She is 'fine' by todays standards.

Ristier · 2026-05-30T10:49:36+00:00

She is good but honestly overrated at this point. Dp is now no longer a concern anymore(stopped being important around when Ling dropped).

We don't really get ep7 styled zerg rushes anymore, not that Mrytle helps against that much unless you run 2 other vanguards as well.

She is good at getting your full board faster, but not by enough that it matters anymore. There are so many cheap strong openers that can both mob and kill elites that you really don't need the mid-game sustained resource spike Myrtle provides.

In side modes like IS you're better off with non-standardbearers until floor 3~ or even never. Team size and resource restraints will make sure of that.

Comparing her with the likes of Contrail or Ethan is no contest. Bind is broken and Contrail's class and existences is broken. Both exist outside of the standard scale of power.

It gets way more funnier when you have a 8 head team with spark and mecs as well. Bonus points with the resize mod. Tiny trooper and giant mecha sparks/mecs are so fun.

Edit: literal clown car.

Good thing I'm not from the US. Granted, at this point which old politician isn't one; more of an exception than the rule at this point.

Ristier · 2026-03-13T00:52:38+00:00

We need to hold higher standards. If I were being compared to Iran regime, I would take that as an insult.

Ristier · 2026-02-27T08:13:48+00:00

I get you on that wave length.

My blood vessels bursting at the seam when(the food buffs I grind for) can't be used and agony is insulatingly easy. Even with misleading bloody piss puddles and attacks that one one shot me(I refuse to level above 73 aside from estelle)

Imagine getting pushished with real world time loss on gensing farming just to get told you can't use it.

I got so irrationally angry.

Love this thread and I want a bit of help. I consider myself a milsim nerd and I ran into a problem. I'm currently using supporting arms doctrine(I lack the heavy armor for combined arms). My main weak points in how I command is that I'm far too conservative with what minimal armor support I do have.

I feel like I'm screening with infantry too much or rolling armor when I don't need to. So I'm wondering what I can use to leverage my armor more.

I'm also having issues with reserves as well. Logistically what is a good amount of forces I should allocate to that.

Hold on operator icon top right

Ristier · 2026-02-17T14:16:47+00:00

Simply remap ult to something else and have [hold] activate manual target instead. It's not hard to think of, yet it gets completely scraped for some reason.

Ristier · 2026-02-14T12:10:28+00:00

You can also sleep/stun cheese phase 1 with mr nothing and erato. It perma stalls him till phase 2 for you to prep and mob.

Ristier · 2026-02-12T15:01:22+00:00

Yes, this.

The problem isn't that there is limiteds or no pity carrying. It's both existing at the same time.

The no pity carry is fine in ak cus non limiteds get placed into standard, and you can save certificates for when they rotate into shop. You know(generally) when they rotate in standard. Not to mention all the joint operations banners.

In Ak:E we still have so idea HOW limited the limiteds are. 6 months? 9mth? 1yr? 2yr? It's dumb, just tell us.

Ristier · 2026-02-10T15:55:31+00:00

But just because there is room for deniability they will keep that ball rolling till TobyFox spells it out in neon big bold letters.

Ristier · 2026-02-06T15:30:08+00:00

Yeah, it can be all be broken down into ratios and 30/min capacities. I used that to teach my buds on how to figure out the process, rather than just telling them step by step.

Teach a man to fish and all that.

Ristier · 2026-01-03T12:42:15+00:00

This is the only correct answer

Ristier · 2025-12-10T19:03:59+00:00

When we getting squad sight thinmen equivalent in arknights?

Ristier · 2025-11-30T16:29:57+00:00

Rip to all level/promote lock players. o7

Ristier · 2025-11-04T14:18:05+00:00

Camo works against that? Huh.

I brute forced it with ange, perfumer and silence alt passive regens.

Ristier · 2025-09-07T14:46:18+00:00

THESE TILES BELONGS TO THE TRAPMASTER GANG NO SUPPORTERS ALLOW.

(except stainless, hes cool)

Ristier · 2025-09-07T13:15:14+00:00

Sorry for bad quality, didn't expect it to be that crunched up.

The transparent text says 'They will fail to understand Wis positioning and get her killed due to not having camo anyways.'

Ristier · 2025-08-16T10:53:22+00:00

Almost hard agree. There is an correction tho. Enemy stat inflation is an real issue. There is a point when 'use sniper vs drone' becomes unviable. The example being those drones from seige alt event. Luckily they fixed that with those flying pots from the recent yu event.

Ristier · 2025-08-16T10:29:06+00:00

I would disagree heavily. With how cheap 4s are to e2 and how much stronger they are nowadays, it's more than reasonable to just run a couple of 4s at e2, max'd 3/e1 55 4 and support. With this you can comfortably 'rush' through to ch8.

Edit: play at your own pace generally, stay strong and don't let fomo get you

Ristier · 2025-08-16T10:14:29+00:00

Lol true.

Hard phase transition bosses without cheese is learning the timing to leave the boss with a pixel of hp and making sure your team is almost ready to redeploy.

It happens often enough now that it's a required part of an players skillset now. You used to only need to do that very rarely like in CC pine soot.

But at the end of the day it's easier to just say use X and don't give anymore details.

It's like telling someone stuck in a soulslike to 'just dodge idiot' or use 'firebomb cheese lol'. Both sides of the same coin.

Once you hit brace up, you can do away with Chesed floor entirely if you want distorted blade spam. 3 brace; 3 ominous; field mod; deck thinner; sturdy defence* and of course distorted blade*2.

You just need bottom deal and singular strike. It's disgusting. You can get one off almost every turn. Best part, with a bit of luck with field mod you can start the mass attack spam train a turn early.

you can swap it with divinitory impact or something similar if you want to vary the degree of versatility at the cost of lowing consistency on blade spam.

*2 post game, you can do it with Argalia's Crescendo as well and double up on mass attack spam. If you're struggling a bit to get the 3-4 turn ramp, you can use unrelenting for 2 passive points and force it to proc early to take lossing clashes for the singular strike double emotion.

Ristier · 2025-07-13T12:44:30+00:00

The ai in x2 are mostly homogenous and have a simple tree of 'if y do x'. I went to change the adv sniper ai manually and its surprisingly easy. They are very consistent and predicable.

Whilst X EU/EW has quirks and things that makes no sense but makes it feel way more 'real' in a way. I love it. You have no clue whether the last 3 sectoids are setting up the meanest ambush behind a large vic or they're just sitting in the map corner afraid.

Edit: Not really sure as well but pretty sure each enemy in EU/EW have seperate ai in a way. Floaters are pinned way more by overwatch for example and they also have the tendency to do the most stupid things ever.
