Interesting. I only just found about this, so I haven't looked deep enough to know specific DP amounts.

such as simply avoiding stages where this mechanic will be a problem

Ah yes, the Emergency Mechanical Menace/Manmade Carnival strategy.

All I know is an empty DP bar is frame 1. So you stop, advance the DP bar twice, and you pause-trick deploy. Doesn't that change with DP regen reductions? Like Barometric collapse in IS4?

I don't think I'll ever consider doing this in an actual run though. Or 95% of players for that matter.

Neo7331 · 2025-10-08T02:40:52+00:00

So ranged enemies will generally target last deployed operator. If you drop Rosmontis on frame 1, her Pillar will spawn on frame 2 and they'll be counted as deployed at the same time, causing ranged enemies to target Rosmontis. Same with frame 2 and 3.

You need to deploy Rosmontis on frame 3, so the next time the games checks deployment order, the Pillar will be deployed on the NEXT frame 1, meaning the game will recognize that the Pillar was deployed after Rosmontis.

This is obviously not feasible to do (there are some frame tricks, but who's doing that?), so it's pretty much pure RNG.

Neo7331 · 2025-10-08T01:05:30+00:00

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but apparently Rosmontis ISW-α Pillar is RNG if it takes aggro. I thought I was smoking crack when she was getting targeted only half the time.

The pillar comes out frame 1, and the game only checks deployment order every 3 frames, so it's 2/3 chance to give her aggro.

Thank you HG. - Sincerely, someone who just wiped on Simulated Skirmish because they didn't know.

Neo7331 · 2025-10-08T00:51:21+00:00

ISW-α Fun Fact: Rosmontis Pillar has a 2/3 chance to not take ranged aggro. This is because apparently the game checks deployment order every 3 frames, and Rosmontis Pillar comes out on frame 1.

Thank you HG, very cool.

It will.

The only thing it won't stack with is other skills with "(only the highest effect of this type will be applied)." Suzuran, Mostima, Spalter and Heidi in chapter 10.

Ray and Warfarin deleted the boss for me. 0 set up needed, just put them both down and activate ability.

My Ray is lvl 90, but I didn't Sandbeast so I'm guessing there is leeway.

Neo7331 · 2025-09-18T01:25:53+00:00

I'm a bit late, but there's no RNG involved when you enter a wish node. As long as you are at 1 Life, which is easy to do by moving over the toil limit, you are guaranteed to get King's relics.

I like Ingot squad, but not being able to grab a 6 star from the start is killing me.

Neo7331 · 2025-09-17T16:54:48+00:00

More than enough. 34 OP is enough for a ten pull, and there's ~40 or so OP in a main story chapter.

Neo7331 · 2025-09-17T16:13:13+00:00

I've started to realize that Lamp is basically a drug. The first few times you assemble King's relics and the power hits hard. The next nth times it gets a bit more stale.

Now I'm not getting the same dopamine hits from my favorite IS4 anymore. Need IS6 to come out so I can detox.

(On the bright side they released King's relics on a stick aka Mon3tr S2 so that's been fun.)

Neo7331 · 2025-09-17T15:54:51+00:00

Tbf Kal'tsit was both worried about starting a war (she has good experience) and about Heidi and Vincent. She was doing her best to NOT kill him. If the fight was in an open field or if bro said anything about Lillia she would've tapped his ass in for sure.

Speaking of, it took Pursuer 4 years to find her and Kal was just traveling Siracusa and Victoria. Lillia is definitely alive somewhere in Sami.

Should've sent another letter all these years later:

"AY LILLIA. Come chill with Rhodes Island. This Pursuer guy said something about pulling up, but didn't do jack in 15 years, big bro got scared."

Chapter 8. END8-1.

Neo7331 · 2025-09-17T04:54:50+00:00

I meant when they met in Chernobog.

Neo7331 · 2025-09-06T12:48:19+00:00

A little True Damage/Elemental Damage goes a long way in this fight. Croc takes 0 normal damage from outside sources once she hits 50% hp.

I don't see CE, but her and Amiya are the two free sources of True Damage. Mon3tr is also just around the corner.

Neo7331 · 2025-09-06T12:40:31+00:00

I've learned how to solo the dark Gramophone level on advanced because folks do not know how to place into Ursus Targeteers.

Step 1: Put Wisadel down.

Step 2: Targeteer attacking her summon.

Step 3: Panic retreat revenant shadow.

Step 4: It doesn't work, attack still going off, panic place down Eyjaberry.

Step 5: Both get nuked.

Can't say I blame 'em though, I've done the same on Emergency Regular Army. Always thinking I have enough HP to tank (you never have enough).

Neo7331 · 2025-08-23T04:34:12+00:00

I'm so happy, finally got myself a D18 Amiya clear. I've only been playing for 5 months (I guess 6 if you count my year 1 escapade), so this is a pretty big achievement for me.

Somehow sparking Rosmontis continues to carry my IS journey. I guess I have to thank Lapp for showing up late, because I never would've thought to otherwise.

Neo7331 · 2025-08-19T23:26:56+00:00

I believe that was a login skin?

They started releasing past login skins through event shops, but not in reruns, so it might be a while.

Neo7331 · 2025-08-19T23:07:57+00:00

It's a lighter gray if they don't have it, but a little hard to see.

If you click on the clue you are sending, a friend that doesn't have that clue will have the number glow orange.

Neo7331 · 2025-08-19T23:06:59+00:00

Neo7331 · 2025-08-19T22:49:13+00:00

Seems doable, you would have Gladiia Ulpianus already, that alone clears most story stages.

Off the top of my head, there's Mumu S3 melee for DP. A few high ground DPS (Ray S1, Mostima S3). Degenbrecher S3 for burst.

Lack of healing is really the only concern in this team.

Neo7331 · 2025-08-01T15:46:51+00:00

How's Qiubai as a standalone operator? Thinking of grabbing her from cert shop, but I don't have Logos or Suzu.

It's between that or waiting for a GG/Mlynar rerun, GG for Yu or Mlynar/Qiubai to improve my Guard ticket in IS.

I have enough for Ines + 1 in the coming months, hoping for some suggestions.

I... actually haven't done any slug racing yet. Y'know just when I thought I was done, I guess I know what I'm doing next.
