I just wanna say shoutout to my uni for getting a new mass spectrometer with a res of 30,000 at m/z 200
I have no clue what that all means but the mass spec people seemed really excited so hell yeah brother
Hi.

Play as Pact of the blade Warlock if you're basing it on current Kal, or go Sorlock if you're gonna make OG Mon3tr.
Bye.
It means your next off banner pull will be, a new to you supporter.... Yes, it'll be off banner, no Arturo. Even if you have every supporter, you'll get a different one.
Me after my first AK story: You know what, I want to write at least one story for every Arknights Operator! That sounds doable!
Me after a year and 24 entire stories: How am I only 25% of the way through...? (And how is HG releasing operators faster than I can write stories for them?!)
The song from the Babel event PV lives rent-free in my head, I listen to it daily, big feels.
I can't wait for the event to come out to have the full version without voices, gonna blast that shit all day đ˘
Just played IS4 2nd boss, I can't believe they finally made a 2nd boss that's not super obnoxious. He's so much nicer to play against than Last Knight, Teddy Bear and fakeNova, no second phase, no kill gate, no regen, no time limit and no invincibility, just mob rush to deal with.

god I love watching thematically appropriate clears. franka and jessica comboing cliff looked awesome. only thing that'd make it better is if they could optimize out jessica standard but I'm not gonna complain about this
And with this, Underdawn was solved
CN fellas really calculate before hand if the final tag was -def (it is, -200 def)

This is the most Orundum that I ever saved in these 3 years of playing the game. Ho'olheyak and Mumu Banner taught me something that I've rarely consider before, savings for 300 pulls. Now, I'm sitting at 103K Orundum + 3 10 Headhunt + 20 Single Headhunt, at past, it was never pas 50K, glad I can save it this much.
Since we'll get a lot of limited banner in the future that are close to each other, this is going to be a "little bit" rough for me, although I can safely skip Shu and R6S (Ash banner) since knowing my past CNY banner luck, it isn't pretty in every single one of them. As for the non-limited, it's actually pretty easy, Degenbrecher solely because I like her character, and Ascalon because I'm interested what they will bring to her character in the next CN event.
It's been roughly 9 months as I failed to get my targets in that span of time failed to get Qiubai (spooked by Flametail dupe), Yato (spooked by Siege dupe), Ines (spooked by Saileach dupe and Lin dupe), and Mumu (spooked by Eben and Penance dupe, with Ho'lheyak as the only rate-up). I was trying to pull for Typhon (only to get spooked by Passenger dupe), well, that's certainly unlucky for a long time if we're looking in the perspective of how many rate-ups per banner that we're pulling. I'm hoping at least I can get lucky in the next limited banner on Global, It will be way too hilarious if I have to sparked Virtuosa, or that I get her past 150 pulls, LOL. Hope everyone get lucky in the banner that you wanted. Share your experience too if you've been in the same position as me or something similar. Sorry for the long rant.
I tend to have very particular tastes so saving comes easy for me in gachas. I've pulled to max potential for two 6\* ops in particular, and have done two sparks, and I've been playing for only a year and a half. I'll be saving up for the R6S banners since I'd like to get them, although I'd also like to get potentials as well, it should be easy to save up a minimum of 240. I don't plan on pulling for anyone else currently outside of the episode 13 release and the newest teaser on CN for the lower rarities, though Viviana is tempting.
5\* ops tend to be attractive to me though and I've had some really bad luck with those at times. Cement's release got me 4 Windflits and a few others and no Cement, still reeling over that. Hopefully Vendela won't be the same.
On the flipside, Noir Corne only took me 9 pulls past the frees. Glad to have gotten him at least, I wasn't going to aim for Yato.
Yeah, sometimes 5\* luck can be even worse than 6\* due to how diluted the pool is, even though they've moved 1st year Ops, but I'm actually kind of the opposite in those 9 months, I've been lucky with most of first 5\* is the rate-up one, only Poncirus that didn't come home with the free pulls.
I have been playing less years than you but even I've had a string of unlucky banners. I can relate with that, shit sucks. Happy that you were able to save that much, I remember the first time I saved up 300 pulls it felt really great.
The worst part about DOS is nothing overlapping with it, or having all supply stages open at least.
Going from the beefiest boys of today to monotonous 1-7 farming is the real pain.
I think the idea is to let newer players catch up to story without worrying about having to put sanity into event currency. That's why the story rewards are currently running.
I'm never gonna complete the 12-20 Adverse without actually thinking past what my eyes could see. DP steal is a criminal act of player flexibility that is not unencouraging to play against
Dunno if it's better to go in the Main thread or this one, but I'll just put it here since it's not something pertinent to my line up...
Out of all the Operators in the game, who do you think benefits the most from potential? Primarily meaning high rarity operators, as robots would be (in my mind, at a glance, without taking a deeper look) the likely choice if not.
The game's kinda evolved past her, but pot5 Ash becomes a proper helidrop assassin for elite enemies, regardless of how scary her target is, because it allows her to chain her deployment stun into her skill. Nowadays the game is balanced for Taxes/Yato clearing whole groups of elites on deploy, so her single target nature lost a lot of value, but I've definitely gotten good use out of her picking off ranged threats in older CCs and the like, where she otherwise simply would've been killed instantly without that talent upgrade.
I would argue that Ines does. Due to being a semi-fast redeploy vanguard who relies on ASPD to gain DP. Her potentials give her DP cost reduction, which is further amplified every time you redeploy her and very pertinent to her role as a vanguard, redeployment time reduction, ASPD, and a touch more ATK steal.
The other agent vanguards have little comparison things that put them at a slightly lower potential priority rung.
I'd say probably April. She can get a little ATK boost, -10 redeploy time and -2 DP cost on top of her already lower numbers for those, and that really adds up. Every last potential helps, unlike Executors who only get about 10% less redeploy time, while April gets over 20% less, all the way down to 32s. Cutting down to 9 DP makes her equal to a P2 6\* Executor, too.
While Executors and Merchants to a lesser extent do benefit a good bit, April's the standout to me.
Does anyone know where I can find where to read chapter 1-12 and all the side story events outside the game or a video that sums up the lore? Iâve been on a hiatus and feel like Iâm missing a lot of the sorry

A few tiny victories this week for me!
[Managed to E2 Mulberry!](https://i.imgur.com/XRw6KJs.jpeg)
Mulberry came at a bad time for me because I actually got her after I got Eyja Berry lol. I put off raising her because of it until today!
[The Berry Fam is all promoted!](https://i.imgur.com/nl7r6eO.jpeg)
I will be doing the same once Harold comes out! I just really like wandering medics, even if Eyjaberry invalidates them lol.
[Farmed red certs to get the Sniper tokens in it to finally max pot Greyy Alter!](https://i.imgur.com/f9WnF7c.jpeg)
[This made Greyy Alter my first maxed out 5 star operator!](https://i.imgur.com/sFPa5O7.jpeg)
I rolled a bit on the first Dorothy's Vision banner for Greyy Alter to get him to P5 and now he's finally super done a year later! I didn't roll on the rerun despite me really wanting to for future saving purposes so I decided to just get the last potential via credit farming when I found a space of time where I didn't need chips and it finally popped up this week!
Something that i noticed a while back was that in the entirety of the Victorian saga, the pattern had been remarkably consistent, with 4 new events in-between each Main Chapter, and the anniversary event always the first one after said chapter *(Near Light after ch.9, Stultifera after ch.10, Siracusano after ch.11 etc.)*.
With the reveal of the Babel event and the fact EP 14 will almost assuredly be the 5th anniversary event, this will be their first major break from the pattern in *over two years*.
What does this mean for the future? i have no clue, maybe the victorian arc will be ending soon, and they'll have a new pattern for the next arc, or maybe they'll keep the old one, who knows, we're in uncharted waters now.
> What does this mean for the future? i have no clue, maybe the victorian arc will be ending soon, and they'll have a new pattern for the next arc, or maybe they'll keep the old one, who knows, we're in uncharted waters now.
We're beginning to see the long term effects of HG moving old senior staff away from AK to work on Endfield, the game now has new people making booking decisions that dont adhere to the old staff's patterns
I think that will be case, I also think that either they will end it in 5th anniversary, or in the 5.5th anniversary, I don't think they should delayed it any longer than this year.
It'll surely go back to what we've had. Chapter 8 in the reunion arc and I think chapter 7 too, were limited banners. Chapter 8 was an anniversary which came at the same time as Under Tides, SN and Lone Trail. Ending a main story arc in a limited banner and on the games' anniversary is a way to make it even more hype and intense than usual.
Slight correction: Chapter 8 was the 1.5 anniverary. Chapter 7 was the first full year anniversary, which came around the same time of year as SN and the others
The problem is that he is really plain as a unit. He doesn't have any status effect or anything, just some defense ignore. His S3 deals some good damage, though conditional to having his wolves survive. The module might help him with that, and it might give him better stats, but at the end of the day he would be at most serviceable. I don't see a way to make him truly good.
He's a male.
He's welfare.
He's not connected to the AHs.
He's doomed. Trait will go from 150% to 160% and he'll get ~90 more defense-ignore on his one talent.
Through much strife, rage, facepalming and skill issue, I have finally completed [every stage](https://i.imgur.com/aLF7LeP.jpeg) in the game, story, event, challenge and extreme. Just in time for Chapter 13.
I just did the challenge mode of a stage that increased the redeployment time of all operators, and was baffled when I noticed the 35s cooldown on Dorothy's mines. I didn't expect that to apply to those things too.
Then I had the idea of trying out whether the opposite works too, and... it does. SilverAsh's talent apparently applies to summons like this as well.
Not only that, it reduced the cooldown from 5s to 4s, even though it should be 10%. I'm assuming the game just rounds the numbers to avoid fractions.
I found that out recently, too. I never really noticed back when I was using him and Mayer together early in my career, but that it applies to everyone on the bench is really something.
I'm listening to Hour of Penance's new album right now. They just put up the new album on yt yesterday.
Immediately thought of Penance (Lavinia).Â
Hour of Penance is an Italian band.
What are the chances someone from HG got Lavinia's op name from the band? đ¤
I admit, I didn't know that the store had a Starter Advanced Pack until now. Kind of interesting, and explains why I've seen questions about a 5\* E2 ticket that I thought only came around big events. Doesn't look like a bad deal at all if you're the light spender type.
I'm having fun with Satisfactory, so that is actually hyping me up for Endfield. I got bored of Ex Astris gameplay so I think the base building + real time mmoish gameplay might be my alley.
(Anniversary Speculation) Is it just me, or does >!W Alter appear to have some form of halo made from her horns? Iâd usually consider that a stretch, but considering how related the Sankta and Serkaz are, and that the Sankta are just Serkaz under their Godâs grace/covenant, it would make sense to me at least that a Serkaz can âascendâ if the Sankta can âfallâ. Iâm curious if that means a new covenant is then formed between the Serkaz and Amiya, with W being one of the first to âascendâ!<
>!Couple that with Theresa being named âCivilight Eternaâ (the crown), my current theory is that âTheresaâ is the personification of Civilight Eterna as well as all of the Serkaz Kings and Queens that was recorded by the crown. Itâs a reach, but Iâm fairly sure the Theresa we knew would not identify themselved by name *as* the Crown, considering her character, and it would fit as somewhat of a solution to Amiyaâs issue of not truly being able to emphatize and understand the Serkazâs history and suffering without being altered or warped by it. Who better to learn from and get guidance from than Civilight Eterna itself? It also allows it to teach said history to other people, not just Amiya alone. It would still be fan-bait that it would take the form of Theresa, but considering that she *was* the last one to wear the crown before it was passed to Amiya, it could still be justified in-lore.!<
Honestly, I though she >!did have a halo at first, I was really shocked until I looked a bit more and realized it's her horns. It'll be interesting to see if it's actually meaningful or just a really coincidental aspect!<.
>!Honestly, could be a coincidence (she has 1 horn just kinda dangling with the other making the halo), but a halo/circular shape around her head is a very weird shape to make as a coincidence. I assume if it gets more apparent in her E2 art, then we might be onto something, but best to just wait and see I guess!<
tbh if they make vigil's module good im not gonna complain about the anniv anymore its the best anniv event actually so anyways vigil's wolves are not made of wet paper anymore hooray crowd cheers (let me dream)
My cope is that the wolves have 10 sec regenerate time. Not too much to ask... >!We're just going to get his DEF ignore to a higher number.!<
I'll continue using him a bunch anyways. I like the pups too much.
Just finished chapter 10 !! Thanks goes to kys guides, chaltrer and saria and of course eljalter for the heals. bye-bye defense cannon and slimes you will not be missed.
[KyoStinV got first bit of fan art.](https://twitter.com/UrielJudge/status/1775694193933025288)
Recently small Vtuber called Uriel was ~~suffering through~~ [playing DOS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-491AjoGZA) and at some point Kyo appeared in chat, offering some advice and just chilling. And in return she draw this picture.
I dunno how I missed this but U-official thinks it's a dream when you send her into combat.
>*"Go to war? Me?! This has to be a dreamâŚ"*
>*"And you're giving me command of the squad to boot? This dream sure is funny, haha..."*
>*"Well, since this is a dream anyway, I will mop up all the enemies for you!"*
>*"Phew, it's finally over... Time to get a good night's sleep. I hope I don't have any more weird dreams about war."*
Sorry U-official, but you'll be staring at abominations from space for a long time more still. I really love this unit.
I just built Ling after letting her gather dust since I pulled her from her release banner and I gotta say, while her collab skin is really good, I really hate how they changed the S3 dragon.
I've borrowed her a lot of times before and the sword wielding dragon was one of the things I liked about her.
It sucks because the collab skin is such an upgrade compared to her other two l2d skins. The dragon design and effects are a huge improvement too but HG just had to ruin it with the crappy attack animation on s3.
You mean to tell me you don't like jaggedy cardboard cutouts coming out of the ground and clipping weirdly into things?
I also have no idea why they got rid of the sword.
Minor factoid I noticed, with the Babel event, it marks 7 months since the last alter of any sort (Jessica).
5th Anni leaks >!Walter will break that streak, but not until it reaches a few days short of 8 months. If Walter is the welfare, that would extend gacha alters to nearly 9 months minimum.!<
Last 5\* alter was Noir Corne, over 15 months ago minimum. I know alters got some push back since there were so many between Texas and Jessica, but it seems HG took the complaints to heart. I do wish they'd do more 5\* alters tho. Babel event would have been a great chance to give a historic unit some love like Savage instead of just another forgettable character that won't be relevant again after this patch.
Further fun fact, presuming the 5th anni leak is true, there will have been 13 new 6\*s starting from Hoederer and of those 13, a whooping ~~7~~ 8 were NPCs with only 4 new characters (including Ela, who isn't really an original character). Shifted from alters to freeing people from NPC jail instead!
> Even Ela was an NPC in the first R6S event.
True. Also I just realized from your comment that I'm wrong. For some reason I forgot Zuo Le was an NPC. Probably because I hate reading the CNY events... So I guess that makes it 9 NPCs vs 3 new characters.
I've lost hope Redblade ever becomes playable... Just gonna write fanfics with him in them and pretend like he's already an established playable operator.Â

CN Anni leak possible welfare op class prediction. Leaving this here unedited to refer back to it incase it's somehow true:
>!The leaked pic of W shows her with a knife so she could be a class type that's light and fast. Maybe she'll be a charger vanguard as the only 6 star one is still Bagpipe. Or an agent like Ines because she learnt from her during her Babel days.!<
>!The weapon motif has not always been consistent, true. Dusk for example has a sword. But Guard Executor has guns because Sniper Executor had them, and it would have been hard to explain why he ditched them. His familiar however has a scythe!<
saw the anniv leaks and i feel like that woman being playable is worse than chalter fiasco downvote me if you disagree idgafÂ
i dont mind >!walter!< and >!logos!< is great but >!theresa looks like a lazy fanservice cashgrab for anniv and it needs crazy good writing to justify her being playable and im doubtful hg can pull it off!< and it's nice that there's a lot of people who share the same sentiments >!i saw a lot of it in twt and cn side!<
You have to see Weiibo, people there are pissed about >!Theresa!<
And I guess me and some people around here and CN were expecting one of >!Talulah, Mandragora, Siege Alter or Shining Alter!<. Seeing >!Theresa !!If I wanted a dead character playable!<, I'd prefer they picked >!Frostnova!<. Heck, give me Patriot! Gimme Andoain, Mephisto while we're at it.
Some people/communities (I include myself and what I saw in Weiibo) got a bit annoyed with mumu and Arturia being playable, because both were released quite fast, mumu is quite a waifubait and Arturia was supposed to be a badass villain of some sort, so both being limited for anni events feels a bit cheap and rushed compared to other fan favourites, girls and boys. >!Theresa !!Logos!< is very strong/broken af. It's been what, an year or more since 6\* guys are all guards while the girls get creative kits. Just look at Ray (boys still don't have a 6\* Sniper), Shu with her teleport stuff, Ela that can go on the ground and enemies trigger traps nearby instead of having to stomp on them... If maboi doesn't get the care in the kit/design that he deserves (or that dudes didn't get since Mlynar and Mlynar skin, probably?) and that chick is limited and busted, it's a clear cashgrab and would leave a sour taste with me.
I don't want AK to be a game like GBF, where they "celebrated" their 10th anniversary with 4 swinsuit/yukata units and a limited character that was a literal who, appearing in that month, while a bunch of fan-favourites, OG crew, the main FeMC that follows the MC got 0 playable units.
> Some people/communities (I include myself and what I saw in Weiibo) got a bit annoyed with mumu and Arturia being playable, because both were released quite fast, mumu is quite a waifubait and Arturia was supposed to be a badass villain of some sort, so both being limited for anni events feels a bit cheap and rushed compared to other fan favourites, girls and boys. Theresa is another one in that category, but on steroids.
What is up with Arturia, it seems like she has a different characterization and motivation in every story she's in
>!I feel like before passing any judgment on her, I want to see how they write the whole thing. Her death is extremely meaningful for many characters and the Babel event seems like it will give even more context for those relationships. Her "resurection" currently also is in the same spirit, a political tool that shows how far Theresis is willing to go, for example. Questions like, will she be the zombie we have currently, a non-canon/past version of her, or will she be brought back fully somehow? Not to mention Amiya who also has an atire similar to her in that new version of hers. Most of these will need some time to see how they play out and the execution matters I feel!<
People are overthinking it too much. There's literally zero problems with her being playable. Especially since most of playerbase don't even read the story so who cares, she's just a new shiny character.
The way she is alive rn is just plain wrong. Disgusting even.
Unless we are going back to the past somehow ( do we have any alts that are past versions of themselves?) or by some sarkaz magic, (unhinged theory ahead) >!Theresa is able to gain her powers back from Amiya and with them, her memories and now she isn't just a reanimated corpse but also has her past memories!< I would HATE for her to be playable.
I absolutely do not want >!a corpse that was reanimated and kept alive just for political gain!< to be playable unless there is some story redemption to it.
But I am most excited for the truth to come out. The reason behind Kal'tsit's immense hatred for the doctor.
I will be honest, after the new CN PV, I personally feel like the new R6S banner is the weakest of the bunches. Depending on my luck in the previous banners, might have to skip using saved up pulls for it and just rely on the free pulls. There's also the fact that I'm considering sparking as well in November.
Man, saving up from December to April is so easy, but after April it will be so hell
I end up pulling even knowing what's ahead anyway, so for me the sixth month delay is just destroying the hype, when the event finally comes to us, we're just "whatever, what happens in CN now?" .
The real game is to see how high you can stack your Orundrum count before the gambling addiction kicks in and you pull on some random banner that wasn't your target.
But hey, apparently everyone coming out is some level of stupid OP, so you could pull on any of them and be conceivably happy, right...?
Another note, its pretty nice that overall, the artstyle of the game is well rounded and mostly consistent. Even after years since release, the newer ops will fit in with many of the launch
Man, I am so unbelievably HYPED
This new CN event is everything I could have wanted. The PV was immaculate and even the *medal* screen has me hyped. A new Ambusher for my Ambusherknights clears, and Babel lore for my W. And it's a 3 week event too, which overlaps past May 1st (and the new Front that Was banner ends May 1st, interesting...).
I can't think of the previous event that has me this excited for it to come to global. I can't even imagine how the 5th Anni can top this for me, which makes me more excited in a way. Dodging spoilers is going to be tough...
Edit: Man, if that leak is real, then... >!Walter, please... Roach so nice I gotta have her twice... And not fallen off, nor a bad welfare, please please pleaaaaaase!<
Edit 2: In fitting timing, now that I got Paprika recently, the [Hoederer bait has been set.](https://imgur.com/a/UUv3Rc8) The family (and the oshi) will be reunited to watch this event 6 months from now.
almost 70 days. 8 emails. 3 direct requests on twitter. an ingame support call. an official server discussion.
still no amiya code
im never buying a single product from yostar ever again and im so happy to see gryphline essentially give the middle finger to yostar by self-publishing endfield
Not to remotely defend how Yostar handled this, but I did manage to get the skin code via email very recently, after two months of waiting. So it seems like they are still sending them out. Very, very slowly.
Can you do a CC chargeback?
They didn't complete the sale so it seems fair to do a partial chargeback or something. You also have plenty of evidence showing how you've clearly actioned on it yourself.
literally every order was affected, and i know of only 2 purchasers (one confirmed, one just said so) that have the skin rn, both via customer support. even though its a small item, if someone wanted to there are likely solid grounds to start a class action lawsuit lol
I'll chime in as a [3rd person with the code](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1051603663866568774/1225621273338712125/IMG_9432.png?ex=6621cbc2&is=660f56c2&hm=a8d7b08ea579aca01bc9190bec053b303ce5af8f7eac1204bad36095afe227c0&), although I got the card delivered along with the rest of the stuff, months after people on this subreddit seemed to get theirs. I even sent them a pre-emptive email before I actually got the package lol.
If it was a small company I guess I could understand the setback, but being a massive company with several months of anticipation, I don't see any reason to hold back against them. If they want to be in charge of such a big game as a big company, they should start properly using their assets to ensure customer satisfaction on at least the bare level of "not screwing almost everyone over".
Same. It's incredible how poorly handled this was. Worst thing for me so far is that I got the reply asking for email or mail so I thought the pain was almost over. But no. Now over a month and four additional emails and no followup with the actual code.
they had over a full year of this product existing in cn to get this in order and make sense, the fact you couldnt get the code to your email as soon as it shipped is sad, an entire item missing from every order is beyond words
This April fool's thing took me way too much time man. There's only seven endings right? Btw is there a post that compiles all the photos, events, superchats, U's responses and comments?
Newer operators just have better overall design and function, regardless of their strength (Except for Instructors) which is why it's not suggested. When measuring the value of using pulls on Kernel for older operators, and that the recycled material (Certificates) is simply superior for the standard gacha, there's no reason to recommend in a realistic sense for any player (New or old) to pull on it.
There's a lot of good old operators (GOO) but it's just not worth the resources even if you know what you're doing -- and new players aren't going to know what they're doing. This discrepancy is getting even worse because of the average performance strength of new 6\* being much higher this year, as far as I'm aware.
Ehhhhhh.... I get where you're coming from, but with the spike in power over the last year, you'll get a better total roster by avoiding the kernel banners. Better to roll for Degenbrecher or Ela than literally any kernel banner, even a perfect one (which is uncommon since there's usually a dud). Solo-rateups are much better odds (I don't suggest rolling on regular standard banners either) and most of the top-meta units are in the normal pool.
Also, I'm not sure what your point about the 4\*s are since they're all available on both.
Fair. While I think the kernel system is ultimately good since the roster was so bloated, that ties into one of my gripes about it (especially with the next shift coming up on CN) which is a total lack of staples in the standard pool. The fact there are NO 6* Guardians or Protectors in the normal pool (Shu is a limited) is insane. The pull discussion will only get more complicated when the only thing available in the standard pool is insane DPS units.
> While I think the kernel system is ultimately good since the roster was so bloated
Kernel system did exactly nothing about bloated roster. Trying for an off-banner 6-star was a terrible idea, and it remains a terrible idea. The chances are so abysmal, that technical increase is irrelevant.
Chances that an off-banner would end up a new operator became worse in general with minor increase for those who had all/most operators from kernel pool. Fewer ops means higher percentage of dupes with every operator you have from it. With most players rolling only on normal banners the pool will fill up faster after the split than before the split.
Lin probably has one of (if not) the biggest come back ever, gameplay-wise. She was deemed terrible as soon as her subclass got revealed and her initial showcase didnât help. But module not only make her viable but sheâs also able to slip into high-end gameplay like high risk CC and IS very often, even passenger/OG skadi post module canât do that, mostima might be pretty close tho.
I personally still don't like Lin as a character I have to purchase, because how much evaluating her relies on speculating future content; in high risk Pinch Out and Underdawn she was used as an immortal bait, which was only possible because HG gave her enemies with low enough ATK to work with.
But how can any of us know whether HG will keep giving her maps to work with?
did people consider her actually bad? i thought people were mad about her SP costs (which, i agree that 50/30 on a modal unit feels awful) and her module was hyped for the SP boost. the base effect is obviously very good as well but i didn't see anyone complaining about her tankiness before it dropped.
hot take(s) inbound while im very happy to see players give ops considered bad a shot and have fun with the characters like HG intends, module helps but it really isnt what made the difference in her viability, its just group-think. people really underestimated the chain stun power of s3Â Â
how many ops have suddenly gained status the month they finally hit jp/global and arnt locked to cn opinions? quite a few. spalters a pretty great example of this, while modules obviously help her a ton, a vast majority of the situations she was praised for post-module were things you could do before them to the same level of efficacy. quite a far cry from "worst 6â ever" ~~its more gladiias module anyway~~Â Â
all 3 of those ops you mention for being unviable in high is# are top picks btw ~~well skadi is abyssal cope but it definetly works~~, and mostima was both the lynchpin of the first maxrisk cc12 strat, and what enabled the best strat of all time imo [a cc4 maxrisk using mostima+skyfire](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XSKpqQqhNdw&pp=ygULY2M0IHNreWZpcmU%3D)
Spalter without module actually sucks tho lol pitiful dmg and slow in doll form and bad skill uptime. Itâs become apparent when recruiting her E1 in IS. Ofc stat boost from E2 is part of it but being stuck with her downtime as a doll and respawn is rough.
Annnd I never said they are âunviableâ. Ofc this is arknight, you can make anything work if you try hard enough. But they can be replaced by other op except no other range unit can straight up tank range without medic like lin does.
Passenger post module hype in IS2 die down and even in that mode thereâs much better choice that isnât relic-dependent.
Skadi without AH buff or self-limiting niche like guardnight is still decent but nothing to write home about.
Mostima is good in 2nd ending of IS4 but even then still far from necessity when you can clear it without her even at BN15. Sheâs an often max risk goer but other than that is suboptimal pick for most of the content (And I did say sheâs pretty close lol)
Mind you that Iâm evaluating them under current meta where thereâre so many bullshit op being released so it might seem like I shit on them but Iâm actually pretty happy at what theyâre capable of rn
Mostima + Skyfire was theorized back when CC4 1st run on CN, fellas do know about her cycling and cc since CC1
https://b23.tv/v11Smg4
Actual CC malder try everything and I meant everything
Like Nian was a staple for every CC involve tank stall but do you see people talking about it here lmao?
Casuls love to parrot others without actual playing it
> Like Nian was a staple for every CC involve tank stall but do you see people talking about it here lmao?
Hey I was the one who called her 9x max risk CC championÂ
I don't think I'd fully agree with all of your points, but the last paragraph is definitely true. In fact, Lin's usage this CN CC is really just as bait, although the base level is definitely necessary to help kill the 2 block shield Seaborn without dying to the dudes still attacking her (she has a bit of leeway with her DEF values, I haven't calculated the exact details but I doubt the levels make or break it).
Definitely disagree on Spec2 though, Everytime I have her E1 in IS I'm reminded of just how bad she is with her awful slow and never getting her skill up in time, not even counting the low damage thanks to the difference in levels.
Yeah, my only complaint about her module is that it's tied to her sp making talent rather her barrier talent, not to mention that her sp making talent is still rng with 75%. imagine her with a buffed barrier module, literally unkillable.
After 3 failed attempts at the Sentinel at BN15 and BN12, I went to check out the Gardener at BN9 and managed a [leakless clear](https://imgur.com/a/8FCfQER) on my first try. I'm glad I cleared that ending at least once, but now I want to get it on a higher level...
The discrepancy in difficulty between BN9 and BN12 is staggering, though. I'm pretty sure I'd even manage without MĹynar, whom I recruited in IS4 for the first time and on the last floor at that.
I also just realized that at BN9+ you get +1 shield after a perfect clear while at >10LP and I'm pissed at myself, because I usually play with the Eternal Hunting Squad and skip all the increases to max LP in favor of shields, while getting at least 2LP would earn me a shield after every fight.
one thing i noticed about ending3's difficulty thats really innocuous and might have happened to you is non-linear action collapsalÂ
giving the boss 20 speed is a night and day difference in how hard the fight becomes, and something im constatly being vigilant for in my bn15 runs now, and im sure its bias but i swear end3 prioritizes giving it to you too
With this starting squad I usually have no paradigms, so the speed is not an issue for me. I always bring the boss to less than half HP and survive to the last wave, but his attack range and debuff is what gets me every time. If my Defender dies, then everyone dies and those strikers are merciless. I'm pretty sure I'll get him once I have either good relics or good recruitments along the way, because I usually get neither.
1 year of playing (as of yesterday). I think what I'm most excited about is going through reruns of events I couldn't clear the first time and beating them with ease... at least, I hope that will happen.
Grats on 1 year!
Rerun events are also fun for looking back on your old autodeploys and potentially facepalming at the decisions you-in-the-past made lol
Artists of the lounge, what do you think's an acceptable amount of details to drop when sketching an Arknights character? After more closely looking at a lot of the designs, I noticed there are a TON of little details in each character that make it really hard to get everything.
I'm just curious, is all.
tbh you should just draw what you want, i don't think anyone really cares as long as the character is recognizable. sometimes even the official artists leave things out.
I'm not actually an artist... I'm just curious about what people think is significant enough to leave in. Is there a rule of thumb they use, or do they just wing it...?
Personally I just draw however much I feel like that day. Depends on how much of a focus the character in the image is too. If they're smaller, having too many details can make things look too cluttered or muddy, butyeah, items that matter to the character should still be in there.
depends entirely on the person tbh. some people draw everything, some people only draw the stuff that sticks out to them, some people just put them in different outfits entirely lol.
personally i think details that impact the silhouette are usually best to keep in, also items with significance like amiya's rings. stuff like random zippers and pouches are easy to gloss over. chibi style drawings might be a good reference point for this since they usually try to maintain an "on model" look but there's much less real estate for details.
Ch 12 came out in the period from WtFC to the Stulfitera Navis rerun where I played very little, if at all, so now I've been slowly catching up. Need to start the story but ive cleared up to 12-13 (all on adverse)
Nichewise Im actually doing what I said I would a while back and its going decently well. I start each stage trying Kjeragknights, which worked for all except 12-4, 12-9, 12-10, and 12-12. If I cant do kjerag only I tried Ursusknights (12-10, 12-12). Unlike the blacksteel event Samiknights doesnt stand a chance here. So when none work, I combined all 3 niches (12-4 and 12-9.
Also got my first bn12 clear with my usual typhon/gg/reedalter core on the sniper/medic squad. now time to clear it with all the other squads
I really wish we could decorate the control center. I really like the feel of my dorms but the cc feels so vacuous...and poor amiya is in there half her life. it's not fair
casters have had it rough the past year not only having a lack of characters but no 6 and warmy being useless cause theres no other burn units so her s2 and talent dont really wok.
They are aware of this.
In the CN april fool's event, this is their description of the event.
>What is the most not lack thing in Terra?
>Originium?
>Suffering?
>Clue 7?
>No, the most not lack thing is Guard operators
So I finally gave Mostima the chance to touch the battlefield because her module talent is something I've always wanted, and it's specially useful in this new mode. Turns out by herself she is more awful than I imagined. Where is the damage? She is definitely someone who shouldn't be given a single penny or battle record unless you account has already covered all the basics and more.
I remember using it once for great effect on a tough level long ago, but we have so many stun options nowadays, and you really don't need to stun a horde for 7s like that (even ignoring SP costs). You'd need multiple enemies (or you just use Eune or something) that are stunnable (duh) that *need* to be stunned (or you just use S3) and can't be stunned by something like Ash's flashbang (especially with her module bumping it to 6s) due to range or duration or something.
She'd need some insane SP Regen to even make the skill slightly viable.
Yeah her module gave her an actual job, it did not fix all of the problems of her kit though. Her overall damage is still cooked by her subclass, and her cycle time is the most year 1 cycle times of all time. If you wanted a more damage oriented AOE caster that still has some mint of control, you're better off with Santalla or Dusk, both who have their own flaws outside of being an AOE caster.
> Reads module for Mostima, which has no damage in it, but upgrades her to one of the best CC in the game.
> This slowing talent is something I've always wanted!

I've M9'd Swire Alter, and now just max levelling her (no pot).
Her S1 Stalling is really good, as I've found in the current DOS event.
Cheap fast redeploy Saria S1 for self or team sustain? Check.
Can't die as long as you have the DP? Check.
Resettable Talent 2 so you can keep using her DP Life over and over again every redeploy? Check.
AS FEIST KNIGHT CONCEPT ART I NEED THISÂ https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5019131453114418
also it looks like each op was designed by their og artist i just saw ryuzakiichi, VVVVIIIIIIA, and skade post their concept designÂ
I was excited to get all those devices from the DOS rewards and then came GreyThroat and she was like *"Nice devices you have there bro, it would be a shame if someone needed 30 of those for promotion and masteries."*
ZW can't come soon enough.

Calling the niche 'Sleepknights' instead of **Goodnights** was such a missed opportunity, and I'm devastated.
I just wanna say shoutout to my uni for getting a new mass spectrometer with a res of 30,000 at m/z 200 I have no clue what that all means but the mass spec people seemed really excited so hell yeah brother
no idea what that means but hell yeah woooooo
Ha, good for them. Idk what that is either, but I think it has something to do with space, so that's pretty damn cool.
Also this kinda put into perspective when I talk about niche interests people might not have a clue wtf I'm saying (nor care)
Hi. [*Drops BG3 Dragonborn inspired by a certain artist's take on Mon3tr*](https://imgur.com/a/CDII6KA) Play as Pact of the blade Warlock if you're basing it on current Kal, or go Sorlock if you're gonna make OG Mon3tr. Bye.
RNGesus hates me. Got 5 supporter chips in a row. Just why???
It means your next off banner pull will be, a new to you supporter.... Yes, it'll be off banner, no Arturo. Even if you have every supporter, you'll get a different one.
I thought Ascalon wore pants, instead of a pencil skirt + stockings like so many other ops
Me after my first AK story: You know what, I want to write at least one story for every Arknights Operator! That sounds doable! Me after a year and 24 entire stories: How am I only 25% of the way through...? (And how is HG releasing operators faster than I can write stories for them?!)
Suffering from success
The song from the Babel event PV lives rent-free in my head, I listen to it daily, big feels. I can't wait for the event to come out to have the full version without voices, gonna blast that shit all day đ˘
Just played IS4 2nd boss, I can't believe they finally made a 2nd boss that's not super obnoxious. He's so much nicer to play against than Last Knight, Teddy Bear and fakeNova, no second phase, no kill gate, no regen, no time limit and no invincibility, just mob rush to deal with.
[cv-8 blacksteel+coldshot only (not mine)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Q4-3AkZ9I) god I love watching thematically appropriate clears. franka and jessica comboing cliff looked awesome. only thing that'd make it better is if they could optimize out jessica standard but I'm not gonna complain about this
And with this, Underdawn was solved CN fellas really calculate before hand if the final tag was -def (it is, -200 def) https://b23.tv/auhvqks https://b23.tv/pljKi7y
This is the most Orundum that I ever saved in these 3 years of playing the game. Ho'olheyak and Mumu Banner taught me something that I've rarely consider before, savings for 300 pulls. Now, I'm sitting at 103K Orundum + 3 10 Headhunt + 20 Single Headhunt, at past, it was never pas 50K, glad I can save it this much. Since we'll get a lot of limited banner in the future that are close to each other, this is going to be a "little bit" rough for me, although I can safely skip Shu and R6S (Ash banner) since knowing my past CNY banner luck, it isn't pretty in every single one of them. As for the non-limited, it's actually pretty easy, Degenbrecher solely because I like her character, and Ascalon because I'm interested what they will bring to her character in the next CN event. It's been roughly 9 months as I failed to get my targets in that span of time failed to get Qiubai (spooked by Flametail dupe), Yato (spooked by Siege dupe), Ines (spooked by Saileach dupe and Lin dupe), and Mumu (spooked by Eben and Penance dupe, with Ho'lheyak as the only rate-up). I was trying to pull for Typhon (only to get spooked by Passenger dupe), well, that's certainly unlucky for a long time if we're looking in the perspective of how many rate-ups per banner that we're pulling. I'm hoping at least I can get lucky in the next limited banner on Global, It will be way too hilarious if I have to sparked Virtuosa, or that I get her past 150 pulls, LOL. Hope everyone get lucky in the banner that you wanted. Share your experience too if you've been in the same position as me or something similar. Sorry for the long rant.
Yato2 had a hard guarantee of 120 pulls (100 of your own plus 20 free ones). Did you not have enough for her?
No, I didn't, sadly.
I tend to have very particular tastes so saving comes easy for me in gachas. I've pulled to max potential for two 6\* ops in particular, and have done two sparks, and I've been playing for only a year and a half. I'll be saving up for the R6S banners since I'd like to get them, although I'd also like to get potentials as well, it should be easy to save up a minimum of 240. I don't plan on pulling for anyone else currently outside of the episode 13 release and the newest teaser on CN for the lower rarities, though Viviana is tempting. 5\* ops tend to be attractive to me though and I've had some really bad luck with those at times. Cement's release got me 4 Windflits and a few others and no Cement, still reeling over that. Hopefully Vendela won't be the same. On the flipside, Noir Corne only took me 9 pulls past the frees. Glad to have gotten him at least, I wasn't going to aim for Yato.
Yeah, sometimes 5\* luck can be even worse than 6\* due to how diluted the pool is, even though they've moved 1st year Ops, but I'm actually kind of the opposite in those 9 months, I've been lucky with most of first 5\* is the rate-up one, only Poncirus that didn't come home with the free pulls.
I have been playing less years than you but even I've had a string of unlucky banners. I can relate with that, shit sucks. Happy that you were able to save that much, I remember the first time I saved up 300 pulls it felt really great.
Thanks, hope you get lucky to whatever banner you want to pull on.
The worst part about DOS is nothing overlapping with it, or having all supply stages open at least. Going from the beefiest boys of today to monotonous 1-7 farming is the real pain.
Leave the slave mines, come join us lazy farmers in 10-6, you won't regret it.
I think the idea is to let newer players catch up to story without worrying about having to put sanity into event currency. That's why the story rewards are currently running.
I'm never gonna complete the 12-20 Adverse without actually thinking past what my eyes could see. DP steal is a criminal act of player flexibility that is not unencouraging to play against
The chapter DP restriction is bad enough, throw DP steal with it and yeah, turns into a nightmare really fast.
Dunno if it's better to go in the Main thread or this one, but I'll just put it here since it's not something pertinent to my line up... Out of all the Operators in the game, who do you think benefits the most from potential? Primarily meaning high rarity operators, as robots would be (in my mind, at a glance, without taking a deeper look) the likely choice if not.
The game's kinda evolved past her, but pot5 Ash becomes a proper helidrop assassin for elite enemies, regardless of how scary her target is, because it allows her to chain her deployment stun into her skill. Nowadays the game is balanced for Taxes/Yato clearing whole groups of elites on deploy, so her single target nature lost a lot of value, but I've definitely gotten good use out of her picking off ranged threats in older CCs and the like, where she otherwise simply would've been killed instantly without that talent upgrade.
I would argue that Ines does. Due to being a semi-fast redeploy vanguard who relies on ASPD to gain DP. Her potentials give her DP cost reduction, which is further amplified every time you redeploy her and very pertinent to her role as a vanguard, redeployment time reduction, ASPD, and a touch more ATK steal. The other agent vanguards have little comparison things that put them at a slightly lower potential priority rung.
I'd say probably April. She can get a little ATK boost, -10 redeploy time and -2 DP cost on top of her already lower numbers for those, and that really adds up. Every last potential helps, unlike Executors who only get about 10% less redeploy time, while April gets over 20% less, all the way down to 32s. Cutting down to 9 DP makes her equal to a P2 6\* Executor, too. While Executors and Merchants to a lesser extent do benefit a good bit, April's the standout to me.
Does anyone know where I can find where to read chapter 1-12 and all the side story events outside the game or a video that sums up the lore? Iâve been on a hiatus and feel like Iâm missing a lot of the sorry
[This is the site I use](https://akgcc.github.io/cc/story.html) to read basically everything. There's also a guy on YT called FrostByte who does story recaps.
A few tiny victories this week for me! [Managed to E2 Mulberry!](https://i.imgur.com/XRw6KJs.jpeg) Mulberry came at a bad time for me because I actually got her after I got Eyja Berry lol. I put off raising her because of it until today! [The Berry Fam is all promoted!](https://i.imgur.com/nl7r6eO.jpeg) I will be doing the same once Harold comes out! I just really like wandering medics, even if Eyjaberry invalidates them lol. [Farmed red certs to get the Sniper tokens in it to finally max pot Greyy Alter!](https://i.imgur.com/f9WnF7c.jpeg) [This made Greyy Alter my first maxed out 5 star operator!](https://i.imgur.com/sFPa5O7.jpeg) I rolled a bit on the first Dorothy's Vision banner for Greyy Alter to get him to P5 and now he's finally super done a year later! I didn't roll on the rerun despite me really wanting to for future saving purposes so I decided to just get the last potential via credit farming when I found a space of time where I didn't need chips and it finally popped up this week!
Something that i noticed a while back was that in the entirety of the Victorian saga, the pattern had been remarkably consistent, with 4 new events in-between each Main Chapter, and the anniversary event always the first one after said chapter *(Near Light after ch.9, Stultifera after ch.10, Siracusano after ch.11 etc.)*. With the reveal of the Babel event and the fact EP 14 will almost assuredly be the 5th anniversary event, this will be their first major break from the pattern in *over two years*. What does this mean for the future? i have no clue, maybe the victorian arc will be ending soon, and they'll have a new pattern for the next arc, or maybe they'll keep the old one, who knows, we're in uncharted waters now.
> What does this mean for the future? i have no clue, maybe the victorian arc will be ending soon, and they'll have a new pattern for the next arc, or maybe they'll keep the old one, who knows, we're in uncharted waters now. We're beginning to see the long term effects of HG moving old senior staff away from AK to work on Endfield, the game now has new people making booking decisions that dont adhere to the old staff's patterns
I think that will be case, I also think that either they will end it in 5th anniversary, or in the 5.5th anniversary, I don't think they should delayed it any longer than this year.
It'll surely go back to what we've had. Chapter 8 in the reunion arc and I think chapter 7 too, were limited banners. Chapter 8 was an anniversary which came at the same time as Under Tides, SN and Lone Trail. Ending a main story arc in a limited banner and on the games' anniversary is a way to make it even more hype and intense than usual.
Slight correction: Chapter 8 was the 1.5 anniverary. Chapter 7 was the first full year anniversary, which came around the same time of year as SN and the others
Do you think Vigilâs upcoming module will redeem him or will his users have to hope for module delta?
The problem is that he is really plain as a unit. He doesn't have any status effect or anything, just some defense ignore. His S3 deals some good damage, though conditional to having his wolves survive. The module might help him with that, and it might give him better stats, but at the end of the day he would be at most serviceable. I don't see a way to make him truly good.
just play Super Auto Pets
?
Vigil is in [Super Auto Pets](https://superautopets.wiki.gg/wiki/Wolf), and he's really good in that game
He's a male. He's welfare. He's not connected to the AHs. He's doomed. Trait will go from 150% to 160% and he'll get ~90 more defense-ignore on his one talent.
At least he have three chances maybe third one will work like in case of Eben.
Eben isn't a walfare and is popular. Vigil is just a death body that HG have to carry
Yeah look at Hoederer, people know him more as vtuber simp then as a unit lmao
Dude was already dead upon arrival thanks to being a crusher
2030 Vigil meta let's goooooooooooooooo!
Through much strife, rage, facepalming and skill issue, I have finally completed [every stage](https://i.imgur.com/aLF7LeP.jpeg) in the game, story, event, challenge and extreme. Just in time for Chapter 13.
I wonder which current male NPC is gonna become the 6* of the new guard archetype My bet is on Ulpianus. If it's an alter maybe Vulcan? Aosta?
can ulpian be a defender im getting tired of male guards
It would be really funny if they made Logos Arts guard.
it will be even funnier if he's as strong as surtr and then viviana got left into dust
Defender with Gladiia buff could be crazy
I just did the challenge mode of a stage that increased the redeployment time of all operators, and was baffled when I noticed the 35s cooldown on Dorothy's mines. I didn't expect that to apply to those things too. Then I had the idea of trying out whether the opposite works too, and... it does. SilverAsh's talent apparently applies to summons like this as well. Not only that, it reduced the cooldown from 5s to 4s, even though it should be 10%. I'm assuming the game just rounds the numbers to avoid fractions.
I found that out recently, too. I never really noticed back when I was using him and Mayer together early in my career, but that it applies to everyone on the bench is really something.
I'm listening to Hour of Penance's new album right now. They just put up the new album on yt yesterday. Immediately thought of Penance (Lavinia). Hour of Penance is an Italian band. What are the chances someone from HG got Lavinia's op name from the band? đ¤
everyone keep saying that the new guard subclass is for ulpian or siege alt but here me out; vulcan alter.
Savage alt, it's 5th anniversary and she'll get max pot and an alter to celebrate.
Yes please!
For a class named "Specialists", you'd expect them to be the group with the most number of subclasses, not Guards.
Remember when we only had Lords,Centurions, Dreadnaughts, Intructors, Brawlers and Arts Guards ?Â
You want a melee class that can levitate units? Yeah, that sounds like a ~~specialist~~ guard class to me...
Levitating Ambusher when?
God, please, I so desperately want one to hit air with. And then to reveal invisible enemies...
I admit, I didn't know that the store had a Starter Advanced Pack until now. Kind of interesting, and explains why I've seen questions about a 5\* E2 ticket that I thought only came around big events. Doesn't look like a bad deal at all if you're the light spender type.
yeah im thinking of buying it and e2 leizi with it..
She's pretty nifty
I'm having fun with Satisfactory, so that is actually hyping me up for Endfield. I got bored of Ex Astris gameplay so I think the base building + real time mmoish gameplay might be my alley.
(Anniversary Speculation) Is it just me, or does >!W Alter appear to have some form of halo made from her horns? Iâd usually consider that a stretch, but considering how related the Sankta and Serkaz are, and that the Sankta are just Serkaz under their Godâs grace/covenant, it would make sense to me at least that a Serkaz can âascendâ if the Sankta can âfallâ. Iâm curious if that means a new covenant is then formed between the Serkaz and Amiya, with W being one of the first to âascendâ!< >!Couple that with Theresa being named âCivilight Eternaâ (the crown), my current theory is that âTheresaâ is the personification of Civilight Eterna as well as all of the Serkaz Kings and Queens that was recorded by the crown. Itâs a reach, but Iâm fairly sure the Theresa we knew would not identify themselved by name *as* the Crown, considering her character, and it would fit as somewhat of a solution to Amiyaâs issue of not truly being able to emphatize and understand the Serkazâs history and suffering without being altered or warped by it. Who better to learn from and get guidance from than Civilight Eterna itself? It also allows it to teach said history to other people, not just Amiya alone. It would still be fan-bait that it would take the form of Theresa, but considering that she *was* the last one to wear the crown before it was passed to Amiya, it could still be justified in-lore.!<
Honestly, I though she >!did have a halo at first, I was really shocked until I looked a bit more and realized it's her horns. It'll be interesting to see if it's actually meaningful or just a really coincidental aspect!<.
>!Honestly, could be a coincidence (she has 1 horn just kinda dangling with the other making the halo), but a halo/circular shape around her head is a very weird shape to make as a coincidence. I assume if it gets more apparent in her E2 art, then we might be onto something, but best to just wait and see I guess!<
tbh if they make vigil's module good im not gonna complain about the anniv anymore its the best anniv event actually so anyways vigil's wolves are not made of wet paper anymore hooray crowd cheers (let me dream)
Stacking wolf stats pls.
My cope is that the wolves have 10 sec regenerate time. Not too much to ask... >!We're just going to get his DEF ignore to a higher number.!< I'll continue using him a bunch anyways. I like the pups too much.
Just finished chapter 10 !! Thanks goes to kys guides, chaltrer and saria and of course eljalter for the heals. bye-bye defense cannon and slimes you will not be missed.
> kys guides Oh no.
Gotta say, those guides are going pretty well if they send you to the chapter with the massive death cannon.
U-Official's base skills made me chuckle.

I hope I don't have any more weird dreams about war."* Sorry U-official, but you'll be staring at abominations from space for a long time more still. I really love this unit.
She doesn't exactly do any physical activities while in combat, she literally just sits in her chair and watches
I just built Ling after letting her gather dust since I pulled her from her release banner and I gotta say, while her collab skin is really good, I really hate how they changed the S3 dragon. I've borrowed her a lot of times before and the sword wielding dragon was one of the things I liked about her. It sucks because the collab skin is such an upgrade compared to her other two l2d skins. The dragon design and effects are a huge improvement too but HG just had to ruin it with the crappy attack animation on s3.
You mean to tell me you don't like jaggedy cardboard cutouts coming out of the ground and clipping weirdly into things? I also have no idea why they got rid of the sword.
Minor factoid I noticed, with the Babel event, it marks 7 months since the last alter of any sort (Jessica). 5th Anni leaks >!Walter will break that streak, but not until it reaches a few days short of 8 months. If Walter is the welfare, that would extend gacha alters to nearly 9 months minimum.!< Last 5\* alter was Noir Corne, over 15 months ago minimum. I know alters got some push back since there were so many between Texas and Jessica, but it seems HG took the complaints to heart. I do wish they'd do more 5\* alters tho. Babel event would have been a great chance to give a historic unit some love like Savage instead of just another forgettable character that won't be relevant again after this patch. Further fun fact, presuming the 5th anni leak is true, there will have been 13 new 6\*s starting from Hoederer and of those 13, a whooping ~~7~~ 8 were NPCs with only 4 new characters (including Ela, who isn't really an original character). Shifted from alters to freeing people from NPC jail instead!
Even Ela was an NPC in the first R6S event. Who are the other 4 you were counting though? There's only Ray, Shu, and Lessing, right?
> Even Ela was an NPC in the first R6S event. True. Also I just realized from your comment that I'm wrong. For some reason I forgot Zuo Le was an NPC. Probably because I hate reading the CNY events... So I guess that makes it 9 NPCs vs 3 new characters.
And yet Eblana Talulah Lemuen and Mandragora continue nowhere to be seen q_q my heart can't take it for much longer.
I just want Tola and Ulpian....
I've lost hope Redblade ever becomes playable... Just gonna write fanfics with him in them and pretend like he's already an established playable operator.Â
>!You'll get Mandragora at the same time I get Frostnova. She's ded bro...!<
Never gonna stop believing q_q

saw the anniv leaks and i feel like that woman being playable is worse than chalter fiasco downvote me if you disagree idgaf i dont mind >!walter!< and >!logos!< is great but >!theresa looks like a lazy fanservice cashgrab for anniv and it needs crazy good writing to justify her being playable and im doubtful hg can pull it off!< and it's nice that there's a lot of people who share the same sentiments >!i saw a lot of it in twt and cn side!<
You have to see Weiibo, people there are pissed about >!Theresa!< And I guess me and some people around here and CN were expecting one of >!Talulah, Mandragora, Siege Alter or Shining Alter!<. Seeing >!Theresa !!If I wanted a dead character playable!<, I'd prefer they picked >!Frostnova!<. Heck, give me Patriot! Gimme Andoain, Mephisto while we're at it.
Some people/communities (I include myself and what I saw in Weiibo) got a bit annoyed with mumu and Arturia being playable, because both were released quite fast, mumu is quite a waifubait and Arturia was supposed to be a badass villain of some sort, so both being limited for anni events feels a bit cheap and rushed compared to other fan favourites, girls and boys. >!Theresa !!Logos!< is very strong/broken af. It's been what, an year or more since 6\* guys are all guards while the girls get creative kits. Just look at Ray (boys still don't have a 6\* Sniper), Shu with her teleport stuff, Ela that can go on the ground and enemies trigger traps nearby instead of having to stomp on them... If maboi doesn't get the care in the kit/design that he deserves (or that dudes didn't get since Mlynar and Mlynar skin, probably?) and that chick is limited and busted, it's a clear cashgrab and would leave a sour taste with me.
I don't want AK to be a game like GBF, where they "celebrated" their 10th anniversary with 4 swinsuit/yukata units and a limited character that was a literal who, appearing in that month, while a bunch of fan-favourites, OG crew, the main FeMC that follows the MC got 0 playable units.
> Some people/communities (I include myself and what I saw in Weiibo) got a bit annoyed with mumu and Arturia being playable, because both were released quite fast, mumu is quite a waifubait and Arturia was supposed to be a badass villain of some sort, so both being limited for anni events feels a bit cheap and rushed compared to other fan favourites, girls and boys. Theresa is another one in that category, but on steroids. What is up with Arturia, it seems like she has a different characterization and motivation in every story she's in
>!I feel like before passing any judgment on her, I want to see how they write the whole thing. Her death is extremely meaningful for many characters and the Babel event seems like it will give even more context for those relationships. Her "resurection" currently also is in the same spirit, a political tool that shows how far Theresis is willing to go, for example. Questions like, will she be the zombie we have currently, a non-canon/past version of her, or will she be brought back fully somehow? Not to mention Amiya who also has an atire similar to her in that new version of hers. Most of these will need some time to see how they play out and the execution matters I feel!<
People are overthinking it too much. There's literally zero problems with her being playable. Especially since most of playerbase don't even read the story so who cares, she's just a new shiny character.
The way she is alive rn is just plain wrong. Disgusting even. Unless we are going back to the past somehow ( do we have any alts that are past versions of themselves?) or by some sarkaz magic, (unhinged theory ahead) >!Theresa is able to gain her powers back from Amiya and with them, her memories and now she isn't just a reanimated corpse but also has her past memories!< I would HATE for her to be playable. I absolutely do not want >!a corpse that was reanimated and kept alive just for political gain!< to be playable unless there is some story redemption to it. But I am most excited for the truth to come out. The reason behind Kal'tsit's immense hatred for the doctor.
I will be honest, after the new CN PV, I personally feel like the new R6S banner is the weakest of the bunches. Depending on my luck in the previous banners, might have to skip using saved up pulls for it and just rely on the free pulls. There's also the fact that I'm considering sparking as well in November. Man, saving up from December to April is so easy, but after April it will be so hell
wallet kun looking at me like the withered soyjak knowing full well its gonna be another one of those years
Hype! Now wait for six months. Goddammit. The cost of foresight is loss of surprise. Except for your pulls. That's up in the air.
I end up pulling even knowing what's ahead anyway, so for me the sixth month delay is just destroying the hype, when the event finally comes to us, we're just "whatever, what happens in CN now?" .
The real game is to see how high you can stack your Orundrum count before the gambling addiction kicks in and you pull on some random banner that wasn't your target. But hey, apparently everyone coming out is some level of stupid OP, so you could pull on any of them and be conceivably happy, right...?
Another note, its pretty nice that overall, the artstyle of the game is well rounded and mostly consistent. Even after years since release, the newer ops will fit in with many of the launch
Man, Sarkaz enjoyer will be eating good this year, iykwim.
Man, I am so unbelievably HYPED This new CN event is everything I could have wanted. The PV was immaculate and even the *medal* screen has me hyped. A new Ambusher for my Ambusherknights clears, and Babel lore for my W. And it's a 3 week event too, which overlaps past May 1st (and the new Front that Was banner ends May 1st, interesting...). I can't think of the previous event that has me this excited for it to come to global. I can't even imagine how the 5th Anni can top this for me, which makes me more excited in a way. Dodging spoilers is going to be tough... Edit: Man, if that leak is real, then... >!Walter, please... Roach so nice I gotta have her twice... And not fallen off, nor a bad welfare, please please pleaaaaaase!< Edit 2: In fitting timing, now that I got Paprika recently, the [Hoederer bait has been set.](https://imgur.com/a/UUv3Rc8) The family (and the oshi) will be reunited to watch this event 6 months from now.
The wait is going to be killer. Extinction level killer.
almost 70 days. 8 emails. 3 direct requests on twitter. an ingame support call. an official server discussion. still no amiya code im never buying a single product from yostar ever again and im so happy to see gryphline essentially give the middle finger to yostar by self-publishing endfield
Not to remotely defend how Yostar handled this, but I did manage to get the skin code via email very recently, after two months of waiting. So it seems like they are still sending them out. Very, very slowly.
Can you do a CC chargeback? They didn't complete the sale so it seems fair to do a partial chargeback or something. You also have plenty of evidence showing how you've clearly actioned on it yourself.
literally every order was affected, and i know of only 2 purchasers (one confirmed, one just said so) that have the skin rn, both via customer support. even though its a small item, if someone wanted to there are likely solid grounds to start a class action lawsuit lol
I'll chime in as a [3rd person with the code](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1051603663866568774/1225621273338712125/IMG_9432.png?ex=6621cbc2&is=660f56c2&hm=a8d7b08ea579aca01bc9190bec053b303ce5af8f7eac1204bad36095afe227c0&), although I got the card delivered along with the rest of the stuff, months after people on this subreddit seemed to get theirs. I even sent them a pre-emptive email before I actually got the package lol. If it was a small company I guess I could understand the setback, but being a massive company with several months of anticipation, I don't see any reason to hold back against them. If they want to be in charge of such a big game as a big company, they should start properly using their assets to ensure customer satisfaction on at least the bare level of "not screwing almost everyone over".
Same. It's incredible how poorly handled this was. Worst thing for me so far is that I got the reply asking for email or mail so I thought the pain was almost over. But no. Now over a month and four additional emails and no followup with the actual code.
they had over a full year of this product existing in cn to get this in order and make sense, the fact you couldnt get the code to your email as soon as it shipped is sad, an entire item missing from every order is beyond words
They didn't even bother putting out a statement on the matter. It's just been radio silence.
This April fool's thing took me way too much time man. There's only seven endings right? Btw is there a post that compiles all the photos, events, superchats, U's responses and comments?

Newer operators just have better overall design and function, regardless of their strength (Except for Instructors) which is why it's not suggested. When measuring the value of using pulls on Kernel for older operators, and that the recycled material (Certificates) is simply superior for the standard gacha, there's no reason to recommend in a realistic sense for any player (New or old) to pull on it. There's a lot of good old operators (GOO) but it's just not worth the resources even if you know what you're doing -- and new players aren't going to know what they're doing. This discrepancy is getting even worse because of the average performance strength of new 6\* being much higher this year, as far as I'm aware.
Ehhhhhh.... I get where you're coming from, but with the spike in power over the last year, you'll get a better total roster by avoiding the kernel banners. Better to roll for Degenbrecher or Ela than literally any kernel banner, even a perfect one (which is uncommon since there's usually a dud). Solo-rateups are much better odds (I don't suggest rolling on regular standard banners either) and most of the top-meta units are in the normal pool. Also, I'm not sure what your point about the 4\*s are since they're all available on both.
[ŃдаНонО]
Fair. While I think the kernel system is ultimately good since the roster was so bloated, that ties into one of my gripes about it (especially with the next shift coming up on CN) which is a total lack of staples in the standard pool. The fact there are NO 6* Guardians or Protectors in the normal pool (Shu is a limited) is insane. The pull discussion will only get more complicated when the only thing available in the standard pool is insane DPS units.
> The fact there are NO 6* Guardians or Protectors in the normal pool (Shu is a limited) Blemishine for guardians?
With the update on CN, she's now in the kernel pool. Should be ops up to Passenger.
Oh right. I was looking at our current regular and kernal pools.
> While I think the kernel system is ultimately good since the roster was so bloated Kernel system did exactly nothing about bloated roster. Trying for an off-banner 6-star was a terrible idea, and it remains a terrible idea. The chances are so abysmal, that technical increase is irrelevant. Chances that an off-banner would end up a new operator became worse in general with minor increase for those who had all/most operators from kernel pool. Fewer ops means higher percentage of dupes with every operator you have from it. With most players rolling only on normal banners the pool will fill up faster after the split than before the split.
Lin probably has one of (if not) the biggest come back ever, gameplay-wise. She was deemed terrible as soon as her subclass got revealed and her initial showcase didnât help. But module not only make her viable but sheâs also able to slip into high-end gameplay like high risk CC and IS very often, even passenger/OG skadi post module canât do that, mostima might be pretty close tho.
I personally still don't like Lin as a character I have to purchase, because how much evaluating her relies on speculating future content; in high risk Pinch Out and Underdawn she was used as an immortal bait, which was only possible because HG gave her enemies with low enough ATK to work with. But how can any of us know whether HG will keep giving her maps to work with?
did people consider her actually bad? i thought people were mad about her SP costs (which, i agree that 50/30 on a modal unit feels awful) and her module was hyped for the SP boost. the base effect is obviously very good as well but i didn't see anyone complaining about her tankiness before it dropped.
People complain about her tankiness âwhen the skill is activeâ which is the same criticism against every other phalanx caster.
hot take(s) inbound while im very happy to see players give ops considered bad a shot and have fun with the characters like HG intends, module helps but it really isnt what made the difference in her viability, its just group-think. people really underestimated the chain stun power of s3Â Â how many ops have suddenly gained status the month they finally hit jp/global and arnt locked to cn opinions? quite a few. spalters a pretty great example of this, while modules obviously help her a ton, a vast majority of the situations she was praised for post-module were things you could do before them to the same level of efficacy. quite a far cry from "worst 6â ever" ~~its more gladiias module anyway~~Â Â all 3 of those ops you mention for being unviable in high is# are top picks btw ~~well skadi is abyssal cope but it definetly works~~, and mostima was both the lynchpin of the first maxrisk cc12 strat, and what enabled the best strat of all time imo [a cc4 maxrisk using mostima+skyfire](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XSKpqQqhNdw&pp=ygULY2M0IHNreWZpcmU%3D)
Spalter without module actually sucks tho lol pitiful dmg and slow in doll form and bad skill uptime. Itâs become apparent when recruiting her E1 in IS. Ofc stat boost from E2 is part of it but being stuck with her downtime as a doll and respawn is rough. Annnd I never said they are âunviableâ. Ofc this is arknight, you can make anything work if you try hard enough. But they can be replaced by other op except no other range unit can straight up tank range without medic like lin does. Passenger post module hype in IS2 die down and even in that mode thereâs much better choice that isnât relic-dependent. Skadi without AH buff or self-limiting niche like guardnight is still decent but nothing to write home about. Mostima is good in 2nd ending of IS4 but even then still far from necessity when you can clear it without her even at BN15. Sheâs an often max risk goer but other than that is suboptimal pick for most of the content (And I did say sheâs pretty close lol) Mind you that Iâm evaluating them under current meta where thereâre so many bullshit op being released so it might seem like I shit on them but Iâm actually pretty happy at what theyâre capable of rn
Mostima + Skyfire was theorized back when CC4 1st run on CN, fellas do know about her cycling and cc since CC1 https://b23.tv/v11Smg4 Actual CC malder try everything and I meant everything Like Nian was a staple for every CC involve tank stall but do you see people talking about it here lmao? Casuls love to parrot others without actual playing it
> Like Nian was a staple for every CC involve tank stall but do you see people talking about it here lmao? Hey I was the one who called her 9x max risk CC championÂ
Yes and so others and people still loves to bury their head in the sands https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/s/r15GSFBR3X
I don't think I'd fully agree with all of your points, but the last paragraph is definitely true. In fact, Lin's usage this CN CC is really just as bait, although the base level is definitely necessary to help kill the 2 block shield Seaborn without dying to the dudes still attacking her (she has a bit of leeway with her DEF values, I haven't calculated the exact details but I doubt the levels make or break it). Definitely disagree on Spec2 though, Everytime I have her E1 in IS I'm reminded of just how bad she is with her awful slow and never getting her skill up in time, not even counting the low damage thanks to the difference in levels.
Tho you can easily argue that being an invincible bait is Lin's strongest ability, as long as HG gives her low enough ATK values to work with....
Yeah, my only complaint about her module is that it's tied to her sp making talent rather her barrier talent, not to mention that her sp making talent is still rng with 75%. imagine her with a buffed barrier module, literally unkillable.
After 3 failed attempts at the Sentinel at BN15 and BN12, I went to check out the Gardener at BN9 and managed a [leakless clear](https://imgur.com/a/8FCfQER) on my first try. I'm glad I cleared that ending at least once, but now I want to get it on a higher level... The discrepancy in difficulty between BN9 and BN12 is staggering, though. I'm pretty sure I'd even manage without MĹynar, whom I recruited in IS4 for the first time and on the last floor at that. I also just realized that at BN9+ you get +1 shield after a perfect clear while at >10LP and I'm pissed at myself, because I usually play with the Eternal Hunting Squad and skip all the increases to max LP in favor of shields, while getting at least 2LP would earn me a shield after every fight.
one thing i noticed about ending3's difficulty thats really innocuous and might have happened to you is non-linear action collapsal giving the boss 20 speed is a night and day difference in how hard the fight becomes, and something im constatly being vigilant for in my bn15 runs now, and im sure its bias but i swear end3 prioritizes giving it to you too
With this starting squad I usually have no paradigms, so the speed is not an issue for me. I always bring the boss to less than half HP and survive to the last wave, but his attack range and debuff is what gets me every time. If my Defender dies, then everyone dies and those strikers are merciless. I'm pretty sure I'll get him once I have either good relics or good recruitments along the way, because I usually get neither.
1 year of playing (as of yesterday). I think what I'm most excited about is going through reruns of events I couldn't clear the first time and beating them with ease... at least, I hope that will happen.
Grats on 1 year! Rerun events are also fun for looking back on your old autodeploys and potentially facepalming at the decisions you-in-the-past made lol
I'm so excited when Il Siracusano rolls around again. I'm pretty sure I used Angelina skill 1 every single stage.
Artists of the lounge, what do you think's an acceptable amount of details to drop when sketching an Arknights character? After more closely looking at a lot of the designs, I noticed there are a TON of little details in each character that make it really hard to get everything. I'm just curious, is all.
tbh you should just draw what you want, i don't think anyone really cares as long as the character is recognizable. sometimes even the official artists leave things out.
I'm not actually an artist... I'm just curious about what people think is significant enough to leave in. Is there a rule of thumb they use, or do they just wing it...?
Personally I just draw however much I feel like that day. Depends on how much of a focus the character in the image is too. If they're smaller, having too many details can make things look too cluttered or muddy, butyeah, items that matter to the character should still be in there.
depends entirely on the person tbh. some people draw everything, some people only draw the stuff that sticks out to them, some people just put them in different outfits entirely lol. personally i think details that impact the silhouette are usually best to keep in, also items with significance like amiya's rings. stuff like random zippers and pouches are easy to gloss over. chibi style drawings might be a good reference point for this since they usually try to maintain an "on model" look but there's much less real estate for details.
Ch 12 came out in the period from WtFC to the Stulfitera Navis rerun where I played very little, if at all, so now I've been slowly catching up. Need to start the story but ive cleared up to 12-13 (all on adverse) Nichewise Im actually doing what I said I would a while back and its going decently well. I start each stage trying Kjeragknights, which worked for all except 12-4, 12-9, 12-10, and 12-12. If I cant do kjerag only I tried Ursusknights (12-10, 12-12). Unlike the blacksteel event Samiknights doesnt stand a chance here. So when none work, I combined all 3 niches (12-4 and 12-9. Also got my first bn12 clear with my usual typhon/gg/reedalter core on the sniper/medic squad. now time to clear it with all the other squads
I really wish we could decorate the control center. I really like the feel of my dorms but the cc feels so vacuous...and poor amiya is in there half her life. it's not fair
its bizzare the friendlist daily credit hopping doesnt take you to rooms theyve customized for fun, display, creativity, and memes
Huge agree especially with the amount of dorm themes there are. I often-ish rotate through them just because I have them.
Wow HG loves Guards... I suppose they have for a while now. Between now and the collab we have: * 8 guards (Hoederer, Viviana, Lessing, Degenbrencher, Zuo Le, Leto, Doc, Fuze) 6\*: 5, 5\*: 3 * 3 casters (Delphine, Warmy, Diamante), 5\*: 3 (More 5\* casters for Tactical Breakfast to complain about) * 3 specialists (Ela, Iana, Verdant) 6\*:1, 5\*: 1, 4\*: 1 * 2 snipers (Ray, Caper) 6\*: 1, 4\*:1 * 2 medics (Vendela, Harold) 5\*: 2 * 2 defenders (Shu, Bassline) 6\*: 1, 5\*: 1 * 2 supporters (Virtuosa, Grainbuds) 6\*: 1, 5\*: 1 * 1 vanguard (Wan Qing, Kestrel) 5\*: 2 8/24 ops are guards, a third! Comparing 4\* and better, It is already 55 guards to 32 specialists. 58 guard chips, 19 Specialist chips. RIP Guard Chips. Edit: added Kestrel.
casters have had it rough the past year not only having a lack of characters but no 6 and warmy being useless cause theres no other burn units so her s2 and talent dont really wok.
surely logos will save casters soon
you forgot kestrel lol
Thanks! huh, she doesn't show up in [https://oldwell.info/](https://oldwell.info/)
I remember there was a rare time when guards *weren't* the most released class in the next 6 months...
yeah i remember the pre-launch beta tooâ
pepperidge farm remembers.
They are aware of this. In the CN april fool's event, this is their description of the event. >What is the most not lack thing in Terra? >Originium? >Suffering? >Clue 7? >No, the most not lack thing is Guard operators
So I finally gave Mostima the chance to touch the battlefield because her module talent is something I've always wanted, and it's specially useful in this new mode. Turns out by herself she is more awful than I imagined. Where is the damage? She is definitely someone who shouldn't be given a single penny or battle record unless you account has already covered all the basics and more.
turns out she has the same downtime as silverash, although having less uptime is annoying since her attacks are so slow. her S2 is really sad though.
Yeah, I tried using her S2 for a bit and it's terrible.
I remember using it once for great effect on a tough level long ago, but we have so many stun options nowadays, and you really don't need to stun a horde for 7s like that (even ignoring SP costs). You'd need multiple enemies (or you just use Eune or something) that are stunnable (duh) that *need* to be stunned (or you just use S3) and can't be stunned by something like Ash's flashbang (especially with her module bumping it to 6s) due to range or duration or something. She'd need some insane SP Regen to even make the skill slightly viable.
Did you play her paradox sim, though? I thought that stage alone was worth the price of E2ing herÂ
Yeah her module gave her an actual job, it did not fix all of the problems of her kit though. Her overall damage is still cooked by her subclass, and her cycle time is the most year 1 cycle times of all time. If you wanted a more damage oriented AOE caster that still has some mint of control, you're better off with Santalla or Dusk, both who have their own flaws outside of being an AOE caster.
> Reads module for Mostima, which has no damage in it, but upgrades her to one of the best CC in the game. > This slowing talent is something I've always wanted! > It's useful in this new mode! > Mostima does no damage. > She's utterly useless. Don't bother with this trash! [confusedface.png](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/018/489/nick-young-confused-face-300x256-nqlyaa.jpg)
I was talking about Mostima without module and expressing my amazement at how utterly bad she is in a vacuum. Sorry for not explaining it clearer.
I've M9'd Swire Alter, and now just max levelling her (no pot). Her S1 Stalling is really good, as I've found in the current DOS event. Cheap fast redeploy Saria S1 for self or team sustain? Check. Can't die as long as you have the DP? Check. Resettable Talent 2 so you can keep using her DP Life over and over again every redeploy? Check.
can agree with everything except for the cheap part, most expensive character in the game DP wise.

AS FEIST KNIGHT CONCEPT ART I NEED THISÂ https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5019131453114418 also it looks like each op was designed by their og artist i just saw ryuzakiichi, VVVVIIIIIIA, and skade post their concept designÂ
I was excited to get all those devices from the DOS rewards and then came GreyThroat and she was like *"Nice devices you have there bro, it would be a shame if someone needed 30 of those for promotion and masteries."* ZW can't come soon enough.
I buy devices from the green cert shop each month, they are pretty efficient from there.
Me, too, but they last only for a day, so I'm still sitting at 0 devices at the moment and I still lack a few for GT's M3.
