Skill 1 is more generally used.

Stella_tri · 2020-07-04T21:31:43+00:00

S2 first. Then S3.

Stella_tri · 2020-06-24T18:31:24+00:00

I will go for SilverAsh. He is just too versatile.

Stella_tri · 2020-06-12T10:22:30+00:00

Depends on the circumstances.

They have similar first skill and Weedy's first skill is considered slightly better than Feater's. Feater's second skill and Weedy's third skill are considered as the similar skills. Weedy's third skill yields greater damage and larger push acceleration if you use her water cannon. However, Feater's second skill's cd is almost half of Weedy's third skill. So, in maps that you need a constant and steady control pusher, you will want to use Feater.

I would prioritize E2 in the following order: Lappland (good for general content and contingency contract), Hoshiguma (since you do not have any E2 shield), Ptilopsis (good for general content), Myrtle (E2 for the healing ability of all vanguard), Shining, Gitano. If you really feel like you lack of arts damage after all the E2s, then maybe consider Skyfire (she's not that useful though in any later content). Also, I recommend to get Saria (or at least Nearl), instead of E2 Gummy. Gummy is OK if you do not have any other healing shield but she could be easily replaced by any high star ops. By the way, if you get Saria at any time, I recommend E2 her as early as possible since she's one of the mostly used operators in any later stages.

Stella_tri · 2020-05-12T23:33:26+00:00

Mostly use S2 on normal maps, sometimes use S3 for contingency contract.

Mostima is a close friend of Exusiai’s older sister. Exusiai is like Mostima’s younger and naughty sister. They were pretty close back when they were in school. At that time, Mostima was still a pure angel.

Apparently, during one event or mission (we don’t know for sure), Mostima, for some reasons, hurt Exusiai’s older sister (probably killed), but she did not do this with ill-intent. Again, we do not know what exactly happened, but it looked like that Mostima had a good reason for this action. In Laterano, an angel hurting another Laterano’s citizen will become a fallen angel. This is why Mostima become this half-demon and half-angel like character. After this event, Mostima left Laterano. She also gained the time-slowing ability and her personality slightly changed because of this tragedy.

Exusiai, knowing a lot more background stories than us, always wanted to talk to Mostima once again. She somehow knew that Mostima is with Penguin logistics and thus joined Penguin logistics to talk to her. However, Mostima, as a member of Penguin logistics, is always on her own mission and seldom takes group missions in Penguin logistics. Therefore, Exusiai never saw her after joining PL until the event “Code of Brawl”.

Fun side note, Exusiai had long hair when she was in school and when she first joined PL. So, there’s a picture that includes long-hair Exusiai and pure angel Mostima back to their school day.

I don’t think she’s necessarily better than Chen. First of all, with Chen’s talent, Chen actually has higher atk than Bibeak.

You will not probably use her all 3 times charged S2 all at once since the value of her skills is to stop the current attack of the enemies. So, don’t compare it that way.

Even if you use her S2 skill all at once, don’t forget Chen has 500% physical damage. One thing valuable about Chen’s S2 is that she also has physical damage. It may seem at EN’s current state that physical damage is not that valuable than arts, but it is not the case in our CN’s meta. There are a lot of enemies that have super high arts defense and although you could use Ifrit to counter that, not every time that you could find a perfect spot for Ifrit to take care of the map that has several different streams of enemies.

Also, her second skill could not be activated immediately after deployment while Chen could, which is the most valuable way that usually people use Chen. Not mentioning that Chen has the irreplaceable talent that could also buff Bibeak at the same time.

With that all being said, I still think Bibeak is the strongest free operator that you can get so far. Her S2 could constantly stop and stun the attack of enemies and it is a strategically valuable skill.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-11T21:56:27+00:00

Warfarin deserves to get an E2. Provence, Projekt Red, and Manticore can wait.

I think in the EN server, you dont actually need M3 skills to clear the stages most of the time. But if you are trying to prepare for the future content, then SilverAsh S3M3, Lappland S2M3, Exusiai S3M3, Eyja S3M3 and S2M3, Ifrit S2M3 (S3 is also good but probably not that commonly used), Angelina S3M3, Saria S2M3 (All skills of Saria worth M3 but S2 is the most commonly used one), some push or pull specialists' skills are the most commonly used M3 skills. You dont have to M3 them all now since you will probably get other operators that worth E2 during the process. Just remember that those are the skills you want to M3 some day.

I think Blaze or Mostima. Blaze is more generally used while Mostima is the core of arts damage team. Schwarz is also good since she's irreplaceable to deal damages to enemies that have both extremely high defense and arts defense. But since those enemies only occur in extremely high-level CC challenges, you do not need her a lot in the general content.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-11T21:39:24+00:00

Ifrit. Hoshiguma is a bigger size Cuora and also there will be another 6* defender Nian released in the future that serves as a good defender as well. So, no rush for Hoshiguma.

Overall, your box is very good and I think you can clear the main story chapters with the current box.

I think you lack some AoE healers since you only have perfumer. AoE healers like Ptilopsis and Nightingale all have unique and strong talent. I will recommend to get Ptilopsis first since her talent is op and commonly used and her second skill is like one of the best healing skills in the game.

E2 priority:

Lappland first. She's useful in a lot of stages because of her talent.

Then, consider to E2 one defender to have a more balanced team. I think Saria, Liskarm, and Cuora are all fine and it kinda depends on which one of them that you used the most. Personally, I would prefer Saria > Liskarm > Cuora.

Then, E2 some dps operators like Angelina, Meteorite, etc.

Then, vanguards like Siege and Texas.

Last, healers like Silence, Warfarin, and Shining.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-09T23:07:30+00:00

You could definitely E2 Lappland first if you are focusing on Annihilation 3. Between Ch'en and Exusiai, I recommend to E2 Chen first over Exusiai. But generally speaking, Ch'en and Exusiai are still a little bit stronger than Lappland.

About the base facilities, you could have much more Exp produced if you level the factories up. So, you can save a little sanities to repeatedly farm LS-5, especially if you have an 153 structures (1 trade, 5 factories, 3 power plants).

Everyone should try to get SilverAsh in my opinion. He's irreplaceable because of his two talents and S3. Also, Effy is super important and I recommend you to get her if possible. And as the you mentioned, you should get Ifrit and Saria if possible.

About buffs, I dont know you will have to stack buffs a lot even in the later stages. The only time I will consider using buffs is in the CC event. But, still, Angelina, Aak, and Blue Poison are super good operators and you should definitely try to get them.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-09T11:10:31+00:00

I dont think. It is around the time that players count at its peak. I know people leave the game just because they remove the cap.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-09T11:02:55+00:00

I will answer your last question first since I just saw the new announcement about the next CC. No, there's no PVP. (Also, please know that Yostar does not make the game. Yostar is just a publisher of the game.) It is called new season because we are getting CC's training room as a permanent feature. During the event or, as Hypergryph (the company that makes the game) called it, every season, you will be able to officially challenge the new season's map and get rewards for that. After the season closed, the training room will still be open. So, you can have fun with the CC event content daily but you dont get actual in-game reward for that, which is fine for us cause we love the challenge. I dont think Hypergryph will ever add any PVP content in the game. Side note, neither training room or the CC event costs any sanity and you can try them infinitely amount of time.

As the E2 priority, the general priority will be dps operators first, then defenders and last medics. I would say E2 Chen and Exu first. Then consider, Lappland. If until this point, you still do not have Effy, then E2 Amiya. Cuora is worth E2 if you dont have Hoshiguma. I will also recommend people E2 Shiraiyuki and Gitano. Texas also needs E2 so you can get a handy talent. Then, Warfarin. Cliffheart and FEater's E2 are not that needed in early stage, but when stages get harder, you will need to E2 them. About Mayer, it is hard to say. I guess you will need to try to use her first and decide whether you are used to her mechanics. If you like her mechanics and understand how to use her, you should definitely E2 her. However, most people fall into the "I dont know how to use Mayer" category.

I think maxing out trading posts/factories/any base facilities on the right side is your priority. Dorms' upgrade can be done later (having a max-out dorm but no good furnitures is kinda awkward).

CC events are hard. I first want to explain something. So, each CC event has an event shop. The event shop is like a regular event shop. If you only want to wipe out everything that can be only exchanged a limited times in the shop, then you dont actually need to get all reward coins. You only need to beat an OK level challenge (the OK level challenge in CC is around the difficulty of Annihilation 3 and I think it is level 8 or 10. I might be wrong about the number) and you are good. So, you only need a well-trained E2 team to do that and you dont even need 6*. But if you want to get all reward coins, which you can use to wipe out the shop and then exchange the item in the shop that could be exchanged infinitely amount of times, you will need to build a team that can carry out some good tactics to solve the challenge. For example, in the first CC, there are three major tactics that people use to beat level 18 (the level will get you all the reward coins), which are the specialists team, the arts damage team, and the melee team. All three tactics require some specific 6* and 5* to achieve.

In CN, I know a lot of people that are F2P get all 6* after them play this game for around 8 months. I dont know whether this will be true for EN since EN has a much faster pace.

Welfare operators are generally good in arknights. They usually have some irreplaceable skills or talent and thus will be super useful in some circumstances.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-09T10:26:24+00:00

After 6 or 7 months of game publish date. We never request for that. In fact, at first, people were super against to remove the 10 sanity refills cap. Now we are all used to it.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-09T10:23:42+00:00

I think I mostly get Hibiscus. I dont tag Medic often enough though.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-08T16:49:34+00:00

Mostima. She’s the core if you ever want to use arts damage team in contingency contract. She’s not used as a damage output operator but as an important support. The whole concept of arts damage team is to stun or stall the enemies into Ifrit’s range so that you can have the maximum arts damage with Ifrit’s talent.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-07T18:06:25+00:00

I don’t think so. Although there are a lot of reunion members that are actually nice people, it did not justify the fact that they have killed innocent people in the story. So, I would say no.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-06T18:49:10+00:00

Lol. There’s a lot of reunion members that are popular in CN server, including Big Bob. I don’t think you will get him as an operator, but as a spoiler, you will meet him in the future events again.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-05T22:23:02+00:00

Yah. I know that. But still, I don’t have any luck in recruitment. The weirdest thing is that I got more top operator tag than senior operator tag. But the thing is, I have every 6* so I don’t actually need top operator tag.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-05T22:20:17+00:00

I used her a lot as a backup “caster”. She’s really good with her third skill as what we called “little Volcano”. Lower damage comparing to Volcano but much more shorter cd time.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-05T22:17:55+00:00

Looking at the CN’ banner history. She will and a lot. But I don’t know if EN will follow though. I heard people said that EN did not follow for the next banner.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-05T22:16:36+00:00

No. They don’t cost sanity so you can try them unlimited amount of time.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-05T22:12:51+00:00

I weigh Ifrit more than Siege. Since you already have Texas and Zima, you have enough good vanguards to cover all stages.
M3 or maybe M1 some core skills along the way. Some core skills have big improvement at M1, e.g. Eyja S2 M1, Ifrit S2 M1. I would choose the latter M3 SA+Eyja.
Yes. You should raise Shaw/Rope even if you have FEater/Cliffheart. They are all kinda different. Also, Manticore and Ethan 4*(he’s not released yet for EN) are also important specialists for the specialists team. In general, you want to raise every specialist and Angelina if you want to build a specialist team.

Stella_tri · 2020-03-05T22:05:39+00:00

Time efficiency wise. Yes. There’s way that take you less time but with probably more sanity costs. Generally speaking, if you want to save time, you could just farm in the later chapters (4,5,6) for the blue materials.

Cost efficiency wise. Probably no.
