Good luck!

Hmm... I suppose at the time I was thinking the technique causes the two gunners and the robot to get broken, so only the lieutenant gets a hit in while clara is buffed by both tingyun and yukong, and the splash damage and a shatter stack from the second choosable buff for PF will kill the cannoneer so in this scenario only one counter gets buffed by yukong’s skill. (Clara and Tingyun with my gear setup eat up the two charges from Yukong, then Yukong’s buff isn’t active while the new enemies that spawned in attack.) Whereas not using the technique lets all the enemies attack, though honestly the splash from enhanced counters could likely lead to a similar scenario when clara’s turn comes up again. (Alternatively maybe don’t even enter the battle by attacking with Clara, and use Yukong or Tingyun, instead) Breaking enemies can be a double-edged sword for Clara in this mode, since you can potentially kill them with the Break, but delaying enemies is not what you want if you use Clara here. In the end choosing the second buff (80% chance to add Shatter to an enemy upon entry) causes this Pure Fiction to be quite chaotic, and using her technique should make things more consistent. I’ve found my scores vary a lot in this mode between runs regardless. You can use her technique without worrying too much.

I don't use any display filters or mods, so I think it may just be my settings? I run max settings on PC, but Bloom is turned off. (High Shadows, V.High Reflections, High Character Quality, V.High Environment Detail, High Special Effects, Bloom OFF, TAA Anti-Aliasing, V.High Light Quality)

Hm, fair enough. Those stage effects are pretty strong, after all

Thanks! :)

fancy meeting u here

I... wish I remember what skin I used for this. I think it's like a mix of very old cookiezi and index skins? My current one (for whatever that's worth) is this one, which is pretty close: bit.ly/2lM1TBP . You may have to rummage through the .osk for the hitsounds.

If you mean how the timing line is straight instead of a curve, go to settings (top-right when you go to the rhythm minigame menu) > interface > Falling Mode: set to Cascade instead of Spread.

No problem! To be honest I think a lot of the UI elements in this game are hard to spot lmao

I'm not sure why we can't save theater waves any more... Last theater we were able to so idk what they borked in 3.0 client. Those high CE units are more a testament to how much I've been willing to spend (money/oaths and time) over the years and how much I "spreadsheet game" for lack of a better term, lol. Thank you, and congrats on your Advanced 8 clear! You're now better than at least 75% of EN I reckon.

Well, my video isn't the most accessible way of doing this. A couple things to make it easier: Use 2B14/AT4/PP-93 if you have them raised, Sniper or Shield Fairy if you don't have Witch. Good luck!

There shouldn't be any more Patrollers if we're following CN's Theater 8 enemy lineup (so far, the enemies are the exact same), though I haven't checked non-stronghold areas. The more concerning nodes will be Advanced 8 and Core 8, yeah. Core 8 has 200k HP hannibals, but Advanced 8 may actually be more annoying which contains a horde of the new Nyto enemies.

Uhhh... well if i remember correctly, if you're doing 2s for the first time you will auto-clear before the start of turn 4. Since if you survive until the beginning of turn 4 instead of rescuing hostages, you will unlock map 3s2. This will also make the only objective on map 2s "survive until turn 4", which you don't want to do for max SF side points because you need to play out turn 4.

Yes, sniper fairy is quite the godsend nowadays! Congrats :)

It's pretty much what happens when you equipment hoard lol, don't worry too much about it. Theater is kinda a meme ranking event, as long as you can clear up to Core 8 you're doing great.

Are you moving the MG horizontally? (position 1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9) If you're moving them diagonally, Judge will retarget to that MG.

i refuse to level dreamer and my bgm has not been touched for like 2 years lmao

Make sure one of your dolls doesn’t hit 50% or more total damage contributed per fight. (use the damage log popout on the right) Use HOCs to steal some damage away, and the leader position of your battle formation to nerf some overperformers.

@@Cuhbrewin i see, thank you. The Alina suppport skill will be helpful for that

5* Fairy, maxed equips, good teambuilding - these 3 things are vital IMO. Teambuilding is the hardest one since it really depends on the enemies (and learning them all takes quite a bit of effort), but the first two are just long grinds.

Yes, otherwise it's more resource-efficient to farm normal infinity stages IMO.

nvm its the fairy evasion it seems

@@SharockoRAZR also flash rounds, otherwise you'll be seeing a bunch of scratch damage

@@Cuhbrewin indeed she has been scratched a lot. How do you get those flash rounds?

​@@SharockoRAZR try crafting them using the shotgun shells IOP special/weekly order (30/150/30/130), or use that same recipe if you're out of weekly orders. gotta get lucky, drop rate of flash rounds is extremely low (<0.5%). also that recipe doesn't yield many other 5* equips so if you need other equipment then you'll have to compromise rates even further

Her head looks way too small in this picture
