[quick steppe]

[prime mountain]

Well if you get fry in f1 shop you're not gonna be mad about it

[late pecan]

That is true

[sly harness]

ye but you usally get it on f5

[late pecan]

Which is annoying zzzz

[faint rampart]

and they added more shitty relics

[prime mountain]

Ok so anything I should know before going to ed1 alt

[rich thorn]

[paper notch]

5* players eating good

[late pecan]

Dayum

[quick steppe]

first class squad if it was good:

[ember hemlock]

[rich thorn]

d6

[ember hemlock]

I struggle to clear low diff

[quick steppe]

block 4 where

[nocturne cape]

Its ok bros got ines + ray

[late pecan]

What's the requirements for IS5 ED2?

[nocturne cape]

Surelly

[rich thorn]

get lingerers from f2 first node, then combine em

to gate plage of babel relic

[late pecan]

Gotcha

[sly harness]

This Turmoil can't spawn an animal... Wtf... Why are expansion stages always ass

[rich thorn]

both new turmoils cant spawn em

🥀

[sly harness]

no. there is a Fatty in the one with Ato enemies

[rich thorn]

really?

[sly harness]

ye

[rich thorn]

where the hell he goes

if all holes

[sly harness]

he just spawns on the left... so you nee to kill him through dr

and apparently this stage can also spawn a duck

[rich thorn]

[faint rampart]

mizuki sucking them in holes

[ember hemlock]

do enemies need to actually reach the tile the ju is on to leak or does it have a radius I need to keep em out of

[late pecan]

Where to find a rough guide for how does the IS6 ED2 work?

[rich thorn]

em

is5 or 6?

[late pecan]

Am gonna try it but probs need info to see what Im up against*

[rich thorn]

cuz you asked about is5 before

[late pecan]

Is5* soz

[rich thorn]

in pins

[late pecan]

Oops, I misinputted the next number

Gotcha

I'll be experimenting then, cant hurt to try

[ember hemlock]

lmao yeah no I suck too much

the mirror casters were way too tanky against arts

[late pecan]

Arent u supposed to have a defender to stall the boss and kill the stealth Talisman spawners?

[rich thorn]

cc works too

[ember hemlock]

shoulda put ray at the back instead of trying to bind ju

[rich thorn]

you just need to stop token from movement

[vestal plaza]

alright

time to fafo

[ember hemlock]

what does stopping it from moving do anyway

[rich thorn]

stun/freeeze/bind

[ember hemlock]

what does it do

[rich thorn]

trag s3 cages

[ember hemlock]

bro doesn't read what I say 🥀

[rich thorn]

i know what you know what i know

[ember hemlock]

so dr 90% to dr 35%

[late pecan]

Can I open Rosmo Click Gummy with Sniper Med squad for IS6 ED2? I dont own Rosmo so I had to borrow her, then get Wis Greyy Alter for Flinger slop gameplay

[rich thorn]

and yeh

so i still think

what trag s3 is superior

[earnest ridge]

Does black tulip give max benefit to s2 Trag who doesn't use their skill?

[rich thorn]

and easiest way

cuz cages are hit based, not hp

[ember hemlock]

isn't trag s2 permanent after activation

[drowsy breach]

can you beat all 3 endinga at any difficulty?

[rich thorn]

nope

you cant 234 in is6

already tested here

pathfinder encounter just not appears

[earnest ridge]

I don't know how they are defined. I know you stay at max so bar. But there is no activatable skill, just cat starts to be summonable

[ember hemlock]

his skill activation allows cat to be summoned

[drowsy breach]

im considering cheesing the inkstick ending on difficulty 2

[rich thorn]

maybe its weird, but i like wakaba now

[drowsy breach]

next week

[earnest ridge]

Gotcha so it is terrible on Trag

[ember hemlock]

no? his skill 2 never ends

[earnest ridge]

Ah. So it's amazing lol

[drowsy breach]

if this is replying to me i don't understand it

[ember hemlock]

he's saying you can't do endings 2, 3 and 4 all in one single is6 run

[drowsy breach]

ohhh

[sly harness]

DR surely is a thing

[drowsy breach]

I mean can I beat butterfly ending on baby difficulty?

[ember hemlock]

anyone can if they try hard enough and have the correct ops built

you're not beating it if you only have 2* ops built obviously
if someone wants to prove me wrong tho that would be awesome

[rich thorn]

yes

on baby ofk

[sly harness]

you can win an IS6 run without operators

[faint rampart]

😔 non existent when you highroll (most runs of is6)

[sly harness]

I think I can go for my collectibles record

[ember hemlock]

ed2?

[sly harness]

Leader Squad so broken

[sly harness]

just ~20 LPs more then ed1

[ember hemlock]

well sick guess I'm wrong

[faint rampart]

[prime mountain]

Almost did a mistake

[sly harness]

but realistically you play Special Squad and borrow Exu alter

[faint rampart]

this already happened to you b4 iirc💀

[prime mountain]

Nah I think it was lukas

But I do remember seing it here

[faint rampart]

oh

confusing the only 3 gvg en players 🥀

[prime mountain]

[ember hemlock]

I'm assuming the strat is to just stack LP to leak left side and right side then use raidian and starters to handle mid and foot?

[faint rampart]

misremembered this i guess

[prime mountain]

Isnt 4 deploy default on these with no buffs?

[sly harness]

Raidian + Exu just leak left

[ember hemlock]

oh I mean the zero ops raised strat

except raidian ig

[faint rampart]

idr
but if thats the case then will your deployment limit just become 2, assuming coin tossed

[brittle grove]

Thats zero ops raised

[ember hemlock]

oh so it requires borrow

[brittle grove]

Thats what feature for

[outer cliff]

Doesnt IS2 have an op-less run

[ember hemlock]

I don't assume everyone's borrowing ops for every stage

[brittle grove]

Whynot assuming young roster

[sly harness]

i was talking about literally zero ops. just roll good rng to stack LPs (I haven't seen any zero ops in IS6 ywt, in IS5 you abused Safe House and not upgreaded skill tree)

[ember hemlock]

so you can or can't win is6 ed2 without operators?

[brittle grove]

welp is6 leaks all stuff require ops

[prime mountain]

Mfw I forget how to play this stage

[rich thorn]

but! but! need def/hp/etc on d12+

cuz fucking leg will smash em

even with exu2 shield

[sly harness]

they don't need HP even for d15

just time it

[brittle grove]

Or probably u just that lucky

[outer cliff]

Does is6 have the “do things if enemies enter box” relics

If you high roll hard enough do u think u could 50% the foot using enemies leaking into the box

[rich thorn]

or you just nuke spearheads and they kill you before that

[brittle grove]

Leakless fr

[faint rampart]

does increasing enemy aspd increase sui foot stomping speed

[prime mountain]

No its sp based skill

Oh wait if you mean the delay between stomps I think so

[faint rampart]

uh no i mean

yeah that

[prime mountain]

Like the 3 hit sequence thing yeah

[faint rampart]

[sly harness]

🌺🌺🌺

[rich thorn]

nice flower squad

[sly harness]

Time to shop rob

[prime mountain]

Sorry you can do this infinitely? wtf ed4 is so slop

[sly harness]

yes

[rich thorn]

yes

flower can cash out here btw

same with supp with interdep

[prime mountain]

There is no way the boss is hard enough to warrant is5 100 relic type gameplay...

[quick steppe]

its how IS was meant to be played

if the IS3 players had it their way every run would look like this

[carmine token]

101 collectables with leader squad 🥹

[rich thorn]

20 days run?

[faint rampart]

bro wtf

[rich thorn]

[quick steppe]

so called "relicless" enjoyers after this run:

[carmine token]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-ass-so-ass-rayleigh-one-piece-one-piece-meme-gif-18387547488092157080

[faint rampart]

[quick steppe]

peak strategy!

[carmine token]

[quick steppe]

[sly harness]

I don't know Chinese

[carmine token]

is6 already solved 0op 0relic

[inland elbow]

World peace

[sly harness]

I think f6 rob is fake

Like stuff just dies

[quick steppe]

honestly by f6 yea everything just dies

[sly harness]

Even 4* only (+Ascalon, +Amiya, +Kroos) just cleared it

[carmine token]

[prime mountain]

BIBEAK GO

[prime mountain]

What the hell ed4 so easy

First clear I have no idea what the boss does everyone just died

bruh

[rich thorn]

it feels like ed4 easier than ed3

sometimes

[quick steppe]

yes now you see high difficulty IS isn't that bad
off to is5 245 now

[rich thorn]

[prime mountain]

245 regular isnt bad its just stupid amiya encounter rng

[rich thorn]

welp what can i say

tongbao system is op and fun

they cooked

[prime mountain]

Ok this should not be an option in the rng squad

they took the raidian out 😭

like idk, this seems giga useless

[rich thorn]

like

WTF

[carmine token]

touch is good

[prime mountain]

Ok so outside of exu who else benefits from that

Forced exu squad

[faint rampart]

fia?

[carmine token]

sp is sp

[prime mountain]

is there any other GOOD unit that benefits from touch

[quick steppe]

tin man in stronghold protocol 2

many are already taking notes

[carmine token]

just get the risk coin that deals 100 true dmg to everyone

[prime mountain]

[prime mountain]

Shittiest rare one

Actually idk the 30% command exp one is dubious

[carmine token]

mm 100 true dmg/s on enemies with 10k+ hp 😭

[prime mountain]

You dont see the anti hitcount value

!

[carmine token]

just wait for dlc2 ‼️

[quick steppe]

dlc2 low collectible clear

[pure oyster]

Rate this setup lol

[faint rampart]

3/10 for having stainless

[prime mountain]

0 unit infinite is crazy

[carmine token]

seems low enough enough if it was a higrool it would have 20k+

[rich thorn]

i just have 1 question

where is operators

[pure oyster]

How do you win without ops?

[quick steppe]

leak everything

[prime mountain]

Blue box 7 star op

[prime mountain]

Simply ignore the enemies

hope this helps

[quick steppe]

next time someone says IS is too "box intensive" just tell them to roll for the 0 op clear 🙄

Probably a silly question but do chargers refund twice with this?

[prime mountain]

Yeah they do

[pure oyster]

Oooh

[prime mountain]

Never tought of that, not a bad combo

[rich thorn]

what happens first - haruka s3 levitate pseudomut or he eats op?

[prime mountain]

Ok this map can be horrible if you lowroll wtf only 2 holes???

What the fuck this is giga broken

+30% command exp and 2 ingots per node

[rich thorn]

it feels like this squad is really op

dik

idk*

[narrow cosmos]

I FEEL SCAMMED I THOUGHT ENDING 4 WAS GONNA BE HARD

[rich thorn]

like hey

[ivory snow]

Deyum. I need this combo + the support squad one

[rich thorn]

stir fry as first relic?

[ivory snow]

Also ling node

[rich thorn]

isnt that op?

[prime mountain]

Oh I see the problem

[rich thorn]

or all 5 stars ops are promoted

[ivory snow]

All I see is a challenge

[prime mountain]

yeah rng squad is so fun

New main found

Me when every run isnt the same and I have to adapt????

[rich thorn]

trueeeeee

thats like first one wher im pretty comfy for 23

[narrow cosmos]

When y'all said boss was a stat stick, I expected to actually take time killing it.

[prime mountain]

Well he has stats but so do you

[narrow cosmos]

I killed the cow in like 20 seconds.

[prime mountain]

Sounds about right

[rich thorn]

he is 3m hp, but 22 def

token is real statcheck here

cuz aoe dmg and -30% dmg reduce

[narrow cosmos]

The reason the fight overall took so long was because I'm stupid and put Tragodia and Mantra in the wrong spot so the first lad took a while.

And by "so long" I mean it almost went around it's circle once.

[rich thorn]

you know what

even left statuegist feeling like fatter than cow

[prime mountain]

true...

[narrow cosmos]

75% Damage resistance means they basically have 1.3 million HP.

So they arnt unreasonably far off in raw stats.

[faint rampart]

raidian shill
speccast frd

[narrow cosmos]

Anyway I did kind of go into the fight over prepared...

[prime mountain]

A single gravel and its free I mean yeah sure

[faint rampart]

:susge:

[rich thorn]

and just ingore token farts

[crystal niche]

[outer cliff]

I hate that retreating op doesnt stop them from eating

[crystal niche]

d4 above? not so sure

[prime mountain]

No but it does prevent your unit from being in their stomach

Which is something

[outer cliff]

That doesnt help if im retreating a raidian summon

[faint rampart]

[prime mountain]

Not a problem if you dont use Raidian!

[faint rampart]

Imma M3 all Raidian skill later maybe

[ivory snow]

O blessed RNGesus, keeper of probabilities and patron of roguelikes,
Hear my plea as I enter the trials of Arknights and its unforgiving IS6.

You who decide the fate of every coin,
Who turns triumph into despair with a single flip—
Look kindly upon my run.

When the coin is cast into the void,
Let it not betray me with cruel repetition.
Spare me the endless tails of suffering,
And bless me with heads when it matters most.

May my decisions be wise,
But more importantly—may my luck be better.
For what is strategy before your divine coin toss?
What is planning before your chaotic will?

Grant me victories in chance encounters,
Fortune in risky gambles,
And mercy in those cursed “50/50” moments
That feel more like 0/100.

If I must lose, let it be rarely.
If I must win, let it be gloriously.
And if the coin must decide my fate—
Let it land, just once… in my favor.

All hail RNGesus,
Lord of the flip, breaker of streaks,
May your randomness be ever kind.

Amen. 🪙

[arctic panther]

[main bison]

time to torture myself with F5 and Ending 4

anyone want to hold my hand since I'm rusty and awful?

[arctic panther]

highroll

[main bison]

I don't even know what that means right now

[rich thorn]

highroll x2

[arctic panther]

this is highrolling (bumped up to 100x the usual amount of it)

[main bison]

I'm not even sure how you did that with Kroos

[prime mountain]

Ling looping

zzz

[main bison]

I always feel like I've got nothing

[arctic panther]

[arctic panther]

when are you entering bosky

[main bison]

this is what I've got right now

[arctic panther]

you win

[main bison]

relics

[prime mountain]

Spawncamping lmao

[arctic panther]

unless you get mount and sea

[main bison]

supposedly I need a 4 block?

[craggy shadow]

no myrtle drum skin

you lose

[main bison]

also, you assume I won't ruin Yi

[prime mountain]

Nah you just highroll and kill

[arctic panther]

or someone to stun/sleep

[main bison]

I don't buy skins

well, I don't have either of those in this setup

[craggy shadow]

missing out on the +50% dp generation

[main bison]

it still worth going for Bosky F5?

[pure oyster]

holy kroos

[prime mountain]

Wait no way I got the full levitate exodia, how broken

[main bison]

do I need Ines, or Surfer ok?

or just E2 Myrtle?

[prime mountain]

Surfer would be nice

[pure oyster]

aroma?

[main bison]

and yes, I'm going to ask a lot of questions because I barely knew how to do this months ago

Mantra even worth using?

I've barely used her since pulling her

[prime mountain]

If you have trag already and some relics that buff her, she's pretty nice

But soon we just draft pram alt

[red horizon]

First completion, ever! I have no idea what I’m doing
In the final fight all my ops got knocked out by yi’s flying… things, but I managed to redeploy them one by one to knock yi out next to blue box
Any glaring problems in these stats? Probably many

[prime mountain]

Well the first issue I see is the lack of, well, everything. Low op count, low relic count

Prob needs to learn how to play bosky better

[red horizon]

Unfortunately don’t have the squad picture cause I genuinely thought I’d lose

[red horizon]

The what

Can you tell I don’t play IS much

[prime mountain]

The candle thing

[main bison]

not this run I don't

[red horizon]

[prime mountain]

Do you remember at the end of f1 and f4 it throws you in a wacky special path

[main bison]

how important is Candle ops for ed4?

[red horizon]

Oh, yeah

[prime mountain]

Not at all you just send them all in f6 special bosky

[faint rampart]

damn wis borrow

[main bison]

ok, I'll just E2 Purestream then

[red horizon]

I tried but I completely fumbled at it ngl

[prime mountain]

Yeah this is the main way to get relics and stuff in is6, need to abuse everything you can there

[main bison]

unless there's a better medic?

have a Specialist recruit, who's worth getting other than Exu 2?

Texas?

[prime mountain]

Nah you get swire alt

[remote badger]

no

[prime mountain]

or mizukiiii

[main bison]

Mizuki?

really?

[prime mountain]

Yeah hes insane

his module is nuts

[main bison]

I still don't have a 4 block Defender

[prime mountain]

dont matter you will fold the boss

[main bison]

ok

[prime mountain]

you get a free bosky

Its insane

[main bison]

and another Sniper?

well, I've got 2 more Hope left

[remote badger]

matterhorn

[red horizon]

I generally didn’t have the currency to keep in there and all
Is the layout always the same or is it randomized?

[arctic panther]

mizuki can just bind the boss with s2

[remote badger]

cheap

[main bison]

he's not built

[prime mountain]

Keep in mind you auto promote the units you send for ed4

so dont e2 them

[arctic panther]

random

[main bison]

I see

so is Krooster worth getting then?

[prime mountain]

I'd rather greyy alt tbh

aoe is nice

[main bison]

mastery for Matterhorn?

[prime mountain]

I HAVE THEM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL

[main bison]

I've got those instant E2/Max level tokens for 4*

[remote badger]

boom

[red horizon]

I’m afraid I am still learning is in general 🥀 did most of the ones where you borrow ops cause they’re just for missions. Just now trying my hand at actual content
—And, yes, IS5 is generally recommended as I’ve seen, but last time I tried I got screwed over by this annoying f5 stage with the spinny sarkaz wheels and I’m still mad at it

We have pins for dos and donts or something right

[arctic panther]

just mod1

[remote badger]

dont tell me

[main bison]

and which skill?

[remote badger]

f5 after dlc2 is kinda ass

[arctic panther]

either is fine

he's just there to block the boss

[arctic panther]

theres a progression guide too

[main bison]

god, his Paradox is awful

those two medics suck at keeping the snipers alive

I can't be that dumb

[red horizon]

Ooh, neat
I’ll look into it. Despite being horrible at them gamemodes like IS are pretty fun

[prime mountain]

Are the snipers fixed spawn?

[main bison]

yes

only the medics and Matterhorn

can be deployed

[prime mountain]

Yeah just use his skill to not die from the sword guys dealing arts damage then

[midnight summit]

And how is it possible wtf

[main bison]

no, it's leaking

this looks like how Eckogen did it, maybe it's a placement thing

[midnight summit]

2 block a front

[prime mountain]

Ok ngl I wouldve placed matterhorn same spot

this feels so wrong

[main bison]

whatever, that crap's over with

[arctic panther]

it is

[main bison]

so dumb

[arctic panther]

he takes aggro from the drones in that spot

[main bison]

yeah, I mean I get it

[prime mountain]

White shoes + vag tile buff synergy omg

It has just occured to me I am about to do ed2 alt for the first time and I have no idea how to prep for it

[arctic panther]

highroll harder

[prime mountain]

You sadly cannot levitate the boss 🥀

Ok what if I just perma stall that one enemy on left side with roberta auto skill coin

It cant be that bad

I am doing too much damage because the enemy dies from levitation relics when I activate my medic's skill

Ok that was a disaster

[pure oyster]

shoulda brought aroma (don't listen to me)

[prime mountain]

My draft was genuinely horrible idk how I even made it this far

[arctic panther]

but did you win

[prime mountain]

🥹

no

It was doable I just misplayed the hell out of it

[arctic panther]

should've drafted pram

[crystal niche]

valarqvin enthusiast out there

s1 or s2 for enabling necrosis

[arctic panther]

i see s2 used most often but both should work

[crystal niche]

[main bison]

so wait, if I've got Bosky F5, save candle for F6?

[prime mountain]

You can but candles arent usually an issue in f6 bosky if you have ingots or other resources to spare

[main bison]

89 ingots right now?

so just go for it and get as much as I can from Bosky?

[exotic tangle]

How do you get more candles

[prime mountain]

Yeah prob

[exotic tangle]

[prime mountain]

You can clear bosky fights with the team you have right?

And get all statuegeists?

What the fuck are those

[crystal niche]

if u hit them 15 times

[exotic tangle]

Dragonling

[crystal niche]

stuns

[exotic tangle]

Or sumthing

Funny

[arctic panther]

tavern

in f6 bosky specifically

[main bison]

well, there were 0 Turmoil nodes in that Bosky

[crystal niche]

if you hit them for 15 times, it stuns your ops for 15 secs i think

[prime mountain]

Where do they spawn just new stages or what?

Is it new miniboss?

[sick mason]

The f6 wonderland for ed4?

[crystal niche]

idk many people here have posted it on many battles

[prime mountain]

So new duck/bear/thief or something?

[crystal niche]

yea

[prime mountain]

Sure fuck it idc anymore

Bro

highroll of the century

[main bison]

wait a minute

this isn't the same map

[prime mountain]

Yeah ed1 and 2 are different

if you grab ed4

[main bison]

great

[prime mountain]

Oh its a starved of doubt map rip

f1 bosky this feels illegal

[main bison]

I don't know what I'm doing

[arctic panther]

bluest map i've ever seen

[arctic panther]

kill yi

[main bison]

yeah, I struggled with that moron on normal

[crystal niche]

well

[prime mountain]

you block up top bro not in the middle

[main bison]

I know

the a Hole walked on me

[crystal niche]

you failed to stall yi

[main bison]

I'm aware of the typical stall, but he's stuck right there

[prime mountain]

Bro's gimmick: walking

[crystal niche]

he's stuck there when the bombs are coming

[main bison]

I brought him back up, but we'll have to get everyone else up too

well, that was interesting

the first and 3rd leak were me forgetting the map was different

which one?

[prime mountain]

Huh what are the wondrous effects? My map is entirely revealed already

So its like +2 candles

+2hope

And not much legends left

[main bison]

I've been told to take the +2 Hope, so I dunno

which relic should I get?

leaning towards the left one

[sick mason]

Maybe u can take the challenge and get hour of hai

[prime mountain]

Challenge? bro they are pretty much fully cleared already

+2 candles on entering a bosky + all doubts are revealed already

[arctic panther]

drum

no debate

infinitely better than craftsman

[main bison]

yeah, I didn't do that, I got tired of waiting

F7

now who?

I really need my hand held here, it's bad

I'm terrible and really out of pratice

[sick mason]

You're in floor 7 and still haven't light Raidian? Wuat the

[main bison]

nope

but does it really matter?

[earnest ridge]

Do I not fill out the skill tree to unlock Face Off nodes? I heard from some folks that those nodes might be traps?

[arctic panther]

no node is a trap

[main bison]

Face-Off is more difficult than IS5 is all

[earnest ridge]

This thing here

[main bison]

yeah, get it

well, should I light Raidian/E2 Haruka or just someoneo else?

[arctic panther]

raidian

[main bison]

the other two I have for Candle recruiting

[arctic panther]

she'll help in bosky

[main bison]

ok

E2 Greyy too?

or who else?

the only Sniper I generally draft is Wisadel

[sick mason]

Archetto?

[main bison]

that might be an option

and Caster?

E2 Amiya?

[prime mountain]

Yeah raidian amiya no diffs all bosky

Provided you're good

[main bison]

I got Matterhorn, so maybe?

it's been a minute since I've done this one

and the others

[arctic panther]

easiest one

[main bison]

well, I have failed it before, so help me please

[sick mason]

Much easier than inferno

[main bison]

I mean, you're not wrong

but I forget who goes where and what

[prime mountain]

just spawn camp everything

[main bison]

uh

how?

[arctic panther]

or huddle around blue box

[main bison]

Wisadel facing up somewhere in the middle?

[prime mountain]

Nah I'd do wishadel to kill left side stuff, then everyone else middle

[main bison]

should she be right of that wall?

the bottom wall

[prime mountain]

Yes they dont target trough walls

I mean she's invis regardless

[main bison]

true

I lost the walls

and the right side's giving me pressure

lost 5

[prime mountain]

How did everyone blow up wtf

[main bison]

I have no clue

those a holes on the right

they blew up everyone to the left of Leizi

the rocket dudes, you can see them on the upper right

so I'm in bosky, what do I do now?

[sweet moth]

what did expansion 1 add for is6?

[prime mountain]

Find tavern node

get candles

clear fights

and keep enough candles left for however units you want to send for ed4 (the doubt nodes)

[sick mason]

Using Blaze S3 medic-less is funny

[main bison]

I don't know who to send other than Matterhorn

[prime mountain]

You NEED to send units

they wont be there otherwise

But send the shitty ones you dont need for bosky first

[sick mason]

Dude just send anyone

[main bison]

I'm aware that I need to send ops

the problem is that I feel like I need to send everyone

[prime mountain]

Well you can

[sick mason]

You can do it later

[prime mountain]

Find tavern node

[main bison]

and I don't know who I'll need for the boss, so I don't know who to send as a whole

[prime mountain]

Just find the damn tavern node and you will have like 15 candles

[main bison]

I got like 3

for the ingots only

[prime mountain]

No shields? No life points? No coupons?

Oh right you blew up to f6 stage

[main bison]

yeah

[prime mountain]

Skill issue tbh

[main bison]

thanks

I'm aware that I'm terrible

that's why I'm here

help me get better so I can have some skill points

who do I need for the boss fight?

[prime mountain]

Idk you just highroll it and boss dies

[main bison]

Matterhorn, and some DPS is what I understand, but I don't want to just waste sending ops off that I don't need to

[prime mountain]

How many relics do you have rn

[main bison]

I don't even know what that means

22

[prime mountain]

HOW

Brother I have that on f2

[prime mountain]

What have you been doing 😭

[main bison]

trying not to lose every HP I have

dude, I'm literally this bad

[prime mountain]

You're seing it the wrong way

[prime mountain]

You WANT to greed early

[main bison]

it's not even a meme, I'm just terrible with the worst luck in this game

[prime mountain]

losing lp early for more power is GOOD

[main bison]

I tried everything I could early on

I had nothing

this is what happens every single run in IS6

it's part of why I hate it so much compared to the older ones

[prime mountain]

You did raidian start, just candle her and amiya and then clear everything in the bosky

https://discord.com/channels/1345870367956271104/1453168948140052520
Check out this playlist

You get raidian candled guarantee from the f1 shop so at worst she's e1

[main bison]

I didn't get another Supporter until significantly later

[prime mountain]

Amiya comes from like 3 vouchers you have her

[main bison]

I started with E2 Raidian/Exu/Myrtle

[prime mountain]

Did you have e2 exu on entering bosky?

[pure oyster]

Jeez i probably had my most broken win for is6 ed1 yet (a lot of aspd buff)

[prime mountain]

Cause e1 raidian + e2 exu just clears a ton of stuff too

[main bison]

no

I had no one for Bosky at the end of F1

I never have anyone

ever

[prime mountain]

No you definitely do

you just dont know who to draft

[main bison]

I can clear F1, but that's about it

well, that's quite obvious

I've done this before, even did ed3 a few times

but it's always been a massive struggle every single run

and I just got tired of being angry at this game every single run

but I have to get this BS done

[prime mountain]

I'd love to help more but need to go sleep got work tomorrow :/

[main bison]

that's my other problem

I usually only have time before bed to do this crap too

so I'm usually exhausted mentally

[prime mountain]

I wanna say take it slow but if you stop midway trough a run you absolutely will just forget everything about it and die the next time you open it

[main bison]

FML

this run's been on going all day long

[prime mountain]

Bro how

[main bison]

skill?

I don't even know anymore man

[prime mountain]

This gets cleared with 2 units 😭

[main bison]

which ones?

I was using Exu/Hoshi

but lost them both

[prime mountain]

Wait for dp stealing guy to move

exu s2 facing left

[main bison]

who's the DP stealing guy?

[prime mountain]

Then something for bottom

[arctic panther]

rightmost guy

[prime mountain]

crossbow guy at spawn

[main bison]

all I had was the angel guy who seals skills

[prime mountain]

Then you just like leizi to kill bottom guy

[main bison]

and the rocket guys

well, who else do I send?

I'm running out of candles in a hurry

[prime mountain]

What does you map look like rn

[main bison]

stuck here right now

but not great

[arctic panther]

please

[main bison]

I think this is the last one of these I can

[prime mountain]

Look imma be real here just reset

[arctic panther]

for the love of everything tell me you've been doing the top option

[main bison]

I'm not resetting

if I do that, I'm done

yes, I've been doing top option

[arctic panther]

ok good

[main bison]

I'm aware of the send mechanic

[arctic panther]

who do you have left

to send

[prime mountain]

You have another candle you can get for -30 in tavern btw

[prime mountain]

thats infinite

[main bison]

and I can't even clear a stupid Turmoil apparently

[still heath]

ill just wait till silverash alter for ending 4

[prime mountain]

bro its super easy

why wait

[main bison]

I just want to be done with IS6

forever

[prime mountain]

IS isnt something you just lightly dip your toes into to clear

[still heath]

no reward

[prime mountain]

you NEED to learn it

[main bison]

I blame Endfield, it's far more fun than OG Arknights at this point

[still heath]

[gaunt bay]

💀

[main bison]

I know, and I don't have the time to either

[prime mountain]

Wrongest opinion ever

this guy consumes slop 🥀

[gaunt bay]

Wiltee

[main bison]

like I've done every squad, every ending runs for IS4 and 5

[prime mountain]

Then dont. Nobody is forcing you to do anything.

[main bison]

actually did every squad every ending for IS3 too, but low difficulty

I know, I'm forcing me

[prime mountain]

If you dont enjoy it just dont

Go play endfield

you like that

[arctic panther]

dont do that

[main bison]

I want to enjoy it though

[brittle grove]

that game designed for you surely

[prime mountain]

You cannot force yourself to enjoy something

[main bison]

I suck really bad at Endfield too, but luckily it's low brain for some of the content

[arctic panther]

thats a terrible idea

[main bison]

I mean, I like playing this game too

but not clearing IS has been one of those burdens that I finally have a little bit of time to actually get done, but the learning curve is stupidly steep

and half the time I feel like there's no one here who can hold my hand, and I get that it shouldn't be that way, but it is

[prime mountain]

Dont feel bad about it btw, when you see someone like me say its easy keep in mind I've got like 200k nodes travelled in total accross all IS

[brittle grove]

its perfect for you i will say, endfield

[main bison]

I'll get it one day, but it just takes time

[prime mountain]

This gamemode takes a ton of time to learn

[main bison]

yeah, I mean I'm not new to IS by any stretch

[prime mountain]

is6 especially has a really weird progression curve

[main bison]

it's just been that this one in particular's been quite rough for me

[prime mountain]

It is really different in how you approach it yeah

[main bison]

but back to where we are now, who do I send?

[prime mountain]

Anyway good luck sleeping now

[main bison]

Mizuki, Myrtle?

[pure oyster]

attack speed good (is6 ed1 d4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pAzYT45iTY

[main bison]

I'm boned on this run, I swear

[main bison]

not nearly enough operators sent

can I even clear with this?

if so, how?

[quick steppe]

block the boss
explode the big fatty

win

[main bison]

can you be a little more detailed than that?
