is-station

[paper kayak]

actual new players dont have a roster of e1 max 4 stars for a bit and are at the complete mercy of tag rng. i was there earlier this year. personally i think while IS is doable for truly new players its not a great experience until you're at least able to have something for every voucher

like a 6-star and 3/4 star for each

granted doesnt take super long to get that if its your goal

[sick mason]

Just E2 a 4*

[remote cradle]

IS 2 > IS 5 > IS 4 > IS 6 > IS 3

Hmmm... I think this is the difficulty ranking of IS. I still believe IS3 is hardest. Is this correct? What u guys think?

[halcyon flame]

You can borrow raidian and exu start. There is nothing else necessary since 3 stars are still usable

[cold fjord]

yeah but you can borrow and win

[sick mason]

IS4 is the hardest

[lusty quest]

Yeah cause i dont wanna miss if there is a special event IS 6 that can give some extra something, but if it doesnt. I just wanna play Is Joklumarkar one

[sick mason]

IS3 is the worst

[halcyon flame]

Sure ur yan options might suck but that’s whatever

[cold fjord]

ofc its not comfy

[nocturne cape]

a completely new account can still reach D15 with enough game knowledge

[cold fjord]

but you can still play

[nocturne cape]

(and friend to borrow supports from)

[sick mason]

IS4? That's hard as heck 💀

[remote cradle]

4? Is that the hardest ending3 on d15? I still think jellyfish mizuki on IS3 is hardest. But d15 IS3 is miserable.

[sick mason]

IS3 below D16 is shit anyway

Hardest doesn't mean the worst

[lusty quest]

Hmmm idk i already lvl 20? I ve been playing 2 day

[paper kayak]

if you're worried about limited-time the only thing that's ACTUALLY limited-time, for now, is the monthly squad with the free zuo le. the mission is just to use his s3 three times

they release old monthly squads later tho

[quick pond]

Finally Got my First D12 Ending, 65 more to go

[lusty quest]

And then i see IS 6, and wondering should i go for IS 6 first?

[remote cradle]

So where does IS 6 sits in terms of difficulty?

[cold fjord]

no

start with is2

starting with the is with the latest qol and going back to piss qol IS is a bad experience

[halcyon flame]

if you can actually think about what you really need from vouchers. 4-5 of the classes don’t even require a 6 star

[remote cradle]

Eh, d12 for shiny medals on squad? That's the shiniest medal?!

[lusty quest]

Even i play IS just for the Joklumarkar theme actually hahaha, thats the reason

[sick mason]

IS2 is the easiest definitely

[halcyon flame]

Vanguard, medic, caster, defender and sniper legit don’t require 6 stars to play the game

In IS6

[remote cradle]

but but, why do I keep dying

[lusty quest]

Ahhh if you take that in to account, ok maybe ill try IS6 too, So IS 4 and then IS 6 back and fourth

[sick mason]

Try IS5 bruh

[paper kayak]

you can give the monthly squads of each a shot

they all give extremely valuable resources for new accounts

[remote cradle]

Which IS has the most complicated mechanic?

[lusty quest]

Yeup got it, so yeah thanks, now i know i must play for the limited time reward

[cold fjord]

ig 3

[sick mason]

IS3

Completely trash

[cold fjord]

since people are not understanding rejections to this day

[remote cradle]

Eh? The d20 dice? That's seems straightforward though.

[paper kayak]

only the is6 one is time limited at all
all of the old monthly squads are always up because the modes are old and done updating

[halcyon flame]

By metric of play IS3 is the most micro intensive IS

[orchid hamlet]

Is there a fucking mistranslation or something here?
It says every new floor.

But even though I'm already on floor 2 and 2nd bosky, her summons still take up dp slots.

[lusty quest]

Its time limited until HoshiAlt?

[halcyon flame]

Because push pull shenanigans will do that

[remote cradle]

Well yeah, rng dice is trash, all rejection bad except one hahaha

[halcyon flame]

It’s in sequence

[paper kayak]

until end of the month

it's just using zuo le skill 3 10 times with the free one they give you

[sinful sparrow]

@nocturne cape thanks for the frame advance guide thing

i managed to block ed2 feet

[sick mason]

Don't just focus on the die, focus on the "light" too

[sinful sparrow]

:RosHype:

[nocturne cape]

teehee

nice

[sick mason]

Your ass getting destroyed by rejections in IS3 below D16

[nocturne cape]

that was not really a guide

[remote cradle]

Ah fk, u right, that piece of sht IS3, I wonder who design that light mechanic, it's complete bs honestly

[halcyon flame]

Blocking the feet delays the dmg by a few frames doesn’t it

[orchid hamlet]

So no dp slots is for f4?

Well that sucks ass

[sick mason]

I feel like the light isn't the worst thing in IS3

The die is

[remote cradle]

Idk, I'm still traumatized playing d15 runs on IS3

[lusty quest]

WAIT its almost the end of the month, thank gosh i ask you guys

[sick mason]

Because when u roll it, you either feel lucky or your precious dps get slapped by R E J E C T I O N S

[remote cradle]

Eh, not rly a problem if u miss it, just wait 12 more months kekw

[paper kayak]

if you miss it, it's not gone forever, but it wouldn't be available again for like a year when they all unlock
the old ISs have all of the monthly challenges up perma

[lusty quest]

[remote cradle]

I think they made the rejections target your carry unit

[lusty quest]

Btw, on IS 4 i always got the ending fast, like after 3rd floor its always finish. I only got once that countinued to floor 4, how?

[sick mason]

The third floor is just a small boss -_-

[lusty quest]

Idk even know what is ED 1 2 3 4 and etc

[quick pond]

Yeah, I kinda expected it to glow red like the Guiding Tour Rankings TBH, well at least I don't gotta grind on D15/18 anytime soon lol

[remote cradle]

3rd floor? Ending? U mean failing the run and die, so ur run ended early?

[turbid yoke]

Do you guys still use special squad in high diff or there are even better ones later on

[sick mason]

The real boss is always in floor 5 or 6

[lusty quest]

Idk the big bloop that shoot ice on the last deploy

[sick mason]

Yes I still use it

Starting with 2 6* felt great

[lusty quest]

No no i defeat it and the credit scene pop up

[paper kayak]

that's floor 5. that's the last boss lol

[lusty quest]

Am i on wrong floor?

[quick pond]

Yeah, Free maxxed Radian is great

[sick mason]

Bro are u deluded?

[paper kayak]

if you thought that was floor 3 your floor 4 was probably accidentally going into ed3 or (somehow) ed4

[lusty quest]

Man…. IS making me lost my shit

So yeah i always got the ed where typhoon standing

[stray dove]

This means Wang's pieces can permastun if the piece/s are cornering the operator?

[sick mason]

Yes if all 4 pieces around you

[paper kayak]

what you saw was ed1 which is just the default ending you get for reaching the end of floor 5

[sick mason]

All 4 black balls lul

[stray dove]

oh cardinal?

or does an x count?

[sick mason]

Cardinal

[stray dove]

gotcha

and less cardinal if the tile is a corner?

[lusty quest]

Ahhhh okok Is there any like other ending? People said “ending” this and that, like is there are other cutscene?

[sick mason]

Well ye

I mean only 1 or 2 balls can't permastun u

[paper kayak]

yeah if you meet certain conditions you get different bosses and ending cutscenes

[stray dove]

so these 2 are technically useless?

[jade wasp]

there is only 1 ending and it is winning trust

[sick mason]

Yes avoid deploying ANYONE there

Until you destroy those balls

[jade wasp]

kill the balls

[sick mason]

You can deploy Wisadel on the tile beside that 140

[stray dove]

yeah i'm not gonna describe it as balls.
Kristen has balls.
Wang has weiqi pieces

but yeah good enough description for newbies

now i'm getting the idea why you want multiranged ops solving being cornered by pieces

[quick pond]

Any Tips for E2D12?

[lusty quest]

Alright thanks

[sick mason]

I feel amazing

[stray dove]

question

does the pre-req Wang fight immediately go to the fight the moment you do the 1st option of the Weiqi doubt node?

[sick mason]

Nope

The fight is in pathfinder node

[arctic panther]

oh you poor poor soul

[stray dove]

does it spawn unnaturally or do you have to go to a natural Pathfinder node

[sick mason]

What? This is my first time beating D9 + ed3 bruh

[arctic panther]

you could’ve done it on d10 and saved yourself the extra trauma

[sick mason]

And upgraded my Raidian module

[sinful sparrow]

its a natural pf node

[stray dove]

gotcha

and once you win that node, F6 + Wang unlocked?

[sick mason]

Ye

[stray dove]

I'm doing my first Ed3 run on D12 just because I might unlock some stuff i need for complete index

[pastel saffron]

Yall did Medicmiya mod? if so what level????

[sick mason]

That means you're yet to upgrade Raidian's module?

Dang

[stray dove]

Yeah stuck at Mod1

which is just stats

i did it purely to finish up Cannot store req

so i can technically rob more from him in F1

[stray dove]

I only did Mod1 and it's purely out of lore

I only mod3 if it's technically too good to pass up

or helps me in max diff IS

[paper kayak]

huge ed2 pull (I am not doing ed2)

[stray dove]

btw are there any unique shtick as to why Wang's pre-req fight is rough to clear? Just how to win it?
Can't just leak? Does it work like a Bosky fight?

[spring olive]

spanish herbalist jumpscare

[stray dove]

Can't wait for Rose Salt's skin

it's pretty good art

[paper kayak]

i

[spring olive]

for an operator whose talking sh*t is like second to breathing to them, it feels very unironic to have a gamer skin for her

[paper kayak]

[sick mason]

Damn lucky

[paper kayak]

i am playing on first-class squad. as a joke.

where are these on my normal runs

[spring olive]

desire sensor as usual

[stray dove]

....dang, Wang's ending relic is toxic. Debuff of making you have a heal check

1 min fog

[arctic panther]

you can leak you just have to leak 30 enemies

[stray dove]

ah that many

[pastel saffron]

it hates ranged ops, so ur forced to use ground

and even then u can have rough time without liberator

[stray dove]

I'm aiming for Wisadel for it

but since you can just technically take your time getting the prereq

you can do it as late as F5?

[arctic panther]

good luck with that

[pastel saffron]

yeah

[stray dove]

there's always a pathfinder node in F5, yeah?

[agile hill]

guys, why does a lot of things that rely on strong collectible draft sakiko over liberators(like collection in is5, and is6 dlc), like what makes she better than them under strong collectible. i heard liberator does much more damage than her?

[stray dove]

it feels like doing Ed3 routing early feels like shit

very shit

[arctic panther]

if theres a chance for it to not spawn that chance is really low

[stray dove]

noted

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/stainless-arknights-truth-nuke-arknights-gif-11635485722650107572

[pastel saffron]

I always get pathfinder at every floor after f1, even f6

[stray dove]

and if i do Wang's prereq in F5 Pathfinder, i still get to do Ed3 F6 route?

that's the plan then

Wang's debuff relic is ass

[arctic panther]

you have to do the pathfinder combat(not the promotion one) to do ed3

[stray dove]

i know

[sick mason]

Ye good luck with that

[stray dove]

it's a different option

from the usual, right?

[arctic panther]

its an extra option

[stray dove]

good

no confusion then

[arctic panther]

do you have a 6* liberator or ambusher

[paper kayak]

yeah wtf are is6 voucher rolls this is floor 1 pre shop rob

[stray dove]

I will need to take one

what's Wang piece stats?

[stray dove]

I got Mly. is Ethan enough or are the Wang pieces bulky?

or does it act like furniture?

[arctic panther]

at d15

[arctic panther]

mlynar alone works

you just need someone to open

[stray dove]

ok it feels like a jellyfish/colossi combo

low res but there's not exactly too many avenues for arts DPSing outside of the usual IS regulars

[agile hill]

can someone answer me why we sakiko is prefered over things like librator on good collectible?

at least it feels like it

[atomic fjord]

which ops melt sui

[stray dove]

her S3 is pretty decent with mod3

[paper notch]

sakiko's damage is based on attack scale and multi-hit. she has basically no +atk% and she scales really well with aspd since she is offensive recovery

[arctic panther]

the usual exu, wis, raidian on lower difficulties, possibly leizi if her 4 hits can hit sui at the same time

[stray dove]

what's used for max diff Ed2? Hoshi2? Lazer?

[paper notch]

compared to liberator like mlynar who has +400% atk on skill and lower attackscale/multihit

[stray dove]

yeah Liberators don't get much on ATK% buffs

compared to other classes with higher ATK base

[atomic fjord]

also doesnt sakiko also ignore 60% def and res

[stray dove]

on mod3

[agile hill]

oh but why is she prefered in collection(no lamp), or class squads do want her if the class is vanguard and guard, just not sniper medic or specialist caster

[atomic fjord]

yuh

[agile hill]

collection usually means no kings

[paper notch]

she's preferred when you plan on having a good run

[stray dove]

can you un-Rampage Wang by retreating the perma'd operator?

[agile hill]

at least you can't get +150%

[paper notch]

is5 and is6 typ shi

[arctic panther]

these 2 tiles are essentially the only safe spaces for mlynar

[atomic fjord]

wang after i crush his balls

[arctic panther]

once the op is captured you cant retreat them

[stray dove]

ouch

[paper notch]

they need to be killed and that's when mlynar's tankiness works as a disadvantage

[tame crescent]

Just want to make sure, Snack basket doesn't get disabled by manual skills activated by Dream Curio, right?

[paper kayak]

start of floor 2
if I get literally any collectable luck this one is going the distance

[arctic panther]

you can have him face right to try and clear an area for wis/exu/raidian to set up, or you can have him face left to let a good dps ranged op get on the left ranged tile

though you’d probably want some healing if you try and do the latter

[stray dove]

lmao....Wang's stage makes Therapist range better than Wandering (at start)

actually....it makes Therapists the best medics, aka Pure Hope 0 Prom 1

[nocturne cape]

had the most stressful ed3 run of my life

48 relics and 0 survival

purestream and gummy died at the beginning

and then amiya died

and then exu and wis died

xd

ig ballsack is no joke

-9 and won tho

[stray dove]

so Wang's damage is just negligible if no one gets permastunned?

since most ranged DPS can defend the 3 cardinal positions, that can easily be solved

although burning at the back might not be idea

[nocturne cape]

need to clear pieces too but yeah

[stray dove]

so I can see why Ya2 is a good pick for Ed3

[nocturne cape]

like 2k on D15

[paper kayak]

don't you just slap leizi mlynar at the back to deal with those

[stray dove]

i don't have Lazer

so can't do double Liberator sweep

[arctic panther]

yato alter is great for is6 in general with the redeploy coin and relic

[stray dove]

ok I'll practice later

i'm doing this D12 immediately instead of D10

might as well get some ending clears out of the way

[atomic fjord]

doesnt wang just fall over and die if you get exodia lapp2

[old geyser]

If you've gotten to Wang's fight and you know the mechanics you've basically already won

[stray dove]

Cube did say on guide that there's the shittiest start of the double tanks at right side spawn

and you need to solve that first

[nocturne cape]

yeah there is a bit of a problem solving at the beginning

if you can set up the stage is easy

if you cant its hell mode

[stray dove]

I'm thinking of doing Special Squad Wis start (my best pre-req solution) with F1 Rob cannot

[nocturne cape]

sounds good

[sick mason]

Man I’m so addicted to special squad and sui regulator squad

[stray dove]

hmmm can't do the typical humus and will rely on others for DPS in robbing

[nocturne cape]

wis is a pretty safe rob

[hardy radish]

how to pass this one

[sick mason]

Just get lucky

The bosses in floor 3 and 5 are nasty

[hardy radish]

and i realized that in regular operations bosses like crownslayer, w, twin knights also get this buff

[arctic panther]

just dont take any combats

[sick mason]

Just get king’s relic

[atomic fjord]

1 hp kings relic

🔥

[hardy radish]

and leak the boss

[urban isle]

wait wrong chat

[atomic fjord]

nice trust

[urban isle]

shh

[errant siren]

Melee Talisman Holders are spawncamping your melee ops, and black orbs denies both melee and ranged drop, except very two tiles on center near redbox.

[stray dove]

or Wis E2

[errant siren]

You need to also spawnkill them via Mlynar/LeiziAlter/any strong Waveclear Melee near redbox to kill them and start developing defenses.

[errant siren]

No chance.

[stray dove]

F9 position

as Cube stated with Revenant

[errant siren]

Only viable tile is top right, near black orb, which decreases ASPD to shit.

And via -50% Starting SP Cost relic, she cannot start by her own.

She just dies before pressing S3.

[sullen wren]

Hi all, for IS6 ending 2 relic, is the encounter node always present in every bosky run? though i note the exact location is by luck..

[errant siren]

Unless you maybe have big ass ASPD, which is understandable.

Otherwise no chance to.

[errant siren]

Yes, only Bosky.

[stray dove]

so what you're telling me is....Cube lied

[errant siren]

Maybe he had godrun.

[errant siren]

Like, you even see here

There's no safe ranged tiles.

All crossed out.

[stray dove]

so camo can't keep you burn-safe?

[errant siren]

So he's right about this one.

[sinful sparrow]

it's not

he didn't

[errant siren]

No, it doesn't save from black orb DoT.

[sinful sparrow]

[nocturne cape]

She uses S2 in Clarity…

[errant siren]

[nocturne cape]

Of course she dies if you sit on S3 all the time

That skill has a 30s startup in ed3

[errant siren]

I love sitting S3 all the time.

[paper notch]

bengal wis brainrot archetype

😭

[nocturne cape]

Ive done it 7 runs in a row on D15 2+3

[stray dove]

F9 look down S2 so it kills the piece on the right too?

[nocturne cape]

Yes you cant do it under extreme lowroll but thats the rare case

[errant siren]

K

[errant siren]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/G5Wj_8VWsAA8akV.gif

Balans

[nocturne cape]

Yes and immediately drop Raidian on the right tile

If wisadel is losing hp too fast drop gummy immediately after swordsman die

Otherwise you can try to save gummy for another highground on the left

On D15 you also need to retreat revenant so she can use S2

Riskier

If you can put your raidian down this stage is won

[stray dove]

Special Squad makes F1 robbing so easy. Plenty of deployment limit. A lot of temp units to use and sac to lancers

Dream Curio

this run is already looking good

[hearty dock]

Mizuki or ascalon for is6?

Also which skill?

[stray dove]

....very annoying

[errant siren]

Either works. Mizuki if hole-pushing lover, Ascalon if DoT lover. Better if latter.

[errant siren]

S2 both.

[old geyser]

that ones worse than talismans IMO

[hardy radish]

guys i got this but now i am only at 10 HP

[ionic kestrel]

d0?

this is easy just dont use all your squad for killing p1 because he tps all your ops transitioning to p2

[errant siren]

I guess he's playing Nameless Epic scenario.

[ionic kestrel]

🏃‍♂️

idk then

[errant siren]

Stage is alter.

[hardy radish]

focused epic

[errant siren]

Yeah

This one

[errant siren]

Do you have Kings Relics?

[hardy radish]

way more difficult than d0 rolling ancestor

yeah all 4

[errant siren]

Good.

[hardy radish]

afraid that i cannot defeat fremont

[errant siren]

Should be doable even with Wis alone.

[hardy radish]

then what's the setup

[errant siren]

Just jebate his shots and you're fine.

[errant siren]

Wis close to base as well as to enemy main concentration.

[errant siren]

Could immediately make him go Phase 2.

[hardy radish]

is that right

[errant siren]

So make him phase 2, retreat Wis immediately, wait for Fremont doing teleport start animation, then deploy anyone to destroy her coffin

And kill him one more time.

[errant siren]

Um, should be two tiles right.

Fremont is close, so he could oneshot Wis

[hardy radish]

this one?

[errant siren]

He can so that

[errant siren]

Perfect

[hardy radish]

oh no the game crashes

ill try next time

[errant siren]

Use MumuPlayer

Should no crash at all

[hardy radish]

so i should have a habit: when approaching final boss stage exit and re entry to avoid crashing

[paper kayak]

well thats my d13 clear

[burnt lantern]

guys, you know the name of IS6 stage that have Flowers that circles and devour unit, and White flower that stun everyone?

[dusk creek]

硕果累累 - Feast of Fruit

[dense vortex]

probs my fav encounter stage

[errant siren]

Yes, ISW-DF "Feast of Fruit".

[burnt lantern]

Ah okay thx! i always leaked that stage...

[errant siren]

Can you also check if this stage denies revive clock effect and kills you anyway?

[red mango]

Worth doing masteries for deepcolor and contrail for IS or are they fine at S7?

[crimson nest]

No you wont be e2ing them lol

[errant siren]

Fine at E1-60 even. If you must, do E2-40 to Deepcolor and give Mod3 for more tentacle having.

[crimson nest]

Supp & spec tix are valuable

[red mango]

Woops

Oh well I like them anyway so not too fussed

[errant siren]

yeah, that's overkill, but still fine tho. you can put some use over them.

[red mango]

And for Jellyboy skill 2 over skill 1 and skill 1 over skill 3 for mastery priorities?

[errant siren]

Yes, you would rarely find S3 useful.

[fresh cloud]

Hi, is there a guide for IS4 like which squad is better, which nodes to prioritize and early ops to take

[errant siren]

SniperMedic, Bosky Passage, Wisadel.

Should suffice you.

[warm drum]

Tragodia support

[fresh cloud]

Ah okay, I'll give those a try ty

[mint gull]

Do the medallions interact with penance thorn dmg?

[errant siren]

Yes, ops reflect helps them be released more quicker.

Mlynar goat.

[mint gull]

Do they charge her s3?

[errant siren]

Unsure, didn't used her directly.

[mint gull]

Gonna have to test next time. Sounds fun if it works the way I think it works

[sacred niche]

help

this stage alr cooked me 6 times

[vagrant burrow]

i see leizi i see raidian ez stage

how do your relics look? what diff is this

[sacred niche]

9

[vagrant burrow]

any notable relics that buff leizi?

e1 kinda scuff but d9 should be fine

[dense vortex]

just beat diff 14

[vagrant burrow]

put leizi above the red box on s2 and use her skill as soon as she’s at max atk, then once the 4 elites at the top die, place raidian on the top right and kill the orb next to her with a s2 summon so she doesn’t die, then you can use raidian s2 summons to trivialize the entire stage

[dense vortex]

jfc my ops keep getting insta killed as soon as my shield layers die

[desert brook]

block enemies coming out of red box, kill the weiqi rocks with yato 2 and whatever other ops you feel like, then you can deploy ranged op on left

[sacred niche]

stir fry, spinach

[vagrant burrow]

oh you have yato im blind

stat can still be the same though, just if leizi can’t finish off the top elites yato can help

[desert brook]

iirc, if an op is spawned on a corner adjacent tile to one of those melee enemies that give talisman when in range, the op wont be in range

[vagrant burrow]

careful of yato eating your dp if she dies though

adjacent will get hit with talisman but diagonal won’t

that’s why the tiles directly above and below the red box are safe

[desert brook]

yea thats the word im looking for

i said corner adjacent

[vagrant burrow]

take advantage of that to put leizi down and let her simmer

[desert brook]

anyway that means when you start theres a lot of "safe" melee tiles

[sacred niche]

s2?

[vagrant burrow]

technically since she’s take off you can put her anywhere but unless you’re highrolling, once you activate her skill she risks exploding

[sacred niche]

what should be prio?
removing balls?

[vagrant burrow]

ye leizi and raidian s2, yato s3

[vagrant burrow]

refer to this

prio is securing top right ranged tile for raidian

she solos the stage once she’s safe

yato is just a cherry on top atp

[desert brook]

i think you can do this stage with yato + raidian already

[vagrant burrow]

don’t gotta remove balls if raidian spawncamps eveyone

[desert brook]

so removing balls is lower priority, itd be getting radian down so you can spit blockers and dps the minibosses

[sacred niche]

aight, thx

those big boys are so chonky in this stage

[vagrant burrow]

yea yato could probably solo top elites as well, they only have 30k hp on d9

just place her going left to right

probably similar kill time to e1 leizi

[errant siren]

Put LeiziAlter or Qubai near redbox

Kill all Talisman Holders

Develop defenses

[vagrant burrow]

you only really need to kill the one next to the top right ranged tile

then raidian s2’s all over the place and you win

[sacred niche]

-6

how does those balls work?

[vagrant burrow]

if 4 surround an operator that operator gets permastunned after like a 1s delay

aside from that they just deal constant arts dot to adjacent units

[iron orchid]

can the godblessed encounter appear on any floor

[worldly raptor]

should I fight this thing

[quick remnant]

Forgot to candle any healer ffs

[errant siren]

Yes.

[quick remnant]

Probably not unless you got strong remote dmg dealer

[errant siren]

Hope you get 2 Risks coins

[errant siren]

For Emergency OOC

[iron orchid]

[errant siren]

Which one is it?

[iron orchid]

the one that sacrifices all ur ingots for the coin that turns all your vouchers into 6* temp recs

[errant siren]

Oh

I have seen on 2nd Floor

[iron orchid]

nice ty

[errant siren]

Probably from 1-3F

[iron orchid]

i want this so badly

why not after 3F?

[quick remnant]

definitely seen it 4F

[iron orchid]

mmm

[errant siren]

[desert brook]

i think ive seen it twice in f3 and that was it

[iron orchid]

encounter farming here i come

prolly not f1 though

ty

what's the special battle in pathfinder btw? never tried it

[rapid pulsar]

You put 1-2 operators on these tiles

If they die you lose

[iron orchid]

is it worth it

[errant siren]

Kinda a Face-Off.

You need to pick op that you want to make it Candleholder, put her into Lotus tile on the field.

You can add more ops in any time before hitting "Battle Start" button as soon as DeployLimit allows you.

When battle starts, you need to make this Lotus op survive for 45 seconds without dying from any source: spawning enemies, lightings from above, etc. If you survive this, ops standing still in Lotus tiles will become Candleholder.
*Note: this won't promote them to E2.

[rapid pulsar]

And they get smited sometimes

[rapid pulsar]

Absolutely nope

You get like the same rewards as a regular battle

[iron orchid]

i see

looks kinda ass

[rapid pulsar]

Ohhh so that’s what promoted via battle mean

[errant siren]

Yes

Via this option

[tepid hamlet]

What are turmoil nodes? On IS6

[urban isle]

https://tenor.com/view/nix-voltare-gif-10924203251783205392

[errant siren]

Bosky Battles. ⚔️

[sacred niche]

oh thats why my ops were losing hp

welp
i got yi'd

[urban isle]

hmmm

[icy ice]

Wait so if IS bosses only deduct a certain number of life points, would the infinite kettle strat just like basically let you beat any ending in is6 super easily?? Or do bosses immediately end the stage when they leak?

[urban isle]

all first 3 is boss

can be tanked

yi is 30 hp iirc

the only exception

let me check

amiya say 999

but is just death

[icy ice]

Ok thanks

[desert brook]

i thought sui feet was 50

i heard at least boss was 50

anyway if you have like 400 hp youll be fine

[iron orchid]

what is the angle for calamitous punishment

[errant siren]

Only Amiya oneshots you, since she has -9999 BaseHP leak penalty, for obvious reasons.

[keen shore]

Archetto work better in new is or mizuki?

[errant siren]

The rest could be survivable. Only -30 or -50.

[icy ice]

I'm REALLY tempted to try this now

This strat sounds so stupid😭😭

[keen shore]

Go challenge no operator win

[fading wind]

I tried that with 66 hp then i leaked the minion too in IS6

[errant siren]

Sui Paw and Wang indeed does -50.
The rest of IS bosses does -30.

[desert brook]

interesting

[iron orchid]

like does it genuinely have good rewards or can i just not bother

[void root]

Battle node

Cleared gives you relics

And those ducklings buddies will also appear too

[wary zodiac]

so who should i pick in is 6 based on my operators

https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/yubdon

need to clear difficulty 2 for raidian e2

[sinful sparrow]

tragodia, exusiai alter, mizuki, lemuen should give you an easy way out

[remote badger]

s2m3 ur exualt

[sinful sparrow]

shes... s2m3 though?

[remote badger]

what the

[icy ice]

Wait so for the infinite kettle strat, the whole point of refreshing coffer in suis consciousness is to farm ingots?

[remote badger]

fuck ass wifi

[sinful sparrow]

wtf

bro cant read

🥀

[remote badger]

srry discord smh scammed me

[wary zodiac]

Is that bad

[remote badger]

no

its good

[wary zodiac]

It just my most used skill

[remote badger]

u will definitely run s2 almost all the time

[errant siren]

You need to find Ling Leisure node and farm both Candles (Bosky node use until return to Normal World) and Ingots, until you have enough both of these.

[wary zodiac]

And which starting buff should i pick

[errant siren]

It's only doable with Support Squad, giving you special coin.

[remote badger]

coupons

or kettle

[icy ice]

Ohh ok thanks

[wary zodiac]

So am i cooked

[errant siren]

And you also needs coupons for rerolling coins.

[rapid pulsar]

That’s a different starting buff

[remote badger]

no

[wary zodiac]

Is high ground squad good pick for my team

[rapid pulsar]

What difficulty are you?

[worldly raptor]

do y'all think I can win chat

[wary zodiac]

@rapid pulsar

[errant siren]

If you spawncamp the Yi, with Lessing/Shu/Phantom spam.

Otherwise you die.

[rapid pulsar]

Yeah sure then both high ground and ground breaching are good for early game

[worldly raptor]

keep forgetting that yi is blockable

lessing s2 or s3?

[errant siren]

S3

[carmine token]

s3

[errant siren]

Needs a ton of HP to survive

[worldly raptor]

okay so first deploy is shu blocking him

then lessing

where tf do i put phantom

[rapid pulsar]

Use phantom to block

And when she uses her skill

[errant siren]

Then Phantom

[rapid pulsar]

Retreat

[errant siren]

She?

[rapid pulsar]

I keep forgetting

[errant siren]

[rapid pulsar]

Yin is a he

[worldly raptor]

yi is a woman?

[errant siren]

No

[worldly raptor]

bro he looks manly as hell

[errant siren]

Dude

[worldly raptor]

anyways

[rapid pulsar]

I’m my defense

I’ve only looked at the chibi

[worldly raptor]

shu s1 or s3

[errant siren]

You just whatever to let him stay on top side of the map.

If he reaches mid or bottom, it may be gameover to you.

[worldly raptor]

yeah ive lost twice

but now i have much better collectibles

if i lose im never touching IS again

[errant siren]

Just take Trag or ZuoLe

[worldly raptor]

i dont have both

[sinful sparrow]

why the hell are we shilling zuole for this shit now

ew

[errant siren]

Because S2 can tank this shit.

On high diff just increase his HP.

And he's good to go.

[gentle linden]

S1 but raidian s1 is really the correct answer here

[worldly raptor]

where tf am i gonna get raidian zawg

[gentle linden]

Shes like the first reward from is6

And there's a squad that lets you start with a maxed raidian for that run

[sinful sparrow]

That sounds so shit of a solution

[wary zodiac]

Btw how good mlynar here

I have 163 tickets and heard he coming soon

[errant siren]

If mine not so leveled ZuoLe survived D12 Yi, why it should be shit strat?

[sinful sparrow]

d12

not d15

and you probably highrolled HP

[errant siren]

I had Salad, yeh

[sinful sparrow]

recc'ing shit because you highrolled HP should not be legal

[errant siren]

[sinful sparrow]

sure?

@cold fjord bro, i must be seeing things
this shit is not working

i killed every rat ever and 0 buff

:gigampreg:

[worldly raptor]

which one

[errant siren]

You know it works like Kings Relics?

So you have volunturily drop your BaseHP to 1.

[sinful sparrow]

...oh

fuck

[errant siren]

[sinful sparrow]

🤦‍♂️

goddamn it

[wary zodiac]

Exualter or tragodia

[wicked sandal]

trag imo

actually

none of the above

raidian

ah but ur d2

yeah just go trag

[wary zodiac]

She lvl 80

[wicked sandal]

e180?

yeah that's good enough

[wary zodiac]

Yeah

[wicked sandal]

i'd take raidian still

then either exu or trag

[wary zodiac]

Even without e2?

[wicked sandal]

depending on what voucher u get

[wicked sandal]

yes

[wary zodiac]

Just to be lastly sure

Still?

Alr

[floral mist]

.......

DUDE

WTF

[sinful sparrow]

...is that supposed to happen

@cold fjord @nocturne cape look at this shit

[wicked sandal]

Good

[wicked sandal]

LMAO

what are the chances

[floral mist]

Super low

BUT AHHHHHHHHHH

[errant siren]

2 out of 8 classes are free

Imagine D18 having 4 classes which all will have Talisman on first drop

[floral mist]

So if I got this abyssal chance

Imagine getting two Hour of Sui with -25% SP

-50% starting SP

☠️

[boreal island]

Left is busted right? At least it sounds busted

[floral mist]

If you like to toss coins, yes

[sick mason]

Left is better indeed

[boreal island]

It does not rest on every floor right? So at least 150% that's an entire king set type stuff

[sick mason]

Besides, who wants to go to combat in pathfinder anyway if you reserve so many vouchers

[wicked sandal]

left is auto-pick

[sick mason]

Not reset

[boreal island]

Noice

[sick mason]

I guess ed3 in general isn't that complicated

[errant siren]

Left 100%

[sick mason]

And the boss (Wang) himself isn't that hard to encounter (just Mlynar to distract him)

[errant siren]

You never miss ATK buff in IS, especially if it does by itself or needs something simple.

Coin toss is basically -1 or -2 Coupons.

Free toss first time if low diff.

[sick mason]

And if you toss all 3 risk coins, well congrats u get even more buff

[boreal island]

Ye, even if I don't do anything, still get +30% atk every floor

[sick mason]

Wow it's been 10 days already since IS6 released

[errant siren]

One is enough to trigger 2 stacks.

[sick mason]

Just hoping the risk coins are the ones that gives -max HP, +atk, and -65% redepoyment time

Or even -40% sp cost but auto activated skills

[ivory hemlock]

whats a good beginner squad for ed3 9

[errant siren]

IS6?

[ivory hemlock]

yeah

[sick mason]

I'd say special squad

[errant siren]

Any you feel conformable with.
Special Squad is option if your Raidian still unleveled properly, otherwise would pick Discount one for classes I would pick to push End3.

[ivory hemlock]

i got everything except mod 2

which discount squad would be best

[sick mason]

Def/support

[ivory hemlock]

makes sense

how good are coin/regulator squad for ed3 i enjoyed those too

[sick mason]

Sui regulator squad is great too

Especially where u can store more reserved vouchers and then recruit a lot of discounted people in pathfinders

Coin (tourist) squad is also good for late game

For early tho u have to be careful in case your ass tossed all 4 risk coins from start

[ivory hemlock]

true

[left ledge]

Done with all the Raidian grinding regarding ED1. Time to do ED2.

[glossy phoenix]

My Ethan couldn’t hold left side in ed2

Do I need e2 ascalon or something

[remote badger]

-17

[sick mason]

U need more than that

Or u can just leak all but costs 17 LP

Unless if u don't have 18 LP or more, good luck

[wanton rose]

are you meant to kill the boss slowly within 10 minutes on ed2, cuz goddamn the nuke is hard to survive through
esp that half hp all retreat

[sick mason]

It's better to not let the boss HP drop to 50% until you defeated everyone first

If you really have no other choice and lack of other DPS that is

[glossy phoenix]

I just want to mastery raidian but I can’t beat Ed 2

[sinful sparrow]

step 1 draft exualt

step 2

win

[glossy phoenix]

Well I had exu but I had like 6 life

So I died to left side mobs

[sick mason]

Then you really need to figure out how to hold the left lane

[wanton rose]

entellechia

[glossy phoenix]

Maybe ill wait for hoshi

She will save me surely

[remote badger]

ask cube

[sinful sparrow]

the easiest way is just stacking up 17 LPs

tavern is especially great at that

[glossy phoenix]

I eat all my lp in the sui trade nodes

[wanton rose]

just get that campfire legend node surely

so on d15 you can't start raidian exu2 if you get kettle right

such a broken start

[sinful sparrow]

special squad? yes

ground squad? yes

every other squad? fuck no

[floral mist]

You can still actually, Support Squad + Kettle

[glossy phoenix]

Guys who do you pick with caster voucher after amiya

[floral mist]

Lapp

[glossy phoenix]

Why does keep disappointing me

[remote badger]

i would straight up abandon it

[floral mist]

I need her S1 for Wang boss fight

[sick mason]

Normal Lappland?

[floral mist]

Alter

[sacred niche]

amiya is good in is6?

[sinful sparrow]

amiya has been good in like

pretty much every IS

[sacred niche]

what class?

[remote badger]

med

[forest orchid]

She cheap af and true damage provider

[sacred niche]

oh
nvm.. i dont jave that

[forest orchid]

Didnt beat CH14?

[wanton rose]

is it just because of the statuegeist

i haven't drafted amiya once

[sacred niche]

on 14-15 rn

[sick mason]

Amiya medic is just a cheap recruit

[sacred niche]

roccs ruined me

[sick mason]

And good at global healing with her skills

Although her S1 charging time is atrocious

[forest orchid]

and if you light it even more

[forest orchid]

And S2s once per stage

[sick mason]

What is it with HG designing Amiya guard and medic best skills to "can only be used ONCE per stage"

[wanton rose]

5* debuff idk

[glossy phoenix]

When will we get Amiya guardian defender

She will end gummi

[fresh torrent]

https://www.krooster.com/u/clear-apricot-w-51yg
Who are some good operators to help me just e2 radian? I'm not too familiar with IS

[sick mason]

Maybe we'll wait until chapter 20-22 or something like that

[errant siren]

I expect this.

[sick mason]

I want Amiya specialist tho

[errant siren]

Merchant

[remote badger]

exualt

[wanton rose]

did you read pins?

honestly i worry more for your base

lmao

[wary zodiac]

How good raidian in is 2-5

[sick mason]

Raidian is pretty mid outside IS6

She is an operator specifically designed to carry IS6

[remote badger]

find a supp ticket

and try it urself

[fresh torrent]

Is something wrong with it?

[wanton rose]

you have a lot of good baseslaves unbuilt esp proviso

can see /base /baseskills in #bot-spam

[fresh torrent]

Oh, i haven't bothered much with base

[errant siren]

Should be.

Won't make you go CE-6 over and over again.

[fresh torrent]

I will check it out, i only farm during events so I don't really run out of lmds and exp for now

[wanton rose]

so did you check pins? the first pin

[fresh torrent]

The tragodia one right? I'm having issue reaching the boss. Some random stages overwhelms with big numbers and sometimes on floor 3 boss

[ivory hemlock]

what guards should i use for ed3 is6

besides lalter

[sick mason]

Lalter?

[ivory hemlock]

leizi alter

[sick mason]

That's pretty funny to abbreviate "L"eizi "alter"

[ionic wraith]

Besides Leizi guards are kind of meh here

[ivory hemlock]

i love funny abbreviations

[sick mason]

Mlynar is useful to taunt Wang's attacks

[ionic wraith]

Ulpi is fine I guess since you need someone tanky

[remote badger]

he isn't

when bigass dmg comes in

[ivory hemlock]

or should i use this assault voucher to just fasttrack ines

[ionic wraith]

Ed3 doesn't really have bigass damage

He doesn't care for dot debuff which is nice

[ivory hemlock]

e1 ulp or e2 ines

[remote badger]

ines

[ivory hemlock]

Ok.

[ionic wraith]

Ines

[ivory hemlock]

oops i actually had a guard voucher too

guess i will e1 ulp

or actually i have two defender vouchers should i use that instead

[glacial bane]

is ines mod2,3 worth it or just 1

[remote badger]

maybe

[pine sun]

this is a dangerous battle right?

[errant siren]

First one is Normal.
Second one is Emergency.

[sick mason]

Very dangerous

[errant siren]

Map is ISW-SP "Calamitous Punishment".

Enemy spawning Black Sticks orbs around this altar.
Emergency makes them sit one tile closer to it.

[sudden cloak]

Who else is good defender for Is6?

[wraith warren]

I had both ammo refund relics lmao

[sick mason]

Currently not much apart from cheap-ass Gummy

Or if you do have so much hopes, Shu

Wait till next month for Hoshi alter

[sudden cloak]

I got the when attacked gain +2sp , so i wonder who else is good

[sick mason]

Yu

[sinful sparrow]

totally OOC emer

[sick mason]

Hmm...

[remote badger]

trag

[sick mason]

For faster S2 charge?

[remote badger]

yeh

[rapid pulsar]

is it normal that in d15 is5 ed3 patriot one shots my shu and nukes everything on field on phase 2

😭 😭 😭 😭

[remote badger]

yes

[rapid pulsar]

how am i supposed to beat phase 2

[remote badger]

ofc its d15

[rapid pulsar]

fair enough

[remote badger]

camo-

[rapid pulsar]

oh yeah

is there anything that grants others camo

[hearty plaza]

Heavyrain

[rapid pulsar]

[sick mason]

When was the last time Heavyrain was a thing

[remote badger]

whoops

there goes my nitor

[sinful sparrow]

i feel like i was playing is5 bruh

chalice 150 ingot with coin machine

[sacred niche]

wtf is this (help)

this is hard?

[sick mason]

Oh that map is quite hard

Because the enemies mostly from R6S second collab

Matteo's bodyguards even

[sacred niche]

i have this and "law and order" coin

[remote badger]

second collab exactly

[sacred niche]

idk
didnt do that event

[sick mason]

I did say that :)))

[sacred niche]

there are balls in this stage?

[remote badger]

nvm

[sacred niche]

cant i just place tragodia and cat everything?

[sick mason]

Nope

[slate hull]

I had a good summon build and cleared everything with Raidian s2, but the stage is an absolute pain, so many hard enemies from so many directions

[round trellis]

Is3 solution to mizuki. Cope for IS5 sentinal with collapsal atk buff

[sacred niche]

i will place shu below blue box and pray ig

[wraith warren]

How much hp needed to leak the eniter yi boss fight

Including yi himself

I wanna do funni

[sick mason]

Wdym? You don't need any

Depends on the stage enemies and your LP amount

[round trellis]

He wants to afk the stage and let everything though.

Probably 70 or so hp.

[sick mason]

Wow I never see this before

[hardy radish]

finally i passed focused epic

[sacred niche]

0 cd cat made it too ez

now i dont have raidian for ed 3 boss

[wraith warren]

Should be enough then

[pine sun]

im assuming this is ed3?

[sick mason]

Yes

[pine sun]

well fvck it then haha

[errant siren]

it's ez

[sacred niche]

its not that bad

[errant siren]

unless End3 exit stage

this one sucks ass

and fucks over your Pathfinder as well

[sacred niche]

balls can be killed by cat?

[errant siren]

yes

[pine sun]

any cheese strat for this ?

[sacred niche]

tragodia shu start wouldnt be dumb right?

[errant siren]

Have Mlynar/LeiziAlt/any starter DPS Waveclearer melee.

Oh wait, to which part are you referring, @pine sun?

[pine sun]

the ed3 boss
also this needs the 50% reduced initial sp collectible right?

where do you get that again?
doubt or legend node?

also i can do this in 1 go right? i dont want to fight that boss twice

[remote python]

Properly came back to the game after a while; any 6* I'm committing a sin not upgrading? Or whose module I should rush asap? I kinda like archetto's alpha module, no I'm not upgrading Gnosis or Mountain, fk that

[main bison]

yes

and you get it from Bosky, plus an encounter

[errant siren]

Doubt with Go Gameboard, and have 5 Candleguests ops already.

[errant siren]

Only if you do D9 already, otherwise you have to play twice, on D9 and D10 for Mod2 and Mod3.

And Mod3 needs Raidian to be recruited.

The temporary one from Special Squad should also suffice.

[sick mason]

Tbf it's not hard to recruit Raidian so ignore that

[pine sun]

yeah, gonna use the special squad so minus the hassle

gotta watch some ed3 strats
so i dont fvck up

[sick mason]

The "clarity" stage is quite cancerous

Especially if you mostly have ranged dps

[pine sun]

i just wish raidian hits twice, whats the 4 hands for otherwise

[sacred niche]

texas s3 can delete balls near her by herself?

[sick mason]

Just use Yatoalt

[vital mason]

someone have use the tricks F1 Shop Rob ? We must buyout the entire page and use the coupon refresh for it works?

[sick mason]

In the pinned, use leader squad I guess

[sacred niche]

dont have her

[vital mason]

so it's a "must" to spend all the page for this glitch work.

[errant siren]

Glitch?

Must?

What are you talking about bruh?

[bright otter]

probably thinks that using the end of time relic in f1 shop is a glitch

[errant siren]

🥹

[vital mason]

yes

[nocturne cape]

It can happen yes

Had games like that

[errant siren]

It's not the glitch.

It's the strat.

You just seeing the shop, buy something you need and refresh.

If you feel good with refreshed shop, you rob him.

With Leader Squad you just quit the battle as soon as it starts.

You'll die, because leaving before beating the stage is punishable as you would die here.

But clock denies it and just skips the battle.

You just take all in shop and leave.

[vital mason]

last part, i understand

just buying and refresh is a "must" we can't skip it

[nocturne cape]

Its not

You can just rob

[errant siren]

You can just rob that way. Buying on 2nd attempt is if it helps to clear that stage.

[vital mason]

ok i see

[errant siren]

But if you don't fight, it's completely skippable step.

[sacred niche]

summons also get balls?

[errant siren]

Yes

[sacred niche]

ooof

lmao

[errant siren]

Even if it's cat

[sacred niche]

i placed my 0 cd cat 30+ times

still leaked only 4
cat was getting stunned again again
i was wondering wtf going on

only diff 10 left then im done

[ivory prawn]

Is it worth a try?

[pearl kindle]

With enough LP, shit's ridiculously easy lol

[sick mason]

Why not

You wanna push your limit? Go on

[paper notch]

what type of question is that

[crimson nest]

???????

[sinful sparrow]

😭

[errant siren]

Cool, more ingots with S2 Raidian

[rancid pilot]

.......oh right, April has the flat redeployment reduction gimmicks

how tf did i forget that

[remote umbra]

I realised in IS6 you barely meet the Cannot shopkeeper.
You get 1 obligatory shop at the end of floor1 and then need to go out of your way to reach the 2nd shop.
You cant just hop between every Safe house, expedition, 1v1, candle recruitment, shop tile on each floor

[sonic sable]

I thought is is supposed to be fun

[strong sentinel]

I still can't win even with a team like this lmao

[sonic sable]

Weirdge team

[orchid hamlet]

Anybody knows what you get for the Yaksha collector choices are?

What do I get if I pay him with interest, only give back what he gave, or so no?

[vagrant spade]

anyone has a video on entelechia solo left side?

i really need to see her performance

[woven wagon]

Pay with interest, you get 10 ingot refund + special coin which upgrades shops when tossed + keep bob’s thingy for starting dp

Never paid normally so I don’t know exactly but I assume it does nothing special

Refuse to pay starts a fight

[orchid hamlet]

I see. choose to fight earlier. Already robbed him on f4 so option 1 would have been useless to me

[stray dove]

@nocturne cape You weren't kidding when you said the invis talisman spawncampers would be trouble

but thanks to your guide, yeah Wang's pretty fun and challenging in a different way (Weiqi pieces gimmick + Ed3's debuffs)

[nocturne cape]

[stray dove]

Really punishes you for doing really bad moves constantly and just winging it/dropping constantly

[wraith warren]

Surfer solo

[stray dove]

is it always 3 tanks?

[vagrant spade]

@nocturne cape

[stray dove]

btw i had a rough time playing my first F6 map, Garrison

they made an entire map based on the strongest enemy type in Lucent Arrowhead

[nocturne cape]

I dont have normal run saved

Theyre all kinda highroll

[stray dove]

figuring out Wang must've been pretty fun for CN first time players

cause doing it blind must've locked you out so badly unless the run's just godlike

[boreal island]

I'm scared to start. Any tips?

[errant siren]

Do you have Raidian and Ines?

[boreal island]

Nope

[errant siren]

Unbeatable.

Just skip this fight.

[boreal island]

You mean my team yes?

Ufff

[errant siren]

You just die to car which requires 3 Block.

[boreal island]

I have shu?

[errant siren]

And immediately goes to bluebox.

[errant siren]

And also Binding Caster... FROM PRIESTESS.

Which just stops your DP gain and you're fucked.

Lol

[boreal island]

Kroos surely carries

[errant siren]

Well, have a try then

[boreal island]

I print DP on car with canta?

[errant siren]

Car is very bottom

[boreal island]

Thx

[stray dove]

I dare not touch that map without potentially a Gummy

just in case it spawns the van

[boreal island]

Yay I did it

I think

Totally didn't get carried by relics
