#

is swire alter worth putting is module on?

slate hull
#

the way you are phrasing that makes it sound like you already have her

#

in which case the question is confusing because is mods are really cheap

#

and yeah, it is a solid upgrade

you couldve made her do anything else pluuhh

SA2 might not be able to produce DP with S2 but slashing 11 DP cost at the cost of 17 SP is already insane....

#

Can't imagine if it added DP production as well

brazen bane

in some way its better than actually printing

sick mason

Its like seeing pioneer vanguard producing 11 DP in an instant but with much shorter SP cost

For fun value, Ente and Stainless have some pretty funny applications, and Swire just has a very interesting kit that makes her very versatile. If you’re interested in meta value, Mon3tr is by far the best pick, her ASPD buff is pretty busted. Her S3 is pretty fun too. However, if you already have a really strong healer (like Eyja alter for example), Mon3tr doesn’t offer much in my opinion. Don’t ask me about what Vina and Necrass are worth, I have no idea how their kits work

Sleep deprivation DocSmile

I need to sleep too... It is almost 5am for me

placid umbra
#

But I mean like if you want big damage, you already have a bunch of other units who are dedicated to doing damage in all sorts of different wacky ways

brazen bane
#

its never enough

sly harness
#

You don't have big True damage

#

And it is relevant

brazen bane
#

🚬

sly harness
#

Also she is like the best Archetto partner

placid umbra
# sly harness You don't have big True damage

Back when I played this game consistently, Kal'tsit and Nearl alter were great sources of true damage, though this is in part because they were the only sources of true damage back then. I don’t really know how well those two units aged

sly harness
#

Without her Archetto is almost useless

sly harness
#

Especially in IS environments

sick mason
#

The supporter voucher is getting even more stacked...

placid umbra
sick mason
#

Kal'tsit true dmg decayed

sly harness
#

Ye and good scaling with collectibles

sick mason

Mon3tr (as own unit) doesn't

sly harness
#

All the on deployment stuff

nocturne cape
#

First expansion 1 run on EN i believe

heavy pumice
#

true dmg huh
its strictly case by case for this type of dmg
for IS m3 got the advantage

nocturne cape
#

Funny freeze

stray dove
#

the only advantage Kal has over Mon3tr

#

is that she can lane constantly

#

Mon3tr needs to activate skill to do that

placid umbra
#

For some reason I thought Mon3tr’s damage decayed too. I have no idea where I got that from

stray dove
#

and the redep summon advantage

sly harness
#

I mean Kal also has her S2 which is better almost all the time

stray dove
#

but you wouldn't recruit Kal just for S2

sly harness
#

You use True damage main against IS5 bosses

stray dove
#

yeah

brazen bane
#

Kal has better healing

sly harness
placid umbra
stray dove
#

well....she has a different purpose in IS3

#

those stun bombs are pretty good

brazen bane
#

also mon3tr is an actual summon not a transformation which has its advantages

placid umbra
#

Is there a community term that differentiates playable Mon3tr from Kal summon Mon3tr?

#

Because using the same name for both gets confusing

sly harness
#

In IS5 Sniper medic you S2 is also her more relevant skill because you draft M3 anyways

brazen bane
#

just guess from context

#

: p

placid umbra
#

Bruh

sly harness
#

I will probably just call it Kal

placid umbra
#

I saw someone use Mon3tr-chan to refer to the playable version

sly harness
#

And from the context you will usually know what I am talking about

stray dove
#

My god I'm getting such absurd value from Saga to finish kill requirements in modules

#

since she spares enemies

#

so your module ops gets the kills

brazen bane
#

but... mon3tr chan is applicable to both

placid umbra
stray dove
#

i mean

#

i thought about which ops don't actually take kills

#

and yeah

#

Saga helps in that regard

sly harness
#

Is this relevant Bnuuy

stray dove
#

yeah doing Pralter module req

#

she needs BI-7 kills

#

so bringing good ol Saga again

sly harness
#

You farm those kills on OF slugs regardless

stray dove
#

no, this is the stage-specific ones

sly harness
stray dove
#

i don't care

sly harness
#

She can kill 5

stray dove
#

i want it to overkill

placid umbra
#

Ju is doing this for the love of the game

#

He wants bloodshed

sly harness
#

At this point I would bring a buff army for her

crimson sage

Immma gonna post flex

#

Mods cannot be stop me

placid umbra
#

Flex? In is-station???

stray dove
#

nah i brought my trust farm team. But yeah good point. Should've brought Skalter

crimson sage
#

Oh

#

Wrong channel

#

Lmao

placid umbra
#

Is Skalter still relevant these days

placid umbra
nocturne cape
#

sure

stray dove
#

just for kill requirements

#

helps nicely

nocturne cape
#

shes still one of the best options if you need a buffer

#

buff giver?

stray dove
#

a permabuffer

nocturne cape
#

is buffer the correct term

#

idts

stray dove
#

without cooldowns

#

it is the correct term

brazen bane
#

oh yea Hoshi module trait is an extra hit count right

stray dove
#

we use debuffer for the other case

brazen bane
#

thats crazy

nocturne cape
#

but buffer has an actual meaning

placid umbra
#

I love Skalter but I personally never noticed a big difference with Skalter buff versus without. If anything, her S3 chip damage is more noticeable

stray dove
placid umbra
#

But that’s just me

stray dove
#

yeah like extra insurance

#

or extra protection or safety

#

non-gaming term of it

stray dove
#

it improves HP, ATK

#

and improves Tenacity

#

none of which adds hitcount or even ASPD

#

oh you mean this additional proc of damage

#

ok you talking talisman interaction

sick mason
#

More ways to get rid of talismans

But dlc2 just straight up making talismans losing hp automatically

True

#

Oh shi game news

#

Honestly I did not expect Estelle of all units to get a skin

stray dove
#

wym?

#

she was an old 4* unit in dire need of a skin

#

it's actually easier to guess who gets a skin depending on how long they don't have any

#

UNLESS YOU'RE A 2*

placid umbra
#

Even the robots get better treatment than the 2 star units

placid umbra
#

I kind of want to try an Arknights version of who’s that Pokémon

stray dove
#

if there's any form of pattern to be had

#

I'm hoping the remaining 2*

#

get their alters in MH collab 2

#

thats the smallest amt of love they can get

placid umbra
#

Does it have to be a MH collab? It could easily also be a different collab

stray dove
#

well

#

it depends on the collab

#

the only reason we get alters in MH collab

#

is because MCs in MH series are blank slates

#

boring fuckers

#

and the more written NPCs are.....still not good enough to be playable status in a collab

#

not when they keep changing every game

placid umbra
#

I do think it would be cool if Noir Corne and Yato got original alter forms

#

as in, not related to a collab theme

stray dove
#

they don't exactly have the most outstanding backstories

#

and even by RI vets

#

they're not even close to EOs who have yet to be pull-able or recruitable

#

although Rangers' past and Durin's weird quirks even amongst other Durins is pretty interesting

#

as for Noir and Yato.....ehhhh

brazen bane

I mean

12F from distance:

brazen bane

its so easy

and hopefully, 12F too

12F alter would be game changing trust

brazen bane

12F's mysterious friend still nowhere to be seen

stray dove
#

heh, i now get why Pralter's S2 doesn't improve her ATK

#

because can you imagine

#

that high ATK getting used as measurement for snow dmg

#

thats why they worded it differently for it not to be the case

#

S3 does get that perk but it isn't perma skill

brazen bane
#

thats what IS relicslop is for

stray dove

haha

good point

Malediction

stray dove

stray dove

damn do you remember those shitty CN players who was bashing SAlter before he got released?

#

i hope that was an eye opener to some global players

to know that CN players are just like global

#

majority are shit

earnest shuttle
#

I think the same happened in global when he first came out in CN too

#

they called it "newtoy syndrome"

brazen bane

what other vanguard lets you deploy a whole team at once after their DP cost has already been inflated by redployment

stray dove
brazen bane

even if they have crazy dp regen, they cant just break the dp cap

I still remember when people considered it the harder F5 map in vanilla IS4

and i keep mentioning MotD is harder

Is there a better open I didn't think further

stray dove

well

#

my opening ain't potentially common

#

although with SAlter

#

that'd be an easier opening

river bone
#

Yeah I do hope it gets easier once I build him

stray dove
#

hmmmm

#

can Hoshitter be dropped as the FIRST drop in Musical Disaster?

#

i reckon with S2?

river bone
#

Ah first

#

But where

#

Upper left?

stray dove
#

S3 might be too slow without laser

#

S2 doesn't care due to off rec

stray dove
river bone
#

But dont the golem thingos bypass block if unlasered

stray dove
#

golems get less tankier with laser

#

golems just have a higher block req

#

which Hoshitter solves

river bone
#

Ah

#

Should've tested that

#

I'll try next time

#

Anyways what are the better squads for is4? Like, starting squad? I always run special training to not suffer from hope consumption but is there something else that's recommended?

stray dove
#

here's desc

stray dove
#

Geexu

#

from there just recruit very powerful new ops

#

like Hoshitter, Pralter, and Wis

#

etc etc etc

river bone
#

Geexu?

#

Caster sniper?

stray dove
#

Exu Alter

river bone
#

Ah?

stray dove
#

Geexu = Geek + Exu

river bone
#

Oh yeah but I mean

#

Like

#

Squad choice thing

stray dove
#

iirc IS4 squads tend to be the most balanced thing

river bone
#

Like leader squad, gathering, support and else

stray dove
#

that it could be anything that just helps you at the start with hope

#

or maybe those that help the IS4 gimmick

fickle jungle
#

Speccast exu alter start

stray dove
#

it's not as cut and dry as other ISs

#

IS4 had the most balanced squad lineup

fickle jungle
#

You can fish for e2 start but e1 works fine

river bone
#

Yeah specialist caster might be it

stray dove
#

yeah

#

Speccast is Geexu + Pralter easy

river bone
#

Given hope cost is 7 i am not able to get a 6 star at the beginning unless the bonus free thing gives me hope

#

Aw it does make beginning with as your heart desires worse in comparison

#

I usually go with that for the fun

#

How would yall order the is in order of difficulty? I'm relatively new (began beginning of December last year) and began with is4 because I feel it's the hardest, not as challenge or anything I just prefer beginning with the ugly bits. So yeah, how would y'all order it? Out of curiosity

stray dove
#

regulars would just rank it based on what's hardest in highest difficulty

#

and ngl

#

a lot might rank IS2 as that if there's enough RNG not going your way

inland elbow

river bone
inland elbow

exu alter makes almost every map super easy

it doesn't yeah

Or does it?

stray dove

i mean it shows that it doesn't

inland elbow

max difficulty is purely for the fun

inland elbow

only doing ending 1?

river bone

Or does it see little play

Yeah

Like simplest

I only want the resources for now

oh you mean d10

you might as well say it's d0

river bone

Yeah d10

stray dove
#

in terms of how we rank it

river bone
#

Geez

stray dove
#

the only thing of note that's below d10

#

is IS3

#

because it inflates hope too fucking early

inland elbow
#

is5 is the easiest < is3 < is4 < is6 I guess

#

maybe is2 is the hardest on d10?

#

probably

stray dove
#

probably

inland elbow
#

but that's kinda cheating

river bone
#

Is6 is 2nd hardest?

gaunt bay
#

maybe is6 hardest on d10

stray dove
#

kinda....

river bone
#

I feel raidian just laughs at it

stray dove
#

IS6 has a pretty hefty gate for knowledge checking

inland elbow
#

honestly I'm trying to think about it from the perspective of a new player

river bone
#

Or is raidian banned for the ranking or something

inland elbow
#

and like a new player might struggle to abuse what makes is6 easy

stray dove
#

same for IS6

inland elbow
#

whereas is3 is super easy to abuse nowadays

stray dove
#

if we're talking blind players

inland elbow
#

just draft trag and exu alt

river bone

Hm i see

gaunt bay

well i think u can kinda random bullshit go in d0 is4

you dont have to deal with anything that makes is4 hard at all

well, my measurement was during its release

#

these days

#

Geexu will tear through IS4

inland elbow
#

is4 has harsher d10 map design probably

#

but like exu alt and trag stomp still

#

is5 is just so easy to win that it's not even funny

#

can do it in 10 minutes

river bone
#

I just had like 2 runs per is before clearing is6 (atm) and beginning trying is5 and felt 3 was the easiest

gaunt bay
#

go beat is5 with both hands tied behind your back

#

😇

inland elbow
#

monthly card and I'll do it

river bone
#

Five I'm saving for like last because I find it interesting

gaunt bay
#

almost tempting offer

river bone
#

Wait 5 is the easiest

#

Oh that's fine

stray dove
#

if D0

#

IS2 is easiest

#

but it does ramp up some conditions pretty fast

river bone
#

And d10 similar to d0 right?

inland elbow
#

I'm not sure

stray dove
#

due to lack of stat scaling

inland elbow
#

I still think is5 is the easiest

#

because justice in is2 exists

stray dove
#

ok so here's how we might consider some things

#

d0 means

inland elbow
#

and that's like 100 times harder than anything is5 will ask of you

cunning karma
stray dove
#

overall map shittiness for blind players

river bone
#

D10 is2 is still easy?

stray dove
#

AND Ending 1 bosses

river bone
#

Yeah i heard something about that

#

Being able to do the same type of run over and over

#

Tbh sounds boring

#

I might move onto that for the resources

inland elbow
#

go for high difficulty and different endings bro

#

it'll be fun

river bone
#

I just had the first impression of it was cool

inland elbow
#

or at least try different endings

#

I can't imagine a more miserable way to play IS than to spam ending 1 over and over

stray dove
#

indeed

river bone
stray dove
#

especially the newer ISs

#

do diff ending routings very interestingly

#

with as much variety as they can at least do for each boss

inland elbow
#

once you're bored try going for other stuff then

#

it's definitely not point efficient, but it's sanity efficient

river bone
#

I'll see yeah

#

Thanks

Dusk gets a stray too

welp im fucked

Oh noes

stray dove
#

fucked up the stomp aggro huh

nocturne cape
#

You need some hitcount here

#

Pram is actually goated here

stray dove
#

yeah since Ed2 alter means you have to solve the spears

#

furn counts as ground units right?

#

or we talking her S3?

chrome tangle
#

what does pram do

#

i dont have her

pure oyster
#

i messed up... i can't e2 hadiya because of ch15 materials AmiyaDonk

chrome tangle
#

so time to do ch15

floral mist
west quarry
#

the stomp was fine

#

well more like the stomp killed everyone not under exu shield

stray dove
#

ah the global dmg

west quarry
#

but uh i have no hitcount vs sharpedges that have 5000 movespd

west quarry

definitely a way of all time to lose

Can I ask. Wtf just happened here?

brazen bane

Yo ?

How the ???

west quarry
brazen bane

well it automatically switch when you unlock

which is stupid

west quarry

it is very stupid yeah

brazen bane

yea and I also clicked agree to terms and conditions

compact citrus
#

for IS6, there's a new ending? I haven't played since it since new release, is there a pin or guide for the endings?

compact citrus
#

which one?

#

I'm looking through the first one, IS6, but there's no ending link

errant siren
compact citrus
#

yeah, and there's no ending guide to it...?

errant siren
#

Oh

#

Then lemme find my post

errant siren
#

To get the End4.

compact citrus
#

and the gimmick to the boss? any necessary units?

#

like how ed 'needs' Trig and ed2 needs exalter?

errant siren
compact citrus
#

any new meta strats? kind of bored relying on Radian all the time...

cursive verge
#

Ente+leizi2 gvg

compact citrus
#

who's ente?

errant siren
#

Entelechia

compact citrus
#

oh the reaper one?

compact citrus
#

I didn't pull for her

errant siren
#

I didn't either, yet she found me

#

Game knows I would hunt for PramaAlter

compact citrus
#

guess I default to radian again ~_~

cunning karma
#

You can ban Raidian for fun but I don't think those should be called "new meta strats" DocSmile

compact citrus
#

well, I haven't unlocked her 2nd module

#

I might as well do it

errant siren
#

It's shit btw

compact citrus
#

oh...

stray dove
#

it's not exactly all too challenging especially when you do the bare min d12 ed4 clear

brazen bane
#

use the Kjerag mafia

stray dove
#

heh heh

#

Pralter mod3 just feels so good

#

100% atk on stepping on the snow

#

then the S2 dots hit

#

if it's S3, it just hurts a LOT with one step

potent gulch
#

Forgot to scout out healer gave me a panic moment

winged tapir
#

So how's ssh2 pralter in IS in general?

nocturne cape
grim portal
#

Anyone know the detail on IS6 ed4 phase 2, does the giant ox hit our ops?

nocturne cape
#

Not really

#

It’ll do the one skill where it damages the closest unit and spawn a statuegeist but thats not unique to p2

#

Aside from that it’ll only do screen wide aoe when it absorbs an enemy

grim portal
#

I see Amiyanoted

hearty crypt
#

I wanna ask uhh in IS for example IS6 the bonus point cap is at diff 10 where it is 150% so is there any point in playing higher diff if I just want to farm for the reward?

low vortex
#

difference between D1 and D10 is like very marginal compared to D15+

rustic spade
#

D12 also gives u a better medal on the squad selection screen

#

And on the personal stats thing it shows highest dif endings cleared, for in game recognition stuff

potent gulch

How to unlock pt4

sly harness
#

Not available yet, wait for dlc2

errant siren
ashen sundial
#

Is it worth it to s3m3 castermiya even if I have kal and mon3 raised

sly harness
#

Yes, in IS5 you are drafting Amiya as an early pick all the time and you are going to use Caster in a boss fights anyways

Having extra damage will be nice if you won't be able to reliably one cycle Theresis/won't have enough for p2 Qiulon/or if you will want to fast kill Amiya (some of the other mini bosses in her fight, especially relevant in t3 because there is more of them)

#

Also you sue Caster Amiya for Catastrophies Spines of Epochs

sick mason
#

Castermiya? Why not just use medicmiya

sly harness
#

For mentioned boss fight?

sick mason
#

I guess despite her true dmg can be underwhelming she's viable

copper orchid
#

Its not that underwhelming

#

With all the buffs in is5 she could solo dps theresis with chalice iirc

sly harness
#

Firstly those fights are long you will often want to use her skill a few times and Medic deals significantly less damage then Caster

sly harness
#

(the one with Boats that is)

copper orchid
#

Ahhh

#

I think maybe 2

#

Cuz u have chalice + kings

#

If u have CE its guaranteed one cycle thoDocSmile

#

Just rng ce

Ines coz u never know crying doggo suddenly appear so early on 1st floor and you dont have revealer to kill him

sly harness

But Ines can reveal invisibility on e1 and SA2 can

#

And no it isn't relevant here

Pretty funny the enemies appear and then die instantly stepping on pram ice

errant siren
lusty mesa

qn , can i leak the boss i got slapped around but i have 33 lp

#

its still the same leg

errant siren
#

Leg does -50

#

Not an option

lusty mesa
#

ohhhh shit

lusty mesa
#

okay ill try something

errant siren
#

Leak the left side

#

It does -17

#

Consentrate everyone on mid and right

It's easier to defend

i think i spent too much time already

#

ok nvm i did it

#

that was hectic

jagged heath
#

Are pramalt and sashalt any good in any IS mode? SkadiDaijoubu

lusty mesa
#

im not is expert but they are broken IreneGasp

jagged heath
#

I imagine pramalt uses s3 and sashalt switches between s2 and s3?

sly harness
#

Prama can use all 3 skills

jagged heath
lusty mesa
#

im not that advanced in IS strategy lol

sly harness
open finch
#

For what it's worth, you can almost completely replace Ines' use case with silverash in is4

#

Except maybe her utility in ending 4

jagged heath
#

That's crazy

open finch
#

Pram sucks in is4 btw zero range lookin ass

jagged heath
#

I mean he seems very well-rounded so I'm not that surprised

open finch
#

Ya

jagged heath
#

What skill does pramalt use in is6?

#

Most of the time at least

sly harness
#

S2 probably

jagged heath
#

Art I see

sly harness
#

Although idk it is a 🫃 gamemode so everything can work

#

S3 probably better for low relics Bosky

open finch
#

I thought you play it

#

Are you pregnant

sly harness
#

I guess

jagged heath
#

Also, is it normal for his s3 to not be able to target enemies who approach him from behind? I suppose it is but it makes him act like a ranged op when you deploy them on a low ground tile ReedBean

gaunt bay
#

oh my fucking god

#

i accidentally recruited hoshi

#

instead of hoshi alter

#

fuckkk

sly harness
#

you have the ed4 blocker now RosThumbsUp

gaunt bay

i dont have her built 😭

sly harness

build her now

you built hoshi once, you can do it again

Ingots

i didn't know this

crystal niche
remote badger
#

amiya can eat balls

worldly laurel
#

So there like some downtime before the next balls respawn

#

At least that what I can guess xd

crystal niche
#

damn killing amiya too fast?

worldly laurel
#

Yeah

#

But that’s the point of the last phase

You either kill Amiya fast or just lose

crystal niche
#

true but usually i cc her first so i can get the others get hit by balls

#

so i don't kill too fast

#

suffering from success

worldly laurel
#

Whew

sly harness
#

A principled person will first kill everything else first, wait until the Amiya starts banning tiles and only then phase her to reset her SP

#

I am a principled person RosThumbsUp

rich thorn
#

did you already tried gnosis freeze team?

sly harness
#

In IS5?

#

Firstly I don't have SA yet and my Prama is not built. Secondly on which squad do I even run that

#

Currently I was trying to run Ingots + Talon's with Rod + Hool (it is fake)

rich thorn
#

welp, anywhere, and tacfort prob?

#

cuz same hand with ange

sly harness
#

But I got lucky

solar tree
#

king @inland elbow are you maybe alive rn?

rich thorn
#

because it feels like more sa2 s2 + gnosis module and spam other units

#

for freeze

sly harness
#

Most likely not if you run it with Lamp

rich thorn
#

normal sa fits good cuz either s1 with aspd or s3 cuz fragile

languid vault
#

would yall* say sash2 is a perfect 1st draft for is6 or still raidian and..?

rich thorn
#

dont think he is a good 1st draft, 2nd better

sly harness
#

Maybe I will give it a go on d15... I don't want to play d15 but this comp doesn't seem real for d18

languid vault
#

hm ok

sly harness
#

But on e1 it is cope

rich thorn
#

oh ye, for that mly + sa2 its gvg with mly as starter into sa2 ?

faint rampart

so many e2 starts

sly harness
languid vault
#

ohh ✍️

rich thorn
#

I saw that vid, I mean how you open f1

languid vault
#

i have e1 raidian so ig shes not an option rn

#

so exu2 or trag?

#

or maybe pram2...?

languid vault
faint rampart
#

exu2/trag do ed2/1 so yeah i guess

sly harness
#

Ye, Without proficiencies she isn't particularly strong

languid vault
#

kay

#

oh wait I do have wisadel, if thats an option

rich thorn
#

yes

#

on low diff

faint rampart
#

if you have her, then just recruit her mid run...

cunning karma
#

e1 Raidian is still convenient to have for a lot of bosky fight

sly harness
#

With summons that cost 16 DP?

cunning karma
#

Bro you only need to walk 5 steps to unlock -9dp

rich thorn
cunning karma
#

Oh sorry 5 fights, anyway

#

not really like you need to clear once or something

#

Hmm wait

#

Does it say d1 LappDumb

sly harness

Just checked it, you don't need e2 for that proficiency, but you do need to clear d0 once because the unlock requirements are d1+ SkadiDaijoubu

Afternoon

#

It seems I'm getting Pram2 third skill to M3 first

#

Well, I'll do as many deep explorations from IS5 as I can today before I grow tired of it

sly harness
arctic panther
sly harness
#

IS5 is interesting, when it comes to just gaining rewards a very slop gamemode but then d18 245t3 is imo the hardest thing you can do in any IS

arctic panther
sly harness
#

Idk IS6 dlc2 isn't there yet

solar tree
#

@quiet kernel are you somehow still alive?

sly harness
#

But I wonder whether it will be harder

#

I don't think so personally

#

Definitely not the combat part (in the entire IS6 you will have just a few actual hard stages, mainly bosses)

#

Although the whole scaling part and optimizing it may be quite demanding

#

Even currently I feel that I am missing out when it comes to abusing Plan node and post dlc2 it will be probably quite important

faint rampart
#

3 hrs of scaling and farming relics🤤

sly harness
#

Into 1 hour of a boss fight

sinful sparrow
#

kinda crazy

#

is6 dlc2 is relic farming with a final boss at the end

#

everything else is j*bber

grizzled nexus
#

5th Hour and 10th Hour seems like so freaking rare even after clearing all 4 endings in IS6. Never even got one of them.

gaunt bay
#

😇

sly harness
#

nah

#

ban less it is not bad

open finch
#

No feed 6op relicless when

gaunt bay
#

Banless 245 is triple flinger m3 slopped too

sly harness
#

t3 thought a bit harder

#

But to be more precise I would say that Talons/Fatedless is the hard part

#

Like I would probably compare Lamp with Wis ban to IS3 and then Talons for t3 egg would be the harder part

remote badger
#

wis r slop

#

so as lamp is!

sly harness
#

Nah learning a Lamp comp takes some time and effort too

#

It isn't completely brain-dead

open finch
#

Forget t3 egg brother talons by itself is torture already

#

🥹

sly harness
#

Assuming you are running for consistency and not for just 1 win

remote badger
#

i dont have hoe 🥹

sly harness
#

I played Hoe less Sniper/Medics all the time

#

Not that important

#

Not having qb was more annoying

#

Being able to pivot her if you can't get the specialist vouchers help a lot

remote badger
#

no spec no guard tickets

hardy totem
#

This deep exploration is rude

remote badger
#

no ines

#

truly

hardy totem
#

Maybe I should level the skill tree first before I come back

#

(And get Tin Man)

remote badger
sly harness
#

Also I died LappDumb. Like I said the hardest thing to run... It was a win but Trag is a fraud, idk what happened

rich thorn

tinman is good in trees

other are meh and dont really need him

Tinman is good if you run anything else than Lamp

which update are we at rn btw? are all endings already available?

manic wagon

Should I continue IS2 or move on to different IS? I just completed 4 endings in IS2 (reward lvl 58).

nocturne cape

Technically 2 more but the second one is deep investigation

#

Which i dont count

hollow obsidian
#

perfect, then i should have plenty of content to enjoy, while still getting some new stuff in the future

Expansion 2 will be a pretty big overhaul to strategies so perfectly fine to start playing now

Game’s also at its easiest state
