What the fuck was Hypergryph thinking? why is the whole meta of the game determined by this bitch now? dps higher than trashter the holungday and more versatile...>be me, work at HG>need new whale bait>make a unit with higher dps than surtr and deployaple 4 times as much>players somehow fine with this>cool dayAre arknights players just retarded? is that it?
>>1195340I wouldn't know since I never played the game, but considering all the normalfags probably left this game for genshin, it's pretty telling if all you have left are retards
hard cope, the genshin community is the most retarded one
>Implying Texas doesn't deserve to replace SurtrBesides if I've survived this entire time without surtr then you can without texas alter.
>>1195478>Besides if I've survived this entire time without surtr then you can without texas alter.This, no wet chen, no sutr, and I've also survived just fine.Just got Mlynar so even if I miss texas, I can cope
>>1195478i know but that's not the point, future events will be made knowing such bullshitly op ops exist, making max cc and shit impossible to optain without them
>>1195729>max cc
>>1195729>oh noes all the max cc videos use meta characters so i can't copy itMax CC are always more of a puzzle and whether you have the right puzzle piece or not. If you really care about doing max cc you should be rolling for every character anyway. Unless by max cc you mean copying that one video where you have all the necessary characters.
>>1195991fuck you nigger, i've been doing max cc since cc beta without all the annoying shitty meta operators they released, your point is invalid here
Why is spot's skin not on sale what the fuck
>>1196392Vid or hoax. Well, joke aside, I never said you need those meta breaking unit for max CC, tho? >making max cc and shit impossible to optain without themDid Chalter ever being a must use for max CC? No? Then one more broken shit won't matter then. Your point are invalid.
>>1197237retard, broken shit do matter, did you look at the last cc in CN? all the runs used texas, you're delusional or just braindead and like using trashter
>>1197195who cares, it's spot lmao
>>1197195It was event gift, those are added to cc shop after (quite) a while.
>>1197279Have YOU tried without Texas tho? What's the chance all those chink just want to take the easy way out by using Texas? Surely you aren't the type to just copy someone else video, right?
>>1195340I got her for free through hard work of saving pulls for weeks so I'm not complainingIt's called "being rewarded for playing the game"
>>1197595duh??? i didn't even raise her, tf are you on
>>1198567I asked you to try without Texas so obviously you don't need to use her. To me it sounds like you're just mad that you can't copy chink's video because you don't want to use Texas.
Literally unbeatable
>>1198734I'm fucking stuck on her back alley, I just can't get that bomber son of a bitch in time, nigga is fast, tanky, passes by everyone like nothing and leaves massive spear of continious damageWHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING WITH HIM
>>1199953Don't bother just play IS3
>>1195340The most bland white bread looking bitch of the whole gameDunno why people like her
>>1200915agreed, surtr is on that side too, bland operators are boring.why did hp decide to give them of all ops the meta?
should I try to max is2it's pure autism tier grind
>>1195340>oh no this girl that only has a gimmick on doing damage can do slightly more damage than Surtr on certain conditions while not being invencible for several seconds and having a huge AoE lineWow. Anyway, you suck cocks for a living. Just wait until poor Surtr gets a module, I guess.
>>1201068you fucking retard, not only is her dps higher but she can be deployed 4 times as much
>>1201986Yes her dps are higher for that one second before she get one shotted by hard hitting boss. Ah, sorry, 4 seconds because she will be one shotted 4 times.
>>1201068>Dealing damage is now a """""gimmick"""""
>>1202000my goodness you are retarded, you don't drop your operators directly on the boss?If that's how you play the game no wonder your opinion is so shit...And anyway, enemies that aren't bosses exist? what the fuck even was supposed to be your point
>>1195340yes, that's why almost all turbo autistic clears are done with KirinXYatosee you in 3-4 months
So now that her banner has left can we all agree that the sky did not in fact fall in and that while texas is a solid operator with a strong and hyper specific role she has not destroyed the game going forward? I mean damn the way she was hyped up you'd think she had replaced surtr yet here we are and surtr is still the best boss killer in the game.
black Pill me on this franchise
>>1204904suck a dick surtr fanboy
>>1205017China took over the kemonomimi market.
>>1195340idk but Texas is ugly and basic
>>1205070Not enough deviantart multi-colored hair?
>>1205050don't visit the link, it releases mustard gas
>>1205046I'm a texas fanboy. I don't even have nor pulled for surtr.
Thinking of buying Passenger from the store and the Pink Dog from the pick ticket...
Just coming in to say that holy SHIT why did nobody tell me this game's music hits so hard? Spanning over every genre, actually competent English, good riffs, a Jeff and Casey Williams piece, a fucking British-style patriotic song? Like I don't even care that much for the gameplay, the ED music is more than enough.
>>1206146He's good, but if you're tight on yellow, you should probably keep for the most broken ops, considering we'll soon be getting a lot less yellow serts.
>>1206325>considering we'll soon be getting a lot less yellow serts.y doe
>>1206356After yato event all 1st year units will be moved to separate banner with new type of certificate.
>>1206325There shouldn't be any outright broken ops I don't have at this point. There's only a few recent standard ops that I don't have that I want, Passenger, Pink Dog and Horn.
>>1206372Well then...
>>1198734>>1199953I did beat it. You roll out a support with slow and unleash insane amounts of firepower on the damn arsonist wolf. Just don't allow him to get close to you.>>1206146Got him and will agree. He's strong. Back then he was the weakest 6 star until buffs to him and his own module made him very useful. Goldenglow also replaces a good chunk of casters. She's that good.>>1206256Both the various tracks and the personalized operator tracks are all awesome.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB3HBl35BRE&ab_channel=AcoL
>>1206256>>1206407Almost forgot. Even the boss themes are awesome.
>>1206406That's why I'm mostly whifwhaffly. It's a harder choice when it's not pure utilitarian in why I'm getting a op.>>1206407I don't really use casters a ton anymore. Pink Dog is more to make going way down in the mines nicer as she's my most borrowed unit there.
>>1206412>the minesLet me guess? Mudrock's Collossi?
>>1206414No, SSS. She's just really good there.
>>1195729>future events will be made knowing such bullshitly op ops existPeople have been saying this for years and E1 and 4* squads still clear all but the hardest stages
>>1198734I'm new to the game, been playing for around 9 weeks and got through this easily, I've only got unit's E1 lvl 65 and below.
>>1195340New player here, I've had some unbelievable fucking luck with rolls apparently based on the percentages I've read. Started mid april.I've spent no money and have been rolling everything so far to expand my roster.So far I have these 6*'sMlynar, Exsuiai, Bagpipe, penance P2, Rosmontis, Ceobe, Kal'tsis, Nightingale, Shining P2, Weedy and Eunectes.Since resources are so limited which three should I focus on taking to Elite 2?
>>1210248Exusiai, Ceobe and Kal'shitMlynar is a boss killer memeWeedy and Rosmontis are too nicheWho needs healers anywayDunno about Eunectes, never looked at her kit
>>1210260Mlynar has gotten me through all the hardest content I've faced so far though.I'm glad you said Kal'tsis because she's my favorite, Ceobe doesn't seem that much stronger than my rockrock of equal investment and yea Exusiai is a fucking beast I figured she'd be a suggested E2. I got 3 6*'s in a 10 pull, how rare is that?
>>1210269>Mlynar has gotten me through all the hardest content I've faced so far though.without his s3? really?>Ceobe doesn't seem that much strongerher s2 was the highest single target arts dps skill in game iirc. dunno if that changed with sexas. and you can swap her with mlynar, since his s3 seems more useful for you>Exusiai is a fucking beastuntil mid game. high def enemies still fuck her hard> I got 3 6*'s in a 10 pull, how rare is that?I didn't even manage to get 2 in a single 10 pull.t. playing for 3 years
>>1210290Yea his super High HP lets me drop him for when enemies come out that normally just wipe my team, he just soaks it up, also S1 has been good enough to take any boss down, I scrapped through that last events wolf thanks to him sitting at lvl 70 E1.So Ceobe is actually really good, good to know her and rockrock are my only single target Art dealers.I'm just a dumbfuck I think I generally only think of characters in their role and I've only really used her for dropping fliers, fliers have been my bane so far.So really fucking lucky cause I've also rolled 2 6*'s in 10 pulls twice outside of that triple already too.
>>1210295>Yea his super High HP lets me drop himthat makes sense>I've only really used her for dropping fliersplease don't use casters for air targets, that's a sniper's job. not only do casters cost twice as much, but they are pretty shit at taking down air targets too.>fliers have been my bane so farthen exu should be your priority>So Ceobe is actually really goodshe needs her s2 masteries though. e2'ing others would make more sense since you don't really need ceobe's s3
>>1210299I meant I was using exu exclusively for fliers and not as a DPS in levels without them.
Any 4 stars worth promoting to e2?
>>1210248Kill yourself, but also focus on Mlynar first as he can brute force the majority of the game. Afterwards maybe Penance, Exu, Kal, your pick really.
>>1215177anyone you like since they don't really cost much.
>>1215177yes, those that make your penis become the big penis since theyre dirt cheap
>>1215177in terms of meta, Myrtle and GravelTotter's can hit invisible enemies and his s2 damage vs solo enemies is also formidableUtage can act as a poor man's TexalterVigna has big dick damage for a charger vanguardMay has stuns (essential in is3)Cuora can facetank anything
how the fuck am i supposed to kil the fag to talk when he just nukes everything near him? even baiting doesnt work he just two shots everything and if not then i get fucked with the neuron shit
>>1216209Horn works like a charm on the line on top.
>>1216218NTA butwhen the fuck is her next banner?or shop?
>Spend two 10 roll headhunt permits to hope to get Ebenholz>Get a 6 star on the 2nd try>I get Dorothy's token insteadFuck it. I will get Ebenholz on the 4th Anniversary event via to senior operator voucher. Should've left all of this for the MonHun event.
Are you going to pull for the new alter?
>>1226059no i'm pulling for harmonie
>>1226059Reed is neat but I'd rather save for the beyblade.
>>1226092this.
>>1226059She's the only op I'm interested in between now and typhon arrival so yeah.
>Spark for skalter not realizing ling returns two months later>now a month away and only have 130 pulls of currency with merit tickets pushing it to 158Well shit. If I finished the story would I have a shot at hitting spark by the end of the banner? Everything post chapter 6 is untouched.
>yolo 10 pull>ReedBros I did it as a joke, my luck... it's fading....
>>1228181you will never get yato broit's over
>>1228190Nyo.....How will I live without horny Yato..
Man I kinda hate the new SSS maps...
>>1229381I feel kind of the same but the new devices that let you do some wacky shit like 0-cost specialists and giga buffed abyssals definitely make up for it
>its another "event boss one shots most operators in its path, has 5 different mechanics and revives" episodei hate this game sometimes
>>1229631I wish they would at least write the boss mechanic in a more simpler, easier to understand format instead of a fuck huge wall of text that barely explains shit.
skill issue.
>>1229631I used Mudrock to tank Elbana (or more like a vision of her because that's what this boss actually was). Deployed Horn earlier for artillery fire and when I managed to get some space, I dropped Młynar next to her. Also put Margaret Nearl next to Horn to heal her. With all of this I could focus more on everything else. Good thing I had quite the number of defenders.
>>1210248kal' tsit is your best bet, mont3r is a tank, can be fast redeployed and its true damage makes it reliable in most content, mylnar is a close second but his downtimewould require a lot of planning, bagpipe is one of the most versatile, with s2 she can hold lanes, and her s3 makes her a very decent damage dealer, and can be a boss killer if you also have, and use zima S2
>>1208680they really gave up un the furry idea, huh
do the SSS challenge modes also give you secret medals?
>>1215661Utage is great to throw on top of an enemy you want dead, or close to dead. I treat her more as a specialist than a guard
>>1230049We get Waaifu dad in the next CN event but god knows if they ever add a new furry. There was also Gambino from Texas event.
>>1229842now do it without a bunch of op units. The game its always the same, either bruteforce with any strong unit until you win (wich is easier today since back in the day was either silverash or surt, now we have a fuckton of those), or memorize the entire stage. Just time when a certain enemy sneezes so you can activate 3 operator skills 0.3 seconds after that but before the fat unit appears and so on. Its the same every single event. And the writing will never get good
>>1231534Had Totter and Perfumer with me. Maxed out Perfumer is a godsend and Totter will murder anything invisible. And there is a lot of reeds in this event.
>>1231534On that note I should start trying to do summoner only clears again.
>>1231555I need to try this out. I did finally get two summoners.
>>1231569It's pretty fun, but from what I've gathered since the last time I did it is Ling is stupidly strong and has taken a lot of the thinking out if you use her.
>>1231591Sadly don't have any of the Sui siblings and I will pass on Chong.For now I'm focusing on getting the other remaining limited operators and save for other events (all that are left are NTR, Rosmontis and W). Then I will focus on getting the Sui siblings.
>>1231597....brother?I don't have any of em either and I was planning on skipping Chong too.Tho I'm missing NTR, Spectwo and Gavalter.
>>1231606I have Chen Alter (but no original Chen), Specter The Unchained, Gavial The FUCKING Invincible, Texas The (Godmother) Omertosa and Skadi The Corrupting Heart I got from doing a 300 during the Sicarusano event. I lack NTR, Rosie and W. And now I'm focusing on getting those three. Then I will go with the Sui Siblings (along with any other limited operators that will appear in future events but after I get the three I lack, I will be more stingy with my red rocks).
>>1232172I get ya for wanting them all but honestly I never use W anymore and I pretty rarely use Rosemontis.I tend to only go after ops I want or meta setters. I have so many ops invested in thar its easier to pick funsies ones now.

>Yong Yea voices Chongyuethe fuck
New summer event looks rather cute and pretty funny. Sheep with cones on their heads as a enemy? pfff.
>>1235579danke anon
>>1235698Well he has skills.Also about Chong...I'm pulling off a 300 to get Chong, Lin and one of the Sui Siblings. Whom should I choose? Any anon here have the other three? Dusk, Nian or Ling? Though the last one seems something I'd like due to me lacking in summoners...
>>1237860Ling is the most meta one, Dusk is the most waifu, and Nian is... welp.
>>1237860With the upcoming lineup going for full pity on Chong feels like a bit of a poor idea in my opinion.
>voiced by a 54 year old woman
>>1210248kaltsis, mlybar, bagpipe imo
>>1237923Well Ling and Dusk have good Command Center skills. Especially Ling because Chong gets stressed out fast if Dusk and Nian are everywhere else except the Dorms.Nian however has some really nifty skills for the Workshop (I mean 100% byproduct is really, really tempting). Not to mention her S3 and talent buffs Defenders which synchs well with Horn's skill that buffs the damage of all Defenders (which further synchs with SilverAsh and his buff to all Operator attacks). But I think I will go with Ling now, get Dusk next year and then finish on Nian in two years.>>1238054I will have enough rocks for Yato and Noir Alters at that point.>>1238319Well she's essentially a milf...or gilf...and quite the looker too.
>>1235698>Yong yeaIs Arknights trying to be hipster like usual or does he actually have the skill? I haven't watched any of his videos for some years now and i don't think his voice are that good. Well, most english voice aren't that good anyway.
>>1238816Well if you are confident in having enough resources. I'm just looking at the upcoming banners and the only ones I can see myself skipping out on is Chong Yea, maybe Ines and ExExecutor.
>>1238937It's a new meme to hire YT e-celebs to make their fanbase play your game
>>1237923Nian has been pretty useful to me over the game’s lifespan. +20% defender HP was really helpful against the Londinium cannon in Chapter 10. And with her module she gets an incredible amount of defence.
>>1240649Over 3k def is really good yeah
Finally my luck returns. After abysmal 250++ pulls for Reed alter. I got Chong+Lin with free pulls. Come to think of it I also got my first 6* Fartooth in that recollection banner within 5 or 6 pulls. Did I use up all my luck now or it balanced out with Reed's banner disaster?
>>1240756Sounds balanced to me. I got Lin on my 11th pull after a horrid 10 pull.
>>1238937CHONG OUT...
This feels like the dumbest trust auto I've done in a while. It works and it's stable but man it's been a while since I've used Lappy for anything but silence.
>>1240756fuck off I'm 49 pulls in and no 6 star has come yet not even a dupe
Getting Lin in the free event 10 pull feels pretty good, now I got even more pulls for Yato alter.
Aquired the rat in only 51 pulls. I even had caster chips in stock.
>25 certs away from sparking LingI'm gonna do it anons! I'm going to have gone down to 0 pulls getting a spark on texas alter's banner to getting a spark on this one! I'm so glad I didn't miss out after all.
>>1241008>>1241341Did a 300.Got two Chongs, 7 Lins and one Penance.
>>1243901Congrats, which sibling did you pick?
>>1244014Ling. Hoped I'd get one in the rolls (you can actually get them this way but you need some stupidly high luck). Well I wasn't lucky enough to get one in the rolls but for now one bought for 300 points must suffice.Now I'm divided on whom to get next time. Dusk is a powerful caster, but Nian has nifty bonuses to Defenders...and a 100% byproduct rate in the workshop.Now saving it all for the MonHun event.
>>1244603Yeah I've never been that lucky to get one 9f the limiteds that way.Ling is cute, I do like the silly donk sound effects.I feel like Nian would be the best choice next, Dusk I don't think ever sees use anymore even more do since you have Lin.Best of luck on the MonHun banner, may you get a waifued beyblade.
Make sure to fill out the survey and demand more beans.
>>1246593I just want more zalaks
>>1246647Also acceptable. Shaw alter when?
>>1205069Man, Chinese artists are on a whole other level.
Looks like Swalter is a 6* Jaye.
Who do I get?
>>1251723Spec or Lapp
>>1251723depends on what you have really. spectre and lapland are good picks like the other anon said but if you're lacking a good sniper poison's pretty good too. and I personally got a ton of use out of p-red back in the day as well.warfarin's also good although I dunno if she's been kicked out of the meta recently.
>>1251742>>1251780Thanks, I ended up getting Lappland. Also, when should I do the intermezzi and side story stuff?
>>1251780>poison's pretty goodNot that anon, but that gal saved my ass many times.
Is kroos alter good?
>>1252336Unironically no unless you use her in IS for her microstun s1 attacks to stop boss enemies. Otherwise just use Exusiai or Pozyemka for Snipers. Hell her 3 star is better output than her 5 star
>>1252343I've been reminded that Pozy has a l2d upcoming so a bit excited for that now.
>>1252336Yes she's a decent anti air unit. She can't deal with any defense at all thoughIf you have 2 other anti air units, you don't need her
>>1251723Im definitely late here but Specter is arguably the best 5 star in the game. Lappland gets benched pretty fast. HG doesn't let silence do much anymoreNot a massive deal though, I hardly use either anymore
>>1252336decent anti air, mini stuns can be helpful, camouflage can her her assassinate or evade dangerous foes
Why can't I play any other mobile games? Nothing has been able to hold my attention anywhere close to how Arknights has. I've tried half the gachashit out there and it's all overrated, bloated mess with bad ui and worse performance. How is it that one game can do it so right?
>>1254350>Lappland gets benched pretty fast.Nah. Lappdumb is good against Dublinn forces. Her silence skill cancels out their arts resistance.
>>1254812This is the only mobile game other than this one minesweeper game I like that has fun gameplayAlso being free to play doesn't suck fucking dick. My f2p account is able to clear all the late game content
>>1254812Arknights does two things really well: 1) characters and levels have considerable strategic depth and flexibility; with your wits you can beat any level in multiple ways even without so-called op builds, which gives even F2P players the chance to beat all but the absolute toughest levels; and 2) the gacha mechanic is one of the most generous iirc (e.g. if you don't get a 6* in a 10-roll the probability increases with every roll until you get a 6*, then it resets) with frequent banners and often characters are added to the 'permanent' pool, so if you miss a banner you still have a chance to get your waifu.
>>1256939Starts at no 6* by 50 rolls.
I want to start playing this, which character should i reroll for?
>>1257075imo you'll get the best experience if you don't but if you insisthttps://gamepress.gg/arknights/tier-list/arknights-reroll-tier-list-guide
>>1257075In about a month or so there will be a limited time collab banner that will be held with Monster Hunter. The 6 star, Kirin x Yato, is a limited time unit that will likely never ever come back in the rest of the game's history due to how rare collabs are in Arknights, so everyone right now is either saving their f2p currency or earning real money to roll on this banner. If you are a true Arknights fan or even just looking to get into the game, I seriously recommend starting now and waiting for this banner while you earn weekly pulls from in game missions.
>>1257105Ah, one more thing: You are guaranteed to pull her in 120 pulls but depending on your finances that might be too much if you're just looking to be a f2p. It's really up to you if you want to reroll now or not. Maybe you can stomach rerolling until you get her on the first 10 pull haha
>>1257105If he was gonna reroll, he might as well also just reroll the free 10 pull for a guaranteed yato alterNot that I support rerolling. It's pretty gayMy first 6 star was Hellagur who was kinda shit at the time. Now he's fine, but I have like 30 units I use over him
>>1257105how good is she? worth pulling for if you dont care about fomo or nah?
>>1257104I used to follow the gamepress ratings until I had enough experiences of them just being full of shit.This list is like 90% there, but they make some cracked out choices sometimes>chongyue in ANew players aren't going to get much out of him. He's not tanky, has 1 block, and gets most of his power from M3ing he skill 3 (which you can't do until chapter 11 because of the materials you need)>Irene and Specter alter in AThey are perpetually underrating both these units (especially specter, who they continually keep pushing up the ranks on every update of their tier list)>Saileach in S-This is hilarious since you get 99% of her value from a 4 star. No clue why she would be a reroll target>Chen below IreneTheir damage numbers are so close, and they fill the exact same role. The choice to put Chen like 3 ranks below is confusing
>>1257615Very good. No other unit can beat her on large hit box enemies and her s2 ignores atk spd down outright.
>>1257612I support rerolling if you are coming in late on a game and there are characters that will support you well the moment you get them to end game.Otherwise I just roll with what I get. My first three 6* here was Exu, Ange and Ifrit which at the start of the game was a pretty bad set.
>>1257639I got Hellagur, then Nian, then SiegeI didn't even know how bad that was at the time
>>1257643Nian at least is amazing for the workshop.I knew it was kinda shit when I started but rerolling was a pain so I just kept going.I then of course agresivly luckchaded my way to all the meta ops but hey.
>>1257620cool, I'll make sure to grab her then, thanks anon.
New-ish player here (about 1 week playtime). Are there any upcoming operator banners that would help the early game hustle and immediate events, AND justify using roll resources for, instead of saving for Kirin x Yato?Barely scraped by Invitation to Wine enough to nab Kroos Alter on max potential, still going through earlier story missions and LMD/EXP grind and base development and all the exciting busywork. I'm not yet familiar with how generous the game's Orundum rate is (and probably don't have any way to do harder missions like Annihilations that reward it), so I'm unsure of how much of a setback rolling on "random" banners is.
>>1258494>mostima and schwarzPast their prime>Qui BaiPretty good character although she is a perma unit and thus you don't need to erase your stash to get her unless you are just completely infatuated with her designLimited banners >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> perma banners. ALWAYS. As for Orundums, you do the weekly annihilation missions for Orundums. There's a cap for 1800 a week and plenty of guides on youtube on how to clear them with basic 3 stars and 4 stars beginner f2ps will have. It might be daunting but you have to start somewhere. It's a setback to roll random banners like Mostima and Schwarz unless your personal love for them makes it a net positive to roll for them.tl:dr just wait for yato and learn annihilations online. roll with your heart unless there's a limited banner like the upcoming collab
>>1258499Thank you for your wisdom!
>Thinking of m9ing the HornHrrrmmm.....
>>1261495Yeah do it. The only skill of hers I don't use very much is S2, and that one is worth M3ing big time
>>1262539Guess I should whip out the spreadsheet again.Planning on working on these four currently.
I love wasting resources
>>1262602>no m6>trust 0anon, what the FUCK?
>>1262610I have to agree that that's some pretty baby tier sunk cost.
>>1262643>no moduleanon, I....
>>1262646I don't have any modules on anyone.I've been incredibly lazy about them.
>>1262577Maybe our priorities are different, but I've permanently benched texas alterShe's just too easy of an answer to my shit gameplay
>>1262673Sometimes they're really good. Hellagur is really only usable with it (unless you're trying to add extra difficulty for yourself
>>1262765I just want the option mostly. It's just M3ing her 3rd skill as I've already done her S2.I more often find myself going for auto skills nowadays anyway.>>1262769I'm just lazy, that's really all there is to it.
Wasted all of my rolls (253 rolls) and still didn't get Qiubai. Is this 50% chance thing a lie?
>>1263179It's guaranteed 6 star. Not guaranteed banner operator.How many 6 stars have you pulled?
Got Wind Chimes after three rolls. Not gonna spend anymore, saving it for the Monster Hunter banner.
Any important banners to look forward to (and save for) post MonHun collab? I imagine limited Operators get rerun banners every now and then, but I don't know if the global banner schedules follow CN banners to the letter.
>>1263518Non-collab limiteds re-run on the same banner type after a year but never see the same rate up as when they were first introduced.For upcoming, Ines has some unique stuff for a vanguard, same with Mumu that will follow.There's Executor alter after and while he seems fine he also looks safe to skip with how good Eyalters banner looks imo.
>>1263518After blowing up to 120 rolls on the monster hunter banner, I'm not touching any banner until the next limited bannerHopefully I get kirin yato before 120, then I might have a chance at saving 300 for the next banner and I get to guarantee Chen alterGlobal doesn't follow all the banners exactly. If your account is lacking some stuff it might be more worth it to just give a few rolls here and there on joint operation banners. Those are ones that have 4 six star ops on them, and they are the only six stars you're able to roll for.If you have good ops though, I'd really recommend just sitting on resources until their semiannual events. Usually you can save up 300 pulls if you have good self control, and it'll mean you can catch up on limited ops that you've missed over time. It's a good way to completely avoid gambling mechanics
"suboptimal team" clears are what making the youtube views these days.OP characters are just an option for the smolbrains
>>1262602Not a waste if you use them.>no trustWhat a waste.
>>1269793I'm using her
>>1257075New anon here, after some time and reroll i(168) i gave up on getting both silver ash and Exusiai in a account decided to settle with Ash and Siege, so now should i do missions and save for KirinxYato or is there something that i should spend on?
>>1266977And people that resort to watching video have even smaller brain. I enjoy nuking everything on every games that i play and you can't stop me.
Brothers! She is nearing her final form!
Best buff for TFN-4?
>>1270161to avoid fear of missing out, I would do as you said and save my rolls for KirinxYato.She's very strong for more veteran accounts, I don't think she'll be super useful for someone still going through the story however.
What is this game like for a brand new player right now?
>>1277717as a month-old player, it's pretty fun, but it sucks having missed out on a lot of stuff. Beginning is pretty slow going, it takes a while for your base production to get off the ground in any meaningful way. Expect to farm LMD and EXP using sanity with regularity until the fabled self-sufficiency arrives. Don't underestimate three-star units, they'll be your workhorse since they're widely available, cheap to raise, cheap to deploy, and function beats rarity at lower levels. You can clear mostly anything with low rarity operators, if you have some creativity and/or YouTube guides like KyoStinV's stuff. Nobody's judging.For me, the worst isn't having missed pulls or events, it's the fucking materials, man. Everyone requires a shitload of stuff and I have fucking nothing. Probably gonna take another month until I can E2 anyone for that sweet support E2 power.As for permanently missable content, you're looking only at a few collab operators, since everything else reruns eventually, then gets added to an archive that you can unlock and play through later, including getting the welfare operators. Not all of them have been made permanent yet, but everyone will show up eventually. Again, like I said, the bigger catch is not having a fat stockpile of mats on hand, and I can only hope it'll fatten itself by playing naturally somehow.
>>1274699The one with -15% atk on first wave
Got her!65 pulls and I got her and S Noir Corne.Not bad at all.
>>1279325I pulled until I maxed both up in potentials. It was a wild ride. Used up so much originium and headhunt permits. But I got them. Now both are happy.
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV17P41187Du/
Anyone tried the newest mode for Arknights? The one that will last over a month?Would've liked it to be permanent because it's pretty fun...until a raid happens that is.
>>1278007>Again, like I said, the bigger catch is not having a fat stockpile of mats on hand, and I can only hope it'll fatten itself by playing naturally somehow.It will and won't. I'm a long term player that took about a year break and came back a few months ago.I track who I want to upgrade, and what on them I want to upgrade so I can efficiently use my sanity for farming when there's no active event going on, but even then you can see how this current set will eat about half the rocks I have on hand.I dunno for other people but I'm almost always farming to upgrade someone, or pre-farming for a unit I want to roll for in the future.
>>1281214>pretty funI have no clue how this gamemode works. it's so grindy and shit's not fun when you have to restart 100 times to make significant progress. They need to revamp the tutorial and mechanics if they want to make it permament.
>>1281584>They need to revamp the tutorial and mechanics if they want to make it permament.The concept is sound and fun.You are in charge of a settlement in the middle of Sargon and you need to survive in there. You gather resources, construct stuff at your base, research new stuff...only actual problem here is the damn raids. Dear God those raids.Tried to stop one only to be overwhelmed in an instant because it's not like your traditional Arknights levels. They don't come in waves. They pile up on you from the get go. This is frustrating. Not to mention that bosses appear among those raids. Only way here would be grinding long enough to quickly build up my powerbase in order to build up those defenses to slow them all down a bit.
>>1281619the worst part of this gamemode is that your progress could be reset to zero depending how you play it. in other gamemodes like IS2/3, CC, SSS, etc., if you play until you lose you will still make decent progress in the overall game. if you try to build up your base and not abandon it before the raid comes, the mobs will attack the infrastructure that you painstakingly grinded and set you back by a couple of runs. given how raids usually come at around day 4 or so, in my experience i can only build say 6-7 walls on average per run before i have to restart so the raid wouldn't destroy what i have on base. trying to fight the raid before it comes to your base is super difficult given that the fog of war still exists, you lose 1 act at the minimum so you can't focus on grinding for your base, shit terrain, and they come rushing in while you are starting with 0 dp so you can't even print your dp fast enough to build your squad.
>>1281641Aye. If only the raids started out weak and then progressively got larger as time progresses while you can go and still do something about it/still peacefully grind for resources then it would've been more manageable.
>>1281644i don't understand why they make the raids so OP. it should be scaled to the amount of constructs you have in your base. imagine you are on your first run, and by day 4 they expect you to have either a ton of food or a jacked up base that can deal with 80mobs all rushing towards you at once.
Raid stages with multiple blue boxes give me AIDS.
>>1281655I think this mode is more towards people that have a good chunk of well leveled and upgraded operators.I'M STILL GETTING THAT SKIN THOUGH.
>>1281846>I think this mode is more towards people that have a good chunk of well leveled and upgraded operators.i started playing 1 month after the game's release and have a well built roster. even my whale friend who has every op, regularly hits near max risk for week 1 cc still struggled.thank god they still allow you to earn tokens even when you fail
How to deal with these fuckers?They are immortal and every DPS unit gets obliterated before them. Surtr?
>>1282090Stall them maybe?I haven't gotten too far in the game mode yet, but I've started taking as few units as I can, and abused 1 block units and tanks to either stall or single enemies out
>>1282090it's either having medics to help or drop Texas on them twice.
>>1282118>>1282119I was talking about raids. Every second raid in the game these fuckers spawn back to back multiple times and kill all my operators.
>>1282090Jaye can 1v1 it safely. For raid tho maybe texalter/Yato/Reedter/Kalsit.
>>1280747I'm waiting for Endfield drips...
>>1281641Use the rank2 wall, anon. The one that redirect enemies and have camo.
>>1282523>Seconds before tragedy.jpg
>>1282523Y-you can do it, Pozemka!
>>1282345i used rank1 walls because it's hard to farm shit but after 20 rounds i had a shitty maze set up and could fight normal raids.
>Finally got kirin yato hitting pity with the ticket 10 pullokay so what's her best skill to run, s2 or s3? I see s3 hits aerial enemies but I already have texas for that and her s2 looks like it just plain nukes things so I'm leaning towards that right now.
>>1288388I just M3 both. S2 is to destroy the tile in front, S3 is "fuck this whole line".
The collab event was fun.Hoping the Destiny one will also be fun.
>>1195340I don't even care about these "meta" ops. I just pull for them to get them. I haven't leveled any new ops after Ling. You don't need these broken characters, if you don't do max CC.
>>1294938Same.Eventually you end up with operators that can deal with every level. The last couple of "THIS is a gamechanger operator" I've gotten are more often than not left on the bench. It comes down to how, not if, you want to beat the levels, and what operators you want available in your game. I've already got a great team, why not just pull for exclusive and/or cute ones now?
>>1195340As someone who dropped this I feel Arknights is a pretty well balanced game considering the state mobile games are in right now. Maybe this changes later, but I didn't care enough to go past where you kill that dumb bitch and everyone pretends it's sad.The problem is that it's just a shitty boring gacha game with nothing interesting going on in it if you're not really into weeb shit.
Final CC soon with Muddy in the store too.
I deliberatley tried to r18 on the first day and failed, and now I am mad, how could this be happening to me?
Amiya is pretty PRETTY SHIT LMAO REKT
uhhhthe humanoid characters in this game has 2 human + 2 animal ears?? how does this work?
>>1304830style > substance
>>1302969Heteful Avenger will wreck you.Just like he did me.On another note, I got Thorns on my first try two days ago. I'm putting all my resources to level him up.
>>1195340Anyone that thinks the meta revolves around sexas2 is shit at the game.Simple as.Same with surtr back in the day or ch'en2 after.
>>1302969I have done risk 16 and dip on all CCs since dawnseeker.Still haven't regretted it, it's boring artificial difficulty for no rewards, just like IS past ascension 7.If it were far less of a pain in the ass or it actually gave decent rewards I would have done otherwise, but it's extremely easy to use risk 18 guides, drop 2 risks, then be easily done with it.Far less stressful, and stopped giving me burnout for the game.
>>1309363I have Texas Alter, but I only use her if there are some really irritating things. Same with Yato Alter. Now that I have max potential Phantom I have no excuses here and I will go out to level him up. I might even go execution-heavy squad...after I try anartificer/drone combo.
RIP Contengency Contract it was fun but I was too dumb for you.>>easy to use guidesI had more fun figuring it out on my own, even if I could barely crack risk 18 with a stacked squad.
Ines wen? I must pull for her.
Elfy welfy
it's always been the case that CN and global get new voices at the same or about the same time, right? I can't wait to try out new russian voices for ursus operators
>>1318016wait, did they announce that?
>>1318328>did they announce that?on the 4.5 anniversary live stream, yeswe get some german voices toospoiler pic includes new ops
>>1318423damn, I have mixed expectations.while we do have some great voice actors here in Russia, they'll probably hire some twink wanks from local animedub studio.
>>1318431They probably just pick some twitch streamers.
>>1318431Vvvvvvvv.cute Suzu fitting for the weather.
>>1318423>Longtrail>The Destiny collab>The 4.5 anniversary event>A new Rainbow Six collab + possible rerun of Operation Originium DustGuys. We're going to have a great time.
what the fuck, 12-13 adverse might as well be its own fucking stage
>>1320385forgot to spoiler the image
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWUkSZyjUyMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcsOm6WSBDAWell this looks pretty neat to me + native pc client possibly.
>>1320980>native pc client possibly.They are recruiting beta tester for PC versionhttps://www.taptap.cn/moment/466377816963809993Here's the recommend spec.
35 pulls for Ines, only got Cement and Humus.Not gonna go further than this. The thighs will have to wait for another day.
>>1320992Well color me excited. Too bad I can't read any of that. Hope it doesn't take too long to get over here.
Brand new Arknights player here. Any helpful tips for progression?
>>1321472Honestly? Just look up guides on how to beat the stages so you know which budget operators to level before blowing resources
>>1321472Just have fun. Trying to maximizer efficiency on a gatcha game is a surefire way to madness.For some useful tips: lvl 90 is a luxury, E2 30 is enough for almost all content. Don't buy headhunting permits from the yellow cert shop unless you can buy the whole rotation (250ish certs). Don't bother rolling on standard banners with 2 featured units, the odds of getting what you want are garbage. Check out a recruitment calculator, learn which tags guarantee 4*/5*
>>1321472Always set recruitments for nine hours, and the current 4* gaurenteed tags are support, shift, fast-redeploy, and slow paired with caster. once you max out the 4*s in the recruitment pool each of those will become a guaranteed certificate, 255 yellow certificates gets you a full summon ticket rotation in the cert shop. also always keep an eye out for "top operator" and "senior operator" tags as the former guarantees a five star and the latter guarantees a six star.
>>1321472You don't need to focus on 6 star operators straight away. They are often powerful, but you could level up a couple of 3 star operators instead of a single 6 star, and they will be able to deal with the majority of the maps. There's a reason why you keep seeing "low level clear" guides on youtube even this late into the games life. Get a solid team of 4-5 stars, find out who you like, level them up, and go from there.Don't fall for the "You have to get this character!!!" hype that pops up once in a while when banners appear. I've fallen for that more than once, gotten the operator, maxed it, and then ended up rarely using it. There will always be a next must-have operator, just take it easy and get what looks good to you. I recommend you get to the annihilation maps sooner rather than later. Use guides if you have to. Once you've beaten them once it's "free" orundum every week.Be aware of the packs you can buy with originium (the yellow hexagon thingy) . They are worth buying. After having bought them all don't use originium for anything other than skins or maybe pulls if you're desperate.
I'll just say chapter 12 mechanics are turbo gayyes I am coping because the boss stage whooped my ass
>>1322080I haven't even made it out of chapter 9 lmao that mandragora boss fight is way too hard
>>1321472Don't go straight up for 6 stars. Not every is that powerful (though if you want to beat episode 9 you MUST have a E2 Nightingale). Focus on getting the good 4 and 5 stars first.
>>1321472>>1323054Sorry I meant episode 8. The final boss of the Reunion Arc WILL fuck your shit up. Oh. And in any case. You go and get Perfumer too. Her maxed out with a maxed out potential and module will give your whole squad some much needed survivability.
Thinking bout buying the horse....
I like this game but... I get consistently tired and worn down by the introduction of new enemy gimmicks every new event.
>>1324318Blemishe? I didn't roll her and instead did the tough decision and bought her from the store. She's strong but you need to level her up to E2 to make her valid.
>>1324907Blemi yeah. I don't really need another defender let alone another healing one, but I still kind want her.
>>1324928Pick with your heartIf your heart can't decide pck with your dick
somehow I managed to squeeze through H12-1, the boss is pure cancer.
>>1324947The former is looking at my spreadsheet and despairing at the ops I still have to wait to even use and the later just wants her sister in a suit.
>>1324928Her ability to make all allies with def recovery skills gain 1 SP when attacking is neat. Sleep is fun, even more when you get the whole squad.
the Russian voice acting is actually good, wow.
>wandering medics can't remove cold status effectswhat the fuck?
>>1325713anon, your therapists...
>>1325717what a retarded mechanic
https://twitter.com/AKEndfield/status/1721361809310191904so endfield takes place after AK after everything with RI is over?
>>1328373Timeline in AK itself is already a mess and now they throw this in to complicate things further.
>>1328373Endfield is saved.
So anons how's that upcoming limited vanguard chick? worth chasing or nah?
>>1329447Solid bosskiller, let's you cheat out one early blocker, poor dp regen
>>1329453All in then. I like me my boss killers
242 to get the mumu. I was planning on going to 300 anyway so spec2 or ntr is now the question.
>>1329671NTR can just ignore the maximum unit deployment and does true damage making her a competent boss killer.Spec2 with her maxed module and E2 can literally obliterate and slow hordes of enemies.Now I have a problem. I got the 6 star voucher and I don't know whom to get.The 6 stars I don't own are:- Lee- Weedy- Ebenholz- Flametail- Mizuki- Ch'en- Ifrit- Hellagur- Ceobe- Saria- Mostima- SuzuranWhom to choose? I want Ebenholz so that I won't need to roll for him when his event gets a rerun. But I also want Saria due to her utility. Then again a whole lot of ops here are really good. Whom to choose? Hell, even Flametail is good because if I got her then I'd have the whole Pinus Silvestris team and all Kazimierz operators.Darn. That's hard here for me.
>>1329792I've borrowed both of them equally but I have more boss killers as it stands.For you I would vote Saria. She's almost always on my team and sees use with all three skills everywhere.
>>1329792Of these I'd go 1)Saria2)Lee3)Ifrit4)Ebenholz5)Flametail 6)Suzuran7)Weedy8)Mostima9)Mizuki10)Ceobe11)Hellagur12)Ch'enSaria is vital as a Defender. You might have Mudrock but there are definitely stages where you want both of them on the board. The rest is really up to you but Ifrit is a great lane AOE manager in Annihilations and Lee is a good funneler for mass enemy waves with his S3You have Mountain/Thorns/Eyja so you have pretty much everything meta besides Saria anyway, have some fun if you don't feel like picking her
>>1329792I'd pick Ifrit, if you have a good team already.She's not an operator that shines in every single map, but if she can cover 3+ tiles she's absolutely deadly.It's fun to plan a map out around her.
>>1329792Best bang for the buck will be Saria because her healing and res debuff skills makes her really useful. Many ops can fulfill each of her different roles but she got all that in one package which makes her so useful. The next closest will be suzuran with her s3 and useful s2 for afk, but go for saria in this case.Other than that I see the rest as just secondary, assuming you have a well built roster. Lee and Weedy are fun ops that can unlock unique strats that are impossible without them, but both require investment (at least E2). Mostima is similar in that aspect but require even larger investment (E2, M3 and with module) to make her worthwhile. The rest are either replaceable or niche to the point you kinda have to build your team around them. I find Ebenholz is pretty satisfying to use but you kinda have to work around to get the most out of him since he can waste his charge on a trash mob instead of the boss. Can't say much about flametail because I don't have her.Personally I will pick in order: Saria (utility), Lee (very fun to use), weedy (harder to use but still fun), Suzuran (utility), ebenholz (satisfying to use). The rest are more of less the same for me.
>>1330264To further support Saria she was the second most used unit in the final CC only after the dp goblin which shouldn't suprise anyone.
things are happening in the event so fast you get two whole story levels at the end, I like it>mrw event page changes once you complete all the stages
>>1329806>>1329812>>1329835>>1330264>>1330523Chose Saria. The others I will have to look out for chances.
>>1328373It's pretty obvious that kristen will become a bridge between Arknights and Endfield eventually. Probably will be a cameo character or some amnesiac high rarity character that drops vague hints.
Looks like cc has risen from the ashes. I'm not too suprised really.
So what's the best use for Originite Prime? Rolls or Sanity?I'm on turbo saving mode because for once in my life i want to reach the 300 rolls to get Wet Chen for the next anniversary, not this one since my resources are already fucked
>>1339515Anon not even giga whales use OP for sanity when the monthly card gives daily stamina pots
>>1339551But is the monthly card enough to get a spark for the next anniversary? not the one in december but the one in 2024? I want to get Wet Chen so i want to save up like a madman regardless of everything, although i do admit i want to buy a few skins so i'd appreciate some advice
>>1339569Monthly card is one of the better overall purchases you can make for the game.
Whens the next broken OP coming out?
>>1339569Do save them for rolls and also do farm rocks, yellow certs, etc.Good luck getting missed limited lmao. Unless you sacc'd or swipe you're in for a major headache.
>>1339682Soon. Prep for Executor Alter.
>>1195340I never liked Genshin (and wont) but I kinda got and itch for gacha games and want to give this a shot as a kick back in my bed to play some turn based games with waifus. Is it worth it? Im downloading the extra content atm.
>>1340052It's good, just don't get obsessed with collecting every unit. Take it slow and have fun
>>1339756I'm only aiming for limited Chen and that's it
just play with the units you like anon :) like pokemon
>>1340164You won't be disappointed in her. On E2 with her S3 she's a total devastator. Especially when paired with someone who debuffs enemy defense.
>Pinch out on the 5thGoddamn I just want to farm some chips.....
thinking about getting this game couple of questionshow's the gameplay, is it an actual game or just an excuse to have a gacha machine?is there any FOMO shit?do i need to do dailies like they're chores?
>>1353018There's legitimate gameplay, a good player can beat with 4* units content a crappy player can't do with a meta teamIt's a gatcha in its fourth year, if you have collection autism you will have a bad time. The game doesn't try to force you to get the latest units to be competitive and there is no pvp. There are limited units, 4-5 per year, whose banners never rerun, and if you want a limited you missed you need to make 300 rolls on a future limited banner which gives you a temporary currency that you can buy old limiteds with. The limited units aren't generally any stronger than standard pool units.Not really, the things you "need" to do daily are tend your base (takes ~3 minutes) and spend your stamina. You can auto stages you have cleared, but you need to wait for the auto to finish and start the next auto. We're going to get continuous auto in a few months, but no skip
>>1353018>gameplayADHD sim>FOMO shitlimited chars, items with expiry date(mainly stampots)>dailiesLate in the game, you can do daily missions without hitting any battle(~5 mins), dailies+highest sanity battles(~10 mins), or dailies+event node/rock farming(30+ mins). Pick your poison. Expect longer time with unoptimized account.

what did they mean by that
>>1353757nevermind, I'm retard.
>>1353725Jesus that's a long fucking survey.
>>1353959Long but a single one. I'm in the ZZZ CB and there's been like 12 surveys that are about half that length or so.
>>1195340Joined this game like 3 days agoI have no idea what im doingDo you guys think this team is decent for ealry game?
>>1354122Swap two units (i'd pluck jackie and earthspirit) with vanguards and you're golden.
>>1354179>filenameI think he likes Jackie. Dump Catapult instead.
>>1354122I'd dump catapult and earthspirit, add a vanguard and kroos. You could also use a second caster for stages with high def enemies, but thorns and lapp probably do enough arts damage to cover that role
trying to install arknightsit keeps downloading resources to a certain point, then stops and restarts at an earlier point (ex. 50% -> 25%), eating up more storage than it said it would downloadafter a while, it says that the network disconnected (even though it didn't)tried reinstalling, restarting device before opening the app, deleting cache, deleting storage, fix resources button
Am I missing something with Yato? I thought she was supposed to be really good or one of the best units in the game but she seems straight up worse than Texas with her S2?Like I can deploy Texas with her S2 and she'll kill the robots on this POO map but deploy Yato with S2 and she does maybe 10% of its HP before the 16-hit combo runs out.Not baiting or anything, just legitimately new and clueless so some guidance would be appreciated.
>>1358191Robots have absurd phys defense and Yalter is physical while Texalter is mixed with res reduction.
>>1358193That makes sense, thank you. Should I be getting/aiming for module 3 on Yato? And is S2 her go-to skill or should I be on S1/S3?
>>1358195NTA but her mains are S2 and S3. Her module is super good but not something you should be prioritizing if you don't have a lot of resources yet. You're better off focusing on upping her S3 to Mastery 3 first since it's by far her best and most versatile skill. S2 is also good, but you already have Texaslter for that.
>>1358201S2 has the advantage of ignoring aspd debuffs so that is one weird niche she has still.
>>1358191To just elaborate bit more overall. Arknights has three damage types: Physical, Arts and True.Physical is reduced by a flat amount and always deals at least 5% of the the attack. The robots in POO have 1,200 defense and there risks that will double that or more.Physical is a flat reduction, so if a character's hit does 800 and they strike the robot it will only do 40 damage due to the min 5% rule. This means multi-strike physical units will utterly destroy low defense enemies but will quickly struggle once defense starts increasing. A example of this is Exusiai.Arts is percent based reduction, 20 resistance equals a 20% damage reduction from arts. As you have already seen with Texalter however res reduction or ignore is quite often built into the kit of the stronger units and is quite a bit stronger than defense ignore/reduction.True damage is what it sounds like if you have played enough games. It doesn't interact with the above two forms of damage reduction and is generally limited in scope. Easiest source without nonsense is Kal S3.Pinch out isn't a great example to go by for how chunky enemies can be as the stats are ridiculously inflated in this event. Even compared to CC.
>>1358191you're supposed to level your ops to e2 90 anon
>>1358837kek
boss descriptions are unfucked now10/10 update, unironically
>>1363144I like this new UI, but why is Elemental RES/Resistance on the stat block twice? Are they actually different things?
>>1363152>Are they actually different things?yes
>>1363161>yesExplain further.
>>1363207basically elemental damage mechanic can now affect enemies (think fire, corrosion, etc but with different status effect) that when triggered deals damage over time, and since all enemies have 0 elemental res it's essentially true damageon CN I think there's only 2 operators who can deal elemental damage, latest being Virtuosa
Pinch out was pretty meh and I can't say I'm super fond of this events mechanic either.
>>1363276I kinda miss dossoles cars. Sure it hogs the shit out of your fps but it was FUN.
is this game supposed to be this fucking hard i can barely clear missions 2-5 etc had to open a guide for those too
>>1363495Anon, just follow the recommended level.
>>1363532my current missions are lvl recommended lvl 30 and im still struggling
>>1363495Sounds like a skill issueWhat are you having trouble with, ranged enemies? Casters? Heavies?
aiee I hate civvies
>>1363537Just keep using guides then decide if this game is still for you. No need for brainworks.
>>1363537What are you having trouble with though? Early shit should be pretty easy with exia
>>1363537arknights is not a game you can speedrun through with low level units anon this is a multi month game your first week should be spent farming ascension mats, by the time you hit chapter 2 you should start having elite 1 operators
Exalter is really comfy. Can Skalter heal him? Ange?
>>1367053I haven't tested it but no reason why they shouldn't. You can pretty well always heal units that can't be directly healed through passive healing.
>>1367053Reapers can't be healed. They can only regain health by damaging people.
>>1367735Regeneration can heal unhealablesSkadiva, Angelina, Perfumer, Heavyrain
executor alter should've been able to shoot air units
>>1368616The life of a Reaper Guard...
>>1367791>Skadiva, Angelina, Perfumer, HeavyrainForgot about Angelina and Perfumer.Didn't check out if Skadi Alter can fix him.Didn't get Heavyrain yet but now that Doc Kal's event got a record restoration I will go and check her out.
>>1369937Don't bother, Heavyrain's healing is pissShe's only good for two things - camouflage and hard atk-down stages (her healing is flat and doesn't scale with atk)
It is Scene's birthday today, please say something nice about her.
>>1369947Thanks for the tip.Also now that the Undertides record restoration hit some time ago, I will now focus on upgrading Gladiia.
I've been getting bombarded with ads for this games the last few weeks and wanted to know if you can play without spending money
>>1370550Yes. Some people exclusively use low rarity units to clear most if not all the content.Paying money will make your life easier and let you get high rarity units faster.
>>1370550Yes, as long as you're not obsessed with collecting every unit. Powercreep is tame, stages are generally more puzzle than stat checks, and there is no pvp or leaderbords to force you to compete with whales
so what is endfield? Is it meant to be a genshin ripoff?
>>1370631From the gameplay, not really? Sure it has 3D action fights, but it looks like a decent focus is on factorio autism which has me a bit excited.
>>1370550Yes.I've played this for years and never spent any money. I can reach every goal for every event. Paying money helps you progress faster and increases your chances of getting units - but it's in no way necessary.
>Didn't get into the endfield betaPain....
Just started, is this any good? Thorn is potential 1, what should be my mainfocus to progress my account? Couldn't even get past the halfway mark of the dumb civvie event. Also, howdoI unlock old events? Is there one I should prio for the welfare?
>>1373319Not much to comment on with just 1 6*. Thorns is a good starter, proviso is meh as a unit but has a ridiculously good trading post skill, Elysium is a top tier vanguard. If you managed to clear half the stages with just a few E0 50 units you're doing very wellYou unlock old events from the side stories and intermezzi menus, you can unlock one event a week. Some good priorities are under tides for Gladiia (specialist puller) dossoles holiday for Tequila (guard) and students of Ursus for Absinthe (caster)
>>1373326Just looked them up, Tequila looks like NTRman but Gladiia looks cool, going for her first. Thanks anon!
>>1373326>Thorns is a good starterHe's stupidly versatile. Especially once you get him to E2, max out his 3rd skill and max level him up. He then becomes a force of nature once you activate his 3rd skill a 2nd time.>>1373343Well you have to wait for Tequila until the record restoration for Dossoles Holiday rolls out (got mine with max potential during the rerun).However the record restoration for Under Tides came out some time ago so you can grab Gladiia and her max potential.
Hi! Is this worth getting into now or am I too late?
>>1375474It's never too late bro. Just don't expect to be able to clear the hardest content on two weeks of playtime, it's a slow burn
>>1375474Former. Ideally, it's always best to play a gacha as early as possible so you don't miss out on too many limited-time events, especially ones with meta units, but ultimately it doesn't matter since there are only like a handful of true limited events in this game.
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY LAPPLAND ALTER I'M GOING TO FUCKING RAID YOUR WOMB LOWLIGHT YOU KEK GIVE MY WIFE HER FUCKING ALTER ALREADYalso Lord Module please, give her some cool additional effect since adding more time to the Silence effect would be effectively pointless
>Swalter in free 10 rollMy luck on these limited banners is finally turning back around!
>had to spark Eyja alter>got max pot Swire Alter and no other 6* until sparkI don't know how should I feel about this
What the fuck is this shop sim and why are furniture pieces locked behind it
>>1382046I just click confirm. Supposedly it's enough to get the stuff as long as we do it everyday.
>>1382046First you decide how much shit you want to buy. The higher price you offer, the more shit you'll buy/the less shit your competition will get.Then you decide how much you want to sell that shit for. The lower you go, the more sales you'll get/the fewer sales your competition will get. But of course, you'll make less on each sale.Scouting chances tell you what your competition will do.Just buy Steady or Radical, and undercut your competition by going lowest or second-lowest price.
>>1382196>just buy steady or radicalThat's my plan so far. The ux is fucking garbage as always i can't even be assed to minmax shit.
Is now a decent time to reroll a new account anons?Lost my old veteran account a few months back when I accidentally destroyed my s10 before setting up account transfer and am finally feeling up to starting over.
>>1382890Sure, there is a limited banner ongoing with a lot of free pulls including a free 10 roll to get you started. Admittedly none of the units are gamebreakers that will singlehandedly carry you, but if you're a veteran you shouldn't need the crutch
>>1377834Still waiting for Silverash to get one.>>1381767Well at least you get an Immortal Cat as long as you have DP.
>>1381767I'm in the same boat. I finally built up my roll stash again after having to Spark Chong and now I have to spark again. Fug.
what's a good emulator for ak
>>1386622Nox
>>1383500I'm quite surprised Executor got an Alter version and not popular daddies like Silverash.
hehe, terroratism.
Endfield and Ex-Astris killed /akg/Wish more people moved here to discuss arknights in peace
>>1390890Yeah, it's... pretty bad over there, especially at around this time of day. If this thread didn't move at such a glacial pace I wouldn't look back.
>>1390894It's just a matter of people not moving or wanting to move. I'm in other /vmg/ threads that are actually pretty nice for discussion. The boards good, it's just that most games dont want to put the effort to have a thread here when they can shitpost and be angry at 10 posts per second at /vg/.
>>1390894I check this thread pretty regularly, but the other fellow I talked to here often doesn't really visit the thread anymore so not much to really do deep discussions anymore. Love to hear what others think of the current event. Personally the normal stages with the mist gimmick wasn't too bad but the ex stages are being a bit obnoxious I feel.
>>1390908Kinda weird in a good way? It's mostly about Eyja's past but dolly and his clones is the part that makes it feel different from other events since Eyja is basically getting forced to take a summer break and maybe relax sometimes by a sheep god thing.Weirdest part was porncirus tho like why was she even added to this event? What is the point of her scenes?
>>1390917Ah I'm bad in I haven't read the story yet. These updates always come in the middle of my workday and week so I skip all the story to get to the farming stages then keep forgetting to go back and read the story...
>>1390890>wish more people movrd herelmao no, please stay contained in vg.
>>1390925In gameplay terms, the sheep are very very annoying enemies and the mist is horrible to deal with.
>>1390908>the mist gimmick wasn't too bad but the ex stages are being a bit obnoxious I feel.You can say that again. Funnily enough I actually found EX-8 much easier than EX-6 and EX-7 but that might just come down to me being dumb and taking an embarrassing amount of attempts to remember I could just bait the explosions from pic related with FRD operators. Then there's the caster sheep on EX-7 which stumped me for while too.
>>1390931They are at least cute. Without the mist they aren't too bad and even with they still aren't as bad as seaborne I feel.>>1390932I haven't tried 8 yet. 7 was the first to make me go "okay, what do they actually want here". I did all the normal stages with a more rag-tag team of units I don't use often or are new which was fun but all the ex's did make me switch back to my mainish team.
I really like the music for this event tooBoth misty memories and Eyja's theme song
>>1390917>Porncircus catching a ride in some guy's truck to get to Siesta>Truck breaks down>Now hanging out with the crocodile people in Sargon >Randomly in Columbia the next time she shows up doing work for some uppity nobleFeels like the whole thing could've been her operator record. If I had to guess, it may have been an attempt to show how difficult the infected have it in places like Columbia in order to have the "Columbia trying to assert it's dominance over New Siesta" part of the plot have more weight but it just ends up feeling so utterly disconnected from everything.
>>1390958Yeah, the entire thing with porncircus felt so disconnected.
>>1390962Don't you love marvel movies?
Has the new Sui sister's kit been posted somewhere yet? I understand that she's a healing defender like Saria but I have no idea what her deal is beyond that.
>>1390967Shu6* Defender [Guardian]>Trait Can heal allies using skills>Talent 1When healing allies, plant seeds on the ally's tile and the 4 adjacent tiles, granting the following effects: Recover a certain amount of HP every second and gain a certain percentage of Shelter>Talent 2When there are 3 operators of different classes deployed, all operators gain increased Max HPWhen there are 3 operators of the same class deployed, all operators gain increased Attack SpeedWhen there are 4 [Sui] operators in the team, all operators gain increased ATK and recover 1 SP every few seconds>Skill 1The next attack heals a nearby ally with less than 50% HP (Can hold charges)>Skill 2Stops attacking and focuses on healing up to 2 allies within range. Increase ATK, Block Count and the effect of Talent 1 (Healing has a special interval)>Skill 3Expand Attack Range, can heal allies while attacking, increase ATK. When there are ground enemies within seeded tiles, allies within skill range gain increased ATK and Attack Speed. When enemies pass over seeded tiles, grant the following effect to them: After going a certain distance away from that tile, the target is teleported back to that tile
>>1390971Well that sounds pretty decent. I guess the question is how long does S3 last, can enemies be teleported multiple times, would it kill momentum for enemies like the lancers.
>>1390971Well that seems pretty promising. I'd be curious to see what the numbers end up being on her Talent 2 since I'm a sucker for team buffs and I have just enough Nians to trigger that last effect (I'm still missing Dusk to this very day)
>>1390971>When healing allies, plant seeds on the ally's tile and the 4 adjacent tiles, granting the following effects: Recover a certain amount of HP every second and gain a certain percentage of ShelterWait, how long do the seeded tiles last for? There's no way it's permanent, right?
>>1390948I'm really hoping they make a background for the home screen using this event's lobby music at some point>I don't wanna have to wake up from this daydream~
>>1391039You know, you know, I've always needed you.You know, you know, I really really miss you.What if I closed my eyes and drifted 'til forever to find you?
>Welfare Standard BearerWhat could HG realistically do with this guy to differentiate him from the other flags and give him a niche of his own?
>>1390932>EX-7This one took me so fucking long because I couldn't figure out how to defend the blue box on the right. Totter ended up being my mvp for holding the left box, his skill does so much damage and his range is great for picking off the casters.But overall I kind of hate the cloud mechanic especially on stages without the fountain.>>1391061Each of the flags kind of has their own niche rn, it's probably not that hard to slap some other kind of buff on this guy.
>>1390986Saria's healing is pretty much constant anyway so my actual concern would be whether she can heal reapers and juggernauts or not since the wording make it sounds like it's regen-type healing.
>>1391095>I couldn't figure out how to defend the blue box on the rightFor me it's the Eyjafritcore deathtrap. The big fellas simply have no hope of escaping the slowzone while they get roasted.
>>1391175Giraf spottedAnd no the actual lane isn't the hard part, it's the caster sheep standing below Manticore constantly nuking my Ifrit and Saria because of the pink clouds, and even if I turned it white the wheelie fucks would go over it and turn it back pink again, it was so annoying.
>>1391268Oh right, I forgot they pathed up there. I just went full ungabunga and threw down Blaze S1 and a healing defender to box in all the initial caster sheep and take them out before they had the chance to leave the bottom right which then let me set up a comfy little murderbox down there. A bit of timing involved with Blaze's invuln talent to tank all the casters but it worked out pretty nicely.Also I've gotta say chain casters are great at spreading the white steam around in places that are normally a pain in the ass to reach and making the whole thing less of a headache, but now that I'm thinking about it, Susie Glitter may have been an even better choice if the geysers work with her S3 and allow her to just globally drop white steam all over the place.In any case it was easily the stage that cost me the most brain power this event. Fuck skateboarders.
>>1391349>Susie Glitter may have been an even better choice if the geysers work with her S3Can confirm they do. I used her to cheese a lot of this event by just parking her next to one and spamming her skill button relentlessly.
>>1391061>>1391095>TraitCannot block enemies during skill duration.>Skill 1Stops attacking and recovers DP over the skill duration.>Skill 2Stops attacking and recovers DP over the skill duration. Surrounding friendly units will be healed for a certain amount of HP per second and the attack speed of surrounding friendly units deployed in the same direction as this unit will be increased.>TalentIncreases the HP of friendly units deployed in the surrounding tiles. If they're deployed in the same direction as this unit, increase HP further.Seems like he's a 5 star version of Myrtle but without the teamwide vanguard healing.
>>1391396>Seems like he's a 5 star version of MyrtleMyrtle is a 7* star though
>>1391399Myrtle the flag gremlin... The undisputed queen of Arknights... I kneel...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvKR_OhEMZo
>>1391396The HP increasing effect could be potent if his numbers are good. Raw HP is the best defense against big hitsLooks more like an Elysium than a Myrtle replacement
>>1391408His kit has nothing in common with Ely though.
>>1391414Ely gives atk speed to snipers globally, he gives attack speed to everyone around him
>>1391418Oh yeah, I forgot about the aspd buff. He's a bit of a mash between Myrtle and Ely, except instead of global class buffs he buffs anyone standing around him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSIshhQUx2oChibi and skill effects if anyone is interested.
>>1391418Elysium's cost reduction is good as well but myrtle's lower sp cost is just so hard to pass on.Also since the new guy is a welfare i believe we could get -3 dp from his pot?
>>1391431>Also since the new guy is a welfare i believe we could get -3 dp from his pot?Yeah, but keep in mind that welfare ops usually have a higher starting DP cost than others of the same archetype + rarity.Insider for Instance has -3 DP from his pots but still ends up costing 12 DP whereas other 5 star Marksmen only cost 11 DP at max pot.
>>1391268Caster sheep are easily the worst enemy of this event. They are fairly easy to kill but my god they hit like trucks.
Grrrr....I love it when they do puzzle stages I wish we had more of them
>Had to spark this dumb goteAnyone else a lucklet?
>>1392689>got her one 10-roll before spark>but got Swire Alter max pot and no other 6* before thatI don't know if this counts as lucklet or not
>>1392723Yes.
>>1392689Took me like 130 rollsThen I said i'd roll until next pity because surely its closeI'm at 193 and I haven't hit itI feel like the world's biggest retard
>>1392689I got her in like 50-60 rolls.Still no Swire though. Meh, I can live without Swire.
So now that all the free daily rolls are over, what's the next banner that you'll be rolling on? Has the damage Eyja caused to your stash changed your plans at all?
>>1393164Viviana
>>1393164degen.also anyone that might excel in the upcoming integrated shit.
>>1393164Almond in Clank Liberty
>>1392723>>but got Swire Alter max pot and no other 6* before thatSame. I initially wasn't even planning on raising her if she happened to show up in my pulls but after hitting max pot it felt like a waste not to invest.>>1393164I'll hit pity once for Jessicalt then save for Degen
>>1393164Likely Jessicalter.
>>1393164I didn't spend any rolls on this banner, gonna dump everything on Vivianna's, then maybe Degen and CNY doragon.
Anyone got a guess to when Il Siracusano reruns? I wanna know if i fucked myself out of saving 300 to get Texas alter. Since I tried to get Eya healer and failed.
>>1393633Limited banners don't rerun bro. Texas should be spark able on the limited after Shu, in about 8 months
>>1393646Oh. Guess im saving for Degen then.
>>1393164>6k Orundums left and no HH ticketsMaybe I'm going to start saving again until next dragon.
>>1393164>Arturia>Degen>Ray>Chinky doragonman theres so much shit to roll for in 6mo
>>1393861>6moIsn't it now like 7 months now or did the schedule shift back?
>>1393933idk I was just estimating but its around that time range
Well now that Shu is out, she's looking like a must pull to me. S3 being 30s long, only 45 to recharge and being able to teleport any number of enemies back infinitely with no cool down between teleports looks insanely good.https://youtu.be/AVcza79n4X4?si=hFVEMHzKm53O8rjR
>>1395576lmao what is happening to crownslayer
>>1395647Particle accelerator.
>>1395576has anyone test this with flying/low-hovering bosses?
>>1395697I'm not seeing anything at the moment but I'm inclined to believe that it doesn't work on enemies that aren't considered grounded.
>>1395576>Oh, a new exciting skill! We can do all kinds of tactics and...>Let's turn our bullying up to 11!
honestly FUCK SL-S-4 CM and FUCK whoever designed that stage>caster sheep can easily reach ranged tiles in right half of the map>invisible nigga basically requires 1 dedicated op to destroy him>shit and piss everywhere from the start of the map>meanwhile left half of the map gets raped by sheep clouds coming at youI honestly haven't been this mad since ch12 boss but this is probably just my peanut brain getting challenged
>>1396687Lol, you should buy some clozapine before goin for S-5 then.
>>1397470>S-5that stage gave me an actual headache but it's just a stat check and it at least gives you some time to set upS-4 on the other hand is a flagpipe meta check, you just don't get enough time to prepare for tanking on the left side which is just bullshit
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE FUCKING SHEEPS
>>1396687As usual, i ended up looking for guides for S stages.While i found out units seem to take reduced damage under white cloud, shit didn't help much with all those ground tiles being locked just to spite you.
>be me>rush left side of base>don't have enough ops with useful skills for all my factories>can't pull because I'm saving for arturia arturia>recruitment doesn't give new ops>wtf bros, my two week old account hates me
>>1398378If you can honestly muster up the willpower to save 300 f2p pulls by july when arturia rolls around you deserve herI don't think it'll be too hard anyway, Typhon's a skip, Hoederer isn't that great, Clank Liberty is in May or so which is probably your only "moment of weakness to risk your stash"
>>1391463>Hits three operators when in mistFuck those guys seriously.
>>1398460>Arturia>JulyI thought she will be on May since July is reserved for Chink dragons.
>>1403556Typically it's 6 momths after CN release for it to go live on international servers
"finally, it's my chance to get Skadi from kernel banner," I thought to myself today>roll BagpipeI'm about to McFucking end it all, I can buy her for gold certs but I might need them to buy pulls for Typhon banner...
>>1398460wait, how can you save 300 pulls in 4~6 months?
>>1405391You can't.20 rolls every month - 240 rolls per year - one year and three months of saving for a full 300 spark
>>1406801That doesn't account the po you can get from stages and monthly yellow certs.There are freebies dropping every limited banner as well. Wouldn't say it's impossible but it'd be pain in the ass.
bump
where do i download the private server? i want to test some team comps.
>>1414251there is a private server??
>>1404592same but with hoshigot chen instead
>>1404592>wanted aak pot or my first bagpipe>got double angelina>20 pulls later>my first ceobeI had to use gold certs to buy bagpipe but fuck me kernel headhunting is such a ripoff the first 6 star should be one of the banner onesNow I have no funds saved for Clank except 3 tickets :(
Fuck yeah, got Typhon in my first and only 10-pull on the banner. I'd expected to spend a lot more than 6000 Orundum.I love using Rosa and Typhon just seems like a beefed up version.
>>1414973congrats on your swedish boss melter
OP here, this thread is still up? lmfao, game is fucking boring now early years AK was the GOAT, enjoy your goofy ass events, now featuring pink sheeps!also i take back what i said about HyperGryph, they did a good job balancing the new uints that came out recently>pic relhad you told 2021 me this was gonna be the game in 2024 i would have laughed and not believed you, you used to fight cool shit like patriot, now most of the new content is fucking goofy with fanservice (summer skins used to be rare af)
>>1419277>>pic relUndead pink ships surfing in a lava. Pretty hardcore shit if you think about it, bet there's metal song with similar lyrics.
>>1419406you're part of the issue you fucking retard
>>1419415I'm trans btw
Anyone else getting their shit pushed in by the new IS? Like I know it's partial a familiarity issue combined with the lack of passive buffs but DAMN.
>>1419415And you're not convincing anyone either.You failed to gatekeep the game when you think it's at its peak and now you're complaining about it in /vmg/ of all places.Just spam tickets to them or even better, do something else.
>>1419424fucker if i know you and you doing this on purpose because you know i hate trannies
>>1419890nigga stfu i never gatekept anything, i encouraged all my friends to play it and even made youtube videos about ak that got quite a lot of views, you call that gatekeeping?
>>1419800It does feel harder but yeah I don't know if it's like what you said. The floor 1/2 emergency with the sleeping caster is fucking bullshit though.
>>1420640I take that back the one with the sheep is worse
>>1420640I don't have too much of an issue with the first few floors, but there's several drone rush stages later on that feel like total run enders unless you have certain ops that can AoE air units, or just have several good AA snipers which almost never happens for me.
>>1419800Same lol, I'm not gonna complain as IS3 was way to easy, but yeah this time I'll have to actually remember the layout of all encounters quickly and use the Foldartals instead of just saving them up. Lot of fucking bullshit stages though
>>1421097>PicrelHoly shit FUCK that stage. I always use fordartals to change it into something else if I can
>>1420134very cool anon-kun, then you're part of the issue as well.
How the fuck do I stop the collapsal count from increasing? Just going to the next floor ups it by 3 and boom I'm debuffed. A dozen runs and the only time I reached the 5th floor was in Maggie's record.
>>1421469>How the fuck do I stop the collapsal count from increasing?you can't stop it but you can reduce it in random encounters and by using foldartals
Hmmm, no Jessica after 30 pulls. Not sure I want to go further.At least I got Almond who's cute.
are there any other games that are similar to arknights gameplay wise? i'm having trouble installing arknights, forever data installing and eating up storage, so i might just give up and try something else similar
>>1432109bloons TD
>>1432588the only thing both games have in common is being tower defense games, their core gameplay loops are completely different
>>1432109Path to Nowhere, don't know if it's good though.
This shit feels fucking impossible what the fuck
>>1442553it's end game players only content so if you don't have all the broken bossing units too bad!I can't get past A3 myself so sadly that skin will have to be rereleased before I can get it
Why does end game content have a skin for a 3star. A bit dumb I think. Im too new to get this.
>>1443028That's because hg expect you to watch youtube guide with low-end clear, duh.

>>1451606They used to add minievent skins to cc shop ~2 years after initial release, so yes, it will most likely come up somewhere.
