[earnest shuttle]

it just turn him into a defender at that point with slightly more dmg than a regular defender

[ashen sundial]

https://www.krooster.com/u/des any other operator worth raising for IS?

[sly harness]

Some of the f3 maps, I think e.g. Simulated Skirmish and Careless Magic

[rustic spade]

For is5 trag s3m3 monster s3m3

[ashen sundial]

I see

SA is the starter for suh2a right

[rich thorn]

trag s2m3 then s3m3, potential s1m3 too

[rustic spade]

Maybe logos s1 and s2

[rich thorn]

cuz 1 sp cut on s1m3

[sly harness]

Amiya caster S3

[ashen sundial]

also between puzzle and sneggy who’s the better copium agent

[rustic spade]

Leizi s3

[sly harness]

You are using them mainly as fast redeplyment bodies for Theresis or Amiya balls so Sneg

[ashen sundial]

aight

[rustic spade]

Humus myrrh e1 max, may sneg e2

Gummy e2

Qb e1 max to cope quilon stall

[ashen sundial]

Cant I just use Ethan

[remote badger]

u can

[sly harness]

Cope as in no vouchers for Ethan

[rustic spade]

Utage indigo e1 max

[remote badger]

qb is also an option

[rustic spade]

All of this for non lamp is5 runs

[ashen sundial]

suh2a is a lamp squad right

[rustic spade]

No idea what that means

[late island]

Biggest logos S2 Shiller ever

[remote badger]

gvg lamp

[rustic spade]

90 res goes hard

[ashen sundial]

silverash ulpianus hoe + 2 agents gvg squad

[late island]

Beehunter is goated trust

[ashen sundial]

[sly harness]

Indigo should be e2 though, with S2M3 and mod3

[ashen sundial]

I’m genuinely not built for ts brah

[rustic spade]

Oh and gravel e2 with mod

Red e1 max

[ashen sundial]

red as in

projekt red?

[rustic spade]

Ye

[sly harness]

red not needed for gvg

[ashen sundial]

I don’t have her

[rustic spade]

The stun is so good for quilon

[earnest shuttle]

just perma bind him with ethan

[rustic spade]

You stun the envy not quilon

And the chikens

[sly harness]

I think it is about the other 9k attack guys

[earnest shuttle]

envy

[rustic spade]

Gvg not needed when tree exists

Pre M3 era...

Although if you can get chalice before ed2 this draft still is fine

Eyja has some advantages especially if you are face tanking Qiu'lon map1 with Hoe

[rustic spade]

Eyja+aegis tech for the 20k hp flames

[sly harness]

Nah she will heal

[ashen sundial]

I don’t have tachanka or eyjalter

[rustic spade]

You kinda have the draft to play ingots talons, just borrow ros/wis start

Can replace ines with SA alter when u would have the hope for a 6 star vg

[gaunt bay]

do you guys draft sa2 in modern gvg

[rustic spade]

Does anyone still play gvg?

[gaunt bay]

Does anyone still play IS5

[rustic spade]

I do

[gaunt bay]

broken..

[sly harness]

It is the best high end IS available on global

[rustic spade]

Its the IS with the best squad available in global

[sly harness]

what is the best squad on CN then?

[rustic spade]

Also tree squad

[sly harness]

[rustic spade]

Gotta lure more ppl into it

[muted tiger]

I really like the Pramanix Sash Alter synergy now that my Sash Alter is actually E2.

[rustic spade]

Its a fun and strong pair

[zinc compass]

Is is5 the easiest is?

[sly harness]

Easiest to cheese

[rustic spade]

What do you mean with easy

[zinc compass]

Compared to the other IS

[sly harness]

Depends on what difficulty level and with which endings in mind

[rustic spade]

Easy to learn, to farm the rewards, to play at max dif, while forcing any specific ending

[zinc compass]

Hmm i see

[sly harness]

High end IS5 is the hardest most likely

[zinc compass]

Is it the best one to start out with?

[rustic spade]

IS themes introduce progressively more complex mechanics as they evolve so is2 is the most "simple" to get the hang of it

[muted tiger]

Honestly, part of me finds doing a lot of IS2 nodes a bit boring. :miahehe:

[rustic spade]

Also something you might eventually notice is that some of the difficulty shifts from inside of stage difficulty to pathing/economy decissions that impact your run, in is6 for example you have to scale (at least when dlc2 comes out) and you require to understand how to abuse economy squads/mechanics within the theme

On is5 there is a bit of this about knowing what kind of relics are in the pools of thoughts you combine

[zinc compass]

Dont people just take lamp and win?

[remote badger]

not all take lamp

[sly harness]

IS6 dlc2 pushes this concept to some extreme where most of the focus will put on scaling and boss fight. If you are struggling en route it means that you are playing suboptimally and you would die in boss stages anyway

[rustic spade]

Is5 has a lot of viable strats distributed across different squads, some take lamp but others work without it

[remote badger]

big example of ingots talon

[zinc compass]

I see

[remote badger]

great for farming points

[sly harness]

In single ending runs yes. But if you want to challenge yourself and combine a few endings (mainly include ed4) you need to optimize your gameplay

[zinc compass]

Is that required for an achievement or somethings? Combining endings I mean

[rustic spade]

Its just for fun

[zinc compass]

Fair

I'll probably do IS a bit in the future when I get more ops

[heavy pumice]

didnt give that (achievement)
is simply for fun

[rustic spade]

Eventually after clearing one ending it becomes kinda repetitive/easy so you start increasing the difficulty (even after d18) and thats when you start forcing multiple endings in the same run

[zinc compass]

Yeah fair

When I start doing IS5, I guess I'll do it normally until d18, then do lamp to reap rewards

[heavy pumice]

yeah, sadly the bad part in IS is roster demanding

have small roster will make IS less interesting (either too hard or too repetitive)

[zinc compass]

Endgame content after all

[late island]

You would think lamp players would find it repetitive/easy

[muted tiger]

You can really tell there's that degree of intelligent design into the skills given how Sash S3 and Pram S2 timings are practically perfectly aligned.

[late island]

But there's plenty of lamp squad 1 tricks🫃

[rustic spade]

They will never experience what peak is5 is

Skip f3 lnf into doodle f4, 10 refreshes into petal the node before face off

[rich thorn]

• 10 refreshes
  damn, rich on plans boy

[rustic spade]

Lamp squads would never get triple epochal gaps

[rich thorn]

best what I saw was double EM ver

because fucking lamp ignored its purpose

of rerolling into wish node

[late island]

Classic lamp l

Imagine you could play LONGER runs of peak is gameplay

4 hour long runs >> 1 hour lamp

[muted tiger]

Ah. So what I'm actually supposed to do is press skills when his shield is actually down so I can actually do damage.

[sly harness]

No you need to break the shield

It won't go down if you don't break it

[muted tiger]

Icic.

[muted tiger]

Next time, I've got to place my left side DPS a good chunk more aggressively to actually hit the boss.

The AoEs are definitely a bit annoying.

[rich thorn]

they giga annoying on d15

[muted tiger]

🤔 I could just spam ending 1 over and over again so I can actually access the higher difficulties...

[rich thorn]

what a times, nightingale s3 to survive his atks

[sly harness]

Rose Salt trust

[rich thorn]

nah, that was after

[muted tiger]

Aaannnddd I died at Kaz Falls.

Alright, let's try this again.

[sly harness]

The stage solvable by Amiya + Gummy

[cursive verge]

Indeed I should stpp slacling off om e1-ing gummy and cuora

[sly harness]

e2-ing you mean?

[west quarry]

hello my name is vivziepop and my boss design is d15 big sad fuck

[sly harness]

[west quarry]

genuinely does hg playtest these things

[cursive verge]

Maybe not e2 just yet too much backlog

[west quarry]

theyre 4 stars

bro

[cursive verge]

My 6 stars come first

More stars = more priority

[sly harness]

It is not that bad

The relicless solutions aren't anything insane

[west quarry]

im not saying its insanely hard im saying its trash design

was always bad, but d15 exarcerbated it

[sly harness]

The design is the same as d0 Big Sad Lock but more stats

[cursive verge]

Say does chetto team use hoe

I see the vision but uhhh

[west quarry]

true i shouldve just said bsl

without the d15 part

[sly harness]

And I don't remember the old Big Sad Lock, I mean it was problematic but back then I was a bad player

[west quarry]

the boss can be easy or hard

but it could still be badly designed

[cursive verge]

There were changes?

[sly harness]

New units mostly

And my personal roster

[faint rampart]

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

[sly harness]

In the times of IS2 my account was like half a year or year old

[west quarry]

wtf

Old

[sly harness]

Chen2 banner old

[west quarry]

Dinosaur

[cursive verge]

Hi fellow dinosaur

I too was noob back then

[faint rampart]

chen face controversy

[sly harness]

Idk

[cursive verge]

Chen2 herself was controversial

[sly harness]

I only remember that summer skin as a base outfit was controversial

Or something like this

[west quarry]

y

[west quarry]

cause it was ugly as heel?

[sly harness]

ig

The first skin is very nice though

[west quarry]

i guess they just gave her another summer skin

[cursive verge]

Lazy alter allegations
Face thing too yeah

[sly harness]

I need an IS module for her

[west quarry]

what about the face

[cursive verge]

It used to look as if it was blaze alter and not chen alter

Blaze alter foreshadpw damn

[sly harness]

(idk, not related, but funny)

[cursive verge]

Chen fanbase is crazy in china ig

[west quarry]

gacha gamers really just say shit

[cursive verge]

Speaking of gacha games

Nvm eternal return is moba iirc

Anyways uh yeah controvery

[sly harness]

Iirc Korea likes Siege a lot

[west quarry]

rainbow six siege..?

[sly harness]

And there was some controversy with her alter

[cursive verge]

[west quarry]

what

[cursive verge]

Vg siege

[faint rampart]

[west quarry]

oh that one

[sly harness]

The True damage guard too

[cursive verge]

Very forgettable 6 star :ya:

[sly harness]

My first 6* vanguard iirc

[cursive verge]

Mine too

Good old days of not using broken 6 stars

[west quarry]

i mean vina looks cool atleast

[cursive verge]

Her skin is good too

[west quarry]

isnt it ai generated or something

[cursive verge]

Is it

I can only catch sloppy ai generations with my eyes

[west quarry]

wait no that was another skin

[sly harness]

I got him from the Leizi banner now he is M6. Although only mod1

Also kinda funny that they are now together on the banner

[west quarry]

you didnt want to cert him..?

[cursive verge]

Tbf I also thoufht about pulling

I have 160 pulls

[west quarry]

yeah but like

pulls for hoe?

[cursive verge]

Then I remembered I need to save for trag too since orienteering didnt give me trag

Leizi2 asw

Ik she isnt used past dlc2

[sly harness]

I did, but I got him on the original Leizi banner

The pre IS6 release one

[cursive verge]

[west quarry]

Ah

you didnt mean this standard banner

[sly harness]

It took me like 6 months to finish his masteries

Being poor...

[cursive verge]

Right I need to m9 hoe and weedy too

[sly harness]

Skip Hoe S3

General content skill

[cursive verge]

I am m3ing for gen content

Admitted I dont need anything more for gej content

But why not

[west quarry]

exactly

[sly harness]

Because it is expensive

Your Gummy and Cuora aren't e2 yet

[cursive verge]

Ph dw it will be aftee they are e2-ed

[sly harness]

[cursive verge]

Hoe s3m3 within 2026 trust

[sly harness]

So I have all my not finished operators marked with the in-game "favourite" thing and...

This doesn't include max levels because those I do whenever I feel like it

[cunning karma]

I got leizi hoe ente all in Saki banner

[earnest shuttle]

kinda want to cert hoe rn but shop might have someone else better

[rich thorn]

ez skip if not is5 lamp enjoyer

[earnest shuttle]

fair enough, I have ulpi anyway

this game is evil tho, im lacking like 20 guard chips of all kind and rn theres a rerun

[rich thorn]

just buy em

2$

[crystal niche]

[fallen jungle]

Should I bother with this Hui and Ming mechanic? Or I can ignore it and place onn vanilla tiles and just brute force it?

[earnest shuttle]

you can ignore it

[fallen jungle]

Okay!

[earnest shuttle]

although the right side might be useful since there are enemies that cannot be blocked unless the op have same hui/ming

[rich thorn]

• using event mechanic to block event enemies
• pseudomut jumpscare

[cursive verge]

I have a feeling this one has neither

And only those sage like guys who spawn talismans

Not to be confjsed with the talisman spawners with chatges

[ashen sundial]

Does ulpi really need mod3 for IS5 gvg?

the extra healing doesn’t seem like much

5% extra sanc on hoe doesn’t seem like much either

[cursive verge]

Just do it for hoe

Bro will be tanking quilon

[ashen sundial]

[remote badger]

it doesn't seems much on low aspd

[cursive verge]

More raised the begter

[remote badger]

but its definitely is when high aspd

[ashen sundial]

Are ulpi and hoe used in other IS as well or are they is5 drones

[remote badger]

is5

[cursive verge]

Is5 only

[ashen sundial]

[cursive verge]

Ulpi isnt even compleye is5 hes only for is5 gvh

[remote badger]

imagine in is4 💀

[cursive verge]

And is replaceable by sakiko afaik

[remote badger]

he gets shafted by hammers

[ashen sundial]

I asked someone else here they said sakiko was a possible replacement for sa but not for ulp

[cursive verge]

Fib said she can replace both

[ashen sundial]

https://www.krooster.com/u/des yall think I should go talons ingot squad or gvg suh2a for IS5

just imagine that i have hoe, I only need 3 more certs for him

[remote badger]

so the angle is um

[ashen sundial]

I see

[remote badger]

ingots talons

[ashen sundial]

What’s the talons core

[faint rampart]

does that guy still play IS5

[cursive verge]

I think so, atleast back when I asked

[remote badger]

talons is raw EMs

no wish

[cursive verge]

"What doesnt kill me, makes me stronger"

[ashen sundial]

so basically

high risk high reward

[remote badger]

be bloodthirsty

[ashen sundial]

gulp

[remote badger]

get more em

[ashen sundial]

Who are core drafts for talons

[remote badger]

visit shop for power

[cursive verge]

Be those boys from blue lock

[remote badger]

talons are not limited to any relics

as they wont guarantee anything

[ashen sundial]

Is the talons team just “draft strong ops”

[remote badger]

maybe

[late island]

From your roster u can go borrow ros and draft logos m3 + trag/lib/stuff

Or u can borrow exu go trag +m3 + stuff

Or u can go amiya start into trag/logos +stuff

Or u can go trag and go like lib +cheeto +m3

[smoky gazelle]

does wis s2 work with woodblock in IS?

[ashen sundial]

I see

[remote badger]

which was that again

[woeful scaffold]

Is there any prizes for winning the tourney

[remote badger]

monthly card

or like 2(?)

its held solely by isc so expect funding issues

[sly harness]

[brazen bane]

Reliable as Cannot investment

[remote badger]

cannot ate most of the fundings

[rich thorn]

ulpi could be used, but need sweet sp relics

for s3 spam

[faint rampart]

Uhhh

[rich thorn]

dalao discord channel role

[faint rampart]

you potentially prolly get to be in a stream with top IS playrs(like alyssal, bait) and get to yap shit on how to highroll dlc1

[sly harness]

[slate hull]

what is this, the high roller lounge?

[rich thorn]

always have been

[sly harness]

dlc2 waiting room

[ashen sundial]

Dlc2 should be next month right

[sick mason]

Next month or July

Depending on YoStar fucked up the schedule or not

[craggy shadow]

is8 waiting room

[lament thorn]

Are there any preferred drafts for is5ed4?

[remote badger]

your usual go-to is um flingers

the most basic one

[lament thorn]

so wis and ros

is that realistically all i need to aim for?

[remote badger]

wis ros greyyalt ethan surfer/canta

and um

m3( if possible) on e2
silence and purestream

remember do not stab the boats

heal the petals

aaaand ofc hoe if u have

ethan s2m3 mod3

greyyalt s1 and mod3

[lament thorn]

alright

[remote badger]

wis ofc mod3 and s2m3

ros well s2m3

and her IS mod

also bring gravel for baiting envies

redeploy your medic every time the boat passes the 4 ranged titles
boat 1 med at the third boat

and wis and m3() and an agent

not sure which diff ur doing but

ensure u can rob cannot

and ensure u dont get too much ingots pre-petal cus petal just deletes them after u get

have at least 38 ingots after petal so u can rob cannot perfectly u will have 150 ingots which basically enough for chalice and toy

[lament thorn]

around d15 rn, still a 6 month old acc

[remote badger]

manage your lamp well
only get what u need

[lament thorn]

i only have ros as my only flinger

[gaunt bay]

Meow

[remote badger]

dont overwish

[gaunt bay]

Meow for me

[remote badger]

meow

[gaunt bay]

How are you

[remote badger]

@lament thorn do more combats
remember f5 faceoff with at least 2 plans

[remote badger]

the model i trained was so wrong

the answers

[sly harness]

1 Plan

You get 1 from the skill tree when you enter Face-Off

[remote badger]

smile

[rich thorn]

officially we are waiting is6 btw

[static dragon]

HG retconned IS numbering

just because

[rich thorn]

they cant even count properly

[static dragon]

they usually start counting from 0

[rich thorn]

but izumik even at game screen shows theme 3

[static dragon]

CC0, arc 0, chapter 0

[rich thorn]

but in same time sui says theme 5

🥹

[static dragon]

even ceobe's fungimist has number 1

[rich thorn]

and next is teased with number 6

[static dragon]

[rich thorn]

like wtf

they just hate joklumarkar theme

and pretending what its not exists

[static dragon]

im still convinced that waai fu skills icon are mixed up with each other

[sly harness]

I like this idea

[gaunt bay]

Why would they hate peak…

[rich thorn]

because its peak

and they never cook something like that

[sly harness]

The only peak in IS4 can be the mountain from ed1 and iirc it was just an illusion

[rich thorn]

is3 sucks, they forced to make d18 with evolution

to make it suck less

[sly harness]

(idk I don't read the IS story)

[gaunt bay]

Ur slop

[rich thorn]

slop

[gaunt bay]

They peaked at is4

[rich thorn]

man literally forgot about ed4

with duel

[gaunt bay]

Arknights peaked at is4

😔

[rich thorn]

foldatars are peak mechanic

[tacit garnet]

first time doing is5. whats this?

[rich thorn]

@gaunt bay and after is4 they literally throwed away idea of punishing players for leaking

[gaunt bay]

Ya

Maybe hg is slop

[rich thorn]

so less reasons to be a good player

[gaunt bay]

They stopped making good stage design too

🥀

[rich thorn]

so they literally copied some in is6

🤣

[primal geyser]

Getting here is harder than the actual boss bruh

[rich thorn]

oh yes, excuse me

mount and sea exists

prob 1 man who is not washed in hg

100% same what made heretics and heavenly paradise

is3 mentioned

🥀

[sly harness]

Like the IS5 maps are the hitcount spam but they are not that mechanically interesting

[remote badger]

before nerf

[rich thorn]

surely ooc so interesting

[remote badger]

after nerf its less scary

[rich thorn]

with posessed throwers

[sly harness]

The Weedy + Angelina bottom lane stall is interesting

[rich thorn]

2.6 tiles range? more like 3.6 tiles

[sly harness]

(btw relicless Beyond Mount and Sea is also solved with this stall)

[gaunt bay]

Yup hitcount spam bad

[earnest shuttle]

ed2 boss

[gaunt bay]

Just like is6

[rich thorn]

dw

next is will have them too

[earnest shuttle]

elusive merc in is7 for sure

[tacit garnet]

is it as difficult as the foot from is6? or even harder

[earnest shuttle]

Its easier imo but u have to know the boss mechanic

[tacit garnet]

i watched a yt video just now

[paper notch]

it's very different

[tacit garnet]

but isnt the slashes very op from theresis

[paper notch]

no

it's the least of your issues

it's only on phase 1

and all you gotta do is kill the clones and then kill theresis

there's also a bunch of safe tiles

[tacit garnet]

am i cooked

[paper notch]

bro

[earnest shuttle]

quite cooked

[paper notch]

aint no way

[earnest shuttle]

u should stick to ed1
not sure if u can beat ed1 with this team tho

[tacit garnet]

but i have all kings relics whatsver they do. apparently they are op

[paper notch]

floor 5 looking like a squad half way through f2

[earnest shuttle]

oh then it should be easy

u have aspd relic as well

[sly harness]

p2 DPS check still will be ass

90% DR

[paper notch]

d1

[earnest shuttle]

relicless clear

[paper notch]

he should be fine

surely

[sly harness]

90% DR so idk 2m effective HP or something

[paper notch]

[sly harness]

Okay should be 1m

[paper notch]

ye

maybe fine i think

[tacit garnet]

i failed, guess i try again 🥀 was a 15min run anyway

[sly harness]

Draft some True damage to make the second phase much easier

There are multiple ways to suicide, but I honestly didn't know that Sash S3 prevented him from hitting things he's blocking if they're not actually in his range.

[desert brook]

yeah

[muted tiger]

I'm just going to watch a video guide on kaz falls or something, because I frankly do not know the proper sequence for it.

[remote badger]

check bait's

[desert brook]

kaz falls is laneholder check i think

cuz 90% of the enemies just walk off the map

yo Who is xia

[proven dagger]

its kinda crazy how SA was the best op once, fell off, then made a resurgence

[desert brook]

yeah IS is so cool i love seeing the old ops become relevant again due to relics or IS modules

ed4 is2 feels easier than ed2

literally could just spawn camp then handle whatever left

[odd rose]

can't be easier if it doesn't exist

7 runs

not even 1 ed4

[earnest shuttle]

U can still get ed4 relic on f5 so its not too hard to get

[odd rose]

[odd rose]

it's not real

it doesn't exist

[earnest shuttle]

I did that once

[odd rose]

i've been going all the time

through every single encounter i could find

i barely gety the 1st one

ed4 isn't real

[earnest shuttle]

luck issue I guess

[odd rose]

dogshit mode

[earnest shuttle]

still more balanced than is3

[odd rose]

balanced idk

but seriously

why is ed4 so fucking hard to get

[muted tiger]

Is a 2 3 run harder or a 2 4 run?

IS6 I mean.

[nocturne cape]

Imo 23

[crystal niche]

23 def

[sly harness]

You won't break the game in 23 run that easily

ed2 with ed3 debuffs seems really scary, I never even attempted it because of that

Place Ente one tile down and Gummy will get it

[muted skiff]

bruhhh

[slate hull]

vision mechanics are wild, I didn't think they affected stuff that has infinite range

but I guess Ente doesn't even know Gummy is there

No

Save it for f4 (get more units and collectibles) and get Megamus before clearing it

[muted skiff]

ok but you see

theres a device there

it blocks the route

[sly harness]

Bear can break it

[muted skiff]

srsly ? the black dragon summon device ?

[sly harness]

More seriously unit with good hitcount, Angelina, Wis, Ascalon, Ente

One of them is enough

If you have damage to kill the bear while he breaks at most 2 stones

[proven dagger]

weird, I'm running greyy and I keep seeing every kings first

[arctic panther]

if you kill cannot too fast he doesnt get to spawn chests and you lose out on ingots

aint no way

how

i've gotten it by mistake many times and declined the last relic how are you actively going for it and not getting it

[floral plaza]

yo those fishes need to worry now

[gentle grove]

How do you get out of nothingness is6?

[arctic panther]

get the 5 lp cost collectible from ji's shop in bosky(sui's remnant conciousness), send only one person into the scroll in a scout node, you'd ideally want it to be fodder, and then clear f5, go into the bosky there, and send everyone you want to use in ed4 into the scroll inside the doubt nodes there

[faint rampart]

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

[gentle grove]

Damn lol, is it really tough?

[floral plaza]

the pathing sound scary

but once you do it you will realize its easy

espically when you get to f6 and go to extra wonderland

[gentle grove]

I have a 50/50 win rate on ed1 with supporter tragodia

[paper notch]

[floral plaza]

yi is unironically the hardest part of ed4 in normal run

[gentle grove]

Maybe when I get Wang ill have easy mode

Can ed1 boss be stunlocked by crownslayer?

[paper notch]

immune to stun iirc

[gentle grove]

Aww

[paper notch]

feels like something i would've tried by now

ed3 and ed4 (small dude) arent tho

[floral plaza]

ed 4 have 80% stun redection

bind tho fuck him up badly

[paper notch]

im still not sure how my CS perma stunned him that one run

prolly stun duration relics

[floral plaza]

you had a gummy blocking him :clueless:

[arctic panther]

the ending itself is 👶

[gentle grove]

Sorry what's does that mean

[arctic panther]

free

basically

just a victory lap

[floral plaza]

the boss fight is baby mode

[gentle grove]

Ahh k

[floral plaza]

you get full wonderland before the fight

[gentle grove]

I saw it and the giant boar looks insane

[floral plaza]

so you get like 20+ relics from wonderland and shop between yi and ed4

[arctic panther]

the REAL challenge comes from beyond mount and sea (if you get unlucky and get it) and the f5 boss alters

[floral plaza]

the giant boar is the easier part of it

he is like hp sponge

thats it

[arctic panther]

literally just a glorified blue box

[floral plaza]

even max D attack cant fucking kill a ranged unit

the little shit is the main boss you play around

[gentle grove]

Which module os better her ed 4 module or the other one?

[floral plaza]

the ed3 one for radian

ed4 one is only useful for few maps

namely hit count maps

[arctic panther]

and even then you're most likely not even gonna use it for those maps

[floral plaza]

i play as your heart desire so my drafts can be awkward so i use it sometimes

[dusty kayak]

Does ulpi usually go s3 for is?

I mostly got him for salter shenanigans

she just stands there and prays, f-tier operator

[floral plaza]

alright time to do all eds d18 :ya:

[dusty kayak]

Im struggling with the left side is6 ending 2

Can i just plop down ethan and pramalter

I went in blind

[floral plaza]

the general tactic in high d is having 18 hp and leak it fully

tho low d hit count should be fine i think, just make sure you have enough for spear guy or you will increase the leaks

also be aware of boss abilies

[dusty kayak]

Lmao srsly

[faint rampart]

angelina

then leizi2

[dusty kayak]

Just got leizi

Alter*

Is she great for is?

[floral plaza]

she kinda great anywhere

[faint rampart]

for is6 rn yeah

[dusty kayak]

I already have a fairly stacked roster. Im currently just building is units rn

[muted tiger]

Relative to her peer, Mylnar, she's more useful at E1 because she actually has skills that do different things.

[faint rampart]

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

[floral plaza]

mlynar skills do different things!!

shit things but different

[muted tiger]

She's also a safer early E2 lead if you don't mind pressing the S1 button a bunch of times.

Carpal tunnel ftw!

Carpal tunnel op trust me

[viral quail]

lowkey crazy how Degen having auto recovery S3 kinda fucks her in IS

[odd rose]

failed to ed4 again

10th time

you can't campt something that doesn't exist

double non-rate up encounters

they are rate up

[flint token]

then why am i not seeing them!

[odd rose]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-goldenglow-cat-dog-toot-gif-27231721

[odd rose]

because rate up is a lie

[flint token]

wouldnt it be funny

If they rate up the first encounter

but forgot about the second one

[floral plaza]

i get it in first try you guys have skill issue smh my head

[faint rampart]

tru

[desert brook]

i just take it whenever i get it

which was like

twice in 30 runs lmao

[grizzled nexus]

Damn, Emergency Hook, Line, and Sinker with Shen-Chu Hour Debuff make the pseudomut absolutely tanky

[ashen sundial]

Does suzuran have any usage in IS or nah

[sick mason]

Angelina better due to having IS mod

Most supporters kinda suck in IS tbh

[arctic panther]

raidian.

[sly harness]

Completely replaced by Ela (who not only applies comparable Fragile but also has great damage and many other utilities and advantages), if you don't have Ela you can cope with her in some places like Sentinel or maybe even Izumik

[ashen sundial]

I see

[arctic panther]

just ela start

[gaunt bay]

Idt ive ever seen suzu in sent bruh

Shes usable in izumik afaik

[sly harness]

Most likely because Ela was released like a month after IS4 dlc2

[rough thorn]

raidian , tragodia

ange, pram1, gnosis, haruka

[sly harness]

In IS6, the butterfly is not guaranteed in legend node?

[remote badger]

ed2 is guaranteed

its a decision node now

just the issue where is it on map

[sly harness]

It is in the 5x5 grid

excluding the 4 nodes connected to the middle only 20 possible locations

[winged kelp]

How do you reach ed4 is6 again? Forgor

Legend then pathfinder?

[sick mason]

Shop in wonderland

Buy the item for 5 LP and then go to scout node and send one ops (choose third option)

[sly harness]

Trade then Scout

[sick mason]

And boom you unlock ed4

Much easier requirement than ed3 it is

[winged kelp]

And how do you get hardest version of Ed5?

Go through ed2 > Ed4 > Ed5?

[sick mason]

Dunno watch CN I guess

[winged kelp]

Or was it ed2>ed3?

[sick mason]

Also ed4 is easier than ed3

And ed5 has like so many variants of difficulties

Like IS5 ed5

[sly harness]

You need to get 2 special collectibles (both are big debuffs)

• one from Tavern in Bosky after clearing ed5 prereq stage
• second from pathfinder

[sick mason]

Casually turning candleguests into nothing for 9 tickets

Wtf

[sly harness]

Nah it is only -60% to your +400% (you should have anyway because without it you would die anyways)

[winged kelp]

So no related to which boss you fight earlier of the run?

[sick mason]

-60% what

[sly harness]

There may be something about it too but for the hardest you need those two collectibles

[sick mason]

I mean its kinda similar to if u wanna do triple ending like 135 145 235 or 245 in IS5

Or just don't do ed3 or ed4 at all and go straight to ed5

[sly harness]

The same as in IS5 but here ed4 is the fraud

[sick mason]

IS5 ed5 hardest variant: upgrading the egg twice in false or truth node
IS6 ed5 hardest variant: get 2 debuff relics

[solar tree]

hi how do I not explode here?

[sly harness]

IS5 average collectibles count ~50-80, IS6 like double that

[sick mason]

You have a frickin Exu2

Don't ask that

[crystal niche]

how DO you explode there?

[solar tree]

dude idk I haven't ever played this stage yet

[sick mason]

You'll be fine

You'll be fighting walmart Kevin

[crystal niche]

just make sure exu2 skill is on when the boss is there

[sick mason]

Or lure with Trag

[errant siren]

ExuAlt looking bottom at right side of the map with any melee.

Kross and Trag to kill drones at middle and coming from left.

[sick mason]

Looks like we gonna have to highroll with Tianshi Bureau after dlc2

To combat evil Chongyue

[crystal niche]

[sick mason]

But wait, finishing doubts grants 2 rare relics...

Are those relics obtainable only in middle and bottom option (since normally they gave 1 relic)? What about the top option that usually granted 2 relics?

Will we get 3 instead?

[sly harness]

Finishing as in clearing all doubts in Bosky

[sick mason]

All of them? Holy

[sly harness]

Yep but finishing each type of node will give something

[sick mason]

Would the rule for Tianshi bureau dlc2 also apply to ed4 wonderland/bosky?

Despite there's no retrieve nodes in there

[sly harness]

idk

[pliant stump]

ahh i see... Thank you for the updated info!

[solar tree]

what starting squad do you use for IS-3?

[sly harness]

Exu alter on speccast or People-Oriented

[marsh chasm]

Any tips for getting IS6 ED4 and during the boss stage?

[winged kelp]

How hard is this

[crystal niche]

depends on ur ops

but it shouldn't be that hard

just be careful of feranmuts

[winged kelp]

What enemy set

[sly harness]

The normal one is easy, slow and boring

[pliant stump]

Yo.. i reduced the sui foot to 50% in shifei border... But i didn't drop the Ending 2 collectible... I did smtg wrong?

[winged kelp]

What enemies actually. And how do I know this is normal one

[sly harness]

Either it was still slightly above 50% or it went below 50% when stage ended so it will just die in the next combat

[sly harness]

For EM you need to kill more than 5 animals in the run, enemies from this IS theme mainly (no hit count)

[solar tree]

hi mid option is ed4 and top is ed3 right?

[pliant stump]

Gg.. i just realised sui foot HP is just slightly above 50% when doing ED1....

I need to check the collectible first before entering Prophecy node lol

That foot nearly ruin my setup in ED 1 as well...

Does anyone know about tongbao pool and can explain?. I just spend 36 LP in plan but can't find Scout tongbao. And what I got all bad. And the pool here I think it is different than the one in F6 ed4 bosky

The coins in the "Rare Tongabaos" category can give you the scout coin

Yea gotta use blocker next to red crystal thing if needed

Or use your op to kill whatever walk there

I usually lack early DP in this stage too

so they will slow down to hit your units and then you will be able to kill them

Your squad looks fine just cycle the skills properly
