is-station

[gentle pagoda]

isn't leizi bad here? Only good for yan filler

[raw hemlock]

which reserve ops should be ditched for the ed1 battle?

[tacit oyster]

we mean leizialt here

[raw hemlock]

yea

[gentle pagoda]

lei2i

[tacit oyster]

who are your best ops so far?

[raw hemlock]

never met base unit leizi thanks to some bad inactivity streaks, just have leizi2

[raw hemlock]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i just know the vg reserve op gets murked pretty fast

[tacit oyster]

yeah 3* ops are doa lategame

[gentle pagoda]

back in my days kroos was top tier

[raw hemlock]

which skill does myrtle use?

[tacit oyster]

she still is to me

[arctic panther]

1

always

forever

never use s2

[raw hemlock]

kroos best low-rarity sniper

[raw hemlock]

:(

[tacit oyster]

0 hope, offensive skill, AND synthesizes well with cheeto

[raw hemlock]

cheeto??????????

[arctic panther]

if you want heals from a non medic draft haruka or smth

[alpine solar]

what skill to master for mizuki for is6 use

[faint rampart]

S2

[alpine solar]

ty

[wary yacht]

May 😔

[raw hemlock]

not owned

[faint rampart]

soon you will

[wary yacht]

for all we know haruka could already be in the game and someone could get her as a temp recruit

[tacit oyster]

different oprator. For now, don't focus on 3* for IS6

[raw hemlock]

So ditch the 3* sniper and defender?

[alpine solar]

so #help lied and downplayed how good ente was in is6 or no

[wary yacht]

Yeah the reserves are really only there to fill until you recruit your operators

[faint rampart]

wha

[tacit oyster]

Switch them out for units with skills

[faint rampart]

[raw hemlock]

I got no other units

only have 9 non-reserve ops

[alpine solar]

back when her banner came out i recall someone asking usefulneess of ente in upcoming is and they said she is only good for lower difficulty or something and still not worth pulling

[tacit oyster]

then switch them out when you can, but for now, they fill slots and that's good enough

[raw hemlock]

I think it's too late to switch out, that pathfinder node was the last one before the prophecy node

[alpine solar]

is mizuki s3 also used in is or no

i already have skill 1 mastered

[wary yacht]

I’d say the skill you use depends on the map

[alpine solar]

is mizuki an m9 candidate?

[steel relic]

That would’ve been about is5

Which is true

[gentle pagoda]

did that cannot fake fucker make a talisman unkillable

[wary yacht]

Sometimes you might just want s3 for the bigger range or you have good enough relics to basically have it up most of the time

[gentle pagoda]

exulter lost her whole ammo to this 🥹

[tacit oyster]

then good luck. Entel, Naran and Lei2i are already doing a lot. Also use cantabille S1 to generate DP faster

[faint rampart]

yea his potion/spell idk

[gentle pagoda]

well that was shit

[raw hemlock]

Which tongbao should I flip for the battle to hopefully survive?

[gentle pagoda]

martial fight is always easy win

[rough pilot]

What even 😭

[muted tundra]

gg
is2 balancing makes phys so awkward because archetto is decent at d14 but sucks at d15

[gentle pagoda]

that fight is funny

[muted tundra]

peashooter on f5 and f6

[raw hemlock]

tried to toss to get bloodshed and martial fighting, I am out of coupons and onlt got bloodshed, hoarfrost, and dry heat

[gentle pagoda]

lappilap will clear out most of the flaws on her own, just need to clear out the right top flaw so she doesn't die

[rough pilot]

Never getting curious about options I’ve never seen in nodes again when I just want to unlock the next difficulty

[raw hemlock]

at least i got max stacks on the drum

[gentle pagoda]

prob better to find new endings before getting higher diff

[rough pilot]

Tryina speedrun my way to 10 to finish maxing out radian

[alpine solar]

why do the shield guard just wait at the top lane to get eaten, are they stupid

[muted tundra]

oh god andjshfjsjsjdn

okay so

[nocturne cape]

its the infamous 1+2

[muted tundra]

TIL

[nocturne cape]

[faint rampart]

only 1 lp...

[muted tundra]

if you get foot to 50% but end of times the fight

it resets foot progress

[muted tundra]

yea end of times on emer magashan because I had scuffed foot setup

[nocturne cape]

i didnt know that

[muted tundra]

because I'm dumb

[nocturne cape]

learned something new

[muted tundra]

yea, crazy

[faint rampart]

cooked🥹

[gentle pagoda]

starting floor 2 with this

[wary yacht]

holy vouchers

[surreal vapor]

chalter in the big '26

[raw hemlock]

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[sonic sable]

The right side of ed2 becomes s problem in low roll runs. When raidian summons r not enough. What should i do?

[nocturne cape]

squeeze them into exu range

[alpine solar]

why is it that on this stage sometimes these enemies just ignore the box placement

[wary yacht]

They spawn in the box

So they go through it

[sonic sable]

So much going on

[nocturne cape]

ik

[alpine solar]

oh i see

[raw hemlock]

ok i got 21 life points, 2 objective shield, and no raidian, time for ed1-

[wary yacht]

I’d also just use raidian s2 for that stage

[alpine solar]

ah ok

[raw hemlock]

wait

what skills does everyone get

[alpine solar]

cause i had so many times where i killed the big guy on a not box tile and they still spawned those smaller things into the box

[raw hemlock]

I dont wanna have a skill flub again

[wary yacht]

Yeah i’d try to kill them on around the middle column tile

[alpine solar]

also once it's tossed, i can safely replace it even though it hasnt changed into dayan tongbao?

it keeps warning me ill lose the effects if i replace it

[wary yacht]

two fishes should just keep them from getting too close to the boxes

[raw hemlock]

i think so

you already got the +1 hope

[wary yacht]

If it’s already taken effect and does nothing else then yeah just replace them

[alpine solar]

just making sure cause when i replace dayan i dont get any warnings but when i replace even a tossed coin that turns into dayan i get a warning about losing the effect

[raw hemlock]

it does that for every non-dayan

[wary yacht]

Yeah it’s fine it says that for the blank ones too

[alpine solar]

thanks for the help

[wary yacht]

Ambushers should also do a pretty good job of handling the extra’s that spawn in feng shui

[raw hemlock]

Hehe i got a funni screenshot-
Anyway which part of the map should Entel be on?

slim enemy hehe

[muted tundra]

slim enemy

[wary yacht]

Entel will probably just die anywhere in the middle lane

Like she will get vaporised

[raw hemlock]

oh god

[wary yacht]

Left lane should be best for like all of your ops

Just make sure entel is behind a defender and can cover the tile infront of them or something

[raw hemlock]

want me to move myrtle after using her skill? i wanted some DP generated early

[wary yacht]

Honestly you probably got the worst matchup for your squad with this stage lmao

[raw hemlock]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[wary yacht]

Just remove her once you got all your operators down

Ranged ones always takes priority ofc

[raw hemlock]

I got a better squad setup on my last run (it eated the good rolls)

[wary yacht]

Narantuya can probably chip the guys on the middle lane just keep her out of their range

[raw hemlock]

o there's yi-

[wary yacht]

And it looks like the only operator you have that can tank the boss is the reserve operator

[raw hemlock]

[wary yacht]

I doubt entelechia’s self healing can sustain herself against the boss and leizi is just up there half the time

[alpine solar]

what if he waits 6 months

for the cn ente module update

is it doable then

[wary yacht]

You’ll also probably have to let the boss go through the stairs before doing any meaningful damage to him

ente is module soon trust

[raw hemlock]

Uhhhhhhh might've taken out yi's first health bar and then got nuked by the floaty things-

[alpine solar]

you can recover from this right

just let yi do a lap and your ops will be back

[wary yacht]

You’re fine

Try to get myrtle out in a safe spot for some dp generation though

[raw hemlock]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[wary yacht]

Nice

[raw hemlock]

I can finally e2 Raidian

[faint rampart]

congrats

[prime mountain]

Now for the d10 climb for masteries 👍

I believe in you!

[raw hemlock]

oughhhhhhhhhhh

[wary yacht]

e2 raidian is massive

I’d prioritise getting her proficiencies done before everything else since they do so much for you

[prime mountain]

yeah her skill tree goes crazy

[alpine solar]

im so scare of trying ed3

[prime mountain]

If you did ed2, ed3 is easier

so dont worry

[alpine solar]

i scared myself out of ed2 but turns out it wasnt too bad

[faint rampart]

just dont get freaked out by balls :ggnod:

[wary yacht]

The hardest part about ed3 is the stage to unlock it

[sonic sable]

Do u guys like mangshan town records

[wary yacht]

And yeah dont let the balls overwhelm you

[faint rampart]

if i have mizuki yes

[wary yacht]

One of my runs ended because i thought what could go wrong if i bring just 4 operators and my operators got softlocked from deploying lmao

[sonic sable]

Mizuki kinda broken tbh

[prime mountain]

I still haven't decided who's better between mizuki and yato alt

[faint rampart]

you gonna ban the better one?

[sonic sable]

Mizuki def

[prime mountain]

The better one is exu alt and she's already banned

[sonic sable]

But needs e2

[alpine solar]

is this tongbao actually good? by the wording it implies if i block an enemy for 20 seconds they die?

[prime mountain]

Consider: hit count talismans

you cannot block them

[alpine solar]

oh fuck

[prime mountain]

they gain 50% more hp

[alpine solar]

right

[sonic sable]

Yato does not do much en route does she?

[prime mountain]

Very good bosky performance

[faint rampart]

no more new additions to the list

[wary yacht]

Enemies also have arts resist so it could take longer

[sonic sable]

Damn really?

[prime mountain]

Nah thats gonna stay the list pretty much forever I think, exu alt might leave it someday

[prime mountain]

Free damage on s3 is free damage + can hit air

And is good against statuegeists if you want more money

[faint rampart]

~~predicting her downfall already ~~

[prime mountain]

I think mizuki is better for en route but yato better for bosky stages

so its hard to decide

[sonic sable]

Can i add someone here that has a max raidian or has an entelechia?

[wary yacht]

Sure

[prime mountain]

Hi its me I have an entelechia

[wary yacht]

What’s your id

[alpine solar]

is this worth it

[prime mountain]

I'd say mostly no

[wary yacht]

no

[prime mountain]

esp if you dont know which debuffs you have yet

+7 dp cost is BRUTAL

[arctic panther]

with law and order + that one specialist collectible you can also make that free damage constant

[sonic sable]

U have spot open?

[wary yacht]

One of the bosky nodes basically does the same thing but scales with candleguests

[raw hemlock]

dont friend me for either, I just got Raidian her e2 and I had to borrow someone else's Entel to have her for use on my run

[prime mountain]

Yeah, jai2627#9223

Got exu alt and ente if anyone wants got plenty of spots

[raw hemlock]

you can get canta, chalter, and nearlter from me (unless someone wants me to change any of those)

[faint rampart]

opportunity to become frens with a dalao

[sonic sable]

Thnx

[prime mountain]

Dalao in training bro

[raw hemlock]

should i change any of my supports?

[faint rampart]

investment for the future

[wary yacht]

Polar#5241 if anyone wants raidian max or whatever operator

[faint rampart]

exiled chen and nearl🥹

[wary yacht]

i think i just have leizi and raidian on my support slots at the moment

[raw hemlock]

who do i change them to (i have no ideas, i just wanna do more is6 for raidian)

[prime mountain]

Wait huh, I was browsing around how does one get this

[wary yacht]

Oh yeah and definitely try to borrow a max raidian for your is6 runs

[wary yacht]

Merch apparently

[prime mountain]

Bruh

[raw hemlock]

which merch

[prime mountain]

The one I bought didnt have a code 😭

[wary yacht]

Idk

[raw hemlock]

aw heck we gotta hunt

the hunt for the abyssal hunt /j

[sonic sable]

Why cant i add u

[wary yacht]

I think it was the same thing with kaltsit’s(?) lobby ost

[alpine solar]

that sounds wild

[prime mountain]

Huh good question, whats your ign

[sonic sable]

sapathegoat2707#6472

sooooooooooo new is6 run on d3?

[dusk creek]

@slender tree Defying Quakes EN listing is bugged; both the single and double version are named (2) and both redirect to the single version of the stage

[faint rampart]

if you're enjoying it then sure, go ahead

[severe oasis]

play d15

[raw hemlock]

can't, not unlocked

I only just unlocked d3

[muted jewel]

goes through each IS to do monthly squads for free LMD
reaches IS5 for mudrock
MUDROCK GOES FULL RACIST

[raw hemlock]

wha

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh should i do an is run with Nian?

[paper notch]

monthly squad?

[raw hemlock]

yea

wouldn't have nian otherwise

[paper notch]

sure ye. just do the mission for the reward

[faint rampart]

you can just deploy-retreat nian on first pathfiner node fight

[mint gull]

Does that trigger that?

[paper notch]

my goat said that it does

so i am inclined to believe them

[sinful sparrow]

It does

[mint gull]

Second question, if you put an op thats already a candleknight, so they become combat-promoted candleknight? Or it has to be a fresh candleknight?

[sinful sparrow]

Fresh

[raw hemlock]

which squad with nian?

only have leader, support, tactical, high ground breach, tourist, sui regulator, and tianshi bureau

[nocturne cape]

we have raidian at home

[gaunt bay]

Ur actually so cringe

[paper notch]

all she needs to be at the same level as a raw raidian is literally all of the summoner relics at the same time

oddities for fun

nice

[sick mason]

Sighs I really wish for arduous trade coin again

[raw hemlock]

still on that nian run, got two specialist vouchers, already used one to recruit and light a candle for ethan, using the second on him would be a waste so who gets the next one?

[sick mason]

Exualt?

[raw hemlock]

don't have her

she did NOT wanna show up on her banner

[sick mason]

Yatoalt

[raw hemlock]

don't have 'em either

look at my krooster

that's everyone I have (minus papyrus)

[slate hull]

how do you have a pot 4 Mizuki and still haven't built him

[flint token]

damn at this point just draft a random 4* shifter for the yanese doubt ig

[raw hemlock]

mats eaten by others (and i slept on mizuki's capabilities for ages)

kinda spent a little bit of time mad at mizuki for stealing rolls too

the me of 3 years ago was a very spiteful creature

...4 years ago

I keep forgetting it's 2026 now

[slate hull]

understandable, but you might as well seeing as you don't really have anyone else for specialist vouchers (Ascalon, Ela, Yato, Texas, Exu2) +is mod is cheap

[raw hemlock]

im gonna cause some sillies with ambushes

[gentle pagoda]

uuuh, what is this?

Can it work in dream?

wait that's useless

:o

[gentle pagoda]

I'm wheezing so hard

[verbal shadow]

overslept

[gentle pagoda]

1 raidian summon and exulter nuked it so hard I didn't have the time to do anything

I have the -45% health tangbao and -30% hp from relics too

[stray dove]

btw what's the RNG or chance on your starting risk coins either being 4 or 5

it's pretty scary seeing....2 Wests

[gaunt bay]

hi hay

[muted tundra]

kiwi was this a good investment for is6

[muted tundra]

do you see the vision

[gaunt bay]

uh

no

shes not chinese

[muted tundra]

WHAT

[gentle pagoda]

gg this was so piss easy I could fall asleep

what were you planning to do anyways

wing it

[gentle pagoda]

gg, I have become death

[gentle pagoda]

I'm crying of joy

no dep slot summons

[slate hull]

(on floor 3 and above)

[sick mason]

*Floor 4

[gentle pagoda]

wym

[sick mason]

The no deployment slot only takes effect in floor 4

[gentle pagoda]

oh I see

[sick mason]

If you recruited Raidian from floor 1

[gentle pagoda]

that's still good enough for me

[slate hull]

ah, +35 aspd must be floor 3 and deployment slots is floor 4

[raw hemlock]

:( I always have a problem with the dragons in Hook, Line, and Sinker

[gentle pagoda]

oops I forgot about doing the special stuff for scroll of scars ending

killing the boss too fast

[raw hemlock]

issue from this run: leizi2 is the only aerial hitter atm

[muted tundra]

oh ye they're kinda nasty

yea I guessed from what I've seen of your drafts

that you're lacking air

[raw hemlock]

yea

[gentle pagoda]

hopefully this is good , I just got it

[muted tundra]

raidian s3 is reliable against em

[raw hemlock]

I've had some better runs where I got some more ranged ops but since this is the monthly run I did not get them yet

[muted tundra]

ahhh ic

[muted tundra]

oh yea legit gamechanging

[raw hemlock]

and i just got another defender voucher, I'm not conserving that, get cuora in here-

literally free

[muted tundra]

we love our tortle

[raw hemlock]

top two favorite things:
1: her bat
2: her recruit line

[gentle pagoda]

oh that much? What does it do? I'm unsure

[faint rampart]

no yato recruited today sorry

[gentle pagoda]

nice start

[muted tundra]

each tongbao that drops after battle becomes a choice between two tongbao

[gentle pagoda]

oh wow, that sounds broken

I've been doing with what I was given

[muted tundra]

hehe

yea can't live without it once you've tried

[gentle pagoda]

and no conditions like pay a ticket to get the option?

[muted tundra]

they probably do it to not overwhelm you with choices while you're learning

[muted tundra]

no, it's just a choice

[gentle pagoda]

I wish it was more on the path 🥹

things would've been much easier if I had that

[muted tundra]

yea historically they limit your choices before you progress on the unlock tree

to not overwhelm players

same with foldartals in is4

[sick mason]

Roll da flowers

[muted tundra]

pretty...

[gentle pagoda]

having fun

[stray dove]

ah yes

more fucking reason to hate charcoal mask

ruined the drop to hole bump

[muted tundra]

LMAO

[gentle pagoda]

how much do I greed this? With tourist squad

maybe I should avoid blademace, this is for end 2

[muted tundra]

meanwhile my ascalon randomly getting slimed because I hit 99 DP

[raw hemlock]

aight, it's pathfinder voucher time, I got vouchers for medic, vg, guard, supporter (that's Raidian, locking that in before any of you say anything), spec, and defender
what other specialists should I get? (mizuki and ethan are off the table due to both being not e1 max lvl)

[stray dove]

blademace + ssu-nung lvl 3 + Candleholder Risk stamp + coin geist, let's go

[gentle pagoda]

exulter

[raw hemlock]

can't

[gentle pagoda]

waiifu

[raw hemlock]

can't

look at my krooster

[gentle pagoda]

dorothy

[raw hemlock]

can't

loop back a message

[gentle pagoda]

shaw

[faint rampart]

Dorothy in is6

[raw hemlock]

🐿️

[faint rampart]

maybe i wanna try ||how painful that is||

[raw hemlock]

promote Leizi2 with guard voucher?

what defender should I get? Nian and Cuora are already promoted

Oh, I still have Gummy unbuilt, why the hell did I do that?

[gentle pagoda]

tbh she isn't that bad

but exulter first always

[heavy pumice]

fuck you congestion :realmad:
when have a good run and possibly tripple ed

[raw hemlock]

her only upgrades are her pots and her skill level (4)

[gentle pagoda]

dorothy benefits a ton from vagary coins since she can be placed anywhere

[halcyon flame]

shes so peak

[raw hemlock]

anywayyyyyyyyyyyyy can i get Saria?

[halcyon flame]

what are ur other defender options

[gentle pagoda]

I just realized something, this can't win cannot fight can it?

[stray dove]

.....good luck killing mobs

there's a reason Humus is my preferred starting choice

he handles the 2 lanes Raidian blocks

even with talismans attached

[gentle pagoda]

wym starter choice

there is no guard supporter

is there?

[stray dove]

Raidian, Humus, Mamiya/Purestream

someone didn't look enough...

at voucher packs

[gentle pagoda]

I only look at specialist options usually

[stray dove]

well well.....

that's the problem then

[gentle pagoda]

ah, I might have a chance

trust in waiifu

[raw hemlock]

for any form of built: Saria (most built), Sankta Miksparato (e1lvl20), Ashlock (e1lvl60), Liskarm (e1lvl40), Croissant (e0lvl50), Aurora (e0lvl15), Matterhorn (e0lvl45), Beagle (e1max), Cardigan (e1lvl32), Friston-3 (lvl30)
unbuilt: Hung, Heavyrain, Bison, Cement, Gummy (im sorry), Durnar, Bubble, Lutonada, Spot, Noir Corne

Saria's e2lvl70, Cuora's e2lvl61

[sick mason]

... Dammit

[faint rampart]

[gentle pagoda]

it's all under control (trust)

waiifu saved

[stray dove]

I'm impressed you survive

you used the FRD and semi-FRD to tank the lancers

i assume

[gentle pagoda]

not at all

they were tanked by the summons

[stray dove]

what difficulty is it then?

[gentle pagoda]

d7

[stray dove]

oh wait

[halcyon flame]

might as well take saria

[raw hemlock]

YAY

[stray dove]

i can see that Raidian is near death from talisman

in other words, close...

[gentle pagoda]

yeah

damn that choice

[stray dove]

wym

[gentle pagoda]

I have to get rusty do I

[sick mason]

I'd take bustlingtrade

[stray dove]

Weiqi isn't even that good

it's no Spill

[sick mason]

Weiqi chance sometimes can just screw you over

[raw hemlock]

now medics... Ptilopsis, Silence, or Perfumer?

[sick mason]

More HP = more survival anyway

[gentle pagoda]

yeah

[stray dove]

lowering your ops' HP is one thing.
giving your enemies more ATK is another

[gentle pagoda]

although 60% atk isn't bad

BUT

end 2 has no need for atk

[sick mason]

Giving enemies +25% atk can be pretty brutal in high diff

[gentle pagoda]

strenuous study

[stray dove]

you might as well just activate West risk coin by that point

there are times enemies can hit you

and you can't

most of those times.....Turmoil and Sui foot

[sick mason]

Bloodshed spill on the other hand gives enemies -45% max HP but our ops -25% max HP which is definitely very worth it

[stray dove]

except Ed2

where you might need more survival

lest the foot wipe your entire defense line

[vocal wasp]

just for my knowledge, does ending 2 boss has a certain time limit to finish the fight? like that one boss fight from invitation to wine event. so i would be able to know if i can stall as long as i want or not.

[gentle pagoda]

I've seen worse floor 1

[stray dove]

same i've seen worse

at least you got bullet necklace

and SP batt

[gentle pagoda]

and exulter relic

[sick mason]

Last time I did this stage, I had so much skill issues that I lost 26 LP

[stray dove]

elegance book too

worse my ass, that's a decent spread

3 worthwhile relics

[gentle pagoda]

funnily the first window had some broken stuff too

I bought this and rerolled before the fight

[nocturne cape]

I started E1 Gnosis

Dont try that shit at home

Its SOOOOO dogshit

[stray dove]

the run's won if you got that in F1....if you don't screw up the routing and your luck with vouchers ain't shit

[nocturne cape]

I leaked big bob

[gentle pagoda]

yeah, although end 2, it's still a king's crown run from the start

[nocturne cape]

And the armored scout

In To Market

E1 gnosis is not a real operator

[sick mason]

Gnosis starter

[stray dove]

me finising ed3 squad clears one step at a time feels nice.
Can't wait for expansion 1 where QOLs will make IS6 even better and easier for Ed4 clearing

[gentle pagoda]

I need 2 more supporters

[stray dove]

cause i do hate that F3 and F5 mostly can't align Pathfinder and WiW

even with coupons

[gentle pagoda]

something like skalter and grain buds maybe?

[nocturne cape]

Im just gonna try every stupid E1 starter out there

[gentle pagoda]

suzuran is an option too

[nocturne cape]

Crossing out gnosis

[sinful sparrow]

e1 reed

[nocturne cape]

How real is e1 reed

[faint rampart]

[gentle pagoda]

for end 2 I feel like I should grab skalter

[sinful sparrow]

idt its real
but shes dr for ed2

[nocturne cape]

Is guard supporter medic the only medic starter?

[sinful sparrow]

sounds peak!

[nocturne cape]

Aint no way we’re starting some dogshit like reed roberta humus/windscoot

That sounds awful

[faint rampart]

e1 gnosis kinda does too tho

[nocturne cape]

Yeah it was just

[sinful sparrow]

my ass started leizi roberta purestream last night

god i hate ente

0 dph

[nocturne cape]

A bright idea

Of the moment

I dont have gnosis on CN

[gentle pagoda]

[nocturne cape]

and i kinda wanna play the kjerag comp

[gentle pagoda]

Guess I have martial fight and rusty dream

[nocturne cape]

And i dont wanna play special squad

[sinful sparrow]

kill this mf

highroll ass

[nocturne cape]

How real is E1 SA alter start

Vanguard sniper specialist doesnt sound too bad

[stray dove]

just to shake things up?
Based on my preferences from constant squad clears, Special Squad is just the best for me

especially when the IS is Raidian-coded

[nocturne cape]

Yeah playing raidianless rn

Hoshi alter confirmed working

[stray dove]

i mean sounds nice

she is very solid

with May and Click i guess?

[nocturne cape]

Yes

I think Haze might work too

Her new outfit is cute

[stray dove]

heh

skins giving motivation for use

[faint rampart]

:ggnod:

[nocturne cape]

You can cope the RES shred

Hoshi can use some of that

Anyway

Cooking E1 SA alter start now

[raw hemlock]

Raidian's console or strange picky statue?

[nocturne cape]

Console

You drafted raidian right?

[raw hemlock]

yea

[nocturne cape]

Yeah console

Any form of direct summon buff is insane on raidian

Old sandal, Console, Geist binding rope, etc.

[raw hemlock]

moment I got a support voucher I was like "this one's for raidian, moment I get to pathfinder that's frame 1"

[faint rampart]

good luck

[raw hemlock]

welp, that's the duck coin flipped-

[stray dove]

statue or calendar are worthless

[gaunt bay]

hi cube!

[stray dove]

even if you somehow managed to roll them

2 coupons (MINIMUM) just for that payoff?

not worth

[nocturne cape]

Statue is fine if you can get that many risks

Calendar is straight up bad

[stray dove]

i feel like those relics can only take off

[distant glade]

the illusion of choice

(I'm going up because there's a pathfinder after the bosky)

[stray dove]

using Coin Squad

[nocturne cape]

Well

[gentle pagoda]

decent enough floor 2 start, esp with the relics and dream curio flipped

but now is time for sleep

[raw hemlock]

should I do encounter to go ahead and use the new vouchers I got (vg and def/supp voucher) on the pathfinder node right after it or no?

[faint rampart]

uh btw if you don't mind the question
which squad did you use the most on is6 release

[nocturne cape]

Even on non toursit squad statue can still be fine

If youre willing to take inferior risks

[nocturne cape]

Special Squad

[stray dove]

Special Squad is just the best for me in IS6 vanilla

No clue about future expansion squads yet

[faint rampart]

thanks

[stray dove]

or future squad upgrades

i know some of them will get more upgrades in Expansion 2

[nocturne cape]

If you just want to win play Special Squad, reset for kettle, start E2 Raidian + Exu + Myrtle

[stray dove]

with extended skill trees

[nocturne cape]

Rob f1

Ggez

[sick mason]

Special squad best for starters (and still very good too if your Raidian still not maxed)

[stray dove]

wouldn't that struggle a bit if Cannot sprays talisman on all 3 of em?

[nocturne cape]

Doesnt matter

[stray dove]

or even if it's just Geexu and Raidian

[nocturne cape]

Youre playing special squad

You have everything

[stray dove]

oh yeah

[sick mason]

Nowadays I spammed def/support and sui regulator squad

[stray dove]

i forgot special squad is an 8 man team

with +2 deployment limit

[nocturne cape]

No one will die because you have reserve sniper to kill the talisman

And reserve medic to heal

[stray dove]

ngl i prefer Wis Raidian start for Special squad

[nocturne cape]

Wis works

[stray dove]

Wis E2 is more helpful for me for most Turmoils

[nocturne cape]

I like E2 Raidian for F1

[stray dove]

and Wis S2 is useful in Cannot rob

[alpine solar]

why do people recommend picking windscoot over luo xiaohei

[nocturne cape]

Worst case scenario i can take a pathfinder fight to make her candleguest

Instead of fishing for a nonexistent supporter voucher

[stray dove]

.....not everyone got the collab?

[nocturne cape]

Just my two cents tho

[stray dove]

some new players will never have them

it's been a long time since Luo

[raw hemlock]

who's luo

[alpine solar]

has it?

[stray dove]

yes

[alpine solar]

felt like yesterday

[faint rampart]

i see
been doing that ||except it's ground breach squad ||
ig the extra bodies with reserve ops do help

[alpine solar]

this cute kitty

[nocturne cape]

Windscoot does better damage comparing to Luo

[raw hemlock]

I MISSED THE KITTY CAT?!

[nocturne cape]

You dont really need a blocker if you are playing raidian

[sick mason]

It was a collab event iirc

[raw hemlock]

[nocturne cape]

He’s fine too tho

[faint rampart]

account bricked itsover

[raw hemlock]

[stray dove]

damn, what a long yesterday

[alpine solar]

👴

[sinful sparrow]

does

Not

bro has 0 damage on f1

[nocturne cape]

Challenge accepted

[raw hemlock]

fuckkkkkk that was during my hiatusssssssssssssssssss

[sinful sparrow]

i await your clear screen

or abrupt awakening

[alpine solar]

so if the crossover comes back, can we legally say "It's been a while, 'It's been a While'"

[nocturne cape]

My SA is M8

[stray dove]

it doesn't take much to break Cube

[nocturne cape]

Guess the last mastery im missing

[sinful sparrow]

mine’s m6

i can smell the s3m2

:clueless:

[nocturne cape]

Its S2

[chrome tangle]

cube

[sinful sparrow]

wtf its birb

[chrome tangle]

u should do SA start with mine

wtf its mika

[sinful sparrow]

buy me a mcdonalds

[chrome tangle]

can't

just bought it today for myself

[sinful sparrow]

Ur so cringe 🥀

[chrome tangle]

do my event

[stray dove]

oh yeah IS6 lvl 65 reward, I'll use it on an M3 that uses the new T5 material for best value

[chrome tangle]

and then i buy maccers

i can use that on nian

[stray dove]

hmmmm, Hoshi S3 doesn't use much

[sinful sparrow]

wtf nian

[stray dove]

what skill does Haruka use and M3?

[sinful sparrow]

🫃

S2

You can make a case for S3 to use for guidance fight

but i have been using it with sl7 and just fine

[stray dove]

ehhh,

[sinful sparrow]

omg he uses e0 art

based

the e2 art is so weird 🥹

[stray dove]

it seems all my incoming targets don't use much of the new materials

I think I'll just give it to Hoshitter S3

since it still uses T4 new mat

[alpine solar]

we get new materials after piss pyramids?

[nocturne cape]

e2 art is shit

[gaunt bay]

if i had a nickel for every time silverash had a weird e2 art, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice

[nocturne cape]

Just like the good old days

[gaunt bay]

maybe this mf is just ugly

[stray dove]

E2 isn't bad for SAlter

just that his fur coat has been overkilled

[alpine solar]

can the playerbase just collectively accuse HG of making base SA e2 art of being copied from somewhere so they replace the art

[stray dove]

i don't bother looking at stuff i don't like. I only pick those that i like to see

[alpine solar]

ew ugly skin

[stray dove]

so there's no point in useless actions to "fix e2 art"

[alpine solar]

everyone knows pirate SA is the best

[stray dove]

ehhhh

[lost anchor]

SA base e2 art looks high af

[alpine solar]

objectively speaking this skin is better than his l2d skin

[stray dove]

i choose my preferences based on how good they in the operator list/squad list

not the sprites, not the anims, not the effects,

just how they look on that rectangle

[alpine solar]

i rate my operators based on how much of an exposed upper body they have

[stray dove]

no fucking wonder you want pirate ash

[alpine solar]

clearly this is the superior silverash

[stray dove]

so how much do you like Broca?

[alpine solar]

🙂

[main bison]

https://youtube.com/shorts/JRcPKj7J1dQ?si=GJIDqlUPlLhBSRLz

Doc really that broken?

[nocturne cape]

1 second into the run the challenge is bricked

Nice hp+ def

[gaunt bay]

:joyplush:

[faint rampart]

[sinful sparrow]

Divine punishment

Maintaining the Raidian agenda is our top priority

or something

idk raidian makes dlc1 kinda jobber

every run ur rich
what now

[stray dove]

low diff + relics can do a lot.

although does this have to do with a weird mechanic with Doc?

[nocturne cape]

Why is bro killing my shieldguard

And why isnt Jaye breaking his def

[stray dove]

aaaaa

[alpine solar]

Are the upcoming in cn but not in global is modules any good

[stray dove]

expansion 1 spoilers

[nocturne cape]

This game sucks

Go next

[stray dove]

nothing worthwhile enough to consider

like

none are Ange/Mizuki tiered

[faint rampart]

thought gnosis was big?

[gaunt bay]

no

[stray dove]

it really isn't

[gaunt bay]

the "big" one is swire alter

[faint rampart]

[stray dove]

at best it's a permafreeze on some ops

[gaunt bay]

but its still kinda whatever

its good in is6

[stray dove]

but all the most dangerous enemies tend to already be easily stalled by Trag

or are immune to freeze

[sinful sparrow]

proof?

how do i stall ed2 feet with trag

[stray dove]

movement stall

stalling foot is a different kind

it's just called letting it stomp somewhere else

[alpine solar]

Try tickling

[stray dove]

just don't wake it up

map will end if it's asleep

ngl i don't mind these mimics much

i'd rather it rob ingots

than kill LP

[alpine solar]

Can't steal my ingots if I spent it all already

[faint rampart]

yeah prolly wont

but funni placement

[stray dove]

as funny as placing thorny chests in the middle of a small map

[alpine solar]

Raidian is good for the horny chests

[stray dove]

Guess where the chest is based on ops range placement

that run would've ended if i didn't have Shawl

[alpine solar]

Where's ur wisadel

[faint rampart]

[stray dove]

my dude

you're seeing Galter there

this is pre-Wis by the looks of it

hell...i'm still using Tex2 as manta/highmore solution (I'm not deploying her there because i don't want UFO splashing any ranged tiles)

IS3 when it was still the newest

[chrome tangle]

horn and texas in 2026

aitnoway

[faint rampart]

horn understandable
didn't know texalt fell off too

[stray dove]

texalt stops being good the higher the IS3 diff was

she barely contributed

even her S3 stops being good if she dies before she even lands

[chrome tangle]

her damage is garbo

tex not having i-frames

[stray dove]

Also

[chrome tangle]

is pretty funny

[stray dove]

that's such a shit run in vouchers i reckon

an F5 map

and my Mlynar is still E1

[chrome tangle]

thats a u problem

just dont draft mlynar

!

then he wouldnt be stuck at E1

[gaunt bay]

if texalt was released today she wouldve had iframes and some special status

[stray dove]

well

[gaunt bay]

and like

triple the damage

[chrome tangle]

her S3 woulda infinitely refresh

[stray dove]

i got a nice mileage out of her

[gaunt bay]

probably

yeah

inf refresh

[stray dove]

she was pretty great in her times

it was still quite a memorable time

having my squad always have Tex2 and Ya2

[gaunt bay]

i still bring double frd to gen content

[stray dove]

My gen content is.....global warming themed. And is waiting for Hoshitter.

[sick mason]

A huge fan of burn dmg huh

[stray dove]

if not double FRD, double semi-FRD from agents

although Surfer will be kicked once i get SAlter

[faint rampart]

making it sound like some fossil era

[stray dove]

if Burn didn't have Yu, it wouldn't even be close to fun.

Yu made it fun

and flexible

[frozen bobcat]

does reaper auto attack count as heal?

[stray dove]

what interaction you asking for?

[heavy pumice]

?
what auto atk mean here?

[stray dove]

base attack

it does heal per attack

but what interaction are you asking if it counts as "healing"

[frozen bobcat]

,ring of thorns relic

[stray dove]

i never cared to see if it can exploit that

just because....inconsistent placement

[heavy pumice]

oh IS6
no idea then

[sick mason]

Hey come on not now duck coin

[frozen bobcat]

i mean
isnt it just a lite version of offensive regen relic?

[nocturne cape]

Duck.

it does count i think

[stray dove]

I'd take Duck coin purely because it won't ruin my deployment limit and it has +2 shield asap

[copper orchid]

Law and order and trust the cat

[heavy pumice]

offensive regen huh
no idea really, idk what repaer trait count as in mechanic
since they are the first who have that

[steel relic]

yes

[frozen bobcat]

they "recover"
idk

[steel relic]

anything that produces green numbers counts

[sick mason]

Ah I see where the lightning will strike your operator

With that lightning coin

[frozen bobcat]

ok

thank you!

[main bison]

Low like D12?

[stray dove]

yes

[main bison]

And I don't know, I never built Doc

[stray dove]

depends

some consider D12 as mid diff

[frozen bobcat]

pretty good on entel i would say

[stray dove]

but the final diff modifiers tend to be what's most impactful

like we're talking potentially a vertical spike

[frozen bobcat]

able to assassinate hings with s2 more often

[stray dove]

at least in regards to IS5 and IS6, D13-D15 aren't too impactful

although burning talisman in D15 IS6 is somewhat.....troublesome

especially if you consider burn enemies in Yi's center tile or Wang's pieces that burn you too

[faint rampart]

yeah no fk reed starter

[stray dove]

damn thats an old one

IS4 vanilla

[nocturne cape]

vengeance

[cedar ivy]

Level 88

Just running D12 to fill out the acute hours now

[eager cloak]

Thanks for the advice @full plinth
beat him on D15

About 3 weeks ago

[full plinth]

what was my advice

[eager cloak]

To not ping you in random channels

[faint rampart]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/730658830169669662.gif

[stray dove]

I'm not gonna try other endings past D12 until D18 unlocks

[floral mist]

I try post-Expansion IS6 in CN
Freaking insane how much of a QOL changes could define how hard Is IS now.
Got 39 relics with my skill tree still underwhelming

[raw hemlock]

do I try the fruit offerings, try and swipe the crown, or just pay respects?

[floral mist]

Picking the first two options would get you into a hard battle(and a very hard one if you're not stacked with relics)

[raw hemlock]

oh...

[stray dove]

extra nodes on F1 and F2 is already insane value imo

and then adding verticals to every pathfinder and WiW is another

[raw hemlock]

i dont wanna fight

[floral mist]

Yeah, go for the third option

[stray dove]

it's too late

he knows it's a fight

because it spawned

[raw hemlock]

whadya mean, i paid my respects and went into bosky

[gaunt bay]

how low is that fucking fuze

[raw hemlock]

also who are you talking about

[gaunt bay]

i dont see a single pixel of blue 😭

[floral mist]

True but.
It's the Candleguest and Bosky relics that probably change a lot.
Since you have the options to get more relics

[stray dove]

i haven't seen the expansion relics yet

or expansion squads

but i don't want to spoil myself too much

[floral mist]

👍

[surreal vapor]

is this 3 risk in one roll or every 3 across all rolls?

[stray dove]

ngl i have no idea

[full plinth]

im assuming 3 in one roll

[nocturne cape]

3 in one roll

[surreal vapor]

oomf

[full plinth]

it would make sense because there is that squad that increases the amount of coins you can toss at a time

[surreal vapor]

ouuu

[full plinth]

and at higher risk you spawn with like nearly all risk coins

[stray dove]

that you want removed

unless you're that guy who wants enemy stat diff modifiers remain intact

[surreal vapor]

i lowkey just swapped the initial bad risks and only have the 'good' risks

ok yea no i'm too bad for that

ty ty

[nocturne cape]

yippe

afk time

[full plinth]

tbf sometimes you would want all risk coins to do that infinite relic ling node strat

[stray dove]

thats the thing

Ling looping doesn't even feel useful

it's more like a win more

or overbloat of resources

[nocturne cape]

technically there are more mechanics that encourages you to keep the risks

[surreal vapor]

aint spending that much time on a run now that im employed

[gaunt bay]

how broken is pram

[nocturne cape]

like that guaranteed wish fulfilled on F2

[stray dove]

like the choice options that need risk tosses?

[nocturne cape]

yes

[stray dove]

I just realized....

they made an IS where coin tosses are actually pretty fun with risk reward

when it failed in IS3

[floral mist]

Uncontestable, literally the best caster in the game and as IS starter

[faint rampart]

best caster

[ancient tree]

kill enemy for hp is a goated relic

expecially for ed3

[eager cloak]

He was at 14 HP

[raw hemlock]

Got an 8-op squad limit for Green Hills Speak Not, which ops are the three I leave out?

[faint rampart]

maybe a sign to recruit FedEx

[faint rampart]

uh oh its the dusk one

[raw hemlock]

I'm pretty sure I did okay on it the last time I got the node

[faint rampart]

psure there are no hitcount enm so ethan can go
and shaw too

[void root]

I hate that emergency stages with IW enemies in floor 2 IS6

[faint rampart]

https://youtu.be/Yej33td5piI?si=bnd_1G9cP5y-QX9c
might help or something idk, be careful of explosions
(Team doesn't match but~~)

[void root]

Idk how to clear those fragments fast without Ethan

[faint rampart]

[void root]

That stage with roadblocks

[faint rampart]

oh

feng shui?

or something

[void root]

Yeah

Feng Shui

Emergency

[faint rampart]

uhhh i think i saw a raidian clear lemme find

ente could help too, idk ur team

[dusk patio]

any of these leading to different ending?

[nocturne cape]

no

[dusk patio]

what does this 2 gives?

[nocturne cape]

fight

with raidan = EM, explore = NM

[faint rampart]

nvm idk how to write chinese

[nocturne cape]

feng shui raidian clear is post dlc1

with her second mod

unless you were referring to something else not just raidian only

[dusk patio]

umm, what is EM NM

[nocturne cape]

Emergency and Normal

[dusk patio]

icic thank you

[nocturne cape]

double merchant technology

[ancient tree]

isn't em better tho because you start with a lot of rayman S3 ufos

[nocturne cape]

ya its a free stage for raidian

[dusk patio]

chose normal, still got cooked, shouldnt risk it

[nocturne cape]

without raidian its a rather annoying stage

very easy to leak

[ancient tree]

you should have picked EM tbh

[dusk patio]

EM better?

[ancient tree]

spawned turrets covers side lanes, if you have S3 you can direct the turrets to fire down middle

[faint rampart]

uh oh so it wont help

[dusk patio]

too bad i didnt get more supporter tickets, no S3

[errant siren]

Ofc. More planes. If you have Raidian E2, her S3 could combine all planes connected and TEAR DOWN ENEMIES IN SECONDS.

[dusk patio]

im stuck with her s2 for now

[faint rampart]

i think it was just a bili link in ISC server, cant find it anymore

[dusk patio]

wtf

[faint rampart]

failed parroting

[dusk patio]

you playing differen game

[errant siren]

[dusk patio]

also 201 hp

[dusk patio]

[ancient tree]

is that really the play?

I've always blocked off the blue box from the left and top

[surreal vapor]

if i do m3 mission before i have m2, it won't count?

[nocturne cape]

it counts

[surreal vapor]

ty ty

[dusk patio]

my first time using her s3, this is cheating

[errant siren]

[void root]

[stray dove]

HAHAHAHAHA this statuegeist is useless since it just keeps spawning talismans directly to the blue box

maybe it'll get fixed if i add more targets

I am so fucking livid of Charcoal making this shit worse

i am so tempted....to waste 3 Coupons just to trade it out

[nocturne cape]

on CN there used to be a bug where charcoal mask + 2x speed on this stage crashes the game

[raw hemlock]

oh

[nocturne cape]

cn bugs may or may not carry over

just be careful

🥹

[cold fjord]

time for u to test it🧑‍💻
