Welp

#

Have to do d10 ed3 to finish raidian

stray dove
#

higher diff Sui is honestly scarier for me

#

what makes Wang scary are the 2 debuff relics and F6 combat with them

sick mason
stray dove
#

i'd rather have something more concrete

#

and not reliant on coins

#

1 of these 3 relics will do.

sick mason
#

I lost 26 LP on inferno (emergency) before ed3 HellaKek

#

Leaving me with only THREE

left ledge
#

Finally, I got the butterfly boss unlocked. Now I need to defeat its final form. So how many lives do I need to let go of the left side?

sick mason
#

17

sick mason
#

If you leave the left lane totally

left ledge
#

Cool. More than enough. I have 17 lives and 2 shields.

#

Off to check out the guides for now to get the idea.

#

I'll need to protect the middle and right lanes.

tribal furnace
#

Yeah alright lost like a dumbass by throwing myself into out of control (emergency) with no dp generation or heal

#

Alright time to stop playing like a dumbass

left ledge
#

Am I correct to assume that at the 2nd half, the boss will have a 5x5 radius?

left ledge
#

Oh ok. RosThink

stray dove
#

if you want to know how it escalates

#

the stomps get faster and faster

#

and D14 makes any stomp victims have longer redep time too

cloud cairn
#

It's time for IS5 shenanigans

stray dove
#

lulz refreshing for you is still so cheap

left ledge
#

Defeated the boss! YAY!

cloud cairn
stray dove
#

D12 makes coupon use (THAT'S NOT VERTICAL MOVEMENT) cost 1 extra

cloud cairn
#

okay I got the 50 ingot node

#

rawr

left ledge
#

Now that I know how this boss works, I'd better prep for the rest of the runs.

ionic cradle
#

ughhh which boss?

errant siren
#

Sui Leg

ionic cradle
#

simply have arkbillions amount of defense

#

Or that collectible that gives them a barrier after some points

remote badger
#

me when stomp

#

there goes ur ops

brittle grove
#

But honestly the retreat frame much better than ch10 cannon, plus point

ionic cradle
#

it deals physical, so Defense collectibles and coins heavily nerfs

ionic cradle
#

or allied things generally I think

brittle grove
#

I meant to avoid D13+ punishment or smt didn't bother to remember

ionic cradle
#

(I wish that riot thing was more reusable for it but it's weak as fuck)

brittle grove
#

Welp 6 ops already alot

ionic cradle
#

summons affected

#

and you're usually having raidian in a run for both easier dealing with stuff and the encounters

#

honestly also good for Speedrun stuff

ornate wave
#

Hi gays is this a good game

brittle grove
#

The frame not that tight just git gud

ornate wave
#

I'm noob, I got raidian to pot3 before I could clear difficulty 2

ionic cradle
#

Honestly focus on special squad until diff 4

stray dove
#

the simplest solution

#

more HP

ionic cradle
#

Do not GAMBLE, start with the Guard,Supporter,Medic squad

faint rampart
#

wth slander

stray dove
#

slander on Special Squad

stray dove
#

until diff4 my ass

#

if i wasn't forced to change squad wins due to Raidian completion

#

I would've Special Squad'd until D15 clear

ionic cradle
#

I mean they're just starting out, after they E2 Raidian, who knows, they might either enjoy coin tossing or voucher banking more

stray dove
#

good point. But if they're asking for the easiest path moving forward

#

Special Squad just gives too many advantages from the get go

ionic cradle
#

yeah thats why it's a good beginner choice

ornate wave
#

Is that alright for a noob

stray dove
#

as a newbie, I really recommend you to just feel around what you feel is right or try stuff for yourself first

#

start asking more details if there's some things you can't answer yourself

#

like the "Why" questions

#

do not be afraid to lose

#

this is a roguelite

#

you will lose

#

thats the gist of doing roguelites blindly

ornate wave
#

I've been feeling around and feel stuck..
If I continue I'll get pot5 e1 raidian SurtrDumb

stray dove
#

so what part do you feel stuck

#

what's your main problem?

ornate wave
#

Mobs are easy, I think it's floor 5

#

The boss dropping flying drones perhaps

stray dove
#

ok so the boss will always summon those flying bombs

#

how low does it go? It depends WHERE he is

#

so the best way to stop it as an issue is

ornate wave
#

Are there collectibles that'd help counter it

stray dove
#

to keep him stuck at top

#

no

#

you have to solve it via operators

#

and stalling him

ornate wave
stray dove
#

thats not the best solution

#

if you want the easiest solutions

#

i recommend Raidian S1 as the core way to keep him as stuck there as possible

#

constant spam S1 skill to replenish stall summons, keep it tanky

#

and replace it if it dies

#

as complementary to it, Tragodia S2 will help rewind back any progress he's made in walking down

#

you will not kill those flying bombs

#

you can but they're endless

#

they're there to sweep the area and wipe anyone that they travel through

#

so solve the boss

#

not the drones

ornate wave
#

My archers wasted their ammo aiming bombs instead of boss..

stray dove
#

thats fine

#

that's part of the challenge

#

and here's a tip from someone who's played in higher difficulties with not too many good relics

#

it's fine if you're barely killing his HP. Just keep nuking him when there's no summon sweeps

#

as long as you can stall him from going down

#

there's no timer to bosses that have to go to blue box

ornate wave
stray dove
#

there's no patterns outside of memorizing the intervals like "it's been a while, he should be summoning drones now"

#

once he stops walking

#

and starts his idle animations

#

he will do it

#

it's always consistent

#

that after a certain amt of time

#

he will do it

ornate wave
#

What is I use tragodia cat will that delay it

#

Is it a timer or a position based skill

stray dove
#

ok time for cliffnotes on how Trag cat works

#

so the cat has a long timer before it blows up

ornate wave
#

Yea 10s smth

stray dove
#

but that timer can immediately end if an enemy reaches it

#

it also has a cap of enemy targets that it will attract

#

but it prios the elites and leaders

#

in other words....if you want to use cat, make sure Yi is the closest to the cat compared to other enemies (this needs to be kept in mind with his drones, they are also enemies)

#

MAKE SURE

#

Yi isn't doing any idle animations

#

or is invulnerable (once he gets to phase 2)

#

or else he ignores cat

ornate wave
#

I should try getting that machine that lets you redeploy ops quick
But it has a limit .

ionic cradle
stray dove
#

it's hilarious that Yi is the most susceptible to Cat stalling

ionic cradle
#

those things deal arts, which means Nightingale peak

stray dove
#

but is also the most pain in the ass to Cat stall

remote badger
#

cmon just throw bodies into yi

ornate wave
remote badger
stray dove
#

whatever works but I am providing him strats that work no matter how high the difficulty goes

ornate wave
ionic cradle
stray dove
#

and I'm recommending you to not tank the explosive drones too much

#

lest you have a run that you're a glass cannon and die

ornate wave
stray dove
#

must be high difficulty indeed

ionic cradle
#

ASPD doesn't affect Yi's ability, and he's the only ranged enemy there... if you don't count the mirror dudes

stray dove
#

his normal attack arts isn't much

#

it's when he starts sweeping Liangs that is his main threat

#

him getting to middle of the map is already dire

ornate wave
#

Yea
I dunno how I did difficulty 1

stray dove
#

cause that means only 1 row of ranged tiles are safe

#

it's called forgiving difficulty

#

being that low, you can most likely tank his drones

#

btw

#

Yi also has multiple things that are RNG

#

his starting enemies in the middle are RNG

#

his later elite enemies are RNG on what spawns

#

and what his routing is is also different variations

ornate wave
remote badger
#

chalices mmm

stray dove
#

with him going down immediately as the worst one

remote badger
#

gotta be the worst

stray dove
#

his pathing with that is

#

he zigzags

#

but in the OTHER axis

#

so he goes down, then moves to left and goes up

lost anchor
#

highkey waiting for hoshi2 before trynna grind up is6

stray dove
#

it's annoying to adjust to

ornate wave
#

-—-—

stray dove
#

in other words

#

stalling will always be the solution

#

and Raidian S1 is the best Yi stall imo

#

since sweeps can most likely wipe the best tanky operators out there

#

replaceable summons are easier to use

ornate wave
stray dove
#

have you cleared Difficulty 2?

ornate wave
#

Not yet

stray dove
#

once you do

#

and your Raidian is E2

#

pick Special Squad

ornate wave
#

That achievement unlocked smth I forget what

stray dove
#

don't think about medals

#

those don't matter too much in the bigger picture

#

you would get most of the medals easily anyways if you're going 100% Raidian completion

ornate wave
stray dove
#

it does

#

here's the thing

#

there's really only a few outliers that won't accidentally do to complete raidian

ornate wave
#

Ohic

stray dove
#

it's to do Ed2 clears on D5 in 3 different squads, and it's to clear Ed3 D10, and to kill Yi using Raidian

#

outside of those things, you will most likely finish everything else about Raidian by doing the natural progression

ornate wave
#

Nice

#

I can do that yea

#

I'll have a look at returns to roots stage on YouTube brb

#

The stage with trees mobbing

stray dove
#

oh that's one of the more annoying ones yeah

ionic cradle
#

uhhh, use Raidian S2 on the other side basically

#

You can nerf the egg early with it too

stray dove
#

i wouldn't do that Turmoil early anyways unless my Raidian is E2

#

and i have Wis/Geexu at least as secondary even if they're only E1

ionic cradle
#

huh, aint that a stage

#

Like a normal stage

#

It's the stage with the vines that block your view

stray dove
#

oh you mean the ones that are brambled and the one near turn into tree enemy?

#

yeah ok

#

so about that....

ionic cradle
#

Raidian s2

stray dove
#

Raidian S2 on the left

#

the right needs a lot more help

ionic cradle
#

Not really, the right also gets solved by S2, the mirror caster is too slow to do somethin and an egg that hasn't grown can be taken care off easily

#

Just don't let the summons near the vine

#

...biggest mistake

stray dove
#

no i meant S2 can block the path on right, sure

#

but you need something else to answer maybe the tree.....well actually

#

if you don't bother having allied units look at it

#

yeah....

#

no need to solve it

#

but I prefer the safer option of just dropping my other DPS

steel relic
#

Ling gaming

#

Just simply get poetry strips and summons -10 DP cost

#

wait why is it that in IS5 when I borrow ros for sniper medic, she isn't E2???

#

wtf

#

And then still cope that she’s comparable to Raidian

I am bad at this game. I cannot beat D5 in IS6 SkadiDaijoubu

#

raidian s1 can infinitely stall

#

E1 trag here

#

ceobe and mulberry didn't do anything I didnt even deploy em

#

so mainly you need someone to hold left lane

#

wisadel or exia works

obsidian needle
#

raidian s1 can also kill the boss

pastel saffron
#

amd keep boss in red box with raidian s1

obsidian needle
#

eventually...

pastel saffron
#

can deploy mlynar or leizi here to dps boss

#

while raidian s1 keeps him locked there

rapid matrix
#

raidian s1 makes defender vouchers useless. it feels like only defender worth picking is underflow for her utility

stray dove
#

Using Raidian S1 means you're not using her other summons

#

that is unless you only want her to stall

#

the entire time

pastel saffron
#

Saria for ed3 is fine if u didnt get many medic vouchers, gummy is also a decent pick to block wang

later hoshi2

brave moss
pastel saffron
#

till boss you're strong enough to not need her summons to do other things

pastel saffron
#

otherwise s2 is her best skill

obsidian needle
#

the menacing group of fish with gun

stray dove
#

I've used all 3 skills a decent amount of times

#

all are useful in different maps

rapid matrix
pastel saffron
#

I use s2 when less ranged tiles

#

if a map has lots of range tiles s3 is nice too

#

s1 idk

stray dove
#

i only do S3 on specific maps

pastel saffron
#

maybe if I need stall

stray dove
#

maps with not much need to block

#

and a LOT of ranged tiles

#

that don't rob other ranged ops of theirs

brave moss
#

so my win con in other squad than special squad is borrow max radian+ exalter?

stray dove
#

my preference is Wis, Geexu, Raidian

#

that might change with Hoshitter later and i can either add her as a 4th or sub out Wis or Geexu

#

depending on the voucher luck

#

Ok i need advice, should i go to the pathfinder or should i go to wonderland node? Im trying to do ed2

#

I already got the relic btw

wanton rose
#

who are you recruiting on pf

stray dove
#

do you have Bells? do you need more candleholders that's more than 1 (if you only need 1, just do it in WiW entrance and burn 1 candle for it)?

#

if those 2 are answered as no

#

it's obvious where you should go

pastel saffron
#

when u get lucky with relics and such, boss stands no chance

stray dove
#

lmao

#

a sandstorm run

#

that is one way to do an ASPD run

#

true dmg

#

that ignores any weakness a low DPS/high ASPD run has

brave moss
stray dove
brave moss
#

oh the boss die, nvm

stray dove
#

but you can....really have a run with absurd tankiness

#

or just have boss die too fast

pastel saffron
pastel saffron
stray dove
#

look at this Mlynar HP

#

Stir Fry and coin that bulks your ops based on shield alongside the other HP-related relics, there's a few ways to tank up

pastel saffron
#

theres also a coin which gives ur units a lot of defense

pastel saffron
stray dove
#

....sigh can you not recommend that as a practical use?

pastel saffron
#

time to mon3tr

pastel saffron
stray dove
#

it's almost non-existent once coin tosses become too expensive with +1 coupon inflation modifier

#

either way, up to you

#

not a fan of frozen ops

#

especially in Turmoil

#

if it's not Turmoil that needs immediate addressing of nuking or action, it's Ed3 relic debuffs

#

i just don't want to tolerate it

brave moss
#

i wont lie i have skill issues (i would have dropped AK a long time had it not for Kyo guide) and IS6 has been very miserable SkadiDaijoubu

stray dove
#

welcome to ISs

#

where Kyo and Ecko can't save you

#

and you actually need to get better

#

you have all the time in the world to improve though

#

for free too

#

no sanity to use or waste

pastel saffron
#

late game irs a bummer

#

but ed2 boss deals phy dmg stomps

brave moss
pastel saffron
#

So I had good runs with it

stray dove
#

there are better solutions for Ed2 boss

#

and that wok ain't it

pastel saffron
#

this one time I got it laye and still ended up tossing enuff to have more defense

pastel saffron
#

so stage is mostly solved from that plint

stray dove
#

thats not the solution you want to rely on either

#

but whatever works

#

there are better general purpose solutions that don't need to only target 2 operators

brave moss
pastel saffron
#

rose salt is great too

#

later on swire with mod also works

stray dove
#

Rose Salt, Shamare, Waai Fu

#

to name a few

#

Nymph Necrosis also

Nara Attack Steal

#

I love ed2 coz there are a lot of solutions yeah

stray dove
#

Mousse maybe

#

if high ASPD

pastel saffron
#

Ines also has attack steal but she needs to stay on field which is irky

brave moss
#

who should i pick for caster?

stray dove
#

either way, Ed2 needs some good execution

rapid matrix
pastel saffron
#

does shamare summon stay on field even if she's retreated btw?

stray dove
#

Logos is still decent

#

but i would not get him unless hope count is high

pastel saffron
#

Nymph is fine too, she can insta proc necrosis with s2

stray dove
#

depends on ATK

#

and enemy RES

#

so maybe

brave moss
#

do you save all your recruiment or use them right away? or it depend?

stray dove
#

that relic combo in the run

#

made that possible

pastel saffron
stray dove
#

but don't be fooled into thinking that it will work everytime

pastel saffron
#

for ed2

stray dove
#

no i meant

#

ele dmg procs

#

are related to how much arts dmg the enemy took

#

and that means their RES vs your ATK (in this topic, Nymph's)

do you see their comments about Blazer?

and you want people to read it?

brave moss
pastel saffron
pastel saffron
#

maybe ur being too soft

stray dove
#

but here's the thing

#

is Blazer really a decent left lane defense?

#

i can see why it'd be at least for furniture

#

but is it enough to kill Sharpedges?

#

or we talking stacked run here with DPS relics

brittle grove
#

The order not from top tbh, advice starting with joke anyway

stray dove
#

Pram alter for left side....

pastel saffron
# stray dove is Blazer really a decent left lane defense?

if you didn't have any other solution, it's still good to know

IS is mostly rng, what if game keeps throwing caster vouchers at you and you don't have many better solutions anyway

You can take even if cope, with some help you might leak less than you would have without blaze

they still said the voucher itself is fraud, it can also serve as a backup if u had extra hope and you picked her up on the way, u make a mistake can recover

also blaze is yan

Ideally you don't take blaze, but I think it's good they tell us about it, next is upto the person to think for themselves. Critical thinking is something

stray dove
#

the snow dots

#

that makes sense

faint rampart

it also slows them down with it

why are you wasting your hope picking 6 stars if voucher is fraud tho?

was reaching 12

#

i had some to burn

#

and i need more help

rapid matrix
#

welp i would rather burn it on shu leisure

stray dove
#

since caster vouchers keep spawning

#

due to CasSpec

a lot of Cas

#

not enough Spec

i can't even remember a single map wherein I really hugged a red box in IS6

and it actually being a good decision

#

no situations like this.

and this is a summon so it doesn't even count to that relic

it's a fun relic....if the red box of the map doesn't have tile bans near it

When do you use Wis S2 over S3 in IS5 btw, when you have chalice?

or is it stage dependant and not that much aspd

usually pathfinder at the start, but it is not guaranteed, a store can also show up, but it is mostly combat stages

let the big guys through RedOmegaLul

they split into a million

Good morning-ish, I still haven't decided on getting the SP regen booster or getting more DP to set up my ops in battles

winter belfry
#

ionic cradle
#

Tbh starting dp ain't much once you get a vanguard

winter belfry
#

easily

ionic cradle
#

No endings in this IS also increases DP as far as I can tell

rapid matrix
#

dp could become a problem if you are not using raidian. raidian kinda makes you not worry about it especially so since you have the -dp cost for summons relic

errant siren
#

I wanna remind you.

This shit exists.

ionic cradle
#

Well, most of the stages in this IS fairly gives you a room to breathe, enough for vanguards to do stuff up... Just the exception of turmoil

i couldn't deploy any operator lmao they started draining dp long before i could deploy someone. i don't pick that blademace? item that increases operator costs ever since

It's one of the few instances where that 99 DP coin have its niche work

Its either u have enough DP to even deploy Operators or u just get fucked with 0 DP

Like, just need to drop ines on the priest

The priest don't move so he can't spam regen ammo

raw hemlock

My only vg unit I have on the team rn is the reserve op

So you get dp

#

And then Raidian do what she do best

#

(warcrimes)

raw hemlock
#

So is everyone in agreement on me grabbing the soda?

ionic cradle
#

Good for cycling raidian more

#

Plus that also means faster recharge for vanguards

raw hemlock
#

Coins?

nocturne cape
#

I like woodwheel better here ngl

#

But its w/e

#

Soda is cool

ionic cradle
#

Martial Art is one of em I think, which is better than a vagary thing

#

(still a gamble)

#

Vagary only has like 1 flower

raw hemlock
ionic cradle
#

Good enough, despite its looks, it's "balance"

#

The thing is you wanna toss it on either the end or inside a bosky

raw hemlock
#

Got good vouchers for the pathfinder node right after too, used the two supporter vouchers to promote and 🕯️ Raidian AND Podenco, still got a sniper voucher tho
Promote Naran or get an extra sniper?

ionic cradle
#

Prob promote her first then maybe exusia?

glossy elk
#

try get to ED2 on IS6 for now is a pain

#

i go wait until they make more easly to do

ionic cradle
#

She becomes better with that aspd coin

ionic cradle
#

the spearmen can really set up a panic

glossy elk
#

i go the usual mytrle Wisadel and someone else

ionic cradle
#

Mix up raidian

#

Also lad usually hates arts

raw hemlock
#

I do have that one doubt node that needs 15+ max life points-

wary yacht
#

I’d personally go for max lp if your squad’s already good enough

pastel saffron
raw hemlock
#

Oh dear, this one... should I do Raidian s3 to get more ranged hitters on the boss?

ionic cradle
#

You could rush her with narantuya ngl

#

I think the lady has low defense anyways

wary yacht
#

Raidian S3 should be good enough to just solo the entire stage

raw hemlock
pastel saffron
ionic cradle
#

and the more crippled the defense the faster the shred, 200 is alot stolen

wary yacht
#

Yeah just let raidian solo

pastel saffron
wary yacht
#

S3 also does arts damage

raw hemlock
#

Where do the summons go in this case?

ionic cradle
#

She has 300 defense and 60 res

wary yacht
#

And let narantuya do most of the damage

raw hemlock
wary yacht
#

Raidian’s main use here will probably just to slow the boss before she reaches the talismans and killing the non boss enemies

#

And working as bait to take damage in place of narantuya incase ig

#

You don’t get a lot of deployment slots since you haven’t reached f4 yet with raidian

pastel saffron
#

bro is at d3, raidian can kill too

#

low stats

ionic cradle
#

the moon girl generally has low stats anyway

raw hemlock
#

Oh.... that was easier than I expected. Okay

#

Do I take the City Concerns coin?

#

I grabbed it anyway and then-

#

Floor fourrrrrrrrrrrrrr

#

Oh god the pathfinder node can only be reached by that damn Exemplary Service battle FUCK-

#

OH THANK GOD-

#

And now I'm getting Content Megamus as a coin-

smoky flicker
#

question : can sui's foot appear in wonderland turmoil nodes?

errant siren
#

As well as fuck up your plan to win.

smoky flicker
#

welp
currently floor 5, sui foot still at full health, i can either go for 1 combat node before prophecy or use 3 coupons to get to wonderland and have like 2/3 turmoils

ionic cradle
#

thing that I hate is that it immediately retreats away from the stage after one step

slate hull
#

you can fail turmoils on purpose to repeat them if you want to kill the foot, it helps because not all of them even let you position for killing the foot

smoky flicker
#

k finished the foot on turmoil aborrySweat

pastel saffron
#

what do options 2 and 3 do?

nocturne cape
#

square box = ed3, petal = ed4

pastel saffron
#

Thanks mate

raw hemlock
#

Can't invest, anything here look good to grab? (On floor 4)

#

nevermind I have a doubt node that needs hope to pass through I'm getting that flute

carmine token
wary yacht
#

yeah i'd check out every risk coin, they're always useful to have

raw hemlock
#

ok 12+ hope doubt node gave me string puppet and broken wand - arts weaving madodepressed

#

don't really have any ways to use either of them

#

but the other doubt node gave me firefly booklight and necklace of the presence

#

oof... newest doubt node wants me on 1 life point for the better rewards

#

okay floor 5 wants to be funny, I have a path with both pathfinder AND bosky, but the bosky is right before the pathfinder node

wary zodiac
#

How good Mantra will be in is if i have Tragodia

raw hemlock
#

it's perfect if bosky's AFTER the pathfinder node

#

most of the time, at least

sudden cloak
#

U get the vouchers on the bosky and then get the pathfinder : D

This is normal? Or it can be higger? (It’s my first message on all server haha)

Well dang, nearly filled out the map this time

ornate wave

Am I lucky if I got IS6's Sui's risk coin
It's the one that true dmg/s allies and enemies except ops on vargary tiles

It's in monthly mission with nian

prime mountain
#

That is a regular risk coin

#

That shows up as often as any other risk coin

ornate wave
#

It's my first time seeing this

#

Must've been a badluck

prime mountain
#

Not really cause its kinda ass, more like good luck

ornate wave
#

But it's true dmg..

#

If I stall long enough I'll win

100/s is nothing though

got 2 caster vouchers, do I get Amiya or blaze2?

Amiya's got her guard class unlocked

all non-reserve ops are candlelit except purestream (never got medic vouchers this run)

than 1 combat run?

prime mountain

Yes

pastel saffron
prime mountain
#

Than one full talons f6 run

pastel saffron
#

the strat is like 12 levels per hour

#

if 1 run takes an hour

#

Even a full run

#

idt it gives 12 levels

#

actually this video used lamp

prime mountain
#

Idk if I would take info from a guy who doesnt even understand how lamp works

pastel saffron
#

I am just confused about skill tree

pastel saffron
prime mountain
#

Might be idk, consider the factor of doing reset runs all the time that are the exact same and just menu gameplay

#

if that doesnt bore you to death it might be faster

pastel saffron
#

this how much it gives

#

I think full run should be about 1.5k(?)

pastel saffron
#

but the thought of being able to get 155 levels in 13 hours is

prime mountain
#

It is is5 so playing it is just as ass 😭

ivory badge
#

Does my team look ready? 🗿

prime mountain
#

Do you have other healers outside of just amiya? kinda sketch relying on gummy and amimi for heals on that map

#

I guess exu has self sustain

ivory badge
#

I guess Tinnie

#

And Myrtle if I'm desperate

slate hull
#

you have the hp on kill relic, so that helps a bit

prime mountain
#

Does tin man reach more than one tile?

#

Like all the ranged tiles are spread

ivory badge
#

Yeah he has a very wide range

prime mountain
#

I dont think he reaches bro

#

Did you check the map

ivory badge
#

First time doin this one

prime mountain
#

Oh wait he does reach but he can only heal one at a time, if you have sp relics its doable

#

Also dont spam too many units or you will get ball'd

ivory badge
#

Heal one at a time?

#

Is there something that restricts his healing

prime mountain
#

His aoe doesnt reach all the ranged tiles

#

melee healing isnt the issue

ivory badge
#

Ok I see

#

Hmm

pastel saffron
#

this IS is so bad

#

I regret not doing it when seeds were a thing

#

u could seed and win everything

prime mountain
#

For actually playing it its terrible

ornate wave
#

I started the run where nian is a guest defender

Got Tulip and Narantuya in one of the vouchers

like fym every run I have to get hands then kings relics then chalice otherwise I prolly explofe if I take a post expansion 2 stage

how do u trigger alt endings in IS5

nocturne cape
#

via encounter

#

its random

#

"Desire to Express" or whatever its called

#

and then you pick the option with Rolling Ancestor

raw hemlock
#

Which coins should I try to have flipped?

#

I've only had Desire Fulfilled flip once

#

same for Sapient Evolution, but Bustling Trade's flipped twice

prime mountain
#

I would just stay on this cause rolling two river would hurt

slate hull
#

probably evasion, city/trade and desire, but this isn't really a great coin collection

raw hemlock
#

flipped again, it gave me desire and evasion so I'll take it

#

that's still +60 ASPD

#

What skills should I change for ed1 btw?

wraith warren
#

Amiya can be lured?

prime mountain
#

It slightly helps with part 3 but not much

wraith warren
#

Yeah i can use that to help get rid of other stuff

prime mountain
#

I don't see the strategy, you cant use it effectively until her final stand

gentle leaf
#

im goated

#

didnt even get my ifrit e2

prime mountain
#

What is that touch placement 😭

steel relic
#

the lion does not concern himself with free SP to Exusiai

gentle leaf
#

what does that mean

#

its aimint into exuisai

prime mountain
#

She is healing NOBODY BUT VERDANT

gentle leaf
#

oh

#

touch

#

he was up there before

#

he died

prime mountain
#

Put her 2 tiles below verdant facing up diesfromcringe

gentle leaf
#

i put him down becasue i had needed to put another operator up there which died in meantime

#

i put touch originally aiming into exuisai

prime mountain
#

Wait that kroos placement is even more diabolical

#

gets hit by right side, doesnt hit them back

#

Did she also die earlier

#

everything is wrong here 😭

gentle leaf
#

again

prime mountain
#

but you won ig

gentle leaf
#

replayed her

#

i had her shooting the puppers and baloons

#

it was like this

#

when i replayed them it was just where i needed them

prime mountain
#

This wouldve been so much cleaner if you just didnt worry about ifrit at all :/

gentle leaf
#

nah ifrit is my goat

prime mountain
#

Yeah in like 1/2 stages

#

What you do when she doesnt have any good tile

#

and you dont have dp to deploy her

gentle leaf
#

if ifrit didnt kill the puppets i think exuisai would have not had enough ammo to take down puppets and the boss man

#

and i didnt have any real dodge baiters

gentle leaf
#

you see when i placed her

#

where *

prime mountain
#

It aint that great, barely hits the enemies going around in a circle and hits boss for 0 damage cause she isnt good at bossing

gentle leaf
#

she got puppets down to like 20% hp wym

prime mountain
#

You had kroos too, kroos did all the work

gentle leaf
#

and this was without s3

gentle leaf
prime mountain
#

is this where we learn you had crazy relics too 😴

gentle leaf
#

nothing to crazy

#

a bit of caster atk buffs

#

and sp restoration

prime mountain
#

"A bit of caster atk buff" did bro have -40% hp +70% arts damage

gentle leaf
#

no like +15% caster atk buff -5% sniper

rapid pulsar
gentle leaf
#

omg

#

yes

prime mountain
#

IS mod that gives her better range when grrrr

#

All it does is just 3 wide range, imagine

rapid pulsar

Like Ray archetype range?

obviously

simply make the good tile

doubles as a Fuze tile too!

they trade into lowest tier coin and not the regular risk ones

I mean I just thought they knew bout it, knowing what they did with IS3

me when intended gameplay mechanics

ionic cradle

I meant like the part where they torture players on higher diff

the fuckin IS2 & 3 cursed collectables

so they really toned down the sadism a bit...

and it's balls to throw a rng run

but you do you

flint pawn

Fuck

ocean hinge

if you want raidian prof you also need 6 candle guys and atleast a6

so plan for that

flint pawn
#

Working on that, currently at a5. The "next" challenge is the s1m2 challenge.

ocean hinge
#

yeah i hate the grind of same endings

it's really bad implementation imo

if you want all masteries that's like 9 endings plus for the module

The fisher oldman alter very rare in my case

I just read Ascalon module, X is for more CC, Y is for survivability
Probably should choose X right ?

brittle grove

X just lv1

split void
#

Is there any reason for that ?

brittle grove
#

Y if u can think with the usage, but like 12 blocks 👁️

split void
#

Like for Ines . I just lv1 cause lv3 make her kinda stronger so less hit

brittle grove
#

X for maximize -mspd, read the trait change

slate hull

I have seen the fisherman alter about 3 times, moon alter 2 times and never got the trio alter. These stages do seem really rare because I have done at least 40 runs

And the - movement speed in talent still the same

And lv2+ from X just wasted. Yeah u want only the trait change
