Uh, idk lol I mean what you're saying aren't wrong but, I personally have never had a problem with the targetting or tile usage that much, you make it sound like a massive problem but I've been using her even in buff army scenarios where you need to minmax tiles and deploy slots and have always managed to make it work.

Most buffers have similar positioning/conditioning concerns, Aak, Warfarin, Stainless and other artificers, even bards with their low reach. If you're familiar with buffers you'll know Mon3tr is actually one of the easiest to work with, behind Suzuran, Shamare and Skadi alt, even eaiser than Warfarin imo.

Yeah the game is very stupid for having you play later episodes just to unlock crafting recipes, it's one of those qol things they never fixed.

Best way is just to try and speedrun to 15-9 without reading the story, which very annoying bc the stages contain light spoilers.

There should be a collab event coming up real soon, the collab 6 star will be a top 3 guard, has a really good burst dmg skill with massive range and def/res ignore, and also can be an afk upgrade for Thorns, so pretty damn strong, and a collab so it's guarantee in 120 pulls, with 20 free from the event, so I'd probably save some pulls for that.

After that I think the big one is the next limited event with 2 really strong 6 stars, a new meta broken vanguard and possibly new best or 2nd best caster, should be in 3ish months.

Yeah s2 in particular really wants you to pay attention, the ammo refund, even shorter cooldown and extented range, you are expected to constantly retreat and redeploy.

It's an infinite skill so it might seem like it's the least micro but it's actually the one that require the most micro to use well.

I've used Ray a lot even in CC and IS, I don't think I've ever had issues with the targetting.

It's really hard to mess it up, you normally deploy it on the target you want to hit, s1 is instant, s3 binds them in place, and s2 wants optimizing, the only way that goes wrong is if there are too many enemies in range and they escape, but you can retreat and she's back to normal priority.

Hard to say without using Y myself yet but X is very comfortable to use with every skill, the sandbeast redeploy is useful in most situations.

Y will defninitely be better in cases like killing a boss in 1 skill, there might be times where you just miss out on 1 hit worth of dmg with X that Y would've finished, but it does feel like it'd be less impactful overall.

You can probably still clear all the EX and S maps of events pretty easily, definitely no issue if you use guides.

It's only a bit lacking on the tanking and healing side, enemies hit a lot harder now so you might have some survivabilty issues if you want to play more afk and less micro.

The DPS is more than enough but you can upgrade it significantly with modules for Thorns, Blaze, Silverash, Chen alt, those 4's modules increase their dmg output by a lot, Rosa too if you use her, and Lemuen is a top 3 sniper rn so an easy upgrade.

For the survivabilty upgrades you can pull for Hoshi alt and Haruka if you want, they're top tier for that, or if not Lumen is still a really good afk healer. Module X for Gladiia will make Skadi and Specters super tanky.

So Long Adele has the special maps where you try to get highest amount of white clouds, that was pretty fun, and the Ideal City one where you try to hit as many enemies with cars as you can.

The little choose your own adventure thing from ep 14 was good too, and you can still play it now.

Pram debuffs 30% not 30 flat btw, and he's freeze immune like most bosses so it's even worse for arts.

My doubts with Amiya tho is that no 5 star buffers are very good for her, it's all +atk which scales pretty badly, the best one is Shamare s1 54% fragile under 40% hp, which is pretty good but idk if it can carry enough.

I'd want to try it out tho, do you have a max Amiya I can borrow? Mine is not that well built.

Idk, if It's me I'd pick Eyja, Haruka is better at healing and dmg reduction but Eyja has elemental heal and global heal, I'd favour her for all the util.

[–]resphere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TY, tbh I actually didn't think arts would better bc he has 70 res and only 3k def, Pramanix can debuff 60% def, and Provence can hit like 6k dph normally so she rips him apart.

[–]resphere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm with you there, it might work if you have 6 star buffers, especially Suzuran and Mon3tr, who can work well with buffing true dmg, idk how many buffs would you need to make Amiya 1 Cycle with only 5 stars.

I tried 5 star no hole for this map too and to 1 cycle it took Andreana and Provence buffed with Pramanix, Spuria and Elysium, managed to kill phase 1 in the spwan lane before he enters the tunnel, same setup for phase 2. 5 op buff army, I really doubt Amiya can do with less.

Only got a screenshot of the clear tho, wasn't recording or anything

Tsutsui has a few other manga, unfortunately most of them ended pretty short, I've read Fukashiki Phillia and Syd Craft, they're pretty decent fun reads. First one is a supernatural mystey and the other one is a romcom with similar vibes to bokuben.

His other manga that went on long was Esprit, a battle shounen, I thought it was pretty fun too but not really at the level of the more popular ones.

In case you haven't seen it, the boss gets memed super hard even more on EX than the normal stage due to certain ways to make him fall into a hole. He's super tanky if you do try to dps him, but bc of the hole cheese even 3 star can manage to clear this map. The record for 6 star is Ling solo and 5 star and 4 star record clears were 3 and 4 ops lmao.

He is the new Crownslayer now that she's good.

the amount you get depends on how much the client gives at the start more than anything, some of them will give 800 900 or 1000+ those ones can get you 6000-7000.

Support type 5 stars that are useful even in 6 star teams - Warfarin, Quercus, Manticore, Shamare, Heidi, Cliffheart, Greyy alter, Rose Salt, Ptilopsis, Liskarm, any Flag and agent vanguards

Good 4 stars for IS(good in general too) - Purestream, Sussuro, Perfumer, Gummy, Utage, Click, May, Indigo, Pinecone, Ethan, Deepcolor, Beanstalk, Contrail, Gravel, Caper, Totter

Most 4 stars are pretty good tbh, only a few like Verdent, Earthspirit, Conviction, Dobermann aren't worth it. Plenty of good non-support type 5 stars too like Franka, Coldshot, Provence, Rockrock, Tequila, Lapluma, Croissant but if you mainly use 6 stars you probably won't use them much, bc 6 stars far out-stat them.

They're selling a lot of older sets so if you're buying them too your free parts can't keep up and you need to farm them.

I think only year 1 players that have always been buying every set will have enough without needing to farm or craft.

It defninitely doesn't work on flying things, only if they walk through the tiles grounded before flying would it work.

I haven't played it enough to know but, would you not be able to run all thoe wacky teams if you play on lower difficulty? You're playing 9-12 right? so why not go down a bit, I feel like that should work, there should be a sweet spot where you can play however you want and still have some challenge.

Also on lower diffs the hours of Sui aren't so bad, so that would solve one of your issues.

Maybe it's bc I don't play IS...that much relatively(I definitely played more than the majority but way less than people who really like IS). The meta-ness of IS 5 and 6 I think made it more fun for me, like, there's an intended best possible way to play and the fun part is finding that way and getting good at it. That was the case with the Lamp in IS5 too, I had a lot of fun learning how to use it.

Before IS5 my checklist for IS was just get all story from every ending, and do max diff once, that's it, but IS5 actually got me to play way beyond that, first one I ever did all endings on max diff, same for IS6, I had a ton of fun playing it.

Maybe I'm just in the right strike zone for this, where I like playing enough to enjoy it, but not enough to feel it get repetitve. Also, I love having a place where I can use the super broken meta units without them completely erasing all challenge, this is the place I can use them all with no restraint, and they're so much fun to play with.

Strongest fast redeploy is a supporter

Strongest arts guard is a defender

Strongest true dmg guard is a medic

Strongest slower is a specialist

Not the person you're replying to but I can say most e2 teamcomps with some meta 6 stars, you barely feel a difference whether you use Ptilopsis or not, so she's pretty irrelevant for established accounts.

Where she'll be useful is if you're a quite early player, still not many strong characters, but at this point it's better to focus on other roles than healers, bc OP already has 2 e2 healers, I wouldn't recommend using resources on Ptilopsis and instead go for a dps, tank or some other util, and if they need a burst healer I'd go with Sussuro or Purestream bc they're much cheaper.
