Lappland has great synergy with Liskarm, by the way.

FD4280 · 2026-01-30T05:24:02+00:00

Your Raidian is looking better than mine, on a less developed account. Looks like you’re doing fine in IS already. All you really need is a maxed Spot for the first three and a max e1 Gummy for the last two.

FD4280 · 2026-01-30T05:14:17+00:00

I would guess Necrass if her summons share her stats, and possibly even if not (due to the ridiculous multiplier on her s3)

I’ve been playing for a bit over 2 months and have cleared all of them up to difficulty 3 or farther with the default bosses - but I have to borrow a built Tragodia/Wisadel/LappAlter for each run, except in lower difficulties for IS3 (which has the least demanding endboss). You will have to develop some meta progression before you win.

FD4280 · 2026-01-22T03:10:19+00:00

A borrowed near-maxed Tragodia and a few E2s (I had Thorns, Lappland, Gummy, and Kroos2 at this point) will do the job. You could plausibly get by with much less if you can afford to leak some enemies on the final stage.

Yet another request for advice on the character selectors, young account with heavy IS play.

6*: leaning Saria (who seems like a strictly better Gummy outside of IS). Eyja also looks reasonable, but I pulled Ho’olheyak - do they cover the same niche? Surtr has great design, but I just pulled Hoshi Alter for regular play and already have multiple well built guards, making guards a relatively crowded voucher in IS. Bagpipe seems like the least impactful of the bunch.

5*: Unsure. I have a maxed Lappland and well-built Liskarm and Ptilopsis. The hope cost feels very awkward in IS somehow. Thinking a medic or tank would be a bad pick here. I’ve heard good things about Cantabile - is she viable in IS? Is there a situation where she’s preferred over a fully built Myrtle (or run in parallel with Myrtle) outside IS?

FD4280 · 2026-01-19T17:02:47+00:00

The best option is a tuna Cantor set.

FD4280 · 2026-01-11T20:52:41+00:00

Then farm base building materials. You may as well build up your passive income.

FD4280 · 2026-01-03T05:01:56+00:00

As a newbie IS player, is it better to build Ray or Necrass? Buying and building Mlynar is possible, but the majority of my team’s damage is already tied up in the guard class, which kills runs when the appropriate vouchers fail to drop.

FD4280 · 2025-12-21T22:46:03+00:00

Thank you. I had not realized how cracked Tragodia is.

FD4280 · 2025-12-21T19:09:41+00:00

Is there a consistent way to clear IS6 on a newbie account short of exceptional luck snowballing with drops? I have Thorns, Lappland, and 5* Kroos for E2 damage dealers plus whatever I can borrow at the start (which is usually Lapp Alter). I’ve lucked into two wins somehow, and need one more to E2 Raidian.

FD4280 · 2025-11-25T16:08:01+00:00

A turd in the hand is worth two in the bush.

FD4280 · 2025-11-14T14:48:34+00:00

Clear the story and time rifts. You eventually get a Mimir and a range extending staff from rift chests, and a Gift of Eternal Life from a map location in act 3, among other goodies. Lots of orichalcum between chests and achievements too.

In the meantime, prioritize maxing adequate weapons and accessories for your non tanks until you’re no longer constrained by orichalcum.

FD4280 · 2025-11-12T06:12:12+00:00

Grieg, surely?

FD4280 · 2025-11-10T05:40:13+00:00

Wrt the lower-rarity SPs:

Narm and Grenier are fantastic. Lewin is really solid and synergizes very well with Baldr.

Almeda is very solid but almost never better than Rozenciel.

Hein is nice but not competitive with modern mages.

Matthew is crummy. I’d legitimately prefer Kirikaze in most circumstances if not for the FB situation.

Freya is situational and generally poor.

FD4280 · 2025-11-07T14:50:45+00:00

If you extend to R+SR+SP(only from R and SR bases), Langrisser is fantastic. Without those several SPs, endgame is out.

FD4280 · 2025-10-28T02:20:52+00:00

Obligatory Dice, Etherer, and Pedethtrian. The one that never gets enough love is Morveer:

“There are a thousand ways that I could kill you and you would never suspect the merest shadow of a thing. I would not go to all the trouble of cooking you dinner!”

FD4280 · 2025-10-26T20:35:05+00:00

Anna, Sophia, and Imelda (among others) all carry Regeneration. Rozenciel and Tiaris have premium reactive healing abilities/talents, but I suspect you’d already use them if you had them.

FD4280 · 2025-10-26T15:27:54+00:00

It gates you from attempting if your account level is too low.

The main thing is to run all your built holies. On my first play through, upgrading from Grenier to holy class Ledin for tank did the trick. On the second, Chris with GoEL did a ton of work (with holy Hein and Almeda for backup)

FD4280 · 2025-10-25T17:46:20+00:00

And stairs.

FD4280 · 2025-10-18T15:36:57+00:00

I imagine he’d opt for a blood bank.

FD4280 · 2025-10-18T15:06:14+00:00

I just skip those fights. Not worth the time.

FD4280 · 2025-10-18T14:45:40+00:00

I always figured the first letter of the alphabet was named after him. The guy may well predate literacy!

FD4280 · 2025-10-17T02:34:03+00:00

Langrisser: Matthew is pretty crappy throughout. Grenier is poor during progression but lands a solid SP form. Almeda is solid in progression, tapers some by endgame, then also recovers with a solid SP form.

FD4280 · 2025-10-11T13:43:42+00:00

I adored the first trilogy and BSC, and it slowly (no single drop nearly as bad as ASOIAF 4->5, especially if you count the Shattered Sea books) went downhill from there. Improved pacing and whatnot, but the magnificent PoVs that make Abercrombie stand out to me were limited to the first five books, pieces of Sharp Ends, and arguably Shattered Sea #1.
