[nocturne cape]

the QoL happened a little bit before dlc1

i hope it'll be the case as well for EN

[slate hull]

it is so annoying because ed3 is always the first doubts node you find

so why did they have to make ed2 completely random

[nocturne cape]

you should always check

[sly harness]

there are rare exceptions

[nocturne cape]

sometimes its not the first doubts

[slate hull]

man, everything I know is wrong

at least with doubts it doesn't really matter because you don't waste candles

or potentially useful events

[sly harness]

tbh it doesn't bother me that much how this ed2 Legend works, i.e. if you play correctly you will be able to get it very consistently and complains about it are very exaggerated

[nocturne cape]

this one i do have evidence of

[sly harness]

and I like how much it forces you to optimize the Bosky if you want to play 23. very nice contrast to braindead pathing outside of it

[dusk creek]

I assume the prophecy change fixes the end2 legend not spawning issue

[nocturne cape]

ye

[dusk creek]

which is the important bit

[nocturne cape]

but ed2 not spawning is extremely extremely rare

ive seen it once

[sly harness]

It's definitely a problem that needs fixing, but strangely enough, I don't remember ever encountering it.

[nocturne cape]

very rare

[dull valley]

How does the special battle on the candle node work? I cleared every mob then my unit just gets nuked by zeus and it says I fail the stage since the op on the middle tile died

[nocturne cape]

so rare that you usually cant blame missing ed2 on it

[slate hull]

I have had runs where I explored everything except for 2-3 nodes and never found it, but no idea if it was bugged or if it was in those nodes

[nocturne cape]

its 99% within those few nodes

[faint rampart]

you gotta keep them alive to turn them into a cguest

[nocturne cape]

again, so rare that you shouldn't be considering this when you're missing ed2

[dull valley]

Yea but whats with this shitty lightning that one shots em

Early on when I only have e1 I think only a defender can tank that

[sly harness]

before etering the node you can read the mechanic of this tile

[faint rampart]

uhhhh im pretty sure suss can do it?

[sly harness]

there are 5 variants

[sly harness]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Candle_Stand

[dull valley]

K thx

[dusk creek]

roberta also works against lightning

[halcyon flame]

far as i know yes

prob just not like

super large egg 235

[sly harness]

bro is probably lost

[slate hull]

oh yeah, you can shift through vagary tiles

what happens in this case, does he just stand there because he can't get to his original path?

[sly harness]

yes, he just stands there and does nothing

[slate hull]

that is really useful, I threw this stage too many times because I underestimated how easy it is to kill this guy

too bad I don't have Mizuki, using vouchers on any other shifters doesn't really seem great

we need like a Shaw alter

[sly harness]

No one is as good as Mizuki

Like e.g. here he solo solves the top

[slate hull]

ah, gets enemies in the holes

[grizzled nexus]

Is there a requirement to get Cohesive Might Tongbao or is it just super rare Tongbao?

[sly harness]

just use this as a refrnce and trade your coins in Plan

[slate hull]

I remember people struggling to get it for their collections

[grizzled nexus]

Huh, there is a chart...

[slate hull]

I am still not sure if the coin is rare or if you can only get it from plan because the other 2 coins in that rarity seem to appear every few runs

oh yeah, cocoon silk is the one support squad starts with, so I guess that is probably a valid strat for this

[sly harness]

Yeeee

[stray dove]

it's because it wasn't common knowledge that Plan

acts like Lost & Found

that it's based on rarity

[sly harness]

This was "fun"

[stray dove]

I would know

because it took me forever to get Cohesive Might

[faint rampart]

does anyone have swalter with IS module here

[woeful anchor]

[stray dove]

😇

[sinful sparrow]

cuz the bank i work at doesnt have the work-on-weekends culture

😇

[stray dove]

it's either a Tues-Sat

or theyre in an industry

that does 6 working days

i mean....retail, food or sales would be 6 working days iirc?

[sly harness]

Welcome back Soul Escort

[sinful sparrow]

@woeful anchor damn why r u working at mcdonalds

😢

[woeful knot]

avg cs graduate

😔

[gaunt bay]

🥹

[stray dove]

we all know all college graduates become cashiers for their internship

[faint rampart]

life not looking good if thats the future

[stray dove]

my dude

[arctic panther]

nah, i’d win

[stray dove]

it's already bad

We have private security guards in my country

that need college graduation

and no, not bodyguards

security guards

the guys who hang out outside of a building to act as gateway to sus activities

[faint rampart]

[stray dove]

college is a fucking scam

unless you're hitting specific professions

if you're aimless on what to do as a job, don't bother trying to go for college first. you're wasting money

[native sky]

where u at jusan？

[stray dove]

Philippines

[native sky]

Huh

[faint rampart]

itssoover

[stray dove]

if a system can bleed you of your wealth

they will

[woeful knot]

@woeful anchor ur not gonna believe this

[gaunt bay]

Jobber station damn

[sinful sparrow]

its 2026 bro

everyone has j*b

[woeful anchor]

damn no side hustles 😢

[sinful sparrow]

my side hustle is chilling on weekends 😊

[fickle jungle]

One lucky guy
The bank near me still works on sat
Only till 2 pm tho

[sinful sparrow]

technically it still has a 4 hour work on saturday

but you can just join the weekly knowledge sharing session at home online

and it also counts as 4 hour of work

[fickle jungle]

I would just go to work at that point
Unless the meeting does share something useful
I cannot stand being presented just to do nothing 💀

[remote badger]

wtf

[woeful anchor]

smh my head

[woeful anchor]

bruh

its all making sense now

[remote badger]

yep jobs

[woeful knot]

right??

[sinful sparrow]

you do not have to mic up bro

just get in, and wait for the QR scan

:joyplush:

[remote badger]

seems simple

[brittle saddle]

how does the is6ed5 chongus fight work

[remote badger]

u fight him

like usual kill anything onsight

[faint rampart]

so you can do something else...

[pastel saffron]

@sly harness u have vid for f1 shop rob with humus? I just had humus, raidian, exia, medicmiya, such a good f1 shop, prolly giga high roll and cannot talisman everyone at once and I got brutally cooked

the d15 talisman is smth else

[sinful sparrow]

how did you even

???

[stray dove]

you just tank the leak

did you die from it?

thats the point of how Raidian S1 carries laning

you just try to block as many blokes as possible

when talisman spammed

if you survive, you already successful

[prime mountain]

Or join the gvg side and get a free rob with e2 leizi and e1 entel

👍

Renounce Raidian!

[sinful sparrow]

what if you just clear shop rob easily

[stray dove]

dual classes and Special squad gonna get their stocks crash the moment we get exp1-2

[sinful sparrow]

with entel raidian

[prime mountain]

Its fine we get new broken squads there

[stray dove]

i mean thats what i meant

also no longer any reason to rob F1

in exp

[pastel saffron]

I think mu mistake was deploying all 3 ranged units close to each other, first exia died then raidian them amiya

never happened before

[prime mountain]

You're supposed to keep skill preps and see the talisman attack about to hit

[stray dove]

which expansion gives the guaranteed shop relic that acts like a bosky entrance?

[prime mountain]

and use skills right before

[pastel saffron]

I actually after dying thought something like this must exist

[stray dove]

that alone killed reason to do F1 robbing

[pastel saffron]

but then I was like no one told me

so its prolly not there

[stray dove]

you just learn that shit

unless you're stumped as to what to do

[pastel saffron]

I'll rmb that

[stray dove]

you just try to mimic the strat

and adjust to changes

[pastel saffron]

My pre refresh shop had the 8 hope relic

[stray dove]

nothing is worse than talisman spam that's for sure

[pastel saffron]

I drafted exia coz sm hope

[pastel saffron]

its not the same everytime either

cannot can make stuff invincible at any time

[stray dove]

thats what i meant by adjust to changes

i'd rather he make shit invincible

than give every operator a talisman

[prime mountain]

He can make talismans invincible 🤫

[stray dove]

cause invincibility buffs don't last long

[pastel saffron]

for def supp I did Raidian/MedicMiya/Humus start btw

is medicmiya at start legit or just take purestream?

[pastel saffron]

yeah he gave talisman to 3 ops for me at once

[sinful sparrow]

1

[stray dove]

so Exp1, F1 robbing is already dead

just from that 1 relic

and additional QoLs

[prime mountain]

Starting squad being candled

[stray dove]

3 candles visit is just too valuable

[sinful sparrow]

idk man

dlc2 you just rob f6

[stray dove]

no what i meant is

what if you're only doing ed1-2

[prime mountain]

Then you're fraud

!

[stray dove]

D18 clears on ed1-2 only happens in Exp2

unfortunately

can't get rid of that

[faint rampart]

[prime mountain]

So I just realised I had roberta, purestream and sussuro skins but just didnt equip them

[faint rampart]

uh hey furrilo

you got swalter ?

[sinful sparrow]

🫃

[prime mountain]

Yes, only s3m3

[sinful sparrow]

thats the only mastery you need on her anyways

[faint rampart]

i assume that's the skill she uses, can i add you

[sinful sparrow]

and you dont really draft swire if you're not banning exu

[prime mountain]

Consider the s1 healing!!!!!!!!!!

[sly harness]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1mPgBz8Egi/?p=2

[sinful sparrow]

🫃

[faint rampart]

sent, accept+put swire in support whenever youre free thankies

[prime mountain]

👍 will do very soon

[sly harness]

Here is one with +Exu

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Pjuoz3E7F/

[stray dove]

you don't just equip the skin the moment you get it just in case?

[prime mountain]

You see back in my days 4* ops were irrelevant because they cost hope

strange concept

[sly harness]

Cannot rng can be annoying so you need to be ready to adapt according to it

[prime mountain]

Oh also @sly harness meant to ask, what does your gvg draft usually look like and how do you dps ed2? Thats like the only thing I'm still struggling with rn

Like the stage itself is fine but boss just like

doesnt fucking die

[sly harness]

If you roll insanely low less the +75% ATK you will need Swire alter

[prime mountain]

And the strat is just like, save up her skill somewhere and unleash on every deployment hopefully?

[sly harness]

I am exploding to ed2 because my swire isn't built and I try to cope Yato alter

She is not enough

[sinful sparrow]

how far have we gone down the spiral that +75% ATK is considered an average roll

[prime mountain]

Its so ass cause ed2 is the only thing in is6 thats a hard dps check

everything else you can manage somehow

[sinful sparrow]

nope we have ed5

[prime mountain]

ed5 isnt real yet!

[sinful sparrow]

:mon3trsmug:

[sly harness]

+50% is average after f2 Bosky

[prime mountain]

Simply hit the multi choice encounter

[dusk creek]

nahh

[prime mountain]

How simple

[sly harness]

You need to learn to multitask, if your damage is low you need to slow dps the boss while holding the lanes because you won't be able to burst him down in time otherwise

[sinful sparrow]

what if you highroll and then it doesnt matter

🤫

[prime mountain]

Nah even on a highroll this mf is B E E F Y

(unless raidian exu)

Quilon levels of tankyness

[sly harness]

High-rolling is too easy and boring (then you low roll and explode)

[inland elbow]

I aged 2 years reading this ngl

+75% is lowroll now

[faint rampart]

[sly harness]

In IS6? Yes

[prime mountain]

75% being like the highest of highs in is2

[sly harness]

Bro one coin will give you +60

[inland elbow]

Me when highroll in is3 is 35%

[sinful sparrow]

its ok

ur gonna quit the run upon seeing flashing swords anyways

who cares!

[inland elbow]

Nope I simply skip it

Unless it gets forced on me

[sinful sparrow]

what if you roll 1 and it gives you flashing sword

[sly harness]

Btw this was my "gvg" ed2 today

[inland elbow]

But that never happens surely 😇

[sinful sparrow]

love wish fulfilled

[sinful sparrow]

ur next run is gonna be like that

[inland elbow]

Bro

[sinful sparrow]

👍

[remote badger]

sescort is6

this is so cursed bru

[inland elbow]

Ed5 is 6 months away you gotta wait for yato to become mandatory

[sinful sparrow]

mfw i dont have yato

penis

(on CN)

someone save me

[stray dove]

Ol' George's Paste

Is only 30%

But it felt like the world back then

[sly harness]

One more thing I recommend watching this https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV13atwz7E1x

This is an example of a ed2 with gvg it will show you the general setup for this fight and you will usually adapt your strat around something like this

[prime mountain]

Big thanks 👍

[sly harness]

Here you can also see the timings for Leizi S3 to hold the left

[prime mountain]

We used to pray for times like these

Peak

Wait the fuck you mean trag s3 instantly deletes talismans

how did I not know this

There is a kill gate on these enemies

[sinful sparrow]

its true

[halcyon flame]

Gvg has a great match up into ed2 ya

[sly harness]

Yes. It has a in class left solution and a very decent dps against Sui

Ente as a right lane solution is a bit awkward

But ed3 on the other hand is quite bad

[halcyon flame]

I mean ente usually wouldn’t be holding right, she would either be left with S2 or dps on foot with S3

[prime mountain]

Evil gramophone oops

[halcyon flame]

With swaltwr right

And Leizi wherever

[sly harness]

I am usually using this as a reference

So Ente holds right and dps the boss

[sinful sparrow]

kiss? 👉 👈

[sly harness]

Bringing a range lane holder won't work since I am usually not drafting Rose Salt

[halcyon flame]

Later

I can’t view the video rn becuase im on mobile but ente left with swalter right and leiiz somewhere middle or something would be fine no

[sinful sparrow]

:RosHype:

[halcyon flame]

And it’s better DPS on foot

[prime mountain]

Rose salt is just a woops you didnt get any spec tickets for waifuu draft (you blow up either way cause that also means no swalter)

[sly harness]

If you draft Angelina I use her for the left and then I can use Leizi with S2 for the middle (after clearing the first wave she will cycle well for that)

[sinful sparrow]

isnt leizi s3 better

[ionic kestrel]

😋

[sly harness]

Probably for the boss because cycle

[ionic kestrel]

fish eggs

[sly harness]

But if I want her to hold the middle I will rather need S2

Setup from the video

Gummy block in the middle

Swire/Ines helps her

Ines helps Leizi with waves on the left

[sly harness]

And what will you heal with her? Ente? Leizi? No one needs her in the core draft

[prime mountain]

mmm true she kinda barely helps

[odd spire]

I've seen a lot of people use gnosis for max ending 5 is6. Is he needed for that stage?

[prime mountain]

He's kinda just goated overall

[odd spire]

damn, now I regret not buying him from yellow cert shop 😔

[faint rampart]

swire start didn't feel great

[fickle jungle]

His is mod is amazing at dealing with hitcount enemies
Synergize well with sa alter, who you prob will always see in ed5 run

[prime mountain]

Grab him from selector rn bro its so worth

[dim oar]

For IS6 ending 4 need the next update?

[prime mountain]

Yeah need to wait for expansion

[odd spire]

oh, I didn't know he was in the selector. I'll do that

[prime mountain]

I grabbed his last pot from that 👍

We gnosis maxxing

[halcyon flame]

Kjerg cosplay in IS6 the way Salter gnosis and pralter be getting drafted

💀

[dim oar]

IS6 flower squad eh? Coming soon?

For 60 hope for the IS 6 item I need to do the Ling loop hole?

[gaunt bay]

Bro we have 6 months

Hell show up again

[prime mountain]

He's kernel now idk

But he's prob getting a banner pre silvalt event or something

[gaunt bay]

Yeah which means he definitely shows up again

Kernal pool much smaller

• kernal selection

[prime mountain]

yay I giga highrolled another ed2 win

Simply 100 ingot chalice + 8 stack drum

[prime mountain]

Wait nevermind I forgot ines is goated

[remote badger]

[gaunt bay]

[prime mountain]

You can skip base tutorials now

best guard for tragodia start in is5? options are quartz/utage/humus. Bonus if any of those good in is3/6 (havent done those 2 either)

[sinful sparrow]

Humus

[woeful anchor]

humus

[faint rampart]

for swire? S3
but dont use insta m3 or some sht, i already got one from furrilo
thanks for remembering tho

[split void]

Just level cap and UI here right ?

[cursive verge]

Which 4 stars are good for is4

[faint rampart]

welll thats a missed opportunity to have you in my frenlist, sadge

[remote badger]

usually

just use 3*s

[woeful anchor]

myrtle

gravel

end of list

[cursive verge]

I see thanks

[woeful anchor]

oh bubble too

but shes specifically for ed2

as a blocker

cuora works fine too if u already have her raised bubble is just slightly better

[cursive verge]

Bubble it is then cuz I got neither raised

[woeful anchor]

yeah thats fine if u dont got other ed2 counters

[shy solar]

i ran away, rerolled tongbao until i got og script tongbao and refresh that node

[shy solar]

I pick whoever i like based on current mood

[sly harness]

Tbf one of the easiest stages to play with any serious comp. Not that fast on the opening, generally mobs are slow and if you play d15 you always draft hit count solutions

Although the em variant with the House of Sui that buffs apparitions can be a bit silly because hit count stuff gets almost double the HP and this can kill you in weaker runs

[sly harness]

And here if your Raidian had significantly increased SP recovery and damage to quickly kill not hit count enemies, her S2 would carry most of the stage, but this squad definitely doesn't have the best matchup for it

[alpine solar]

Wtf

I thought 3 leisure nodes were guaranteed each bosky

And the one I got wasn't ling

All this effort to try to get the super run and I only get 1 leisure node this is some bs

[remote badger]

dont worry

ling's is piss rare

[sly harness]

Ling should have chances of appearing equal to 1 in 15 runs

Ig if you want to do a Ling loop you should restart f1/f2 until you find the node early in the run

Also even if you have 3 Leisure nodes all of them can be the same type of Leisure

[alpine solar]

So you aren't even guaranteed to see 3 leisures?

I saved up 300 ingots for nothing

[sly harness]

Yes you aren't just look for ling on f1 and f2 and restart if you won't find her

[hardy scaffold]

It is possible to have more than 1 leisure?

[pastel saffron]

I have had 3

[sick mason]

Yes

And most of the time you're gonna meet Nian anyway

[stray dove]

or have 2 Shus

i remember having a run with 3 Shu Desires

[faint rampart]

i remember having a run with 2 lings

[tribal pulsar]

Which non-People-Oriented squad is the next best in IS3?

[remote badger]

class squads

[sly harness]

more specifically: Cast/Spec > Snip/Med

[tribal pulsar]

That +1 Hope cost really limits your options huh

[sly harness]

and Cast/Spec is generally better then People-Oriendted

[tribal pulsar]

Is it because of the operators themselves

[stray dove]

yes

Weedy Geexu Ela

those are all great picks for IS3

[noble orbit]

do I need mastery 2 first for raidien before unlocking mastery 3?

[stray dove]

you can do m3 conditions cleared

but you need m2 cleared as well

[noble orbit]

Oh ok

[stray dove]

some do them at the same time

just telling you that you can kill 2 missions in one go

more if you can

one tip i can give you is

just do Ed3 in D10

that would skip the need to do D9 Ed3

[noble orbit]

Im drafting trag exu wisadel ines core, who else should I draft to speedrun

[pastel saffron]

wow didn't know this. I always run POS it's great

Why better btw?

[noble orbit]

you get e2 start

[noble orbit]

you can e1 start in is3?

[stray dove]

i did

[pastel saffron]

Yeah Exu and Wis E1 start works

[stray dove]

Geexu E1 is still solid

[pastel saffron]

Exu is the best

someone was coping trag but Idt trag is good for IS3 start

[sly harness]

I don't know the details but the big problem of pos is the lack of early power due to problems with promoting units to e2

[stray dove]

try it out

it's hilarious how much you can get away

with E1 Geexu

[sly harness]

e.g. f3 Wander is a huge problem with pos

I tried to play e1 start a few times in d18 IS3 and I exploded in f3 boss because I only had like 3 e1 6* every time

[noble orbit]

Def exu over wis

[sly harness]

also e1 squads will have huge problems defending the Knight in some f3 stages

[noble orbit]

defending the knight is harder than the boss

[stray dove]

my dude if your squad still has no E2 the moment you hit F3

yeah that run's most likely over

[sly harness]

that's why you play class squads with e2 start

my favorite: e2 Exu alter + Yato 2* + Terra Research Commission

[pastel saffron]

my biggest losing point with pos is actually f5 coz of so many rejections

actually even if I survive f5

anf till f6 boss I dont get genotype

cooked

[sly harness]

just draft more 1* units

[pastel saffron]

my early floor lose rate is actually non existent

[pastel saffron]

I do

but for some damn reason game wants to put rejection on my exia and lemon and not steward and kroos

[sly harness]

Do you know that you can cure multiple units at once with the help of single unit?

If you place a unit without rejection next to multiple units with rejection, it will contribute to the curing process of each of them.

[pastel saffron]

oh shit

I actually tried it with a fast redploy

but I would only cure 1

and it wouldn't cure another 1 again

damn thanks for this

would have saved me some runs

[stray dove]

you can only transfer rejections to an operator once per fight

so make sure that transfer has multiple ops with rejections for value

that's also why Yato 2* is so valuable for this

and also other 1* robots

cheap to drop and the robots don't even take deployment limit

[cloud cairn]

can cannot be THIS inconsistent

[lost anchor]

Rng buff peak

[cloud cairn]

cannot used heal

thrice

before leaving

[sly harness]

to a certain extent. But with e2 Raidian you must have done something wrong for it to look that bad (it can also be caused by picking Luo over Humus for rob)

[cloud cairn]

didnt mess anything up that hard

the heal kind of messed up the blocking of the summons

and enemies got through

[sly harness]

Well then it could be Luo's fault

[lost anchor]

Pick the goat humus

[sinful sparrow]

i dont think you're supposed to leak 13 with e2 raidian

even with the worst rng

what was your placement

[cloud cairn]

Of summons?

[sinful sparrow]

mhm

[cloud cairn]

2 left 1 right

[sinful sparrow]

it also helps not placing purestream near raidian like that

idk if you're on d15 but it's just good habit

[cloud cairn]

d13

Might as well just bring beanstalk or may

Next time

[sinful sparrow]

you can also play guard vanguard e1 raidian e1 entelechia

leaks 1

very braindead

special squad with e2 raidian and e1 entelechia also does it

[shrewd spear]

Sorry for bothering your time, did anyone know what bgm title on is#6 ending 5?

this was the only one who bothered uploading it

River's uploads have been fucking sparse on OST

[shrewd spear]

Thanks a lot

[cloud cairn]

No ente

Could borrow but

Normally I start with raidian beanstalk exu2

[sinful sparrow]

that also works

[cloud cairn]

Is it possible to rob cannot

With raidian e1

(because raidian was only e2 due to the supporter op training I bought before refresh)

[stray dove]

yes

just make sure to cycle through S1 summons enough that you're not left with multiple summons at low health and leak too much

[sly harness]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1mPgBz8Egi/?p=2

[sinful sparrow]

very much doable

i do it all the time

[cloud cairn]

Alright

Gotta practice that

[sly harness]

e1 Raidian + e1 Humus + e1 Purestream

[cloud cairn]

Thanks

[shrewd spear]

Wisadel still good ig, i got carried on fresh account

Idk is#6 feel so hard not like is#5

[sly harness]

only until you unlock e2 Raidian

[shrewd spear]

Hoo did she will carry so much on is#6?

I will try hard for leveling her because she free

[sly harness]

yes

[shrewd spear]

And the kit so interesting imo

[sly harness]

she easily solo most of this IS

even on high difficulties

[shrewd spear]

Aight noted, i'm new player soo yeah this lot of time for adapt for content like that 😅, but ngl IS content make me download the game

Its was suffering and fun on same time

I like it a lot

[gleaming jewel]

Any IS4 recommended ops/starter squads/general guides?

[remote badger]

yep

[sudden cloak]

Can anyone borrow me windscoot

[lost anchor]

what diff for max ending badges in is3

[errant siren]

There's no such feature there.

It starts from IS4 onwards.

And D12+ is correct answer.

[lost anchor]

oh dam

[grizzled nexus]

Noooo! I encountered Four Season Brush Legend Node. But don't have enough HP

[carmine token]

[devout flicker]

I haven’t had much time to play, just finished Guided Tour 4 with the Raidian squad. What’s are the next best couple of squads to do 5 and 6 to progress her mastery?

[static prism]

does this mf yi have different AI on different difficulties?

i tried the tragodia strat on the first difficulty and im getting wiped bro

[sly harness]

he has 3 random pathing variants, they are not related to the difficulty

[static prism]

ah

well the situation seems to be contained for now

[slate hull]

if you are unlucky he walks straight down instead of doing the snaking path he usually does

[static prism]

yeah he did this

i let him walk and now he's doing the circle now

[desert brook]

i thought i was just schizo

i remember him doing the snake path but the last few times i fought him he just went straight down

[grizzled nexus]

Well, that's new...

What an absoulte bro Big Bob is

[faint rampart]

😇 true

[carmine token]

big bob got tenticles now 😇

[grizzled nexus]

Bruh, I just realized that the shopkeeper of that shop is Cannot, but giving an item named Big Bob certificate

Finally, got Cohesive Might. Though sadly I still don't know the feeling of its effect cause the toss landed somewhere else and out of coupon in floor 5

[slate hull]

I assume big bob owns the store chain

uhhh assuming i can only use units which were before pepe, the strongest class would still be Spec right? or was it guards
(for Is6)

[hasty glacier]

real

[chrome tangle]

@inland elbow you should update this

Unless u r still drafting Zuo Le in the big 2026

[slate hull]

before pepe is a weirdly specific timeframe, I think exu2 is the only relevant specialist released in that time unless you want to count contrail

[sinful sparrow]

Bait is gonna kill u now

[hasty glacier]

What team should i get

[inland elbow]

I'm not the cringer who wrote it bruh

[sinful sparrow]

@halcyon flame

[cloud cairn]

Normally at F1 what's the best option

[sinful sparrow]

coupons

genuinely it's always coupon

[halcyon flame]

i will in the future

just not now probly

i wanna get back to relicless later but im buried in school rn

[chrome tangle]

False

You love Triple Alt hunting

[sinful sparrow]

oh

hope u survive

🙏

[sinful sparrow]

do you like caramelized onions

[chrome tangle]

Yessir

I will gladly stand by a pot with 4 fat white onions to see it reduced down to jam that is only spreadable on one piece of toast in 2hrs

[sinful sparrow]

:YA:

[chrome tangle]

Mika dont u make 5 million canadian dollars

Where is ur nitor

[sinful sparrow]

not worth it

👍

thats u

ur the fatas

[faint rampart]

wait exu2?

[stray dove]

Exu2/Geexu/Exu Alter

[slate hull]

discord nitro do be kind of a scam unless you really need the animated emotes or the big file uploads

[stray dove]

who needs animated emotes when GIFs are free

https://chumley.barstoolsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/05/death-dive2018-2.gif

[slate hull]

I maybe phrased that weird I meant released since pepe

[faint rampart]

oh oka

[slate hull]

so yeah, it is guards without ente and leizi vs specialists without exu2

honorable mentions go to windscoot and contrail

[faint rampart]

i see
ulpi(very cope(????))
Zuole
mylnar
degen(?)

[chrome tangle]

Zuo Le sounds awful

[faint rampart]

just have to try them i guess
not sure whether degen would be useful

[chrome tangle]

What does bro do against furniture

Stun them?

[faint rampart]

prolly nothing, but need dps for foot and i think he should work(???) ||by contributing some sht, s3 has a long range too||

[slate hull]

degen apparently has some kind of tech where the foot cannot kill her during the s3 animation

[chrome tangle]

@sinful sparrow

[sinful sparrow]

huh

[faint rampart]

[sinful sparrow]

no idea i dont draft degen

probably works

[slate hull]

I have not actually seen how it works, I am assuming the initial stomp always kills, but you can helidrop her afterwards and she will tank the stomp attacks if you time it right

[stray dove]

i just assumed

that the foot is an insta-retreat/tile ban

[gaunt bay]

s3 iframes last longer than stomp duration

thats what i remember

[stray dove]

so the foot actually don't take the space of the tiles to be targetable if thats the case.

i guess it would actually take more coding to do such an interaction

so they might be shortcutting

[faint rampart]

hopefully her dmg is worth it unless shes just gonna survive>tickle the foot

[stray dove]

thats the issue though. Is it worth bringing her just for that?

[gaunt bay]

its kinda unserious she has like no damage output

bruh

just take mly like a normal person

[stray dove]

it's nice to know the interaction exists

at least

maybe this is just the beginning and someone finds other interactions of the same thing

[cloud cairn]

What's the condition on Nian leisure where she no longer wants to gamble

[stray dove]

but on worthwhile ops

[stray dove]

just RNG ngl

[slate hull]

yeah, he could probably do way more damage, the only thing that screws him over in is6 are the talismans, but on the boss stage there aren't a lot of those

[stray dove]

there's no "pity" either

I've gotten long sessions with Nian

[cloud cairn]

[stray dove]

without her getting pissed off on a complete sweep

[faint rampart]

well if the pre pepe guards were strong enough, i would start with guard-vguard squad....

if not then uhh just mlynar with some other squad

[gaunt bay]

pre pep was post wis

i think speccas is best bet regardless

[gaunt bay]

the unironic degen angle is to play her on s2 with cheeto core

but ive never tried

[sinful sparrow]

she is so cute

all these stickers are so cute too

[slate hull]

on a low difficulty run I stacked a lot of offensive recovery relics and then got degen to watch s1 go off on every hit

that was fun, but I never used her once since then

[faint rampart]

oh yea the 2 sp on every atk

[halcyon flame]

degen cheeto comp

[remote badger]

endfield-

[gaunt bay]

offensive recovery like endfield ril

[cloud cairn]

Oh she gives up here

alright

[faint rampart]

wtf so many ingots and coupons

[gaunt bay]

[faint rampart]

oh forgot

[floral mist]

Stupid RNG

[static prism]

are the wooden line of enemies just dps checks when they spawn their paperweight things

even with like bloodshed spill i almost got wiped bc i couldnt block the damn things

[faint rampart]

wooden line? the hit count enemies?

[static prism]

nah the mfs that spawn a flying thing upon dying

[faint rampart]

wha

these?

[static prism]

yes those oml

oh wait

are those hitcount dependent

im looking at the wiki

[faint rampart]

the floating thingies which spawn after you kill the enemies?psure yes

[static prism]

that would explain so much holy

awful awful creatures

[faint rampart]

[static prism]

i thought they were just

tanky beyond belief

[faint rampart]

now you know

[arctic panther]

i dont think i’ve ever gotten a f6 pathfinder after my first ed3 run

[waxen marten]

In this situation, enter bosky or use index for battles?

[lusty mesa]

does this only apply to the first operator

[gaunt bay]

wtf is4 in the big 26

[waxen marten]

This is the only IS i didn't fully level yet so yeah...

[lusty mesa]

*first leftmost operator

nvm probably too good to be true

[misty bison]

Any guides for is2 to 4? The pinned guides are only for is5 and is6

[remote badger]

fuck around and find out

[inland elbow]

I'd enter bosky

Also don't spend index on f1

[waxen marten]

What floor to use it best?

[inland elbow]

F3 is pretty ideal

Using it to enter boskies is good

In general, spend it to go into high values nodes like boskies and combats

[misty bison]

I did and I'm tired boss

[remote badger]

keep doing it damnit

[waxen marten]

I see I see many thanks

[remote badger]

u have to learn the mechanics

[inland elbow]

Spending index on f1 is bad because you have no guaranteed source of it

[remote badger]

its not supposed to take that short

[inland elbow]

So if you waste it early, you'll have way less information to work with on later floors

And way less options

[misty bison]

Tired of is3

[remote badger]

that one is explainable

[inland elbow]

What sort of guide do you want

Previous IS's aren't like is5

[misty bison]

Just a good starting team
I used the recommend starting squad in the is6 guide and it worked out pretty well

[inland elbow]

Where you just do the same thing over and over

[misty bison]

Feels like I'm fumbling around in the older is tho

[inland elbow]

Ah

People or specialist/caster

Start Exusiai alter

Kroos, fang if it's people

Reserve sniper, yato if it's speccast

Wisadel, Trag, Angelina, Ela, Yato Alter, Mylnar, Kaltsit are all very strong picks

Is3 isn't that hard if you're not chasing endings

[remote badger]

remember when ur doing wis e1 start in is3 its guaranteed to -2 or -1 on mutual aid

[misty bison]

✍️

[inland elbow]

Main thing to keep in mind is to always draft bodies to help lower the chance of rejections landing on important operators

[remote badger]

(likely to leak)

[inland elbow]

Aside from that, just pick the path with the most combats

[waxen marten]

for some reason when I do that, I don't leak

[inland elbow]

And it should be chill I think

Steward is enough at lower difficulties to kill the flying guys in mutual aid yeah

[misty bison]

Yeah my current strategy is just try to e2 Wisadel as soon as possible but it doesn't always work out since there's RNG
I'll try some of the other operators as starters

[inland elbow]

Gotta learn to play with the vouchers you get

[waxen marten]

i do this in d18, as long as I put someone like cardigan after that huge dude, then pray for steward

[inland elbow]

But yeah exu alt is way stronger as a starter than wis

[misty bison]

If only I had her I'll just borrow support

Thanks for the help

[copper orchid]

Whats the best squad for is2

[winter belfry]

castspec maybe

[stray dove]

I'm still doing it. But for all the wrong reasons.

btw guys

last time I asked Cube he wasn't sure of the answer but

how's Pralter on non-IS6 ISs?

[carmine token]

cecity hunt 🗣️

[stray dove]

to be more specific

lvl2 Cecity hunt

[sinful sparrow]

🚬

[carmine token]

[compact gorge]

Should be good where art dmg is still viable

[stray dove]

no i know that's the case if we treat Pralter like the arts version of Geexu

but there's always potential outliers I'd like to know

[compact gorge]

Geexu?

[stray dove]

Geek + Exu

[compact gorge]

Ha

[bright otter]

you could just say exia/exu, no one is using the sniper

[copper orchid]

Who do u start, exualt?

[stray dove]

what else

that's the very reason that dual class is first picked

[copper orchid]

Ahh oka

[stray dove]

other than Weedy's value in IS3

[copper orchid]

does sniper start works for is2

Wondering cheeto usage

[stray dove]

nope. Cause I'd rather not ever use the term OG Exu whenever it comes up in rare situations

[quick pond]

I have just beaten all 39 current endings in IS6 on Ending 12

[stray dove]

nice

[copper orchid]

I need my is6 dlc1

[quick pond]

The Butterfly QoL would"ve been appriciated 😭

[grizzled nexus]

Finally! Finally Four Season Brush!

[floral mist]

Same

[copper orchid]

Need my braindead 10k hp run

[quick pond]

How do you get 4 Corner Paint and 3 Legged Fowl?

[stray dove]

four corner paint = the pot event you sacrifice LP on.....but in Sui Realm/WiW/Bosky

3 Legged Fowl = Get Liu'er's Wooden Lump -> Go to a Legend Node with the large Amber event

so....try to preserve those Legend nodes cause Amber event tends to be Legends near the start

[quick pond]

Man that sounds tough😥

How rare is Uninvited Guest Legend and Jie Hour?

[faint rampart]

tried jumping in max risk cc first time
i guess i should just stick to IS hell

[pastel saffron]

without raidian at d15, voucher conservation limit is 3?

[sinful sparrow]

yea

[pastel saffron]

I just had a run where 3 doubt nodes have the condition that have 1 life point for greater reward

peak

[sly harness]

I mainly played Archetto start in IS2 d15 and it works fine

[copper orchid]

What do u draft, other than mon3tr and cheeto

[sly harness]

For the synergy you can also pick Degen for S2 (and ofc 3*, Kroos and Steward). But when it comes to endings: Narantuya S2 for ed2 and Angelina S1 for ed4.

[pastel saffron]

is this encounter usually worth it?

[sly harness]

It should give you back most of the used LP in the form of Shields + something extra

[pastel saffron]

I see, Thankyou

[sinful sparrow]

she's cooking

[pastel saffron]

I just realized the reserve caster in ed3 is immortal if it respawns

it was actually doing decent dmg too

1209 to the wang ball

[sinful sparrow]

105 relics but i am playing small egg

🥀

first ed5 run

[faint rampart]

ros just has to summon the pillar at right place and we win frfr

[faint rampart]

good luck
luck valid until 4 hours

[sinful sparrow]

im taking a break

been playing too much IS today

@halcyon flame @nocturne cape @cold fjord also i think in the fated encounter option, you take the 6 ingots one

cuz it gave you
12 ingots, 2 relics, 6 LP and like 6 hope
