpler in category?

[fast wasp]

are these guys always present in ed 1?

aight so I was just unlucky then

[zinc path]

these guys and the feng shui stage made me bring ethan to every run

[stray dove]

are those the ones with the 4 blockades in the middle?

because that stage is furniture hell

especially with a lot of fog jars

[zinc path]

yeah theyre in that stage too

[stray dove]

I've never seen so many Sharpedges until that stage

Low diff mechanical menace Manmade Carnival for now. I might not try to even fight it in max diff in the future

[zinc path]

i had lemuen with 18k atk and she one shot both of yii's phases with her s3 last run

i love the 100% atk for operators next to incursion points relic. but i love the 15%+atk every coin toss relic more

[stray dove]

lulz

coincidences and all that

[zinc path]

lmao

get two of them and test if it gives 20 dp

[stray dove]

too late

I was already in F5

[halcyon flame]

This

Isn’t mech menance

[stray dove]

wait whoops

wrong name

it's Manmade Carnival

sorry, my D18 IS3 head is still recent

wait i don't remember this relic being this decent to read

lemme check the old versions...

[wintry void]

Are there bosky or pathfinder nodes on floor 6?

[stray dove]

i'd also like to ask if there's also pathfinder nodes in F6

ok yeah IS4 version is shittier by a bit.

[zinc path]

does it still work if its a manually activated skill thats automatically activated because of that one coin that gives you less sp costs but makes all skills automatically activated

i had a run with that, archetto, and the coin that gives 2 sp when an operator does damage

[stray dove]

it should

[zinc path]

so could've been unlimited levitation 😔

[stray dove]

it still counts as "activating a skill"

I've seen some relics and coins in IS6 that really make powershot spam really strong

or just low SP cost skill spam

[zinc path]

the 2sp coin is always a favorite. unless im using kaltsit or angelina

[halcyon flame]

Yes

Not guaranteed

But it can spawn

[sinful sparrow]

slop d10 but easy as

[stray dove]

how about WiW?

[halcyon flame]

When dlc1 drops yes

[sinful sparrow]

🥺

[arctic panther]

PEAAKKK

[stray dove]

BTW is there a difference to Temp Raidian and our own Raidian?

[sinful sparrow]

proficiency is retained

[stray dove]

it seems like the extra perks of IS6 talents are not present in Temp Raidian's text

[sinful sparrow]

so temp raidian has as much proficiency as your own

[stray dove]

ah

so the only improvements are e2 cap and m3, huh?

[low vortex]

hi mika

good whatever it is

nice ros skin

[stray wagon]

shit these two are kinda good

[stray dove]

just consider that Bells are based on Pathfinder fights

although it is retroactive

based on text it just finds which candleguests are candled via combat

[pearl oyster]

What does this do?

[stray dove]

that's how you candle an operator

via combat

you put who you want candled in the lotus tile

and they have to survive until timer runs out

whoever's on that tile gets zapped

so heal them or have a good barrier spam with Geexu

or both

also

it makes you prepare before the survival starts

lets you deploy all your ops from the get go

[pearl oyster]

Only 1 candle right? No other rewards?

[stray dove]

rewards of winning a fight

thats its perk

outside of candling 1 operator (if they survived)

higher floors have 2 lotus tiles

so you can candle 2 ops at once

[pearl oyster]

Candle ops don’t get promoted right?

[stray dove]

btw the entire map is assault mode (ranged and melee tiles are the same)

[stray dove]

no it's just candling

think of it like the 3rd option

except there's a fight

and it's not limited 1 per run

[sinful sparrow]

🫃

[nocturne cape]

Why is bro averaging 30 relics

Mika youre better than this

[sinful sparrow]

i was gonna average like 40

but like, bad pathing decision

[nocturne cape]

Mpreg relic and coins as always

[proper forge]

About the reward, does the exp carries over after hitting lvl 50?

[nocturne cape]

No

[proper forge]

Dang

[arctic panther]

IM FRE

IM FREE

IM FREE

[stray dove]

ok so is the way to stop Phase 2 Yi from destroying your south backline is to just prevent him from walking downward straight via stall?

[arctic panther]

IM FI NALLY FGUCKING FREE

[nocturne cape]

Grats

[stray dove]

because even in low diff, it's rough when he bombards the lower areas with Liangs

[arctic panther]

IM GOI NG BACK TO IS3

[stray dove]

ah going back to hell

[arctic panther]

ATELAET IM HAVING FUN THERE

[stray dove]

lulz

[arctic panther]

FUCk

[stray dove]

can't relate

[gritty whale]

If you lost a battle in sui realm do you lose the run?

[stray dove]

IS3 is as much fun as me NOT playing IS

[sinful sparrow]

its like either coin machine

or some shit like bloodbath chalice on gvg

it's funny as shit

i had like 30 LP spare

which would've translate to about 10 more relics

[mild river]

Is there a limit on how many ingots you can put into the prospective investment system per run in IS 6? Kept getting system crashed after putting 1-4 ingots

[arctic panther]

i could feel my heart palpitating bro

[arctic panther]

the limit is random

the system crash happens when you reach that random limit

[stray dove]

oh look....trash unless I want to setup the run to have a lot of risk coins.

[pastel saffron]

there is, I also have noticed when I have more ingots while investing, I can invest more

if I have like 10 ingots left ir crashes at like 4 or 6 or sum

[stray dove]

this coin is fucking dangerous in furniture spam maps

[nocturne cape]

Apparition jumpscare

[stray dove]

even with Raidian S2 and Ascalon AND Trag cat

sharpedge spam furniture are so tanky

[gritty whale]

What nodes give me the best shot to increase my squad limits?

[stray dove]

isn't that a relic thing?

[nocturne cape]

Safehouse?

[stray dove]

as well as skill tree?

oh yeah

safe houses increase squad size

[arctic panther]

safehouses usually have the option to increase your squad limit

[stray dove]

RNG though

[arctic panther]

though its not always there

[gritty whale]

Awesome, just forgot which ones did that

[stray dove]

I'm guessing there's no more relics that are Food or Bread that increases squad size or deployment limit?

[gritty whale]

I didn’t realize how OP the sui realm is. So much bonus shit to get

[stray dove]

Pitt's fruit box?

[arctic panther]

and the other salad i think

the older one

[stray dove]

seaweed?

[burnt lantern]

What will be the result of this?

[arctic panther]

yes

more candles

[gritty whale]

I never did the sui realm battles cuz I thought I’d lose the whole run

[gritty whale]

Just passed this up because I was also worried lol

[arctic panther]

doesnt the tutorial literally say that you wont lose if you leave or leak in it

[gritty whale]

Reading isn’t my strong suite

[arctic panther]

classic en player

[gritty whale]

😂

[stray dove]

i love this skin.

[arctic panther]

same

all 3 of the skins are amazing

[cedar ivy]

You can triple candle a stage to win like an idiot, just slamming your team in over and over to kill 1 enemy each time

[arctic panther]

i love how we have a new type of now(and a skin that doesnt call back to ros' most traumatizing parts of her life)

[stray dove]

LMAo

i gotta leave IS6 to change Amiya's class

[arctic panther]

also i love how she actually talks in her alternate form

instead of just listening to her disembodied voice

[stray dove]

i mean

it's weirder to see them move their mouths now

[cedar ivy]

Medicmiya too useful

[stray dove]

since most other skins or art don't

[arctic panther]

true

still cool though

[stray dove]

whoa whoa whoa!

this is amazing for such a very minor detriment

am i reading this right?

free verticals as long as it's in your inventory?

[arctic panther]

yes

[cedar ivy]

I havent gotten that yet

[arctic panther]

not on the same node you acquire it though

[stray dove]

fucking hell. Relic-tier

that's fine

i got it from Ji's shop

[sinful sparrow]

we will call it mpreg-tier tongbao

[stray dove]

I love the redesign of the off/def rec items to at least be all-purpose now.

it used to be such a dead item once off-rec powershots or Mudrock stopped being a thing in IS2 onwards

[paper kayak]

ED3 D10 done

[wicked sandal]

bro

Tips pls

[paper kayak]

My only healing was E1 Shu and Medicmiya

[wicked sandal]

😭😭

the special battle is kicking my ass

[arctic panther]

yato

[paper kayak]

Oh the special battle gets mogged by Leizi

[wicked sandal]

who do i receuit and stuff

[arctic panther]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1345312730923663381/1440505885771436135/IMG_2479.gif

[wicked sandal]

altho thing is i kinda got fucked too

[paper kayak]

Leizi or Mlynar are huge for ed3

[wicked sandal]

no support voichers whatsoever

[arctic panther]

this is what i used

[wicked sandal]

and i forgot to set leizi to s2 💀

[errant siren]

Yeah... not even worth the trouble. Next time just skip it unless it's free.

[paper kayak]

You don't have her on S2 by default?

[arctic panther]

just use special squad

[wicked sandal]

I do

i just set to s1 for one particular stage..

[paper kayak]

Ah

[stray dove]

just for unlocking in curio index for me

[errant siren]

Me too.

[wicked sandal]

Feels bad man

[errant siren]

[wicked sandal]

what start do u use

[arctic panther]

yato + the redeploy coin can clear the balls relatively fast and let you get someone like exu/logos up (and hopefully running) by the time enemies start spawning

[paper kayak]

I did Wis start because I don't own Wis

[arctic panther]

if you have the relic that shortens specialist redeploy times its even easier

[arctic panther]

i did yato start

[paper kayak]

No Wis but pot5 exu

[arctic panther]

i did it without wis

my main damage carries were leizi, exu and yu

[wintry void]

What do I do here?

[wicked sandal]

no wis too

[wicked sandal]

FIGHT

[stray dove]

3rd option is a fight

[arctic panther]

with raidian popping in occasionally to stop me from leaking everyone

[stray dove]

unless you want to avoid it

[wicked sandal]

Yato over exu?

i think i trolled

I picked deepcolor for my support

[arctic panther]

do you not have exu

[wicked sandal]

😞

i have

i have both

[arctic panther]

oh

you might be fine supporting in wis start then and get lucky with spec vouchers

[wicked sandal]

who do i start with wis

[arctic panther]

ideally you want yato e2 and exu atleast e1-

[arctic panther]

click and gummy

[wicked sandal]

alright

maybe i should restart my run then

[arctic panther]

but i’d draft exu first

[wicked sandal]

I did myrtle exu deepcolor

[arctic panther]

or if you have yato e1 and no exu then draft exu

[wicked sandal]

for the starting buff

i just need to clear f2 right

[arctic panther]

yes

or maybe f3

i forgor

try f2

[sinful sparrow]

@nocturne cape oh yeah i can definitely see why tourist squad is nice to play

very satisfying on the coin toss

and its stronk

[arctic panther]

4 risk coins

[sinful sparrow]

just dont toss them

🚬

simple as

[wicked sandal]

tourist was my fave yeah

okay maybe this run isnt so cooked

[wicked sandal]

howd u deal with the

hit count stuff

[stray dove]

Raidian S2, Ya2 S2

those are good ones

Maybe Lazer S3 in specific areas

Trag cat is good too

decent amt of ways without relying fully on Wis S2 or the ambushers

[gritty whale]

What is a turmoil node?

[sonic sable]

Wgat are the stages u wanna use leizi s3 over s2?

[stray dove]

from what i heard from sweats here....

only a few handful of maps

can take advantage of that short space chain lightning

to be worthwhile over S2

[wicked sandal]

the attacks in bosky

[round trellis]

A few of the wonderland combats where you need to duel gopnik.

[acoustic field]

the one with the right angle pathing for instance

[round trellis]

The Tremble on S3 lets you face tank him.

Without tragodia

[wicked sandal]

i hate the face off stages

Its no longer any op

its now ground or high ground

[acoustic field]

inner rage

that one

[errant siren]

Battles in Bosky.

Win to get +8 Ingots, +1-2 Coupons, +1-2 Random Relic, Random Voucher.

[pastel saffron]

they are good now, left isnt necessarily better than right

[pastel saffron]

you can also get face off with 1 high ground and 1 ground op

or it can be only 2 high or 2 ground

[wicked sandal]

what medic gould i get for ed3

[acoustic field]

any faceoff with high ground op access is way easier IMO

[acoustic field]

unironically you could go amiya S1

solely for duration

[wicked sandal]

i think i should stop auto-gettinf

[dense vortex]

this fight was brutal

[wicked sandal]

kaltsit

[acoustic field]

mentally ill strategies

[round trellis]

Leizi s3 is also very good on the map with Free boss fight, you can sandwich him on the red box.

[errant siren]

Monsta, Purestream.

ReedAlter.

[acoustic field]

saria s2

[errant siren]

Saria S1/S2.

[dense vortex]

all my ops outside of Nightingale's range keep dying and unfortunately I only had her as my candle medic

[acoustic field]

S2 enjoys constant benefit for awhile and covers such a massive chunk of area I prefer it over S1 here

[round trellis]

Your lineup honestly has too many high dp units for just a Myrtle

[dense vortex]

how ur ops not losing HP?

[wicked sandal]

mon3r? what skill?

[arctic panther]

it only happens for 60 seconds after deployment

[dense vortex]

I had the risk coin that gives me 99 dp at start

[acoustic field]

no weiqi around them to damage them
relic only happens for 60s after deployment

[arctic panther]

mon3tr isnt worth the hope

silence is a good pick

so is ptilo with module

[winged kelp]

Bruh.. it's been years and I've done IS#3 entirely. Just today I realized I haven't maxed this tree

[arctic panther]

purestream too

[round trellis]

You don’t need ng, healing defenders and purestream are enough.

[acoustic field]

amiya s1 lasts 50 seconds and I used it twice over the entire fight here so it's not too bad an idea

then again her attack heal is conditional so

[dense vortex]

yes but I mean how they get healed, u got a regen relic?

[acoustic field]

probably purestream or silence over her if you have them raised

[acoustic field]

lmao no

[wicked sandal]

hmm maybe ptilo then

[acoustic field]

deadass just relying on amiya passive regen

[arctic panther]

wheres wang?

[acoustic field]

dead I killed him

[wicked sandal]

odh silence raised

purestream is e1 max

OH FUCK

[arctic panther]

same

[wicked sandal]

BOSKY SALAD OR DRUM

[arctic panther]

thats fine

drum

[acoustic field]

2 runs later and:

[round trellis]

I’ve honestly beaten ed3 without medics at all.

[dense vortex]

yeah I didn't recruit heal defs because I was experimenting with burn dmg and yeah it is not that good this without a certain relic

[real glade]

well, things are starting to really ramp up around difficulty 8

[arctic panther]

we love redeploy coin

[acoustic field]

redeploy coin and geist rope is funny combo

[real glade]

then again, I got some OP combination of trinket and operators for diff 8
diff 9 is where I started to feel it

[prime depot]

is this one I need to last hit Yi with her summon, or 100-0 him with her alone?

[acoustic field]

last hit probably

[round trellis]

Last hit

[acoustic field]

then again just spam fishes on him

[errant siren]

Final blow

[acoustic field]

it's not that hard at least for it's difficulty

[arctic panther]

last hit

you can whittle him down with others

[dense vortex]

this relic just makes Raidian more busted than she already is

[real glade]

huh, I think I got that one by pure chance on my Diff8 win

[wicked sandal]

Oh cat gets affected?

[acoustic field]

it technically is a summon yes

[wicked sandal]

thats interesting

[acoustic field]

tons of relics in this IS do

[round trellis]

Finally at unlocked d15

Sui squad ticket hoarding still works

[dense vortex]

do ya'll usually do the bosky at 2nd or 3rd floor?

[wicked sandal]

okay i have the hope to spare

[arctic panther]

2nd

[wicked sandal]

i can go for a 6* medic

should i still go ptilo

[dense vortex]

how dis strat work?

[arctic panther]

what 6* medics do you have

[wicked sandal]

kalt eyja reed shining ng lumen mon3r

[arctic panther]

conserve all vouchers until you get to a pathfinder node

then soend everytging

[arctic panther]

kal or eyja

[dense vortex]

I don't know what the best squad strat is, so far my fav is coin squad for risk coin maxing

[wicked sandal]

eyja’s range is weird

she cant heal the high ground tiles

on ed3 if middle

[acoustic field]

my favourite is support squad cuz it gives me an unreasonable amount of ingots

[arctic panther]

and(sometimes) global

[wicked sandal]

right s3

[dense vortex]

err Tourist squad

[wicked sandal]

forgot s3 exists

eyja then

[round trellis]

I do 1st, 3rd, and 4 floor bosky. Fish for recruitment on first floor, recruit carries on 2nd floor, get ending 3 relic on floor 4 bosky and then clear the fight on 5.

[dense vortex]

Nightingale is a pretty decent pick for ED1 to just simply tanks Yi's bombs.. I say decent because it is wayyy easier to just destroy the bombs by deploying ur ops on the bottom

[nocturne cape]

I think i might be ready

[acoustic field]

lmao you can do that

rosmontis shenanigans

[nocturne cape]

Gottem

[round trellis]

You can literally sandwich him with raidian summons on S1

The skill makes them stupidly tanky

[dense vortex]

man Amiya's new BDay skin is beutiful but it sucks that it only works for Guardmiya since Medic is WAYYYYYYYY better on every IS

[acoustic field]

wym every IS

medic is way better everywhere

[dense vortex]

Yeah am mentioning IS specifically because I rarely use her on reg game

[wicked sandal]

okay

I just need

[acoustic field]

but yeah, I agree

[wicked sandal]

logos

[acoustic field]

the skin is great

[wicked sandal]

and to e2 yato

then i should be okay

[round trellis]

NG is honestly a a big hope sink for ed1 compared to just rose salt

[gritty whale]

Other than gummy what
defenders are good, idk which are the most useful, I don’t have sui units

[arctic panther]

saria

[acoustic field]

saria S2 sees solid use cases for both ED2 and ED3 probably

[round trellis]

Saria and nearl if desperate

[dense vortex]

Guard Amiya woulda been so much better if we can just use her S2 more than once

[round trellis]

Bassline for ed1 tank

[mint gull]

To all you nerds out there, whining that you can't beat d0 because you dont have any operators;

Exu2 is all you need

[acoustic field]

guardmiya's only job nowadays is to be put down and spam S1 for the like 14-18% atk buff

[arctic panther]

PRAM DRAFT

BASED

[acoustic field]

too bad it's on a 54% downtime lmao

[round trellis]

Wrong channel, only sweats and masochists are here.

And dragslayer

The unwashed masses you are searching for are in #help

[acoustic field]

ethan moments

[steel relic]

No we’ve got a few of them here

[dense vortex]

I literally just take La Pluma whenever I have a free 5 star guard slot to recruit

[mint gull]

You can use caster/healer vouchers instead

Man, hope Defender Amiya is next so I can use defender vouchers to recruit Amiya 🙏

[wicked sandal]

do parhfinder nodes appear in floor 6?

[arctic panther]

yes

not guaranteed though

[wicked sandal]

okay

i still dont have a few key ops

i dont have leizi yet

or logos

[dense vortex]

or supporter so that Supporter vouchers have more use outside IS6

[round trellis]

I swear I have seen a bosky on floor 6 once

[dense vortex]

bro Tragodia and Raidian single handedly carry the supporter recruits for IS

[arctic panther]

supporter vouchers are already useful in other is

[round trellis]

For all 12 Angelina simps sure

[dense vortex]

Arturia is great early game but her dmg falls off in lategame on high diff

[stray dove]

Ange and Haruka exists as well

[dense vortex]

Haruka ain't out yet

[arctic panther]

quercus

also she will be in like a month

[dense vortex]

and I don't have Ange

[stray dove]

good luck getting Quercus recruited. You'd be wasting a conserved supp voucher on her just to get her with less hope

[arctic panther]

we’re talking about general is

[dense vortex]

Am also salty at failing to get Eblana, I can't pull more for her since the freakin banner schedule is STACKED

[stray dove]

if general IS....nothing changes. Ange is still good, Trag is still solid. Raidian outside IS6, ehhhhh.

[dense vortex]

Ling is good but damm her summons are expensive

[wicked sandal]

jeez

[acoustic field]

I guess that works, I don't have her though

[wicked sandal]

im getting fucked by these vouchers

stop giving me defenders

[dense vortex]

by a miracle tho I got Liezi alter which is great since I don't have horse uncle

[round trellis]

Defender supporter squad no longer sucks. As long as you don’t get only defender tickets.

[acoustic field]

my leizi came out black and blue what kind of bug is this

[pastel saffron]

do end3, take saria and shu

peak

[dense vortex]

Gummy's utility has been crazy post IS5

[sonic sable]

Speaking of crushers why no one uses thm in is6?

[dense vortex]

which thank gawd btw I got sick of taking spot on IS2-4

[round trellis]

Slow aspd means talisman shits on him

[sonic sable]

Does sui feet targetting priority ignore taunt?

[round trellis]

It has greater priority than taunt

So it effectively ignores it

[sonic sable]

Damn

[arctic panther]

it targets leftmost, bottommost, and most grouped up

[round trellis]

Mlynar’s butt unclenches

[arctic panther]

just clump up some fodder ops in your dps’ range

[sonic sable]

I am drafing leizi over unvle

[flint token]

Doesnt even need to be ops summons also work

[dense vortex]

my fav trick I learned is that you can just deploy a melee op/summon to just push some annoying mobs in the hole

[flint token]

you can actually just use 2 urban barrier

[dense vortex]

this stage in particular has that available

[acoustic field]

ulpianus works as always if you have the starting SP relics and he can kinda ignore talismans due to his passive but opportunity cost simply calls for other ops

[inner anchor]

I cant find the bosky passage

Or im blind

[flint token]

He’s viable if you get enough initial sp relics and autoskill tongbao

[inner anchor]

[acoustic field]

diamond shaped funny symbol

[flint token]

It’s called wander into wonderland here

bosky passage is is4 name

[inner anchor]

Aah

[acoustic field]

oooo

[inner anchor]

Im so fkn dumb

[acoustic field]

you wanna go into sui's consciousness oooo

[flint token]

we just use bosky cuz bosky has fewer letters than wonderland

Or bizzare fragment

and it’s easy to remember

[wicked sandal]

okayLogos or leizi

[inner anchor]

But what to do in wonderland to get to ed2

[wicked sandal]

who do i recruit

[flint token]

er leizi ig

[wicked sandal]

i can only choose one rn

[mint gull]

Gotta buy butterfly for 30 ingots

[wicked sandal]

okay

[inner anchor]

The encounter node right

[flint token]

I find her a good bit better than lingos and she works at e1

[inner anchor]

Or legend

[flint token]

Legend ya

[arctic panther]

avoid all legend(encounter) nodes until you have 30 ingots, then go through all of them to find the butterfly

[acoustic field]

gamble on event nodes until you see one with a butterfly, guarantee it with 30 ingots or gamble and lose the 50/50 and get jack shit,

sui foot now spawns on every combat map, drop it to half health before the prophecy node and you'll get to fight the ED2 boss

[mint gull]

Legend are encounter nodes. Or you mean encounter, like a physical encounter?

[flint token]

if you have less than 30 ingots you can try the gamble option

[inner anchor]

The legend one in wander

[flint token]

which can either not give you shits or take all ingots for butterfly

[acoustic field]

90% of the time you get jack shit

[inner anchor]

Aight thx for the clarification lads

[acoustic field]

imo just don't be poor when you go into an encounter node rather than the hassle of being cucked by rng

[inner anchor]

Now ill do this on diff 1 cuz im skill issue with 40% hp enemy buff

-# im on diff 4

[wicked sandal]

bro
