dude i drafted her at f1 instead of mizuki

#

fun run

#

rather rich run, i had like 15 hope at one point

open finch
#

My brother in Christ if Irene module levitate was 4 or 5s and retreating gave dp

#

d18 quilon was possible, at least map 1

#

But no can't have fucking fun

#

Has to be 3s and retreating is no dp

gaunt bay
#

😂

#

going for d18 quilon is crazy work

proven dagger
#

i kept getting defender and supporter tickets so i was trashing tix like crazy

open finch
#

It was gonna be glorious

proven dagger
#

what would irene even do there

#

i haven't really done ed4

open finch
#

Irene + goons tragodia + goons chalter alter

#

I'm so sad

proven dagger
#

where does she go bro

open finch
#

If her module levitate was 4 or 5s then you can go for perma cc with frds

#

The concern was Irene doesn't do much damage so we're gonna exceed target cap cuz 128+ enemies are gonna pile up

#

We were concerned for nothing!

What are Sakiko's skills worth mastery in IS6?

severe oasis
#

3

stray dove
#

S3

quick pond
#

I'm working on S3 but I hear S2 is good for challenge content

severe oasis
#

no its good for unchallenge content

stray dove
#

haven't ever seen Sakiko in any challenge content

quick pond
#

Ok thanks👍

stray dove
#

at least not the biggest ones that matter

severe oasis
#

and also theres not really any reason to ever use s2 over s3

#

its just if you're lazy

stray dove
#

not even...

severe oasis
#

which wont fly in IS

stray dove
#

if you want a really good Sakiko AFK Mujica squad

#

S1

#

thats the real AFK skill for Sakiko

severe oasis
#

i think s2 is overall better for laneholding no? s1 can just do actual dmg if needed

stray dove
#

S2 is for fever fueling

severe oasis
#

piercing notes is pretty nice

stray dove
#

constant changing of stances

gaunt lichen
severe oasis
#

anyway no reason to discuss mid vs ass just use s3 and win!

hard crescent
#

does this also promote the operator?

stray dove
#

yes

#

think of that like scouting

#

except -1 LP to add a candle to the scout

gaunt bay
#

just use s3 and lose cuz saiki cycles suck

stray dove
#

so much damage

I haven't seen much content with Sakiko, but she sounds really good in IS

does sakiko or leizi have higher pick prio in is5/is6?

severe oasis
#

saki in is5, leizi in is6

tender tide
#

any recommendation for 5* in is6?

stray dove
#

not really

#

pre-SAlter, Surfer's a good pick

#

Rose Salt for Ed2

woeful anchor
#

aside from that agents and flags for dp

chrome tangle
#

does Leizi do anything in IS4

tender tide
#

i find wang's go annoying the most ReedBean

#

rose salt's s2 is the only unique for now?

chrome tangle

there are not really many options

unless u are limiting yourself away from 6* DPS's

hi birb

I heard sakiko is 10/10 from my goat bait

#

Is this true

boreal island
#

how good is wang in IS6

cold fjord
#

almost broken

#

however
keyword is almost

#

all he needs is a bug fix to be top 1/2 spec draft

#

atm, decent but not good enough

sinful sparrow
#

he just needs the sourced damage fixed

#

then he’s goated

stray dove
#

for me vise versa

#

i want that fucking sourced damage

sinful sparrow
#

no you dont

#

please stfu

#

burn slop player

cold fjord
#

you dont

gaunt bay
#

its so funny actually

low vortex
stray dove
#

2 gameplay versions of me are fighting for sourced or unsourced Wang

#

and i don't care who wins

gaunt bay
#

i willed the damage source into existence

stray dove
#

One of my gameplays will win either way

cold fjord
tribal furnace
#

Was on break due to burn out (5 events is a bit too much) and Endfield

stray dove
#

Either Wang becomes broken in Ed5 or becomes broken in burn.

#

i know you guys want the former

sinful sparrow
#

one is relevant
the other genuinely noone gives a fuck

#

🚬

stray dove
#

lets see if HG gives a fuck though

#

cause right now

#

if they do nothing, that's a loss for IS

sinful sparrow
#

yep

stray dove
#

btw how long does HG usually fix unintended interactions?

#

or bugs

#

there's got to be a time when we just assume that it's intended by HG since it's been long enough

cold fjord
#

depends on what it is

#

they can hotfix in a few days or a few hours

#

or never

stray dove
#

waiting for a week is too long by that point?

nocturne cape
cold fjord
#

not exactly

stray dove
#

regarding such interactions, we never get news from HG anyways

#

and they just stealth fix shit

cold fjord
#

there has been a bunch of things that took more than 1 week to fix

#

actually they do

stray dove
#

but not always, right?

cold fjord
#

it's in patchnotes

nocturne cape
#

Alright just did my final pre dlc run

cold fjord
#

except no one translates them to EN

stray dove
cold fjord
#

so you never hear about it

nocturne cape
#

Now we can ignore IS6 for a bit

boreal island
cold fjord
#

yes

#

the initial mines he spawns are unsourced damage

stray dove
cold fjord
#

the ones you place manually are sourced

stray dove
#

or patch notes

cold fjord
#

so he dies

stray dove
#

cause right now we have no confirmation

nocturne cape
#

Even if it is sourced im not surprised

#

Because it makes sense

boreal island
nocturne cape
#

So whatever

#

Wang’s a fraud for IS6

#

So what

cold fjord
#

he shouldn't be

#

thats what

woeful anchor
#

ugly op not relevant 👍 good ending

cold fjord
#

6 month of slop ops

lmao

#

wait

you got her, right?

i was thinking if it was a calculated move in your part

#

to wait for the 2nd x10 permit

remote badger
stray dove
#

and then hit guaranteed

#

in 120

remote badger
#

at least i offrated ente

stray dove
#

i still don't have her

#

my spooks were all dupes

#

2 were good. 1 was direct to gold certs

remote badger
#

what a nice double edged sword

pure oyster
#

Is king’s armor going to kill me if I only have 1 life point?

stray dove
#

no relic can kill you outside a fight

#

no non-battle option can kill you either in nodes

pure oyster
#

It says it subtracts 1 life point after each battle

stray dove
#

cause they'd just disable any sacc life if you're at 1

pure oyster
#

Ah

#

I was like uhhh cause I got all the kings things because I was at life point 1 and then I was looking at them and I’m like oops was that a trap AmiyaDonk

#

I’m starting to see why people enjoy is though

stray dove
#

it's still a shaky thing to use King relics pre-IS5

#

cause lowering LP without killing your shield is not easy

#

especially when you get max HP increases in 2 separate level ups

#

which ruins a 1 LP setup unless you can lower it to 1 easily

pure oyster
#

I was already at 1 LP

stray dove
#

what command lvl are you right now?

pure oyster
#

Level 5?

stray dove
#

press what you get from leveling up to 6

#

you'll realize something

pure oyster
stray dove
#

click that big 5

#

or that up arrow

pure oyster
#

I see

stray dove
#

youre in IS5

#

lowering LP to 1 is easy

#

hell, lowering LP in IS6 is also easy. But you need to exert more resources in keeping it 1 LP (Ji Shop purchases and revisits)

#

i guess that's why hand relics returned in IS6 but they still didn't include King relics?

errant siren
#

It doesn't matter, there's no Kings in IS6

stray dove
#

yeah absolutely

#

makes sense

#

it's way too easy to get 1 LP

pure oyster
#

This feels broken but I also feel like I’ll probably lose soon lol

stray dove
#

as for King relics in IS2....yeah no such things as shields. Only Temp HP

wary zodiac
#

With archetto

Which sakiko skill better s1 or s3

stray dove
#

so IS2 King runs are always a knife's edge

pure oyster
#

I’ve never beaten IS

stray dove
#

One tip

#

Get Lamp instead of Talons

#

learn how to use Lamp

#

it's IS5's biggest cheat code for easy wins

#

to the point that people hate it

pure oyster
#

Oh ok I’ll look into it

stray dove
#

do it in your next run

#

yeah

pallid crest

agents(canta/surfer)

pastel saffron

Rose Salt but she's more of a specific pick for hard diff ed2 (IS6)

already raised amiya and agents. i know grey used to be good

greyy is good if you have the aspd

pastel saffron
#

If rumble returned would it be ros/wis meta again?

remote badger
#

no

pastel saffron
#

U cant guarantee

#

but rhey were telling me about people getting 150 relic runs

#

or so

stray dove
pastel saffron
#

theres pretty high chance

stray dove
#

no one wants another triple flinger

remote badger
#

however talisman

pallid crest
#

idm niche picks like rose salt

stray dove
#

when you ask for 5* picks

#

you go to niches by that point

#

outside of Amiya and Surfer

remote badger
#

or 2 idk

pastel saffron
stray dove
#

not as much though? she does have built in aftershocks

#

but yeah she ain't killing talismans as good as a Wis S2

pastel saffron
#

have hands affected IS6 meta btw

#

or its more or less the same

flint token
#

more or less the same really

stray dove
#

i think the biggest change is the easier way to get to high relic count in Exp2?

#

that ain't Ling looping?

pure oyster
#

If I use a thought and the next node is an encounter am I wasting it?

#

Oh I guess it doesn’t matter if I am fractured because I’m already at 1 LP

flint token
stray dove
#

FO wastes it, doesn't it?

pure oyster
#

Does upgrading an operator that’s only E1 do anything?

flint token
#

No

stray dove
#

it's been a fuckign while

#

since i've ever had an E1 operator that can be E2'd but I didn't yet

#

i almost forgot that was possible

pure oyster
#

What?

flint token
#

professional whaler or something

stray dove
#

nah

flint token
#

or just plain rich

stray dove
#

plain grind

#

more like it

flint token
#

yeah rich from grinding

pure oyster
#

I have so so so many operators that are E1

flint token
#

i should e2 my goobers actually

remote badger
flint token
#

was too lazy to raise them before

#

like my lappalt isnt even e2

remote badger
#

as long as it is e1 max

stray dove
#

what i mean is, if I'm raising someone, they're going to E2 40.
No more halfassery from me

flint token
#

Despite being e1 max for like

#

since her release

#

i just never took her ass to any stage

pure oyster
#

It’s a mess

stray dove
#

since my goal was to raise everyone (it's still a bit far away)

pure oyster
#

What’s this portal I can summon with witchcraft

stray dove
#

i've been cleaning up messes

#

that meant

#

anyone that can be E2'd that was halfassed E1

#

have gotten to E2 40 now

#

all get at least SL7

#

new ops immediately get SL4 so I don't have to count white books demand

remote badger
#

its basically portable scout node

stray dove
#

last enemy spawns a portal

#

kill it

#

your last deployed unit gets scouted

remote badger
#

but only takes the last deployed ops

stray dove
#

but you have to kill it

pure oyster
#

This is very confusing. They get scouted?

remote badger
#

stuffs like ulp s3 and m3 s3 also counts as a deploy

pure oyster
#

What does scouted mean

#

It’s ok I can look it up

remote badger
#

kidnapped and unusable for that floor where that op was kidnapped

#

but instantly gets e2 and some rewards after that floor

pure oyster
#

Oh that sounds bad for me

remote badger
pure oyster
#

They get e2 even if I haven’t leveled them that far in the base game?

remote badger
#

incase not a second voucher spawns for u to e2

stray dove
#

the only time it feels like shit to scout

#

is in F3

#

and there's no bosky to enter

pure oyster
#

I have encountered emergency lecture

remote badger
#

with wis s3

pure oyster
#

I will try

#

I don’t have wis

#

I do have exu2 and tragodia though

#

And pudding

remote badger
#

but please dont tell me u take anasa karma

remote badger
#

jugging him around

pure oyster
#

Is this the boss of IS5 or just this floor

remote badger
#

emer lecture has -50% redeployment timer

frosty hawk
#

I'm on IS6 ascension 10, what operator trivializes Enlightenment floor 3 boss DocSmile

remote badger
#

if u doesn't have anasa's karma

pure oyster
#

I used a thought that reduces dp cost by 2. This should be pretty helpful in this

frosty hawk
#

this has been more of a run killer than any ending boss

You can greed the one on the right with gvg if you draft some melee body. Deploy Ente + Roberta, activate Ente S2 and place the melee body on the chest with Roberta device on them

#

It can be not worth it if Leizi gets the Talisman when her skill is ending but other than that it shouldn't be hard to get

Where will those invisible fisherman enter?

Her s3 range is enough to stop anything or enough dps to kill 2 or 3 lanes or also popping boss phase 1s. Aspd buffs and archetto recharges her s3 much faster and her bandmates could help charging fever

what is that squad

please don't shame it it's all I got

ouch

you could've just not robbed Cannot

sometimes a Cannot fight is harder than the boss itself

My main team is full e1 though

On my first attempt I managed to use Logos successfully (but I had +100% elemental damage and SP battery for Mizuki)

#

I sincerely believe in Logos but I don't think his limits are great

ineed to highroll to make it work :waaa:

nova cedar
#

is5 is actually next level disgusting

#

especially the stage with the enemies that spawn those ink things when they die

#

need 20 hits to kill etc

#

and the stage with the nerverous impairment screaming plants

#

with the grass blocks that reduce ur operator vision to 0

gaunt bay
#

Are you talking about is6?

nova cedar
#

and 6 operator eating flowers rotating in the middle

#

yea

#

1s6 mb

#

its actually pissing me tf off

#

they also lock radian e2 behind clearing is6

#

difficulty level 2 as well

faint rampart
gaunt bay
#

But like

#

Low diff is very trivial

#

Read the guides ya

#

But in game guides should suffice for early difficulties

#

You should be clearing them without issue as long as you have a strong grasp of the fundamentals of arknights

nova cedar
#

i just get forced into one of two insta lose stages

faint rampart
#

what ops are you starting with

sly harness
#

strong grasp of the fundamentals of arknights
these are quite high requirements SkadiDaijoubu

nova cedar
#

the ink enemy stage where ur forced to have a full aoe operator or dot type, or the screaming plants one where ur ops get vision blocked by the grass and either u have eyja alter or a specialist to nuke them

#

archetto start

faint rampart
#

wtfrick Archetto

steel relic
#

The screaming plants is an encounter battle

#

You can just not do it

faint rampart
nova cedar
#

no

#

the one with 4 barrier blocks in the middle

faint rampart
#

F4 one?

steel relic
#

Exemplary service

faint rampart
#

uhhh exemplary

earnest shuttle
#

the one with 6 area and icecream truck ?

#

oh wait no

nova cedar
#

the ink enemy things that spawn those things when they die

earnest shuttle
#

I remember now

nova cedar
#

that needs like 20 hits to kill

#

hits not dmg

#

those shits

floral mist
#

Exemplary service

nova cedar
#

i dont have aoe or dot its insta lose every time

sly harness
earnest shuttle
#

you dont have ethan ?

nova cedar
#

ddint start withj him

faint rampart
#

trag?

nova cedar
#

...

#

see the problem im forced to have specific operator or type for some random stage

sly harness
nova cedar
#

else its insta lose

#

spend 20 mins just to get forced into a insta lose stage

#

fkn annoying

sly harness
#

that's how IS works, you die because of a draft gap and from now on you know what to watch out for and try not to repeat it

nova cedar
#

its not a draft gap but rather flawed game design

#

why is there a stage where i need to draft a specific op just to be able to clear it

sly harness
#

nah this is is hevily build around hit count

#

so you shoud draft some solutions for that

nova cedar
#

unit positoning etc all doesnt matter if u dont draft specifically for that one stage ur done

sly harness
#

every IS has thinks like this

earnest shuttle
#

actually low diff can clear the stage you just said with raidian s3

#

higher diff needs stronger ops is obvious

sly harness
nova cedar
#

its a strategy game not either have this or you lose

#

and its not like diff 20

#

its fucking

#

difficulty 2

#

2

#

2

#

2

sly harness
#

since IS2 we know that we need to draft to counter some stages

nova cedar
#

every IS ive played i have not had this issue

faint rampart
#

😵‍💫

nova cedar
#

unit positionig etc solves the issue

sly harness
#

in IS2 we had healing/block/range checks

nova cedar
#

only this shitty is6 has this cringe ass stage

sly harness
#

now we have hit count checks

faint rampart
#

idk if blud wants help or just wanna complain

steel relic
#

Gotta ask yourself this about like half the people in the server

nova cedar
#

iks there like some strategy or some shit

steel relic
#

Draft choices are a part of strategy

nova cedar
#

its not draft choise its have this or lose

woeful anchor
#

which stage is the block check

#

pinball?

steel relic
#

Unending?

#

I guess

#

Kinda

woeful anchor
#

ye pinball

nova cedar
#

the one with a wall acoss the middle with 4 destroyable roadblocks

woeful anchor
#

pinball is a funnier name

#

i think it was only cirno that calls it pinball tho

#

🥀

#

i miss cirno

nova cedar
#

the other stage is worse

earnest shuttle
#

2*

nova cedar
#

Nerverous impairment + Vision block + 6 operator eating plants that rotate around the only non vision blocked tiles

faint rampart
nova cedar
#

either tank 8 lifepoints or have a nuke operator to clean up the eating plants

sly harness
nova cedar
#

nuke as in kirin yato type nuker

woeful anchor
#

damn i have not heard yato being called a nuke in ages

sly harness
#

you need specific things for this (e.g. Raidian)

nova cedar
#

yea lock radian e2 behind fucking difficulty two for what

#

i cleared difficulty 1 after like 20 attempts

#

but find out i have to do it again

#

for e2

#

i got sakikos best collectable but the run got fucked over by the shitty plants

faint rampart
earnest shuttle
#

every IS is like that TexasDumb
you clear low diff to unlock higher diff
lose your run to learn from your mistake, pick your fight

sly harness
#

It's a bit of a strange design how much this IS is centered around Raidan. With Raidian, it's pretty easy, so d0-d2 can be harder than d3-d10, for example.

woeful anchor
#

🗣️

sly harness
#

just use a real strong carry to go past first difficulties Wis/Exu/Trag

nova cedar
#

nice i put down steward to block the projectile but it goes through him

#

and kills my archetto

faint rampart
#

😵‍💫

woeful anchor
#

erm if ur drafting bad units and losing thats on u

nova cedar
#

apparently if the projectile leaves the crossbow it ignores any operator deployed after

#

even if its blocking

sly harness
#

this stage wants you to place evertyhing on the boss and just nuke him

earnest shuttle
#

now you know yeah

sly harness
#

also why steward, 4* are free

faint rampart
#

its not archetto aspd oonga boonga meta, if you're playing niche then deal with it

earnest shuttle
#

Maybe they havent raised click

nova cedar
#

offensive recoery

sly harness
#

any nerd knows the number? steward with Archetto vs Click

#

also Click is better agains hit count

#

with his/her (CeobeConfused ) dron thingi

steel relic
#

Fym ‘his’

grizzled nexus
#

Pudding is not too bad for hitcount, though only if there is at least 2 enemies so it can bounce

sly harness
#

the DP cost SkadiDaijoubu

faint rampart
steel relic
#

I think Pudding is still worse than Click until like 4 enemies

#

Cuz chain casters attack slow as balls

#

And can’t bounce back to already hit targets except during Pudding s2

nova cedar
#

nice now the recruitment stage not spawn

#

im sitting on 50 ingots 10 hope and 4 maxed vouchers

earnest shuttle
#

pathfinder ?

nova cedar
#

and forced into emgerency ops

sly harness
#

Indigo has bleed on S2... but her bind is not reliable on e1 (but maybe with Ethan)

grizzled nexus
#

Yeah, Ethan S1 is always a go to for hit count

#

Or Wis S2

sly harness
#

tbf Ethan is mediocre (only 1 hit per second). just pick Ascalon or Yan 4*

nova cedar
#

jujst pick ascalon btw

#

in floor 2

sly harness
#

f4 is a problem not f2

#

and you can pick her f2, only 4 Hope in Pathfinder and you get that for level up

steel relic
#

Isn’t Ascalon also only 1 hit/s

tranquil lintel
#

i got pepe, stainless, horn, eyjafialla, suruzan, exusai, Gladia and Blaze alter, who should i priortize investing for IS?

steel relic
#

Exu regular or alter?

#

If regular then none of them are particularly good anywhere in IS

sly harness
# steel relic Isn’t Ascalon also only 1 hit/s

To be honest I'm not sure but she has a movement speed reduction, a real attack and a DoT that lasts for 25 seconds so even if something leaves her attack range it will most likely be finished off anyway

#

and her DoT stacks but I'm not sure about the details

steel relic
#

I’m pretty sure it’s just the damage that builds up

#

Thorns delta does the same thing

faint rampart
#

glad to know archetto players atleast dont use kirara

wraith warren

Is there a list of IS mods only

Maybe

remote badger
#

u know what it is

nocturne cape
#

Deploy your exu first so she wont be targeted

#

And put shu on the other side

#

Exu can live with shield + self heal

dreamy rampart
#

what side

nocturne cape
#

Normally i put her top but maybe put her bottom because thats where the first batch of enemies will spawn

dreamy rampart
#

How does the boss targeting work

nocturne cape
#

So she can start healing earlier

#

Last deployed

#

The usuals

pastel saffron
#

shu can heal 2 range units

#

exia can heal herself

#

even if someone is about ro die

#

turn on hoshi red mode

#

she wont let allies die

dreamy rampart
#

without medics is hard

#

dot relic and -sp, shu couldn't even heal fast

#

i have too many recruitment vouchers after floor 5 i was kinda hoping for a pathfinder node at floor 6 but there's nothing

guys just got some Times to do IS5 why it's harder than is 6 and the rest before 5? what starter squad should i use? also any tips to defeat theresis? even with logos i barely kill him

steel relic
#

Is5 is comically easy once you learn how lamp of wishes works
Theresis gains massive damage resistance based on how close he is to Theresa + casters are kinda bad

sly harness
#

IS5 is the easiest and most chesseable if you know what you're doing

long bane

still had now idea what those paper like relic do is(that paper with class icon in it)

sly harness

for Theresis p2 draft some True Damage, Kal, Mon3tr, Amiya Caster

@nocturne cape

Yeah?

We know this since day 1 of dlc2

#

Theyre nerfed too i think

#

Theres also sarkaz king and hands

#

But they wont appear in the regular relic pool

sinful sparrow
#

thats pretty weird

#

idk what triggers them to spawn

sly harness
#

just one of those "themed" shops

#

but ed4 and the other collectible and overwrites it

sinful sparrow
#

@nocturne cape oh yeah, wdyt of 3 combats on F1

after getting fucked by voucher rng runs after runs, i think im advocating for it

#

just so you can get f2 bosky going

nocturne cape
#

Only on tourist

sinful sparrow
#

(i was playing tianshi)

nocturne cape
#

Then no

#

Youre wasting bosky into scout on F2

#

F2 bosky is not the only way to play the game

sinful sparrow
#

i am fairly interested how people navigate a shit f2 bosky (no e2 raidian)

#

since you're probably gonna waste your steps right

#

or do you just

#

save

Save

sinful sparrow

of course it is

yeah thats fair

I was reading some docs but I found kinda hard to follow almost every single meta draft mentioned so far... didnt found in the docs so ill ask here, is there a budget "meta" draft for every IS that used 1 borrow? and by draft I mean something more elaborated than just say something like "just wisadel it", even tho walter is the optimal borrow I kinda want to know how to route, which collectibles to aim for, the initial squad buff to select, etc...

whats sakiko skill prio?

raw cypress

I would suggest suffer and learn

sinful sparrow
raw cypress
#

But that would be cruel when you ask it so nicely

sinful sparrow
#

it's too vague to actually give any meaningful advice

#

first off, waht theme

#

sui, sarkaz, sami, mizuki or phantom

dry moss
#

hmm idk wdym tbh, but every theme, I want to start clearing every IS available (I didnt really touched it much so far)

raw cypress
#

So a general one

dry moss
#

yea most likely, but the pool of collectibles, routing, mechanics will differ for each one ig

#

also probably the borrow

sinful sparrow
#

i'll send you an invite

#

there's a general IS guide, and then for each theme just ask around

sly harness
dry moss
#

but what bothered me from these docs so far are mainly the meta drafts, because I cant really follow any 100%... they all ask limited units so not replicable unless u started playing long time ago

dry moss
sly harness
#

when it comes to low difficulties and first endings usually Wisadel/Exu2 are the picks that can solo carry you

sinful sparrow
#

she's so ridiculously strong

#

the very rule of thumb for IS is
prioritize combats over other types of nodes unless you have a very good reason to not take them

dry moss
#

oh nvm, ig ur explaining this part

sly harness

This should mostly cover the basic concepts when it comes to IS
