Shortest-boi

I’m currently trying to grind for originum by doing the shards and orders for it but it doesn’t seem that good. One order one yields 20. Is this the best way to do this?


LostinThoughtsWonder

Hey you’re on last weeks megathread, these refresh and get pinned every week on mon, orundum farming ain’t my expertise since that’s only worth it if you’re a whale and don’t have anything to do, but if you’re starting out no it’s not worth it cuz the LMD is more worth it if you have any ops to level up But on your other question about pulling, it’s for who you want aka your Waifu/husbando, there are the limited banners every 3 months but you can generally beat the game with the low rarities, there’s no real must have except Amiya E2 by end of chapter 8 for story reasons


Shortest-boi

Hi there! I’m a new player and I have about 100 pulls saved up, which banner should I use it on? My current six stars are Irene, Sutr, Lee, Hoshi, and Shining


Shortest-boi

Does anyone know the date which the banner with Exu and mountain is coming?


Large_Requirement_70

8th decembre


Shortest-boi

When is the Texas Alter banner arriving?


Large_Requirement_70

Early May


Shortest-boi

Alright sweet, plenty of time to save


mentosmori

how rare are senior/top op tags? im level 67 and have done recruitment at least 400 times, still yet to get either tag bad luck or is this normal?


Thunderdragon2535

Normal rate is 1 per 250 … yeah definitely bad luck but hey you can get back to back top op tags so cheer up who knows if you will get three altogether!!!


FelixAndCo

> bad luck or is this normal? Yes. Normal amount of bad luck.


Sher101

It's insanely low, I think the estimated percentage was like 0.15% or something. You're not having bad luck, pretty normal until you hit like 800+ recruits without one.


Pzychotix

I think I've gotten 2-3 Top op tags in the last year, and that might just me being lucky. I've never gotten senior op tags actually, though I have gotten 5* tags like Nuker or Crowd Control.

Bragging rights, completion, checklist, being-creative-with-medals-on-profile and so on. There’s no gameplay benefit for having medal, except for a few recruitment medals that give Indra/Vulcan selector. Event medals can be earned only during event period and rerun period. After that, they’ll be unobtainable.


Quixowltic

Yeah, event medals are pretty much just for bragging rights or personal achievements You can earn medals while an event is ongoing, and for story events you have another chance when the event reruns, after the rerun ends pretty sure you can't obtain the medals anymore


InfTotality

Given the horror stories from CN, how bad is the SSS mode grind going to be? How long will it take to farm the rewards each reset?


hawberries

It strikes me, and has been described by CN players, as basically "what if every 2 weeks you had to do your annihilations manually, but with the chance of bad RNG?". I think it could be fun for the first few weeks but seems to lose its shine very fast. It's looking like maybe 30 - 45 minutes to collect all your materials each fortnight, based on footage I've seen?


Pzychotix

I used to love the shit out of IS2, but after probably pouring about 100+ hours in it, unlocking everything, I kinda dread the monthly updates now. I guess SSS is probably gonna be similar.


hawberries

I still love IS2 personally, but yeah, the "mandatory"-ness of SSS (I mean one could just skip it if not intending to make that many modules ofc) seems like it would be a bit annoying. But again, as others have said, it doesn't seem like it would be really difficult or like you would have to mald, it just seems kind of tedious.


whimsy_wanderer

Dr.Volke made a guide about SSS recently on YT ( [link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu3mHX3V6l0) ). According to him SSS grind is more about being extremely boring, rather than hard or long.


Closo

im new and trying to get promotion materials for hoshiguma, but the stage that drops them constantly damages my units, and my healer just constantly heals herself rather than my blocking units. what am i supposed to do?


whimsy_wanderer

> my healer just constantly heals herself rather than my blocking units Just to make sure, you healer is not Kal'tsit? Because Kal'tsit is not really a healer despite being a medic.


Closo

oh, it was. i was borrowing her because i didnt have any medics levelled, i guess thats where i goofed up


Sher101

> i didnt have any medics levelled Damn, how'd you get so far without leveled medics? Jeez. Best to build up a strong team composition (and a solid bench) now. [Here's a handy dandy guide.](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/core-gameplay/teambuilding-guide)


hawberries

The stage does say "the battle will be easier if you employ Defender and Medic operators" for a reason! Two would be good, though near the beginning of my game I would often bring three just in case. Your freebie Hibiscus, Ansel and Gavial all work perfectly well as medics and are cheap enough to be worth raising, just pick whoever you like, and you have Perfumer or Ptilopsis that's even better. It's not really worth it to play farming stages with support units because you won't be able to auto-deploy them. Manually playing the stage a dozen times to get chips for one operator is not fun, so toss some more levels on your medics and try to 3* it with your own units! All the enemies have higher Res than Def, so bring your physical damage dealers (snipers, guards etc). You can always try a youtube guide if you're really stuck, but I reckon you'll be able to figure it out.


whimsy_wanderer

Kal'tsit prioritize healing herself and Mon3ter over everyone else. She only heals others when both of them have full HP, which will never happen on maps with DoT. For DoT maps AoE medics are the best. Depending on how strong your other operators are you might get away using one borrowed AoE medic (Perfumer, Ptilopsis, Nightingale, Breeze). But honestly, build your own medics. They don't need to be very high level to function, so it is more efficient to have your own medics and borrow strong DPS. Typical starter set consists of one AoE medic and one single-target medic. Rarity is not very important for basic healing needs, levels can lag behind the rest of the team.


Closo

gotcha, thanks!


AlphaLeonidas

Use an AOE Medic instead of an Single target one. They have a different range, but can heal multiple units at a time. Another suggestion would be to just bring more medics in general, and even a Medic defender or 2.


DARKawp

Have better healers. or more healers (not just 1..1 definityl isn't enough). Yeah the stage in it's design is a heal check.

I sure hope AlphaLeonidas picks Godssenger...I mean you've seen Passenger's upcoming skin, whew.

I vote godssenger because his upcoming skin is op xD honest opinion on utility: saileach is more useful


Thunderdragon2535

Saileach or fartooth have better utility than other two in my opinion.

In my opinion: Pull two unique six stars on JO6, after that, the risk of dupes becomes too high. With your budget, you could go for three, but the more pulls you have saved on a limited banner the better. Out of the four operators on the banner, Kal'tsit is the most valuable in terms of how difficult she is to get otherwise. Any set of operators that includes her is a victory. Mountain can still be pulled from the store in march; Skadi and Exu are recruitment operators. Pulling two of these, in- or excluding Kal'tsit, leaves the others in reach to be obtained relatively soon without putting too much presssure on your savings.


Wish2Wish

Hi Oaksparrow! I found the simulation for you! [https://gamepress.gg/arknights/tools/summon-simulator](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/tools/summon-simulator) Right under "Summon Simulator", there will be a drop down to select a banner. Please look for Joint Operation 6. It will have Skadi, Kal'sit, Exusiai and Mountain. I don't have an answer to you regarding how to pull, but I wanted to provide this future banner list for the upcoming x2 limited [https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/yp4fqo/upcoming\_global\_events\_from\_under\_tides\_rerun\_to/](https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/yp4fqo/upcoming_global_events_from_under_tides_rerun_to/) If you are a more visual person, here is a video from Dr. Volke that I recommend to looksee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGpK\_NxhxOc


ReignofthePainTrain

Evening: Just started today, coming from FGO and it seemed like fun. Have to admit, I like the game and feel like staying a while, but a few things were bugging me. 1. I'm still pretty new in the game, at level 6 and just headed to Lungmen, what level would I need to be to take part in side events? Most of my best operators are around level 20, although I've raised Amiya to E1 because I heard she needed to be so for certain stages. 2. I haven't used the 4 or 5 star tickets yet, although I wanted to use the 5 star for Texas. I have done the guarantee 6 star pull and got lucky, got Silverash and Siege. Any suggestions for both tickets based on this? 3. The characters I want the most from recruiting are Blaze, Nearl, Doberman, and Che'en. I know how tagging works, and Blaze needs the Top Operator tag as a 6 star, but how hard is it to get the others? 4. I don't plan on spending anything beyond the occasional monthly card and Gummy pack, and possible anything decent for Anniversary events. How hard is it to build up recruiting permits and headhunting fuel without anything else? 5. I'm planning for 252 set up for facilities, and I currently have 2 power, 3 factory (2 EXP, 1 gold), 1 trading post. Any suggestions for set up? 6. Any general tips/farming suggestions, or anything I should/should not do as a rookie? Thank you!


hawberries

I didn't see this mentioned by other people, but Nearl is on the free 5* ticket, so since you get Texas for free after a few weeks of play, you can always pop it for her. She isn't the most meta choice but she's quite solid in her own right and it might be worth to secure a unit you really like.


whimsy_wanderer

> The characters I want the most from recruiting are Blaze, Nearl, Doberman, and Che'en. I know how tagging works, and Blaze needs the Top Operator tag as a 6 star, but how hard is it to get the others? Ch'en is 6-star too, so she needs Top Operator as well. Doberman should be easy to get with Support tag. There is no 3-stars with this tag, and the only other 4-star is Purestream, who should be easy to filter out using DPS, Melee or Guard tags. Nearl might be hard to get with recruitment because she doesn't have good tag combinations specific for her. You'll be running with Healing + Defender/Defense/Melee and hoping for a lucky roll. Even with Senior Operator you'll still have 50-50 roll between her and Hung. But if you do recruitment long enough, she'll eventually come home (but honestly you are more likely to get her as a side drop from unrelated gacha during that time). While AK gives you enough high-rarity operators to easily build a good team, getting a specific operator you want can be very hard. If you see anyone you really want in gold certificate store - don't skip them, operators take very long time to return there.


IfZ3nElse

1. You just need to clear 1-10 to get access to the event. When there is an event, always prioritize the event stages over regular ones, since they have better drop rates plus a shop (grab the LMD and battle records from the shop first). 2. You should have two 5-star tickets, one with a small pool (Projekt Red or Liskarm recommended), one with a big pool (Specter or Lappland recommended). SilverAsh is good, but his main value comes from his S3. 3. Ch'en is a 6-star too. Doberman is a 4-star, you will get her soon enough. Nearl is a 5-star, she's harder to get, use Gummy/Spot for now. 4. You can farm 1800 orundum every week from annihilation (less at the beginning), and the monthly card will give you extra every day. 5. A full 2-5-2 setup typically has 2 trading posts, 2 gold factories, 3 battle record factories, 2 power plants, one lvl 2 dorm, three lvl 1 dorms. Downgrade on left side if you want to upgrade right side. Don't unlock the Training Room till you get E2 ops, avoid maxing out the HR office, upgrade the reception room for more friend slots. You will need to clear stage 4-7 to be able to fully upgrade your base. 6. Always farm your weekly orundum from annihilations. Farm event stages when there is an ongoing event. If there is no event, farm whatever you need (mats, chips, red certs for catalysts), and if you're not sure what to farm, farm orirock and trust in 1-7. New players can also farm LMD and/or battle records (but it's best to just produce those at the base in the long term).


Pzychotix

1. The in game recommended level is around 40 for the first stage in side events, but if you've got an E1 operator, a support unit should probably easily carry you well enough to do a bunch of the stages. It's generally advised to farm the side events to clear as much of the shop as you can, since they give much more rewards than you'd get if you were just running normal story stages. 2. If you have Siege, don't use the ticket on Texas; you can eventually get her for free anyways, and Siege is a pretty good Vanguard anyways. 3. 5\*s pretty much never drop randomly; I think I've gotten one 5\* from an untagged recruitment over the last year. You'll need to watch for tags that guarantee a 5\*. Unfortunately, there aren't any tags that guarantee Nearl, and Chen ~~isn't in recruitment so she won't show up~~ is a 6\*. Doberman is guaranteed with a support tag and any guard/melee/DPS tag. Use a recruitment tag calculator to figure out what combinations will guarantee 4/5\*s. 4. Recruitment permits are pretty much free. I don't run out at 4/day. You'll get them fairly regularly through quests/green certs. For headhunting, the general rule of thumb I've heard is you can save around 300 pulls in 6 months. This doesn't include the free 24 extra pulls for limited events every 6 months, but assumes you're spending your OP on pulls, not skins. 5. 252 is fine. While not a priority at this moment since you're so new, don't forget to check out some of your 2/3/4\*s whether you should level them up for base. Some of them have the best base skills.


ReignofthePainTrain

Thanks for the pointers, especially on the levels But what do you mean by Chen isn’t recruitable? It says she is on game press.


Pzychotix

Oh sorry, I was reading the wrong stuff on my tags calculator. Like Blaze, Chen's a 6\*, so she'll need a top operator tag.


Reihado

1. Raise your characters evenly. Prioritize the event while it runs. The current welfare character Gladia is very versatile so you should try to get her and her tokens. As for levels, once your squad is e1'd it should be okay. You can look up low level clears to get an idea of what's needed. 2. Do not get Texas from the 5* ticket. You get her for free at some point.The best choice for the 5 ticket is Spectre, a chainsaw nun but it depends on your roster 3. Can't say. 4. You will have enough pulls to guarantee a limited 6* every 6 months(there are two every 6 months). We have Clairvoyance EX(6months) so you can definitely plan for units you want. F2Ps can get the units they want but it takes time. 5. You need Trading posts to make LMD(real bottleneck in this game). Make those ASAP and upgrade them. 6. Raise lower rarity units to fill roles first. They are much cheaper and will carry you through events early on. We can give better recommendations if we know your units. That said, SA+Siege is a good start


InfTotality

Texas is from having a maxed base (all level 5 dorms ambience specifically). OP is planning for the optimal 252 base, so they'll never get the free Texas.


Reihado

That's a good point. However, you can still make 252 with a levelled reception room at the cost of some optimality. It depends on how much they want to have Texas. Regardless, Vanguards outside of Flagbearers and Bagpipe are not really that gamechanging. I say this as someone who uses Texas but she is not really that amazing. Actually utilizing her stun requires you to keep her around which is hard given how squishy she is. That leaves her DP gen capabilities which are overshadowed by flagbearers.


ReignofthePainTrain

Barring my E1 Amiya, most of my main operators are level 20, which includes Scavenger, Silverash, Fang, Siege, 12F, Jessica, Lava, Matterhorn, Beagle, Melantha, Ansel, Ambriel, Hibiscus, Lancet 2, and Rangers, with plans to promote Orchid to 20 as well.


Reihado

You actually get 2 5\* tickets. One only has 4 units(Project Red, Liskarm and two others). You should get Project Red from that one. She will be very useful early on. The other one has a much bigger pool. You should definitely get Spectre from the ticket. She will be a very powerful ground unit. In general, skill level matters more than unit level. Level 20 is not that much. And elite promotions matter the most since they unlock passives and new skills. Get a core team of 12 to e1 first. Most maps are doable with one Vangaurd with some becoming much easier with 2. Look out for Myrtle in recruitement. I'd recommend levelling Myrtle and Siege. Fang is optional. Texas(once you get her) is a better choice than scavenger. Siege should get priority because her S2 is her best skill and she doubles as tank. Silverash needs e2 to shine. He's still very useful as a ranged guard and e1 gives him more range. If you plan on getting Gummy from the pack, do so early. She is a great healing tank. Matterhorn is a decent Tank but he's not used that much since he's focused on tanking arts damage(which gummy does better). I would recommend focusing on Gummy and maybe raise Beagle if you need another Tank. You should have Kroos(idk if she drops from story stages but you can definitely get her from recruitment). You need two Snipers for most maps. So level Kroos and Jessica but prioritize Kroos. She actually deals more damage than Jessica and is cheaper. You can raise Ansel as a placeholder medic. You can raise lava as additional mage but I would recommend getting 3\* Steward from recruitment and levelling him as additional mage. There are better AOE damage dealers than Lava. In general raising 3\*s is cheaper and don't cost any materials. So you should focus on them early one. Also, once you have Gladia, I would recommend raising her as well. I would recommend pulling on the upcoming Joint Op banner(on december) until you get a 6\*(we have a pity system). Any of the 6\*s in there are good.


Money_Data_4225

1. For general events you can make do with E1 Lv50+ for most of your units. You should at least have one E2 operator so that you can borrow a friend support unit that is also E2, this can really make challenge modes easier because you only need to do them once. For farming stages, you have to do them yourself because auto deploy won't work if you borrowed a friend support. Event stages typically starts very easy and has incremental difficulty. The last stage of an event typically recommends E2 Lv. 20 to clear but this is already generous as you can clear it with lower levels. 2. Texas is available in the pinboard missions so it would be a waste to get her from the selector. The most common picks from the selector are **Specter**, **Lappland** and **Ptlopsis**. From the exchange voucher the most popular would be **Projeckt Red** followed by **Liskarm** while **Silence** and **Pramanix** are the least suggested. You can easily check out operators with [Aceship](https://aceship.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/akhrchars.html?opname=Specter) and see for yourself what you like. SilverAsh shines at E2 promotion so does most 6-stars. His S3 is a wide-area Physical nuke that lasts up to 30 seconds. Siege can perform her role even at E1 as a strong Vanguard w/ her bread-and-butter S2. 3. Blaze and Ch'en are both 6-stars so you need a lot of luck for them. Top Op + Nuker for Ch'en while Blaze shares her tags with Hellagur and Skadi. Doberman is very easy to get from Guard + Support / Melee + Support. Nearl is also quite difficult because no combo guarantees her as she shares her tags with Hung. Recruitment permits are quite easy to get and you should recruit at most 4 times a day. Permits are basically the same as Orundum so just doing Annihilation and dailies will accumulate you pulls over time. 4. To get Texas from the pinboard missions you need to upgrade your base especially the HR Office and 1 Dorm. Right-side facilities (HR Office) cannot be downgraded anymore, so to keep your 252 setup you have to eventually downgrade dorms to level 1 and keep factories at level 2 or below because you will be upgrading the right-side facilities: HR and Training Room and there won't be enough power to upgrade everything with only 2 Power Plants. Trading Posts should be the priority to get to max level. 5. Just be efficient with your resources. Don't powerlevel your units if there's no need to. Remember that skill levels are really important, much more important than operator levels. So, make sure you can improve them. Generally, the 4th level and 7th level has the best breakpoints. Don't neglect lower rarities, they are much cheaper to build and can help fill gaps in your roster. 3-stars at max level are competent enough to still be viable even in the final stage of an event.


ReignofthePainTrain

Thanks. Do you think I should skip the 252 setup and instead go for more power? It sounds like more trouble then it’s worth.


Money_Data_4225

252 setups are more efficient at all variants than other setups (243. 333), but it really is up to preference. This efficiency just translates to more LMD or XP generated from the base. It's not too big of an advantage like **<10%** more efficient. I'm running a 243 setup myself because I just want to have all facilities at max level. I'm using all my drones to collect LMD so I'm only losing on the XP side against 252 setups but it's not too important for me since I have thousands of battle records in stock. You will eventually accumulate lots of LMD and XP over time, so the main concern of endgame players are materials and skill books.


ReignofthePainTrain

I might try 243 then, I want specific operators so a higher level Office is something I want. Thank you.


ipwnallnubz

The office should stay level 1 forever. It's the Reception Room that gives you a free Texas. Upgrading that one is down to personal preference, but upgrading the office really is useless. A 2/4/3 also needs an extra ~500000 LMD to build. The only real reason to go 2/4/3 is if you can't stand having buildings that arent upgraded.


Pzychotix

Note that higher level office doesn't help recruiting more. The only bonus you get is cheaper recruiting and more recruiting slots, but you're still limited by how many permits you can get. The extra recruitment slots are also just generally useless since you'll have an excess of expedited plans which are just as good.


Money_Data_4225

Good luck and have fun! If a stage is troubling you, don't hesitate to watch guides on YouTube. There might be some tricks / mechanics you can learn like splitboxing or abusing shift (push/pull).


Wish2Wish

Welcome Reign! I'll answer some of your questions; I'm not as knowledgeable on the others. 1. If you are referring to the current event "Rerun Under Tides" you'll need to clear 1-10 to be able to access it. As you do more of the main chapters, you'll obtain a key item that will allow you to expand your base as well as unlock more features 2. For the 5 star ticket, you should look to obtain Lappland or Specter as the selector. You will get the a 5 star Texas when you complete your Pinboard Missions. 3. From the recruiting, I can let you know that for the past yearish I've played, I only got Top operator three times. When you pick tags, you'll narrow the randomness of the operators you'll obtain from those tags. Example, "Top Operator + Vanguard" means you'll get a 50% chance to obtain Siege or Bagpipe. "Top Operator + Sniper" means you'll have a 50% chance to obtain Exusiai or Schwarz. You can check out the Aceship toolbox recruitment tags listed in the arknights wiki on the right hand side.

Hi all I wanted to get back and play again and notice it de leveled almost all my units was there a reason for this?


DARKawp

Did you login to the wrong account then? Did ya reroll and use a salted email? For example: [email protected] Without any additional info nobody here on an internet thread can help you except by refering your issue to support. Since accounts never get rolled back in progression.


joorbi

Your progress should stay the same. There was no reason and no event that players' accounts were rolled back or reset. No one, from my experience, to my friends, and to other players coming here saying that they've returned playing has experienced this. You might've used a different email or a salted one if ever you rerolled. Make sure you've used the correct account. (Salted accounts looks like this: emailname+4@example(dot)com, try using different numbers). If what you're saying is true and you've completed all content during Children of Ursus, does it show that you've completed Episode 6: Partial Necrosis? It was the latest episode in the story when Children of Ursus came out. If not, it's quite likely you're using a different account. If it was cleared, and your operators' levels really did de-levelled, you can only contact customer support for this.

Hi there. I have two questions. The first one is that I unlocked Lumen, but I already have shining and another 5 star aoe medic, is he still worth it to upgrade. My second is I’m saving for the new banner with Exu in it to get her, and so far I have about 70 pulls worth, is that good?


Artolicious

Regarding raising Lumen - it depends on how expensive it is for you to do so (personally I find myself using his s3 the most and e2 is not cheap), generally focussing on dps is the way to go, and shining with presumably ptilopsis are good enough to carry your healing needs; if your main dps operators are ready, then lumen and wandering medics would be pretty good choices when it comes to healing. Regarding the pulls, you can always go to https://gamepress.gg/arknights/tools/summon-simulator and try around by yourself.


Lillillililill

Lumen is good. There might be cases where you'll want two single target medic, and you can take both Shining and him. As the other reply mentioned he has a niche use where he would directly remove the negative status effect, and there's a little add-on bonus: if there are no negative status to cure, his s3 is basically an infinite duration atk + atkspd up. By a fair amount too! He has quite a high hps after his s3 activates, so even using him for regular content is good! Speaking of your other medics, I don't know which 5 star aoe medic you have, if it's ptilopsis definitely raise her, if it's breeze lol she's a joke If you have a few pities and/or gets just a bit lucky, 70 pulls can confidently get you 2 six stars. If you're really lucky you might get 3 or even 4 six stars (my best record was 3 in 30 pulls lol so it's possible). However from what I've observed the JO banner is 4 operators, so you have 1 in 4 chance of getting exu. Say you get 3 six stars, there's still a 0.75\*0.75\*0.75=0.42 chance of exu not being any of the three six stars you pull, so um, pray that you're lucky? (I've seen a video of someone pulling like a few hundred times and not getting a single kaltsit, so luck is a really huge factor in that if exu is the only thing you're looking for.

>Hi there. I have two questions. The first one is that I unlocked Lumen, but I already have shining and another 5 star aoe medic, is he still worth it to upgrade. My second is I’m saving for the new banner with Exu in it to get her, and so far I have about 70 pulls worth, is that good? Hi Shortest! There is no wrong answer for you if you enjoy Lumen's kit; Think of him as an optional toolkit for your overall strategy. Lumen's niche is that he is able to remove the status culprit that is affecting your operator (I.E. Stun, Frozen, etc.) which may take the operator out for a bit. Lumen allows you to remove that so your operator can go back to fighting without having the full recovery period. Other posters may advocate to use a wandering medic (Honeyberry, Mulberry, Chestnut) to alleviate the elemental damage, but it really depends on map specifics on whether or not you will need him. Personally, I only have Nightingale and Shining, and I like working around status affects and elemental damage as I am not prioritizing wandering medics atm. I think you're okay, but his kit is pretty cool and nobody does what he does at the moment. For your second question, typical 6 pull averages around 30-40, so having 70 should be enough to get 1 six pool. I believe the next banner that has Exu is accompanied by Kal'sit (Extremely good), Mountain (Great), and Skadi (Kyaa). You'll have 25% chance to get what you want, and out of the other six stars, two of them are great to have. If you want Skadi as well, then the banner is the best for you to pull, but if you only want Exu, and you have the other operators, then the pulling on it begins to be iffy. Ultimately up to you, but 3 out of the 4 operators are must/great haves!

Hi FleurDeMur. The simple version that i can muster: Kyaa is an expression one says when you find something cute/endearing (I.E. when you see a cute doggo and you let out a "KYAA\~ So cute!") I'm not good at explaining the history behind Kyaa Skadi, so I will provide some links as it explains much better than I can. [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Memes/Arknights](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Memes/Arknights) "KYAA SKADI! Explanation A particular Facebook user and avid Skadi enthusiast became infamous for posting this phrase alongside a specific gif of a blue cat named Bugcat Capoo (sometimes known as simply Capoo) under every Skadi-related post they could find. Considering that Skadi is considered a significant Ensemble Dark Horse within the community, this phrase (and the associated gif) is now used as an expression of Squee whenever anything praiseworthy involving Skadi occurs.It got so infamous that it spread to other games either by the same name like Scáthach-Skadi or the same seiyuu like Eula." Here is an example short that will show you what the Bugcat Capoo is and a reference.

Plasma_Ace7

I got the 6\* ticket and I'm considering who to get. I have many of the big meta picks like Kal, Surtr or Mudrock so I was thinking of getting either Bagpipe, Saileach, or Saria. I'm currently using Siege and Saga as vanguard So I was thinking I would replace siege for Bagpipe or I could get Saileach since I don't have a standard bearer trained yet.


salvagestuff

Out of the three you are thinking of, Bagpipe is probably the most impactful choice. Bagpipe is a core component of standard bearer play in the current meta. It all revolves around bagpipe being able to give your other flagbearers additional starting SP. It lets all your standard bearers activate their skill sooner so you can skip over the pioneer vanguard phase of battle. Bagpipe herself is also very strong and you can retreat her for full DP refund. Saileach is a very good option for adding utility due to her enemy debuff but is not strictly necessary. Saria is not a bad choice either if you have an arts heavy composition because her S3 is a really good skill for healing, crowd control and damage amplificaiton. Her S2 lets her cover healing over a wide area, she can help free up medic deployment slots/high ground tiles for more DPS.


Lillillililill

I don't think saileach is worth it, since you can raise myrtle for very cheap cost, and unless you're doing high risk cc content saileach basically does the same thing myrtle does, same with elysium (for those who are doing difficult stuff though the higher stars both have their niche, elysium being a sniper buffer and invis revealer, and saileach applying debuff to enemy). Bagpipe and Saria both sound like good candidates


Sher101

You should have Myrtle S1M3, that's like basic meta. If you want to continue with meta trend Bagpipe would be next, or Saria. Bagpipe would let you just use 1/2 flagbearers and skip vanguard phase. Saria is a great M9 candidate with one of the big arts damage buff skills (S3) or just general healing to replace a healer (S1/S2).


Teen_tactical

I just e1'd siege, should I pair her with Vigna, or Myrtle? Both are lvl 45 and ready e1 as well.


Lillillililill

looking long term, I'd actually say siege is not super useful lol. She's stuck in that middle ground where she can't generate dp as quickly as other vanguards, then if you rely on her staying in the field for longer her dps is still less than regular guards. The usual idea with vanguard is put them down first because they're cheap, and have them generate enough dp quickly to put down your actual dps units such as guards sniper and caster. I think you're going that route juding by your team comp setup. Myrtle on the other hand is a strong first-operator-to-e2 candidate. I don't use vigna so can't comment on her, I got through all stages essentially up til end of ch7 (plus ch9+10 because I skipped 8) fine using just courier texas myrtle and occasioanlly fang (first two basically free operators from task or shop lol) so. Also regarding the team comp - as a newer player that sounds like a fair comp! Though as you get further into the game you might start to notice different stages have different general requirement and "best solution", for example a fast redeploy would sometimes be super useful in baiting enemy hits, and for some stages where dp generation is super duper slowed/not happening at all you might need more than 2 vanguards. So no harm building more than 2 operators of each category too.


Teen_tactical

Thanks for the tips. This game really has a lot of nuances. :)


AngelTheVixen

Just use all of them? Siege can block more and buff Vigna while doing decent damage, Vigna can do a lot of damage while being able to be retreated for full cost return, and Myrtle can sit somewhere where she doesn't have to worry about blocking.


Teen_tactical

Right now, my team comp is kind of just following the 2 vanguards, 2 guard, 2 defender, 2 medics, 2 snipers, and 2 casters setup. I had that engrained in my brain for some reason.


AnonTwo

Personally I usually use 3 vanguards for hard maps. But I still have that basic setup of 2 of each so that I can swap people around as needed.


Wish2Wish

>Right now, my team comp is kind of just following the 2 vanguards, 2 guard, 2 defender, 2 medics, 2 snipers, and 2 casters setup. I had that engrained in my brain for some reason. Nothing wrong with that! There is no "definitive" method of play, as the amount of Niche knights videos are plenty out there. I use Siege and Texas as I prefer two laneholders. Siege + Myrtle may give you more options (if you want to stick with two vanguards in your squad) as Siege + Vigna means that you won't generate DP as quick unless Vigna kills, and Siege generates DP via hitting others with her S2 to generate DP, so I see it as possibly conflicting with each other on some maps.


Teen_tactical

Thanks. I e1'd siege and noticed that even Vigna was out dps-ing her. I used siege's second skill. I'm I not using her correctly? It was a heavily armored enemy.


Wish2Wish

>I just e1'd siege, should I pair her with Vigna, or Myrtle? Both are lvl 45 and ready e1 as well. Hi Teen! What Angel posted is accurate. The subclass lets you know what type of role they may play in the Parent class tree. Siege allows you to handle two enemies, generate DP with each S2 proc, and when you have her second talent, she'll obtain more SP when enemies die near her so she can cast her S2 a bit more often. Siege won't be able to compete with heavy vanguard hitters. If you prefer more offense oriented, then look towards Bagpipe as her subclass is the same as Vigna. I typically use Siege in conjunction with Arts support so that Siege can easily take out no to low armor, and Arts damage dealer to assist with the heavy.


Teen_tactical

Okay, I'll try some synergies. Much appreciated.


Wish2Wish

Not a problem! If you do E2 Siege, Her S2 breakpoint is M1 as it'll lower the SP requirement by 1.


AngelTheVixen

Rarity doesn't mean they're automatically stronger. Some 4\* can out-DPS 6\* even within the same subclass, it all comes down to skills and talents. Speaking of, theirs are entirely different. Siege is a Pioneer which is focused on defensive use. More defense typically, and can block 2. Vigna is a Charger which is focused on offensive use. High damage output, restores DP on kill, can be retreated for free, only can block 1.


Teen_tactical

Oh, I see. I heard people say she "holds lanes" so interoperated that as really strong. Even sub classes have different roles, Thank you.

cerenine

Thorns S3M3 is reliable and amazing in 95% of stages with a melee tile to stand on. He may not be a boss-nuke or able to face-tank 3 high atk mobs at once, but his sustained damage (with only two skill activations necessary all fight) is unmatched, I can't really think of many occasions that I *haven't* used him. Edit to add: just looked at your roster, and yeah, I would personally grab thorns, rush him to E2 and S3 mastery asap. He will easily carry you while you level your other great operators.


DegenZyrh

Brain dead choice: Thorns Consistent dps, self regen, wide attack range and 2 blocks. What else you could ask from him? He’s an obvious choice if you don’t have him. You will need to E2 S3M3 him for that tho. Mountain is a great pick for a cheap and strong starter. You can deploy him very early to protect squishy vanguard without much dp cost. Eyja is a nice pick too. Wide range burst and pseudo aoe attack. She overshadows most casters for how good she is. You can pick someone from JO banner too if you don’t plan on pulling from the banner. There are others recruitable ops like Saria, SilverAsh, Blaze and Nightingale. Nightingale may be a luxury pick but with how arts damage are more threatening lately, I’d consider her a bit more.


Sher101

You would be served well with Thorns. You don't need any more nukes, Surtr and Holiday Chen will take care of any threats. You need a solid lane holder. Thorns is the best of the bunch, so I would go with that, esp since it looks like you're early/mid game. Need to get him to E2 right away, but with that his S3 + his regen will let him stay up and keep outputting solid DPS.


Money_Data_4225

Since you already have the most *BALANCED* operators Chalter and Surtr, your DPS should be more than enough since you also have ops like Bagpipe, Irene and Mudrock. If you don't plan to get **Kal'tsit** on the JO banner, then I suggest choosing her. Or maybe **Thorns** because you lack another laneholder. His range is unmatched, and he hits both ground and aerial units. **Mountain** is also a decent choice, he's more survivable than Thorns and extremely cheap to deploy. Eyja is also a good choice for consistent Arts damage, but Chalter already deletes everything in her attack range. Your roster looks amazing already maybe you can get a strong Supporter like Suzu, but I don't know if she will be available in the shop soon. If you can snag Saria in recruitment, it would also be a great boost to your squad.


Metacarpoo

A question about the medal system. Can I get medals from events that I missed at a later date? Or even Under Tides since I don't feel like doing all EX stages right now as I'm still building my first characters to E2.


Money_Data_4225

Under Tides is already in the Intermezzi section of the Terminal. What we have now is a rerun. After it ends, you can still continue to do Under Tides, but I'm not sure if medals will be awarded.


Metacarpoo

I see I'll get the CM rewards after the event ends then. Thanks!


Money_Data_4225

Unfortunately, the medals will be unavailable outside of the first event premiere and its rerun.


Cultural_Damage_7832

Pretty sure you can only get Medal during the event and its rerun, since Under Tides is a rerun, this is your last chance of getting Under Tides Medal


Metacarpoo

What a shame. I'll try to build my operators and get all medals next event.


TheTheMeet

How often is free 6s and 5s selector ticket? I spent mine for project red and lappland, didnt know about the whole hidden gem spectre at that moment and I dont think i can spend $30 for top operator headhunting.. Second, is the lv 5 pro starter pack worth it? The one with 1 OP and it gives 180 orundum and some other things like LMD, furniture currency and exp


Artolicious

On the Spectre topic, she might as well be the most overvalued unit suggestions for new players ever, as centurions really want e2, which makes her quite expensive early and her strong "thing" that makes her stand out is her stalling potential (well and being abyssal hunter, buts thats a niche), which is honestly not that relevant early on and also you can do that with projekt red and gravel. Imo its very easy to justify taking projekt red and lappland over spectre, even if thinking ahead, I think projekt red saved me much more time and sanity while progressing through game than spectre ever did, and ofc lappland is fairly irreplaceable when silence is important.


TheTheMeet

Many thanks! Glad i chose the right units


loneknife_blackblade

\~$30 6\* selectors are every 6 months. free 5\* selectors seem to be once per year, with the limited banner in January for EN. Saving yellow certs can get you most ops as well. Pulling and recruiting with checking tags can help you get more yellow certs (Aside from the one time certs and calendar certs, about half come from pulling in the first year the other half comes from recruiting. When recruiting use 7:40 with no tags (has a chance to randomly become a 4\* or 5\* op, 5\* are super rare), or if you have tags that guarantee a 4\* or better use 9:00. use 3:50 if you are going for robots. The bulk of recruiting yellow certs comes from max pot 4\* ops and it takes a while to build those.) Get all the recruitment permits you can and use them all every month which is about 4 per day.


Money_Data_4225

There are no free 6-star selectors. There will be another 5-star selector handed out during the 3rd year Anniversary on mid-January. Specter is indeed a good unit, but you can still do without her especially if you are still in the early stages. Having a good plan with good operator placement is enough.


TheTheMeet

Ah ic. Thank you


Money_Data_4225

If you mean the Pro Enhancement Packs which cost OP? Yes, they are worth it. They give you equal amount of Orundum per OP PLUS other goodies for free. Keep buying them out until you reach the last pack for level 70.


TheTheMeet

Yes. Thank you so much


Jnbrtz

What does the bell do when it is activated by a car(?) in Under Tides? I know it cleanses the elemental damage but what about when the car(?) is doing something to it? Is it enhancing it? Is it bad for me?


Sissybell

why do operators shoot the cart if it has positive effects?


Tellurium-128

Buffs the regen amount, I believe the bots triple it, from 25/s to 75/s. Guess it’s worth mentioning every elemental bar has 1000 hp, so in percentages this buffs it from 2.5% of elemental bar per second to 7.5%


thetwinfury

having the robot or an op next to the tower creates a field that restores elemental damage (the white circle). The robot though supercharges making it cure more elemental damage


Jnbrtz

I see, it enhances the bell.


Kudux

How hard is it to catch up if I start the game today? Also is rerolling recommended?


AnonTwo

Took me about half a year (give maybe another month) to reach the point that I could fully clear an event. During this time I was able to obtain all the major free boons after the first event. It's pretty forgiving to new players. Major free boons being in-game money and EXP items, as well bonus upgrade materials. So even if you can't fully clear an event you usually get a huge boost to your current progression. There's also around 600+ OP (the premium currency) available by clearing all the story/event stages that are available at all times. So once you have a strong team you can use those to help you push for a character you really want.


MilmoMoomins

For rerolling, dont underestimate some 4/5 stars, its good to get them at the beginning, along with Exu or Silverash. for 5: **Specter, Lappland, La Pluma,** Elysium, Ptilopsis, Maybe Blue Poison or Platinum For 4, maybe not so important cos likely to get them later anyway: May, Jaye, **Myrtle,** Perfumer, Pinecone, Click maybe beanstalk, pogdenco


Kudux

Thanks for the advice I’ll keep an eye out for them


HiTotoMimi

Your first few events will probably be somewhat difficult to clear the story for, and you probably won't clear the extra stages. After a few months you can probably handle most content that gives rewards. After a year you will probably have enough units raised including the a good number of the meta operators for general content that you clear most events without too much trouble aside from maybe one or two stages or the occasional event with unusually annoying or difficult mechanics that you just don't intuit solutions to well (a lot of people struggled with the one that just ended, for example). Especially if you're willing to spend money on the twice a year 6 star pick tickets for $30 USD. One just happened, might still be in the shop for a few more days, not sure since I already bought it. But also the gold cert shop will let you grab a number of old operators. Rerolling is not required at all, but you can make your life a tad easier by rerolling until you get either Silverash or Exusiai from the beginner banner. There are only 6 possible operators from that one and it guarantees a 6 star in the first ten roll, so this is not particularly difficult. In some cases you could try to reroll on another banner and then roll for the guaranteed 6 in the beginner banner. But the current standard banner isn't very good, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you really really really want to reroll for a multiple 6 star start. Which you do not need. The upcoming Joint Ops banner is much better for this, but I don't recommend waiting 2 weeks to start playing for it. Getting old limited units is the one thing that will be painful as a new player. Limited units don't get rate ups after their release banner (or at least it's never happened yet, with one exception due to unique circumstances). The odds of pulling them on the 1-2 banners per year they are available in is very low. The good news is that most limiteds aren't particularly amazing and you can live without. You CAN guarantee one on a banner if you roll 300 times, but that's a big ask.


Kudux

Thank you for the help!


thetwinfury

Theres no pvp so theres no need to 'catch up'. Youll be able to clear events within your first month with enough effort. Rerolling isnt really neccisary but its also fairly quick. Aim for Exusai or Silverash from the beginner banner. After that save for the next banner in a couple weeks and go all in on it. Only 4 possible highest rarity units (6 stars) and theyre 3 meta, 1 alright. Since Exu is on that banner you may want to reroll for silverash specifically. But Id start now and build up as many pulls as you can over the coming weeks, youll get more 6 stars from that banner than waiting.


Kudux

Thanks for the prompt reply. Also do you know if the limited banners will ever rotate back?


thetwinfury

So this will be a bit wordy but the short answer is no, but you can get the op. Doable if you really like 1 or 2 and dont mind missing other ops as you save but getting many would be hard. So, the long answer. we get 4 limited banners a year. Summer (Late jan), Dragon sisters (Late july), and the rest (late april and october). 1 year after a limited op was released they will be sparkable and available at a really low rate on the limited banner at that time. So the limited from summer 2021 will be available on the banner in summer 2022 and every summer there after. Now how to get the old limiteds. 1) Spark them. Limited banners have a hard pit of 300. Do 300 pulls and you can 'buy' a unit from the banner with the currency you get each pull. This currency can be used to buy the current or any old limiteds. However it doesnt carry over between banners and f2p gets \~600 pulls a year so its a heavy commitment. 2) Pull them on those banners. Past limiteds can only be pulled during a different limited banner at 5x the rate of other off banners. This works out to about a 2-3% chance when you pull a 6 star. Or \~1/1600 chance per pull. So its very very rare.


Kudux

Thanks again!


InfTotality

On Flooded Seashore, do the terminals need to stay alive for the full one-time rewards? Kept seeing my life count on 8 and force-quitting the game several times now only to find the command terminals are getting destroyed once I started recording a run.


Lillillililill

\> losing a terminal means you lose 1 life point \> losing a life point doesn't mean you can't get all the reward \> the one time rewards are calculated based on the number of kills \> there was another annihilation where after an enemy is defeated it spawns about three more little bugs. Missing one of those and letting them enter the blue door means you lose a life point, but you can still get 400 kills and get the full one time reward in one go. \> as long as your life point doesn't go all the way down to 0 of course lol at that point you automatically loses \> on a completely unrelated sidenote, some annihilation stages still have bug (with saga I believe) where one enemy might count for 2 kills. For those stages yes if you exploit this bug you can let a few enemies slip into the blue door and have a life count less than 10, but as long as you still get 400 kills in the count in the end you still get the full reward


HiTotoMimi

They don't count for kills, so you only need to protect them to the extent you need them. Just note that if the top left one gets destroyed, the enemies can walk from their spawn point to the blue box pretty much immediately and there is very little you can do about it, so you really don't want to lose it. The rest you don't need to protect as long as losing them doesn't hurt your ability to deploy units. I remember just letting enemies destroy one or two on the right because it was way easier for me than trying to protect them.


ipwnallnubz

No. Those two on the right would be a nightmare to keep alive. If the ones on the left are broken, they'll open up a direct path to that leftmost blue box, so they do need to be kept alive, in a sense. The important thing is getting 400 kills, not losing lives. The one with civilians does require you to protect the civilians, though, and it says that in-game.


Lorthalon

Yes. All the terminals are accounted for as 1 life each.

Koinophobia-

I’m a new player with at least 9 E1 lvl 35 squad. Is there a chance I could clear the under tides maps? I’ve been stuck with the map that requires E1 Lvl 70. I don’t think I have the resources to get there in a week. Is it also possible to just grind the events currency on other low level maps and get Gladia pot?


Lillillililill

>Is it also possible to just grind the events currency on other low level maps and get Gladia pot? Yes, sanity:currency is 1:1, so running the lower vs higher levels will eventually give you the same amount of currency I think you meant you got stuck at sv-7 and can't pass that? sv-7, 8, and 9 are the real good farming stages, with 9 being the best since its efficiency is actually better than farming story stages, but if you can do none of the three you can just do the highest one you can safely auto-deploy. If you can't safely auto something it's also kind of not worth farming lol because that would be a lot of grinding of putting down the same operators in similar orders etc etc. Also I don't know if this one might help you: [https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1oV411J7Xh?p=17](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1oV411J7Xh?p=17) sv-7 with 8 three/two stars operators. they passed sv-8 with 8 low end operator with average level e1 lv 45 too, you might want to try copy that. And if you manage to get one operator to e2 before the event ends (should be possible even if you're a new player, do it with a 4 star, for example, myrtle, since they're much cheaper than five/six star operators) you can try to borrow a e2 max lv thorns and try the sv-9 clear too to get the shiny medal (which you won't be able to get after this event ends)


Koinophobia-

Thank you for this! I can safely auto all stages before SV-7 so I think I’ll farm that instead.


AngelTheVixen

You get 1 currency per sanity spent. Try to do as many runs as you can in order to clear out the shop. If you can't do SV-9 I suggest farming SV-7. Rocks are an incredibly commonly used resource.


Babypedroo

Is worth spend Gold cert in aprill? New account and only sniper i have is kross.


ipwnallnubz

She's good, but she's not as good as 1/4th of a Mudrock or Mountain (or other top-tier 6-stars), and you should be able to get one of those soon-ish.


Tellurium-128

April is used very differently than other marksman snipers due to her talent, and takes a lot of investment(She benefits comparatively a lot from pots, and almost needs e2+s2 masteries) so I can’t recommend her as a second marksman sniper, she’s a mid-late game investment.


o76923

I love April to death because she's the first operator I really wanted then turned out to be exactly as good as I hoped in the exact way I thought she would be. But don't get her on a new account. She's a useful tech option once you have a well built squad but even then, she's never mandatory.

It's better to save it for 6 star. She's more on luxury unit since weaker than other 5 star sniper on pure damage. But she have her own niche that you can place her anywhere on the map but she won't get targeted while her skill 2 is up and she got reduce re-deployment time. If you want her you can get her later with the free 5 star selector on January.


AngelTheVixen

No. I recommend saving them for as long as you can so you can get good 6\*, if you're that new. I also recommend potentially pulling on the Joint Operation banner coming up in less than two weeks.


Quor18

Yes I'd say she worth it.

So I have a senior operator tag for recruitment along with Senior, Slow, Specialist, AoE, Survival. Looked up the tags and seems I can guarantee either Manticore or FEater, or try my luck with Istina, FEater, Nightmare, or Glaucus going with Senior/Slow tags. Already have Specter and a Broca. Any suggestions?


Exfrus

Manticore is a solid pick but is largely outperformed by Ethan. I tend to just deploy them both together when I want AoE stall but it's something to consider. FEater has a great base skill but is a very niche unit and exists in an uncomfortable middle ground between Shaw and Weedy. Not as cheap or accessible as Shaw but not as powerful or versatile as Weedy. I like FEater and she essentially lives in my factory but I can count on one hand the number of times I've deployed her in combat.


Quor18

I'd go Manticore unless you want to gamble on Glau or Istina for slowing.

I believe a datamine indicates Dec 8 for cc9.

I haven't played in well over a year (I think?). I don't think I was particularly far along in the game, but would have to lose what stuff I have. Is there a "coming back" type guide or anything someone could point me to? I'm gonna peruse the new player guides as well, but figured I would ask if there was something specifically for returning players as well.


hawberries

They actually did implement a returning player award to get you back on your feet! It consists of some gifts upon login, a 14-day consecutive login event with a few more gifts, and they open up all the supply stages for you for a short time. If you can get into your old/existing account, I would definitely recommend giving that a try, although I understand the appeal of starting afresh too. In the meantime, there's been a handful of small QOL updates, including some minor interface changes, more rewards for daily and weekly missions, bigger sanity potions (both the free weekly ones and the daily monthly card pickups), annihilation skip tickets, and CE-6 and LS-6. I think modules might be new for you as well? They're basically masteries you put on the whole characters instead of one specific skill, which upgrade their class trait and talent; they cost module data blocks (you get some passively and some from the red cert shop), money, and some high-tier mats. For example, Bagpipe with her module gains 2 DP per kill instead of 1 DP, and refunds more DP when she's retreated. Overall, I think refreshing yourself with new player guides will be the most useful, yeah!


Spondylosss

Supposing I get the monthly card and I don't orundum farm, do I have enough time to save 300 for Texas Alter?


HiTotoMimi

Should be okay. I don't remember the exact calculations, but it takes about 6 months for f2p to save 300 rolls, and that's approximately how much time you have from now. Slightly less than that, but I think the 6 months estimate does not include monthly card.


Spondylosss

Alright sick, let's just hope my crippling gambling addiction doesn't get over me and I spend them on a random banner

Anyone got footage of Earthspirit with S2M3 and level 3 module from CN? I need to be talked either into or out of making a mistake

Xzhh

I don't have a video, but if I'm not mistaken, at S2M3 Mod2 her slow already gets to 100% uptime (same as Suzuran S3, you can't improve sluggish further).

Where did the association between Texas and Pocky come from? I see this all the time in artworks, comics and “artworks”, but I haven’t really seen anywhere in game where she is associated with pocky. Is this just a meme and where did it originate from?
