[stray dove]

in Ed2 boss fight, how many enemies spawn at left lane?

[proven dagger]

17 enemies on the left side total if all of them are undefeated

[stray dove]

17?

thanks

[stray yoke]

thank u

[proven dagger]

17

yeah

[stray dove]

keeping LP/Shield high is necessary...

[proven dagger]

there are some lone spearheads so you can kill those if it makes you feel better

[stray dove]

cause if it's already difficult to defend left lane on low diff

it's truly impossible on max

[sinful sparrow]

and as for your humus shop rob, position like this, but Humus is 1 tile up so he can hit the enemies and damage them

thats all 🚬

[stray dove]

someone share me Humus Cannot F1 rob

[prime mountain]

Yeah its super simple setup

[proven dagger]

I will specify this 17 includes lone spearheads

[stray dove]

noted

[proven dagger]

you leave the big biteys alive?

[coral oar]

does anyone have a list on what Operator count as Yan?

[sinful sparrow]

nah

[stray dove]

Windscoot and Geexu

[sinful sparrow]

they dont hurt raidian s1 fish at all

[stray dove]

should be enough

[proven dagger]

ah

[sinful sparrow]

you let the dragon go

[prime mountain]

Ive been here for like 10 minutes I somehow have 0 damage relics 😭

[proven dagger]

i like killing the big biteys because their buff is annoying

[sinful sparrow]

i also kill big biteys

they personally dont deal too much damage

so raidian s1 can keep them there really long

[proven dagger]

they don't deal a lot of damage but they buff their allies

[prime mountain]

Chen alter not yet btw

[gentle frost]

"random"
Is it bugged and just not random?

[stray dove]

S1?

or S2?

[sinful sparrow]

raidian s1 humus s1

[stray dove]

gotcha

For now I'm sticking to D7 until Raidian gets an M9

i do not want to fight Ed2 with D8 conditions

not yet

[kind depot]

it was okay

[stray dove]

....not now....

[kind depot]

65 ingots warpog

[stray dove]

at least I got Woodfeedsflames

[prime mountain]

The downside of coin squad

[stray dove]

yeah Tourist has it the worst in F1

[prime mountain]

Whats the mizuki placement on this?

[stray dove]

I have yet to even experience that map

[prime mountain]

Its just shift into hole so any tile where he can shift ig

[sinful sparrow]

:mon3trsmug:

[boreal birch]

finally

[floral mist]

Say goodnight Yi

[stray dove]

yeah only 1 tile to pull to hole

[boreal birch]

forgor light candle wisadel loll

[stray dove]

wait

I'm dumb!

Galter made me learn

[prime mountain]

Lmao this map is so scuffed

you can corner pull the cars and the enemies inside dont insta die

[stray dove]

this would provide 2 tiles to pull from

[prime mountain]

Holy ingots

[sinful sparrow]

furrilo r u playing spec/cast

[pallid summit]

is there ever a scenario where u dont want to enter sui's consiousness?

[prime mountain]

No i'm playing ground squad

[boreal birch]

how much u push/pull that stage?

[stray dove]

there is. It's monthly squad and I plan to quit out on F5

so i skip later Boskies like F4

doesn't matter that much anyways

enemies are so weak in D0

[pallid summit]

sorry, i'm quite noob to this gamemode. started playing it a couple days ago. Wdym by monthly squad? and by skipping bosses? and what is D0

[stray dove]

Zuo Le starter

the tab on middle south

[prime mountain]

Usually you want to enter it when you have enough candleholders to clear stages, so skip f1 (grab the candles then leave)

[stray dove]

switches from normal mode or monthly squad

[proven dagger]

how do you guys usually set up on this stage

kinda curious

[stray dove]

let the geist keep spawning

[stray dove]

so you can kill those things to make platforms out of

[proven dagger]

i just do something like this

[floral mist]

Uhh quite the opposite

[sinful sparrow]

"let the geist keep spawning"

[proven dagger]

that's a bad idea usually

[floral mist]

Kill the Geist, then let the Dragon fell to their Death

[sinful sparrow]

yeah bud cloud dragons spawn

[stray dove]

oh it is?

[sinful sparrow]

and then they fly over the hole

🚬

[proven dagger]

yeah the dragons eat the platforms

[stray dove]

oh yeah

that is if you can't kill dragons asap

[prime mountain]

You want them to do that

they have less defense when flying

You're supposed to get platforms on right side and sweep with snipers there

[stray dove]

i can kill flying dragons

[proven dagger]

ah

[stray dove]

i'd rather have platforms

[proven dagger]

i like using the hole

[sinful sparrow]

you can also just ignore the geist and the cloud dragon to kill everything else 🚬

[stray dove]

than avoid flying dragons

[proven dagger]

i suppose it depends on drafts

[low vortex]

What am I reading

[proven dagger]

personally i find the middle tile more than enough to kill the flying seaborn

[prime mountain]

OH THERE'S A HOLE

I didnt even see that

ok yeah that stage just got a lot easier

[stray dove]

the dragon doesn't stay alive enough

that it reaches right lane

at least in my case

they eat platform on left

i kill defenseless dragon

either way it's difficult anyways to let the mob platform live long enough

to reach right lane to get killed

to have southeast platforms

[proven dagger]

eh

you can simply not attack it

[stray dove]

it's called good range coverage

i have ops that attack on the hallway

you know....

[proven dagger]

🥹

[stray dove]

same reason dragons die to me on left lane already

[prime mountain]

I guess if you have enough dp you can just shut down the geist asap

[proven dagger]

i wonder how much stats they have here actually

[stray dove]

either way its a nice win win whether you shut it down or not

[proven dagger]

🥀

[stray dove]

the dragons either can't fly and drop to hole

[proven dagger]

geez

[stray dove]

or they can fly but die easy

[prime mountain]

"die easy" yeah no these mf beefy

Using exu alt to kill them doesnt count

[stray dove]

yeah i tend to just decide based on best ops scenario

i can't relate to those who have lower DPS

[proven dagger]

crazy highmore

playing with lower DPS is soul

[boreal birch]

on right side me usually use exu alt or wisadel

[floral mist]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[proven dagger]

lwky jealous of exualt havers 🥀

[boreal birch]

maybe u can use support friend

[prime mountain]

Im at d10 rn and its perfectly doable without her

[rancid pilot]

did anyone remember to tell you the robot guy in the middle gets sent down a hole if blocked

[proven dagger]

i want her because she looks fun

[prime mountain]

Oh someone did a while back and I forgot already

💀

[proven dagger]

completely forgot this game had support units

holy shit kroos

[boreal birch]

i think this still good early at least have raidian e1

[proven dagger]

oh ye

I ACCIDENTALLY BROUGHT RADIAN2

[boreal birch]

[prime mountain]

This stage is a clusterfuck I have no idea whats going on

[proven dagger]

BRO

COOKED

u gotta kill Wang or all the balls to defeat him

[rancid pilot]

Wang's gone nowhere, you're fine

[proven dagger]

killing all the balls kills the guy

[prime mountain]

He's summoning them faster than I can kill 💀

Everyone keeps getting stunned

[proven dagger]

he places 1 down whenever an allied unit is deployed, within the 4 cardinal tiles around that unit

and he also places 1 down every once in a while

i think 20s?

[prime mountain]

💀

Why these balls so beefy man

[boreal birch]

oh noo

[prime mountain]

Mizuki permastalls he's fine I think

[floral mist]

Oh man, you're kinda cooked

If it wasn't for Mizuki

[proven dagger]

pray

[prime mountain]

Nah this is hella fine

[boreal birch]

[prime mountain]

Ente s2 clears balls

[boreal birch]

shave ball

[prime mountain]

It looked fucked but its perfectly manageable

Common entelachia W

[proven dagger]

yay

[nimble orchid]

The peakest off meta pull in existance. Used her for everything since banner.

[prime mountain]

Oh hell no

[slate hull]

I just got the butterfly on floor 5 and had no combat nodes, so I had to rob cannot and kill sui at the same time, but somehow that is ending 2 cleared

[prime mountain]

Man I need to get my investment up

For better f1 robs

[proven dagger]

DAMN

[floral mist]

Is it the Interview option?

Kinda forgot

[proven dagger]

i forgot you can shift enemies through the vag tiles

i should draft shifters more

i wonder how many stages i can break like this

[tacit oyster]

This is the farthest I went without any upgrades or raidan. Beat Ed2 and Ed3 now. Should I use all 125 lost knowledge? Or is there an upgrade I shouldn't buy like in IS2's shield?

[prime mountain]

Dont call them vag tiles 💀

[prime mountain]

You always buy them all because metagaming is boring

[proven dagger]

im calling them vag tiles

[tacit oyster]

yeah but IS2 had that shield upgrade that made the king's relic pretty much useless

since you can't get rid of it and always have 2hp

[prime mountain]

You'd rather have the temp shield every fight than sometimes get king relics to work

You can always just leak the first enemy

[tacit oyster]

but in A15 IS2, the first enemy entering the obj point gives -2 lp anyway in later floors, killing your run

[proven dagger]

[zenith fable]

is narantuya worth building for is6?

[bronze bone]

Could anyone tell me how to get that item ?

[tacit oyster]

Beat Ed1, then find this encounter in the bosky

[proven dagger]

WAIT I HAVE SHAMARE ON S1

[bronze bone]

Is it guaranteed ? I've never seen it

[tacit oyster]

not guaranteed, but VERY likely

[cold fjord]

it isnt

[tacit oyster]

just aim for the encounter nodes

if you don't see it in f4, then just restart

[coral oar]

one of the Legend tile will randomly have it, prepare 30 ingot as well

[tacit oyster]

He can use option 2 though. I bought it multiple times with 10+ ingots

never failed

[bronze bone]

Also, is there a best squad ?

[coral oar]

wow lucky

[floral mist]

Special Squad

[tacit oyster]

why? What's the rate?

[zenith fable]

what are we supposed to do here

[floral mist]

That's basically the intention there

Kill them

[zenith fable]

anything i put down got killed by the dragon that spawned

[tacit oyster]

pray to god you have FRDs or waves of cc ops. The dragon WILL come out regularly. so drop cc one at a time

[tacit oyster]

don't drop them all at once

they will die

[bronze bone]

Promote Raidian then go for Exu alter ?

[zenith fable]

does this work for the cheap frds i only have wai fu and gravel

[tacit oyster]

accept death and just drop them,activate skill, retreat when they'll die, repeat

[floral mist]

Yes.
Trust me, I got the Emergency Version of that, I learn quick that dropping them all is a suicide

[zenith fable]

lmfao i got the emergency one too my run just ended to this

[floral mist]

Generally, yes

[tacit oyster]

nope. You need to kill the spawners quick. Gravel doesn't do enough damage

[coral oar]

the rate is supposedly good, but after failing 3 times I just prepare the ingot

[sonic sable]

How to clear this emergency? Too much dmg

[zenith fable]

hrmm what can i do in this situation, i dont have texas alter or yato unless there are some lower rarity versions of what they do?

[tacit oyster]

Yu and or eyja. Not joking.

[proven dagger]

@halcyon flame @cold fjord first d15 win, i cook with these drafts

[dusk creek]

[cold fjord]

mpreg draft

but ggs

[tacit oyster]

Who can you drop with sp required, and can do quick damage fast?

[sonic sable]

Ya idk how to clear without eyja

[proven dagger]

ggs

[sonic sable]

Too much burn dmg

[proven dagger]

unironically kroos and degen were good drafts

[halcyon flame]

[open finch]

Merry Christmas to enjoyers of my most hated mode

[zenith fable]

i tried to do tragodia and exu alter but they got killed in 2 dragons everyone else is bad haha

[open finch]

Hoping is7 is better

[proven dagger]

highmore finished off the last 10% of Yi it was awesome

[sonic sable]

This emergency is harder than both ed3 boss fught and prerequisite fight

[sullen pollen]

that's awesome!!

[proven dagger]

its a bit repetitive but i quite enjoy is6

[tacit oyster]

Tragodia has enough esp build to drop a cat then die. If you have a flash medic to suddenly heal him more, then he can survive just about 2 waves. Exu2 kills the dragons on the rightmost, making it easier

[tacit oyster]

It was pain

[sullen pollen]

is highmore better than la pluma to the degree that it's worth me leveling her?

[zenith fable]

who is an example of a flash medic?

[sullen pollen]

i'm absolutely sure it was lol

[proven dagger]

NO DONT RAISE HER

[tacit oyster]

pluma is better since there aren't many elemental damage dealers

[floral mist]

Ngl.
Tourist Squad is a Double edged squad, but once it goes to your way, it's satisfying.

[proven dagger]

fr

pluma is much much better than highmore in most situations

[sullen pollen]

cool cool, cause i have la pluma maxxed and like her lol

[proven dagger]

yeah

pluma is great

highmore was a waifu pick here lol

[sullen pollen]

nicelol

[tacit oyster]

At Risk 11 you can only reserve 2 vouchers. so, I gave up.

[sullen pollen]

yeah raidian is op fr

[tacit oyster]

Fuck it, time to use raidan AND buy upgrades. Question is: Should I buy all of them?

[sullen pollen]

exactly lol

almost maxxed

[proven dagger]

i just maxed mine with that last run

[tacit oyster]

I didn't need her for A10. May as well try her out

[proven dagger]

🥳

[cyan sierra]

what is this?

[proven dagger]

fire

[sullen pollen]

hell yeah

[sullen pollen]

lol yours will be maxxed before you even use xD

[bronze bone]

Quick question, how do you upgrade a tongbao ? It "Can be upgraded" into what ?

[ivory gull]

Are tragodia's cat and wis' revenants considered summons for IS collectible effects?

[cyan sierra]

into the same trait but -150 per hit

[tacit oyster]

what was the best squad for IS6 though? Rawdogging A10 was a pain and A11 made it impossible

[cyan sierra]

still pretty much useless

[floral mist]

Go to the Bosky Room, find the Plan node, then exchange the coin that has the:"Upgraded in Plan" description

[tacit oyster]

Fug

Why is the arrow blue?

[devout flicker]

Does it actually make any sense to try to accumulate Yan operators?

[proven dagger]

Special squad is nice if you want to open with a carry + raidian
Tourist good for high rolling coins
Sui regulator good for building team + lighting candles
Tianshi good for exploring and using bosky

[tacit oyster]

4 "Yan" ops allow you to pass some blocks in bosky that require 4yan ops

but if you have 4, you can pass by the 2 easily

[tacit oyster]

I just E2d Raidan. Is this a sign?

[proven dagger]

yeah try it out

raidian is the best is6 op on her own and you can recruit another carry

[sullen pollen]

as far as easy, for me tourist squad and high ground breaching squad

special squad is good, but not as op imo

[tacit oyster]

Christ this is going to take forever

[sullen pollen]

you've done harder things xD

[tacit oyster]

I FUCKING FORGOT ABOUT HER MASTERIES

YOU NEED RAIDAN IN THE SQUAD TO UNLOCK THEM?

[errant siren]

Read

[sullen pollen]

real, the aspd buffs can get crazy, though i think some are glitched, i had piled up a bunch of aspd on the special tiles and off them, but for some reason by the end my aspd had seemed to start going backwards xD

[errant siren]

It says need or not.

[tacit oyster]

I never opened this menu because I never used/opened raidan

and did A10 without upgrades

now I have to do it again which sucks

[sullen pollen]

playing without raidian is like hard mode fr

[errant siren]

Madman.

🥹

[tacit oyster]

I just used tactical ranges squad and let cheeto do everything

[sullen pollen]

i like starting with raidian and not spending any hope until the second stage, you can basicaly ensure a great run or reset, makes life so easy

[tacit oyster]

A11 without upgrades is 2 candleguests

2 reserves I mean

and 4 lp

and 5 useless risk coins

nvm crashed when entering the first mission

FINE GAME I'LL BUY UPGRADES AND LEVEL UP RAIDAN

What's the actual EXP conversion rate?

[errant siren]

1 pts from Final Score = 7 EXP.

[tacit oyster]

Well then, I shuold try: Special squad

Does raidan come e2 automatically or...

[fiery plover]

I just realized I still have some deep investigation mission that wasn't completed for IS4

[errant siren]

E1-80 on the start

You have to E2 in the process.

[glossy phoenix]

is there a list of yan ops for is6

[errant siren]

Yes.

Where's my pic

Here.

[glossy phoenix]

TY

[raw vault]

is IS6 finished in CN?

no sign of dlc2 to tease the next playable suibling?

[prime mountain]

we have teased ed5 but not out yet I think

[tacit oyster]

Rope, 2xas, Fucking everyone in PL AND THEIR ALTERS???
Huh???

[raw vault]

Lungmen is part of Yan

so yeah

[tacit oyster]

I thought it was Hong-kong stand-in

wait...

[round trellis]

Gods hates me

[tacit oyster]

no I realized who the devs were again

[raw vault]

it's basically a city state, but still part of yan

[raw vault]

lol
lmao even

[tacit oyster]

I get that, but Why 2xas?

[errant siren]

Penguin, Lungmen Police, Sui and Lee Agency also counts.

As well as paired factions.

[tacit oyster]

isn't Texas Alter siracusian?

[raw vault]

? Texas is part of PL which is based in lungmen

[errant siren]

No, both are Penguin.

And Penguin base is located in...

LUNGMEN.

[raw vault]

as of a previous CN update all OPs are allowed multifaction

[errant siren]

[tacit oyster]

Im glad that my boiii jaye is used a lot in this IS

[raw vault]

Exu is PL, Lungmen, Yan and Laterano

[tacit oyster]

really?

nice

[raw vault]

Mostima is PL, Lungmen, Yan Laterano

Texas is PL Lungmen Yan Siracusa

etc

[proven dagger]

wasian

[raw vault]

perfumer also is finally Minos I think

[tacit oyster]

that expands my faction understanding greatly

because now that means I don't need sui + lee's team for the 4 yan ops

[raw vault]

HG applied a very loose definition of factions tho

like on paper is true but

running a purebreed Yan team an including Exu feels iffy

[main roost]

You still probably wanna get Shu

[chrome tangle]

where is this image from

looks neat

[tacit oyster]

why?

[errant siren]

Idk I stole it here.

[main roost]

Shu has good role compression

[errant siren]

[chrome tangle]

i wouldnt waste hope on shu

[tacit oyster]

Usually my yan team would be Jaye, Shaw, swire, etc, then Sui + lee team

[chrome tangle]

when gummy can just hold ED3 boss

[tacit oyster]

usually I get jaye first because free specialist who's decent at healing or holding a lane if you don't need DP

[prime mountain]

Saria sp generation on ed3 goes hard tho

[errant siren]

WHO WOULD WIN:

• An eldritch dragon who can turn into bad dragon and do magic tricks and corrupt the world

• A baby bear (going cannibal)

[shy flint]

Does exp keep stacking at lv 50 and ill get the rewards when new rewards are there next month or is it locked and i have to wait next month to play again ?

[errant siren]

Locked.

Don't play.

[shy flint]

Well damn now im sad, thanks

[errant siren]

Play to E2 Raidian.

Or even max her.

[devout flicker]

I just passed a 2 Yan node, but I only count 1 Yan 🤔

[raw meadow]

Wtf is this shit. Ending 2 relic encounter was literally on the last dream node. I'm on floor 5. It's like every time I try to do this fucking ending I somehow manage to craft the most dogshit rng imaginable. Statisticians everywhere are crying blood right now

Even the path to the encounter was behind 4 doubt nodes that were impassable during 4 earlier floors. Only specialist voucher went to getting e1 exu alter. No fast redebloys (other than cantabile/raidian summons I guess)

[rapid pulsar]

Leizi and exu

Are both yan

[rapid pulsar]

Bad rng

What are some good starting teams, and what are some units to consider leveling to use here. I'm seeing a lot talking about using Yan units?

[halcyon flame]

take the degen

[tacit oyster]

Archetto. E2 has an IS specific module that boosts her and any unit with offensive recovery skill

[proven dagger]

yeah

im thinking degen kroos shamare

[halcyon flame]

thats my goat right there

pick may up

[tacit oyster]

[prisma sandal]

ah that one yea

what would may do

[halcyon flame]

perma uptime slow

very useful with cheeto

and solid pick

[proven dagger]

oh

oh i see ur vision

yeah good idea

[halcyon flame]

This is my sample draft

For Archetto

But obv uh

It’s missing a few unjts

On en

[proven dagger]

what the ballin

[proven dagger]

im tryna find the post about this rn

[halcyon flame]

i can send iy

[tacit oyster]

Combine Cheeto with:
Puzzle, Degen S1-S2, Angelina S1, Fia and even Narantuya. Her Module makes her generate SP for deployed offensive units without them shooting. Angelina, Narantuya, Ines S1 and puzzle generating DP better than myrtle, and 6* ops never go off-skill

[proven dagger]

i have puzzle built actually

[raw meadow]

Somehow managed to turn it around over 3 last nodes before boss and now have this lineup against the ARM

[tacit oyster]

So that's perfect to pick option 1 for my ranged units. But what if I still don't want it?

[gaunt bay]

No e2 exu

Bowomp

[rotund latch]

wdym I can keep a guaranteed 6 star vouch?

[tacit oyster]

Puzzle S1 benefis from cheeto drastically by constantly being on and giving dp like ines s2

[gaunt bay]

It will rerandomize the six star

[raw meadow]

Couldn't find the last specialist voucher + enough hope

[cold fjord]

yes but the temp recruit will be random

[tacit oyster]

as long as cheeto's hitting something

[cold fjord]

wdym

you cant reject it

[rotund latch]

thats peak

[proven dagger]

yeah

[tacit oyster]

you can in the garden

[crisp delta]

can someone explain to me is6 ending 1, how do i find out which of my ops have white or black attribute according to the smoke?

[proven dagger]

if an op is on a black smokey tile they're black and vice versa

this stage is always so tense lmao

[tacit oyster]

fuck that stage

[proven dagger]

cheeto clears

🚬

[crisp delta]

do u only mean the,,special tiles'' and 90% of the rest tiles are just neutral tiles?

[tacit oyster]

yeah. Without cheeto at the bottom mid tile and 1 distraction for 1 nuke, it's dead

[proven dagger]

yeah those circled tiles are the special attribute tiles, operators who aren't deployed on those are not assigned an attribute

Hui and Ming are what those special tile are called, for future reference

[cold fjord]

honestly they are kinda irrelevant

just focus on stalling the boss with trag/raidian

[pallid summit]

how do we promote a candleguest via combat?

[cold fjord]

pathfinder node do combat
if combat option not unlocked unlock it in tech tree

[crisp delta]

ok cheers! and may i ask how u abuse those tiles? or how u best play around them? beat the boss twice on d0 and d1 ..but now im at for the first time (whiped couple of times before,) so would love to tackle him down now .. got kaltsit e2, tragoria e2, wisdasdel e2 and e1 raidian

[pallid summit]

ah ok ty, i am still too early on then

[proven dagger]

operators on those tiles deal more damage to enemies of the opposite color and take reduced damage from enemies of the same color

so you can use them to tank the Liangs or help damage Yi

avg furrilo

cant read

Bro you think I read the challenges instead of just having them all auto completed after a while?

I just draft raidian and shit gets done

[desert brook]

kal is great cuz it doesnt bother her skill activation if a talisman gets stuck on mon3tr

only downside is low hitcount

[main roost]

I choked against ED2 with this

Had enough LP to survive the enemies, but not enough damage to kill the boss

Or did I misplay catastrophically somehow?

i feel like trag draft is kinda wasted for ed2 but maybe im missing strats

but yeah definitely looks like lack of dps

[main roost]

I feel like maybe I just suck

[vagrant burrow]

what diff is this?

[main roost]

9

I know

It's pathetic

[vagrant burrow]

nah that’s fine lol im still on 11

[main roost]

But my Relics and coins were kinda ass

IDK

How to avoid that

Since Stir-Fry is basically the only good damage erlic

[proven dagger]

dawg

[raw vault]

highmore? rerally?

[prime mountain]

I think we all need to learn how to better greed the bosky

[raw vault]

he can solve a lot of f5 combats, but for ed2 itself hes ... yeah

[raw vault]

there actually many

[main roost]

Give some examples

I guess there is the bell one

[vagrant burrow]

bell one broken as hell

bells of agreement

[raw vault]

like
stirfry is dead if you get it too late (scales with bosky combats)
then theres another that scales with the amount of flower coins in coffer (20 HP 10Atk)
and the 15% atk per toss relic (up to +150%)

[vagrant burrow]

you could also stack summon relics and buff raidian to high hell

[proven dagger]

s1m3 but also waifu pick

[steel relic]

Drum

God bless the drum

Fucking broken ass thing

[raw vault]

and ofc theres the ammo relics

making exu2 a monster

[vagrant burrow]

is block relic stacking a potential method

[main roost]

Raidian is bait generator for that

Bells kinda suck

[vagrant burrow]

the foot? why not just use frd

[vagrant burrow]

huh

[main roost]

Don't usually draft them?

[raw vault]

there are technically lots of landen relics, but this iteration hates landen with a passion

[vagrant burrow]

wtf bells suck 🥹

[main roost]

Bells of Agreement

[vagrant burrow]

my +120% atk minimum relic

unless you get it f5 then skill issue idk

[main roost]

I mean, I always recruit on Pathfinder nodes

[prime depot]

can this relic be used with Raidian S1 to get the unlock condition?

[vagrant burrow]

you can recruit through bosky instead

[main roost]

Bosky gets you one Recruit

[vagrant burrow]

im not even sure if that relic works with summons given the wording

[raw vault]

... why

why would you even try

[vagrant burrow]

all you need
recruit + light and then promote normally

or just recruit and promote normally and light using the battle

[prime mountain]

Eh, if you can afford to waste one pathfind on a fight at f5 they're pretty good. free 80% attack

Now if you get the lightning coin they are insane

[raw vault]

even with bad rng if you get bells before bosky, you can still cope like +60% which is better than a lot of relics

[vagrant burrow]

i only need a handful of carry candleguests, if i have them when i get bell i start drafting slop that can survive trials lol

lightning is so funny

[raw vault]

ive gotten the leifa coin like 3 times

[vagrant burrow]

+9 sp/s runs

😌

[raw vault]

and all those it has been useless cuz 100% of my squad is already a candleholder

theres also the aspd per candleholder relic

[prime mountain]

How hard does the lightning hit btw

[raw vault]

and lets not forget

the candleholder atk/def + 50% relic

outright busted

[main roost]

If you get that event in bosky

[vagrant burrow]

is6 feels the most roguelike of all the IS so far

[gaunt bay]

Put degen on s2

[vagrant burrow]

if you highroll you just buff the fuck out of one or two niches and you play around them

probably why it’s my favorite IS so far

[raw vault]

like
you have some choices, but you really need to adapt to what you get

like sure, everyone opens with radian + +

but everything after that

[steel relic]

Idk about everyone

[raw vault]

can go crazy both ways

[vagrant burrow]

really? i thought i was pretty crazy for opening raidian

[prime mountain]

Hell outside of ed2, you can even scrape by without dps relics

[raw vault]

normal people*

[vagrant burrow]

how tf do you beat ed3 without dps

without yk

just leaking the entire stage

fucking dragons

i think i just need more practice

[main roost]

Maybe Shamare?

[vagrant burrow]

dyg think it’s worth taking 2 combat over 1 em if the 2 combats require my only 3 coupons

[prime mountain]

I did it while leaking 8 and just like stalling everything else 😭

Tragodia spam but it summons balls everywhere was crazy

[vagrant burrow]

oh yeah that makes sense

i had no trag on my run

i forgot to bring a vg and i brought logos for some fuck ass reason

[prime mountain]

I don't recommend him for ed3 btw, at least not on s2 if you dont have a consistent way to clear the balls this shit was ass

Entire map was just balls

[main roost]

I'm not sure her debuff helps much

[vagrant burrow]

i just use raidian to clear balls

but it requires so much thinking

[trail spear]

how do you consistently get ed2 and ed3

i feel like i always get randomly gated by poor bosky rng

[prime mountain]

I couldnt even deploy her summons anywhere because they would get stunned immediately from being surrounded...

[brittle zealot]

Finally beat the base level of IS6

[prime mountain]

ed2 becomes a prophecy later so we know what is is

Ed3 is consistent it feels like no?

[trail spear]

[vagrant burrow]

ed2 is from an encounter in the outside ring of the 5x5 around spawn (i think), it’s not consistent
ed3 is also in the 5x5 around spawn but it’s a doubt node instead, this one feels a lot more consistent at least

[trail spear]

idk, am i supposed to save my candles?

[vagrant burrow]

yeah you had to keep them on the board just to make like a snake chain

[trail spear]

it feels like i can't clear any of the early turmoils with just raidian and need one other carry

[prime mountain]

You save on first one

[vagrant burrow]

and then undeploy all at once

[trail spear]

like exu 2

[pallid summit]

what does can be upgraded in Plan mean?

[prime mountain]

Trade it in a plan node inside a bosky

it gives you a better version

[pallid summit]

do we need to unlock plan nodes in the tech tree? Idt i have ever seen one 😅

[prime mountain]

Yes you do, stop slacking and upgrade all of it 👍

[main roost]

I choked against the alter of the floor 3 teleport boss

Holy shit I hate his ass so much

[prime mountain]

Why did I just get roberta voiceline when I dont have her in my team wtf

[main roost]

It's like you start getting teleported just by doing what you're supposed to

He literally scrambled my team to hell

WTF

[prime mountain]

Oh yeah fisherman alt is ass

[main roost]

What were they thinking?

Run-ending ass shit

[prime mountain]

You really NEED to rush him and kill asap

[main roost]

Is there a new operator coming out in the future that makes you instantly win the stage if they get teleported?

[main roost]

I tried that

With Geexu

Literally scratched his ass

DFuk

[gaunt bay]

Is this the entel tech

[prime mountain]

Yep just entel his ass

[main roost]

I don't have Entelechia

We should just get a build-a-banner once a year

No bullshit

You pick one 6* (non-limited) and two 5* and that's your banner

[main roost]

How does she help?

Doesn't he just shit on you for having the gall to exist and roll his yee-yee ass stage?

[prime mountain]

Simply cast s2 and pray it kills (or s3 idk)

[main roost]

I just want to pay money to go to CN and fistfight Haimao over this shirt

[prime mountain]

If only I was on a different squad and not doing the raidian unlocks so I could rob f1 😭

[nocturne cape]

Nope still mpreg

The drum is there

[prime mountain]

Sui regulator squad just gave me 3 snipers in a row what does this mean

[nocturne cape]

It means Ros draft

For her cute new outfit

[main roost]

You are Entel and Narantuya haver no?

[cold fjord]

ros new outfit mega cute

[prime mountain]

Actually peak outfit

[halcyon flame]

wow

you

[trail spear]

im like

struggling

[halcyon flame]

nah

furillo

[trail spear]

to get ed2 and ed3 consistently

[halcyon flame]

u are different

my mistake

[trail spear]

im not sure what im doing yet

[prime mountain]

Im john highroll wcyd

🥀

[cold fjord]

cubes screenshot now looks tame in comparison!

[halcyon flame]

furillo yk that image template of the "never ask x their x"

im cropping ur pfp as we speak

[prime mountain]

[cold fjord]

never ask furrilo about the runs where he doesnt highroll

[nocturne cape]

My screenshot had 0 mpreg relic

What are you on about

[cold fjord]

+80% hp is still pregnant tier

[halcyon flame]

it was legit just some HP i think euthy has like

[cold fjord]

but like

1 month pregnant

[halcyon flame]

the 67 equilivent of IS brainrot

bro HAS to mpreg

[cold fjord]

while furrilos screenshot is 9months pregnant tier

[nocturne cape]

What are you on about

Its even a defender voucher

[cold fjord]

yep hoshi voucher

[vagrant burrow]

just pause the run for a month

[main roost]

God

This sucks so much

I don't even understand what that teleportation clown does

He just shits on my units

Or which even is the elite teleportation clown

[prime mountain]

I FOUND IT

[main roost]

Also Caster dead ticket

[prime mountain]

You need liuer encounter before bosky

[main roost]

Holy shit

Please

[nocturne cape]

I just dont get those mpreg relics in my run

Wcyd

[cold fjord]

just be like mika

every run coin machine stir fry

[main roost]

What's mika's deal?

[prime mountain]

The trick is to do a random ass run you dont care about then you immediately highroll everything

[quartz crescent]

how do i access IS6 ED3?

[main roost]

I just want to do more masteries on Raidian

[quartz crescent]

i know ED2 is the butterfly bosky

[main roost]

ED2 first

[pallid summit]

why would I take this?

[main roost]

I think it's Weiqi Board bosky

[prime mountain]

leads to ed3

[main roost]

With 5 Candleguests

[quartz crescent]

oh i have to do ED2 first?

[cold fjord]

Because its for ed3

[quartz crescent]

that's funny i should've done it earlier

[main roost]

Is ED3 the one with the tree boss?

[halcyon flame]

the machine is a lie euthy

[cold fjord]

Wdym

🪢

[halcyon flame]

[cold fjord]

🪒

[gaunt bay]

Morning square thing

Well

Afternoon

[remote umbra]

I just had to check out the village instead of taking the 2 shield points. Right?
Literally no melee ops

[prime mountain]

This is raidian showcase map

you kinda need her

Very hard without

[halcyon flame]

@cold fjord is there a set amount of lesiure nodes in a bosky

[steel relic]

If it’s not 2 it should be

[nocturne cape]

Hi kiwi

[halcyon flame]

ok see

this deserves the mpreg

not the other one

maybe euthy is just sick

[steel relic]

Maybe euthy is a freak and just wants to see that stuff

[halcyon flame]

both of them were shu

[cold fjord]

2 sometimes 1

[halcyon flame]

brother

there is clearly 3

[prime mountain]

Screenshot above

it has 3

[halcyon flame]

in that image

[prime mountain]

Euthy truly slop

[cold fjord]

oh

i haven't seen 3 yet

lemme chekc

[prime mountain]

Oh this is fucked, they dont just die to the explosion

No satisfying chain

[halcyon flame]

waow is this snp

[cold fjord]

ok it doesn't say anything about the limit

[halcyon flame]

surely its nto 3 shu

smile

[cold fjord]

[prime mountain]

Have you tried simply having a million hope and being rich?

smh

[nocturne cape]

Only +40% atk on entel

The goat

[steel relic]

Is this diff alone or diff + coin

[main roost]

What stage is this?

ED2 alter?

[halcyon flame]

we've truly come full circle to say only 40%

[cold fjord]

thats ed3 prereq

[nocturne cape]

Its is6

So

It means this is not the 1 in 4 kinda game

[prime mountain]

Roadblock aura farming

[halcyon flame]

dry land is a myth

[uncut ore]

jesus.... wis + exu2 just utterly dominated yi.

[halcyon flame]

i have not seen it

[steel relic]

Yi is not very hard to kill I’m ngl

I killed him with Exu last night

Original, not alt

[halcyon flame]

on d12?

[steel relic]

9

[gaunt bay]

Bro got downgraded

[halcyon flame]

congrats

[steel relic]

I had snack basket and fist classics so I was just running some auto skills

[uncut ore]

[prime mountain]

We spend now

[halcyon flame]

???/

nice lesiure nodes

[proven dagger]

makes 0 difference there

[gaunt bay]

Just for future reference

[halcyon flame]

stop backseating

[hard steppe]

i get like 3 frames per second on this map

[rancid pilot]

WHAT THE FUCK IS A WOODEN LUMP

ALSO HOLY SHIT THAT ENCOUNTER HAS A 400% SPAWN RATE I DON'T HAVE TO FARM OUT ANY DOGSHIT YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i'll prob get on that tomorrow, deep in the Monster Train 2 mines rn

[remote umbra]

Do i go into this blind? Feels like a run ender

[rancid pilot]

dw it's a freebie

Ling's just there vibing

[remote umbra]

Oh come on, i cant play any of them. No 2 flower/risk coins

[uncut ore]

[shy widget]

what happens here

🤔

[eager gorge]

did a quick IS6 base stages difficulty tier list based on my limited experience (A11 currently). anything that you could identify as a clear skill issue that could be bumped down ?

[gaunt bay]

Incredible way to rank

[round trellis]

where EM inferno?

[eager gorge]

kept the top categorie empty because I feel like there's no 100% guaranteed immediate game over stage like Water and fire union in IS6

oh yeah those are not emergency stages else half of them would be waaay higher

[pallid summit]

is there any way to increase the number of summons raiden can deploy from 3?

[gentle frost]

I just fundamentally don't understand how to do this turmoil, it's the one with drones, including the one that hits every possible tile you can deploy on.

[uncut ore]

Nice... got my own raidian to E2

[old geyser]

wait for enough DP to deploy 2-3 ops together, deploy your main ranged DPS first then immediately deploy the others before the drone starts its wind up

[main bison]

Surfer or Cantabile, which one for IS6 and why?

[vagrant burrow]

most of the time surfer since her dp is frontloaded and she doesn’t need to hit as many times to generate the same amount of dp

otherwise they’re practically carbon copies, total dp is the same (not counting aspd modifiers), atk stat is the same, dp cost is the same

[main bison]

Both pot 6, Surfer S1M3, Cant is M6

[vagrant burrow]

literally the same as me lol

point still stands

but yea i prio surfer

wait shit i meant surfer earlier @main bison

typo

surfer also scales better with aspd since she has less of it by default

[gaunt bay]

Canta surfer both good here

Canta can activate exu bombardment talent so ive actually been drafting her over surfer a lot

Its a nice bit of extra damage that helps opening multi lane stages

[steel relic]

Draft Puzzle

[main bison]

Vs Surfer? Please explain

[gaunt bay]

🥹

[gaunt bay]

Cantabile s2 is an ammo skill

[main bison]

Oh, so you're saying Cant S2

[gaunt bay]

Is6 has plenty of relics that will allow her s2 to come up pretty fast

[main bison]

Yeah, that makes sense

[gaunt bay]

So its nice damage+heals for exu

Pretty good

[harsh ermine]

to unlock tactical destruction squad, the requirement says “complete an adventure while having at least 5 specialist or caster operators.”

does this mean i need to defeat the first boss, yi, with a squad that includes at least 5 specialists/casters? do those operators need to be actively deployed when the boss is defeated, or is it enough for them to just be in my squad even if i don’t place them?

also, what does “complete an adventure” mean in this context? does it refer to finishing the entire run, and how am i supposed to reach 5 specialist/caster operators in a single adventure?

[gaunt bay]

You can beat any ending

Its 5 specialist or caster total

[main bison]

Next question is if it's worth getting her module (Cantabile)

[gaunt bay]

Probably idk

I dont even have surfer module yet xd

[main bison]

Or is the intent not to worry about E2?

[gaunt bay]

Im lazy

🥹

[remote umbra]

2nd win, all bcs i didnt got the fire vase start, altho the boss started walking on the right side, where i didnt deployed anyone yet so i ended up blocking the boss under the middle of the stage.
Still ED1 start will always be a hassle cuz of the intial setup + possible redeployment of the strat

[main bison]

I didn't bother with Ines's module TBH

[gaunt bay]

Id get mod1 on ines at least

[compact gorge]

These enemies are disgusting

[neat pike]

Uhh btw for any1 aiming for ed 3 how you guys manage to enter bosky ??

Do you save until floor 4 before entering or floor 3 and go to bosky again at floor 4 ?

[stray dove]

ok Humus start is much easier but need to learn when to refresh one of the summons so that I don't lose both when lancers start dropping

[pallid summit]

is the max raiden summons 4 on the field?

it seems to be 3 initially and 4 after the 1st skill finishes?

[stray dove]

talent gives her drops going beyond that

[pallid summit]

i can never do more than 4 🤔

[steel relic]

Mission shit gives her +1 (e1) or +2 (e2)

At f3

[pallid summit]

ah ic ty

[shy widget]

guys, is5 ed5 - what am i losing life points randomly to o_o

[steel relic]

Jailed enemies who get eaten by the floor are considered as leaked and you lose appropriate hp

[shy widget]

that's a thing

so im just supposed to not deploy them or retreat them beforehand?

fuck if i only knew that

thought i was going to beat the boss

[steel relic]

What

It has nothing to do with your operators

[stiff vine]

Am I just playing is5 wrong? No other IS makes me literally do everything I can to avoid combat nodes on floors 4 and 5

[shy widget]

Oh

jailed ENEMIES

i read that wrong

[raw vault]

considering IS5 is the most consistent iteration we have, where you can force king set
yes

oh no
avoiding combat F5 is normal

[stiff vine]

So you need specific collectibles to consistently beat is5?

Ew

[raw vault]

that's only for high diff

baseline IS5 is the easiest we have

unless you go for endmiya or quilon

[stiff vine]

I find every other IS so much easier idk

[raw vault]

they require targeted drafts

[stiff vine]

At first I thought it was power creep but like is6 feels way easier

[raw vault]

shittiest IS in general is 3

which diff are you playing

[stiff vine]

Mainly its floors 4 and 5 that are getting to me

Diff 3 💀

I beat every other is to diff 10 so far, just getting back into the game the past couple months

[steel relic]

Is5 has some abysmal f4/5 stages from expansions

[shy widget]

is3

[raw vault]

IS5 expansion stages are aids yes

but
lamp is a thing

[stiff vine]

I feel like if I learn the meta strategies around is5 it’ll probably be easier, but the thing is with other is I can just go in blind and it’s completely fine

[shy widget]

what kind of operators are you using

[raw vault]

maybe it's a roster issue?

[stiff vine]

Exusiai alter mostly

[shy widget]

so you're supposed to bounce your operators between the balls and enemies to shorten the distance balls have to travel

gotcha

and release all enemies

if i knew that i think i could have beaten the stage

[shy widget]

my saving grace in is5 is by far lapp alter

[shy widget]

regular army and elusive merc have to be up there with that one is3 stage

[raw vault]

remember to not kill the bosses

killing the bosses triggers the stage change before the timer is up

[shy widget]

does killing bosses reduce your hp

oh god

im using lapp alter mainly so that's an issue

[raw vault]

endmiya stage is literally the microing tutorial

[shy widget]

im sure it'll be fine

[raw vault]

also
whoever thought up the Wang relics conditions and f6 stages

deserves to step on lego

holy aids

[shy widget]

i like is5 way more than is6 for now

i came back to the game like 3 weeks ago so im catching up on missed endings in is5

[desert brook]

well TIL

cant do this stage for 8 minutes

[steel relic]

Killing the bosses immensely shortens the time until Amiya starts destroying the floor

[shy widget]

does damaging amiya do anything

i noticed she went invulnerable at 50%

[steel relic]

No

She just goes invulnerable at 50% until the third map

[shy widget]

is the third map the final one?

[steel relic]

Yeah

[shy widget]

thank you for this info

it's really helpful

i wish more info was given in game but yeah

its my own fault for doing things only on 18

[stray dove]

come out, little "bunny"

[desert brook]

i keep making the mistake of trying to block the bunnies and it gets me killed because they go past

[stray dove]

yeah just look at them

[steel relic]

I forgot how they worked the first time I got this stage because not having the vines around to fuck up attack ranges threw me off

[old geyser]

D12 down. Turns out failing a turmoil node 3 times in a row didn't spoil the run nearly as much as I thought it would

[raw vault]

stage is made to kick your nuts at least twice

[tacit oyster]

HUH

My radian isn't maxxed

[raw vault]

special squad radian comes maxed yes

but without proficiencies

you need to unlock those yourself

[gentle frost]

We're done...
Well not technically, but close enough!

[tacit oyster]

All her skills are m3

[raw vault]

proficiencies, not masteries

[tacit oyster]

except I only just recently E2d her. Not levelling skills or anything

I need to check

[gentle frost]

Proficiencies are basically extra talents

Thats the only thing a temp recruitment doesn't auto unlock

[proven dagger]

@cold fjord hear me out exu s1

[tacit oyster]

yes. With high ASPD it's practically S3 with the bonus from the "1 second after skil activation perks

[proven dagger]

yeah

[tacit oyster]

WITH RAIDAN I CAN ACTUALLY CLEAR OUT THE BOSKY?

I DON'T HAVE ANY UPGRADES YET. JUST E2'D RAIDAN

[keen bough]

For the boss, best skill for Logos is the first or last ?

And to be safe I place my Tragodia below the map ?

[primal geyser]

Should i do it for the funny

[remote umbra]

Starting to get the hang of this. Did ed1 on Diff2. Unlucky that i didnt had any hope towards the end for mlynar so i ended up recruiting fodder

[tacit oyster]

no

mone canNOT be exchanged for goods and services

[primal geyser]

I'm not gonna get the aspd coin anyway (manifesting)

[raw vault]

if you are just going unga bunga
would would be your first guard pick (you can directly e2)

ed3

[keen bough]

Help me I don't want to start this IS again🥲

[subtle sonnet]

getting triple defender vouch on first floor , time to rest till Ato banner

[proven dagger]

im tryna figure out how i can do spuria start for is6

[raw vault]

IS6 definitely has the most disgusting f2 squads of any IS

the pathfinder mechanic truly is something else

[proven dagger]

LOL yeah

what squad are you on rn

[raw vault]

coin squad

this is my first pathfinder node btw

[proven dagger]

sweet

nice

yeah

[raw vault]

hopefully I don't fold to f6

I'm trying to get the Wang ending

last run almost did

but my relics were so ass

this run is a disgusting highroll tho

[remote umbra]

I kinda like the ranged op squad where snipers/casters cost -2 hope

[proven dagger]

geez

[teal bison]

turns out u cant get ending2 relic in turmoil 🙃

[tribal furnace]

Welp

[raw vault]

[proven dagger]

holy shit

ive been missing out

[proven dagger]

[tribal furnace]

Mistakes were made

[proven dagger]

5 whole shops i haven't cleared yet

[teal bison]

you can? i got it to half pretty sure but nothing dropped

[proven dagger]

wait how do i farm RA points

does the device method work

[keen bough]

I lost again

Anyone has a solution?

I always die with the flying marionettes

How can you deal with this shit😭😭

[raw vault]

what you talking bout
