[@mangatom192]

What's the difference between the chernobog and lungmen 400 kills? More rewards?

[@Psych0Sh00ter]

@@mangatom192 Basically, yeah. Lungmen is harder, but gives 325 orundum for 400 kills (compared to 255 for Chernobog). Lungmen also increases the cap on how many orundum you can earn in a week the first time you reach certain kill amounts, I think it goes up to 400 extra orundum at 400 kills.

[@wijaya9884]

Thanks, had waiting this guide for so long... I would suggest u do this on ur coming video: 1. How to use that recruiting tool, somehow i 80% know abt how to use 2. Certificate store: what you recommend to exchange operator in your opinion and the list that the operator will be available... I heard u cant get Silence (very long2 time they add to store later), Exuidia (6*sniper, forgot how to spell) and 6* caster that alfafyia or whatever. Correct me if i am wrong, juz saw info here and there Juz abit suggestion, n hope to wait ur coming videos, thanks

I use your guide to finish Cherobog, it got me a lot of exp and money. I use that to promote a lot of my character, and it really screwed my supply mission auto...lesson learn...

[@dracoknight9066]

Rule of thumb is to always redo auto deploy if one of your characters died in it(or at least to try to retire them right before they die), because at some point they won't die and will screw all timings/costs/unit limits.

@@Just3c thanks alot, and here i was anxiously thinking how to farm it all at work :D

[@uberreaper7384]

I was thinking among the lines of SilverAsh, Exusiai or Eyjafjalla. Already have SilverAsh from rerolls so I'm torn between choosing one of the two, though i am leaning more towards Eyjafjalla since the power gap between her and all caster are massive and there are still others who can do Exusiai's job. For a first time gold ticket purchase, any of the two to recommend?

[@doremonhg]

Either of them will get the job done so don't sweat about it too much. It's not about what 6* you get but how rounded your squad is/how much synergy between your squad member. Eyja won't carry you if you can't hold the line, and neither is exu. They're both top tier operator atm so just pick whatever looks nice to you

[@thanhhoapham7792]

[@lejit6541]

I hope someone could answer this question :) Is it okay to spend originate prime on Furniture set (Zen Garden) if you are f2p person??

[@Sabuu2010]

Also, are all the operators good in a sense or are there some that I should avoid ever using and leveling up?

[@evergreencapsule466]

hi just3c. Ive watched your videos in the past when you were doing honkai stuff. kinda getting tired of honkai due to powercreeping I started playing arknights recently and am having a lot of fun as a fan of tower defense games. Is this guide still viable or has arknights differentnow?

[@starryskyhighway9628]

How difference the progression length between f2p and pay? Is it not much difference in early game..or spend early affects it..since it is gacha game

[@lagrange777able]

wtf finally a video not by tectone

[@weiantan5098]

This game is a serious tough game

[@Eclin]

Is it a good idea to spend some Originiums on sanity? Of course, assuming i’ll be F2P and not buying skins, etc

[@curiouslymirroring]

Yeah the only other thing you'd use it for if you're not buying skins are the pro enhancement packs in the shop and gacha currency. And you should know that converting it to gacha currency isnt the best idea because of how many you get for free

[@A_B_1917]

I wouldn't. Especially since we are getting double banner soon, I'd save Originium Prime just in case you can't earn enough Originium to 10-roll on both before they end (since every 10 pull guarantees a 5-star).

[@Eclin]

kugrond i’ve been hearing from multiple people that constantly making orondum from originium is not a very good idea, and your main source of orondum is from annihilations and missions. Furthermore, as an F2P, i think doing 1 multi pulls per banners are enough, since having 6* are not a priority now(plus 5* are guarantee). The level pack should gets you enough orondum to summon on these banners, then you can save it for the next one. Of course i did say i’ll only use some of them, i don’t think 1/day will do any harm, since you don’t really have to use them at anything. Progressing further faster also gives you a lot of things to improve your base. I did some research abit because i was bored.

[@A_B_1917]

@@Eclin Oh yeah, it is the last resort. But the two ten pulls will cost 12000 Originium, which is quite a hefty sum. Not sure if I'll be able to get enough of it by the time they end, so I think it's better to save up on Prime just in case.

[@Eclin]

kugrond though i wonder if headhunting permits(both the single and 10x permits) counts toward the first 10x summon for guarantee. It would significantly help. At this rate, we could get around 2800 orondum/week. And i’ll make sure to buy each leveling packs instead of directly transferring it to orondum.

[@dracoknight9066]

The real question is: Am I still early game player if I'm doing chapter 4 and got CMs cleared up to Chapter 2-5 :thinking:

[@Just3c]

Everything in the game right now is considered early game. I beat the entire game in 4 days.

[@mashiina367]

Is it worth buying 5* Operators for 45 Certificates like Texas as a F2P or should you generally wait until you can buy a 6*?

[@backpackpepelon3867]

Still waiting for this game to be available in google play.
