is-station

[boreal island]

I can see why radian S1 would be good here

[flint pendant]

ya, she tanks all 4 lanes

[stray dove]

can anyone tell me what the Locked one is?

[supple mountain]

Is blaze not count as yan operator?

[stray dove]

...sigh....what an F1

[steel relic]

Not yet

[stray dove]

Btw I know sweats would rank Yi as an easy boss. But fucking up the stall just wipes you so badly

[iron orchid]

wat, it's a hidden faction she doesn't have yet?

[raw vault]

i know theres a multi faction update soon

but normal blaze at most counts as victoria/RI/EO

[quick pond]

I feel genuinly depressed trying to do E2D12

I've cleared out Wonderland 5 times in a row now and that butterfly hasen't shown up at all. I have 30+ Ingots what am I doing wrong. I thought by now they'd stop doing random requirements for endings

[supple mountain]

"Let me search for my birth certificate first to get my yanese citizenship"

[raw vault]

blazter may count as yan tho

and
imagine drafting blaze anyway

[supple mountain]

I feels like this IS really favors ranged operator

[raw vault]

it does
until you get the 3block only enemies rushing to blue box

[supple mountain]

I haven't really used any ground dps till now

[stray dove]

If you want to do Ed2 d12 clears for all squad, it's kinda shitty right now.

I might recommend waiting for expansion 1 with its Ed2 route QoL

[supple mountain]

Shu is still a must pick but for me i really stumped if i got guard tick

Like do i go ulpi or mlynar or degen

Windscoot it is

[wintry void]

Is there a way to view the IS intro story again?

[wraith warren]

This count the ones cleared before getting it?

[nocturne cape]

🫃

[timber nacelle]

How do you do multiple endings in one IS run?

[raw vault]

fulfill all their conditions

[timber nacelle]

If I fulfill ED2 doesn't it overwrite ED1 and then end the run after finishing it

[lean bough]

What do the options here do, I can't find it on a wiki

[round trellis]

1. tough battle
2. tougher battle
3. run away

[errant siren]

Only from claiming it.

[round trellis]

pick 2

you gotta experience it at least once

let us know how it went

[errant siren]

1. Normal Battle enforced.
2. Emergency Battle enforced.
3. Leave with nothing.

Map is ISW-SP "Calamitous Punishment".

[round trellis]

not pictured: the 16 spawner enemies

[slate hull]

I killed a run because I picked option 2 without knowing what the battle was going to be

you need somebody who can clear the entire map 1 second after being deployed if you want to have a chance of beating this

[supple mountain]

Is there any output list on the stamp node in sui?

Something like candleguest shall...

[feral scroll]

are the squads that auto promote supposed to not promote borrowed ops?

[stray dove]

Pinned

[stray dove]

Yeah it doesnt register to borrows iirc

[feral scroll]

i thought it was for sure a bug since it works on is3 or 4 if i recall

[iron orchid]

wait, is Yi P1 a killgate

[nocturne cape]

yes

21

[weary hamlet]

how to promote elite 2 raidian?

[nocturne cape]

beating d2

[iron orchid]

ah fuck me ig

[gaunt bay]

Hi rechord

[iron orchid]

hallo

should f1 be combat-oriented rather than encounter-oriented?

[gaunt bay]

Combat

[fiery plover]

Is this related to the monthly contract?

[sonic sable]

Maxxed

[errant siren]

Yes

Wait for Feb to claim it

And play Nian in Jan

[sonic sable]

Bruh gummy plus eyja could not tank yi

[iron orchid]

if hung couldn't tank yi, gummy won't

[errant siren]

Jokes aside - neither Saria (E2-60 Y3) couldn't.

D0.

[sonic sable]

Guess i am stuck with trag raidian

[errant siren]

Indeed

Use cheaper stallers

[sonic sable]

Also why is that exu p6 but m0???

[halcyon flame]

when hoshi haruka drops they tank yi in red box relicless

bubble lady go pop pop pop

[sonic sable]

Cant wait for hoshi haruka

[errant siren]

Dunno. Ask the player which you borrowed this Exu.

[round trellis]

raidian s1 summons can tank yi

[errant siren]

[round trellis]

probably not a friend's exu

so mastery capped

[sonic sable]

I saw a vid wherw gummy waa tanking yi

[round trellis]

more likely than a nutjob using the resources ot e2 90 but having 0 masteries

[narrow cosmos]

How the fuck does Left Leg of Exodia Sui work?

[sonic sable]

Probably low d or hp relics

[errant siren]

I guess HP relics helps her.

[iron orchid]

btw wat vanguards do u usually draft
i tried mitm but even on low diff he blows

[round trellis]

as long as you know how the smarties from the dusk event work you can find any number of ways to tank yi

[gaunt bay]

Very balanced

🥹

[fiery plover]

Does the Liang drone explosion count for this?

[errant siren]

Tell Me Tell Me

[round trellis]

cantabile
surfer
beanstalk (starter)
ines (if full on hope)
myrtle (free)

[errant siren]

Yes, but don't relay on this.

[iron orchid]

oh ok so the usual canta surfer works

alr ty

my surfer is e0 so canta it is

[round trellis]

i think bassline + rose salt/quercus does this now even

just the combination of sanctuary and mega res

[narrow cosmos]

Cantible and Surfer because good

beanstalk and myrtle for starter.

Ines. Only if you have excess hope.

[fiery plover]

So that's why Raidian's squid summon didn't die as quick on one of the run I had

[narrow cosmos]

Also raidians squids are just tanky AF anyway

[sonic sable]

With explosion? I doubt

[round trellis]

actually, not bassline, czerny

confusing the lethanian defenders

[narrow cosmos]

I mean, I wouldn't be awfully suprised if Bassline gets very close. He gives himself res afterall. and S2 is good at eating Arts damage

[sonic sable]

Wtf

What about shu s2?

[round trellis]

sure 22.5% sanctuary

should work combined with her bulk

[sonic sable]

Might m3 it

[round trellis]

I would however suggest a blocker so there isn't 2 simultaneous duo attribute explosions

she can definitely survive one of them, 2 simultaneously is questionable

[sonic sable]

I will tank him close to blue box

[iron orchid]

mfw i accidentally retreat tragodia instead of canta

[open finch]

Known starting squad screenshotter

[drowsy solar]

Wow this entire time i didnt know i could recruit friends' support units..

[vagrant burrow]

is it common to refresh and rob f1 even after the coupon price increase at like d11? (forgot exactly which diff it happens at)

[halcyon flame]

Yes

[iron orchid]

oh right, speaking of f1 rob, what's the squad reqs?

[civic elbow]

how many lives does it take to tank the left side of ending 2

[vagrant burrow]

i just stick with leizi + raidian

[vagrant burrow]

18

it’s -17

[civic elbow]

ah alright

[iron orchid]

wat if no leizi

[vagrant burrow]

uh idk, maybe exu also works

[iron orchid]

wat if no exu

🥹

[vagrant burrow]

but im not confident

wtf is your open 🥹

[iron orchid]

idk im just trying stuff rn
just unlocked d3 so im trying trag raidian open with special squad

[vagrant burrow]

uh trag raidian can do it with a few leaks iirc

[iron orchid]

hm

[astral epoch]

Am I understanding this correctly about coins:
The coins in your coffer is your pool of available coins, and each floor (or at certain events), 3 coins from your coffer will get 'tossed'/activated

[iron orchid]

i don't think i've ever used leizi

[vagrant burrow]

join us in e1 leizi open with ground breaching squad

[iron orchid]

i kinda wanna max out raidian before i do other squads ngl
i'll just farm a bit with special squad for now :ya:

but after that sure

[vagrant burrow]

what in the shit

[vagrant burrow]

i’ve just been borrowing cube’s

[iron orchid]

the problem is that i don't have leizi or trag
so it's one or the other

[vagrant burrow]

wait why

oh on open

[iron orchid]

well i just don't have them

[vagrant burrow]

i mean i have my entire open up as my support units lol

[iron orchid]

kinda skipped their banners

[vagrant burrow]

you can do the open with my support units

[iron orchid]

oh u can borrow leizi and raidian?

[vagrant burrow]

you can borrow as many times as you have vouchers on start

i used to abuse it so much when i was newbie

[iron orchid]

no but like hope wise

[vagrant burrow]

ohh right

[iron orchid]

reedbean

[vagrant burrow]

basically raidian borrow only has the proficiency upgrades that yours has

so you gotta play until you unlock -2 hope upgrade

[iron orchid]

oh she has a -2 hope upgrade? didn't know

cool

[gaunt bay]

preferred to borrow entel instead for opening and draft leizi later

[vagrant burrow]

then raidian is 2 hope and leizi is 5/4 hope with tactical/ground breaching squad

[vagrant burrow]

ya

[vagrant burrow]

he has no leizi

or trag

[iron orchid]

yep

[gaunt bay]

🥀

[vagrant burrow]

so gotta open

[iron orchid]

i have entel but e0

[vagrant burrow]

eet ees what eet ees

[steel relic]

Washed

[gaunt bay]

bro is poor

face holding back tears emoji

[iron orchid]

nice i'll do this once my raidian isn't shit anymore

yep i have like 0 units

[vagrant burrow]

don’t let kiwi see his base

[iron orchid]

i don't even have exu

[old geyser]

who should I promote first

[vagrant burrow]

i hope it’s better than it was before

[iron orchid]

wis lol

[steel relic]

I cleared d0 5* only, d3 should still be easy

[vagrant burrow]

if you’re on low diff and wanna have fun i’d do narantuya but objectively wis is just the better choice

[iron orchid]

well i login only once per day still, so still bad

[iron orchid]

do u have ending screen im curious

[vagrant burrow]

tbh with how my sleep schedule has been recently that’s how it’s been for me too 🥹

[iron orchid]

idk i barely just started is6 so

[vagrant burrow]

you could ask shileds

he’s fighting for his life at like d12 ed3 or something

i meant like “rechord, you could ask ___”

[iron orchid]

@iron orchid do u know how to 5* is6

[vagrant burrow]

[iron orchid]

[steel relic]

#is-station message

[iron orchid]

i think like uhhhh half of those i didn't raise

[steel relic]

Turbo washed

[iron orchid]

who were the most important here

[steel relic]

Trust in the e0 Kafka coin geists tech

[iron orchid]

errrrrrr

my kafka is e2-

[vagrant burrow]

rechord wanna stream

or busy again

[iron orchid]

uh sure

watch my mega washed d3 run

[vagrant burrow]

IS STREAM 🗣️ 🔥

[steel relic]

Idr

[sonic sable]

I hate coin geist

30 cost vg

[steel relic]

Why did they nerf it

[dense cave]

wtf is this run

[iron orchid]

did u get the 6* temp voucher coin?

[dense cave]

it's IS5

[nocturne cape]

And that coin gives E2 temp

[dense cave]

i picked top gun squad or whatever it was called

really funny

[nocturne cape]

Damn you picked Rechord’s favorite squad

[steel relic]

Support unit Blemi is even the kind of incomprehensible decision making that Rechord would exhibit too

[iron orchid]

topgun is amazing and i will die by it

[nocturne cape]

Blemi is cute

Ill allow it

[dense cave]

i picked her

because

defender run

[gaunt bay]

Yes youve by dying by it a lot

[nocturne cape]

Why is Kiwi toxic

[gaunt bay]

Its fun to poke fun at rechord!

[halcyon flame]

Started the IS day 2 hours ago

60 runs in and I haven’t found box

Unlucky

[nocturne cape]

I think the play here is to attempt another ling loop and not rob shop

Filter out all the relics and try again

[halcyon flame]

I considered it ya

But then the possibility of not getting shop on F5 made me against it

And the fact that there would still be like 50-60 relics in the pool I think

[dense cave]

logos mommy screwed me over this time

[nocturne cape]

Ok then the real play is to wait til dlc1

[dense cave]

was expected this run didn't give me any medics

[nocturne cape]

So you can spam the shop refresh coin

[halcyon flame]

[gaunt bay]

Just replay reroll f1 shop or smth

[nocturne cape]

Thats what hes doing

[cold fjord]

the point of 100% completion is to do it before new relics are added

avg cube mpreg statement

[halcyon flame]

on the bright side im going to start tracking f1 shop data for fun

[dense cave]

anyone got plume as a support

maxed

[gaunt bay]

[halcyon flame]

all these 8 cost

its teasing me

[gaunt bay]

Im so glad they made books 6 cost now

[nocturne cape]

Stalwart aid - Training

[gaunt bay]

Er not books

[halcyon flame]

game card acess is also 6

which is funny

[gaunt bay]

Whatever the class specific things are called

Idk

[gaunt bay]

Tfw no candle

🥹

[halcyon flame]

maybe theyll buff training books and make them make the op candlebearer

wouldnt put it past them to uiber buff the players again for fun

im excited for ed5 now

[nocturne cape]

Making the game even easier in expansion 2?

[dense cave]

hello

[nocturne cape]

Sounds about right

[gaunt bay]

Balance it out by adding amiya style boss

[halcyon flame]

no more killgates

[gaunt bay]

With no lamp

[forest orchid]

Ive wanted a Lampless Darkamiya

[nocturne cape]

Ed5 boss is gonna have 10 killgates and every one of them can lead to permastall

My favorite theme

[halcyon flame]

never beating the jobber allgeations

[forest orchid]

Do I need to beat ED2 to get Ed3 gate?

?

[wraith warren]

Seems like it yes

I never get the ed3 (doubt) encounter before clearing ed2

First run after clearing ed2 i got that encounter

[slate hull]

I believe ed2 is required and afterwards the first doubts (wall) encounter will always be the board

[forest orchid]

I do not want to suffer finding that fcking legend node with the wasp to that ending

[lofty quiver]

I'm so stupid, I had a really good thing going for once and forgot you need an all or nothing encounter to actually get the ending 5 boss

I need to be checked for alzheimers

[cold fjord]

its ok the boss will be on a timer that causes instant loss and unleakable so you can't permastall

👍

[halcyon flame]

i wish they would bring back the ed4 feature in is4

where you get debuffed if you dont trade in the other ending collectibles

considering you can get ed3 debuff and ed4 debuff

[trail haven]

in is6 should i unlock bureau, tourist or regulation squad?

[forest orchid]

good idea

[inland elbow]

But the debuff would need to be incredibly shit to warrant getting the ed3 and 4 relics

[rancid pilot]

i hate to tell you this, but pointless question if you intend to level raidian

you'll need all 3 to get her upgrades

[cold fjord]

-75% xp -75% ingot gain

[gaunt bay]

Bro wants lamp^2 next

[cold fjord]

all roads lead to petal

[narrow cosmos]

WISH ME LUCK FOR ENDING 2

[arctic panther]

yes

[forest orchid]

why not Block Radian from using unless you get Ed3 and Ed4 objects

[trail haven]

rn i'm just trying to advance the skill tree spending the least lost knowledge so i just want to know which one is better to not waste it

[arctic panther]

get everything in the skill tree

[rancid pilot]

you can't "waste" it, you'll finish the skill tree eventually

[halcyon flame]

ya

[forest orchid]

As IS6 wihout Radina is torture

[trail haven]

yeah but i preffer getting the useful things first

[halcyon flame]

@nocturne cape im gonna try ur idea

i need to just play the game reseting is rotting my brain

[rancid pilot]

the usual design space for the 3 skill tree squads in IS is that they're all specifically designed to interact with and enable shenanigans with certain systems unique to that season, and they're usually all 3 pretty good

[forest orchid]

Thoughts?

[rancid pilot]

so i'd say they all 3 qualify as useful things

especially cos they all enable one raidian upgrade each

[cold fjord]

It is

I tried resetting for pathfinder fin in is3

But i ended up giving up

cuz it's so cringe

[halcyon flame]

i did that lol

i did it manually

something something i got stamina song

[rancid pilot]

but the paranoia of maybe missing a Dusk encounter spawn is real rn, i gotta keep full clearing the sui brain on a0 to find it

[halcyon flame]

oh i needed the one out of bosky for paint

so i wouldve needed to go ot f4

which i also did manuall.y

pain

[cold fjord]

I ended up getting that one naturally

but pathfinder fin never came home

[halcyon flame]

the silver forks encounter was giga funny

[rancid pilot]

i can't remember any items from is3

whenever i do i remember the book encounter

and then i stop wanting to remember is3

[cold fjord]

not as bas as the is2 book encounter tbh

[rancid pilot]

and the reward is mid on top of that

[halcyon flame]

the book encounter lead to a 2nd encounter that unlocked the portrait i think

[rancid pilot]

yes

sadly the second encounter not only had an abhorrent, near nonexistent spawn rate

you also needed to get to it twice for completionism purposes

[astral epoch]

what does 'promoted via combat' mean

[rancid pilot]

there has already been debates about this

the conclusion was nonexistent

[halcyon flame]

the conclusion is p existant though

it stacks in the pathfinder candle fight

[rancid pilot]

i saw like 4 interpretations

[halcyon flame]

that lets you make a candlebearer by surviving for a minute

as well as the red coin that strikes lightning

[rancid pilot]

because the description doesn't communicate that very well

[halcyon flame]

if u survive the lightning then it makes a candlebearer and makes a stack

[spark socket]

Oh fr? I thought it stacked when you upgrade ops anywhere outside pathfinder nodes

Guys so if i complete the radian m3 mission before i complete the m2 one, does it still count or do i have to m2 her first

[wet horizon]

Horse gaming

[winter belfry]

obtained candle from battles in pathfinder nodes/lightning risk coin

[forest orchid]

How do I avoid lithgning killing the op?

[astral epoch]

are the bosky battles just designed to troll you

this is some of the most infuriating battle design i've seen

[desert brook]

i like them, but theyre annoying to do blind, theyre a lot better when you know what to expect

[winter belfry]

heal

dodge

barriers

just anything survival related

[astral epoch]

like this stage not giving you time to even put down a flag vanguard on top of locking your dp

[forest orchid]

If it is at the beginning of an IS run when I want to promote and light the carrier?

[halcyon flame]

you take agents for that reason

this and the ware user variant with dp stealers

[round trellis]

Take agents

[winter belfry]

I mean you shouldnt be doing the lightning promotions anyway unless you have that specific relic

Its pretty easy just bring a medic or guardian defenders

[rigid siren]

the ware variant is cancer

barely managed to scrape by with two vanguards

[forest orchid]

The promoted through combat?

I hate have to find the fcking encounter to get Ed2 relic to just be able to Ed3

[narrow cosmos]

*and agents are just good.

[arctic panther]

ed2 relic isnt needed for ed3 in any way

[forest orchid]

But to unlock Ed3?

[winter belfry]

i assumed they mean to unlock end3

[arctic panther]

oh right

[arctic panther]

you can just do ed2 on d0 and it will unlock ed3 for the other difficulties

[proven dagger]

@halcyon flame @cold fjord hear me out: Gamiya for tanking Yi

[forest orchid]

How do u do to get the candles to get that fcking encounter to the Ed2 relic

[arctic panther]

if you’re going for the raidian upgrades though pray you have enough sanity to get you through those 5 runs

[arctic panther]

the encounter is randomly found around the map, i suggest avoiding all legend nodes until you have 30 ingots

[winter belfry]

You mean candles to move nodes?

You kinda just have to be conservative

The right legend node is usually at the outer ring

[round trellis]

It’s always the farthest one from the center

[arctic panther]

you can also choose to save your candles for later before you enter the bosky

[halcyon flame]

you could try tbh

[forest orchid]

Ok
it atleast helps me to know where to swearch it

[halcyon flame]

gamiya is a viable tank for ed3

[proven dagger]

👀

bet

[halcyon flame]

20 base res is kinda nice

[forest orchid]

how when I go to kosky make candles be conserved to later boskies?

[proven dagger]

s2 would be insane for her

[orchid hamlet]

First time I beat an IS6 run without Walter.

Not a single sniper voucher dropped for the whole run and I'm using the tianshi squad which means I pretty much had an overabundance of vouchers. But not a single sniper even in the shops.

Still kinda stacked run. Already had these before I even fought f3 boss

[arctic panther]

you get a choice to conserve them right before you enter the bosky

[forest orchid]

Ok

[winter belfry]

why not s1?

[proven dagger]

s1

i meant s1

[winter belfry]

oh

[proven dagger]

don't have masteries yet 💀

[forest orchid]

Only doutb nodes suck way hard and more the lp or the give 5 ignots for a chance

[forest orchid]

Why masteries in amiya?

[proven dagger]

why not

I've been wanting to s1m3 her for a while now

[winter belfry]

i just did s1m3 gamiya for end1 (and cuz of her skin)

[proven dagger]

i play 5*knights

so I'm doing it for the cycle + damage

[forest orchid]

Ok

[forest orchid]

I wont say anithing to a nicheknights player

[forest orchid]

[arctic panther]

what did nicheknights players ever do to you 😭

[winter belfry]

they are vile

[proven dagger]

i play IS like a psychopath

🤫

[forest orchid]

Nah
I didnt know about that and I decided to stop

Im wondering if the Boskys lines are equal or ramdom between IS runs?

[arctic panther]

nvm this guys a psychopath they dont have the guardmiya skin

[winter belfry]

random

[winter belfry]

fake 5* player

[forest orchid]

Am I a Psycho by not buying Skins ?

[proven dagger]

0 op rn

paycheck next week tho

[remote umbra]

Almost lost this ed1 diff3 cuz gummi was hit by the yin-yang explosions in the middle so the e1 mountain and e2 mlynar had to take her place.
Good thing for the 6star voucher coin and thorns alter s1m3 and +300% def from freeze risk coin. Mountain barely survived.

[forest orchid]

Unless its collab like Saiko or R6S ones I dont buy skins

[dusky cloud]

what is body of sui

[arctic panther]

go into a combat encounter and find out

[dusky cloud]

i did. I died

[forest orchid]

How mandatory is Exualter for Ed2?

[arctic panther]

not that mandatory if you have other good dps ops

[winter belfry]

Not at all mandatory but she is a really good pick

her barrier can survive the stomps at D15

[arctic panther]

did you die before seeing t̴͎̀h̵̬͑e̶̡͌ ̴̰̏h̴̺͛a̶͍̒n̴̛̜d̵̼̋?

[slate hull]

low dp cost, high damage, barrier + there are quite a few common ammo collectibles

[wraith warren]

And quite literally solo dps the boss with the right relics

[slate hull]

but you can use anyone who deals big damage

[dusky cloud]

I died because of the hand 😭 why did i pay 30 ingots for this im so confused

[winter belfry]

To unlock end3 and max raidian

[vagrant burrow]

ed2* erm

[winter belfry]

but like you have to win idk exactly what youre struggling on

[dusky cloud]

Ive completed the IS once on normal guide tour 😞 can i still get end3?

[vagrant burrow]

nerd emoji

[arctic panther]

beating ed2 unlocks ed3

[vagrant burrow]

oh i read unlock as unlock the path to

[forest orchid]

I do Have Lapplalter Mlynar Yalter Logos Kaltsit(with Aplha module) Eyjalter Wisadel Texalter Gnosis (still waiting to his Alpha module) Rosmontis (with Alpha module but I choose Wisadel over her) Leumen , Ela , Radian and Ling

[vagrant burrow]

semantics diff

technically you’re locked out of ed2 until you get the relic

[arctic panther]

i think you’re good

[vagrant burrow]

wdym can you “still get ed3”, you can always get it

as long as you meet the requirements

[forest orchid]

but ill 120 pull on Saiko

[dusky cloud]

alright i didnt know. Whats the reqs?

[arctic panther]

yes you just have to do ed2 first

[winter belfry]

beat end2

[vagrant burrow]

you gotta beat ed2 at least one first then do a special bosky doubt node to get a relic that unlocks a pathfinder node battle that gives you another relic that brings you to f6 after beating the f5 boss which has ed3

[winter belfry]

if your raidian is E2 it should be pretty easy

[vagrant burrow]

also there’s a little surprise at the end

[winter belfry]

just retry

[dusky cloud]

i dont have raidian e2.. im having a very hard time completing any run rn 😭

end boss always kills me :P got wisadel rn so its prob js a skill issue

[astral epoch]

what's the best start with exu alter

[winter belfry]

tbh I recommend getting her E2 first, just beat End1 on D2

[wraith warren]

You can start with both exu2 and raidian with supdef squad

[winter belfry]

And it should be smooth from there

Theres no rush to beat end2 especially when shes not E2, and end1 is just easier to do

[astral epoch]

I don't have raidian yet

[winter belfry]

if youre playing D0 just start with exu2

do support squad

[astral epoch]

Playing d1 atm

[winter belfry]

same thing

or you could borrow her from someone who has her maxed but its D1 it doesnt matter much

[astral epoch]

cantabile + podenco + exualter?

[winter belfry]

deepcolor is fine instead of podenco

but again it doesnt matter

[astral epoch]

Is there a stable emulator for AK

I feel like I've tried every one of them but they all have issues with crashing after starting a level

[tough wigeon]

I have no idea how i'm supposed to clear this stage damn ... , any advice? , or should i just always skip it ?

[tough wigeon]

I'm on LDPlayer for a while now and i'm not having any issues, have you tried it?

[astral epoch]

yes

[tough wigeon]

Is it LDPlayer 9 ?

[astral epoch]

yes

I've used bluestacks, mumu, ldplayer, and am currently on google play games

[winter belfry]

Skip it, its probably the hardest stage in this IS lol

Never do the emergency version

[tough wigeon]

oh, then idk sorry

[tough wigeon]

thanks , will do from now on

already lost 2 runs thanks to it lmaoo

[winter belfry]

like i said above

skip it

both versions are hard

the rewards arent ever worth it either

[remote umbra]

Wanted to see what the free option was about. Its only enemy placement

[lofty quiver]

I think I must have suffered a nocturnal concussion or been secretly lobotomized

My gameplay is in the shitter

I just wanna play is6 man stop doing this to meeee

[drowsy breach]

skip if you can't

I was able to survive it with 2 e2 medics

do you understand the stoves? there's other levels outside IS that teach you the stoves.

[tough wigeon]

i actually do know about the mechanic, it's just really hard to do interact with it in this stage, any melee operator gets one shot if it even tries breathing , plus it's too hard to get anything on the map before the black dragon spawns and one shots anything that isn't dead yet lol

[drowsy breach]

I was able to wipe the right side and then tank half the damage for a bit. Sometimes you gotta put medics first, and don't always place an operator as soon as you can, if you need 2-3 ops to survive a wave of enemies, maybe save up DP.

[flint token]

Black dragons are almost guaranteed to one tap anyone without invincibility (see yato and degen s3) or immortality (see hoshi alt and specters)
Alternatively you can use other nukers with sufficient initial sp

otherwise just skip lol

[astral epoch]

is this mistranslated? It still seems to cost me a candle to go through it

[prime mountain]

You can leave it, not go trough it

[astral epoch]

oh so it's free to check

[prime mountain]

You can enter to check what the condition is then leave

Yeah

[proven dagger]

[prime mountain]

Known broken unit aroma???

[digital wyvern]

What is the best starting loadout in IS6?

[astral epoch]

oops all dodge huh

[prime mountain]

Did they change brooch to actually be dodge and not be a shield?

[prime mountain]

The yet to get her yanese citizenship unit!

[halcyon flame]

im still searcching

6 hours later

i will find it

[vagrant burrow]

all on red 🗣️

[stoic ingot]

What’s the name of the bosky in is6

[vagrant burrow]

garden of grotesqueries?

or do you mean the node itself

[stoic ingot]

The node

[vagrant burrow]

just called wander into wonderland

[stoic ingot]

Is that the n1 prio when pathing

[vagrant burrow]

depends imo

[winter belfry]

for what

[vagrant burrow]

say i have a shitty squad with really good vouchers conserved, no point in aiming for bosky when i not only have few to no candleguests but also just a full reserve of vouchers

[winter belfry]

also i just realized youre a siestard too

[stoic ingot]

Affirmed

[vagrant burrow]

especially if im on f3 where you get reduced candles

f1 and f4 guarantee bosky, f2 guarantee pathfinder so they’re not really concerns

f5 just depends on the run, and ngl i usually skip f3 unless i didn’t enter on both f1 and f2 for whatever reason

[topaz musk]

How do I deal with this guy??

[agile hill]

is this is5 or is6

[winter belfry]

you just have to outrange him, gain camoflauge or use someone like leizi

[topaz musk]

6

gotcha I should probably learn to use leizi, I just finished raising her

[agile hill]

he either appears in wonderland or on f4, in wonderland, just use radian s1 to stall them. on f4, just kill them with raidian s2

[topaz musk]

I haven't had much luck using radian even as a maxed support, compared to a exu2 start

My best runs have always been exu2 and lemuen

probably a skill issue, still trying to clear D2, this is the first IS I have played

[stoic ingot]

Who r the best guards in is6

[proven dagger]

forgot to set may to s2 💀

[remote badger]

leizialt

[stoic ingot]

Other than her?

[remote badger]

no idea

[proven dagger]

💀

best it

beat it

[winter belfry]

leizi then zuo le i guess

zuole needs specific tongbao though

mlynar is fine too

[cold fjord]

leizi mlynar
entel is good for ed2 left and ed3 prereq
degen is usable with bloodbath tongbao
guardmiya can be good on some bosky stages

thats it

[still swallow]

my goat

[flint token]

Zuo le is silly at low diff

at high diff he just dies ig

coz his dumbass get cucked extra hard by talisman

[prime mountain]

Problem is you either roll too good on hp relics and he has 0 sp gen or you dont roll anything and he dies 😭

Also yeah talisman

[flint token]

mfw this bozo has to prio stabbing the guy he’s blocking over the talisman coz he is a dualist

[halcyon flame]

no? operators will do that regardless

they prio blocked enemies over talisman attachted to them

[topaz musk]

what skill should I raise on leizi alt

[halcyon flame]

2 and 3

[sinful sparrow]

post ros

[topaz musk]

3 she is just like myl right?

[sinful sparrow]

:mon3trsmug:

leizi s2 is mlynar s3-esque

[topaz musk]

gotcha

[cold fjord]

[sinful sparrow]

gm my goat :mon3trsmug:

[cold fjord]

Gm

[remote umbra]

Inifinite money, all of them going towards the Nian tile

[sinful sparrow]

infinite
look inside
12 ingots

[halcyon flame]

still searching

[sinful sparrow]

😢

[stray dove]

I love it when Chalice is in Ji's shop

[stoic ingot]

how do u lowkenuinly beat ending 1

those ghost things do sm damage

[prime mountain]

Just block him

Arknights players when they learn about something other than dps

[stoic ingot]

Can he not do the ghosts if he’s blocked

[topaz musk]

chalter broke me, then exu2 broke me again

[prime mountain]

He can but you can just, deploy another blocker after your one gets blown up

crazy

[sinful sparrow]

He still can, but blocks are cheaper because Raidian S1 exists

[stoic ingot]

so why am I blocking him

[sinful sparrow]

im not sure how this is a foreign concept

[prime mountain]

So the rest of your team doesnt blow up

[sinful sparrow]

So he doesnt summon ghosts near your other operators

[prime mountain]

Keep him locked on top

[sinful sparrow]

And blow them up

Duh?

[stoic ingot]

ah

kal would be good for that no?

[sinful sparrow]

omg its my goat furrilo

@prime mountain

[prime mountain]

omg its my goat mika @sinful sparrow

[sinful sparrow]

thanks for the chalice 150 ingot run yesterday

:mon3trsmug:

[prime mountain]

🙏 the highroll works

[sinful sparrow]

(i did ending 1 cuz the ed2 encounter was behind a confusion turmoil (vapid variant) that my ass barely cleared on F4)

😭

[stray dove]

Can't wait for Ed2 QoL in IS6 expansion 1

[halcyon flame]

yo jusan

have u find toolbox yet

for ur collection

[stray dove]

it's actually harder to find alterforms because they don't appear in stores

and are from RNG in collectible reward encounters or battle drops

[halcyon flame]

alterforms do appear in shop

toolbox specifically only spawns in shop

[stray dove]

lemme check then

[halcyon flame]

non bosky shops

[stray dove]

yeah i got lucky

[halcyon flame]

do u rmbr where u got it

[stray dove]

But look at this spread

Alterforms being the most

[halcyon flame]

yea it was the same for me

i was missing alms and key for a while

im just missing toolbox now

and ive been resetting f1 leader squad for 2 days now

[stray dove]

that better be prehistoric

[halcyon flame]

trust me it is

but do u rmbr where u found ur toolbox

was it in shop

[stray dove]

i never bothered rememebering where

only the relief

[halcyon flame]

real

[foggy oriole]

bro is it my imagination

[prime mountain]

Yes you're crazy

[foggy oriole]

or is is6 literally more rng

than balatro

[prime mountain]

Doesnt balatro have like 99% theoretical win rate even at max diff?

I mean is6 is the same so idk

[foggy oriole]

I feel like out of that 99%

it's like in balatro you can beat ante 8 with 100 times the score

or barely beat it by a hair's width

[sinful sparrow]

3% winrate

sorry bud

🥀

[foggy oriole]

Nope!

[prime mountain]

damn

How am I gonna recover

IT COST NOTHING

[stray dove]

next is trying to get Liu-er Encounter

[foggy oriole]

"the price may increase!"

[astral epoch]

._.

[foggy oriole]

"0 hope for even more candles!"

huh
is warf draft actually a thing

[astral epoch]

no

[weak pollen]

Hi all, can I check if this Tongbao coin is good for the boss?

Enemies +2k Def, -100def x25

[prime mountain]

Anyone knows if this is fixed in global/when it gets fixed?

[foggy oriole]

imo the upgraded ver is worth

the base ver is very cope

[weak pollen]

Ok, then I'll hold on until I have the upgrade.

[prime mountain]

You know what we mean by upgrade right

?

Forced ed2 run

[weak pollen]

Is it the one where we upgrade the tree with points after each round?

[foggy oriole]

do you reject the wife fu

[prime mountain]

no

its plan node

in bosky

you trade it > comes back upgraded

for the coins that say so

[weak pollen]

Ok, I'll see if I have any plan nodes coming.

[stoic ingot]

What skill on leizialt

[prime mountain]

Typical "it depends" moment

Known m9 unit

[foggy oriole]

wait m9?

not m6?

[stoic ingot]

Can u summarise porfa

[prime mountain]

S1 has uses too

[foggy oriole]

where do you even s1

[prime mountain]

Flamethrower stage on f3

!!!

Actually soloes

[sinful sparrow]

put the butterfly in the bags bro

[foggy oriole]

I mean so does raidian 💀

[prime mountain]

Raidian soloes literally everything bruh

[stoic ingot]

My raidian isn’t raised yet dawg

when do I use leizis s2/3

[prime mountain]

S2 when you actually have enough ground tiles to get decent range coverage, s3 when you dont

mostly

[stoic ingot]

Alright

Which for boss killing

[foggy oriole]

usually I leave her on s3 by default because it's less likely to dick you over when you forget to change back

[prime mountain]

Which boss

s3 better against low/mid res large sized bosses

[stoic ingot]

I’m not fighting any bosses yet im just scouting info

For the f3 with 3 of them which would I use

[foggy oriole]

I think s2?

but both works well imo

[sinful sparrow]

triple master takes s2

there's like 200 tiles for her to maximize damage

[foggy oriole]

imo both works for the base ver, s2 for alt ver

[gaunt bay]

s2

like most of the time

bosky and ed2 takes 3

[foggy oriole]

I still maintain that if you're the type that forgets to change skills a lot

maybe leave it on 3

[prime mountain]

Crazy take imo

Leave it on 2

[foggy oriole]

but what if tiles bro 🥺

[prime mountain]

Can someone make a lebron reportedly forgot he had a pathfinder node coming and spent hope instead of saving a voucher meme

totaly didnt just do that

[halcyon flame]

bro is not lebron

[slate hull]

s3 is very terrain dependent because of the balls, I usually leave it on s2

also s2 is the only one that hits air even if it gets screwed by tiles

[foggy oriole]

I sometimes try to hit over lanes and then get burnt by s2

forgetting to change to s3

[prime mountain]

s2 doesnt hit air

s3 does

[foggy oriole]

yeah that too

s3 is the one that hits air

[halcyon flame]

s2 hits air

bro

💀

both skills hit air

[gaunt bay]

s2 hits air

:lappphone:

[foggy oriole]

huh

ok

[stray dove]

which op?

[prime mountain]

Oh yeah right its cause the shitty range means you dont reach it most of the time

I forgot

[halcyon flame]

leizi alt

[stray dove]

ah can't relate

[slate hull]

my bad, s2 and s3 can both hit air

[gaunt bay]

s3 balls dont hit air

which is where like most of the damage is

[foggy oriole]

well the balls don't

but the smite does

[gaunt bay]

balls

[foggy oriole]

is that a sentinel reference bro

[gaunt bay]

sorry for my bad england

alyssal whats with the name

oh wait that relic

right

[halcyon flame]

il.l find this shti

i swear

[winter belfry]

cant you just do the ling node cheese

[prime mountain]

He did it already

doesnt spawn

[winter belfry]

oh damn

[gaunt bay]

lmao

[foggy oriole]

huh

what ling node cheese

[prime mountain]

Infinite everything thing

Turns out it only gives relics from a certain pool

[halcyon flame]

yea theres actaully quite a big pool fo non encounter relics that dont spawn from ling node

or in bosky shops

[winter belfry]

huh I see

[astral epoch]

i was so close...

that was

[winter belfry]

I was confused when I got a ton of relics from turmoil nodes after I did it

[astral epoch]

some of the most horrific drafting i've ever seen

[gaunt bay]

temp muel

[foggy oriole]

muelL

[halcyon flame]

cannot when i get you

[stray dove]

huh...this has some cons depending on how the enemy moves

[sick mason]

I mean they just gonna move around in place like a chicken

[gaunt bay]

that relic sucks dont tak eit

[stray dove]

well i gotta

simply because...

new

for index

[prime mountain]

New contender for worst relic in the game

Actual debuff

[stray dove]

blocking enemy. phases through

[wraith warren]

Who said ling node is rare

Got 2 in the same run

[prime mountain]

1/64 moment

[gaunt bay]

i still have not gotten ling

[sick mason]

Damn such a luck

[gaunt bay]

🥹

[stray dove]

fuck i forgot Old Tianshi's relic is making this easy af....

was about to say that the strat didn't change

[prime mountain]

You have humus and raidian the stage was free anyway 😭

[prime mountain]

2nd contender for worst relic in the game

😭

[stray dove]

whats worst?

[sick mason]

The fucking ursus UFO hurts a ton in this IS

[gaunt bay]

what happened here

[stray dove]

Sui Wrath IS version?

[prime mountain]

fear on 30% hp

I know what it is

[gaunt bay]

oh

[prime mountain]

its ass

[gaunt bay]

:joyplush:

[cold fjord]

yep

Its 10s fear

[prime mountain]

Scales with cc relics!

[cold fjord]

So its the worst

[gaunt bay]

lmao

[prime mountain]

[gaunt bay]

thats so fucking ass

[real mason]

does this mean IS6 won't be available anymore in 3 days? new to this game-mode

[prime mountain]

they're all permanent

[sick mason]

No it's just a notification

In 3 days, there will be new monthly update for IS6

[real mason]

alright thank you

[stray dove]

i would've felt the shittiness of IS1's temporary game mode back then....if i had a better roster back then

IS feels so shitty when the only ops raised is your 12-slot squad

with only 4-5 E2s

[sick mason]

I didn't even know about Arknights when IS1 was there

[gaunt bay]

is6 known seasonal gamemode tier

[stray dove]

I experienced the highs of the game mode and the lows of having such a small roster.

Mousse raised....just so I can address Big Ugly (Eun's Mech) Gavial Returns boss fight. Those were the days.

[prime mountain]

Silverash carry unit yep this is truly a y1 account

[stray dove]

not exactly

I'm 1 year late actually

just that I didn't reroll in Thorns' new banner

or missed Eyja's banner

so I was saving all my first PO rolls on Surtr

[sick mason]

Sighs It just so happened to show up huh

[prime mountain]

I got it to show up like 3 times in one run

actually insane

[remote badger]

mr highroller

[stray dove]

I only just got it cause i just beat Ed3 just yesterday

ok Mamiya just saved me from the arts-only-hitcount

those tend to be what screws me over in Feng Shui

[slate hull]

any way to get rid of collectibles other than lost and found nodes?

[vestal nexus]

Well that's my roster right now. Just made Raidian E2. Meaning I've beat it 3rd time. Took some time.

[slate hull]

I suppose you can just not take them

[stray dove]

ok so Charcoal Mask on boars....shitty

cause they keep their speed during fear

so whoever's blocking gets double dose of the dash damage

i can imagine same goes for Lancers

[sick mason]

Heh first time getting this Sui moment

[stray dove]

lucky fucker...

[halcyon flame]

ok

[sick mason]

BOI

First temp Lee now this

[halcyon flame]

does this show up in the relicqry or something

[cold fjord]

yes

[halcyon flame]

welcome back is4

[sick mason]

Dafuq

[halcyon flame]

💀

[halcyon flame]

is there two like in is4 as well or

[sick mason]

U mean IS5

[halcyon flame]

no 4

theres 2 secret paradigms in

4

[still swallow]

yeah

one hides how much hp you have

the other hides your ops

actually lemme fact check myself to make sure I’m not too much of a fraud

[stray dove]

it is

i'm hunting for them

unfortunately, i;m still lacking 1 rare paradigm

IS5 can easily be obtained since it's an encounter node

so guaranteed and higher chance

compared to IS4 and IS6's annoying rare hidden floor debuffs

[still swallow]

and also enemy health

there we go

[prime mountain]

Holy shit its Female tourist -----

[cold fjord]

yes
tho i don't remember where the 1% chance for sleep epoch comes from

[halcyon flame]

is that natural spawning or is it from special hour of sui

[stray dove]

Here I go again.

[halcyon flame]

💀

[stray dove]

oh....so this one was hidden in this encounter node.

Lucky me.

[halcyon flame]

well go find it! and find out where the blackout comes from too while ur at it

[prime mountain]

How much hp did it cost

[cold fjord]

blackout is fully random

[stray dove]

10

[cold fjord]

ik that part

[cold fjord]

but at least it isnt a 0.000001% chance bullshit

[halcyon flame]

fully random as in actualy floor climb

[still swallow]

can’t you technically also just go restart f1 over and over again

[prime mountain]

If you like cock and ball torture sure

[still swallow]

I mean if you’re playing is5…

[prime mountain]

true...

[stray dove]

that's my plan as 2nd monitor content

[still swallow]

two steps from the finish line

[stray dove]

if i plan to get Image Discern IS6

I do Leader Squad D12

hope there's only a path with 1 combat

EoT that 1 combat

go to F2

miss? do it again

zero-combat if there's paths that ain't double combat

sure it's faster than D3 Eternal Squad IS4 with triple combat (leak 1 everytime) but it does mean it procs ONE floor debuff

[halcyon flame]

better do it before expansion since f1 node gen fks that

[stray dove]

compared to IS4's 3 paradigm procs with 1 premonition to what's next

[cold fjord]

ok so both epochs are random after floor climb

ya

[halcyon flame]

lol

whats the other one do

[prime mountain]

Ok so stun mines go crazy in bosky fights no? All the hard to open ones

[still swallow]

is it time to call up uncle

[stray dove]

Was made possible with Stun Bombs

Stun bombs is always high tier

[cold fjord]

the other one is enemies have 1% chance to sleep for 5s after taking damage

[prime mountain]

That sounds funny as hell

[halcyon flame]

doom and despair be upon the mfers who thought this shit up

[stray dove]

I always have this in my "to-do" gallery

because it's just so annoying to go back to IS4 to just leak 3 F1 combats

look at F2

and do it all over again

and it was bullshit that I got Image Discern procs TWICE

i got 2 rare paradigm procs and was unlucky that they're both the same

[gaunt bay]

1%

[stray dove]

wait

is that a 2nd rare floor debuff in IS6?

[halcyon flame]

yes

theres 2

[hearty dock]

Wut are the optimal recruits for each class?

[halcyon flame]

happy hunting!

[stray dove]

give me a fucking picture of both rare floor debuffs of IS6

i need to put it in gallery

so I never forget

[sick mason]

Best operators for each class?

[hearty dock]

Ye

Is6

[still swallow]

first one is hidden op second one is the sleep

[hearty dock]

Also I Shud prio trag over radian pre dif 6 right?

[stray dove]

no?

[sick mason]

Vanguard: Well if u really looking for 6 star, Ines. Otherwise, Cantabile/Surfer can do the job
Guard (for now): Leizi alter, Mlynar (useful for ed3 taunt), Entelechia
Sniper: Wisadel (of course duh)
Casters (fraud-ahh vouchers): Uhh... Logos? Nymph?
Medic: Kal'tsit, Rose Salt
Defender (for now): Not much of an option. Shu is best at 6* for now, Gummy is cheap
Supporter: Raidian (obviously), Tragodia
Specialist: Exu alter (duh)

[prime mountain]

Always trag first because Raidian is boring unit zzz

[hearty dock]

She can't even clear turmoil for me at diff 5

[hearty dock]

Rose Sault??

[sick mason]

Surprise her S2 can actually help your ass survive ed2 stomps

[hearty dock]

I've been recruit amiya all this time

[sick mason]

Medic Amiya is also pretty good tbh

[gaunt bay]

trag known exciting unit

[hearty dock]

I keep getting medic voucher

[gaunt bay]

🫃

[hardy radish]

if u see caster recruit medic amiya

[sick mason]

But her S2 being "can only be used once per stage" is just so atrocious

[prime mountain]

Holy fuck shop rob has hands

[stray dove]

.....my dude it's kind of insane that you want 1 operator to carry a turmoil

[prime mountain]

The talisman spam goes crazy

[sick mason]

Surprise surprise lul

[hearty dock]

My wisadel can

Exu2 too

[stray dove]

so that's F3-F5 rob shop huh

[sick mason]

Lots of stuff in IS5 that's not hard enough they're now harder in IS6

Like ed1, Rob Cannot

[hardy radish]

u can rob aat 3F

[prime mountain]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE STATUEGEISTS TURN INTO DRAGONS???

[stray dove]

that means you have to visit shop at F3. My value-meter is going nuts to the shit value of such a move

[main bison]

how do you do this?

[stray dove]

same happens in F1 shop rob iirc

[hardy radish]

nope that's 4F to 6F

[stray dove]

Cannot turning statuegeists into dragons

[hearty dock]

Also this valid right?

[sick mason]

I don't think there's a shop in floor 6 (ed3)

[cold fjord]

It can't spawn yes

[tulip narwhal]

any suggestions to clear this fucking annoying stage?

the squad i have

[prime mountain]

These litle fucks

are starting to piss me off

[sick mason]

Yeah those cannoneers

I despise them the most out of all pirate enemies in Thorns alter event

[main bison]

advantage of top vs middle?

[cold fjord]

As it turns out

Once thorns event enemies are given more than 0 stats

They become very annoying

😢

[sick mason]

Middle is emergency version

[prime mountain]

Cant sandstorm their ass either

very annoying

[round trellis]

getting run over by a toy truck
getting run over by actual truck

[main bison]

emergency of?

[round trellis]

you'll see
