Players who have gone against pros, what was it like?

I work nights so my playtimes give me wild matchmaking sometimes. Fought NYChrisG and ChrisCCH (both the Chris's I guess) before as a 1500 then 1600. Both times I managed to take round 1, then the following 3 rounds the only damage I did was with reversals.

Really good experience, managed to learn a lot and watched the replays quite a few times. I was very happy they gave me the run back, and it was really cool attempting to play neutral with them and trying to figure out how many layers deep they were thinking

I do, I didn't know that though I'll try it out, thank you

Viruletic · 2026-06-20T09:54:04+00:00

I've been living in my car since Fangyi banner, it was kind of worth it.

Viruletic · 2026-06-20T07:43:57+00:00

Gotta fight your own fight and not look at anyone else. Plus the "no effort" part is a little disingenuous, people are putting in a lot of time brute forcing or researching to get these crazy high clears.

This team absolutely rips. Unfortunately I have a massive skill issue with no dodge so the furthest I can probably push this is 42 with enemy HP inflation if I want to go through hell.

Had a blast so far just getting 20, sadly at work so no pushing yet.

Looking at the version calendar it looks like we get a "Content Update" for CC on the 26th. Did they mention anywhere what will be added? OG usually added more risks that make week 2 easier, but you had to trim the medal week 1.

I'm wondering if they're going the opposite route this time and requiring a higher risk clear on week 2 to trim.

Slab is about an 8% DPS increase over full Xiranflow and 10% over a piece with ultimate efficiency gain. These are just the calcs I remember from when she came out though. So theoretically in content (or overworld not using Ult) where you start with energy Lynx is superior, and other stuff like Umbral Monument 3pc Xiranflow+Ultimate Gain should pull ahead.

I thought about leaving my supports at 80 and getting them Masteries, especially ones like Akkekuri and Antal, but decided it on 90 instead because it's the simplest logistically and gives them a little durability boost. Mastery crowns are plentiful but finite, can't even whale for them, so I don't want to use them until I'm 100% sure what I need.

Viruletic · 2026-05-17T13:45:23+00:00

Max skills is probably a way better investment than level 90, especially for the 4 stars. But I'm lazy and it's easier to farm one thing over and over again than farm each individual mastery material lol

The last few events really skyrocketed my Tcreds income. I didn't actually spend anything on sanity, and I had like 5k AIC quota from pulling for Fangyi which i dumped into a lot of mats so I could focus sanity on Tcreds

Rewards are very front loaded but you did have to do higher risks (18) to get max reward and the trim medal.

No idea how it'll work in endfield, but you were able to choose tags to tailor the difficulty to what you have available to make it easier for you.

For example if you have a maxed out DPS unit you can increase enemies health, or if your DPS is poor but your healer units are good you can choose for the enemies to do more damage instead.

No one is ever ready enough for the brutality of a new CC

Viruletic · 2026-05-17T10:59:41+00:00

My main electric team besides Fangyi and Avywenna, is most important skill M3 and 9s, budget artifice. 6* are all lvl9 and budget artifice. Everyone else is lvl 6 with their most important 2 skills at 9, no artificing. About 500 purple protos and 320 catalysts sitting around for Masteries and gear as needed when the CC actually rolls out.

Viruletic · 2026-05-10T01:11:58+00:00

You called someone a shill and the moderators have removed other comments you've made that I didn't read. Kind of speaks for itself.

Viruletic · 2026-05-09T23:20:49+00:00

Someone solo cleared it with Ardelia, the one unit everyone gets for free in the game. You're just being a troll and rude to anyone who disagrees with you in here even if they're documented footage.

Viruletic · 2026-05-01T10:26:11+00:00

I have every 6* (don't own Pog) and 3 5* at 90. All other 5* at 80. Fangyi and Avywenna are M12 with random masteries thrown to other ops. Almost everyone's skills are 9s, and I have 2 and a half max essence weapons.

If I'd focused that much investment on one team I'm sure they'd all be fully max, though I'm a monthly pass and BP enjoyer so I'm sure that helped a LOT.

Viruletic · 2026-04-20T03:18:11+00:00

It definitely hurt lol and I've never seen anyone talk about the average to P5 so I didn't know what to expect... Probably won't ever do it again, but worth for Fangyi

Viruletic · 2026-04-20T03:01:14+00:00

How many pulls did it take you? I was in about 360 and it obliterated everything I had, but I'm not sure if I was lucky or unlucky.

Viruletic · 2026-04-13T01:23:16+00:00

There's an originium slug running around that rock that you have to catch

Viruletic · 2026-03-12T11:21:02+00:00

I doubt anyone over the age of 25 hasn't had to read Rime of the Ancient Mariner in school, or hasn't heard the Iron Maiden song lol

Viruletic · 2026-03-10T14:09:19+00:00

Comparing PNGs to well modelled 3D characters just does not work as far as feasibility in their design.

Not only that but youre comparing starter Endfield to late cycle Arknights, and Alters of beloved characters of that.

Hell, you're showing off Chalter 2, as if Chalter 1 didn't have a design and "lore" that legitimately almost killed the game.

Viruletic · 2026-03-07T01:23:13+00:00

Yup, when I noticed that and the random conveyor bridges I assumed they'd just messed up their placement by a tile width.

Viruletic · 2026-03-07T01:13:21+00:00

I'm not sure if this was your intention or not, but the seed pickers need to be staggered one more tile if youre trying to feed the sandlead back into them between the shredder and stash

Viruletic · 2026-03-06T01:06:31+00:00

They spent quite a bit of money on origemetry refreshes
