[rich thorn]

d12 =/= d18

retoss tax will hit too hard for cocoon abusers

[faint rampart]

[rich thorn]

but idk about agent squad

@sly harness do you have way to get text from bilibili vid?

like you did in is central

[sly harness]

The IS5 thing? It was a comment

[rich thorn]

oh

[sly harness]

Although I remember someone doing something like this

[rich thorn]

agent squad irl

[remote badger]

[faint rampart]

why

[faint rampart]

[gaunt bay]

Surely theres gotta be a way to have an ai learn IS/Ak terminology to properly translate

[rich thorn]

one of encounter options for agent is literally

get 6 candles, enter bosky

[remote badger]

been training one

[rich thorn]

and all nodes revealed in that bosky

[remote badger]

just the issue of not having a gpu 🥀

[rich thorn]

SniperMed is a joke

[slate hull]

the strategies are integrating hard today

[rich thorn]

L&F agent btw

[slate hull]

these images are like the nightmares you have after playing is for 8 hours straight

[rich thorn]

looks like any non battle have base option, and new agent option, where is 1st one random, and 2 other are fixed (relic and voucher)

could be 1-3 candle and enter bosky, 6 tickets on toss, scout option, and even more shit

and that works in gamba and retrieve nodes in bosky too

[solar tree]

whose alter even is this?

[slate hull]

moon lady or whatever her name is

[errant siren]

Flying Dodgy fucker.

Just drop her down and DPS.

[sly harness]

U-Official solves it

[errant siren]

Anyone has Hoe holding Qui'lon stage with S1 vid?

Without medics preferably.

[sly harness]

You can't really do that without a medic

You need to heal the flowers

[errant siren]

Bruh, I said you can.

[jolly wasp]

Do I need to take this item in order to get ending 4 ???? Please tell me

Bricked the run

[sly harness]

It is d0 surely you can win without ASPD

I remember running d0 to practice boat jumping with just kings it was killing Qiu'lon fine

But lack of HP was an issue

Fish the +100% HP and you should be fine

[earnest shuttle]

is there a relicless clear for ed4 ?

[sly harness]

At d0

Some slop clears where first was literally a full squad of 6*

[earnest shuttle]

fair enough

[remote badger]

d0

[sly harness]

Then it was optimized to some smaller number

[remote badger]

never ask about d18

[sly harness]

Idk what it was exactly

[remote badger]

cus its just literally just leak

[sly harness]

Iirc the map1 is solved

Chen3

[remote badger]

so just leak on map2

[sly harness]

[remote badger]

peak of schizophernia

maybe next year map2 is solved

is raidan good in IS-2?

or would you rather draft tragodia first?

[sly harness]

Raidian is only good in IS6

[earnest shuttle]

[rich thorn]

remember that times when ling was good in IS2?

Would prefee exu2 on kalter but I xan take this instead asw

never thought I would see aak and chilchuck in the same squad

[rich thorn]

kalter is weird

[cursive verge]

Free pulls

[rich thorn]

nice to have, but no space in hope economy

🥹

[cursive verge]

Surely I cam cope kalter in plqce of mon3tr

🥹

[rich thorn]

then kal better no?

kalter is either ranged true dmg or redeploy shenanigans

[cursive verge]

I mean for IS

[rich thorn]

I mean that too

[earnest shuttle]

her true dmg is limited by bullets so hopefully is7 would be better for her

[cursive verge]

can she actually replace mon3tr tho

[rich thorn]

is5 for sure not

[cursive verge]

Oh yea her s2 is ammo

No aspd buffs

[rich thorn]

cuz monsta jumps s3 boats

[cursive verge]

I cannor cope I see

[earnest shuttle]

kalter tele through boat then come back

[inland elbow]

You know this is a serious clear with those pots

[rich thorn]

but no true dmg

🫃

what if

[earnest shuttle]

Honestly still better than my medic draft rn

[rich thorn]

exu2

[solar tree]

gang do you even have enough dp to deploy all this

[rich thorn]

and kalter

and rosm

send 2 in boats and yeep with kalter

[cursive verge]

Ines and chilchuck:

[rich thorn]

idk about ines

cuz she is on s3

[cursive verge]

[solar tree]

[cursive verge]

Im in jinxi border

[solar tree]

not a secret floor but I'm glad you enjoy it

I hope the final boss isnt that bad

I didnt expect a random item i bought on the second floor to take me here 😭

[cursive verge]

Ah

Whistle

[earnest shuttle]

if under d5 should be easy

[solar tree]

average en player

[mild cairn]

Its difficulty 7

[sly harness]

[earnest shuttle]

still good to go

[mild cairn]

Well to be fair it didnt specify anything

Wondrous effects...

[solar tree]

wat does your squad look like rn?

[earnest shuttle]

They should change Yanese Dictionary to Laterano Bible cus I dont think theres more Yan ops using ammo than Laterano ops

[steel crest]

give the mumu passport item in stronghold protocol to blaze2 to make her chudterano faction

[mild cairn]

Wait

[wind lantern]

what does emergency dispact do in IS3?

[inland elbow]

On next floor: E2s op, cures if they have a rejection, gives some ingots

[river pagoda]

What does unsealed case even do

[paper notch]

relic needed to do ed4

after picking it up, a new option shows up in scout node

you need to send 1 operator into the new option to be set on the path to do ed4

[river pagoda]

Ohh

[paper notch]

preferably sending them on floor 3. if you're lucky scout appears on floor 4

scout doesnt appear on floor 5 unless you have the tongbao that spawns a scout node in

it also makes the ed1 and ed2 fights into an alternate version

while just buffing stats so ye

[river pagoda]

I just decided not to buy it, seems like it gives some cons at first

[paper notch]

i mean it does ye but if you wanna do ed4 then you're gonna have to get it

[river pagoda]

Ohh alr

[vestal plaza]

alright guys what's the strat

only d10 but i don't think i have a way to burst the feet quickly

very hard to lose but i can mess up easily

[faint rampart]

you got exu2+ sakichan

also not sure if trag s2 is supposed to be used here

[paper notch]

wis s2 to help left side i would say is more worthwhile than whatever s3 is supposed to do here

but you have a bunch of lives. you should be mighty fine

[remote badger]

u have 1

[vestal plaza]

alright i overthinked it lmao it's d10 how could i even lose with this

[remote badger]

[vestal plaza]

exu easily blasted through the feet by herself

[remote badger]

[open finch]

Holy kichisei based

[vestal plaza]

i had 37 life points going into this lmao

it was a good run

i'm gonna go for ed3 next

[earnest shuttle]

they should bring back rejection in is7

there's a reason they didnt hire you for game design in HG 🙏

[faint rampart]

intead of cooking new IS

[glossy elk]

but IS7 is just a fucking Nightmare fuel and we all going to brazil

[visual smelt]

I havent fought Cannot in IS6 yet but I’m about to do it, do I have enough to beat him?

[earnest shuttle]

are you at floor 6 ?

[visual smelt]

Like the last floor, Guided Tour 7

Not sure if its 5 or 6 in this IS

[arctic panther]

are you doing ed3/4

[earnest shuttle]

probably doable, but first try tend to fail so just try it I guess

[visual smelt]

Doing ED2

[arctic panther]

ok so its f5

[visual smelt]

Okay that was easy, but I’m going into ED2 with only 11 Life

What’s the strategy to beating the right side with minimal leaks?

Would any of these guys help?

[faint rampart]

someone who can kill the small guys without killing big dogs....uhh

[visual smelt]

...Ethan....?

[digital wyvern]

D15 next 💀💔

[faint rampart]

i guess💀

[desert brook]

if you have good atkspd ethan could permabind left lane lol

but with 11lp i think it would be better to lean towards just cleaning out left side

[visual smelt]

okay, I'll go with him then. Whats the best way to bait the boss stomp? I noticed Wisadel seems bad for it

[desert brook]

raidian summon or frdp on bottom left or bottom mid iirc

but you need to make sure you dont bunch up any units, like wisadel + her summon is 2 units so the boss always prefers that over a single e.g. raidian summon

ive never used wisadel for ed2 so idk how to use her there, ive heard shes really good for clearing left lane tho

cuz s2 hits a lot

[sly harness]

Wisadel S2 for left

But you will probably want to deploy her on to solve the way and then retreat her

There is enough time to redeploy her for ever of 3 waves but you should make sure to bait out stomps before deploying her

[desert brook]

wait doesnt pram alt solo left lane

[faint rampart]

😶

[visual smelt]

oh yeah...maybe pram can do it without ethan...

[arctic panther]

exu2 trivializes ed2

[visual smelt]

is it her damage? I dont have any ammo collectibles this run

[arctic panther]

damage and shield generatioj

iirc it can survive d15 stomps relicless

[visual smelt]

well...everyone got wiped by the extra stomps...was there any way to counter it? (even Exu had her shield up)

it worked, I had to leak a bit, but on the second deploy Exu2 killed him

thanks for the advice

[arctic panther]

after half health sui insta retreats everyone

[visual smelt]

ohh I see

makes sense

[arctic panther]

you usually want to leave him near half health while you deal with the rest of the map before nuking him once everything else dies

[visual smelt]

Had to leak like 5 but it worked out for the most part

How do I hold off on killing him?

[faint rampart]

bait him in some corner wher your dmg can't reach?

[visual smelt]

I guess its just hard to see it working with the team I was using considering most of them had big range coverage

[untold torrent]

I have a question
In IS4 +15 can Haruka with her 2 skill protect the team from the Kharanduu Khagan and Lugalszargus's one shot artillery? Or only the third skill can help there?

[inland elbow]

They have 3000 attack each

And cannon is 2x their attack

So your ops need like 4200 hp to live

Tbh just learn how to setup the liberator cycle so you don't get cannoned in the first place

[desert brook]

what 4* caster to raise for IS

[cunning karma]

Click for IS5, for IS6 anything works but feels equally useless

[sly harness]

Indigo too

Still for IS5

Click has higher damage and the stun utility that can be copeabel sometimes

Indigo is a bit like Ethan but single/double target

[desert brook]

icic

click for is6 could be useful, free option for the f3 flying boss

[cunning karma]

not like you really need their damage anyway, 4 star casters only feel relevant in 1F when you need to pick a caster in your starter team

[sly harness]

U-Official

Or May too be ye you can cope Click too

[rich thorn]

but she is supp voucher 😭

and casters are ass

[sly harness]

Personally I find free casters completely useless in IS6

[desert brook]

i lowkey forgot may s2 stuns

ive always used her s1

[sly harness]

In IS5 I could use them to break the spines at least

Or for Ros

Ros isn't even picked in IS6

[desert brook]

stonks

[sly harness]

It isn't that crowded and idk whether coping Trag for f2 Bosky is a good idea

There is Gnosis too but he doesn't look like f2 Bosky pick

[rich thorn]

surely you gonna candle u-off in pathfinder battle

[sly harness]

So after getting one you Hope curve won't allow you to draft Gnosis instantly

[rich thorn]

for f2 bosky

[sly harness]

Nah

I am just saying that early support = most likely a free pick

Ofc assuming you have your Raidian e2

[faint rampart]

stun for drone stage :peepo:

[sly harness]

But you may be right about U-Official having low prio because Roberta is good for pathfinder fights

And maybe you can cope Deepcolor for dodge too

[rich thorn]

cuz if you pf

[faint rampart]

nvm she prolly dies

[rich thorn]

battle

for f2 bosky you will have only 2 units

🚬

[sly harness]

Yes Raidian + a second carry

[rich thorn]

if you not tianshi ofk

with f2 safe house

[sly harness]

You can always use Bosky to recruit though

Also isn't f2 safe House rare?

[rich thorn]

idk, but it could happen

[sly harness]

BiS second carry for Raidian start on each voucher:
vg - probably skip (SA cope ig)
guard - Leizi
sniper - Wis
caster - Prama
spec - Exu
supp - probably skip (Trag cope)
medic - skip
defender - Hoshi

Anyone willing to limit test vg and supp voucher?

[rich thorn]

medic prob ami medic

[sly harness]

[rich thorn]

cuz that playlist

[sly harness]

... You can... But we have 3 f1 vouchers and I am not sure what would force me to draft Amiya nowadays

Like she works... Without ed4 collectible but...

Idk maybe

Okay let's assume d18

Amiya won't work there... Surely

[desert brook]

amiya doesnt feel that good to use in is6 in my experience

nice to have a medic off a caster voucher tho

[sly harness]

I mean she is great in f2 Bosky but I want to have 6*. Okay?

[desert brook]

idk if im just bad but i cant find a use for her in bosky

[cunning karma]

Amiya is not really doing much in that playlist except for a few maps like strange tales and I would rather leave those for later if possible

[arctic panther]

but you have pram off a caster voucher

[desert brook]

yea but amiya is when youre hopeless

better to get amiya than a 4* or 5* caster

[faint rampart]

*hool

[cunning karma]

Sometimes picking Amiya will brick your next 6* pick though

[sly harness]

Not sure about early Hool

[cunning karma]

Unless you're on class squad or something

[desert brook]

oh i usually play class squad thats prolly why

[faint rampart]

idk about limit test but i did have a recent run with sa2 as my only other candleguest on f2 and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. they could not do SHIT

[inland elbow]

Danger uses chen3 for guard and salt for vg. Supp is for radian ofc

[sly harness]

I am talking about Raidian start

[inland elbow]

E1 radian on econ squads

[sly harness]

Although getting 3 support vouchers may be unrealistic

And nice Chen3

[inland elbow]

You get 2 f1 combats, 2 shop vouchers + promo books, f2 pathfinder combat

Danger only recruits hoshi or exu immediately iirc, otherwise he conserves the first voucher of other classes

Then if he gets a second matching one he gets the 6* and uses the conserved voucher at bosky

[sly harness]

Interesting

What about the f1 shop candle then (if you don't recruit a second carry on f1)

Just on random body?

[iron orchid]

I think they perform extremely similarly if canta is unblocked and gets aspd up from talent, but surfer wins because you can still get the same performance even while blocking

[iron orchid]

@solar tree everything

[green sable]

Cantabile gets extra attack when blocking tho

But is defense more valuable nvm, DEF steal is on S2 I forgor

[solar tree]

have you somehow figured out which 5*s are viable in IS yet?

[slate hull]

forgot to mention, this is purely in terms of dp printing

[chrome tangle]

Nah fuck that

[iron orchid]

for 5* only yeah sure, I've figured some out

[chrome tangle]

I defaulted to ED2 every time for 5*s 🛏️

[iron orchid]

yeah but I can’t stand hollow visage either

[chrome tangle]

Firewatch for UFOs bro

[iron orchid]

I know

[chrome tangle]

Gotta understand the vision

[iron orchid]

mine is e1

[chrome tangle]

🥹

Oh gg's

[iron orchid]

thats why

[chrome tangle]

Uninstall right naow!

[iron orchid]

ik the angle i dont have it 😔

[chrome tangle]

😔 fake pro gamer

[iron orchid]

ive done it once with temp firewatch and it was peak

[chrome tangle]

ED4 is fun doe

I still haven't figured out normal ed3

More like I gave up

[iron orchid]

my og niche is badknights, not 5*knights
since shes a good unit i never actually built her

[chrome tangle]

She's bad at e1

Thus u can bring her

[iron orchid]

dont think shell work as well

I wanted to try coldshot or snow hunter for the ufos

but im slowly getting back to is4 after the is6 purge and need to get used to it again

first class randomness is rough, i forgot how much

[solar tree]

well like which ones are the not so terrible ones then?

[paper notch]

umiri :ya:

[iron orchid]

that being said I also have quite a handful of 5* unraised, the good ones

so i can’t vouch for them since i can’t use them

I can vouch for niche ass shit like mint almond is4 opener 😭

[iron orchid]

which IS

[cunning karma]

am I crazy if I actually want to convert specialist chips into guard chips

[chrome tangle]

Why would it be crazy

Its just inefficient

But if u want those chips rn, who cares

[cunning karma]

there are too many guards in this game

[iron orchid]

@solar tree here are the ones that i think arent completely ass or have an angle i've used before, all IS mixed

im not including the ones I haven’t used a lot (excluding the obvious ones)

[chrome tangle]

Where Cement

[iron orchid]

thats more of a question for #help

[iron orchid]

haven’t really used her at all

[chrome tangle]

Stalls Eik

[iron orchid]

Grani can do that

[chrome tangle]

Why would u lie to me

[iron orchid]

how broken is grani!

[cunning karma]

I already know what their answer would be

[iron orchid]

still not a question for this channel
make sure to keep topics IS related here

[cunning karma]

[chrome tangle]

I kinda think I would just defender swap at some point

Cause Id need Underflow for Sent

And Bison/Croissant are just nice en route

[floral plaza]

before surtr we used to say just grani it

totally am not lying here

:clueless:

[iron orchid]

to be fair I just draft bison and aurora and im fine

harmonie/nightmare/manticore for slow and

[glossy elk]

still stuck for while on D9 on IS6

[cunning karma]

what made you pass D8 but not D9

[desert brook]

highroll

[coral lynx]

Do we have info on Mechanist?

[cunning karma]

no

[proven dagger]

crazy out of context

[slate hull]

I fully expect it to be like Raidian, S+ tier with all the upgrades in is6, but not great anywhere else

I guess you'd need to replace the 6 with a 7, but you get the point

[grizzled nexus]

Bruh, tried to change Sakiko S2 into arts in Feng Shui but she's locked in her fever. And so the arts birthed enemy all entered the blue box.

[hybrid mural]

For IS6 is May s1, s2, or both generally used? 1 looks a bit easier to apply overall, but thought I might as well ask.

[slate hull]

they are good for different situations, it is hard to really generalise this

[hybrid mural]

Clearly an m6 angle then
I'll just raise both since I need them for some other stuff anyways, and it's cheap.

[cunning karma]

just don't bother I guess not like May is actually doing anything in IS6

[slate hull]

yeah, there aren't a lot of situations in is6 where slow/stun does anything

[proven dagger]

@open finch tech incoming

[proven dagger]

its useful early floors

1-3

mostly f3 and f2

[slate hull]

I tend to grab ethan because that is bind + aoe damage for stages like feng shui

[cunning karma]

but usually you have e1 May

[proven dagger]

yeah e1 may works

stun is great for grounding Moonlight for example

or slowing boars/dragons

yay

[slate hull]

I have never really tried May on moonlight before, but it sounds pretty legit

[proven dagger]

yeah

[slate hull]

yeah, I have used slows on dragons, has to be the most annoying enemy in the mode, but you still need somebody to actually kill them

[proven dagger]

obviously e1 isn't as consistient but nonetheless she's a good draft for it

i find may gets a decent chunk off the dragons at least, if you make them fly

[grizzled nexus]

This is quite a wide map

[grizzled nexus]

I do it all the time with 9 Colored Deer with her talent at 38/40 so I get a refund immediately. Only with E2 chip though, never with E1 chip.

[cunning karma]

9 colored deer 😭

[odd rose]

why is the ed5 encounter not guaranteed

[cunning karma]

This is how IS5 works

[grizzled nexus]

With 6* Operator list so far in CN, we have:

Vanguard: 11
Guard: 30
Defender: 13
Sniper: 16
Caster: 20
Medic: 9
Supporter: 15
Specialist: 18

Of course we want to trade Specialist chip with Guard chip

[cunning karma]

guardknight

[odd rose]

fuck this boss

[proven dagger]

i just noticed i haven't unlocked all of is5 shop yet 😭

[cunning karma]

[grizzled nexus]

With perk that we get +20 ingots in the bank each time we cleared and Ending in IS6 is a blessing.

[proven dagger]

fr

[odd rose]

like shit?

good run

no encounter

[muted tiger]

Holy shit, I actually did the boss for once!

... Holy shit, I suck at this boss.

[lusty mesa]

does this also increase if i play operators that are already candleguest

[cunning karma]

no

[lusty mesa]

then this relic is kinda bad unless you get it really early

[cunning karma]

it's still easier to stack than stir fry if you get them from F3 Boss

[lusty mesa]

i never use recruitment ticket outside pathway

my op are already candle guest by the time f3

but i guess even 1 stack is really strong so its balanced

[cunning karma]

then you'll be missing a lot of rewards from the pathfinder fight

[lusty mesa]

i dont know is6 meta paths x.x

im just playing by feel

[cunning karma]

usually people would only consider lighting with conserved voucher in F2 pathfinder, after you get enough candle guests for the bosky fights you just don't conserve anymore and slowly get candle guests from face-off/scout/pathfinder fight (Tianshi squad would also have the luxury to conserve more and use with a candle or at safehouse)

[odd rose]

are you kidding me

no amiya encounter

[muted tiger]

Aaaannnddd done!

First time doing a 2-4 run successfully.

It's also my first higher difficulty run without Raidian I think?

It's not a difficulty level 15 run.

@winged quartz

[odd rose]

why am i not getting the ending encounter

this is cursed

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

i have the strupid item

[muted tiger]

Are you kidding me.

Another D32 steel wanter.

[odd rose]

yk what

is5 is dogshit

[solar falcon]

i just started is5 and i think i agree. kaz falls is complete and utter nonsense

if it's not the hardest floor 2 stage in all IS combined i don't know what would beat it

[odd rose]

wait till you see how i failed to get ed5 2 times in a row coz it's not guarantreed

3 hours gone

[quick steppe]

kaz falls in contention for greatest knowledge check of all time

[odd rose]

i'm so salty

why is it rng

[solar falcon]

that's a roguelike for you

[sinful basin]

[odd rose]

the ending

why is it rng

just wasting my fucking time

[cunning karma]

kaz falls is really a troll map when you blindly enter but once you know what's going on the jungle map actually feels harder imo

[west quarry]

my name is hg and my stage design is flowers

[sinful basin]

i always die in floor 4 of IS5 there a battle where 3 big hammer dude at the top smashing some rock, anyone have advice in that map?

[cunning karma]

skip

[sinful basin]

but momma dont raise no lich

[solar falcon]

going back down to previous IS from IS6 feels terrible now, i got spoiled by voucher conservation big time

doesn't help that the game is determined to give me one of every class before i promote one

[heavy pumice]

ohh that 3 lane map
well its on the harder type of map
back then i counter it by playing firework core

let the big dude destroy every road block and block them right in front of blue box

that the first step, the second just throw every dps you have at them

[sinful basin]

i see, let the construction worker do their job is it

[heavy pumice]

while kaz fall and jungle is very easy map

[cunning karma]

let's not compare F2 maps with frequent dispute

[heavy pumice]

[sinful basin]

all those map with extra exp and ingot worth fighting right?

[cunning karma]

only if you survive

[sinful basin]

i'm part of the yolo faction

[solar falcon]

and now i just died toa stage where i was just losing HP constantly and honeyberry e1 couldn't outheal it

is5 really fucking sucks so far tbh

[sinful basin]

how many note total do i need to get amiya ending?

[heavy pumice]

well...
its IS, if doesnt like let say IS5 then can try different IS's

[solar falcon]

yeah but i have all the rewards to get

will probably be better once i grind out the meta upgrades but bleh

[heavy pumice]

tech tree?
yeah sure

[solar falcon]

the spines are such a miserable mechanic

[sinful basin]

i like the spines, extra reward

[solar falcon]

the part where you're all but physically incapable of killing them in the first couple of floors and they taunt your ops is a problem

[odd rose]

FINALLY

[brazen bane]

I like the part where Logos' mom spawn a particularly large spike

what did they mean by this

[graceful oyster]

Myriad aspect positive ?

[errant siren]

[odd rose]

YOOOOOOOO

[copper orchid]

Nice

[odd rose]

ehem

fuck the rng to get the fight

the fight itself was super fun

[cursive verge]

I think thats chaos
Chaos is poison fog map
And honeyberry's normal healing is bad

So yeah expected

(Also nobodh drafts wandering medics)

[solar falcon]

in a mode where you're constantly getting hit with necrosis? do people just draft a regular healer then

[muted tiger]

Qucik question, what does the blooming flower squad do anyways?

I keep slacking on retossing the coins.

[cursive verge]

Unless your wandering medic's name is eyjaberry, your wandering medics cant do shit

Amd yeah you just draft a normal medic

Actually do ppl even draft eyjaberry these days

[cunning karma]

best squad for d11

[brazen bane]

infinite coupon work

[muted tiger]

That doesn't actually tell me anything.

[solar falcon]

at 6 hope i can't imagine drafting a medic other than kal/monst/reed

i'm more thinking of sub-6 star drafts

[cursive verge]

That wasnt for you

[cursive verge]

It wqs for the other two gpobers in chat

[gaunt bay]

No (assuming no bans)

[cursive verge]

[muted tiger]

Flower coins -> coupons.

Icic.

[brazen bane]

also you can rig your coin pouch a lot more since the life cost is fixed

[muted tiger]

And since coupons -> more nodes -> more ramping up.

[arctic panther]

yes (assuming they have no other healers)

[arctic panther]

or just like eyja

[faint rampart]

🧎‍♂️ eyja my goat
dont wanna get h*ruka from sup voucher :YA:

[gaunt bay]

ok but u dont get haruka either

[faint rampart]

i didn't have anyone to kill the foot so~

[muted tiger]

Welp, learned my lesson on that.

Drafting Tragodia at start and running into this specific node will have very good chance of killing me.

[grizzled nexus]

Veteran Actor Emergency is quite tricky for F1. Those flying talisman on all ranged tiles make it harder too on D15. And that Statuegeist is somehow so tanky too.

[faint rampart]

almost thought i lost the knight
it didnt come in bosky😴

[sullen wren]

Hi all, in IS6 faceoff node 2nd option, can we choose which op become the candleguest? or it must be the op used for the fight

[errant siren]

Must be op used for fight, obviously.

Only those one used gets Candled.

If you win ofc.

[sullen wren]

thanks 👍

ah it does say 'participating op', missed that out 😀

[faint rampart]

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

i imagine its my gpu

but how does it show up on a screenshot

and the subsequent maps are fine

[faint rampart]

1st attempt izumik got cooked 🛌

[scarlet pond]

aww so cute

[west quarry]

She stir my fry

till i sui

[solar tree]

[west quarry]

can you guys stop reacting with that or itll happen irl 😔

[brazen bane]

Game will eos before is station stop using mpreg

[strong kestrel]

God is3 is so much harder than the rest lol

[remote badger]

its a tradition

now stop wondering

[severe oasis]

its fun tho

[sick mason]

It is hell

[rich thorn]

then you will get tons of moni

[sick mason]

Which IS6 squad is the "strongest" based on y'all opinion in dlc0, 1 and 2?

[floral plaza]

Sui shadow

🤫

[sly harness]

dlc0: gvg (because I was playing Raidian ban)
dlc1: Tourist
dlc2: idk, ig Tianshi Bureau, I like it even now but with the dlc2 buffs looks even better

[sick mason]

Raidian ban is super bold

[rich thorn]

dlc0 - speccast or support with raidian+exu2 start
dlc1 - tourists/tianshi/flower
dlc2 - tianshi/tourists/agent

[sick mason]

Dlc2 new squad is agent squad?

[rich thorn]

yes

[rich thorn]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1R26LBqEoj/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click&vd_source=d6abe50b1c95cf7c7832beea31ef2954

[sly harness]

There are 3 new squads

[rich thorn]

and updates for 3 existing theme ones

[sly harness]

And agent (also called proxy) is the one that is meta

There is also something like an Ingot equivalent but I haven't heard much about it recently

[rich thorn]

lets just say, get 6 candle + full bosky reveal is op

[solar tree]

hi

[sick mason]

What full bosky reveal?

[solar tree]

lukas do you maybe know if 5*s only is possible for IS-6 dlc1?

[rich thorn]

you will see all nodes and can enter any node

💀

[sick mason]

Holy

[sly harness]

And supposedly very rare (you won't get it every run)

[rich thorn]

still op

and that one im sure its only agent squad thing

[sly harness]

1. It is
2. N*che

[rich thorn]

same with loose all ignots and trade coins

[sick mason]

Hmm

[sly harness]

Bulwark can give you cocoon

[rich thorn]

also, makes retrieve nodes pretty useful

[sick mason]

Retrieve nodes getting buffed outside tianshi bureau dlc2? Wow

[rich thorn]

if I got it right, each non combat will get special choice option, inside 1 random and 2 fixed options (+1 relic or random voucher)

[sly harness]

I believe that they will still be situational. Because you can roll 2-8 outside of 5x5, if you roll only 2 ofc you will get them but with 8 I doubt

[sick mason]

Hello there ms. drunkard

[rich thorn]

depends, cuz idk how that would work

maybe, you can get + candle option inside bosky

and turn retrieve into +5 candle

[sly harness]

Oh you were talking about Agent still

[rich thorn]

yes

[sly harness]

I was thinking about Tianshi Bureau Squad

[sick mason]

Why does it feel like dlc2 brings more broken stuff and QoL update than dlc1

[rich thorn]

tianshi could benefit from that prob only if you choose stove

instead of rule

[sly harness]

(there will be some rewards for completing all Retrieves)

[sick mason]

I guess it's all preparation to combat D18 ed5

[rich thorn]

ye and that

main reason why maaaaybe rule will be worse than stove

[sly harness]

First ed5 prereq and ed2 will stats check you

[rich thorn]

f4 already will statcheck enemy check you

• fucking exp/ignots debuff

[sick mason]

Truly inhuman stat compared to IS5 D18

[sly harness]

You hit like lv8 before it

The only issue will be using the Hope before picking it

[rich thorn]

yeye, if not t3

saw that there

[sly harness]

Even with t3... Can't you hit lv8 on f3?

[rich thorn]

dunno, sorry im not dalao

🥹

Im just normal d15 player

[sick mason]

Pog

[sly harness]

Maybe I should start playing

• Tianshi Bureau Squad
• 23 + ed4 debuff
• f4 Bosky skip Candles completely
• f6 Pathfinder skip completely
• force Tavern visit on f3 and f5

[sick mason]

And I got stir-fry from Wang doubt node thanks

[sly harness]

I like the right one a lot

I mean it seems very balanced

The numbers are normal

And then you get Drums or Bells

[rich thorn]

bells ass if after f6 pf

😭

[sly harness]

You can get 1 stack in the shop rob (just have Lei Fa)

[rich thorn]

and waste hope before f4 bosky skip ofk

💀

[sick mason]

What even after having 4 stacks?

[sly harness]

Before f3 Tavern

Tavern gives petal

Prereq given the natural DP -50%

[sick mason]

Would that still happen if a Ling exploit is complete and u just get all kettles 🏃

[sly harness]

Will you ling loop on d18?

The Tourist +15 Ingots strata

[sick mason]

Well just finding a Ling node is already rare as hell

[remote badger]

the 5 coins of doom and despair

[rich thorn]

6*

[sick mason]

U can toss 6 coins in dlc2 wtf

[rich thorn]

ye, tourist update

[remote badger]

peak tourist gameplay

[rich thorn]

and economy tongbao at start

[floral plaza]

40 secs cats were ass 🥹

[sly harness]

This debuff would also cook the Wang + M3 relicless

(Yes Wang + M3 S2 is the relicsless here)

[floral plaza]

Wang when his bombs have cd

[rich thorn]

tourists will get +1 extra coupon, +1 tossed tongbao on dlc2

and this as start tongbao

[sick mason]

Wang when his weiqi pieces sourced to him 💀

[rich thorn]

[sly harness]

Just get Titi the babysitter

[floral plaza]

I assume you will not be thrown out is weird way to say when tossed?

[rich thorn]

nope

dlc2 tongbaos will have new effect

[sly harness]

When swapped away

[rich thorn]

what you cant toss them

[naive nymph]

What character can beat this bs stage

[floral plaza]

Wtf thats broken

[sly harness]

Rosmontis with S3

• Kroos alter

[rich thorn]

and one of tongbaos will be permanent in box

you will add it, you cant toss it, and you cant remove it

[remote badger]

plus let the mfs destroy the top roadblocks

[sly harness]

https://youtu.be/5SGr6mkKg6Y?is=mZSDH5ylys5LdDpU

[rich thorn]

ye, this one

[errant siren]

Unfortunately it's either skip or die.

[sly harness]

Tragodia S3 (most likely needs Hand) is a good option too

[errant siren]

[rich thorn]

cant trade in plan, cant change with another one from battle

[faint rampart]

kamael dalao pls teach me how to 100relics without ed4

[rich thorn]

ask lukas about that

just, supp squad shuttle

[faint rampart]

hes 24 playr

[rich thorn]

@sly harness behold

caster cope tongbao

🥹

[floral plaza]

Totally not wang tongbao 🥹

[rich thorn]

(like wang with his -36 res ignore cares)

[remote badger]

hi

[rustic spade]

Tragodia, exu+leizi

[wind lantern]

isn't this encounter only happens when i have the knight on my side? i got this after the knight 'accidentaly' died

[proven dagger]

you can get more than 1 of these in a run??? i just exchanged one lol

[sick mason]

Ye u can

[muted tiger]

Casters are cope? ||Been using Pramalter.||

[remote badger]

yes

things that aren't pramalt

[proven dagger]

LOL

[proven dagger]

u take this back

[sick mason]

Three in a single run is nuts

[remote badger]

*casters that aren't pramalt

smile

[proven dagger]

I've had good mileage in IS6 with logos

[muted tiger]

Speaking of cope, I need to stop leading with Hoshi Alt in trying to do a clear with the tactical fortification squad at all.

[errant siren]

Yes. Ehm, funny to see that your knight dies, yet you get that.

[muted tiger]

It just fundamentally doesn't work very well.

Going into some of the earlier emergency ops.

[faint rampart]

wha

[cursive verge]

Start with rajdian

[faint rampart]

isn't hoshi2 pretty good in bosky on r ban

[paper notch]

raidian start known borken

[cursive verge]

Yeah raidian hoshi2 duo is a thing for bosky

Even without raidian she good

Cant solve everything alome ofc

[muted tiger]

But I don't wanna Raidian sometimes, it gets boring. :miahehe:

[paper notch]

raidian can solve most things solo or with a tiny bit of help currently anyway

[faint rampart]

potentially good player

[muted tiger]

Nah, I suck.

[paper notch]

ok what if i only ever raidian
