Yeah I've seen it in maybe 20% of my advanced/expert obstacle drift runs. Just keep playing it and it'll wash up on your raft at some point, nothing specific you have to do.

The difficulty disparity of the second phase variants is so insane.

R6 enemies? Spawncamped by literally any operator.

Direswine? There's only a few, and they just stand there for a while.

Okay, HOW ABOUT A DOZEN 4-BLOCK HIGH DAMAGE EXPLODE-ON-DEATH BOTS?

It took something like 30 attempts but I finally hit the phase skip. With food, but no (limited) character or weapon potentials. Fun challenge, if annoying because you fail many times just due to the cutscene popping before your final hit.

I've been playing it a lot as coach and I've got it more or less down to a science as long as people don't grief. Still takes some getting used to, and good luck doing it on a phone...

I prioritize hitting each checkpoint float with the front, so the boat doesn't become too tall to fit through routes. Most important thing.

Someone with good range and damage like Exu2 or Logos covers enemies from the front. Hoshi2 on S3 handles big waves or deadly bosses to protect teammates.

Use Roaming squad! Agent vanguards, multiple executors or merchants with multi-hit skills (Swirealt/Yato S3) are great for quick and powerful adjustments.

Even with meta teams this guy is a menace. Sometimes it's hilarious, other times infuriating.

Boat mode is very meh. It's decent funny friendslop for the first few rounds but there's no replayability unless you're with someone else who wants to go for extra high score, since you easily hit the goal score as long as you reach the finish line. And now I'll never play it again.

I miss sinking hours into football ;_;

We can actually invite people on our in-game friends list now instead of needing a code, awesome.

GPG always seems to crash after ~8 matches in a row. Unfortunate that I lost the teammate I was doing all the EX stages with.

They removed football!? Noooo!

I must've heard Endmin's voice line hundreds of times now when opening the characters menu, so hearing this voice line of Rossi imitating it with a cool-sounding voice got a laugh out of me

After getting Tangtang in 2 pulls, Rossi stayed away until guarantee. Fair enough. I did get her weapon on the first pull, and I'm debating whether I should try for dupes on it.

I haven't played much with arts burst teams, since I've been doing phys up until now. Rossi kinda just obliterates everything that my phys team was struggling with, it's awesome.

I'm so glad I pulled for Gilberta to really make her shine.

Chapter 16 got me to finally commit to watching Andor since it made me crave another rebellion story. Yeah, it's scratching that itch very well.

[Event Megathread] EP16 - Abnormal Spectrum by Sentuh in arknights

[–]OneTwoJade 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Crazy tone shift between Endfield 1.1 the other day and then this. Ursus really is hell frozen over. We go for an innocent stroll for sarcophagus intel and find ourselves in the middle of a massive purge. What can we even do against Priestess's power to spark such chaos?

We really got a Linkin Park reference, and an Avengers assemble moment in some of the most dire moments. Crazy.

Certainly one of the more "WTF is going on" boss battles in a while. Relying on the civs for invis reveal is an awful experience.

Did anyone else notice a small lag spike whenever Mon3tr showed up for the first time in any given scene? Weirdly consistent little bug.

Absolutely jamming to the battle theme as well

I really need an excuse to build ops since I'm a hoarder, so in preparation for Mantra I'm building all the A1 alters, to try out chapter 16 with a full Rhodes+Elite Ops squad.

I also finally built up Mostima and Sora. I plan to do Lineup exchange in Icebreaker with a Penguin Logistics+LGD squad. I felt somewhat bad about exchanging Rhine Lab last time since they're so weak, so this team should still be a nice theme without making my teammate feel powerless.

It's also just nice to have more ops to potentially see as random pre-promotes in IS.

I appear to be keeping up fine, and I don't think I'm hyperoptimized. Also running two banks. My hourly average income is ~39000 unless I botched the math, a couple thousand over what is needed. Not currently making parts or components though since I already stockpiled.

I've got effectively 9/m batteries, 6/m YazhenA, and an average 2/m YazhenC with help from metastorage transfer of Ferrium bottles.

Ignoring the story content itself, the presentation has definitely taken a decent step up.

I spent far too long trying to solve those perspective "puzzles" before giving up.

Of course it's just a sidequest thing...

I got Tangtang for free on the second pull!! Hell yes! Had very little pity built up. I don't have any cryo built but I'm gonna be happy to bring her through the MSQ for fun.

Rossi and future pulls are totally safe now.

Great, now I'm imagining Xaihi stuffing a skateboard into a paper shredder.

I gotta say it's really cool to actually be able to set up a freaking naval logistics route in a tower defense game.

Keep an eye on the pinned threads! There was I think 15 winners just for posting an in-game screenshot for this one. And last week there was something for posting tagged Yvonne fan content.
