is-station

[prime mountain]

Yeah and gnosis mod gives dot based on gnosis attack to anyone affected by cold

[stray dove]

yeah that is an absurd combo

it's hilarious though

that those enemies

just changed their pathing

the moment they're no longer in trucks

[prime mountain]

Stage is like that, the trucks go to other side but the enemies inside go to that box

[stray dove]

so ireckon trucks stalled their pathing?

ah

so it's like a stronger version

of the taxi stage in F4?

or was it F5?

the one with flowers and burn dogs

[prime mountain]

Way harder bro

[stray dove]

i'm aware

i see so many sharpedges

and the fat furniture dudes

[copper orchid]

Its fine just play the whatever flower tongbao squad

And leak all

[stray dove]

like the point of flower and burn dogs is

the taxi will make them be near the main defense line and wreak havoc in it

while that map

it's all about leaking everyone

[prime mountain]

No its the opposite, you use the trucks to carry the sharpedges to the other side to give you more time

[copper orchid]

Ye

[stray dove]

no thats what i meant. Taxis are the saviors

it's hilarious

but great cocnept

[prime mountain]

Me when well designed mechanics that serve dual purpose!

[stray dove]

i mean

[copper orchid]

And then u forget and kills the truck infront of the blue box

[stray dove]

wasn't that the case in Duck Lord F6 stage in IS5?

[copper orchid]

[stray dove]

you block one path

and that enemy lineup goes to hole

[prime mountain]

And the f2 duck fight!

[stray dove]

that taxi was an enemy though

F6 duck IS5 taxi was ally

although when you're strong enough

just don't block any of the pathways

and kill everything

[prime mountain]

Damn li'uer didnt know you were chill like that, 15 ingots for this

[stray dove]

which encounter? Lump? Ed2?

wait

the one where she talks to statues?

[prime mountain]

idk what it do its just 15 ingots for 3 relics on f1

[stray dove]

yeah

talk to statues

[sly harness]

Went as bad as expected

[stray dove]

this one

[prime mountain]

yeah that one

[sly harness]

I guess I will let Marco do the job and farm some Ingots in IS4... I want to play something easier, IS3 is too stressful

[prime mountain]

Lukas do you happen to know what the cheeto comp starter setup is in is6

[stray dove]

but IS3 is easier in D0

wait does IS3 reflect difficulty in bot left?

[prime mountain]

no

[sly harness]

The only difficulty I know is max difficulty

[stray dove]

no wonder

wait they did a D18 update

but didn't update UI clarity

[prime mountain]

Yep

[stray dove]

yeah i doubt they would

[prime mountain]

The only other thing they added was like

[stray dove]

it's updating artwork

[prime mountain]

rat miniboss

[sly harness]

No idea

[prime mountain]

[copper orchid]

Why we playing sniper med in is6

[prime mountain]

Cheeto comp isnt sniper med though

Its either gvg or tourist(?)

[sly harness]

Maybe archetto but then you will need to skip f2 Bosky and shop rob... Doesn't sound like a good idea pre dlc

[prime mountain]

I was thinking there might be some cheeto gvg and then you grab degen or something from shop but that also sounds crazy

[copper orchid]

why are we playing cheeto in gvg

[prime mountain]

Cause you run degen and sakiko with her?

[copper orchid]

True

Just felt like running snipermed sounds better with that

[prime mountain]

It does not

[copper orchid]

Can cheeto even clear f1

[prime mountain]

Who tf do you run

wis s1 ros s1???

[copper orchid]

I dont play is6 cheeto

I play is5 cheeto

Just questioning that cheeto clears f1 even

[prime mountain]

With like 1 leak on every map sure

[proven dagger]

this stage is torture without AA

[copper orchid]

[prime mountain]

Cynik, this is why may is mandatory draft

you dont get it

[slate hull]

what is mizuki doing there?

[prime mountain]

pulling right side dudes in hole

[slate hull]

oh, he reaches the tile above the hole

[proven dagger]

I DONT LIKE DRAFTING MAY

I DONT LIKE USING SNIPERS

🥹

[prime mountain]

Why does this show up in shop

Insane 2 ingot value

[stray dove]

i mean

iirc

there's also other ISs

where they sell ingot-increasing items

maybe IS4?

[prime mountain]

That one also has hope on higher diff

its not just 10 coins

Yeah I think cube was tripping there's no way cheeto pre expansion is a thing this is insanely bad

[sly harness]

On IS Central someone posted Archetto + Ros Sniper/Medic with Saki pivot

So ig this may be the way to play Archetto

[prime mountain]

Ok guess we just dont

[stray dove]

which Saki skill does an IS Cheeto Saki comp use?

[prime mountain]

Gvg 3rd guard draft it is for saki!

[sly harness]

You can also go for M3 and Nara with Sniper/Medic

[prime mountain]

s1 or s3 both are fine

[sly harness]

And May is there

[stray dove]

unfortunate that Hoshitter's S2 only starts recovering Off Rec after the shield spin

[proven dagger]

poorest f4 ive had bruh

well i got my anti air

[stray dove]

i see 3 relics that will carry you to a win....

oh wait

i don't know how useful the watch is for Phantom

less redep time on summons is pretty good at least

Also cynikr here bruteforcing GuardSpec into existence

[slate hull]

I won't be able to unsee it now, the geist binding rope or whatever it is called does look like a watch

[stray dove]

it's presented like a watch

[proven dagger]

watch is so fucking good

[stray dove]

like outside of the typical silver watches

[proven dagger]

watch is incredibly op for phantom

[stray dove]

there's the leather and gold trim watch designs that are common

Rope looks like those watches

[proven dagger]

lets his clone stall out much better

if you have someone like stainless

[nocturne cape]

s2 because his ass never got e2 saki

[proven dagger]

phantom can permastall yi

cuz he can hit robots and reduce clone time

[stray dove]

#cn-lounge message
Cube is this factual about the PC Platform?

if not, it'd be nice to help them out on why shit ain't working

[copper orchid]

Dam pc

[nocturne cape]

You cant bind pause elsewhere as of now

Shitty game by a shitty company

[stray dove]

that is so horseshit

you can bind everything but that button?

yeah by that point, emulator would be better

[proven dagger]

[stray dove]

that sure was "helpful"

at least the bullying part is fun

even if it does lead to a lot of deaths

wonder how many dodges you can do before Mizuki gets killed

@open finch @cold fjord @halcyon flame 🧑‍💻

did you crop shit?

i can't see UIs

[proven dagger]

yeah

[proven dagger]

pull forsaken into range tile so it skips checkpoints and goes to stairs so Sakiko can burst both'

OH MY GOD SAKIKO'S NOTES GO BEYOND HER RANGE I FORGOT

[prime mountain]

Yeah sakiko has crazy range

[chrome tangle]

Ur team is healing

[proven dagger]

😭

[crystal niche]

wth is this

[sly harness]

Endings rng... Again...

[sly harness]

ed2

[crystal niche]

they changed it from legend?

[stray dove]

they changed it to be much more unique looking

it's still gonna act like a Legend node

[slate hull]

this would be annoying, but I think the only time this matters is with the wooden lump and you are never going to trigger its clear all retrieve and legend nodes condition anyway

[old lake]

Btw what does this actually look like

Do u get to see it on the map before u find it

or like

Is it just that u know its the node when u find it

[stray dove]

it's literally in the screenshots above us

lemme fetch you one

[old lake]

yeah i just saw it

I tot u cud actually see where it was

[stray dove]

you can....

i know it's up there somewhere

lemme get you a fresher screenshot

[grizzled nexus]

Good thing Sui's Wrath of IS6 version isn't a common drop

[stray dove]

Found it

@old lake

[stray dove]

I wouldn't have taken it anyways.

unless it dropped in Desires node

or Tavern

[grizzled nexus]

Was it after ave mujica update that ED2 Legend become Decision node?

[stray dove]

Mujica update

[slate hull]

isn't that because of raidian's skill?

[old lake]

Wat da ell

Is that locked behind an unlock

[sly harness]

It is revealed because of Raidian

This is a normal node that works the same as ed2 Legend used to work

The only thing that changed is that now it has a special icon

So you no longer need to check/be afraid of picking Legends when looking for ed2

[slate hull]

now not crossing 5 nodes for the fire pit is the scariest thing about legend nodes

[sly harness]

Nah you need to cross 10 to get a better voucher

[stray dove]

oh lmao

so someone is lucky enough that Raidian's reveal for the visit is literally the Ed2 position

[proven dagger]

raising mutsumi for IS now

[storm brook]

Finally cleared ed2,your guide helps a lot man

[stray dove]

I'm guessing the best value done for WiW visits

is to do as little Legends as possible till 10 nodes are visited?

[sly harness]

I was just restarting f1 with Leader Squad to check whether this QoL is in the game, and I got this after 10 runs (quite funny screenshot though)

[stray dove]

I reckon that's a lot more valuable than greeding and avoiding Turmoils for a potential F3 Stirfry?

[orchid garnet]

Who are the most noteworthy 5 stars for IS?

[storm brook]

Kroosalt

[stray dove]

Surfer

[sly harness]

Ye I will usually avoid Legends unless I am forced to take them to reveal new nodes

[stray dove]

Amiya

[sly harness]

Also the big value of Turmoils are Coupons and thanks to them you can use verticals

[stray dove]

the rest i remembered are only worthwhile for specific endings

or specific runs

[sly harness]

Not always that relevant now, but quit big post dlc1

[stray dove]

like Silence for Quilon, Rose Salt for Jie foot, or Greyyter for IS5 lamp runs

[storm brook]

Btw since I alr cleared the ed2 once, which next squad I should use to clear ed2 for second time?

[sly harness]

Most of the 5* are very situational and mainly used as a specific boss solutions

[sly harness]

You can do the same thing with forcing e2 Raidian for f2 Bosky with Defender/Support squad

[storm brook]

I see

Then other squad for third run?

[sly harness]

The 3 squads specific to this IS are also quite strong but getting e2 Raidian early in the run on them will be more rng dependent

[storm brook]

I see

[orchid garnet]

Thanks, so for general purpose 5* Sniper just to have around in case voucher calls for one, Kroos should be priority over Greyy?

[stray dove]

I mean just consider if you really want to use some of that hope on a 5*

you could invest on a 6* later

[orchid garnet]

Yeah up till now I usually do that, sometimes you just have enough for one 5 star by end of run, I had Erato from IS3 so usually picked her but figured I should invest in something better for other IS. Especially with IS6 making them free if you save up a lot of vouchers

That and there's currently event encouraging people to level four 5 star units, and it doesn't have to be the Ave Mujika ones

[stray dove]

Erato...

those were some memories

Erato Nothing was my TLK stall back then

and it was a huge investment cause those 2 barely help on the way to get to TLK boss

[woeful anchor]

wat

ertao is an air stunner

well "stun"

same thing as stun cos she brings mantas down

[stray dove]

back then

it was a Krooster start

she wasn't exactly all too needed for that role

[sly harness]

Erato was the ed2 solution

[stray dove]

yeah i know

Fib is stating Erato can still help along the way

but Krooster was already there

for Manta downing purposes

I'm guessing this is pre-downloaded and Loopshooter module isn't implemented yet in this update?

[chrome tangle]

its with mantra

[unborn creek]

does this mean temp naran gets mod

[chrome tangle]

ayo

[ivory hemlock]

do you think an ave mujica only team could win in an is with difficulty like 9+

[pastel saffron]

easily

[gaunt bay]

if you highroll

quite easily

[pastel saffron]

bro lunacub can solo IS3 D9

with real highroll

[gaunt bay]

is3 is old is

[ivory hemlock]

thats crazy

[gaunt bay]

we dont care about is3

[pastel saffron]

Ave mujica team can

[sly harness]

Remember that IS5 and IS6 are beatable without operators on max difficulty

[gaunt bay]

is3 doesnt matter until d18

[pastel saffron]

IS5 just wish fullfilled

IS6 D10 tho hmm

Maybe they can survive enroute

but how do they deal with Yi

u need to dps it down

yeah need highroll for IS6

[gaunt bay]

saiki has enough damage to burst yi at d9

[sly harness]

Saki burst

[gaunt bay]

with ave

[sly harness]

Get Coin Machine f1

EZ

[ivory hemlock]

i tried dungeon meshi a couple times couldnt get past floor 3

[pastel saffron]

dungeon meshi is so bad

the 6* fucking sucks

[ivory hemlock]

Lol.

[sly harness]

Which IS?

[ivory hemlock]

6

[sly harness]

6?

[ivory hemlock]

it kinda seems challenge friendly

[sly harness]

I mean there is only 1 unit that has some range and some damage

[pastel saffron]

I dont even rmb what other units do

chilchuk is memorable coz of cc

[ivory hemlock]

senshi is a p standard healer

[wicked shadow]

Uh what is it?

[ivory hemlock]

laios has atk buff above 50% or stunlocks one (1) enemy

but if you get block collectibles... think about it...

[pastel saffron]

I think it means to invest plans when u come across the safe house, rogue trade and uhh the node where u mix plans

[wicked shadow]

My brain doesn't progressing smh

[pastel saffron]

u mean processing

[pastel saffron]

I think its this

[wicked shadow]

Hmmm

[old lake]

Am i tripping or pseudomuts in remnant consciousness super tanky

one time sakiko blowing s3 and they just charge through

When i have the relic that gives 50% more dmg to apparition it definitely doesnt feel like it does anything sometimes

[tired wyvern]

Guys, freemont randomly revived himself 2 times, is that a big or?

[remote badger]

anything in bosky is tanky

[remote badger]

ur doing him on fractured

[old lake]

if u have fractured mind

[tired wyvern]

Ohhh

Alr alr thx, ig I forgot i was fractured

Thx.

[cloud cliff]

is there anyway to guarantee getting ed 2?

[sly harness]

Go through Bosky on every floor and learn to clear Turmoils in one with Raidian + Amiya

If you go through Bosky on every floor you will get enough Candles to check the entire 5x5 grid (if you don't waste them that is)

[old lake]

Is it worth drafting sakiko as starter in is6

She really wants that e2

[woeful anchor]

no

just use leizi

sakiko not rly worth

[nocturne cape]

Only in first class where you can draft her teammates promoted

E1 saki with 2 e2 4 stars can do f1 just fine

In other squads no

[faint rampart]

gvg >recruit leizi>cant shop rob, need for vouchers anyway>
-doesn't matter if you lowroll for ed2, swire saves you,
-entel+leizi bosky carry
-just have to survive until ed2-3

so i guess thats it

[sick mason]

Time to give it a try

[faint rampart]

post your results

[carmine token]

[faint rampart]

guard voucher wher

[nocturne cape]

Wheres your hope

[faint rampart]

swalter doesn't feel good at e1🥹

[sonic sable]

Can raidian do it??

[chrome tangle]

time to find out

[pure oyster]

Trying is6 again and I always die on this stage

[chrome tangle]

is bro playing E1 only

by F3

[pure oyster]

Are you referring to me?

[chrome tangle]

yes

what happened to ur squad

😭

[pure oyster]

Not on purpose

Raidian is stuck at e1 because I can’t beat is6 😭

Should I just skip picking raidian?

[pastel saffron]

if ur d2 or below dont take raidian

if ur d2 or above, play special squad or borrow a maxed one

[pure oyster]

Is d2 the difficulty? I’m just playing the easiest option

[pastel saffron]

you need better drafts, look at mika's tourist guide in first pinned messagw

[pastel saffron]

dont take raidian, also read raidian progression guide in pins by cube, it will make stuff A LOT easier

[severe oasis]

you should be increasing it just for exp multiplier, but you can stop after beating d2 if you want just so you can use the upgraded special squad (lets you start with a fully maxed raidian for free + another 6star)

thats the squad i used while climbing difficulty, learning maps, and maxing my own raidian. made things multiple times easier

[pastel saffron]

d2 or above for special squad btw

[pure oyster]

Ok I’m looking at the guides. I really never considered raising the difficulty

[severe oasis]

you really wont notice the difference until like after d10

[pure oyster]

I have some good operators but I felt like I was supposed to take raidian lol

[severe oasis]

but d10 is also max exp multiplier if thats all u care about

[pastel saffron]

raidian only starts to get good after d2 coz of how proficiencies work

[severe oasis]

and the max difficulty needed to fully max raidian

[pastel saffron]

Exia is the best unit for IS6 after raidian

take her

she cheeses everything

[pure oyster]

I have her and she is e2 60

[severe oasis]

would recommend trag instead for climbing to d2 ngl

[pure oyster]

I also have trag but not e2

[severe oasis]

can borrow him

[pastel saffron]

do you have hoshi and haruka

[severe oasis]

works too ig

[pure oyster]

Yea but I’m really low on resources and they have been neglected

[pastel saffron]

Damn

Def Supp really is the best class squad rn

if u do that start

ur guaranteed to have hoshi e2 right from get go

get haruka and exia as run progresses

u dont need raidian/trag with that

[pure oyster]

Then I can bring my maxed out deep color :3

[pastel saffron]

thr good 4* here are purestream and gummy btw

myrtle is also ok

[old lake]

What the heck

[sinful sparrow]

DLC2 also has wind scoot

[old lake]

Ed2 foot oneshot me

[pastel saffron]

omg e2 windscoot was not a mistake afterall

[old lake]

Genuinely what was the counterplay

Like 1 stomp and everyone ded

[pure oyster]

Ah I have to clear guided tour first

[pastel saffron]

Exia barrier, Shamare Atk reduction, Waifu Atk reduction, Nara Atk Steal, Ines Atk Steal(cope), Necrosis Atk reduction, simply having -atk from somewhere else or having a lot of hp relics, Hoshi immortality mode (also cope), Rose Salt Dmg Reduction

[old lake]

Shits crazy

[pastel saffron]

Exia is enough tho mostly

dont need anyone else

even at d15

[old lake]

who does she protect

Raidian?

How much hp needed to leak left side

[faint rampart]

17 iirc

[pure oyster]

Because you are purchasing from Ji and not Cannot, Bosky shops remain functional even if you have robbed Cannot in the main run.
What?! You can rob Cannot?! Who would do such a thing 😔

[severe oasis]

well you NEED 18 because 17 is the amount leaked!

[severe oasis]

when robbing someone, the price of the stuff they are selling generally becomes 0.

this is why robbery is a very powerful strategy for many places in life, including is6

[chrome tangle]

i mean

robbing in general is good in every IS

[remote badger]

u get the goods in the shop for free

and a free combat

[pure oyster]

I understand the idea lol

[pastel saffron]

yeah

if ur banning raidian I use lemon on that tile instead

she has good dmg when boss stomps and s3 isnt affected by aspd debuff

Depends on who ur drafting ig

[sick mason]

Mudrock, Hellagur and Horn (forgot to screenshot)

[faint rampart]

fossil recruitments😢

[sick mason]

And not a single actual guard voucher through the whole run

There goes my chance to recruit Sakiko

[sonic sable]

Sakiko is a big fraud

Wheres the dmg??

[pure oyster]

This is feeling so much easier with a good team

[stray dove]

In S3 and in Mod3

[gaunt bay]

rose meow fo me

[severe oasis]

meow

[tribal furnace]

I mean, when you can ignore dmg res, yeah it's easier

[sonic sable]

Only mod2 now but i dont find the dmg overwhelming

Fever also takes so long to charge

And she has zero survivability

This one

[stray dove]

you do more ISs than CCBs or RA CCs, right?

as your endgame?

[sonic sable]

Ya

[stray dove]

ok so.....

only

ask here for who to pull for

only here

not even #cn-lounge cause I reside there

and i would point here again

[sonic sable]

I mean my plan now is to pull sa alt pram alt, then wang chen alt

Skip all else

[stray dove]

hell, #cn-lounge has no AK talk outside CN streams

ANNOYINGLY

[stray dove]

good.

so far those are the solid picks

the only reason I would've recommended a Saki pull is just because it's a collab with no potential rerun

simple as that

[sonic sable]

Nasti ranged tile making might be good against wang tho

[stray dove]

no

right now the novelty of adding a ranged tile wherever you want

it's nice and all

but that's a lot of commitment for IS

to get 10 hope worth + vouchers

just to get a ranged tile of any position in any unbanned ground tile

Nasti is much easier to visualize value in when bringing her into a squad doesn't cost you a thing outside squad slots

btw Sapa

Reddit, Supah, #help don't bother asking those things for pull suggestions

#help is only helpful for newest players

[sonic sable]

[stray dove]

you're beyond that now

[gaunt bay]

well

shes not the worst thing out there

[sick mason]

Eblana usage is ehhh

[gaunt bay]

she doesnt have a hand and can somewhat scale

but

thats just about where the upsides end

basically the least consistent and weakest statstick option avaliable

but she is usable

[errant siren]

It's funny how lack of hand is good.

[stray dove]

the most valuable Eblana has ever been was max risk LS-4

[sick mason]

Because it doesn't hinder your ass to get kings relics

[stray dove]

outside of that I've not seen her much

[sick mason]

Can't say the same for those who went with top gun squad

[stray dove]

ugggh

IS5

[pure oyster]

The last coin is scary but is it good if tossed this many times?

[gaunt bay]

you got 10 tosses?

[pure oyster]

No 8

Isn’t it 200 plus 8*100?

Seeing a crusher having DEF equivalent to defenders are funny

[stray dove]

i've seen it pre-IS6

from UnclePtilo's screenshots of old

just forgot how he got DEF to Ulp back then

[wary bolt]

Which Beanstalk Skill to use?

[stray dove]

there's only one choice imo

and it's the one I've seen do really great stalls against dangerous enemies (gopnik-likes)

or block directional environmental dmg (Tal)

[robust grail]

stage dependent

aquapit uses s2

firepower squad uses s1

sentinel uses s2

if you want to cycle tanks then s1

such as firepower squad or logos mom

if you need block count then s2

s1 has a higher dp/s than s2

[wary bolt]

I don't buy caster upgrade (broken wand), right? Candlelight them instead?

I'll be asking a lot...

[pure oyster]

I wonnn and I only leaked the last three dragons

squad size has barely mattered for me in most IS experience

[wary bolt]

I got storyteller Dusk

[stray dove]

our tips about this will soon change tones once global gets Pralter, heh

[stray dove]

dude, with that fucking team

[faint rampart]

dont think she will contribute alot anyways

[stray dove]

just win

[sick mason]

The general mechanics guide in pinned?

[wary bolt]

Also I somehow lost my obj shield, altho I didn't leak anything...

[stray dove]

just that caster vouchers will no longer be a dead voucher

Logos is acceptable "might as well with these many hope" move. But Pralter is something you actually want to get in a run

[wary bolt]

So which one?

[stray dove]

no brainer

healing does fuck all to your situation

[faint rampart]

recruit

[stray dove]

do you think you need more slots?

then whatever's left is always the best pick

[wary bolt]

Not yet

[wary bolt]

K

[fresh cobalt]

Should I raise sakiko for is6

[cyan pasture]

how good is SAlter in is

[wary bolt]

I should get her first...

[severe oasis]

hes great. best vanguard in IS6, not sure about others

[fresh cobalt]

Saber alter?!?

[fresh cobalt]

Oh silverash mb

[wary bolt]

Also, how good is Red-Biding Time coin

[severe oasis]

it has the ability to fuck you over but it is generally good imo

[stray dove]

as an ex-FGO player

yeah remove that lingo from your brain and attach it to SA(Silverash) + Alter

AK's SAlter

[stray dove]

not really

unless you like the idea of actually recruiting a lot of Guards and VGs for a GVG run

[wary bolt]

Dang it. I hate ice...

[stray dove]

easiest IS6 F3 boss tho

a freebie of no-leaks compared to what the other 2 can do

[wary bolt]

Yeah, much easier than I thought

I got Ground 4 voucher, but my keeping slots are full

[faint rampart]

ground 4 voucher? gurads?

[stray dove]

try to not conserve everything

conserve only useful ones

[wary bolt]

Either of those, can't remember

[faint rampart]

oh these

[wary bolt]

I got 10 hope dunno who to pick

[faint rampart]

#is-station message

[gaunt bay]

[severe oasis]

[faint rampart]

strong ops
prolly gonna depend on what vouchers you have

[severe oasis]

[unkempt flower]

What a interesting choice

+4 hope and +1 squad size or +4 hope and +1 squad size...

[pastel saffron]

Roll 1 and u get smth else

I love IS6

technically you have

[unkempt flower]

I have 4 die. I can reroll

[pastel saffron]

6 diff collectibles in a wish fullfilled

[wary bolt]

I got a sniper, two supps and a vanguard, methinks...

In the keeping pocket

[faint rampart]

wisadel/tuya snip
tragodia for sup
cantabile/surfer

[wary bolt]

k. Only works if agent, since it's only ground ops

[faint rampart]

[unkempt flower]

Who the heck said that?!

[pastel saffron]

🤫

[wary bolt]

It was an Elite Voucher... AAAAAAH.

Could've picked hoshi

[unkempt flower]

Nevermind. I rerolled into a 6

So + Banchee Kiss (+8 hope)

[pastel saffron]

told u beo

either 1 or 6

[wary bolt]

Console?

[errant siren]

Yes

[wary bolt]

Is Whisperain good as purestream replacement? I haven't built her, due to Nightingale,Whisprin and Silence were enough for main content.

[errant siren]

No

[lament socket]

Does anyone have any tips for dealing with the sharpedges enemies during the fight with Yi? No matter how good I beat up him the sharpedges spam just eventually calmly fly into the blue box and take all my life points

[faint rampart]

hit count?

[errant siren]

You kill them ASAP.

[wary bolt]

Where to? Pathfinder?

[errant siren]

Like to block them, you need a corresponding color blocker.

They're white? Block on white tile.

Vice versa applies.

[faint rampart]

seems good yea, pfinder

[lament socket]

The evil and intimidating

Tends to mean a bunch of them still leaks

[errant siren]

Wait

It's daggers?

[lament socket]

I mean the spears yes

[errant siren]

Aaaaah

[lament socket]

The iron spears they spawn on death

[errant siren]

Then just still kill ASAP

But with more hits

Ethan S1 should help

[wary bolt]

Hmm...

I lost previous run due to misplaced exualt

Picked ground breacher for cheaper hoshialt

[sly harness]

If you don't kill them and let them leak it is only -10

Or just darf an operator who can kill them, killing them on the right with a range operator will be safer and will give you more time if something goes past the stairs

You can use e.g. Wisadel (other flinger, Greyy with some ASPD will be fine), Ascalon, Leizi S3, Angelina e.t.c

[faint rampart]

you dont have to take monthly that seriously....im psure it doesn't help your raidian's progress

[tired wyvern]

Guys, I want to try out a talons run, which team should I stay with? And which operator do i start with? Do I refresh any nodes? I also want to get the ending with patriot in the talons run, how do I approach this?

[tired wyvern]

Also I've been told sakiko is great in IS5

[sly harness]

You can play
Blueprint + Talons (it is ass in dlc2 IS5)
Ingots + Talons (you will need to restart for Hope start if you want to pick 6* start and then you can borrow Wisadel/Ros/Exu2)
or fated less Collection, you can play it with Talons but people are playing this generally without a fated encounter (you start Tragodia here)

Talons is quite roster demanding because you need strong ops to make up for low rolling so it can be a bit hard to play with your roster. I would probably recommend Ingots Squad, rely on borrowed carry and draft Leizi, Sakiko and other utility units of lower rarities

[tired wyvern]

So, start with wis, and try to get her promoted as fast as possible, but scout nodes r useless cuz I won't be able to fight that floor if I do so right?

[tired wyvern]

Ingots squad alr

[sly harness]

In theory f2 is winnable with 4* units + Amiya... But it can be quite demanding and ig your 4* aren't built

You should be able to pick one more 6* on f2 but your options are very limited

[wary bolt]

Eh, freebie is a freebie

[tired wyvern]

Yea it's not, so i should prolly hope that I get more hope and a promotion ticket from the fight rewards? Also hope to be lucky with the safe house for promotion? Also how do I get kings relics of I don't have lamp?

[tired wyvern]

Prolly sakiko, huge dmg

[sly harness]

You don't have a reliable way to get Kings, you need to make up for the lack of them with other stuff

There is one shop upgrade about "rare collectibles being more likely to appear after refreshing the shop", this one is very helpful

But the thing commonly done with Ingots on f1 is:
refresh the first node on the path you won't take -> take 2 combats batch -> get Talons in encounter -> refresh the shop -> get the shop on f2

f2 shops are better because they give you 2 vouchers on each page

[tired wyvern]

Hmmm

[tired wyvern]

I have 200 ingots in investment, is that enough?

[tired wyvern]

So f2 shops is good

How many ingots do I need?

Wait, lemme go try it out. I'll ping u once eim done

Maybe in hr or 2,

I need to do some stuff

[sly harness]

I mean usually people are saying that with Ingots you can go all in and you just use all 999 in one runs

But you can do with minimal help when it comes to using investment

[wary bolt]

What's this means?

[errant siren]

Faster Battlepass progress.

[wary bolt]

Ah

[sly harness]

also make sure to invest at least 500 once before playing IS seriously to unlock all the cannot things

[wary bolt]

Which is better?

[stray dove]

losing something in the perks had never been good

-1 hope.....too shit of an effect. Hope econ early on is too valuable

8 ingots?

[errant siren]

Depends, but I rather just take a kettle lol.

[stray dove]

I'd sooner try to buy shit from Cannot

instead of a random low tier relic

[wary bolt]

Who next?

[sly harness]

Luo Xiaohei/Humus
Purestream

[wary bolt]

Purestream isn't built

[sly harness]

Borrow if you can find one

[wary bolt]

Tragodia is borrowed already

[sly harness]

You can borrow all 3

[wary bolt]

Ah.

Which Humus and Purestream skills to use?

[faint rampart]

https://is-central.github.io/is6-sui/low-rarity-recommendations/

it has skill and investment recommendations
purestream depends on stage
humus s2 when you need 3 blocks(rat stage)

[wary bolt]

Problem. Borrowed Purestream has SL1

[faint rampart]

bruh borrow a better one....well shes just a low rarity healer, surely its not gonna affect your run :clueless:

[rocky frigate]

holy sh finally

"only diff 5" idc ‼️‼️‼️

i just wanna m2 raidian skill brah

sakiko's dmg is wild asf

[wary bolt]

Do I abandon the run then?

[faint rampart]

dont need to, but if you're still early then sure

[faint rampart]

congrats

[wary bolt]

I haven't done anything yet, so ok

[pastel saffron]

67 😭😭😭

[pastel saffron]

winning ed2 without any dmg reduction, very nice

[stray dove]

would a good stack of Stirfry + Instrument be enough for it without a single dmg reduction in max diff?

[rocky frigate]

raidian level pmo gng

i lost my 67 streak

[rocky frigate]

lvl 60 would prob kill most of my operator in this stage without dmg reduction

67 is perfect, thin ice

[unkempt flower]

I have no comment on this one.

[rocky frigate]

ed2 diff 6 obliterate my whole ops

[unkempt flower]

Thorns wasn't E2. Clausus was easily defeated even though i have those sticks that was giving 2 shields

[sly harness]

funny stage on d18... 💀

[unkempt flower]

Out of control is more funny

[pastel saffron]

why tske this map without havning basically no air counter

[unkempt flower]

Other map was with low hovering sea terror

[pastel saffron]

the normal version where drone is on lefy is pretty easy

the version with drone on right fucking sucks without ines

[pastel saffron]

which one is that, the manta one?

ngl u might have stood a better chance there

[sly harness]

true, I don't think I've ever won it on d18 and yesterday it lost my 24 + W run

[pastel saffron]

or maybe not

hmm u need to stub

[jagged heath]

is irene's new mod any good?

[pastel saffron]

ooc is veey winnable with wisadel, emergency u have to leak

I was gon try it with hoshi ngl

might be onto smth

if u have that tool

[sly harness]

not in d18

[pastel saffron]

where u can retreat ops

[pastel saffron]

I am talking about d18

Actually weedy is pretty solid

[unkempt flower]

The sea terror one. With tunnels and 3 paths

[pastel saffron]

Fib I think told me even zuo can kill an orig guy before dying

or most of ir

[gaunt bay]

you brought this upon yourself icl

[pastel saffron]

yeah It has broods and mantas

[gaunt bay]

that draft is 🫃

[pastel saffron]

he is fishnights

[sly harness]

but Zuo Le can cc lock him

[slate hull]

do dmg buffs affect the ending 2 boss? for instance the 30% from the hour of sui that buffs apparitions or the 25% from weiqi risk or whatever the new name is

[sly harness]

ofc

[slate hull]

oh, that actually explains a lot

[stray dove]

btw

are the relics about "enemies take ___% more (damage type)" still doesn't work on Jie foot?

[pastel saffron]

I'll tell u how no wis hoshi goes, sounds very mpreg but maybe I am onto smth

[pastel saffron]

it should

I had a run enemies take more dmg

and I basically melted bro

[stray dove]

i heard from the sweatlords that those relic types don't apply on Jie foot

[pastel saffron]

but I had a lot of

atk too

not sure if it was that

[stray dove]

i was wondering if that was fixed

[pastel saffron]

or dmg taken

[tribal furnace]

I really don't know why I'm struggling this much with this map

[sly harness]

yesterday i died with this in EM OCC (Wis, Exu, Angelina, Phantom)

[pastel saffron]

bad drafts, but with hoshi u can put her on orig tile with a healer and she destroys

ofcourse if ur healinh is weak u deploy behind or in front of orig tile

[gaunt bay]

dying to ooc with that with wis is

[pastel saffron]

I have never won an em ooc without basically leaking 90% of the damn map

but those relics are not bad

[tribal furnace]

She got absolutely destroyed

[pastel saffron]

read mikas guide on drafts in first pins, I think its called tourist guide by her usernams is fish eggs(?)

[tribal furnace]

(I'm at d14)

[stray dove]

if that didn't work, wouldn't that mean the run was really that scuffed?
Not enough damage? Not enough heals?

[pastel saffron]

what the fuck

why would u draft eyja and dusk

[gaunt bay]

getting to d14 with that shit of a draft is not bad tbh

[sly harness]

Dusk and Eyja are... Logos would win this

[pastel saffron]

bro must be the best player here or sum

only e2 unit is dusk

vro

😭😭😭

[sly harness]

also why Shamare and no e2 Raidian

[pastel saffron]

how is bro playing

[gaunt bay]

ines is e2

[tribal furnace]

I'm goofing around tbh

(and I don't have logos anyway)

[sly harness]

that was probably the biggest mistake

[tribal furnace]

I took the random squad, Shamare is a temp unit. Again, I'm messing around

[pastel saffron]

caster voucher js fraud, nymph is the only decent one for ed2 if exia ban

[gaunt bay]

dont think it wouldve saved him

[sly harness]

Logos is decent as a cope pick

[tribal furnace]

(was trying Dusk's ISW module)

[cyan pasture]

Whats the reason casters fell off?

[pastel saffron]

fraud

[tribal furnace]

Dude, idgaf about Logos

[pastel saffron]

enemies have high res, or they don't provide much value

the best caster logos, all he does is dps

meanwhile pick someone else

a good draft

and they do a lot

nara has dmg, hitcount, aoe, atk steal

[cyan pasture]

Dps and res reducfion right?

[tribal furnace]

(guess i'll go back to draft Eblana)

[pastel saffron]

Exia has barrier, rdp utility, good dmg, somehwat decent with hitcount coz of talent

[pastel saffron]

well

u won't be picking many arts unit

so res reduction dont matter much for anyone besides him

[tribal furnace]

Tbf,.still better than IS3

[pastel saffron]

eblana on high diff

[cyan pasture]

true

[pastel saffron]

[pastel saffron]

IS3 atleast has rejection now, get bro rejected then heal him

now he ignores res

real shi

🤫

tech

[tribal furnace]

90 RES on bosses btw

[cyan pasture]

Gotta say, i gotta have to mainly stick to arts usually since majority of my units that i belt are arts

[pastel saffron]

:clueless:

[cyan pasture]

Bruh

Do they have the arts res version of the defense reduction risk coin?

[pastel saffron]

pram, nymph, logos, leizi, hoshi right

all these draftable

:clueless:

[cyan pasture]

Leizer amd not her chain caster?

[faint rampart]

thanks Godblessed

[stray dove]

nobody would think about OG Leizi

[pastel saffron]

leizi alter

[stray dove]

but yeah

this is why i don't stop with the nicknames

if they're alters, they're getting nicknames

[muted skiff]

does umirin need mastery ?

[pastel saffron]

cope yan pick when too many vouchers real

[muted skiff]

anyone drafting her in IS ?

[stray dove]

April, i'ma say here right now

[pastel saffron]

who is umirin

[stray dove]

I don't think you have the luxury

[pastel saffron]

first time hearing about her

[stray dove]

for tribal effect synergies

in IS

not AH, not Sui, not Mujica

[muted skiff]

shes a ambusher no ?

[stray dove]

imo

[muted skiff]

i thought ambusher is pretty good in IS

[stray dove]

then pick Ethan

why you wasting on a 5*

[muted skiff]

but my sakiko

its over

[pastel saffron]

oh umiri is

ave mujica ugly girl

[tribal furnace]

Lmao

Anyway, i'll go back to my run now

Got greedy and lost lmao

[faint rampart]

the plant and seaborn stage....i assume eyja s1

[stray dove]

those are 2 different encounters

oh you mean reapers

not the little seaborn encounter node

there's no elegant solution to that

and I don't think sweatlords would even recommend you to recruit a 6* wandering just to solve 1 map

CC is a lot better to solve Reapers from getting to the exit too fast

Trag cat solves some of that issue

actually Trag S2 solves that map the best since it desyncs the wall of flowers from making ranged tiles in the middle unusable

[faint rampart]

uhhhhh that didn't go well

[faint rampart]

yeah, recruited eyja just incase ||also haruka disappointed last time against ed2 so||

[faint rampart]

-4

[stray dove]

Liberators and/or Hoshi solves the flower walls too

as for Reapers, you just need to stall their charge

in any way

although in the rare chance that you have some really good DPS relics

yeah, kill all the flowers

and then prep those nukes

without waking them up

[torn mica]

Do the previous affixes still apply? Also what lvl operators do you need? So far I have been able to get by with my operators at E1 lvl 50 and a friend's maxed Raidian, but I am wondering when I am going to hit a ceiling.

[stray dove]

they stack

[stray dove]

well it seems you're doing a bit decent

but there's an early difficulty that increases enemy HP by a decent amt

do your best to raise your ops cause IS needs you to have E2s and some masteries

[torn mica]

Alrighty. I am currently prioritizing promoting and lvling the Ave Mujica band members. It will probably take a while since this account is only 15 days old. I need materials. 😄

[stray dove]

stop right there....

[torn mica]

In anycase the goal was to beat Guided Tour 2 as that is what i need to promote my Raidian to E2.

[stray dove]

what are your operators

show us based on rarity sorting

as much as how decent Mujica team is in normal content

it's not gonna help ever in IS

[pastel saffron]

@stray dove which ave mujica skins u buy btw?

[sly harness]

Where is my Wonderland?

[sonic sable]

Wtf is3

[torn mica]

Well i also need a decent team to progress through the main story. I thought the Ave Mujica members is a sort of jack of all trades for both game modes maybe?

[faint rampart]

oh i need hoshi/lib💀

[sonic sable]

All of them i bought

[faint rampart]

no wonder my exu wasnt killing bushes

[sonic sable]

U using raidian?

[pastel saffron]

I hate this call of we many sm

[faint rampart]

yeah

(if you were asking me)

[errant siren]

Everything on bottom OBVIOUSLY STACKS.

[faint rampart]

leakless but i abused raidian

[stray dove]

the strongest ops in IS works in normal content anyways

normal content is a jack of all trades sort of deal

almost anything works in normal content

from a peek of your ops

not exactly a decent choice of ops

yeah I'd start raising Sakiko up to E2 with S3M3

[torn mica]

Ok, i will stick to my plan then.

[stray dove]

Meyja and Saria are also decent ones to raise. I'm not too keen on Silverash

Surtr might help your arts nuking needs

but not a priority

as for raising the 5* Mujicas....go for it

it helps with the material rewards of the milestones

and i am not seeing too many good options for you anyways

BTW Ptilo is a decent ops to raise

but one step at a time

[torn mica]

I take it with Meyja you mean Eyjafjalla?
Yeah i did only start playing 2 weeks ago. Basically i came into the last week of Hoshiguma's event, got my couple of free pulls and then been just trying to lvl some of my operators.

But yes 1 step at a time. Considering Raidain is probably the easiest to get to E2 since i am doing decently in IS6 so far i just need to beat Guided Tour 2. While lvling the Ave Mujica members with the mats i have farmed so far.

I'm guessing Wang's sourced damage is still unchanged?

No news about him finally being useful in Ed5

[sly harness]

but he is (with Titi)

[sinful sparrow]

🧑‍💻

titi wang technology

[stray dove]

wait

make Wang sleep during S3 so dropping mines and extra mines makes him not take revenge damage?

if that's the tech being done that's actually hilarious that Titi's payoff for potential use has already shown promise

Thats funny

[real mango]

Enemy-controlled Grammophones heal the foot by a large amount

What the goddamn fuck

There's no fucking way that's intended

It heals the foot even if it hasn't spawned yet

[errant siren]

BUT WAIT

DOES IT DAMAGES IT?!

[sly harness]

the friendly one? Yes

easy way to kill foot on f2 (if you get it thst is)

[real mango]

The friendly one deals %-based damage

So I can imagine it deletes chunks of it

[errant siren]

I was worried about target part

Hehehehe

[real mango]

But still

The amount of healing it fucking does

Even if it hasn't spawned yet

That is some genuine bullshit

[sly harness]

Damn, I'm not sure if a Grammophones can actually heal the foot off the map... but I know Cannot can

[stray dove]

that just means they've coded it to ALREADY EXIST in a global range

just that the foot is what makes it attackable by ops

[real mango]

It can

I literally just experienced it

[sly harness]

btw in dlc2 we will get ||a satge with ch16 Bear and he also can kill the foot||

[stray dove]

lmao

they immediately added a very recent boss enemy that fast

in an expansion

[sly harness]

ig if marked unit is in the range of Grammophone?

[sly harness]

dlc1 will add enemies from Hoshi event in some stages

[real mango]

I damaged it in a previous combat node and it got healed back to full before it even spawned

And kept getting healed

[stray dove]

that goes to show that if they get inspiration to do a nice stage strat/gimmick/theme

they are gonna use even the newest ones

[sonic sable]

No run died becuz of disconnect

[sly harness]

Damn, I don't remember that, I mean, I fought it once in that one Turmoil with Enemy Grammophone but I didn't pay attention to it (maybe because I had Sui with full HP at the time)

[stray dove]

most likely

[tacit hollow]

wat is decision in is6 suis conscious

nvm its ed2

[proven dagger]

isn't it DLC 2

oh wait

DLC1 adds bosky stages with beyblade ninjas right

[sly harness]

yes

[proven dagger]

and the f4 is dlc2

[sly harness]

yes

[stray dove]

oh fuck

i hate spinning ninjas

[real mango]

I feel like the Talismans don't do enough. Let's buff them a little

• now deals Nervous Impairment
• Drains SP and feeds ammo to all enemies in the map
• Drains HP 3x faster
• HP drain increased by 150%
• Inflicts Silence on all friendly units on the map

• Steals 10 ingots per tick

||Yes. If you can't tell, I absolutely hate these fucking things.||

[stray dove]

what ops do you use?

[faint rampart]

steals 10 ingots per tick💀

[real mango]

You know, the usual IS staples

Radian, Archetto, etc.

[sly harness]

but Raidian just melts the Talismans

[real mango]

Her summons can't be everywhere at once

Close hto

[stray dove]

.....wat

like she's not gonna solve every talisman issue sure

we know that
