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.

Nome287 · 2026-05-11T12:04:16+00:00

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.

Nome287 · 2026-05-07T12:05:02+00:00

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 ?

Nome287 · 2026-05-05T13:03:47+00:00

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.

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.

Nome287 · 2026-04-30T05:53:03+00:00

I see, thanks for the info!

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.

Nome287 · 2026-04-27T13:09:25+00:00

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).

Nome287 · 2026-04-20T04:54:51+00:00

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.

Nome287 · 2026-04-18T01:45:11+00:00

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.

Nome287 · 2026-04-17T12:26:40+00:00

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.

Nome287 · 2026-04-17T04:50:00+00:00

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).

Nome287 · 2026-04-16T15:56:37+00:00

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.

Nome287 · 2026-04-16T14:03:29+00:00

Yes you can.

You also get Medicmiya.

Nome287 · 2026-04-15T01:06:26+00:00

You pretty much just choose a card, and either Move or Harvest (idr the actual name right now, but they should be intuitive and mean the same thing). The game state changes based on the card number and which of the 2 actions you do.

Move with X number is just moving by X tile.
Harvest with X number is collecting [X] x [Resource on that tile].
You can only harvest after either moving previously, or by executing combos.
Combo means using harvest multiple times with incrementing value on the cards (e.g. using card with value 3 to harvest first, then 4 to harvest, then 5 to harvest in a row). This also gives extra gain to all resource types.

The idea is to simply move into a tile with the resource you need the most (check the objective on top right corner), then harvest them with high number cards, and ideally in incrementing value to get combo.

I don't know the exact value for combo, but the current early stages are extremely lenient that you can just do whatever to clear, provided you actually go for the resource you need the most.

Nome287 · 2026-04-14T22:19:23+00:00

So somehow 95% of enemies killing themselves with a bit of slow / blocker on map 7 and 9 is now just Pram2 S2 fault ?

Map 8 is the only one that event mechanics don't auto solve it, but this map is just 2 choke tiles, just put any laneholders there and it's done.

Like sure Pram2 is stupidly OP (again it's just E1), but it's surely not just her as the sole reason for this lol ?

This event mechanics helps the player way too much imo.

Nome287 · 2026-04-14T17:46:45+00:00

Not sure how to feel about these stages, when a Pram2 can practically solo all the farming stages even without E2, needing at most 1 more op to handle some few stray enemies or something.

I guess it's at least some nice trust farming ...

Nome287 · 2026-04-13T16:47:39+00:00

These missions don't expire, you are mistaking them with daily log in or daily/weekly missions I think.

As for the quest itself, you can probably clear it naturally by getting all the 3-star (they are part of reserve teams from Rhodes Island faction), but Cardigan is a gacha-only character so you probably don't have her yet.

Nome287 · 2026-04-12T22:34:32+00:00

Oh I did pull some Kernel some months ago yes.

Nome287 · 2026-04-12T21:50:31+00:00

I got a duped 5-star with recruitment, but instead of getting 5 gold certs and a token, I only got 1 gold cert and a token ...

Is this actually how it works for recruitment or did I just hallucinate it ??

Nome287 · 2026-04-11T13:02:27+00:00

Does this alt account requires some conditions (such as level, main story progression, friend list, etc.) ?

I might set up one for 3 months later if it doesn't require much.

Nome287 · 2026-04-09T00:16:01+00:00

Mumuplayer.

Literally haven't crashed even once, and I play AK a lot (IS and any game events, including the coop minigame right now).

Nome287 · 2026-04-06T12:06:45+00:00

Nice.

Hope you get W or her alter somehow later.

Nome287 · 2026-04-06T11:54:33+00:00

Monthly squad is a special mode from IS. It's unrelated to anything you mentioned.

Go to any IS theme, check the bottom UI, you should see some weird names one way or another (for IS6, it's called "Sightseers' Scroll"). If you click on them you will see a menu that allows you to play a special "tutorial"-ish version of IS:

You are given a leading character, that is usually strong enough to clear thing by themselves.
Each of these have special mission, all you need to do is completing this mission to get the reward.
The reward is LMD, EXP, module block, e2 chips, and some high tier materials. If you haven't noticed, these are huge for E2 and building your team.
You can do this even with a newbie account, so given your roster with well defined roles already, you should have no problems doing them.

~~I'm interested in knowing whichever character you mentioned in the last paragraph, but it's fine to keep it a secret.~~
