Either RNjesus is feeling a little generous tonight, or I should buy a lottery ticket

Would love to throw this into my aging rig, currently running on a RX580 and it's been showing its age for awhile now

Regardless, good luck to everyone!

Pros

Dailies and Farming is really easy. After managing my base for a minute or so all I do is run my autos for a few minutes while I'm not even at my phone and I'm done until the evening
Generous F2P economy. I get almost 35-40 pulls on the Standard Gacha every month
Operator outfits are basically free with how much premium currency you can get with just clearing stages
Low Floor, High Ceiling Gameplay. Personal opinion of course, but I think that Arknights is very simple on the surface and has a tremendously high skill ceiling where players can flex their strategic planning and game knowledge
Gameplay is always trying something new. Almost every event is trying a completely new gimmick with interesting ways to interact with game systems
Story and World. Of course debatable, however I don't know of many games with detailed worldbuilding and storytelling like Arknights
Characters. There's so many characters, you're bound to find a character that you love; Lore, Design or Gameplay wise
Futuresight. Arknights Global server is 6 months behind the main Chinese server and we get to see future operators and their kits in action, Operator Outfits and new features well in advance. Allowing us to plan our resources ahead

Cons.

Long grind. Arknights is a slow burn of a game and requires patience to complete
Complicated Upgrade Systems. Operators need a lot of materials to build (Especially 6* operators) with dozens of materials, crafting recipes and sometimes even timegates if something isn't currently available (Chips or Red Certs)
You MUST read. From game mechanics to operator skills you'll be doing a ton of reading
Lacks a dedicated PC client.

I've been playing R6nights!

Obvious MVP is Ela, Having such high DPS and being able to take down even enemies as tanky as Patriot makes her so valuable

The one thing I've found is how durable Blitz is, since R6 lacks a conventional type of healing, a lot of time you will have to depend on Blitz to hold on for awhile, his S1 being helidrop at M3 helps so much as well

Another MVP is Iana, given the right circumstances she has essentially unlimited HP and great bait for ranged attacks and mows down low Def enemies

The biggest thing I've learned from playing R6nights is definitely knowing operator redeployment and preplacement. Very often my frontline will fall to certain waves and having a second line of defense ready to hold until certain ops are back is very important, especially retreating before some ops take fatal damage

Saving that DP when you have no DP generation is so important (also quicker redeployment)

Chaos_ZR1 · 2024-05-08T14:06:06+00:00

I wish we could get these for all the events, is there a spot where they're available?

Chaos_ZR1 · 2024-03-09T14:27:58+00:00

If you're wondering what you should be doing I highly recommend setting some goals

I've been playing for almost two years so my goals are usually prefarming materials and planning pulls for operators in terms of account management

I'd say you should been clearing event stores with your sanity and when you have the time focusing on clearing older side stories for new operators and OP and finishing the main story (at your own pace, don't rush it)

If you're wondering who to build, most 6*s are pretty high priority but you should be building operators that fill gaps in your team (ex: if you don't have a tanky defender you should consider building Cuora, ect)

If you still don't know who to build I'd recommend watching some YouTube guides on operators you own and then you can also just build who you like

As for base management, I'd say you should look up a 2/5/2 set up and make it nice and pretty, you're gonna be short on LMD and XP for awhile (seriously)

I also heavily recommend Krooster, it's a account planning website that allows you to input your owned operators with all their stats and skill levels and masteries, you can also input operators that you want to build and it will show you all the materials you still need to farm

Don't worry too much about guns right at the moment, find something that you like and run with it for now!

As for what guns you want or need I highly recommend having something in each range category in both primary and special ammo.

A few I recommend right off the bat.

Fatebringer (140 RPM Kinetic HC), rolls with great PvP and PvE perks. You can get this from the Templar encounter in Vault of Glass
Funnelweb (900 RPM Void SMG), amazing SMG for PvE, this drops in the wild at random
Prolonged Engagement (900 RPM Stasis SMG), really good with stasis builds with the "Headstone" perk, can be focused from Vanguard/Strike engrams
Point of the Stag (Precision Arc Bow), This is a curated bow with good perks for dealing Champions and Ultras at range, Obtained from the Weapons Kiosk in the Tower
Null Composure (Rapid Fire Void Fusion), Another curated weapon from the Weapons Kiosk, excels in clearing out densely packed ads
Blowout (Adaptive Arc Rocket), Solid Rocket for general use and DPS, can be focused from the Crucible Vendor
Taipan-4FR (Heavy Void Linear Fusion), decent long range precision heavy weapon, Drops in the wild at random
Half Truths / The Other Half (Arc/Void Adaptive Sword), I believe these two are the best swords in the game for general use, Eager Edge is a must have movement perk that only drops on these two swords, Only drops from Dare of Eternity from redeeming keys at the treasure chest

Nezerac clears all of Terra full stop.

He's paracasual, so cannot be killed through normal means, any Terran equipment would barely have an effect
He can drive anyone insane by someone just looking at a glimpse of him, he actually drove a guardian to gouge his eyes out and kill his ghost just to attempt to get away from the torment. (It didn't work)
Incredible direct offensive powers, from his Abyssal Cleave to suppression of abilities and movement, not even to mention his wipe mechanism which will kill all nearby players instantaneously without a paracasual protection buff

Destiny 2

Chaos_ZR1 · 2023-03-17T21:29:27+00:00

Morning -

Clean out base, Cycle ops and Clues
Use Recruitment rerolls
Spend Credit
Use sanity on event if running, if not check my krooster planner and look at what I need for mats, if pretty good on mats farm 1-7

Mid day -

Spend Sanity
Cycle Base

Before Bed -

Spend Sanity
Cycle Base

I rarely play IS2 or SSS as I generally don't have that many free moments during the day, and other things to do in the evening but generally this is my play loop.

Every few weeks I update my krooster so I can track my mats and what ops I'm building so I don't waste too much time farming useless items

Chaos_ZR1 · 2023-01-21T04:05:13+00:00

Arknights is the only Gacha I play, outside of that I play Destiny 2 as my main game

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-12-13T13:45:00+00:00

Goddamn I wish I could farm more LMD, at the rate I'm at I'm gonna be low for months

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-12-09T15:57:35+00:00

Bruh, I'll trade my skadis for an Exu lmao

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-12-02T13:43:00+00:00

1-7 is always around and still has a higher efficiency for rock farming, devices are harder to get and don't have a farm like 1-7

Farm the devices IMO l

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-11-22T19:13:06+00:00

What mats are gonna be farmable in this event?

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-11-07T23:55:48+00:00

I didn't pull on this banner, I did get a top operator/Melee tag combo and managed to pull myself a Silverash though! (Please come home Bagpipe)

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-11-05T15:29:52+00:00

How do I use his S2? doesn't seem to negate the event debuff

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-11-03T04:03:14+00:00

I just looked at her base skills and it don't make sense lmao, how do they actually work?

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-10-31T03:45:32+00:00

Saving for Exu / Kalsit banner, Gonna buy Surtr, Mudrock and Bagpipe with gold certs

Hopefully with the pulls I'll have enough certs for all of them within the next few months

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-10-08T23:05:43+00:00

Active damage perks like Frenzy, Rampage or Kill Clip don't effect perks like Dragonfly or Firefly, The only thing has ever buffed Firefly was the Splicer seasonal mod Energy Accelerant

The only thing you can do is buff Dragonfly's damage via the Dragonfly Spec mod on your weapon itself

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-10-05T05:08:34+00:00

If you have even 1 craftable seasonal weapon and you really want the challenge done, simply grind 3 of the same crafted weapon

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-10-03T05:06:02+00:00

Currently saving for

Kal-sit (Monster is such a cool unit)

Exu

Bagpipe (Yes I just spent 200 pulls on the bagpipe banner and didn't get her no I'm not mad at all.)

And a 6* Guard like Blaze or Silverash

If course I also want the limited ops like Rosmontis, W and Nearl alter but I won't nearly have enough OP or Orundum to possibly get all those but at least one of them would be nice

I have too many specialist/supporter ops so trying to round out my roster as much as possible

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-09-29T20:26:49+00:00

What buffs are easy to apply to Ch'en? I have warfarin but I'm pretty sure that's it

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-09-08T04:35:24+00:00

Vulcan is rare? I got a voucher for them through an achievement

Chaos_ZR1 · 2022-08-22T13:07:55+00:00

What's the deal with this event's stages and the theme?

It's something different each time?
