is-station

[sick mason]

Spook me instead in floor 2 wonderland

[vague rock]

Is this the 'Hour of Sui' that ppl talk about?

[sick mason]

Ye

There are 12 variants

Similar to the amount of Sui siblings (12 of course)

But only Yu's one is actually positive for us

The remaining 10 are just trying to fuck us up

Oh yeah did anyone realized that when I checked the hour of sui lists, the 10th isn't available?

Yet somehow the 4th is available

[stray dove]

there's 2 rare Hours

as in VERY rare procs

think of it like Image Discern or Partial Cecity in IS4

[sick mason]

2 rare hours? One of them is the fifth right?

[stray dove]

yes

tenth is the other one

[sick mason]

I didn't see the tenth in the candleholder's register here...

After ninth, it goes straight to eleventh...

[stray dove]

Cube only has this in CN. He doesn't have it in Global.

that's the 10th

[sick mason]

Ohhhh the 10th will arrive with expansion 1?

[stray dove]

it's already here

it's rare

whatever you thought about the fifth, or how you got it

think of it like you're lucky

[sick mason]

The 10th is a positive sui hour just like 12th?

[stray dove]

no

it's a minor annoyance at best

not as bad as the others

[errant siren]

No, negative.

When enemy receives damage, has X% to get Sleep for 5 sec.

[sick mason]

Oh I never get that sui hour then

I did got 5th once

[carmine token]

1%

[sick mason]

My gosh

[raw hemlock]

eepy schleepy enemies

[sick mason]

Bro I just entered floor 4

[stray dove]

you guys really value EXP that much huh

[sick mason]

Sooooo close

[sick mason]

As long as it's not tossed, we gud

But when its tossed, bruh

[stray dove]

when i mean rare Hour proc

it's like IS4 rare paradigm

and that rarity is like

worse than 6* proc chances

and has no pity

[stray dove]

you chose that risk

now eat it

[carmine token]

its an easter egg

[sick mason]

And I almost leak a damn mimic

[stray dove]

even the most dedicated IS players might not ever see it

[sick mason]

With me also owned 90 ingots

The mimic two shot my E2 Shu

[stray dove]

Mimics are no joke stats wise

DANG I WONDER WHY

you got guts i can tell that much

not only did you take that risk coin

you even fought the garden

[sick mason]

Yes and I fought it IN EMERGENCY VERSION

[split void]

[carmine token]

[sick mason]

Uhhh

[stray dove]

just pick Martial Fight

Primal is a win-more

Martial can carry the run if you're lacking DPS

[sick mason]

Also I realized I thought the max toss effect for the coin is not 2 times

But it's actually 3 huh

[stray dove]

i dunno

if it says stacks up to 2 times

it only stacks 1 time and 2nd time

so for me its cap is +40% ATK

[sick mason]

Hmm +20% ATK on first toss

[stray dove]

yeah

[sick mason]

Extra +20% atk on successive toss max 2 times

[stray dove]

on EACH successive

it includes the first toss

[sick mason]

No wonder why

[stray dove]

ngl

i don't know

whether its 40% or 60%

it's still an easy ATK coin

high numbers that are boss-tier

[sick mason]

Weiqi chance coin but less cancerous

[pastel saffron]

What nara skill yall use if also have archetto in squad?

[sick mason]

I'm Nara-less

[wanton rose]

obv s2

[heavy pumice]

if play IS5
i always do s2 skill for tuta

have no idea why s3 is the reccomend skill for tuta

[stray dove]

cause it has a nice amt of hitcount

perfect for IS6

either way

i don't bother using Tuya

[heavy pumice]

ofc you dont so no worry

hit count ehh
not even worth to m3 for that purpose

[split void]

What is the chance of getting these ?

[stray dove]

if you can flip tails 3 times in a row, you will

that luck is laughable when comparing it to hitting a 6* proc in a banner or getting IS4 or IS6's rare floor debuffs

[split void]

Like I have exactly 5 Dayan there and get them all

[sonic sable]

Living by the edge

[stray dove]

those are ANY fight in the Sui realm/WiW

they are "Turmoil" nodes

[raw hemlock]

Uh oh time to see my luck fluctuating

[serene pebble]

ohhh thx

[stray dove]

it will only show December 11 2025 until now

[raw hemlock]

When'd Masses Travels start?

[errant siren]

October. 🥹

[serene pebble]

where's game info

[stray dove]

Trag's banner was also far away

you guys never look at anything huh

[raw hemlock]

Aw damn it wont show my fails for rolling exu2

[raw hemlock]

Its almost 3am for me i am allowed to be dumb at this hour

anywayyyyy

[sick mason]

Wait

HG now added pull history?

Daamn

[stray dove]

not HG

Yostar

[errant siren]

Yostar*

[stray dove]

HG has that in CN for a while

and INGAME

[errant siren]

HG already implemented this year ago

IN GAME DIRECTLY

🥹

While we forced use website

For that

[stray dove]

this will always be the case as long as Yostar is Global's publisher

HG might now have the capabilities to self-publish....maybe even do international merch.
But i doubt they can just kick out Yostar from AK that easily

[hardy radish]

1/792 chance
or one over 12 choose 5

[sick mason]

FINALLY I FOUND YOU

I swear something as simple as this relic isn't discoverable after lots of runs before wtf

[sonic sable]

@wispy owl he found it look

[split void]

You pinged me , but after getting here I got shock with the history news

[lost anchor]

maybe you just usually skip it

[sick mason]

No I didn't

Holy mackerel

2 coupons for each statuegeist huh (with content megamus coin tossed)

[wispy owl]

No its just that rare

I found rare hour before it and i still havent found it

And im actively searching for it

[stray dove]

and it's not even final tier....

[solemn palm]

[wispy owl]

oh no...

yeah its not y

oof

Maybe ill go read about it on cn forums

[stray dove]

the commitment....even though there will be D18 in Expansion 2

[wispy owl]

I just go on one team to d12

[wanton rose]

👏

[tacit oyster]

I forgot how to play IS3 A18

FML Why do all my runs die at F1-3 because I never get any light and all ops do either no damage or die before anything

[craggy shadow]

Declare my Foldartals

[tacit oyster]

that's IS4, not IS3

[split void]

Never pick the 2nd one

Is it cool ?

[stray dove]

starter Geexu

People Squad

[stray dove]

it's like the sandstorm gimmick

but it nerfs your ATK hard

[tacit oyster]

It's the sandstorm from the from the RA, R6 1st event, and CC.

[stray dove]

unless you block the sandstorm with others

[tacit oyster]

Exu2 People squad?

[stray dove]

yeah

thats the strongest opener

for IS3 right now

[tacit oyster]

to get Ed4?

[stray dove]

to get anything in D18

[tacit oyster]

ok. Who else? What's the strat for it?

[stray dove]

the usual suspects

Wisadel

Trag

Geexu

kill from afar

as much as you can

Ela S3 is also amazing with Trag S2

permastall combo

[tacit oyster]

because Everyone gets infected with either a mix of -50%, hp bleed, frozen, but never really frozen + concentration

[stray dove]

relic D16

[tacit oyster]

k

[stray dove]

use it well

[tacit oyster]

Relic D16?

[stray dove]

thats why some mention that D15 is harder than D16-18

you get a relic in D16 onwards

[tacit oyster]

the one that passes the std, yeah

[stray dove]

yeah

with this, illnesses are technically ignorable

as long as you efficiently pass it off

every. fight.

[tacit oyster]

I have been filling my squad with 0 hope fodder, and when THEY get the debuff, THEY get the ascension, and none of my carries

[stray dove]

fill it with cheap ones

[tacit oyster]

and I never get actual dp generating vanguards

[stray dove]

even robot 1*

[tacit oyster]

ye

[stray dove]

IS3 is a simple meta

kill from afar

well well, that sounds like what our meta has been for a long while

ever since Wis, and now with Geexu and Trag

i waited for Trag

before i tried this

Weedy Ange strats are also strong

[tacit oyster]

so start the game with people squad, start with Exu2, get trag, ela and wis, and fodder

[stray dove]

for every boss

but easier to do with Ed1 and Ed4 boss

[tacit oyster]

and mlynar?

[stray dove]

sure

you need to learn how to do Ange Weedy

if you want easy D18 Ed4 IS3

and i recommend it

since Ange Weedy also makes Ed1 boss easier

because D18 Ed1 boss ain't a joke anymore

shit hurts

and you'd rather kick it off a hole while in Phase 1

[tacit oyster]

ok, ange I will borrow, but what do I build for weedy?

[stray dove]

S3

wait no

hmmm

i really do not recommend you borrow Ange

in such a difficulty

i guess just do Ed1-3

feel it out a bit

I'd rather you have your own Ange too

She's pretty good in IS overall

with her IS module

[simple kite]

Man

[tacit oyster]

Problem is when I do mizuki and get the encounter and loose 100 light, it stays 0 unless I'm lucky at early floor shop with a + light after every cleared battle, but I never get cerulean arbor

[stray dove]

lemme give you a secret

you don't need to recover light

with Weedy Ange strat

you don't need the better relic

hell, there's not much point

it only bulks up your ops and inflates block

it won't help much where it matters most, killing enemies

and the Weedy strat means you don't need to tank anything regarding Izumik

21 light before Izumik

[tacit oyster]

now how to weedy strat. I finally got to borrow an ange at a new run

[stray dove]

lemme check

[split void]

Not again

[stray dove]

it's always consistent how to kick out Izumik

the issue is how to feed Izumik so it gets to phase 2 as fast as possible

[split void]

Still have no Idea how to start the stage
||maybe I should read what the black ball do ||

[stray dove]

https://is-central.github.io/is3-mizuki/slaying-the-ocean/

try to check this out for now

I'm trying to find the video I used

as reference

I can't find it

Ask Cube or someone else who has the links

also check that guide if it has videos

I think it has some

[stray dove]

it can wake your operators up from the coma and bounces away if it does

it can open up the imprisoned enemies too if it goes to them...and then bounces away

in other words, you need to manipulate it to get an opening done while preventing some enemies from waking up too early

[split void]

Dang I should read

[tacit oyster]

was it better to start with ange or phantom? What about later?

[stray dove]

.....Geexu

like i said, i don't want you starting with a borrow

[tacit oyster]

fug

[sinful sparrow]

Try drafting mlynar/leizi
Or Ascalon/Yato/Mizuki

[tacit oyster]

I have no ange

[sinful sparrow]

Ur drafts look kinda piss for that map

[stray dove]

then do ed1-3 for now

[tacit oyster]

same reason I barely won Ed4 for IS2

either way, I have a choice after this node of either sniper or supporter voucher. Either I get a new sniper or I can either get trag or e2 angie

what would be reccommended

[tribal furnace]

Lmao i goofed hard time

[stray dove]

prioritize your DPS

Geexu and Wis needs to be prio

it's easier to get far with more damage

Trag, Weedy, Ange, those can wait later if possible

sometimes it really is up to luck if you get the vouchers you need

[muted tundra]

bruh T_T

[remote badger]

pretty cooked

[gaunt bay]

omg curieeeeee

haiiii

[muted tundra]

hiiii

[muted tundra]

we go again

[muted tundra]

ange fries...

[gaunt bay]

how are you doing silly :3

[gaunt bay]

shes cooked

[muted tundra]

waking up and playing IS for some reason

[gaunt bay]

wao

i have

no motivation to play IS

:c

[errant siren]

Don't cook her

I wanna cook

[remote badger]

no dopamine 🥀

[gaunt bay]

no energy no time no dopamine

alas

i wanna just eep

[muted tundra]

only d11 so that almost worked, just fucked up timing

[gaunt bay]

my goat curie is a d11 destroyer

🥀

[muted tundra]

PLS

I'm fighting for my life out herd

here

I'm starting astgenne

[stray dove]

there's always one constant, Statuegeist lives high chance.

[remote badger]

mmm thoughts

so i can continue maxing raidian

[tacit oyster]

FUCKING SPIKED CHESTS KILLED MY RUN

[muted tundra]

:c

[remote badger]

:3

[gaunt bay]

meow

[worldly delta]

……I hate Yi so much!! Why does he have a more annoying version of Tals fire ball attack!?

[remote badger]

the gameplay is simple

u just need to juggle him on top

[atomic fjord]

talismans are truly goated game design

[remote badger]

kinda fire

[tribal furnace]

One

Of the shittiest

WiW

I ever got

[remote badger]

lol

[cinder hamlet]

tickling him with Raidian S1 for 50 minutes straight

[remote badger]

yep

[tribal furnace]

Literally got only recover HP encounter

And fights i can't do yet

[remote badger]

speedrun isn't a thing

[tribal furnace]

Cool.

[stray dove]

agreed

not a single Trade in first 8 nodes

[stray dove]

it's just Dusk's Smartys

but flying

[atomic fjord]

immaculate talisman game design just removing half the gameplay for fun

[stray dove]

start using ops with better hitcount

or fast hits

this is as braindead as people not adjusting against the seaborn in IS3

I can already imagine Ulp users

[tribal furnace]

Not only that, but only HP recovery encounter and retrieve

Literal worthless wiw, I'm resetting the run as soon as i reach f3

[stray dove]

Ulp users amirite....

and they will constantly claim Talismans kill them

i fucking wonder why

[tribal furnace]

Lmao

Btw, talisman deal hp% damage right?

[stray dove]

no

[remote badger]

ppl cant get smarter tsk

[stray dove]

cause i can get very tanky

and the only issue is

i can't use skill

Arts

[tribal furnace]

I'm genuinely surprised, cause ulpi shouldnt be bothered by that

[stray dove]

....ummm

when i meant Ulp

[remote badger]

er

[stray dove]

it's about

him being shit at killing it

[remote badger]

slow af

[stray dove]

a subclass that has pretty slow ASPD

and ST

[tribal furnace]

Ah mb, i thought you meant hé couldn't tank it

[stray dove]

it's not about tanking

it's about SOLVING IT

[tribal furnace]

Yeah no.shit it can't be killed by ulpi

[stray dove]

you know....killing the thing

[void root]

Necrosis explosion or your ops gets corrupted by mutations or talisman sticking on your face whats worse

[remote badger]

these r so tanky bru

[tribal furnace]

Best way still are dots/counterhits

[stray dove]

guys

talismans are just fucking furniture

GET WITH THE PROGRAM

[tribal furnace]

Like tequila, bp or Ascalon

[void root]

BP in IS6

[stray dove]

you don't even need her

[tribal furnace]

Yeah you don't

[stray dove]

Wis deals with it easily

so does Raidian S2

want some more help?

Ethan S1

doesn't matter if he's E0 lvl 1

he will destroy talismans

[tribal furnace]

I never use S1....

[stray dove]

....

i can see that you never did Ling's event

[tribal furnace]

I did!

But not with him

[stray dove]

so you did it with BP

[tribal furnace]

I had... My way

[stray dove]

too expensive

or Thorns

too expensive as well

[tribal furnace]

Yup for example

[stray dove]

oh would you look at that

a nice 2 DoTs with his normal attack

3 procs in one go

4 dots without masteries too if you bother to E1 level him and SL7

[tribal furnace]

Yeah i got it

No need for it now since... Well

Ascalon

[stray dove]

sure

Specialists still being too stacked

[tribal furnace]

But yeah alright, i'll remember it when i can't get her in IS

[stray dove]

Geexu, Ya2, Ascalon, Mizuki, Ela, Ethan

[tribal furnace]

Agreed, most FRD are goated

[stray dove]

.....

sure.

[remote badger]

and the actual issue is spec tickets is so rare bru

[stray dove]

then play Casspec

I'd rather my squad be very mixed class

thus why i'm not a fan of class squads

not even DefSupp

[tribal furnace]

You can't deny that, Texas and Crownslayer are not bad by any mean

[remote badger]

texas bad

she just literally

[stray dove]

have you tried using Tex2 in max diff?

[remote badger]

dies after a fucking ms

[stray dove]

cause....you must have some rose-tinted glasses

[tribal furnace]

Sorry thought about general content

[stray dove]

oh thats fine

[tribal furnace]

Not specifically is

[muted tundra]

texas with 4-shield tongbao is admittedly kinda smexy

but

meh

[stray dove]

absolutely. We can have fun with anything in gen content

[tribal furnace]

Yeah, i can see why Yato is prefered to texas

[stray dove]

even in the shittiest camping enemies

Ya2 S3 will happen

[void root]

The humble Ya2 S3 invincible

[stray dove]

and they can't do anything to kill her until they get beybladed

[muted tundra]

texas's last hurrah was cresson on release

almost two years ago...

[tribal furnace]

Crownslayer is not invincible btw during S3

[stray dove]

yeah RES shred on S2.

[stray dove]

camo, right?

[tribal furnace]

Invisibility

But

[stray dove]

oh...

rough

[tribal furnace]

Can die from env

E.g. can die from chap 14 tornado

[muted tundra]

how is chat today

[remote badger]

eepy

[muted tundra]

[gaunt bay]

so tired

:c

[tacit oyster]

I fucking hate IS3

Izumik can't be done without fucking ange

and fucking spiked chests everyywhere killed all my dps because they were in critical spots

[sinful sparrow]

been sick since monday

[stray dove]

it can. It's just that.....the alternate way to beat D18 Izumik is far harder.

and i'd only recommend such a thing if you were into the challenge of it all

but ngl it's already hard to get to Izumik in D18

[fast wasp]

what does swalter with is mod do?

[muted tundra]

[muted tundra]

why is chat dying.....

[stray dove]

mod1 actually makes her feel like a redep fuel

it also feels like she's made for Support Squad in IS6

due to how easy it is to get high ingot in it

[tacit oyster]

I got to him at D18, but Walter, Cheeto, Ela, Silverash andlemon were not enough to kill the jellies in time. Izumik spawned a bunched, walked over them in less than 2 seconds, and nuked my setup

[stray dove]

even in D15

you never fight Izumik normally

unless you have Shawl (even with Shawl he has a nuke that bypasses camo)

cause every fart he does one taps everyone

[bright otter]

it’s not really that hard anymore, only annoying to reset runs if you don’t find the light recover encounter relic

[stray dove]

depends

for example

even sweatlords mentioned that the best way to address WFU in D18

is leaking most of it

with addressing as many normal enemies as possible

so it doesn't kill you

the other F6 fight? Freebie.

OOC? yeah there will be leaks even with Wis' S2 solving everything on top

although

every other map

will be solvable with no leaks

just difficult for some of em

[bright otter]

yeah it’s f6 the main challenge and sometimes wonderland if you try that for more relics

[stray dove]

yeah i'd not risk IS3 WiW

even if it's just Walmart Faust/FN

[bright otter]

ooc is always a skip or you lose

[stray dove]

sooner or later you will cross one

and yeah i had my time with it

enough to learn that you have to....adjust Wis' revenant spawn

by dropping a unit to block where it normally goes

Mechanical Menace wasn't a joke either. The damn starting UFO is tanky due to all the diff mods making it last a long while

also another thing to skip if you can....Territorial

anything with Pompeii is just too dangerous when there's too many stats given to enemies

[stray dove]

and yeah i agree with this

it can't be anymore easier than now

due to Geexu starter and Trag later

but it's still no walk in the park i can tell you that. IS3 D18 later floor fights give me more anxiety than anything IS6 does.

TLK's HP

nervous procs will feel as ass as ever

he lived that since that was the last Crawler

[bright otter]

i redid the endings in d18 before they came out and also without wis because i don’t like her, my overall experience was very nice, the only one i haven’t done was izumik

[stray dove]

sounds plausible

Geexu, Ela, Trag sounds enough for me so being Wisless doesn't feel as rough

[bright otter]

i did nara starter, she afk stages in f1 even on emergency

this nara tile in ed3

[bronze vale]

Chat how to consistently win on is6 because sometimes my damage sucks and sometimes my damage is crazy

[stray dove]

get the necessary relics or coins that might help your damage

it only gets rough in latter floors when you're still lacking anything that improves damage

but IS6 has a lot of ways to improve damage

even if it's just -Max HP% relics/coins, that counts

[bronze vale]

Ah i see i still need to rely on rng then

[stray dove]

unless you plan to do IS relicless

or in D0

you will rely on relics

[bronze vale]

I want to grind the exp so i do need to rely on relic

[stray dove]

well clearly it did

when you noticed how ass one of your runs are

[bright otter]

these 3 relics are the core of is6 imo, you only need 1 and work around them to increase their buffs, they’re quite common you usually get them in f3 boss stage and it’s possible to get them in f1 shop

there’s also the candleguest one

[stray dove]

don't rely too much on them

sure they appear frequently enough

but they're all boss-tiers (except the flower coin relic buff)

there's a lot more you can consider help

the usual stuff from older IS DPS relics

i think no need to talk about those

this really makes Wis and Geexu turn into monsters

especially Geexu

there''s at least 3 relics that improve summon damage

The Mask series shouldn't be ignored too much

cause it really makes anyone blocked get melted even if slowly

especially since we have incoming Hoshitter

this will sound really good for enemies Hoshitter blocks

this....is boss-tier so unlikely but do not ignore it too much. Guardians (pre-Hoshitter) can really deal some decent damage due to their naturally decent ATK stats

just don't ignore most of the relics that could improve your DPS. I haven't even talked about some of the class book redesigns. And I'd rather not talk about coins since you can't rely on them being present in every floor

[sick mason]

That was fast

[bright otter]

what do we think about the fear mask? fear relics can be really annoying in is6

[stray dove]

if you see this....IT'S WORTH IT

[stray dove]

the other fear relic was fine. Charcoal....just ignore it if you can

[stray dove]

50% ATK on most IS6 enemies....take it

[bright otter]

that one actually helped me like one single time in the manmade carnival stage, it helped to buy a lot of time

[stray dove]

if you get the Stamp event, depending where you found it, pick any of the following.

they're all solid DPS relics

[stray dove]

there's a few times it helps

but most of the times....it's shit

it's shit here....

it's shit here.

[sick mason]

Where in the world can I find this thing

[stray dove]

it literally showed you instructions

[bright otter]

lost and found

[void root]

Exchange your Yi lock in Lost and Found

[sick mason]

Ohh the normal Yi lock

[void root]

The relic upgraded into 8 tiles now refund 10 DP

Or 4 idk

[sick mason]

I barely ever focused on this because of the vagrary tiles desc

[stray dove]

READ EVERYTHING

most relic or coin upgrades are a nothing-burger (maybe even all of them)

or not worth a node revisit to upgrade them

you just do it for relic or coin collection completion

it's rare for you to feel like your damage is weak in IS6 unless your luck is really that bad

[tribal furnace]

Guys

[tacit oyster]

the refresh node I'd say is worth it. on toss, is a free flower token and free node reveal in bosky

[sick mason]

Tch a mimic in an emergency stage

[tribal furnace]

I'm not doing To Market (EO) with this right?

[sick mason]

A Chalter start? Bold

[tribal furnace]

Yeah, i like to take random aaaah operator to start

I'm at d10 btw

[stray dove]

that's fine if you upgrade it in your first visit of Plan

[ornate wave]

I got specter from recruitment is she worth investing

[stray dove]

but i am never wasting a Candle REVISITING Plan node to upgrade it

[tacit oyster]

yeah, I only visit plans once

[tribal furnace]

Yes

[tacit oyster]

so save it if you have the specific coin

[tribal furnace]

So, should i try to market EO with my squad? (Lmao)

[sick mason]

Geist binding rope or timeworn poetry strips?

[stray dove]

Geist for me

since it also improves cost and redep

Raidian will not be eating deployment limit in F4 onwards

pick Strips if you're using other summons that eat deployment limit

[sick mason]

I guess strips is just good if you're a Ling user

Also I don't like the design of this WiW, especially if the doubt node that contained ed3 on the right side

[stray dove]

you still have that Retrieve

to unlock 2 other nodes

or the legend or the leisure

with the many WiWs I've seen

yours ain't even close to being shit

[faint rampart]

ni—

guess thats a restart

[sick mason]

Wait a floor 2 can actually NOT contain a WiW node?

What the actual

[main bison]

before I use this instant M3, Swire Alter that that good?

or she kind of meh good?

[stray dove]

acceptable

she's effective especially in this IS where it's easy to get rich in ingots

but she ain't no Geexu or Wis or Trag or Hoshitter

[remote badger]

ask cube for further informations

[main bison]

Geexu?

[faint rampart]

ive seen people not have it on f3 ( i think) before

but f2

[sick mason]

Exusiai the Covenant

[main bison]

oh Exu2

[faint rampart]

ugh

[sinful sparrow]

why would bro even put trog in the same category as exu

[main bison]

Tragodia's pretty good

[sinful sparrow]

the more i play this theme the more i realized this mf is cringe 🥀

[sick mason]

Most people ain't gonna go to WiW in floor 3 anyway if the path strayed from pathfinder

Unless if they don't like conserving vouchers

[stray dove]

as someone who did all endings on all squads

don't even think about getting WiW in F3 or F5 unless it aligns with Pathfinder
As for F5, it depends really whether you need WiW or Pathfinder more

[faint rampart]

[main bison]

WiW? Feel like you guys are talking greek

[sick mason]

Fine

Bosky

[stray dove]

all i can recomend is F3 is Pathfinder aim

you want more candleholders

[remote badger]

wonderland

[stray dove]

and if you can't align it with WiW pathing, touch chance

[sick mason]

It's kinda acceptable to skip F3 WiW

[stray dove]

it's only 3 candles anyways

in F3

[sick mason]

But F5 one still feels kinda bad since it gives u 5 candles

[faint rampart]

[main bison]

oh, Bosky?

[stray dove]

you're gonna have to sacrifice it

[remote badger]

yeh

[stray dove]

for Pathfinder F5 if you're stacking Bells or doing Ed3

[remote badger]

theres a lot of term for it

[sick mason]

Bosky but no bullshit requirement to enter

[stray dove]

WiW, Bosky, Sui Realm

all those are the same thing

[faint rampart]

yea
and you pretty much need pfinder for ed3

[sick mason]

Like IS3's key, IS4 interference Index or IS5's plans

[main bison]

I've just never heard it as WiW

[stray dove]

its the very first thing to ever exist in IS

[faint rampart]

skipping two floors bosky i might die

[stray dove]

IS3's WiW

Wonderland

[sinful sparrow]

i think people are worrying too much about ed3

you dont need too much nerds for it

[main bison]

see, where do you get WiW from Wonderland?

[sinful sparrow]

wander into wonderland?

[faint rampart]

2+3

[sinful sparrow]

[stray dove]

someone doesn't play enough

[sick mason]

It's literally the name

[faint rampart]

mika gimme ur clear so i can copy

[muted tundra]

mika gimme a hug so i can cope

[stray dove]

WiW is the shortest way to shortcut this. IS4's term uses Bosky Passage

IS5 uses..."Possibility?"

I forgot

IS5 we just kept using the term Bosky

[muted tundra]

SRC

take it or leave it

[sick mason]

Ye IS5 name is possibility node too

[muted tundra]

WiW is the only reasonable way to abbreviate the node anyway

[errant siren]

Yep

[stray dove]

moving forward, i don't know if the regulars here will leep using WiW or Bosky

either term just means the same thing for regulars anyways

[bronze vale]

How to unlock this one?

[stray dove]

a pocket floor to get stronger or stall the run in

[remote badger]

do ed1

[stray dove]

Turmoil = fights in WiW/Bosky/Sui Realm

[main bison]

I haven't played IS3 in a long time

[stray dove]

"Turmoil" node

[bronze vale]

Ohh wait do i need to fully explore turmoil or nah?

[remote badger]

and do the at least 2 combat nodes in bosky

[stray dove]

all it's saying is in D6

get Raidian

beat 2 WiW fights

and do Ed1

normal stuff ngl

[bronze vale]

Ohh okay thanks

[stray dove]

you would accidentally do it

if you're doing your best to get stronger

[sick mason]

Don't worry because enemies in turmoil nodes in D6 are still nerfed

However in D7 boi

[stray dove]

heh....

there's a reason i usually don't fight Turmoils in F2 WiW

unless I'm packing E2 Raidian, E2 Wis, or E2 Geexu

[sinful sparrow]

huuugggs

[stray dove]

it's also to stall potential Stir Fry drop and stack

[sinful sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/hugtrip-gif-2490966530865073004

[stray dove]

so I'd rather do Turmoil fights in F4 WiW

[sinful sparrow]

stalling for stir fry stack ew

[stray dove]

stalling Turmoils is also for best rewards

[sinful sparrow]

theres nothing to copy bro

[stray dove]

most Turmoils have Duck Lord mobs

and i want them dead

[sinful sparrow]

i havent seen your 50 relics run

where is it

[faint rampart]

you're a good player, surely i can learn a thing or two

[stray dove]

why need 50 when 3 will do

[bronze vale]

I usually cant because dawg I cant hold the urge to instantly use recruitment voucher

[sick mason]

Dude try to conserve them

Using them in pathfinder nodes costs -2 hope and that's huge

[faint rampart]

50 relics

[slate hull]

I'm more impressed you managed to upgrade the yi lock

[bronze vale]

Im worried I will died before reach that

[faint rampart]

ignore thats d7

[stray dove]

i hate upgrading Yi Lock

wanna know why?

it puts the normal Yi Lock back in relic pool

[faint rampart]

and you end up getting it again

[stray dove]

and i did

[errant siren]

MORE YI LOCKS

[muted tundra]

[sick mason]

Two Yi locks

Dang

[errant siren]

If it was possible with salad or drum

[muted tundra]

yi locktober never ends

[errant siren]

🥹

[stray dove]

Diff runs so low I don't rob Cannot yet during this time.

but i saw this in my own run

[sinful sparrow]

bro is gonna call me a good player

crazy

🥀

[sick mason]

Yi lock is probably the only lost and found exclusive exchangable relic where people doesn't want to get it for the 2nd time :v

I mean if you exchange osmanthus goblet once and you find it again, you'll be happy to exchange it again

[faint rampart]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/811610411640160301/1034548155586449409/ezgif.com-gif-maker_23_20.gif

[stray dove]

well...good luck

i'm not wasting my time visiting a 2nd L&F

[sick mason]

Who knows if u have arduous trade coin or they just in the same path as pathfinder

[stray dove]

i'd sooner go to a different valuable node

the biggest value i tend to get in L&F are mostly....absent in IS6

it was either that the ending route was in it (IS4 and IS5)

or I had a debuff relic i can remove (IS2, IS3, IS5)

[faint rampart]

uh what does cannot's mark do? cant find the one in is6... unless its just same as prev versions

[errant siren]

Unfortunately it was changed.

Instead giving hope

It does invest your ingots when your run ends.

[faint rampart]

that doesn't sound very pog

[errant siren]

60% of amount of your have before end
And caps at 60 (?)

[faint rampart]

i mean for the run atleast

[stray dove]

i guess it helps go from 250 to 500 with that relic

but Mark isn't even that common to get

[sick mason]

Such a dream shop in F2 WiW

[grizzled nexus]

Huh, I thought that Pathfinder and Wonderland nodes are hardcored to be not in the same path in floor 3

[stray dove]

there will always be lucky alignments

[errant siren]

No, it's just Luck check.

[sick mason]

What

[steel relic]

If they attach while she’s grounded they’ll stay when she levitates

[sick mason]

Damn that sucks

[paper notch]

damn what even is the logic behind this 😭

[stray dove]

there is logic behind it

she ain't camo'd

she ain't corporeal

she's a Guard

[open finch]

Isn't this like the thing where spalter slow only needs to lock on for 1 frame

They can be invis afterwards and the slow still applies

[stray dove]

A reminder that....you can time out Wang's poison debuff relic while the battle hasn't started yet in Pathfinder

[sick mason]

Does that also apply in face-off?

[grizzled nexus]

Btw, What's the actual full text of the cut off text on Pathfinder nodes like above?

[stray dove]

no? because it ain't the actual stage

in pathfinder fight, that is the actual stage

it's just that you choose when to apply the enemies/lightning

[remote badger]

oops

i got feeted too hard

[stray dove]

A reminder that

if you're doing Ed2, try not to Spill

[remote badger]

apparently i did

if i remember right

[lost anchor]

2 more days til hoshi2 is she better than leizi2 in is6

[cloud cairn]

what

Am I looking at

[misty walrus]

Some of those risk coins are really good

[remote badger]

no comparison

[stray dove]

Martial and Spill

[remote badger]

and go play defsupp

[stray dove]

just think of Hoshitter as one of the strongest arts nukers, blocks 3, and difficult to actually die

like....we're talking her natural HP is literally 300% of her main max HP

because 100% of it is normal, while 200% of it only appears in negatives and isn't healed naturally (by green heal)

if you activate her "deactivate S3" her S3 nukes harder

she and any operator within her S3 range becomes immortal

[lost anchor]

like hoshi2 is so much better or different roles

[stray dove]

and then she gets yeeted out after skill ends

[faint rampart]

wth message disappeared

[stray dove]

the closest thing to even compare with Hoshitter is....Horn and THAT'S A STRETCH even for me

just think of her as hard to die, amazing boss killer, defender

it's been a long time since a defender voucher can net you a great nuker by modern standards

but just keep in mind, her solid module ain't available on her release

it's gonna be a bit later

[sinful sparrow]

bro forgot surtr

[cloud cairn]

Failed hard

Emergency feng shui waiting for me

[stray dove]

Surtr doesnt lane

I'd rather compare Hoshitter to Viv than to Surtr's redep nuking ass

[sinful sparrow]

you're crazy if you think hoshi lanes either

she doesn't

her s3 is literally just surtr s3 but better

[stray dove]

Ummmm

You can use S3

And NOT deactivate it

Sure the DPS aint gonna be more absurd but at least she remains in the board

[sinful sparrow]

okay, then what is she laning offskill?

[stray dove]

With her 667+55 ATK base

[sinful sparrow]

so nothing

essentially just out of the lane anyways anyways

[stray dove]

Your choice

[sinful sparrow]

who gives a sh

[stray dove]

All i'm saying is

You can make her do good DPS while not forcing her to get kicked out

It might not align with your IS roles but it makes for all purpose in other content

[sinful sparrow]

ulpianus gladiia content 🥱

[stray dove]

Some of us here want her to tank hits that would rock Ulp's HP

[stray dove]

Yeah I do love seeing them barely help in Geexu and Nasti's event

[sinful sparrow]

?

nasti event boss's afk strat is literally ulpi gladiia haruka on 8 and EX-8

what are you on

??

[stray dove]

Oh wowz....Gladiia's S2. How....decent

[sinful sparrow]

where got "barely help"

[stray dove]

Aaand how about Geexu?

Another AFK I'm not seeing or something?

As much as you find gen content Ulp Gladiia central, I find it as anything to not use AH on. I hate AH as much as some people here hate Wis in IS. Boring and unfun

And I have this minor happiness that Ulp aint a hotshot or must recruit in recent ISs and expansions

[cerulean star]

not even close.

[stray dove]

Raidian S1

Stall Yi while he's at the top

As much as possible

[cerulean star]

i managed to just silence the bombers tbh

and then nuke yi

[stray dove]

Thats not the solution long term

[cerulean star]

i unfortunately stacked up the risk tokens and got yi to a ridiculous high defensive stats

[cerulean star]

yeah i was just playing w more characters than running the same stuff over and over

[sudden cloak]

I cant wait to change quercus with Haruka

[faint rampart]

huh random coupon f1 first fight

[civic tinsel]

Any things to note before I go play Weiqi with this mf? This is my first time fighting him

[split void]

[faint rampart]

you have chalice, all will be good

~~try to clear those balls with frd/melee and don't get overwhelmed by them ~~

[steel relic]

Isn’t clearing balls with frd just Sisyphus simulator

I thought he summoned one every time you deploy someone

[faint rampart]

is that so
just said that cuz his ranged ops will get stunned at some point if doesn't start clearing them
could be wrong

could be melee ops too but uhhh

[chrome whale]

Hey chat, I made quilon more evil

[arctic panther]

not with yato s3

rare appearance in AKO lol

[faint rampart]

your evil ideas shouldn't get out in the world so :ggnod:

[chrome whale]

lmao, if I get my hands on a map editor this world is doomed

[civic tinsel]

My first try as well. Thanks

[faint rampart]

congrats

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/892650201142153226.gif

[steel relic]

Abysmal dogshit

[civic tinsel]

Somehow ED3 is easier than ED2 (the balls are kinda annoying but fast redeploys handle them quite easily) for me

[grizzled nexus]

Has anybody tried the 1v1 Armor of the Empire with only a single Melee Unit?

[civic tinsel]

Zuo Le may be able to do it?

Since this is not the boss version, I think

[slate hull]

I always wanted to try Yu s2 on this, but it never shows up when I have Yu

[errant siren]

Yep.

ZuoLe straight up solo this mf.

[faint rampart]

~~bro you had chalice ~~

could be, you get an extra floor for more drops

[civic tinsel]

Eh I could have still choked

[faint rampart]

yesyesyesyesyes

[grizzled nexus]

Huh, first time I know that this Legend node got bonus after crossing 10 nodes.

Way longer than bonus option in campfire node that need at least cross 5 nodes.

[sonic sable]

Block him or die

[pastel saffron]

wait so I just realized

if I don't get lamp encounter on f1 after 2 combats

my run is over basically?

restart?

or is it possible to get lamp on f2

[arctic panther]

[arctic panther]

its possible

[proven dagger]

I've gotten ling node 3 runs in a row

every run it's been a spec cast run where I have little ingots

oh god

clapped by em away hui

🥀

[dreamy rampart]

idk even know how you win this stage, every time i get this

[pastel saffron]

at d15 if yoi don't have a fuck ton of relics yeah cooked

trag s3 + strong medic can help I think

This stage is consistently solvable after hoshi2

ok I don't understand, how is grandwish forcing a properity epoch, is this related to end5 encounter?

Bair also emphasized on these inspirers

What exactly is hovercraft? is this the thing that gives ingors

or do I need to save them for smth more important later

[nocturne cape]

Original Script + Chalice

W

[wary yacht]

Yes and they also take them if you fail to kill them

It’s -/+5? iirc

[pastel saffron]

oh so its important for chalice

and how does grand wish help?

[wary yacht]

Windows also give originium i think

With no downsides i dont remember

Wait no you just enter prosperous epoch

Basically use on whatever the final boss floor is unless you have multiple

[pastel saffron]

I see, what about the inspirer which summons a portal

the portal only eats an op when I kill

how is that helping

[wary yacht]

it promotes them on the next floor you enter

include boskies

[pastel saffron]

so how does it select which operator to eat

[wary yacht]

just note that exiting a bosky wont promote your operator if they get eaten in there

[wary yacht]

last deployed

[wary yacht]

you'll have to wait until the next floor for it to take effect if they get portal'ed in a bosky

[pastel saffron]

so if u kill it, eats the last deployed op, and then the op comes back on next floor like they would after a scout

[wary yacht]

yep

[pastel saffron]

Btw is Leizi better than Mlynar in IS5, or Mlynar is supreme coz of Taunt

[wary yacht]

idk ive never used leizi in is5

it's probably up to your relics tbh

her s1 can be really funny paired with a bunch of those attack up on skill activation relics

[proven dagger]

yeah hopefully this can take on cold moonlight

[pastel saffron]

yeah spinach, I was also thinking that she might be better coz of this

and the fact takeoff makes her safer, and she can hit stuff behind her with s2, and shred stuff in close range with s3

she has 3 usable skills over mlynar's 1, I was just unsure if taunt is good here

[proven dagger]

fuck almost won

messed up a deployment for the clone

🥀

[arctic panther]

phantom solo when

[proven dagger]

oops

no air stuns

[errant siren]

Looks like you leak this boss.

[proven dagger]

yeah

[steel relic]

Chat do we see the vision

Ente s1

[winter belfry]

Garrison is infinitely worse

[pastel saffron]

oh my god I think I wasnt paying attention, is there some debuff which reduces ur unit limit, I have 2 unit limit now

[proven dagger]

[errant siren]

Yes.

There's blunt -DeployLimit Epoch.

Up to -3 in high diffs.

[pastel saffron]

yeah its -3

why do I have 5 in the first place

[errant siren]

Um, 6 is initially
-1 by Difficulty 10 condition

I guess that.

[pastel saffron]

I see

I think skill tree also gives a unit limit probs

need to check

[steel relic]

It does

[proven dagger]

bro

i dont have the coin up for Yi 😭

🥀

[obsidian haven]

dalao

[steel relic]

The other one was inner rage too

[rough sonnet]

is there a limit on how many reserve ops you can bring to face off

[steel relic]

I can’t clear this shit

[faint rampart]

reserve ops...face off? wha

just gimme both of the relics instead of random rare trash

[pastel saffron]

what's the unlock requirement for this? (IS5 End3)

it was already unlocked for me

[rough sonnet]

i brought a reserve medic and it gave me both medics in my squad,no screenshot tho

[faint rampart]

hmm

so like you got extra reserve op?

could be the relic which gives uhh

[steel relic]

Iirc don’t retreat anyone

[faint rampart]

reserve ops in battles

[rough sonnet]

🤔

[faint rampart]

wait nvm it only works in suicons

[rough sonnet]

never found it

[errant siren]

Basically your Coin backpack.

It's already working rn.

Without toss.

[nocturne cape]

Arduous Trade is always active

[lapis tangle]

I feel like the moment I toss coin one more time after starting, most coins turn blank. How do I efficiently get more coins

[pastel saffron]

oh, also is there any mechanic with patriot phase 1 that makes it that if he is away from u he takes less dmg?

[pastel saffron]

they drop from bosky combat and normal combat and faceoff, can buy from bosky shops or normal shop, can get from normal or bosky encounter, can get from leisure node even, plan node also drops

coins are everywhere

[lapis tangle]

I feel like I'm not being efficient with the bosky stages

[steel relic]

There’s an aura around him that reduces his damage taken from anyone outside of it by 80%

[pastel saffron]

oh no wonder my leizi wss doing 500 dmg and all of sudden jumped to 3200

[pastel saffron]

just enter bosky later if ur not confident on early floors, or even if u enter skip battles ig

usually tho if u have an e2 carry luke raidian, exia, wisadel

battles are pretty straight forward

[lapis tangle]

I think i have a handle on the battles tbf. It's whether I'm using candles on the right stages

[pastel saffron]

that comes from experience if

[lapis tangle]

Inside bosly battles have been chill in ascension 3

[pastel saffron]

ig
