is-station

[soft kelp]

I just finished ending 2 on 10 and now im trying to do ending 3 on 11 and im kinda scared

[sly harness]

Ye it should be completely irrelevant

[soft kelp]

Oh

Miss understood

[sly harness]

Just play more pathfinder fights, EMs and t1 Face-Offs

[soft kelp]

Pathfinder

[sly harness]

Those fights guarantee coins as a rewards

[soft kelp]

Sht man i need to read and pay attention to what nodes are called

[brittle grove]

Yeah those probably easiest bet

[sly harness]

The one where you use vouchers is a Pathfinder

[brittle grove]

Be greedy in summary

[soft kelp]

So in total Is6 has 5 endings right

[soft kelp]

Lol

[sly harness]

Shops and Bosky shops with only coins (those are quite rare) can also have it

[soft kelp]

Take risks u say

Whats ur fav starting squad

I really like the 5 coins one

[sly harness]

Yes but in global we have 4 for now

[soft kelp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1158049223351222312/1435872026228428950/IMG_6136.gif

Which ending id this

4?

Looks intimidating

[brittle grove]

I just having fun free 6* squad for now

[sly harness]

Normal stage

[soft kelp]

Rhats a what now?

[sly harness]

It is a new f6 stage

[soft kelp]

Jesus christ

Look st that poor guys life

Going from 50 to 0 in seconds

[sly harness]

f6 stages have a shared pool in IS6 so you can encounter it while going for ed3 or ed4

[soft kelp]

Oh

[sly harness]

Ye but it was played completely incorrect in this gif

[brazen bane]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-its-fun-doe-arknights-players-be-like-gif-26262160

[sly harness]

This fight is demanding but it comes down to using the gimmick correctly

[brazen bane]

gif has the same energy as this

[soft kelp]

I seee

Man i really wanna find a strat to break IS6 just like IS5 for fun

I dont wanna sweat my ass everytime

[faint rampart]

🌸

[brazen bane]

its called dont play a15

[soft kelp]

I saw there was the ling strat but thats very unreliable

[soft kelp]

Yea but

[faint rampart]

i heard flower squad is reliable

[soft kelp]

In is5 right u can be op and enemies can be op its just kinda fun

[brazen bane]

have you tried the new flower squad

[soft kelp]

Yea i mean

Its RNG

Wether u get the ling node or not

[faint rampart]

🤔

[flint token]

Are you inside a bizzarr fragment

[sly harness]

In IS6 you will break the game every time when you learn how to optimally use Raidian

[flint token]

it’s prob the drain hp if nearby unit thing

[soft kelp]

Shes alright ngl

[sly harness]

It isn't as brain-dead as spamming Lamp but it can be as consistent and give even higher rolls

[soft kelp]

The most game breaking experience i had was using tragodia with the risk coin that lowers deployment time by 65%

[sly harness]

Average ed4 run be like

[faint rampart]

does flower exploit also rely on ling node?😵‍💫

[sly harness]

0 redplyment time, 0 DP cost Yato alter S3 is fun

[sly harness]

No

[brazen bane]

flower is just a good squad even if you dont do loop

[sly harness]

But you need to get the entire setup of coins for it to work

On higher diffs that is

If you play on low and retoss cost 1 Coupon you just loop it every run

[faint rampart]

i see the hard part i heard is getting interdependent luck...but like you get 45-60 relics by f5 anyways

[sly harness]

It and Cocoon Silk it thinks

[stray dove]

this is hilarious....

[faint rampart]

sounds more manageable than restarting for ling which cant be controlled
but idk

[brazen bane]

idk how people can play Ling I got so bored before I even get 100 relics

[sly harness]

Restarting for Ling takes like 5/7 minutes per attempt

Just quit after f2 Bosky

Pre dlc1 it was faster because shorter floors

[stray dove]

I got bored using up all my ingots on Nian

i can only theorize doing it infinitely with Ling

and i can't fathom wanting to do that

[brazen bane]

[sly harness]

It will be faster post dlc2 with the ability to skip the coin toss animation

It is the most annoying part

(although the entire thing is annoying)

[gleaming jewel]

oooooh dude my memory is so ass

i literally read that thing a minute before going into the stage

thanks

[brazen bane]

many such cases

[gleaming jewel]

thankfully haruka was broken enough to cover up my skill issue

[cunning talon]

What a run

Done with d2

[tired wyvern]

I don't think that this is a fair trade off

Tf man

[cunning talon]

Baguette op, trust

[tired wyvern]

[brazen bane]

British national treasure / French national treasure

perfectly balance

[cunning talon]

Ngl, Wis + starter squad feels easier to beat than trag + special

[tired wyvern]

😭

[tired wyvern]

Wisadel is wisadel

[cunning talon]

Wisadelrot

[tired wyvern]

-300 pulls for the cause this banner

[cunning talon]

Gonna prepare all to E2L69 S3M3 mod3

[tired wyvern]

[sinful sparrow]

why 69

[tired wyvern]

Farm red certs just to max pot her by hoping for sniper tokens

[sinful sparrow]

[cunning talon]

💀

[tired wyvern]

You know why

[tired wyvern]

[cunning talon]

True, 67 😔

[tired wyvern]

Whoa chen kinda doin it

😆

[cunning talon]

Thank god I unlocked Raidian e2, now is gonna be a walk in the park

[sinful sparrow]

cringe ass 15 year old thing

😢

Kinda slop

[tired wyvern]

Lmao, true tho

[sinful sparrow]

…but special squad gives you a free e2 raidian?

[tired wyvern]

The whole reason ppl say it is to slander it, atleast what the people I know do

[cunning talon]

Kringe

[tired wyvern]

Hmmmmm

[cunning talon]

I haven’t e2 Raidian before, is that op

[tired wyvern]

Cant wait, after IS2 I'll be done with everything till IS6, gonna max out my radian soon

[tired wyvern]

Imma go eat my baguette 🥖

[astral epoch]

cwhaat's that bottom one do

[static dragon]

same result but easier

[midnight summit]

Raidian in IS6 is pretty goated

[sly harness]

The 5 Ingots one has different results than usual conditions

[midnight summit]

Risk or flower coins

[sly harness]

Idk what flower does (I was never able to hit it)

Risk is -1 max LP and +4 Shields

[astral epoch]

yeah i just meant the 2 or fewer candles

or well

why is there 3 options now is my question really

[sly harness]

QoL

[astral epoch]

oh

okay

[static dragon]

aint the third option just go back and consume no candle

[astral epoch]

okay sorry

[static dragon]

[astral epoch]

four options

also i thought the candle one was a special choice or something since i had like 3 nodes with it as the bottom lol

[cunning talon]

E2 max Raidian at the beginning???

[midnight summit]

I always got the +1 relic from both idk

[midnight summit]

Thats +1 relic

[sly harness]

You mean you are getting Collectibles from the options with -5 Ingots and coin toss after that?

Maybe on flower toss

The risk toss is always -1 max HP and + shields

[static dragon]

it's easier to do with fewer candle count choice

[midnight summit]

[static dragon]

since returning from doubt node without doing anything doesnt cost candle

[astral epoch]

No I just didn't know the 'low candle' choice was like

just a regular choice/condition lol

[static dragon]

free real estate

[astral epoch]

cause it's new right

[sly harness]

dlc1 thing

[cunning karma]

yeah it's new

now they give you the third option so that you don't get stuck at a 4 Yan or try your luck node :p

[static dragon]

or dozen hope choice

[cunning karma]

run, Nian is a fxcking scammer

[astral epoch]

oops

[faint rampart]

🤔

[cunning karma]

[sly harness]

not realy, I usually use like 100+ Ingots that I have left when I shop rob on f3 or f4 and I get some stuff from it

[sly harness]

it does something in the Hope gamba (like gives you one roll with guaranteed reward per entry)

[old geyser]

it stronger than that

it also makes the hope cost stay at 2

[faint rampart]

bosky clears without class squad is so

[sly harness]

ye, a have no idea how would you approach that with bans

you will need to "just get" something that can carry you

[faint rampart]

it feels so schizo

maybe i just accept 2-3 candles per fight

fufk you caster voucher

nymph my hope

[sly harness]

okay you have Hoshi just e2 her and you will be fine

also most likely f3 will be the place where you take your first Bosky

(you can take f1 to fish for ed4 if you are going for it)

[faint rampart]

how to e2

[sly harness]

just get

[faint rampart]

yeah usually f1 bosky then get ed4 and not bother with bosky until later

[faint rampart]

:reallyMad:

[sly harness]

Scout f2 can be a play for a carry

[faint rampart]

yay

theres scout

the benefits of not doing ed4 how broken

[sly harness]

surely you will get more then 1 Scout in the run

[faint rampart]

dont think i need that considering 23
now i can do some bosky fights with hoshi2

f2

[brazen bane]

but he's dead

[sly harness]

Although it is true that there is a benefit to not doing ed4, you can prioritize Scout over f2 Bosky. In an ed3 run, you get a lot of extra Candles, so you can skip f2 Bosky fairly safely.

In an ed4 run, you have less Candles because you are saving the f5 ones for f6

[faint rampart]

running flower/risk for coupon so vert travel not an issue

[toxic frost]

Should I get saki or exu2 first on is6?

[sly harness]

exu

saki is at most very mid without high scaling

[balmy elk]

is there a consistent way to get chalice in is6?

[sly harness]

no

[earnest shuttle]

who needs chalice when have Stove Alight

[faint rampart]

gambled on ed2

🥀

[balmy elk]

nah just had a lot of ingots but no use

[sly harness]

average IS6 run, you end up with like 200+ Ingots and nothing to do with them

although now we have guaranteed shop on f6, so not robbing early allows you to get a lot of things before the f6 boss

[balmy elk]

yeah no ling, no chalice, spent it on nian/tavern

[sly harness]

I was a bit worried about my matchup into Fisherman with the Trag + Saki team but U-Official clearly carried this fight

[faint rampart]

clearly

[wicked shadow]

Chat i finally win a 7% chance

[crystal niche]

Who's that top left with notes

[wild geyser]

How to beat this stage? The red box and blue box is like close asf and its ling event mob

Dont tell me only ascalon like operator

[signal niche]

Is this enough?

Or I should m3 mod 3 him like the guide said

[sly harness]

Saki (who would most likely be distracted by the Talismans as soon as they appeared)

[sly harness]

use the cars to move enemies to the right part of the map

[errant siren]

Cars moves to the right, so you can let go there and then kill everyone.

[wild geyser]

Oh

I nuke the cars

[errant siren]

We know lol

[sly harness]

dont touch Statuegeist, they spawn more cars

[errant siren]

That's why you die

[wild geyser]

Damn

[sly harness]

https://b23.tv/avEntkS

here some cn guide

[wild geyser]

Thanks

[sly harness]

https://youtu.be/SWAjwu8nJQQ?is=liG-RhVRrBrIh9P_

Or here is an example of a full clear

[old geyser]

I got a shifei border with 2 Ling nodes the other day when what I wanted was a Shu node to take advantage of the wheel

[ancient jacinth]

how it genuinely feels to lose a 13 hour ling setup because the WiFi gets cut off the first battle outside of the remnant

[sly harness]

Risk squad run btw

[open finch]

😔

Unfort

[sly harness]

deserved

[remote badger]

unfortunate

[sly harness]

Another one (I only need the ed1 badge this time)

[faint rampart]

so much efforts for ed1🛐

[remote badger]

so slop

[sly harness]

I can't speedrun IS6, I just can't play suboptimally

[steel relic]

So called free thinkers

[crystal niche]

oh ngl i meant the hello kitty highground op

sakis note blended in with the pink circle

[sly harness]

wait, you seriously asked who that is? (U-Official, the one who carried this stage)

[grizzled nexus]

How many tavern exist in ED4 Wonderland? Is it just 1?

[sly harness]

just 1

[faint rampart]

😢 treating IS6 with so much respect and love

[sly harness]

Great f3 stage btw

Nah this is the ass thing about IS6, some nodes are just dead when you are not playing with Raidian

[stray dove]

i guess you can't help but try to get value from that node?

i would've not bothered if there's no Raidian

[faint rampart]

not punished for leaking

[sinful sparrow]

we need to bring back penalty for leaking

not that it would make is6 any harder since there's 300 places to get shield

but is7 hopefully should have it

[earnest shuttle]

make it optional or high diff cus thats just experienced players opinion, newbie or people rarely touch IS would just hate it

[amber pawn]

how do i get a carved instick again

[amber pawn]

frfr

[faint rampart]

carved inkstick🤔

[amber pawn]

oh the 50% hp thing was what i was missing lol

[quick steppe]

mikagpt

[amber pawn]

lol

PRTSgpt

[remote badger]

no

[amber pawn]

ok

[remote badger]

questionable name

[amber pawn]

questionable how?

[remote badger]

easily confused with the whole game

[sly harness]

Not optimal placement

[amber pawn]

it all connects though

[sly harness]

I usually just do a loop in the middle

And throw Raidian somewhere in the corner

Also

Like here you got it on f4 or somewhere

[amber pawn]

it all connects, and i made it so it spawn camps the enemies

[sly harness]

And I just rolled it at the beginning of f3 without Raidian

This is just unfun

[earnest shuttle]

do I have mandela effect or ed2 relic used to cost like 50 ingots to get it ?

[remote badger]

hallucinating

its

30

[earnest shuttle]

must be doubt node then

[sly harness]

Don't mind the Sui

[amber pawn]

can you explain whats the difference. its either idont remember stuff or just missed some encounters

oh i see

i already placed raidan at random so bruh

[sly harness]

Not sure tbf (your doesn't look bad but I had seen some weird placements)

[amber pawn]

i also had like the +7 aspd per 5 ingots with 157 ingots so, placement didnt really matter

[sly harness]

Ye I think it can struggle a bit relicless, like the golems gets quite far then

[amber pawn]

bruh i really should try harder. i never get the othe endings

my rng is just awful when im actively trying to get to it

[sinful sparrow]

?

please stop lying

3 and 4 is guaranteed every run if you're chasing them
same goes for 2 if you play correctly in bosky

where is the rng part

[neon adder]

This should be thrown right?

thats the flying thing i cant block nor kill lol

[sinful sparrow]

why would you

[brazen bane]

find a way to kill it

[sinful sparrow]

thats 15 ingots closer to golden chalice

[brazen bane]

[sinful sparrow]

you're better off finding a way to kill them

rather than pussying out

[quick steppe]

it’s a free 15 dollars

top tier thought

[neon adder]

I have wis, gummy, click, and amiya guard. FL1

[sinful sparrow]

you do know you can just

keep it

until you can kill them, yes?

[neon adder]

wait whattttt? they can be clicked? i thought they automatically appear in the next combat stage

cos i see these gold flying things just wheezing past me T.T

[quick steppe]

I’m sobbing 😭

[brazen bane]

[late pecan]

Casually loses all ingots

[dusty sorrel]

Does end of times work in is6 Jinxi borders, or any bosky in general? i just ottained it in floor 6 and my mind is telling to run it down

[sinful sparrow]

failing combats in jinxi/shifei border don't end your run

so, no, it doesn't work
and the stack is retained

is5/4 boskies, it does work

[dusty sorrel]

thanks

so can the refresh node tongbao result in combat? the only way i can think to run it down rn

[sinful sparrow]

it can

but why going that length

leave it alone bruh

[open finch]

Idk context but always run it down

[sinful sparrow]

i hope your next run you don't find debilitate

madge

[open finch]

I hope we kiss

Dumbass

[sinful sparrow]

ok but like
why hope when you can do it now

fking goober

💢

[open finch]

Y'all are gonna make me blush eventually

I'm dead

[sinful sparrow]

[neon adder]

Man, this IS is really difficult than IS6 T.T

Will Narantuya, Gummy, and Click work?

[dusty sorrel]

why not

[open finch]

Doesn't narantuya have a hand

I thought fireworks worked for her or something

At that point might as well go archetto

[quick steppe]

narantuya strong in lamp

we're gonna start with erudite squad

naratuya and tin man start

[open finch]

We really do be saying anything

[sly harness]

One of the best dlc0 carries

[quick steppe]

is5 has great variety wcyd

[open finch]

I would wager Jessica alt start unironically less ass than narantuya

[quick steppe]

you would lose the wager

e1 carries up to f4

doesnt need e2

[open finch]

How broken is narantuya

[quick steppe]

is a sniper so you can start with tin man

[neon adder]

Is it because I wasnt able to E2 wis during the 2nd floor? (I just really want to complete at least 1 ending lol)

[quick steppe]

yes naratuya e1 is about 10x better than wis e1 😭 😭

[open finch]

Wait why not go sniper medic squad then

Or is it not unlocked

[quick steppe]

because then you dont wheelchair with blueprint 😢

[sinful sparrow]

schizo

where the fuck is the scaling for erudite

please dont say 498324798234 trees

[open finch]

What are these words cuh wtf is erudite

[quick steppe]

50 billion trees

[sinful sparrow]

the squad that starts you with toil limit and 2 tree cards

[sly harness]

Btw where did your vouchers go? I see only 3 vouchers here and you get that amount on f1 alone

[sinful sparrow]

DEATH PENALTY

[open finch]

[sinful sparrow]

he should be providing value to shareholders instead of playing sts2!

[cunning talon]

Is sui the only final boss in is6

[open finch]

I want a mountain spirit that looks out for me and loves me very much and guided me out of a forest once but I don't remember due to magic or whatever the fuck

But we can't have everything

[quick steppe]

so we're gonna start with erudite squad

[sinful sparrow]

i'm gonna have to stop you right there

[open finch]

You should start with bobbing on defsupp

[sly harness]

the only one that can be intresting to play

[remote badger]

collection fatedless

[open finch]

Pretty good operator

[sinful sparrow]

:concerned:

[open finch]

You know for a time bobbing amiya was actually the best performing defsupp start

[sly harness]

but now even that doesn't happen very often, since he just dies

[open finch]

Better than horn or CE cuz like

It's horn or ce

[faint rampart]

bro has sakiko on his squad

[cunning talon]

Yep

[sinful sparrow]

omg sakichan?!

[arctic panther]

prams the better starter

But I have Raidian and Wis

[open finch]

We need a defsupp amiya bruh we can't be taking her for full hope cost

Actually ridiculous

[sinful sparrow]

draft raidian for tempo instead

[cunning talon]

Don’t have a boss killer

[open finch]

I guess it works

[faint rampart]

whose boss are we killing with a smile

[open finch]

Sami I guess

Zero stats

[sinful sparrow]

emotional sentinel

smile

[arctic panther]

borrow exu

[open finch]

Sentinel is so sad 😔

[dusty sorrel]

is it just me or theres not much doubt

[open finch]

Pull out the exu technology and you just win

[cunning talon]

Exu2 or exu

[open finch]

I was playing is4 with someone and they never played sentinel before so I just whipped out a sentinel no leak on a newish account on tablet

2025 ops really are that good

[faint rampart]

iirc second bosky has limited/fixed number of doubts or something

(could be wrong tho)

[sinful sparrow]

can i expect exu s2 + ela mines to get cresson to half in an overcharge

:naruhodo:

[dusty sorrel]

RNG god had bestowed me to run it down

[open finch]

I remember calculating total damage before and exu s2 under shu/heidi/ela buff was like 2/3 or something

Then you add like sing and relics and whatever

Just faceroll

Back in my days we played mlynar degen

It is also unacceptable to receive even minor assistance, such as checking enemy spawns, instead of memorizing them in your head
And yet, using specialized tools for calculations is allowed?
If that’s the case, why not just tell everyone to bring calculators before the league even started?
In a competition meant to test individual skill… I can’t accept this.

[sly harness]

You mean IS6? (The Sui one)

[lime chasm]

yea sui one

[sly harness]

Trag and stall the boss away from your units

[lime chasm]

unless i specifically start with supporter/specialist, the rng play often do not drop supporter/specialist

[sly harness]

https://youtu.be/RDLSsuIdT1w?feature=shared

[lime chasm]

so quite a few times hit those mob spawn without ascalon or no trag to stall

[muted skiff]

Like ed2 you need attack debuff and exu

[sly harness]

Atk debuff isn't needed on low diffs

Or when you use Exu

Exu just tanks

[lime chasm]

got no problems with other ending somehow lol

[sly harness]

Tak more fights/shops

[lime chasm]

doing that all the time, its bad rng lel

[sly harness]

Not getting any is very unlikely when you are getting like 5+ vouchers per floor

Do you have Raidian? Or are you still below d2?

On other vouchers you also have hit count solutions like Hoshi alter, Entelechia, Leizi alter, Wisadle

[lime chasm]

lv73 promote 2. i dont know acronyms. i know the acronyms for operator. just i dont check guide at all to know the acronym for other stuff

[sly harness]

Raidian with S2 also solves most of the hit count en route

[lime chasm]

maybe i should change strategy with raidian on mob spawn ones then..

[nocturne cape]

usually its fine to bring Raidian S2 on default

The current Skalter mod that just allowed her summon to stay longer and have -5 seconds redep time?

[gaunt bay]

[azure nacelle]

Is Rosmontis good in IS6?

[sick mason]

Meh

No flinger hand

[neon adder]

is the last one 1 on 1 fight?

[sick mason]

Also if it comes to hitcount, Wisadel S2 exist

[sick mason]

Every option is 1v1 here

Choose carefully

[neon adder]

awhh hell naw, ill just pick lizard

[sick mason]

Dude just pick Viviana

I'm sure your Narantuya will do good 🏃

[neon adder]

will narantuya S3 do good?

[sick mason]

Why don't u give it a try

[neon adder]

ok ok

thanksss, got her in 2 hits lol

[quick steppe]

the most economical draft of all time

[faint rampart]

📝

[nocturne cape]

📝

[neon adder]

what the hell is even this stage

how to get rid of that one flying around

[brittle grove]

Those jetpack will waste their pack if u block them. And they have limited distance when fly b4 landed

[late pecan]

This reminds me of Kazel mechanics

But no chains involved

[brittle grove]

Or chain yea

[late pecan]

Basically just drop any op to make them fly then drop later and burst them.

Try to burst the ones spawning from the two red boxs before they even fly.

Prioritize the spikes as well

[brittle grove]

U can make them fall to hole

[sick mason]

... Are you really holding back that much hope?

Even until floor 4 your only 6* is Narantuya

[late pecan]

I haven't checked their mechanics

[neon adder]

so I shouldve position Narantuya on the left-er box and looked right,

i dont have much 6 star built in my account, just reed, SA, asca, Surtr, ines

im going crazy, even IS6 was easier to finish

[late pecan]

Have you tried borrowing Wis

[brittle grove]

They will fly and waste their pack when blocked, so if u block before that wall they will waste pack on hole

[neon adder]

Yes, and I cant even reach 3rd floor. cos rng to E2 her

narantuya helped me to get 4th floor for the first time ngl

[sick mason]

Blud

[gaunt bay]

😭

[late pecan]

You mean, blocking them before the rock obstacles?

[brittle grove]

Yep

[late pecan]

That's.... interesting.

[quick steppe]

if you put two blockers in front of the red boxes they just kill themselves

one of the easier maps once you figure that out

[gaunt bay]

ehhh

[late pecan]

Welp I learnt something new today. I just burst them to oblivion lol

[quick steppe]

the hidden friston P draft for that free no deployment slot blocker goes crazy here

nah the most baffling run of all time we got the 0 hope on anything by floor 4

[open finch]

I rmb there was something about pathing logic change so they get holed even under mvspd increase

Which was a mood

[late pecan]

I am surprised, given the amount of vouchers you get from Floor 1 to Floor 4 and flexibility with Plans in IS6 but still not being able to E2 Wisadel.

[quick steppe]

let it be known that yes naratuya can carry up to f4 even without e2

[late pecan]

I wouldn't be surprised. Especially Firepower Squad and Frequent Dispute, I hate those stages ngl

[pure oyster]

is stormeye worth taking (is2) if you've got hope for may or kroos2

stormeye free though

[late pecan]

Probably not imo

[sick mason]

Free is free

Kroos2 costs 3 hope while May costs 2

[late pecan]

Oh I forgot the initial recruitment, not the E2 cost

[pure oyster]

right, i think save my hope for later

[sick mason]

The E2 cost is just 2 hope for any 5*

[late pecan]

Can Stormeye handle ED1?

I used to hate ED1 but BSL is worse so...

[pure oyster]

welp i lost already

terrible team

[late pecan]

Oh no what happened?

[late pecan]

What squad?

[pure oyster]

deepcolor, utage, stormeye, myrrh

[late pecan]

Where did you lose, actually

[pure oyster]

it is an easy stage tbh

but i positioned things incorrectly probably

and got overran

[late pecan]

Which stage

Specifically

[pure oyster]

i'm new to is2 and let me look it up

[late pecan]

You can probably just describe the stage

[pure oyster]

"accident"

[late pecan]

Is it the red mist stage?

[pure oyster]

nope

[late pecan]

What enemies?

[sick mason]

This stage???

[pure oyster]

it has a bunch of paratroopers and metal spiders

yes

[late pecan]

Oh..

[pure oyster]

my deepcolor was e1 so i only had three tentacles and they died

i tried to move utage at the wrong time

[late pecan]

Based on this one, you don't have arts dmg for metal spider, and you only have Stormeye to handle the casters.

[sick mason]

Not a single 6*?

[pure oyster]

no it was only my second battle of that run

[sick mason]

Isn't the metal spider has very high RES?

Wait no that's metal crab

[late pecan]

I am pretty sure it's high defence, not RES. Or it could be both

[sick mason]

Is it this thing or no

[late pecan]

Been a long time since I played IS2.

[pure oyster]

yea "metal crab" i guess

[sick mason]

Because that's metal crab and it has S+ res

[pure oyster]

sorry wording

[sick mason]

But the def is B

Don't use arts dmg to attack it

[late pecan]

Wait

[late pecan]

I am still trying to figure out how this team lost to this stage lol

[pure oyster]

mismanagement

[sick mason]

Very poor drafting

[late pecan]

If a metal crab has B grade defence, Stormeye might be able to handle it.

Not a single 6* tho

[sick mason]

Borrow Exu alter from the beginning

Or Wisadel or Tragodia

[pure oyster]

that would use all my hope

[sick mason]

Wait no Trag deals arts dmg but he has nervous impairment anyway

[late pecan]

You can borrow units. I think IS2 is the only IS that allows E2 on borrowed units on class squads

[sick mason]

Start with 3* is a must

[pure oyster]

then i would have to upgrade my 3*s it's over for me

[late pecan]

Have you tried Sakiko

[sick mason]

Using 4* in IS2, 3 and 4 isn't very feasible

[late pecan]

[sick mason]

Truly broken

Using class squads and getting instant E2

But the hope cost is still the same

And then that thing got nerfed hard in IS3 and 4

[pure oyster]

specifically for borrowed? is it ok to use my own exu2?

[sinful sparrow]

skill issue
Wang no diffs it

[late pecan]

This works on all IS, I think. It's just borrowed support unit that is an exception I think

[sick mason]

Are u saying that u don't even raise your 3* in your acc?

[pure oyster]

i uh have raised a few of them

[sinful sparrow]

Only IS2 where borrowed gives promotion

[late pecan]

Compared to higher rarity ops, 3* is cheap to raise lol

[pure oyster]

i kinda neglected them

[sinful sparrow]

3 onwards don’t

[pure oyster]

i used spot and kroos1 a lot

and the others i ignored

[late pecan]

This one yes

[open finch]

is2 good?

[sick mason]

Raise these ones for IS2-4: Kroos, Spot, Midnight, Orchid, Popukar, Ansel, Fang

[sick mason]

Oh yeah raise Steward too

[late pecan]

You can do Sakiko Spot Kroos, or Orchid Wis Spot or Ansel Popukar Wis
Idk what's the starter squad vouchers in IS2

[sick mason]

The same as most IS except IS6

I mean the trio class squad

[late pecan]

Anyways, not only are they cheap to raise and relevant for IS, they also relevant in Story mode lol

[sick mason]

Not the name of that squad

[pure oyster]

i usually start without 6* in the other IS and then get one eventually

[late pecan]

Wait wha

[pure oyster]

usually three 5*s in IS5 and IS6

and i use the random recruitment a lot

[sick mason]

Bold

But did u know that starting with 6* would make your run less miserable despite they cost a lot

[late pecan]

Ye I forgot there's three starter squad vouchers and the last one being 5* temp random recruits lol

[pure oyster]

in IS2, you only get a free 4 star :/

[late pecan]

That might be an issue

[sick mason]

There's no such thing as free 4 star in IS2-4

[late pecan]

Don't you get 6* unit at the start

[sick mason]

Unless temp recruitment

Or relics that reduced hope cost

[pure oyster]

it's the last option, where you always get 1 free 4 star temp recruitment

[late pecan]

Why choose that tho

[pure oyster]

for fun

[sick mason]

But that one is very random

[pure oyster]

yea

[late pecan]

Oh I mean sure

[sick mason]

Like its not fixed like sniper defender caster or guard medic supporter

[pure oyster]

i get to use a lot of ops that i don't have raised etc

[late pecan]

Play the game however you like then

[late pecan]

I mean

It does help teach you how to be flexible

Problem is that it is random

[pure oyster]

yea, sometimes i get really screwed

[late pecan]

You won't get to ED1 consistently

[pure oyster]

like two casters and a supporter

[late pecan]

And also uhhh

You have your own roster to work with

[sick mason]

Borrow one top 3 6* and you're good

[late pecan]

They are the ones you usually use the most, not the random operators.

[pure oyster]

i have several top 6*s

[late pecan]

IS2 is usually just Wisadel, Sakiko or Exu2.

[sick mason]

Supporters are dogshit except Tragodia

And Haruka

[late pecan]

Most IS are usually done with 6 stars and 3 stars, rarely in between unless free 4* or temp recruits

[pure oyster]

i've been mostly playing with 5*s

[late pecan]

I disagree tbh

[brittle grove]

Is2 have ange hand tho

[late pecan]

Supporters are highly contested in general

[sick mason]

Outside IS6?

[late pecan]

Well, it's Tragodia, Haruka, Angelina and there's Raidian for IS6

[pure oyster]

well, the IS i've played the most are 5 and 6

[late pecan]

TacFort my beloved

Supporter spam, ignore defender vouchers besides hoshi2 and guardian defenders

Global cat from Trag, Haruka heal, Angelina weightless shenanigans, and then IS6 with Raidian doing solocarry .

[sick mason]

That's basically like 3 supporters being valuable outside IS6

Of course casters have it worse

[pure oyster]

i've tried raidian in is2 and jeez the 16 cost summons are painful

[quick steppe]

casters have a grand total of zero

[sick mason]

Raidian's proficiencies doesn't carry to other IS

[late pecan]

It's just Logos by himself if you dare to use him

[sick mason]

So that sucks

[pure oyster]

she is still pretty good imo

but not broken good

[sick mason]

He's a "caster" that deals necrosis dmg

[late pecan]

Outside of IS6?

[pure oyster]

yea

[late pecan]

There's better options

As usual

[pure oyster]

maybe so

[sick mason]

Logos is not a primal caster but more primal caster than the actual primal casters

[late pecan]

Logos is a core caster

Technically

[sick mason]

Yes but delta module

[late pecan]

(Also does AOE dmg and necrosis so like... core caster is single target, which is funny)

[sick mason]

Skill 1 just makes enemy gone

[late pecan]

Wisadel Exu2 Sakiko are consistent options across all IS in general.

[sick mason]

Pram alter would probably dethrone Logos as the best caster once she arrives

Or who knows

[late pecan]

Well Saki vs IS4

That's an exception

[pure oyster]

new run

[sick mason]

Ah IS4, the only place where Degenbrecher is valuable

[sick mason]

RIP a slot for Steward

[late pecan]

Why not Orchid or Steward instead of recruit

[pure oyster]

my steward needs leveling

[sick mason]

So?

[gaunt bay]

saki slop

[sick mason]

3* are very cheap

[pure oyster]

i'm saving my resources for hadiya

[late pecan]

Orchid probably better than Steward in IS2 tho

[gaunt bay]

mid in 2 shit in 3 mid in 4

outclassed in 5 and 6

🥀

[sick mason]

Orchid is supporter Steward is a caster they're different :v

[late pecan]

Uhh, Orchid is a decel binder

[sick mason]

But the funny thing is that the reserve caster is valid for both caster and supporter voucher

[pure oyster]

it was caster

[late pecan]

Orchid feels better to use with the slows vs certain enemies in IS2, mainly slow moving ones.

[late pecan]

Oh so Steward then

[late pecan]

Hoshi2? Hadiya?

[sick mason]

Who the heck is Hadiya

[quick steppe]

before mantra steward was the only offensive recovery caster

[sinful sparrow]

?

[pure oyster]

upcoming https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Hadiya

[sinful sparrow]

bro is talking bullshit

please dont talk anything if you havent cleared highest diff

thank you

[sick mason]

A mercenary guard?

Wha the

[late pecan]

Okay I am aware Saki is not as good.

Sorry

[sick mason]

So basically this Hadiya is a mercenary guard, which is just merchants but... guards

And consume more DP

[late pecan]

Feels like just another 5* class

Unless they turn out to be strong 5* unit with that archetype

Or niche, most 5* are like that

[sick mason]

Wait, I heard Zima alter is next 6* in CN. What class is she?

[sinful sparrow]

does the source you hear from not include that

[quick steppe]

earthshaker

nyamu and pepe class

[sick mason]

Second 6* earthshaker huh

[sick mason]

Odda has left the chat

[arctic panther]

odda doesnt exist

[simple rover]

i heard that she is really good on IS mode... so i max her... lol

[sick mason]

Only IS5 and 6

[quick steppe]

man she not even e2 most of the time

[sick mason]

Also ye u don't really need to E2 her

[pure oyster]

every op that has a summon deserves e2 imo

[remote badger]

beanstalk is an exception

[sick mason]

By that logic then just E2 Vigil, Magallan, Mayer

And then you realize that most summoners just sucks balls

Because Raidian exist

[pure oyster]

i would do that if i had them

i do have max deepcolor :3

[faint rampart]

😔 station fell off

[pure oyster]

its too bad that deepcolor does kinda suck :(

[exotic tangle]

Deepcolor sucks

[neon adder]

Hell naw, do I really have a chance to complete IS5 -_-
Which one to pick?
Team is, Trag, Humus, Reedmedic

[exotic tangle]

No way around it

Like no way to replenish your summons is so ass

Especially in IS

[exotic tangle]

Wdym

Is this f1

Floor 4

[exotic tangle]

Wtf

3 man fr

[faint rampart]

[exotic tangle]

You'll have to take epoch

Fr

[neon adder]

i do have the standard ops, the free def, archer, caster, medic

[exotic tangle]

Oh

Uhhh

Nah i think elusive merc will still kill you

Bs stage

[neon adder]

Any recommendation what to do first here?
cos those purple field will kill my ops

nvm, i found a free tile

[simple rover]

her new skin is cute and she deserve E2

[exotic tangle]

Damn what the hell is that draft gng

You pick end4 early or sth

[pure oyster]

i guess i will level my 3*s... i just used all my money to max melantha and mostly max popukar

[faint rampart]

🤔

[pure oyster]

i was already poor

[late pecan]

Epochal Gaps isn't that bad imo. I think it's just free plans stage

[crystal niche]

the problem is that you might have too much plans by the end lol

and need to delete some stuff

[late pecan]

That is true but that's typical IS5 when it comes to plans.

[chrome tangle]

just snowsant crane her bro

[late pecan]

IS5 Plans my beloved

[crystal niche]

[pure oyster]

i love snowsant crane

[late pecan]

If only they didn't have that much toil with the damn Flourishing debuff where Plans are +1 or +2 Toil

sad noises

[late pecan]

Was that from Rhodur's Gate right

The reserve Ops

[sly harness]

This Gate?

[chrome tangle]

IS5 in 2026

🥀

[sly harness]

This certainly is very lacking as a f4 draft but probably Trag can carry (although he won't have damage if this is a height difficulty)

Also Amiya Medic is a better default pick (for this map Caster is nice, especially on e2, she can help a lot with Spines)

[pure oyster]

Defender maxing

[civic tinsel]

why hello there

[faint rampart]

get used to highrolling every IS6 run

[sly harness]

[tired wyvern]

Ouch

Imma try playing IS6, maybe IS2 later?

[gleaming jewel]

What are some good options for dealing with left side of is6 ed2? Ideally solo. I heard Ascalon s2 Leizi s3

Ascalon s2 failed last time for me at d10 but it was probably because she's unmodded e2lvl1

[faint rampart]

ange🤔

[gleaming jewel]

s3?

[sly harness]

Ascalon laks damage for Sharpedge, she will only reliably kill Iron Spearhead

[faint rampart]

@lukas answer tyvm
ive mostly used s3 cuz target increase😵‍💫

[sly harness]

Generally none will be able to solo it relicless

Ye Angelina S3 is the pick for ed2 left

Wisadel S2 is also good

[gleaming jewel]

So if i'm bringing a dps to the left side, i probably can get away with ethan s1 for handling the hitcount?

modded

[sly harness]

If this DPS has some hit count too

Ethan is very slow

[faint rampart]

theres also yato2 s2

[gleaming jewel]

uhh greyy2 reed2?

who else do i have

[sly harness]

Greyy has literally 0 damage

Against Sharpedge

[gleaming jewel]

ah high def?

i'm probably shizo but blaze2 on s3?

[sly harness]

Ye but she is a support not a main solution (like Angelina + Yato is the solution used in relicless clear)

[sly harness]

I have no idea how she works

[faint rampart]

is that not s2

[faint rampart]

i see📝

[gleaming jewel]

s3 gives like 30 ammo and she rapidly spits out aoe fireballs, 25-30sp cost can't exactly recall

something like 2k atk relicless iirc

arts ofc

[faint rampart]

seems better

[sly harness]

Personally I am usually using Angelina or Leizi2 S3 with some help like Ethan/Greyy

[gleaming jewel]

depends but yeah can work too

i developed a habit of using s3 against hitcount

[sly harness]

If you roll ASPD they both can solo it

[gleaming jewel]

maybe there are some lower rarity guys that work well here besides ethan? i have a bunch of 4*s e1maxed

[sly harness]

Supposedly Nightmare

[gleaming jewel]

tsk don't have her unfortunately

[sly harness]

Is a tech for Iron Spearheads

[gleaming jewel]

aight thanks everyone

[gleaming jewel]

ah right it's because she kills herself against big hitcount since she can't proc burn XD

[toxic frost]

Is beanstalk good for IS6?

[brazen bane]

decent, nothing spectacular

you'd still rather pick agent if you can afford it

[toxic frost]

Is cantabile better to build then?

[brazen bane]

yes
