is-station

[gaunt bay]

but still kinda slop

ig he has the [yan] tag going for him

ig its fine nowdays cuz you dont draft degen anymore

[severe oasis]

reed being happy is probably the best thing in arknights as a whole

[gaunt bay]

so you can take him after mly in guard voucher

[severe oasis]

pre much what i do

[gaunt bay]

but that implies playing is4 in the big 26

[tacit oyster]

How good is he in the Sui Dream nodes?

[gaunt bay]

i was about to say 25 and then i remembered

[severe oasis]

i dropped is4 on december 18th as did everyone normal

[gaunt bay]

i heard scr*tcher is playing is4 again

is4 is so jobber with modern ops its unreal

[sinful sparrow]

bro hates is6 wcyd

idk is6 is like my favorite theme rn

i fucking love the vibes of the theme

[severe oasis]

playing is4 with exu genuinely feels unfair

way moreso than wis ever did

[gaunt bay]

vibeISer

wis in is4 is lowkey whatever icl

bro solves like nothing

[tacit oyster]

For the IS6 Bosky Nodes at A15, who are the best ops for which stages?

[severe oasis]

she solves carnival!

[gaunt bay]

all her feats are like doing trash lanes bruh

or en route

[sinful sparrow]

raidian exu clears 95% of the maps in 1 try on f2

thank you for coming to my ted talk

[severe oasis]

raidian literally solos more than half of the is6 stages on d15 and im not even exaggerating

what is this unit

[sinful sparrow]

it's a lot of the proficiencies

doing the hard work

[severe oasis]

raidian is fun to play atleast

[muted tundra]

meta

[severe oasis]

when broken units r interesting i like them

[rough kindle]

hundreds of is6 runs, and this is my first time getting this dreadful foe, didnt know there's another one

[muted tundra]

meta scary

[gaunt bay]

exu is fun i think

[severe oasis]

wis is not interesting.

exu is fun

[gaunt bay]

i dont wanna drop exu cuz shes actually fun

[severe oasis]

me too

[gaunt bay]

🥹

[severe oasis]

i considered it but like

[gaunt bay]

im gonna ban radian probably

i dont think shes fun enough

[severe oasis]

i get the dmg scaling per hit ammo relic

and how can i not draft exu immediately

[gaunt bay]

probably just gonna run

radian leizi wis ban

[severe oasis]

also im sorry but i cant get rid of trag

idec that he does fuckall in the endings

i start with him and sometimes he stays e1

[gaunt bay]

el gato

[severe oasis]

the entire run

but hes still good

i really am not buying the "trag sucks in is6" shit

[sinful sparrow]

i dont even draft him (i dont have him on EN)

[gaunt bay]

i mean yeah he already has like 80% of his kit at e1

[sinful sparrow]

trag sucks in is6 is taking 2+3 into account

cuz he does absolutely fuck all

[severe oasis]

i DO 2+3 🥹

[gaunt bay]

its the whole thing about is6 being too easy and you just draft role compression everything and get giga consistency

[sinful sparrow]

if its easy wheres your raidian ban d15 2+3

[severe oasis]

true

[sinful sparrow]

all talks 0 clear screen

🫃

[severe oasis]

i dont know if i can drop raidian lol

[gaunt bay]

i havent had the opportunity to grind it

🥹

[sinful sparrow]

excuses excuses

[gaunt bay]

lemme finish grinding the other shit first then i will actually lock in

[sinful sparrow]

i hope both of your pillow sides are warm

[gaunt bay]

i dont even have all the encounters

wtf

so toxic

[severe oasis]

the only thing warm in kiwis bed is me

[gaunt bay]

rose can i put my head on your lap

[severe oasis]

yes

[muted tundra]

idr get IS

[sinful sparrow]

integrated soup

[gaunt bay]

integrated slopping

[muted tundra]

head goes fuzzy during these conversations

[sinful sparrow]

sounds like taking dream curio too much

[gaunt bay]

[severe oasis]

curie ur like actually good at IS stop pretending ur not super smart

[gaunt bay]

curie for sgl3

fr

[severe oasis]

i agree

[floral mist]

[polar flint]

whats the strat for f1 cannot rob

is it possible to do leakless

[remote badger]

yes

check bilibili

the cn one

[sonic sable]

Bosky stages?

[stray dove]

Doing the monthlies really makes you feel like god....and also bored af

[polar flint]

💀

[flint token]

on the first day in the garden mr yi gave to me

6 vanguard vouchers

[remote badger]

lol

[sinful sparrow]

its not bruh

[remote badger]

emm

[sinful sparrow]

at least you leak 1 for the cloud dragon if you cant kill the statuegeist

and it's expected you leak a couple more

🚬

[remote badger]

oh wow

[pastel saffron]

what yall take when doing a raidian start?

windscoot/raidian/purestream

or

myrtle/raidian/ethan

[languid reef]

Utage/Raidian/Perfumer

[pastel saffron]

[sinful sparrow]

Humus raidian purestream

[pastel saffron]

why humus when scoot is yan

[sinful sparrow]

If i’m playing special squad then raidian entel purestream

[sinful sparrow]

Better match-up into F1 shop rob basically

Which is what I care mostly

You can draft windscoot later

4 Yan Doubt nodes don’t spawn every run, so he is way less necessary

[languid reef]

So Jie's shop is better than Cannot?

[pastel saffron]

do u put him in middle lane right

or whwre

[sinful sparrow]

Middle lane right

[pastel saffron]

oh so basically he absorb the guy so he flys and has 0 def

and also nlock those fat dusk event enemies first

[sinful sparrow]

he’s bound to die towards the end

[pastel saffron]

The entel strat I saw before

[sinful sparrow]

Humus strat is the same, except you place him 1 tile above so he can hit the shitters

[pastel saffron]

I was thinking maybe some of yall pick medicmiya at start since spare hppe

but zi was mostly right

[sinful sparrow]

Entel is pretty much a -1 every run even on D15, highly consistent rob

[pastel saffron]

I should start doing entel start

[sinful sparrow]

Can’t believe I am shilling entel

What is this

[pastel saffron]

How do you get entel outside of special squad tho

like u wont have raidian otherwise

[sinful sparrow]

Good idea, you don’t

[pastel saffron]

actually -2 supporter squad can also get entel

coz raidian is free

[sinful sparrow]

Or you draft her way later into the run, for hitcount shenanigans, and just learn how to F1 rob with 4*

[pastel saffron]

and similarly both -2 guard squad

[remote badger]

is entelless really a good thing

[sinful sparrow]

The ground/ranged squad can all get her + 1 other 6*

It’s so bad though

It’s fine

[pastel saffron]

so kts possible to do entel start on 5 swuads

[sinful sparrow]

I’m clearing 2+3 on CN easily with no entel

[pastel saffron]

What squad(s) do u run the most

aside from spec

[sinful sparrow]

Hoshiguma alter will solve like 80% of your struggles once she arrives

Def/supp hoshi raidian

[pastel saffron]

I am not even struggling that much

After playing IS3 this is a good breather

actually maybe I will

I havent attempted 2/3

because rose salt still not built

[sinful sparrow]

I run pretty much exclusively def/supp on CN anyways, because i don’t give a shit about self-imposed bans on it

[pastel saffron]

and waifu

[sinful sparrow]

I play to get a feel and just ban on EN

[pastel saffron]

[sinful sparrow]

You don’t need waai fu rosesalt if you play Exu

[pastel saffron]

makes sense u did say supporter is the most crowded ticket

[pastel saffron]

doesnt exia still get oneshot by stomps if u dont have good relic

[sinful sparrow]

At least maybe waai fu for Shen-Chu

[sinful sparrow]

Nah she survives just fine with no HP relic

The barrier is huge

[pastel saffron]

or I can try drafting nara as well

[sinful sparrow]

Boss deals 2.8k * 3

Exu barrier is easily 10k

[pastel saffron]

this is at a15?

wow 8.4k

[sinful sparrow]

If you have Shen-Chu hour then maybe you need ATK down, or some sort of HP relics

[pastel saffron]

game keeps giving me -20% sp one

should be fine

actually its 30%

I forgor idk what exactl

but its unfun

[tardy haven]

Gee I wonder where the butterfly node is

[pastel saffron]

prolly thr last node after bottom turmoil

[tardy haven]

Sarcasm

[rotund copper]

I got 3 whole cracked collectibles from just one normal turmoil node

@sinful sparrow 🫃🫃🫃

[prime depot]

anyone has any advice for ED3 draft? currently on pathfinder just before the f4 Bosky.

[winged kelp]

What's the good way to beat fisherman other than Entelechia

Man I hate fisherman so much

[rapid pulsar]

radian s2 gangbang?

[winged kelp]

Wouldn't raidian get pulled into him and got disabled quickly

[rotund copper]

Her summons don't

Well still take sometimes but they won't die that quick

if you have healer are you fine to go

[winged kelp]

Can Leizi do something

[rotund copper]

idk

[sonic sable]

Wisadel can

[rapid pulsar]

Leizi can

Help you kill fodder leaks

[lost anchor]

Can you leizi s1 chip the boss down twerk the boss to death

[rapid pulsar]

👍

[rotund copper]

I don't really like recruiting guards on is6 even though I pulled for leizi

evil time

[sick mason]

You don’t have Tragodia?

[rotund copper]

I have

He is just not on this side of the pic

0 deployment slot to use summons

🙏🏻

[sick mason]

I wish Raidian’s summons would not be limited up to 5…

[arctic breach]

Is it possible to stack a ridiculous amount of def with this

[sick mason]

I mean there’s no limit right?

So every time you toss it, you just get those stacks

[stray dove]

the limit being coupons

not exactly easy to get Coupons

[sick mason]

Ofc it has to be the dang coupons

[rotund copper]

ahahahaha...

My first ling usage after a century

[dusty juniper]

what does option 2 give you?

[sick mason]

Harder battle but very worth it

If you don’t want to battle, just go to 4th option

[rotund copper]

I have never tried that fight out

how hard is it

[dusty juniper]

is it the one with operator eating plant?

[sick mason]

Actually it’s incredibly easy since all you gotta do is defend the center lane

[sick mason]

No that’s different

[rotund copper]

can I see the map

[sick mason]

This one is littered with lots of Raidian’s drones

[dusty juniper]

ohhhhhh i think i remember now

[rapid matrix]

mother cauldron took 847 ingots, delicate bamboo 149 hope 💀 game still lets you upgrade them but stacks don't go up after 10. devs probably didn't expect people to reach 10 stacks

[sick mason]

Huh? The kettle strat?

How does that even work?

[stray dove]

Does anyone know which Bosky node interacts with Liu'er's relic?

[rapid matrix]

ling loop > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jJJn0HK4DcLEjzxhVFjjrXgkwdmsMzz154xTyQfv16g/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.514a2rid8dfu

[arctic breach]

Ling gambling is rather ridiculous

[rotund copper]

The drum bell item is even more cracked

15% atk for every coin toss up to 10

It's so ridiculously easy to stack

[stray dove]

I like the combo of Stir Fry and Drum (rare that it happens, both are boss relic-tier)

What Drum lacks is tankiness which is very important in Ed2

[rotund copper]

Any tip on how do I vaporize this dude fast enough before his poison kill my op?

do I just rape him with raidian s2 spam

[stray dove]

....

[remote badger]

maybe

[stray dove]

depends

depending on difficulty

it might be weak enough for constant blocking

[rotund copper]

I'm only playing on difficulty 6 for some raidian upgrade rn

[stray dove]

but if bosky enemies are no longer "Weakened"

no hope

try it then

[rotund copper]

Here goes hope and dream ig

[stray dove]

cause it's d7 where Bosky enemies are no longer "weakened"

[rotund copper]

instakilled

nvm

[stray dove]

see?

it's only in D7

where you start feeling how difficult the Bosky enemies are

[quick pond]

God how Amiya is legit good in IS6 cause now I have to wait to whole minutes of loading just to switch her class

[rotund copper]

I played up to d8 already

I just find it stupid to just have a sudden boost with both hp and def of elite and leader by 20% fucking high as hell

massive middle finger to physical ops

[stray dove]

that just means

don't do Turmoils too early

unless you had a very lucky spree of E2 DPS candleholders

[rotund copper]

more summons

🤤

[main bison]

Maybe? It's really hard to tell

[rotund copper]

using ling s3 and raidian s2 is like walnut and peashooter

[rapid matrix]

i took jessicat for a spin and just now realized i've -90 summon redeployment time. also note to self: need to face sad cat away from enemies for infinite stun works else she runs out of ammo

it's funny how she constantly throw bombs at enemies especially in her skin lmao

[vital ember]

Wait that's peak I gotta try that sometime

[rotund copper]

my opps will pay

[rotund copper]

Oh yeah I just got -90% redeployment time too

[sinful sparrow]

@pastel saffron why is bro pinging me in #help

my ass is literally evicted

[pastel saffron]

oh mistake

😭

it was a shop with -40% sp coin as well

idk what I did wrong

lemme do it again

[sinful sparrow]

you just position like that

and the rest is emergent gameplay because Cannot's potions is RNG

so either you do it easily, or you leak a bunch

[pastel saffron]

what skill u use just to be sure

[sinful sparrow]

Though for Entelechia, you would place the summon that's near Raidian last, so Entel's s2 target it, freeing Raidian if she gets talisman'd

[pastel saffron]

on humus

[sinful sparrow]

Humus s1, raidian s1

[pastel saffron]

entel I know I have vid reference from pard

[sinful sparrow]

are you playing class squad

[glossy phoenix]

Which one

[sinful sparrow]

bloodshed

[pastel saffron]

sui regulator raidian start

[wicked sandal]

?

[sinful sparrow]

bloodshed is essentially a 1/0.55 = ~82% final damage boost

damage is relative basically
if you're doing the same amount of damage, but every enemy has their HP slashed to half, you're essentially dealing double damage

[sinful sparrow]

oh ok

doesnt change though

just position the same as i did

i dont have a vid

[pastel saffron]

yeah I place him at top facing down to hit enemies that are blocked by raid s1

[sinful sparrow]

if you're on lower diff

best to start guard/vg

and take raidian entellechia

works all the way through d14

[pastel saffron]

[lost anchor]

why doesn't it work on d15

[rotund copper]

so many free stuff

[sinful sparrow]

d15 is +1 hope cost for 6*

so you can't take entel and raidian starting off

[lost anchor]

FAHH

[sinful sparrow]

it's best to learn how to f1 rob

with 4* nerds

[lost anchor]

bless yostar putting that shit at much higher diff

[sinful sparrow]

bless HG

[rotund copper]

definitely not a questionable op

[winged kelp]

If I place Shu on the dead center of Yi map. Will this works to reduce the bomb damage?

iirc Yi bomb explode before it enter the dead center right?

[crimson nest]

Theyre like smartys explode when touched each other of opposite color

[vital ember]

Shu will still take damage by the ones in line with her I think

[winged kelp]

Yea but iirc they explode in like 1.5 tile radius or something.

Not literally touching. What I mean is they're exploding before entering Shu tile

Could be wrong though. I'm usually skizo

[brittle haven]

https://youtu.be/GXgy5x3M0XI?si=aNwFvnbaor-WxqAF
What do u think of this

[winged kelp]

Acceptable atleast.

Unlike every supah video

[sinful sparrow]

arknights content on youtube

😪

[pastel saffron]

@sinful sparrow thrse ememies take forever to kill

I can infinitely stall them

but like

[lost anchor]

does supah legit have that accent or he just doing it to copy kyostinv fr

[brittle haven]

One punch man is voted as the second best anime in bilibili

Yes it's s3

So yeah, hatewatching very much exists

[sinful sparrow]

sounds about right

[sinful sparrow]

it's not arknights 🤫

[pastel saffron]

should i let em leak

[sinful sparrow]

no bruh

if they're infinitely stallable

do it

[pastel saffron]

wow this is like 1 hour stall

[sinful sparrow]

you'll thank yourself later

[brittle haven]

IS teaches people patience

[winged kelp]

How bad is F5 Cannot stage? Actually my first time robbing Cannot

[sinful sparrow]

it's bad

like

very

bad

turbo hard

[winged kelp]

[prime mountain]

You know the cannon guys from thorns alt event

[brittle haven]

Well RA is better for that but

[prime mountain]

yeah imagine those

but they one shot

and they get cannot buff

[errant siren]

And they can stun if not oneshot

Which pretty annoying

[sinful sparrow]

Cannot F4-F6 rob is probably the ultimate highroll check

[gaunt bay]

Hi furrilo!

Happy new year!

[sinful sparrow]

dudes out here getting Cannot's aggressive undying buff

[prime mountain]

Hi kiwi! yappy new hear kiwi!

[sinful sparrow]

and talisman having 50 hits and not dying

nice win

[prime mountain]

Talisman getting cannot buff on high diff is crazy bro

[sinful sparrow]

happy new year john highroll
i renewed my highroll subscription

[gaunt bay]

Heres to a highroll in your luck this year

[rotund copper]

There should be a badge for beating Nian in her gambling game

[sinful sparrow]

hope u continue to bless me with IS highrolls this year 🙏

It spawns on the border of the 5x5 square from the origin

The encounter is coded to:

• not spawn within the 3x3 square from the origin
• not spawn OUTSIDE of the 5x5 square from the origin

[winged kelp]

So I basically cooked?

Minimum relics too

[prime mountain]

Without relics yeah wouldnt try it

[pastel saffron]

@sinful sparrow btw if I am not going end3, but end3 doubt pops up should I pick option 1 or 2

[winged kelp]

•

[sinful sparrow]

first option iirc, is 1 relic + 3 hope if you chicken out

so it's...
sorta the same shit

[rotund copper]

The talisman in that map is the worst thing you have to fight

[sinful sparrow]

idk if the relic is supposed to be rarer or some shit

[rotund copper]

you are fried

🍤🍤🍤

[prime mountain]

Pretty sure its the same

[winged kelp]

Waow.. it's dogshit

14 leak only to get 4 useless relics

[rotund copper]

[rotund copper]

did u just rob him without caring about what he was trading?

[winged kelp]

It's free when I'm winning. Why not?

Also kinda want to try it

[rotund copper]

💔

free?

15 leaks for things you didn't even want?

you could have just rerolled the shop for op items and rob him

[main bison]

seriously?

a Talisman loses a Face-Off?

really?

[winged kelp]

This is the last roll i know what I'm doing
But yea this map need proper set up

[faint rampart]

any good IS players/content creators to watch for reference?

[winged kelp]

Pard maybe?

[faint rampart]

thanks, will watch them

uh oh they're CN

[sinful sparrow]

ew

pard

[sinful sparrow]

and whats wrong with CN players

the best IS players are on CN

[faint rampart]

nothing wrong, dont doubt their ability just CN has some ops which glb doesn't yet

still helpful tho, appreciate it

[main bison]

way easier the second time around

though, does Wang need blocked in order to take more damage?

[paper notch]

14? looks like 15 leaks to me

also uhh shit stage

[prime mountain]

Chat I just blew up to fengshui on the monthly

😭

Wasnt paying attention at all

[rotund copper]

Same

Only had raidian on squad at the moment

died

[paper notch]

same but i got my last 2 deploys on that stage 👍

[prime mountain]

I was one off

[winged kelp]

Yea.. wrap up guys. It's spearhead

[rotund copper]

Does anyone have video of second f2 cannot?

I wanna rob him

[main bison]

legit always robbed F1, so I dunno

[waxen marten]

Any way to guarantee ed2 encounter?

[paper notch]

uhhh. search every node in the bosky

sometimes you just cant get it

it is what it is

[waxen marten]

Feels like im back to is3

[slate hull]

the only thing you can do is grab as many candles as you can and always keep 30 ingots on you

[main bison]

Pretty sure you can, it's just further out sometimes (I think)

[waxen marten]

I should probably stop using recruit when entering bossky so I can have more candles

[rotund copper]

nvm it's f1

I thought I already passed

but wow it's a horrible map

triple lane to defend mobs that walk at mach speed

[pastel saffron]

for raidian mission should I use s1 or s2, I could use someone to make him really low and then let s1 kill

idk how s2 works tbh if the summons die

[waxen marten]

Is this for killing yi?

[prime mountain]

Just do it on d0 and have the summons on s2 just murder his ass

[pastel saffron]

yes

[pastel saffron]

nah i don wamna do it below d10

waste of time

[waxen marten]

I mean you just need radian last hit and s2 works

[sinful sparrow]

???

y r u a fraud

😢

[prime mountain]

yep...

Something something first run of the day doesnt count

[main bison]

Not how that works?

[waxen marten]

Using voucher when entering the wonderland gives me 1 less candle than just entering directly

[prime mountain]

Surely ente with -30% hp kill duck here, right...

She does omg what

borken unit

[rotund copper]

dumb little stage I can't even farm these fraud dragons for ingots

[wheat barn]

One of my best run yet

D5

[sinful sparrow]

allat highrolling for ed1
wasted 😢

[wheat barn]

Lmao

Didn't find Ed2

I wanted to waste LP to unlock the doubt, but I already bought all in the Sui shop beforehand, so like a portion of the map went missing lmao

[prime mountain]

3 fog machines

did the mimic replace one lmao

Back to back what the fuck

[iron orchid]

we love to see it

[prime depot]

which one is easier given my draft? i'm on D10

[prime mountain]

Both are easy clears just need to know the map

(with your team)

[prime depot]

it's my first time on f6 so i don't have the slightest clue what would happen lol.

[prime mountain]

First pic is the r6 event that destroy walls and stuff

second one is sui event with the dragon spawner and burn chalices

[wraith warren]

Why does that dragon never stop on unlit stage

Istg it just keeps moving forever

[prime mountain]

On which stage?

[wraith warren]

The one where u can send yr dragon too

Something unlit spark iirc

[slate hull]

the one where enemies spawn in the bottom left?

[prime mountain]

Ah well they just keep summoning it, it goes around the map

[wraith warren]

[rapid pulsar]

Does the second choice promote or just light?

[prime mountain]

Only light

Still gives coupon and stuff on returning though

Man ange is so ass, enemies too heavy in is6

Cant levitate shit

Wait im on her wrong module cause she's temp FUCK HOW DO I KEEP DOING THIS

[tacit oyster]

so does normal scout promote and give coupon, whereas light scout only light and give coupon? Never encountered the scout node before

[prime mountain]

Yeah exactly

[tacit oyster]

Is it worth doing in A15 runs?

[prime mountain]

Consider you only get 3 vouchers conserved at minimum at a15

Being able to light or promote a unit becomes very valuable

[tacit oyster]

is it worth over a regular combat node like f3 for example

[prime mountain]

Depends what else is on the path

You still prio pathfind/bosky

[tacit oyster]

or pathfinder and bosky

ah

but many times like F3 & F5 It's always pathfinder or bosky, but never in the same line

[prime mountain]

Yeah but then if you see scout leading into bosky, thats better than pathfind alone

sometimes

[tacit oyster]

Is it better to go to bosky or to pathfind if it's either or?

[gilded galleon]

Light + promote

[prime mountain]

The prefered route is save candles f1, greed bosky f2, if you cant greed f2 cause bad voucher, then f3 as an emergency, then pathfind f4 always cause its bosky at the end and f5 depends

F5 is bosky if you arent doing ed3, pathfind if you are

[tacit oyster]

So at F1, keep the candles, what do you mean greed bosky F2?

[prime mountain]

Try to do as many fights as possible

If you didnt get enough good vouchers for it, then yeah dont

[tacit oyster]

f, 2 coupons at f2 start

[prime mountain]

This is why class squads are goated

Free promote in shop goes hard

[proven dagger]

big phantom

[prime mountain]

omg cynik are you ente believer now too

[proven dagger]

yeah I e2d her a few days ago

i m3d her in a day

gonna m6 once I get the free tix

[prime mountain]

Might be worth m9 for some s1 spinach stuff but not sure

[slate hull]

Ente seems great, I just had to skip her because of the banner placement

[tacit oyster]

do candles stack with that relic? Ex. You get the relic with +1 candle at F1, but do the bosky at F2, does it stack twice?

[proven dagger]

she's really fun

[prime mountain]

Relics specifiy what they do

[proven dagger]

also love her VA and design

actual perfect op

[prime mountain]

If it says +1 candle upon entering a bosky

it only counts upon entering it

If it says next time you enter one

it does it once, on entry

[proven dagger]

im on f4 now

[prime mountain]

[prime mountain]

We love coupon on killing statuegeist

[rotund copper]

how hard is this?

[tacit oyster]

damn. It would have been nice to get F1 4 candles instead of 3, then stack it until F4

[prime mountain]

Pretty reasonable, once you think about it

[rotund copper]

I have -40% sp cost on all op and -80% on supporters

should I vaporize them

• 0.5 sp per second collectible

[prime mountain]

Yeah go for it

[rotund copper]

do you have map pic

[prime mountain]

Tomimi.dev has it

one moment

https://tomimi.dev/en/stages/ISW-SP_Duck_and_Yi

[rotund copper]

so many enemies

[proven dagger]

@cold fjord @halcyon flame I'm gonna do the stainless tech for Yi

[prime mountain]

? its just 32

[proven dagger]

i have chalice LMAO

[prime mountain]

There's stage variations

[rotund copper]

I could only read enemy number counts

Google fucking sucks

[prime mountain]

?

How can you not read this

[rotund copper]

They are just mostly fodder I will go for it ig

[rotund copper]

There is no pictures on Google chrome

[quick pond]

How should I do this stage?

[rotund copper]

just number

[prime mountain]

Are you on mobile or something lmao

[rotund copper]

yeah I had to switch browser

[prime mountain]

Oh god are you also playing IS on mobile

the horror

[quick pond]

Am I cooked?

[prime mountain]

With the units you have honestly? yeah

no melee carry

Got no way to clear balls you're just gonna get talisman'd

[rotund copper]

This takes 4s to use her skill again it's crazy

[proven dagger]

btuh

bruh

bruh

[prime mountain]

Raidian is broken, breaking news

😭

[rotund copper]

10 sp but take only about 3-4s to use her skill again

tragodia s2 activate instantly on deploy

🤤

[prime depot]

finally beat ed3 on d10. i thought i was cooked due to no ground unit to reveal invisibility.
somehow made it through using Shu's King Crimson and floating Leizi.

now i can rest.

[prime mountain]

run s3 with sp buffs

its better than you think

[rotund copper]

not now

There is also stove alight coin

I have like 160 ingots

I gotta go get it in wonderland

[prime mountain]

Ok and how does this make s2 better

[rotund copper]

I said not now

?

[prime mountain]

Ok but why not?

[proven dagger]

uh easiest candleholder battle ever ig

[prime mountain]

Lightning coming in about to one shot everyone:

[proven dagger]

i kid you not they only got struck by lightning once

[prime mountain]

[proven dagger]

yeah it barely scratched them

[prime mountain]

What was the lightning condition?

[proven dagger]

1 strike per 4 ingots

I only had 5

[prime mountain]

Bro is poor 😭

[proven dagger]

even though I'm doing a chalice run

i got tempted by a good shop man

[rotund copper]

Because I'm in a fucking fight??

[proven dagger]

free +80% ATk for me

[prime mountain]

I tought it was obvious that I meant like in general try to use s3 more when you have sp buffs?

My bad

[wispy owl]

Naoo

Went to see what exactly im missing for collectables and noticed there are 2 rare debuffs just like in is4

Time for another 3 months grind

[prime mountain]

They really made faceoffs raidian required too like

Oh here's an invis unit

deal with it only with ranged units!

have fun!

[main bison]

Oh that, yes

[slate hull]

there are also ones that freeze your units on hit, never pick that without Raidian

[iron orchid]

thats why you draft tsukinogi

👍

[rotund copper]

Which skill for leizi to hold left lane in ending 2?

[sonic sable]

Ange did jacksht against left side idk man

Could not even kill one whole

[rotund compass]

tourist squad is cursed it keep crashing if you have too much coin buff

[prime mountain]

use mumuplayer, I havent crashed in months

[tacit oyster]

who are the best ops to deal with the spawners?

[prime mountain]

Anyone with a lot of phys damage, they have low def high hp

So like wis s2, Yato alt, Entelechia, naran etc

[tacit oyster]

Would Ya2 do the trick?

[rotund copper]

?

[prime mountain]

Yep, run s2 or if they're really beefy s1 even

[prime mountain]

s3

[rotund copper]

ragghh

[tacit oyster]

So I should be using Yato2. Why S1? I only M3'd S2 and S3. Does the coin that gives vouchers make a difference?

[prime mountain]

S1 is the best skill in the game for large amount of phys damage on low def targets

For extended dps periods

so if you get the coin that gives them more hp, run s1

If you have buffs this doesnt matter and just run s2

[rotund copper]

Where do I place her

[prime mountain]

Right next to the red box I think

Oh im cooked

[rotund copper]

gg

[prime mountain]

Roberta tech save me

They got completely one shot

😭

Why this on ed3 😭

game hates me

And I have no healers candleholded so

run is over

[pallid summit]

i just realised elite operator touch + exu alter is kinda broken

3 sp every heal and exu alter continuously loses hp

[stray dove]

hmmmmm

[rotund copper]

I really died to timer running out somehow

not enough damage 💔

[vital ember]

What does this

[prime mountain]

Pathfinder fight, choose 2 units that will get struck by lightning which gets stronger depending on certain conditions

This one was tied to your operators attack

[prime mountain]

faceoff are so balls here 😭

[vital ember]

Wait what it's based off their attack

That's why it's inconsistent

[prime mountain]

It varies

its either ingot based, attack based or something else idr

[vital ember]

Damn

[rotund copper]

I was too busy micromanaging little shits and forgot to deal enough damage to sui feet

time really flies pass by

about 190 pulls on exu alter and I got 4 lemon instead now I'm over here borrowing my friend mediocre exu

🪦

[wispy stirrup]

Any suggestions on the best starting squad/characters

[main bison]

Raidian if you can

Exu 2 is a good one to start with as well

can anyone answer me a question about Wang? Does he take more damage if blocked?

[rotund copper]

Probably no

I haven't heard anyone saying that

only that you needed blockers to deal with amount of mobs spawning

🤤

[nocturne cape]

EM Garrison

Cangtong almost backfired

[prime mountain]

Doesnt he have dr for every ball on the field or something

[steady geyser]

can anyone help? i reached the ducklord encounter in is6 but which of the choice is the emergency battle? the one with 15 coins or the regular choice?

[rotund copper]

nvm I lost the raid

how the fuck does people rob cannot f1

[prime mountain]

I think EM is have killed more than 5 minibosses option, reg is 1-5, and 15 coins is just leave?

[prime mountain]

Raidian + ente

Shrimply

[rotund copper]

super high speed mob with really high atk

[steady geyser]

yeah that makes sense ill try that , thanks

[nocturne cape]

Correct

And you also get decent reward for killing 0 animal

[prime mountain]

Oh yeah thats an option too

[nocturne cape]

EM Duck is tough

3 f3 bosses + 7 dragons at the same time

[rotund copper]

how do I pass this f1 raid with just this

[prime mountain]

You dont

No healing you die to talismans

[nocturne cape]

Wdym

This is a rob

[rotund copper]

myrtle save me!

[prime mountain]

Just exu and raidian clears?

How

Im not exu slop user

[nocturne cape]

Just know that every e1 raidian clear might die to shitty rng

But basically just exu steal myrtle aspd

[rotund copper]

I would rather lose my game because there is a mega cracked item for exu

[prime mountain]

Dont need to block if exu just murders everything 😭

Truly one of the units of all time

[nocturne cape]

Raidian face down because she needs to kill her own talisman first

[sinful sparrow]

f1 rob e1 is so funny

[nocturne cape]

But this probably dies to a shitty talisman invuln into talisman invuln combo

Well played Cannot

[sinful sparrow]

turns out Cannot can just toss his potions in a smarter way

[serene jetty]

What are the best squads for the new IS? My singular win is with special squad

[sinful sparrow]

and raidian explodes

:YA:

[prime mountain]

True is6 experience

[nocturne cape]

Great

[sinful sparrow]

my sleep paralysis demon told me to play 2a4 instead of 2+3

[nocturne cape]

Now shes useless

[prime mountain]

Talisman should either have had natural hp burn or get cleansed by healing as well

toughts

IS is already very damage reliant why did they nerf medics so much 😭

[nocturne cape]

No thought

Empty thought

[serene jetty]

?

[nocturne cape]

Special is good enough

[serene jetty]

Gonna give it another try today while I do MD5 Why be in 1 purgatory when I can be in 2 purgatory

[sinful sparrow]

you can also play tourist/gvg/speccast

[nocturne cape]

All of which are objectively worse when you are still climbing diff

Special is THE squad to use

[serene jetty]

idk what gvg or specast are, and don't have tourist

special makes the early game feel so much better

For the random support start things

Which ones do people typically take?

[steel relic]

incantation medics can handle them!

[sinful sparrow]

not really

gvg pre d15 allows you to start entel raidian anyways

and a strong e2 guard

[serene jetty]

Purchase collectible, 4 shield, or 8 ingot
Thinking about collectible but couldn't it just be something useless

[sinful sparrow]

that alone is enough tempo to go to sleep :YA:

i've been really liking SA alter as a draft

holy shit this guy is goated

[prime mountain]

Reed degen back in meta surely

[steel relic]

surely

[rotund copper]

I still managed to make it out alive after cannot threw out like 6 talisman

[steel relic]

medic situation this time around is diabolical

need Mulberry for the random elemental shit they throw everywhere + Yan

[serene jetty]

I knew I'd regret the collectible start

[steel relic]

but she can't break talismans so you want an incantation

[nocturne cape]

Context was D15 where talisman apply burn and is aoe

[serene jetty]

8 ingots for a supporter buff

That's useless

[steel relic]

never pick that option

[serene jetty]

I figured but thought fuck it, gambling

Also is Beanstalk a decent starting vanguard with May and Exu-alter

It's her or myrtle but I feel like it takes awhile to even need myrtle

[steel relic]

yes take Beans

Cube will shill Myrtle but ignore him

[serene jetty]

I mean I love Myrtle and she's normally the only vanguard I use other than Ines, but for IS sake I imagine things are more complicated

[simple current]

is this special battle good?

[sinful sparrow]

thats not special battle

[simple current]

i only have 2 tickets to recruict

[sinful sparrow]

the upper option is

eh, i find it less useful

[simple current]

i m curious if this special battle good or not. what about light a candle for 1 operator?

[sinful sparrow]

special battle allows you to turn anyone into a candlebearer, provided they survive the lightning strikes

when cleared (said operator survives), gives 1 coin 1 relic and as much exp as an emer battle

lighting a candle is useless 99% of the time

the option is so shit

[rotund copper]

didn't know they can give buff

[prime mountain]

Thats bosky encounter specific no?

Still sad cause most sui ops are ass

[steel relic]

it's for going through Doubts using the 2/4 Yan operator options

I never end up with more than Shu Dusk drafted

none of the others are justifiable drafts

[gentle leaf]

managed to clear d7 with tragodia

but i just cant seem to be able to beat ending 2

whatever i try

[serene jetty]

Anything I need to know before entering Biding Time?

First special battle I've gotten

[cloud cliff]

how does big dragon hand targetting works?

doesnt seem to target last deployed ops

[slate hull]

most number of kills in a 3x3 area, if more than 1 possibility it picks the one closest to the left side, if that is still undecided then it picks the one closest to the bottom

actually, I think it might be bottom first then left side

[steel relic]

it is

[woeful adder]

Do the monthly IS updates ever add collectibles or new stages or are they mostly just contract refreshes/reward track increases?

[quick pond]

Should I play and save my tosses for Floor 6 or should I toss now?

[steel relic]

reward track

[serene jetty]

Okay Biding Time fucking sucks

[prime mountain]

No those are dedicated expansions

[serene jetty]

I survived with 1 life

[sinful sparrow]

avg

[remote umbra]

Question: what is bosky?
Heard this word a lot around IS6.

[serene jetty]

what's the incentive to do anything but normal route and avoid special encounters

They feel like just begging to lose all your life and fail the run

Had a perfectly good run go directly to hell

[steel relic]

wander into wonderland
we call it bosky cuz it's the is4 name

[vital ember]

They're the Sui world you enter at wonderland stages in is6 context

[cloud cliff]

Damn thats kinda specific. No wonder he always target my wis fragment.

[vital ember]

They refer to when you enter a diff realm for a bit in is which started in is4 where it was called bosky

[steel relic]

it actually started in is3 as wonderland

but bosky is a shorter name

[slate hull]

yeah, if you are using Wis s3 you have to retreat those and I have no clue how you do this stage without Raidian s2 for bait

[remote umbra]

Was thinking its an inside joke but wasnt sure

[vital ember]

Whoops

[vital ember]

Fast redeploys or kalsit m3 also work

Wait nevermind the peeps killed by dragon get their timer set to 30 iirc

So Any spare ops will work

[proven dagger]

@halcyon flame @cold fjord @open finch THE STAINLESS STALL STRAT WORKED

ALSO ENTE STAINLESS TECH

[rotund copper]

There were sui feet and spiked chest

good fucking game

[proven dagger]

12 ingots at the end of the run

[quick pond]

Am I good or should I toss?

[prime mountain]

The main draw of that tech would be getting the dr from stainless s3 and also healing ente

getting the turret to hit anything, kinda worthless

[proven dagger]

yeah he does a lot of things

well

see

the tech here is

phantom reduces redeploy time of himself and the clone every time he attacks

[prime mountain]

Also 🫃

[proven dagger]

so by hitting the turret

[prime mountain]

just get aspd yep

[proven dagger]

yeah

you see the vision

[prime mountain]

But how does this help ed2 which is the only relevant content in is6

[proven dagger]

I'll figure that out

uh

stainless DR%

[prime mountain]

!!! boss has phys damage

yep I see the vision

[proven dagger]

but honestly I find the instant clone stainless tech super fun

Tragodia cat doesn't work on phase transition, but Phantom clone does

for Yi

another win for my theatre boy

[proven dagger]

oh it's phys?

[prime mountain]

Yeah

[proven dagger]

nicee

[proven dagger]

i find his turrets do hit pretty hard on f5

pairs well with ente

[prime mountain]

This only means skipping on Raidian and tragodia and ange, all units clearly worse than stainless

[quick pond]

At the last stretch now anything I need to know before I do this

[serene jetty]

Any of these especially good?

[quick pond]

Vanilla Soda +20%SP Auto recovery is good

[slate hull]

the disc is -10% hp to all enemies

[fickle jungle]

No get training rod

[slate hull]

but yeah, the rod is the best

[fickle jungle]

Why take soda over training rod

[serene jetty]

the win is 5 initial SP and 1 SP per 3 seconds

Welp I took rod and soda

Guess I better not fuck up

operators are cheaper with conserved vouchers, right?

[slate hull]

-2 hope

[serene jetty]

I've got 5 hope on a wonderland tile, and I think pathfinder is right after

2 guards conserved

[proven dagger]

yeah but those 3 are also pretty optional

[serene jetty]

and my only candlelit op is Kal atm

[proven dagger]

draft random ops just like HG intended

[serene jetty]

[proven dagger]

[serene jetty]

I just closed that damn game

Already haunted

The sleeper agents

[quick pond]

Any advice or tips?

[magic plinth]

For is 6 ending 2, how long does the boss's claw/foot remain on the field after slamming down on the ground? In seconds.

I tried to count it myself in the youtube videos but it's always sped up.

I need to know how long I have to dps the boss

[fickle coral]

I forgot where to get portal on IS5. Where can I get into portal? I need to manage to get 5 portals.

[quick pond]

I think about 30

[dusk creek]

21s

[serene jetty]

For IS6 what guard is typically the highest priority to get?

[orchid garnet]

For IS6 Kalsit, is S2 preferred over S3 since it attacks all blocked enemies?

[serene jetty]

Except Mylnar

[fickle coral]

Ulpi.

[hearty plaza]

I kept the reserve caster alive

[serene jetty]

Only ones I've got like really invested in are Ulpi and Leizi

[nocturne cape]

Leizi

[serene jetty]

Well ig Leizi is slightly more invested

[nocturne cape]

Shes also more versatile

[serene jetty]

Honestly just tired atm so gotta ask, Leizi is S2 mainly, right?

[nocturne cape]

Ulpi has a terrible time into ending 3

Yes and no

[serene jetty]

I'm doing ending 1 because I've only won once

and the special encounters suck

[nocturne cape]

You use S1 and S3 a decent amount as well

[serene jetty]

I only have one M3 and I forgor

[wicked sandal]

leizi

[serene jetty]

[wicked sandal]

chinese mlynar

good at e1

what more do u ask for

[nocturne cape]

S2 is the generic skill so sure

Get that first

[serene jetty]

oh right I have 2 guard tickets

So that's E2 candle Leizi

ah I M3'd S2

[wicked sandal]

personally tho

if i have the ammo relics i go exec alter

just very fun to use

[serene jetty]

I already have her, but also not relevant to guards

Current team is E2 Kal, E2 Exulter, and E2 Leizi, but Exu isn't candle

[wicked sandal]

right

ppl call him FedEx

not exec alter

[nocturne cape]

Entelechia is also very solid in IS6

[wicked sandal]

i forgor

[serene jetty]

Oh you said exec

[wicked sandal]

i heard

but who actually got entelechia

like pulled for her

[nocturne cape]

I did

[serene jetty]

I did

[wicked sandal]

based

(i wasnt playing when she came out)

[serene jetty]

That banner was one of the worst ones I ever pulled on

Horrible f2p decision lol

[quick pond]

Should I be using Decadenza S1 or S3?
Should I put Shu above the bottom tile first to heal both decadenza(middle) and Covenant(bottom)
While Mon3tr blocks the boss and Ines to reveal enemies on top?

[wicked sandal]

surtr sibling things huh

[serene jetty]

I still gotta finish investing her though

[wicked sandal]

neither

put shu middle

to block boss

oh wait im dyslexic

[wicked sandal]

ye sounds right

save some dp first tho so u can put shu down when u put deca

so deca can pew pew balls

[prime mountain]

I saw deca and instantly tought about donut

sts2 coded

[quick pond]

Top will be a problem cause neither Kal'tsit nor Shu can reach Ines on top

[wraith warren]

[quick pond]

Maybe if I have Medic Amiya heal Ines she should be sustained?

[quick pond]

Wait what if I redeploy Shu on the top after she sustained covenant and Decadenza?

[trail hawk]

Question: How rare is Hour of Sui related to ███ ? Is it as rare as hidden Paradigms in IS4 or more common?

[quick pond]

Sui? I think you get that after you select the 4/2 Yan Doubt

[trail hawk]

It's not about Yu. It's about ███, fifth sibling.

[trail hawk]

Does it deal percentage of max HP?

[slender surge]

Probably a very dumb question, but i heard hoederer is good for guard teams, why?

Isnt he like bad bad, or is there somethign that happens since he was released that im not aware of

[trail hawk]

Hoederer was first Crusher Guard that figured out how to make this archetype good. He has passive damage reduction and can grant it to someone behind him. Also S3 exists

Not sure how good for IS he is

[hardy scaffold]

Guys, anyone else have game just hang itself in Garden fight stages?

[trail hawk]

Nope

Mobile or emulator?

[hardy scaffold]

mobile

and like, never, nowhere else anything like that ever happened

Music still plays but like image is still. Like i am playing Source engine game on PC all over again

[trail hawk]

Only IS6 or anywhere else this issue exists?

[true wind]

What's the intended way of dealing with all the suicide bombers in ending 1, it feels like a fluke whether or not they instantly kill everyone

[hardy scaffold]

I didn't play much of other IS but like never before in AK. And only garden stages so far. Even Ed2 leg + Stage with Texas Alter molotov dog (which lag game so hard for me it quits rendering half of molotovs) keep playing

[prime mountain]

I think the intended way is to change the location they meet to blow up, like if you put some units on either side to blow them up, the next wave will arrive and they'll blow up on left/right which is more controllable than right in the middle where you're blocking the boss

Can also just raidian s1 and spam bodies

[halcyon flame]

THE GOAT

[hardy scaffold]

At least for OG ed1 i seen strat with blocking boss after it stairs because then almost all bombs will just explode in middle and 2 bombs touching blocker at different tile can be healed by "normal range" medic/AoE medic with range increase module. And people have this Purestream start for early 2 Yan for gates in garden

[hardy scaffold]

[gusty olive]

For IS6?

It's controlling where the boss is

You gotta block them at the top

Just reached ascension15 on IS6. Yeey!

[alpine solar]

Are there guides to low op clear or solo turmoil stages

[errant siren]

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

[alpine solar]

Or at least what's the best candle guests to bring in early

[errant siren]

Take this brat.

[gusty olive]

Raidian all the way.

[alpine solar]

Some of these stages just seem absolutely impossible

Like the one stage with the 3 laterano sp granting pillars and the laterano enemies

Can't seem to find a strat to solo with raidian without getting wrecked by the rocket launcher guys or the executor who disables units

[errant siren]

Trashadel solo it.

[gusty olive]

Raidian again. Her S2 helps tremedously with blocking lanes. Her summons are very tanky. The rest can be what you have. But Tragoedia helps imensly at ending 1 boss.

[hardy scaffold]

My deranged strategy was so deranged it just worked

[alpine solar]

Yah this stage

[errant siren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/390756814532378634/1342699177905229915/373ef37edc7e57a483182aee3b49503236816755.gif

[alpine solar]

Seems impossible to solo with raidian

[hardy scaffold]

Crownslayer S3 just kills bottom 2 guys

[prime mountain]

Surely she does this at d15

[gusty olive]

Eh. Probably?

[hardy scaffold]

It will be problem for future me if i don't uninstall game from crashes in garden and FUCK ENDING 2 mid way

[gusty olive]

Those stages don't get more difficult after d7

[hardy scaffold]

they... don't??? Wait is garden outside floor scaling?

[alpine solar]

Doesn't work for the laterano stage I posted

Only 4 ground tiles to put s2 mobs on, 2 are completely unsafe and the other 2 take AOE splash damage from the rocket launcher laterano units which kills raidian

[gusty olive]

I didn't notice them getting more difficult after d7? Apart from you getting some nasty Risk Coins.

[errant siren]

I guess lea completely ignores my advice

[prime mountain]

Idk if tomimi.dev scaling works on these but thats what it says

[errant siren]

[alpine solar]

Do you typically start out with wis?

[foggy roost]

@nocturne cape some ops have E1 max, some have just E1 written like so. Does this mean Humus is sufficient at E1 lv1 ?
