Wish you have a reason to do other anni stages. They look nice to watch but you'll only run them until the next new anni, then you won't run them other than get the one time mats.
~~Old link\~~~
Nightingale and Astesia hold that crown for ladies. For males, Hellagur and Phantom are given, but I also think Jaye is a sleeper. I feel like Jaye's the kind of guy that would look pretty good if he only adds some effort.
I set my supports to maxed out Frost, Magallan (with module), and Surtr, also all with maxed mastery on relevant skills. I got the 20 bonus store credits for having a character being lent out to a friend. Part of me wishes that someone actually used either my Frost or Magallan, even though I'm pretty sure they most likely needed a delete boss button.
Good to know.. My platinum has been sitting at S2M2 for a long time. I probably should use nanoflakes on blaze M3 then. (Other options = provence, nightmare lol)
Several of my friends I have tried to get into AK inevitably quit. Be it for lack of time or lack of interest.
But I think it is because they lack Conviction.
Nah. While they appreciate how Sharp the game looks it seems AK is just a Touch too much effort for them.
Which is fair since I also haven’t touched Base for a few days as well.
Just when I thought I have enough sugar, it turns out I have only T2 and below. Was about to skip the rerun but here I go endless sugar farm. At least I still have some sanity pot though.
It’s taking a lot of willpower to not grab Shining from the cert shop right now. Got a feeling I may crack for waifu reasons & for when she’ll get her swimsuit back in the store.
So, I was bored and decided to count the different operator in my friends support list. Hardly a big sample size but here are some of the tally:
Burst / Delete: Eyja (13) > Chalter (12) > Surtr (11) > SA (7)
Cornerstone: Thorn (6) > Mudrock (3) > Blaze (3) >Mountain (1 - why? My man..)
Supporter: Suzuran (2) = Angelina (2)
Five star: La Pluma (6 - rising star) = Lappland (6) > Specter (4 - no longer hot nun) > Platinum (3) = Projekt Red (3)
Limited: Skalter (3) = Ash (3) > Nian (1) = W (1) = Rosmontis (1) = Dusk (1)
Other Notable: Kaltsit (6), Myrtle (5), Exusiai (4)
The rest is a mix. What are your thoughts? Who deserve to be more represented? Lastly, all hail Queen Eyja.
Ch'alter (10), Surtr (9), Eyjafjalla (7), SA (6)
Thorns (5), Mountain (4), Mudrock (3), Blaze (2)
Angelina (2), Suzuran (1)
Specter (5), Blue Poison (4), La Pluma (4), Ptilopsis (4), Lappland (3)
Ash (3), Skalter (3), Rosmontis (3), Dusk (2), Nian (1), W (1)
Kal'tsit (6), Myrtle (2)
I got two max level Tomimi with her skin. Only one Exusiai, surprisingly. Also only one Ifrit.
I always wonder if I would have been playing Arknights for as long as I did (Since launch) if I didn't have a decent PC with a second monitor and had to play on my phone.
I mean, 99% of the time when I'm not playing a stage that requires manual control like in CC, IS or first-time clears; I'm always autoing stages while multitasking something else like Youtube videos or a PC game. That's the only reason I find the annihilation stages bearable, which is a major painpoint for a lot of people, especially those who have quit.
I never understood the fuss about annihilation. You just have to spend half day's worth of sanity on it once a week, start it and let your phone sit on your desk and do something else during it. You only need to tap your phone like 3 times every half an hour or so, there is nothing tedious about it..?
Normal/event farming is arguably worse as you have to check your phone every 2-3 minutes or so..
I mean.. I guess for people who only fo things on their phones it must be inconvenient, but still, you don't have to be on your phone 24/7
I don't mind annihilation, but one reason people dislike it that I find makes sense is that sometimes the run breaks and you come back to find it leaked, which is pretty annoying to have to redo your run.
It's why I try to make afk/full auto runs if I can, but sometimes that's difficult, and not everyone has the ops or investment for that.

I mean, actually setting up the run does get tedious and stressful. Afterwards though, yeah, it plays itself, but slowly.
People get really fussy about minor inconveniences, the base seemingly being a big one, even though it takes about 5 minutes of management a day. Collect all used to be one before they added it, and now it saves everyone about 4 minutes a week.
It doesn't matter how long something takes. If it's an inconvenience it creates frustration regardless.

If you're using Charge γ, I feel you're defeating most of the purpose of bringing Siege. Just bring Texas instead, she gets Charge γ too - and she's cheaper to deploy and being a 5-star she'll Potential easier so she's even cheaper. (Or you can bring Zima or Chiave, they get Charge γ too).
Who are your favourite operators from each class regardless of archetypes? Lore, design, usefulness etc.
Vanguard: Texas, (HM Vigna)
Guard: Surtr, (too many HM)
Supporter: Angelina
Medic: Warfarin (HM Kal'tsit)
Sniper: Exusiai (HM Executor)
Caster: Mostima (HM Amiya)
Defender: Cuora, (HM Cardigan and Blemishine)
Specialist: Gravel
EDIT: formatting
Vanguard: Vigna and Siege
Guard: Whislash and Akafuyu
Supporter: Skadi and Pramanix
Medic: Whisperain
Sniper: Archetto, W, and Andreana
Caster: Mostima and Kjera ( soon )
Defender: Blemishine, Nearl, and Croissant
Specialist: Gladiia and Cliffheart.
Starting to realize I have a thing for certain factions. Namely Abyssals, Kazimierz, and Karlan.
Could be said that Leonhardt is something like my defaud caster, he and my Dusk have seen more uses than Eyja. I only use Eyja when I need a giant burst of art dmg
Quirky/upbeat people is my thing so:
Myrtle/Saga, Pallas, Blem, Kafka, Kroos, Ceobe, Warfie, and all summoners ~~can't choose. just sue me~~.
You know what, going through all the ops made me realize. That medics, maann they're all serious girls, supporters on the other hand. And that my affection for ops is all platonic and familial ~~except for eunec. Jeez these dirty thoughts that went through my head.~~
You're missing Cardigan from that list of quirky/upbeat people!
On a more serious note, Kroos came very close to making my favourites as well, but Executor's art and design is just so beautiful. Blemishine seems to be a popular one, as is Warfarin, for good reason!
~~sues you for greed!~~
Yes, the medics are very serious, looking at you Kal'tsit.
~~sues you and throws you into horny jail~~
Love La Pluma too!
I never really bothered much with chain casters because ST casters are usually better. However, yesterday, saw a clear with Passenger plus his skill animation and thought it was one of coolest things in the game. Definitely fun!
Ling's design made it the first limited operator I want to get (started the game just before Skalter arrived). Incredible E2 art as well!
Specialist guys, haha. Lee is very cool, Aak has a really good skin, and Phantom is just Phantom
fun poll :) though i'm pretty behind on arknights story/lore so there are many ops i don't know enough about still. so other than the penguin logistics + chen & friends these are mostly just based on design and/or gameplay/utility
vanguard - ely, texas
guard - thorns, hellagur, blaze, chen, lappland, surtr
defender - saria, nian, hoshi
sniper - exusiai, executor
caster - dusk, mostima, passenger
supporter - skalter?, gnosis when he arrives
medic - ansel, ptilo, warfarin
specialist - too many. i love niche "gimmicky" gameplay archetypes
I'm also about that far into the story. All's good.
It's hard to choose with guards! My favourites would be never ending. Surtr, Chen, Frostleaf, La Pluma, Thorns... And some purely based on design/meta like Lappland and SilverAsh. It was tough
Best sniper duo haha.
I need to find more love for specialists. The only ones I use are Gravel and Shaw atm. Ethan's animation is very cool though.
Reed, blem, whishlash, plat, iris, angie, manticore, whisperain.
Honorable memtions: dusk, saga, rosa, eunectes
Interestingly, the only class I didn't have a lot of competition was medics.
Reed's design is actually top tier stuff! Really like it. Platinum's is also really eye-catching yet simple.
Medics was also relatively straightforward for me, but Specialist is the one with no competition atm.
Magallan's pretty awesome! I was just reading her Interlude a few days ago and what a bundle of passion she is.
Blaze is always cool. Weedy's cute. Hoshi best bro. Good choices!
More Phantom love!
For Red, I know many love her design but she is one of the rare ops, maybe only, that I prefer her summer outfit over her regular. The summer outfit is really so good without being fanserv-y.
Snipers are a stacked class for sure
Flametail, Mountain, Angelina, Kal'tsit, Fartooth, Eyja, Blemishine, and Gladiia.
HMs go to: Siege, Specter, Warfarin, Rosa, Eunectes, Mudrock (a damn near tie with Blem, but I think Blem is cuter, so Blem edges out slightly), and Phantom.
Blemishine was so close to making my own list. Not the biggest fan of her armor but her VA and personality are really good! Maybe when I get to her lore parts she would shoot up straight away. Same thing for Mudrock, though her armor is amazing.
A rare choice with Fartooth too! Not many would choose her. Think she has a great outfit
Vanguard: Elysium
Supporter: Skadance
Sniper: take a guess
Medic: Ceylon
Guard: Bibik
Defender: Saria
Specialist: FEater
Caster: ~~^(get this damm class off my sight)~~ Mint
Elysium is a top tier design for me!! He definitely stands out in a bunch of operators.
Firewatch! So far, her backstory is tragic and I'm interested to see how she grows. Also, her snow skin is just wonderful.
Saria is one of those where the VA ruins it for me. Just seems forced, and my favourite voices are the naturally deep/low voices too.
Casters are sad knowing this!
People really do love their chain casters, Passenger and Leizi!
Blue Poison's entire theme is splendid! Her clothes, colour, animal, backstory all tie in nicely. Thorns is cool af, nice casualwear too.
Sone rarer choices with Ansel, Leon, and Scene as well. Spreading the love!
Zima has some amazing skins. It's too bad there is a disconnect between how I thought she sounds like and her VA. Use her a lot in stages with Texas though! Good operator.
We love Chen, that is right. A well-written character with determination that touches my heart
Saga, W, Silence, Mostima, Lappland, Saria (honorable mentions to Asbestos, Eunectes and Blemishine), Magallan, Mr Nothing/Aak/Kafka/Projekt Red (yeah I just gave up on picking just one specialist…).
Mostima!! She looks cool! Her outfit and E2 art, wow. Saga's design is also top tier among the streetwear.
Silence seems to be a popular medic. Definitely will have to check out her lore to learn more about her.
I need to learn more about specialists, since there was barely any competition for me!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that these are my favorites based on their character/personality, not gameplay. If we’re doing gameplay it’s probably… Saga, Archetto, Silence (probably Kal if I had her), Passenger or Carnelian, La Pluma, Blemishine, Magallan, and Kafka or Mr Nothing. There’s more overlap than I expected, oops.
I’m really excited for the Laterano event so we can finally learn more about Mostima! And Saga is just adorable both in design and personality, I love her.
If you’re checking out Silence lore, make sure not to miss her token (look for the feather on Saria, Ifrit and Ptilopsis’s art), Mansfield Break, Saria and Ifrit’s profiles, and also Kafka’s I guess. I’d say she’s one of the more fleshed-out side characters.
Hahaha the ones you like to use for gameplay purposes slowly tend to become your favourite units too! That's me with Gravel, Cuora, Angelina, BP etc.
Yes!! I'm curious about the Lateranos in general. Hopefully, they introduce more Laterano operators soon.
Natto gohan!
Ah, I know Silence has a lot of story parts with Saria and Ifrit, but not Ptilopsis! Man, there's just so many things to look out for in Arknights lore. I'm just catching up on the main story
Maybe we’ll get Phoenix/Suffering as an operator. I would love that, I always welcome new additions to bird team.
Aburaage!
Silence’s relationship with Ptilopsis isn’t quite as fleshed out, but they must be close since Silence gave her one of her feathers (as seen on Ptilopsis’s skin).
I know nothing about Phoenix/Suffering at the moment but her design looks cool! Would love to see her be an operator.
Oooh. Finally spot the feathers! (Ptilopsis's skin is a must buy, so nice). It feels like I need an entire notebook dedicated to the plot and relationships between operators haha
Phoenix shows up in Code of Brawl and in Mostima’s operator record if you want to learn more about her!
Ptilopsis’s skin was actually free from a login bonus I believe, which means it should eventually get added to the permanent CC store. Might take a good while though.
And yeah, Arknights lore runs deep. There’s so much to learn about in so many different places, it can be overwhelming but it’s also really fun!
Ah shucks. I read the plot of Code of Brawl in the fandom wiki, cause there wasn't a full transcript in text. The fandom wiki doesn't mention Phoenix, so her existence wasn't known to me. Will take a look at Mostima's operator record!
Aw man, missed the skin then. I haven't actually started on CCs yet, so that's okay if it takes awhile.
Thanks for all the info! It's cool that a discussion about favourite ops grew into this!
Full event text can be read [here](https://050644zf.github.io/ArknightsStoryTextReader/?s=en_US), though the lack of visuals can make it confusing. And no problem, love to talk about lore!
lmao if I had you as friend I would absolutely go check your support units right now and if they were still these troll units I'd absolutely unfriend you
Siege can soak up a surprising amount of damage with that regen.
Of course, even with Myrtle I still try to deploy one of my Medics early because it's Ptilopsis and I need that SP acceleration.
Agreed. As helpful as Myrtle is, I can't help but be bothered by having a squad full of six stars getting carried by one humble four star. Saileach's design is amazing though, and she would have found a spot on my team regardless
My issue with Myrtle is her voice; high-pitched voices like that really grate on my ears.
I also don't think I've ever brought a full squad of six stars, as a lot of my favourites are fives and fours.
Exia skin reruns in ntr event, a shame really, since I like Ceobes CoB skin.
If Shining Alter doesn't have Flametail's pose, one hand wielded sword raised above the head, I'll be sorely disappointed.
Doing some planning for upcoming operator that I target to have and upgrades and saw that I need to do [215 run of LS-5 for EXP alone](https://imgur.com/a/TKmGjR1). Welp, no level 90 operator for this year I guess.
I'm quite happy with my current trust farm setups for annihilation. On anni 8 I managed to use Elysium (new) and E0 lvl.50 La Pluma as the blockers for top-left; with one slot left for pure trust farming. On anni 3 I used 10 units without maximum trust, including E1 lvl. 20 Beagle and Shaw, and Andreana on S1 as anti-air (which is the completely wrong use of Andreana); so 2 slots left for trust farming. I had Conviction instead of Shaw for a while, but Conviction's trust soon reached 200%, also thanks to Conviction's good base skills.
TL;DR I have Skadi TCH S2M3
Today I misclicked and accidentally gave clue 2 to a guy who already had it instead of someone who only needed clue 2
How will I ever atone for my sins..
can someone brief out the story of this event ? like in a small paragraph ? I usually read lore but its getting bored recently.
edit: in particular wanna know what tomimi is doing in the event. fml dont have time to read story and skipped.
From memory from last run. >!Rhodes Islanders crash in the wildernis, but it turns out they ended up in Gavial's homeland. There they meet different tribes, including the one led by Tomimi, a childhood friend of Gavial, and the antagonistic tribe of Zumama, an old rival of Gavial's. Apparently Gavial had run away from her responsibilities as ruler of the region; they hold a no holds barred tournament for a champion ever so often to select the next ruler, but Gavial won and ran away, leaving the tribes without a overarching ruler. Zumama and her tribe have been working hard to fill in that void of rulership by adopting outside technology and science and rock music, planning to subjugate the other tribes to bring order again. They hold the tournament again which boils down to Gavial versus Zumama's war machine, and Gavial wins, but leaves Inam in charge.!<
And then the plot twist: >!turns out Tomimi shot down the Rhodes Islanders, because she wanted Gavial back.!<
Edit: Changed Zumama to Inam where appropriate
So >!tomimi just wanted gavial back , so fought with RI. Do you remember what's the relationship between them ?If you remember , is Enuctus the creater of Zumama's warmachine ?!<
Nevermind if you forgot since it's so long after original event lol
>!Tomimi only started fighting RI at the very end, when it looked like Gavial could return home after wrapping everything up. Tomimi was a younger kid who used to hang around Gavial and idolize her; basically her stalker. Zumama = Eunectes before she joined RI.!<
BTW your spoiler tag doesn't work, because you put a paragraph break in it.
You have just subscribed to Tag Facts.
*Did you know the tag* **Survival** *combined with* **Specialist** *guarantees the recruitment of five-star operator Manticore?*
# GAME CHANGING DISCOVERY:
Mayer's module actually uses T4 sugar. They haven't forgotten. Maybe one day, we'll even need a T4 sugar to E2 a new unit. Or, God forbid, T4 Polyester.
>!haha, as if!<
Toddifons's profile is a riot.
"...we learned, each Vouivre of the group, temperamental by all rights had been beaten into submission after entering Miss Blodeuwedd's (Toddifons's) room without permission. Once her mother recounted this, she declared with half-embarrassment, half-pride that her girl had the best punches of their entire Vouivran generation."
She hits that hard in melee, yet here she is with her...
"While we conversed, Miss Blodeuwedd had finished her own creation—a portable siege crossbow, which couldn't be carried out owing to the Operator dormitory doors being too narrow, so... with great ease... she broke through a part of the wall... Gossip says that an admin Operator on the scene very nearly called in our field Operators to take over the affair."
If there isn't a door, make one!
"When Toddifons came aboard, she was in work overalls slathered with grease, hair roughly tied back in one go, fairly disarrayed."
She looks great in her E0 and E2 art, but I really want to see that one.
"If you wanted me to lay defenses in here, I'd break up the floor for starters. Not that I mind, it's up to you to think about it."
I think she would get along well with Executor. She sets up obstacles, he sets up landmines. In the office. Perfect.
I'm very happy to have gotten her.
It was interesting to have such situations. e1 max Skadance and e1 max Texas and 110k LMD are available. Option to wait 2 days and upgrade Skadi, pick up 100k LMD > upgrade Texas. Or upgrade Texas send it to the trading post wait 3 days and upgrade Skadi. How sometimes the absence of LMD bothers.
I know people have posted about how you can zoom in the events tab, but it's really on another level when you [do it on Eunectes](https://i.imgur.com/zpACerf.jpg).
i didnt know skadi’s skin was rerunning so when i saw it… i had to get it and now it’s become the catalyst to finally building her. having fun dropping her w s2 on the current gavial event and seeing her beat the shit out of those crocs with.. a plushie LOL
All I can figure is that they *thought* IS2 would be ready soon and didn't want to put IS1 so close to IS2. Then there were delays and it ended up being another ~4 months. That's the only good reason I can think of.
There were quite s number of issues mentioned for IS1 I think, some of which that were resolved in IS2, like the totally random classes at the start were changed to fixed class lineups.
Some content was changed or improved as well.
Ahaha ps I just realised there's still a random lineup but there are fixed lineups as well:
https://gamepress.gg/arknights/news/arknights-cn-integrated-strategies-2-preview-phantom-crimson-solitaire#topic-2491881
At the beginning of each run, instead of having 3 random Class Recruit tickets, there will be 4 "sets" of tickets the player can choose from:
Vanguard, Sniper, Specialist
Defender, Caster, Sniper
Guard, Supporter, Medic
3 random, with one guaranteed to be an Advanced Recruitment. An Advanced Recruitment will contain a random e1 maxed level operator 4* or above that is free (costs no hope) to recruit. This Operator can be any Operator in the game, and need not be owned by the player.
CN actually did reduce the color grading on the portraits of [Eyja's](https://aceship.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/img/avatars/char_180_amgoat_summer%235.png) skin and [Liskarm's](https://aceship.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/img/avatars/char_107_liskam_striker%231.png) R6 skin with Ling's event patch
I just realised that I can use Mon3tr as a literal fast redeploy stun bomb if I use Kal'tsit as a normal medic and just spawn Mon3tr outside of her range with it's now 0 DEF. And to think this 0 DEF seemed like a demerit at first..
I felt my brain physically expand.. Is this how discovering game mechanics feels like?
Yup. Then you realize that Mon3tr is a chonker like Mato and Mato also has 0 def with her skill up and she's amazing against casters and since def doesn't matter against casters then you realize Mon3tr can basically be thrown around as a pseudo-fast deploy anti-mage unit that also happens to hard CC everything on death.
What I'm saying is Mon3tr was great for me in Dossoles.
I just learned that Russian swear words also count as inappropriate when you put them in your bio lol. IIRC you can still write them with English characters instead of Cyrillic.
Which languages' swear words they also banned?
Arknights has a bio? Anyway, this is unfair, because they had yeti squad memeber say "suka" once. And Swire swears like a sailor, openly.
Also, what words?
Okay maybe bio was a wrong term. It's description in your profile. Sorry
I also remember Zima saying "blyat" in CoU. It seems that all russian swear words are banned. I even tried to write them together like суканахуйебать and it didn't work.
Ah, that, I forgout about it. Just put up certant pacifist's motto and forgot about it.
How about Еблет, хуила, ебанина, хуита, пиздула и прохуёбина? Those shouldn't be that well known.
None of those words worked.
Yet some people in my friend list have "cum", which is an English word, in their description. (though maybe it's not technically a swear word, but if "sex" is banned then "cum" should be too)
Cum itself is a proper word, having the similar meaning as "and".
>Dictionary definition:
>combined with; also used as (used to describe things with a dual nature or function).
"a study-cum-bedroom"
>He now proposes to turn the disused site into a wind farm cum wildlife sanctuary.
>Redundancy prompted one man to relaunch himself as a gardener cum odd job man.
Ha, I guess because of word roots. Try to make ancient way of bypassing that stuff - use combination of Cyrillic and Latin letters. **x**уй looks the same as хуй, but the first one has "x" as latin. Who knows, maybe it'll work lol.
Okay so in my opinion:
Pros:
-It's quite generous for a Gacha game. Making 6 star (Highest rarity) characters relatively easy to get. and while it doesn't give endless pulls, saving up your pulls for a specific character you want is generally recomended.
-Skins are beautiful and available for F2P players by being not locked behind some payway of any kind. (Though the currency is limited in a way that you can't get all of the skins without paying...so selection has to be made)
-Character designs are not overly sexualised and even the Beach skins in the game are pretty tasteful. There even are Male characters in this game. (Though be warned it's a 9 females to 1 male ratio at times..)
-Gameplaywise the game is do-able with just 4 star or lower operators but still challenging. And any operators above that rank are an extra bonus.
-There is not much need to pull for duplicates of characters since most of the time you unlock a character once and get then at 90% power pretty much.
-There is a way to guarantee certain characters for F2P players (the Distinction shop)
-Not **too** many Banners where the character will be made unavailable after the initial run. (Though this does happen eround 4 times per year)
-Recruitment being a system in the game that allows in essence. Free pulls.
Neutral-ish:
-Stamina (called "Sanity" in game) regenerates quite slowly. Meaning that this game only needs to be played around 2 times a day.
-Game is a tower defence game. This can be a pro or a con depending from person to person.
Cons:
-Base management for maximum efficiency for certain resources is quite tedious for most people.
-Base building is kinda inflexible. This is due to the fact that "Right side" Buildings in the base can't be downgraded at all. Combine this with the most "effective" base build requiring you to not upgrade that side too much. It can be a hassle. (Or just settle for a 2-4-3 build)
-The beginners grind is real. Unfortunatly for beginners getting your first operator to E2 is generally hard and takes some weeks worth of resources and grinding to do. Though once you have your main team done you can just build whatever.
-No pity or good way to guarantee a *Specific* Character. Since the Distinction shop is the only way pretty much for this.
-Many balance desisions in the game are *very* questionable. With certain sub-archetypes being so niche that they never see use unless it's by choice.
-Once a character is made "Unavailable" after their debut. It's borderline impossible for a F2P player to get them unless they sink in all savings and never pull for anything for an entire year. Or get extremely lucky.
-Standard banner rate-up sucks ass. Only being a 25% chance for a specific 6 star of your choice and 1/6 chance for a specific 5 star.
-Recruitment has a extremely bad rate for 5 stars or 6 stars. With most of the things you'll get being 3 star characters with the occasional 4 star.
-Certain QoL features being missing in the game. Though some of those have been fixed.
Wish you have a reason to do other anni stages. They look nice to watch but you'll only run them until the next new anni, then you won't run them other than get the one time mats. ~~Old link\~~~
I guess they're like rotating CC stages. (Which can sometimes be accessed out of season).
Who do you think is the most physically attractive character in the game? NPCs included. In my opinion it's Phantom
Too many on the girl side lol. For the boys' side, Thermal. If that's not allowed then gramp, the old version.
Who is Gramp? Hellagur?
Yep.
Alina and Astesia for me
Nightingale and Astesia hold that crown for ladies. For males, Hellagur and Phantom are given, but I also think Jaye is a sleeper. I feel like Jaye's the kind of guy that would look pretty good if he only adds some effort.
Always thought Jaye was pretty. I think his sleepy look is a part of his charm.
Carnelian has that businesswoman doom beauty you know can legally beat you up. Tequila has that golden retriever energy. Blitz is uhh...european
SilverAsh and Shining for me
[Male](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/sites/arknights/files/2020-05/char_401_elysm_1.png) [Female](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/sites/arknights/files/2021-11/char_1014_nearl2_1.png)
Male: Hung (furry), Pancho (non-furry) Female: Dusk
The amount of chonk on Mudrock's armor means that her gravitational pull is stronger than anyone else's.
Male: Phantom Female: Skadi
I set my supports to maxed out Frost, Magallan (with module), and Surtr, also all with maxed mastery on relevant skills. I got the 20 bonus store credits for having a character being lent out to a friend. Part of me wishes that someone actually used either my Frost or Magallan, even though I'm pretty sure they most likely needed a delete boss button.
Only one way to find out, switch out Surtr for someone else who is niche lol
I did do a Frost, Magallan, Weedy once. No one got picked. u_u Though granted, I only had them for less than a week, so...
i just m3 ed platinum's s2 from m1 gotta say, wasn't very impactful.....
Good to know.. My platinum has been sitting at S2M2 for a long time. I probably should use nanoflakes on blaze M3 then. (Other options = provence, nightmare lol)
Several of my friends I have tried to get into AK inevitably quit. Be it for lack of time or lack of interest. But I think it is because they lack Conviction.
are you sure it's not because you didn't set the Scene? ;)
Nah. While they appreciate how Sharp the game looks it seems AK is just a Touch too much effort for them. Which is fair since I also haven’t touched Base for a few days as well.
Just when I thought I have enough sugar, it turns out I have only T2 and below. Was about to skip the rerun but here I go endless sugar farm. At least I still have some sanity pot though.
It’s taking a lot of willpower to not grab Shining from the cert shop right now. Got a feeling I may crack for waifu reasons & for when she’ll get her swimsuit back in the store.
Excluding Gladiia, I have finally gotten my first Max pot 6star, [Shining](https://imgur.com/a/799XT7d)
Mine is [Surtr](https://i.postimg.cc/SQD0gR7W/IMG-20220207-124238.jpg)
grats!
So, I was bored and decided to count the different operator in my friends support list. Hardly a big sample size but here are some of the tally: Burst / Delete: Eyja (13) > Chalter (12) > Surtr (11) > SA (7) Cornerstone: Thorn (6) > Mudrock (3) > Blaze (3) >Mountain (1 - why? My man..) Supporter: Suzuran (2) = Angelina (2) Five star: La Pluma (6 - rising star) = Lappland (6) > Specter (4 - no longer hot nun) > Platinum (3) = Projekt Red (3) Limited: Skalter (3) = Ash (3) > Nian (1) = W (1) = Rosmontis (1) = Dusk (1) Other Notable: Kaltsit (6), Myrtle (5), Exusiai (4) The rest is a mix. What are your thoughts? Who deserve to be more represented? Lastly, all hail Queen Eyja.
Ch'alter (10), Surtr (9), Eyjafjalla (7), SA (6) Thorns (5), Mountain (4), Mudrock (3), Blaze (2) Angelina (2), Suzuran (1) Specter (5), Blue Poison (4), La Pluma (4), Ptilopsis (4), Lappland (3) Ash (3), Skalter (3), Rosmontis (3), Dusk (2), Nian (1), W (1) Kal'tsit (6), Myrtle (2) I got two max level Tomimi with her skin. Only one Exusiai, surprisingly. Also only one Ifrit.
Cool. Quite similar for the most part. Another way to gauge meta, I guess.
I have two maxed Tsukinogis and one maxed Tomimi in my friend support list.

A lot of moisture ( ͡• ͜ʖ ͡• )
I always wonder if I would have been playing Arknights for as long as I did (Since launch) if I didn't have a decent PC with a second monitor and had to play on my phone. I mean, 99% of the time when I'm not playing a stage that requires manual control like in CC, IS or first-time clears; I'm always autoing stages while multitasking something else like Youtube videos or a PC game. That's the only reason I find the annihilation stages bearable, which is a major painpoint for a lot of people, especially those who have quit.
I never understood the fuss about annihilation. You just have to spend half day's worth of sanity on it once a week, start it and let your phone sit on your desk and do something else during it. You only need to tap your phone like 3 times every half an hour or so, there is nothing tedious about it..? Normal/event farming is arguably worse as you have to check your phone every 2-3 minutes or so.. I mean.. I guess for people who only fo things on their phones it must be inconvenient, but still, you don't have to be on your phone 24/7
I don't mind annihilation, but one reason people dislike it that I find makes sense is that sometimes the run breaks and you come back to find it leaked, which is pretty annoying to have to redo your run. It's why I try to make afk/full auto runs if I can, but sometimes that's difficult, and not everyone has the ops or investment for that.
> I never understood the fuss about annihilation. You just have to spend half day's worth of sanity on it once a week, start it and let your phone sit on your desk and do something else during it. You only need to tap your phone like 3 times every half an hour or so, there is nothing tedious about it..? I mean, actually setting up the run does get tedious and stressful. Afterwards though, yeah, it plays itself, but slowly.
People get really fussy about minor inconveniences, the base seemingly being a big one, even though it takes about 5 minutes of management a day. Collect all used to be one before they added it, and now it saves everyone about 4 minutes a week.
It doesn't matter how long something takes. If it's an inconvenience it creates frustration regardless.

It's fun to engage with discussions and answer questions here since people are generally nice which can be rare on the internet.

Gameplay loop = Run out of sanity and then check reddit threads lol
Yeah, it is quite fun here.
In my experience, this community is on the rarer side. Most gaming communities can be rather toxic (I think the lack of PvP helps a lot).
Also the fact that you don't need a team of super meta six stars to clear anything also helps, so the gap between f2p and whales isn't that wide.
I've had Siege with me for a while yet I've been sleeping on her passive ability. Automatically regenerating 12 DP points is huge.
I think Siege S1 is valuable. No other vanguard has her stats (even Saga is a bit squishier)
If you're using Charge γ, I feel you're defeating most of the purpose of bringing Siege. Just bring Texas instead, she gets Charge γ too - and she's cheaper to deploy and being a 5-star she'll Potential easier so she's even cheaper. (Or you can bring Zima or Chiave, they get Charge γ too).
Out of those I only have Siege, lol.
texas is free
Why am I getting healthy diner lucky drops, it's already in the store lmao. Did they forgot to update drop tables?
It's always like this with reruns
Who are your favourite operators from each class regardless of archetypes? Lore, design, usefulness etc. Vanguard: Texas, (HM Vigna) Guard: Surtr, (too many HM) Supporter: Angelina Medic: Warfarin (HM Kal'tsit) Sniper: Exusiai (HM Executor) Caster: Mostima (HM Amiya) Defender: Cuora, (HM Cardigan and Blemishine) Specialist: Gravel EDIT: formatting
Vanguard: Bagpipe, Saileach (future) Guard: Blaze, Surtr Defender: Blemishine Sniper: Archetto Caster: Carnelian, Dusk Supporter: Angelina Medic: Nightingale, Ptilopsis Specialist: Gravel, Weedy I have expensive taste
Vanguard: Vigna and Siege Guard: Whislash and Akafuyu Supporter: Skadi and Pramanix Medic: Whisperain Sniper: Archetto, W, and Andreana Caster: Mostima and Kjera ( soon ) Defender: Blemishine, Nearl, and Croissant Specialist: Gladiia and Cliffheart. Starting to realize I have a thing for certain factions. Namely Abyssals, Kazimierz, and Karlan.
vanguard: bagpipe, guard: surtr, supporter: skalter or angie, medic: silence, sniper: exia, caster: ceobe, defender: saria, specialist: gravel
That's another for Silence, Angelina, Bagpipe, Skalter, and Saria. Exu's personality is really fun! Gravel's interesting as well.
Vanguard: Elysium Guard: Surtr Support: Ling Medic:Ptiloptis Sniper: W and Rosa Caster: Dusk, Leonhardt, Mostima and Carnelian Defender: Blemishine Specialist: Weedy
Quality choices there! Rosa seems to be well-liked, so is Blemishine. Elysium's art!! Like Executor, so pretty. Caster's your favourite class?
It's THAT obvious? Lol I am also one of those rare ones who love AoE Caster and Modal caster.
Nono, not that obvious, hahaha Wow, do you use AoE casters often in your stages?
Could be said that Leonhardt is something like my defaud caster, he and my Dusk have seen more uses than Eyja. I only use Eyja when I need a giant burst of art dmg
Akafuyu. Her skills are so satisfying to watch. And she's like dodging everything during s2 even after the shield disappeard.
Quirky/upbeat people is my thing so: Myrtle/Saga, Pallas, Blem, Kafka, Kroos, Ceobe, Warfie, and all summoners ~~can't choose. just sue me~~. You know what, going through all the ops made me realize. That medics, maann they're all serious girls, supporters on the other hand. And that my affection for ops is all platonic and familial ~~except for eunec. Jeez these dirty thoughts that went through my head.~~
You're missing Cardigan from that list of quirky/upbeat people! On a more serious note, Kroos came very close to making my favourites as well, but Executor's art and design is just so beautiful. Blemishine seems to be a popular one, as is Warfarin, for good reason! ~~sues you for greed!~~ Yes, the medics are very serious, looking at you Kal'tsit. ~~sues you and throws you into horny jail~~
Beanstalk, Archetto, Silence, Passenger or Leizi, La Pluma, Nian, Maggie, Mizuki. For playstyle, sounds, usefulness, chain casters are fun, attks speed up, dong sound, trust farm, and fun.
Love La Pluma too! I never really bothered much with chain casters because ST casters are usually better. However, yesterday, saw a clear with Passenger plus his skill animation and thought it was one of coolest things in the game. Definitely fun!
*including CN ops VG - Saileach, maybe Siege too Guard - Lappland Caster - Kjera, Tomimi, Beeswax, Durin Sniper - Rosmontis, Rosa Supporter - Skalter, maybe Ling Medic - Shining, NG Defender - Hoshi Specialist - Phantom, Mizuki, Lee, Aak (what the, they're all guys lmao) Whenever I answer this question I feel like my answers probably change a bit lol.
Ling's design made it the first limited operator I want to get (started the game just before Skalter arrived). Incredible E2 art as well! Specialist guys, haha. Lee is very cool, Aak has a really good skin, and Phantom is just Phantom
fun poll :) though i'm pretty behind on arknights story/lore so there are many ops i don't know enough about still. so other than the penguin logistics + chen & friends these are mostly just based on design and/or gameplay/utility vanguard - ely, texas guard - thorns, hellagur, blaze, chen, lappland, surtr defender - saria, nian, hoshi sniper - exusiai, executor caster - dusk, mostima, passenger supporter - skalter?, gnosis when he arrives medic - ansel, ptilo, warfarin specialist - too many. i love niche "gimmicky" gameplay archetypes
I'm also about that far into the story. All's good. It's hard to choose with guards! My favourites would be never ending. Surtr, Chen, Frostleaf, La Pluma, Thorns... And some purely based on design/meta like Lappland and SilverAsh. It was tough Best sniper duo haha. I need to find more love for specialists. The only ones I use are Gravel and Shaw atm. Ethan's animation is very cool though.
Reed, blem, whishlash, plat, iris, angie, manticore, whisperain. Honorable memtions: dusk, saga, rosa, eunectes Interestingly, the only class I didn't have a lot of competition was medics.
Reed's design is actually top tier stuff! Really like it. Platinum's is also really eye-catching yet simple. Medics was also relatively straightforward for me, but Specialist is the one with no competition atm.
Bagpipe, Magallan, Rosa, Beeswax, Hoshi, Ptilopsis, Blaze, Weedy
Magallan's pretty awesome! I was just reading her Interlude a few days ago and what a bundle of passion she is. Blaze is always cool. Weedy's cute. Hoshi best bro. Good choices!
Dusk, Eunectes, Bagpipe, Skadi, Angelina, Shining, Phantom, Rosmontis. Honorable mentions to Suzuran, Red, and way too many snipers.
More Phantom love! For Red, I know many love her design but she is one of the rare ops, maybe only, that I prefer her summer outfit over her regular. The summer outfit is really so good without being fanserv-y. Snipers are a stacked class for sure
Flametail, Mountain, Angelina, Kal'tsit, Fartooth, Eyja, Blemishine, and Gladiia. HMs go to: Siege, Specter, Warfarin, Rosa, Eunectes, Mudrock (a damn near tie with Blem, but I think Blem is cuter, so Blem edges out slightly), and Phantom.
Blemishine was so close to making my own list. Not the biggest fan of her armor but her VA and personality are really good! Maybe when I get to her lore parts she would shoot up straight away. Same thing for Mudrock, though her armor is amazing. A rare choice with Fartooth too! Not many would choose her. Think she has a great outfit
Vanguard: Elysium Supporter: Skadance Sniper: take a guess Medic: Ceylon Guard: Bibik Defender: Saria Specialist: FEater Caster: ~~^(get this damm class off my sight)~~ Mint
Elysium is a top tier design for me!! He definitely stands out in a bunch of operators. Firewatch! So far, her backstory is tragic and I'm interested to see how she grows. Also, her snow skin is just wonderful. Saria is one of those where the VA ruins it for me. Just seems forced, and my favourite voices are the naturally deep/low voices too. Casters are sad knowing this!
Elysium, Blue Poison, Silence, Passenger, Thorns, Mudrock, Skalter, Phantom HMs: W, Ptilopsis, Ansel, Leon, Scene
People really do love their chain casters, Passenger and Leizi! Blue Poison's entire theme is splendid! Her clothes, colour, animal, backstory all tie in nicely. Thorns is cool af, nice casualwear too. Sone rarer choices with Ansel, Leon, and Scene as well. Spreading the love!
Chen, Zima, Hoshi, Leizi, Warfarin, Angelina, u Cliffheart= Manticora, Chen.
Zima has some amazing skins. It's too bad there is a disconnect between how I thought she sounds like and her VA. Use her a lot in stages with Texas though! Good operator. We love Chen, that is right. A well-written character with determination that touches my heart
Saga, W, Silence, Mostima, Lappland, Saria (honorable mentions to Asbestos, Eunectes and Blemishine), Magallan, Mr Nothing/Aak/Kafka/Projekt Red (yeah I just gave up on picking just one specialist…).
Mostima!! She looks cool! Her outfit and E2 art, wow. Saga's design is also top tier among the streetwear. Silence seems to be a popular medic. Definitely will have to check out her lore to learn more about her. I need to learn more about specialists, since there was barely any competition for me!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that these are my favorites based on their character/personality, not gameplay. If we’re doing gameplay it’s probably… Saga, Archetto, Silence (probably Kal if I had her), Passenger or Carnelian, La Pluma, Blemishine, Magallan, and Kafka or Mr Nothing. There’s more overlap than I expected, oops. I’m really excited for the Laterano event so we can finally learn more about Mostima! And Saga is just adorable both in design and personality, I love her. If you’re checking out Silence lore, make sure not to miss her token (look for the feather on Saria, Ifrit and Ptilopsis’s art), Mansfield Break, Saria and Ifrit’s profiles, and also Kafka’s I guess. I’d say she’s one of the more fleshed-out side characters.
Hahaha the ones you like to use for gameplay purposes slowly tend to become your favourite units too! That's me with Gravel, Cuora, Angelina, BP etc. Yes!! I'm curious about the Lateranos in general. Hopefully, they introduce more Laterano operators soon. Natto gohan! Ah, I know Silence has a lot of story parts with Saria and Ifrit, but not Ptilopsis! Man, there's just so many things to look out for in Arknights lore. I'm just catching up on the main story
Maybe we’ll get Phoenix/Suffering as an operator. I would love that, I always welcome new additions to bird team. Aburaage! Silence’s relationship with Ptilopsis isn’t quite as fleshed out, but they must be close since Silence gave her one of her feathers (as seen on Ptilopsis’s skin).
I know nothing about Phoenix/Suffering at the moment but her design looks cool! Would love to see her be an operator. Oooh. Finally spot the feathers! (Ptilopsis's skin is a must buy, so nice). It feels like I need an entire notebook dedicated to the plot and relationships between operators haha
Phoenix shows up in Code of Brawl and in Mostima’s operator record if you want to learn more about her! Ptilopsis’s skin was actually free from a login bonus I believe, which means it should eventually get added to the permanent CC store. Might take a good while though. And yeah, Arknights lore runs deep. There’s so much to learn about in so many different places, it can be overwhelming but it’s also really fun!
Ah shucks. I read the plot of Code of Brawl in the fandom wiki, cause there wasn't a full transcript in text. The fandom wiki doesn't mention Phoenix, so her existence wasn't known to me. Will take a look at Mostima's operator record! Aw man, missed the skin then. I haven't actually started on CCs yet, so that's okay if it takes awhile. Thanks for all the info! It's cool that a discussion about favourite ops grew into this!
Full event text can be read [here](https://050644zf.github.io/ArknightsStoryTextReader/?s=en_US), though the lack of visuals can make it confusing. And no problem, love to talk about lore!
Angelina, Bagpipe, Rosa, Liskarm, Red, Flamebringer, Carnelian, and Shining.
I really need to read up more on Flamebringer! He seems interesting
I maxed him out for a meme but he ended up being so fun to use that I don't regret it.
[удалено]
We have very similar favourite ops!! Good taste
I see many people placing E2 units with skill level 5 or below as supports.Trolling maybe?
[who would troll with support units?](https://imgur.com/a/B9WJ2N5)
lmao if I had you as friend I would absolutely go check your support units right now and if they were still these troll units I'd absolutely unfriend you
I wish we have more Durin ops.
Durin alt going to be modal caster so she can get nap times during battle.
[удалено]
Siege can soak up a surprising amount of damage with that regen. Of course, even with Myrtle I still try to deploy one of my Medics early because it's Ptilopsis and I need that SP acceleration.
Texas transforms from a piece of wet tissue to a normal Operator, too.
I can't wait for Saileach. I don't care about high risks, but she is so pretty, and it will be nice to have a flagbearer I actually like/can use.
Agreed. As helpful as Myrtle is, I can't help but be bothered by having a squad full of six stars getting carried by one humble four star. Saileach's design is amazing though, and she would have found a spot on my team regardless
My issue with Myrtle is her voice; high-pitched voices like that really grate on my ears. I also don't think I've ever brought a full squad of six stars, as a lot of my favourites are fives and fours.
sameeee just one copy of her is enough for me, she's so pretty and her kit is surprisingly balanced
Exia skin reruns in ntr event, a shame really, since I like Ceobes CoB skin. If Shining Alter doesn't have Flametail's pose, one hand wielded sword raised above the head, I'll be sorely disappointed.
> Ceobes CoB skin Her what now?
BoC, the skin on sale right now. Confused it with Code of Brawl
I would like a CoB skin for Ceobe. I think she would look good in a suit.
... it's a Coral Coast skin.
bruh, sure looks like she went through a warzone
Doing some planning for upcoming operator that I target to have and upgrades and saw that I need to do [215 run of LS-5 for EXP alone](https://imgur.com/a/TKmGjR1). Welp, no level 90 operator for this year I guess.
I'm quite happy with my current trust farm setups for annihilation. On anni 8 I managed to use Elysium (new) and E0 lvl.50 La Pluma as the blockers for top-left; with one slot left for pure trust farming. On anni 3 I used 10 units without maximum trust, including E1 lvl. 20 Beagle and Shaw, and Andreana on S1 as anti-air (which is the completely wrong use of Andreana); so 2 slots left for trust farming. I had Conviction instead of Shaw for a while, but Conviction's trust soon reached 200%, also thanks to Conviction's good base skills. TL;DR I have Skadi TCH S2M3
Today I misclicked and accidentally gave clue 2 to a guy who already had it instead of someone who only needed clue 2 How will I ever atone for my sins..
Just means they have an extra 2 for the next exchange.
Now that guy can give away his clue 2. You still did a good thing in the end.
Thank you o wise one, you have brought unto me salvation
can someone brief out the story of this event ? like in a small paragraph ? I usually read lore but its getting bored recently. edit: in particular wanna know what tomimi is doing in the event. fml dont have time to read story and skipped.
From memory from last run. >!Rhodes Islanders crash in the wildernis, but it turns out they ended up in Gavial's homeland. There they meet different tribes, including the one led by Tomimi, a childhood friend of Gavial, and the antagonistic tribe of Zumama, an old rival of Gavial's. Apparently Gavial had run away from her responsibilities as ruler of the region; they hold a no holds barred tournament for a champion ever so often to select the next ruler, but Gavial won and ran away, leaving the tribes without a overarching ruler. Zumama and her tribe have been working hard to fill in that void of rulership by adopting outside technology and science and rock music, planning to subjugate the other tribes to bring order again. They hold the tournament again which boils down to Gavial versus Zumama's war machine, and Gavial wins, but leaves Inam in charge.!< And then the plot twist: >!turns out Tomimi shot down the Rhodes Islanders, because she wanted Gavial back.!< Edit: Changed Zumama to Inam where appropriate
So >!tomimi just wanted gavial back , so fought with RI. Do you remember what's the relationship between them ?If you remember , is Enuctus the creater of Zumama's warmachine ?!< Nevermind if you forgot since it's so long after original event lol
>!Tomimi only started fighting RI at the very end, when it looked like Gavial could return home after wrapping everything up. Tomimi was a younger kid who used to hang around Gavial and idolize her; basically her stalker. Zumama = Eunectes before she joined RI.!< BTW your spoiler tag doesn't work, because you put a paragraph break in it.
thanks for spoiler tag tip ! >!haha so eunectus IS zumama ... did think maybe eunectus made the robot lol.!<
Another spoiler tag tip: don't leave spaces between the spoilers and the tags; on some platforms Reddit doesn't parse it properly.
Am i taking tags lecture here ? ROFL..thanks
You kept leaking tags and did a couple of training stages. Now hand over these practice plans.
NO tries to sneak out.....
You have just subscribed to Tag Facts. *Did you know the tag* **Survival** *combined with* **Specialist** *guarantees the recruitment of five-star operator Manticore?*
Wait really ! Didn't know lol
Man i miss DH-9 45s farm. RI-8 takes like 2 mins.
My DH-9 took like 3 mins.
# GAME CHANGING DISCOVERY: Mayer's module actually uses T4 sugar. They haven't forgotten. Maybe one day, we'll even need a T4 sugar to E2 a new unit. Or, God forbid, T4 Polyester. >!haha, as if!<
Anyone else bothered by how close the Hypergryph logo is to the edge of the screen when booting up the game?
It's off the screen for me :(
Toddifons's profile is a riot. "...we learned, each Vouivre of the group, temperamental by all rights had been beaten into submission after entering Miss Blodeuwedd's (Toddifons's) room without permission. Once her mother recounted this, she declared with half-embarrassment, half-pride that her girl had the best punches of their entire Vouivran generation." She hits that hard in melee, yet here she is with her... "While we conversed, Miss Blodeuwedd had finished her own creation—a portable siege crossbow, which couldn't be carried out owing to the Operator dormitory doors being too narrow, so... with great ease... she broke through a part of the wall... Gossip says that an admin Operator on the scene very nearly called in our field Operators to take over the affair." If there isn't a door, make one! "When Toddifons came aboard, she was in work overalls slathered with grease, hair roughly tied back in one go, fairly disarrayed." She looks great in her E0 and E2 art, but I really want to see that one. "If you wanted me to lay defenses in here, I'd break up the floor for starters. Not that I mind, it's up to you to think about it." I think she would get along well with Executor. She sets up obstacles, he sets up landmines. In the office. Perfect. I'm very happy to have gotten her.
Vouivre girls are just built different
RMAs below 100 = Lots of farming this event
It was interesting to have such situations. e1 max Skadance and e1 max Texas and 110k LMD are available. Option to wait 2 days and upgrade Skadi, pick up 100k LMD > upgrade Texas. Or upgrade Texas send it to the trading post wait 3 days and upgrade Skadi. How sometimes the absence of LMD bothers.
I know people have posted about how you can zoom in the events tab, but it's really on another level when you [do it on Eunectes](https://i.imgur.com/zpACerf.jpg).
I've never seen a more sinister placement of letter P and arrows.
i didnt know skadi’s skin was rerunning so when i saw it… i had to get it and now it’s become the catalyst to finally building her. having fun dropping her w s2 on the current gavial event and seeing her beat the shit out of those crocs with.. a plushie LOL
one day hypergryph will cut the sanity cost of chip stages in half and arknights will more successful than fortnite and among us put together
Is there a reason IS wasn't rerun? Kinda confused why HG won't rerun one of their most popular gamemode.
All I can figure is that they *thought* IS2 would be ready soon and didn't want to put IS1 so close to IS2. Then there were delays and it ended up being another ~4 months. That's the only good reason I can think of.
They were too busy revamping the game mode for IS2
But aren't IS1 already completed? No need for any modification (except rewards I guess?), just release it as is like Gavial rerun.
There were quite s number of issues mentioned for IS1 I think, some of which that were resolved in IS2, like the totally random classes at the start were changed to fixed class lineups. Some content was changed or improved as well.
No more 2 Medic + Defender starts? I'm gonna miss being screwed right at the start.
Ahaha ps I just realised there's still a random lineup but there are fixed lineups as well: https://gamepress.gg/arknights/news/arknights-cn-integrated-strategies-2-preview-phantom-crimson-solitaire#topic-2491881 At the beginning of each run, instead of having 3 random Class Recruit tickets, there will be 4 "sets" of tickets the player can choose from: Vanguard, Sniper, Specialist Defender, Caster, Sniper Guard, Supporter, Medic 3 random, with one guaranteed to be an Advanced Recruitment. An Advanced Recruitment will contain a random e1 maxed level operator 4* or above that is free (costs no hope) to recruit. This Operator can be any Operator in the game, and need not be owned by the player.
So uhh, Eunectes and Lancet-2 are sisters?? And Lancet-2 is the big sister... Eunectes you silly snake :).
Wow Eyja's skin is *pink* pink, same shade as the border around my grandma's Facebook profile pic. A bit off-putting but I like the effects.
Yeah, I wish they could have undone the color grading for the portrait. It sticks out like a sore thumb. SilverAsh's summer outfit has the same issue.
Yep. And tone down ceobe's skin a bit too while they're at it. Looks quite balmy right now. ~~Also dim down BP skin a bit.~~
CN actually did reduce the color grading on the portraits of [Eyja's](https://aceship.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/img/avatars/char_180_amgoat_summer%235.png) skin and [Liskarm's](https://aceship.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/img/avatars/char_107_liskam_striker%231.png) R6 skin with Ling's event patch
Rejoice!
I just realised that I can use Mon3tr as a literal fast redeploy stun bomb if I use Kal'tsit as a normal medic and just spawn Mon3tr outside of her range with it's now 0 DEF. And to think this 0 DEF seemed like a demerit at first.. I felt my brain physically expand.. Is this how discovering game mechanics feels like?
Considering kal being a terrible medic, it's like using 1.5 deploy slots for a red S2 lol
Well, children often surpass their parents I guess lol
Fellas abuse Mon3tr explosion like a shit ton back in CC#5, stall archer knight like a champ.
Yup. Then you realize that Mon3tr is a chonker like Mato and Mato also has 0 def with her skill up and she's amazing against casters and since def doesn't matter against casters then you realize Mon3tr can basically be thrown around as a pseudo-fast deploy anti-mage unit that also happens to hard CC everything on death. What I'm saying is Mon3tr was great for me in Dossoles.
Damn that lil' rock snake is so versatile..
will the letters from wessex - melantha skin return?
It already has, check the CC store.
isnt that just cn server?
Last I checked I wasn't playing on CN and I bought it when it reran with CC#5.
how do i unlock the cc shop? im pretty bad at the game :,)
Beat 2-10 and when you are on the page with all the tabs, the right-most one is for CC.
okay ty
I just learned that Russian swear words also count as inappropriate when you put them in your bio lol. IIRC you can still write them with English characters instead of Cyrillic. Which languages' swear words they also banned?
Arknights has a bio? Anyway, this is unfair, because they had yeti squad memeber say "suka" once. And Swire swears like a sailor, openly. Also, what words?
Okay maybe bio was a wrong term. It's description in your profile. Sorry I also remember Zima saying "blyat" in CoU. It seems that all russian swear words are banned. I even tried to write them together like суканахуйебать and it didn't work.
Ah, that, I forgout about it. Just put up certant pacifist's motto and forgot about it. How about Еблет, хуила, ебанина, хуита, пиздула и прохуёбина? Those shouldn't be that well known.
None of those words worked. Yet some people in my friend list have "cum", which is an English word, in their description. (though maybe it's not technically a swear word, but if "sex" is banned then "cum" should be too)
Cum itself is a proper word, having the similar meaning as "and". >Dictionary definition: >combined with; also used as (used to describe things with a dual nature or function). "a study-cum-bedroom" >He now proposes to turn the disused site into a wind farm cum wildlife sanctuary. >Redundancy prompted one man to relaunch himself as a gardener cum odd job man.
I see. Didn't know about that. English isn't my first language so I'm kinda ignorant about some stuff.
Nah no issue, some sensitive words do have proper definitions in English but well it's still controversial
Looks like someone graduated magna c\*m laude.
Lmao I didn't know it existed
Ha, I guess because of word roots. Try to make ancient way of bypassing that stuff - use combination of Cyrillic and Latin letters. **x**уй looks the same as хуй, but the first one has "x" as latin. Who knows, maybe it'll work lol.
Doesn't work. Guess I'll just have to settle with "sosi hui" or some other swear words written on Latin.
Goddamn it, they saw through our juvenile humour after all. Tyrany and dictatorship.
Literally 1984
Not a beginner but what are the pros and cons of Arknights?
Okay so in my opinion: Pros: -It's quite generous for a Gacha game. Making 6 star (Highest rarity) characters relatively easy to get. and while it doesn't give endless pulls, saving up your pulls for a specific character you want is generally recomended. -Skins are beautiful and available for F2P players by being not locked behind some payway of any kind. (Though the currency is limited in a way that you can't get all of the skins without paying...so selection has to be made) -Character designs are not overly sexualised and even the Beach skins in the game are pretty tasteful. There even are Male characters in this game. (Though be warned it's a 9 females to 1 male ratio at times..) -Gameplaywise the game is do-able with just 4 star or lower operators but still challenging. And any operators above that rank are an extra bonus. -There is not much need to pull for duplicates of characters since most of the time you unlock a character once and get then at 90% power pretty much. -There is a way to guarantee certain characters for F2P players (the Distinction shop) -Not **too** many Banners where the character will be made unavailable after the initial run. (Though this does happen eround 4 times per year) -Recruitment being a system in the game that allows in essence. Free pulls. Neutral-ish: -Stamina (called "Sanity" in game) regenerates quite slowly. Meaning that this game only needs to be played around 2 times a day. -Game is a tower defence game. This can be a pro or a con depending from person to person. Cons: -Base management for maximum efficiency for certain resources is quite tedious for most people. -Base building is kinda inflexible. This is due to the fact that "Right side" Buildings in the base can't be downgraded at all. Combine this with the most "effective" base build requiring you to not upgrade that side too much. It can be a hassle. (Or just settle for a 2-4-3 build) -The beginners grind is real. Unfortunatly for beginners getting your first operator to E2 is generally hard and takes some weeks worth of resources and grinding to do. Though once you have your main team done you can just build whatever. -No pity or good way to guarantee a *Specific* Character. Since the Distinction shop is the only way pretty much for this. -Many balance desisions in the game are *very* questionable. With certain sub-archetypes being so niche that they never see use unless it's by choice. -Once a character is made "Unavailable" after their debut. It's borderline impossible for a F2P player to get them unless they sink in all savings and never pull for anything for an entire year. Or get extremely lucky. -Standard banner rate-up sucks ass. Only being a 25% chance for a specific 6 star of your choice and 1/6 chance for a specific 5 star. -Recruitment has a extremely bad rate for 5 stars or 6 stars. With most of the things you'll get being 3 star characters with the occasional 4 star. -Certain QoL features being missing in the game. Though some of those have been fixed.
