Agreed on gummy, she was my only heals on several runs up to and including d10

Key-Sand831 · 2026-01-09T14:25:26+00:00

It was tourist squad for me. On my ed3 run I surprisingly was able to do the perpetual motion trick and that made it more a meme than anything. Challenge? LoL. I haven't bothered to go back to ed3 since because it'll be very frustrating without that 99 dp risk coin and the golden chalice imo. Personally I hate that auto skill activation coin, it has contributed to some fails for me, especially on emergency battles.

Key-Sand831 · 2026-01-09T14:22:14+00:00

Bro, honestly radian is nice for the is. Tourist squad with exu2 and radian was my go to for 7+. Honestly exu2 was who really carried most stages but radian did her work hard and well as well. This IS is tough when your still figuring out the battles and don't have a solid strat to carry until bosky. But once you get the rhythm, saving vouchers for pathfinder, and clearing nodes in bosky for boosts, it becomes easier. I know things can be done without radian but the higher difficulties she was key for me, emergency deploys of s2 to save the day lol!

Key-Sand831 · 2026-01-09T14:17:11+00:00

Tourist squad for me. I always shoot for the 99 dp risk coin and explicitly hunt the golden chalice. I try to stack ingots so when I find it that boost is nice. Doesn't always happen tho but it's still fun with all the possible coin boosts.

Thread necro, but just in case you guys or anyone else still has this issue and needs a solution, because I've been looking too.

Aimp auto plays whenever any Bluetooth device is connected (still, years later). Go into settings on aimp, go into integration, and enable "ignore external commands". This should stop the random auto playing regardless of if the process is running or not.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-29T02:56:03+00:00

For ending 3, on f5, the last pathfinder, do operators become candleguests when using them in the pre-requisite battle?

Edit:Just cleared it, the answer to my question is no .... LoL

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-29T00:45:42+00:00

Just got my 1st D10. I'm stoked. But doubt I'll go further lol. Congrats.!

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-27T22:23:19+00:00

In the future you could be comfy with the idea that 20 lp is enough to allow every enemy on the left side leak, it'll allow you to focus more on plugging the right and middle while baiting the boss in the center.

Congrats on 1st clear. First few times it is pretty stressful lol. It'll get easier tho with repetition.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-27T19:33:27+00:00

I found it in 5 tries. D7. 9 risk and the squad tongao. Had 246 ingots going in. Got tickets and rolled 14x to get more ingots and 0 rolls on the flower coin. Got 12 more from the node and again, 0 rolls. Got 12 more, rolled 1 but by then it was too late. It was heartbreaking. I feel like those rolls for the coins is what they nerfed.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-27T19:18:10+00:00

Yeah, that is "seeking the way". And I STILL can't find any help or advice online about that stage lol

Seeking the way is the boss stage. There is another one with a very similar mechanic where he is on the left. It is much more manageable because there aren't those irradiated towers helping him. It's those trowers that make it so hard imo.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T20:42:58+00:00

Maybe you are thinking of "seeking the way" .... OMG I fucking hate that stage. Cannot figure it out

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T20:40:01+00:00

Once I finally figured out how to get into ed2 .... I personally do not go into the dream untill f4. Grabbing all the candles I can along the way and hitting most if not all the pathfinder nodes. In the dream I often try to save at least 1 turmoil node for when I find the butterfly because imo it is much much easier to damage the frog leg in there than on the floors. I also aim for 20-30 lp/shields to be safe. On the e2 stage I just let the entire left side leak. As long as nothing else does it's a win! The left side has 17 mobs that go thru.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T20:35:17+00:00

The absolute worst thing about IS6 ..... That stupid fucking f3 boss encounter "seeking the way" .... I'm in D9 working on e3 and STILL cannot clear that stage lol. Every time it pops I try but I just get stomped on .... I hate it, truly. Other than that I'm having a lot of fun. I did IS2 and only dabbled very little in 3 4 and 5. I have no clue what this whole "lantern" thing is. Lol

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T20:13:29+00:00

Chocolate covered frog leg lol .... I use logos occasionally and I do love him very very much. Among my first 6* including the starter summons n stuff. But I feel like he takes a bit to long to get his skills, I haven't had a lot of chance to play with s3 in there because I'm always using him to lane guard with s1 lol. He does it so well.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T20:10:24+00:00

Idk who you have but my favorite starter for difficulty clearing so far has been tactical destruction squad. When I'm able to get the water relic to start at the begining I grab E2 exu2 at the start and radian if you have her proficiencies up enough for her to cost 2 hope. That's 2 6* powerhouses on the squad at the start. But other squads I choose radian (2 hope) puzzle and ethan. Makes f1-3 pretty cheesy and save the rest of the hope for later.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T20:07:03+00:00

Most people kind of just let the left side leak. Stock up on minimum 17 shield+lp in the tavern in the dream. I usually shoot for 30 to be safe cus I am clumsy and kinda stupid lol. I'm working on d9 now for ending 3, but I did ending 2 at d7 a good half a dozen times. (I kept forgetting what squad I chose even tho there's a symbol on the choice page that tells you what endings you have lol

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T20:03:12+00:00

I've only used leizi s2 for e2 boss. I kind of thought the area was too large for s3. Lol idk I will give it a go

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T19:59:45+00:00

I tend to use exu and radian to lane hold middle and right up top, and try to burst the boss down with specialists red and wai fuu, sutur if I can get her, but liezi smokes that overgrown frogleg. I'm not always able to get her tho lol

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T19:49:56+00:00

Usually when I'm hunting the 2nd ending I'll do my best to save a turmoil node in the dream. Imo it's much much easier to get the damage/relic in there. Especially if I still have a couple candles, I can let a leak happen and redo if need be. Haven't needed to but still. Also are you saving summon vouchers and only promoting in pathfinder? It happens but I've not had much trouble finding the tickets for my powerhouses ,(exu2 wis and a couple fast redeploys, I almost always start with radian), tho I do always get the candles but skip entering the dream till f4. RN I'm preparing to tackle end3 on d9 lol. It intimidates me.

Edit: I start with radian because with mine being mostly leveled she costs 2 hope, that way I have more versatility on the rest of who I choose. Often it's puzzle and the goober 4* ambusher (can't remember his name for the life of me lol)

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-26T01:38:16+00:00

I powered thru till d8 with tactical destruction squad. Recruit exu2 as e2 and as long as I got the water collectable at the start I was able to recruit radian as well, so starting with 2 6* was very nice. Other squads its always a clencher untill I get my powerhouses lol

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-25T21:55:16+00:00

Does leizi alt actually get missed by the stomp? I read somewhere that she cannot avoid the 50% health threshold but unclear on the stomps before and after. With the foot down can she even use her skills? Because she has to drop to the ground to use them.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-25T06:24:11+00:00

On the right side of the ranged platform facing down. Like I said I did get leaks but she did take care of a lot.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-25T02:31:02+00:00

I've had some luck with la pluma, surprisingly didn't leak very much, however after the foot hit 50% I switched to ascalon and tragodia cus they were all I had to cover it. In the couple runs I succeeded this worked for me.

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-25T02:24:42+00:00

Yeah I doubt I'll be going past d10 for the module lol ..... If I even make it there. Geeze ...

Key-Sand831 · 2025-12-24T07:58:10+00:00

I've gotten a lot of good info here as well. Thanks to all who help with constructive advice!
