This map is really rough to do in few operators, it's hard to get the coverage. Sure, Dorothy is alright here as well, but i was looking for other solutions for this particular one. Every attack needs to be planned to check whether you can follow it up with an ability due to bad RNG, or whether it's truly a luck check. This clear has some RNG to it for sure, but i know it isn't that extreme, i almost won many times in practice only to make a technical mistake rather than failing an RNG check.

The T series needed to use a 3 star here, so this is a large improvement due to the inclusion of one-stars, as it also reduces 2 stars used to just 3 operators (from 4), that's 4 1-stars, for a 3- and 2-star operator.

Question , can Meteorite (my wife) solo stages? I was just wondering about that in a while now , understanding that she needs a good positioning for just her slow attack speed and that she is good at lowering defences...

@AKOpTeamA2 Күн бұрын

Meteorite is someone who has been somewhat regularly tried out to clear stages but hasn't been able to achieve a record so far. The problem is that the base body - that is Artilleryman - isn't particularly great at soloing stages. The issue is that their attack speed is very low and their aoe is targeted. This usually results in needing to kill enemies in a single shot in order to not let enemies through. To be exact, though they generally have 2 chances to fire, if you need to 2 hit an enemy and another enemy comes in the meantime, you don't aim at the new one, and that enemy needs to be killed in one hit. It's true that sometimes True AOE is needed, but the biggest problem is that whenever such situations come up, Pinecone is going to steal the stage with more powerful, reliable attacks and a quicker ability, she has lower stars, so she would always take priority. She's not better at everything, but she's better at the statistics that usually matter. Metoerite does have a powerful ability though (even if the defence lowering is not good for soloing enemies), if she wasn't forced to use it on basic enemies, she would have better chances to solo stages.

Alternative name... "Stand Waaaay back", haha. whilst watching this stage to launch today, i noticed i could improve this stage by removing Yato - yep, managed to do it, this made the opening extremely rough as deploying the operators in a different order = except Rangers and Durin possibly - would cause you to lose, but it was just barely possible

To Andrew, who suggested Passenger, I would prefer to show a Passenger video compared to Dorothy - not that i have anything against her, I enjoy using her - but she is very good in solo situations, so it's easy to rack up a lot of clears with her, that being said, for each 6+ star clear I could have used Dorothy for, there is one I couldn't, she has flaws. You might think it's the mines that net her the high win count, but it's moreso her attack type - rapid attack speed with poor armor piercing, she can take out a fair majority of the stage's enemies herself, including air. Whatever is left get destroyed by the mines, it's a good solo synergistic idea. In truth though, half the arknights roster can't be used to solo this stage, because beyond a certain DP threshold, the operators just don't get to the field in time before the first enemy gets through.

When the Enemy squad contains wraiths, I have no choice but to bring enough damage to beat them, even if those damage dealers are in 3 stars, if you think about it, Kroos and Melantha are some of the highest damage dealers I can bring to attack wraiths with, and yet it's close, even needing a Therm Ex explosion to clear them out. But what really takes the highlight here is the numerous 1 star switches in the top right to stop Crownslayer from progressing - at least it's more stoppable than wraiths.

Originally I had a clear where Cardigan would take the first wave of spiders or so, undeploy and redeploy as popukar lost to spiders and Greatswordsman, but it turns out its better to just live with spot in range of a healer. Sometimes the cooler ideas are weaker than the normal ones, it's like that sometimes.

Burst, Reach and Piercing, I could only withhold on the 3 great casters of Arknights so long, and it shouldn't surprise me that reach would be the first to appear. Goldenglow was absolutely incredible during the recent Trials of the navigator, being a major aid on all 4 stages from basic through to spectacular. Perfectly designed to attack threats before they become a problem. Her regular attacks are also pretty good, but just like the other great casters, it's the thing that generally holds her back from being used in every stage. Go figure, when a caster ain't casting, they aren't incredible, but its good enough when you're cycling with someone who can.

I'll go back to notifying subscribers after this video I think, it was a good test. This level was pretty tough, it's annoying to redo as it's fairly mistake prone, as you can't deploy castle late for example. There isn't much RNG other than the cats at some point need to throw explosive barrels at the end. Unfortunately, you can't use Therm-Ex there as you need some followup damage.

I tested several things on this stage - most single operator builds are too slow, and Beanstalk cannot beat the 2 soldiers that try to sneak down the right side, but all the other marksmen work. Kroos also falls a tad short, so we can narrow down the options quickly. Capers the one you might run into by accident, whilst placing the other marksmen - leaving the left lane with a direct unguarded path from entrance to exit - is far less intuitive.

I appologise for not releasing O-PR-B-2 and R-PR-B-2 just yet. I went and reviewed the footage to find it had sound recording issues, which is a shame because R-PR-B-2 is really cool clear in particular (well, at least i think so), perhaps i'll turn back on notify subscribers at that time?, seems like it hasn't changed much positively, but i need to test these things. Anyway, back to the stage. 12F is the highest DPS operator i can bring from 2 stars, and otherwise i'm squeezing every damage pt i can get out of the one-stars to hopefully kill wraiths in time. If i don't bomb the last pair, they always get through as the rest of the operators are too distracted to deal with them (they arent considered closest to the exit high up). Otherwise i need to bring the rest of the operators to deal with all the other times wraiths come out. So this became somewhat straightforward - other than the tricks established in T series, that being, enemies from the left never use the left lane, so blocking higher saves the left.

@AKOpTeamA2 11 күн бұрын

Well, this one is pure brute strength, this is closer to a 3 star core than a 2 star core, but as time passes, i guess we'll see more of this. Melantha is the only operator in 2/3 stars that can deal with Butchers at a reasonable speed - with the next best option being casters, but it's not really fast enough -. So she's getting used in most cases where I see one of them. Popukar is practically 3 star's top DPS, and we have 2 lanes here, and we need some kind of healer, these 3 are somewhat forced here due to the DPS requirement. And thankfully, that's all we need.

I'll be seeing what that's like for approximately 1-2 weeks - After today, because I wanted to at least be able to notify those who do view my video as soon as it's released to know. Regarding the video, Do you need good RNG to pass this level?, not really, the clutch barrel here is followed by 5 other barrels, each of which could have exploded, I could have rescued them with Therm-Ex and get the barrel explosion later, but I reacted too slow. The odds of passing this is actually quite high when played right. And if I had complete control over the Barrel RNG, I dont think i would need therm-ex at all (at that point, yes, you'd need very good RNG).

Mandragora gave me some difficulty too, I used Amiya S3 to beat phase 2 originally, after some very considered placement... then heard from a friend much later that a pillar falling on her in second stage essentially disables her for the most part, and the description doesnt say that at all (though i admit, it's hard to do that in the stage she first appears in.) I guess it's now a bit more obvious as of IS-3, as that had a lot of low alt hovering, but it was a lot of pain at the time.

It is hard to go too hard with one-stars on these missions, as the more one stars you bring, the more you need to heal support, and Lancet can't even heal fast enough to support itself.

When attack speed is accounted for, Lancet heals 110/2.85 = 38hp per second. U Official as a bard heals 122/10 = 12.2 hp per second per target.

I figured since this is Adnachiei's first appearance, i'll put him in the thumbnail.... I suppose I should explain that. Adnachiei has terrible DPS, at least, compared to his counterpart in Kroos. That passive does so much for her. In fact, the gap is so large, that when Adnachiei's using his ability, Kroos still has comparable DPS to him (679 vs 709), add in that Kroos has much better defence penetration and will usually deal more DPS anyway, and it seems like he should never be used. And conventionally that's correct, but here's a case where he does better. He has SLIGHTLY more defence here, which sometimes keeps him alive a bit longer, but more importantly, his consistancy and lineup are better. Kroos will usually waste most of her DPS consistantly on overkill, the lineup just isn't good, so by flipping the script and not using her, i can make less waste.
