is-station

[heady hill]

is utage good in is6

[scenic saffron]

My maleknights goat seki

[heady hill]

for helidropping

[errant siren]

IS5 maybe

IS6 has much often unblocking shit

[late nacelle]

is IS6 the best IS? will my experience go to shit when I start doing IS2-IS5?

[errant siren]

so she just behave like a shit

[heady hill]

oh

[rich thorn]

IS6 is a peak relicslop theme

[errant siren]

Start with IS2 (Phantom) first. It has minimal mechanics and easy battle maps to get familiar with.

IS5 is easy to cheeze.

[rich thorn]

is2-is4 testing your skills
is5-is6 is relicslop powerscale

[late nacelle]

im level 90 on IS6 now :x just wondering if the previous ones are significantly worse or still as fun

[rich thorn]

uh

is4 is peak

[late nacelle]

I tried a bit of IS2 it was eh

[rich thorn]

is3 is big piece of shit

[errant siren]

Fun is subjective

[rich thorn]

🥹

[heady hill]

i think is5 is fun

[errant siren]

Maybe you love pain or you love cheezing and win every time

Who knows

[rich thorn]

is3 starts playing really different at d16+

[faint rampart]

???big transformation

[rich thorn]

wer

[late nacelle]

mmmm id say I love pain but like fair pain, not rng pain

[rich thorn]

I still hate when collaps lvl8 slaps my ass

[late nacelle]

oh I thought difficulty stops at 15?

[rich thorn]

is3 got update

and we FUCKING STILL WAITING FOR D18 IS4 UPDATE

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1215155702952362074/1389743783708721303/tumblr_bafd27b8bd784f65fc7349ce291e6fa7_beab12d0_250.webp

but ye

is3 and is5 have d18

[late nacelle]

what do you get for difficulty 18? is it just for insane people?

[rich thorn]

is6 will get d18 at dlc2 update

[errant siren]

Yes

[rich thorn]

pain and suffering

[scenic saffron]

You don't get anything from it

[rich thorn]

also, challenge and flex

🥹

[scenic saffron]

Just flex and challenging

[rich thorn]

but is6 is too slop

d15 feels like d9 in is4 or is3

[steel crest]

hota

[rich thorn]

maybe d12

[faint rampart]

from 200 relics IS to 25 relic IS(which might not even give you any big boosts)🫡

[scenic saffron]

Seki

[rich thorn]

truth nuke

and 8 dominion tiles

[faint rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-bocchi-hitori-gif-27014251

[rich thorn]

with inflation and -dp regen

[faint rampart]

realising this isnt IS6 where my random unit can tank mech/shattered champions on avg run

[rich thorn]

and then you enter bosky

with 2 deployment slots

🫃

[faint rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/xdd-xdding-gif-10133275800044742472

[rich thorn]

ah yes

dont forget

no greed

or you become literally blind

peak

[faint rampart]

🥹

[rich thorn]

and ed3 literally fucks up your pathing

[white iris]

Please help IS2 idk how to overcome it, i try and try already it's so difficult :((

[rich thorn]

and punishing with more collapse

[late nacelle]

the thing I like about IS6 is the radian progression I hope they do that too in IS7

[rich thorn]

they will

they already showed mechanist as wellfare 6*

and what he will share raidian lvlup system

[late nacelle]

leme look for it

[faint rampart]

play speccast maybe
check the relicless clears for bosses if that helps considering you cant just highroll

[sly harness]

unusual

[late nacelle]

awww man the operators is a bot

[rich thorn]

we dunno even what class he is

subclass*

[sly harness]

New summoner defender

[rich thorn]

🚬

or his model will be literally him and bot behind him

[faint rampart]

primal defender and we start running gg lapp2

[late nacelle]

his design looks like daft punk lol

[rich thorn]

and bro will be arts defender

[sly harness]

But more seriously I would expect something with a redeployment mechanic (like it is currently a gimmick that constantly reappears on new operators)

[rich thorn]

oh yes

it would be so funny

to chain hoshi2-exu2-kal2

for 4 hoshi2 s3

🥹

[sly harness]

I think about something Bellone, M3, Chen3 style

[rich thorn]

oh

that type

jumping

[late nacelle]

who is M3?

[sly harness]

Mon3tr

[devout veldt]

i guess ill just go fuck myself then the hell is this

[sly harness]

Gimmick stage

[errant siren]

Ines check stage.

[faint rampart]

woah i didn't know sash2 was that expensive 😨

[devout veldt]

ah yes the fuck you gimick

[devout veldt]

and i was planning on getting her next floor

[late nacelle]

I see a dp icon on floor what that do

[devout veldt]

i never got the chance to find out so idk im guessing kill that guy for dp maybe

[sly harness]

The invisible guy lowers naturally DP generation by 50%
The guys on the bottom lower the DP cap by 15 each (kinda irrelevant)

[late nacelle]

I see why this is an Ines check now

[sly harness]

tbh idk about Ines check

Just get an unit that costs 11 DP or less to open this stage

So Liberators with pots works (p2w game)

Or fish for collectibles that can open it

The kinda consistent option is ed2 collectible

And the Hoshi alter solo it because of 0 DP cost

[devout veldt]

it has to be 10 or less

[sly harness]

You have a few frames window to deploy 11

[devout veldt]

a few frames

be so fr

[sly harness]

Here I was simulating p2 Leizi (11 DP cost) with p1 Leizi (12 DP cost) + e1 Texas (+1 starting DP)

https://youtu.be/qoXsggbiAUA?is=50ydY4MfueX4Ociz

[grizzled nexus]

Bruh, maintenance

[steel relic]

[buoyant beacon]

Fuck

[steel relic]

L

[earnest shuttle]

rip

[errant siren]

I SEE GARDENER/SENTINEL

LMAO

Best timing ever

[buoyant beacon]

Gotta be after I beat the LAST FUCKING STAGE too like can you just break my run on 3rd floor or smth

[errant siren]

Oh wait

It's just Sami Mountain

Meh

Not a big deal

[steel relic]

One must imagine the AK player happy

Because they surely will never read the two separate maintenance announcements and adjust their plans

[buoyant beacon]

One hour and a bit, if it's not a big deal that's kinda on you

[buoyant beacon]

Hey, in my defense the announcement screen took forever to load

I have to wait a bit to read, and I have stuff to do you know

[rich thorn]

surely, ak players can read

and they are not skipping story

[calm silo]

is there a big difficulty changes beetwen IS? like what IS is easier to play?

[rich thorn]

what you want from players, what lost access to accounts due to new login methods or how that called

even after like 5 or 6 warnings from devs

[earnest shuttle]

IS5

[rich thorn]

actually, is2

because its shrimplest

[earnest shuttle]

I supposed is2 at low diff

[quick steppe]

is2 at low diff is shrimple

[earnest shuttle]

the higher ones doesnt kill ur ops but it leaks with bad starter draft

[quick steppe]

but at d15

💀

💀💀💀💀💀

[calm silo]

im just playing Sui's garden and finally complete guided tour 0 and 1 after a lot of attempts cause i finally understand how to do final stage

[rich thorn]

gonna say that again

red haze + bleeding = death

[earnest shuttle]

mortar gunner on f1

[rich thorn]

spear dudes rushers

but mine most hated stage

sec

[calm silo]

Sarkaz's Furnaceside Fables, right?

[earnest shuttle]

yup

[calm silo]

imma try it

ty

[rich thorn]

this one

[errant siren]

Bob's Beers

Mine favourite

Easy W's clear

[earnest shuttle]

this stage is okay, except last run the only sniper I had was wisadel and it ended there

[rich thorn]

or EM ursus desire

[earnest shuttle]

that one stage with originium dust has 2 variant

no healer = death

[glossy elk]

can we nuke Bolivar from existence ?

[buoyant beacon]

#5 is the easiest imo, #2 is easier but there is significantly less QoL there

[calm silo]

what abt #6?

[glossy elk]

6 is fine but ED2 is pain to deal with

[quick steppe]

6 is lowkey quite tough when starting out

[native sky]

Is 6 is disgusting pre expansion tbh

[earnest shuttle]

almost every stage gets easier with just raidian but you have to raise her through it so its not easy for beginner account

[native sky]

I haven’t playing dlc1

But pre expansion definitely wasn’t a good experience

[errant siren]

It doesn't even released yet, but we're already tempted to hate this theme, I guess.

[glossy elk]

i already had see extrme nightmare fuel by looking at Xelvy Creations but this IS takes the entire store

[errant siren]

And it added new Elemental Type

🥹

We're gonna suffer from Frenzy.

[rich thorn]

all nightmare fuel is a skam

trailer too

release will get chill jungle vibes

[glossy elk]

this IS also like Lowlight was we Going to brazil

[cursive verge]

Apparently this was foreshadowed in one of the anecdotes unlocked from IS2 endings

[rich thorn]

only 1 time I witnessed nightmare fuel in is

is4 ed3 and 4

because both ost and story was peak and scary

[earnest shuttle]

creature from is7 reminds me of madoka magica

[rich thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/madoka-magica-cute-kawaii-gif-12906781

[arctic panther]

we hate because scary

maybe when we nuke cthulu(ed5 boss trust) with our 1000+ relics it'll be less scary

[floral plaza]

i want a chill IS theme

[arctic panther]

is6

[floral plaza]

like idk kazi tournment theme

[glossy elk]

remeber on IS7 we all going to brazil you liked or not

[floral plaza]

feel like shit go wild in some ending

IS7 theme look like IS3 but with less known enemies

actually thats just IS4

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/kyubey-madoka-magica-kyubey-madoka-magica-gif-26136774

kill the cat

[carmine token]

Is4 so peak it got a second version 🗣️

[arctic panther]

i usually love all cats but this one must die

[carmine token]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1134535015888330846/1479563592972894229/alyrj2.gif

[glossy elk]

IS7 Endings will also be Nightmare Fuel

[floral plaza]

IS4 did gameplay right tbh

except the bosses

boss fights out side ed4 were dog shit

[carmine token]

sami was okey of a boss

[floral plaza]

for ed1 he was passable

[hallow vale]

is4 goated IS

[floral plaza]

but after IS5 and 6 ed 1 i kinda see him lacking

[gaunt bay]

Ed2 was interesting smh

Ed1a is one of the most interesting stages

[hallow vale]

eik sugs

[floral plaza]

alright lets see wha... wait why he is in my blue box?

[carmine token]

is6 ed1 is just annoying 😭

[gaunt bay]

Skill issue

[hallow vale]

i hate eik more than s*ntinel

[floral plaza]

out of all bosses blind runs he gave me the biggest ???

[gaunt bay]

Only sent was really problematic

But its okay it was difficult enough to be fun

[floral plaza]

its not about diffeculty btw

[gaunt bay]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1229271586352402452/1483274666259906640/IMG_2892.gif

[floral plaza]

i dont mind hard bosses

my issue is boss design it self

[hallow vale]

my sentinel wr is better than normal ed2 😭

[floral plaza]

ed2 just boring ass

[gaunt bay]

Ngi balls moment

[abstract willow]

Which IS is the easiest to get into with mostly Top Ops? I've only played IS6 because I wanted to raise Raidian but it's proving too much of a challenge to get her to E2 party because skill but partly because my 4* and below roster is nearly completely unbuilt

[hallow vale]

is5 ed 1 is easy and fast with lamp strat
just borrow wis 👍

[rich thorn]

sent is perfect

hard pathfing, hard boss

[floral plaza]

5 give you the most powers

[rich thorn]

[gaunt bay]

Is6 expansion 2

[floral plaza]

i dont look at spoilers

[rich thorn]

6 gives you kettle loop

[floral plaza]

you only do that if you read a guide on net

you discover talon and lamp by mistake in IS5

[rich thorn]

even at d18

[carmine token]

ed2 lowk buns to deal with at higher diff

[gaunt bay]

I think even now with ed4 runs ur richer than in is5 lamp

[rich thorn]

nah, even without that cocoon + shuttle is too op

[glossy elk]

and since i have my WIS already on Supprt it will become more easier

[floral plaza]

idk if he did ed 4

[boreal island]

Are there any specific stages in IS6 where raidian module beta is better?

[carmine token]

more sloppy then lamp

[floral plaza]

i assume askers like this only did ed1

maybe 2

[carmine token]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1431805645924991109/1472238243625046088/thatsfengshuibozo.gif

tis

[boreal island]

Tldr, hitcount stuff?

[floral plaza]

pretty much

[carmine token]

yea

[floral plaza]

it make her auto hit 4 times max

on 2 targets

[boreal island]

K, thx a bunch! That's cool actually

[floral plaza]

i wonder how can they break mechanist like raidian

[hallow vale]

is is6 d18 chongyue boss harder than is5 d18 ed2a t3 egg triple ed amiya?

[floral plaza]

conisdering summoner is kinda easiest archtype to break

[boreal island]

Increases block range . Telepathic blocking

[rich thorn]

ele dmg

[floral plaza]

inb4 you can deploy him in 4 tiles and he have big dps

:ya:

[rich thorn]

and maybe bro will get deployable robot

[floral plaza]

probably

the pic had his pet

[carmine token]

block a unit from entering the blue box if he is 8 tiles next to it

[rich thorn]

imagine first friendly unit what can run across the map

[boreal island]

We know he's a defender right?

[carmine token]

[rich thorn]

🥹

like in vector

[floral plaza]

we dont know what kind tho

[rich thorn]

no subclass info

[floral plaza]

tho i have no defender picks so i guess i have him now in 1 IS

:ya:

[rich thorn]

but masteries im sure

50% will be same as raidian

[boreal island]

Uu, he can share block with the box, that's... Not bad actually, but sounds op if he can't be targeted.

[gaunt bay]

New defender archetype with 3x4 range yup

Hes gonna be exu2 with one morbillion defense

[rich thorn]

and bubble reflect

[boreal island]

Defender/support meta wins again

[rich thorn]

[frail hearth]

yo guys, any tips for playing is 2? or just wisadel it?

[rich thorn]

ok fuck is

[carmine token]

he cant too just make him raidian 2

[floral plaza]

he will just have global lure

and lure entire map to his location

[rich thorn]

peak game mode is here

[carmine token]

is this zumama ra mod 💔

[boreal island]

Ye just Walter it. But your team might change depending on the ending you go for. Take tragodia for ending 1 for example.

[floral plaza]

look i cant member ra mods

i have not played that mode after any of those modules dropped

will remember them when ra3 drop

[frail hearth]

ohh, is there a reason behind it?

[floral plaza]

using lucian to kill lucian smh

[boreal island]

Isn't that just a certain RA exclusive operator?

[floral plaza]

.

[floral plaza]

the ending 1 boss have 40% dodge when not blocked

at d0 it probably not a huge issue but using dodge ignore like lemuen s2 or perma stallers like tragedy is good idea

[boreal island]

Basically Lucian runs around and breaks all your boxes and you start leaking. He also has that clownslayer dash. You want to either have a lot of block or a lot of CC. Trag just cat trolls him and S3 also works.

[floral plaza]

the crown slayer dash have a summon attached too

[frail hearth]

i see, the dodge thing is indeed annoying..okay thank you guys, very helpful

[floral plaza]

its a lot easier with modern ops

back in my days i used fartooth to bypass that

now insert old man image here

[boreal island]

Also, also, he deals nervous damage and can stun your ops. So keep him at a distance.

[frail hearth]

noted...

[remote badger]

🧓

[heady hill]

is click or indigo better in the start generally?

[floral plaza]

click

[carmine token]

😭😭

[floral plaza]

white shoes fartooth max spawn camp snipe was my first clear!!

[quick steppe]

for is5 rosmontis indigo

otherwise click

[carmine token]

https://tenor.com/view/an-iq-too-high-raven-crow-tiktok-gif-3869671553367641450

[boreal island]

I prefer click, but they the same person. indigo bind is actually better later on, but you usually bench them. Also click has stun, that still is good for hovering enemies.

[heady hill]

oh

[floral plaza]

oh ya i had a picture

[boreal island]

Pink chetto jumpscare

[floral plaza]

[minor wave]

I just got Zuo Le in the orineteering. Does he have some kind of weird/wacky combo in IS?

[sly harness]

He is usuabl in IS4

Can hold lanes in boss stages

[minor wave]

ohh for a generic laneholder. Too bad I also got Ulpianus along him so I might just use him instead of Zuo Le.

[sly harness]

Ulpianus can't replace him there. Generally Ulpianus isn't strong in IS, he has some great synergies with collectibles (especially starting SP which make him usable in IS5 with spamable S3) but other than that he isn't used (ofc I am talking here with high difficulties in mind)

[minor wave]

Ohh okay. That gives me some reassurance that Zuo Le has some use. I was just trying to find justification into raising him. I'll revisit him later, thanks!

[desert brook]

same

[floral plaza]

Will he exist in lore in is6 so you can cope an is module to come for him at one point

Surely

[desert brook]

zuo le "heals" a lot more than ulpi so he laneholds better without support

[inland elbow]

Less of a laneholder and more of a duelist

His whole thing is that against any enemies that is stunnable, he will probably win

His skill 3 stuns for 5s and he gets it every 6.8s

He's not really usable in is5 because of the hand problem

But he's quite good in 4 especially

And decent in 3

Though we have better options now

[minor wave]

Oh nice. I'm currently playing IS3 so maybe I can use him for that then.

[wary prawn]

which surfer skill for is5 and do I e2 her

[open finch]

1, probably not unless playing tac assault

[cunning karma]

Should I pick swire as my 3rd option over zuo le in orienteering

[slate hull]

she is better, but how often are you going to use her over other spec voucher options

[gaunt bay]

New kermimi pfp

[cunning karma]

it would take a long long time until I get my own exu (unless borrow)

[slate hull]

then it is probably fine, if you are not doing exu, swire alt is a great source of burst dps

[cunning karma]

people seem to like zuo le but I just don't know where I would ever use him

[sly harness]

Zuo Le is usable but kinda dead if you have current meta units

Swire is kinda a potential/niche woman

Surely IS7 will make her relevant again

[cunning karma]

true, we will get richer and richer in future IS right

[open finch]

Looking for wife that's like shu, or perhaps mother

Either works

Oh yeah status update on the is4 run

Zima and bellone sucked ass

Cringe

[cunning karma]

Anyway I will get Trag 100% so it won't matter, trust

[sly harness]

Surely

[gaunt bay]

[cunning karma]

my robot tag got ignored last two times, this time they finally found a robot and it's a fucking medic robot?????

rigged game

[slate hull]

what is this lancet 2 slander

[sly harness]

Good robot

Probably second best to get p6 after Vanguard

[cunning karma]

surely I will get enough robots to p6 before I quit this game

[sly harness]

Just spam a class tag (so e.g. Vanguard) with 3:50:00 time (if you don't have 4*+ combos)

You will still mostly get 3* but you will have some chance to get robots

[faint rampart]

why quit 😢

we need more cnese

[cunning karma]

we need more cheese

hitting 50 in orienteering again, what a scam

[arctic panther]

im doing the best i can to save for nasti(not very well though considering i spent literally everything on pramalter banner)

[cunning karma]

last time it was 61 pulls for logos, this time 61 pulls for ulpi

maybe it

it's time to play IS5 gvg

[arctic panther]

dont give in to the voices

[sly harness]

Just M9 your SA first

Normal SA not alter

[cunning karma]

not going to happen, I'll cope with leizi open

[sly harness]

[cursive verge]

Fib told me sakiko replaces ulpi in is5 gvg
Lukas told me otherwise
Guess what now I have both no more confusion

[sly harness]

It can't even follow the stage guides

[cunning karma]

I found some playlist for leizi start but it looks very messy

[sly harness]

I did? (Wasn't this about Saki not replacing SA?)

[cursive verge]

Uh no just ulpi

And yeah you did

[cunning karma]

because the guy put too much other leizi random shit in the playlist

[cursive verge]

Atleast to me

[sly harness]

maybe

[cursive verge]

Dw its fine

I cant cope swire2 for 3rd slot

Already picked blaze2 for niche ccb usage

[sly harness]

Blaze2 for RA CC

[cursive verge]

I got her asw

Sa2 and pram2 in 46
Blaze2 and ulpi in 30

[sly harness]

But for RA CC you need Yu too (I don't have Yu)

[cursive verge]

Thats 2 bad banner luck paid off

Wasnt blaze2 used for her talent in ccb

Or is this just for RA

[cunning karma]

stronghold protocol

[sly harness]

She was used for her talent (that is why she was used on like e2 lv1)

[cursive verge]

[sly harness]

Also I tried to replicate this...

But it was most likely frame perfect

I couldn't get the cycle right

[cursive verge]

No yu needed then (I can neither cope off-rate yu nor sprk him anyays)

[cursive verge]

Need to practive

[sly harness]

Need to pause deploy

[cursive verge]

True

[arctic panther]

should've gotten him on the free 10 pull

[cursive verge]

Oh yeah is5 245 needs pause deploy asw yep time to practice

[cursive verge]

I was on break back then

[sly harness]

That banner btw... 5* being the main thing on it

[cursive verge]

Quit after texalter banner, resumed on last few days of ulpi rerun

[sly harness]

[cursive verge]

[cursive verge]

Ik I got surfer too

Bassline for 5starknight thingies too

[sly harness]

And now Zima alter is looking similarly

With 5* seemingly being a much more relevant operator

[cursive verge]

Hg finally found a way to make good 5 stars consistently

Ahem my grammar

[sly harness]

It is another medic with a niche

[cursive verge]

Atleast it has one

[cunning karma]

how did is5 gvg work before trag m3 btw, double crusher and what else

[slate hull]

5* medics have always been pretty decent

[sly harness]

Medics are funny because like a half of them have some niche viability

[cursive verge]

Iirc the first iteration was SUH2A

Actually

[sly harness]

SA, Eyja alter and Amiya as main true damage

[cursive verge]

I dont think this had a true dmg dealee outside of amya yeah

[sly harness]

The lack of true damage was a big issue in ed2 without Chalice

[cunning karma]

time to pay $30 for better IS5 experience

[cursive verge]

Or hope kalter's true dmg numbers are good enough

[slate hull]

I really want to see somebody teleport from right lane to left lane during ed2

[faint rampart]

wasted 3 candles hoping for tuya dodge on breakthrough 😴

[arctic panther]

the teleport seems like its gonna be super fun to play with

[split void]

What is this original script?

Is it a tongbao name ?. Cause I can't find it here

[cunning karma]

the leaf

which you tossed

[split void]

Kay. Why ?

[cunning karma]

what

[cunning karma]

oh

[split void]

Why its name like this

[cunning karma]

stupid EN translation again I guess

[split void]

[cunning karma]

the CN text is more like "original script", and the picture on the coin I think is about the ancient Chinese characters that people found on turtle shells

so I don't know where "a people united" comes from

[quick steppe]

wasn’t it called original script before

which completely made sense

[muted jewel]

Question regarding phantom IS module
Do the stacks get removed when phantom is retreated?

[steel relic]

yes

[arctic panther]

servers back

we're not stuck in is central anymore!

[faint rampart]

[cunning karma]

[grand wraith]

uh which do i choose

i havent done any of the turmoil nodes yet

[pallid tree]

stir fry for sure unless you already promoted anyone through combat

[slate hull]

I thought bells weren't retroactive

[gaunt bay]

Hi sloppers

[cunning karma]

it's the opposite

well if you haven't done any turmoil node maybe stir fry

[arctic panther]

they aren't i think

[slate hull]

yeah, I am pretty sure they start counting the moment you get them, same as stir fry

would be wild if they updated based on how many operators you currently have, send somebody into scout/scroll, kneecap your bell stacks

or you know, get bells f6 and instantly get max stacks

[desert brook]

i was playing is6 last night and then went to sleep and now im waking up wondering why the fuck i reserved a defender voucher

[steel relic]

Hoshiguma alter

[desert brook]

i already have e2 hoshi alt

[slate hull]

did you need anyone with 4 block?

[desert brook]

im thinking again i probably wanted shu

cuz i dont have healers except amiya

[sick mason]

Not even Purestream?

[terse creek]

anyway I can clear this stage with my current sq?

[sick mason]

At least for me I always start with Raidian, Windscoot and Purestream

[sick mason]

Normal or emergency?

[terse creek]

normal

[desert brook]

i didnt get medic voucher the entire run lmao

i had the vanguard supporter specialist start

[sick mason]

No wonder why

[desert brook]

yeah

and guard vanguard squad

so that probably why

[gaunt bay]

Whats the sa2 mly vgg btw

Whats the lore

I have both at p5

[nocturne cape]

Its a dlc1 is6 comp

Good bosky duo

[rich thorn]

damn

[gaunt bay]

El technologia

[faint rampart]

oh btw have you tried sa2 start in is4🥹

[gaunt bay]

Oh i thought it was is5 stuff

😔

A shame

[long sluice]

is there a trick for this beside doing it 3x ?

[cunning karma]

Did you get your pram 🥹

[faint rampart]

wha

[crisp scaffold]

Which ware user is this

I mean the type of enemies

And how the f did u already failed 3 times

[faint rampart]

just check the raidian amiya playlist 😵‍💫

[cunning karma]

If this is the -dp one then it's not in that playlist

[long sluice]

i only failed 1x, it's the one with 3 DP-

[faint rampart]

bruh

[long sluice]

so just kill the dp- enemy one by one?

[faint rampart]

how did you even kill

[long sluice]

dian is 10dp

[cunning karma]

Who's dian

[long sluice]

raidian

[faint rampart]

raid

😔

[slate hull]

you need dp relics for that stage

like the wheel or get lucky with the ed2 relic that gives you 0dp on a random operator

[cunning karma]

Either you get some -dp relics to kill them fast with 10dp, or you bring an agent

[slate hull]

or you toss the 99dp coin

[crisp scaffold]

Or you get the wheel relic plus bring any vanguard with it

Wait that already mentioned

[gaunt bay]

No

This game fucking sucks

234 5 sa no pram

Shit game

I dont like arknights

[long sluice]

i just need the ink

[cunning karma]

that works

[long sluice]

i didn't get it tho

[long sluice]

waitt i got it, after clearing the dp- stage there's still 1 encounter in floor 5

[split void]

The line came across my mind : "not this time b!+%$:"

[cunning karma]

Take it

And also get the heavy armor tongbao

🫃

[nocturne cape]

What ending combination is 234 5

[severe oasis]

they adding ending 5 to is4 dont you know

[split void]

[severe oasis]

i can count on one hand the amount of times ive cleared all the statues in confusion

[gaunt bay]

I got access to is7

[split void]

Shu punch too hard

[deep anvil]

How does this work? Like recruitment vouchers post battle?

[fickle jungle]

In a path finder node you choose to take a special fight to promote op to candle guest
Or you choose the extra option in face off node
Finally lei fa coin

[deep anvil]

🙏

[split void]

Well basically anyway that you can find your op turn candleguest "after battle"

I think I never gain a stack of it ever. But maybe this is good to try

[fickle jungle]

Just always path into a pf node or face off
Works everytime 👍

[split void]

Idk. We usually e2 op through pathfinder right ?

Or recruit them there

So our good op usually already candleguest

I am talking about face off node

[brazen bane]

it depends

when you have bell already, obviously fighting in pathfinder will be better instead of just straight recruiting though

[split void]

But that you are talking about pathfinder battle

[fickle jungle]

The real one i know never draft op in path finder node

[split void]

I also never success protecting both op. Just 1

[brazen bane]

surely they draft in f2 PF at least

[fickle jungle]

Smile

[brazen bane]

[inland elbow]

Nope

[frail hearth]

Why do I keep seeing this when i almost reach the end

[inland elbow]

Sakikos fault

It's not joever yet, make sure your connection is there and wait a bit and try again

[frail hearth]

still cannot..ugh this is driving me crazy

[split void]

I want some advices in this stage
Like anything I should not do.
Any enemies easier to just leak

Why don't they just open this

[arctic panther]

keep one of the enemies on the left alive, then deal with sui

if all of the left lane enemies die wave 2 spawns

[split void]

[split void]

Just failed keeping enemies alive now have to do it again

[inland elbow]

You use radian s1 to keep a guy alive

[buoyant beacon]

Can you see this hole?

Yeah, I play #6 and alr clean all rewards off the shelf, and I just realize it's a freaking hole yesterday

Not even by myself, some dude put it on Youtube as a random footage and the dragon drop to death out of nowhere

I tho that was some kind of collectible, BUT NO THE HOLE WAS ALWAYS THERE

HAHA FUCK ME IG

[brazen bane]

[split void]

Splitting enemies

[arctic panther]

not those ones

the shu event ones

they spawn at the very start of the map iirc

[cunning karma]

that's basically what the stage is about, the statuegeist would keep spitting some shit for the dragons to eat so that dragons can fly over the hole, but if you block those shit you don't need to worry about the dragons anymore

[split void]

Yes I deploy shu on the left early

But she is like kill em all

This is so hard to choose

[cunning karma]

[arctic panther]

no i mean the fabric enemies

that spawn at the start

[split void]

Yes. I deploy shu to block them

[arctic panther]

use cuora or smth then

[split void]

Well done with the run anyway

It was -25 LP in that stage

1st time end 2 to 4

[buoyant beacon]

I tho the idea is random bullshit that you want to take care with high ground but all high ground tile you have on the stage is awkward and you are supposed to time the platform seaborn kill to get the perfect high ground, but the dragon will keep resetting that platform, so I don't actually bother to do it
Turn out I'm too big brain and the idea is they put a hole for you to not-fly-the-dragon and that's kinda it 😞
The real main complain is the hole look almost the same as the not-hole, I would like to blame myself for not seeing it, but with all the time I have spent, I don't think that's all on me to blame at this point, it's just doesn't look like a hole

[frail hearth]

how to do end 2 in is 3

[errant siren]

Find Knight Encounter, pay 2 Hope or roll dice to get him

Successfully defend him without let him die up to 5th Floor

If you roll a one, or Knight died in any battle

End2 gets fucked and you will be forced to End1 for the rest of the run

[woeful scaffold]

after obtaining anasa's karma can I trade away lotus petal so that I no longer have to deal with the -50% exp?

[errant siren]

Nuh-uh.

[woeful scaffold]

no??

[errant siren]

Cannot get rid of Ending relics.

[woeful scaffold]

so unfair lol

[errant siren]

Until you die.

Cope with debuff

Counter it

[sly harness]

~40 Hope to get the entire draft if you play Lamp

[woeful scaffold]

nah but only the anasa's karma says leads expedition to another ending, the lotus petal doesnt
why cant I trade it away?

[sly harness]

It doesn't show in lost and found anyways

[woeful scaffold]

bruh

[errant siren]

Because, once again, you cannot trade Ending-related relics

This rule is for all IS.

[sly harness]

In old ISes you couldn't trade anything that wasn't strictly a in combat effect (actually not entirely because debuffs like light loss in IS3 is not in combat effect but I hope you know what I mean)

[woeful scaffold]

fck this game 🥀

does this thing affect the shop rob?

if it does I'm cooked

[errant siren]

Every battle.

[woeful scaffold]

does it affect treasure chests?

[sly harness]

No

[woeful scaffold]

thank god

[sly harness]

f4+ shop rob will give 112 Ingots (if you get all chests)

[remote badger]

who the fuck told you about this info

[woeful scaffold]

nah cause I see that lotus petal doesnt say leads expedition to another path so I thought I can trade it away

[earnest shuttle]

its not too bad

just dont pick it up too early

or too late

[surreal field]

Pramanix freezing the whole map, colorized

[gaunt bay]

world's worst draft

[surreal field]

You mean my lineup? 😄

[faint rampart]

station to newbs😔

altho logos s1...idk

[proper forge]

Is elblana good in is?

[sly harness]

No (in context of max difficulty)

[somber stream]

No (in context of min difficulty)

[paper notch]

wtf eblana hater

[somber stream]

[surreal field]

That's a fun skill though!

Of course you wouldn't draft Exusiai of all people if it was a proper run, but it was a Memory Mapping and it should've been abandoned like 2 floors before anyway

[sly harness]

Exu is a bette pick than Logos S1

Exu was really used to burst ed1 boss back in the days on d15

[rich thorn]

I heard tree squad can open with eblana

[surreal field]

It was S1 because it looked like the stage would be easy enough anyway, and it was

It's not like you can't switch to S3 whenever (which I later on did in that run to fight the boss)

[faint rampart]

[gaunt bay]

She is d0 destroyer bro

[earnest shuttle]

anyone can be destroyer at d0

[sly harness]

Durin the Destroyer

[cursive verge]

I heard spalter and typhon IS mod details are out

First impressions?

[sly harness]

it doesn't look too good - is my impression

[cursive verge]

I see

[stiff crest]

bruh tf is that typhon mod

[faint rampart]

can she kill chongyue now

[sly harness]

Who can't kill chongyue if you just Ling Loop?

[faint rampart]

i wanna do some horrible things to you

[sly harness]

[gaunt bay]

Whelp depends on how much damage typhon does

We got the inf range kinda right at least

Maybe shell be better lemuen

[sly harness]

~800 DPH with S2 ...

It can't be good

[gaunt bay]

Okay but consider s3

Maybe it will have pretty crazy damage output

Theres base +40% already

[solar tree]

hello dalaos how do you not explode here?

[sly harness]

Having some starting DP or DP down for summons would be nice

Raidian S1 to stall the cars and Wisadel S3 as main damage

Just remember that the beer car reduces Block Count so stall away from it

Also if you stall just the cars the normal mobs will stay in place for like 3 minutes

(although if they enter the car and then leave it they will instantly path to the Blue box)

[cursive verge]

Raidian with s3 also solves like 99% of the map, rest 1% is hoshi2 precaution for any leaks

[sly harness]

Raidian S3 summons just dies to the snipers/casters if you don't do anything with them

[cursive verge]

Snipers

Wait

Is this not beach varisnt?

I mean ursus drone mb

[sly harness]

[cursive verge]

Nvm i am blind they sent enemy info

[somber stream]

Spalter becomes tanky, and has some synergy with Gravel or some FRD nearby? But without the slow increase of the other mod, that's a little questionable.

The only use I find with Typhon is against enemy Phantom.

Well, extra damage is okay, I guess.

[sly harness]

Phantom? the guy who is perma stalled by Trag and nuked by Wang mines?

[somber stream]

Well, Spalter's has a lot of words. Surely that'll be good.

[paper notch]

damn male dominated space. we truly are in the bad timeline

[somber stream]

Maybe Texalter S2 won't die instantly when dropped on enemy.

When was the last time I used Texalter, though...

[sly harness]

nah Chen3 was the last part of this relicless 3 ops clear

[paper notch]

women in male dominated fields

do you take shu or conserve for hoshigooner here?

[remote badger]

hoshi

[white stratus]

if it shu, i choose her
hoshi can wait but for temp shu it's not

[cursive verge]

Unless I am mistaken you ideally never draft shu

[faint rampart]

time to kill lukas for uploading a run with her

[white stratus]

I mean, if it temp, I always pick it, even the worst op
It would be funny if I gonna pick meta but the game gimme some mid op

[buoyant beacon]

Can't say for high diff myself, but if around d11 or less, depend on your lineup
If you don't have a hard carry at all, I'll go for Hoshi, otherwise say if I got smth like Rosmontis and Raidian alr on E2, 100% Shu

[faint rampart]

ros

[solar tree]

rosmontis known borken operator

[buoyant beacon]

Is Ros with mod α broken to hell or catwater here? I'm not following meta so idk

[remote badger]

which IS

[buoyant beacon]

We are talking about 6 so I guess 6

[remote badger]

ok

[buoyant beacon]

Can I get her overall grade too?

[remote badger]

no overall grade

[buoyant beacon]

Ayo Yomi btw, ello

[remote badger]

cus the dang thing is nonexistent

wh

h

is it

i have ammensia pls understand

[buoyant beacon]

Let me change my question, can you grade her in every IS? Just a very brief one is fine

[remote badger]

waitr

is5 is well

cracked

3 is well

4 is abit meh

6 is well fine

idk about 2

[solar tree]

I just explode here right

fisherman alt truly one of the stages of all time

[buoyant beacon]

||There's a legendary dude in #reclamation-algorithm-hub named Yomi back then, tbh I don't even know if that's you, but you bear the name, so bear the curse, like me
I am Yomi too (translate the name lmao) but I can't take it anymore so I run away and hide the name in rune language||

[buoyant beacon]

The real bs is the Talisman summon man wth is that 🗿

[remote badger]

that yomi is the one i know

[buoyant beacon]

Which Yomi- you know what? Nevermind

Ros is bad on 4? Been using her on diff2 and she's pretty cool there, can stop runner and all

[remote badger]

kind of

[buoyant beacon]

Here, in case u r curious

[remote badger]

cus thr ground is

quite unnice to rangeds

[buoyant beacon]

I see

[remote badger]

basically i still keep the name cus everyone(almost) got used to my name since then

[rich thorn]

goat in normal stages, IS and now at event

pram cant stop winning

[remote badger]

[rich thorn]

and fishes succ

[buoyant beacon]

I so knew it Kjerag is gonna be broken on Stronghold Protocol lmao, the cold on hit is just stupidly broken

Now we get both SA2 and Pram2 and both are alr broken on their own 🗿

Meanwhile Kazimierz:

[rich thorn]

kazimier was so meh, what they didnt add them this time

🫃

[buoyant beacon]

I mean I get to the endgame with like 8 Nealter flying around the map and it's kinda funny

Back then, dunno what they can do now yet, did they just remove the faction entirely?

Can't blame them they have like 0 synergy lmfao

[errant siren]

D2 is nothing.

D15...

Remember the running Banhammer deers?

[remote badger]

basically the is-station standard

[errant siren]

That hits hard.

Imagine with D15 stats.

Rosmontis Pillars will stop working as defenders.

[buoyant beacon]

Yeah just throw the worst one on every conversation, that's gonna work great

[errant siren]

Like

In lowdiff

Everything will work

So it's worst to compare either.

[steel relic]

I love when literally any non regular comes in and we crawl out of the woodwork to tell them nothing they do matters cuz it’s not d15

[buoyant beacon]

I mean diff2 is just way too easy for the bar, I know, but cmon now

[steel relic]

The station is so peak

[buoyant beacon]

Usually it start to get hard at D10, we can get from there

[remote badger]

d12

[buoyant beacon]

But tbh not even that man IS5 is like ass even at D15 lmfao

[remote badger]

10 is still nothingburger

is5 is different

18 is still nothingburger lol

[buoyant beacon]

Really? Damn 😭😔

[chilly garden]

Is Raidian still can handle difficulty 5 after this?

[remote badger]

ye

[buoyant beacon]

She carry my ass to D12 alr so, yeah

[remote badger]

btw for the clueless raidian solo is still possible

up to 15

[chilly garden]

Damn

[buoyant beacon]

Unlock her talents, those are broken as hell

[chilly garden]

She still can stall Yi in the middle?

[buoyant beacon]

There's one with progressive buff and on floor 4 i think? Her summon take no deployment slot, like excuse me??

[chilly garden]

[remote badger]

idr much

[buoyant beacon]

I hope my dude giraffe man can be half as broken as her on #7 lmao

[remote badger]

but theres likely a playlist somewhere

in isc

or where idk

[faint rampart]

so now you gotta join isc😇

[crystal niche]

a defender

[paper notch]

would raidian solo just mean you beat the IS with only raidian? you can just stack LP + shields and leak the entire boss stage

[buoyant beacon]

I mean, u can always just pick Hoshi for that while Raidian do the rest so

We can be Hoshi #2 trust me man flying giraffe cutter schwing schwing

oh fu

how do u keep the statuegist alive without activating

oh wait deactivating

[sly harness]

Btw the ones spawned by cow only spawns the small sheep

(keeping them alive is problematic though because they just die )

[crystal niche]

u mean get eaten by the cow?

also what does this mean?

[sly harness]

It means that you may choose your starting bonus in advance

Like prepare the run a few minutes earlier to have a choose f3 bonus

[magic plinth]

About the dragons that eat your operator, transform, and start low altitude flying.

If I deploy 0 block like Ascalon, will they still eat her like the maneating flowers, or can I stall them with Ascalon or ethan.

[solar tree]

no they're not like the man eating flower things

[sly harness]

You can stalk them with Ambushers. They only eat stuff when it blocks them

Although be mindful of collectibles that increase block count

[crystal niche]

but woudn't I be able to choose a favourable f1 anyways since I've already seen the f1?

[magic plinth]

Oh nice. New tech for me. Thanks.

[sly harness]

No, you are able choose the bonus before even recruiting your starting ops

[earnest shuttle]

I dont get the floor 3 part in the rule
what do they mean by having starter coupons, ingots, hope,... for floor 3 run ?

oh nvm ill scroll up

[crystal niche]

oh I'm guessing there's someone to check if we restart since there's a record schedule?

[remote badger]

bonus stuffs u see when starting a run

if

ur last run reaches floor 3+

[sly harness]

Yes you need to start the recording at the chosen time (that is why you start it on home scream which shows a current time)

You won't be able to restart after that

[crystal niche]

so you schedule for 3 different runs right? or ar they back to back

[solar tree]

how do you get the different endings in IS-2 again?
