insane poverty draft

[white mural]

Dalaos i have come for guidance

I'm reading the tacfort ange hoe comp guide from is central and I'm kinda confused on the investments, cos the guide recommends bassline/quercus as main def/medic draft. Do i invest in them? Or are the more standard gummy/silence or purestream enough for non tourney d18?

[cursive verge]

I told you ti ask in is central and this is where you ask

[white mural]

Oh

You mean like

On the other place

[cursive verge]

[earnest shuttle]

[cursive verge]

There are some dalaos here too

Its just its 'some' and not 'many'

More dalaos = more chances of finding someone who has experience with this tactfort

The scrungly plastic bag lizard skybreak

[crystal niche]

[tidal raptor]

I saw in pins that he’s pretty good for newbs

[remote badger]

i think u shouldn't

[tidal raptor]

Ok gotcha

Is ling worth it?

[remote badger]

in is4?

no

[tidal raptor]

How did you know

And why not?

Wouldn’t her summons be helpful in the two kings fight?

[gray pulsar]

what exactly are her summons gonna do in that fight

[tidal raptor]

Cover the bottom two lanes?

[gray pulsar]

if ling dragons can cover those lanes any generic melee body probably can atp

the only credible threats on d4 SoT are the kings themselves, id rather draft towards solutions for them

[sly harness]

SA2 is too good

Now I can clear OOC but the +70 ASPD is

[tidal raptor]

Gotcha then! I’m just traumatized from the fight

[tidal raptor]

You know what, I think I’ll cry into a hole. I read the guides, watched the walkthroughs, and it’s stil confusing to me agaha

[gray pulsar]

yea its less of a statcheck fight than gardener/sentinel but theres a decent amount of theory that goes into managing basically two ch10 cannons

[tidal raptor]

I think I’m cooked

[slate hull]

what in the world are these skill levels

[inland elbow]

The is central one?

[tidal raptor]

Yup

[tidal raptor]

I’m lazy

[inland elbow]

Then where is mylnar

[tidal raptor]

I don’t have him

And didn’t get spooked in temp recruitment

[inland elbow]

Tequila

[tidal raptor]

I have silverash if it helps

Just got him and promoted him

[inland elbow]

Are you sure you read the guide

The important part is that it's 0 block

So that the yellow king stays in cycle

[tidal raptor]

I read it but I didn’t get it. Oh well, I’ll most likely lose the run then I’ll read it again slowly

[sly harness]

they have Prama (surely she can replace Lin, probably slow will fuck it up )

[inland elbow]

Yeah the msvpd down is yikrs

I know people used wis turrets and adjusted manually before

But like, no gravel

[tidal raptor]

Welp, here goes nothing

I got them both to half health before they left

[grizzled nexus]

Bruh after all of Ending that I had cleared. I just read that Statuegeist got 75% damage reduction if the damager is outside of the 4 tile around them.

[crystal niche]

bru

that's like

starter knowledge

[earnest shuttle]

stuff that often get overlooked ya

[grizzled nexus]

I was wondering why the Statuegeist in F1 battle that got rats running is way tankier than any other Statuegeist

[sly harness]

Personally, I probably didn't delve into the mechanics until I reached d15

[grizzled nexus]

And those out of reach 2 statuegeists in Mangshan Town Record

[earnest shuttle]

you dont really kill that thing at high diff, just pay 20dp and ignore it

[sly harness]

???

8 Ingots

[earnest shuttle]

cus it gets out of reach

[subtle moss]

Not when its that one turmoil node

[sly harness]

and Coupons (if Megamus)

[subtle moss]

And im on ed4 relic

Easiest -10 hp

[earnest shuttle]

oh i mean as in that rat stage

[crystal niche]

[sly harness]

also on d18 this map will have 3 Statuegeist

[earnest shuttle]

I dont mean it in every stage

[sly harness]

and the Chalices that reduce damge taken by enemies (you can stall perma stall them with Kal2 🧑‍💻 )

[crystal niche]

oh fuck is totally out of control hard?

it looks similar to that is3 stage

actually it looks VERY similar

[earnest shuttle]

because is it out of control

[grizzled nexus]

Cause it is that stage

[crystal niche]

but it's totally out of control

in is6

more out of control

[earnest shuttle]

in is6 is easier

[crystal niche]

it's easier cause it's is6

[tidal raptor]

Ranged ops go in yellow side to target red king

[crystal niche]

THEY GAVE ME STIR FRY WITH 2 BATTLES LEFT

[tidal raptor]

And I can just use haruka/tequila to kill yellow king

[crystal niche]

[tidal raptor]

This truly isn’t rocket science

[crystal niche]

just make sure haruka don't die

[tidal raptor]

Trust with spot in lion lane, she will not die

Can I helidrop hoshiguma to kill red king or too long redeploy?

Try again

[crystal niche]

ok then

173

d15 with support

that was truly a run that almost got axed by lag

[tidal raptor]

Wait, we use mlynar in king fight to avoid disrupting cycle of yellow king or because he’s tanky?

[crystal niche]

uh idk if he can disrupt but tanky and the taunt I think

can his taunt get the nukes they cast onto mlynar?

[sly harness]

both, we use a Liberator for so called "Liberator cycle" which alowas use to completly avoid Red knight nukes

[tidal raptor]

Wait why?

I read the guide but am confused by the wording

[tidal raptor]

Right.

[crystal niche]

is this relicless solution

[sly harness]

the timings will simply be arranged in such a way that the Red Knight will always use his skill when the Yellow Knight is on the right side and the AoE of this attack will not reach your units

[sly harness]

relics can fuck it up (any movement speed)

[inland elbow]

It's semi relicless solution

[tidal raptor]

Gotcha. I’ll avoid movement relics

[crystal niche]

[inland elbow]

Mylnar was in a couple of relicless

But eyja never was I think

They used ng instead

[sly harness]

those are the normal variant old relicless

[earnest shuttle]

Did u get an encounter of someone writting on the desk ?

so camp the top right

[desert brook]

[crystal niche]

or u could camp top left

[desert brook]

yea you can kinda spawnkill the boss

well

maybe not, hes rlly fat

but it should be pretty easy

[crystal niche]

don't know what difficulty or debuff guy has but his dps should be enough

[upper anchor]

it's d5

[desert brook]

no shitty crown

[crystal niche]

yea just spawncamp the boss

[upper anchor]

Debuff is +40% everything

[desert brook]

d5 should be able to spawncamp

[crystal niche]

[upper anchor]

Exu alt can spawncamp the boss?

[desert brook]

prolly wis

i think the boss has like 2k base def or something

wait its lower in p1 and increases during enrage

so maybe u can spawncamp with exu and then switch to wis

[upper anchor]

If he's high def maybe exu + mon3tr?

[desert brook]

mon3tr omly gives a tiny atk spd bonus tho

[upper anchor]

I mean, s3 mon3tr

True damage

[desert brook]

oh yeah

it would help but hes unblockable iirc

[long tundra]

Should be able to, that's what I did at lower Difficulties.

D9 it took one Exusiai S2 and one Lemuen S3.

[upper anchor]

Nah, he started one shotting stuff and my medics rolled high DPs cause whiteflower -_-

[desert brook]

bro took whiteflower 😭

[upper anchor]

Had no idea what it was xD

Could have cleared it with better placing tbh

[long tundra]

I feel like Blade Dance is the best one, though Shadow can be quite funny.

[desert brook]

playing blind is honestly pretty crazy i could never do it lmao

[upper anchor]

It has its charm tbh, usually "ain't no way he just did that" moments

[long tundra]

Yeah, for the first time doing an ending I always try to run blind, then I check their wiki entry.

[foggy oriole]

is f5 guaranteed to not have scout or is it rng

I didn't take any of the early scouts because the route was dogshit

[faint rampart]

💀

[cursive verge]

💀

Scout is your main priority aftee buying the case im f1 wonderland shop

Since it is indeed not guaranteed to appear at any floor

[foggy oriole]

not if the route is dogshit bro

😭

[cursive verge]

What was the route

[foggy oriole]

wish into safe house

🤮

[cursive verge]

Theres nothing wrong with that

[cursive verge]

.

If you arent going for ed4 thats fine but seems like you were

[faint rampart]

if you're doing ed4, you'll prolly get enough resources in return to make up for bad pathing/potential lowroll

[sly harness]

if you survive ed2a because of course you are taking ed2

And ye te chances of Scout appearing on f2-f4 are around 70-80% on each floor

And it never appears on f5

You can fish for Scout coin though

Chances of no scout on from f2 to f4

[cursive verge]

I rarely get scout on f3 yet it has the lowest odds of not giving you one

[sly harness]

Nevermind

Ye

Supposedly

[cursive verge]

Come to think of it, I have mostly encountered scoht node on f2, rest close to 0

[desert brook]

i get scout a lot on f3 but i rarely end up pathing to it

i should probably throw some 4* in the scout to get free coupons

[sly harness]

Just fight in pathfinders and you will often end up with 6* to scout

[desert brook]

i need to stop doing f3 bosky i think

since it gives less candles

[sly harness]

Nah still high prio

[earnest shuttle]

but doing turmoil on f3 is easier than doing it on higher floor

[desert brook]

is bosky high prio on every floor?

[sly harness]

There is nothing to do on f3 if you clear them on f2

[desert brook]

i cleared half of them on f2 im stupid and i fumbled 2 of them

[sly harness]

And Confusions/4 diffs are better to do on f4 with Megamus

[desert brook]

and then one of them is the uhh

dp thief one

[faint rampart]

ed2 my saviour

[sly harness]

Just kill Sui on f2

[desert brook]

hold up whats a confusion

[sly harness]

The 9 Statuegeist one

[desert brook]

oh the name of the stage

ok yea that makes more sense

[sly harness]

There is To Forgot Oneself too with 4 Statuegeist

This also should be left for f4 and Megamus

[faint rampart]

yep the intended way! they even give the HP% dmg tower on f2

[desert brook]

mfw i get the enemy hp% tower and it heals sui to full hp

[sly harness]

Leizi + Ente are able to one cycle him like almost relicless on f2

(without ed4 debuff)

[sly harness]

[faint rampart]

broken class cooked by bad IS😔

[sly harness]

Avoid this one if you don't want to heal Sui

[desert brook]

yeah i didnt think it through the first time and i was like "hmm i dont remember sui having a healing mechanic"

How’s life been tresting ya

[queen basin]

this doesnt give initial DP right?

meaning i cant win ware-user with the DP eating guys w/ no vanguards

[nocturne cape]

Raidian with 0 cost summons can beat it

[queen basin]

oh i have ed2 collectible!

[nocturne cape]

Or that yeah

[queen basin]

use it on exu2 right

[nocturne cape]

Good, also been strongholding

[queen basin]

and take everyone else out of the squad

what about lemuen

[nocturne cape]

Iirc exu2 cant solo the stage

[queen basin]

:0

[nocturne cape]

You need another unit to hold middle

And your natrual dp gen is also gutted

[sly harness]

There is an invisible enemy

So if you want to literally solo it Hoshi should be the best option

[queen basin]

cooked

[rich thorn]

she prob can, but with -100% rdp

[queen basin]

bricked run

[rich thorn]

[nocturne cape]

You can deploy max pot exu even without ed2 relic its just that you wont have enough dp to drop a blocker down mid

[sly harness]

Nah you can do it in two candles

[queen basin]

can leizi alter s2 win

[sly harness]

Kill the DP eating snipers and then on the second attempt you can finish the rest

[queen basin]

ohh

[sly harness]

p2 Leizi can open relicless

[nocturne cape]

Leizi cant solo but she can open quite well

[queen basin]

yippee

[nocturne cape]

You need pot tho

[queen basin]

fah

very doubt

[sly harness]

My IS6 rollbacks usually have a big empty space where the f6 Shop should be

[foggy oriole]

do people actually shop in ed4

I feel like you're better off just spamming candle

[sly harness]

You don't need more than 5 ops on ed4 fight when May is landholding everything

[foggy oriole]

I think this one is doable

the is4 one suck balls and will instakill you

[sly harness]

I am just surprised because those encounters seem super rare in IS3

[foggy oriole]

there's also the triple bonus stage

which for all intents and purposes is straight up -30 and you probably won't even kill the bonus bosses

you plonk your setup down, and watch it immediately disintegrate to the missile gundams

[crimson grove]

Excluding Tequilla and Ethan, who are some non 6-star worth raising for IS?

[foggy oriole]

funny thing is

I don't think people draft tequila for is

[foggy oriole]

also which IS

This one? I leaked a duck because of some mistakes... Also the draft was quite 🫃

https://youtu.be/8OVZtAVBlYQ?is=kM9ibxTWBMePePYz

[foggy oriole]

off the top of my head

IS2: click, may, jaye, all 3 stars
IS3: click, may, kroos alter, all 3 stars
IS4 (the interesting one): greyy alter, gravel (ed4), bubble (ed3), shamare, all 3 stars
IS5: tin man (duh), amiya medic, all major archetype 4 stars (they're free)

[foggy oriole]

devil

[sly harness]

Yato alter check

[quick steppe]

nah we fr said "the interesting one"

[foggy oriole]

barometric says hi

[quick steppe]

and its the "pick every good op since 2022" one

no whimsy

no joy

who is using bubble for sent

is5 is the interesting one
to the point we got to see first class squad in tc7

[foggy oriole]

I've seen a fair number of bubble picks in tournaments if they got spare hope

[quick steppe]

might be old then mb

[inland elbow]

Bubble is really old tech lol

[foggy oriole]

bubble is ancient yeah

(maybe even outdated)

[inland elbow]

You had to max invest cuora and bubble for the case where you got the 4* hope reduction + random promo relic

So that if one of them got random promo'd ur ed2 solve was done

[quick steppe]

is5 you also have giga 5 stars tbh
agents tin man amiya for everyone (and a 2nd frd for ed5)
greyy2 is very good even outside of rumble
the rest are mostly class squad picks from there(krooster, shamare, ashlock, quercus,bassline, etc.)
and then the really evil technology picks like bp start first class and the evil shifters(feater, mint, etc.)

full box means lots of variety in is5 😊

unlike every other iteration which is converging on one goodstuff comp 🤢

[foggy oriole]

is5 I kinda like somewhat less than is4 because the pathing is so incredibly predictable

[sly harness]

[quick steppe]

diagnosed with lamp

and even then i feel like it's alright
i do miss migrate

but

i guess for lamp there's a point there

pretty fixed tempo

[foggy oriole]

talon makes it interesting

fr

[sly harness]

In IS5 you actually need to optimize stuff a lot because you actually need to scale to win. In IS4 it is just about draft because you can win relicless anyway

[foggy oriole]

the spice in talon is the "oops I just refreshed regular army into regular army"

[sly harness]

It is so hard

[inland elbow]

There's operator guides for is3, 4 and 5 fyi

They note most of the notable low rarity ops to raise

https://is-central.github.io/is3-mizuki/operator-overview/

[rich thorn]

[desert brook]

tech tree upgrade?

[foggy oriole]

I mean ente isn't dead dead

[rich thorn]

[desert brook]

[rich thorn]

[sly harness]

After Exu2 playlist

[foggy oriole]

simply wait for wangsadel

trust

[rich thorn]

srurely we will make wang/trag playlist

[sly harness]

True, you can compile the list of Wang relicless clears form Bilibili 🧑‍💻

[desert brook]

at least you can fix this with salter cuz the freeze prevents talismen from blocking skill use

so its quite a bit more bearable

[faint rampart]

bless the poor soul who will be making is4 playlists when is6 dlc2 is around potentially is7 too

[rich thorn]

sorry lukas

no nasti mod3 fast

[rough pilot]

Can someone how the stage “beyond mount and sea” is even conceivably possible

[rich thorn]

trust choked me

🚬

[desert brook]

the cars pick up the enemies and then move to the right side of the map

[faint rampart]

https://youtu.be/MD5atqRDa6Q

[desert brook]

is7 is gonna be so fire

[sly harness]

[foggy oriole]

the gist:
wait for the cars to pick them up, and kill them on the way back with ascalon

[rough pilot]

Wang was a joke in comparison

[faint rampart]

current is6 bro

[rich thorn]

and its is6

we are now at is5

[rough pilot]

Isn’t it 7 if you count fungimist?

[foggy oriole]

no

[rich thorn]

your not gonna believe me

by HG cant cound

[foggy oriole]

fungimist is is1

[rich thorn]

cuz they are fucking dumb monki

[foggy oriole]

which is funny because cc0 exists

but is and ra starts at 1

[desert brook]

yeah

hg try to count challenge (failed)

[rich thorn]

and izumik clearly says theme 3

so

but sui says theme 5

[rough pilot]

How is the black flow not IS7

[foggy oriole]

wait what

[rich thorn]

and their preview of last is shows number 6

[desert brook]

lmao

[rich thorn]

now count with us and find where is 4

[foggy oriole]

[rich thorn]

[foggy oriole]

maybe the true is4 were the friends we collapsed along the way

[faint rampart]

theres no is4 yep, good ending
people schizoed it to cope their comps

[rough pilot]

I am tweaking rn

[sly harness]

[vestal relic]

Spent wayy to much time than needed but damm am i unemployed

[rough pilot]

Nice kettle

[foggy oriole]

to this day I still don't understand how people end up with 100 kettles

[rough pilot]

Unemployment type shi

[foggy oriole]

I don't play is6 enough clearly

like, how do you even dupe this

[vestal relic]

Its a loop in the sui place thingy with ling leisure

[sly harness]

The fun way of doing it (there is also looping)

https://www.youtube.com/live/hNhNOtKZvoE?is=R5WyvWdIyqMSr54K

[faint rampart]

loop guide in pins
you can also do flower to not rely on ling

[vestal relic]

I remember i didnt get the ling but got the flower with aspd

[open girder]

Only 30 left now, yey

[sly harness]

Or just optimize pathing for Wu Shang Shuttle

l*oping isn't fun

[vestal relic]

I didnt know there were other types of looping

[rich thorn]

dont worry

[vestal relic]

Gotta try em out

[rich thorn]

soon d18 players will loop on tourists

🥀

[vestal relic]

The support squad loop is so rng

I kinda dont wanna do it again

[faint rampart]

~~people enjoy level up from weak to SSSSS god hunter manhwas, no surprise ~~

[vestal relic]

Also takes way too long for me

[vestal relic]

👀

[rich thorn]

welp, people choose how they torture themself for fun

like you know

[faint rampart]

playing is4

[rich thorn]

d18 triple ending t3 egg with bans

[faint rampart]

i get it

[rough pilot]

Never heard of “looping” until now

[faint rampart]

you might be in good communities

[vestal relic]

Idk is6 for me is the worst feeling one

Since i dont do past d9

[sly harness]

Here I have a rollback from a 608 collectibles run without looping. Took 4 hours but probably it was more like 3 of actual gameplay and some break

https://youtu.be/QUGkN0BxoBY?is=89Y3j-4YfnKLL4BT

[vestal relic]

Damm how

[faint rampart]

[rich thorn]

but ur with us

[faint rampart]

wha

[rich thorn]

and I can see ISC in mutual channels

[faint rampart]

i meant this guy

[faint rampart]

🥀 no other good source in EN so far

[rich thorn]

akrtubers?

[faint rampart]

hellnooooo

rather quit ak than start following them

[rich thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/heisenberg-yes-gif-861030724025788475

[rich thorn]

srurely there are good players

[faint rampart]

good players when all they do is post their ed1 lamp run mon3 "beeeg" stats

[rich thorn]

lie

[open girder]

I have a question about IS2
Are the Emergency Ops fully random or is there a logic to trigger them? Aside the floor
I'm trying to get the collectible missions but Alpine Visitor and From Afar are just not showing (7 runs looking for them and nothing)

[rich thorn]

there was storn and padr vids with triple endings

on d18

<@&586570970345635868> yay

another skam

[faint rampart]

oh you meant that

[paper notch]

didnt know kai cenat would stoop so low

[rich thorn]

mista beast fell off

now its kai

[nocturne cape]

@queen mural you're hacked

[paper notch]

🙏

[sly harness]

Alpine Visitor is a f4 map
From Afar is a f5 map

In the run in old ISes you usually get 1 Emergency per floor and it is randomly chosen from the pool of maps available on the given floor

[gaunt bay]

Damn its over

We got the kai cenat scam now

[rich thorn]

ur slow, its like 1 week after kai skam appeared

[inland elbow]

There's no way this guy slanders is central and then recs arknights youtube bruh

[gaunt bay]

Hes known slop wcyd

[rich thorn]

surely gonna recommend bilibili for videos

or twitch

[gaunt bay]

If you download bili off app store it autotranslates all text

Poorly, but it does it

Bro you know whats so cringe is that it wont let me type in chinese either

I cant fucking switch to chinese on the chinese website

Thanks i guess

🥹

[open girder]

I kind hoped for it to be like "on floors 1-3 you need to get this Operation thn for sure this Emergency version of it will show on 4" or something

Not just pure rng

[gaunt bay]

Oh nvm its in settings

I may be stupid

The real problem with bili is that by default its gooner bait website

Cant open ts in public type shit

[rich thorn]

dont have that problem, cuz every time Im using it its from tomimi links

[rich thorn]

no slandering, just saying what is central is a group of skilled tryharders, no negative here

[inland elbow]

Twitch isn't any better bro

But yeah bili is decent

Just gotta get past the language barrier

[nocturne cape]

'just' get past the language bariier

trivial im sure

[rich thorn]

srurely its easier if compare to 2020

just need to find good free voice into text program with decent translation

(or buy, but not heavy interested in that to buy software for that)

[faint rampart]

cn beeeg population
just get some

[gaunt bay]

just get :ya:

[rich thorn]

twitch was a 100% joke

[nocturne cape]

youtube is fine

there are quality youtubers out there like Bait1728

if only they do afk guides

smh

[rich thorn]

now he needs to create v-tuber avatar and start streaming IS content

[nocturne cape]

yes

or stronghold

smile

[rich thorn]

too late

ends soon

🥀

[nocturne cape]

we get another season in 2 ish months

[gaunt bay]

wait true

bait vtuber stream

1 trillion is players

yup

[cunning karma]

frfr

[desert brook]

my preschool mandarin aint good enough to watch videos on bilibili 💔

[slate hull]

don't worry, you don't need to comprehend them, just feel what they are trying to convey

[desert brook]

i think if i slow down the videos i might be able to understand it better

[charred lake]

whwn vtuber bait

[remote badger]

i wonder hows his model looks like

[inland elbow]

Yeah sure I'll show up as Nino from Fire Emblem but I'll make my voice intentionally deep

And my vtuber career will last roughly an hour before I get hit by the copyright infringement notice by nintendo

[slate hull]

nintendo c&d is the relic you need to get livestreaming ed3

[open girder]

I'm kinda impressed, it's not as easy as it sounds to lose 30 life points during a run

(at least on IS2)

[gaunt bay]

the secret ending 6 is6

[open girder]

This is it...I can feel it

Hell yeah!! Finally
Only 4 left to unlock and 12 left to acquire

[desert brook]

how much dp you start with in the thief turmoil

seems to be 10

[remote badger]

ware user c?

10

[desert brook]

yeah

[agile spruce]

I want to go to the wonderland and trader, so do I trader then pathfinder, or pathfinder then trader (i've got the coupons)

[remote badger]

is it your second shop

[remote badger]

anyways the angle is shop->pathfinder->bosky

[agile spruce]

[agile spruce]

like third

[gaunt bay]

Meow

[remote badger]

meow

[remote badger]

optional shop then

[grizzled nexus]

Huh, do CN call this IS6 or IS5?

[remote badger]

6

ig

[nocturne cape]

IS5

But they dont usually refer them by their numbers

[remote badger]

so hungwy

[rain bloom]

guide tour 6 and I still avoid this exact map. I swear is harder than yis fight

[remote badger]

its easy

[rain bloom]

fighting yi is easier

[arctic panther]

trader then pathfinder, trader can only path to the top node

[arctic panther]

both are easy

[desert brook]

wrath of siracusa kinda looks like its made with macaroni now that im looking at it

[tidal raptor]

How do I compensate for tequilas weak damage for the yellow king

That’s my issue

[desert brook]

that honestly sounds better than regular spaghetti because the chocolate goes inside the macaroni and it would have a more interesting texture

[tidal raptor]

Lowkey you might be cooking

I would love to try it

[remote badger]

then what the heck r u doing

is this coughing baby vs a literal hydrogen bomb situation

[tidal raptor]

I’m using Wisadel on right side to target red king with hoshi2, sash1, and surtr helidrop

[tidal raptor]

Man I just overcharge tequila skill to avoid desync

[desert brook]

so its coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

[tidal raptor]

Pretty much

[remote badger]

use wis on yellow guh 🥀

[tidal raptor]

But what do I use in red?

[chrome tangle]

u can opt to not use tequila

[tidal raptor]

Wait crick

[remote badger]

bitch only have like 1k def

[remote badger]

arts dmg

[gaunt bay]

by drafting mlynar instead

[tidal raptor]

But mah wisadel kaboom

[gaunt bay]

solos relicless 👍

[tidal raptor]

I’ll try it dw

[gaunt bay]

wis is kinda a nothingburger in is4

[remote badger]

ceobe could literally eats red if u don't have other caster options

[tidal raptor]

Really? Why?

[tidal raptor]

I got pramanix but her range is ehh for the kings

[gaunt bay]

shes just nothing special

[tidal raptor]

Oh ok

[gaunt bay]

kinda a role compressor and thats about it

[tidal raptor]

I’ll try using mutant then for is4 and see how it goes

[gaunt bay]

shes also uh

24 dp

[tidal raptor]

Sash2

[gaunt bay]

which is ass in is4 because is4 actually has threatening stage opening

[tidal raptor]

Oh yeah

In that case I’ll try mlynar the minute I find someone who does have him

[gaunt bay]

er

[remote badger]

er

[gaunt bay]

were you planning on starting with him

atp just run tequila and use exu2 for damage

[chrome tangle]

i mean

Mlynar E2 can solo Beasts with S2*

-4

runnable

[gaunt bay]

sorry why are we not using s2 there

[chrome tangle]

wrong skrill

[tidal raptor]

Yes…

[gaunt bay]

either way you dont get e2 if youre borring anyways

so

[remote badger]

time to devour birb

[gaunt bay]

just open exu

tequila tank exu damage

shrimple enough

[tidal raptor]

Aight genuinely thanks y’all for helping with is4.

[gaunt bay]

do you have tragodia

[tidal raptor]

Nope

[gaunt bay]

what was your plan for red king

[tidal raptor]

Use my big boy operators and helidrop to chip at health with wisadel shooting him from right side

[gaunt bay]

none of them are gonna go through his def

[tidal raptor]

Tequila would skill overcharge to attack fellow king without desyncing him

[tidal raptor]

Then I’m cooked

[gaunt bay]

red king has 6250 iirc

not sure ont hat but something like that

i think for you red king is the bigger issue

whats your roster

[tidal raptor]

I’ll just send a krooster

https://www.krooster.com/network/lookup/mrvoacodos

[gaunt bay]

hoshi2's good for red

what diff is this sorry

[tidal raptor]

Diff4

[gaunt bay]

oh i mean

most things probably work

id just drop hoshi on red king lane in a way in which she wont block him

and far enough away for her to charge her skill

then just let her go to town on him

[open girder]

Do we know if the increase in difficulty also increases the chances for rare collectibles in stores, loot and etc?

[gaunt bay]

overcharge skill when skill is running out/shes about to die then repeat that a few times

[tidal raptor]

Is there anyone I can use?

[gaunt bay]

borrow ex2 to open, later you can use tequila to tank yellow king and use exu2 to kill

[tidal raptor]

Gotcha

[gaunt bay]

haruka can heal tequila up

thats about it

[tidal raptor]

What about yellow nuke

Excuse me I mean red nuke

[gaunt bay]

thats the point of liberators

liberator cycle ensures that red king's attack always lands in a place where it doesnt hit your setup

you need to time it correctly

easiest way is to wait for yellow king to make 1 loop then drop liberator in the proper spot

do you know where to place

[tidal raptor]

Yes I do

I’m using is central guide for reference

[gaunt bay]

okay

so

[tidal raptor]

Oh yeah then yeah I get it

[gaunt bay]

as long as you follow liberator cycle

it shouldnt be an issue

[tidal raptor]

Nice

Genuine thank you so much

One last thing, how do I avoid health penalty

[gaunt bay]

health penalty?

you mean health loss on deploy?

or

the ed4 lp drain

[tidal raptor]

Yes that one

I can tackle the other two penalties

[gaunt bay]

you need to get the ending relic

if you want to avoid ed4 penalty you need the other ending relics

you can trade in other ending relics to not have the penalty

[tidal raptor]

Oh gotcha

Welp time to redo my run

Oh yeah s2 for exu2 right?

[gaunt bay]

yeah

[rain bloom]

time to fight yi in d6, I'm scared 💔

[desert brook]

put raidian on s1 and you wont be scared anymore

[white mural]

Trag + raidian + gravel shouldn't have problems yea

[rain bloom]

I can't believe I made it wth

[white mural]

Why are you surprised

[paper notch]

gg

raidian s3 on this stage is like the worst of all worlds

[rain bloom]

every mob started to leak i thought i wasn't gonna make it

[paper notch]

no damage and no tanking

sob

[rain bloom]

but I won thanks to raidian s3

[paper notch]

i would've said "in spite of it"

[rain bloom]

ulpianus, silver and saria were tanking

[paper notch]

i mean if it works it works

[rain bloom]

so is s1 better in this stage?

[paper notch]

i personally run s2. with a couple of relics and or tongbaos, raidian can dps this guy down just fine. some people prefer s1 tho to block him instead ye

[white mural]

It keeps yi locked up on the top side just fine

[paper notch]

if you are running trag, trag + some frd can deal with the boss completely anyway

[open girder]

Only 17 left! 🔥

[gaunt bay]

shouldnt be scared anyways its d6

[digital wyvern]

New to is2, what is boons, what path should i take here?

[arctic panther]

boon is just wish fulfilled in other is themes

[fickle jungle]

Like wish fullfilled

[quick steppe]

avoid the gambling tbh

[digital wyvern]

Does elite hr dispatch letter

Have temp recruitment guaranteed

??

[arctic panther]

i thought you were talking about a different voucher

[digital wyvern]

Like should i take an elite recruitment voicher

Even tho i got no hope

[arctic panther]

is6?

[rain bloom]

after is6 which IS would yall recommend me to play next?

[remote badger]

4

[rough thorn]

4

[grizzled nexus]

So, in IS6. In F1, which one is better Wish Fulfilled or Encounter?

[remote badger]

encounter

[rough thorn]

why encounter? doesnt wish fulfilled got you an early boost if you hit a good relic from it

[remote badger]

wish is shit in is6

[rough thorn]

and encounter not? its basically just gamble , if you hit the good one it got you lp,ingot, or hope, but if not shit be telling you to spend lp and hope

[remote badger]

yep

[rough thorn]

and its not like all the endings need encounter node as requirement

i hate encounter node , hoping it was something good , instead it be telling me to spend my hope and max hope

[fickle jungle]

Words are that right now encounters are very high value
So good that hg nerfs encounter value in dlc2 by adding more useless encounters

[gaunt bay]

meow

[remote badger]

meow

[crystal niche]

f1 encounters are usually good man

especially the +2 coupons one

[rough thorn]

huh is that so? might check it later

[rough thorn]

i got like 3 runs or more i couldn't remember, where it told me to spend some shit , ig i just unlcuky

[gaunt bay]

how was your day

[remote badger]

winning

[earnest shuttle]

Yummy Humus

[foggy oriole]

bruh til ed4 phase 2 has a bottom lane

I fucking

hate how long this ending is

2 hours ahh run

how did we go from IS taking 20 minutes to IS taking 2 hours

within the span of about 4 years

I can't even do a run in the middle of a lunch break anymore

[sly harness]

f1 encounter doesn't require you to spend anything else than Ingots (and it is only in 1 which will give you temp 5*)

You are most likely thinking about Legend node ("encounter" but in Bosky where for 2 Hope you can usually get some good collectible, and if you encounter this node with 6 Candleguests it will be free - generally you should leave Legend nodes for later because many of them give better stuff if fulfil some conditions)

From the f1 encounter pull most of them aren't great but you can roll the Bear fight and the EM variant gives a lot of EXP - with it you will hit lv4 on f1

[foggy oriole]

2 coupons and some life are nice as well

definitely better than the shit we got from is1 through 5

[sly harness]

IS2 encounters are so bad

[foggy oriole]

my only gripe with is6 encounters is the later combat ones feel outright unwinnable

like what the fuck is that middle pillar stage bro

[sly harness]

IS3 is kinda hit or miss, it has some good ones but then there is shit that reminds me of IS2, prom 5* or below, 3 Shields, etc. And you can roll the same multiple times

[faint rampart]

20 mins IS

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

[foggy oriole]

my best time in IS2 was 19 minutes

[sly harness]

Nah gimmick thing, draft check they aren't bad

[faint rampart]

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

[sly harness]

Here I have one clear with gvg

https://youtu.be/34q8PJ1o8ow?is=qnW9m_EwFdV3hMaX

[patent harness]

is it worth buying anything here ever

[sly harness]

But generally draft Hoshi or Exu and gg

[foggy oriole]

granted is2 speedrunning is just hope you get 1/1/2/2/2 combats in each floor

and hope you don't get any 3+min long stages

[foggy oriole]

very worth

[sly harness]

Woodwheel is very good

[foggy oriole]

my hoshi dies before she even gets skill

no initial sp = dedge

[sly harness]

Iirc S2 on the blue box when they are moving out is the play

[foggy oriole]

huh? s2?

[sly harness]

But it IS6, there you scale to win, you are not playing it relicless

[foggy oriole]

am I scaling too little

honestly I might
