[muted tiger]

It did not, in fact, give me vanguard.

[inland elbow]

Yes

In settings

But there's only preset options

Can't resize them

[rich thorn]

surely they will add

[inland elbow]

And none of them are 1920 x 1080

[rich thorn]

cuz its beta?

[proven dagger]

bouta head into ending 2

[rich thorn]

or its already oficial release

[proven dagger]

👅

[inland elbow]

Looks good to me! Ship it

[rich thorn]

[proven dagger]

i think i can win this

[muted tiger]

Let's see, one bosky...

[rich thorn]

is that a banlist with relics ban

[proven dagger]

no

i cleared most of bosky

[rich thorn]

Aaannnddd I forgot that the rocket launcher had unlimited range.

I love Rules of Modern Warfare.

[muted tiger]

Need an encounter node...

Picked up the recover 7 LP collectible for some reason.

This proceeded to kill me.

[arctic panther]

do you have the specialist redeploy decrease book?

[muted tiger]

Sometimes, getting more life actually kills people guys.

[proven dagger]

fuck

i misplayed this one

this was completely doable

You know what they say

Ripbozo

they call me lowroll landon

[rich thorn]

They are just jealous

[earnest shuttle]

that wont stop me cus I havent unlocked it either

[muted tiger]

Hi guys, can I do an IS run on a Googlebook? 🤘

[slate hull]

maybe when it is out

[muted tiger]

Mumuplayer isn't paygated on windows?

I'm incredibly tempted to do something pretty stupid right now actually

[static dragon]

mac and ios being paygated isnt a new thing

considering apple charges like 30% fee

from the software developer

[muted tiger]

Step one, download Mumuplayer on this little thing.

[deft breach]

Scout right before wonderland node works, right?

[muted tiger]

Ooh, this run lucked into two spawn 3 hovering early on.

[muted tiger]

The good news is that I lucked into getting the hands.

The bad news is that I refreshed a node into this instead of a wish fulfilled.

The end result is a fail.

[brazen bane]

[muted tiger]

Probably could've beaten that node if I speed ran my way to a full king's set instead of not doing that.

[earnest shuttle]

Frequent dispute

[muted tiger]

Honestly, a ramped up Sakiko start probably could've made it

Aaannnddd rushed to F3 again.

[spring sluice]

is it better to recruit the "limited" ops (sharp, in this case) or your own ops (maxxed lapland in this case)

[muted tiger]

I can honestly say that rushing to F3 to get the you beat F3, have 2 plans thing is becoming increasingly braindead to me.

[crystal niche]

3 vg damn

[muted tiger]

Ines is probably the play over Sash Alter if I'm spamming casters like this tbh.

Aaannnddd 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

You overcame at least two floors. Fuck you, don't get your two plans.

Oops. Forgot to swap her to S2 first thing.

Pushing people into holes is fun.

When in doubt, buy doodle of hope.

If I believe hard enough.

This next start.

Will give me my damn two plans.

[tidal pasture]

why doesnt my is6 have the squad where u get reserve rhode island operators

[tidal pasture]

how do you beat this stage

ive never beat it before

[crystal niche]

this

isn't is 6

[arctic panther]

thats is5

[brazen bane]

IS6 is Sui garden, this one is IS5

[muted tiger]

Well in the case of this run, it's simple!

I didn't.

I was trying to refresh for a wish fulfilled.

[brazen bane]

shiny name in the IS nerd discord

[buoyant beacon]

Ugh, #4 have hope +1 already at D6

Man cmon

[arctic panther]

atleast its not is3

[buoyant beacon]

I survived #3 D15, I guess I can do this

But cmonn I need my haha funny pick bro

How the hell am I supposed to pick Tecno or Delphine with this economy

[earnest shuttle]

u let the big hammer destroy all the road block

[muted tiger]

Going down the list, I should...

E2 Click and actually raise her, maybe actually level up Gummy beyond E2 level 1 just for the stats, raise Ambriel, probably raise Roberta at some point, pray to dear god Highmore gets here already,

[craggy shadow]

Why is IS6 afraid of IS7

[earnest shuttle]

because IS7 is a registered 6 offender

[severe oasis]

heh.. 67..

[desert brook]

do you ever trade in mindfulness/unclouded coin or is the lp too important

[muted tiger]

Behold team, I sure wish I actually got a vanguard!

[gaunt bay]

Rose...

[solar falcon]

will is5 ed1 boss coffin ines s3's first deployment?

[arctic panther]

we need to KILL rose

and then i will take their place

[gaunt bay]

im killing you

youre going into the trash compactor

[buoyant beacon]

Pretty sure yes, not sure tho

[arctic panther]

but they said 67

[gaunt bay]

sliming you out for even suggesting it

[buoyant beacon]

Very valid place to shit my pants tbh

[arctic panther]

seriously what the FUCK is going on in bolivar 😭

is this what the seaborn are afraid of

[faint rampart]

:susge: does it give something big when you trade it

dont have him carry the entire theme again

and for the love of god let him be usable outside is7 🙏

[flint token]

He’s gonna scale like dlc2 raidian trust

[crystal niche]

Define useable

[buoyant beacon]

I mean, if you don't really figure the whole thing out, Raidian is pretty reasonable

Before E2 ig

[flint token]

On par with other defenders (low ass bar)

[crystal niche]

So u want him to be equal to things you got from gacha

[arctic panther]

competant in a full team with his talents(not proficiencies) actually doing something that isnt is related

[crystal niche]

[buoyant beacon]

Raidian doesn't get -1 summon deploy slot mod is very sad bruh
But welp, well balanced

[flint token]

as long as it isnt another case of is module giving 300% more power like raidian it’s fine

[crystal niche]

When are defenders competent nowadays

Nowadays defenders need gimmicks to survive

[arctic panther]

hoshi

[flint token]

Hoshi

[crystal niche]

Gimmick

[buoyant beacon]

I mean we have Hoshi alr, can you really get much better than that, I don't think so

[flint token]

erm all defenders have gimmick

[arctic panther]

all ops have gimmick

[flint token]

Nop

what the fuck does reserve defender do

[buoyant beacon]

Block 3 and a dream

[arctic panther]

defend

[flint token]

or reserve guard

[arctic panther]

guard

[buoyant beacon]

[flint token]

wrong 💢

it’s vanguard

[solar falcon]

for future reference: ines still gets her free initial deployment with s3 without getting coffined

[buoyant beacon]

Nice

[crystal niche]

Yea but theres such a thing as good and bad gimmick

[buoyant beacon]

Try Ines S3 in SSS bro it's gonna be fun||ny as fuck||

She doesn't sleep?

No 3 block, definitely no dream
Her S3 get 3 block but it never charge up ever so

IS#7, we are in Bolivar, the dog country

brazilians are dogs?

Perro?

that means Kristen is Brazillian

Omg

She went to space to get more tanline?

https://tenor.com/view/meme-memes-memes2022funny-meme-face-punch-gif-25436787

[rich thorn]

she actually fucks up people

[arctic panther]

she's still alive

[rich thorn]

SURELY it was a good idea to penetrate shield

[brazen bane]

maybe

but definitely not balling anymore

[buoyant beacon]

You know Kars? From JoJo?

Definitely the same plot here

[brazen bane]

it was a great idea
just look at what it did to Kjerag

[rich thorn]

🥹

[flint token]

Kjera is dead as fuckkk

[rich thorn]

if only that was ursus

then that could be considered as great idea

[brazen bane]

Ursus doesn't need any help blowing itself up

bro u outta the asylum yet?

"I tho I'm gonna see you die first but fuuck I guess I go before you after all" is funny as hell and I can't even laugh

[rich thorn]

eeither speed things up. or snake mofo will do his job again

🫃

[flint token]

snake gonna join reunion and fuck everything up again

for the lulz

(s)he fucking loves reunion i know it

[earnest shuttle]

[desert brook]

not cocoon level but it could give something like bloodshed

i guess maybe you can trade it at the end of a run

actually is bloodshed multiplicative

is it always almost half enemy hp

or is it additive with emergency/enemy difficulty

[earnest shuttle]

krill issue

[errant siren]

Wrong Wis skill indeed

[crystal niche]

s2?

[errant siren]

Should be S2 with melee deploying under her, yeah

[crystal niche]

[errant siren]

Faster cycles and same proper damage on Enraged Zombies

[earnest shuttle]

would that be enough to tank from enraged thrower ?

[errant siren]

She won't tank

[desert brook]

i think if her summon is on her left then the throwers wont hit her at all

[earnest shuttle]

most of them just die under 2 hits even revenant

[errant siren]

We make Revenant spawn in outranged tile near Wis

[earnest shuttle]

[errant siren]

So it provides Camo and stands outside of those fuckers range.

Meaning Wis can freely kill both right Throwers.

[desert brook]

i mean its already done here

you can see her summon is still alive

and the throwers cant reach it

[errant siren]

Left ones still be a problem, but it's better to defend one lane rather than two.

Since both will just move bottom lane and still won't attack Revenant.

[earnest shuttle]

Kinda hope im gonna see it again

[gaunt bay]

wrong wis skil lmao

[earnest shuttle]

[rough thorn]

does hoshialt good for is6?

[errant siren]

Ye

[inland elbow]

Very very good

[chrome tangle]

Does she beat IS6 relicless 🥹

[tropic adder]

What's relic again?

Collectible?

[chrome tangle]

Yes

[sick mason]

Still thinking about relicless...

[sly harness]

Relicless she will be super ass into ed2

[faint rampart]

is that why you're not gonna raise her

if anything

I raised my Crownslayer recently

very meta IS unit

[frigid aurora]

Was anyone cool enough to write a post with suggested starts for IS6?

[chrome tangle]

idk if cube ever updated his guide

but i think thats a start

in pins

[chrome tangle]

but yea i need mod6

[faint rampart]

[frigid aurora]

looks like he updated it for DLC2

[faint rampart]

rich ppl privilege
cant even think of any IS use

[faint rampart]

if thats fun

[chrome tangle]

i dont think he did ah i lied

[crystal niche]

[chrome tangle]

@nocturne cape where pramanix on this

Ling as a viable carry 🧎‍♂️

aintnoway

[crystal niche]

that's definitely old news

[chrome tangle]

he mentions pram in the guide

so its updated somewhere

[grizzled nexus]

Mlynar with Talisman, kek

[crystal niche]

where gnussy

[chrome tangle]

i guess he aint used

😔

[frigid aurora]

I gotta build Leizi!

Is her S1 or S2 better to max out?

[chrome tangle]

@sly harness do u know

[frigid aurora]

I've read a case for both

[chrome tangle]

I dont remember using her S1

[frigid aurora]

but I'm not made of materials

[chrome tangle]

but i also havent used Leizi in like 3 months

[gaunt bay]

s2

her s1 is very niche

[sly harness]

S2 > S3 > S1
S1 has literally 3 use cases the entire IS6

[frigid aurora]

thank you!

[sly harness]

S3 is good for hitcount and some maps where S2 range gets too awkward

[grave vine]

quick check, how to unlock IS6 ending 3/4 again?

I remember one is to buy a collectable in sui consciousness with 5 lp

[crystal niche]

?

is3?

[grave vine]

ah f

[crystal niche]

for ed3 it's doubt then pathfinder

[errant siren]

That one is for End4

[crystal niche]

for ed4 it's sui shop then scout

[errant siren]

And Scout node later.

[grave vine]

doubt into pathfinder as in?

I have to find a certain doubt node or what?

[crystal niche]

doubt then pathfinder fight

[crystal niche]

yes but high percentage the first doubt is the wang doubt but u need to check it

[grave vine]

the pay ingot to pass doubt node?

[crystal niche]

no the 5 candlelit

[grave vine]

wait doubt is a sui consciousness node right?

5 candle lit huh

[errant siren]

Yes, but this one will be different.
It will be Go gameboard background.

[grave vine]

okay so upon unlocking a certain requirement ( ending 1 + 2 I guess), there will be a new doubt node type where the requirement to pass is to have 5 candle lit instead of things like 12 hope on hand/4 yan ops etc, and I have to pass it to get to ending 3, am I right?

since I have never encounter that node before

[errant siren]

This one will open on End2 clear

[sly harness]

Looking at the IS3 d18 ed3 relicless the original clear may be more than an hour long

[woeful knot]

usual trag stall

[sly harness]

Trag stall is one thing but damaging the boss with it constantly changing forms looks so ass

[woeful knot]

this is why we just bring ange weedy yu

doesnt take a lot of braincells to do

[sly harness]

No Weedy (nah but this surely nukes her)

[woeful knot]

trying to nuke d18 skadi is extremely ass imma be real w u

nvm u have trag

just do as normal

[sly harness]

[woeful knot]

it wont take long dawg

the older d15 skadi solve is way cooler than present strats

but it just dont work anymore

[sly harness]

I was able to nuke her with this on my first (and only) d18 clear but ye.. quite a bit of damage (currently u have 0 )

[rich thorn]

put in da hole still funnier

[woeful knot]

🚬

if u know the 2 op hole its pretty cool too

since its harder than izumik push

[sly harness]

The diagonal thing?

[sharp chasm]

Does anyone know anywhere I can check for these icons for every IS? I believe 2 and 3 don't have these?

[woeful knot]

yeah its a frame perfect thing

skill lost to time tho

just take trag

[rich thorn]

yes, 2 and 3 dont have diff colors

and you can check in ark wiki too

[sharp chasm]

Alright thanks

[sly harness]

As for colours you can see them on wiki, the difficulty requirements for each tier are the same in all ISes since IS4

[chrome tangle]

bro

the fuckin weedy cancelling skadi's transformation

[woeful knot]

that was cool bro!!!

i swear

[chrome tangle]

A lot of damage

this thing here do 200m true dmg

all this effort

just to match weedy kill

[faint rampart]

using modern ops yay!

[chrome tangle]

stinky

but also ED3 🚮

[sly harness]

As if ed4 was harder with Weedy

[woeful knot]

its hard 😢

i cant progress the 3op with weedy

[sly harness]

like in acid cancel and kill or push? (push seems harder for low op because you need to take like Angelina who is useless post push)

[woeful knot]

low op will always be acid cancel

push should be 4-5
starve should be 6

u should pick up my work on the low starve!

[sly harness]

@ Bait

[woeful knot]

nah the gang isnt interested that much in starve

[light kelp]

Does the ed4 boss on p2 count as an objective point? (For relic buffs)

[crystal niche]

I didn't even need lamp

[chrome tangle]

hire more members

dummy

[woeful knot]

we dont get applicants

😔

[chrome tangle]

you should advertise

[woeful knot]

i need to sell this 6op frfr
its already in phase 2

just need someone to finish

[chrome tangle]

tell khant

[cunning karma]

No

It's not an objective point, just the boss killing a mob and deduct 1 lp

[opal helm]

Not my proudest run but at least I'm closer to getting Radiant E2 now

[faint rampart]

wis

nvm e2

[rich thorn]

do it

[brazen bane]

free fish in fish IS

Checks out

[errant siren]

[crystal niche]

this is a sign for u to go back to is6 highrolling

[soft fog]

Does Hoderer do anything that Executor doesn't? Specifically for an Archetto IS team

[heavy pumice]

which IS?
only remember hoe only excell at IS5

[sly harness]

Non of them are worth using in the Archetto team

[soft fog]

Generically, I'm mainly clearing IS 2 currently, almost done with 5

[soft fog]

Hoh, really?

[heavy pumice]

ohh
so not going for High difficulty?
low diff pretty sure work with archetto

[sly harness]

Saki and Degen with S2 are the good guard picks for Archetto synergy

[soft fog]

Going through most difficulties, already at diff 16 on IS 5 but almost done getting all the material

[soft fog]

Hmmm Saki is good damage but I find I struggle a lot with her lack of sustain

[faint rampart]

damn CN playr

[soft fog]

And my ranged Bois do enough damage

[heavy pumice]

as which one better?
executor alter or reaper in general are cursed for IS, any IS
the only exception is entel in IS6 but for this one i am no expert

[heavy pumice]

ohh, then scrap the idea of using them
archetto team arent optimal or the best per se but it work (this include the ops who benefit most from her IS mod)

[sly harness]

Ye Saki isn't great but the whole Archetto centred drafting isn't great

[soft fog]

Is5*

[sly harness]

And when it comes to sustain Executor will be much weaker

Hoe isn't too useful outside of IS5 too

[soft fog]

Really I'm looking for good solo sustains for IS, the Archetto synergy is just a nice bonus I have since I run Archetto often.

I have Executor but if he's not a good solo sustain for high difficulty I'd rather not invest material, and Hodurer I could get with yellow tickets if he does the job

[static dragon]

you probably want to get hand of fireworks with archetto

[soft fog]

My account is weird in that like the only solo sustain I have is like, Hoshiguma and... Gummy

[heavy pumice]

then try change the strat by not involving good solo sustain

[sly harness]

Hoe is great in IS5 with Lamp because there you can guarantee Chalice and with the ASPD he is great

Executor isn't used in IS at all, he doesn't scale

When it comes specifically to IS5 with Archetto, Mon3tr is a main carry that benefits a lot form Archetto

[soft fog]

For some stuff like ending 4 IS 5 you usually need multiple solo sustains no

[sly harness]

Archetto + Degen S2 also is a compe with decent performance in IS5 (although only one person was able to use it really successfully)

[heavy pumice]

i do firework core back then for IS5 (sadly no ed5)
this old ss might help for your reference

i didnt play solo sustain, well if count kal as solo sustain then yeah

[sly harness]

Meta draft for ed4 pre Mon3tr

[crystal niche]

grey alt

[sly harness]

You only need 2 flingers

[crystal niche]

[soft fog]

Gah wish I had Degen, free Kjerag synergy too

[sly harness]

But generally for ed4 in IS5 you want:

• Agent
• Mon3tr (or Silence + Eyja) - if you don't have any you will need to cope with something
• cc for the boss in map1 (usually Ethan or Qiubai)
• cc for the boss in map2 (Indigo, Hoe can work too)
• lane holders for map1 usually something with good range and AoE (flingers are great, Santalla can work, Młynar too, something tankier doesn't need range like Hoe because he can survive Envies)
• and someone to DPS the boss on map2

[soft fog]

Hmmm yeah I probs just need better lane holders, more or less have the rest

Very punny

[harsh pumice]

What’s the general strategy for is6 ed1 boss on higher difficulty? This guy has been stomping me 8/10 times. I get that I need to put my frail units on the matching color to reduce the damage they take but he either kills them regardless or he swaps colors super fast and all my set up was for nothing. Super annoying to fight. Would taking Haruka help for her bubbles to reduce the damage you think? I guess I need to limit the amount of units I put on the colored tiles and alternate them quickly to juke him out?

[faint rampart]

just use trag s2 plus some bodies

You can either farm relics and nuke him on spawn with raidian s2

Or stall him to death with raidian s1

[sly harness]

or optimize your pathing to get enough collectibles to reliably nuke him

[earnest shuttle]

not really

[errant siren]

D15 be like

[crystal niche]

so it's above average?

[earnest shuttle]

Its rare to get full set imo

[craggy shadow]

that was 7

well the encounter gives full set at 1 lp

[sly harness]

More like DEF be like

DEF is a stat that exists... And surprisingly sometimes matters

[craggy shadow]

do they have more def than bestial ju

[earnest shuttle]

I was waiting for this video 🥀

[sly harness]

I will post this and note some mistakes in the description

[craggy shadow]

wtf

where is the shieldguard

[sly harness]

They have 1200 base but with cursed collectibles most likely above 2k

(depends what you get)

[craggy shadow]

i got that crown one

[sly harness]

https://tomimi.dev/en/stages/ISW-DF_The_Point_of_No_Return#enemy_1006_shield_3

[craggy shadow]

omg

1200 def vs 1000 def

nvm i think bestial ju is still tankier with this passive

[sly harness]

But there are 2 differences between IS2 and IS6

• the only DEF affecting debuff in IS6 is the ed4 +20% in IS5 all cursed collectibles affect DEF
• in IS2 you play almost relicless on average where in IS6 you will easily get more than +100%

[craggy shadow]

is is2 generally more painful than 3 im only level 40 in is2 and d10 max so not much experience

[boreal island]

Honestly, IS2 might have more stat sticks, but the stage design is simpler, including the boss stages, so you suffer less, unless you're doing ending 2, then you're cooked

[desert brook]

imo is3 is generally more painful because the debuff rng is dogshit
is2 has some quirks but it doesnt feel straight up bad at times

[boreal island]

is2 max diff is just as rng as is3, maybe even more, cause at least you have ways to negate the debuff in IS3, but yeah, they're both RNG hell

[arctic panther]

its more painful because its so boring

[desert brook]

actually there is one thing that feels really bad about is2 and its ending rng, but is3 is only marginally better in that regard

[boreal island]

End 2 is easy enough to get, but double endings are once in 3 runs, maybe?

[sly harness]

but non of the debuffs kills you

[boreal island]

you could get poison floor, I also had a floor with 1 deployment limit, but that one was on me

[sly harness]

poison on like f1 or f2 can be cleared by cycling your ops in most cases

later you shoud have medics

[desert brook]

yeah i remember poison floor being a non issue as long as you had one medic

[boreal island]

you could also get both

[desert brook]

how did you get 1 deployment limit
though it seemed like you were fine in that case

considering you need to cycle ops to keep their skills up anyway

[boreal island]

Basically, you get like -2 from a floor debuff, -1 for another bebuff I forgot, and there was either -1 or -2 from the early relic. Again, I don't remember which combo this was, but honestly, I'd rather have -1 deployment limit than more enemy stats.

[desert brook]

i see

[crystal niche]

should talons have like

a high relic count

[boreal island]

talon in 2026!!, but ye, duh, high quantity low quality

[crystal niche]

is 60 normal?

I don't play talons, so hard to say, but if you're on F6, and no king, that might be a problem, 60 is fine... surely

[crystal niche]

well I have full kings but I'm on f5

[boreal island]

60 is fine...average run probably

do talon runs get chalice and ingots? How does this work?

[crystal niche]

nop aspd relics are atleast in my run

[boreal island]

then 60 sounds low no? cause gotta compensate for the lack of aspd with more damage and sustain.

72

failed run tho

[quick steppe]

feel like on 15 you could blueprint slop your way through it

[boreal island]

true damage crown, but no true damage, 2-3 stun/freeze extenders but no stun/freezer, eeee

[quick steppe]

general talons draft is the universal trag/m3/mlynar/archetto

[earnest shuttle]

Yea I dont have other good true dmg dealer
no mon3tr

[crystal niche]

altho I'm ngl my dmg feels much higher with talons

[boreal island]

ye, that's unfortunate, but it's not the end of the world, I'm just saying talons rng requires dynamic play, maybe.

[earnest shuttle]

it certainly need core operators of is5

[boreal island]

actually, does it?

[boreal island]

oh yeah, that draft would be good in is6 hehe, well, maybe not grey

[open girder]

Could use some opinions (running IS2 but serves to all the others)
I'm only on difficulty 7, usually starting with this and Promoted Hoshi2 / Steward/ Kroos.
I don't really have other 6* Supps or Def but guaranteeing Hoshi makes things really comfy

Is there something else that is more strongly advisable? Like battle exp or idk

[steel relic]

Pretty much any other class is going to have stronger options than Hoshi

[cursive verge]

Iirc
Spec/cast is syrongest (tho its mostly specspec and you need the limkted ops)
Followed by snipemed

For is2

[potent gulch]

Is2-4 has to restart the run abit to get a e2 hoshialt to appear as ur starter

[cursive verge]

Uh ig chetto and saki is also a thing but I am not sure

I am on D18. still one of the goofier ways I cheese onto doing a lot of damage to the E5 enemy.

[muted tiger]

The nice thing about this run is that I'm on the E5 train and the E4 train sooner or later.

The horrible part is that I don't have any vanguard, and pretty much none of the king's relics, and I'm probably going to die on floor 4 right about now.

i refreshed first combat of f1 into an encounter because i wanted to restart a run and got it from it

A lot of my refreshes gave me safe houses instead of wish fulfilled.

And then a lot of safe houses didn't actually give me plans.

it's the last thing u placed

[earnest shuttle]

Uhh something about last deploy ops being targeted and not the last thing on the field like portal

it is like that

literally said in the relic

the last deployed operator

so even if they died if u didn't put more operators down they will be picked

[faint rampart]

wtf

oh

[topaz gazelle]

Is there any sort of general macro guide for is6 D12 medals runs? So not really team/ending specific macro, but more general stuff like:

How to prioritise nodes inside and outside bosky

When do you save Vs spend right away recruitment tickets.

Like for is5, it's generally a consistent gameplan with lamp -> path spikes and collect kings set, shop rob -> chalice/toy -> end.

I don't really feel like I understand the equivalent gameplan for is6

Fwiw I'm playing on cn so I have dlc2, but I'm fine with any macro guide for dlc1 or just base is6

[paper notch]

i think is6 version of this is like get e2 raidian -> always path bosky nodes and prio bosky combats -> path into 2nd shop at some point -> if doing ed4 save f5 steps for f6 bosky -> rob f6 cannot or earlier if no f6

is6 in current state is somewhat auto pilot

[slate hull]

it varies a lot depending on the squad and the ending you are going for, but generally speaking bosky and pathfinder are going be the priority on every floor

but I can't really say much for dlc2, not sure there are many people here who play on CN

[paper notch]

pathfinder isnt really a prio now

[topaz gazelle]

Some guides I see recommend shop rob first floor, some I see recommend shop rob on 3rd with enter bosky after leaving shop item

[paper notch]

you get enough hope at least on dlc1 that pathfinder is somewhat equivalent to an em. combat

[slate hull]

first floor was before dlc1

you get more value from later robs now

[topaz gazelle]

Fair enough. If I don't prio pathfinder, what do I path outside of bosky besides entering bosky? Just combats and faceoff?

[paper notch]

mostly path bosky and sometimes shop and occasionally scout

not sure how that pans out on dlc2 tho

[paper notch]

other than that it's just em. combats and faceoffs

[topaz gazelle]

What about for the recruitment tickets. Is it just save until max, then start spending?

[sly harness]

ignore conserving and fight

[paper notch]

personally i save f1 vouchers into f2 pathfinder then just treat pathfinder as an em. fight ye

if you arent banning raidian there's technically no reason to save even the f1 ones if you can win f2 pathfinder

[quick steppe]

never conserve past f1 imo

em fight value too good

[topaz gazelle]

Don't you save vouchers to conserve hope? I don't feel like I am getting lots of hope when I play, which is why I feel like I'm doing the wrong macro plays

[quick steppe]

you don’t need a whole lot of hope

• take more fights

[sly harness]

You can conserve one or two for entering Bosky if you can benefit from it in the specific situation

There is enough Hope to recruit like 5-6 6* ops and if you are not banning meta ops it is more than enough

[topaz gazelle]

In bosky what I think I path is:

Shop/coin swap at full hp.
Combat whenever doable
Doubts if the top option is doable.
Legends if I'm low hp and pathed at least 5 nodes
Retrieve if none of the above apply
Leisure and gamble in end game

Does this seem about right?

[quick steppe]

probably leisure above retrieve

you get more relics

delicious relics

[slate hull]

you can also prioritise nodes with many connections to quickly reveal the map

wasting candles on lines that reveal 1 node at a time can be a big waste of candles

wasting candles can be a waste of candles, I have such a way with words

[topaz gazelle]

The leisure trade for relic is 8/1 16/2 relics right? If there's this, and also entering outside shop twice in floor 1 and floor 3, how would you have enough ingots to sustain?

Or do you only buy the mega op relics in F1/3 shop, and refresh/leave if there isn't one.

[paper notch]

is6 you are generally overflowing with ingots

and leisure isnt just the 16 ingots/2 relics

you can heal up using 10 ingots/ 6 lp 2 times and go to lp shop and buy more relics there and you even know what you are getting

if you are just doing ed1 and ed2, it can be a consideration to stack shield and just leak the ed1 boss/ ed2 left side

[topaz gazelle]

Alright. Thanks for the tips. Just out of curiosity how hard would you rate is6 medal runs? Fwiw I've done all D12 medals in the other 4 is and max diff all endings

I've also done max diff all ending for is6 but I just used seeded runs for that

To me is6 feels way harder than is5 and 4

[paper notch]

im prolly not the one to ask on this since i have had a largely different IS experience with is6 especially

is6 especially d12 if you are playing it safe is very boring

raidian carried 95% of stages by her own

i would say it's on the easier end of ISses overall even the different endings are all very easy compared to older itterations

that's dlc1 speaking tho

[topaz gazelle]

I'm also trying to balance the time alongside how safe I play it. So far I'm doing ed1s and I skip a fair amount of combats comfortably. When I did is5 ed5 runs I also straight up just did 1-5 without taking an extra floor in the form of ending 3

[sly harness]

So I am making the IS3 playlist and I just played normal wfu with this squad

Those were my collectibles..

But I don't have a recording

It was -2 but surely could have been leakless. Here is also my setup good luck

[solar tree]

hi is hoe s3m3 valid for IS?

[gleaming jewel]

[sly harness]

Some very niche usecase, iirc for example Qiu'lon map2 burst if you calculate that it will be the optimal pick
