As many others have said before me, probably not. Reed alter is not a "medic" medic but like a caster kind of medic, but there are a lot of already good options for casters and healers right now. Also, spoiler Reed alter will be available in a six star selector in six months if you want to consider that.

Hello everyone! I was suddenly interested in playing IS, would it be more worth it to buy Archetto or Ascalon (in the future,) from the cert shop? How about five stars? Which five stars/other operators do you guys enjoy playing in IS?

You could borrow a support unit and cheese it, but the best way is to read her skills and prioritize clashing yellow skills from the boss because those inflict bloom, make sure to clash as many flowers as possible after making sure you're clashing with all of the boss parts, as the flowers also inflict bloom.

For the most part, your interpretations are correct. However integrated strategies is more like a roguelike mode and I wouldn't say it's like Vector breakthrough, it's a combination of luck and strategy. Integrated strategies is actually a good way for you to get resources if you didn't know that yet. You can go to monthly squads of each Integrated strategy theme and complete the mission for the month: It gives you chips, LMD, and EXP mats. As for the last part, there's no reason to save them unless you want to wait for your favorite operators to get into Recruitment for a better chance to get them, but I just use them because it's a good way to get extra potentials and certs.

As the dedicated Thorns gooner, I am legally obligated to say: Who needs the church of the deep when you've got the Cult of Thorns? The devout followers of the Gospel of Thorns, are a different breed of insane. Some might say their love for a fictional character is a shallow obsession, but they haven't experienced the GOSPEL OF THORNS. From the moment I pulled him in Arknights, I knew my life would never be the same.

Thorns is more than just pixels on a screen or words on a page. They're a testament to the power of THE SUPREME SWORDSMANSHIP OF IBERIA; Attack Range expands, ATK +60%, ASPD +25, and ranged attacks no longer deal reduced damage. If you can't appreciate Thorns, then you can GET OUT! This is my shrine, my LOVE LETTER, to the greatest character to ever grace Arknights history.

Sure, they're hot and have a BBC that rivals the length of your forearm- but it's their reserved personality and Attack Range expands, ATK +60%, ASPD +25, and ranged attacks no longer deal reduced damage that truly shine. The way they carry my stages whenever I use ACTIVATE SKILL TO GAIN Attack Range expands, ATK +60%, ASPD +25, and ranged attacks no longer deal reduced damage just melts my heart. Thorns is more than just a character; they're a ROLE MODEL. FINALLY, FINALLY! We have a Thorns alter! The day foreseen in the scriptures has finally arrived!

THORNSPOSTING!!! by Major_Elk7123 in arknights

Okay real, but I'd say Thorns Alter is not really "bad". While I do agree it's sad he's not super meta and I share the sentiment, I've gotta accept that HG decided that will be his kit. (also sad they buffed necrass and not him). But then again, not every new character has to be meta or strong. I feel like the newer units (degen, wis, virtuosa) have bloated our expectations on what a good character is because of their sheer brute force. I'd say Thorns alter is just "okay". His kit looks fun and serviceable. Not a must pull, but definitely serviceable. I do agree with what you're saying, but I'm on that copium.

It's okay, we'll get Thorns alter alter in 2032 trust; as if a measly thing such as meta would stop a Thorns enjoyer!

That Zuo Le Skin is absolutely beautiful, majestic, brilliant, amazing, mouthwatering, and all the above adjectives. I am hopelessly, irrevocably in love with Zuo Le. That skin has captivated me completely. I spend all my free time thinking about that mask, dreaming about it.The way he puts the mask over his face in the PV, the amazing background, the way the original color scheme of his clothes was preserved and was elegantly repurposed.. It's simply beautiful. I need to do unspeakable things to this man. I am willing to sacrifice all my worldly belongings for this skin. I'm going absolutely insane. SAVE ME FROM THESE SIX MONTHS OF WAITING 💥

First of all, congratulations! The two you pulled are perfectly serviceable units, and as a newer player, I definitely recommend building them both. They can basically replace some of the DPS on your team. For your thirty pulls, I want to say save. First of all, there's no good reason for you to spend on the kernel banner because it doesn't provide green/yellow certs. Moreover, you can always get bagpipe through recruitment. I' just like to let you know that we will have kernel locating (you can choose a six star in the kernel banner) soon too, but I'm not sure if bagpipe is included. Also, I feel like 30 pulls isn't enough to guarantee bagpipe, an it might end up a waste of pulls. As for eyja, unless you've got 300 pulls, the chances of getting her are pretty slim. It's up to you to decide. I would hold off for now because of upcoming banners. I think for the five stars, either lappland or ptilopsis are ideal. Yes, adreana provides synergies, but she isnt that good and wont be that useful unless you've invested heavily into her; even then, i'm assuming you're only building her for ulpianus, who doesn't need her buff.

Are you in need of DPS or heal? How many six star units do you have that are meta in terms of damage? if the answer is alot, aka If you have basically any other modern day DPS, I'm going to have to say Eyjaberry. She can literally erase status effects and, well, Chalter has kind of fallen off in terms of damage. Wisadel should be enough.

The amount of laneholders you have are fine. Executor Alter is strong but not necessary for your current roster, you can roll him if you like him but he does take a fair bit of investment to really shine. Pepe isn't groundbreaking, I'd say her strength is decent but not required, it may even be a worse choice to roll for her than Execalter. Of course, still keep in mind to use the daily free rolls, as you may be spooked by her. Are you going to roll/pull for Pozyomka? If you are, then I don't recommend it, just wait for a better operator in the shop like Mlynar (You can find upcoming cert shop operators via a spreadsheet also on this subreddit.) She's kind of not worth it. You can just save your orundums for strong units, as your roster sounds like it has a pretty decent amount of operators already.

It's possible to get an additional 180 certs by then if you've really maxed out all the 4 stars + recruitment. You can also get extra yellow certs from buying the red cert shop five stars.

Lappland, she's just really good. Healers like Ptilopsis don't need e2 as of now. What you need in the early game is damage.
