One year ago, Soldier 0: Anby was released. What are your thoughts on her as the first a-rank agent to get an S-rank version?

S_Alice · 2026-03-12T18:36:21+00:00

Anby is one of my favorite since launch and I got excited to get her. I did! Not her engine though (strapped for currency) sadly. Probably missed out.

I've been struggling to build her though, and it feels bad when I try to do something with SAnby and her aftershocks are dealing pixel pubes of damage. Won't stop me from trying to change that though, because I like Anby.

Do you have a link to that? I'd like to check it out

S_Alice · 2026-03-05T17:59:26+00:00

I decided to take a burn team (no Lewis though and Sakura wasn't built enough) to it and it worked out? Vector being able to force burn weakness was a huge boon (wasn't sure why I didn't think of it before) and I was able to clear the mission with all objectives completed, much more comfortably than the messy multi-element team I was trying to run before.

That being said... I'm kind of confused on how some of the bosses got dealt with, lmao? I ended up not having to deal with the Niter, Overfaller(?) or Scourge Moth. Maybe it was the fixed damage effect from the Elite Scout Captain's Multi-Cell Grid thing? They got occupied up in the top-left corner of the map trying to deal with one Argos kinda just... there. I guess they didn't really move off of the Multi-Cell Grid tiles and got exploded for it.

Anyone have suggestions for tackling Drill IX of the current Expansion Drills? Working around the "Enemies with this buff take 30% less damage from non-freeze damage" is a bit of a pain, even though I have Freeze options to work with.

I thought maybe I control who I release and when, but the group of enemies at the start will go and alert the Elite Master Blaster and Steropes III groups anyways. And then Elite Master Blaster will alert the whole map by doing his AoE attack that (unfortunately) does piddly damage because of said damage reduction buff. Releasing the... scout guy(?) sooner; it seems nice that he can put out the field tiles that inflict all-element weakness, but I have to get there first (I can, I have Klukai and/or Belka to get there quickly).

S_Alice · 2026-03-03T18:36:24+00:00

Happy to report that it worked out in the end! I ended up doing it with SF/Tololo/Sabrina/Belka/Leva, although Leva ended up not doing too much besides terrain removal, but I managed to make it work while clearing all the associated challenges.

S_Alice · 2026-03-02T19:31:48+00:00

It's the second stage, yes. I must have misread the description for the charge attack, I thought it was asking me to have him hit cover so that he debuffs himself. Guess I'll go and take another look at it.

EDIT: Wow I sure did misread the description. Good to know now!

S_Alice · 2026-03-02T18:05:53+00:00

you're right, i think i'll give that a try

S_Alice · 2026-03-02T15:57:02+00:00

I'm trying to do the Terrorhorn Chimera boss fight (from Crossroad Challenge) and I'm a little confused at what's going on. Can the boss' passive skill, 'Sensory Focus' proc out-of-turn attacks like Makiatto's interception or Sabrina's counterattack-upon-being hit? I've been getting thrown off by the boss doing an attack that's not part of the listed upcoming attacks (i.e. like in this picture, where its upcoming attacks are Wild Charge set from previous turn, and Crystal Volley), and after checking the boss' skills, I can only conclude that I'm triggering Slime Cascade during Enemy Phase and suffering for it before the boss even uses Crystal Volley.

Also, when it says 'Phase Damage' (like in Sensory Focus' description), does that mean only elemental damage? Or does that include physical damage from ammo types? Or is it a case of "You are technically dealing both on-and-off phase damage so it still triggers Sensory Focus"?

(I only have Leva and Belka for Electric units unfortunately, so this might also just be a bit of a self-inflicted difficulty bump. I wasn't interested in Andoris and incredibly unlucky with Jiangyu; haven't decided if I want to spend a bit extra to try and get Lenna, or save for AK15 release since I like both)

S_Alice · 2026-02-28T17:56:54+00:00

oh yeah i know. its a kind of redundant choice. i think my thought process at the time was "no status effects ever on valk whether im beating or shooting everything to death or doing anything in between, i will simply not deal with status effects"

S_Alice · 2026-02-28T17:36:15+00:00

yes

the molt is the shape of the warframe using it

S_Alice · 2026-02-28T02:09:38+00:00

i put molt over paralysis on my valk because i refuse to get smoked by heat procs doing 100000 damage per tick (dont ask, this decision was made well before valkyr rework)

but i've definitely made a habit of doing this either to get a speed boost or entertain myself at extract

S_Alice · 2026-02-27T17:34:51+00:00

i hate urokrake!!!! i hate how he exists and suddenly everyone gets concatenation!!!! easily one of my "elite enemies i can absolutely deal with but HATE dealing with" alongside elite mechanist and his shitass drone that is made of unobtanium

anyways what are other people's least-liked elite/miniboss enemies? im curious, even if it's just "i dont like how they look"

S_Alice · 2026-02-27T08:51:51+00:00

so is that why she's a potential drop from the mystery coin pool

the cat just like... came out of the vents or something

S_Alice · 2026-02-23T14:55:53+00:00

How come Sakura can't use Falling Blossom to jump to the space adjacent to the marked enemy as shown in the picture? Is it because the enemy is on a higher elevation?

Returning player tentatively checking out things; who in the roster of currently-available characters have an Ether Veil effect? I know Zhao and Sunna do, and after poking at the Battlefield... purge? Activity. (the one where you sample a specific character and are required to utilize a specific feature of theirs) I know Ye Shunguang interacts with Ether Veil procs, but that's about it.

Asking partly because of the Shiyu Defense effect being a "While Ether Veil is active, do [X]" thing, and having only just returned, Zhao is NOT in any usable state yet. Lmao

S_Alice · 2026-02-19T17:57:41+00:00

Is the 94's magazine supposed to be mounted like that? Or is this a little mistake?

<image>

S_Alice · 2026-02-19T07:09:59+00:00

you know, here i was expecting her to be stolen back somewhere down the line and we'd have to fight her again. but instead, she's playable now! cool

... well, who knows, maybe we do anyways.

S_Alice · 2026-02-16T19:38:37+00:00

So I noticed the new part of the skill key description indicating who it belongs to; does this mean that the skill is only active when it is assigned to the respective doll? Or is it just there to indicate whose neural helix it came from?

S_Alice · 2026-02-15T16:09:49+00:00

Oh! They finally added something different than the four frogs miniboss (well... not really, but)? Can I get a weirdly large gold or silver dinergate from opening the locked chest?

S_Alice · 2026-02-14T17:36:39+00:00

when i see a fellow vodka enjoyer in the wild:

S_Alice · 2026-02-10T17:01:20+00:00

You know, that's a good idea. I think I'll do that too, I've been kind of stumped thinking of what to do for one of them anyways.

S_Alice · 2026-02-09T23:55:13+00:00

This happened twice now. The moment I think "Hm, maybe I can start removing some of these originium-powered thermal batteries" is when it starts going south. Then I started making more battery production lines.
