being able to cure operators is going to make the experience about 10x less fustrating

mint?

[open finch]

Ultimately the map can be split into a couple different modules in a way

[outer cliff]

is it normal that i still have no idea what any of the is6 f6 fights look like despite having done ed3 a bunch

[open finch]

Something to help with fast feed (stalling top left) until second feed, the original way was weedy wildmane, but there are a myriad of replacements for wildmane at this point

Push (this is easy, weedy Angelina)

Dealing with jellyfish (there are a lot of ways to do this, after weedy redeploy all you need is to clump em so could be Ethan Ela mint pramalt whatever)

Optionally air stun for manta rays, though you draft air stun anyway to survive en route

[sinful sparrow]

where's the kermit in tsunderekermit

[quick steppe]

fly high 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️

[tired wyvern]

Is this guy sarkaz?
And if he is, do these two relics apply to him?

[arctic panther]

it'll say he's sarkaz at the top

[calm path]

Fincatcher works

[tired wyvern]

None of the enemies in the bosky show if they r sarkaz or not

[arctic panther]

then he's not sarkaz

[tired wyvern]

But I see sarkaz enemies not having sarkaz in top

[arctic panther]

it would say he's a sarkaz here

[tired wyvern]

Kay

[outer cliff]

Clearly the horns are decorations on the hood

[tired wyvern]

So damn close 😭😭

90 levelsish in 2 days

I'm burnt the fuck out

Last run and I can use the background 🤣

[tired wyvern]

Actually?

-# damn

[proven dagger]

rusthammer's horns are actual horns

[tired wyvern]

Then is he sarkaz?

Would the relic have worked on him?

[steel relic]

No

[proven dagger]

he isn't sarkaz

[tired wyvern]

Oh

[steel relic]

The archive would tell you if he was sarkaz

They look more like forte horns

[tired wyvern]

Yea, not every one with horns is sarkaz

[tired wyvern]

Hmm

[proven dagger]

i thought they were more similar to voivure

he has a dragon tail

there ARE sarkaz enemies in the game who aren't marked as sarkaz tho

but only the ones who are explicitly tagged as Sarkaz will be affected by Sarkaz related mechanics

[tired wyvern]

Huh, why would he do that then

[tired wyvern]

Yea that makes sense thx

[proven dagger]

maybe they forgor idk

[tired wyvern]

[proven dagger]

these guys are Sarkaz but aren't tagged as such

[tired wyvern]

Hmm

-# good to know

[proven dagger]

they aren't affected by sarkaz mechanics

[tired wyvern]

Finally

[lunar knoll]

For is6 ed4 is there a certain floor I have to take the relic by? for instance if I get it f4 and do the scout f5, would it still be possible

[arctic panther]

scout doesnt spawn f5

[lunar knoll]

I have the coin to force one

[arctic panther]

oh

then theres no floor you have to take the relic at

[lunar knoll]

mm ok
what sort of mechanics should I be prepared for with ed4 boss, I haven't seen it yet

[arctic panther]

bring someone with 4 block or someone that can stun consistently

thats kind of it

[arctic panther]

even then its not required

[lunar knoll]

ah damn I don't have 4 block

[muted skiff]

hmm , can you ed 3+4 ?

[arctic panther]

only in is4

[muted skiff]

even if you refresh a scout on f6 ?

[steel relic]

Yes

[languid quartz]

man Raidian is so good for IS6 it's not even funny

[rich thorn]

Freeze/bind/stun/trag s3 cages works too

[rich thorn]

Because she was literally made for this IS

[sly harness]

Candles

Also bells stacks pov

[rich thorn]

At least that's not a stage with 2 chalices and 12 global range Archers

[faint rampart]

something's wrong in that image...

[sly harness]

just camp the box

the tile with the red box is not affected by them

[languid quartz]

is the testee the golden chalice equivalent?

[sly harness]

no

[languid quartz]

there's even a better one for atk speed?!

[arctic panther]

stove alight is

[languid quartz]

sheeesh

[rich thorn]

if only that wasnt with a -2 dp coin...

with only 3 deploy limit

yes i finished myself there

[outer cliff]

doing the lightning tribulation with mon3tr is funny

Does ulpanius work the same way

[sly harness]

Ye this sounds ass... Just roll high enough and draft robots

[outer cliff]

What did i just watch

[sly harness]

Skill cycle in IS6 be like

[languid quartz]

guys so if i toss this once and then replace it, will I still have the 80+ speed buff?

[quick steppe]

no

[outer cliff]

Coins only work while actively tossed unless stated otherwise

[quick steppe]

the ones that dont need it will specifiy "when in coffer"

[languid quartz]

tfw i cant game the game

[arctic panther]

oh you can absolutely do that

[sly harness]

f6 rob

[rich thorn]

But not updated ver

[prime mountain]

shrimply

Speculative f1 purchase to rob f6, toughts???

[faint rampart]

abusing eot is not cool, just prepare an extra squad for rob

😴

[sly harness]

now, this is a lowroll, only 75... Although I did it for the funny amount of Candles

[rich thorn]

[prime mountain]

Only 75 relics 😭

As if the boss would even be hard with like 50

[gaunt bay]

[lost flicker]

How do y'all deal with this stage in IS5? Both videos on youtube just use global range characters lmao

Rhine guardians suck

[prime mountain]

Simply hoe + ulpi in the middle and full tank everyone 👍

Then idk leak everything else

stupid map

[lost flicker]

skipped

I always lose life points on that stage anyway

[sly harness]

rob shop f4 get Chalice and gg ez

this stage isn't hard if you rob f4

without ASPD... ig it can be a bit hard

btw are you asking about EM or normal?

[lost flicker]

Normal

[sly harness]

if it is not em the range tiles on top are relativly save

put Rosmo there pillar the center are use Mon3tr/Kal/Hoe on the right

you can find some videos on bilibili

yt sucks when it comes to finding optimized clears that can serve as a reference point

[lost flicker]

I got jumped by the stage with the billions of little guys

[lost flicker]

Yes it does lmao

I'll look around on bilibili, thank you

[muted skiff]

？

what the fart ?

[carmine token]

yea what

[lost flicker]

Idk the lore, what's wrong with this

nothings wrong with it

[muted skiff]

SP2's round one hand

100% leak, doesn't matter which type of enemy

[open finch]

That wins turn 1 no problem

Turn 2 is a -6 moment if you just upgrade

I had a run where all 4 ppl greeded and upgraded turn 2

i think i like IS4

[wide rover]

If I kill bob at IS 6 big bob certificate event can I still visit him at shop?

[open finch]

is4 is pretty good

[paper notch]

[arctic panther]

this is ji's s3

[prime mountain]

This is a weird fucking bosky now man...

I am so confused rn

[feral scroll]

do you get trust bonus if you borrow in IS?

[paper notch]

diabolical bosky

[prime mountain]

Now the plan is just get stir fry and clear all of it I believe

[ivory snow]

Fuuuuuuuuuu

I accidentally forgot I only got 1 candle and brought 6 ops in ed4.

[arctic panther]

who did you manage to bring

[prime mountain]

What the fuck is post expansion man

[ivory snow]

shu, ines, mon3ter, surtr, lemuen, logos

d12

[prime mountain]

The draft was fine then I saw surtr

bleh

[ivory snow]

:dead

[arctic panther]

should still be winnable

[ivory snow]

I got no stat sticks

[arctic panther]

ines and shu can stall ju while m3 does dps

and then surtr lemon and logos can nuke hou

[ivory snow]

As I said, my collectibles aren't stat sticks.

My luck today sucks

[signal girder]

Is there a prerequisite of some kind to get this Tongbao? And I assume from my grinding that it cannot appear in Cannot’s Shop?

[rich thorn]

i always forget how ass are kings relics before IS5

[arctic panther]

oh shit i thought you meant ops

[ivory snow]

cries.

[rich thorn]

it could be traded in plan node 100%

[arctic panther]

oh well

[arctic panther]

just win

[ivory snow]

I know.

[pure oyster]

seems pretty good for cement

[signal girder]

Do you mean spending life points for it to randomly appear?

[rich thorn]

yea, in bosky plan node

where you trade tongbao

BUT

BUT

!

its not random

there is a pattern

[signal girder]

Man, I wish this image was on the wiki. 😭 Thanks!

[rich thorn]

not mine, its from IS central server

[ivory snow]

how I wish I can read mandarin

wait.. that's mandarin right?

[prime mountain]

Its simple actually!

Green arrow good, red arrow bad, black is equal

Same group same trade

[ivory snow]

I like to know letters

I'm 4

[arctic panther]

the humble ios translate: (dont mind the butchered words)

[arctic panther]

green meens the tongbao go up a tier, red means the opposite, and black means they stay the same

[prime mountain]

Wtf is post expansion...

[arctic panther]

i think

[rich thorn]

skuffiest hollow visage

[prime mountain]

omg is4

[rich thorn]

it was ass

trag carried me

Sounds like is4! always relicless

how more cooked this run can get

[prime mountain]

This is why we skip blademace...

[eternal wadi]

ITS NOT MY FAULT

MF DOUBT NODE RAHHHH

[prime mountain]

mfw vg are negative dp cost until 2nd skill cycle...

[prime mountain]

all the doubts in one neat litle package 😭

[ivory snow]

I doubt that

[eternal wadi]

OMG

I LOVE YOU DOUBT NODE

YES I LOVE THAT STUPID MF BLADE MACE MAKING MY E2 MYRTLE 14 DP

[lost flicker]

wait you mean you wanted to be able to deploy your ops before an enemy makes it to the blue box?

[eternal wadi]

myrtle takes too long to deploy she only gets 1 skill up before murdered

[lost flicker]

as hg intended

[eternal wadi]

if bl*demace didnt appear i couldve just win f2 turmoils easily

[prime mountain]

1 skill that doesnt even refund her dp cost!

[paper notch]

errr are we sure about this. isnt it the opposite in china

[prime mountain]

I am certain!

Source: trust me bro

[rich thorn]

idk, from 8 to 4 and its black....

[prime mountain]

Same rarity, different ingot value

They trade equally

but are worth 8 or 4 ingots

[rich thorn]

anyways

its ass

xD

[prime mountain]

Wdym

This is the flower squad bible

[rich thorn]

iknow

its still ass to force cocoon and stove

[prime mountain]

Its not forced its skillfully acquired!

[rich thorn]

then leaving plan with duck in hands is skill issue

anyways, need to chill on d12

🚬

[prime mountain]

nuh uh this is tryhard station

d15 2+4 only!!!

[rich thorn]

i mean, IS5

and learn 245 boats pathing

[prime mountain]

Then d18 2a+4+5t3 only!!!

[rich thorn]

cuz i forgot their pathing

[rich thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-bizzare-adventure-rohan-kishibe-i-refuse-gif-26066583

[faint rampart]

isn't 23 harder

[gray gull]

Try not getting hard with Raidian then

[prime mountain]

ending 4 is temporarily allowed by courtesy of being new

[rich thorn]

23 harder for me ngl

[faint rampart]

i think you just like highrolling

[rich thorn]

cuz bleeding and -sp on deploy

[prime mountain]

No I'm doing 2+4 cause I want to try ed2 alt more

If I could do 2a+3 would do in a heartbeat

[faint rampart]

[agile hill]

isn't ed2 alter fraud

[prime mountain]

Wouldnt know! only did it once and played absolutely horribly

[agile hill]

why not backward investigation 2a 45t3 only

or maybe backward investigation 245 only

[prime mountain]

Cause I'm not a masochist who plays is5

much less DI

Maybe vinecreep mortar isnt that bad...

Its going to die by itself

Like this was entirely one relic

[crystal niche]

who tf is this

[prime mountain]

The f3 boss you need to stun (alt version)

[crystal niche]

ohhh alt ver

never seen it

[prime mountain]

Hey, I heard we like ingots in here

[prime mountain]

This just happened to me 🥀

But I have bells to counter it

[prime mountain]

My brain at 4 am:

[rich thorn]

yeah, just a basic IS6 highroll enjoyer

[prime mountain]

WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL THESE CANDLES

I have f5 bosky coming up

the bosky is cleared already

[rich thorn]

isnt that

tianshi but better

[slate hull]

I guess it is tavern time

[rich thorn]

[late pecan]

Any advice for attempting IS5 ED2?

[prime mountain]

This is wrong on so many levels

[rich thorn]

oh yes

3 tavern visits

[slate hull]

huh, nice shape

[rich thorn]

more shields and relics

[arctic panther]

yostar moment

[prime mountain]

oops default OST

[arctic panther]

worse

ITS NOT EVEN AN OST

[rich thorn]

furrilo

[arctic panther]

IT JUST COPIES WHATS LAST SET AS THE BGM 😭

[rich thorn]

try shadow all 5-stars insta promote

[prime mountain]

Default fallback, actually not a terrible way to code it

[rich thorn]

trust me its peak

[late pecan]

Which squad do I start? I know the f2 relics need to to be combined for ED2 and stack ingots for attack speed relics right.

[rich thorn]

[prime mountain]

When it shows up...

[rich thorn]

with a fucking stir fry

[prime mountain]

I mean shrimply

[late pecan]

How do u get sui's shadow squads in is6

[rich thorn]

can go snipemed lamp triple flinger + either mon3tr or kal

[prime mountain]

Its a new squad, its one of the 3 last unlocks

I think its the get 20 risks coins accross any run one

[late pecan]

Ooohhhh kk

[late pecan]

Cheers

[late pecan]

Based on this, sounds like true dmg. Caster Amiya can work with Mon3tr then?

[rich thorn]

nope, thats risky moves

where you start with interdep

[arctic panther]

medimiya

[prime mountain]

Oh yeah, whats the unlock for shadow? prob something easy I just forgot

[rich thorn]

shadow is just finish run once

after dlc release

[arctic panther]

-# ..wait castermiya does true damage??

[prime mountain]

They all do

😭

[rich thorn]

flower is retoss box 10 times

[quick steppe]

tree squad

so we're gonna start with erudite squad

[arctic panther]

oh shit she does

[late pecan]

Cuz I assume if hes referring to Mon3tr or Kal, it seems u need true dmg for the boss

[prime mountain]

mfw the optimal play is to enter leisure, get 1 ingot, gamble once, then leave

💀

[rich thorn]

fuck the tree squad, got punished twice with fucking no trade epoch

🫃

[rich thorn]

yes, its easier way

[prime mountain]

And then end up net negative almost because of -hope hour

[rich thorn]

harder way is pusher/puller

[late pecan]

Too bad I dont have Rosmo besides borrowing her but no e2 promote on first recruit :(

[rich thorn]

wis?

or no wis too

[late pecan]

Can technically e2 promote Wis first but then, no Rosmo in a future unless lucky temp recruit

Triple Flingers

Wis Rosmo Greyy2

[rich thorn]

then ye, can start with rosm

and then pilot into triple flingers

[late pecan]

I was considering that yeah

[faint rampart]

is e1 ros start not viable?

[prime mountain]

Guys is this average is6 run now...

Bro I didnt kill ed2 foot because I ran out of fights in the bosky to kill it how could I forget

[rich thorn]

is6 is highroll slop, play is5 instead

[late pecan]

Aight then, sounds good. I E2 Rosmo first? Actually no, I need to get Kroos Alter first before e2 Rosmo or other snipers cuz damn, I hate airborne stages

[rich thorn]

[faint rampart]

yeah bro i cant even feel special anymore when every run is like that

🥀

[prime mountain]

Super secret ed1 alter alter!!!

[rich thorn]

or is3

[late pecan]

I'll try to work around it compared to like insta E2 Wis start that can finally hit air lmfao

[rich thorn]

meh, not one with sp*arheads

[faint rampart]

good luck

ive seen some people borrow ros at start so

Its a thing specifically for talons wishadel ban

With shop squad

Its scuffed no matter what imo, shop squad so inconsistent

[prime mountain]

Idk these guys are funny

[rich thorn]

just dogs

(Ik d15 and d18 is the real difficulty but I am not that at the level yet where I know the best strats for all normal / emergency stages and endings in any IS lol)

[rich thorn]

not even heavenly paradise lvl

[prime mountain]

Slandering heaven???

[rich thorn]

but you can handmix there!

[prime mountain]

where hands

oops 50 relics no dps

!

[rich thorn]

[faint rampart]

📝 only talons, i see

[rich thorn]

can bring exu2 with trag

and not fuck yourself up with 2 hands + 2 books

[quick steppe]

trag is just hand no book

[faint rampart]

as long as its fun for you
and I don't think single ending (ed2) should be that big of a problem

[quick steppe]

not many are at the level of knowing the best is5 strategy

only those who are playing erudite...

[prime mountain]

true is5 gamers play soul escort and stall every stage for 2 hours

[rich thorn]

🤫

[prime mountain]

Why does this cap to 4 this is bullshit let us highroll to heaven!

Stir fry isnt capped!

[rich thorn]

bells would be too op on 5+ stacks

better than kings crown

can i play soulescort with talons

[quick steppe]

vaporvenus special

sounds like a player

[prime mountain]

It works even fatedless I think so sure? really I have no idea

[faint rampart]

fatedless sescort is just collections cosplay
which is just tree squad cosplay

[ivory snow]

Holly shit. That's how you got those? Now I learn.

[tiny cosmos]

how likely is it to find a kings relic if you have one life point but arent running lamp in a wish node?

[quick steppe]

as likely as literally every other relic

[tiny cosmos]

oof

[ivory snow]

WHY I AM NOT GETTING GOOD STAT STICKS?!

[quick steppe]

interdependent

[ivory snow]

cries

[faint rampart]

i heard its lamp tier relic

[quick steppe]

beyond lamp tier

in flower squad

pretty much lamp tier for every other squad

[nocturne cape]

Squirrel tier

[paper notch]

how many risk coins are yall getting to warrant all that glaze

[ivory snow]

I do go with max risk coin actually.

[paper notch]

i dont choose to be risk coin poor but the game sometimes just doesnt give me risk coins and i finish the run with like 3 risk coins after having removed the starting bunch

[nocturne cape]

when i play that squad i tend to keep most initial risks

ill replace 2 max prob

[paper notch]

it's that squad specifically?

[nocturne cape]

uhh

maybe on tourist too?

not so much on other squads

[ivory snow]

There's a very powerful combination if you are using the support squad (or getting the cocoon tongbao) and with the ling leisure node)

And I think I am trying to get it 20 times now.

[desert mulch]

When I’m in a bullshit stage competition and my opponent is feng shui

What are the chances of getting unsealed case in Ji shop? I did 5 runs. I even refresh the shop. It didn't spawn. Sad

[steel relic]

100%

You haven’t won a run yet after the update so it’s not unlocked

[vague rock]

Ohhhh

[faint rampart]

🥀

[fickle jungle]

Rookie mistake smh

[hollow parcel]

I FUCKING LOVE IS6 OST

[crystal niche]

What's status resistance

So is my units immune to stuff like stun, cold, freeze, etc?

But my units are getting stunned

[hollow parcel]

i think it ust reduce the impact of statuses

[outer cliff]

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Status_Resistance

[errant siren]

🥹

Can you read more carefully?

It's not complete immunity

It's halve the duration

Of such effects

[crystal niche]

Would be helpful if the game told me what it did but now i know

[ivory snow]

Resistance is not immunity

it's in the term

[outer cliff]

Where are u getting status resistance from that doesnt tell u what it does

[crystal niche]

A relic

[errant siren]

Oh yeah

There's no underline in relics

[crystal niche]

[soft kelp]

Guys is there a list of best units to have in IS6 or to focus on Getting early

[ivory snow]

I would say, just wing it.

expirement

[scenic saffron]

U can check the pins in the general mechanic doc for is6
It's updated with CN ops there too

[chrome tangle]

@nocturne cape where ed4 in ur guide

[sly harness]

Raidian to solve almost everything.
Exu2 to solve ed2/(Trag to solve ed1).
Some help with hit count (Wis/Ascalon).
Hoshi2 because she is strong.
For ed4 bring someone with 4 block.

This will be enough to win anything

[soft kelp]

Is6 is too hard too many conditions i need to meet actual job maaan

[chrome tangle]

And then you ban every one of these

[sly harness]

[muted skiff]

[cursive verge]

Does anyone have a bili link for this stage: https://tomimi.dev/en/stages/ISW-NO_越山海

[muted skiff]

what link

low op ?

no relic ?

mobs routing ?

[cursive verge]

Any link really, I just want to see enemy pathings

And timings

Oh yeah its also on emergency

ill just take the first one

[cursive verge]

Thanks

[somber stream]

Isn't something like this supposed to have a count, or am I somehow misunderstanding the requirement? Promote candle operator from recruitment vouchers dropped right after combat, no stashing.

[errant siren]

It only detect it by 3 things:

• You enter Pathfinder and choose Special Fight option, where you supposed to make future Candleholder ops be alive for 45 seconds long without dying.
• In Face-Off, you pick second option which upon victory, the ops you choose to fight will become Candleholders.
• Or use Special coin that makes one tile electrical and if op survives 9 instances of damage, will make him into Candleholder after battle.

Other methods of making Candleholders...

Doesn't.

Count.

At all.

If you're a pussy, which doesn't use any of these options...
Relic is practically useless.

And does no shit.

[somber stream]

Oh, I thought it was just promoting an E1 Candelit operator to E2 through combat.

So, it's about some other methods of turning an operator candlelit.

[errant siren]

Yeah. The tricky one only.

[sick mason]

Wow thanks Yi I absolutely don't need those ingots

[errant siren]

[sick mason]

Damn

Seems like I'll take out those slugs later

[crystal niche]

what's the result if you got lucky again

me forgor

[steel relic]

Half

Instead of all

[crystal niche]

Wait so sometimes that's just lose lose

[sick mason]

Swapped with Windscoot's atk

Say thx to him

[rich thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-bocchi-the-rock-anime-mental-breakdown-cringe-gif-27026754

[remote badger]

8 hope

nothing much

[sick mason]

Recruit + instant light wow 👀

[slate hull]

what exactly are we working masterfully here anyway

[earnest shuttle]

I hate the 2nd shop rob

[sick mason]

Is it true that ed2 altered version is easier than normal version?

[rich thorn]

in some part yes

because you can get hp+ relics, 1 medic and someone like cuora and stall wave 1 monsters till you kill foot

[sick mason]

At least the good thing is that there's only one place to defend

Compared to normal version where there are 3 damn lanes

[rich thorn]

yep

that too

just place medic + def here and stall 1 monster

can kill others, next wave doesnt spawn till all dead

btw, about foot

[sick mason]

But placing one defender there would make the foot drop on them didn't there?

[rich thorn]

and its first stomp range

[rich thorn]

place on upper tiles and bait on lower ones

and dont place medic with defender too close ofk

[sick mason]

Ouh. I just let the foot stomp on the left area all the time

[rich thorn]

something like this

priority is 3x3 (if there is 2+ ops) > bottom op > left op

[burnt lantern]

Whats the 3rd optiom lead to?

[rich thorn]

fight on special stage

[burnt lantern]

Oh, whats the name of the stage?

[rich thorn]

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

[burnt lantern]

Thank youu!

[rich thorn]

return 50 is actually return 40

cuz he gives discount tongbao and 10 ignots

[sly harness]

Usually Cuora can tank alone, regeneration from her S2 is enough to sustain her (may need some SP)

Raidian S1 is also a great choice for that

[rich thorn]

raidian under the exu2 shield ofk? (oh, forgot she have shield on s1 too)

[tidal raptor]

How is blaze the igniting spark good on is? Is she good on is3?

[sly harness]

Yeee... Or just roll high enough for her S1 shield to be enough

If you get walleye it shouldn't be hard

[sly harness]

She is not. She isn't used in IS at all

[rich thorn]

double ass

cuz primal and caster

🥹

[crystal niche]

[tidal raptor]

Oh I thought she was. Rip then

[sly harness]

Wait a second here, Nymph is an top3 caster

And Mantra has a niche

[rich thorn]

nymph has s2

im sure your not using s3 on her without virtu or another necrosis support

[crystal niche]

yay my reality bending pink hair girl

[sly harness]

You are not using S3.

[quick steppe]

nymph is a "top 3 caster" because the entire caster class can't produce 3 strong units 🥀

🐛🐛🐛

[rich thorn]

just leave that job to spec with wang

[crystal niche]

more res ignore than any fuckin caster hm

[earnest shuttle]

another problem of a class fixed by specialist

[crystal niche]

[sly harness]

Ye, but the point here was about Primal Caster being the most useful brunch since it has 2 usable casters

[crystal niche]

what's lappland2 again

drones yea

[rich thorn]

lapp2 and gg

[sly harness]

Guard

[steel relic]

Big if true

[earnest shuttle]

mech accord

[sly harness]

Click branch

[tidal raptor]

Oh yeah stupid question, is click good with e2 for is?

[rich thorn]

drones have 3

lapp2, gg and click

[sly harness]

Two of them are bad

Third is good because it is free

[rich thorn]

surely mantra is alot better

[sly harness]

You can unironically use her in a max difficulty IS

[tidal raptor]

But do u need to e2 her?

[rich thorn]

welp, i believe you can use that 2

[tidal raptor]

Or module her?

[rich thorn]

and pick yu

[sly harness]

e1 max is usually enough

You are only using her early in the runs

[earnest shuttle]

kjera

[sly harness]

If you want you can e2 her but still she will be jobless post f3 usually

[tidal raptor]

The issue is she’s the only good caster I have

[tidal raptor]

Kk

[sly harness]

Amiya

[tidal raptor]

Oh lol I forgot about her

[sly harness]

(although you are using her for a Medic class mostly)

[tidal raptor]

I don’t have medic Amiya tho

[rich thorn]

just play story till ch14 end

[crystal niche]

wait i just realised sad cat is on banner

[rich thorn]

she is in yellow shop

[icy lake]

huh

[crystal niche]

omg shu

actually good for ed2

try a 234 run

[tidal raptor]

How good is tequila in is3?

[sly harness]

Far from being meta

But ig if you are a 5* only niche player he will be a very good pick

[ivory snow]

good run. I still can't do the thing. I want my ling node to appear!

[sly harness]

If you want to do a Ling loop restart until you find it in Boksy on f2

[winged kelp]

IS6 ending alter is out now?

[faint rampart]

i heard from cirnobyl—

[sly harness]

you get alter ed1/ed2 when going for ed4

[sinful sparrow]

Wtf mpreg tag

🫃

[winged kelp]

Oh.. so it guaranteed?

[sly harness]

Yes

[winged kelp]

And no other way?

I mean alter ending without going ed4

[faint rampart]

😋

[sly harness]

You get them only when going for ed4

[sly harness]

May I ask, from who?

[steel relic]

Cirnobyl

[sly harness]

and what is this?

[steel relic]

We’re really living in an era where people don’t know Cirno

[tidal raptor]

Not really going for meta, I just want to win

[sly harness]

He can work if your roster is really lacking

[tidal raptor]

Will tequila keep me from getting crushed horribly

[sly harness]

But if you have some good 6* save Hope for them

[tidal raptor]

I have sash, surtr, and blaze

[steel relic]

Not guards

[sly harness]

On any voucher

[tidal raptor]

That’s the only good 6 stars I have

That I can easily use

Oh yeah I have kalstit lol

[quick steppe]

the greatest tragedy of all time

[sly harness]

And all are guards .

If you don't have 6* in different classes you may as well draft SA and surtr first

Kal is very strong in IS3

(with her IS module, and as a stun bomb)

[tidal raptor]

Gotcha then

[open girder]

Am I not understanding something or is this just always bad

[rich thorn]

is hoshi2 a good offhand is5 pick?

[earnest shuttle]

damn 2 aspd relic on f2

[quick steppe]

hoshi2 quite usable

good tree squad draft

[rich thorn]

nice ulpi relic

[earnest shuttle]

im gonna fail this free win for sure

[quick steppe]

should be smooth sailing
d14 means you have infinite plans to fuse with for collector

[faint rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8T-e-44cDmOvgB0mJwxUPA

[rich thorn]

ye, just jump into elusive merc

[faint rampart]

not sure if its the same channel

[rich thorn]

[earnest shuttle]

elusive merc is okay

[rich thorn]

ans explode

[gaunt bay]

Ding dong the witch is dead

[earnest shuttle]

the furnitures stage in bosky node tho...

[steel relic]

Wtf

[gaunt bay]

No more Schwarz shilling

😇

[sly harness]

Just bad, you get them because of d7. Can be useful in some "toss X Risk coins" checks

[faint rampart]

a Schwarz is all you need....

[quick steppe]

starting with 4 risk broken for ling looping fr

[steel relic]

Station is actually so dead without Cirno and Cr0w

[rich thorn]

mmmm bosky fights with freeze relic when your dp regen are agents

[steel relic]

We lost the fun people

[quick steppe]

sa2 freeze immunity will feed millions

[rich thorn]

they are the feet guys talker here?

[earnest shuttle]

hold on im gonna do ed4, I would have to get ed4 relic early otherwise I cant scale aspd

[steel relic]

No that was kertacxx

[quick steppe]

do 245 tbh

[sly harness]

Yep

[earnest shuttle]

Talon of hatred 😔

[quick steppe]

floor 4 lnf angle tbh
greed it all

[gaunt bay]

You mean the agendaposters

🥀

[quick steppe]

but f3 lnf probably safer for talons which prints hope anyway

[earnest shuttle]

I kinda rerolled the ed2 lingerer into those aspd relic

[sly harness]

[crystal niche]

[quick steppe]

[crystal niche]

well 145

[quick steppe]

worst statement of 2026 just dropped

[arctic panther]

holy shit that completely negates both of the previous kjerag events' gimmicks

[sly harness]

Although you don't need to worry about stacking Ingots now

Just rob f6

ed1 with Boats is easy even without ASPD

[arctic panther]

135

on d0

[crystal niche]

well

135 ain't bad (totally not cause i did that)

[sly harness]

It is super easy

[faint rampart]

now its bad cuz you did it

[sly harness]

Doing ed3 and ed5 just gives you resources

Without debuffing you in any significant way

[arctic panther]

free double promotion 😋

[earnest shuttle]

im thinking if I should ditch bosky here and
spend all ingot in rouge trade before go into lost and found

[sly harness]

Or even x5

And Candace prints collectibles

[quick steppe]

the forbidden cadence into give up despair for a free collectible

[sly harness]

Not like this

[crystal niche]

the cadence is too easy to kill

[sly harness]

Do it Soul Escort way

When you escort Candace with Kafka

[quick steppe]

any normal squad way tbh

f2 cadence

the yyx special

[sly harness]

SE is 🫃

You can just sleep him through the entire stage

Where with Flingers he will slowly die

[quick steppe]

collections cosplay squad

apparantly leizi2 is good for farming cadence

im not sure how but eyanx keeps saying it so it must be true

[sly harness]

Are we using S1?

Ig she can open stages without slowing him down that much

Something like Yato in SE

[faint rampart]

📝

[sly harness]

Haruka was a giga Hope waste wtf

[earnest shuttle]

when will I get out of this hell hole called d14 trag start talon run

[arctic panther]

reject talon

embrace lamp

[arctic panther]

embrace lamp.

[earnest shuttle]

If I played lamp I would have unlocked d18 by now

[faint rampart]

if trag skin real then you win under 24 hrs

[arctic panther]

all the more reason to play lamp

[earnest shuttle]

stop gaslighting me to play lamp

life with no struggle aint living

[faint rampart]

play lamp reach d18 then struggle

[earnest shuttle]

Just master talon run on the way to d18

I didnt lose bc of talon, I lose bc of skill issue everytime I tried to do ed4 with it

[sly harness]

It doesn't work like this. Highroll difficulties change a lot of things

Like d16 with 3 Plans verticals

[steel relic]

How long does the foot stay down when it attacks

Before the boss

[sly harness]

d18 cooks some of the f1 and f2 strats with Trag because of the SP debuff from bing fractured

[quick steppe]

lie

i fracture the whole game with trag and it’s fine

[sly harness]

I mean ye but you need to optimise some stuff

[quick steppe]

oh ya you gotta learn the start

[sly harness]

Like something that worked earlier may not work on d18

[quick steppe]

but trag is just too strong to be held back

[sly harness]

Ice Age 💀

[quick steppe]

the knowledge check of fractured ice age 💀

pot check tbh

if trag isn't p6 you just cry

or throw everything out and unfracture

[sly harness]

(I died there with borrowed p6 Trag)

[faint rampart]

🐐 washed

[sly harness]

Should be 21 seconds en route and 20 seconds in the boss fight itself

(according to tomimi)

[steel relic]

Well it attacked way too early so I did almost no damage to it

Probably not killing it

What I will be killing however is myself

Where is the pathfinder

[ionic kestrel]

it is rel

[sly harness]

[quick steppe]

run was going fine and then missed ed5 encounter
and no guard voucher(f4 so far) 🥀

[sly harness]

So we should play f4 Clarity

[timber token]

So how hard is ED4 boss to unlock Raidian 2nd module?

Oh hi there

[sly harness]

Not hard at all

Especially if you are doing it only for the module (on d4)

[timber token]

Wasn't it on D2?

[sly harness]

for lv3 you need d4 iirc

[earnest shuttle]

wth thats so boggers

still gonna play it tho

[faint rampart]

is this the good player ive been waiting for, who plays all diff seriously

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/976478719499718757.webp?size=48&name=Binoculars

[earnest shuttle]

I kept dying the dumbest way tho

[sly harness]

This is mostly normal

[arctic panther]

if you beat ed4 on d4 it unlocks all 3 mod levels immediately (same with the alpha module)

[timber token]

Did they just added this?

Or it's different case with her skill

[arctic panther]

different case with her skill masteries because they have different unlock conditions

the modules all have essentially the same conditions just at different difficulties

[timber token]

Btw any news about IS7?

[steel relic]

[static dragon]

there are other news instead

[arctic panther]

how much is the trag skin

[static dragon]

at least 18

[rich thorn]

RA2?

[static dragon]

i havent check the PV

[rich thorn]

[static dragon]

current RA is the RA2

[rich thorn]

Then RA3

[earnest shuttle]

RM2 as perma gamemode pls

[rich thorn]

Or new set of perma harder stages

And not fraud rewards

[static dragon]

current news are 2026 ambient synthesia and elegy were ashes rerun

[rich thorn]

So new theme skins for sure

[static dragon]

the PV shows tragodia and lemuen in new outfit

and random saria

[rich thorn]

Actually, wanna see new IS modes

For someone funny like ling

[arctic panther]

i thought that was a new saria skin

[static dragon]

her appearance is so random to be a skin

and looks like her normal clothes tbh

[languid quartz]

does this mean we will be able to summon 8 (or 9) at once?

[quick steppe]

how much you have stocked in the deployment bar

[arctic panther]

its summon capacity not summon limit

[arctic panther]

this is capacity

[languid quartz]

I was about to bust when I saw this effect bufftoo

imagine 8 without deployment slots LOL

does the deployment limit +2 mean 5 (or 6) tho?

[sly harness]

5

Base is 3

[languid quartz]

oh nice at least it's soemthing in hte middle

[arctic panther]

also when each effect gets activated is spread out across the floors

[languid quartz]

wait wdym

[arctic panther]

so like f1 gives you -9 dp cost, f2 adds onto that with the extra deployment limit, etc

its not all at once

[languid quartz]

aww

that's a bummer

bruh

[paper notch]

the main one to keep in mind is the 0 deployment slots one

it doesnt come online for f3 boss

[arctic panther]

you only have to get to f4 for all of the buffs its fine

[paper notch]

it starts floor 4

[arctic panther]

forgot about that

[languid quartz]

ohh I see so u guys meant incremental

[paper notch]

ye

[sly harness]

Who needs deployment slots on f3 when Raidian solos everything

[quick steppe]

what if they want known is community is central's medal

[sly harness]

(the only time when it feels relevant is like trying 4 difficulties or confusing on f3)

[rich thorn]

ling

[sly harness]

Who is using Ling

Also she should still be fine with 6 slots and mostly solo f3

[rich thorn]

i have a hope

[arctic panther]

ling users

[rich thorn]

they gave her 24 op 3rd skin

🙏

we need more is modules for old ops

also, IS6 has pretty good number of summon relics

but only raidian used often

[sly harness]

We need more modules as good as Angelina's

[rich thorn]

(trag doesnt count)

[languid quartz]

they need even more modules for Wisadel

[sly harness]

Although IS modules are falling off because of relic slop

[quick steppe]

no they’re peaking

ho ol to the moon

[rich thorn]

can we say same about dusk? 😭

[quick steppe]

dusk is the greatest benchwarmer of all time

[static dragon]

ah yes, increase max revenant summon limit to her entire attack range
