[errant siren]

Just find any cat

And pet

[arctic plinth]

uhh what do you guys think is most ideal

[errant siren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pet-unhappy-gif-26711854

[rich thorn]

not the same

[errant siren]

It's the same

[rich thorn]

Same will be

if you pat Waai Fu

[arctic panther]

pathfinder

[desert brook]

2 combat ops, go to bosky, get more coupons, pathfinder, emergency op?

[arctic plinth]

alright but with the bosky do i skip the candles for the next one or immediately jump in

[arctic panther]

save the candles

[slate hull]

if you had coupons for 2 verticals, encounter -> face off-> bosky -> pathfinder -> emergency would be absolute baller

if you can get coupons from bosky this might honestly be doable

[desert brook]

why not take the 2 combats on top tho

[arctic panther]

maybe dont then

[arctic plinth]

too late

[arctic panther]

fuck

you can still take em i guess

[arctic plinth]

but i still can do pathfinder > emergency ops >operation > boss

[desert brook]

yea oits not a big loss

[arctic plinth]

not a big loss but lost a big win

[desert brook]

bird on steroids

[arctic panther]

pram s1 usage

[desert brook]

forgor to clip it but i had the siblings stunlock the furniture

[arctic plinth]

how do i deal with the fishing rod guys

the ones that kidnap your operators

[arctic panther]

kill him before he kills you

if you cant then you're gonna

[nocturne cape]

2 combat top is not worth

Theyre normal combat

[vital wedge]

usually i just burst him with sakiko s3

[nocturne cape]

Would just take encounter into bosky and path down for EM NM and scout

[quartz plover]

Is it a good idea to avoid emergency battles in F5

So I have felt nothing but pain and needing to restart whenever I take it

[errant siren]

Depends on if you're ready to beat them or not.

If you're too much afraid or too difficult to even bear with them, skipping would be nice, especially on highdiff.

I usually prio them even on maxdiff and immediately regret about it.

[slate hull]

a lot of them are fine, but if you get mangshan records, that is like an f6 emergency

[quartz plover]

My head says yes and I immediately get humbled the next second

[errant siren]

[rustic wigeon]

Is this worth it?

[errant siren]

No.

[slate hull]

yeah, that ring never ends up in a spot that is useful

[errant siren]

It will anywhere but really a tile you would put anyone

Not even main ops, just anyone

[sly harness]

It is decent but not worth the 12 Ingots. In f1 shop you should buy stuff that guarantees you power

[desert brook]

its decent if the tile is good

the tile is unfortunately usually in a bad spot

so it's not really that good

[sly harness]

Bosky stages (Turmoils) are small so the tile is usually usable

[gaunt bay]

.

Im fucking KILLING SOMEONE

FIVE silverashes

FIVE

no pram alter

210 pulls

[sly harness]

One more at he will be p6

[steel relic]

I rolled until first 6* and got Lemuen

Banner sucks

[gaunt bay]

Ur getting a pipebomb first

[arctic panther]

we're gifting pipebombs now?

can i have one 🥺

[gaunt bay]

It will be under your pillow

Tooth fairy style

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/exusiai-the-new-covenant-arknights-yippie-gif-4934882651703129178

[nocturne cape]

dw now your silverash will be tankier than others

[gaunt bay]

You’re pregnant

[rustic wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-cat-mocking-gif-13935821400850516732

[gaunt bay]

This is you

🫃

[nocturne cape]

this is where i ask you to move your p5 silverash to #salt-mines

🤓

[inland elbow]

I did 300 pulls, one SA one pram

👍

This banner sucks

[arctic panther]

it should've been me

[gaunt bay]

Flex period is over

Your theories are wrong goodbye

[arctic panther]

200 pulls only 5 6*'s (and not a single limited offrate)

[short anchor]

Any tips for ending 3 IS6? Doing my first run

[cunning karma]

check the raidian progression guide in pins

[arctic panther]

though 2 of them were pramalter so its fine

[cunning karma]

a melee dps (or maybe Wisadel) for clarity, a healer for the ed3 relic, be careful about the placement so that your ops don't get surrounded by go pieces and you're good

[short anchor]

Nah I saw that already, I'm asking just in general

[short anchor]

I see, thx

Ik he summons weiqi pieces, based on his op form

[cunning karma]

ed3 is easy if you know what he does, the ed3 relics are more annoying than Wang himself

[rich thorn]

Omg kiwi

Almost p6 sa2

🥹

[cunning karma]

be a p6 dalao so that everyone borrows your op for IS e1 SA2 open

[gaunt bay]

Youre getting upgraded from a pipebomb under the pillow to a landmine

[sly harness]

This opening works in IS6

[rich thorn]

Yay, free explosive

🔥

Just offrate pram2 on wang banner

Ez

[faint rampart]

9 chens coming

[arctic panther]

well now i want a landmine

[rich thorn]

We can trade

[desert brook]

yall is my run bricked

[sly harness]

It isn't Wu-Shang

You are fine

[desert brook]

[sly harness]

Wtf is this

It isn't even SA + Młynar gvg

[desert brook]

i lowkey forget mlynar exists

[sly harness]

Saki is a fraud in early Bosky, Emte will be fine (she clears Talismans very fast)

[desert brook]

i dont think ive had too much problems with early saki draft but i should try mlynar next time

[sly harness]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1vV1rB9EhG/

Mlynar + SA2

[desert brook]

wait does mlynar kill his own talisman with thorns talent

[sly harness]

Yes

[desert brook]

oh my god

yea iu did not think this through

salter s3 huh

[arctic panther]

peak for low op clears

yummy fragile 😋

[sly harness]

Yep you will need it if you want to use him as early carry

It is a good skill

[desert brook]

im too pore to s3m3 rn but definitely gonna get that soon

[desert brook]

i guess mlynar also solves that stage with the shieldguards and 4 pseudomuts

[short anchor]

So kinda like ending 2

Although, if unprepared that one sucks too, especially if below 17 LP

[cunning karma]

ending 2 is still annoying even if you know what it does when the stats go up in higher difficulty

exu op though

[short anchor]

Indeed

With how many times I did it, I've found that playing it by throwing like 3 ops at the field between feet slams is better than focusing chokepoints

[rich thorn]

ngl

ed2 alter easier

[iron orchid]

??

always happens on my 5* runs eh

[sly harness]

He isn't good anyway

[rich thorn]

wow

[short anchor]

This is why I permit temps even on 5* runs

[rich thorn]

another is4 player

🥹

[midnight nymph]

gonna play is5 ingot squad for the first time, it says that refreshes will be rogue trader instead of other nodes
how does this affect the refresh collectibles from the f1 encounter? do they override or no

[sly harness]

Only and always the first refresh of the floor will be a Shop

[midnight nymph]

so second refreshes will be whatever collectible you have?

[sly harness]

After that everything will work like usual

[iron orchid]

[rich thorn]

I hate only 1 thing in is4, if no scout before f4 - run ends for ed3

🥀

[iron orchid]

ya sorry i don't play shit gamemodes like is6

[midnight nymph]

not playing is6 rn since im almost reaching the level limit and even then i still havent maxed raidian and havent done ed3 or ed4

[rich thorn]

dw dw, im suffering too

with trying to triple ending is4

and exploding on ed2a lvl8 collapse

[iron orchid]

raidianless 6*less is6 is cancerous enough that it discouraged me from playing is6 altogether

[sly harness]

No Scout on f2 just restart

[iron orchid]

meanwhile it takes me back to the randomness of is4

my 5* refuse the yu promotion

[rich thorn]

I always forget - bonus reward is for reaching f3 ye?

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-yu-kidnapped-gif-16725958176267144019

[sly harness]

Or entering Bosky on f2

Yes

[midnight nymph]

i remember an IS6 6 star flower run where i got a free mlynar, typhon and hoederer
they were barely used tbh

[rich thorn]

damn, bosky counts for that

didnt know

[faint rampart]

from slugs to Sui
sarkaz women truly take in anything 😔

[sly harness]

Like in IS6 you just enter f1 Bosky, leave it to enter f2 and this gives you the bonus

[rich thorn]

if only it was that easy to reroll

as is5 with shop squad

[sly harness]

You need to clear 1 combat still

[cunning karma]

in IS6 DLC0 you can pick end of time and get the f3 reward in a minute by just entering F1 bosky and leaving, now they ruined it with DLC1

[sly harness]

Or in theory you can pick a flower squad and gamble getting the node refresh coin twice

[paper notch]

fun fact, yu is the bottom here. mudrock absolutely crushes him

[sly harness]

And ofc refreshing into non combat

[midnight nymph]

If i wanna be braindead I use blueprint

[paper notch]

brother takes two hammers to the head and fucking passes away

[rich thorn]

still could reroll into fight

🥀

[sly harness]

Skil tree buff = permanent account damage

[midnight nymph]

that wouldnt happen if you got the f1 reroll collectible

Lamps obviously the most broken but doodle and talons have their niche ig

When i was new to IS i used to run doodle since it allows me to play IS5 with as minimal combat but thats actually a problem

since i cant get much recruitment vouchers and hope where i am starved of good resources

i only reroll if im delibaretly chasing collectibles or if the stage is really fucking difficult for my current squad

[sly harness]

If you play IS5 for rewards you don't need anything more then 3 starting operators

[midnight nymph]

looks inside
wisadel/rosmontis flinger slop

[sly harness]

You speedrun ed1 with like Wis, Beanstalk and some other body

[midnight nymph]

mine setup is gummy, click and rosmontis

[cunning karma]

Wis + someone to block + someone to break the coffin

[sly harness]

Beanstalk better for baiting boss attacks

[midnight nymph]

i think gummy is better than beanstalk imo

[sly harness]

Anyone breaks it with Kings

[sly harness]

She gets oneshotted

Although I am thinking about d18 stats

[midnight nymph]

are you only using beanstalk cus the crab takes the hit that gummy cant?

im aware u can refresh em

crab dead? no worries, as long as beanstalk is alive

and u can refresh with s2

[sly harness]

I mean you are only fighting f3 boss and ed1 boss

[rich thorn]

yeah, max rewar bonus is d9

[sly harness]

f3 bosses are almost solo cleared by 6* so you only need other units for ed1

[rich thorn]

[sly harness]

(I am only talking about speedrunning there though(

[midnight nymph]

Whats the deal here

[sly harness]

For actually playing the game and running like 245 you will take something else

[midnight nymph]

"other units for ed1"

I dont even use global range ops and I can still cheese fremont

Just have units close to each other and dont deploy too many at phase 1

[sly harness]

I mean those other units are bait for the balls and something that breaks a coffin (so the 2 starting 4*)

[midnight nymph]

And let me be clear this is on lower difficulties, like D9

Idk how much scarier fremont is on max dif

Perhaps his mystic caster attacks leaves almost no survivors even with tanky units with collectibles and everything

[sly harness]

Not scarier but has more stats

[midnight nymph]

Oh and if im not wrong Fremont gains DR when he stores his charges

[faint rampart]

lapp2 gg might not be that good

[sly harness]

On d9 ~1800 ATK on d18 ~3800 ATK (per ball)

[midnight nymph]

Completely unrelated but if they ever made Fremont playable its 100% gonna be a Mystic Caster imo
Back to IS

[sly harness]

Other enemies also have double the stats so face tanking with Gummy just won't be reliable

[midnight nymph]

I find it funny that Raidians second module can be get by doign Ending 4 on lower difficulties while you gotta do like D9-D11 (could be wrong) ED3 clears to max out the first module

I gotta do Ed3 and Ed4 of IS6 sometime soon

Rn my Raidian only has the first module base trait change

Is the second module that good anyway

?

[sly harness]

What happened there is kinda obvious

Too much complaining about the difficulty

[midnight nymph]

u meaning to tell me that people hated having to do higher difficulty ed3 clears to max raidian module so they made the second module easier to get?

[sly harness]

Almost useless

[midnight nymph]

...as i expected

i read it and it seems disappointing

[arctic panther]

it is

[rich thorn]

summons are too op

[arctic panther]

hopefully mechanist's second module isnt useless(and i just hope is7 altogether doesn't rely on him as much)

[rich thorn]

he doesnt have first one

((((4

[midnight nymph]

Speaking of Mechanist im wondering how he will be overpowered in IS7

Since hes a defender would he be almsot unkillable with those is only perks

[paper notch]

i hope that he isnt as detrimental to the welfare only niche as raidian but close to sankta miksaparato in power outside is7🙏

[midnight nymph]

why is raidian described as "detrimental to welfare only niche"

too overpowered? or the other way around?

[arctic panther]

summoner

[iron orchid]

is it okay to ignore the low hanging fruit if it’s rotten

[arctic panther]

[paper notch]

oh what a cool looking stage. i wonder who solos it? oh it's raidian? oh that's cool

oh this hard stage

it doesnt have raidian in the clear?

it must not be optimized yet

[midnight nymph]

whos the low hanging fruit

skadi?

[iron orchid]

sideroca

[midnight nymph]

oh

well ur rngs kinda cooked rip

[iron orchid]

who tf is skadi icl

[midnight nymph]

he forgot he had skadi 🥀

[rich thorn]

its f4

[paper notch]

oh this hard stage with raidian in the clear. i wanna see how absolutely fucked her usage is in that clear. oh she's used to literally kill everything and the rest of the team is stalling for time

sick

[rich thorn]

and game already wants to kill me

[iron orchid]

i forget i have 6*

[rich thorn]

🫃

collapse8 and kings crystal

[quick steppe]

should have played eternal hunting wcyd

[midnight nymph]

Okay I should reconsider
I want Mechanist to be strong in IS7 but not cheese the entire mode just by existing

[sly harness]

You know that you shouldn't leak?

[rich thorn]

you know, thats maybe a good idea

[midnight nymph]

And I cant lie we're in kind of a different era of IS welfare operators

It seems starting from IS6 we're getting Elite op 6 star welfares

[rich thorn]

I know, but fucking EM`s was too much for exu2

couldnt kill

🥀

[midnight nymph]

Before that it was mostly okay 5 star welfares that had like an IS specific talent

[iron orchid]

erm

ermmmmmm

i forgot how to play the game

[arctic panther]

just use yu

[midnight nymph]

Okay maybe "okay 5 stars" is wrong

[arctic panther]

[cunning karma]

Feels kinda dumb that leaking once makes you leak more 😭 (skill issue though)

[midnight nymph]

Shalem and Valarqwin are not good, Highmore is okay and Tin Man is decent I think

[paper notch]

i think the idea is really peak but they didnt have to make a summoner 😭

[iron orchid]

he finna explode but ill try 😭

[paper notch]

but im all for it tho

makes up for episode 17 not being a welfare by the standards of the niche

[viral quail]

If i have to get Mechanist-crutched in 7 like Raidian in 6 ima just not play the theme bruh

[iron orchid]

actually yu survived but bottom side exploded

[viral quail]

IS6 is genuinely one of the most boring experiences Arknights had to offer

[arctic panther]

what

how is the ch17 welfare not a welfare

[paper notch]

the new mystic caster isnt considered a welfare same way CE isnt a welfare

if you are asking why, the answer is just because

[arctic panther]

why?!?!

[paper notch]

arbitrary category definition from arkrec

[arctic panther]

WAIT CE ISNT CONSIDERED A WELFARE??????

[viral quail]

Tax Write-Off Operators

[paper notch]

CE is in fact not a welfare

[quick steppe]

business expense operators

[arctic panther]

HOW

[paper notch]

yes

idk tbh. i think it's dumb as hell

and the only welfare representative in AK youtube sphere thinks it's dumb

sooo ye

[midnight nymph]

I dont get it

[arctic panther]

is there any way to suggest a change to the rules?

[paper notch]

ye but i would imagine this wouldnt be the first time this complaint was brought up

[midnight nymph]

is it cause CE is permanently available? Doesnt make sense either since many welfare 5 and 6 stars are available 24/7 thanks to record restoration

[paper notch]

i dont think they are changing the rules

[rich thorn]

weird too btw

[paper notch]

that has nothing to do with it

[rich thorn]

cuz gladiia wellfare too

kroos2 same

[paper notch]

it's cuz she's a main story free operator

and that's apparently not a welfare

[rich thorn]

and they permanent one now

[midnight nymph]

Thats weird.

[paper notch]

ye

i do have a maxed CE on my main tho if they ever decide to change their minds

[midnight nymph]

[inland elbow]

N*cheknights

[inland elbow]

The main story ops not being welfare has been complained about everyone who hears about it tbh

I don't know of a single person who thinks that it's a good thing

[slate hull]

that is so weird, the only thing I can think of is that you don't get the mats to raise the op the way you do in events, but that still makes no sense

[rich thorn]

welp, at some point moni is bigger problem

and at some - skill books

🥀

[desert brook]

oh shit, if you freeze a talisman when its attached it doesnt lock skill?

[inland elbow]

it's because the operator "used" a skill

[tidal raptor]

Who is golden glow and is she usable in is4?

[arctic panther]

lappland if she wasnt limited and probably

global range is just like that

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-goldenglow-trumpet-toothache-gif-27230102

[tidal raptor]

In English please

Does this mean her drones are everywhere

[rich thorn]

global drone caster

[tidal raptor]

Sweet gravy

S3 correct?

[arctic panther]

only on her s3 though

[rich thorn]

yep

[tidal raptor]

Sweet gravy

This might be the run

[rich thorn]

she with yu and lapp2 are global burn combo-wombo

[tidal raptor]

One day I’ll get them

[chrome tangle]

Gracebearer is omega broken meta. Smh, why are you using meta ops

[sturdy wedge]

I don't like IS5 anymore

🙁

[nocturne cape]

Kaz kept falling

[gaunt bay]

I hate arknights

[remote badger]

kazfall

[gaunt bay]

Thats the end of that

[slate hull]

no pram?

[gaunt bay]

234

No pram

This fucking game

Sucks so much

It took me 210 for exu 200 for trag 110 for saiki and i didnt even get leizi

And now i dont get pram

[slate hull]

well, surely it can't get worse than this

[gaunt bay]

It cant i already missed 2 banners of ops i wanted

Theres only so much “just save up for important stuff” that you can do when you get fucked by every single fucking banner

[open finch]

do the new ops do anything in sentinel

i have a sudden urge to play is4

[severe oasis]

like silveralt/pram or just everything released in late 2025

actually lowkey i have not tried anything released after leizi in is4

or leizi herself

i have a feeling silveralt would do well

[open finch]

er

like zima alter new

[severe oasis]

wang probably good ya!

[open finch]

wang is really good

pram is trash

sa is okay

chen is okay

curious about bellone and zima

[severe oasis]

are sa/chen actually worth drafting over ines/mlynar tho

[open finch]

sa over ines for sure

[severe oasis]

[open finch]

doesnt immediately to march

sounds good to me

idk about chen over mlynar

i mean, mlynar already sucked ass

[severe oasis]

i wonder about like hoshi2

[open finch]

so it's not exactly a high bar?

idk

hoshi i tried a bit, didnt seem to do a whole lot

[severe oasis]

i guarantee she'd do fuckall in sent

but still

[open finch]

i mean i know the current sentinel record

so like lol

but the new stuff are fun

[severe oasis]

but like really the only 2025 ops i drafted last time i played were exu, trag, lemuen

so i have no clue about anything else

[open finch]

we will find out

[severe oasis]

with wang, what even is the spec prio? does ela get pushed to 3rd?

[gaunt bay]

Ok but no bind

Death by champions methinks

[severe oasis]

nope he will freeze them

!

[gaunt bay]

Use 2 procs and die to the second one

Broken

[severe oasis]

oh yeah isnt mizuki also good

[gaunt bay]

I think ya

Exu wang

[severe oasis]

i literally do not have mizuki

fuck yes bro

thats what i needed

[open finch]

wow

!

[pure oyster]

<@&586570970345635868> bots

[severe oasis]

when are they gonna get new content though

i feel like the mrbeast thing is getting stale

[open finch]

blasting classical music while playing is4 goes hard

im just on autopilot

[severe oasis]

i really hope is4 d18 gets announced with next summer event man

[gaunt bay]

What are you listening to

[open finch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15ezpwCHtJs

[gaunt bay]

80 minutes of bach

[teal rain]

[flint token]

technically still is related 🤫

[remote badger]

wuh

[long sluice]

btw does support Raidian count for this?

[flint token]

oh yeah as long as it's radian anyone counts

you can use support squad radian

[open girder]

Peeps, I have 2 questions for the monthly squads of older IS
1 - Reward wise does it matter if I'm finishing the run or can I just do the objective and move on? (and come back one day for completionism sake)
2 - Does the skill tree affect those runs?

[flint token]

objective only
no

unless ur completionist

then you can also go to f5 for story

[open girder]

Duly noted! Thanks

[scarlet pond]

sea dragon dead against chubby fluffy leapord

[final flicker]

is it a normal team? and will it be able to complete the game's storyline?

[quick steppe]

you can probably get pretty far in story, esp once you finish levelling the kjerag siblings

but we're like maybe a year off until we can tackle IS with this

[final flicker]

as I realized, I made a big mistake by not pumping the factory in the game, when I realized that it was necessary to pump the character to Elite 2. I became very sad

[quick steppe]

yes go set up your base properly

check #r-i-i-c

long term investments will be huge

[noble orbit]

Is this any different

[tranquil atlas]

any tips for is2

[timid fox]

No, it's normally for jinxi border which u must put operator to Doubt (this one like Scout)

Since u attempt for ending 4, this special bosky let u put operator inside these doubts (u need open these)

And the tavern on special bosky give u 2-3 candles additionally to help u putting them inside
(Depends on requirements like tavern in normal bosky)

[arctic panther]

all doubts let you put ops in the scroll

and the tavern gives you candles

[tranquil atlas]

any ops this is notably good on

[quick steppe]

maybe like

degen

if you squint

[tranquil atlas]

rip

opps got him

[timid fox]

Did u ask for starter squad or what?

[tranquil atlas]

I mean just in general

anything that makes runs smoother ig

[timid fox]

Bring carrying dps in earlier

[quick steppe]

draft good operator

there really aren't any real tips for is2 there's nothing to work with

you pick good operator and just fight til the end

[timid fox]

just imo, u can start by using these in marked

[quick steppe]

oh yeah def play class squads
they're at their most broken here

[timid fox]

fr

it differently with other IS since every specific recruitment will get E2 automatically

[tranquil atlas]

Ion got any lol

[grave vine]

IS2 is just use good ops while assuming 0 buffs, and find the endings.

[inland elbow]

bro bach is so yesterday

listen to vivaldi instead

[open finch]

cringe

i either listen to bach or romantic period

[halcyon flame]

u didnt do it right

[gaunt bay]

ok but

[west quarry]

use a shittier pc maybe

[gaunt bay]

thats not crash

thats just freeze

[halcyon flame]

what if u crash landed into a mailbox

[gaunt bay]

Bruh, the invisible dog can stun the frozen blue box and straight up enter it.

[gaunt bay]

idk what you expected

[halcyon flame]

he can stun ros pillars why wouldnt he be able to

the only thing he cant stun is roadblocks iirc

[grizzled nexus]

I mean that support item that have 5 blocks cannot be stunned.

[halcyon flame]

the barricade?

[grizzled nexus]

Yeah, a good way to block that dog.

always make it visible.

what happens if I trade a Complex Yi Lock in a L&F node?

[timid fox]

U lost that relics tho

[deft breach]

wym?

[timid fox]

I mean if u trade that relic, u got another one and lost that complex yi relic

[deft breach]

huh, I thought he might give something special

[grizzled nexus]

Huh, didn't know that I can get another shot for gambling with Shen-Chu Wheel.

[inland elbow]

after editing

[wind lantern]

how to farm exp in IS2? or generally it's hard to gain level above 120++?

[heavy pumice]

finish a complete run
if can beat more than one ending its better

milestone reward (high level one) require ~400 points each level iirc

[tribal pulsar]

Ros or Wis start?

[robust grail]

Ros for IS5 Wis otherwise

[gaunt bay]

Mei tier footage

sorry thatd just be choppy the whole way through

too many fps at the end

[arctic panther]

what if you dont have wis for is5

[robust grail]

play soul escort

or borrow E1 Wis open

it depends on what you're playing anyways

what difficulty what endings what comps

[west quarry]

peam

[quick steppe]

e1 wis start trees

[timid fox]

Try complete it normally or with high difficulty give u more exp

Get another ending also increasing ur exp

[wind lantern]

i'm currently at lvl 11 difficulty, still it only gives me 4 tiers only. also i use the same.. what is it called, the trait at the start where i use the -1hope for 4star n above. i got all of the endings for it. do i need to do the other and get the other endings to get more exp?

[errant siren]

Final score depends on difficulty, how much nodes do you past, how many fights you picked up (Emergency and Boss Battles worths more), operators, relics, etc.

The more you do, the higher the score.

Usually you just spam End1 with taking most fights possible.

Since it's faster, easier and brings enough points to close 8 tiers.

[chrome tangle]

Diff 10 is the max score modifier

[errant siren]

*D7 for IS2 and IS3.

[chrome tangle]

true

forgot to think about those 2

[woeful vector]

So the boss shield does it need to be destroyed by the opposite element or can it be brute forced

[errant siren]

Bruteforce.

It's just additional HP amount.

[woeful vector]

when did the boss start to have a shield? like i only noticed it when i was at g12

and the shiled seem to be on and off

[errant siren]

Hmmm, on Phase 2 he does that.

[woeful vector]

so it was always a thing?

[errant siren]

When he spawns those kamikaze, he may apply that.

Sometimes he doesn't.

Which makes him regret later.

[woeful vector]

xd

[dim oar]

The hou beast and yu beast, so I use Sakiko for both the beast?

[errant siren]

Yes

Mostly for big bull.

[dim oar]

The small mob boss use who?

archetto

[arctic panther]

matterhorn

or anyone with cc

[woeful vector]

So I have to wait 2 months for my last badge?

[dim oar]

Yato alt skill 3 work on the bull boss?

[errant siren]

Yes

Cuts through his big hitbox.

Multiple times.

[split void]

that was scary

[tidal raptor]

Not sure if this belongs here but do you think is7 is rhine lab themed?

[split void]

Um no ?

[quick steppe]

no it’s bolivar

evil dark horror

[tidal raptor]

Oh wha ok

[tidal raptor]

WHA??

[split void]

RL is light
That was dark

The color I mean

[tidal raptor]

Yeah ahah

I’m a little disappointed it’s bolivar themed

But oh well let’s see it

[split void]

Maybe they will save that for IS8

Or something like RL colab krejaq

[quick steppe]

rhine labs theme means rhine labs enemies and I don’t like it

[split void]

What can be worse than splitting unblockable Onhit enemies???

[tidal raptor]

Two unblockable one hit enemies

[split void]

Well I already said "enemies"

[dim oar]

Is it the bull boss die faster with Yato alt that cut thru the box

[split void]

Maybe the two guys in CC beta is scary

But that is CC

[brazen bane]

why would IS ever be Rhine Lab themed

[split void]

Um why not ?

[brazen bane]

that makes no sense

[brazen bane]

its usually exploring some unknown area

[dim oar]

Later there are collab with my little pony. Monster hunter got replaced

[split void]

We have many RL events. Their theme good

[brazen bane]

Rhine Lab could be the people doing that but having the whole thing be themed on Rhine Lab is nonsensical

[errant siren]

He has big stats, so you won't kill him with only YatoAlter help

[tidal raptor]

So what do you think the IS is?

[brazen bane]

.

[errant siren]

Use everyone in disposal

[split void]

What is the different between known and unknown here ?
Like maybe you think you know it all about RL , but maybe not ? There still unknown part left ?

Only the IS2 castle. That is kinda completely unknown to me

[tidal raptor]

I mean I heard a rumor it’s skynet themed

Maybe we mind hack into the network and explore its files? I dunno

[brazen bane]

we actually know a lot

about them

[split void]

Maybe they won't do it like RL theme. But bigger like Colombia theme

[chrome tangle]

does it have to make sense

[split void]

That include RL

[brazen bane]

yea

[sick mason]

Wonder how we gonna solve shit in Bolivar for IS7

[brazen bane]

compared to a literal jungle haunted by demons, anything RL does or may do is pretty out in the open

the biggest secret they have left is probably flying city project

[chrome tangle]

Gundam themed IS would go crazy

[brazen bane]

but that would probably be a main event not IS

[tidal raptor]

Since when was bolivar forest haunted by demons

[sick mason]

The closest thing to gundam we encountered in this damn game is steam knights

[brazen bane]

since the start of the game

HG have teased them a little bit over the years

[tidal raptor]

What about the mech armor from rhine lab

[brazen bane]

as early as Magallan's event

[sick mason]

They're not as massive as steam knights tho

[tidal raptor]

Huh. I had no idea

[sick mason]

When was the last time we went to Bolivar

[tidal raptor]

Dossoles

That’s why I’m so mindboggled

[sick mason]

Dossoles holiday damn

The Chalter and Mizuki debut

[tidal raptor]

We for real? Mizuki debuted there??

[sick mason]

Did u forget

Yes he debuted there

[tidal raptor]

I’m new. I only know dossoles cause I got tequila there

[proper forge]

any 5* worth building mod for is?

[sick mason]

Which IS

[proper forge]

is3

[sick mason]

Uhh...

[brazen bane]

we never had a Sami event until right before IS4

I dont see how thats an issue

[tidal raptor]

It’s not an issue. I was just hoping for something more unique instead of demons in the forest. Then again, I have zero clue of is7 beyond the trailer so I’ll wait and see

[sick mason]

And I remember the old days the ops from Sami are just 2: Gitano and Bibeak

[desert brook]

i like demons in the forest

very excited for is7

[tidal raptor]

Yeah I am too. Love the trailer, it’s just I already had demons in the forest

How is is7 going to stand out?

[desert brook]

true, but is4 doesnt feel demonic enough to me, it really just feels like a trip in the arctic

[tidal raptor]

Fair point, it felt more reality goes to die here

[boreal island]

I think d0 was a little too low, should I try d5 or d10?

Surely mega buff ulpi can tank d10

[desert brook]

bro doesnt even take damage lmao

i like how shu is just there

shes doesnt even have to do anything

[boreal island]

Theresa on S3 also just there

[desert brook]

oh i didnt even notice her cuz of the bubble popping covering her sprite

i think i reached this ending by accident but i had a dogshit draft and i died to the enemies on bottom

level 4 in is4

[boreal island]

Ye this ending is kinda hard, you should try Sentinel instead. It's good for beginners.

[errant siren]

[desert brook]

i think i just didnt play enough is4 surely d0 is easy on all endings

[errant siren]

Scream if you like IS4

[desert brook]

i did like 2 normal runs and like 2 monthly squads and then forgot it existed for a year

[severe oasis]

wheres the brock lesnar screaming gif

[boreal island]

Ye it's more of a knowledge check. Dw practice makes perfect also skill tree is important here

[desert brook]

yea i remember when is2/3 dropped and they were rlly hard at first

oh right does wisadel cheese izumik

[boreal island]

Yesnt. (If she's not debuffed to oblivion, but you're still better off with weedy)

[desert brook]

does weedy need push book? or just ange

[severe oasis]

her camo can dodge phase 2 acid but cant dodge the phase 1 explosions iirc

[desert brook]

oh rlly

[severe oasis]

technically neither depending on what strat you're doing

if you're pushing in hole, just needs ange i think

[desert brook]

huh i see

[severe oasis]

idt you need any extra push to acid cancel tho

[desert brook]

i think i remember the cowl can dodge phase 1 explosions? maybe it works differently?

[boreal island]

Ange is already good in IS, so she's always a nice pic even without weedy

[boreal island]

Anyway, I'm trying d10

[desert brook]

i wonder if warf s1 is funny with ulpi

[severe oasis]

sure shes one of the best medics for him

[noble orbit]

Which one is the best?

[desert brook]

flask i think

[sick mason]

Hour of Yin

[cunning karma]

flask would make bosky pathing easier, rule is only good when you have a lot of candles (e.g. tianshi)

[sick mason]

The stove is so bothersome and not worth exploring those retrieve nodes

The wei-chien rule is ehhh... only 1 node

And somehow this doesn't effect the tavern inside ed4 wonderland or maybe I'm missing something

[grand wraith]

promoted via combat meaning do the battle in pathfinder nodes right?

[sick mason]

Yes but also there are 2 other ways

Second option in face-off nodes and toss LeiFa's Purge coin

This relic is just absurdly broken at max stacks

[grand wraith]

i was told not to buy the face off nodes thing i guess i will have to go get it after this run

[cunning karma]

that was a stupid take even when dlc0

[grand wraith]

i mean

back when i was a d0 bum my 5 stars and 4 stars were basically unbuilt and my account was just sakiko typhon carry

which is the better pick here

[cunning karma]

both bad, pick the right one for +1 hope

[noble orbit]

Is6 without raidian is so bs

Im trying to play support unit hoshialt but its so hard to open

[sick mason]

I mean... Raidian is the main carry of this gamemode

Designed for IS6, obtained in IS6, raised via IS6

I bet it'll be the same for Mechanist in IS7

[cunning karma]

hoshi e1 start is indeed very tricky, like for the mice map you actually need to put her in the top right corner of the middle square, and your 4 starts actually need to do a lot of work (unlike raidian who basically solo the stages)

if the coins are bad you probably need to leak a few

[split void]

I wonder what a defender carry like

Do we have his subclass?

[cursive verge]

Not yet iirc

[paper notch]

no one told me this fucking umiri doesnt do her s1 when there's a talisman on her???

[split void]

Um

[cursive verge]

Nobody does

[paper notch]

wait

[split void]

Her s1 is a skill

So

Uh

[paper notch]

i mean

yeah

[split void]

It can't be triggered when talisman on

Now you know it

[paper notch]

wait ill have to check it again later

im not sure if that's exactly what happened

hmmmmm

at the end she was using skill but it seemed like there was a talisman? but im not sure

[split void]

She have trigger skill when ave members using a skill

Best for s1 saki

But I think talisman can disable them all

[frail hearth]

how to do end 4 in is 6?

[cunning karma]

check the Raidian progression guide in pins

[charred zodiac]

has anyone from cn tested wang for IS runs ?
like he drop or still usable ?
thx

[severe oasis]

hes pretty good

in pre much every IS from what ive heard but idk about is5 at all

[charred zodiac]

i searched in youtube but couldn't find any video

[earnest shuttle]

check sciel

[severe oasis]

you wont find videos of people using him in IS on YT. maybe streams, but you'd have to check bili mostly

[gaunt bay]

how broken is bilibili

[charred zodiac]

ok thx alot
wisadel is amazing but sometime out of S3 ariel enemy 😂 just **** my run and i just started this patch don't have E2 units yet

[craggy shadow]

Up to this day still no IS4 run where i exceeded 30 lps

[copper orchid]

Or is it equally mid

Is there a best option here

[boreal island]

Should skip the bosky right?

[craggy shadow]

i wouldnt but tbh up to u

[boreal island]

If you mean to save the index for ending 4 trade, shop already gives +2, so I just need to get 1 on the way there.

[craggy shadow]

oh you're doing ed4

i guess then

but you might get 2 index back at the end of bosky tho

[boreal island]

Too late now. Also kinda need a vanguard

[severe oasis]

one of the drafts of all time

[gaunt bay]

meow

[severe oasis]

kiwi

[gaunt bay]

hai

🌹

[cursive verge]

What am I witnessing

[noble orbit]

Looking like my is6 draft but i have none of these defenders

[west quarry]

ulpi s2 😭

[boreal island]

D10: still not enough damage, what a scam enemy.

Ye idk why I thought d15 was too much, this should be easy.

[brazen bane]

[floral plaza]

Is not d10 like 6% per floor?

[boreal island]

Ye, D15 is 16% but noice I even removed gladiia at D10. Idk maybe I'm underestimating the exponential aspect of the damage, but we'll see. (Will probably roll the alt version and get cooked).

[quartz plover]

Is there any list here which operators count as yan?

[frank sapphire]

how do i upgrade risk-enlightenment in plan?

[errant siren]

There's Bosky node that called like that.

It's the Coin Exchanger.

Pay 1 BaseHP to change the coin.

[frank sapphire]

i did go into the tongbao node but do i just swap it out? the red thing says lose, and wait

i wouldnt wanna just lose this coin by picking the wrong option

[errant siren]

If you will give such that has "can be upgraded in Plans", new coin will be 100% its upgraded version.

[frank sapphire]

ohhh

alright

thx a lot

[faint rampart]

@quartz plover

[sinful sparrow]

add wangussy chen3 in it too

what if he's playing CN!

[crystal niche]

how much bad luck does it take to get 3 floors on is2 with the same fucking debuff

[paper notch]

playing is2 already tells me that your luck isnt in the best of shape

[rich thorn]

what about bleeding debuff into red haze into marionette f3 boss

cant even heal yourself on healing tiles

🥹

[vernal mason]

Who is this monster ? It's the very first time i see it

[errant siren]

Bonus Enemy

[rich thorn]

same as other beasts

[errant siren]

Like Duck and his friends

[vernal mason]

Oh

Ok

[rich thorn]

but this one fights back harder

xD

[errant siren]

He does stun everyone should you hit him pretty

And probably kill in a huge AOE.

[rich thorn]

hit count based gimmick btw

but could be stunned, cuz he is hovering

[vernal mason]

I learned it the hard way he killed almost everyone lmao (oh i now understand why when it entered ExuAlter he used the skill two times consecutive

And i'm sure Frozen box couldn't do anything either since he levitating

How TF my mountain can do that, is he on steroid or something 😭🙏

[errant siren]

Yes

[bronze vale]

He genuienly solo the ed1 boss dawg lol

[severe perch]

doing monthly specific character mission can contribute for raidian mission?

[errant siren]

Not sure, I guess it's not.

[sly harness]

Another average run (although I kinda lowrolled here with Wu-Shang hour and tossing Cocoon only ~5 times with 73 Coupons)

(btw I have this recorded so I will upload this as some reference point)

[faint rampart]

how many relics did you have on ed2

[sly harness]

Only 45

[faint rampart]

📝 👍

[solar tree]

gang what

[severe oasis]

he said its an average run. nothing to be confused about

[sly harness]

[rich thorn]

normal ed4 run btw

🥹

highrolling is worse than coc*ine

[crisp scaffold]

Megarollers

[hardy radish]

question: if i send an operator into scroll for ed4 will that op be promoted

[grizzled nexus]

Yes

They will be promoted. But not became candleguest though.

[full thorn]

where does this thing come from??

[errant siren]

Butterfly Encounter, remember that?

Which you gave up 30 Ingots.

[full thorn]

can i like move the claw to not hit my raidian and kill everything

[errant siren]

Yes

[wide rover]

how am i supposed to plan for ending 3 in is6

do i just immediately put my best operators in case?

[errant siren]

@full thorn

[errant siren]

You mean "Scroll"? That one is End4.

[full thorn]

too bad i cramped everything near the obj

[wide rover]

oh mbbb

ye for end 4

[errant siren]

Now you won't do that again for damaging leg for 50% HP, so he will stop haunting you for now.

[errant siren]

Start with worst, but usable in Final Boss battle.

Keep the best one until very end.

[full thorn]

you can kill it?

[errant siren]

Not now.

In Floor 5, if you did damaging him for 50% HP, you will be able to meet him in End2 Final Boss stage and kill him.

[full thorn]

does he do anything else other than killing everyone and leaving

[errant siren]

Right now no.

[errant siren]

But there, oh boy

He does more

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/390756814532378634/1488867947681415319/AILH48EGFLULVM25F.gif

[rich thorn]

he gives you positive ending relic

0 dp cost for random unit

🥹

[faint rampart]

yato2 solo

[solar tree]

what happens if you don't do enough damage?

[full thorn]

he disappears

[rich thorn]

nope

[solar tree]

?

[rich thorn]

he doesnt dissapear

xD

leg still do its usual 1 stomp

even at yu stage

even at f6 stage

[errant siren]

Next battle, he will return with remained HP from previous battle.

[rich thorn]

if I remember, leg doesnt stomp only at pathfinder and face-off

[errant siren]

And he cannot appear on Special stages like Encounters, Face-Off, Pathfinders.

[muted skiff]

time to new game

[rich thorn]

bbbut

old fan and promise

even trag hand

[sly harness]

He appears in encounters

[muted skiff]

its a 100% surewin game

[nimble sequoia]

Why am I having the is6 run of my life when doing monthly mission

[sly harness]

d0

[nimble sequoia]

My usual d0 run always end in disaster

[rich thorn]

[sly harness]

Just play more then you will have more good runs

[rich thorn]

damn it, its either im low rolling and dont have enuff dmg / squad with eternal hunting or greeding and facehitted by collapse9 with scientific

🥀

fucking ed3 collapse is 🤡

[sly harness]

Just don't play IS4

[rich thorn]

nope

I want to 234

😭

[inland elbow]

Play better with less

-eternal hunting

[rich thorn]

Im trying

trust me

usually im exploding on ed2a cuz bad placement

🥀

[full thorn]

how many candles do yall save before going into wonderland

[open finch]

It's the year 2026

Bait still shilling the shit squad

[rich thorn]

[inland elbow]

Kermit will say that and then play it and win every run anyways

Mysterious shit squad that wins every time

[rich thorn]

weird squad what was used with relicless wang/trag duo

[open finch]

I think that just means I'm good at the game

It's same as yyx shilling sa

Despite sa demonstrably being worse than mlynar

[faint rampart]

gotta become good to shill random stuff oof😔

[rich thorn]

ngl, would be funny to see if d18 comes and kills 3/4 of squads

[cursive verge]

How relevant is swire2 in IS

[sly harness]

Used to be a very important part of the Sui DPS check in IS6 pre dlc1 (assuming Exu ban).
Now she is completely optimal in ban less/soft bans run (collectibles makes the DPS check manageable with anything).
Post dlc2 will be very niche at most (some techs with shortening of the redeplyment time).
She is decent in IS2 against Big Sad Lock.
That is all

[cursive verge]

I see, thanks

[chilly garden]

Sash alter very good in this stage tbh

And Specter Alter S2 is really good to stall Yi

[faint rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/susge-sus-suspicious-susgeemote-emotesusge-gif-12862771718631627642

🧎‍♂️

[rich thorn]

now serious gameplay starts

[jolly wasp]

Guys how do I get IS5 ending 5 ...

[faint rampart]

pins prolly has something

[rich thorn]

ak wiki has too

https://arknights.wiki.gg/wiki/Sarkaz's_Furnaceside_Fables#Endings

[odd spire]

is that really the ideal way to clear is6 e4? Won't I leak a lot by ignoring right side completely?

[tall zephyr]

I had successfully beat Ending 2 in IS6

[remote badger]

right have barely anything

except some casters on chalice

[odd spire]

so i just wait 5 minutes until bestial ju reaches left side?

[remote badger]

ju is always been in left

so u also stab ju on left

[shadow garden]

ok so this works well enough for IS6 ed2 right? Should pram be on the left or the right side path?

[sly harness]

You will leak only some enemies like ~8 that naturally path through the cow when it is on top (you can easily kill them if you want)

Although I am not sure how it will work in the second phase of the cow if your damage isn't high enough to one cycle it (here you may run into some problems)

[odd spire]

wait am I tripping, where's left and where's right lol

ju is in the right side at the start, no? Wouldn't it be better to just burst him down there instead of waiting for him to path left

[remote badger]

wis s2

now

[shadow garden]

S2 dmg kinda meh but s3 summons kinda ass yeah

[remote badger]

not that

s3 aoe

is enough to touch right

if feet in middle

[woeful vector]

5 hrs??

does offile time also count?

[steel crest]

:icant:

[open finch]

Good operator

[cursive verge]

Dont get baited 🥹

[arctic panther]

get an encounter after clearing your first run > kill the floaty thingy that spawns after the encounter > get another encounter > ed5

is there any site that list new stuff upcmming then the next expansion?
