[faint rampart]

inserting ching chong in pure EN guides wthelly

[sly harness]

This squad into a low roll ed2 was something

And the setup to abuse +100% ATK around the red box

Om...

[lost anchor]

holy guide wtf yeah this is a boss battle fr

[woeful anchor]

should be before

wait let me clarify

[faint rampart]

what the durin doing

[woeful anchor]

the +2000 should be before

the -100 is after

[faint rampart]

[woeful anchor]

:pepega:

[faint rampart]

[sly harness]

speeding up the stomp

[faint rampart]

[sly harness]

While there are at least 6 friendly units on the map, Sleepless's SP recovery is increased by +1.5

[faint rampart]

anyone can do it...unless its dodge(?)

nvm its arts dodge

[sly harness]

anyone, she was the chapest option i had (rest of my draft was useless regardless)

[deft breach]

but wouldn't that mean that the 2000 would get multiplied by %def modifiers and become basically a curse even after hitting them 25 times?

[faint rampart]

understood 🫡

[sly harness]

Rest of my draft

[faint rampart]

swireless

[sly harness]

yep

I got my first Specialist voucher on f5, so I preferred e1 Waai Fu over e1 Swire

[faint rampart]

:dalao: must've been confident in dmg i guess

~~not that e1 swire could do anything ~~

[sly harness]

No, but I assumed I wouldn't get a second voucher, so e1 Swire would be usless anyway.

[faint rampart]

😢

[sly harness]

but with a good cycle S3 Ente + Leizi have a good chance of solving even a low roll

I had this

So like +65% for guards

• 50% on the first half on Ente from first deployment melee unit

And +100% on the second from being next to the red box

Oh end +16% from book

[faint rampart]

weiqi chance

nvm thats f6
so ed2 is pretty doable even without swire, me not buying swire wasnt brick afterall

[sly maple]

ez

[sly harness]

Wtf ed3 with Haruk is so simple

[nocturne cape]

yeah

[sly harness]

(still she is a fraud)

[nocturne cape]

but its hard to justify 10 hope for her

since gvg

[sly harness]

Since I had 25 Hope and no vouchers

[nocturne cape]

ya

at least shes usable at e1

thats great

[sly harness]

I got like 6 medic vouchers and 5 supporter

[sly maple]

wait for ed5

[pastel saffron]

I pray IS7 has stage where haruka s3 shines

[nocturne cape]

💀

her S3 cycle is kinda dogshit

icl

[inland elbow]

gl with that

haruka s3 the potential skill

[nocturne cape]

like 60% sanct is technically really nice

[inland elbow]

"it has better dr than NG s3 on 0 res!!!!"

"it has insane hps!"

[nocturne cape]

but the cycle is making it unreliable

[inland elbow]

"it has levitate to prevent damage!"

[nocturne cape]

40s duration and 60s cycle bruh

how do you even line that up with anything

[inland elbow]

0 IS usage
0 gen content usage
7 billion people spamming about how it creeps NG

[nocturne cape]

1 IS usage

if you havent took ED3 part 1 you can use S3 in pf fights

for IS6

but its bricked after youve taken ed3

john 33s start up

[pastel saffron]

I never said that coz ng has those ugh summon too

and where it matters

u still use ng

thats what makes me sad anyway

She has 0 fucking usage

on se

s3

[nocturne cape]

whos gonna shill s1

s1 shills wya

[pastel saffron]

yesh they really made it once per stage typa skill

did they expect me to place haruka so she gets hit a lot and somehow makes sp from her 1 in 5 chance sp mod😭

[nocturne cape]

ok but her mod is good

[pastel saffron]

mod1 or mod3 effect?

[nocturne cape]

its the same mod!

[open finch]

We have too many "potential man/woman" ops

[nocturne cape]

yep

potential woman mantra

[pastel saffron]

😭

[nocturne cape]

potential woman nasti

potential woman titi

whos next

[open finch]

Nono

[nocturne cape]

potential woman chen3

[pastel saffron]

do u think her mod2/mod3 effect is good?

[open finch]

They have relicless regular army

Titi on the other hand

[pastel saffron]

hp% based dmg might be cooking in cc

[faint rampart]

so many women

[nocturne cape]

hence

potential

ngl chen3 aint bad at all

even for IS

[open finch]

But nasti's potential has been realized already!

Goated

[pastel saffron]

We need nasti mod that makes her do 2 tiles

[open finch]

Mantra is just on the verge of being decent

[pastel saffron]

peak unit

[open finch]

If her cycle wasn't so piss

[nocturne cape]

Statistics from my 39 gvg d15 23 runs in IS6:
25 wins
14 losses:

• 3 times I couldn’t find ed2
• 8 times I lost in ed2 (mainly due to misplays)
• 2 times I was killed by other stages
• 1 time I died because I had no guards for the first 3 floors
• 1 time I died because a 5* character from that one f1 encounter burned my promotion

[stable yacht]

any tips to finding "Ink of Hidden Butterfly"?

[nocturne cape]

be efficient with your candles

dont waste any of them outside of the initial 5x5 grid

[gaunt bay]

Cube

[nocturne cape]

try to clear all the turmoils in 1/2 candles

always try to expand to the unexplored nodes first

hi kiwi

[stable yacht]

yea I only go into turmoil only when I can clear it in 1 candle

[lost anchor]

Passing combats in one try helps a lot

[pastel saffron]

Does Blaze alter have any notable niche IS usage?

[stable yacht]

but usually I need to reveal like 3/4 of the map to find it

[lost anchor]

Also always path towards bosky

[stable yacht]

bosky?

[sly harness]

ye Bosky (Wonderland/Sui Remnant somthing entry) has the hightes priority

[nocturne cape]

wonder into wonderland

whatever its called

[stable yacht]

yea I always go through all of them

[lost anchor]

Also try to skip nodes that don't unlock new nodes

[sly harness]

with Raidian you will get 5+5+3+5+5 Candles (+ one discovered node)

in short more than enough

a lot

there are only 24 relevant nodes

[stable yacht]

back to is2

[faint rampart]

is2 doesn't have yi and wang😢

[vocal wasp]

is it better to leave/ignore legend nodes until i have 6 candleguest and 30 originium coins if i were to aim for ending 2?

[nocturne cape]

ending 2 is now in its specific node type

"Decision"

no longer associated with legend

[vocal wasp]

ah nice

no longer need to test my luck with random nodes

[errant siren]

Yep

You will always know

[nocturne cape]

it is a good idea to leave them there if possible tho.

Traversing 5 nodes before entering a legend may get you a full LP heal, obtaining 6 candleguests can get you a nice relic without paying 2 hope

but if you're pathlocked, dont be afraid in entering them since ed2 will no longer spawn in legends

[vocal wasp]

thinking about it again, i feel like i just blew my chances on my last run, because i found that decision nodes but didn't think to enter it

simply because i still believe i had to explore legend nodes

[inland elbow]

Is3 usage!!!

[severe oasis]

what does she do in is3

[inland elbow]

She sleeps an operator to dodge izumik acid

[severe oasis]

makes sense

[vocal wasp]

well noted, now i feel like i can strategize my run more efficient

[nocturne cape]

a really important skill to have handy for IS6

[arctic panther]

you still do if you want to get the most out of campfire nodes

[vocal wasp]

also can i still cheese sui's feet HP in turmoil nodes like usual? or the way to do it also changed with the update?

[stable yacht]

What difficulty should I run to speedrun IS2 bp?

[woven wagon]

if you can clear it you should run the highest diff

[stable yacht]

will do few runs on lowest one and then slowly bump it up

[sly harness]

d7+ should have the highest score multiplier

[woven wagon]

oh yeah forgot there was a limit

[stable yacht]

anyone better than wisadle for starter?

currently running steward cardigan and wisadle

[sly harness]

for IS2? Exu alter i liked using Archetto

Trag should be fine on lower difficulties as a starter

always use class squads for more early power

[stable yacht]

im getting kernel voucher for archetto on next limited banner

[sly harness]

you can borrow

in IS2 borrowed units are insta e2 on class squads

[stable yacht]

oh that's nice

[eager crater]

what squad do you guys use in is6 ? high diff btw

[stable yacht]

first on the left

[eager crater]

[sly harness]

if with Raidian Special or Def/Sup they are the most consistent

Raidian ban class squads

[inner eagle]

the one with free radian

[sly harness]

Tourist is very strong but a bit more rng dependent when it comes to voucher and starting a snowball

[pastel saffron]

all are good tbf, can't even call a single one bad

sniper medic does feel on the weaker side if I had to nitpick

[eager crater]

the instant e2 on first supporter or defender ?

[inner eagle]

isnt those the coins one

[sly harness]

yes it is

[inner eagle]

[sly harness]

yes that is Def/Sup

[eager crater]

oh alr sounds good

thanks

[inner eagle]

i dont really like coins after diff 7 tho

[eager crater]

risk coin are fun

[inner eagle]

the one with buff
but they give you debuffs

[sly harness]

fun and powerful

[slate hull]

risk coins are great because you can actually get them

[sly harness]

yes but stuff like -45% HP is a instant win con in e.g. ed2

[slate hull]

most flower coins are higher rarity and barely ever appear

balance simply doesn't do much

[inner eagle]

the 4 red hencheman
higher atk+hp
faster mvnt
higher res
high def

[sly harness]

not really, the stacking HP and ATK are't that rare

the 30 ASPD and +30% ATK on left ad right piss tiles is quite common

[inner eagle]

coin silk + tourist
with originum=atk spd gift
with offensive recovery operator

jackpot

[sly harness]

wy will get some Flower squad in dlc1 irrc

so we should be able to play more with them

[stable yacht]

going from is6 to is2 feekls so bad xD

[inner eagle]

wdym

[stable yacht]

lack of QoL

[inner eagle]

oh

bcs i am also doing that

just scouted ed2

funny

[stable yacht]

did is6 to get raidian to E2 so exp weekly dont get wasted

was fun so I finished pass

[stable yacht]

on my way there

[inner eagle]

have you beaten it before

[stable yacht]

yea

[inner eagle]

o

[stable yacht]

my acc is quite stacked

[inner eagle]

show

[stable yacht]

current run

[inner eagle]

i can tell how stack just by the fact wisadel isnt temporary recruitment

[sly harness]

Wis to hit the boss 3 or so times with every hit

also no S2M3 on Wis? do you even play IS?

[inner eagle]

lmao

[stable yacht]

funny thing is I played ak for less than a year total in 6 years, https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/noragiri

[inner eagle]

nora said went from is6 to is2 prolly used the free mastery in level 65 for wis s3

[stable yacht]

whenever my friends mention free 10 pull I log in and get something new

[inner eagle]

do you got

trago

[stable yacht]

nope

wasnt playing

logos is from 6* voucher

[inner eagle]

aww

[inner eagle]

i took

[desert bramble]

Hey Guys. im new doctor here. glad to join.

[inner eagle]

bagpipe

[inner eagle]

but this is is-station

[desert bramble]

dang it. i suck at playing is

i hate is

[inner eagle]

is isnt that bad

reclamati-

[desert bramble]

get me a cross

[inner eagle]

i sleep

ask them if you need is tutorial or sum

like ed2+ed3 in is6

[desert bramble]

naah i just want to speak random about arknight. looks like this is wrong section

[desert bramble]

sleep well

[woven pulsar]

do I take emergency here

[sly harness]

can't wait for ra3

[empty gulch]

why not?

+1 relic

[woven pulsar]

does anti interference only give node visuals?

[empty gulch]

if you're at max index, you'll know the rewards in advance

[woven pulsar]

i see

[empty gulch]

at 0 index you wont even know the combat stage

no preview

[empty gulch]

this applies to all nodes except for prophecy and boss maps

[carmine token]

bye go to main for that

[carmine token]

more index gives more sight on the nodes

[empty gulch]

#arknights

[desert bramble]

okay thank you

[carmine token]

for 0 n 6 index is said above

[sly harness]

Nice f1 for Hoshi + Trag Def/Sup run

[prime mountain]

He took charcoal mask!!!

Im trying to become good at the game can I stop highrolling

[prime mountain]

Immediately rolled the worst possible cannot outcome for -5 and got the max hp lightning pathfind fight with too much hp and leizi died

I get what I asked for...

[sly harness]

What

I tested it relicless yesterday

Purestream + Roberta

Are enough

[prime mountain]

One of roberta's shields got taken because it was the flying enemy that spawns minions

I mistimed 🥀

[sly harness]

Even with this dron

[prime mountain]

Right but I had MORE hp

so the lightning hit for more

cause its hp%

it wouldve cleared relicless

[sly harness]

Ah "got max" I misunderstood

But still you had a better SP cycle for Purestream S1

If you fail it you can always open Sussurro

[dusk creek]

did you unequip leizi module

[prime mountain]

Thats something smart people do

[dusk creek]

crazy tech

[prime mountain]

Crazy emote react

[torn mica]

The first deployed Ground Operator... does that mean the first melee operator?

[sly harness]

Also you can get additional sustain from Defender/Medic/Supporter or even caster/guard vouchers if you are willing to draft Amiya after shop rob

[prime mountain]

I had gummy but I put her on s2 thinking leizi would survive long enough for it to be ready (it didnt)

[sly harness]

Or you even draft Myrtle after Leizi

[prime mountain]

Also had podenco, same deal she didnt get her skill up

[sly harness]

But she still should like you tank one hit

The Roberta device

[prime mountain]

Right but I fucked up first roberta skill cause of the drone

[sly harness]

And Roberta device of cooldown

[prime mountain]

And she immediately died after

[sly harness]

Bro can't even win a highroll

[prime mountain]

Well it was a highroll then I willed it into a lowroll

and immediately blew up

!

Maybe highrolling is a skill...

Stonks!

[prime mountain]

You're gonna time out...

Tragic

[sly harness]

Better t1 rewards just t1 rewards

Ig

[prime mountain]

Tragodia known broken dps???

[sly harness]

Nah time out

But he would win if placed next to the red box

[slate hull]

there is definitely some kind of elemental proc tech you can pull here even if the dps would still be pretty bad

[sly harness]

i have decent collectibles

so he had enough damge to kill

But I kind of forgot about the timer and went with a safe instead of an aggressive placement.

[midnight summit]

It gives 4th damn trade note

[prime mountain]

this isnt campfire

Wait hold up, unleashings works with the on deploy talismans debuff

actually top 5 relics???

[sly harness]

it works with ed3 bleed

[prime mountain]

Its a hard counter to everything ed3 related its so nice

[sly harness]

it is a top tier relic

f3 Bosky btw

[prime mountain]

This f3 kinda ass ngl

Wonderland but 2 encounter, pathfind leading to safehouse or scout EM

[sly harness]

if you are lucky you will get 2 fights from those encounters

[prime mountain]

Nah bro I got big bob from first one surely the follow up right after!

Leizi s3 soloes this right?

[sly harness]

idk about solo but it is easy

Ente S2 on Leizi will just kill

[prime mountain]

ROADBLOCK TECH???

[sly harness]

oh ye, and it can't be stunned

[prime mountain]

Yeah I knew that but its funny having a wall of berry slugs not doing anything

Lmao

[sly harness]

Time to cook Sui

[prime mountain]

Gaming

[prime mountain]

We love bloodshed

Wait this is goated for encounter fights

Get both bonuses right?

Or just combat

[nocturne cape]

@halcyon flame see

Stop being a hater

[prime mountain]

You can also block flowers in that other encounter stage bro roadblock is useful

[halcyon flame]

wait ive been in this situation before

with

oh right

MY ROS PILLARS

[prime mountain]

Ros drafter zzz

[sly harness]

what do you mean Viviana only gets range expansion on second activation

[halcyon flame]

silence mei alter

[prime mountain]

Known very not broken unit...

[halcyon flame]

but ya ive used roadblocks on that stage before

congrats you have a use case in an encounter fight now

now find me a usage for first aid kit

[prime mountain]

First aid kit so ass we saw it like once and never again

Was it in is2?

[halcyon flame]

3

[prime mountain]

yeah its just is3

Idk what they were thinking man

My ocd cant take this

Release the module!!!

[lofty quiver]

Did they give her the empty square too early?

[prime mountain]

Yeah

[lofty quiver]

That's just narantuya being in character

[prime mountain]

Goofy aaaah unit

[prime mountain]

!

But I just take the fight regardless

[slate hull]

f4 cannot, this might be a bit painful

[sly harness]

I'm honestly not sure how good the gvg matchup into it is

[prime mountain]

I believe bro

[still yoke]

you only fight if you take “know what”

[prime mountain]

Surely naran carry

[sly harness]

i think i played it once or twice, it wasn't bad but idk

[prime mountain]

What happens if he makes the seeds invulnerable?

Does it just do nothing?

[sly harness]

i think so, just nothing

okey they will deal 3,5k damage

just bait them

and it will be nothing

[prime mountain]

Ok well this fucker just talisman'd me right as I was about to kill the dragons

grrr

He fucking did it again

Still clear its fine

[carmine token]

gvg into 0 guard voacher

[prime mountain]

gvg reed open????

Also inferior reed skin smh

[carmine token]

tis what a borrowed

[prime mountain]

Remove from friend list immediately!!!!

[carmine token]

game gave me +25% atk for guard, rock horn n bloodbath 😭😭😭

just trolling atp

[sly harness]

5 stacks stir fry and 2 stacks Bells on f4

Def/Sup so broken

[prime mountain]

I only have one of each and need this for ed2 node

Leeeeeeeeeets go gambling

[sly harness]

[prime mountain]

Nah I'm cooked unless giga ed2 highroll

[sly harness]

i see Stir-Fry you are surly fine

[prime mountain]

2 stacks only...

[arctic panther]

did you win

[prime mountain]

Cause need to fish for ed2 now

[sly harness]

more then my average, that is 0

[prime mountain]

Ok well what are we betting on now

Top turmoil?

Bottom turmoil?

The unclearable rng doubt?

[slate hull]

my bet is on right above the doubt node

but left side also seems good

[sly harness]

ass Bosky wtf, 15 Candles needed to check each node (if I counted correctly)

[exotic tangle]

This any good chat

[prime mountain]

50% atk is 50% atk but condition is kinda meh

It was not top turmoil

[sly harness]

Fisherman encouter cope

[prime mountain]

Yep or bosky > pathfind on f5!!!

[sly harness]

[prime mountain]

You stole mine!!!!!!!!!!

Run is over

How do you deal with the 12 hope doubt anyway just like, dont draft anyone? enter on f3 just to clear it?

[sly harness]

Ignited Beastkite from f1 is so good

[prime mountain]

Now imagine if you got liu-er

[sly harness]

Hym, usually if you get a good run you can get the Hope for it in the f3 Bosky

Since you draft your core f1/f2

And then the next pathfinder is on f4

So you can save hope between them

But usually I don't really focus on it that much and just draft stuff as I go

But the weird part is not having risk coins

Like pick this stuff as often as you can

You can even gamble a bit with not throwing away movement speed/RES

[pure oyster]

Is there a reasonable strategy for emergency lecture with this setup?

[sly harness]

just try to burst the boss when he does the first circle

Exu should do fine

and then redeploy your stuff to avoid the teleportation

remember that he has damage taken reduction when he holds the ball, so bait his attacks

you can use Raidian summons to break the coffins after retreating you units

[pure oyster]

Oh I didn’t know about the damage taken reduction. Could I bait attacks with the summons?

[sly harness]

yes

[pure oyster]

Last attempt went really poorly when he teleported everyone

[sly harness]

retreat your units before he telports them

have some units to cover the down time of your original setup

[pure oyster]

Which raidian skill would you use

[midnight summit]

I'm scared

[sly harness]

she will be there just to break the coffins and bait the boss so S2 should be fine

[astral sentinel]

Uhhh what
SA solos d12 buddha

[midnight summit]

I mean my squad is pretty fine for the wang but im still scared since no sp chargers. I'll leak half of them i have 30 lp

I messed up fuck

I knew it

My hoshi got stunned

[topaz gazelle]

I'm doing the ed4 push for is3, and I'm pretty stumped by what happened.

I kept missing one jellyfish to phase the boss (tested on multiple runs). I did basically exactly as the guide did. I matched up an in game screenshot with the same time as the guide video (guide video left image, my screenshot right image)

There is this one bottom right jellyfish, which I presume is the extra one that didn't get consumed, which is messing things up. The thing is, neither me, nor the guide video, interactive with the bottom lane at all during the first part, so I'm really confused how there is an extra leaked jellyfish

[sly harness]

@inland elbow

[inland elbow]

Do you have any movement speed down relics?

[topaz gazelle]

Idts, and this happened on id say 3-4 runs, so I feel it's unlikely

[inland elbow]

Also is the problem here that you want to acid cancel or just that it’s not feeding as fast as you want to?

[topaz gazelle]

Im not sure the name, but I need the boss to eat the last jelly so it phases, and then I can set up my defence after it does the 4x aoe

And then I push

The video I watched has the boss already phased at this point

[inland elbow]

If that's the case you just want it to feed faster

[dusk creek]

the number of jellies in one of the bottom waves at the start varies

[inland elbow]

If you continue the run the jellyfish go into izumik anyways so it's delayed but it'll phase anyways

But yeah there's spawn rng

[dusk creek]

there's also rng in the number of jellies from top left

so most likely the guide fed more because it got more jellies

[midnight summit]

Chalice f1

[topaz gazelle]

【【水月肉鸽】简简单单，新时代推坑！-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/3DF5Qjs

This was the video I watched for reference. I did most of it step by step, and I counted the top jellies and I'm pretty sure it matches the video

I assumed this would be a stable setup tho? Rather than rng dependent

[tiny moss]

Are there any needed collectibles to unlock for is3 d18? Is mind over matter opener bad

[severe oasis]

i would not use MoM on d18

[tiny moss]

I keep getting unknown treasures

[inland elbow]

Looks like a bog standard fast feed yeah

I ela mine 3 times instead of wasting my ines deploy there though

[inland elbow]

Mind over matter is bad yeah

[topaz gazelle]

I just have no idea why the numbers aren't lining up for me. The top jellies definitely did all get eaten. It's just the bottom one which I spotted this time that leaked

[inland elbow]

Would recommend e2 exu start on specialist caster or using people squad

It's just rng how many jellyfish spawn

Either way in ur screenshot it'll phase soon enough

[topaz gazelle]

This was just d0 cus I needed to test my mechanics

[severe oasis]

i mean for push does it matter how fast it phases? (i have never done push strat)

[inland elbow]

It doesn't matter that much yeah

[topaz gazelle]

Is it just rng tho? There was no mention of rng in the video or in comments at all

[dusk creek]

the number of jellies also means the position of the jellies as well

[inland elbow]

(That's because this video isn't that optimized)

[dusk creek]

like if jellies 3 and 4 are rng, jelly 3 spawning vs jelly 4 spawning can result in different arrival timing

[topaz gazelle]

If it doesn't phase, I can't set down my ops to defend against jellies, cus I think the aoe triggers when it phases

[dusk creek]

even if 3 jellies spawn in both cases

[inland elbow]

Yes, but it'll phase

It's just delayed by like 10s

Not a big deal

[severe oasis]

you can leak a couple

no big deal

[inland elbow]

I wouldn't put ines field down there to avoid the situation where the top left jellyfish don't reach izumik in time

[topaz gazelle]

I still need to set up my ops after it phases right? Because if I set down any, they will just die to the 4x aoe during phase transition

[inland elbow]

Yes

If you did the fast feed procedure it'll phase pretty quickly

Then just wait for it to use its skill 4 times and put ur ops down

Depending on the operator, you can place on the 3rd skill usage instead

Like wis

[topaz gazelle]

Is there any other procedures for fast feed, besides just doing clear 3 jellies, and the weedy stall on top + slow on top

[inland elbow]

There's a lot of different fast feed procedures

[prime mountain]

If you wanna get funky with it you've got a ton of options yeah

[inland elbow]

They all fundamentally do the same thing

It's just stall top left jellyfish so they go into izumik

How you accomplish that is up to you

[topaz gazelle]

Yea I can stall top left no problem. And bottom left is just rng I guess

[inland elbow]

It's rng but it's not meaningful rng in this case

It'll phase quickly regardless

[topaz gazelle]

I don't remember in my run precisely, but it felt a lot longer than 10s. From the tile on my screenshot, it actually took I think 2 diagonal moves before it phased

I could be misremembering but still

It never phased in the middle tile (screenshot tile)

[inland elbow]

That's probably because you ines fielded the jellyfish so they didn't go in

Like I said, don't use ines there

[prime mountain]

You were on low diff too right? there's a movement speed debuff at higher diff no?

[inland elbow]

Oh that too

Actually that clears up why the bottom jellyfish didn't go in

[topaz gazelle]

So if I stall top too much, it can still miss? I thought the top path will cross through the boss in the center

[severe oasis]

its at pretty low diff iirc

like d8

[topaz gazelle]

Oh fair enough maybe

[severe oasis]

but if doing on d0 well

[inland elbow]

They did it on d0

[severe oasis]

yeah

[topaz gazelle]

Yea I was on d0 to test and get medals. I'll test on d8 then next time

[inland elbow]

No they go over izumik specifically on the tile in the screenshot

So if you stall too much with like ines field, they miss because izumik goes onto the next tile

[topaz gazelle]

Oh yea that's fair enough. I just meant that as long as the top left jelly's cross over as the boss is still on the center tile, it is fine

[severe oasis]

movement speed down is truly the worst thing in IS

[prime mountain]

Fear relics...

[topaz gazelle]

And it did happen in all my runs. I think in my d0 runs it failed cus of the ms debuff

And on my failed d18 runs I might have lowkey killed one of the jellies with my weedy, but I don't remember

[severe oasis]

weedy killing a jellyfish on d18

[topaz gazelle]

It had the buff from the survivors pact? (The book that buffs 20% per combat)

[inland elbow]

Next time you play, just record it and I can point out what you may have missed

[topaz gazelle]

Sry I don't know a lot of English names

[severe oasis]

[topaz gazelle]

But it's either weedy killed it cus she had a lot of buffs, or I didn't slow properly

Either way im planning to test my mechanics on lower diff before trying d18 again

[severe oasis]

oh the movement speed buff is on d7 not d8

same thing really

when im practicing stuff like that i just play on like 12

[sly harness]

Weedy killing is very unlikely since she is only pushing them she isn't even hitting them

Great comp completely not an insane highroll

[open finch]

Weedy could kill if you had civilight eterna

And had too much fun with flames

Not speaking from experience

[sly harness]

[prime mountain]

retry of shame

[sly harness]

Okey this one surviving is new to me

[prime mountain]

I got lazy and just activated leizi s2 too early

[gaunt bay]

Hi love

<3

[severe oasis]

hi kiwi cat :3

[prime mountain]

Omg its kiwi!!!

[sly harness]

But I know that the second one can survive if you try to Escape Crane + Ente S3 the Statuegeist

[prime mountain]

Who would do such a thing for 4 ingots???

(guilty)

[muted skiff]

this is why i prefer sussuro

[prime mountain]

but she isnt yan...

You get cockblocked once in a doubt node and never again

[sly harness]

And Purestream is your goto ed3 healer

[muted skiff]

mostly 1hp , 50 ingots , X max hp , and 12 + hope

i feel like yan cocblock is pretty rare

i have haruka for healings

i dont do trag

[sly harness]

I haven't encountered any run-ending issues with Purestream yet (I did 39 gvg runs)

I do Angelian

[prime mountain]

Like even the issue above was entirely skill issue on me

let the record show

[sly harness]

Much better in ed3

And can help/solve left so I can add damage to Sui with Leizi

[muted skiff]

sussuro for f2 f3 candlefight

[prime mountain]

Who tf does f3 candlefight and purestream roberta clears all of them under normal circumstances for leizi so

[muted skiff]

that 1 time purestream cant keep my op alive is the time i ditch her for sus

[sly harness]

Wait till you can't kill the f1 dog because of not having status resistance

(tbf no idea whether it is a real thing but I noticed it being a bit helpful once)

[prime mountain]

How did I just realise leizi s1 goes crazy with training lightning rod

am I stupid

[muted skiff]

is rare to see extra in is6 , i think they lowered the rate

[muted skiff]

try saga s2

best vanguard

[prime mountain]

Brother

[muted skiff]

[prime mountain]

Nobody is running saga in any year

ever

Naran s1 meta...

!

I love manually canceling a skill every 5 seconds...

[muted skiff]

get dream

make it auto

[prime mountain]

Sorry leizi you're useless now

[sly harness]

Hym, maybe I will limit test the 40% HP Pathfinder fight to so exactly when it will become promatic with just Purestream Roberta

[prime mountain]

Cant you just math it out....

Time to spreadsheet

[sly harness]

True

[prime mountain]

This doesnt work on naran s1 maybe she's a fraud

[muted skiff]

theres also one thing good about sus

her s2 starts with 0 initial

means 50% sp cut doesnt eff her

[prime mountain]

im so fucked

[sly harness]

But where are you using her after like f2

[muted skiff]

f2 f3 f4 pathfinder fights

[prime mountain]

Why does bro do so many pathfind fights

Bells highroller

[muted skiff]

free battle that lights your operator up

[prime mountain]

Ok but then you waste the hope from vouchers...

And only light 1

[muted skiff]

i dont die on random stage

those who save voucher might die to random emergency

or encounter

[prime mountain]

I do that

and rarely die en route

IS6 stages kinda easy

[muted skiff]

if it works its a good strats

i dont like saving vouchers

maybe 1 or 2

and redeem it via bosky

[prime mountain]

Well I can only save 3 because no raidian

so

[muted skiff]

so i have 5 candleguest

i dont feel safe if i dont have few e2s on hand

so yea , spend hope and light from fights

[prime mountain]

Entel leizi + relics clears like every stage pre f5 its kinda funny

[sly harness]

and how do you handle ed3 if you use all pathfinders for fights?

[prime mountain]

me when no pathfind f6...

[muted skiff]

scout node and 1 or 2 voucher

[sly harness]

also let's assume

• f3 Pathfinder = no Bosky
• no f6 Pathfinder

you don't get Scouts that often

[muted skiff]

f3 depends

its rougelike , i dont do 100 run with same strats everytime

[prime mountain]

Sure?

We ball

[sly harness]

she can survive the stomps

[prime mountain]

And I have lam- wait, brilliant lament doesnt work on ed2 right?

[severe oasis]

peak operator wow

[prime mountain]

Is that still bugged?

[muted skiff]

now get her her sig

• charge set

[sly harness]

What I care about is the approach that will most effectively allow you to win 23

[severe oasis]

dmg relics being bugged against like the tankiest pre-dlc boss in IS is crazy

actually does it havem ore than quilon

idk

[sly harness]

so like f3 Pathfinder is usally a skip because you need to guarantee finding ed2 in Bosky

[prime mountain]

yeah like 200k more iirc

[severe oasis]

i knew they were both around 2m

[muted skiff]

i mostly do fights in pathfinder , if i feel like i need more operator/weak relic/bad coin , i save voucher

[muted skiff]

f3 bosky only give you 3 steps

[prime mountain]

That is a lot for consistency

[sly harness]

can be very important

you have to assume you won't get f5 bosky

and you don't have Raidian to help you with Bosky

[cold fjord]

just play dlc2 and you have raidian

[sly harness]

also f3 Pathfinder fight is 1 Candleguest. Bosky can be 1 Candlguest + 2 steps in Bosky

[green sable]

Hello gamers, I’m trying to clean up IS#4 but ain’t can for the life of me unlock this frontier memoir entry. Is the unlock condition somehow different than what’s stated or is it bugged or smth? For clarity I have cleared ED3 at least 2 times without operators on seedbed tiles being retreated or dying

[sly harness]

let me live in my own beautiful world where I can ignore her

[prime mountain]

Are you using summons or units that redeploy like ulpianus or mon3tr

[inland elbow]

Summons count

[muted skiff]

still depends on what squad i play

[green sable]

[muted skiff]

tianshi i just fight through every pathfinder

[green sable]

Wiš’adel’s cancer crystals are to blame then ig

[prime mountain]

Yep very likely

[sly harness]

also the thing i don't like in early Pathfinder fights is that some wraints will be hard to survive if your operator is not broken like Leizi, Hoshi, Exu, Raidian

[muted skiff]

this is why i do sus

also non class squad you pretty much need 1 or 2 of these

[green sable]

I’ll do it again without her I guess

[sly harness]

I mean, I'm only talking about class squad, I haven't played other Raidian less, so I don't know what it's like there

[sly harness]

nah there are some variants where she won't help

[tiny moss]

1 or 2 knight ending is3

[prime mountain]

Flames always

[tiny moss]

Wait my knight died

[prime mountain]

its broken af

[tiny moss]

Okay

[sly harness]

like the golem, you may not kill him in time and sus does nothing

[muted skiff]

3 originium golem you just hands off

1 og golem you stall

[prime mountain]

You guys think Nymph with -40% sp auto skill and training lightning rod can solo 2 of the minibosses on 4 difficulties

[muted skiff]

yea probly

[sly harness]

or this

[prime mountain]

me when leizi just hovers

!

[sly harness]

ye but there are only a few units who can relibly handle them

[muted skiff]

i dont selfban

non class squad

you dont have insta e2 tic

[sly harness]

so we play a slightly different game

[muted skiff]

you pick things from what they give

also i rob f1 shop always

[prime mountain]

So close to all 4, damn

[muted skiff]

90+% win rate against f2 pathfinder

[sly harness]

f2 Pathfinder with a "broken" unit is not a problem

even relicless

[muted skiff]

my shop doesnt sell 2 ticket per page so yea

i cant choose

class squad you have your class ticket and sometimes insta e2

ofc you redeem them

2 own class e2 you have no problem with non bosky stage

non class you need more fights to get more ticket for operator

[sly harness]

for context, are you using Raidian?

[muted skiff]

2 plan start no , else yes

for context which class squad are you playing ?

and which operator did you self ban

[sly harness]

Mainly gvg, but I cleared some runs with Cast/Spec and Def/Sup

I ban Raidian Exu and Wis

And I am only playing 2 + 3

[muted skiff]

i dont pick trag , wis , exu

the only diff is raidian then

[prime mountain]

The most impactful one really

[muted skiff]

same

2 + 3 same

[prime mountain]

Do I tempt another reroll right before ed2? 0 spec vouchers whole run I cry

Imma be real idk how I can clear left side

Cause I need leizi for boss dps

[sly harness]

Maybe just restart

[prime mountain]

I believe in infinite skill nymph bro

[sly harness]

But she will die right after casting her skill

[prime mountain]

Nuh huh bro, necrosis gives -50% atk temporarily!

[sly harness]

Unless you have infinite HP

[prime mountain]

Do you see the vision

Wait hold up, temp flint to push the furniture on left side

crazy tech

[sly harness]

6k damage still

[prime mountain]

(its so fucked)

[sly harness]

[muted skiff]

it reduce to 0 slowly

[sly harness]

With Rose Salt maybe

[prime mountain]

Right but for specifically ed2, the stomps are gonna be immediately when she procs it

[sly harness]

But your only sustain is Shub

[prime mountain]

Shu with -40% sp and training lightning rod

basically infinite uptime

I can make this work maybe

SHE LIVES

BROKEN

[sly harness]

And now you will die on the left

[prime mountain]

Nah nymph has infinite skill you forgot

[sly harness]

Or in the best case scenario you will time out

[prime mountain]

I die because timeout because 0 dps ya

[severe oasis]

how broken is nymph

[prime mountain]

Cause auto skill leizi is basically non existent dps

[gaunt bay]

Meow

[sly harness]

Is your Ente S3?

[severe oasis]

meow more

[gaunt bay]

Mreeeeeeeow

[sly harness]

You should probably Ente S3 for the boss

[prime mountain]

S2 I needed her for left side furniture, couldve maybe done leizi s3 there instead? honestly run is fucked

[severe oasis]

good girl

[sly harness]

And Leizi S3 left

[muted skiff]

any good e1 that can carry you through non class squad

[gaunt bay]

[sly harness]

Ente S3 is a great damage skill against Sui

[muted skiff]

[prime mountain]

Yeah no its fucked

Negative dps

Wtf are these tickets

Flint was 5* pre e2 temp from f1 encounter btw

[sly harness]

There will be a bit more post dlc1

For now you will need to cope something

[gaunt bay]

We should make out…

[sly harness]

Ente e1 can rob f1 Shop if you roll -30% HP coin

[severe oasis]

okay when and where

[muted skiff]

this is why you need raidian/exu

[sly harness]

Hoshi should survive f1, she won't rob the shop but is great into f2 Bosky if you promote her

[gaunt bay]

Bro is playing endfield

[prime mountain]

Nymph in endfield???????

[gaunt bay]

Now, in my bed

[prime mountain]

You heard it here first

[muted skiff]

i can see nara keeping left side clear , but i cant see how she gonna survive

[gaunt bay]

She looks like Yvonne

[muted skiff]

[gaunt bay]

🤫

[prime mountain]

Kiwi did you forget to take your meds

How tf they look the same

[gaunt bay]

Yeah I have all the mods paid off

Sorry

I own the mod team

[muted skiff]

how

[severe oasis]

ako mods are submissive

[tiny moss]

GOD I THREW MY GOD RUN BY GETTING MY KNIGHT KILLED IN THE BOSKYS PASSAGE

[sly harness]

Knight? Bosky passage?

[tiny moss]

Whatever I beat d18 I’ll come back for the three endings later. When I do what collectibles should I unlock? Like the flames thing I had

[tiny moss]

Yeah it wasn’t even the boss or an emergency he died in a normal mode

Node

They gave me a like 30 collectibles for some reason. I also got exualter as temporary recruitment for 0 lol. I had like 160 aspd buff

What collect should I unlock for Izumik d18? I’m not using weedy or Angelina

[muted skiff]

uh

flash sword ?

[tiny moss]

Oh that’s what I had in a run just few minutes ago lol

[halcyon flame]

kngiht doesnt follow you into wonderland

[tiny moss]

Is there operators that like don’t uhhhhh skill like

Like when exualter or wisadel have their skill on they can’t gain SP

Are there operators that do significant aoe damage that can still gain tons of SP immediately after using their skill

[tiny moss]

Rly it must have died right before

[muted skiff]

siege s2

[tiny moss]

I’m trying to get someone rly good with the flames collectibles

[muted skiff]

but siege s2 doesnt do dmg

sadly

wait , theres saga

saga s2

[tiny moss]

I’ll look thru my operator list when I come back to is3 I don’t have these upgraded

[muted skiff]

the best operator for flame is pretty much weedy s3

but you dont wan to pick her

sadly

[sudden cloak]

Is it the +2sp one whenever you hit seaborn?

[tiny moss]

Ya

[sudden cloak]

Passenger is good

[halcyon flame]

not at d18 no, do not

[sudden cloak]

Yeaa he need that -12 res thingy to be good sadly

Sakiko s3 lingering notes also provide that sp

[inland elbow]

lemuen

sakiko is terrible in is3

angelina also farms sp off of flames

but you don't want to use her for some reason

ascalon doesn't do much damage but has insane uptime on skill

[tiny moss]

Tyty yeah I’m just using the aoe operators

[tiny moss]

Ooh that sounds fun

[tiny moss]

Lemuen sounds good too. Will try when I get flames again

[raw vault]

chat what's the angle here?

[slate hull]

did you already pick the bottom route?

rip 5 candles

[prime mountain]

just take 2 fights and straight to wonderland

N E V E R skip f2 wonderland

[raw vault]

I have enough coupons

[slate hull]

ah, I didn't see the vertical, in that case the 5 candles are saved

[raw vault]

so f2 wonderland always better than emergency?

[sinful sparrow]

wonderland fights always give 1(2) relics, and 2(1) coupons, on top on 8 ingots and a tongbao choice sometimes

so it's really huge in terms of econ

[slate hull]

doubts give you 1-2 relics, lots of retrieve nodes for vouchers/ingots and life points, legend nodes can go crazy

and you even get trade nodes, there is so much value you can get out of those candles

[fickle jungle]

should have choosen the path into wonderland instead of spending 3 coupons here

[prime mountain]

5 candles is like 2 emergencies at worst possible scenario

unless worst possible scenario is you fucking up a fight 5 times

[sinful sparrow]

i've seen someone did that

and believe me

it's so painful to look at

🥹

[faint rampart]

💀

[tiny moss]

What’s the max floor to get the first node of ending 2-4 for IS3

[pure oyster]

What’s the stage called in IS6 with a bunch of drunks and cars and you get ingots for pushing them into the pits

[remote badger]

cliff of geists

[pure oyster]

Thank you

[remote badger]

i think

[remote badger]

1 to 4 i think

[pure oyster]

I kept clicking on nodes on the wiki and couldn’t find it lol

[tiny moss]

WHATT YOU CAN DO 4?

[remote badger]

its an encounter based combat

[remote badger]

no hol up

first node of 2-4?

1

usually

[tiny moss]

No like first step of any of the non usual endings

Skadi knight or um izumik

Only 1? I think 2 also right

Ok so I just quit if not in first two

[remote badger]

you will usually see it on f1

sometimes 2

[tiny moss]

Kk

[rotund copper]

I'm so smart

[woeful anchor]

3

[woeful anchor]

sorry the guy misinfoed u

L

[tiny moss]

Tyty

[tiny moss]

Should I be leveling up 3, 4, or 5 stars for IS4+?

[woeful anchor]

3 star for is4
4 star 5 star for is5
4 star for is6

[tiny moss]

Dang so all

[crystal niche]

damn needa draft nymph asap

[lofty quiver]

: (

[flint token]

it isnt until quilon and evilmiya that we have unfearable

[flint token]

Looks good, no?

[crystal niche]

whats wrong?

[lofty quiver]

They put the pathfinder BEHIND the weird bosky thing

I only have two candle people

[flint token]

Well you have like 1 voucher anyway

[crystal niche]

u can just

not go into the bosky

[lofty quiver]

But the I miss the pathfinder thing

[flint token]

save the candles for f4 bro

[crystal niche]

no go that path

but save candles

[flint token]

go into bosky node, take candle but dont enter

[lofty quiver]

If I save the vouchers I won't be able to fight this midboss very well

[crystal niche]

which map is it

[lofty quiver]

Idk

[crystal niche]

u can see at the end

[lofty quiver]

Ah, it's the one I always get that sucks really bad

I've still never seen that third midboss

[flint token]

oh so moon lady, should be easy no?

[lofty quiver]

Idk who that is

Sword glaive spear

[flint token]

Do you have raidian

[lofty quiver]

No

No supporter vouchers, just like last run

[flint token]

damn bro’s legit running tourney bans

[lofty quiver]

And she isn't e2 yet anyways

[flint token]

just borrow her idfk

[lofty quiver]

No supporter vouchers

[flint token]

all your heart desires?

[lofty quiver]

Yeah

[flint token]

damn bro’s playing the maso deck

honestly this is kinda incredible

[lofty quiver]

I'm not gonna pull the same starting squad every run, this mode is only fun when it's got some random to it

[flint token]

Fair ig

[lofty quiver]

Raidian can't be the ONLY way to fight in this

I just wish I could have redeemed another candle op or two before going in

[flint token]

well you can spend 3 vouchers in the candle bearer node so it’s fine

it’s d1 midboss they’re all pushover

[lofty quiver]

I'm not gonna hit that node since it's in a bad spot, that's the trouble

[flint token]

aside from alternate fisherman

[lofty quiver]

Fisherman is fine

[flint token]

aka literally satan

[lofty quiver]

Oh, alternate
