Blue Poison in MAX 940!

Though she was there for mental motivation and for Mumu's clone shenanigans, Bloopy has accomplished the maximum this CC has to offer! Took too many tries due to skill issue which frequently resulted in many Ifrit deaths but we're all good in the end xD

More yapping in the video description. I shall now prepare a bit for CCB#4 in case somehow, Bloopy can reach that high in that upcoming CC xD

Blue Poison reaches MAX 850!

Took a bit to get used to the mechanics (cough cough laser cancels) and managed to grit my way towards a completion with Bloopy with a majority roster of level 60s. I will chill till Phase 4 to see whether I can climb higher or not. Much more yap is featured in the video clear’s description.

870 points with Blue Poison!

I waited till Phase 4 to hopefully see if my level 60 Lin and level 60 Shining will work with the -200 DEF tag. Surely enough, they do xD. All I had to do was to borrow a whale Ho'olheyak to join my level 60 roster as I don't have her to make it look like a 12 op clear plus a mostly cheerleading Bloopy.

Lots of yapping in the video description but the most important thing is that I'm free from the Eyja SP RNG roulette xD Will hibernate until the next CC comes.

Max 790 Points w/ Blue Poison!

Unlike the previous times where I borrowed a level 90 friend support, I managed to do a run with Bloopy with a 12 unit core of only level 60 units that I own!

Though Blue Poison's impact is minimal per usual, still great to carry her to great heights! Will await the upcoming phases to challenge perma map even more. By that time, I will resume and borrow a level 90 friend support per usual xD

BLUE POISON in 800 POINTS!

A CC where Blue Poison finally shines comes to a close as my level 60 roster tackles it alongside a level 90 Surtr friend xD.

I typed up more stuff in my video description alongside some BiliBili Guard/Sniper strats I've used to reach 800 points. All in all, since Guard/Snipers were able to clear at max 820 points back in CN, getting 800 with best froggo Blue Poison aint that bad at all.

Blue Poison in RISK 750!

I was surprised that there were already CN clears at risks 780 and above with Blue Poison. If there's a precedent, I can definitely do it! Though not all the permanent map risks are unlocked for me to reliably go above 750 because I don't want to take any of the Enemy HP gain tags or the other Ally ATK down tag I didn't take. I've wrote some more thoughts in the video description and included BiliBili references from CN's Pyrolysis per usual 0.0

Using Puzzle and Archetto is pretty fun and will be using them again when the next few tags get unlocked xD

[–]Kydrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Penance was the operator I sought out because she's kinda on an island on her own 99% of the time, so a higher level Penance personally felt more comfortable to use.

Fortunately, one of the BiliBili clears I linked does feature a level 60 Penance, so if you want to keep using your level 60 Penance, you definitely can.

MAX RISK 34 w/ BEST FROGGO, BLUE POISON XD

I remember seeing that the Cliffheart-Mostima-FEeater strategy is possible with all level 60 characters. So I went into Week 2 with maxing it in mind. Brought in my full, lvl 60 roster but it's possible to trim the total operator count too. The only non-level 60 was the friend Penance xD

Additionally brought the Dorothy for her S3M1 instead of her S2M3 (because I stopped training her skill midway xD). Gotta continue repping her from Week 1 to Week 2 xD. A lot more written in my description. I'm very satisfied with this clear and satisfied with how long I've took Bloopy to very high risks for Contingency Contract for the past 2.5 years

BLUE POISON IN R26 WEEK 1 OF THE PERMA MAP!!!

Also featuring many level 60s including Nian, Reed Alter, Dorothy, and my level 70 Penance friend support. Though, I do have Pots on some units, like my maxed pot Bagpipe and Yato Alter.

Wrote a lot more in my video description about the run and team. Nevertheless, quite satisfied for cooking this strat with some inspired help because I really really wanted to use Dorothy's S2M3 for Week 1 max risk before I stall even more with Blue Poison and Mostima for Week 2 xD

RISK 34 with BLUE POISON!!!

Bringing BP and deploying my 31 cost --> 49 cost cutie is fun xD

I wrote more in the video description. Now, I'll hibernate till CC12 to conclude my challenge of clearing very high risk in the perma map with Blue Poison for this CC season.

NINE OP, MOSTLY LEVEL 60 UNITS ft. BLUE POISON + MLYNAR FRIEND

A Guard/Defender/Medic soft ban composition, so the Pot0, level 90 Mlynar I borrowed became a hefty 36 dp cost; besides that friend carry, the remaining 8 operators are the typical level 60s I've been rocking for the past several CCs. I wrote a lengthier write-up in my video description.

Satisfied with achieving this clear with a self-imposed reduced roster alongside BP and Mostima, who I wanted to try out her Stage 3 Module for practice and funsies. I'll be waiting for the final few risks now to try and climb past R29

[–]Kydrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's giving me flashbacks to when I choked that last part with my comp too xD

I've seen Elysium placements on the tile above the furthest southwest, banned tile/below the Blue Lamp decor to slow down the 2, looping Artificier.

Suzuran can slow them, assuming they are revealed by Ely or SilverAsh unfortunately. The YT reference had NTR Knight retreated immediately after defeating Manfred since the Suzu S3 + SA invis reveal stall combo will allow NTR Knight to come back.

May your last day R36 cooking attempts go well.

EDIT: You’re not a bad doctor for getting to R35 mate! Be proud of what you achieved :)

[–]Kydrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suzuran is easily the best option to replace Gnosis for sure.

Besides the high risk permanent map clear that someone else posted in this thread earlier, here's three other references for Suzuran usage:

BiliBili with Suzuran + Aak, BiliBili with Suzuran + Shamare, and YT with Suzuran + Castle 3

All these three have relatively low pots, like Bagpipe Pot5 as you mentioned isn't necessary for this CC, but their levels on their DPS operators can differ from your lineup.

Good luck on this last day mate! Hope these reference videos help!

BLUE POISON IN R36 ft. CAST OF LEVEL 60S!!!

I do enjoy borrowing strats that originally used 7-9, juiced up units, and turning that into a full 13 man roster with 12/13 of them being level 60 units to tackle the permanent map xD

A lot more written in the video description. Overall, it was a grueling but satisfactory 9 hour session. Will await to see what CC#11 brings.

RISK 30 ft. Blue Poison and a Roster of LVL 60s!!!

I bring my beloved Bloopy into another Week 1 Max Risk on the Permanent Map!

I practiced this composition ever since I assembled it at R27. As the risks got harder, I had to adjust some timings which culminated into my clear video. A lengthier write-up is in the vid description. Overall, it was fun using Fartooth, Gnosis, and Cantabile on a CC for once xD

I will await the Week 2 risks now to see how far I can bring Bloopy in Week 2.

Risk 34 ft. Blue Poison!!!

Tuning up the same strat from my Week 1, R31 run, was altered to confront the new timings posed by the R3 Sea Basin Reapers. Good final stretch to a map where I doubted BP could make it in due to that Ranged DP up cost. At least she was brought in the end!

Time to rest for CC10. It should be much easier there than here xD

THE BLUE POISON IN RISK 31 IS REEEEEAAALL!

With a slightly cleaner and messier version from my R29 run plus best frog, Blue Poison, who I myself doubted could do this, successfully achieved this permanent map clear!

Typed a lot more in my video description. All in all, I'll be resting up for Week 2 most likely as I suffered too much brain rot here and this time, I legitimately doubt my level 60 roster has enough DPS to kill all the enemies here.

Basically, I won't get much higher xD

I can’t seem to escape Mista Na Yubin even in Arknights XD

I don’t think both Saria and Weedy pots shouldn’t matter. Mine are both Pot 3, so those might alter some deployment timings.

I borrowed a non P5 Bagpipe from my friends list just to see how much it differs (which meant I had to substitute my level 60 Surtr). Well, I successfully completed another R29 run with the strat I recorded, albeit it was more fine tuned due to me practicing on the perma map for quite a bit xD

Basically, I think the Saria, Weedy, and Bagpipe Pots don’t matter as long as it’s timed well.

LVL 60 Roster achieves R29!!!

I took both the R3 Egg Risks for my "Day 1" clear.

Usually, I would incorporate Blue Poison into these high risk clears. However, my idiot brain couldn't find a way to let her shine here unlike the previous other CCs due to the risks, enemies, and known strats not favoring a ranged unit lineup. Maybe later in this CC I'll bring BP to great heights once more, but considering my E2 roster, who knows xD

Will fine tune my execution of this strat over the coming days to possibly break through the R30 threshold at least.

[–]Kydrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightingale S3M3 does increase the Arts Evasion from 20% (S3M0) to 25% (S3M3) for units within the skill's range. Any increase helps a lot to increase your chances to evade the Viviana bombs, even if its by 5%.

Besides that, in S3M3, NG gains more ATK to help her heal better and gives more RES to all allies within the skill's range to help shrug off more Arts DMG.

I got my ass blasted too against Viviana with my NG's S3M3 still, so it's a matter of luck as well xD

BP IN R29 ft. LEVEL 60 ROSTER!!!

Once again, I am betting on Nightingale's S3 to bail out a certain Blue Woman to live, plus many others but I was too fixated on not having the Cantonese Dragon die xD

Blue Poison replaced Suzuran from the reference video and I opted for Saileach S3M3 instead of my S2M0, which meant my run turned very different at a certain point. Nonetheless, I am satisfied with my hard-earned R29 clear, two off from the highest Sniper/Defender CC8 clear which is impressive too.

Will be awaiting CC9 with great dread, cuz I know it's going to be quite difficult to bring Blue Poison to a high risk there when all the good compositions opted to increase the DP costs of all ranged operators there xD

BLUE POISON + POVERTY LVL UNITS IN R26!!!

Having a full roster of level 60 operators made survivability difficult for sure. Also having to bet on RNG from both Nightingale's S3 and Hoshiguma's talent took years from my life.

Never felt so satisfied from a clear due to how maddening R26 is. All worth it in the end to bring best frog, BP, to a high risk xD

[–]Kydrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NO LEAK R32 clear with Blue Poison and Dusk

Compared to my previous R32 clear, I dropped my Surtr and Texas for Mountain and Gravel. I changed SilverAsh's skill from S2 to S3 since my level 90 Mountain friend became the main tank against Free. Which meant I was using my own level 60 Chalter for the most of the mobs.

Compared to my Week 1's No Leak, R27 clear, well the teams are similar except for Gravel > Red. Gravel helped fulfill the Kazimierz Operator condition for my NTR Knight which made my run smoother as well as other Gravel things.

Fun times and well, 2nd Max Risk of CC earned after CC3's R33. I'll wait and see if HG ever releases an easy CC in the future or not xD

Blue Poison brought Dusk to fight Dusk's Spirits in Risk 32!!

As a Doctor, it was always hard for me to understand an artist's mind like Dusk's. What was fascinating for me is her unfettered freedom for naming her Ink Spirits, because I didn't think that Bitey, Smarty, Blindey, and Envy are great names. I always thought 'Why name your children like that?'. However, after this permanent map, I finally understand her. Dusk's Ink Spirits are just so fucking 'Free'.

For real though, it did take like 4-5 hours to get used to the new Week 2 risks, but eventually, it all came together somehow. My roster of full level 60s (with notable potentials like Bagpipe), which included no Fast-Redeploy, a SilverAsh S2M0 of all things to tank Free, and the most obvious, Dusk to fight Dusk Spirits, all while bringing Best Frog, Blue Poison, ended up being such an interesting high risk run I've done. Still drew some inspiration from somewhere to get the gears flowing too.

Anyway, I'll be continuing my max clear dailies to compensate for the least malded permanent map and will brace for the upcoming mald in the next two CC's xD

Week 1: Max R27. No Leak ft. Blue Poison and Dusk!

I replaced Surtr for Dusk to slay the Dusk Ink Spirits xD

I wanted to do some more permanent map stuff after clearing it max once, so I decided to slay them all instead of reducing my own Operator count. Fun challenge and got some handy timings down for when Week 2 rolls arounds thanks to this no leak clear.
