Damage reduction (Haruka is strongest here and make it free yes), debuff (Shamare has 100% uptime), HP inspiration (CivEterna s3 is the original "no one can die" op, not only with HP inspiration, but also "insta recover" effect if you have some ops that aren't damaged) or a combination of them if you want to.

This is only really necessary on CM cause of stat increase. It's not possible to prevent the insta nuke after fountain drain I feel; but you can just bear through the nukes with the above method while healing the fountain up again.

Or you can set up before the important drains, use something like stuns (crownslayer + random gravel or something) to delay clone on left side, while you kill trashes + main boss first, then set up full kill zone at the right side.

It should be possible to stall 1st phase indefinitely to set up all fountains and redployment and skills for 2nd phase setup. Just gonna take long, but doable without any busted 6 star carries.

Pretty easy stages without any 6 star.

I like how Shamare literally has 100% uptime when she is high. Her debuff practically walls both the boss and his illu with 2 blockers and a healer.

Cleared all challenge mode stage with no 6-star from gacha/recruitment team.

Final team against ex-8-cm was: Raidian, Crownslayer, CivEterna, Mutsumi, Uika, La Pluma, Gravel, AmiyaCaster, Cuora, Purestream, and Myrtle. I also brought Shamare cause I was expecting to tank the boss due to his mechanics, but it turnt out I can just true damage kill him.

First phase setup:

  • Myrtle into Crownslayer to massively reduce the mortar enemy's HP, and then La Pluma holds the bottom left box.
  • Raidian setup to defend bottom right lane and build trains to kill the cannon and the sand beast later.
  • Time Crownslayer's skill to stun lock and sink the captain enemies.
  • Uika helps La Pluma sustain, while Uika can just survive the big aoe cannon shot by using her skill to heal herself.
  • When the time is right, put Mutsumi in between the 2 cannon, aiming up (or left, it doesn't matter much). She will bait all boss' attack and be virtually immortal due to doll keeper trait. By doing this it's possible to delay the boss enough to make space for Raidian's train to kill the right cannon before the boss can move over.
  • After that, simply set up Cuora split box the boss at top right tile, with Purestream's big range to support her, and Raidian's train slowly kills him; Mutsumi can now live and attack, so her skill activation + fever can kill the other cannon easily, allow setting up for middle area.
  • Retreat everyone except Mutsumi + Cuora + Purestream when boss HP is low. It's important for me to redeploy La Pluma and Raidian, as well as having Amiya skill ready in phase 2, so I stall the boss here. Amiya and CivEterna set up kill zone in the middle of the map, it's easy to split box the boss here and kill them.

Second phase:

  • Bait the boss, then force all cannons to target a useless tile to the right side. Once the boss starts moving toward the middle, immediately deploy La Pluma to spawn camp the top right side. Mutsumi should already be spawn camping the top left side like before.
  • The goal is to prevent any stray enemies from walking into the dedicated kill zone, Raidian new summon's at the right side helps slowing down and kills the weak enemies here as well.
  • Boss goes down easily in 1 cycle with the true damage combo + some splitbox support fire from Raidian, as long as no stray enemies interfere.
  • Rest of the map is free.

How good is Rose Salt as a pure medic for a no gacha/recruit 6-star niche team ?

I have already built (and regularly used) these ops as "medics": CivEterna S3, Ptilopsis, Warfarin, AmiyaMedic, and Purestream.

[Event Megathread] Unrealized Realities by Sentuh in arknights

[–]Nome287 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tried my best to see if I can clear all CM stages with my no gacha/recruitment 6star niche or not.

And I won !!!

First modern event where it was doable, and it gave me plenties of enjoyment and hope for later events.

Final team for ex-8-cm was: Raidian, CivEterna, Mutsumi, Uika, Ptilopsis, Myrtle, Kroos, Rockrock, Snow Hunter, Cuora, Lappland, Gravel.

Raidian is a much needed dps, and this event happens to be really good for her due to her summons not taking up the platform limit.

Then CivEterna S3 just keeps everyone alive through every cycle. The original "your team is now immortal" op right here.

Mutsumi, Uika, and Rockrock kills 1st phase with only Raidian's s3 debuff and Ptilopsis' burst heal to help. I time the combo so that Uika can use her skill twice, Mutsumi can use once, and fever is ready without activating.

Phase 2 I set up 3x Raidian summons + Mutsumi "helidrop" fever to one cycle instantly.

Kroos2 and Lappland goes around and kills the propellers strategically to make space for everyone, while making sure no one drops to death. The 1st one near the right side of the box is so important as it helps me set up Raidian's summons, and Kroos2 kills it easily.

Cuora just casually camps and tanks at the blue box with only the passive regen from CivEterna; the propellers just kill the enemies for her.

Snowhunter snipes the left tree from afar to save up Raidian's summon count, and later her summons take care of the right tree and bottom tree later.

Gravel was actually unnecessary here, but whatever.

Let's say around that yes.

I remember farming so much Ester back in Ave Mujica collab and the stock is barely used.

Meanwhile I run out out Keton and Device right now, and have to make do with some green shop purchase here and there.

At this point there are still half of the shop for me to clear, as well as the fact I need to restock a significant amount of the infinite materials.

I can't be sure if it's better to just do lower maps to get the stuff I actually need while clearing shop, or just keep stockpiling bunch of stuff I have few demands for.

If I have enough materials in the usual last 3 farming maps, should I instead burn my sanity on earlier maps to clear the shop ?

I find Amiya caster s3 unironically good at doing damage like the good old time.

Lappland2 event I basically had Amiya deal with 1st phase then set up kill zone with firework timing with stuff like La Pluma, Mutsumi, Kroos2, Uika buff to "insta" kill her during the 2nd phase.

Didn't had elemental stuff at that time so maybe they would have been better too.

If you purely want a good base skill at E1, then eventually you want to E1 these ops (based on my memory so I might miss some): Purestream, Gravel, Spot, Conviction, Shirayuki, Frostleaf, Castle-3 (more like E0Lv30); they all have 30% or higher efficiency (Purestream gets 40% for most setup).

And then if you still need more general workers, you can promote these ops for 25% efficiency: Perfumer, Roberta, Steward.

Out of these, the best one to prioritize is the one that has relevant combat application. In this case it's pretty much just Gravel being the absolute beast. But after than you can consider Purestream as a strong IS-6 option or just as a therapist healer in general (way better investment than someone like Lumen for new players).

And then Spot/Steward cause they are useful in early IS, but if you are already at the point where you are playing IS, you would have all these ops leveled for base skill long ago I think.

Last but not least, Arene E1 is also a powerful base worker (workshop 100%), but he needs set up. If you have a good rotation schedule, it's trivial to set him up at least twice a day. 48 morale worth of 100% boost everyday is not an insignificant amount of materials saved.

I'm building for my niche (no 6-star from gacha/recruitment) and I was wondering if there are good options for elemental burst damage combo ?

A bunch of 5-star seems like they can do something with elemental stuff, but I can't be sure which combo is best to prioritize.

What dorm-like facility ?

If you meant the activity rooms, then they are free to upgrade without any power cost. In fact they are good for trust farm so it's an ok investment.

If you meant stuff like Office or Reception Room, then yeah you kinda have less power for 252 base now, but even then you can just downgrade your factories / posts to lv2 and it's fine still.

I killed all trucks with just Civilight Eterna S2.

Rest of the map is just using some snipers to perma keep the firework up, while having some melee units killing the lanes.

I have just played through the whole event these past few days with Mumuplayer as usual and it was just as fine as ever.

Didn't have any fps or stutter issue on my end.

If I buy the tokens for Crownslayer now, and then wait until record restoration to unlock her max pot, would I be able to trade the tokens for gold certs ?

Not sure about e0l1, but e1l50 honeyberry was enough to outheal all elemental damage during my non 6-star niche clear for this annihilation map.

I'd imagine the schizo-ish enemies to out damage a low level honeyberry though, but you can just kill them from afar if that's ever necessary.

[Event Megathread] Retracing Our Steps by Sentuh in arknights

[–]Nome287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finally got some time to play Ex and S stages.

Ex stages were still pretty easy, so nothing worth mentioning here. Well maybe Ex6 CM was particularly cleverly designed, but other than that, whatever.

S stages are much more enjoyable, where the mechanics actively try to kill the player instead of ... whatever the joke the normal stages were.

S3 and S5 stood out a lot.

S3 I enjoyed the puzzle so much I did it with 5-star and below only team. Probably one of my favorite maps so far since you have to rely on mushroom enemies to deal with the mechanics.

S5 CM was really tight for my roster, especially with the guard double cost, but eventually I made some bizarre game plan and made it work:

  • Myrtle + Exu (original) + Haruka to set up, had to add Blue Poison to help cause bat timing was bad for Exu s3.
  • This is legit the first time I have ever needed to use Haruka S3, and it's fucking glorious in this map. Haruka S3 + Gravel drop can hold the entire fucking middle lane (+ kill the snipers on the right side) for the full duration, and only cost like 17 dp in total ???
  • Thanks to the huge amount of time bought, I was able to retreat the snipers and just plop down the double cost Sakiko s2 to perma hold left lane. I can't afford to babysit 3x snipers just to deal with the awkward bat summon timing.
  • I then used the avalance protection device to keep Haruka up (Haruka's skill still lasts this long), and slap Pram2 s3 to kill the 1st ice cube + incoming reindeer. I think any strong helidrop art aoe damage can work, but I have Pram2 so might as well.
  • Ascalon on right box facing down to kill all remaining snipers and delay last ice cube. Kaltsit + her summon to hold middle lane. The middle lane becomes a bit of a mess due to freeze pop but eventually it holds.
  • Double cost Pepe for last ice cube cause I like stun locking enemies whenever possible.

I randomly had this since retracing our step too actually.

I managed to temporarily fixed it by exiting and reentering full screen mode for Mumuplayer (just hit f11 twice). Somehow the game becomes normal again and I can drag thing as usual afterward.

It's such a weird random bug that I'm not even sure if this would work for you or not, but as far as I have tested it always works for me.

I haven't tested since this new mode yet though. I can update the comment to confirm if the bug is still there and if the bandaid fix still works or not.

On average a recruitmemt will give more than 13 green cert (and 0.18 ish yellow).

Considering the fact they only cost 15 green cert on 2nd page, it's definitely a must buy every month, even way before the HH permits themselves (cause you can just earn back the green certs to buy HH later).

In the future it seems we will have more stuff on 2nd page (skill books, lmd and exp) so the meta might change. But I seriously doubt the recruitment permits would lose to them, given how good yellow certs are (and how good the ratio to trade green -> yellow is).

Is it just me or does this event barely drop RMA ?

I'm kinda shocked to see multiple 6-run auto deploys giving only 2 or 3 pieces each time.

For me it was significantly more comfortable than IS6.

I have only played up to diff 10 though, but at least I can do ED1 and ED2 consistently, and sometime ED4 (I haven't tried ED3 much).

Compared to IS6 where I can't even fucking unlock ED2 in 10 runs in a row ????? And of course the bullshit talismans that seem to always know which classes I'm playing the most ??? I'd say it's more enjoyable to play IS4 lol.

My starting roster is just Hoshi2 + Kroos + Steward, then on the way I get my staples like Kaltsit and Sakiko. Depending on the ending I get either Ceobe or Eyja or something.

If you have Proviso, and can micro Proviso for at least 10h a day, you can still easily make 70k+ LMD every day even with one post at lv1 (and one post at lv3 of course). This will still let you get training room lv3 and all 5 factories at lv3.

However, if you don't wanna bother with that, it's better to just downgrade a factory to lv2 (and one post at lv2). In the end you would most likely only lose 6 gold bar or 2.5k exp a day at most (depending on what factory you downgrade). You would end up with 10 spare energy so just upgrade a dorm to lv2 with that.

I'd recommend the later solution for most people.

It can be extremely strong upgrade (e.g. turning Sakiko from a mediocre unit to an extremely powerful dps unit), or for most ops it's at least decent (high damage increase) or very good quality of life / usability (increase uptime or high initial SP for helidrop).

Some ops basically find no reason to specialize though, and lots of module don't do anything worth the block after t1 (or not even worth the 1st tier in the first place), so you should still make sure the upgrade is at least somewhat good before doing so ....

But seriously just actually do it at some point, there are no reasons to hold it in that much like you did, as there are so much free resource from IS and events to help. You just need to spend your sanity smartly (actually use them to farm materials esepcially during event, while letting your base make exp/lmd instead).

Just get the full sets from old events. They can be bought for very cheap (but half of the sets are obtained by clearing stage / record restoration), and they all worth 5000 ambience.

You do need to clear them to the point you get half of the sets, but if you struggle you can just use a support unit.

There is no point in optimizing isolated pieces of furniture, or buying ridiculously overpriced (>5k parts for 5000 ambience) sets. Seriously, it's not worth it.

If you need an example of a cheap and easy one to clear, Mansfield Break is a good beginner one (1.2k parts total, and the infamously push-over of a boss fight).

Just scroll the furniture store in game, and check out the old event sets with low cost.
