is-station

[native sky]

yeah

[native sky]

so it should be 3x3

[rotund copper]

yes

[slate hull]

I have absolutely had the butterfly in the 3x3, I don't know if it can generate in a way where it is connected to the starting point, but I have had it on some 3x3 squares

[native sky]

New knowledge learned

[rotund copper]

fuh naw

[native sky]

This is the last 2nd I need

[split void]

Well I heard it from someone else. Maybe you can try that again

[native sky]

Then I’m just missing 9 end1 for full medals

[rotund copper]

The connected to starting point is 3×3 that what it is the eight node surrounding the spawn

[split void]

You don't have to do monthly squad next month ?

[slate hull]

I mean you can have parts of the 3x3 square that are not accessible at the very start

[rotund copper]

Only ending 3 legend node can appear on 3×3

[native sky]

aha so if it’s not connected then it still have chance to be end2

[native sky]

I mean the ones in every squad d12+ for every ending

[slate hull]

I think those can generate butterfly legend nodes, but ones that are already discovered when you first enter cannot

[rotund copper]

Probably no

I'm pretty sure it meant to only be in 5×5 area

[slate hull]

because I even took a screenshot last time it happened

you can see the item in the bottom left

[native sky]

Thats

End3

?

[rotund copper]

you have multiple legend node on 5×5 this screenshot isn't proving anything

[slate hull]

okay then

[split void]

But I have to wait till next month for full medal

[native sky]

Sad for ya

I have one one month squad bc I forgot the first one lmao

[slate hull]

the first ed2 video that comes up on youtube has the node on the 3x3
https://youtu.be/ILkOiX0Nf0c

[rotund copper]

was it connected

[slate hull]

no, that is what I am talking about, it cannot be the butterfly if it is connected to the start

but it can spawn in the 3x3

[rotund copper]

aight

[split void]

So maybe the correct should be it is not possible for node that is 2 nodes or 1 node away from the center ?

[native sky]

Bruhhhhh

[remote badger]

5x5

[native sky]

These are most useless

[rotund copper]

people like to collect stuff yknow

[native sky]

Me too

Si I’ll have to take every option

[rotund copper]

these barely come by anyway I don't think it's much of a problem

not overly abundant garbage of dodge relic

[native sky]

Idk if there’s another rare hour

My Sami paradigms is still missing one….

[split void]

I think the distance from that Butterfly node to the center has to be higher than certain number is what actually right

[slate hull]

I have been doing ed2 runs and keeping track of legend nodes, so far I have not seen it in a node connected to the starting point and I have not seen it outside of the 5x5. There might be a minimum distance like 4 lines

[rotund copper]

[remote badger]

there is

[native sky]

💀

noo

now I want to collect them

[remote badger]

sleeping one ig

jusan also been hunting for it

[native sky]

higher chance than paradigm？

or same chance

[rotund copper]

sui feet

[remote badger]

idk

[native sky]

💀 💀

The most efficient way is go f2 and restart I guess

[remote badger]

yep

[lucid radish]

Wait.... Thats the hardest one?

[pastel saffron]

pretty sure for new player IS4 is the hardest, try IS5 instead

play for a bit and u can unlock bp squad with which u can powerfarm and get rich in hours

then u can build ur units and try IS6 and do monthly missions

then come back to IS5 to complete it

[stray dove]

Tenth Hour

Every Hour of Sui there has a description that has it numbered to a specific Hour/Suibling

[solid lodge]

for is6 ed2 on the left side, does ethan need s2 or s1?

[native sky]

How is possible….

I got -6hp in the ingot exchange

💀 💀 💀

[pastel saffron]

s1 if ur using him for hitcount

[slate hull]

I might be dumb, I forgot about the maintenance

[slate hull]

rip, that was a pretty decent start as well

[sinful sparrow]

how did you die on F2 with this

??

[slate hull]

maintenance in the middle of combat

I don't know how it works, I passed the stage, then I got an error then I got this when I came back after the maintenance

[severe oasis]

genuinely dont know why people play IS during scheduled maintenance times

[carmine token]

[lost anchor]

which is scroll of stars

[remote badger]

ed2

[native sky]

idk what time we have maintenance since I never look announcements

[native sky]

wut

This stats

4.66million hp 5.5K atk and 1.4K def

[sinful sparrow]

avg

[sly harness]

Shen-Chu + ATK Risc coin + 25% damage taken by no Candleguest is 5883,75 damage

I experienced it once...

[cold fjord]

Isnt 15k dmg enough to kill through exu barrier

[sly harness]

(I timed out)

Rose Salt with CotW amd Faai Fu debuff was just dieing

[slate hull]

I had the 20% to lose 1 hope and life point on non-combat nodes hour a few times and each time it feels like the chance is way higher than 20%

[spare ermine]

Well if the chance is for a bad thing, you have to multiply it by 10

If it's for a good thing you divide it by 10

That simple

[slate hull]

it is especially bad because it counts bosky, I was making plans for my 8 hope and then I left with 4

it also goes for shield first, so you bleed those throughout the entire run and it is so annoying because you can't restore them unlike life points

[faint rampart]

[carmine token]

[ionic cradle]

Offensive recovery and Res potential relics btw (goes up to 90) which lets her only get tickled by Yi's bombs

[unkempt lion]

Which one would y'all recommend taking if Wisadel is my carry? It doesn't specify how much damage per tile it gives

[winter belfry]

right

[unkempt lion]

Thanks

[spare ermine]

@woeful anchor Are you still looking for Xiaohei support

I can put mine up

Unless you want S1 in which case no.

[inland elbow]

(N-1)X20% where N is the number of tiles away the enemy is

Cannot be negative

As for which is better, depends on your other relics

Scope is more damage on average but cylinder lets you gets past defence and improves other stuff like healing from medics

[slate hull]

it is 6 tiles for max effect? not saying the relic is bad, just wondering who has the range for that aside from drone casters

[inland elbow]

Most operators won't hit max effect but that doesn't matter

Flingers for example hit 60% which is already a lot

Consider that one of the best damage relics is avenger which is 35%

[slate hull]

I get that, it is a lot of damage, just an interesting number to pick, I think Ray with sandbeast has 2 tiles that are 6 away and Lemuen could probably pop off if you have somebody to mark targets

[inland elbow]

Yeah ray and lemuen can probably do it

Usually drafting operators to benefit from your relics is putting the cart before the horse though

Especially in is5

[grizzled nexus]

Huh, IS6 UI theme had appeared in UI Preview.

Still need next month though to get it

[quasi verge]

Hope they continue allowing this type of shenanigans in future IS

[remote badger]

on cn i think they still

but makes ling billions times rarer

[quasi verge]

They nerfed the chance for Ling to appear? That sucks. It already took me a while before I got this run.

[sly harness]

Irrc we got a nerfed version on release

Like on cn it was quite common originally and then it was nerfed to ~1 in 15 runs

And we got the 1 in 15 rate on release

[quasi verge]

That tracks.

[woeful anchor]

yes

[spare ermine]

Idk if you already have me added but he's up

I'll check in a sec

I don't think I have you what's your thing

[lunar knoll]

are the rates for dusk the same? I get ling far more than I've gotten her

[nocturne cape]

Dusk is an encounter

So shes in legends

[lunar knoll]

ahh, right

[nocturne cape]

Only Ling, Nian and Shu for leisures

[lunar knoll]

I think I've only gotten dusk once or twice ever

similar with yi actually, haven't seen either of them in the past 30+ runs

[slate hull]

I get Shu and Nian about equally often

anyway, the real Dusk encounter you want is Dusk in tavern, that is an absolute shield farm

[sinful sparrow]

It’s boring as shit

The moment you can pull the exploit off

You know you already won the run

Why even play anymore

??

[spare ermine]

Anything to get IS6 over with since it's CLEARLY the worst IS /s

[foggy heath]

Which diff is ideal to spam for IS6?

[faint rampart]

10

[foggy heath]

I'm still diff 3 KEK

I guess I'll just clear the perma reward to lvl65 and that's it

[gaunt bay]

Cube i got surtr

In ef

[nocturne cape]

Cool

[gaunt bay]

How are you cube

[remote badger]

hi

[gaunt bay]

Hi mini yomi

[remote badger]

mmm

[nocturne cape]

mmm

[remote badger]

625 is so piss bruh

especially around 20+/41

(?)

[nocturne cape]

Well raidian 625 is piss

A lot of timing can go wrong

[remote badger]

i spent like 2+ hrs for this

[sinful sparrow]

why would bro play ts

[nocturne cape]

I did raidian trag for CN

It was pretty bad

[remote badger]

things

[faint rampart]

i only have that as option

[woeful anchor]

any gamers wanna help me with cc

[gaunt bay]

fib do my cc for me

[remote badger]

no

[gaunt bay]

😁

[remote badger]

do 625 for me pls

[nocturne cape]

i dont mind

🫡

[woeful anchor]

cube dalao omg

ill try working on a 'base' clear first ig then find optimizations

:ya:

phys seems really bad here

(once again)

😭

[nocturne cape]

yeah

[woeful anchor]

this shit is so ass

[nocturne cape]

i hope next cc is gonna be phys heavy

[woeful anchor]

CC meta is arts then IS meta is phys

krazy how this works

[nocturne cape]

makes sense tbh

[raw hemlock]

I'm doing a bit of d6 reruns (for ed2 practice) and I went into a battle node.... and forgot I did that until 5 enemies got into base (its ok for now tho, they only eated the shields)

but the setup's going alright so far, got defender and supporter vouchers f1 so I've got e2 raidian, hoshialt, and a borrowed exu2

[sinful sparrow]

staying up?

[nocturne cape]

no

[sinful sparrow]

🥀

[nocturne cape]

friend enslaved me to prep a run for him

so im finishing this sloppy d5 run and sleep

[sinful sparrow]

alr gn

i'll grind and lyk

@cold fjord imma be at a relative from 5pm (utc+7) to like 7pm or so

if u wanna play during that time it's fine

[raw hemlock]

if y'all dont mind, you guys got any suggestions for anyone else I should add to my roster before I get to f5? other than exu2 (borrow), hoshialt, raidian, and the reserve ops I've got Podenco (built more than Roberta) and Myrtle recruited

[nocturne cape]

would try to draft a hitcount solution

[raw hemlock]

A what

[sinful sparrow]

I can see that your intended drafts, while great against the boss, struggle against the horde of hitcount-based enemies on the left side of the stage. Looking at your roster, I can see that you currently have Leizi the Thunderbringer raised to Elite 2 promotion, as well as Mizuki. I recommend drafting them, as well as raising Mizuki's skill 2 to M3. Here's why it works for Ending 2: Scrolls of Scars of Arknights IS#6 - Sui's Garden of Grotesqueries:

1. Leizi's Skill 3: All the Thunderlight has electric orbs bouncing back and forth, which can make quick work of the Iron Spearheads that comes as the stage progresses, while dealing huge damage against the boss.

2. Mizuki's Skill 2: Prisoner's Dilemma coupled with his ISW module will allow him to continously pull enemies toward himself, allowing you extra time to kill the left side.

[nocturne cape]

ITS MIKAGPT

MY FAVORITE

[raw hemlock]

So many words after midnight whoa

[nocturne cape]

basically draft someone that can win you examplary service

like ascalon, entel, mizuki, etc

or wisadel

[raw hemlock]

...well I do have that top op skill training pack from clearing all the current rewards for is6

[nocturne cape]

uhh if you dont have them raise ig something like ethan will work

[raw hemlock]

...it's the one for 6* ops ONLY

[nocturne cape]

uhh yeah what about it

[raw hemlock]

should I use that on Mizuki's s2?

[nocturne cape]

no, just use as is

not worth it

[sinful sparrow]

yeah

mizuki s2m3 is great but it's not really needed

[raw hemlock]

oh

[cedar ivy]

Aspd and sp recov matter way more when it comes to sui foot

[sinful sparrow]

i was gonna say some schizo shit like blaze alter but nah

[raw hemlock]

so save that for later?

[sinful sparrow]

save it for a higher impact mastery

i dont see any in ur roster rn

[nocturne cape]

i think i can pass out any moment

D5 gvg is sleepy

[sinful sparrow]

jobber diff jobber run

wcyd

[nocturne cape]

my brother doesnt have his raidian

[sinful sparrow]

💀

blud is john slacking

[raw hemlock]

so leizi2 and mizuki for recruit priority next?

[sinful sparrow]

sure

[nocturne cape]

sure

[sinful sparrow]

not like you have other 6*s

[raw hemlock]

im sorry, i got swallowed by magia record for 2 years, then r1999 grabbed me in the year between magireco and magia exedra

[cedar ivy]

Eh, surely some people will be slacking what with endfield

[raw hemlock]

I've got the non-level requirements to get haruka's module, at least

[sinful sparrow]

endfield 🫃

[remote badger]

essentially raidian ban

[sinful sparrow]

raidian ban d5

basically normal run

got it

[raw hemlock]

Bad trader or at least one decent thing to help my run?

[nocturne cape]

free at last

see yall in expansion 2 😉

[dusk creek]

53 relics into end2

average dlc run

[nocturne cape]

Its gonna be more if i have raidian

But yeah average expansion run

[dusk creek]

I'm excited to see if my cursed relic theory is right

[sly harness]

Generally you want to drop your LP to 1 for one of the Doubts conditions. So even if the trades are mediocre you usually take them

[wanton rose]

what dlc1 bring to give us more relic

[sinful sparrow]

wtf did i do to get like 40

[raw hemlock]

so should I just get enough stuff from here to do that? I uh.... do in fact have an early doubt node that has that requirement for the better rewards (and my map won't let me go anywhere else besides 1LP doubt node, 50 ingot doubt node, or retrieve nodes that give me a heal and more max life points)

[sinful sparrow]

:lappphone:

[nocturne cape]

Huh?

Wdym

[sly harness]

Yup you should generally try to spend all your LP in the first shop you enter

[raw hemlock]

ok well I got the three 3LP items and the doubt node gave me dark red mask and rosmontis's embrace

that last one's new to me so the item collection's expanding the records yay

[faint rampart]

[sinful sparrow]

yeah i average around

40 relics

by f5 boss

👍

idk what i did wrong basically

[nocturne cape]

Thats crazy

Brother is playing pre dlc

[raw hemlock]

uses the retrive node to give me more max life points
next node's the campfire encounter that restores all my LP after crossing 5 nodes
yessssssssssssss

[sinful sparrow]

its ok my relic quality is good

👍

[nocturne cape]

You gotta greed more

[sinful sparrow]

ok where greed bro

[nocturne cape]

Utilize your trade nodes, take more EMs

Etc

[raw hemlock]

16LP yummy

[sinful sparrow]

i always get my hp to 1 on f2 bosky after trade

to pray for 1 hp doubt

[nocturne cape]

And later you find source of healing and enter trades again

Dont stack shield

You dont need shield if you have 60 relics

My grandmother can hold left with 60 relics

[sinful sparrow]

damn 🚬

[nocturne cape]

The saved run on my acc is 60 relics at ed2

This says ed3 but i skipped every combat on F6

[sinful sparrow]

:gigampreg:

[nocturne cape]

No stir fry no drum

So yeah

[sinful sparrow]

coin machine

[nocturne cape]

If you can maintain high relic count you dont need to highroll every game to win

[raw hemlock]

aight, pathfinder or more candles for f3? (3/7 conserved vouchers, including a spec and a guard voucher)

routes are either
battle > pathfinder > emer battle > lost & found
battle > safehouse > battle > bosky for candles

[remote badger]

my brain is telling me to whip out dijkstra algo

[sly harness]

You can use one voucher when entering a Bosky and it is also possible to get an option to spend a voucher in Safe House. And generally Bosky has higher value

Especially if you can't find ed2 extra Candles will be helpful

Also you will have a Pathfinder on f4 and you still have a lot of space to save more vouchers

[raw hemlock]

ok

[faint rampart]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/976478719499718757.webp?size=48&name=Binoculars

didnt know safe house allowed that, thanks for new info

[sly harness]

btw being able to save 7 vouchers sounds crazy... my playing with only 3

[faint rampart]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1185241932327301190.gif?size=48&animated=true&name=Frog_WorryPat

same...but got used to it atp

[raw hemlock]

should i do a f3 bosky or just get the candles, then?

[sly harness]

If you can clear the fights/fullfil Doubts conditions just take it otherwise you can save the Candles

[sinful sparrow]

[pastel saffron]

@sinful sparrow do u know what's new in IS6 Expansion 2?

[sinful sparrow]

A lot

Still doing stuffs

I’ll get back to you once I win an ed5 run

[floral mist]

One of the new tech trees:
|| All Talismans take 1 damage per second ||

You heard that right

[stray dove]

#cn-lounge message

Ed5 boss

[stray dove]

HAHHAHAHHA

Thats one way to solve Lazer permalocked by talisman

[slate nebula]

Oh yes

[slate nebula]

Oh-. Fu-.

[pearl oyster]

What does tongbao rouge token do?

The one you get from returning Cannot’s money.

[sonic sable]

Thoughts on matsuriki in is6?

[wanton rose]

king's relic in is6???

[void root]

Is there even king relics in IS6

[remote badger]

expansion 2 i think

[native sky]

wtf are enemy talents in end5

This is so fucking long

[void root]

Basically more rare relics might appear in his shop

Tldr: enemies tankier and can one shot Hoshi2

[real mango]

What in the goddamn fuck

[pastel saffron]

Looks easy ngl

[floral mist]

Is it like okay to spoiler alert new enemies here?

As long as it related to IS?

[carmine token]

ts reminds me of the duck lord stage in is4

[pearl oyster]

What difficulties do you need for max squad badge?

[floral mist]

Squad badges???

Any of them

[lost anchor]

D12

[native sky]

bro wtf are these

[carmine token]

the new fun boss in is6

[native sky]

3/48 but leak 200+

someone even leaked 799+

[carmine token]

the boss constatly summon enemies

[native sky]

he insta killed boss

so enemies came all together

[carmine token]

[native sky]

with reflect dmg

I think we need lin

but idk if the reflect dmg surpass lin shield…

[carmine token]

what is gonna do bro??

[native sky]

this bro is nearly full relics

but still

leak 289

[heavy pumice]

huh what is that?
seem fun, well more like device destroyer

[carmine token]

ed5 is6

[native sky]

and I guess we definitely need yato s3

[heavy pumice]

i see
533 lp
got bad feeling about it

[native sky]

Bro wtf

Wdym by 1,2,3end bosses coming

💀 💀 💀 💀

[heavy pumice]

the same as amiya boss gimmick then

[native sky]

This difficulty is much more difficult than 3tier egg

The other choice is much more peaceful

Only end5 boss

226 relics

And -289

💀

[heavy pumice]

no, leak 289 in highroll run already tell how hard is this

[native sky]

this is just d16

imagine d18

[carmine token]

the bosses are not nerfed

yi can summon his shit too

[heavy pumice]

i see
guess i will stop comment for now
didnt play IS6 at all so... yeah

but at least (i am guessing) this IS have some worthy challenge to beat
finally i got a reason to use a far stronger ops

:ya:

[stray dove]

Oh great. We got a Theresis in IS6

[slate nebula]

What in the actual fu-.

[slate nebula]

noooooo

Anyway, if later someone can tell me what the ED5 on IS6 means, what happen and etc, just mention me

[remote badger]

tl it urself

[sudden cloak]

HG be throwing wtv

[jovial quarry]

10 bosses in one single combat

[sudden cloak]

can u send the link? i kinda want to see XD

[jovial quarry]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1qKzCB1EYq

And the option he chose lead to harder stage (with 10 bosses)

[slate hull]

what did I watch, pretty sure my phone would explode if I tried to play that

[stray dove]

these guys....

as if the boss and mob rush isn't enough

they're spamming Potemkins and these guys.

[remote badger]

umm

[muted tundra]

i believe in u

[remote badger]

hai

[muted tundra]

hiiii

[remote badger]

mmm

i've been running trag+raidian for 625

[stray dove]

that's quite the first blind impression for an Ed5 boss

[sinful sparrow]

i died twice today

one on ed5 (1+5)
one on ed4 (1+4+5)

so i go to bed now

and try again tomorrow

[stray dove]

and here I thought Amiyi with 1-phase Quilon/Theresis/Manfred/Sanktriot was overwhelming

[muted tundra]

[sinful sparrow]

[pastel saffron]

these green stages are already so laggy on old phones

its so over for my snapdragon 845

[lost anchor]

is this ending3

[stray dove]

yes

[lost anchor]

if I choose the special option in pathfinder, I get ed3 guaranteed? is6 guide doesn't say anything 💀 just info on how to beat the stages

[crimson nest]

Ye. Those stuffs has always been guaranteed.

[severe oasis]

so how easy is expansion 2

[remote badger]

ed5 is questionable

[lost anchor]

alr nice, I'm used to is2/3 shitty ending reqs

[sly harness]

||The Talisman's bleed and just deleting Hours of Sui|| are more questionable

[stray dove]

i mean

there was a method to delete or downgrade Paradigms

Hours is more brutal without any counterplay to weaken or undo it

[carmine token]

the deletion kinda give piss result

[stray dove]

explain?

[carmine token]

the +30hp,atk% hr gives only -5% atk when made a good one

[sly harness]

I mean the problem is that you can just completely delete both (f2 and f4 one) of them at a quite cheap price and extremely consistent

[carmine token]

or -10% hp

for another

the only good i heard was the all summon thingy take 1 dps

[sly harness]

Like giving as an option to delete one of them would already be fine and would give as an space for some decisions making but now you just dealt them

[carmine token]

yea, but if give the opinion to make them good, dont give me feeble precent

[sly harness]

The fact that you can delete the negative effects is already incredibly huge

[stray dove]

indeed

[lost anchor]

ok I got the worst ed3 boss variant (double cannon right)

I won because I have golden chalice + aspd tongbao am skilled

[remote badger]

highroller

[stray dove]

considering 3 out of the 4 corner tiles always have cannons

the worst start variation is common af

[sly harness]

3 out of 4 variants have two Wallbreakers on the right (a bit weird because two variants look completely the same - source Tomimi) so basically 75% for that

Just assume you will get it all the time

[stray dove]

wouldn't it be 50-50 if we consider the corner without the cannon as possible for all corner ranged tiles?

[sly harness]

that's what I'm talking about, there's no variant on Tomimi where the upper right corner is free, I don't know if it's a Tomimi error or if it really doesn't exist.

[river juniper]

exu2 or borrowed wis as a starter

[nocturne cape]

both works

which ending, what diff?

and squad if you know

[river juniper]

eh

just starting

[nocturne cape]

exu2

[river juniper]

ty

[severe oasis]

cube what did they add in expansion

[pastel saffron]

I been asking this since morning and everyone looks at me like I commited a damn felony and avoid

[nocturne cape]

a shit ton of coin
ability to lock coin upon retossing (1 ingot to lock 1, 5 ingot to lock 2)
more tree upgrade, the 3 initial theme squad got a really huge buff

ed5 ofc

and uhh

ill have to play more to find out

oh you can remove debuff hours now

pretty cheap too

[severe oasis]

lock coin is huge

wtff

[nocturne cape]

the first trade node in bosky will sell a 1 LP item that turn one of your debuff hour into a buff

[severe oasis]

did you do ed5 yet

[nocturne cape]

not yet

climbing to D18, on my second run

currently D17, playing the new doodle squad

[severe oasis]

i wonder if is6 is hard now! surely right

[nocturne cape]

from what i've seen the most difficult version of ED5 feels like the hardest stage Arknights have seen

[severe oasis]

????

[nocturne cape]

i have no idea how to beat it on a non loop run

[severe oasis]

Okay thats

a jump

is it the bullshit i saw with like 800 enemies

[nocturne cape]

ED5 highest diff spoiler

[severe oasis]

i assumed that was a bug

[pastel saffron]

all relics btw

crazy

Pattern recognition

[nocturne cape]

the base version doesnt look too bad

ill see if i can get a clear today

[severe oasis]

i just see a lost colossus in there

[pastel saffron]

they added hoshi after that stage with a lot of Yu event dragons

[severe oasis]

whatever man

[pastel saffron]

we might be about to get an operator

[severe oasis]

what about

[pastel saffron]

capable of destroying this stage

[severe oasis]

new stages

[pastel saffron]

need ts in IS5, I hope they add it when they make d18

[nocturne cape]

there's one new F4 stage that i've played

feels interesting

Ato event ninjas

[pastel saffron]

[severe oasis]

wonder how many they added

[nocturne cape]

theres one new bosky stage that looks pretty hard

not much

[severe oasis]

and if they are bs or not

[nocturne cape]

according to euthy

[pastel saffron]

the one with sheeps?

[nocturne cape]

yeah

[severe oasis]

btw whats the d18 condition i dont think i understand jt

[nocturne cape]

routeweave net

[severe oasis]

oh

sick

[pastel saffron]

I think if u have ground presence + raidian it should be pretty solvable but not sure

[nocturne cape]

i need to play more and find out

uhhh

endfield AND dlc2

hard to decide

[severe oasis]

endfield can wait!

[nocturne cape]

yeah

thats what im doing rn

dlc2

[severe oasis]

idrc about endfield much rn ive just been doing dailies

[pastel saffron]

the starting is same as any other gacha, just climb fast to max AR or whatever its called

Skip

[nocturne cape]

this squad is so goofy

F1 encounter gives me 3 coupon 3 relics and 3 hope

second encounter replaced all my initial tongbao

lmfao

[remote badger]

lmao

the tongbaos is so good bruh

for me

[nocturne cape]

the 2026 doodle

[paper notch]

holy

[nocturne cape]

ohh i see

so this squad is basically a 'bank'

you start with some options that benefit your run

but you can only take these option at a non combat node

and once you take one option they're gone for the rest of the run

interesting

doodle except fun and actually requires management

good direction

[remote badger]

is hg even teaching us the basics of banking and stock trading

i wondered

[dusk creek]

I thought the options were tied to each encounter

You think there’s some generic options that apply to everything?

[nocturne cape]

1st option seems to be randomized

2nd and 3rd will always be "1 relic" or "1 voucher"

ok this squad feels very complicated to play optimally

but its fine

holy

i love this

[dusk creek]

Oh that’s interesting

I guess it makes more sense than having a personalised option for every non combat node

[nocturne cape]

because in bosky you can turn the useless wish nodes or early leisures into squad effect

[dusk creek]

[remote badger]

[nocturne cape]

ooh this doesnt look like the sheep one

so 2 new bosky stages?

[gaunt bay]

Hi cube

Hows exp2

[slate hull]

what enemies spawn on there? it looks suspiciously simple just based on the stage layout

[nocturne cape]

a shit ton of swordsman and some Mateo's Guard

and those stealth snipers too

a bit sus

[nocturne cape]

on my second run

feels fun so far

[gaunt bay]

Is there d18?

[nocturne cape]

yes

[gaunt bay]

Is it hard

[nocturne cape]

not there yet

D17

[timber token]

How do you beat this

[sly harness]

shoot until it dies

[timber token]

Seems like anyone that deployed almost instantly dies

[static dragon]

the floor pattern still make me disoirented

true to the omnious feng shui

[real mango]

IS6 expansion 2 makes Talismans lose 1 HP/sec

WHY WASN'T THIS A THING SINCE THE BEGINNING

[timber token]

It wasn't before?

[real mango]

No

You had to actually kill them

[paper notch]

it's added in the skill tree after the 2nd exp. drops

[timber token]

Guess that's why you have to give them an unison survey critique

[timber token]

Any other ||actual|| suggestions on this?

[slate nebula]

Wait-. 10 bosses?!?!

[timber token]

How one can beat this incase they don't have that many HP

[copper orchid]

Its fine

[earnest shuttle]

What is wrong with this mode...
I had to dig up every single place

[timber token]

This still not answer how one could be this with let say less than 100 HP

[copper orchid]

This is basically t3 egg, dont think its meant for players to beat with normal run

[nocturne cape]

its day 1

calm

[copper orchid]

Ye

Ppl will eventually figure

[timber token]

Makes sense

I really Don't see any reason to beat this gameplay wise other than self satisfaction

dont tell me they added more broken skill to Raidian that requires to beat ED5 boss

[earnest shuttle]

challenge yourself because you have too much time on your hands

[empty gulch]

ANCHOR IN MY ASS, WTF ARE THOSE ENEMIES

[timber token]

has 11 other gacha games

Yeah, too much time on my hand

[earnest shuttle]

[timber token]

Other than bosses and skill tree and the usual stuffs, what else they added in this expansion

Like Raidian special skill for IS6 only etc

[nocturne cape]

no new raidian stuff

uhh you can lock tongbao before retossing them is something new ig

[timber token]

Now that's actual game changer

[nocturne cape]

time to play the actual game

[timber token]

... skill/squad tied i assume?

[nocturne cape]

no

universal

[timber token]

D18 is the cap?

Nice

[earnest shuttle]

oh thats awesome

[empty gulch]

as i understand, one of ed5 relics || causes more enemies to appear in every map ||

[nocturne cape]

no, thats D18 modifier

[empty gulch]

i should definitely reach d18

thats gonna be fun when ed5 comes to global

[errant siren]

||it's the D18 condition||

d16: all enemies ASPD +20; “后善” (ending 4 boss 1) HP increased and summons different enemies; “矩善” (ending 4 boss 2) ATK increased

d17: leader enemies ATK +20%; hope discount when recruiting and promoting operators in Pathfinder nodes is reduced to 1; <ending 5 thing> effect increased; <ending 5 thing> ATK increased

d18: rerolling tongbao costs more coupons; some combat nodes contain new enemies; <ending 5 thing> has 100% physical and arts dodge against damage sources not blocking it

[empty gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/hampson-hamter-hampter-jeram-jerma-gif-26319646

[slate nebula]

Yes.

[gaunt bay]

the

what

what is that

[slate nebula]

Im sorry, W H A T ?!?!!

[earnest shuttle]

100% dmg dodge if not comes from the block unit

[errant siren]

Wow

Fair bossfight we got here

[timber token]

Oh wait

Can ED5 accessible at D0?

[slate hull]

butterfly node only 3 lines away from the start, which means my theory that it had to be at least 4 lines was completely wrong

anyway, this would be an amazing run if that hour wasn't placing talismans on all supporters, specialists and guards

[empty gulch]

its accessible at any diff, just like other endings

[copper orchid]

Basically t3 egg with burden mind n18 amiya

Translates to

Btw

He immediately killed the right boss, so the picture is missing an extra boss

It does look pretty shocking on first look

[empty gulch]

who?

[copper orchid]

Time to se ehow the players play out

[copper orchid]

Its the dragon

[timber token]

Guess it's doable after all

[mint shore]

This is look like chinese pvz mod tbh

[gritty mason]

whats main skill for may, beanstalk, deepcolor in is5? s1 for may and s2 for the other 2?

[nocturne cape]

this shit is so cringe

[severe oasis]

hello wtf

is that a thing that happens or is that just random chance

[sly harness]

I would say that for May and Beanstalk both are useful and as for Deepcolor S1 will be rather useless since her summon will be oneshot anyway, so Dodge cope sounds better

[severe oasis]

also why did they add hands back

are there atleast new ones

[sly harness]

does Hand of Rumble exist?

[nocturne cape]

idk

its not on there

[gaunt bay]

omg rose hai :3

[gaunt bay]

hands are back this game sucks

[severe oasis]

haiiii

cube did they add fated encounter!

[nocturne cape]

no

but kings are back

[gaunt bay]

ts so cringe

[dusk creek]

Those are the only 6 hands that have returned from what I know

Like they added back 6 hands and those are the ones exactly

[gaunt bay]

so did he just so happen to come across every hand at once by chance or is that a special shop type

[severe oasis]

im killing hg

[nocturne cape]

hi killing hg

im cube

[severe oasis]

cube beat ed5

[gaunt bay]

cube do my cc for me

[copper orchid]

I am curious

Since t3 for 5th ending is6 has the dragon foot already

What if u just dont clear 2nd ending and bring it there

Do you just have to fight 2

[dusk creek]

the t3 egg req has nothing to do with end2 I believe

you can fight either end1 or end2 and still do the t3 fight

[copper orchid]

Mb maybe i word it wrong

Cuz ed5 already had the foot

[severe oasis]

i think what they're saying is
you take ed2 legend node
ignore the foot that spawns in every battle
do ed1
get to ed5, still have the foot from legend, but the real one is here too

[copper orchid]

What if i get the relic that summons the foot and bring it to ed5 t3

Ye

[dusk creek]

oh that would be funny

[severe oasis]

you wouldnt see both at once i think, because the real one will only appear at the end

[faint rampart]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/976478719499718757.webp?size=48&name=Binoculars

surely not back to hands comp

[nocturne cape]

theres already an option to make the feet appear in ed5

but you need to kill the feet

first

[slate hull]

guess who forgot that the foot attacks in ed2 insta-wipe the entire map on d15, this run had everything going for it except for survivability relics/coins or any form of debuffs (that last one is entirely my fault)

[slate hull]

how does waai fu tech work? foot comes down, punch once and then retreat? I am assuming e2 is not necessary, but could be nice to have

[sly harness]

Just fully built her for d18

To support Exu shield

[bronze vale]

Chat how to get ending 3 in is6?

[slate hull]

you need to complete ending 2, that unlocks a specific doubts node that starts ed3

[empty gulch]

doubt node "a game of weiqi" (requires 5 candleguests) > option "flip the board" = unflinching masterplan > pathfinder node, special battle = ed3 unlocked

keep in mind that only candleguests can be used in ed3 boss stage

[bronze vale]

I see,thanks man

[empty gulch]

no problem

but be prepared, both ed3 relics contain severe debuffs

[lost anchor]

Remind me to never play with ed2 left side ever again

Mf golden chalice and I still died

[empty gulch]

never play with ed2 left side

[lost anchor]

Thanks bro

[slate hull]

left side is a scam, you risk leaking more if you kill the enemies

[lost anchor]

I had over 17lp too, I just felt like I was him fr

[sinful sparrow]

losing with 17+ lp and chalice sounds like a skill issue

[brittle saddle]

first impressions on the new ed5 boss fight?

[severe oasis]

im confused how you're supposed to beat it without ling loop

and from my perspective the difficulty of it is only created by the fact theres enough enemies to crash any device older than 2025

but idk not like ive played it maybe theres smth else

[nocturne cape]

D18 ED5 prereq won, -11

[faint rampart]

:roshype:

[severe oasis]

was this first try

[nocturne cape]

first try on this stage? yes

[severe oasis]

nice

[sinful sparrow]

my first try on d16 was -5

[nocturne cape]

this is my third run on D18

[sinful sparrow]

gl

pray for a win screen

[nocturne cape]

im not sure how you win this tho

i leaked him

[sinful sparrow]

:mon3trsmug:

[severe oasis]

how much damage do the floating things do

[sinful sparrow]

💀 💀

[nocturne cape]

bro has 100% dodge

on D18

[sinful sparrow]

Did Shuo leak for

1 lp

or 5

[nocturne cape]

5

[sinful sparrow]

[severe oasis]

and also how much hp does bro have

[sinful sparrow]

a lot

[nocturne cape]

D18 gave the dude 100% dodge

2 full hoshi cycle halved him

i need true damage

[sinful sparrow]

pre d18 was 50 dodge if source isnt blocking him

d18 makes it 100

:joyplush:

maybe we should draft fucking

pozy

or lemon

no shot m3 is enough damage

[severe oasis]

could hoshi not kill him?

like very slowly

but atleast tank and kill

[sinful sparrow]

tanking is hard

[nocturne cape]

this ed5 debuff is mpreg too

[severe oasis]

and also i wonder how much dmg the things do bc it looked like it one shots almost every operator

[nocturne cape]

the play is to draft myrtle

thoughts?

[sinful sparrow]

optimally you're taking the ed5 pre-req on 5F

so Shuo has like

[severe oasis]

the only clear ive watched, it brought hoshi into red in one hit

[sinful sparrow]

500k * 1.25^5

and some other buffs along the way

and a lot of ATK

[nocturne cape]

yes

it 2 shot my hoshi in her ult

insane damage

[severe oasis]

so bro does like

real damage

[sinful sparrow]

dragongjy cleared it on d16, the most basic bitch ed5 version

and he was struggling p hard iirc

funny stuffs

[severe oasis]

the basic version seems like just a consistently doable boss

i dont even understand what the hard one is supposed to be

like is that even intended to be beatable

[sinful sparrow]

its for the nerds that abuse the Ling loop

and even then it might not even be trivial at all

[severe oasis]

if it really is impossible without loop i think its kinda dumb

[sinful sparrow]

technically the hardest variation of IS5

2a45/3 is also not really possible unless you highroll a lot of shit

so

they just cranked that shit to a 13

[nocturne cape]

@sinful sparrow

mpreg

[sinful sparrow]

:joyplush:

[raw hemlock]

got home early from work so it's IS6 ed2 practice time-

Exemplary Service

[severe oasis]

do u not use any hitcount operators? even just raidian s2

[raw hemlock]

uhh current available squad options on f4 is raidian, exu2 (borrowed), leizi2, podenco, mizuki, hoshialt, nara, canta, amiya, myrtle, and the reserve ops

non-reserve ops are all candleguests, raidian, exu2, podenco, and myrtle are all promoted on top of being candleguests

[nocturne cape]

F6 EM done

[slate hull]

you are stacked, I usually like to place lines of fish behind the rocks and exu2 on that ranged tile in the middle, leizi can go on the other side of the map, place the rest however seems good

[stray dove]

what are they?

[sinful sparrow]

damn slop emer

[sinful sparrow]

-50% dp regen

[raw hemlock]

:o i did it

[stray dove]

damn.

that's gonna go well with Ssu Nung

[nocturne cape]

died to ED4 lmao

💀

why is this stage so cancer now

that D16 modifier doing work

[stray dove]

you doing 245 as a way to ease into 235 or something?

[nocturne cape]

we're not there yet jusan

i need to win ed5 first

[stray dove]

ah

because i can imagine how foul 235 is already looking

with ed 3 and ed5 debuffs

and then seeing that Ed5 hardest-version monstrosity

[rotund copper]

is6 ending 5 exist somehow

😨

[raw hemlock]

I'm doing it

[teal hedge]

what is the hard version of ed5 supposed to be? like i dont know what the boss does but it seems like the stage itself is just spamming every enemy in the game

[raw hemlock]

So which path do I take in this case?

got vg, sniper, and elite HR letter for conserved vouchers

[slate hull]

have you killed the foot already?

[raw hemlock]

no, I got the relic and had a lot of non-battle nodes in bosky last floor

went through a trader (grabbed the stir-fry from that one), a doubt node, and a retrieve node that gave me more max life points before seeing any battle nodes

also took a tavern to trade some ingots for obj shields

[faint rampart]

muted past>bosky>op>em op?

unless there's better option for vertical travel

[slate hull]

if we are talking max number of battles to kill the foot then that path makes the most sense + you can get more stuff from bosky

the hardest part is going to be surviving the boss attacks in the final battle, it is probably fine at this difficulty, but you can get absolutely destroyed if you don't have shields and/or debuff the boss

[faint rampart]

enough lp to leak left
got hoshi exu raidian tuya

[raw hemlock]

that's that health bar at the top of the screen?

[slate hull]

one is an hp bar, one is a timer that tells you when everyone in a 3x3 area is going to get pancaked

[raw hemlock]

AAAAAAAA

[slate hull]

have fun

[raw hemlock]

well that's another two supporter vouchers-

uhhhhh primal farming or painter's realm?

[faint rampart]

i forgot what they even do

[potent gulch]

is the cn ed5 topic allowed here?

[raw hemlock]

well i just went with the first one (more coupons OR more candles might work better for me here)

now uhhhhhhhh do I promote canta, promote nara, or get haruka since I have 2 supporter vouchers?

[faint rampart]

seeing painters realm is for bosky...sui fight isnt in bosky

[faint rampart]

uhhh

ive seen people talk about it

[potent gulch]

oh

[faint rampart]

so it shouldn't be banned or anything

[potent gulch]

i just watch the run

in yt

look insane

[raw hemlock]

(looks at current coupons )

[faint rampart]

although they still put spoilers on maps so

[faint rampart]

wha

[potent gulch]

isnt it better to kill sui foot in bosky

[raw hemlock]

was recommended to use the coupons to hop a node on f5 after bosky

[potent gulch]

i tend to use all my coupon before the boss node for better coin toss combination

[raw hemlock]

got unlucky with turmoil nodes showing up there (only seen 3 so far)

[faint rampart]

oh you meant not enough coupons for tossing?

[raw hemlock]

yea

[faint rampart]

[potent gulch]

some turmoil i think

[raw hemlock]

the turmoil nodes HATE me this runnnnnnnnnnn

[potent gulch]

i think some turmoil doesnt give coupon drop... i might be wrong

[raw hemlock]

they hide from me and give me legend or retrieve nodessssssss

but should i use a conserved voucher?

[faint rampart]

for what

like

[potent gulch]

legend sometime is a lifesaver after buying stuff in bosky shop

[raw hemlock]

i like the one that can restore all my LP if I explore enough

I got these ones

[faint rampart]

haruka?

[raw hemlock]

recency bias is like "what if haruka" yea

[potent gulch]

also in the newest ed5
does it still locked to candle ops only?

i rarely recruit haruka in is6

coz too many good supporter

[sinful sparrow]

its not locked to candle

[nocturne cape]

No

[raw hemlock]

i like her bubbles

they got fish in them

:3

[potent gulch]

no need bubble if ur ops already tanky

the relic that give 50% hp + another 30% for candle ops was pretty broken xD

[faint rampart]

[raw hemlock]

so final votes on my voucher use? if nobody argues against it im getting haruka

[sinful sparrow]

mf is making it as if you can find it every run

[potent gulch]

Got lucky alot during doubt 2 relic reward pass

[slate hull]

I have never seen this thing in is6

the aegis has a similar effect and it is quite common, but I had no idea this thing even existed

[faint rampart]

go with haru

[empty gulch]

is that Garrison? i forgor

[nocturne cape]

Expansion 1 stage

Thats why its in spoiler

[empty gulch]

it just looks familiar so i thought it was Garrison

[raw hemlock]

whoa that's a thing ive never seen before

[potent gulch]

This thing feel so useless

Copy support item adjacent 4 tile facing the same way as the original

[slate hull]

hmm, apparently I am at 184/233

[woeful anchor]

cos it's useless

[faint rampart]

placing the snowsants retreat thingy and it retreats bunch of your ops

[gaunt bay]

how ass is ed5 cube

[raw hemlock]

legitimately oof

[woeful anchor]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/997212756153487481/1464621288327745780/Screenshot_20260124-090151.png?ex=6976cb1e&is=6975799e&hm=508ea9a80424a83e1c810111378127aa41ad73cd94b9fd64112aee627b457a58&

[potent gulch]

What does that body do

[faint rampart]

[raw hemlock]

what

[gaunt bay]

yeah i saw that ss

hbow about the basic version tho

[potent gulch]

Does the body act like sui foot, making u unable to deploy ops there?

[faint rampart]

friv tunes should be doable with your team no?

[potent gulch]

Wait 48 enemies?

[nocturne cape]

I cant tell you because i havent play ed5

[potent gulch]

Just now the vid i saw has like over 150 enemy

[raw hemlock]

one's got the Kazimierz enemies, the other has that guy on the old bicycle with the BIG wheel

[faint rampart]

yea it should be doable ithink... atleast the bicycle one

[sinful sparrow]

pretty sure frivolous tunes should not be that bad with raidian s3 hoshi

[faint rampart]

considering you have mizuki to suck dragons

[potent gulch]

Failing to kill ed5 boss is instant lose like amiya in is5? Regardless of how much lp u have?

[cold fjord]

No

Boss leaks for 50

[split void]

I thought this was IS6 things

[potent gulch]

So amiya is the only special one huh doin -999 lp

[woeful anchor]

mizooki sucks dragons?

[faint rampart]

im pretty sure he does

unless they ate someone and are in hovering state which idk

[raw hemlock]

s2 or s3 for raidian for this one, then?

[sinful sparrow]

3

you need the damage for the cloud dragons wave

that follows

[faint rampart]

[raw hemlock]

ok

OH GOD THE DRAGON IS HERE TOO AAAAAAAAAA-

[faint rampart]

i thought s2 was preferred one here but idk, mika better player so follow him

[raw hemlock]

[slate hull]

the dragon will keep appearing until you get it to 50% hp, that gets you the item you need for ed2

[faint rampart]

did i confuse floaty dragon with the sui foot dragon wha

[potent gulch]

U have like 30s to dmg it to half

[raw hemlock]

(the rock guy stunned nara when I brought her out after the foot appeared)

got a new turmoil, it's ware-user

[potent gulch]

This 1 is easy if u have wis or exualt

[faint rampart]

what are the enemies

[potent gulch]

But becareful of imperial artillery drone

[raw hemlock]

the one with the drone

[faint rampart]

oh then it should be doable

[potent gulch]

Do not go into the imp drone range

[raw hemlock]

this one is more manageable than the other enemy set for me

[potent gulch]

That thing can instant kill any ops

[raw hemlock]

ok

curse of legend node again...

which turmoil should I do next? friv tunes with kazimierz enemies or strange tales with the guys who steal my DP and stunlock my ops?

[remote badger]

friv tunes

[raw hemlock]

...where'd the dragon foot go?

wait when'd I get the carved inkstick remnant-

?????????

[faint rampart]

good luck for ed2

[raw hemlock]

should I exchange some LP for tongbao? I have 15 obj shield still

and there's a lot of blank coins I wanna trade out

[faint rampart]

no more fights left?

/or even doubts

[raw hemlock]

only strange tales left, any other node-hunting is locked behind a doubt node that wants 12 hope

WAIT

...what is this one

never done this one

"to forget oneself"

[faint rampart]

raidian s3

[raw hemlock]

uhhhhhhhh do strange tales or forget oneself?

[faint rampart]

i think

[raw hemlock]

This map is WEIRDDDDD

[faint rampart]

i mean atp strange tales should be really easy too

[faint rampart]

uhhh if its the sarkaz beyblade ejectors then you can still do it with hoshi(?) for left side
if its the laterano one then ez

[raw hemlock]

it's starting off with a drone

[faint rampart]

you have best snipers why are you afraid😢

[raw hemlock]

drone PTSD

SODAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

sorry-

got the vanilla soda relic

[faint rampart]

[raw hemlock]

oooooooooo toy slingshot

oh the EM battle is unlit sparks

[faint rampart]

run away

[raw hemlock]

just go to the encounter node on the path then?

o that's plants

[faint rampart]

prolly yea

[faint rampart]

run away

[raw hemlock]

i could go vertical on that one

and the other encounter let me go into bosky again????????

you can do that????????

[faint rampart]

?
