I see, I expected everyone to be a girl in this game since the gender distribution on relevant character is mostly girl
I will kill HIM regardless tho

For now I only met crownslayer and that green girl I think and the Ice one too but it was on my previous account
May be a main story thing, especially the first arc
next boss is a guy
amiya ,ishamla is an exception
No ideas, for now i'm not very far in the story as my units needs to be leveled and elited
isharmla isnt skadi
thats an eldritch being
Some eldritch things...
oh...
amiya only then lol
Easy -2 and leak Bear
A lot of EXP
Worth it
Are 5* that bad? They can't even kill the slugs?
i believed in pudding a little too much
to my utmost disarray she does negative dmg to the crushers
rechord u must've been playing badknights again

they can
hung just can't do it alone
(pudding exploded, i forgot)
81k HP 
pram2 looks fun in IS
salter i couldn't possibly care less
I wanna try snow hunter in is5 anyways so i have pulls saved up for her
Meta wise even in IS SAa has some very impactful use cases. Btw are you like a 5* focused niche player?
5* exclusively yes
sometimes 4* when I like them or feel like it
6* left in the dust
they're all useless anyway

Well f me
yeah is6 is giga shitty
it's just raidian spam and I'm getting tired from it
I'm almost starting to regret is3
and why is that
You can try not using Raidian if u want to 

It is bad for low rarity niech players
But if your run get into hell, don't blame anyone
into immediate explosion because I can't do turmoils anyway

and anyways is6 without raidian is just a worse experience in general
It is okayish tbh
You banned Raidian and Exu and you got a very nice challenging but not bs experience with 23 runs
I miss is4
I haven't recruit raidian in is6 for a while except support squad
so overall is4 is still the peakest right 🥹
Still doing fine tbh
In IS4 d18 I trust
petition for an ed5 with 2345 possible 
die
No
always has been, wdym

is4 is the PEAKEST of PEAK
no
"yeah try is6 5* only"
motherfucker


IS4 may be the peakest for niche players but overall all it aged very poorly
I like is3 most
Btw isn't IS5 245 quite manageable even for niche runs?
fair enough
it's just that is6 feels like a chore to go through
in other ISes (minus is3) when new levels appeared and i had to grind for them i was having fun in doing so
is6 is a chore
Is6 is the same
Sooo close
should be, never tried though
why
why does it feel like a chore
spam raidian all over again
exact same runs
Not really if you play with other 6*
Yeah
i don't
Meanwhile IS5 spamming king's relics
But playing without 6* is a big problem
Snowballing in IS6 depends on Bosky a lot
And without 6* you can't clear it reliably
I like tianshi squad
which is good because it's the only is with guarenteed bosky

Tianshi and sui regulator
unless u don't wanna do bosky
Then you will play almost relicless and niches can't do that
going with a squad other than first class feels awful in is6
kinda constrained on that end
Maybe post dlc2
For me it is đifferent
Not on d18 ofc but new economy squads may make niche run easier
First class is okaysih
Sui regulator is just pathfinder spam
Also
I want ed2 man
I need that encounter
And decision node
For my medal packs of is6
Are we talking about low rarity niche runs or normal runs? For normal post dlc1 fighting in pathfinder is optimal
Haven't continuing running is6 for a while
Probably if I finish this run
It gonna tell me
Doctor specter took 148 hours to finish this run or sth lol
Last time it is 720 hours
so im a bit forced to go first class and praying everything else goes well (it doesn't)
but eh well is6 is mid as hell so i'll just finish the rewards and i'll go back to an IS that isn't shit
like is4 my goat

ew...
seaborn glazer

Jk
Oh wait imma postpone running is for a while lol
Ac broke and it is boiling here
As I matured as an AK player (and especially as a high-end IS player), two things occurred to me, the first IS4 wasn't that good at all, second IS3 is one of the best iterations

meanwhile as a casual 5* only player i realised is5 was the best for this and that is4 was still peak
and that is3 and is6 were the worst ISes
is2 is bad throughout anyways so it doesn't exist
wher does is5 stand sir
i'm not even glad i conserved that
the absolute state of 5*
I had to grow into it, I wasn't a fan of IS3 at first too
And Sui related as well
And no feeds are fun

I basically grew up thanks to it, it was the first IS where I really started playing high-end, so I would definitely place it among the good ones
That said, it’s also where the whole IS turning into relics slop began…
does entel benefit significantly from s2/3 m3 or mod in d10 is6
that wasn't really my question
Her second module will be the better one
When it comes to masteries a lot will depend on how you are going to use her. If as a main carry of for example Leizi + Ente gvg they all (S2 and S3) are going to be very impactful otherwise you can probably skip some
well I don't really have many built good 6* so she will probably be doing some heavy lifting
I'm kind of tired grinding is6 either with raidian or 5* because both are shit, so i guess i'll start using my own 6* only this once
no clue who to draft, however
raidian wis trag exu2 ban!!!
pretty much, because I don't have exu2 trag, don't want to draft raidian, and wisadel is e0
Why ban trag, ban ed1 
The enemies will know the taste of concrete
I'm also realising tippi is better than contrail for this IS
hm
well anyways I don't really know what 6* to draft so I guess I'll just draft caster eyja
though hoshialt might be good to draft
So many new gif
you can spam them in another channel if they aren't relevant
(I stole it from here, anyway)
Prama was relevant
She is the caster draft
not you
(will be)

do coupons drop from statuegeists, I forgot
This is6 run sucks so bad I wanna just redo it all over because of how unlucky I got 😭
Normally not
Only with tongbao
Now I remember why I quit IS6 for months
There is a risk coin that allows it
I remember that coin yeah, I just forgot if they do normally
guess only ingots
bad, ok thanks
This draft sucks

Didn’t get any good vouchers or hope 🙁
I checked and for some reason I just had 1 stored medic voucher and this was floor 3, 2 nodes away from the final boss
No hope no vouchers no Tongbao no collectibles
do you mean bruteforce
Red² fell off😢
Yes ?
The on-hit enemies
I don't like them at all
I can fail whenever the stage appear
Rolling high makes it easy too
Maybe not completely brain-dead
But mostly afk
maybe the only good thing about dlc1 is6😔 finally those non good highrollers get something they can't just bruteforce
📝
...
You still have time 
They lied to you 
Sometime I do F1 bosky
Maybe free tongbao toss for more chance to get the 1 Hope coin
If I need a hope for pathfinder

mpreg run 
Just watch the video and analyze it
tomimi can help a bit but it doesn't show cars spawned by Statuegeists
tldr, you can let the first 4 cars do one loop, rest needs to be killed when they reach far right for the first time

This is easier to remember

Yes but to get that information I needed to watch some clears and analyze them first

The carts that spawn by statuegeists do they loop ?
No
If you slow the 4 from the left a bit all 6 will overlap on the left and you can nuke them then
So they go to the "door" and from the left size they go to the upper blue ?
Yup I managed to clear it with -2 lp, first time I have this one
And both options had to be the 4-way map
Wait
Something like this

The blue like colours show the paths of the 4 cars
The green like of the ones spammed by Statuegeists
They have some wait time on the left but you can look it up on tomimi
how broken is tatantuta
🫃
It is incorrect

wait will tuta keep activating and deactivating s1 with dream curio
But they swap the lanes
Arche ros good choice I think
On right
Should be like this (the blue like colours show the logic of pathing of the 4 cars that starts on the left at the beginning of the stage, the green like colours show the logic of pathing of cras that starts next to the Statuegeists and those spawned by Statuegeists)
The strongest Sniper after Exu Wis ban
I wasn't completely wrong with Exu
but I was thinking about Wis... wtf
i forgot to candle hoshialt into f4 bosky
it's joever
death
Just play it relicless 
well i wasted 6 coupons to try tossing into dream of curio f5
it won't fucking let me have it
Dream of Curio is really bad in low power runs
Imo
Timing your skills is much more important if you are rolling low
i mean i'm not exactly lowrolling
i don't
i move onto the next run without much thought
can't be wasting my irl sanity on a gamemode i don't like
ed2 is a stinky dps check
sorry 🫡
Like iirc my only loss in Beyond Mount and Sea was caused by Dream of Curio
I was using Angelina as the main hit count
And she killed the cars in the middle

Looks like Durin... bald
How much +ATK% would optimally used Exu alter need to DPS him on d18 
Will ~+50% be enough 
It is only 1 mln HP more
Oh one of the t3 debuffs adds another 1.5 mln HP 
yeah, we are going to need a second exu alter at that point
Or just +100% ATK
true, I suppose 2x is 2x
Siblings only n*che? 
First is easy to counter (just rob), second isn't even at its full power yet 

hsu hui at d15+ its it true power
Isn't it d12+?
d15 talisman r just better
True
I was thinking about it affecting Specialist
Because the one in the picture only really affects Supporters, relevant Guards mainly don't care
guard in question r just basically nothing
expect saki
since leizi2 just eats it
Is she relevant? 
ente calls it as a breakfast
a fraud for a fraud ending
We will have Hool IS module for the cow soon
how good is it 
Hool with IS module in general or as an IS6 picks against "big" bosses
Unplayable vouchers RNG wtf (I am post f2 Bosky)... (ofc it is playable but ass)
I am practicing Tianshi Bureau runs for dlc2 btw

k ill stop saying you fell off😔
Is it me who is falling off or is it IS as a gamemode? 
relicslop 😨
🫃
dont worry bro IS7 will be peak
meow
I am about to hit 10 extra Coupons
Why did you promote wiscoot 
Hope curve
No Hope to recruit a 6*
Everything was e1 so adding some damage was nice
No need to go for 4 Yan ops
Who said that you can't just trigger them all at once
Who is this cutie
Is she in leizi event
which ending is the "out of nothingness" and "black n white" is6
4 and 3
oghey
her name is literally the name of the encounter and the first word in the body text 
we cannot beat the allegations
Mucho texto
My only concerns are the choices
So she's IS exclusive?
I think I can finally get rid of the curse of @earnest shuttle
bad news is, I only have 1 aspd relic
this is my team, should I switch anyone ?
also team recommendation for each phase ?
1 is good enough on non lamp squad
You have more dmg relic to compensate
u still have curse of d15 to 17
ill do ed1 after that
the whole reason why I was stuck because talon with ed4/5 hard when account issue 
congrats :roshype:
and now you can take Trag start squad tree squad d18

bro forgot the medic for p2
not really, I forgot to not to use amiya s2 on phase 1
talon curse is never over
more often a stats issue tbh
then there is more chances to fail on p1 before that
he got close, good luck next time
oh well just wait few more days then spark wisadel
is kjerr team real in is5?
In is5 I’m pretty sure it’s garbage
How u gonna afford allat
Everything is freeze immune anyways
at least sa2 no hand, and pram2 is flinger hand
🥹
damn, no way to stall quillon if no ethan
qiubai
Trag
El Technologia de Tragodia
but I mean, if krejj sa2/pram2/gnosis
They ain’t do shit
yes
U can hoe stall 😇
I've got a question: How is Wang in IS?
good
good
res having a cap is very nice for him
They should uncap res

Cuz fuck arts damage dealers!
Okay, I was just worried they made him too good or something. I guess arts is still less than phys for IS.
god for relicless 

Actually the most overhyped unit ever bruh
“Arts wis” and it’s just the damage output
🫃
this shit is aoe range like londinium cannon too
gotta be the best way to balance
🫃
chen3 is better and funnier
needs some brain to use
cuz of dragon pathing
if only it was long ass sp
but 45?
for like 8 traps?
it’s pretty long
but you can pre place and manually cancel
so there’s a lot of ceiling there
That's the mark of a well-designed operator. Real. 
ngl, would never think what wis is well balanced op in 2026
I was told high diff IS prefers physical ops
And high risk CC prefers arts ops
we all knwo
looks inside
its ceobe
pls
Maybe. Maybe not. 
raidian goated say less
btw
we all forget one thing here
elemental dmg is still not nerfed
and all enemies have 0 resist for it
its literally true dmg on cd
private server record 💀
one wisillion damage, zero real world applications
Wang does have a lot of relicless IS record anyway
its like
not even wang problem
but how game made by itself
while def doesnt have a hard cap
res have a 100 hard cap
priv server records are usually clowned hard on cn
I think satori told us to hush it down
not sure if we can share it

he has two man NM elusive merc 👀
Is5 relicless is pure unadulterated slop
i will be the pram2 spammer 
(and pram 1 spammer
)
Can Ines S3 hit air? Might need her for Ware User
I know that but I wanted to check for S3 specifically
funny how my first impression of this guy is that he always has cake in his images
I think ur just gay buddy
bleh i'd go both ways depending on the art style
anyways. how well does pepe do in IS2
Poorly
she's a unit
uhhh
what diff is this anyway
no real reason to recruit her
so she's waste of hope
you dont really wanna be wasting hope/vouchers in is2 cuz that is lowkey all you got
Was there a reason you recruited her? 
she does well in RA for farming resources especially rocks if u have her
i got tired rerolling the first recruitment voucher and just chose her cause she was decent for me
i was borrowing
rerolling?
I think he means refreshing (hopefully)
i forgot what its called lol
sound like u need more friend with better guard support
is2 guarantees e2
yeah, i have bad memory
How was the only guard your friends list had to offer was Pepe 
no i need less. the others appear more often than the one i wanted. i have four people have ulpianus because i use ops that they had for other classes
Tried beating Cannot on Floor 4...Oh what a greedy MF I was and so God smited me for it
what about saki start?
is there a way to know the most used ops in an is?
i already have her maxxed
just make the friend who has the supports you want "buddy" and he's gonna pop up always
yesa, but that stats are fraud
in game but this info really wont help you
like, tons have torns in it
theres a buddy function???
Most used guard is thorns but you shouldn’t use thorns 💀
thorns known scaling unit
is that so
ye this info is worse than useless

actually detrimental
cuz i believe its total, not updated per month usage
Bruh
Nah even updated per month it would still be throns 
It's like how the most bought skin is Fang Cruciata (the free one)
it hasnt updated since is2 release me think
i just wanted to know so i can level more ops
You can just ask here
Yeah but like don’t borrow Pepe
better either check guides in pinned messages, or ask specifically about class here
i was curious about her skin and skills, and i just happened to find someone with a maxxed pepep so...
and i'll just use my saki later on so shrug
Thorns spotted 
my degen experince has just been heli dropping her lol
i use artu
typhoon over wis
occasionally

how to lose a life point without losing shields
Specter Alter? Seriously?
Burdened mind

Aka yellow toll
i find them useful
i've only just started playing in IS stages and only got all medals from IS6 and 5
like two months at most
i really just wish there was a sandbox mode
IS5 is sandbox-ish 
so i could just have the collectible effect on what op i want
yeah, but it requires rng 😭
thank you
wait. whats up with specalt in IS5?
CharSiuAlterPie released before IS6 too
Apparently yeah, like Shaper Caster (Elbanana) summons
what is this IS lingo bruh 😭
It's not IS lingo I'm just weird with names (Exusiai Alter)
lol
tf is that naming scheme
idk either, just lol
why would you call exusiai alter char siu when that's already a canon nickname for a different op
first time hearing about some "char siu", personally
who is char siu

luck with the vouchers
She says "Char Siu Apple Pie" when using a skill
-# ah 
I thought she was GAOOOOOOO
and in ages past gone that name seems to have been left
chen's derogatory nickname for swire is char siu cat
Almost like they're...
Words Past Like Smoke (IS6 Ending 2 finale stage)
swire also conveniently happens to already have an alter too
so having "charsiualter" is doubly confusing af
Char Siu is just a common food everybody can use that name
ngl, when i saw instructor swire i thought she would be a different class
Executor is the name of 2 different things at once
nah, at d18 its literally do that strat or die
😭

expecially if 245 t3
wtf non d18 talks
If you ran without ed4 you still have a lot of space to do stupid shit in IS5
Time to get my grubby hands on is5 high diff after certing hoe
not a luck, but skill problems
im only at d14 whats up in 18?
skill issue, problems in skill
~~omg i can do global burn and post it on yt ~~
d16 is a big brake point
more hp and stats, 3 plans to travel, heavy debuff on yellow toil
and f3 debuff relic
Yes. And we can shame you for that
grrrr
And on d15 6* finally gets their base Hope price
That is 7 to recruit and 3 to promote
is ho'ol IS module good?
better than mid
No but has use cases
but not op
Mainly in IS6 post dlc2
me playing IS is just me throwing random ops and collectibles to a wall and seeing what sticks
Maybe Ingots Talons with Rosmo + Hool core
minimiya?
And force Cadence on f2
Into perma stall Cadence on f3 because you run out of shields
The ed5 prereq mob

blast casters has to be one of the sub classes that is completely unusable right
nah, you can use them even if there is 1 tile (in general)
just.....
not so impressive
(only Ifrit though because she is a great RES debuffer)
and too big dp cost
eben sentinel kill had ifrit maybe...idr
i guess that debuff is a good thing. a weaker one tile ranged support lol
yes
Not in IS where you generally don't use Arts
omg tlist thanks
omg, hoshi and nian
What’s this for?
IS4 SGL2 meta
bruh saileach
NIAN MENTIONNED
Whats sgl
I just lost a face off because a talisman spawned on Wiš through the hour of Sui drifted into the blue box
It is like 2 years old
tournaments
tournament
Known "bug"
Skywalking Global League 2 (SGL #2) was the second edition of Arknights' unofficial "world championship" tournament for Integrated Strategies. It was played on Expeditioner's Joklumarkar (IS4) Expansion 2. Announced on January 04, the tournament's qualifiers for the five servers were held on February, while the main event started on March 14 a...
SGL2 aka “half of our contestants got eliminated from emu crash”
more sources to get better
god the CN quali was fucking absurd
SGL2 kinda outdated
ever wondered if arknights also had their version of an emu war
more people shall know winsok
I still fondly remember that one EN commentators stream
rather niche, especially on the global scene, there is a bit more of them on CN
nice job (but there is still some room for improvement) 
I stop the statutegeist at some point due to paranoid
Maybe it was wrong point
So some enemies go straight to left blue

how do yall get here
This isn't the IS mod 
<@&586570970345635868> more robux!! 
whats Ed4
I am not sure if this stage is Ed4 exclusive
ending 4
It is just a f6 stage
oh
You can get it in ed3 and ed4 runs
You are like sooo new to IS or something lol?
So It could also appear when I do ed3 right ?
It just I randomly not get it back then when I did ed3 ?
Unlike in IS5 both ed3 and ed4 share the same pool of combats
Wdym normal stage ?
The combat that appears on the floor before the boss
The 1st time I played this stage. It was EM tho

Surely went straight to hell
I wasn't talking about normal as in normal/EM variant here
Non-boss stage ?
mount and sea was released in dlc1, so you probably just didn't do any ed3 after ed4 came out?
Ye
Where are my kings set tier collectibles? 
(ig the coins)
Although I cleared ed4 once. Still want some recommend for who I should bring. I bought the "enter wiw" relic after getting F5 candles . so probably can't bring everyone
I don't want to spend all the ingot cause I am having both ingot atsp relic and tongbao
Doing this for non raidian clear 
As for ops, that should be enough
Lol
Because you just need like 1 dps for left lane, 1 solution for token and 2 dps for token/right/cow
Exu2/Trag/hoshi2 should be enuff
If good dmg on relic side
Just, use s3 exu2?
But it's persona preference
Faster dps + hoshi2 redeploy
Idk, when enuff atk and aspd I'm usually using s3
Tried to find some youtube video about this duo
I thought if no good redeploy candidate we should use s2 ?
Or s3 scale with buffs better ?
relicless EM Green Hills Speak Not uses them
Eh, it just unloads dmg alot faster
- ammo relics better scale
Or faster?
In total s2 have bigger total dmg, but in short cycle s3 better
- redeploy
So can waste hoshi2 s3 and toss her again
Or saki
Kay. Guess it will be fun to try it once
Did not bring saki this game. Almost no guard voucher
My first clear I brought 46 LP

But have no atsp things
Only like 10 LP this time

But maybe s3 could be better with that +2 sp onhit coin and atsp right ?
I still have the f6 shop left
That's at least 3rd time I see that from you
🫃
I would add 3 more and bail.
You know its bad when bro is drafting hoe in IS6. how many units did he ban...
Oh yeah you can clear easily, can get some of the statuegiest too prob
Its pretty easy with some anti air, ela basically soloes the right side
nah he is a temp recruite
Omg highroller?
kinda low i will only hit ~105 collectibles
and i even picked Coin Geists
a true gambler

ye and her costing 25 DP
is there an info about the maxmin dp coingeist gonna generate ?
Is andreana worth choosing (temp recruit)? I was planning to get kroos2
But really I never tried it before. But if I am not wrong that dagger thing is one time deploy and the swap OP is 0 DP cost whole time. Right or missing something?
it can reach 99dp ?
It swaps the DP costs at the beginning of the stage and I believe it will take Ines normal DP cost not the 0 DP one
This draft was fine with it 
24 cost robot
The one from IS3 is good because it additional applies -3 DP cost for everyone
so coin geist randomized as in giving random dp cost for each ops or just swap the cost of everyone ?
just swaps
oh then it doesnt sound too bad
If one of your units has 99 DP Cost, yes.
Bladedance Hoshi
Swaps the cost from everyone randomly.


Definitely an ed4 draft
its terrible 
(unless you get lucky
)
Kinda low... 
Even though the run looked quite good
until dlc 2

I made like 8 sub optimal plays though...
- lost one pathfinder fight
- leaked Rat on 4diffs
- leaked Rat on strange tales
- leaked 2 chests on 4 diffs (those guys are very tanky if you don't have damage wtf)
- did have 3 Risk coins for EM feast of fruits
- rolled normal combat from seaborn encounters (to many flowers or something) - idk probably not really my mistake
- I bought a Risk coin before buying "Interdependent Luck"
- I leaked the special animal dragon
considering everything dies when you can just highroll, guess its time to recruit ops who help with animals/chests:run:
Ye, I think drafting May and bring her with S2 if you have a free slot will be a good practice
Btw fun fact I didn't use the "use conserved vouchers" option in the pathfinder at all in this run
bro is fight maxxing
dlc2 practice... Trust
She was e1 btw 
another feng shui gif? 
it's not relicless (and I didn't record it)
Hi guys how do i stop patriot’s attack that obliterates every ranged ops i have, i swear fighting him used to be a walk in the park
you either outheal it while having enuff hp to not die from 1st shot, or need relics what giving shields
not exactly out heal, but rather out scale your HP to survive it because it's a single shot
only the first shot is lethal, after that Guardian Bulwark will give you 50% DR
Ok thanks
What do i do if none of my ops are strong enough to survive the first hit

Hmm okay
it is a different skill
and if I remember correctly, there was some shit with diff stuff
like wis vs lingerer one
You just put down a melee unit like hoe on him and he dies
😭
hi meowillo
just meowsnter jump on grandpa
play RA

or IS3 d18
if you dont love yourself
Yeah thats like the only "challenging" IS stuff I havent touched yet
But is3 is balls
Ofc I do it'd be trivial
Maybe I embrace the Kermit in me and go play relicless is4...
who don't you have?
nobody!
Well no sorry, Pram alt and silverash alt are not yet in my account that will be in 2 days...
do you have 300 pulls?
I have 
damn
And the luck of highrolling!
62... Looks fine
But Coupons low roll
I have no idea how to get more of them reliably
Simply get +1coupon on risk coin and huh yeah
Borken relic
we are sooooooo fucked



time to get a job
no way
I have everyone here
maybe is3 arc after trees
worst ending
CC is frame lottery now 
I like flowers 
😉
my favourite Endfield game mode CC
i could probably spend like 150 by end of banner i think
surely thats enough for pram and sa2
1-7 time
Yeah I'm trying to get that Wang kill for Raidian module (the good one)
hope they dont make it seasonal this time 
you can do that on d15 too 
Yeah except I'm not that good at the game, And I'm missing quite a few good operators
question, is sa2 better than ines for is?
depends tbh
still have 0 ideas what would they do with pulls economy
on the is?
tossup for most iterations 2-4 and then probably better for 5 and 6
i c, and would u even want to level up sa2 or is it fine leaving him at e1? (i mean on the is level thing)
e1 is usable but you probably want to promote
They are pretty much equal with different specialities.
I would go Ines personally. I like the stall & range
But Silverash Invisibility detect on E1 is nice too (and the damage is good)
no hand
he can hold a quilon lane and surfer exists over ines
i c, thanks!
sa and surfer dont really serve the same usecase
in IS3 i think he will be better
you are only darfting flag in it
so he can replace it
yes, its not hard map
heretics freeze slop lfg
oh were comparing to ines
but still, stealth units on d18
dunno
