-Saw this video on feed -"Oh wow Kyo posting new annihilation guide. Probably live in CN and I will return here in few months" -Login to Arknights -See the stage live -Returns here Thank you as always, Kyo

[@Kathleen1590]

Literally same thing happened to me. I was like oh, do we have a new annihilation stage or is this CN? Log in and there it is XD

[@tanxtr3m3]

I'm convinced this guy lives in an alternate dimension where arknights updates happen exactly 3 hours and 217 seconds earlier

[@kizu4231]

XD don't forget that he have CN account...

[@dreamlight7634]

He can use CN account where it is months earlier or jp where it is like 10 hour earlier. High end is usually done on cn tho

[@erfanthered9801]

He typically records his videos in advance on his CN account.

[@dreamlight7634]

@ I don’t think he does that for low end. That I think is usually JP

[@NazarusGG]

He has the videos on stand by for 6 months and realese them when said content goes live ln global

[@blablabubu-u3c]

bruh, i just logged in to see, if there's new annihilations opened, found this one, checked on youtube, and there's the video. Lucky me, thank you Kyo

[@ijanthesukijan]

Logos s1 is the true carry for this stage

[@CJSurv]

Adding Virtuosa instead of Eyja makes it field of death completely

[@tryarie1970]

I would argue it's Mudrock. you can substitue dps with anything but I doubt any ops can make londinium mortar look like healing lootbox.

[@CJSurv]

@@tryarie1970 I think Monster can work also

[@Hungren1]

@@tryarie1970 I had Hoederer tank it. Naturally needed a healer tho so had Eyjaberry deployed below the drone spawn to heal him and Ulpianus holding the middle lane. He takes it like a champ it only takes around half hp lol. Logos was at the bottom right side casting death on middle lane out of cannon range in case Ulpianus attracted it. As usual Kyo's strat looks more reliable tho. I just decided to camp the enemy spawns lol.

[@tryarie1970]

@@Hungren1 That's my point, for Mudrock the heal is the Londinium air bomb she met along the way.

[@OneHatEllie]

For all y'all who are new enough to not have Shining/have built her, Lumen (free from Stultera Navis side story) skill 3 can replace her in all of the guides that call for her, I use him instead every time with zero issues,

[@newenshuan1618]

I added Ifrit to a position she can reach the tile in front of Mudrock. Since my Mudrock isn't max-leveled, I frequently saw her get obliterated in londinium stages due to the artillery. Ifrit won't die so don't worry I then placed Saria where Noire Corne was (before placing Mudrock of course, otherwise the artillery would hit her instead) and added Honeyberry next to Shining and that's about it. Don't worry about the chain explosion caster, just bring extras like Nearl or Blaze is fine

[@GabrielHenrique-pq5bo]

if you are a penance enjoyer like myself she can 5 billion % work here replacing mudrock if you dont mind checking some times to activate her skill, the cannon cant even do so much as a scratch on her barrier, and by the time the SP draining enemies go for her she has so much barrier that the drain doesnt matter, but with kyo's setup you can spice it up by getting blemishine and normal ch'en to make her get more SP, not needed, but cool

I used Logos s3 and Wisadel s3 alternating between heavy waves. Thanks for the guide!

[@AfricanRebelGen]

Thanks Kyo! Didn't realise that Logos was THAT good. Watching enemies just disappear the minute they get into his blue glow range is AMAZING!

[@desislavvelchev8728]

Huh, guess Logos is kind of good here. I did it first try bruteforcing it with AH, Mudrock, and a Honeyberry. For people doing strats with actual melee laneholders, try bringing Kafka for emergency canon redirection: putting the slugs to sleep means they're no longer increasing the block count of whomever was fighting them, it can save you in a clutch.

[@novusirah5353]

feels weird being this early

[@FireRadical-rx8ib]

as soon as i saw that stage i knew mudrock had to be there

[@eXM8808]

I used Hoshi and Lumen for top right corner

[@FireRadical-rx8ib]

I kept mudrock right in the middle to handle all the enemies on the right used yato alter to deal with the enemies on top right lol

[@huntsmanspider9053]

my boy logos first afk job in annihilation

[@dreamlight7634]

Ulpian S2 with Gladiia is also great to tank canon

[@landerson7348]

That is what I did. Where did you put Gladiia? I put them close to the bottom right facing up and had them troll the enemy with pulling them.

[@dreamlight7634]

@ I used Hladiia and Spalter over defenders snd put them right od Logos

[@Drakulakun]

My party was like this: Texas instead of Courier, Gladiia instead of Noir (and she stays deployed), Ulpianus instead of Mudrock, Virtuosa instead of Eiya and Eiyalter instead of Shining. Plus added Ifrit on the lane close to the red boxes, Skalter below Texas, and I added Spalter and Andreana but not deployed them - just for the Abyss Hunter bonuses. It's not that I needed to change anything (I have all the characters) and everything that I added that is not in the video is absolutely not necessary. But oh my, it's so fucking delicious. Enemies melted like butter. The cannon is like a mosquito bite to Ulpianus. I barely noticed the stage ending. It was beautiful.

[@freeflare6338]

Decided to try this one blind for the first run, and ended up with more or less the same strat. Just with double the ops. But Thorns and Logos in the Middle with Mudrock baiting was pretty much perfect. Nice to see I got this one right, thanks!

[@jamessilva1259]

Thanks Kyo, GOT IT! Mudrock definitely makes all the artillery levels easy! she drinks Manfred's tears, as she blocks his cannons! lol🤣😂

[@omarsyariefnatasubagyo6627]

I don't have Mudrock so I use Penance and put Shu S1 behind her for extra buff and shelter and somehow she managed to stay alive. It's semi-AFK but at least now I can autofarm it.Thanks Kyo!

[@815TypeSirius]

Logos + Ascalon is ridiculous. Like always. Ez first try.

[@bernardong9729]

Thanks, my morning headache went away after seeing this video. 😅😊

[@diademmm]

Kaltsit and Monster can replace Mudrock, just place Kal facing up and place Monster on the Mudrock tile so they're in range. I used e2 Kal lvl 75 s3 (no mastery no module) and just time the skill activation with the canon firing off

[@DeswaraAssan]

Ive been looking forward to this

[@WalrusJoy]

If you want to see Logo destroy even more enemies in 1 hit, Rosmontis also has that buff to a caster when she's deployed. Just have to put Logo and her down before Eyjy.

[@anman1]

Thank you, Lord Kyo

[@hololovesapples8979]

My strat is basically spawnkilling everyone😂. I had Skalter, logos and blaze spawnkill the middle, zuo le handle the top right red box, mudrock, thorns and ejyaberry handle the top-left red box and Ulpipi and Gladia on the bottom left red box. Sufficed to say, the enemy didn't stood a chance

[@Zorgdub]

I left my Noire Corne replacement where it was figuring it couldn't hurt. I was wrong. It lets the casters on top chain onto the rest of the team which ended up killing Logos. Oops!

[@blablabubu-u3c]

Ok, i also wanna add my clear team: My setup was: 1. Support unit Logos (E2, lvl60, skill 1m3, mod.3) Main thing in this clear. 2. Poncirus (E1, lvl70, skill1 lvl7), she's just my best def vanguard. 2. Myrtle (e2, lvl20, m3 skill1). With one vanguard dp-farmer i still had problem with dp regen (bc of much redemploy for arty), so i mixed 2 vanguards to provide dp 3. Silverash (E2, lvl90, s3 m3, mod3) + Lappland (E2, lvl80, s2m3, mod3) to replace Thorns, silverash in place of Thorns, and lappland on top looking at the enemy spawn (one, that above our double blue box) 4. Goldenglow (E2, lvl60, skill2 lvl7, mod1) in place of Eija. 5. Silence (E1, lvl70, s2 lvl7) - can be replaced with perfumer i guess, main point is to heal herself and caster, that can be attacked from bottom. 6. Amiya Medic(!) - she's here mostly for 8%hp passive bonus + one-time help for lappland around 200-300. 7. Honeyberry (E1, lvl50, skill1 lvl7) - whatever elemental heal you have to maintain Amiya and lappland as long as possible 8. Gummy (E2, lvl70, s1m3, mod3) + Horn (E2, lvl60, s2 lvl7, modX1) + Blaze (E2, lvl60, s2m3), + underlow (E2, lvl40, s2 lvl7), main thing here is to have more than 3k hp with amiya bonus (8%hp), or being able to survive more than 1 artillery strike I wrote this, because i didnt have any units in the video (but myrtle) so maybe it will help someone

[@ragnarokl3923]

Thx as always

[@hodwilver3656]

I used Logos the same way Kyo did, and put Ascalon facing right in the spot he put thorns. These 2 alone were able to handle every enemy coming by, only needed to use Ascalon's skill twice (I used S2 because I don't have masteries on her AFK skill yet, but maybe her S1 works too.) Used Ulpianus with Gladiia for the cannon as I don't have Mudrock.

[@adrition3263]

Thank you brother, you're a savior 🙏😘

[@Hungren1]

Already cleared it and decided to look at how you do it as usual lol. Completely forgot about Mudrock so I had Hoederer and Ulpianus tank it lol. It also hit Penance once because of taunt. I had her camp top left enemy spawn.

[@DJRaffa1000]

Annihilation this easy feels weird, Logos to the rescue

[@BlankNoire]

logos kinda broken, s1 extra atk range and infinite duration, delete button just by deploy him.

[@DemonRaticate]

Yeah, Logos makes this a joke since he makes the opposing block manipulation a non factor. I don’t have Logos so it required actual management.

[@stevenjoe6969]

[@nightingale74]

Since I still don't have Mudrock (waiting for her to get into shop again), I'll be using Ulpianus with Gladiia instead. Feels good to have your account have good ops for possible AFK strats hehe

[@BlankNoire]

I replace Mudrock with Ulpianus and Gladiia, Ulpianus stat is incredibly high, he pair with Gladiia, have regeneration for a whole map just amazing. I hope new 6* abyssal hunter with abyssal passive will come soon, Andreana maybe

[@DoctorHam]

That moment when you stop looking at the low-end guides and start looking at the afk guides is a powerful one

[@ifanakrill]

Don't have thorn and Eyja? Don't worry Ascalon s1m3 can replace them. Deploy her at Thorns position facing up Don't have Murdock? Mon3ter can perfectly replace her. You don't even need to activate kal'sit's skill

He can, but you might need gladia for the passive healing (i bring both). And def you need s2 so you can increase the block count, else you can't bait the cannon

It worked for me. Ulpianus E2 lv60 S2M3 but I had to deploy Gladiia with Mod3

[@kuso4ek_xleba]

​@@cloudboy7310 kal'tsit's mon3ter if lvled enough

[@ijanthesukijan]

You can bring multipe healing/defenders and rotate them whenever they died, or you can use ling s3 and combine the summon for the 4 blocks

[@WindowsBunny]

Matterhorn is a good low rarity option. At E2 he has enough HP to survive easily, and his module even raises his block to 4 to ensure cannon baits. You just need a healer for him, and maybe some DPS as well.

[@oturan9728]

saria with module give her over 3k, shu, hoshi, kal etc.

[@BlankNoire]

any defender, but because mudrock can heal herself, and ulpianus can heal from gladiia, and both have damage to holding lane, you need extra healer and dmg dealer. I have another suggestion, bring strong medic and replace logos with medic, only medic with 3 tile ahead, put any defender or 3 block unit in the farthest of medic range, so the nuclear only hit that unit, not the medic. if you have ifrit, she can burn down enemies but need 2 extra blocker in front of blue boxes. and by that, you need someone to hold another blue box, I think Mountain can do it but I am not sure. hope this can help, good luck

[@adamdaniel6915]

So I went in this stage blind and balls deep. Not knowing anything. Safe to say I BARELY cleared this first try.

[@photaipheo1716]

Is there anyone try to put Penance in the middle of the stage?

[@fishoreo]

Penance should work, but there's enemies on top that make reborn creatures to deal necrosis damage. So she might lose her defensive capabilities as the stage goes on.

[@TheTranceTube]

My Mudrock isn't max level and without module so i placed Shu behind her for the passive heal.

you can change a bit, put 2 defender next to logos tile, subtitute logos with any damage dealer, or, if you have ifrit, put her on shining tile. for the top lane, just put any strong guard operator face red box, and heal with wandering magic, because those casters the only threat here. good luck

[@loredracula5405]

Should the logos S1 M3?

[@BlankNoire]

you can bring more operator, if logos not m3 yet, you can bring extra dmg dealer like ambusher operator next to thorns tile, or horn behind logos to help cut enemies hp faster so logos can delete them.

No.even without module she survives.Cannon deals 3k damage.she have 3.6k hp.

​@@thatasianguy1880 mountain HP too low for the nuke >.< you need at least 3500 HP iirc to survive the nuke.

if you have Ulpianus and Gladiia, deploy both, let Gladiia heal and let Ulpi solo the lane. or the classic strat, bring many defender for the rest of squad, put 2 block operator either top right or bot right lane, and bait the nuke with 3 or more block operator in opposite lane

[@Qbiccx]

If you don't have Mudrock, put any good less than 3 block laneholder with sustain in the top (Like Mountain) and cycle some defenders in the bottom in front of the blue gate

[@suryakantakaity6761]

Mountain has low hp plus he only blocks 2.

[@DemonRaticate]

I ended up putting Penance in the middle of the map while Mountain can take the top lane. Then the rest of the squad was tasked with dealing with the others. The cannon only switched targets once and briefly, but if you only use Penance S3 to replenish the shield, she can hold the gifts long enough to cycle cannon. The Elemental on this stage is SP removal, so it doesn’t really hurt Penance. Though I did have Eyjaberry helping with the Elemental damage just in case.

[@Qbiccx]

@@suryakantakaity6761 That's why you cycle defenders on the bottom side. These tank the cannons. Mountain takes care of the mobs on the top side
