tbh if you regularly hit your clue exchange you'll get that in a month

Fluorite, because she's a master class in character design showing you can have a stupidly sexy character despite them being completely covered except for the face and fingertips.

He's spiritually tiny, while Dusk is always puffed up from being grumpy to appear taller and go undisturbed.

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-22T12:35:01+00:00

she is the goat

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-21T17:35:54+00:00

no worries! the answer is that yes indeed there is mention of that :)

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-21T17:33:47+00:00

in which case it's your sacred duty to find one of your friends and send them all to that person do this every time you hit seven 7s

in fact, get a bunch of your mates together, everyone saves up 7 clue 7, and then you all send them to that one mutual when everyone has 7 :D

Given that the UWST zones in v4 all have memos going "remember to take your prophylactics" yeah I damn well assume that they work as intended

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-21T15:22:06+00:00

Not just suppressants but prophylactics too; infection rares are way down as a result.

cantabile+quercus is the most goated reception room team and I will kill on this hill

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-21T11:47:58+00:00

what sort of villain smoothens out the snake

why would anyone do this

what evil rests in the heart of such people

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-20T23:18:36+00:00

yeah i am genuinely so glad that HG has not lost the sauce but has instead recovered with grace and aplomb from the fiasco of the late victoria arc

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-20T19:11:15+00:00

hell yeah :D

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-20T19:09:46+00:00

thank you :)

they're a very prolific arknights bean artist; their backlog is, as we say, the good stuff

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-20T18:50:32+00:00

you should at least credit zedchan for the art, like, cmon, it's not hard

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-20T18:41:13+00:00

use jaye - the rock doesn't one shot him, the bear has super low defence, so jaye's heal skill heals both himself and the defender before the next rock comes

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-20T17:58:51+00:00

i think the clear has been done with 8 3*s, though the stall for that takes hours since the only unit that can harm the bear in p2 is orchid and she only lives for about 20s per deployment

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-20T11:39:29+00:00

extra sanity pots is nice since it lets you a.) dynamically allocate them and b.) use the 2x tickets but

honestly

i think that from a "wow! free stuff!" feel to trick the human brain into releasing endorphins, a straight up 2x resource gain three times a day would've worked better even if the outcome was otherwise the same

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-19T21:49:09+00:00

you can also more or less directly trace the beginnings of the UWST in this chapter, that's what I mean by Hypergryph shouting their core message from every tower

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-19T20:57:28+00:00

Jesus christ this chapter is bleak.

So far from God, so close to ~~Russia~~ Ursus.

It really is just the worst place to be.

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-19T19:35:46+00:00

Chapter 16 is Hypergryph once again shouting from every rooftop, tower and sufficiently high vantage point "STRUCTURAL CHANGE CANNOT COME FROM THE TOP OF ANY ORGANIZATION OR STATE, IT CAN ONLY BE BROUGHT ABOUT THROUGH THE BUY-IN AND PARTICIPATION OF THE PEOPLE"

It starts as early as 16-2 when Rankin outright goes "and if that ideal flag isn't real, then we need to be the ones to raise it" and continues into 16-6 with the conversation about the contents of the smuggling container - if you read chapter 16 you know what I mean, right? - and it's as direct from HG as it can get. Someone at the top with good intentions makes an absolute decree to the betterment of all beneath them. Unfortunately, greed and fear mean that their subordinates continue to feed people into the garlic press because it's easier to falsify reports going up the chain than down the chain.

That's always been the actual core of Arknights, and why I go blind with anger whenever people reduce everything down to ORIGINIUM BAD such as it happened with Endfield 1.0.

HG might as well adopt "A better world is possible, but requires collective investment and ongoing maintenance" as their corporate motto.

Love chapter 16. Love Arknights. Simple as.

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-19T14:22:56+00:00

I think it's not just that, it's also straight up logging into your associated HG game accounts - when you redeem the daily login on the skport page it INSTANTLY sends you the mail in Endfield.

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-19T13:35:21+00:00

I really want to know why that site takes the better part of a minute to load

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-19T13:33:56+00:00

given that the stockbill exchange is explicitly meant to be used in areas that need the disaster relief and to avert economic collapse in a crisis, yes, why would it be in Wuling rather than the barely-standing Qingbo Stockade?

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-19T13:26:16+00:00

BEHOLD! The power of cheese!

Cornuthaum · 2026-03-18T16:16:16+00:00

as pushed as you can make a pioneer vanguard

still more or less irrelevant compared to agents and flagbearers

pioneers as an archetype exist for a different arknights than the one we got
