This was probably the hardest stage I've done so far in my Arknights career and seeing people say its new player friendly really says something about the smoothness of my brain.

I genuinely have no idea what was going on in this fight and lost the first time because all my ops got perma stunned. When I won everyone was stunned again except for one character and I had to just hope and pray- and I nearly had a heart attack when she looked like she had a phase 3 and that one op got stunned as well "I might as well see what happens" "what do you mean I won???"

I should really start reading. This stage is hard when you don't understand.

A very nice clear. Thank you for also explaining everything.

peakest thumbnail Theresa truly is the nicest person in the whole setting not only letting new players skip straight to her chapter, but also not making anything at all happen in her own stage HG shoulda done something similar to how they did steam knight have this stage be the "actual" boss stage and then an additional optional one that unlocks after it where Theresa gives us a proper test maybe have that extra stage be added after the event period ends to make it clear that's not part of the new player bit xd

Hellagud clear

The thumbnail has never thumbnailed this hard

Me who spent an hour on this boss because I didn't understand the stage mechanics despite being a 2 year player with a full E2 Squad 🙃 (in my defense I swear the info section didn't explain the orbs giving Theresa damage reduction)

try "real men train" on her

That thumbnail is goated

Hellagur's chin activated s3 🔥

W thumbnail lol

Passenger wasn't released in 2020. Title is misleading, video unwatchable.

Kino thumbnail and clear. Also any sense in making a clear where you defeat all 91 enemies with birbs?

Neat thumbnail

Even AFKnights trampled this boss fairly quickly, although I did lose my first run because I didn't know what her gimmick was and also set up too far back so my squad all got trapped before they killed the second phase. The I just did it again but set every like 1 tile further forward and also swapped to ifrit because I realize the middle lane is just asking for it and cleared with 0 difficulty lol.

Nice thumbnail! Not gonna lie being able to actually read what she does makes the fight actually quite easy So I needed just few tries to kill her unlike on CN where she genuienly traumatized me

Best thumbnail ever made👌

Magallan's end stage dialogue finally makes sense

"it's very clearly meant for new players to beat" meanwhile my ass throwing everything i have and struggling for days to win because everyone is getting perma-locked en-masse...

I'm see a Hellgur I upvote. But honeslty, props to you (and other masters) for beating this stage with limited numbers of Operators, while I threw everything I had at Theresa to win.

I was so upset that her ability can be just ignored. I waa really scared at first, I didn't know what to do, then tried to retreat my op and... that's all, stage is basically over. Idk, they could nerf it somehow because it's actually very strong mechanic and can scare shit out of new players, but force to interact with it at least somehow. This is just sad.

Hellagur honest reactor

One of the thumbnails of all time!

HellaGOOD too Strong

lmao i did not know that about the cocoons...

The thumbnail is by... myself! I've gotten back into drawing pretty recently, for those who haven't seen any of the community posts about it. This clear obviously isn't cool enough technically to merit a fancy thumb, but I was experimenting with some ways to integrate some doodles into thumbs and accidentally found a composition that looked similar to the hand on shoulder meme guy... so I figured I'd just redraw the entire thing myself. It's a chapter boss anyways- might as well give Theresa a little thumbnail respect.

that certainly is a thumbnail

great post pengod 👍
