Finally. I have experienced all variations of Sui's Shadow Squad...

Beside the Discount Class Squad Variations though.

[ember hemlock]

when doing rosmimi snipermed in is5 is it higher priority to e2 krooster/greyyalt or should I recruit wis as well

[errant siren]

Wis.

<picks Wisadel anyway>

[errant siren]

So cute

[white iris]

I'm losing it guys how can i defeat a doll cat in final stage of IS 2. I'm always losing there even if i have a lot of healer and i can sustain the waves, it's always the boss. That activte the skill then i immediately lose.

[wet zealot]

You have to chip at him for the whole stage, without hitting him too much

[floral plaza]

big sad? if you dont kill him in like 8 minutes he (leak) and eat 30 hp

so you need a consistence way to dps him

[arctic panther]

this goes for all stationary bosses(time limit and hp loss differ)

[floral plaza]

big sad is generally the one who end up triggering it more often

[earnest shuttle]

Man, no talon when the shop have arch glyph

[floral plaza]

since his kit is all about being alive

[flint token]

that fuckass bear i hate

[errant siren]

I cannot get it which boss does kill you.

Because too much controversy.

[flint token]

1 million ehp bear in is2

ggwp

sentinel tier boss

sentinel might actually be easier

[errant siren]

You the left one or right one?

[short anchor]

They were there when the stage started, then stuff happened

[gaunt bay]

sentinel aint allat in 2026 😔

idt bsl is necessarily easier though

[sly harness]

Sentinel bursts with 2026 ops (especially Exu2) are not heard, the lane holding after that can be slightly annoying

Lane holding in BSL isn't actually that big of an issue (if you have Mizuki for the left lane) so you can mainly focus on the boss (just draft Nara )

[grizzled nexus]

Damn, quite annoying to reach the last one

[sly harness]

ed4 Bosky are like that although you are missing shop, plan and one legend when it comes to relevant stuff

[crystal niche]

ed4 bosky is only tavern,doubt, and turmoil right

[sly harness]

• 12 doubts
• 7 turmoils
• 2 legends
• 1 tavern
• 1 shop
• 1 plan

[flint token]

bsl lowk harder

[gaunt bay]

nah idk man

[flint token]

because if you lowroll survivability you just die

[gaunt bay]

okay but you dont need to focus on anything else when playing is2

youre just building bsl comp basically

[flint token]

true

[sly harness]

Narantuya, Shu, Swire, Angelina and Mizuki is the relicless

[gaunt bay]

did they get sent to 5 op or is it still 6

[sly harness]

【【哨兵攻略组】N15无藏哨兵五人】 https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1jsREBnESc/?share_source=copy_web

[flint token]

huh im assuming naran is on fodder duty and swire took care of bsl?

[sly harness]

Wang

[sly harness]

Attack steal is kinda big because it works before the multipliers

[flint token]

Hoh

so naran multitask as mini shamare

[gaunt bay]

Pretty surprised that naran isnt more prevalent in relicless for that

[crystal niche]

the new relicless huh

[sly harness]

If base attack is already high it most likely won't by that significant

Base BSL has 800 ATK, maxed Nara steals 320

[crystal niche]

wang freeze comp and phantom

[inland elbow]

Best to just not take damage in the first place

Bsl it's unavoidable so you're forced to commit 2 slots at least to medic+debuffer

[crystal niche]

is this sentinel alter?

[inland elbow]

But 2 slots is a ton so you can almost always just use a comp which doesn't take damage

Bro that cresson clear is unbelievable amounts of slop

[sly harness]

Sentinel is the alter Gardener

[inland elbow]

I think bilibili agrees

It got no views compared to the 6 op

[crystal niche]

a whole field of wang balls did 20% health

[gaunt bay]

drastically different approach to sent than the 6 op though

record used to be like

wis exu lemuen skalter

how strong a combo is sa2 phantom btw

[woeful knot]

relicless type comp

[gaunt bay]

okay but how playable would phantom be with that

cuz like it solves his survivability issue kinda no?

[woeful knot]

idk its phantom he sucks

[flint token]

kinda, not really

it helps if you use phantom as purely frd and not bother with his goofy ass s2 stacking gimmick

also he eats more dp than yato so

[remote badger]

meow

[fluid vector]

chat can you guess which operator did this damage

[remote badger]

bubble

[gaunt bay]

me

i did that

[flint token]

still no idea how the fuck that guy stacked bubble def that high

[errant siren]

Lego.

[gaunt bay]

its so funny to think the a god step on a kit and just died

[crystal niche]

15k def

then an arts dealer come in

[brittle grove]

Her skill still say whatever to arts with those stacks

[flint token]

art dealer vs 1000000 reflect dmg

(Also her talent reduce all type of damage too so)

[night mauve]

Any cheap tricks to get raidian to e2?

[errant siren]

Umm, farm End1.

[faint rampart]

💰

[crystal niche]

play is6

[solar tree]

you could also just like not raise them btw

aside from IS-6 itself they aren't rly used for much

[slate hull]

raising raidian is like a checklist of stuff to do so you don't get bored going through lower difficulties

but yeah, aside from the challenges, you just go and play the mode a bunch

[sick mason]

And trudge through D8 above for her module 1

[sick mason]

I didn't know Raidian is like 2 people in one body

[solar tree]

they/them (singular)

[sick mason]

Maybe if Raidian is genderless or unknown gender then sure

[sly harness]

She is an entire army in one body

[sick mason]

Wouldn't that qualify for Ling as well

Bye bye GG

[slate hull]

maybe you get upgraded to they/them if you have 4 arms, that is at least like 1.4 people

[sick mason]

SA2 still yet to push through

[solar tree]

myrtle over surfer is interesting

[sick mason]

Most people would assume since Myrtle is 4* so 0 hope anyway

[faint rampart]

ugh theres pr*m🤢 but no hool

[sick mason]

Which IS module y'all think is most useless?

[earnest shuttle]

is it not ho'ol anymore ?

[sick mason]

Her IS module forced your ass to leak at least 1 enemy and then make everyone airborne so I guess it isn't that useless despite not game changing either

[hallow vale]

I thought dusk got the worst is mod

[gaunt bay]

Pram slander

Krill him

[gaunt bay]

She did

[sick mason]

I wonder what was the purpose of that Dusk IS mod? To work with Rosmontis?

[faint rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/bad-boy-gif-10556480101759459189

[sly harness]

People still live in like 2023 and think that Myrtle is somewhat exceptionally good

Since 4* because free Beanstalk was a better option

[sick mason]

Most of these people are probably just D0-D2 users

[brazen bane]

More like they have no vanguard other than Myrtle

The length people would go to to not play the game is astounding

[gaunt bay]

Bro posted a speech bubble gif

Pack it up lil bro

[slate hull]

myrtle fits into the put down and press button archetype, I am not surprised she is still popular

imagine having to place somebody down next to an enemy and having to generate dp with hits, that is too complicated

[faint rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/miss-christine-cat-mogging-meme-arknights-gif-3863142298477191408

maybe someone is coping ed3 heals with her s2

[white iris]

I have the left one, it's so tough, because of the shield i use Wis and still lose to it

[errant siren]

Ah, this dude dodges if unblocked.

He just cancels Wis damage.

[crystal niche]

[errant siren]

[crystal niche]

not me using stun for dmg

[errant siren]

If you want to kill him afar with 100% reliability, you need to use Lemuen.

[crystal niche]

[errant siren]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-lemuen-lemuen-arknights-gif-9545370930458552863

S2 is dodge ignore.

100% hitrate.

No matter he's blocked or not.

[crystal niche]

https://giphy.com/gifs/arknights-exusiai-lemuen-KLhhOM7GWpuP7lJKiJ

[white iris]

Even with the shield lemuen can kill? Which skill though?

[errant siren]

What kind of "shield" are you talking about? He has none.

Once again, S2

[rich thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/lemuen-arknights-exusiai-gif-938782285781705383

[white iris]

Because I can't damage the doll even with big damage Wis, when the starting stage he doesn't have one so i can deal damage but then when there's a barrier i couldn't deal any damage.

[crystal niche]

think he talkin bout ed2

[errant siren]

Like hell, how this boss can be hard, if I could do that:

[rich thorn]

ed2 shield bear, ed1 dodge fraudphantom

[white iris]

I already defeat that one

[errant siren]

?????????

[rich thorn]

also, can use true dmg or ele burts

[errant siren]

So the RIGHT one?!

[crystal niche]

[white iris]

Yes-

I'm sorry-

[errant siren]

omg

[white iris]

I'm stupid

[errant siren]

Alright

Then forget about

Actually

Not forget she's good DPS

Use S3 instead

Do NOT Wis the bear.

Because he will just Uno-Fart into you.

[white iris]

So skill 3 lemuen ?

[crystal niche]

[rich thorn]

for bear you either fast nuke, or take nightingale / rose salt

[errant siren]

And any fast damager is also not good

[crystal niche]

no exualt

[white iris]

I agree... I endure it for a long time but still one flash and I'm dead

[rich thorn]

exu2 could work btw

on s2

[errant siren]

It should be strong hitter with not fast attacks. Or at least you can compensate that through medics.

[rich thorn]

[crystal niche]

[rich thorn]

cuz shrimple shield

[errant siren]

And obviously kill him ASAP.

Should he die and he will stop spawning enemies.

[rich thorn]

not all medics btw

[errant siren]

[rich thorn]

🥀

[white iris]

Which characters do you recommend to use? I always save hope because tragodia can do everything

[errant siren]

Ideally, additionally, you wanna find Suicide Letter.

[rich thorn]

kal for sure

[errant siren]

Which disables the boss regen.

10% from MaxHP per sec btw.

[white iris]

I have that

But it's all over because I'm stupid

[errant siren]

ZuoLe, Degen...

Who else has good damage on solo target...

[rich thorn]

haruka for heals

[errant siren]

[rich thorn]

hoshi2

[errant siren]

Yeah, her

[white iris]

Yes i have hoshi2 what skill and degen too

[errant siren]

Paired damage isn't good btw, like Mlynar, because his one hit counts as two.

[rich thorn]

hoshi2 on s3

double advantage - good dmg and panik button for immortality

ulpi maybe good too

[white iris]

Even solo? I always believe he needs another member

[rich thorn]

you will take medic anyways

haruka ideal

[white iris]

This is my first ever IS soo I'll come back after your advices 🫶

[rich thorn]

nightingale/rose salt worse than her

but they have anti arts mechanics

ela could work too, but instead of boss targeting, you use her for wave clearing and mines

[faint rampart]

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

it is a bit strange just how good specialists are, you'd think with a name like that they'd be niche and situational, but a lot of the time they do the same things as other archetypes, but better

[steel relic]

They gave up on balancing them somewhere between Yato and Ela

[pine elk]

If I understand, for ending 4 in IS6, it's better to pick the "unsealed case" late in the run so you don't have to handle the "debuff" too long ?

[woeful knot]

they specialize in being generalists

game design is my passion

[remote badger]

the debuffs r harmless

[sly harness]

You pick it early to avoid the chances of missing the Scout

[steel relic]

It’s better to pick it earlier so you don’t get scammed out of any scouts

And miss the ending

[sinful sparrow]

debuffs are so nothing burger

[sly harness]

The best place would be right before leaving f2 Bosky, clear some Turmoils and then pick it

[pine elk]

ok, I tough it was similar to ending 3 when I pick it on the time between floor 4 to 5
Can I die because of Hp lost by this item ?

hi what specifically is hoederer used for in IS?

cuz ik they are used in is-5 but idk wat for

[remote badger]

his s1

[quick steppe]

tanking just about anything

stunning everything

generally good lamp pick

he has fallen off in popularity since the best lamp squads(tree tragodia) don’t use him but he’s a pretty comfy luxury

[sly harness]

Works great in endings with just Lamp collectibles and max HP, since Talons doesn't guarantee the ASPD he is not picked there

[grizzled nexus]

Huh, this guy can be met in F2

[sly harness]

Yes

[solar tree]

oh but like why pick him over someone like ulpianus in that case?

he can also stun with s3 and has a billion hp

[sly harness]

Ulpianus with base Lamp isn't that strong

ASPD makes Hoe on S1 incredibly hard to kill without a down time. And S2 perma stun without a downtime too

[sick mason]

Such interesting toss

Thankfully I do have bells

[wind lantern]

does anyone have any tips on beating is2? like summoner is good for is5 or things like that

[sick mason]

The only worthy summoner for IS5 is mostly just Deepcolor...

[wind lantern]

that's not my point..

[trail hawk]

I'm so mad. Game crashed when entering boss on 5th floor while trying to do 4th ending. I feel robbed

Ok, seriously. When they will add check for when this happens?

[sick mason]

Beating IS2 is like a walk in the park

Unless if u do D15 which is pretty hardcore

[desert brook]

i find is2 a lot harder than is 5/6 tbh

well maybe not a lot harder

[trail hawk]

IS2 is pain

[desert brook]

but noticeably

[wind lantern]

frr

[sick mason]

IS5 and IS6 has more QoL updates than IS2 anyway

Plus ofc 4* isn't free in IS2-4

The most overpowered thing about IS2 is the class squads

[desert brook]

they also have some gimmick that makes the mode a lot easier lol

like is5 lamp

[trail hawk]

D4 and above in IS2 is pure bullshit

[faint rampart]

just draft the relicless solution for the boss

[sick mason]

Shouldn't have added the difficulty tiers in IS2 like that

Keep it only 3 categories of difficulties (easy, normal, hard)

Rather than this bullshit

[trail hawk]

I think what makes IS2 so much bullshit is you having to take cursed item at D4 and above

IS3 on D4 and above made everyone more expensive, including 3* so you had to take that one squad reducing cost of everyone

[sick mason]

At least IS2 isn't as miserable as IS3

For me that is

[trail hawk]

Both have lots of issues as they were first two permanent ones

[sick mason]

IS2 difficulty tiers were too hardcore
IS3 RNG is out of control

[native sky]

Go beat mizuki with stats

👍

[desert brook]

metastatic

i kinda like is3 on low diff

cuz you can ignore having bad rng

and still have fun doing stages

[trail hawk]

IS4 is step up but main problem is Collapse and how unbalanced is gain and loss of it.

[native sky]

For me the best is is is4

Is5 is too controllable lmao

Just go desire and have all

Unless hatred

But hatred is too uncontrollable

💀

[sick mason]

Tragodia and Exu2 makes IS4 much more manageable now 🏃

[trail hawk]

In terms of theme, IS2 is still my fav.

[native sky]

I still have my is2 and3 merch won in tournament

[proven dagger]

dawg

I was even stalling the last two guys

😭

[trail hawk]

[sick mason]

More annoying than Saga

[sly harness]

If you want to stall even more this stage has a kill gate somewhere after the boss, you can stalk the saxophonist guy or two because they are quite tanky

This will buy you more time to kill the boss and break the spine

[rich thorn]

• too controllable
• lamp refreshes nodes into fucking EM elusive merc instead of wish fullfiller

[sly harness]

Discounting IS5 is hard because anything without ed4 gets very slop but the average player isn't playing 245 and they don't even know how those runs look in practice

[rich thorn]

and they evading dlc1 hard maps

saw more complains about kaz fall vs anything else

(stupid map for tragodia btw)

[sick mason]

Rhine guardians

[sly harness]

I think that IS6 can meet the similar fate but there d18 or t3 ed5 are going to be the most deterministic factors. Personally I would like to see ed5 cooking people even on d12 and below but surely it won't be that bad... Right?

[rich thorn]

d12 can just ugh

flower squad that/

?

heck, maybe even d17

till no taxes on box retoss

[earnest shuttle]

For sa1

[sweet pilot]

WE ARE ELEMENTMAXXING

Go get Bobbing for maximum self hindrance

[arctic panther]

why

[cursive verge]

Idk thats what I was told

Not that I have used s2 anywhere yet

Just s1 and s3

Tho tbh I can understand

Cant be waiting for sa1 to be available for redploymejt all the time

[rich thorn]

Wtfart des has asked this before too

(I also was not expecting ulpi s2 usage)

[faint rampart]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/GpgI3fGWkAANeqQ.gif

[sweet pilot]

yet my best attempt ig, need more ops

[slate hull]

get a decent defender or somebody who can hold the top rock instead of cutter and you might be good

[crystal niche]

you borrowin trag now instead of exu2

well it's not bad

[sweet pilot]

bro the relics are insane rightn ow

can stream if you want

[crystal niche]

nah I can't rn

gl on the run tho

[sweet pilot]

i literally have logos
trag and virtuosa

wi,th bunch of arts dmg and elemental effectivenes

one 90 res enemy and im cooked 💔

[crystal niche]

it's bad that u have 2 elem since they conflict with each other

trag plus some fast redeploy is alr enough to carry you

just use his s2 guh

i said its an exception

means i doesnt say about it

[floral plaza]

Ya am saying you are wrong

10 res is massive

Smh

[remote badger]

wuh

[sweet pilot]

should i try pramanix alter

what does she do

[sly harness]

Damage and cc

Supposedly decent hit count too

And is quite durable what can help in IS6 Bosky

[rich thorn]

also, can lure duck with s3

and freeze him

🥹

[pallid crest]

been a while. grey2 ok pick for is5 start?

[rich thorn]

for start no, for triple flinger later yes

or double with rosm

rosm better starter (or wis if you not ban her)

[chrome tangle]

Wtf

[pallid crest]

i dont have grey built tho

[chrome tangle]

Jobl3ss playing IS

[pallid crest]

and i dont want to build grey

[chrome tangle]

Then dont draft him

[pallid crest]

meh maybe i just unban wis and run with double flinger

[desert brook]

her hit count technically isnt high, its mostly the cc and true aoe

i think the ice only hits once per second

should i retoss so the ascent doesnt get consumed?

[sly harness]

Yep but then combine it with the high slow at it kinda works

[errant siren]

It will became empty coin afterwards.

[sly harness]

But supposedly S1 should be able to solve some big hitcount checks like Beyond Mount and Sea

[desert brook]

s1? crazy

[desert brook]

yeah, but i think its better to trade in plan

unless i can just choose not to take the temp recruit and it doesnt turn into blank coin?

i think my roster is good enough for yi so time to fuck around and find out™

[rich thorn]

just pick tragodia

and run mantragodia

[sly harness]

And tree squad, right?

[desert brook]

seems to be the case

if you just dont touch the voucher the coin doesnt turn blank

[sly harness]

no

the coin will work as long as it is tossed

[desert brook]

yeah but it doesnt turn blank if you dont take the vouchee

r

[sly harness]

if you retoss it will disappear

[desert brook]

oh

you need to retoss it

wait so does that mean if you toss the coin at all then retossing will lose it

even if you dont do a combat

[sly harness]

yes, as long as you have it tossed every combat will drop temp 6* ops

[sly harness]

yes

[desert brook]

fuuuuuck

[sweet pilot]

hi

[sweet pilot]

oh

i have dementia

military brainwashed my mentality

[chrome tangle]

it be like that

it was also like more than a year agooh its been 2yrs

[sweet pilot]

[chrome tangle]

Minosknights in IS

[sweet pilot]

we need more minos ops hraghhh

[chrome tangle]

you need more variety

guards + defenders and then a bird with a bow

[desert brook]

draft just to use salter s2

[sweet pilot]

it aint doing shit

at least azling team getting expanded

i am so mad that zima alter is not azling lwkey

[supple snow]

When you come back to the game and it was still running lmao

[sweet pilot]

Titi, my man left me, im kinda homeless
-pallas probably

[carmine token]

3 ises realeased by the time bro finished😭😭

[errant siren]

I can hear this fucking vid.

[sweet pilot]

only benefit of titi is that i cna finaly use erato with s2 😭

[errant siren]

Without launching.

[chrome tangle]

you coulda ran erato s2 with kafka bro

🚬

[sweet pilot]

only minos

[supple snow]

Oh I just never played is after a while I stop playing after getting exusi alter

[chrome tangle]

oh she's minos?

[sweet pilot]

blud we need vanguard 😭

[errant siren]

[chrome tangle]

bro hates IS6

[carmine token]

reasonable

[sweet pilot]

shes sargon

her story made me wanna pull her

[chrome tangle]

you stink

[sweet pilot]

and yes

Titi buffs both sargon and minos

kinda good considering she literally came minos as an ambassador for peace negotioations

and she handed a legendery harp ( fake ) that sargonian authoratized gave it to her

[sweet pilot]

i just started playing is6 🙏

[rich thorn]

mantra is mid starter, she only picked if you dont own her

trag better

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1UCrmBXERP/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click

[sweet pilot]

i am starting with raidian, silverash, contrail, texas
you think its a good start?

💀

[slate hull]

sarmid and midnos, one has a woman with a boomerang, the other has a medic with global range, I don't know if there is anyone else you really use from there

[sweet pilot]

we were talking about titi

[rich thorn]

we talked about is5

not is6

[sweet pilot]

ah

[rich thorn]

raidian is one of best starts, but after you fully upgraded her

after that is exu2 and trag

maybe pram2 but needs something to stall before s2 charged

[thick kayak]

WHOOO IS-6 DIFF 2 DONE

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-w-gif-1872437354384626643

thank you for letting me borrow your Tragodia

also i hope i disabled the @ if not i am sorry

[flint token]

What does mantra even do actually

[slate hull]

she is the nervous impairment version of Nymph, does a lot of dmg if the enemies have the element applied to them

has some interesting chain mechanics

[carmine token]

she can do this with s3

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/814537437170499584/1484171266461012109/VID_20260319134332-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif

[rich thorn]

for is5 she is a nuker with inv reveal on s3

s2 is chain caster with ele burst in it

s2 deals 25% of its dmg as ele dmg if target under np ele burst

so it has good synergy with some relics what buffing both arts and ele dmg

[rich thorn]

(that usually wants trag s3 to stack np fast on jellies)

s2 prob will work too, but idk

[sly harness]

why Trag S3? You have like 200 Jellies in the cat range

Also cages reveal jellies

[rich thorn]

dunno how to say that

if izumik farts, and trag die, s2 will be with 0 sp

s3 at least could be popped after redeploying

so you either do 0 mistakes

or trag die and cant save you after redeploying

[sly harness]

you have Nowell to sustain him

[cursive verge]

Can I use whisperain in his stead (totally not looking for an excuse to byy whisperain skin)

[carmine token]

i forogr about that

[halcyon flame]

This is a legit qiestion regardless since I dont bave nowell

[rich thorn]

Did it once, and don't even want to play IS3 anymore

[remote umbra]

Question:
In IS6 if i want to do ed4 how do i do it exactly?
The yt guide tells me to get the scroll item from the shop. Does this mean i need to walk towards every Scout node to prepare for the bossfight?

Or is there an easier way to prepare for it without giving away all of my good units before ed1 fight

[inland elbow]

You just send a single one out on scout to get the ed4 item

Save candles from f5 bosky, on f6 there will be another new bosky

And you can send ops there

[remote umbra]

I see, usually i was preparing all of my candles for the end of f4 where i would clear most of bosky

[remote umbra]

....
All you had to do was use the double refresh coins in your inventory but nooo, lets try to play the emergency node blindly.
How are you supposed to pass this level without a refresh? In order to reach ED4

[faint rampart]

wis s2 better for hitcount, might've been better

https://youtu.be/MD5atqRDa6Q

[remote umbra]

This is so bs. And to think he got the normal version, let alone me who got the emergency version

[inland elbow]

let cars loop twice and then kill far right

that way they don't just spawn in front of blue box and instakill you

[remote umbra]

Nah, i will just fish for a refresh coin

[desert brook]

yea the cars pick up the enemies and then drive right and you kill them there so they dont -100 you

or if you have turbo cc then you can just cheese the stage

or you just leak cars

[remote umbra]

Went with a 2nd try and got the free 6star operator coin.
Got this as my 1st free 6star.
Is this a sign to not refresh cheese it?

[desert brook]

uhhh, wtf do i get if i refresh

looks like the way in has priority?

[desert brook]

yeah

[desert brook]

always tells me this no matter which node i try to refresh

neat

incredible

[faint rampart]

yep
always fight it considering IS6 doesn't have many fun stages

[remote umbra]

Yeah baby, thats what i have been waiting for, thats what is all about.
(I will have 4 tries to roll for it on the next floor unless Yi's upgraded stage does me in on diff4 with 15 hp

[grizzled nexus]

First Node F4

[desert brook]

ive lost every single time ive taken this encounter lmao

my solution is to just always leave it

[remote umbra]

Well, the refresh cheese strat didnt worked bcs no luck in 4 tries and i sent ascalon into the scroll way too early so e1 ethan is my next best move next to 70 attack speed snipers

[slate hull]

isn't it based on what coins you have? though, I guess you are going to have mostly risk coins on a normal run

but I imagine you can go flower squad and then consistently get joy from burdenbeast

[arctic panther]

is6 ooc is nothing compared to is3 ooc

[desert brook]

yeah and the latter is what i run into

i pretty much always get the harder stages

[inland elbow]

Ascalon s1

[slate hull]

do you mean ethan s1?

[inland elbow]

I meant pramanix s1 wtf

I need to go to bed

Pop them far right, use pramanix s1 to push them right over and over

[remote umbra]

2 hours wasted yet again.
Went with pram s2, ethan s2 (skill was useless once pramanix was deployed) and ascalon was nowhere to be seen and the cars died before they could go to the afk spot

Way harder than wang ed3 diff10 for raidian module

[inland elbow]

Pretty sure that map can appear on ed3 now too

But yeah there's no reason to send away ops early

Just do it at the end in the bosky

[remote umbra]

Atleast in ED3 you have a choice between the 2 fights.
Here, your only choice is to hope you dont get the emergency version

[inland elbow]

Is your account new or something. Bringing out lapp for IS is pretty crazy

[remote umbra]

18 months old acc, I always used lapper in IS6, even a bit in IS5 while trying to get my 1st win in the early game

Even got a few ed1 wins with lapper in is2

[inland elbow]

hopefully when wang event releases but no one knows if yostar's even gonna release the official pc port to global

shes so good and fun

maybe one of these days ill do 2 + 4 with 5*s

[quick steppe]

there are a lot of suprisingly good 5*

like first class squad was a thing ™ but they also had mlynar and hoe so idk

[slate hull]

somebody pointed out that there is an option to link your account with steam, kind of interesting because it doesn't do much at the moment

but it does give me a bit of hope

[proven dagger]

oh yeah

i saw that too

it gives me hope as well

coping yostar is the reason this heart still beats

[proven dagger]

is5 gives a lot of them a chance to shine

(ashlock and specter for me)

specter is a great early floor draft, ashlock is my f4 draft,

[native sky]

hope so

[arctic panther]

yostar pls make actually good decisions for once

[desert brook]

i think the only 5* i use except band are amiya, kazemaru, and papyrus

[arctic panther]

well then use more 5 stars

[desert brook]

idk which ones to use

krooster maybe

[proven dagger]

krooster is super good in is5

ggreyy too

not a 5* but purestream is awesome

[muted tiger]

Welp, I tried.

[quick steppe]

ok i dont wanna assume because leizi gives talons vibes

but :handmixer: :handmixer: :handmixer:

ok its only two hands actually even thats not too bad

[muted tiger]

I have skill issue.

And yeah, this was an attempt at a 245 run.

Attempt being a keyword here because I ended up failing at the kill boats to make it to E4 (again...)

[earnest shuttle]

trag and leizi/sakiko can kill boat

[muted tiger]

I really need to stop forgetting to deploy Sakiko very very behind instead of one space to the right a bit in the map.

Kept trying and forgetting for that matter, to not do Sakiko Archetto.

Anyways, I'm off to do stronghold now.

[desert brook]

cheeeeto

[inland elbow]

sakikos fault

[chilly garden]

Someone know what's wrong with my char?

[west quarry]

rar hour

rare*

[chilly garden]

[grizzled nexus]

Bruh, an unlucky timed Mao-Lu Hour (1% chance of stun per attack) in Difficult Beginning is annoying...

[cursive verge]

[earnest shuttle]

less annoying than talisman on summon imo

[arctic panther]

talisman on deploy is the worst hour of them all

[cursive verge]

Unless you are actually hit with the stun its a nothingburger of an hour

Which is a 1% chance

[frigid cargo]

I'm curious

Can I leak the ed4 boss

Like Quilon is easier to leak

But Amiya is 999 HP drain

[errant siren]

Chen Hour of Sui.

[frigid cargo]

is it that bad?

i got it too and survived till floor 5 now

dont really use melee

[errant siren]

Yes, if you wanna kill enemy fast, but he cancels death and now waste your ops skill enough to end before dying from that.

It may really affect you.

In special way.

[arctic panther]

you're forgetting the 5% rule, however

if something bad has a low chance of happening, it will happen much more often than it should
