is-station

[prime mountain]

yeah for this map mizuki soloes

[prime vine]

I shouldve done that

[prime mountain]

Like take this for example

Im on tianshi squad, so likely to path into safehouses

Dont need ingots so left green bonus is useless

+2 shields could be useful

[hybrid mural]

No, like, specifically the tongbao I should be rolling for the ed3 wang fight in particular.

[prime mountain]

For fights its just, wathever buffs you

[hybrid mural]

As by f6, normally I have a decent assortment of good combat tongbao so I was just curious if people preferred certain ones besides generic good ones.

[devout flicker]

For some reason I've hit a wall at Guided Tour 2. I'd like to get through it to E2 Raidian. What's the easiest starting Squad/Op picks?

[low vortex]

Exu2 Trag Leizi2 Mizuki Wisadel Logos are the staples

Class squads are pretty good

[steel relic]

Ok d11 is trash

We stick to 10

[prime mountain]

Red known fraud

cant even d15 in a def/supp meta

[steel relic]

“Tacfort meta” bro it’s Raidian

[prime mountain]

Ok we dont have haruka/hoshi yet fine

[steel relic]

She’s genuinely not an interesting operator

[prime mountain]

Actually free win button

[steel relic]

But you eat shit without her because lmao -2 voucher hold limit

And playing tacfort inherently makes the RNG way worse because shops now have an approximate 0% chance to contain a vg voucher

[prime mountain]

Simply get 0 dp cost relic for summons and raidian soloes even better

[lofty quiver]

Don't think I've ever seen a three tiered first floor

[steel relic]

I actually had both of them but she’s only m1 and I lost to Yi because I never use her and don’t care about the strats

Everyone I deployed just died on spawn because of the +20% atk

And it was the frog variation btw so that’s 6 oneshots just sitting in the middle of the map

[prime mountain]

The one leisure node is ling node

[neat pike]

Btw what is6 1st expansion do actually ? Why people said it makes easier ?

[agile hill]

bro what happened to you, still on 7 grinding for radian?

[prime mountain]

I just wasnt doing her challenges

its the last one I need then I go back to d12 and unlock d15 real quick

Never touching tianshi squad again ts kinda ass

[agile hill]

apparently cn is praising spec cast

i feel like its usage is literally just early exu e2 and 1 radian

[prime mountain]

But that means free early bosky fights which snowballs

[agile hill]

its still tough if you didn't get a supporter vouncher

f2 bosky is mostly radian carry

which spec cast can't really help

[glossy phoenix]

What’s an incursion point

[agile hill]

wait, that means supporter defender?

[prime mountain]

red box

[agile hill]

yeah then, but at this point you play supporter defender no?

higher chance for second supporter vouncher

[prime mountain]

Raidian alone isnt enough, need exu

For anti air maps

[agile hill]

i saw a playlist where it is just radian, i guess it is in quite ideal condition then

[prime mountain]

Yeah there's no way raidian soloes half the drone maps

[jovial pollen]

I've had raidian s3 solo every stage and kill Yi

[agile hill]

most of the time you go to bosky twice right? and earn candle on f1,2, and 4

[prime mountain]

Nah you want to do f2 bosky ideally

For more stable f3

[agile hill]

i know

[agile hill]

also if you go f3, you may be forced to choose between path finder and bosky

[prime mountain]

Thats fine, you go pathfind f3 to spend the vouchers you got from the bosky

[devout flicker]

What's the start around bosky? I've just been doing it every opportunity. Sounds like I should be saving candles instead?

[prime mountain]

save f1 and pretty much always just go after

[agile hill]

you never even entered bosky tho

[prime mountain]

You did on f2...

This is why you dont f3 bosky

[agile hill]

i mean for if you go f3

[prime mountain]

Yeah well dont

[lofty quiver]

I hate ice age so much it's unreal

[steel relic]

Enter at every chance you get because it’s tosses for drum

[hybrid mural]

But did you know that using hope at the right time can help make adventures go more smoothly?

[lofty quiver]

Shit no i didn't

I shouldve used hope to forfeit my run instead of play ice age

[prime mountain]

f1 drum 🫃

[steel relic]

Just simply

[agile hill]

guys why do you get 10 candles when entering on f2?

[steel relic]

Stir fry too while you’re at it

[agile hill]

also i guess it is not that bad right? when you enter on f1, you can just travel the nodes a little bit, your candles are not wasted

[prime mountain]

They're more likely to be than if you entered on f2

[agile hill]

what are more likely to be than.

[prime mountain]

Wasted

The one tile

[agile hill]

oh yeah what if you have shit vouncher, i think it is probably better to go in to bosky no?

[prime mountain]

Well this is why we play class squads, so you dont roll shit vouchers zzz

[agile hill]

if you didn't get a specialist and a supporter, time to get in f1?

[agile hill]

i mean just exu is not enough, you need raidian

[jovial pollen]

if you go in f1 and you get battles nodes you can't clear, the candles are wasted

[agile hill]

you won't be blocked by combats, do some other nodes to expand your route

[prime mountain]

You can

Ive had a run with like

4 fights

[jovial pollen]

I've had one Legend node be a dead end and the other 3 nodes leading into combat

[agile hill]

will, that run probably need to be resetted anyways if your vouncher was shit as well

[prime mountain]

Nope I hear good players have 99% win rate in is6

!

[sick mason]

I feel like this is the first time I managed to reveal the whole wonderland

[agile hill]

yeah thats the 1% of the 1% run trust

[nocturne cape]

0 damage 🙁

[prime mountain]

Nuh uh bro has devotion!!!

Also enlistment order, simply get good fights

[nocturne cape]

shrimply

[agile hill]

enlistment order

[steel relic]

Just use auto skills for snack basket

Trust the process

[nocturne cape]

yep im not adaptive enough, should've figured out a placement to trigger enlistment order

my bad gang

[agile hill]

oh yeah for ed 2, is this set up better a lot of times?/

[prime mountain]

Trag s3 summons can be there

[steel relic]

Does the aerial incursion box not count

[nocturne cape]

i actually dont know

[prime mountain]

🫃

[nocturne cape]

i have no real ground op to test anyway

[agile hill]

you get to use enlistment order

[nocturne cape]

maybe i can test with surfer

[shrewd pier]

how awful is this map?

[prime mountain]

quite possibly the worst is6 map

[agile hill]

easier than the other

[nocturne cape]

EM Inferno is prob the worst F6 map

[agile hill]

yeah tried it, it does not

[nocturne cape]

[agile hill]

isn't ggarisson worse?

[nocturne cape]

no i think garrison is easier

still bad enough but not inferno level of cringe

[shrewd pier]

whats on inferno?

[prime mountain]

I just spent 250 ingots in a shop wtf

[prime mountain]

is6 may be fun

[prime mountain]

Burn chalices

💀

[shrewd pier]

I guess i'll juist do garrison then

[prime vine]

what im unlocking from deep investigations btw

[hybrid mural]

Me when I have to run the exact same core comp for the limbillionth time and all that differs is relic count

[agile hill]

guys is more supplies better than kettle

[prime mountain]

That sounds like is5

zzz

[hybrid mural]

Real

[halcyon flame]

[nocturne cape]

what happened to bro's ling loop

[halcyon flame]

i got bored

would rather just play the game and find the collectibles

[prime vine]

guys

what are deep investagions exactly

[prime mountain]

Shrimply get run

Ok I can push d15 now raidian is maxed

[raw cypress]

I have a question

How you upgrade the coin?

[prime mountain]

Plan node in a bosky

Trading it away gives you a better version of it

[raw cypress]

Is the one which you spend 1 hp?

[prime mountain]

Yeah 1 hp 1 coin thing

[raw cypress]

Ok just to be sure

Thanks man

Also what run did you do

[nocturne cape]

today is a good day

[forest orchid]

#TeabagYi

[nocturne cape]

nice

[forest orchid]

And got E2 Radian

[prime vine]

btw when i get the skill training pack do I use it on sum good 6 star or what

[nocturne cape]

you can use it on bad 6 stars too

[iron orchid]

immediately s1m3 lessing

[halcyon flame]

my ed2 is in one of the 2 nodes i didnt get to in bosky

[iron orchid]

wdym you dont like gambling

??

incomprehensible, may god have mercy on your wretched soul

[rapid pulsar]

If you really must know I used mine from is5 on saileach s1

[agile hill]

guys, is body of sui completely random on attack time?

[rapid pulsar]

I think more ops on field faster the stomping

[agile hill]

i meant like when it starts charging when raiding you

[rapid pulsar]

Outside the boss battle?

[agile hill]

yes

[rapid pulsar]

Good question

[flint token]

Tomimi says it appears after 45s

but er idk tbh

[vapid fog]

Maan, i got to the Ed2 boss for the first time and lost

Wis'adel's S3's massive blast radius kept killing the enemies on the left lane and splitting them into those millions pieces

[sinful sparrow]

M…

[nocturne cape]

youre just like euthy

throwing mpreg on anything

[sinful sparrow]

wtf

nuh uh

thats highroll

[keen bough]

Finally I cleared it😭

First ending thank you Tragodia

[prime mountain]

Holy roberta tech for this stage

They dont run if you cant attack 🔥

Still cant kill statuegeists cause these things beefy af

Ok

[feral scroll]

how are you supposed to kill the boss that yanks your opperators? i feel like i only kill him with an godlike setup

[prime mountain]

Deploy good melee operator and hopefully just murder him quick

[agile hill]

guys, im still seeing invis near object point

with enough d

[feral scroll]

wait fr? i since is3 i almost never get melee ops

[vapid fog]

Chat, is it just my weird luck or is the floating lady boss from F3 extremely rare? I either get the fisherman (good) or the trio (It's over™)

[rough portal]

Heya. What happens when i kill the Body of Sui before the final battle?

[prime mountain]

weird luck, I went like 20 runs without seing fisherman when starting

[prime mountain]

Its the prerequisite for going to ed2

[tepid ocean]

you need to get it below 50% hp to get ed2 to trigger

[agile hill]

guys wtf, invis enemty

[vapid fog]

That's weird, that's my experience with the lady

[agile hill]

i have the collectible

[prime mountain]

near

objective box

[tepid ocean]

objective point is the blue box

[still swallow]

me when:

[prime mountain]

the blue box

[tepid ocean]

red box is incursion point iirc

[agile hill]

isn't it 12 tiles

[rough portal]

Oof. So that's how I got this on the first try.

[tepid ocean]

should be these

at least thats my interpretation from the description

[rough portal]

12 tiles is basically Lin S3 range

[vapid fog]

You saw this Relic and Tongbao?

Funni

[proven dagger]

emergency veteran actor sweep 🗣️

[rough portal]

That's my interpretation.

[prime mountain]

Yeah that

Its phalanx caster default range

8 surround then 4 cardinal directions I think

[vapid fog]

Also found a very strong flower Tongbao, basically another, weaker chalice

[nocturne cape]

stronger chalice

[tepid ocean]

its stronger

[vapid fog]

I didn't remember cuz sadly i died quick after, what's the coin/aspd ratio on the flower coin again?

[old geyser]

3 ASPD per 2 coins

[rough portal]

Does it still count for this if I didn't get the boss at Half HP?

[tepid ocean]

wasnt it 3 per 2

yeah

[vapid fog]

Yea

Strong stuff

[old geyser]

if you're on that fight then it counts

[tepid ocean]

well i see the eyes

so thats ed 2 yeah

though you might have some trouble since its uhh

17 to leak the entire left lane right?

[vapid fog]

The Cannot Tongbao is also pretty strong, tho it's a hard one to get

50% off the stores

[rough portal]

I forgot to put Ethan on the left side and lost the run.

[old geyser]

almost at the top, but that talisman burn from D15 is going to be rough

[tepid ocean]

that reminds me
i need to do d10 ed3 again dammit

[rough portal]

Currently redoing the run but now with Tragodia.

[rough portal]

Wait what

[vapid fog]

I tried to do that strat but Wis'adels overpowered ass shot at the Dragon Leg and killed everything in the left lane i wanted to leak

[rough portal]

S2M3?

[tepid ocean]

radian mod 3 mission

[rough portal]

Normal.

Better to not leak.

Or is it part of mission

[vapid fog]

No, but unless you have Ethan or something

The left lane is filled with those

"Die and spawn 5 wooden things" enemies

That you have to shoot x times to beat

Pain in the ass to do with Dragon Leg on your ass

[rough portal]

Currently F4 Gonna need a lot of defenders.

And VG

[vapid fog]

I don't ever use defenders tbh

[prime mountain]

bro you're on sniper med what is this spec 2 supporter draft

Oh wait no thats ranged

god the icons are confusing

[rough portal]

Happens.

[vapid fog]

What's the Cannot's Mark relic again?

[prime mountain]

+1 hope on lost and found trade or shop purchase

Idk if it changed in is6

[vapid fog]

Meeh

Oh, on shop purchase?

Hmm

[prime mountain]

yeah its really strong

Consider: bosky shops

[vapid fog]

The Bob relic and the Cannot Tongbao event was so mad funny to me for some reason

Also they're both pretty strong, if pretty hard to get

[vapid fog]

Noooow you're talking

Now you got me

I'm at what, 220 at the shop

Ehh, aight, seething over

Back to trying to beat ED2

[prime mountain]

Oh my god only being able to conserve 3 vouchers is so ass at high diff

Why did they make Raidian a necessity 😭

[rapid pulsar]

Her holiness mother of all the one and only supreme lord gummy

[vapid fog]

Yea, sure, if i get cursed with them defender vouchers

[sick mason]

So basically the 5th deployed operator in a battle will get this buff?

[prime mountain]

If you have 5 on the field yes

[flint token]

lowk i just take it in case of dusk encounter but yeah

[prime mountain]

How do you get that btw never seen it

[sick mason]

The encounter with flower pot?

U can see in the background a little there

[flint token]

Drink mud

lets eat mud together

[sick mason]

Block 7 lol

[forest orchid]

How cancer are ED2 and ED3 IS6 bosses?

[sick mason]

ED2 is manageable compared to ED3 I suppose

Because ED3 can only be entered by candlebearers

[sinful sparrow]

the hardest part of an ending 2+3 run is ending 2

ending 3 is jobber piss ass sleeper

[forest orchid]

who thoigh it was good idea

?

[prime mountain]

Dw, ed4 is even more restrictive with who you can bring

It gets worse

Fight is piss easy to compensate

[sick mason]

Meanwhile IS5 ED4 phase 2 can only be accessed by ops crashed by the boat:

Can't imagine what ED5 would look alike in IS6

[cedar ivy]

Is face off and scout actually worth in is6?

Im kinda ok with having more encounters/ops and just lighting candles with conserve

[sick mason]

Be aware of face-off since it can be restricted by either ground or high ground ops

Scout is pretty okay since there's an option to promote + make them a candlebearer (at the cost of 1 life point)

[halcyon flame]

no?

[cedar ivy]

After almost ruining an ed3 run, i can see the value of scout

[halcyon flame]

ed4 is insanely jobber

[cedar ivy]

But I assume face off is friendlier than prove yourself fights where you need tanky ass ops and only have 1-2 candlebearers compared to just magdumping vouchers and hope discounts

[sick mason]

Ofc the "prove yourself" in the pathfinder node feels like a scam

Because not only it's hard, the reward feels like it's not worth it (unless if u have that one relic)

[cedar ivy]

Even with that one relic, id rather get the leifa tongbao

[sick mason]

If the pathfinder combat also promoted the ops instead of JUST making them a candlebearer, that might be more worth

[prime mountain]

Spend hope and make it a gamble: promote and candlebearer on win, lose your hope if you lose

Would be good imo

[fallow hawk]

https://youtu.be/gDZqN7XkjRg?si=mWCOHEKSH4SPSJ5s
why does this player start off with raidian in his team?

[slate hull]

that is the special squad, it comes with Raidian

[fallow hawk]

Oh snap. Whats the unlock conditions?

[slate hull]

I think that is one of the ones you get from the start

[sick mason]

E2 your own Raidian

How to do that? Just complete any ending in difficulty 2

[fallow hawk]

In the video his isn’t e2

[slate hull]

oh, I guess you only get the reserve ops at the start and then it gets upgraded when you get Raidian

[sick mason]

Sighs the Raidian from special squad is a temp Raidian that starts with E1 80

[fallow hawk]

Oh okok

Thanks

[sick mason]

If u want to have that privilege as well, E2 your own Raidian

[fallow hawk]

Ah

Gotcha

Thank you

I’m so bad at is

I keep making bad choices

And then wipes my runs

[sick mason]

It's kinda normal for newbies

[fallow hawk]

I’m not a newbie I think

But I rarely do is content

[sick mason]

How long you played AK?

[fallow hawk]

Long enough to 120 3 accounts from level 1 haha

I have the Amiya skin for all three accounts

[sick mason]

Scary

[cedar ivy]

In most previous is, you just need a strong op to take down most maps and the bonus chests.

In is5 there's a dedicated niche from crystal farmers.

But is6 you need a whole keyring of specialized ops for one map or another

But radian+exu alter covers like 60-70% of them

[sick mason]

IS5 is just an ez relic farming bonanza

IS6 is like you go use Raidian or fail

[fallow hawk]

Is it too late for me to obtain all the medals?

I want to try to collect all the medals

[cedar ivy]

I dont think is6 is timegated on medals?

[feral scroll]

how does the coin that give 2sp on damage but -1 spp/s work? does it make normal recovery became on hit and on hit to constantly lose sp?

[sick mason]

Gosh I have to beat ed3 in these 2 diffs for module lvl 2 and 3? Man...

[sick mason]

Treat it like offensive recovery

Your ops won't be able to produce SP at all unless they attack

[vagrant burrow]

you can just beat it once at d10+ and it’ll unlock mod2 and mod3

[cedar ivy]

Offensive recovery, no normal regen unless you have relocs

[feral scroll]

but what about skills that already have offensive recovery? do they constantly lose sp?

[sick mason]

No they still the same

[cedar ivy]

No

[sick mason]

That tongbao only affects ops with auto recovery

[cedar ivy]

Sp/sec is a terminology used only for auto recov

[feral scroll]

oh really, somehow i completly missed that

[cedar ivy]

They specifically use a different phrase for gaining sp every x seconds

[sick mason]

If offensive recovery ops lose SP whenever they attack, Mon3tr/Archetto would be totally useless in this IS

[cedar ivy]

Im done woth diff9, but im going back to unlock collectibles before tackling 10

Need plate of forks

[sick mason]

But tbf, Mon3tr herself isn't that valuable in IS6 because of talismans can fuck her up

[feral scroll]

i mean they would generate alot more while attacking so i thought with aspd it would be good

[cedar ivy]

And revolver cylinder

[sick mason]

Compared to when bringing her as a pet by Kal'tsit

[cedar ivy]

Monster s2 still good

[sick mason]

Plus Kal'tsit has IS module so gud for her too

[cedar ivy]

I found kal s2 really useful from how many damn times aoe comes in handy

[sick mason]

The old hag never disappoints

[cedar ivy]

true damage isn't worth much here

Except that insane tongbao

True damage per sec permanent is not for the faint of heart

[sick mason]

Unless if you met these guys ofc

Especially that fucking cement truck

[cedar ivy]

Id rather chip away with radian lasers

[sick mason]

Still... "takes greatly reduced physical and arts dmg*

And not to mention the cement truck can give -1 block

[compact gorge]

It doesn't work on medics right?

[cedar ivy]

Yeah medics are screwed

I learned that the hard way

[sick mason]

Well that sucks

[meager pier]

which raidian skill is best for is6 ending2?

[sick mason]

S2

[cedar ivy]

S2

Free bait

Actually.

[compact gorge]

I always see risk coins with extra suspicion

[cedar ivy]

S2 for all 3 endings

[compact gorge]

S3 pretty good for end 1 tho

[cedar ivy]

I tried s3 for ending 1

Its torture

He has a ton of res

[compact gorge]

Kek

[sick mason]

U can also just try to tank Yi a bit with Raidian S1

[cedar ivy]

Im just sitting there waiting for phase 1 to end

[severe oasis]

i like s1 for ed1

[cedar ivy]

S1 is good yeah

[winged kraken]

How does the Pathfinder battle work, can you use your whole squad

[steel relic]

Yes but your deployment limit is lowered

[main bison]

this the Ling encounter?

[sinful sparrow]

no

the ling encouter is from a downtime node

not this shit

[winged kraken]

How many ops can you promote if you win the battle

[sinful sparrow]

1 on f2-f3

2 on f4-6

[main bison]

thanks

[rapid pulsar]

You get the same rewards as a regular battle

[main bison]

this is tempting, I was going to get Leizi

[sick mason]

Take him fr

[raven obsidian]

leizi is right

[main bison]

I found ending 3...

I was aiming for ending 2

and I picked up the free Ulpianus

[agile spruce]

for coins that have when added to coffer does x, does that include when added to coffer after toss or only after obtaining it

[raven obsidian]

only after obtaining it

This effect only applies once; afterwards, it will be treated as a regular coin when you toss it

[agile spruce]

rip

[jovial whale]

Got to floor 6 for the first time in is6 and game crashed as soon as I entered the stage run gone gg

[sick mason]

I feel like the most unfair jump between one difficulty in IS6 is D3 to D4

Because enemies +40% HP is insane

[jovial whale]

Anybody have recommendations for which starting teams/squads are good for ending 3?

[sick mason]

You're on a mission to upgrade Raidian's modules?

[jovial whale]

yeahh

i did take a look at the website but im not sure what they mean - how do you start with those ops if they all cost so much?

[sick mason]

Just take one of them

[nocturne cape]

It means pick from one of them

[sick mason]

You can't start a run with 3 damn 6*

[jovial whale]

ahhhhh yeah thats why i was confused LMAO

[nocturne cape]

Thats what the “/“ are for

[jovial whale]

im dumb

[cedar ivy]

If you want to gamble, get the money squad and pray for chalice tongbao

That way you get 6star and radian start too

[neat pike]

Atp i'd rather do sui and wang boss rather fighting yi

Mf gimmick so ass

[raven obsidian]

Once you've experienced the free Radian provided by the logistics team, you'll understand why she's called "Mom."

[sick mason]

Yi still got more hands than the fraudemont

[raven obsidian]

Radian is really op

[cedar ivy]

Logistics squad is not good for ed3 tho

Its great for unlocking e2 radian

[jovial whale]

which one is the chalice one? im horrible with names LOL

[vapid fog]

FIIINALLYYYY IT'S DOOONE

SCREW THE DRAGON LEG

(Now i just have to do it two more times, with other squads)

[sinful sparrow]

@halcyon flame @nocturne cape i finally finished climbing

bruh
took more than a week

[sick mason]

Scary

It's only been 9 days since IS6 released

[main bison]

which one?

[raven obsidian]

drum

[cedar ivy]

Stove alight
Flower tongbao

[sick mason]

I prefer the right one

[raven obsidian]

The conditions for the bell to activate are too strict.

[sick mason]

I don't like pathfinder combats

[main bison]

bell it is

[cedar ivy]

40% attack is actually not worth a pathfinder combat.

I think lei fa punishment os worth it tho

[main bison]

this one decent?

already activated ending 2

[cedar ivy]

Its 9 originium, sure

[sick mason]

Alright u can just grab it

[cedar ivy]

But if only that gave a candle op

[halcyon flame]

[raven obsidian]

If you're lucky enough, you can get at least 5 e2 operators + Pathfinder.

Toss this coin and fight bravely！

[flint token]

Fuck at this rate imma beat d15 before maxing my raidian

[sick mason]

U can't beat ed3 at d10?

[agile spruce]

what do options 1 and 2 do

[agile hill]

oh yeah guys, for ed 3 what happens if you can't get the cars killed. also is leizi better than mlynar just for that?

[sinful sparrow]

1 is gopnik combat
2 is the same combat but emergency

[raven obsidian]

The difference lies in the fact that the second item is an emergency operation, which is more difficult but offers better rewards.

[flint token]

My ass cant find the fucking leg encounter 💔

[agile spruce]

what does ed3 stand for

[sick mason]

Ending 3

[flint token]

Ending 3

[sick mason]

Isn't the leg encounter is ed2?

[agile spruce]

is there way to check which endings you've done already?

[agile hill]

is leizi better than mlynar mainly for ed 3 car?

[flint token]

Yeah, beating it with 3 different squads mission is kinda fucking me up

[sick mason]

She's veeeery slightly better just because she's a Yan operator

Otherwise, Mlynar is still more consistent in damage

And NOT restricted by maps design

[sick mason]

Dude that's scary

[flint token]

Leizi also has talisman immunity so there’s that

[cedar ivy]

Talisman immunity is pretty big

[sick mason]

Considering she's airborne while not activating skill

[flint token]

Well mlynar does get rid of talisman himself too so there’s that

though it’s a fair bit slower than leizi’s instakill

[sick mason]

Leizi gets airborne to avoid being damaged
Mlynar stays on the ground, has high aggro and reflects true dmg

Truly 2 very different ops

[main bison]

who do I get?

ed2

[sick mason]

Yato alter

[main bison]

oh I didn't think to do that

I grabbed Mizuki

what about this one?

[flint token]

Feranmut top option

[main bison]

Melee Operators shall -

Option 1: All melee Operators have +35% ATK and HP.
Option 2: All melee Operators have +3 DP cost, +1 block, +50% DEF.
Option 3: All melee Operators recover 5% Max HP per second, starting 20 seconds after deployment.?

[sick mason]

It's kinda better if u just... feranmut

But whatever

[main bison]

what about the Candleguest one?

Candleguests shalls - (Only available via Legend Node in Sui's Remnant Consciousness)

Option 1: All Candleguests gain +50% ATK and DEF.
Option 2: All Operators have +3 DP cost. For each Candleguests in the squad, all Candleguests gain +10% ATK, DEF and HP.
Option 3: Candleguests gain +100% ATK for 10 seconds after deployment. Whenever an Operator become a Candleguests via the combat option, the effect duration increases by 5 seconds (stacking up to 15 times).

[sick mason]

Yes that one

Option 1 no doubt

Option 2 is very ass

[main bison]

3?

or just 1?

[sick mason]

Option 3... no unless if u want to spam fast redeploy candlebearers

Option 1 more stable

[agile hill]

oh yeah guys, is leizi good for ending 2

[slate hull]

decent if you can avoid getting her squished

[hybrid pewter]

Anybody know how to do this? I dunno what's yan blessing

[agile hill]

i mean isn't she better than mlynar at ed 2

[hybrid pewter]

Alsowhat is the combat stage in candle battle is that just whoever in the mid get promoted?

[agile spruce]

breh game crashed mid emergency ops

[sick mason]

His S3

[hybrid pewter]

So 2 are good with risk coin 99 and some vanguard?

[hybrid pewter]

@sick mason oh no wonder i kept not getting guard voucher lol

[main bison]

oh this seems OP

this paid off

[agile spruce]

the run was going so well then it just poofed

[feral scroll]

do we alreay know how this works?

[hybrid pewter]

If i were to guess in the candle thingy where discounted recruit it has combat and tbh im not sure how the combat works tho

[sick mason]

Only worked when you promote an operator to become candlebearer in pathfinder nodes

[agile spruce]

in pathfinder there's a recruit by combat option, as long as the op on the lotus remains alive until the end it gets promoted

[hybrid pewter]

All ik u put the op in middle and hope when getting struck by lightning didn't die but haven't test because mune dirs

[agile spruce]

mine never got struck by lightning pretty sure lightning is a separate thing, which is the coin

[nova pasture]

Which one is better?

[hybrid pewter]

Does kt promote everyone or just the one on middle?

[agile spruce]

just the one on the lotus

[hybrid pewter]

Left

[agile spruce]

in the middle

[hybrid pewter]

Yeah that make sense

[hybrid pewter]

The right one is only better if u do the combat. But left generally better if u have risk coin

Or gonna try to get atleast since there's few risk coin that are very worth the risk

Hehe pun was not intended but not regreted

[gaunt bay]

Drum easily

[agile hill]

guys is sakiko insane

[sick mason]

The ultimate Thorns powercreep

[agile hill]

i thought she deals enough dps to rival liberators?

[floral plaza]

Everything is a thorn powercreep

Even Tragedy somehow powercreep thorn

:kappa:

[agile hill]

does anyone knows how to kill the cannons when your yato can't kill

in ed 3

[gaunt bay]

ST dps

:lappphone:

Also shit cycles

[agile hill]

is it really st dps?

also whats the damage if you just get stuff to tank all its pellets

[main bison]

I thought E2 + Promotion=Candleguest

that not the case?

[gaunt bay]

If ur spreading the damage across multiple target then its nowhere close to liberators

[verbal pumice]

Hii what are the recommended starting teams besides Radian?

[main bison]

got a free E2 Lumen, and can't candle him with Medic Recruit

[main bison]

check pins, but you can start with Tragodia and/or Exu 2

[gaunt bay]

Exu is good

[verbal pumice]

Tyyy

[agile hill]

is all of is6 ranged tile none solid

like mizuki is able to drag

[feral scroll]

in the others, isnt this a permanent thing? why does it say that it resets after 5 days?

[prime mountain]

They become permanent once the IS ends

so in like 8 months or so

[main bison]

ending 2

am I missing anything?

thinking like I did last night, leak the entire left side

[main bison]

for ed2 he can

[ivory gull]

So talking 'best practice', i just started a run and my starters are tragodia, windscoot, and purestream. i got a specialist voucher in the first battle node, and normally i'd keep the voucher and use pathfinder to claim exualter. i get thrown a curveball and i'm offered a 0 hope non-candled ascalon.

normally, should i grab 0-hope 6-star units like this when offered or stick to gameplan of waiting for pathfinder exualter?

[frigid cargo]

Most busted run

53 relics 4 flower, 4 Candleguest battle

Ending 3 no diff

[jovial whale]

Is mission progress tracked even when the mission isn't unlocked yet? e.g. for these missions if I clear ending 3 on diff 10, will both of these unlock at once or would i still have to do two runs?

[frigid cargo]

Yes

One run only

If you can on 10+

[jovial whale]

pog ty

[cedar ivy]

Yes, its possible to unlock skill mastery 3 before 2

[gaunt bay]

feels like the most common question asked recently

[main bison]

incredibily easy, I could have used Wisadel probably for most of the left side

[placid shuttle]

Is a node supposed to be available randomly like this?

[frigid cargo]

I feel like the guide on saving candle is a bit wrong, going in and out of the wonderland a lot of times net you more coin toss

[frigid cargo]

Yes

[placid shuttle]

Is it just based off random chance?

[frigid cargo]

Yes

[placid shuttle]

Cool thank you

[jovial whale]

I think it's one of the upgrades in the skill tree thing?

[frigid cargo]

No

It doesn't affect it

It's pure rng

Pray you don't get blocked by 3 doubts

[raw cypress]

How you guys getting the end3 of is6

Im kinda confused

[slate hull]

yeah, it is one of Raidian's traits

[fiery plover]

This run is probably over.

[frigid cargo]

Oh

I thought it was the node generation

My mistake

Anyway

[turbid yoke]

🤯

[floral plaza]

Low attack

Not even 6 digits

[lusty quest]

Any tips for joklumarkar IS? This is my first rodeo on IS (my acc is level 60)

I want the Joklumarkar Theme, so i need level up fast

[low vortex]

Believe it or not, Exu2 will carry

Farm D10 and learn the stages well

IS4 Is a skill check

If you leak you get punished hard

[lusty quest]

Whats is D10 stand for?

[agile hill]

guys, is e2 radian guaranteed from special squad

[low vortex]

Difficulty 10

In IS4 the “Braving Nature” number

[agile hill]

is that bad because it cost one hope

[lusty quest]

Owh i am still achive D1

[low vortex]

Yeah you’ll climb

[frigid cargo]

Back in the day Reed alter is also a stable opener

[low vortex]

If you don’t own Exu2, borrow a max pot one if you can find

[frigid cargo]

A must have for is4

[low vortex]

Expired operator

[lusty quest]

Owh i have, Yeah Exu carry me the first time i enter IS (better than Wisadel idk why)

[low vortex]

Degen still works a bit smoother but also expired operator

You say that as if you’re under the impression that Wisadel is better

(She’s not)

[lusty quest]

Any must have operator for smoother late game IS4 run? I dont have Ceobe unfortenaly, my acc is 2 months progress

[low vortex]

Wisadel is better for already relatively easy content

Uh I mean late game IS4 meta is up in the air because of all the new operaotors

[lusty quest]

Yeah i’ve got the influenced people say she is better, but Exu2 my comfort opening character

[low vortex]

ceobe isn’t a must have when Lemuen and stuff exists

Exu2 has a smooth F1/F2 even at just E1 unlike Wisadel in many places who will leak some maps at E1

Exu2 E1 is batshit strong

[lusty quest]

Owh really? Maybe i’ve got a problem to tanking attack. My Spot on F3 already become squishy

[halcyon flame]

Are you on the flying machine

[low vortex]

Not yet twin

A few more hours hopefully.

[halcyon flame]

Bro I’m still in the mines twin

Encounter hunting

[frigid cargo]

Most high diff is we don't tank

[lusty quest]

On progress leveling Hoshiguma (good unit?)

[low vortex]

[halcyon flame]

Gonna write home in a boxed letter

[frigid cargo]

Just kill as fast as possiblr

[lusty quest]

Wohh stalling?

[low vortex]

Uh hoshi1? not really

She doesn’t compete in any remotely hard content

[lusty quest]

Yeah i only have her and sankta as 6 star tank

[low vortex]

You don’t need tanks

[frigid cargo]

Tank is just for bait usually

[low vortex]

Tanks don’t win stages

At high difficulty stuff the strongest of tanks can get one shot

[lusty quest]

Ahhh so thats the problem, i though endgame tank is important in late game

[frigid cargo]

And gravel works fine with 0 hope

[low vortex]

Not really, even if not one shot, it’s two shot and then it’s just a bit waste of time squadsize on top of other resources

[lusty quest]

So just a temprorary lane holder for stall a bit?

[halcyon flame]

Hoshi alter and Shu are seen because they have mechanics that go beyond normal tanking

IE teleport and damage

[lusty quest]

So upgrade ATK stat instead of HP

Ahhh okok, yeah i want to pull HoshiAlt, i like her immortality skill

[gaunt bay]

you tank ranged hits cuz you really dont have a choice

you try to avoid tanking melee as much as possible

[lusty quest]

Alright got it

[gaunt bay]

even then you try to outrange whenever possible

[proven dagger]

oh the chest on this stage kills itself

[sinful sparrow]

good morning pregnant male

[low vortex]

gm mika

[shrewd pier]

finally got mod 3 on raidian

just need some exp to get her to 90, and then shes maxed

[cedar ivy]

The lotus drinking encounter lmao

[agile hill]

guys whats with cn saying spec cast has higher limit than special squad, is it just really subtle

[main bison]

how do I do this?

well, that went well

[vocal eagle]

typical clarity experience

[ivory badge]

does this mean vouchers after battle?

[hybrid pewter]

I guess the answer is u don't xD

[hybrid pewter]

No promotion from the candle battle

[low vortex]

Candle battle in pathfinder node or LaFei Punishment coin

(9 lightning strikes)

[hybrid pewter]

In candle battle u put character u want to promotr in middle that one will get struck by lightning and u need to help defend it

[flint token]

Wow ok emer unlit spark is actually annoying as fuck

waiter waiter more invis slop

[main bison]

even this is going great

everyone literally dies as soon as they're deployed

how TF does anyone do ed3?

[nocturne cape]

By bringing healers

But yeah

[fiery plover]

I have this team for ending 3, but only 1 life point

[nocturne cape]

Medic Amiya with mod can keep your ops alive just by clicking S2

So thats good at least

[main bison]

yeah, healers don't matter when you're 1 shot
Yi's hand comes up and ops just fall over

[agile hill]

@nocturne cape should you go to one leisure twice?

[nocturne cape]

depends on how your run goes

[flint token]

you permastall yi near red box

if you cant er pray ig

max hp check moment wcyd

[agile hill]

i mean is there punishment for taking same leisure

like you took the cheap deal already

[flint token]

i mean the punishment is you're entering the leisure again and wasting a candle

but aside from that not really

[nocturne cape]

What does that mean

What is a cheap deal

[agile hill]

like the gamble gets more expensive

[nocturne cape]

It resets

[flint token]

the gamble resets

though the only leisure you want to enter many time is ling's and that requires heavy investment and lots of luck

[main bison]

well, I've done Yi on normal quite a bit, but with both ed3 relics, that sucked

[agile hill]

guys, is the high upper limit of spec cast just get more effective specialist vouncher

[main bison]

I was actually aiming for ending 2, but didn't realize I could come back to it when I didn't have the ingots

[flint token]

drag what are you even trying to say

[agile hill]

like cn people say spec cast squadd has higher upper limit, but i don't feel a thing

[flint token]

er idk either cuz i dont have the speccast royal flush

but it's better the more spec vouchers you get ig

cuz spec has a lot of good picks

compared to caster which is giga ass

FUCK i need a combat fast or im not getting ed2

[agile hill]

yes i mean if we are talking about upper limit, how does saving a few specialist vouncher help that much

[paper notch]

no turmoils?

[flint token]

fuck is a turmoil

[flint token]

i mean speccast squad wants a lot of 6 stars specialist

like you draft 4-5 goobers per run

[paper notch]

bosky combats

[flint token]

so that's 9 specialist vouchers

so ofc you want a lot of vouchers

[flint token]

oh i just got one

thank gods

[agile hill]

guys is radian e2 guaranteed for special

[burnt lantern]

Yes, not only E2, but maxed everything. But you can only access it once you E2 your own raidian

[urban isle]

floor 3

how many candle again?

i forgot

[flint token]

er isnt it random every time? but it was 3 during my run so maybe that

[urban isle]

floor 1 none
floor 2 is 5
floor 3 is 3

floor 4 is 5

[flint token]

[flint token]

[urban isle]

[flint token]

this one is easy just deploy gummy and stall the stage forever

caster is fucked up but bearable with a van ig

[wraith warren]

[urban isle]

[stray dove]

LMAO I didn't do the emer version, just the normal version

some flaws in coding but this is welcomed

[serene stirrup]

Are you kidding me bro 💀 💀

[stray dove]

[flint token]

I LOVE DRUM

[stray dove]

Metal is almost always amazing

[flint token]

DRUM MY FUCKING GOAT

[serene stirrup]

oh wait

nvm I was blind

anyways my first time maxing this

[formal ruin]

Does special squad raidian get her proficiency buffs?
Her expert fighter 1 buff doesn't seem to be working for me after entering the next floor, even when promoting in first floor.

[hardy radish]

in IS5 how to clear Heretics

[serene stirrup]

based

[pearl oyster]

How many ops are Yannese?

[real mango]

Handy-dandy key visual

Apparently all these count as Yan operators

[pastel saffron]

omg

even tomimi.dev doesn't list this many

wth

[pastel saffron]

how are penguin logistics yan

[real mango]

Probably their base of operations

Idk it's wack

Either that or their courier business has given them connections to Yan

[remote badger]

penguin is in lungmen but lungmen is also in yan

[real mango]

That also why the Lungmen ops are here

[remote badger]

logically

penguin is in yan

[urban isle]

I forgot this map

[serene stirrup]

penguin logistics is located in Lungmen

the

[pastel saffron]

there are guys at bottom left and bottom right

you can start with the middle now and slowly try to deal with bottom

[pastel saffron]

yes

Astesia so based

[real mango]

That one's a freebie

You can bet he's never using her

[oak birch]

my last fucking chance... and it's this, that's nice

[pastel saffron]

wgen I was finally prepped for this stage and the gale introduced dp stopper enemy

[stray dove]

the very reason i make sure I get Gummy/Shu candled

they can stall that truck permanently

[oak birch]

whatever i'm done, i LOVE LOVE the end2 encounter

my day be so fine then boom

[serene stirrup]

Why we cannot rob Ji's shop

smh!

[jagged field]

Is there unit tier list for is6

[serene stirrup]

exu and trag on top

[real mango]

Raidian is also pretty high up there

[main bison]

no ending 2 node

I'm not happy

[tulip star]

what -1 hope gives me?

btw most broken start I ever seen in my runs
boost for tragodia and radian from the very first floor

[serene stirrup]

enters emergency version

with a extra bear

[tulip star]

lets go

[serene stirrup]

the normal version features only rat I think

[serene stirrup]

apparently the farther legend node is the higher chance for ed2 encounter

[tulip star]

theres chance I will not get en2 item if I choose "send her back"? whats the options will be there?

[agile hill]

is having either drum or stir fry like standard for is6?

[spring olive]

if ur chasing ED2 u always gonna have 30 ingots saved up to guarantee the ending collectible, otherwise if u arent u can choose the two options below the top one

the middle one requires luck, but since u alrd have 30+ ingots u can just guarantee the item immediately

if ur not chasing ED2 then just pick bottom option

[tulip star]

I've choosed second option once and I still have to play 30 ingots for relic

[spring olive]

ye cuz that one depends on luck

why didnt u just pick the top option

[tulip star]

just curious

[errant siren]

You will completety cancel End2, if you pick most bottom option.

[tulip star]

what can possibly happened if I choose second

[errant siren]

Coin Gacha

[spring olive]

u have 75 ingots and shop in IS6 is meh anyway (you always rob in early since u cant guarantee shop late game)

[tulip star]

but I still be able en2 when I choosed second last time

[agile hill]

if you have no attack buff like drum, stir fry, coin, are you kind of screwed on boss?

[tulip star]

so I just got lucky?

[errant siren]

MOST BOTTOM.

[tulip star]

oh

[errant siren]

Which is third.

[tulip star]

ye I dont third

[spring olive]

btw guys who should I E2 first for ED2 in this spec list

I have 2 vouchers to insta E2

[tulip star]

ela

imho

[errant siren]

You can do that, yea.

[spring olive]

do what?

[spring olive]

mmmm nahh

[errant siren]

Ascalon.

[spring olive]

oh lol u didnt say

i was like tf is this guy talkin about

[tulip star]

u wanna push down arm HP asap so i'd take ela or yato

[last hull]

This is my overall lineup. I'm finally at the Yi stage. What should be my strategy here? This has legit been my only run where I managed to get both Tragodia and wisadsl E2.

[errant siren]

I thought you're into her, if you clicked her.

So I read like "do I pick her"

[spring olive]

i mean fair enough i just click cuz idk

[errant siren]

[tulip star]

u can give up left lane by boosting shield with tavern

(thats what I alway do anyway)

[spring olive]

heres my current roster if that helps

[tulip star]

go for ela and burst Yi arm down in few steps

[last hull]

Tavern? I never managed to unlock it. And I'm right before the stage, so I can't go anywhere else but the stage now.

[tulip star]

oh... depends on ur coins tho

[last hull]

On the current floor? Lemme check.

[last hull]

2 blank coins and one risk coin which doubles all your stats including dp cost🥀

[tulip star]

how much HP u have?

shield included

[last hull]

12 HP, zero shield. I think I might be cooked.

[tulip star]

ye, u are

go for ascalon and hope for the best

[last hull]

Wym go for ascalon?

[tulip star]

take a note arm will aim the one allie with most ops nearby

ah shit ure diffrent person

nvm

sorry 2 lines messed in my mind

[winged kelp]

I hate this node so much

[spring olive]

you know what, ill pick ascalon ig

to save left lane

[last hull]

Looks like I am hardcooked. Nvm. For future reference, what ops should I have before coming to the Yi stage?

[jagged field]

Cool, can abuse that exu now

Raidian not built, maybe i cope support

[remote badger]

special squad:

[tulip star]

btw will support req Raidian be affected by ur own mission boosters or the one u hired from?

[sick mason]

If you borrow someone's Raidian, you get their levels and skills

The "boosters" are still your own

[tulip star]

thats shit

[sick mason]

So that we can't cheat our way out

[winged kelp]

It's simply not real. Ffs

[sick mason]

It's not shit. If someone can't accept it, they just have skill issue

[naive mulch]

Are there any good omnibus guides on IS3? Starting to hit a few points of difficulty getting into surging waves 4

[spring olive]

can this squad take on ED2? or should I change someone for Purestream since she's the only healer I have

[real mango]

Mad disappointed if you fail it

[winged kelp]

Tragodia literally disable the boss entirely eh. It's funny as hell

[spring olive]

so is it a yes or no

[real mango]

Yes

Texas can probably be replaced tho

With your healer

[winged kelp]

It's very "brave" to not bringing healer on Ed 2

[spring olive]

debating if i should take out degen for Purestream

[winged kelp]

But you can commit parry with Degenbrecher though. Do the funi

[spring olive]

i kid you not, the entirety of this run I got 1 MEDIC VOUCHER out of everything else

and just to be save i upgraded purestream to E2

so ye that checks out p. much

[winged kelp]

But bringing half asses healer could be useless too because boss hit insanely hard in like one second

[spring olive]

dw this is Diff 7

[winged kelp]

You cooked

[spring olive]

actually should i try no healer 😭

is this perhaps aura?

[winged kelp]

how many Lifepoint do you have?

[spring olive]

22 LP and 23 Shields

(lowk this might be too overkill but u could never know)

[winged kelp]

But im genuinely curious on how Degen probably can Parry the three stomp. Not 100% sure though, because in some case it really doesn't work

[spring olive]

wym parry

[winged kelp]

You activate the S3 during the stomp move

[spring olive]

is that like S3 I-frame yiming

[winged kelp]

She is supposedly invulnerable during S3

[spring olive]

haha i knew it

i was like tf is this guy talkin about

so like S3 to dodge the stomping

[winged kelp]

Idk what term more suited to that move lmao. I just said parry

Try dodge it

[spring olive]

ok imma attend the run in a nit

bit

havent started it yet cuz me scared

[woven wagon]

Doesn’t stomp force retreat? Not sure that is a dodgeable thing

[winged kelp]

It's just diff 7 though. With some insane relic and that much HP it's probably cakewalk

[spring olive]

is first time im trying ED2

[woven wagon]

Even if you activate s3 degen still needs to be standing somewhere, which is unavailable when foot is there

[winged kelp]

Yea.. still high chance you will be cooked.

[tulip star]

how much enemies come from most left tile? during the whole fight?

[winged kelp]

It's not about the first stomp nor the half boss hp stomp. But the subsequent three stomp

[woven wagon]

I recall someone saying 18

Oh those stomps

Degen can probably handle it without dodging

[errant siren]

Prepare 18 HP at least.

[gaunt bay]

[nocturne cape]

Ok but my anonymous friend told me crownslayer is great

[remote badger]

[main bison]

uh, I'm about to do ed2 without a VG

[nocturne cape]

Thats actually not a huge problem

[tulip star]

thats okey

[nocturne cape]

Ed2 is quite slow in terms of DP usage until the very late game

[main bison]
