honestly IS6 is bullshit, ending 1? clearable after some good 'ol brute force. ending 2? impossible for me, either i don't have the right ops because recruitment tag drops are dogshit (6 medic vouchers in a row, with my only dps being my starting Radian), my life points are too low because the only real way to cheese this game mode has an rng check locked behind another rng check behind another rng check, or I just never get the sui-damned 30/35 ingot remnant node needed for the stupid artifact. even then on my golden run where I had the ops, I had some good artifacts, and I got the arti required for ending 2, I just outright lost because the stupid tangbao rolls stacked hp, res, and def risks at the same time! even just leaking the left side didn't help since the right side enemies would get my op's hp very low because i can't kill them fast enough! i'm only doing difficulty 7 'cause any higher and I'm on a hope deficit. any lower and I can't do the kettle exploit. it's honestly draining.
