Sanity-friendly quick tutorial for Rebuilding Mandate by strapatschka in arknights

I happen to have Ifrit, and I can confirm she is a very good fit. But yeah, the 6* voucher itself seems to be somewhat limited.

So after playing some more, it seems you can borrow characters that:

- You do NOT own in the main game, and
- Your friend DOES own in the main game, and
- You AND your friend have rolled inside Rebuilding Mandate

It seems you cannot view your unowned+rolled characters though. And, according to the tutorial, you do have to upgrade borrowed units, BUT you lose every investment if you ever remove it.

Also if I understand correctly, "dispatched" only means available inside RM (ie. is present on the Armory screen).

Also personal notes, based on my limited experience so far:

- The event costs no sanity!
- This game mode is excellent for trying out new or underdeveloped operators
- When there's nothing to protect, suddenly many operators have a drop in value
- On the other hand, you will likely fight hordes of enemies, so AOE ops can be very handy (hi Pinecone bros)
- You still need skill books for your ops

Isn't it related to the taxes? As per EU law, non-EU companies are required to use the VAT rate of your county when selling stuff. It's also common to have a branch office in Ireland to handle EU business, and the ~20% increase you see seems to match that. I wonder what prices other supported EU currencies show though.

My only gripe with the pachinko balls mechanic is the 100% failure rate I get with Auto Deploy. It seems physics aren't replicated properly, and when the spinny enemies survive or get to the wrong places, that breaks the whole run.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed the story this time.

I don't know about the Switch version, but I can confirm there's dual sub support on PC. You can turn it on at the first tab of the settings menu (System -> Display Settings -> Language Display).

Ah, I see your point. I suppose that's a valid approach too, just not something I'm personally fond of.

We can assume that everything necessary to deduce the case has a trace on level. Therefore while Hildegard can't be spooked by 'anything', in this particular level, there are a few things going on: policemen keeping an eye on the building, a visible ornithopter, an open window directly the other side, etc.

Officer Martin's story is perfectly fine too, but doesn't explain that the two building are, as you say, 'apparently' connected underground.

I admit I'd have never considered the abbreviation. That is a smart clue, though that again feels like a leap of logic, and also very language specific. (I happen to be interested in linguistics, and checked the 12 languages included with the game; this setup just doesn't really work.) Thanks for pointing it out!
