is-station

[burnt hamlet]

He died

[wicked sandal]

bec the way the bombs work it depends where he is

if he's just at the top

the bombs don't touch bottom 2 lanes

meta is put trag next to blue box

and use cat to keep him on top lane

with a melee to stall like gravel or even raidian fish

[gentle leaf]

:( ending 2?

can we do it guys

[errant siren]

That's the neat part.
You click the Retreat button before explosion.

[wicked sandal]

yeah

very doable

actually

how many lives do u have

[gentle leaf]

plan is leaking left

i have uhh

19 i think

[wicked sandal]

is this ur first time doing ed 2

[burnt hamlet]

Then who do damage

[wicked sandal]

ok ur chilling

[gentle leaf]

i have gotten steamrolled once already

[nocturne cape]

that comp dies to high diff ed2 for sure

[errant siren]

Tragodia on bottom side, while you make Yi stays on top.

[nocturne cape]

can prob live the stomps on lower diff tho

[gentle leaf]

this is d4

[wicked sandal]

yeah

[errant siren]

If he reaches mid -

YOU FUCKED.

[wicked sandal]

but since they're asking idt high diff

[gentle leaf]

i also have redeploy crane

[errant siren]

[wicked sandal]

ur chilling

raidian can solo dps on 2

[gentle leaf]

so im basically just asking for raidian to steamroll

[wicked sandal]

u have kalt

thats a bonus already

[gentle leaf]

also free summons + buffs

[burnt hamlet]

Oh do they only appear around him

Who's tough enough to block him and survive the bombs tho?

[wicked sandal]

if i were u id probably just stall the boss ngl

[gentle leaf]

what dat mean

[wicked sandal]

let the stage play out first

[wicked sandal]

some people clear the mid and right lanes first

[errant siren]

You just spam FastRedeploy and Summons.

That's it.

[nocturne cape]

#strategy message

[wicked sandal]

so that they can focus on the foot later

by itself

[gentle leaf]

isnt there a time limit

[wicked sandal]

10 minutes

the mobs finish before that

[gentle leaf]

so if i bait out stomps on the left side and leak the shard guy should i be fine

[wicked sandal]

just a suggestion and possible strat ppl use

[proven dagger]

i just got ling node two runs in a row

[wicked sandal]

i personally dont

[proven dagger]

and lost both runs

🥀

[wicked sandal]

yeah

i mean u can always just play the stage normally

[wicked sandal]

but this just takes ur mind off of things

so u can take them 1 at a time

[gentle leaf]

raidian s2 right?

ive been using the s3 a lot more lately its actually kinda goate

d

[burnt hamlet]

Wait huh

Wtf

[gentle leaf]

yeah so i lost

if i leak all the shards it leaves me with no possible space to leak anywhere else

only solution i see is just get here and rng more lives throughout the run

[wicked sandal]

foot has 50 res

s3 arts

so s2

also s2 lets u easily bait

[wicked sandal]

rip

there's next time dw

[gentle leaf]

yeah but i leak too much on the left

i thought it was like 4 shard guys

[wicked sandal]

left is 17 yes

[gentle leaf]

in reality it was like 10 of them or some shit

[wicked sandal]

unless u also leaked somewhere else?

[gentle leaf]

i leaked 2 in the middle lane when the lanters came

[wicked sandal]

Ahhhh

[gentle leaf]

i could not bait left because the shards would get hurt

so i fucked myself and put the dragon foot in the middle

and i could not deploy anything

i feel like if i just had one good operator built

it would be easy as shit

[burnt hamlet]

Whats the omega op cheesy squad this time around

There's always at least one

[gentle pagoda]

MMh, I feel like vouchers are harder to get in this is

Probably missing something

[muted tundra]

what does expansion 1 look like btw?

iunno most of the additions/changes

[gaunt bay]

It gets easier

Also hai curie :3

[muted tundra]

hi kiwi

:D

[gaunt bay]

[muted tundra]

wait i heard something about

extra f1 combat? node?

[gaunt bay]

I dunno

Overall it gets easier i heard

Cuz u get way more relics

And like economy better

[muted tundra]

ew

relicslop...

[gaunt bay]

Its like

Inverse is5

Petal^-1

Expansion boosts economy

[nocturne cape]

Expansion made a lot of changes to node generation and pathing, overall a lot eaasier

[muted tundra]

oh whoa, tomimi.dev shows no new stages on F3-F5?

interesting

[nocturne cape]

they are hidden if you are on EN

[gentle pagoda]

Getting curbed in D1, what kind of decisions am I taking poorly?

[nocturne cape]

well ig there really isnt a new stage for F3-F5 huh

[muted tundra]

yea

[nocturne cape]

now that i think about it

[muted tundra]

two new on F1/F2 tho

[nocturne cape]

there are a few more bosky stages and early/late stages

yeah you are right

no new addition on that

[muted tundra]

surely the new F1 stages can't be worse than Veteran Actor

[nocturne cape]

i think one of them is harder

[muted tundra]

anything to make the turmoil snowball feel better

not even purely a difficulty problem per se

just weird rng leads to turmoil feedback loop

[nocturne cape]

uhh ig you do get more reward from doing them early? since you really want to hoard some coupons for F3

[muted tundra]

oh interesting

[nocturne cape]

the most notable change is ending 2 is no longer in a legend

it has a standalone node type now, kinda like prophecy

[muted tundra]

ooooh right I heard something about that

[nocturne cape]

so that helps with pathlocking a bit

[muted tundra]

so you still have to hunt for it, but you're not blindly walking into useless legends

[nocturne cape]

correct

[muted tundra]

• you're not locked out of legends

with <30 ingots

[nocturne cape]

and you are no longer scared to walk into them early

correct

[muted tundra]

yea

that's perfect

is it double ending only a la IS5? or is triple ending possible

[nocturne cape]

we dont know yet

expansion 2 is a month away

with expansion 1 you cannot attempt 3 and 4 in a same run

unfortunately

[muted tundra]

no love in yan...

ty for answering my many questions cube person

happy new year

@gaunt bay

wait that was so trippy

that was my nickname on tubby server until a week ago

actually might as well change here too

[zenith fable]

Bro what are we supposed to do on the turmoil node where they steal ur dp

[rough mantle]

Anyone got a leveled Raidian I can borrow?

[green hill]

Oh my god

I hate LDplayer so much

i was about to beat D7 then it suddenly crashed

[wraith warren]

Wow cannot really accepted 25 ingots

[rapid matrix]

[winter belfry]

drum for sure

easy to max out

[muted jewel]

I got to dif 6!!!

soo uhhh
what are the downsides when doing dif 6 now?

[gentle pagoda]

mmh, snipers seem to suck here

I hate how many ammo relics I get when they're bad with what I have

[muted jewel]

what is that stage

[gentle pagoda]

zalak event

[muted jewel]

the what now

[left ledge]

Rat event

Jokes aside, this is perro thief's stage. Just put Raidian summons to force him to appear.

[gentle pagoda]

[steel relic]

[gentle pagoda]

I think this has to be the most inscrutable IS yet

it's a struggle to get any voucher, let alone the ones you need

I'm already level 20 and didn't manage to reach the floor 3 boss in d1

[pastel saffron]

Sir

At level 20 I think IS shouldn't the the content you should be focusing on

You might want to improve your account

[gentle pagoda]

IS level

[pastel saffron]

Oh, how is your account

the IS is not that hard if you use a good 6* starter to get things going

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend looking at Cube's and if you have more time, Mika's IS guide in first pinned message for IS6

that will make it Significantly Easier

[left ledge]

#is-station message . Answer to @muted jewel question.

[forest orchid]

Can this Exuless team win angaist the Suis foot?

I have coupons to toss -65% redep coin

[gentle pagoda]

https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/orian34

It's embarrassing seeing how I struggle

[pastel saffron]

omg

Level your exia ASAP

she's like the 2nd best character in IS6

[gentle pagoda]

It's a confusing answer because it seems completely unrelated

[gentle pagoda]

oh? In what way

[fiery plover]

The four difficulties stage paired with the relic that increases ingots drop for chest is really funny

[pastel saffron]

Cube's guide even has the starter teams written down for ya, trust me give them a read and you should have no issues until you atleast go d12+

[brittle grove]

For opening and ending like most ppl did

[gentle pagoda]

I guess I need to keep starting with exulter

[gentle pagoda]

[forest orchid]

🥹

[brittle grove]

Playing dumb now

[pastel saffron]

big dmg, very high survivability, good synergy with atk and ammo relics, gives barrier to someone else as well, atk up for ammo based characters, S3 can double deploy Hoshi Alt, just overall a very good character

in all game modes she is a Top 3 character without a doubt, Her, Tragodia and Wisadel stand at the top

in IS6 specifically Trag and Exia are broken, and Raidian is the best operator

[gentle pagoda]

Your answer makes no sense since I don't have the context of what it's supposed to mean

[brittle grove]

Yea playing dumb fine

[gentle pagoda]

Oh yeah, ammo relics should work fine with her, I forgot it was part of her kit

[pastel saffron]

@gentle pagoda Just read these guides and if you got further questions just ask, they have pmuch most new faq

[gaunt bay]

Were twinninggggg

[fiery plover]

I didn't know the Nian node could have an interaction like this

[forest orchid]

🥹

[gentle pagoda]

I'm half dying because of the cold, and a whole new IS is pretty confusing

[brittle grove]

fair its winter, get a good rest buddy. Ak just game

[gentle pagoda]

thanks, I'll need some rest yeah

[forest orchid]

waiting for my answet

[brittle grove]

Yato s2, raidian s2. maybe ng mody for more bait but yea very doable if u patience enough

[left ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/nian-arknights-lick-bean-cute-gif-472536139691163042

[brittle grove]

Yato s2 also good for crowded tokens from spear dude

[gentle pagoda]

Interesting, so I need to focus on cantabile and waai fu

[forest orchid]

Before 50 hp: Rosmontis Radian and Lapplalter
After Wisadel tragodiaand Ethan?

[brittle grove]

u have enough time for all mobs too, before u trigger enraged phase. But yea its fine with that too. Yato and raidian will carry hard imo

Just do it ur way

[forest orchid]

also got 15extra lp for left side

[brittle grove]

I think yato will take care of it, but if thats ur decision sure. Safer ig

[forest orchid]

yeah
Specially the 700 arts dmg through bind/stun itll help me to mobs

[gentle pagoda]

Guess I'll need to grind some more before Raidian becomes usable

[rough mantle]

What the hell

[gentle pagoda]

seems to be a mandatory op

[arctic panther]

what did you do 😭

[fiery plover]

I won too many times

[zinc path]

plz m9 ros and buy her new skin

[brittle grove]

Happy dream>nightmare dream fr

new skin goated

[gentle pagoda]

I solved the cold issue by adding 3 more layers, I should get cleared of fever tomorrow

hopefully getting some IS clears too

[nocturne cape]

[nocturne cape]

isnt amiya like 18yo in the newest main chapter

[gaunt bay]

Cube stop

[muted tundra]

[severe oasis]

thats a #arknights tier slopscussion

[muted tundra]

slopscussion

[nocturne cape]

🤓☝️

[gentle pagoda]

Is it more worth robbing cannot on f1 in IS6? Back then you had to wait until last floor

[muted tundra]

wait that reminds me, can you not get shop on f6?

[gaunt bay]

Its meta preexpansion

[muted tundra]

or have I been unlucky

[severe oasis]

u can but not guaranteed i think

[gaunt bay]

Its not guaranteed

🥹

[muted tundra]

I entered with 125 ingots last time

[severe oasis]

nor is pathfinder

[muted tundra]

and no ch*lice

[gentle pagoda]

but for what reason?

[muted tundra]

guessing because it's less common to want to path shops

than in the past

feels like more runs end with only f1 shop lmao

[nocturne cape]

i think that screenshot is a pretty good reason

because pathfinder and bosky has such a high priority, pathing shop on later floors usually means you have to give up one or both. On top of that shop isnt guaranteed anywhere, so you are essentially betting on you hitting a shop on the later floors.

[gentle pagoda]

makes sense

[nocturne cape]

not to mention robbing it early means you get all the debuff coins out of your coffer, have more hope on the f2 pathfinder recruit, and better early power for f2 or f3 bosky

[muted tundra]

oh and ig side benefit is keeping up ingot count for elm butterfly

[gentle pagoda]

debuff coins?

[nocturne cape]

on D7+ you start with 4-5 debuff risks

[sonic sable]

Cube how do u apprpach that f3 stage withe the porcupines

[abstract marsh]

@muted tundra @gaunt bay next time use other channel for chatting. dont derail this one for non IS talk

[muted tundra]

[nocturne cape]

raidian bottom left with S2, 3 fishes pointing up towards the procupines

keep raidian alive with a healer

and done

[sonic sable]

Oh pointing up

[nocturne cape]

better if you have another dps character to do damage top

[sonic sable]

Never thought of that

[gentle pagoda]

I'm really missing out seeing how much raidian is mentioned

my poor raidian is useless for now

[nocturne cape]

bottom left is always a safe tile

neither of the 2 procupine directions will hit there

[muted tundra]

oh yea, I'm only up to d10, is the first coin retoss on d12 still free?

[nocturne cape]

no

[sonic sable]

U still need to deal with other enemies though?

[muted tundra]

HECK

[nocturne cape]

1 for first toss 2 for the following

[muted tundra]

so even the first goes +1

oof

[gaunt bay]

Bowomp

[nocturne cape]

fishes will murder them all

[gaunt bay]

I have never retossed any coins ever

[muted tundra]

okay actually yea I can see why getting rid of malus coins is more important then

if it screws up f2/f3 turmoils

[nocturne cape]

its more of a playstyle for consistency

shops are pretty broken later on still

especially in IS6 where you casually hold 150+ ingots

[muted tundra]

usually you only need to get rid of 1-2 of the malus coins for your comp anyway

ig

[gaunt bay]

Post expansion is6 on its way to average 60 relics/run

Is5 ass gameplay

[muted tundra]

yea iunno why i've skipped chalice in ji shop

chalice is kinda busted still

[gaunt bay]

Chalice so broken

[wispy owl]

Uh which is which

[muted tundra]

i'm new to f6 so it's weird not having an ingot dump

since collectibles are generally better here per-pound than in past IS

or at least that's my perception

[gaunt bay]

My lawyer as advised me against making this joke.

[wispy owl]

I know 2 3 pair same coloured is melee and candlebearer buffs

[muted tundra]

that sounds off-topic kiwi....

[wispy owl]

Unfortunately idk what i picked for ranged ops

Is there way to find out besides failing

[muted tundra]

oh yea does d12 still get the highest grade for these badges?

[gaunt bay]

It should

[muted tundra]

yippee

[muted tundra]

HECK d15

[wispy owl]

Here

[gaunt bay]

Im not a badge grinder

[muted tundra]

i like is6 enough that i actually may farm the badges

[gaunt bay]

I did it for is2 and it fucking sucked

[muted tundra]

is5 there was no shot

[sonic sable]

Wait cube those porcu take less dmg from back so if u place s2 summons faced upwards do they take less or more dmg??

[wispy owl]

Doesn't look as gay as past is-es

[gaunt bay]

Never again

[muted tundra]

[gaunt bay]

Ya but is5 u couldve done them all in like 20 mins

[wispy owl]

Im just doing it for single team

[gaunt bay]

Go lamp go

[muted tundra]

stimky

[gaunt bay]

D12 vs lamp

Genuinely 🫃

[wispy owl]

Tho i have a habit of 100% collection

No matter how rare it is

[muted tundra]

!

I'm assuming jie hour is super rare

per tradition

[wispy owl]

Not really

[muted tundra]

[wispy owl]

Wait wdym

Jie hour?

Is that the sui buff?

[gaunt bay]

Its very rare

[muted tundra]

the hour of sui corresponding to jie, that makes ops harder to discern

[wispy owl]

Dam i guess i have to grind d12 for it

For lvl 3

Or does it not matter

[gaunt bay]

Very rare still yeah

[muted tundra]

I never got it in is5

whatever the epoch was

[gaunt bay]

I dont have it in any is

Cuz this game sucks

[muted tundra]

I got it once in is4

[wispy owl]

Is5 was pretty common

[gaunt bay]

It only came after shifting cities

[wispy owl]

Like 2 times i got it

[muted tundra]

I also played a loooot more is4 than is5

[sonic sable]

This?

[gaunt bay]

I played a lot of all

Just never got shifting cities at a point where i felt it was worth it to take it

[wispy owl]

Yes

[gaunt bay]

And the. Just giga u lucky in is4

Bowomp

[wispy owl]

Yeah is4 is evil

[muted tundra]

s*rfer

[wispy owl]

Not only its rare

[gaunt bay]

Dont diss surfer

Smh

[wispy owl]

U have to lvl it

And by law its final thing that levels

So try not to lose

While not knowing ur hp

While leaking to lvl it

The harder to discern was easier to do

[gaunt bay]

@muted tundra have u seen the vision

Of canta > surfer

[wispy owl]

Can you show me how it looks in menu of is6

To see if i need to lvl 12 it

[gaunt bay]

The s2 exu2 talent ammo synergy

[muted tundra]

yea!!

i usually take canta because i usually take exu

also

so far i've favoured exu (mid) + ela (right) for ed2 dps

[verbal shadow]

curie

-40% sp cost

[muted tundra]

haylie!!

[muted tundra]

[wispy owl]

Oof

[gaunt bay]

Ela

[muted tundra]

ela in the big 2026

old habits diehard

[wispy owl]

So if i get it earlier i wont have last one unlocked?

[muted tundra]

I like ela

[gaunt bay]

Where are you getting the spec tickets

Smh

[arctic panther]

the changes are harder to discern too

[wispy owl]

At what d did u get it at

[muted tundra]

oh yea the exu+ela+ascalon run was on speccast dsfjkghsdfkg

[nocturne cape]

forgot

[muted tundra]

so comf for ed2

[verbal shadow]

would you feed ela to the devourer dragons

[wispy owl]

Ofc

[gaunt bay]

Feed her and then kill the dragon

Free mine proc

I think

[wispy owl]

Would ask the dragon how she tastes

[verbal shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/lemuen-arknights-arknights-lemuen-true-gif-15530840050156418479

[muted tundra]

use ela on face-off

free mine proc when the screen shifts

!

very important

[gaunt bay]

Does it do anything

[wispy owl]

Does it matter?

[muted tundra]

...no.

but

you get to see the cat

[wispy owl]

I doubt the mine last till u do damage to her

[verbal shadow]

cat

[muted tundra]

also

[muted tundra]

i did this

[nocturne cape]

urghh

i dont care

i am spending my 270 ingots

at the bottom path

[muted tundra]

I don't...think it was possible to activate skills in face-off setup in is5..?

at least idr that

funny you can do it in is6

FOR THE RECORD this was the zuo le monthly, of course i have my pookie's skin

[muted tundra]

crazy

i love getting a setup to pop all the spiked chests in that one turmoil

i needed the blocker tactical prop to stall long enough

[gaunt bay]

But

But i thought

[rapid matrix]

it happened again

[gaunt bay]

I thought i was ur pookie…

[nocturne cape]

273 ingots

here we go

[gaunt bay]

Its drum every time btw

[muted tundra]

come back when you can Immediately performs 7 frontal slashes, with each slash dealing 245% ATK as Physical damage to up to 3 enemies (the last strike has a doubled damage multiplier, and Stuns targets for 5s); During this time, the HP recovery effect of this unit's Trait is changed to granting a Barrier equal to 3 times the recovery amount

[gaunt bay]

Smh

Ur so cringe

[nocturne cape]

+22 relics

[muted tundra]

well i say that but zuo le has more reasons to go s2 than s3 here (rightmost op +2 block relic, fear on HP loss relic)

[muted tundra]

[severe oasis]

curie

[muted tundra]

rose!!

[severe oasis]

meow meos

meow

[muted tundra]

meow!!

[wispy owl]

Btw guys does anyone has the dragon encounter pick your relic guide

[nocturne cape]

1 sec

[rapid matrix]

i don't have enough risk coins whenever i find ling. where do you get them

[nocturne cape]

Melee

Option 1: HP +35%, ATK +35%
Option 2: Cost +3, Block +1, DEF +50%
Option 3: For 20s after deployment, gain +5% Max HP per second

⸻

Ranged

Option 1: HP +25%, ATK +25%
Option 2: Cost +2, Gain 2 shields upon deployment
Option 3: Gain Resistance, Spell Dodge +15%

⸻

All

Option 1: When enemies are unbalanced, reduce DEF and RES by 30% for 10s
Option 2: Each time a skill is activated, gain a shield equal to 10% Max HP (does not stack)
Option 3: Deal +50% Physical and Arts damage to Transformed enemies

⸻

Candlebearer

Option 1: DEF +50%, ATK +50%
Option 2: All operator costs +3. For each Candlebearer in the squad, Candlebearer HP, ATK, DEF +10%
Option 3: For 10s after deployment, ATK +100%. For each operator who becomes a Candlebearer in battle, extend by +5s (up to 15s)

unbalanced is a mistranslation, should be weightless

[muted tundra]

oo ty

[wispy owl]

Wish this one had names

[nocturne cape]

uhh

which one are you looking for

[wispy owl]

Actually i could do

[nocturne cape]

i have all the names but i didnt put them together yet

[severe oasis]

i always take candlebearer option 1

[wispy owl]

One in ranged

200

[wispy owl]

When i get them all

[prime mountain]

wait can you stack relics with this?

No way right?

[wispy owl]

Yes

[muted tundra]

I'm assuming there's zero way for activated skills to do anything in face-off setup anyway..?

or is there

[nocturne cape]

thats option 2 - option 3

[wispy owl]

Thanks

[muted tundra]

is there a weird corner case / bug where it matters

[prime mountain]

Surely there's some buffs that arent cleansed on redeploy?

Like I feel there has to be something

[muted tundra]

yea hm

that's interesting

[prime mountain]

I summon cube, bearer of knowledge save us from this dilemna

[nocturne cape]

I vaguely remember Ines S3 for faceoff

[muted tundra]

oh lmao

that makes sense

[nocturne cape]

Not sure of any real usecases outside of that

Ooh maybe with the new strategist in Ato you can buff your Def / Supp in deployment slot?

Hmm

[wispy owl]

Yup that was it thanks

Now i only need to hunt melee and candlebearer

Also

Happy new year

[prime mountain]

Yappy new hear!

[cold fjord]

Yeah there is some dumb ines s3 interaction

But i dont remember what its for exactly

[iron orchid]

happy new year IS people

[gaunt bay]

What tz are u goobers

Still 31 for me

[alpine solar]

are the enemies in ed1 random or something

[severe oasis]

its 4 pm for me on the 31st

[arctic panther]

imagine still being in 2025

[cunning abyss]

hi hello, i tried looking this up but can't find much on it. what exactly is this fight? is it hard?

[severe oasis]

theres diff variants of it ive noticed

[alpine solar]

one time i got the enemies that split up into the tiny enemies, this time i got those caster dudes that send out the seals

[prime mountain]

Its gimmicky

[arctic panther]

the middle and right lane enemies are

[prime mountain]

varies a lot

[alpine solar]

is there a way to tell what enemies you get

[severe oasis]

not until they spawn

[alpine solar]

damn, i always get wrecked by the guys who split themselves up

[cunning abyss]

so it's not really worth attempting then?

[alpine solar]

or those stupid dragons that turn into flying ones

but anyone else and im fine

[prime mountain]

If you have the one relic that buffs candlebearers promoted in a fight, then yeah they are

otherwise basically never

[arctic panther]

its a scam, you put ops on a pedestal and have them survive a ton of lightning strikes, which if you dont have 10 trillion hp/res and a healing force equivalent to a small hospital, is impossible to survive otherwise

[prime mountain]

the f4 double ones are either simple af or impossibly hard from experience

Like bruh one of them just spams flowers and sarkaz devourer at you

[alpine solar]

i thought iwas safe just killing the enemies in those fights

then some lightning spawned and wiped out the dude on the pedestal

[manic flint]

is the buff permanent for each battle or nah

[cunning abyss]

gosh x.x okay that sounds nuts

thanks for letting me know everyone

[boreal island]

Might be multitasking a little too much here. Might have to let the dog go...

[prime mountain]

Raidian s1 to stall instead of using her as dps on everything else 💀

You have shuuuuuuuuu

[gaunt bay]

Imagine being in the inferior year

[prime mountain]

2026 so bad nothing happened yet 😭

Oh no

[boreal island]

Anyway I'm never doing this again also no Pikachu...

[prime mountain]

bro is ending-maxxing 💀

[boreal island]

300 ingots and no chalice, IS5 broke me, I keep coping I'll get it . Christmas special

[prime mountain]

You can levitate the buff boxes???

Also wow e1 cheeto is a fraud

Spend entire stage shooting this thing

doesnt kill

[boreal island]

If 0 defense, marksmans would be good they said...

[prime mountain]

Give her a break bro this thing has like 425k ehp

[boreal island]

I did, she's taking a break from my IS6 recruits

Who needs offensive recovery when you get 2 sp every attack from a single coin

[prime mountain]

Mon3tr!!!

[boreal island]

Mon3tr in IS6... meh..

[prime mountain]

Yeah prob not great

[forest orchid]

I can finally kick Wang

As I unlocked Ed3

[prime mountain]

You can kick wang's balls 👍

[forest orchid]

What does different squad mean?

[forest orchid]

How painful is?

[prime mountain]

Not the same ones?

[forest orchid]

Doing special squad as Radian is included

[prime mountain]

It is one of the squads

[boreal island]

Like the team buff you choose at the start of the game

[prime mountain]

you cannot use this squad twice

[forest orchid]

Some tip to Wang?

[prime mountain]

Thank you oh blessed game

Cheeto comp when you already get sp on hit 😭 what even is her role

[boreal island]

50% buff machine

[prime mountain]

Real

[forest orchid]

How worth is Cheeto to 180 distintion?

[prime mountain]

If you're planning to play sakiko later she isnt terrible

[forest orchid]

I plabned getting Saiko

[prime mountain]

There is no way cheeto ricochet woke up the mimic this is so cooked

Half time degen perma spam time 😭

[forest orchid]

Which Ending Doing?

[prime mountain]

Will try ed2 or 3 if given the chance but likely to blow up

[prime mountain]

Bruh maybe degen is goated

Simply get bloodbath tech

[queen slate]

What should I do after getting the artifact for is6 ed2? Should I look for encounter node?

[boreal island]

sp relic carry

[prime mountain]

no you do fights to bring foot down to <50% hp

[boreal island]

Guys, should I wait on this?

[prime mountain]

scout nodes are good

they always have been

[boreal island]

So be it

[fiery plover]

When will the expansion for IS6 come to global?

[queen slate]

Ooh, that's why I accidentally got it the first time I got the artifact. The next time I got it I just ignore the foot. Thank you.

[heavy pumice]

rob him at f6 like a any gentleman would do

[prime mountain]

bro still playing is5 😭

[muted tundra]

what on earth is the point of this stage

[prime mountain]

What in the fuck just happened

Degen pulled trough a vagary tile

and he just

[heavy pumice]

take it easy bro
i have no reason to rush IS6 :ya:

[prime mountain]

teleported down ther

??????????

[muted tundra]

lmao??

[prime mountain]

Hidden degen tech

Why are vagary tiles able to be phased trough anyway

[boreal island]

Is this doable with E0 raidian and exu?

[sick mason]

You still haven't E1 your Raidian?

[boreal island]

Oops, I meant E1

[brittle grove]

E0 exu based

[prime mountain]

Yeah just spam the gramophones with raidian summons asap

[sick mason]

What Exu? Normal or alter?

[brittle grove]

Demolisionist doesn't have high def yea doable

[prime mountain]

1200 def not being high to modern standards is crazy

[boreal island]

Last time I tried this, she reached my exu and killed her while hitting the rocks

[brittle grove]

Crazy right

[sick mason]

Well those things dealt splash dmg

So better off not putting your ops near those rubbles

[brittle grove]

Myself back then won't say that

[prime mountain]

Put raidian top left and exu one tile below gramophone also top left, prob clears

[boreal island]

There's only 3 high tiles, not much of a choice

[prime mountain]

Heck even raidian s1 prob clears you can just block the demos and they get shredded by gramophones either way altough idk if it would kill bear

[brittle grove]

Just avoid splash and u will be fine

[proven dagger]

wait I just realized this squad existed

[prime mountain]

Live new stuff reaction

Wait till he figured out first class is meta now

Levitate relic works on invis enemies, interresting

EM version of this stage is evil, why are talismans so ass as a mechanic

oops 0 attack oops you burn oops you cant use skills

Maybe yato s1 to kill statuegeists is the play...

[halcyon flame]

What was their defense again

[prime mountain]

Basically nothing its like 200

[proven dagger]

THIRD TIME TODAY

[sick mason]

Lose 10 ingots

So the amount depends on the amount of ingots you have (max 50)

[proven dagger]

do I get net positive ingots from this?

if I start with10

[heavy pumice]

ah... :icant:
apparently still have skill issue

have few more hours game time
guess try again

[prime mountain]

Huh

interresting

[wispy owl]

Yay

2 cgs left

Still lots of relics left to get

2 coins

And rare debuff

22 ingot left to invest

[proven dagger]

mizuki can prevent vore

via shift

[prime mountain]

You can prevent the unit getting eaten in a variety of ways but they still lift 😭

[boreal island]

Back from a break, and yup S1 was the play. Didn't really use exu that well and she died mid fight, but raidian stall+towers did all the work

[halcyon flame]

youb can also prevent it by just rospillaring them

[prime mountain]

This isnt a scalar what the fuck, ed2 is evil as fuck

Its just flat fuck you 85s now

[vagrant burrow]

[prime mountain]

"use frd to bait the foot"

the humble 85s redeploy time

[vagrant burrow]

should’ve frame perfect undeploy to save your expendable frd obviously

[prime mountain]

I tried to but messed it up once

[boreal island]

Follow the bar at the top. After it's full, it'll go down and become empty. That's when you remove the op.

[proven dagger]

why the soh

sob

[prime mountain]

Cause sometimes you dont want them to lift so you can stall better

[proven dagger]

oh I know that

I was confused why that was sob worthy

[boreal island]

Don't mind if I do

[feral scroll]

what are the good ones here?

[prime mountain]

reeeeeeaaaad theeeeee piiiiiiins

[vagrant burrow]

there are two lions inside of me

one checks pins

one googles first

[rapid matrix]

finally did the loop time to cash in

[boreal island]

Congrats

[brittle grove]

101 candles

[old geyser]

use Raidian summons to bait the foot on D14

[prime mountain]

Fuck raidian, all my homies hate raidian

[sinful sparrow]

i would

🤫

[foggy depot]

When you really need to tank

[compact gorge]

How many enemies appear on the left side of the map

In ending 2

[sick mason]

If you leave that lane totally alone

It costs you 17 LP

If you destroy those spearheads but you don't destroy its remnants, well it's even more than that

The point is that you either leave that lane completely or you destroy everything in it (if you have less than 18 LP that is)

[remote badger]

shes a mommy....

[main bison]

which skin is this?

and this one?

I'm pretty sure that second one is Lee, but the top one?

[sick agate]

It says it in the name

[main bison]

I'm so blind

the first one I thought was Lava, but I didn't see it on Aceship

Cannot make it so enemies have 1 HP and not die?

[tulip narwhal]

if i keep the voucher and use it in pathfinder, did the temporary operator get carried away?

[gaunt bay]

Yes it gets rerolled

Just take her

[tulip narwhal]

thanks for info

[scenic saffron]

Hiii kiwi, happy new year :3

[gaunt bay]

hi hotaru! happy new year to you!

unfortunately its not new years yet for me

[scenic saffron]

Timezone so painful meow

[gaunt bay]

but best wishes to you :3

meowww

[scenic saffron]

Tyy!! You too <3

[gaunt bay]

<3

[remote badger]

new year new pains

[idle kayak]

faceoff or emergency?

[urban isle]

@supple vector

Press the pin

[supple vector]

oh ok

[urban isle]

First of all talk here i hate slow mod

Anyone good in your acc?

[supple vector]

ok

[supple vector]

trag and wisadel

[urban isle]

Exu start then

[supple vector]

wait how?

[urban isle]

You can borrow in is6

You can borrow in any is

[arctic panther]

only when you’re selecting your starting ops though

[urban isle]

He only missing exu

So might as well

Talisman a tad bit annoying for exu tho

[supple vector]

ye but like trag is 6/4, wisadel as well so i could only borrow either 1 or 2 at max

[urban isle]

Me when e1 wis only hit 2 times
Watching her hp get drain by talisman

[urban isle]

Yeah?

You only need 1 6* to start

[idle kayak]

what doees it mean by promoted via combat?

[urban isle]

2 option

1 is pathfinder special fight

2 is a rare tongbao

[supple vector]

i'm using borrow wisadel

[urban isle]

For the pathfinder special fight

It either really easy

[idle kayak]

so if I dont know any of that, it means I should just not bother with this?

[urban isle]

Or a tankiness check

[urban isle]

What your other option?

[urban isle]

Take the stir fry

That shit stack like god

Stir fry and drum is really fucking good

Then maybe the summon

[urban isle]

At worse 20% buff
At best
Insert 7 stack stir fry

[urban isle]

Is tragodia your own or borrow too

[supple vector]

own

lvl 60 module

[urban isle]

Yeah sure
Wis start is fine

What floor do you usually die

[supple vector]

2 or 3

[urban isle]

Oof

Massive skill issues

[supple vector]

ye i kinda suck at is

[urban isle]

Any stage in particular?

[idle kayak]

does it stack retroactively or it only starts stacking when I get the item?

[supple vector]

flamethrower stage

[urban isle]

When you get it

[supple vector]

the one with chap 9 mobs

[urban isle]

Floor 1 cannot shop stir fry is peak

[idle kayak]

oh then probably not worth it since it's last floor with no way to enter

[urban isle]

Raidian s2

[supple vector]

cuz wisadel dies

[urban isle]

Still better
It free 20% atk and hp

[idle kayak]

oh true

[urban isle]

While the pther thing

0 nothing

[idle kayak]

you right

[urban isle]

Anything but reading

[urban isle]

Let me find the map

[remote badger]

away,hui! ?

[halcyon flame]

Are you leaving her summons on the ground

[remote badger]

the most relateable map

[halcyon flame]

[supple vector]

yep i guess

[idle kayak]

Uhh I just got a faceoff against the special enemies? the duck and the bear, and as soon as the round began it said mission failed. What gives?

[urban isle]

Ignore the left side

When a flamethrower die

All die

[remote badger]

never use ground ops

[urban isle]

You have 2 options

[supple vector]

so just snipe them?

[remote badger]

kill the flamethrowers

[urban isle]

Yeah

[supple vector]

makes sense

[urban isle]

You place raidian s2 fish here

[remote badger]

its a chain reaction

[urban isle]

Or tragodia cat here

Just kill all the enemy that walk out of the red box

[supple vector]

ok that solves it i guess

ima go test this

[urban isle]

Place wis here

[arctic panther]

or yato here

[urban isle]

DO NOT FUCKING PLACE GROUND OP

I SWEAR TO DO GOD NO

Raidian fish is fine

But do not place them near any op

[supple vector]

cuz fireball?

[urban isle]

Or the fireball just kill everyone

[urban isle]

Yeah

Any other map?

[main bison]

this dude's annoying AF

[idle kayak]

Anyone know why my face off instantly failed? I chose the one against the duck and bear duo

[urban isle]

Let me guess
You used skill

[supple vector]

the one in sui garden where u can't place ops(the ones that remove dp)

[muted tundra]

does this work with is6 ed3 relic

[idle kayak]

Not allowed against them?

[supple vector]

i genuinally think i can't win this map without ines or anything like that

[muted tundra]

i mean silly question since ig it works with the weiqi stones which is almost as good

[supple vector]

to kill the guys that steal dp

[urban isle]

I guess so

[idle kayak]

Didn't know that, was that mentioned anywhere?

[urban isle]

Idk tbh
I used wis skill
Boom
Lost

[idle kayak]

Oh that's also who I deployed lmao

I see

[urban isle]

Same braincell

[idle kayak]

alright just reroll them next time got it

[arctic panther]

i use skills in faceoff and im perfectly fine

[urban isle]

Tbh
It wisadel so idk
It could be due to skill
Or the fact wis deploy extra stuff

Like the rock

[urban isle]

You don't tbh

That map is just a bitch like that

That

And the four difficulty

The one with 4 enemy version

[supple vector]

ye i straight up hate that map

[main bison]

my luck tonight is awful

[supple vector]

other than that i struggle in the one with the rock guy that permastuns

[main bison]

never again with this coin

[supple vector]

never got it but it looks like it sucks

[idle kayak]

just get it once for completion then retoss lol

[urban isle]

One rock dude
And another one that give everyone poison haze if not blocked?

[supple vector]

ye

[urban isle]

Have you tried using wisadel?

[supple vector]

ye but when i don't have her e2 i just cope and seethe

[urban isle]

Hasn't seen it bruh
M9 mod 3 raidian btw

[urban isle]

No rock?

Anyway

I still prefer entering sui floor 1

[main bison]

yeah, lost my run because of it

[urban isle]

Early node is usually not a fight

To i walk in

5 candle

[main bison]

I'm sure the crazy amount of HP loss on F3 boss didn't help

[urban isle]

Get shop

[supple vector]

rip

[urban isle]

Get some voucher

[idle kayak]

probably gonna start getting it a lot once you dont need it anymore

[urban isle]

I will be back in is3

SAVE MEEE

[supple vector]

ye i think i'll try that

[urban isle]

I rather play different game

Then is3

[urban isle]

Show acc

Build your ethan now

Idc who you are

[supple vector]

i would only play is3 for the menu background

[urban isle]

If your ass don't have ascalon

Where is your e2 mod 3 ethan

[supple vector]

ye i found myself held at gunpoint after i saw that ethan is present in 99% of some runs

[urban isle]

You can run
You can hide
But the chameleon always got you in a chokehold

look down
He rooting your leg

[supple vector]

that fucking chameleon that i hate

[urban isle]

Also

Don't rob cannot floor 4 and 5

[sinful sparrow]

why s2

raidian s3 literally murks this stage with 5 planes

[urban isle]

Yeah sure
He was struggling with the flamethrowers
And there
1 whole tile

[sinful sparrow]

have you tried

using her skill

???

im not sure how raidian S2 would be better

[urban isle]

Both work

[urban isle]

Not like it worse

[idle kayak]

is there a trick to this map to ignore the left side?

[urban isle]

Raidian or tragodia

There like

2 or 3 version

The first is the exploding yin and yang mob

The second is uhhh

3 spin thing=beam

[idle kayak]

Oooh so that's why sometimes I check enemies and it's unknowns didnt know that

[urban isle]

Each stage have like 2 version

[idle kayak]

I see

[urban isle]

Nah you don't
It all unknown

[main bison]

wow, I literally have no idea how to use Exu S3

I think I spent about 18 attempts at the same Bosky map

literally the worst luck all night long

these recruit options are doing me no favors

like what even this this?

also, Surfer flat sucks

[supple vector]

exu s2 is way better in my opinion

i would only use s3 on things like surtr

[main bison]

well, I was doing that Bosky stage where there were the DP sucking guys

it took me probably 8 attempts and I still didn't clear it

[frozen bobcat]

which Rosmontis skills should i upgrade for IS?

[main bison]

S2

[frozen bobcat]

thats it?
i already borrowed to try s2 but it seems underwhelming

[main bison]

she's not that great unless it's IS5 with Lamp

[cinder hamlet]

risky ahh run

[flint token]

im starting to think raidian s2 might be better for cannot rob

on f4 f5

[main bison]

I've only really robbed F1

but do tell

[sinful sparrow]

theres 2 variant

• Smartie left side: ignore and they will clear on their own
• revenant left side: you need to kill it or it'll harass you

[winged kelp]

It's still happening eh.

Ffs
They one shot everything. It's literally wrap up

[idle kayak]

If it's the explosive thingy on the left I can ignore it all throughout?

[inland elbow]

Might want to adjust your draft/learn how to play this stage

You can't really afford to dodge stages in is3, especially when they're regs

[winged kelp]

Adjusting to Mostima, Horn niche for Out of Control just to lose by something else?

[inland elbow]

uh, no one uses those

what ops do you use right now

[winged kelp]

Trag, Exu (Corrupted), Wis (Corrupted), Ulp, Ines (Corrupted), Texalt

[inland elbow]

yeah this is super free

[winged kelp]

What?

[inland elbow]

put wis on s2

and you can manipulate the spawn of the revenant by placing anything below her

then her s2 kills both throwers

[winged kelp]

She will die in like 1 second once they start moving

[astral epoch]

Should I be hitting pathfinder nodes basically every floor

[inland elbow]

so wis solos the top easily

bro, she kills them on s2

[winged kelp]

This is Difficulty 18

You don't do that simple shit

[inland elbow]

lol

this literally works relicless on d18

they have 160399 hp

wis total damage on s2 is way more than that

[winged kelp]

Solo the three side!

?

That's gotta be a joke

[inland elbow]

she kills the bonethrower on 6,4 and 8,1

and most of the top

I assume ur using s3 on wis

which has way worse total damage

and probably not using wis in the correct position so you don't even get both throwers

[winged kelp]

It's one fking HP left. You can play your greatest run and you would still get wrecked by oopsy daisy.

[alpine sparrow]

how many times do you have to beat Sui's leg to get the final trigger for Ed2?

[inland elbow]

for reference, wis s2 total damage is 155k before IS buffs and before relics

[winged kelp]

Unless you eyeballing guide or something

[alpine sparrow]

is once enough?

[inland elbow]

I am the guide maker
