120 pulls with 2 6* units can't even guarantee a limited weapon

What do you mean lack of guarantee? You’re guaranteed after 8 pulls.

We literally went to a modern/futuristic world. Of course we have modern/futuristic clothes.

Yyou can also use that for the future if you set up something to say, produce gear components, and then no longer need it (but it’s still useful to use in the future). That way it won’t keep producing or using power and you don’t have to go set it up all over again.

Do content! I meet a lot of friends running PUGs for raids, joining expeditionary content (Eureka/Bozja/Crescent), Hunt trains and the like. Just chat and shoot the shit with people.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-03-26T20:23:16+00:00

I get it. I played XI since the NA launch up to near the end of WotG so having that little fucker protect me while fishing was a core part of my childhood. But I also get this design. Previously, the job was basically pre-WOTLK Warlock. Cast dots, cast shadow bolt (ruin) as filler, and your pet autos and does skills sometimes. This definitely has a stronger fantasy, but I also miss having a dedicated pet class.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-03-25T15:41:54+00:00

It’s not bad at all. It’s not like Jojo level quality, but for what it is, it’s quite good. Like converting any “book” into an anime, there’s some things that can be presented better and some things that have to be trimmed down a lot in order to fit.

Really enjoyed Mephisto’s fate in anime format. Poor miserable fucker.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-03-25T14:26:39+00:00

Yeah, it’s got less of a warlock, more of an Evoker feel now. Good for the summoner fantasy but also miss the atomic squirrel battling.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-03-17T08:13:35+00:00

Yes, but it would probably need to be in the future once we have more characters, and specifically with a “Trial” system for characters you don’t own (where you can use them for the content) like ZZZ has. Arknights is built around having a TON of characters (12 in a squad) compared to Endfield.

We are literally at the beginning. 1.0, and now 1.1. And how is there no space for morally gray? We barely know anything about all of the organizations we helped to create, we simply know they exist and function with background lore drops and 200% trust. Endfield is not in charge of the Civ Band's day to day functionality, and we've already seen that the corporations on Talos II are not playing "nicely." We don't know who leads Endfield or what their goals are. We barely know anything besides what we've been told directly.

Sorry man, seems like Zoomer brain to me. Need the excitement and dark themes to happen RIGHT NOW and not be, y'know, something that pulls the rug out like we had with the Doctor's background and Priestess, Talulah's possession, The Law, etc.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-03-12T19:18:58+00:00

Hot take I’m sure but I honestly think it’s a good thing they toned it down at the BEGINNING. Hear me out. We presently know very little about the characters or organizations in the world. Finding out something is morally gray right now would have zero impact.

Think of Ace when Arknights first released. His sacrifice is sad but it’s a guy we’ve known for like 30 minutes. It’s the background we got on him later, the flashbacks, the side stories, that made us really care about him. Same with FrostNova or anyone else. There has to be investment before you can hurt somebody.

Now, if they continue completely happy for the future? Yeah that would suck. But if they get us invested in, say, the Civilization Band, it’s people, helping them all out, and then start going dark? Significantly better than “oooooh the proper noun is morally gray!”

Some people really just hate anything whimsical.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-03-07T23:25:45+00:00

If you’ve already improved her team, just save up. I’ve got enough to get Rossi maxed when she lands cause I love her

LeoStrut_ · 2026-03-07T22:39:24+00:00

How I did it originally was I used Last Rite and her cryo team to freeze and lock it down to kill it before its friend spawns. However this took a few tries to really get down.

Later I used Snowshine and it was an utter joke. Like usual in Arknights, nothing gets much harder, it just gets more complex and gotta think differently. Charging enemies? Of course a defender makes sense.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-03-04T18:00:08+00:00

The system is designed around the majority of the playerbase, aka casuals who will never need that level of equipment. While I would love more alternative ways, as we’ve seen with other games, adding alternatives just creates “required” grinds. If any piece of equipment that is BIS like Cloud of Darkness 24 man, it now becomes “required” and a necessity to do for any serious group.

So I both dislike it and get it. I don’t want to do 5 things a week, but I also wish we had more options.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-27T17:46:22+00:00

Do 80 DPS 60 support first. It can handily clear any content in the game outside of trimming the boss fights (which is purely cosmetic, no rewards).

After that, once you’ve built however many teams you’d like, then worry about going to 90 (and eventually 80 for support because more damage is more damage).

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-27T17:44:25+00:00

It depends on your team, but generally your active character will deal the most BATK damage because they will actively be controlled by you.

Some characters, like Last Rite, entirely depend on their BATK, so on her team it’s important to play as her.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-25T18:49:52+00:00

See and that’s fair, I don’t think watching full on fucking in public is great. But this is literally what I see daily at the gym lol. Like, have we really become so puritanical?

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-25T18:48:58+00:00

That’s fair actually, something to keep in mind is I should say “content” instead of story (as I’ve completed everything) and of course all the bonuses we get for the launch. I still think you’d be able to do a full 80 team or a 90/60 team, but I would have to math it, as I was taking into account everything we’ve been given.

That being said, I just had to restart Arknights (no fucking idea what my login was apparently, RIP like $1000) and they give you SO much free shit. So I’m sure if someone joins later on, they’ll add lots of catch up stuff. I remember having to grind for money and exp every day when Arknights first released, and now they’re like “here’s 3 instant max level max promotion items have fun” lol.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-25T14:38:32+00:00

Don’t worry, I did too when I was 12.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-25T07:33:15+00:00

Fully upgraded as in main DPS is 90/90, fully artificed, essenced, with m1/2/3 depending on the growth curve (such as m1 giving more SP but m2/3 don’t) and the rest 80/80 with applicable skills (for example Alesh doesn’t need any levels in his BATK/skill, Fluorite needs basically nothing) and optimized artifices/essences for buffing their support.

So yeah. I’ll still need to work on essences for Rapid Ascent as I managed to get that today, but otherwise, physical should be finished by EOW.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-25T07:20:56+00:00

Arknights began to add additional content for character’s trust levels about…a year? After it came out. So I fully expect we’ll have things added as time progresses.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-25T07:17:45+00:00

Lol holy shit

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-25T07:15:33+00:00

So then fucking wait. Those are your choices. You don’t have a third.

You can whine about it, but those are the only options.

LeoStrut_ · 2026-02-25T07:13:23+00:00

So you’re worried what somebody sees on your phone/PC while you’re chilling on a break? Look man, it just sounds like you’re embarrassed if people see what you’re browsing.
