is-station

[eternal wadi]

but also need 12 candles right?

for the doubts

[quick steppe]

the tavern sells candles for 30 ingots each

good idea to save candles in f5 bosky

[eternal wadi]

do i need to save coupons for something?

[quick steppe]

rerolling tongbao i suppose
tavern also has a 1 time option to buy candles with coupons

[eternal wadi]

great

i think my squad strong enough

also about 4 block, do i just get cuora

[quick steppe]

usually i hear matterhorn

since he has the 4 block module i think

[eternal wadi]

well i need him e2 for that

[quick steppe]

the scout will promote...

[faint rampart]

^

how doable is this

[eternal wadi]

(i dont have him upgraded to e2)

[rich thorn]

just s3

[eternal wadi]

do i need to upgrade matterhorn module

idk if he needs the res

[rich thorn]

just +1 block, thats all

[faint rampart]

oh

i thought it was cat spam or something

[outer cliff]

How do i kill lucian at diff 13+

[ionic kestrel]

mon3, lemuen

[rich thorn]

s2 gut with -cd stuff, with sp regen s3 is the goat

can cage feramuts

can cage token too

dont even need a blocker

[faint rampart]

dont feramuts just go levitate?

/hover mb

[outer cliff]

For reforged sceptre am i gonna need to keep pathing for safe houses the whole time or is there a better way to maintain lp

[faint rampart]

whatever tf is called flying

[rich thorn]

for whatever reason, cages are not meele units

[pure oyster]

ooh pepe temp recruitment

[rich thorn]

idk how that works, but even during hover cages blocking em

[faint rampart]

📝 ooh so trag should be pretty good again

[rich thorn]

welp, he is cc

good cc

not damage dealer ofk, but gut

[faint rampart]

i mean relevance in ed2-3

[quick steppe]

playing leakless the whole run 👍

[rich thorn]

for 2-3 i think he is meh

for a2-4 he is gut

[outer cliff]

Even if i dont leak whatsoever, sitting at low hp and eating a -20% sp gain debuff sounds pretty suicidal

[quick steppe]

you dont see tree squad players complaining that they have to play all of is5 fractured :ya:
but also it's is2 there's close to nothing you can do

lovely design

[rich thorn]

game clearly tells me something

idk what

but something

[ionic kestrel]

goated risk coin

[pure oyster]

At the end of is3 (ed1) but somehow without a healer

[feral scroll]

which skill i level for when gnosis gets his module?

[tired wyvern]

I'm pretty sure ur okay

I just did a run without any for of healing as well

Necrass is built different

[pure oyster]

i had black tulip too

this is easy

[urban notch]

Anyone knows how the blooming flowers squad exploit work?

[pure oyster]

lemuen killed phase 1 in one skill activation, and exu2 killed phase 2 in one skill activation

black tulip is so good with ammo based skills jeez

[quick steppe]

maybe...

[rich thorn]

maybe...

[urban notch]

how

[gaunt bay]

ling

[rich thorn]

nope

stop lying about ling flower 😭

[faint rampart]

maybe there's a conversation about it in Isc chat
could read there

[quick steppe]

hard work

[flint token]

fuck me i forgot to buy the ed4 relic again

[fickle jungle]

Never doubt the goat squad

[urban notch]

Do you need interdependent luck if I want to do the exploit above D11?

[rich thorn]

yes

[oak crane]

Ling only run killed by this dogwater stage

literally 2 node and its the same stage but 1 is emergency 1 is not

[crude leaf]

what do these options do

first one seems obvious but the other two are uh?

[rich thorn]

2nd ed3, 3rd ed4

[crude leaf]

damn

[ashen cradle]

Best IS6 squad for high difficulty?

[outer cliff]

2 combat nodes is generally better than 1 encounter + emergency unless i specifically need encounters right

[sinful sparrow]

Currently Tactical Fortification

in ending 5 update it will be tianshi

[arctic panther]

wait we got another infinite loop?

[ashen cradle]

How about for speedrunning like the encounter node collectible on IS5?

[gray gull]

There's ending 5? 😭

[scenic saffron]

Yes in CN

[gray gull]

More Raidian missions?

[scenic saffron]

[sinful sparrow]

no extra raidian missions

[sinful sparrow]

doesnt exist 🚬

[eternal wadi]

d9 is6 fat cow (end4)

i got redeploy cd, dream curio, and defense shred coins. do i reroll

def shred isnt upgraded, i forgot to take 1 more candle

dis the squad
also i got chalice. around 200 ingots

[meager heath]

wow now that I went into ED4 knowing what to expect ts was easy lol

mount and sea really is the true boss stage

[wicked jungle]

bruh i just lost to mount and sea omfg

[eternal wadi]

whats mount and sea ?

[outer cliff]

A difficult f6 combat encounter i think?

[errant siren]

If it's Floor 6...

On IS6

Then it's legendary bullshit level

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1158049223351222312/1435872026228428950/IMG_6136.gif?ex=69c42348&is=69c2d1c8&hm=74b2a7cd511376f4f20f878b32a5933b89f1edd70d985f6b0db2f61bd6adeccd&

[eternal wadi]

oh that shit

fortunately enough i took ros and got some aspd

[midnight summit]

Tacfort? Damn

[late pecan]

Supporter gaming

[civic tinsel]

Is Swire Alter S1 worth the masteries for IS? I already M3 her S3

[sly harness]

It works fine without them and masteries gains are very low

[narrow cosmos]

Would it be dumb for me to level up Archetto and/or Mizuki exclusively for IS?

[slim hull]

What is the big bob certifcate battle name

[errant siren]

The Cannot Battle?

[slim hull]

Yh

[errant siren]

Which one wants to rob ya?)

[sly harness]

It won't be dumb, but when it comes to high end IS:

• Mizuki is strong but really a highest priority draft
• Archetto is niche and needs other operators (Angelina in IS2 to cheese ed4, Mon3tr in IS5 and Mon3tr and Saki in IS6)

[sly harness]

https://tomimi.dev/en/stages/ISW-SP_Of_Hundred_Forms

[narrow cosmos]

Fortunately I have both Saki and Mon3 leveled.

I've also heard she goes quite well with Hoederer skill 1.

Also, please elaborate on what you mean by Mizuki. Did you mean ISN'T a high priority draft?

[sly harness]

Not really, Hoderer is only used in IS5 Lamp and when he can work with Archetto I rather won't recommend him without the ASPD and when you have ASPD you don't need Archetto for him

[sly harness]

In terms of drafting, like he is strong but since there are a lot of good Specialists (and some of them are important boss solutions) you will take them usually before him and then you may not get enough vouchers for him

Like he is strong in IS4 but you will always take Exu and Ela over him

He is also strong in IS6 but again Exu is more important to take for ed2

[narrow cosmos]

Also btw. What's good 5 and 4* specialists?

[sly harness]

When it comes to 5* non, there are only some specific boss solutions like (IS3: shifters for Izumik, IS5 Project Red for ed5t3, IS6: Waai Fu for ed2) or comp specific picks like Tin Man in IS5 Lampless or Kafka in IS5 Soul Escort (she should be e0)

Ethan and Gravel are the best 4* options

[narrow cosmos]

Also what does Angelina IS module do? And is it worth getting

[gaunt bay]

It’s worth

It reduces weight and makes enemies that are levitated take DOT arts

The damage output is actually very strong

[outer cliff]

All the IS modules are cheap af anyway

[sly harness]

Makes her the best arts DPS in a game (better than Logos )
*the best range arts DPS (Hoshi is better)

And on top of that it has great cc and can solve hit count in IS6

[crystal niche]

Is it judt levitated? iirc weightless also applies

[sly harness]

Her mod is a general -1 weight, her S3 applies weightless status

[crystal niche]

No i meant the dot dmg

[sly harness]

Shifted or levitated enemies take it

[crystal niche]

[sharp harbor]

Is chestnut worth to just E1 for cheap elemental burst healing for IS?

[sick mason]

No

Even in IS5 and IS6 where 4* are free he's still 🚮

[sharp harbor]

[sinful sparrow]

ew chestnut is dogshit

either his elemental healing doesnt matter
or his elemental healing doesnt matter

[crystal niche]

Is purestream worth e2

Or just use in is6 for citizenship

[sick mason]

For a cheap medic she's actually good for E2 (in case u don't have much hope for other medics)

I know therapist medic have higher DP cost than any other medic class anyway

[crystal niche]

Mod worthy?

[sick mason]

Like most 4*, its optional

But if u want just lvl 1 mod is enough

[crystal niche]

[sick mason]

Her mod making her healing value no longer reduced is actually pretty gud

Since therapist medic only has 80% healing value on furthest range

[late pecan]

I considered if it's even worth the module

[civic tinsel]

In IS6 when you exit Sui’s Remnant midway do you get to keep however many candles you have left or are they all gonev

[sick mason]

Gone

So you really have to spend all of your candles

[sinful sparrow]

Pretty sure exiting will say all the remaining candles will be snuffed out

Or something

[spring sluice]

whats this

sorry i see pin

[civic tinsel]

Damn, I didnt even realize that despite already reaching D14

Are there any other ways to get more candles once you’re insde Sui’s Remnant (excluding the ED4 one)

[sinful sparrow]

It literally tells you that if you attempt to click on the candle number

[sharp harbor]

Got mantra in caster recruitment voucher lol

I don't own her

0 hope

[midnight summit]

Oh wait isnt it in tavern

If outside f6 ed4

Ling node

Some has trade trade for some candles

And rare relic with +2 candles

Tongbao with couple candles

[sly harness]

Generally you are not getting extra candles when you are inside the Bosky in an average run

Just take all Boskies en route + item from the shop you will get at least 20 Candles on first 4 floors

[sick mason]

Unless if u met Yi's encounter

Which is pretty rare tbh

[crystal niche]

Why are there 3 choices

[sick mason]

Because better than being constrained by 2

[crystal niche]

So

[sick mason]

Ofc the bottom 2 only gives 1 relic

While the top gives 2

[crystal niche]

Same thing then

[sick mason]

Yes but 3 choices better than 2 so that u don't get stuck so easily

Especially if the second option also involved spending 5 ingots and then toss 1 risk or 1 flower coin omg

[crystal niche]

True

[errant siren]

*middle one also 1

It's just easier to bypass since 3 conditions

[sick mason]

I did say bottom 2 actually means the bottom and middle choice

Forgot to include that

[crystal niche]

Best choice?

[sly harness]

2nd

[gusty aurora]

Guys can i win the sword glaive spear boss with this squad ?

[sinful sparrow]

Easily

If you lose I am shaming you

[sonic sable]

This 4 star agent worth pulling for is?

[gusty aurora]

I won

I had to wait until the next wave actually came

[crystal niche]

no

[gusty aurora]

Not really she is just a diet puzzle

[sly harness]

kinda... she is not good but is free and can be used in IS5 and probably dlc2 IS6 (high ASPD allows her to print DP and 2 Agents can replace fast redeployment opertor in ed2/ed5)

[gusty aurora]

She is a 4 star so she is pretty cheap the only positives i can think of is deploying her to hit a tanky stationary thing like statue giests

In that regard she is pretty dang cool

[remote badger]

her s1 is offrec

[gusty aurora]

Also if you happen to have the -40% Sp risk coin that also auto activates all skills and more sp things shr can straight up loop S2

Ye s2 just never ends

Shr would be just printing DP faster than mytrle funnly enough

But still my best bet is that you don't rely on her much without buffs

[remote badger]

sometimes i just straight up forgotting vanguards

up to the point of not bringing them into bosses

[reef anchor]

do the wisadel summons give her a buff with this item?

[remote badger]

summons!=operators so no

[sinful sparrow]

mf did not see the “Operator” there

[remote badger]

adding a "being able to read" flag to my local ai would be a great idea

[slate hull]

yeah, I think they use the word units if it is a universal relic, otherwise it is operators/summons

[remote badger]

if it says all allies then it's really summons and operators

[ivory snow]

whoa

first time seeing this guy

[flint token]

does doro have any megamind niche tech in is6 that im not aware of

[sick mason]

No

[sly harness]

i think she can stack Raidian's Handheld Console

[steel relic]

She will but can’t actually benefit from it herself

[sly harness]

you are doing it just to buff Raidian

[narrow cosmos]

Raidian Console stacks for other operators. (Dorothy doesn't get buffed)

Apart from that, she's decent just as Dorothy. Stalling good

[paper notch]

technically if you get lucky and have the yi pathing where he moves straight down she can be used for stalling him. i dont think that's a good idea tho

[steel relic]

But using Raidian assigns you certified fraud status

[sly harness]

I use Raidian fet ed4 badges on all these random starting squads (I'm too lazy to play bans on non-meta things)

ikik i am a fraud

[crisp scaffold]

Frauds 🥀

[paper notch]

[sly harness]

Amiya x5

(btw don't keep these vouchers if you know they are useless)

[crystal niche]

imagine pram2

[sharp harbor]

In SA alt patch, Kal'tsit will be added in recruitment, wanna get her there for IS

[crisp scaffold]

Then what am I gonna use in Pathfinder floor 2??

[sharp harbor]

[sly harness]

fight

for coin + collectible + voucher (may be useful)

[rancid pilot]

Out of curiosity, is triple ending is6 already possible since ending 4 is on floor 7

[sly harness]

no

[rancid pilot]

was worth asking since ending 3 and 4 are on different floors

[sly harness]

and this floor 7 info is a fake

[rancid pilot]

it's XII

go check yourself

[crystal niche]

that's 12

[rancid pilot]

ah

[crystal niche]

it's not a V

[rancid pilot]

i misremembered roman numerals again

so it's floor 12

[sharp harbor]

[steel relic]

[remote badger]

possible in dlc2

usually

[muted skiff]

which one is better

uhh , which one of these you ppl pick most ？

[remote badger]

i pick hope usually

[shy solar]

in scout for sending operators to the scrolls, they will be unavailable for the entire run?

[muted skiff]

yup

it active again when you re-obtain

[shy solar]

so only on 6th floor where they appear again? and is this scout could only send one op at a time or you could do batch?

they are promoted too right after sent to the scrolls?

[muted skiff]

wait

i miss read

you mean ed4 ?

[paper notch]

1 at a time and they come promoted at boss fight

you cant use them till the boss fight ye

[shy solar]

maan iits such a hustle for a mid fight

[paper notch]

it's not that bad

[muted skiff]

dont f6 have a bosky for it

[paper notch]

yk the tavern node in the special bosky?

you can get a lot of candles from it

and from the bosky you can send the ops you want sent

main thing is a 4 block blocker is kinda important for this

[shy solar]

so if i obtained the collectible at f3 i could only sent 2 ops for the final battle? i think i misunderstood the ending here

since scout only appears at f3 or f4

[paper notch]

scout node is mainly used to allow you to do ed4 fight

once you've used it once and put 1 operator into the scroll, you are able to do ed4 now

the rest of the ops is better to send them from the ed4 special bosky

[sly harness]

Robbing f6 in ed4 run looks fun

[remote badger]

the squad doesn't looks fun at all

[sly harness]

i have 90 collectibles, i will be fine

[shy solar]

ah man, now i have sent my main dps into the scout node.

[faint rampart]

ni

[remote badger]

[remote badger]

u can send saki

[faint rampart]

i cant copy with all these high invest 4*🥀

[shy solar]

i dont use sakiko shes too complicated to use

[remote badger]

her ass is simple

have e2

then s3

done

[night mauve]

forgot m3

[remote badger]

trust me sl7 can work

[sly harness]

My first Bells post dlc1 and I wasn't even able to stack them because I got them from f6 shop

[amber pawn]

ulpianus: hmm, toasty

[remote badger]

deep fried fish

[amber pawn]

literally lol

first time figting the guy wth

[thorny sierra]

is there any trick to find the collectible for 2nd ending or we just blind pick the nodes?

[steel relic]

It’s always within the center 5x5

[rich thorn]

you can actually find it with that relic

from the encounter btw

[sly harness]

33 leaks and 27 enemies in the stage

[rich thorn]

but its random too

[thorny sierra]

it's not guaranteed which encounter have it right?

[sly harness]

It is a special node

Oh it was about the encounter

[rich thorn]

from what i saw, its pretty common on f2

[sly harness]

Unreliable

[rich thorn]

not guaranteed ofk

just common

[sly harness]

Just get the Bosky on every floor and you will have enough candles to easily find the decision node

[rich thorn]

anyways, scout relics are pretty good, can save candles during your searching of turmoils or plan

[amber pawn]

i notice that the balance randomly increases everynow and then without me even investing. any idea on why?

[remote badger]

u get 5 investment per successful runs

[amber pawn]

oh i never knew that. nice

does that apply to other IS?

[sly harness]

Now it can be 15 iirc

No it is only for IS6

And it is from a skill tree

[sick mason]

Wow the clover fossil gives 3rd option in wish nodes

[main bison]

I hate IS6

All these operators, and not a single E2 except Sakiko

And Wisadel I guess

[old sage]

Is there a tutorial or gameplay about this?

[main bison]

But I didn't have the DP to even get her down

[old sage]

Holy i never knew or prepared about this stage

[sly harness]

it really shouldn't be hard with this squad

[arctic panther]

SHOULD BE?!?!

[faint rampart]

i don't remember mizuki dying on rob

[sly harness]

you can always choose to leak some initial enemies to get your good units down first

leak the dog or two place down Wis and gg ez

[sly harness]

-2 weight?

the 'Ink Brew' shouldn't be pulled iirc

[main bison]

It should never be hard, but it is, it's also why I quit doing IS for so long

The RNG is awful

[sly harness]

It's not about rng, it's about lack of knowledge.
rng is manageable when you know what you're doing.

[faint rampart]

oh yea

💀

broken relic but got killed🥀

[main bison]

Well, I'm an idiot

[slate hull]

wait, that is not robux

[sick mason]

What the actual

[eternal wadi]

do we call the mods?

[faint rampart]

no

we should join

✅

[crystal niche]

[slate hull]

anyway, on the topic of rng, arknights is a bit of a pain because you might need a lot of built operators to be able to play into specific relics/runs, but at the same time you also have some absolutely busted operators who just carry regardless, so I'd say if you are not banning anyone it shouldn't be much of a problem to get a run going

[ornate hare]

@iron orchid

[main bison]

Well, I've cleared endings 1-3 a few times in IS6, but I've always struggled with this one

IS4/5 were crazy, but fun, this is torture

[crystal niche]

what if, you don't have absolutely busted ops that carry anyway

[main bison]

And I hated IS3

[crystal niche]

[main bison]

Also, E1 Raidian sucks

[eternal wadi]

i did a silly test run while doing ling monthly operator thingy. i triggered ed4 before reaching pathfinder for ed3. and ed3 trigger doesnt appear. why cant we do triple endings man

[eternal wadi]

she gets the job done for f1 and f2 fights

[faint rampart]

as my goat would say
#is-station message

[slate hull]

yeah, that is kind of the issue, this is like a deckbuilder where you build the deck in an entirely separate part of the game, it is simultaneously really cool, but also terrible if you are new

[crystal niche]

[scenic saffron]

It's cuz both shared F6 and can't be there at the same time

[eternal wadi]

sorry if this offends anyone. but IS is designed to be end game content for ppl who chose to play arknights when bored, right?

[main bison]

This what I need for Ed4?

[main bison]

She used to, I dunno what happened lately, but she's fallen off

[crystal niche]

is 3 when it hits the only dps that i have with a curse

[main bison]

Basically, and no offense

[scenic saffron]

Triple ending exists but need ending 5 since it's floor 7

[eternal wadi]

noo we should have like 8 endings in a single run cuz ed4 floor6 has XII roman numeral

[crystal niche]

[eternal wadi]

that'd take an entire day to finish but it'd be silly

[sly harness]

not when double endings run take 2,5 houer+

[main bison]

F2 Bosky, what's the consensus?

[sly harness]

like triple ending runs in IS6 will take 3 houers+

[main bison]

I never really feel like I have enough candle ops to do anything

[sly harness]

get e2 Raidian + Amiya and clear as many Turmoils as possible

[crystal niche]

FAHHHHHH

[main bison]

You assume I have both of those

Which I don't

[errant siren]

People-Orientied

[sly harness]

this is the easiest duo to get

[eternal wadi]

since when is this a thing? i dont rember

[main bison]

She's still not E2

[sly harness]

Special or Def/Suo squads can force them

[crystal niche]

b-but i like dice

[sly harness]

oh wait

[errant siren]

[eternal wadi]

you take amiya ?

[sly harness]

low diffs?

[main bison]

D12

[crystal niche]

well ig i can take double safe house

[faint rampart]

💀

[sly harness]

okay no vochers

a bit sad

[errant siren]

Double Safe House is gud.

[sly harness]

so

[errant siren]

Higher chance for instaE2

[sly harness]

you can use Special or Def/Sup squad to force e2 Raidian

[errant siren]

[sly harness]

that is why those squads are the best

[faint rampart]

using caster vouchers😢

[main bison]

Literally all I have

[eternal wadi]

its not even guaranteed anyway

[main bison]

I'm not getting any turmoils done with that

[sly harness]

ye

this can't clear anything

[eternal wadi]

i assume u get antique casting thing that promotes 3 ops?

[crystal niche]

almost no candlelit damn

[sly harness]

very often

[main bison]

I'm trying to at least do ed1 with all squads

[main bison]

How it usually goes

[paper notch]

just save your candles for later then. no need to enter bosky floor 2

[main bison]

Like, I obviously don't have a full handle on this

[sly harness]

now like 3-5 on f2

[main bison]

3-5 what?

[sly harness]

Candleguest

[main bison]

Fails on the same stage?

Yeah, how?

[paper notch]

it's a bit weird to only have 2 candle lit at floor 2

[sly harness]

oh

[main bison]

Not happening

[sly harness]

candles per Turmoil

[eternal wadi]

i mean if somehow lucky and get e2 raidian by f1 shop, f2 bosky is very possible

[sly harness]

1 max 2

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1K68AzmE27

[main bison]

I used to fight F1 shop, until I recently failed on it

[paper notch]

you dont rob floor 1 post dlc1

[main bison]

Yeah, this crap is really starting to annoy me, I just want to get through it

[sly harness]

ye now it is not optimal

[main bison]

So I found out

It was never optimal

[paper notch]

it was optimal before dlc1

now it isnt

[main bison]

Optimal to rob?

[eternal wadi]

why so? i just rob his ass if Stalward Aid - Training

[main bison]

Sure

[sly harness]

although robbing an incredibly good shop f1 still will win you a run

like Stir-Fry/Drum/Bells

[paper notch]

he gets a guaranteed relic after floor 1 that gives you 3 candles and sends you to bosky

[steel relic]

Cuz he sells the whistle the next time you see him

[paper notch]

as lukas said, if the shop is good, robbing isnt a bad idea

[sly harness]

you can now get an item that is basically a bosky with 3 candles on the second visit

and shops f6 are guaranteed

[eternal wadi]

i see

idk if that thing is guaranteed

welp shouldve known much earlier before i fully maxed out raidian

idk what to do in is6 now

[sly harness]

I have a candleguest confess... So peak

[dense anchor]

that surprised me. anyone knows what happens after that mini-dragon shows up?

[exotic tangle]

@sly harness do i draft any guard for soul yato

uncle strikes again?

[sly harness]

Młynar

[exotic tangle]

you know should i sell inspirers

[sly harness]

ig you can also draft Hoe or qb if you need a solution for ed4

[idle raptor]

Does this include the Raidan from the special squad

[sly harness]

if you really need Ingots for Chalice you can do it

[midnight summit]

Temporary recruitment works too

[exotic tangle]

btw end 4

has to be exchange node

on f3+?

oh

f2 is fine

uhh

let's not

ig

[sly harness]

usually you should take lnf on f3 (it is guarnteed there)

f2 can cook you Hope

[exotic tangle]

what do i do after getting the thing™

[sly harness]

but not sure about SE Hope economy

take Face-Off

[exotic tangle]

hope? what is hope

[sly harness]

you need 1 Plan (2 but you get 1 when entering Face-Off)

[exotic tangle]

[idle raptor]

Ok cool thanks all

[sly harness]

and better have 3 Kings for the Face-Off

[exotic tangle]

wtf 3 kinds

tall order my gng

[idle raptor]

Time to reattempt again

[sly harness]

so usually just take it f5 after robbing on f3

[faint rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/mon3tr-pat-amiya-gif-9269608107849512035

[exotic tangle]

what's portal again

yoink your op with highest taunt

and put them on immediate scout?

interesting event

what does window do then

[sly harness]

no, last deployed

[exotic tangle]

huh

[sly harness]

taunt dosn't matter

[exotic tangle]

surely this is good for portal

[steel relic]

Enters prosperity epoch

[main bison]

I'm struggling

[exotic tangle]

what is this draft

[main bison]

None of these should be as hard as they are, but yet here we are

It's a bunch of free E2 4/5* ops

[exotic tangle]

tf

why did you not use raidian summons

for the talisman

or maybe this is d18 and i'm not qualified

[main bison]

I have that stupid relic that kills my deployment limit

D12

[exotic tangle]

hell yea

[main bison]

So I'm just screwed all over

Yeah, I can't do much with only 3 ops

Especially when they're not even E2

Raidian and Gummy are, but what can they do?

[rich thorn]

im usually just tossing exu2 near boss and trying to nuke him

[main bison]

That didn't work

[rich thorn]

• raidian s2 on 2-3 tiles

[exotic tangle]

well

talisman

[main bison]

Well, I lost

Again

I hate IS6

Worse than IS3

[exotic tangle]

@sly harness do i draft any real defender

[exotic tangle]

play d9

[rich thorn]

usually her skill could be activated earlier

[exotic tangle]

enjoy low risk

[rich thorn]

or you can welp

place op to eat talisman and retread

then place exu2

[exotic tangle]

the talisman becomes the worst thing ever

[main bison]

No

[exotic tangle]

when it is buffed by high diff

[main bison]

D12 is low risk

[exotic tangle]

ball crushing moment

[rich thorn]

that worked on d15 for me

[exotic tangle]

no way

d15 enjoyer

[rich thorn]

thats mid risk

[main bison]

Was your Exu E2

[rich thorn]

cuz -2 on toss

[exotic tangle]

do i draft defender

[main bison]

It's BS is what it is

[exotic tangle]

for end 4 is5

btw

[rich thorn]

anything lower than d12 is low

[main bison]

I still haven't even bothered with ed4

[exotic tangle]

as in 6 stars defender

sure;y i don't need

[sly harness]

Gummy

Is the only defender you draft in IS5

[main bison]

How am I supposed to get all endings all squads wish l when I can barely clear ed1 anymore?

[exotic tangle]

very based take

[main bison]

This pisses me off

[main bison]

Hoshi Alter

[sly harness]

No

Not really

[main bison]

No?

[sly harness]

Maybe in Talons

But she offers nothing specific in 245 Lmap

[rich thorn]

wait

[faint rampart]

might've skipped reading the options from the legend node>recruit any op
but i don't get the option to save vouchers?

[exotic tangle]

say

[rich thorn]

we talked about is6

[exotic tangle]

you said i need true damage

for end4?

[sly harness]

They will be Candled

[main bison]

I'm talking IS6

[main bison]

Maybe that's the problem, I've been lied to

[sly harness]

They were asking about IS5

[main bison]

And trying to use the wrong ops

[exotic tangle]

and you said is6

[faint rampart]

oh 💀 im blind

thanks lukas

[exotic tangle]

lapse of judgment

[sly harness]

[main bison]

Gummy was pretty much it for IS5 except Shu for ending 2?

I don't even know who to start with in other squads anymore

[sly harness]

The Shu is very niche

[main bison]

Raidian's a struggle

[exotic tangle]

should i combine inspirers for shields

[sly harness]

Personally I used her maybe once

[exotic tangle]

or use them all for combat

[main bison]

And Exu 2 isn't doing much anymore

[exotic tangle]

hm

wait

[sly harness]

ig can be relevant in 2a

[exotic tangle]

inspirers just have to be used

in any way

for soul squad right

[rich thorn]

whats the usual drafts for 245 lamp trapmasters? exu2/mizuki/aska and ela?

[sly harness]

Definitely you will want to get some shields

[sly harness]

The Exu + Mizuki core isn't real on d18

But it is fine on d15

[remote badger]

protraction hand sucks

[sly harness]

The Hand + Book cooks it with 3 Plan verticals

[rich thorn]

dont want to ros/greyy 2

😭

[exotic tangle]

hm

[sonic sable]

Is it viable to rob shop before f6?

[exotic tangle]

surely i get enough plans

for wish fulfilled rr

[paper notch]

which IS?

[sonic sable]

My problem is i send everyone to scroll

[rich thorn]

yes, if you got a bosky tongbao?

[sly harness]

Ye, f3 is a comfortable rob

[sonic sable]

So i dont have anyone to fight

[rich thorn]

to not make that as dead node

[sonic sable]

Is6

[paper notch]

robbing f2 or f3 is fine ye

[rich thorn]

oh ye, pre f4

[exotic tangle]

yato use s3 or s2

[sonic sable]

Ok pookies

[exotic tangle]

depending on situation?

[sly harness]

Just roll high enough for Raidian to solo the rob

[paper notch]

ril

[exotic tangle]

wow

[paper notch]

t'was my strat

[exotic tangle]

crazy draft

[paper notch]

only the highest quality of draft

[exotic tangle]

if i swtich amiya form does her training get stuck

[rich thorn]

shoes my beloved

[exotic tangle]

or annihilated

[sly harness]

In SE? All 3

[exotic tangle]

or sth

[void salmon]

Just before ED4, infinite coin toss cycle, infinite ingot and hp possible

[sly harness]

S1 is good with ASPD

[rich thorn]

🥹

[sly harness]

Against ed4 especially

[rich thorn]

now highroll that on d15

[sly harness]

But you will need some help with lowering the Def

[main bison]

I guess Special Squad is what the game wants me to play

[exotic tangle]

ok so i can;t change amiyi form

while she is mastering

bad game tbh

[main bison]

Because that's going well

[flint token]

Holy shit sui shadow squad is my fucking goat

[main bison]

Is Leizi still worth getting, or she been replaced?

[sly harness]

Leizi alter? Still the best guard for IS6

Will be a bit less relevant post dlc2

[paper notch]

ed4 feels extremely forgiving so i dont think it matters who you draft icl

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/pramanix-arknights-waifu-gif-27395975

[rich thorn]

poor saki

nobody loves her

[arctic panther]

the humble -60% def and -30% res:

[sly harness]

Ye ye good op will win a run only if I get all good collectibles first

[exotic tangle]

man

amiya caster

such an old design

[paper notch]

to be fair tho current IS6 gives you all the tools to get a good run

[exotic tangle]

players would foam at the mouth if someone like her is released these days

[paper notch]

not sure what you are trying to imply

[sly harness]

Ye but you still need to clear f2 Bosky first and pass some hit count check en route

[exotic tangle]

her kit

like

her s2

is pretty funny

[paper notch]

amiya has a unique kit but not a good one

[exotic tangle]

she's also the only caster in my draft

truly the draft of all time

[rich thorn]

remind you, y1 ops with 100 sp s3 skills exists

[exotic tangle]

SA with 90s

[paper notch]

i dont expect them to ever release a 5* with an castermiya like kit ever

[sly harness]

Just get 500 ASPD and Amiya's talent will do wonders

[rich thorn]

mostima with 110 and dusk with 100

🥀

[arctic panther]

just you wait until the 15th anniversary where they release the first limited 5* (collabs dont count)

[sick mason]

AOE casters these days

[rich thorn]

casters in IS these days 🥀

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/pramanix-gif-17514296915217368826

[sick mason]

Kinda funny that Pram alter is a phalanx caster

Sharing the same subclass as Carnelian but crap ton more useful

[exotic tangle]

what does this do again

[main bison]

What does this mean?

[rich thorn]

maybe im not right, but isnt main reason why she is really good in IS is gnosis mod?

[main bison]

It's ending 4 obviously

But I'm on F2

[rich thorn]

for perma fragile

[arctic panther]

cant wait for liberators to get an infinite skill!

[exotic tangle]

your op will be spirited away

until the final fight

[rich thorn]

sends op into ending 4 boss

[errant siren]

Bosky.

[rich thorn]

you will never see em till that stage

[main bison]

Yeah, I'm only F2

[errant siren]

Bonus Floor.

[main bison]

That sucks

[rich thorn]

still need to yeet 1 to unlock ending tho

[exotic tangle]

well yeah

oh right

i forgot to specify

the bottom path

what does it do

[main bison]

So I can just send anyone?

[sick mason]

Just yeet 1 operator into scroll to unlock ed4 :v

[sick mason]

For now yes

[rich thorn]

yes

[main bison]

Ok

[sick mason]

You can send more in floor 7

[errant siren]

Ah, just +1 Plan and get out.

[exotic tangle]

ew

[rich thorn]

people usually take mattehorn

with +1 block module

[main bison]

Bye!

[arctic panther]

you gain a plan and leave

never worth it

[rich thorn]

and yeet him there

[exotic tangle]

noooooooo

the best vangaurd

why do you do this

chat who do i take

[rich thorn]

thats a funny spawn combo

[exotic tangle]

maybe i'll take mid

right looks legit scary

or i refeesh

[sick mason]

Not if u block them with Gummy 🏃

[exotic tangle]

lmao?

uh

do they drop extra

for both

i am very tempted

[rich thorn]

im sure your not gonna kill both duck and bear 🥀

[sick mason]

Yeah lack of DPS

[exotic tangle]

i have soul

[sudden cloak]

Im pretty sure duck gonna walk away

[sick mason]

And you really have to wait for Mlynar to charge

[exotic tangle]

surely yato and mlynar will

[sick mason]

I mean if u have the module it's better

[exotic tangle]

well idk if duck will just run

ok why not

yolo

i hate is5 anyway

[rich thorn]

true

youlo

[exotic tangle]

[rich thorn]

[sick mason]

[exotic tangle]

oh no

my ops are frozen

uh

i'm in bosky

[rich thorn]

[exotic tangle]

what's that relic

[rich thorn]

bruh

bricked face-off

[exotic tangle]

that makes your op frozen when entering

or maybe this is debuff

[rich thorn]

bosky relic

for sure

[exotic tangle]

ok

fuck

so close

i almost killed duck

wahhhhh

[rich thorn]

now you know

what you need to check your relics sometimes

in shit like bosky

🥹

[exotic tangle]

shit game

0/10

[exotic tangle]

no

[sly harness]

Wtf so many holes (the enemies)

[exotic tangle]

i just don't know timing

yato s2 is not affected by frozen

until it ends

i could have deployed yato smarter

then she'll cook

[sick mason]

I mean Yato S3 is not affected by frozen too 🏃

[exotic tangle]

yato is truly the best frd

collab worthy unit

sexas coiuld never

[faint rampart]

oh no

[exotic tangle]

@sly harness how to use kafka

[sly harness]

I have no idea, my Kafka is e1 and not p6, so I haven't used her

[exotic tangle]

lmao

[sly harness]

but she can just perma sleep stuff

[exotic tangle]

he bricked

uh

do i want sl4

or e0 50

or sumthing for better deal

[sly harness]

nah you just put her down every 5s to sleep enemies

[rich thorn]

🥀

the moment when you dont really need her

(or you can just highroll cocoon and 9 risk coins)

[sly harness]

Hard F3 boss pov

[rich thorn]

btw, all tongbaos are droppable from face-off, yea?

[exotic tangle]

wait

[faint rampart]

cant be throwing away my decent specspec run for this 🥀

[exotic tangle]

i have to kill cannot?

[sly harness]

you should eob before f4

without King Lance pro

damge cannot to 75 and 50 % to spawn chests

you can't cc him during that

then kill him

[rich thorn]

wait, people rob pre f4?

[sly harness]

cope

[exotic tangle]

it's end 4

my ingots are non existent

might as well

free nodes for refresh too

[sly harness]

with Knight Lance Pro canot gives 150 Ingots

[exotic tangle]

if i had the plans for it

surely

unfortunately don't have

[sly harness]

still you shoud rob f4

[exotic tangle]

such is life

[sly harness]

f4+ rob gives like 10 or 20 more Ingots

[fickle jungle]

Ok but you need petal, which deletes all of your ingot

[sly harness]

this too

but i assume they have it

[exotic tangle]

nice one

i don't

[quick steppe]

real ones are robbing f6

[exotic tangle]

now i'm stuck with useless 61 ingots

hell yeah

anyway

spec caster tic

lar e2

alr e2

what do i do

kafka and yato are there

yato e2

maybe exualt?

[sly harness]

no

she has Hand and Book

just Ethan

[exotic tangle]

oh

i alr got hands

of flinger

pretty sure it will give me book later

uh

what does it prioritize anyway

king first or hand/book first

[sly harness]

flinger hand doesn't have a Book

[exotic tangle]

nyoooooooooooo

it's over

[sly harness]

hand/book over everthing

[exotic tangle]

b-but

[sly harness]

that is why you don't want them

[exotic tangle]

pre e2 ticket

bro

[quick steppe]

this is why we play tree squad

[exotic tangle]

true

hate this squad now

sth sth en route power

just reroll hard nodes

😡

i got baited

the guide is written by bait

@sly harness is there any caster that doesn't have hand

or book

[quick steppe]

ebenholz

[rich thorn]

necrass and ifrit

[quick steppe]

ifrit

[sly harness]

don't draft casters

[rich thorn]

thorns2

[exotic tangle]

i have 16 hope

[rich thorn]

check your hands?

[exotic tangle]

should be non issue

[quick steppe]

casters are all qu
just get amiya and move on

[sly harness]

Indigo

[rich thorn]

cuz lin could be cope

she is on flinger too

[simple jolt]

anyone has the is6 ending 4 guide

[exotic tangle]

damn

[sly harness]

Indigo can stall Qiu'lon in map2

[exotic tangle]

is it that bad

[paper notch]

casters kinda ass icl

[exotic tangle]

s2?

[paper notch]

indigo only really has 1 skill ye

[sly harness]

ye S2

[exotic tangle]

aight

[quick steppe]

the specspec flingerhand tech is being studied

[rich thorn]

nymph ok, but she is on hand

[exotic tangle]

do i want e2 indi

or e2 amiya

[quick steppe]

amiya

[sly harness]

also every caste = pillar for Ros

just darft Durin

[quick steppe]

but amiya can digest other vouchers

[gaunt bay]

Meow :3

[quick steppe]

so probably indigo

[exotic tangle]

if there is medic i'd draft cat

or cat spine

so probably no

[oak crane]

End3 is easier than i thought ngl

[exotic tangle]

let's go with amiyi

[rich thorn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586588921614303233/1426277330027810969/5383f267ffe3bf00d1b365b89f80fe3a103739.gif1052w_web-dynamic.webp

[exotic tangle]

bro

philosophy is so fucking ass

bru

[rich thorn]

ngl

[exotic tangle]

i'm crashing out

[rich thorn]

ed3 boss itself is a fraud

[exotic tangle]

wow this guy has 60 thoughts

[quick steppe]

tree squad pains

[exotic tangle]

let's make sure he can't

fuck

[rich thorn]

but pathfinder and bleed relic is 💀

[warm drum]

Does this only apply for these 3 statuses or does this work for bind too

[errant siren]

Unfortunately, they affect only these one.

[warm drum]

alr thank you

[sly harness]

Are we still thinking that Clarity is difficult?

[midnight summit]

Its nice but kinda meh as a subject

[fickle jungle]

Uhh what is burning breath status?

[errant siren]

Talulah and SuperTalulah Ignite.

[exotic tangle]

no

[errant siren]

https://tenor.com/view/talulah-arknights-evil-marrochi-smile-gif-11352991827167089332

[fickle jungle]

Huh

[exotic tangle]

"you have a chance to be cockblocked from combining thoughts"

like

crazy tuff

[quick steppe]

on the bright side it has zero combat effects

[midnight summit]

Burn in ch8

[idle raptor]

[civic tinsel]

Ok now that I think about it, maybe M3’ing her is not the best idea

[idle raptor]

So how's ending 3 for is6? easier than ending 2?

[civic tinsel]

The stun mechanic can be annoying if its your first time

Other than that its pretty simple

you gotta make sure that whichever ops you want to bring to the fight have to be a candleguest

[exotic tangle]

mon3tr or kal chat

[idle raptor]

Well shit

[sly harness]

this part is very easy now

you can easily get the entire squad of Candleguests post dlc1

and ed3 is very simple

[rich thorn]

harder than wang stage for sure

and welp, -1 pathfinder

[faint rampart]

holy mother of lowrolls that dmg seems bad

[rich thorn]

looks like someone gonna die from timer
