Tin Man is 0 cost in the game mode. That is so good, makes him a really nice investment if you want to play a lot of IS5

[@Eclin]

Man they should have made the other IS characters do the same, that’ll exponentially increases their uses.

[@mrf143]

And his talent seems pretty useful because it helps you with is5 mechanics. A pretty good gamemode exclusive talent compared to other gamemode exclusive talents.

Prepare yourself boys, we're going more deep of this lore.

[@okboi5723]

Theresis and theresa double boss 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@Hindshell5438]

There is a chance that they are not an enemy bosses. If you see under those hologram theresis(?), you can see the operator direction mark. Those operator direction marker so far only used by an ally, like the friendly Shieldguard and the last knight. Which mean that those hologram could be allies Perhaps instead of fighting against Theresa and Theresis, we are fighting alongside them. Probably we need to protect them, like how we protect talulah in chapter 8. But i wont be surprised if the direction marker are just HG being HG and reuse stuff.

[@Windfall-pq6dv]

@@Hindshell5438 sadly no, as a CN player I can tell you that you ARE to fight them, because the twin demon kings realize you are a invader in their homeland, you are not recorded in Civilight Eterna (because you are not from their universe). So they are fighting you to protect their people.

[@Windfall-pq6dv]

And about the lore of this ending, in this what-if universe, the twin crowned each other, instead of Theresis crowned Theresa. And the twin demon kings found and led the Babel together, and eventually achieved the great reconciliation between sarkaz and other species in terra.

[@Hindshell5438]

​@@Windfall-pq6dvthis entire IS is a direct continuation of 'a kazdelian rescue' event. We are in Nymph Pov. This entire Integrated strategies are just the Revenants trying to show Nymph and co, the kazdel past. It would be weird if the Revenants put Nymph in the invader view wouldn't it? And why would the Revenants know about things on the invader side. But then again, it is IS, the only actual story cutscene are the beginning and ending.

[@Windfall-pq6dv]

@@Hindshell5438 Well, in IS4's 4th ending we player need to fight the lion and the nightmare, but in the lore the whole squad can do nothing but try to stand on ground. So I guess the IS boss fights in gameplay are not 100% lore acuurate themselves.

[@BlackBaron1945]

25:19 wtf is all that chaos

[@tanphamnhat969]

28:00 Whatsup bozo Edit: I can summarize several mechanics in this IS season -Retain the upgrade effects locked at difficulty -Retain the curses from IS#4 with different ways to be afflicted and cure from it, and there are now 3 levels of them now -Runes which can be used in various ways such as changing nodes, go to the alternative route, etc, each has a weight mechanic where you choose OPs to expand your rune inventory. If too heavy, you have to remove those runes or you get reduce Deploy slot (I theorize) or unable to continue forward -Shops can now contain runes and allow you to sell them -Nodes that allow you to merge certain runes to various rewards, like collectibles, hopes and shields -Special stage with special encounter represented by paper work images: Pit you to use 1 or 2 OP in your squad vs 1 or 2 enemies with the rightmost being most difficult enemies which include bosses but the harder stage you pass, the more reward you gain. Can reset only once for different enemies (as you can see in the stage that I was in here , also Virtoursa and Executor got Sarkaz-ed) -New bonus enemy: The Zalak who is unblockable and have the shield mechanic from Monster Hunter Event where it takes reduced dmg from attacks in front of them -Also notice a new enemies from that Zalak stage where it consume an OP on the map when defeated (I think it can do more) -Wish fulfilled have you choose one out of three collectible to take -Afterlife floor: When you died you may get to that floor. Contain a safe zone nodes, a shop nodes, one out of two battles to fight and an encounter node. After you finish it, you go back to the node where you died -I can see that the Theresis and theresa double boss is the ending 2 bosses and the prophecy node from floor 2 is probably the key to enter it

[@vanzeralltheway8638]

That's a lot to take in.. Okay, so now we can also sell things (can we sell cursed items? nice) The IS4 curses system is good, but if it works the same but with 3 degree per curses, it will potentially f your run if you got 3° DP reduction and the random cleanse never remove them. I wonder if there is also the equivalent of eternal-hunting squad from IS3. The 2 vs 2 duel node will encourage a self sufficient, powerful unit (and against a boss??). Gee, i wonder if there are any operator with such high firepower. So with the runes getting a weight system, we cant hoard it like fordartals. Meaning if RNG doesn't like you, getting a powerful rune combo will be much harder. Man... its gotta be a pain to wait until global gets it...

[@darkomega6597]

ending 1 probably kal'tsit right? anyway, is it normal to get that many collectibles in a run? seems way too many lol (probably for newbie-friendly)

[@vanzeralltheway8638]

So not only the guaranteed E2 starter class is back, the cost for lower rarity also got reduced?? Man, they tried really hard to force doktah to vary their IS choice, huh? I mean, Wisadel would still be the top pick 100%, but that's a good effort.

[@januszpolak254]

tbh 5* should be 1 imo. Now there is no reason to go for them over 4* unlike past IS.

Why virtuosa and exealter in there?

Maybe it's just further confirmation that sankta are "fallen" sarkaz. Not to mention both have wings and halo already begin to change

[@Hiyachi]

The text description reads: "Tin Man has collected some anecdote thoughts and reorganized them into a new stories. Do you want to experience it?"For Sarkaz, Sankta is also a terrifying existence. It may also emphasize they have the same origin, or HG is setting a foreshadowing again.
