is-station

[rapid pulsar]

You have only unlocked 12 nodes

[halcyon flame]

?

You get 3 candles on F3 bosky but F4 and 5 give more

[rapid pulsar]

Yeah that’s why I said 9 candles naturally

[steel relic]

you get 8 naturally

[rapid pulsar]

1 from skill tree

[sick mason]

It's more like you get candle in floor 1 wonderland, you go to next floor, enter floor 2 wonderland (which you have 10 candles at that point unless if you do tianshi bureau squad or have that relic that add 1 extra candle), if you do combats in here and conserve so many vouchers, consider skipping f3 wonderland if not in the same path as pathfinder, enter floor 4 wonderland, floor 5 wonderland is optional but pretty much same condition as floor 3 (it might be more complicated if you do ed3 perhaps?)

[sinful sparrow]

i take f3 bosky

pathfinder kinda w/e

[steel relic]

oh there is a skill tree candle mb

[sonic sable]

Do u guys think it's better to take f3 bosky if u can't take pf?

[rapid pulsar]

Someone gets me

[sick mason]

I only do that if my voucher conservation limit is not filled by like more than half

[sonic sable]

What about f5 pf?

[sick mason]

Floor 5 pathfinder is pretty normal and skippable if u don't do ed3

Considering I don't want to do Clarity while I'm in floor 4

[nocturne cape]

Thats usually for ending 3

[sonic sable]

If not going for ed3 u ignore f5 pf?

[nocturne cape]

If not going for ed3 i usually take f5 bosky because its 5 candle

But if i have bell or the bosky pathing is ass ill consider it

[ripe summit]

Guys. I need your help. Anyone here had tips for Ops useful in IS5? I need mats for Trag on lv55

[main bison]

WTB skill PST

[silver mulch]

• wisadel
• wisadel
• wisadel

but okay to be frfr with you

it really doesn't matter

is5 is ridiculously easy if you abuse Lamp of Wishes

[carmine token]

u forgor ros ismod

[silver mulch]

ngl i didn't even use ros ismod cuz nobody in my friend list uses her

but from what ive experienced, wisadel brings the most consistent results by far

[ripe summit]

Nice tips thanks

Anything else other than Wisadel?

[carmine token]

check pin for lamp usage

[silver mulch]

yeah just
pick blueprint squad
get the lamp of wishes
refresh stages if they are not lamp

i would recommend taking first floor encounters though, there's an encounter that gives you the multiplying collectible thought

[carmine token]

rosmostis

[silver mulch]

for my squad i usually picked the first move squad

wisadel, cantabile, and jaye

[nocturne cape]

Wis Greyy alter Krooster

[main bison]

Why does Yo suck so bad?

[nocturne cape]

And you should be good

[main bison]

Cube, help me suck less

[ripe summit]

Kroos is a banger with ASPD

[nocturne cape]

No need for ros unless you want to dive deeper in IS5

[main bison]

Why does Yi for ending 3 suck so bad?

[ripe summit]

True damage front and backshot

[main bison]

I don't even know what that means

[ripe summit]

Man with E2 hoshi2 too. Damn

[main bison]

I can literally clear most all maps without issue, but Yi sucks

[nocturne cape]

Tank him in the middle with hoshi and healer, play until 21 kills, retreat everyone, wait til he walk to the left side, redeploy hoshi on the left

[main bison]

I know it's like IS5 where I was missing something

[silver mulch]

do note that you need to balance out the wish fulfilled nodes with encounters and etc

but yeah it's completely foolproof with the blueprint squad if you want to no brain speedrun

[halcyon flame]

You literally stick hoshi in front of the red box + haruka

[main bison]

That E1 Eyja was my only medic

[nocturne cape]

Doesnt matter

[ripe summit]

The fairies he summon that deals massive damage. Isn't that what killed your Ops?

[main bison]

Do you see Haruka?

[nocturne cape]

And use hoshi s2

[ripe summit]

noted

[main bison]

I did

[halcyon flame]

Did you see a supporter voucher

[main bison]

No

[carmine token]

sad

[main bison]

Except Raidian

[halcyon flame]

Tough luck you actually had to play correctly

[main bison]

It doesn't help that I have to hoard recruits going into F5 so I can fail the candle map

That still sucks regardless

[stray dove]

So relying fully on Hoshi to block left Liangs and Haruka blocks right Liangs?

[nocturne cape]

Yes

[main bison]

Also phase 2 is the hardest part

[stray dove]

Noted

[nocturne cape]

If relics are good hoshi can tank explosion herself

But yeah

Normally you want healers to tank liang

[main bison]

Well Hoshi had no medic

[stray dove]

...

[main bison]

I only had 1 medic the entire run

[nocturne cape]

Your eyja’s right there man

[main bison]

Yeah, and not in range either

Also E1

[nocturne cape]

Wdym no in range tho

[main bison]

She's not in range of Hoshi

[nocturne cape]

Then put her in range of hoshi

[stray dove]

My dude. No guardians, no Shu, no Haruka, no Quercus?

[nocturne cape]

Theres shu

[main bison]

I only had Shu

[nocturne cape]

So shu should heal everyone else with S2

[main bison]

And she was E1 as well

[nocturne cape]

And eyja can heal hoshi

[main bison]

I used her for the left side, she died

[nocturne cape]

You’re only stalling til 21 kills

[main bison]

I had to use Raidian S1

[stray dove]

Who was laning for left side?

[main bison]

Yes, I'm aware of the fact I need to stall

[stray dove]

Shu cant solo mobs

[main bison]

Raidian and Shu

Eyja

[nocturne cape]

Now you know what needs to be done next time

[stray dove]

My dude!

[main bison]

I really don't

[stray dove]

Wheres your DPS

[main bison]

I have no DPS

[stray dove]

You lack heals, you lack DPS

[main bison]

I know

[stray dove]

What did you have

[main bison]

Look above

This was who I had

[stray dove]

Where did Geexu, Mly, Wis went?

[main bison]

They blew up

[round trellis]

ngl, how did you managed to fuck that up

[main bison]

Because I suck

[stray dove]

Cube

If you have time

[main bison]

I literally don't know what I'm doing

[stray dove]

Tutor him in a stream he does or you do

[round trellis]

drum, early stir fry, avenger, the geist rope

[main bison]

Yeah, it should have been a win

[round trellis]

raidian, exu, hoshi2

[nocturne cape]

Just follow that tbh

[round trellis]

i'm legit impressed

[main bison]

But once Hoshi died, Yi was all over the place

[nocturne cape]

Ig ill see if i have a squad that needs to do ed1 and show you

[round trellis]

...stall that fucker with infinite raidian s1 summons, and slap the sp battery on her

[nocturne cape]

Ill tag you when that happens

[stray dove]

WHY DID YOU TAKE COIN GEIST?

[main bison]

Again, I was going for ending 3

[nocturne cape]

And shu can heal everyone on the left

Not an issue

[round trellis]

coin geist is the randomize dp one

[main bison]

So the reduced SP and HP loss gets me every time

[main bison]

I had that

[round trellis]

he's saying don't take it

[stray dove]

WHY

[round trellis]

at all

I agree

[main bison]

20 DP Ines didn't help

[stray dove]

I know!

[round trellis]

man

[main bison]

Ok, I will not anymore

[round trellis]

this is legit impressive

it's like falling into the only pit in Iowa

[main bison]

That's my luck

And lack of skill

I'm that stupid

[stray dove]

I dont know if you only learn this in Roguelite Deckbuilders but

[sinful sparrow]

why is bro not shilling f4 clarity anymore

:realmad:

[stray dove]

You can choose to NOT TAKE

[nocturne cape]

Ender how raised is your raidian

[main bison]

Maxed

[nocturne cape]

Tourist dont take f4 clarity

Youre actively shooting yourself in the foot

[main bison]

Honestly the run started as an ingot deposit but the F1 shop was too good

[nocturne cape]

Defsupp can, gathering can (and should)

[stray dove]

Ender

[nocturne cape]

Cool

[stray dove]

Can you stop doing serious runs for now

[nocturne cape]

What squad were you on

[stray dove]

And go 500 ingot deposit first

[nocturne cape]

Or do you play on any squad

[main bison]

I wasn't even taking that run serious

[halcyon flame]

This guy had me believing F5 pf not spawning was a not rare chance

[main bison]

That one was Support I believe

[halcyon flame]

Mfers told me it’s as likely as no face off F5

In IS5

!!

Had me living me a lie

[main bison]

Again was trying to get to 500 ingots

[sinful sparrow]

i did that last run

and then die on ed2 anyways cuz i rolled the -20 ASPD coin

:ICANT:

[stray dove]

Why pick that coin? Ling loop?

[sinful sparrow]

Interdependent luck

[nocturne cape]

That is totally not what i said

Its rare

[sinful sparrow]

Couponmaxxing

[halcyon flame]

Lies

Heathen w

[nocturne cape]

Im just saying theoretically if you want to win every game you need to do pf on f4

[cold fjord]

cube is pregnantmaxxing instead

[sinful sparrow]

Wtf mpreg

[nocturne cape]

Which diff

We

Ill do d15

Do you have haruka and exu alter

[cold fjord]

d15 when d18 releases in 6 days

kinda slop

[halcyon flame]

Endfield or dlc2

Choices choices

[nocturne cape]

Technically ive done this before

[sinful sparrow]

dlc2

[nocturne cape]

But i dont wanna do it again

[sinful sparrow]

aint playing endfield

what is bro cooking

wtff

[nocturne cape]

It was august bro

Hoshi just got released

[atomic fjord]

me when i place down my units but the game said no and place talismans on it

you see it is fun because its insufferable

[sonic sable]

Wait why would u ever take f4 clarity

[carmine token]

hr bs

[halcyon flame]

F5 PF is not guaranteed

And being able to take F5 bosky is very strong

[sonic sable]

Really? I had it in every run

[nocturne cape]

Very rare but yeah

And f4 clarity also unlocks your f5 pathing

[sonic sable]

Doing f5 emergencies with ed3 collectibles

[nocturne cape]

So you can guarantee another bosky to shieldstack

[sonic sable]

[nocturne cape]

If you’re playing a strong squad you should take f4 clarity

Strong squad = defsupp or special

[halcyon flame]

Doing F5 emergencies at all is funny

[halcyon flame]

Fack you

[sonic sable]

I see

[halcyon flame]

My sniper med is strong!

[sonic sable]

What medics can be ur carry btw for bosky?

[nocturne cape]

Youre fucking me for what your pathetic snipermedic cant even guarantee f4 clarity pre expansion

Giga mpreg

Unless its raidian start

[halcyon flame]

Ur a fraud

[nocturne cape]

Bro

[halcyon flame]

RaidianOTP headass

Take those clue 7s bozo

[nocturne cape]

If you ban raidian and want to f4 clairty

F2 pathing must be pathfinder - combat - bosky

[sonic sable]

That also means u do the minibpss f3 with ed3 collectible

[nocturne cape]

Thats rare

[halcyon flame]

Yes

[sonic sable]

[halcyon flame]

Lol

[nocturne cape]

Yes

[halcyon flame]

Clearly I’m talking about DLC1

[nocturne cape]

On defsupp i usually use f3 bosky to take ed2 and ed3

[halcyon flame]

But yea pre expansion F4 clarity is lol coinflip

[nocturne cape]

So i fight the foot + ed3 debuff on f3 boss

Again, stronger squad only

If you’re playing tourist dont bother

[halcyon flame]

It’s trivial if you have raidian em

And hoshi now too even more so

[nocturne cape]

You prob have like 4 E1s on f3

[sonic sable]

Scary

[nocturne cape]

Yeah hoshi trivializes 3 masters

And thats the only one raidian struggles with

[sonic sable]

Hoshi red tile?

That chef is so hard to kill

[nocturne cape]

Yep

S2

[sonic sable]

S2??

With a healer?

[nocturne cape]

Sure

[toxic storm]

BRO WHAT IS THIS FUCKASS BUTTERFLY

[rotund copper]

I think this is my first time ever arknight randomly crashed

luckily it was on endscreen

man what the fuck

[main bison]

d12, yes and yes, trying to get Haruka to M6, S2 and mod already done

[native sky]

haruka s3 is for is？

[native sky]

Gives u a big paw, if u made it -50% hp then u get the 2nd ending relic

[toxic storm]

But it just doesn't spawn for me bro 😭

I've gotten it like, only once

[carmine token]

just unucky gng

unlucky

[native sky]

It’s normal bro

I have only two nodes left

And still didn’t get this shit

Just rng

Try in another run

And get as much candle as possible

[gaunt bay]

Cube :3

[rotund copper]

How hard is this

oh god

nvm I have gazillion aspd

[wet zealot]

Mfw I get to ed2 and I'm like "Ok I know what to do" and I realize I don't have an agent

[tepid hamlet]

Does Haruka S3 has any use for is6 bosses?

[rotund copper]

died as soon as he hits second phase

I love ingot squad

[cold fjord]

No

[wispy owl]

When will ingot box drop?

[orchid acorn]

Bruhhh why did she spawn so much bomb 😭

[brittle grove]

U want him to be her, makes sense tho

[orchid acorn]

Oh is him?

I’m stuck in diff 1

The game didn’t give me any def vouchers 😭

[brittle grove]

I think there's general guide pinned here, just try to check it

[jagged heath]

wis' rocks benefit from summon relics right

[brittle grove]

For all ed surely

Oh there is none, probably on IS central server. just check newb guide there for is6

[errant siren]

Yes, Revenants are summons.

[steel relic]

I got top op summon recruit tags and Magallan isn't tagged summon

😭

I hate y0 operator tags

[ionic cradle]

Try not to slow some of those things, or even kill some of those things

one missing opposite is enough to screw you over

[orchid acorn]

Not to?

[ionic cradle]

It works like those wisps from the dusk event

Except with Ling event hp

[orchid acorn]

Huh?

Sorry I’m only in a month ingame

[ionic cradle]

If white and black collides= bigger and badder explosion

[orchid acorn]

Oh

The cat ain’t stalling sui 😭

[ionic cradle]

You want them to explode on the middle, and have some defender (especially Hoshi alt since she has ALOT of res on less hp) tank some of them

[ionic cradle]

Try not to use the cat when he's like idle

[orchid acorn]

Which skill should I use for hoshi alt?

[ionic cradle]

Or when you seem him having that stick ready, usually also know it due to an audio cue like when that Chinese instrument goes "plok" or smth

[ionic cradle]

Either S1 or S3 on that stage ngl, S1 makes her tanky, S3 is an emergency button when a bomb is about to massively destroy your left side

S2 is not much in this stage as the left side only has some trash mobs

[orchid acorn]

Hm

[ionic cradle]

(even Fury)

[orchid acorn]

On diff 0 my hoshi killed him using s2

Diff 1 is weird

[sonic sable]

Poverty run

Could not e2 raidian till floor 4

[remote umbra]

If i give away a relic which gives + Max lifepoints do i still keep the lifepoints?
Like the coins which give hp/shield/ingots on toss

[slate hull]

yeah, the effect activates when you get it and then you are free to trade it away

the kettle you can start with is +1 max lp and +1 hope and I constantly trade that in the lost and found

[remote umbra]

It was worth giving away Vampire bed (+4 max hp) .
Even more power to lapper

[prime mountain]

Yep, same for squad size limit, NOT deploy limit.

[sonic sable]

I still dont know how to consistently beat fisherman alter

[prime mountain]

Huh try highrolling, if not then the exit run button is always there

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/wisadel-waltuh-w-walter-arknights-gif-3812010922944326354

[prime mountain]

No bro, wis gets tp'd and dies to the throwers

it dont work

[sonic sable]

Last run i survived with one hp

Hoshi has a target limit otherwisr she would be really good option

[sonic sable]

She helps ya

[arctic panther]

she hard counters the talismans with camo

[sonic sable]

Really?

[prime mountain]

Assuming max diff, yeah without relics she would prob just die

Might have enough damage to kill before anything bad happens idk dont use her

[arctic panther]

place her right next to him dummy

[prime mountain]

Yeah the throwers have range on full top

They will kill her summons

(unless relics)

mfw 1400 ranged damage phys

[arctic panther]

haruka it

[prime mountain]

Oh yeah the boss itself also deals 1400 dmg as arts so good luck surviving

While under talisman that gives -50% atk and burn

[arctic panther]

uhhh

highroll it?

[prime mountain]

Yep

🤝

[arctic panther]

me smort

[prime mountain]

There's prob a raidian strat somewhere

[slate hull]

fisherman alter is mostly bad because he is faster at targeting tiles + he targets more of them at the same time

[halcyon flame]

Hello furillo

[slate hull]

wiki says the regular fisherman waits 10s then hooks a single tile every 15s, fisherman alter starts instantly and hooks 3 tiles every 5s, that is 3x the speed and 3x the tiles with no warmup period

so, either you instantly explode him or put somebody on a melee tile, it is very likely not a stage Raidian can solo

[remote umbra]

Go for a Nian trial where everything turns op.
Forget to use Nian after floor 1

[prime mountain]

Hi Aly!!!!

[prime mountain]

Bro really just rolled all the defenders lmao

[slate hull]

could have probably stalled Yi long enough to deploy Nian 7 times with a comp like that

[proven dagger]

@cold fjord @halcyon flame highroll squad 🫃

[cold fjord]

[proven dagger]

look at my e1 lemu bro

🚬

[prime mountain]

Why did bro draft lappland 🥀

[proven dagger]

i got caster relics

and I didn't know who else to draft

I mean Lapp isn't exactly bad for IS6 I find

she deals damage and does away with hitcount

I found her particularly useful on F4

(EM Shadows)

she's my comfort unit though

also I like lesbians

[prime mountain]

Oh right you play spec/cast and already had logos prob, definitely not as bad

[proven dagger]

yeah

[prime mountain]

Proceeds to draft phantom instead of tex

smh

[proven dagger]

i do phantom start too

gotta get the gay men too

if I draft 3m1w I usually win easy

🫃

3 men 1 woman
(Phantom, Logos, Mizuki, Ente)

Occasionally Stainless if I'm able to

more often than not I draft Cliff for this stage

she has her used in F4 too surprisingly

she's nice in Shadows and the one IW spam stage

i should try going for ED3

Crownslayer draft may work there 🫃

[slate hull]

I have heard that her invis means she doesn't spawn balls, but I haven't seen how good that is in practice

[remote umbra]

For real. There would had also been a free horn but i left it for later and got myrn

[prime mountain]

no.

[remote umbra]

I could have but exu s2 and -60% enemy hp from relics on diff0 made the boss look like chapter 0 enemy

[orchid acorn]

man is 6 sucks 😭

either didn't give me any good vouchers or give bad collective

[native sky]

wait dlc

[faint rampart]

[orchid acorn]

dlc?

[native sky]

Expansion

[orchid acorn]

😔

I'm stuck on diff 1

[native sky]

Hmm

Try to get raisins raise up

[orchid acorn]

I hate those minions who keep popping off after killing 1

[native sky]

Use the squad that gives u free temp raisins

Fucking keyboard

Why always Raidian become raisins

[orchid acorn]

free operator?

[native sky]

So fucking stupid

[orchid acorn]

my raidian is e1 tho

[native sky]

It gives u a temp raidian

So u can e2 her with no problem

[orchid acorn]

oh

[native sky]

Also low diff

Tragodia is kinda good

👍

Gambate

[orchid acorn]

how good is raidian in is 6?

[nocturne cape]

if you raise her all the way, best operator

[main roost]

She’s tailored to the game mode and gets a morbillion buffs

[orchid acorn]

what's her best skill?

[main roost]

Depends on the stage

[nocturne cape]

all 3 are good, you use S2 the most

[orchid acorn]

alr

[native sky]

S2 for ground S3 for aerial

But usually S2

Since u may use the Geexu raidian combo

[orchid acorn]

hm

[keen briar]

how much lmd/xp items does each complete is give u? has anyone made the math?

[manic wagon]

I finally beat IS6 (ending 1) with Tragodia, Hoshi2, Haruka, a borrowed Exu2, Gravel, and a few random vanguards (stalling that bomb guy) 😭

[rich thorn]

PRTS wiki have info

IS5

[arctic panther]

select the buy levels then scroll to the end and it will tell you what you get from the is

[orchid acorn]

How can I deal this stage?

[manic wagon]

What Chinese in LMD say? 135k?

[orchid acorn]

Okay, cool. You know what, I like IS mode for free rewards and sanity-free

[orchid acorn]

I'm in it now

[arctic panther]

pray

[rich thorn]

[orchid acorn]

Yeah for a 2 shift, cause ho'ol is only -1

And she works

[tacit oyster]

anyway, what should I prioritize then in this safehouse first? It's safehouse, enemy node then izumik

but in terms of relics, it should be enough?

[nocturne cape]

i..

forgot im supposed to play ed1

💀

ok quitting

[mint gull]

Love me some free stages

[orchid acorn]

😔

I guess diff 1 is my limit

[faint rampart]

you can do better

[orchid acorn]

I spent like 3 hrs failing

I'll come back after getting ave mujica units

looks like they will destroy sui

[faint rampart]

what stages/floor/boss you failing at

[orchid acorn]

around 4~5

the problem is

I don't have good operators

[faint rampart]

d1 so no raidian e2 unless borrow

[orchid acorn]

either the game doesn't give me defend ticket or give me some unnecessary stuff

[faint rampart]

if you're new then i guess it's understandable

[orchid acorn]

I'm only 1.5 months ingame

hoshi alter and surtx are the only good operators I have

💔

[faint rampart]

oh yeah so you missed trag/exu (i think)

rip

[manic wagon]

Is it fine to do only ending 1 in IS6. (on guide tour 1-2)? I think I'm not ready for that Shui

[prime mountain]

Why wouldnt it be?

Play what you want

[orchid acorn]

will they ever comeback lol

[manic wagon]

I was wondering whether ending 2 unlock guide 2 or not. Thanks

[faint rampart]

hoshi+ raidian should be able to carry you in most fights, considering you have hoshi2 you can just borrow a raidian or something

[orchid acorn]

is borrowing raidian help me more than trag?

[faint rampart]

trag prolly
for exu nuh uh no rerun

[orchid acorn]

😔

I want w

will she comeback?

[faint rampart]

dont think so, not when proficiencies arent unlocked

[orchid acorn]

zamn

[faint rampart]

but she can carry+alot of raidian guides available to copy

[paper kayak]

personally I like borrowing exu over trag, especially if you already have hoshi

[faint rampart]

limited ops, either spark with 300 pulls or offrate

[paper kayak]

since you can set up a yi clear on most runs with just exu hoshi, espec at low diff

[orchid acorn]

which pack should I pick ?

[paper kayak]

exu myrtle roberta is a nice one

roberta acting as a pseudo-defender

[orchid acorn]

she's a defender?

[faint rampart]

supporter

[paper kayak]

she's an artificer supporter

[faint rampart]

but works for block

[orchid acorn]

I don't have her

[paper kayak]

can also borrow her

you can borrow multiple units at the start

[orchid acorn]

but hope....

[paper kayak]

she's a 4-star

[orchid acorn]

wait

you can borrow multiple units?

zamn

[paper kayak]

Yup. You can borrow your entire starting squad if you wanted to lol

[orchid acorn]

I'm planning to e2 surtr

should I

her e1 is kinda meh

[paper kayak]

ehhhhhhhhh
she's kinda powercrept by hoshi s3 but hey, if you want 2 hoshi s3s....

not a huge IS pick either

[orchid acorn]

Any operators worth leveling ?

dunno why it excludes regular exu and hoshi alt

[nocturne cape]

context matters

what are you tryign to do

[orchid acorn]

is 6

[nocturne cape]

do you have haruka

[orchid acorn]

nope

maybe I'll get her with the remaining free pulls

[nocturne cape]

purestream, ethan, windscoot, quercus, beanstalk, podenco

[orchid acorn]

that's it?

[faint rampart]

you want more?
||you wont rely on them after early floors most of the time , unless 4* only niche or something||

[orchid acorn]

hm

dunno if I should e 2 purestream

[faint rampart]

should

[orchid acorn]

is she worth e2ing?

for is 6

[faint rampart]

yes

+shes yan

investing in lumen e2 and beyond wouldn't be a good idea, hopefully help already told you that

[orchid acorn]

e2ing lumen is too expensive for me

[paper kayak]

idk about lumen

[faint rampart]

yea, just mentioned cuz i saw him leveled up

[orchid acorn]

just levelled up ethan and pure

ethan is pretty good in ccing

[faint rampart]

ethan should be fine at e1(if you're low on resources), could go more hes good anyways

[orchid acorn]

hm

[mint gull]

Yes, but not as a rate up. You'll bd able to spark her/get her as an off rate.

[orchid acorn]

ugh

[mint gull]

@orchid acorn are you borrowing Raidian when doing d1? Or at least exu2?

[orchid acorn]

I'm planning to

I wonder what the best combo with hoshi alt

[mint gull]

This IS is really easy once you know whats up

[orchid acorn]

how do you use exu 2?

I borrowed her and I had no idea how she worked

and what squad should I picK?

flexible?

[ancient jacinth]

god cangtang is shit

ruined the bubbles run

[mint gull]

S2 all the way for me. And she does 2 things: 1, she's a dps. 2, a trickier use, she applies shield. That shield goes a long way. If you can get any sp up, you csn insta trigger s2, meaning you can drop a unit, drop exu in front of the unit, trigger s2, and go to town while the unit charges their skill

[ancient jacinth]

still could get higher though

[paper notch]

huh

[orchid acorn]

damn

[paper notch]

interesting

[mint gull]

But honestly I was challenging myself a lil because with raidian it'd be too easy. There's a video of a guy solo-ing d15 with raidian solo lol

[mint gull]

Are there any specific stages you're struggling with? Is it the yi fight? I can give tips how to clear specific stages.

[orchid acorn]

sui

uhhh

honestly there're some stages I dunno what to call

oh yeah

the one that have hat guy and flower eater thing

I don't like that

any good vanguard or just mytle ?

[mint gull]

The sui foot? Thr easiest way is:

1. Get raidian.
2. Get 18 hp.
3. Ignore left side

You then place 2 fish somewhere in the center away from your units (the foot takes like 3x3 boxes, and dont put more than 2 units next to each other. Sui foot target: most units > closest to the the bottom > closest to the left side).

[mint gull]

Agents are also pretty good, like cantabile.

[orchid acorn]

no it's the whole sui

[ancient jacinth]

augh

[mint gull]

Trying to figure out which stage that could be 🤔 i can only recall two stages thst had carnivorous plants

[faint rampart]

F4

[orchid acorn]

the one that spawn 2 of them at the same

[nocturne cape]

@main bison https://youtu.be/bW_IPtCNhzs

here you go

[orchid acorn]

oh ?

[nocturne cape]

skipped as much combat as possible, skipped 1 bosky, didnt take any major relic (I need a little bit of stats to win clarity)

if you have exu E2 you dont even need to leak

but there

[faint rampart]

a humble gift?

[orchid acorn]

I got exu 2

[orchid acorn]

yea

borrowed* ofc

[orchid acorn]

bosky?

[nocturne cape]

wonderland

[orchid acorn]

skip it on the first floor?

[nocturne cape]

no

what i was trying to say is

i skipped one bosky (not saving it too) to simulate lower power runs

[orchid acorn]

oh ok

[nocturne cape]

ender apparently had problem winning ed1 with hoshiguma

so thats for them

[orchid acorn]

so uh

what relic should I care to take or just take whatever?

[mint gull]

Is it that one or the avarice? @orchid acorn

[unkempt flower]

Again?! Firstly in IS-4, now here.

[orchid acorn]

the humble gift one

[unkempt flower]

Previously in IS-4 game multiple times was sending one specific miniboss against me. Now here happens again

[nocturne cape]

not sure what you're trying to say, ofc you take relics where possible

[orchid acorn]

I mean do I need to grind for a specific relic ? or just play normally

xd

[nocturne cape]

just play normally

your average run is better than that

[orchid acorn]

ok

[unkempt flower]

That ain't funny. Back there i was struggling with that IS-4 Miniboss. Now here happens again cause it low hover and fishes had trouble with low hover/flying enemies.

[nocturne cape]

Swap to raidian s3 for that stage

[unkempt flower]

Not Ægirs not allowed

[mint gull]

You can ground him. Kroos2 is good against that boss

[unkempt flower]

...

[mint gull]

Oh she's a lot easier than I thought lol even e1 iris makes her s non- factor

[unkempt flower]

Then i better get lucky with shop, cause it sells mine that stuns

[mint gull]

Does it work against hovering enemies?

[faint rampart]

is that the pain of playing a niche

[unkempt flower]

Idk, I'll test it. At least i know that the one that need time to prepare doesn't target hovering ones

[mint gull]

Oh yeah, thr landmine

[sweet moth]

any new complilations of f1 shop robs?

[raw hemlock]

...I think... me attempting to do Sword, Glaive, Spear on d5 without an e2 Raidian is just a bad idea

it's ended my run at least 3 times now

[orchid acorn]

I hate this map

[raw hemlock]

agreed

[bright otter]

pramanix what is this?

also pith is a scam

[orchid acorn]

free op

[raw hemlock]

tbh if I don't get the right squad by the time I reach that map I'm just gonna abandon the run, it's faster than just watching the enemies walk into base

[rich thorn]

+1, this and that fishing boss

when you have only ranged units

[orchid acorn]

🙂

[bright otter]

yeah rather take a 4star, pith is bad

[orchid acorn]

whom should I borrow for support

[rapid pulsar]

Wouldn’t e2 hoshi and exu absolutely nuke everything for the most part

[orchid acorn]

the goddamn floating thing that seal the skill 🥀

[rapid pulsar]

Explain the prama

💔

[orchid acorn]

uhhh

well

idk what to pick so

I picked her

maybe I'll pick mayer

[bright otter]

pick a 4star don’t waste hope

[orchid acorn]

finding one will take me a while

[rapid pulsar]

You don’t got roberta or deepcolour?

[orchid acorn]

my deepcolor is lv 1

:3

is podenco good

[bright otter]

she could be maxed if you didn’t waste mats on prama or mayer

[cunning abyss]

sorry if dumb quesiton, but does tragodia's cat count as a "summon"?

[orchid acorn]

I think so

[bright otter]

it does, basically every item deployable by them is a summon, like trapmaster mines count too

[cunning abyss]

I didn't know that

so collectible's like this work with tragodia cat, and even dorothy?

[bright otter]

yeah wisadel too

[cunning abyss]

ohhh thank youuu

[nocturne cape]

Cat doesnt have HP and uses Tragodia’s atk

So that relic is useless

For tragodia

[cunning abyss]

i thought so
i have other summon operators, but also him so i was just curious

[orchid acorn]

should I use exu s3 in is 6 ?

[paper kayak]

the other day someone was wondering if hoshi2 could solo right side of ici

and uh, yep!

at least on d14, though it wasnt super close so it probably still works on d15

[slate gorge]

What's ici

[paper kayak]

ice cold image, is4 ed1 alter

[slate gorge]

Ohhh

Also can I ask what's the easiest is

Is it still is5

Or is is6 easier?

[paper kayak]

realistically it depends on your roster but 6 is generally considered easier

[slate gorge]

I pretty much have most previous banner

Except leizi

Since i got mylnar

Time to farm is6 then

[jade veldt]

I didn't know you could bring support units to this until now, this tragodia guy is bonkers

now to do it a million more times for raidian's sake

[orchid acorn]

bro

I'm fricking distorting rn

😭

[bright otter]

is5 should still be the easiest, you have a lot of control over the run and i think that fremont is easier than yi for farming

[orchid acorn]

that stupid mob who spawn a bunch of unkillable thing unpon death

[bright otter]

you haven’t played ling event?

[orchid acorn]

ling?

I'm refering to is 6

so annoying

:()

[bright otter]

yeah those enemies are from her event

[orchid acorn]

oh yeah I'm new here so

I hate them

why would they add it

literally cancer

[bright otter]

use ethan ascalon or flingers against them

they’re very easy actually

[orchid acorn]

I used hoshi alt and exu 2

maybe I shouldn't focus too much on 1 spot

[jade veldt]

not running ethan on that stage feels like instant lose with the units I got available

[orchid acorn]

wait is ethan support

I forgor

[jade veldt]

ethan hits em once and they all die before reaching the end

ethan's the chameleaon lad, he's a specialist

[orchid acorn]

alr

[jade veldt]

you have to play pretty forward tho

[flint token]

if you want high budget option that can also do other stuffs grab wis

[jade veldt]

I put a lane holder near the highground on the middle and ethan right in front of them, usually does the job

[flint token]

Tragodia is also decent

[jade veldt]

tragodia feels like easy mode if you have that guy just run him

[flint token]

raidian s2 also works well against them

[jade veldt]

or just recruit him at the start as a support unit, that's what I did

[orchid acorn]

Holy juicy wonderland

[final gale]

uhhh

[bright otter]

yeah she only struggles with the arts hit cup

[final gale]

is that because of that multiple retrieve nodes?

i hate that node coz that thing offer me lp when i have full lp

[remote badger]

-4 is pretty fine

for feng shui

[flint token]

imagine having full lp in hallucinogen dimension

[final gale]

im aware im still barely scratching is6... ril life sucks dont have time

[restive shale]

I did it again

[wicked sandal]

[dusk compass]

Does it count the clears for the skill mastery if you clear at a higher difficulty?

[restive shale]

Yeh

For raidians skill missions im assuming

[slate hull]

yeah, I skipped ed3 on d9 and went straight to 10

[dusk compass]

Ye

Now how do I clear it easily?

[flint token]

by borrowing someone else’s raidian if you can

otherwise geekxu wis trag galore

[restive shale]

You need to clear ending 2 right?

[orchid acorn]

Ayyy I did it

after like

5 hrs

:3

[restive shale]

Congrats on besting ending 1 on difficulty 1

[orchid acorn]

newbie struggle to beat diff 1 is real

[restive shale]

Now to do it several more times

[orchid acorn]

💔

erm

is d2 harder

[restive shale]

Eh, not that harder

If you know the strat it's a cake walk

[orchid acorn]

what's the strat

:3

plz

[restive shale]

For all difficulties

[orchid acorn]

I want raidian e 2

[restive shale]

Keep yi at the top of the map

[raw hemlock]

Which collectible should I grab?

[restive shale]

Which ending you doing?

[orchid acorn]

me?

uh

[restive shale]

No

[orchid acorn]

I don't care

nvm

[restive shale]

Kadie

[orchid acorn]

ah

[raw hemlock]

I'm just doing ed1 for now, I can do ed2 and ed3 on my days off work

[restive shale]

Arts killer since the boss does arts damage

Dodge is nice

[raw hemlock]

[restive shale]

With hoshi alt s2 + archetto she can basically keep the boss inside the red box

A healer will make it a lot more easier

[orchid acorn]

uh

which healer is the best

my hoshi alter is lv 30 e 2

can she tank with it?

[restive shale]

Smth like honeyberry or lumen

[orchid acorn]

is lumen e1 fine?

[restive shale]

Just one with a big range

[restive shale]

For lower difficulties ig

[raw hemlock]

....oh god, floor 3's midboss is Sword, Glaive, Spear again
Out of my current roster on krooster, who should I try to add to the squad before then? (Hoshialt's info is a lie, she's e2 and skills are all at level 6 thanks to a lack of books)

[restive shale]

Honeyberry is prolly better cause range

[orchid acorn]

then I guess I'll pick def sniper pack?

[restive shale]

Archetto + hoshi alt should be enough to stall yi in earlier difficulties though

[restive shale]

Leizi s2 on the originium tile could be good

If you get vanguard grab myrtle or cantibile depending on the situation

[raw hemlock]

what situations call for one or the other?

[orchid acorn]

wait

what

you can robb cannot?

[raw hemlock]

and what about all the normal enemies, those swarm me before the bosses get close half the time

[orchid acorn]

that's crazy

[paper notch]

in most IS you can rob cannot ye

[dusk compass]

All endings plz. I already beat ending 1 like 3 times....now I need a comfortable way to beat it to get Raidian maxed out

[final gale]

yeh now bring out ur inner darkness and rob the shop

[final gale]

only on is4 above btw

[restive shale]

If your going down a path with a pathfinder, save the voucher to grab cantibile

If not, just grab myrtle

[orchid acorn]

does it apply to every floors?

[final gale]

as long as u in shop node u can rob him yeh

[orchid acorn]

lmao

that's funny

[paper notch]

cant you rob is3 as well?

[raw hemlock]

rn I don't have vg vouchers, just caster, medic, and spec vouchers

[faint rampart]

uhhh losing ingots during a run, seems useless once youve unlocked max invest rewards i guess

[final gale]

although ofc, once u robbed him... he wont show up anymore in future shop nodes

[restive shale]

Ending 2 start with leader squad if it gives you raidian for free and start with exu alter as your 6 star

[orchid acorn]

robbery in my tower defence game

[final gale]

ahhh yeh i have this wierd feeling that ive forgotten something

is3 is the one with boxers in early rob

[dim oar]

That the way to survive

[restive shale]

I do not want to touch is3 at all

I'm stuck on diff 16

[final gale]

i only remember i am annoyed robbing cannot in is3

is4 rob is fun...

as long as those faking champions dont have that faking immortal buff

[orchid acorn]

which skill should I use ?

for archetto

[restive shale]

I remember seeing someone use s2 with the strat but idt the skill rlly matters

Lemme find the vid rq

[orchid acorn]

ughhh finding archetto in support list is bothersome

[restive shale]

https://youtu.be/J__CGsYxDqA?si=C9Ty95zrm1SZk-6E

[faint rampart]

two of them in the same run

[restive shale]

Needs to be is mod archetto as well XD

[orchid acorn]

does anyone has archtto :3

[raw hemlock]

add a sniper voucher to that... I'll be back though, gotta go back to work

[remote badger]

go find it

[severe oasis]

speaking of archetto i should really give my archetto masteries

[proven dagger]

this Miz tile is nice, gets left and center

[nocturne cape]

who needs a healer if you can just dodge

good job luo

[main bison]

Thanks, I also found one that's similar https://youtu.be/wm69OCqSqY4?si=IG5i5q45hf_OiscM

[timber heart]

IS6 Yi boss fight. D2.

The little summon things in the middle when you start had a yellow ring around them. I’ve never seen that before? They did a ton of damage when they usually don’t touch my ranger units on the side. What is this mechanic?

[slate hull]

the enemies you get are random each time, seems like you got the enemies from the Yu event that inflict burn damage

it works the same as all other elemental damage mechanics, the circle under the operator has a line that goes down and when it becomes empty it deals big damage (and applies other effects depending on the element)

[mint gull]

I have come to the conclusion that borrowing maxxed out Raidian isn't the optimal choice early on, before you unlock all the proficiencies

[timber heart]

Got it. Is there a way to tell what enemies I get and what their effects are before I start? Maybe some master list I can read or something

Idk D1 and D0 went okay but I’ve but hardstuck on D2 for IS6 which stinks, I only wanna do it one more time anyway for Raidian E2. But I feel like I has some good teams and haven’t gotten close

[mint gull]

Whats your starter usually look like?

[timber heart]

I’m newer but I go Wis’adel, Geavel, and Myrtle. Usually can get to end okay but my god Yi is very stressful and hard.

I try grabbing Tragodia and Exusai alter. Hopefully a hoshi alter or Ulpianus too to help lane hold stuff

[mint gull]

It's not a bad start tbf.

[mint gull]

Oh you have acrual tank unit lol fair. Is wisadel yours or you borrow? Cuz if yours, id recommend exu2 starter instead.

[sick mason]

The most nonexistent hour if doing ed3

[mint gull]

Basically a free win lol

[sick mason]

I dunno if ed4 also required candleguests or not

[slate hull]

not sure about the boss stage, I usually don't check it, but the enemy list would probably just show you every enemy that could appear in every variation

I just looked at the wiki and apparently the rarest spawn is a 6.25% chance to get 6 upgraded coin frogs in the middle

glad I never had that happen

[timber heart]

Wis is lent but after several runs. Wis just runs better. I’ve tried Yi guides and the fight just gets so crazy so fast they are kinda useless.

What’s the difference between D1 and D2? Or guided tour as they call it

[sinful sparrow]

ending 4 requires operators to be “in the scroll”

which is a different thing

candleguest or not
dont give a shit

[sick mason]

How many to be "in the scroll"?

[main bison]

this guy is super annoying

[manic wagon]

I just beat the boss stage on guide tour 1 in IS6. Is guide tour 2 harder than guide tour 1?

[main bison]

these are my only two Candle ops, like how?

[sick mason]

How the f do you only have 2 candleguests in wonderland

[round trellis]

that and the shop one if you robbed cannot floor 1

then you get the +4 dp cost and -30% sp on deploy debuffs

[manic wagon]

You will not lose progress in sui consciousness even if you lost, I think

[round trellis]

[main bison]

I know this

[main bison]

F2

this is all I've got

[round trellis]

bro

why are you doing this

[sick mason]

Did you only get like 2 defenders and 1 supporter voucher in floor 1?!

And also 1 medic but somehow you're not patient enough to conserve it

[nocturne cape]

goated skin

[main bison]

doing what?

[main bison]

no space to

[round trellis]

floor 2 bosky

[gaunt bay]

what the slop

[round trellis]

no raidin available

[gaunt bay]

do i need to do asca s3m3 now

🥀

[nocturne cape]

no

sl7 is fine

[round trellis]

do it

[nocturne cape]

my run is uhh

down to a 5050 on F6

i have 0 healer

[gaunt bay]

[nocturne cape]

thats a candleguest

[manic wagon]

How are u still alive?

[gaunt bay]

just get™ bro

[nocturne cape]

uhh

i started sussuro

but shes not a candleguest

[slate hull]

hold on, hoshi 2 range probably goes wild on this stage, I need to stop being lazy and build her

[nocturne cape]

0 medic voucher

[sick mason]

GGWP

[round trellis]

her range is good but only 3 targets on s3 really hurts

she's better as a lane holder than a initial spawn clearer tbh

[manic wagon]

Hoshi1 is a MVP for me in IS

I mean, Hoshi2

[nocturne cape]

this run is so goofy

saw CE on F1 shop

wanna play mon3tr core

drafted cheeto

0 medic voucher

[faint rampart]

[prime mountain]

Med/sniper cheeto mon3tr core is a thing surely
