[faint rampart]

[quick steppe]

I love health stacking

[flint token]

Well it aint easy

[quick steppe]

I’ll finish the run later 😔

[flint token]

Oh right i should finish my is3 run too

[sly harness]

(There is some lore behind it but I don't remember)

[flint token]

urghhh it’s a fucking forced lflb

blerge

[earnest shuttle]

is that cat penance

[gritty monolith]

my god this yi guy giving me suprise in the face lmao

[quick steppe]

okk
I need to draft more ela

but my phantom…

[earnest shuttle]

:3

[sly harness]

For NM Exu + Wis/SM clears

[faint rampart]

use tragodia

[sly harness]

For EM SA won't work

[gritty monolith]

i have exusalter, wisadel,pram alter, silverash alter, typhoon, smh cannot break his shield?, idk how to do it lmao

[gritty monolith]

i wish i have him

[quick steppe]

huhuhu

[faint rampart]

yi has a shield :susge:

huhuhu

[sly harness]

Don't deploy on the black/white tiles

[gritty monolith]

yes, how to break it lol

[sly harness]

He won't have a shield

[gritty monolith]

oh really 💀 , so if i just didn't deploy any ops there he does not have shield

[sly harness]

It has like 100% of his HP but only lasts 15 seconds or something like this

[faint rampart]

can always borrow for smoother experience

[faint rampart]

new knowledge wow

[gritty monolith]

i need to borrow wisadel

[faint rampart]

you dont

[desert brook]

ive noticed yi sometimes gets a shield but i never bothered seeing how it works cuz it just goes away in a bit lmao

oh it only blocks phys damage too

[rustic spade]

How broken is reading

I could never

[desert brook]

reading is op

[gritty monolith]

oh so thats why my shot is basicly nothing as if my ops shooting at lin

[sly harness]

I only remember that my Raidian S2 was able to break it and kill him in 1 skill cycle

[gritty monolith]

man i get bomb to bits by thoose ghost he summon

[arctic panther]

at the very start of phase 2

[sly harness]

And after that I got curious how much HP this shield had

[arctic panther]

you wont if you keep yi at the top

the liangs are tied to yi's position

if he's at the top, they're at the too

[gritty monolith]

yes i can see it, probelm is he move

[desert brook]

just dont let him move

[gritty monolith]

if you say tragodia, i don't have him

[earnest shuttle]

deploy rat

[gritty monolith]

🤣

[desert brook]

raidian

[arctic panther]

https://tenor.com/view/just-use-hoshi-alter-arknights-hoshiguma-the-breacher-hoshiguma-gif-5835382110433958611

and raidian s1

and gravel

and basically anyone that can block

[gritty monolith]

i might try it, i not bother to get raidian in that run

[desert brook]

raidian s1 permastalls yi

[faint rampart]

📝

[gritty monolith]

allright i try it tommorow, man i have ben being stuck in guided tour for so long lmao

[odd spire]

does any1 have the yan operator spreadsheet?

[odd spire]

ty

[earnest shuttle]

[desert brook]

how do i even get the other spine? if i retreat amiya and redeploy her does she have enough time to kill it

[quick steppe]

catastrophe

[earnest shuttle]

u dont

[quick steppe]

not much you can do

[desert brook]

[sly harness]

Don't play Archetto (Ros would stall)

[rustic spade]

Tragodias cat would get both

[sly harness]

Is Amiya e2?

[desert brook]

yeah

[sly harness]

For Catastrophies bring Caster

[desert brook]

ohh

yeah that makes sense

i forgogt s3 has increased range

[sly harness]

Her S3 is close to one cycling the spines

[faint rampart]

🍝 vs🍜

[desert brook]

normally i would disagree, but uhhhh, i kinda forgot (im doing the cursed relic deep investigation)

good thing i have e2 ros at the next floor

[desert brook]

rolls 1

[faint rampart]

im pious

[rustic spade]

Why must hashtag help give advice about things they dont know about

[earnest shuttle]

[static merlin]

I have both spinach and chocolate pasta, should I run Sakiko on s1?

[quick steppe]

probably not

s3 too good

[rustic spade]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1287981429963100281/1423895108712927334/IMG_5956.gif

[sly harness]

Surely her projectiles are too slow in the first place

Also the spinach/pasta synergies are 95% fake

If the skill wasn't good it won't be good

[cunning talon]

s3 charges quickly too when buffed

[static merlin]

should I run archetto on s1 then? I dont wanna miss both the relics but I also want s3 to charge Sakiko s3

[quick steppe]

also no

you just accept that the relics are not doing anything I think :(

[rustic spade]

But my 6 digit damage ros s1

[desert brook]

no because of what lukas said, the projectiles are way too slow she doesnt get any bonus

[desert brook]

draft silverash s1

[fading wind]

Where do you obtain this?

[arctic panther]

deep investigation

[desert brook]

idk where it s hows up normally

but this is where i am

[faint rampart]

take over it and cure it

[errant siren]

Also D17+ upon reaching 3rd Floor.

One gains randomly.

[faint rampart]

👴

[faint rampart]

wavebreaker>bedrock?

nvm Its obvious

read that as -50%hp

[desert brook]

whats it actually, is it -30% hp like the is2 version

[quick steppe]

wavebreaker yato 👀

[sly harness]

The IS6 meta with minus redeployment time

[exotic tangle]

what's the strat for end4 is6 again

[quick steppe]

anything

[exotic tangle]

also what nodes do i take

[quick steppe]

use ur fav op

[sly harness]

Scale and kill

[quick steppe]

just blow it up because you have 200 relics

[rustic spade]

I can only help with is5 related stuff (the content that really only matters)

[desert brook]

works cuz theres no hard hp check like bear right

[arctic panther]

you can even solo with frostleaf

[desert brook]

i remember picking up -30% hp -50% rdp time relic in is2 and got obliterated by bear

[exotic tangle]

end 4 is uh

f3 lost and found?

or sth

i forgor how to get there

[long tundra]

Brokenblade? Yeah I can imagine.

[exotic tangle]

[desert brook]

yeah brokenblade

[arctic panther]

first trade node in bosky

[exotic tangle]

damn

[faint rampart]

die alive shaping every newbie's acc to be 245t3able

[exotic tangle]

i'll just gamble bosky f4

[arctic panther]

then send only 1 op into the scroll in a scout node

[exotic tangle]

also how do i send ops to fight in end4

[arctic panther]

scouts dont appear f5 iirc

[arctic panther]

f6 bosky

[arctic panther]

doubt nodes in it let you scroll ops

[exotic tangle]

wait this isn't is5

i don't lose all my ingots and shi

with this right

[earnest shuttle]

no this isnt petal

[exotic tangle]

wait

[arctic panther]

[desert brook]

lmao

[earnest shuttle]

yep shes in there until ed4 boss fight

[quick steppe]

gg

[exotic tangle]

this run is like

1 month old gng

[earnest shuttle]

mon3tr is not that mandatory to have in a ed4 run anyway

[exotic tangle]

do i do a f3 rob

[faint rampart]

prolly not

guaranteed item on second shop visit or something

[exotic tangle]

truly a wild decision to ship mon3tr

anyway who do i get

[quick steppe]

purestream

medics are all 🐛

[exotic tangle]

rejected

who else

i have 19 hope

there was a node that could randomly x2 hope ingot or coupon

unfortunately i didn't land on hope

[sly harness]

Amiya

[exotic tangle]

how about guards

[sly harness]

If you really need to use Hope

Leizi

Ente

Młynar

[exotic tangle]

good choices really

[sly harness]

This is IS6 right?

[exotic tangle]

i don't have the above 2

yeah

crazy acc i know

🥀

if i din't waste my rolls on leizi i could have gotten SA alt

but fuck this

so either the lightning tongbao

or the option in candleguest node?

[sly harness]

Or the second option in Face-Off

[exotic tangle]

well

🚬

i have 0 coupon

and 46 ingots

so i take mid ig?

[faint rampart]

my knight shall not persist

[sly harness]

Kroos start... Wtf

[faint rampart]

you do not see my ice slash slopper

[exotic tangle]

what happened

[sly harness]

You need to e2 him to do more then just supporting a DPS

On e2 he would carry

[faint rampart]

borrowed 🥀

[sly harness]

[faint rampart]

yes thats why!
not having him in this IS kinda ruins experience

[sly harness]

No hope for the second 6* by f2?

[sly harness]

it makes stuff harder

He is very good and often quite forgiving when it comes to mistakes

[faint rampart]

prolly didn't
3 encounters f1 encounter maxing as usual

[exotic tangle]

is3

[sly harness]

How very principled (but also suicidal with a start like this)

[exotic tangle]

damn it's been so long i forgor what is3 encounters ahve

[faint rampart]

dont you love to see big aoe slash go boom
+The freeze control

[sly harness]

They are surprisingly not the worst

[arctic panther]

nothing, nothing, and more nothing

and endings

[exotic tangle]

🧘‍♂️

[earnest shuttle]

and frozen immune + self healing

[sly harness]

You can roll a complete shit but Homecoming carries runs

[rich thorn]

almost same tier as is2 and a lil bit better than is4

[exotic tangle]

pramalt s2 or s3 chat

[arctic panther]

what stage

[faint rampart]

ggnod

[rich thorn]

is5 saved by rhodes gate and all kings

[sly harness]

Nah IS2 are the complete dogshit

[faint rampart]

my speccast frd dream actually becoming viable

[rich thorn]

[exotic tangle]

end4

[exotic tangle]

ture

one needs to fight more

[arctic panther]

s2

[rich thorn]

fuck is4 encounter

[exotic tangle]

if you encountermaxxing your run is dead

[rich thorn]

for that em 3 ufo jumpscare

[exotic tangle]

same with is4

maybe it

[rich thorn]

[exotic tangle]

maybe it

maybe it's all just fighting

[rich thorn]

nah

still need 1 l&F and 1 scount

and 1 encounter for ed4

[exotic tangle]

is option 2 harder

[rich thorn]

nah

[exotic tangle]

or is there lightning on my ass

or sth

[rich thorn]

it feels like same

just makes ops candleguests

thats all

[earnest shuttle]

same thing but deployed operators get candled

[exotic tangle]

not e2 right

[rich thorn]

good for bells

[exotic tangle]

well ig i can candle exu

[earnest shuttle]

then someome has to carry her

[exotic tangle]

i believe in unc

🔥

[rich thorn]

exu2

[earnest shuttle]

🚶‍♂️

[exotic tangle]

how ass can this be chat

[earnest shuttle]

these 2 are tanky but not too hard

[cunning talon]

I think you can reroll the bosses too, but that would be a gamble

[exotic tangle]

pray for unc

[earnest shuttle]

depends on ur relics

[rich thorn]

im not gonna bet on mly here

[exotic tangle]

unc carry

not even close

ye of little faith

[cunning talon]

Maybe raidian would’ve been a better carry

[lusty halo]

shall i take red path or green path?

[exotic tangle]

1 ground 1 ranged

exu is locked to ranged

wait

[cunning talon]

Oh, nvm

[exotic tangle]

i only get unc anyway

lmao

🧘‍♂️

unc carry

[rich thorn]

you kan place eh

ines

[sly harness]

Usually just two combats (with EM), save coupons for later

[rich thorn]

[exotic tangle]

she's e1

[rich thorn]

or wait

[exotic tangle]

what's she gonna do

[rich thorn]

why the fuck you fight hardest ver

[exotic tangle]

tickle the boss?

[rich thorn]

in face-off is6

[exotic tangle]

mroe rewards

[cunning talon]

[exotic tangle]

is only d9

[lusty halo]

oh okay, thanks

[exotic tangle]

[rich thorn]

easiest usually better

cuz 2 tongbao choices

[earnest shuttle]

high risk high rewards ahh

[cunning talon]

Trust me bro ahh

[rich thorn]

not when you can get cocoon or bosky from it

[exotic tangle]

[exotic tangle]

wait

what

lmao

what are the options

[exotic tangle]

🚬

[earnest shuttle]

I guess place unc next to objectuve point then protect him with exu2 s2 but dont keep the skill on

[exotic tangle]

very good relic

[exotic tangle]

unc with the overcharged relic just kill both

bosses don't do shite

[earnest shuttle]

[rich thorn]

tongbaos usually better

play tourists squad

play healthy game

[exotic tangle]

reject to*rist

enjoy bureau

[cunning talon]

Wisadelrot it

[earnest shuttle]

does he knows ?

[rich thorn]

nice nerfed tianshi

[exotic tangle]

whatever do i not know

[earnest shuttle]

dlc2

[exotic tangle]

🤮

[solar falcon]

are quilon boats air units

[earnest shuttle]

yep

[exotic tangle]

who do i pick

or throw this

[rich thorn]

trag

all gonna say trag, sorry

[vagrant tiger]

Trago or Haruka, preferably Trago

[exotic tangle]

tr*g

[arctic panther]

trag

[paper notch]

i think astgenne2 looks cute

[exotic tangle]

what does this do again

in bosky

[exotic tangle]

she looks dead tired

[sly harness]

Angelina

[exotic tangle]

[sly harness]

Angelina was so good pre dlc1

[exotic tangle]

ew imagine gilberta

[sly harness]

[exotic tangle]

also i have the

[sly harness]

The dead game mentioned

[rich thorn]

sorry, still alive

[exotic tangle]

supporter + guards start with coupon talisman

so uh

[faint rampart]

wasn't fangyi patch omegadead or something

[rich thorn]

surely we will get collab with endfield

[sly harness]

[exotic tangle]

anyway

[exotic tangle]

i have 8hp btw

do i try

[rich thorn]

next will be better

with CC

[exotic tangle]

i wish we get gas sooner

[exotic tangle]

natural gas apparently

it only appears within an oil reservoir

[paper notch]

the things i'd do for fangyi

[exotic tangle]

so

🦅

[exotic tangle]

the things i'd do *to fangyi

[paper notch]

??

[paper notch]

ayo

[paper notch]

oh man

genuine ass the way the handled it

🥀

[exotic tangle]

i'd forgive the first CC ig

since cc beta was really not balanced

i still have FEater pot 5 s1m3

the real gacha

so ig they do need player input

[solar falcon]

does this keep eating inspirers after it gets maxed

[rustic spade]

nope

[solar falcon]

cool

[exotic tangle]

is f6 is6 locked

or randomized

[rich thorn]

?

layout?

[exotic tangle]

ye

i'm thinking f5 rob

biblical greed

[rich thorn]

its always have 1 shop and 1 pathfinder

[exotic tangle]

damn

so not yet

[sly harness]

[exotic tangle]

it's always good to rob

[sly harness]

ed3 has 2 shops

[exotic tangle]

i understand gta player now

i'm on end 4

[sly harness]

The thing about rob in ed4 run you need to be careful about is that it takes place after the special Bosky and sending your ops for ed4

[fading wind]

Damn another failed attempt

[sly harness]

So you need to keep something for rob

[oblique pecan]

oh, is that is5?

[exotic tangle]

ooooooh

so i rob f5 then

[fading wind]

Ed5 amiya

[exotic tangle]

[oblique pecan]

oh, ive never touched is5 good luck man

[sly harness]

You can, you will still have most of your ops then

Although if you scaled properly rob with 1 or 2 6* units + some 4* isn't hard

[quick steppe]

only 1 frd is suspicious

but maybe with agents it’s copeable

still draft a second frd anyway

also draft less bugs
the Lappland that does nothing

[oblique pecan]

about ed3 for is6: is it better to wait until like, floor 5 to do the prereq stage?

(I got fk'd over by Wang's bead things, no good ground ops)

is it even possible to wait till then to do it, or you need to get it done by floor 3/4

[rich thorn]

yep, its possible

[sly harness]

But if it is t1

[rich thorn]

you just do pathfinder battle, and thats all what you need to unlock next battle

[faint rampart]

pfless f5

[sly harness]

f5 is where you usually should do the prereq, and the be buffs won't be that impactful

[sly harness]

Like 1% case

[faint rampart]

principles man

[exotic tangle]

i also have this btw

[open girder]

One last run before going to bed.
This is the one, I can feel the collectibles coming home

[snow python]

How long does average solo ending(ending 1 or 2 as they are just 5 floors) is4 and is5 runs are? I remember that some of this is faster than all other iterations

[oblique pecan]

so you can just wait till the absolute last second on floor 5 then? cuz i just got a new butthole from that battle

[quick steppe]

solo ending is very quick

esp below normal difficulty

you could probably slop a d15 is5 run in like 20 minutes

maybe less

[snow python]

Oh, so it is IS5, thanks. And it is only IS3 having longer battlepass than others currently right?

[quick steppe]

think so ye

[sly harness]

IS4 like 30-45 minutes I guess
IS5 10-15 minutes

[exotic tangle]

should I

[sly harness]

If you have nothing better to do

You will get some resources from it

[exotic tangle]

there's still 1 more shop

[sly harness]

Shop has better value

[exotic tangle]

ture

[sly harness]

Or Tavern for guaranteed stuff

[rich thorn]

????

LAMP???

WHERE IS MY WISH

[exotic tangle]

which do i take

[exotic tangle]

you didn't believe

🥀

[rich thorn]

this run

its 5th refresh

and still no wish

fukin f4 without spear

[exotic tangle]

wait

is this because of end4

[rich thorn]

yes

[grizzled nexus]

Oh damn, didn't know that this squad can drop this voucher, though this one is painfully rare. Wonder if Sui Regulator Squad can drop this voucher too.

[sly harness]

[floral plaza]

Guranteed temp no way

[graceful oyster]

Wo can solo is6 all the way

[sly harness]

Raidian

And also anyone because you can win a run without ops at all

[sly harness]

stalling, peak gameplay

[severe oasis]

stall

[sly harness]

And no ed5

[inland elbow]

Avg is5 gameplay

[muted skiff]

good harvest ?

[sly harness]

+2 max LP when obtained special effects in Safe House

[muted skiff]

oh that coin

[sly harness]

Although this run was becoming ass after e2 Kroos2 missed all crits when opening the rob

[late pecan]

Crit rng as usual

[inland elbow]

Cantas fault tbh

-3 seconds

[sly harness]

My canta is max pot

[inland elbow]

That's like 5 kroos2 shots!

[sly harness]

Surfer is like p3

[inland elbow]

A poverty issue too

[sly harness]

I should start picking Kroos S1 in those awkward opening situations

[inland elbow]

Kroos s1 is so fake ngl

Did you combine pledge?

[sly harness]

No

Was Fractured though

I had the damage so S1 shouldn't be bad

And is up faster

[inland elbow]

Fractured shop rob is pretty ass

The sp messes with kal in particular

And 20% unconditional attack debuff

And the dp ofc

5 extra krooster shots!!!!

More actually, should be 9

Since you probably deployed canta into kroos2

[sly harness]

Yep

[inland elbow]

Can't blame krooster for that one

[sly harness]

But I also had like an extra 70 ASPD

So the shots weren't lost

And she still frauded

[inland elbow]

Idk how much time you lost overall tbh

You don't pause deploy either right

And no surfer

[sly harness]

Still she didn't ctit even once

This was recoverable thought

[inland elbow]

Broke people not allowed

[sly harness]

I had like 1.5 Industry

No ed5 in 2 encounters on f5 killed the run

[inland elbow]

Classic

Fwiw I almost always rob with just rumble+lance now

M3 makes it a lot more consistent too if you get her

So I do f2 encounter like half the time

[sly harness]

I was very behind with medics vouchers

I was spammed with Snipers

[inland elbow]

Lobster too buttery

[upper anchor]

How hard is ed3 compared to ed2 in Is2?

[inland elbow]

Jobber

Bring some dp gen and some ops who you can redeploy to nuke stuff around the map and ur done

[sly harness]

I had all 3 core snipers on e2 on f2, and then I rolled 2 more sniper vouchers in the f4 shop

[inland elbow]

So here's where you unban wis

If talons players can use trag

You can use wis

Trust

[upper anchor]

Guess I'm screwed then xD

[upper anchor]

Nvm, easiest ending ever

[inland elbow]

Ed3 in IS are consistently on fraudwatch

[rich thorn]

buuuuut is4 sentinel exists

[sly harness]

No he doesn't in 65% of your runs

[vestal plaza]

my first attempt on ed3 is not what i expected

[arctic panther]

let me guess

clarity?

[steel relic]

she has cloud and paint already

[late pecan]

Jianzi Shrine

Is that Floor 5 or 6

[arctic panther]

5

[vestal plaza]

i lost on yi

[late pecan]

Alternate Yi?

[vestal plaza]

couldn't nuke him as expected

not enough damage

[steel relic]

alternate is ed4

not 3

[late pecan]

Oh

Thats interesting

U even have Tragodia stall

[vestal plaza]

i leaked 10 on clarity lmao actual jumpscare

[upper anchor]

Tragodia alone can't stall Yi

[late pecan]

They have all of the ops as above

Raidian included

[vestal plaza]

i was so confused when wis turned proc'd her skill then just fucking

deactivated it??

[sly harness]

But with Raidian he can easily

[late pecan]

Is this to do with lowered SP cost but auto cast skills?

[steel relic]

auto skills doesn't deactivate them no

[arctic panther]

i assume its the balls

[late pecan]

Oh, deactivation. Weird

[sly harness]

They may have deactivated it by mistake

Like had this coin, wanted to turn the skill on but turned it off instantly

[vestal plaza]

i'm pretty sure i just deployed her and never looked back because i have dream of curio

[late pecan]

Deam of Curio my beloved

[vestal plaza]

which made me kinda confused when she only did 1 boom and nothing died and then her skill's just off

[sly harness]

Dream of Curio known negative effect

[vestal plaza]

so i just assumed it's a balls thing

dream of curio doesn't deactivate skills tho

[late pecan]

Weird

[rich thorn]

prob you didnt saw she was on 1 ammo

and forgot to deactivate to refill sp for next skill

[vestal plaza]

this could totally just be my brain is so fried that when i see wisadel just failing to kill anything on the field i just assume something is wrong with the game instead

[sly harness]

[vestal plaza]

i'll try again later

[rich thorn]

its like, with all ammo units

[vestal plaza]

this time actually stalling yi instead of relying on dropping a nuke

[rich thorn]

need to remember what you can turn their skill off on low ammo instead of using all sometimes

[rich thorn]

[late pecan]

Kroos go brrrr

[rich thorn]

bruh

[late pecan]

Yu oneshotting them mobs. Is this to do with a relic that deals 50% extra dmg to these specific type?

[rich thorn]

im tired from d18

also, it feels like erudite is fine on f5 without shop rob

but class squad is 💀

[sly harness]

Depends which class squad ig

Sniper/Medic ed2 no chalice is fine

Although you still can die in Bosky if you roll f6 stages

[arctic panther]

no its ling loop

[late pecan]

Ah yes. The ABUSE is real

[grizzled nexus]

Tried Ling Loop before DLC1 and don't want to try it again. It's an absolute chore doing it...

[bronze vale]

This is so bad wth

[sly harness]

It isn't that bad

[slate hull]

isn't that just geek, but more geek

[sly harness]

The only bad part about it is that you won't be able to use the 20% SP recovery buff from her module without medics

So you will need an extra ~4 seconds to cycle her S2

[bronze vale]

It doesnt matter i dies on the next operation

[sly harness]

What killed you

[bronze vale]

These thing that when i killed it,spawn an another enemy that adds to your block

[sly harness]

Sanguinarch's Legacy

Very annoying without a second 6*

[arctic panther]

very annoying early on in general

[sly harness]

Although recently I found out that Exu2 + Wisadle with S2 cycles were well there

[bronze vale]

Too bad i bring exu2 and not wisadel

[sly harness]

You need both

Exu2 + Trag / SA2 also are fine there

[dusky helm]

Hi! I've been working on fully completing IS-4's Deep Explorations- I'm really stuck on Focused Epic- I'm having trouble killing the bosses- I think I've done like 20 runs and I only got to the final boss once and I couldn't clear it...
I've tried units like tragodia, exu2, thorns.. but I can't seem to kill the end of the stage bosses ;_; can you guys recommend units you've used? Should I be using more fast deploys or something?

[bronze vale]

Just use exu2 but with more relics

[dusky helm]

LOL like actually? Should I go for the squad that gives more collectibles into the lamp that gives more wish fufilled?

[sly harness]

Something like this

Wisadle + Lamp speedrunk works fine

[quick steppe]

slop 🥀🥀🥀🥀

[bronze vale]

Ofc man,more relic more power but if you got golden chalice you could have a better chance to win

[sly harness]

It is slop because these deep explorations are slop

[dusky helm]

okok thank you! I've been so stuck on this one specifically these fricken elites just one shot my tanks

and I'm homeless

[sly harness]

Also do you know about boss damage taken reduction and his other mechanic?

[dusky helm]

or not elites- the bosses at end of stage

uhh are you talking about the actual last boss?

[sly harness]

Only boss has increased stats

[sly harness]

Yes

[dusky helm]

o_o I think the boss at stage 3 also has increased stats- exu2's entire mag will do like

[sly harness]

Bosses in this challenge have stats (HP and ATK) x5

[dusky helm]

🤏

[sly harness]

Basically comparable do d18

Okay it may be all boss enemies

[dusky helm]

I don't think I do- I've usually just stalled with stuns or slows and slowly chipped until he died ngl..

[sly harness]

But anyway still the last one will be the problematic one

[dusky helm]

yeah... I got him to phase 2 and then my board went boom

[sly harness]

So the boss has damage taken reduction when he has stored attack (30% for each stored attack) so to deal damage to him you need to consistently bait his attacks

Her stuff like Beanstalk or some bodies are very helpful

[sly harness]

He reports everything after entering the second phase. Before this happens you should retreat everyone and have someone in backup to break the "coffins"

The teleportation messes your setup a lot and you would want to avoid it

And you can stall the boss with a body with high HP or RES (he will deal like 5k Arts per stored attack), if you don't let him store them crusher guard with a medic should block him

[dusky helm]

ahh ok yeah usually ill leave a sniper or smth to break the coffins

ahh okok! thank you!!

will try again later

[flint token]

Wait

Record keeper is kinda cracked wtf

[buoyant beacon]

Tin Man goated coffin remover man

[flint token]

hmm nvm he’s not as strong as i thought

still pretty impressive

[buoyant beacon]

Who? Tin Man or Fremond?

Both fit the descrpition too lmfao

[arctic panther]

record keeper

[buoyant beacon]

Ohh

[split void]

Playing D5 in friend acc . leaked close to everything in this fucking stage

I think I have not met this stage much and never perfectly cleared it

[crystal niche]

Purestream better

And cuter

[crystal niche]

Is raidian not e2?

[split void]

She is E2

[quick steppe]

not drafting virt might have helped 😊

imagine if it was tragodia instead

[split void]

Free man

[undone finch]

Hello! I’ve started trying to push IS (committed to completing at least the first difficulty of IS6 since I’ve gotten to the boss) and I’ve just finished skimming the guide. I’ve been suggested to level my 3/4* operators, and I see that 6*’s seem to be recommended sparingly, but what about 5* operators? Are there any suggestions within that category or are they generally avoided to save hope for 6*’s?

[split void]

[quick steppe]

oh free nvm lmao

[split void]

Geexu and Saki E1 there

But like. Why is this stage so annoying

[quick steppe]

like everything else about them they're stuck in a weird limbo of "better than 4* but not worth the cost"

[split void]

[desert brook]

fisherman alt stage?

ive never gotten this stage before i think

idk how to get the alt stages for f3 bosses

[remote badger]

somewhere in the pins of this channel

[split void]

Like. I am kinda not new here. I cleared D15 with multiple endings and strat

I thought this should be not so hard

But the boss is killing every ranged. And my melee not doing enough

True I can't remember the last time I met this stage

[buoyant beacon]

It's just normal in IS no? Failing stage you don't know ball about

I only see this stage on D0 and D15 tho, nothing in between lmao so it's fucking impossible if not D0 atm

I don't even remember what run to you lmao

[undone finch]

Ty to you and mango! I’ll re check the guides 🙏🙏

[charred lake]

how hard is is3d18 without exu wis and trag

[buoyant beacon]

I mean, missing one might be smth, but missing 3 of them sound like an impossible challenge

[split void]

Is3 ?

[charred lake]

ia it cuz the enemies are bloated to wtf levels

[split void]

D18 was there when these OP not out right ?

[buoyant beacon]

Not sure about Wis

[charred lake]

yesnt

[split void]

[charred lake]

it was after or during th 5

tn5

yea

[buoyant beacon]

The dalaos is sleeping? I am here to read shit bro not to not answer the question

[charred lake]

wait

2024

b4 wisadel i think

[inland elbow]

it came out after wis

before exu and trag

[split void]

So It should be clear-able during the time ?

[inland elbow]

to answer your question, not that hard since there's plenty of other good ops

idk why you'd do it though, it's not like you've played so much is3 that you want bans to spice it up right

[charred lake]

i didnt play is3 like crazy

only up qo d18 and ed3

i can say ts is so damn ass

[inland elbow]

plays banning the best ops

"why is this mode so ass"

[crystal niche]

[charred lake]

still wan do it cuz i saw quite some runs and felt wis exu and trag r pretty much always used

[crystal niche]

If there's an ez choice why not

[charred lake]

so i decided to see if the stages r beatable w/o em

[crystal niche]

[charred lake]

yea

mb ill do it after ed4

cuz my ass keeps relying on them

[charred lake]

real

the op bans were an after thought tbh

cuz i had to pick cores for some endings

that i didnt manage to snag the 3

[muted skiff]

highroll ?

[nocturne cape]

Highroll.

[chrome tangle]

what does pram do

[buoyant beacon]

Break people armo- nah she PRAY for their armor to break

https://tenor.com/view/plis-dont-let-my-ass-gif-13520942

[chrome tangle]

the res shred gonna go crazy

[frank glacier]

is this a bug? raidian summon deals no dmg until it blocks the guy, only then it deals dmg

[nocturne cape]

Stacks kjerag

[muted skiff]

when this guy in duel mode , both you and him will reduce defense

[frank glacier]

oh... he is just too high def? lmao ok tyty

[chrome tangle]

yes

but also raidian outside of IS6 😔

[crystal niche]

imagine raidian for 6 hope

LMAO

[frank glacier]

first time using her outside of it, i think she is still busted compared to ling

but maybe i remember wrong, havent used ling for years

[inland elbow]

That's because ling sucks

[warm stump]

Is Nasti acceptable in IS? I'd imagine it would make taking niche operators such as Ifrit much easier, not having them be useless half the stages

[remote badger]

niche

[inland elbow]

Nasti isn't really drafted often in IS at all

You'd rather draft 2 strong ops than nasti + one op enabled by nasti

[frank glacier]

pretty sure ppl were saying she was very good back in is2 era

[inland elbow]

I'm ngl even back then, she was bad

She worked for normal because she stat checked everything

[crystal niche]

[inland elbow]

But hard mode she got dumpstered so badly bro

Same with thorns

[warm stump]

Ok yeah understandable.

[muted skiff]

irrc pram module makes her do cold on hit

maybe gnosis build

[karmic iron]

keep farming also blueprint lamp strat the goat, cutting clearance time quite much

[arctic panther]

def and res debuff + random chance of cold infliction on hit(with mod), and also cute

[minor agate]

Btw are the IS after 4 easier? I thought it was suffering in 3 but just getting to the end of a run in 4 is rough for me

[faint rampart]

6 is p easy rn

[arctic panther]

it depends on if you take the easy routes in 5 and 6

[arctic panther]

if you dont they're challenging, but with their respective 'easy route' (lamp of wishes for is5 and ling loop for is6) they're basically free

[minor agate]

ok cool

I don't have a lot of current operators so going back to 4 was rougher than even 3 at the beginning

[cursive verge]

That was back before we got difficulties, aka is2 only had d0

[quick steppe]

and d0 is jobber so wcyd

[crystal niche]

I am now uncovering the wonders of yato

and sa2

[chrome tangle]

IS5 is pretty easy

just lamp ooga booga
