HE-8 + Medal | Stable Low End Squad |【Arknights】

[@zeph769]

I love how immersive these event stages are to the story. They really make you want to kill yourself, just like Clement

[@sirmelnet2143]

This one hit different when it's your name 🥲

[@thirdhand4780]

my fucking sides lmao

[@frds_skce]

Nah, not killing myself. More like want to kill Clement

[@user-of9hu5if5d]

ahahahahaha true stuff.

[@darkunykorn404]

lmao, so right

[@menekenkack]

This event has probably the worst mechanics in quite some time: -Escort NPCs who clearly don't care a whole lot about their lives -Clunky DP spam towers to calm them down (they are still trying to run into a hole) -Mobs trying to eat more of your DP -NPC boulder-bowling -max DP cap because everyone loved that in c12 and then the boss stage adds global debuffs and RNG enemy spawns.

[@duskoirre]

It really does. I truly wonder what the hell they were thinking with this

[@lordlyzima]

lol, the civilians are suicidal

[@Keidon1337]

@@duskoirre It's because of the hole they dug themselves into concerning units like Surtr and Ch'alter. The only type of boss who stands any sort of chance would have to be so ridiculously tanky that it'd have to basically be invincible, and these mechanics are the only way you can't just brute force it. Imagine making ops so OP that you have to design all future content around it.

[@energybeats6051]

this is so true and I even want to add something to the list those rocks... I was trying to get the medal after some retries and when I finally beat the stage with the NPCs alive somehow one of those wood thingy breaks at the last millisecond (and that is just a theory cause it doesn't even look like it broke so I'm still confused as to how I didn't get the badge) basically there was defender in front of one of the rocks and I also thought maybe the block debuff made it so the rock could get past the defender and break the wood but it's only a -2 block debuff so it still doesn't make sense so I ended up wasting all my sanity and hopefully in a few hours when I retry I get the badge. I even asked for help in the official discord server and no one was really able to tell why was it happening so if it doesn't get fixed I will record everything and upload it to show it as proof that I'm not lying

[@chester3449]

I agree. This erratic suicidal NPC's are ona of the worst thing. And DP limit is just chapter 12 all again

[@xtranathor8143]

What's most interesting to me is learning that you explain it whilst playing, rather than recording the audio later!

[@ferrishthefish]

5:50 The timing is much easier if you reverse the order. Deploy the extra unit early (I used Courier) directly south of the hole before the rats get there. Then you just time Spot as soon as you see the rats leak past, so he is guaranteed safe from the debuff. Instead of deploying Spot first and the extra unit second.

[@KyoStinV]

yeah, basically using someone to block first, then after debuff use another 2+ block to block. that's what i wanted to say xd

[@kiw3nt]

To note if you have any sort of slow-field that the gardener walks through it will mess up these strategies, it changes where he stops

[@yunkailmonz1692]

ah yes i see another person who used ines in place of the "single-block vanguard" lmao

[@starryyknight]

@@yunkailmonz1692 was wondering why the civillians kept stopping on the impossible to block tile left of the one they stop at 6:26 and kept getting pounded by boulders...

[@ВадимРахленко]

My man is just a tin and not a level. there's so much to put in your head - all the timings, all the arrangements, and that's not counting the fact that the operatives can let you down - those 2 powerful guys with arts damage are just something. I express my great respect to you kuo for your excellent work

[@haoteoh4469]

"Call civilian to walk into holes" Yep, evilest boss here.

[@frds_skce]

When Dokutah willing to repeat level after 1 civilian fell down the hole, Clement will gladly kill 4 civvies cuz he's "oh i'm so sad"

[@Spudtron98]

So he can make four people kill themselves and that's fine, but one idiot dies later and suddenly that's _my_ problem...

[@danangprasetyo23]

7:05 you're not alone bruh 😂

[@yahyamubarok5]

he's only once and we're repeatedly maybe 10 repeat more 😂

[@Cakemagic1]

I cleared this stage pretty easily, but then I saw you had a frigging medal that requires all the holes to be repaired, wow.

[@tempota7792]

Stall the last 1 or 2 enemies, cover the holes at the last second, block the 3 top boulders if you even need to. Honestly a really easy medal, if a bit obtrusive.

[@dindapriska]

Trapmaster mvp

[@paperIrori]

@@tempota7792 Last enemy deployed is the bottom archer, not the top art swordsman, so you can just kill the archer with whatever if you dps well the top lane (i used Jaye plus Meteorite S2), no need to keep the Puller hole open

[@anman1_]

Thanks Kyo for the explanation of the mechanic. It helped a lot to understand it and see when he does the block count debuff. In the end I placed my medic defender at approx. 21 killed enemies a little bit higher to defend civilians a little bit earlier because they had little bit different positioning and died otherwise. Merry Christmas to Kyo and Community

[@MasterOfBepis]

i think this is the first mission i've done where i did the entire thing start to finish on 1x speed jeeeeeez

[@neovagras980]

7:05 that silence when they die kills me

[@andrewbarone6575]

I keep Myrtle at OG spot for 6:03 placement just before the debuff. It helps hold the fast dude so the timing for the 2/3 block feels less stressful right as the debuff is cast Probably negligible for preventing leak and may affect topside timing slightly, but should not hurt

[@cristofercarrera9382]

I LOVED the sudden silence after hearing the life points alarm, makes me remember that even KioStin is human, you are great professor 😂😂

[@jettisonius]

thank you so much for this guide!!!

[@justynlee8485]

Everything goes well until you hear a civilian death and then disappointment fills the air… I can’t agree with you more…

[@SamTab-rs1iq]

Thanks for you guides kyokyo, sadly i have stopped playing arknights it's been 2 weeks now the game it's fun overall but i feel bored sometimes. I started playing it after seeing your guides and i love this game a lot but maybe i feel like i should take a break from arknights . I hope you doing good kyokyo. Thanks again!

[@alliancecrusader]

yeah man it’s not good for your health if you play too much personally I don’t think Arknights is very productive thing to do all day (managing base, farming missions, avoiding sanity overflow, sending clues, etc)

[@vert2552]

this event, this stage was honestly very first time in Arknights since game released i was so close to saying "fuck this game, it's not worth it". I really hate how annoying everything is, how randomly enemies spawn, how fck boulders spawn non stop and have even splash damage, how even normal enemies damage civilians from range, all the debuffs, you have to have eyes everywhere because something random will at any moment drop your HP down and you have to restart the stage. If this is HE-8, i have doubts i will actually care enough to first time have uncleared event

[@aomine6817]

there is a lot to pay attention to but overall it's easier than the 2 previous stages, at least no need to worry about statues

[@Scendscale]

this event is ruing my Christmas spirit lol

[@Lss40]

So what exactly do I need to do for the medal? The wording on the medal description is quite vague. I assumed I need to repair each of the 10 holes once, but then had no idea how to break the one in middle left. So I guess I am completely wrong? Edit: Looks like you just need to have all the holes repaired at the end of the level

[@lamchan-8859]

This is the first time I clear boss stage without watching your guide. 🎉

[@mrrp405]

i genuinely quite enjoyed the boss, was very different from the usual meta dps stuff. also enjoyed lobotomy corp which felt similar haha

[@tempota7792]

Same here. It's not as gut bustingly hilarious as Midget Splattering in Ideal City or Gravity Free Bullying in Line Trail, but it's definitely refreshing and novel. Plus the amount of salt coming out of the community that can feed the entire human race is just delicious.

[@GreatgoatonFire]

Once again you saved my bacon. This was a really stressful mission for sure.

[@kentoscocos5238]

thanks kyostinv! also thanks to my friend texas alter (i want it too 😭😭) i managed to save it. thanks to my wrong guess ,where i thought the civilian would go through the hole below rope and i put the plank there, i almost failed the stage hahaha now i can have the floor tile and complete the theme decoration😂😭

[@Sunrise-f5l]

I fucking love rng stages! I fucking love when i cant use autodeploy! Thx god i at least dont have to farm this stage much

[@alifakbar4232]

??? My auto works just fine lmaoo

[@dindapriska]

My auto is stable too (granted I only did like a stamina refresh worth of tries to test it since I'm not going to farm here). As long as you don't do things that can cause the auto to be confused like frame perfect deploy/kill and have no frame drop, it should be stable.

[@ic4192]

The auto deploy gets messed up if the boss walks through any of your slow fields. It can cause civilians to stop at areas that are unblockable and then they eat boulders until they die​@@alifakbar4232

[@tempota7792]

Only RNG things are slowing the boss so the entire timing is out of sync, or not blocking the bottom randomly summoned enemy. You already need to block the top boulders anyway, so plop another self healing DMG dealer in the bottom lane and it's super GG.

[@Sunrise-f5l]

@@alifakbar4232 i couldn't auto the stage untill i watched a guide, i rely on fast redeploys most of the time and on this stage even 0,1 seconds late fast redeploy during auto can fuck up everything. Should have phrased myself better, i guess

[@tempota7792]

Dont you have to make sure all the holes are covered when the stage ends to get the medal? Or do all holes only need to be repaired once? Bc Kyo left a lot of them wide open without warning about them at all.

[@dindapriska]

You need to cover all the holes, I think

[@tempota7792]

​@@dindapriskayeah, that's what I had to redo. All holes were covered B4 I got my medal.

[@KyoStinV]

yeah, i said that at then end, for ppl who want's the medal just cover all holes

[@renzi2065]

at 7:05 I seriously thought u let them fall while thinking, "maybe he somehow solved the problem so it's fine now to let them fall" LOL

[@cheesyminer]

After throwing myself against a brick wall for a while, I finally decided "H*ck this level and H*ck whoever designed it! I'm going to Kyostin!" I hate this level so much. It's artificially difficult for absolutely no reason. The breaking point was when I, in my opinion, was doing everything right only for the civilians to somehow send up dead anyway through no fault of my own.

[@steubing1]

Worst Event they have ever done. I thought Chapter 12 was already the worst but this tops it.b Words cant even begin to describe how much i absolutly hate those braindead npcs

[@myke9186]

Spy Civilians look like merciful angels compared to these suicidal civilians.

I wish I can fight Arturia in this stage so that I can kill the beach. I've never thought that I would hate an Arknights operator more than W. Even W is comparably sane than Arturia. W will commit crimes because it's necessary for her goals. Arturia on the other hand will drive people to their deaths for her twisted entertainment. I can never forgive her! She doesn't deserve any sort of redemption. I'm glad that she's one of the worst operator gameplay-wise in CN.

I love playing w balls. S-5 was particularly good, bc those balls are as much of a detriment to the enemies as us, and without gravity, everything can be ping-ponged to hell and back. Anything that involves more than just fighting is a pretty good mechanic imo.
