I beat Arknight's hardest challenge… but EN can’t read

Deathless SSS is achieved by clearing all 8 floors of Stationary Security Service (game mode) IN ONE RUN without failing & restarting any floor; if you succeed, you are rewarded a secret medal in-game. Can Vifer beat this mode using brute force and EN brain?

[@MixedChaoz]

Nice run Vifer! Good Game indeed! 👏

[@Ricelord565]

IS2 isn't nearly as repetitive as SSS and the rewards are better... the module stuff can be obtained through event shops as well. SSS also feels geared toward end game cause of the whole module mechanic and asides from a few operators mods don't make a huge difference. In IS2 there are so many different operators that can shine and showcase through the artifacts but in SSS if you don't run buffing goldenglow or just funneling the same 2-3 damage dealers you can't progress. Only four ops can be deployed, certain class buffs are never used and useless, the further you progress the more ops you get but its not even a good thing because your deck will get filled with garbage are also things I don't like about the mode. Tbf I have grinded IS2 to 120+ and I have only played SSS once(still got mods for all the six stars on my main squad with most max level mods) so SSS enjoyers can prove me wrong.

[@VRafe]

the main problem I have with SSS is that it REQUIRES you to have at least some overpowered units, like GG, Passenger or Gnosis, or you will not get far while you can beat IS2 with just 3*, if you have enough skill and practice

[@bluedemon4105]

The on thing i despise about sss is rng in battle you have rng on is2 but its only outside the battles. in sss you have to hope the op you start with is good and the ones that you will get is actually the one you need.

[@caster269]

Perfect run SSS has been done by a large variety of niche comps, including 4* and 5* only. The difference in difficulty by having strong ops is exponentially more noticeable than IS, but it’s far from impossible without meta units. RNG potentially being the sole cause of losses even with perfect play is probably the more widespread problem. Future updates to the mode do make it easier though.

[@Daniel-jz9td]

SSS is more of a dps check than strategy oriented gameplay. Well I might be wrong with dps being the only start but I think it surely is the meta.

[@eternalinsignia]

@@VRafe nah. In my SSS gameplay, I only need Suzuran S2 as my core + 3-5 sniper buff on her. Sure she is not the one which do the killing, but she works well with other operator (due to slow and fragile). My start point basically supporter 4, defender 2, caster 1, vanguard 2, rest is sniper. Along the run, priority to get more sniper, supporter, and caster with occasionally vanguard/guard/defender + at least 1 any healer. With lot of supporter = I get Suzuran early thus no matter the RNG, Suzuran will be deployed even before half of first checkpoint (the one which you get bunch of roll token).

[@newguya1873]

5:43 to answer the question In IS2 every run feels different due to the artifacts, while in SSS it's extremely repetitive and not to mention the enemies scale way too hard to the point where mob enemies can just one shot your operators where medics are quite useless because their heal can't catch up to the damage. it's also quite RNG reliant on the later stages because if you didn't get that one operator you need it can ruin the run. So it's a constant race of buffing your operators to kill the enemies before they touch you but it's hard to do it consistently because of the RNG. At this point the only interesting thing in SSS are the mini boss, especially that goofy wraith.

[@MithrilSludge6541]

SSS is waaaaaaay easier if you just bring 1 defender + 1 good slow supporter + 1 main ranged/ground DPS, 3+ stacks are more than good enuf. Most importantly, if you fail cuz stage RNG, just try again. IS2 you can run into a spider stage without ever getting a vanguard/guard/spec recruit lol, imagine the whole run failing because of RNG OUTSIDE of the stage. You guys like IS2 because none of you have truly awful luck.

[@bluenicholasbf2142]

Assuming you have the ops, the composition I found the most success with is Goldenglow and Gnosis for ranged, and Mudrock and Irene for melee, along with lots of vanguards, snipers and supporters to feed them stacks. Push/Pull specialists are also very useful for when you need to panic deploy one of those 4 main ops because the starting rolls were bad, u can then use the specialist to get that op back and deploy it again once u are able to max out the 5 stacks. Lastly if there's no vanguard/sniper/supporters/specialists to pick from, medics are ok in a pinch with the 'B' support card that allows them to revive an operator, if Irene dies accidentally the medic can still help to salvage it by reviving her.

[@Nightmare_52]

[@PlatinumKrown]

I'm too scared to play this, I'm account level 88, and have only 18 operators at or above E2. The mechanics I could probably handle, the enemy scaling, no way, I can't even handle the 20% buff that challenge mode gives on event EX stages. But I haven't tried IS either because I'm too busy grinding, doing side stories, or main quest (started ch 6 today). I can't really do the Vifer brute force method either, because my ops aren't leveled up enough.

[@PlatinumKrown]

Good grief the rewards are not enough for how hard this is. 14 Sticks and 7 Instruments for a single run, good things events give that much or more for normal grinding.

[@cirnobyl9158]

Unpopular opinion but I actually like SSS. Not as much as IS2, but it's still something I play for fun beyond the biweekly caps. After getting both deathless medals, I decided ASPD was unfair and went back and did deathless without drafting any Snipers. I've also done physical only clears and no 6* (except Schwarz) clears, nearly deathless but there was always at least one Floor that gave me trouble. The commonality between all the above clears: lots of Supporters. I generally start with 6-8 Supporters and end up with 10+. A lot of people complain that SSS is terribly RNG-dependent because you can brick your starting hand and just lose. Not if you have Supporters, and Vanguards to fund them. Simply cycle through cards until you draw the one you want. No more reliance on RNG. You WILL get your Goldenglow/Irene/Suzuran guaranteed because most of your draws replace themself for free.

[@bartekrudy1161]

In one run i drafted 7+ supporters and in other one only 3.... Can't draft something if im not being given a choice to draft it :P

[@MithrilSludge6541]

Nobody loses in SSS lol, that's just dropping out a stage and able to get back in. The "lose" is just not getting the medal, when most people get perfect runs 4/5 runs once they get used to abusing Supporter Perma slow +draw power. When you lose in IS, you lose the whole damn run without the ability to retry, even worse when it's an unavoidable emergency stage thats right before the boss fight of a secret ending.

"SSS and IS2 are the same thing, right?" You are walking a very thin line right now...

[@mr.clevertrick8710]

Difficulty in SSS is greatly exaggerated. It's more of the RNG aspect that turns off most people since you have to 1. Properly place operators 2. Have the proper squad and buffs (duh it's late game stuff. You expect a lvl 40 player can do SSS? I guess if the player knows what they're doing + borrow a strong unit) but everyone emphasizes that you NEED "these specific operators" to win SSS. There are 4 star clears of this gamemode. I'm literally using a megabuffed Angelina. No one uses Angelina nowadays so nobody knows how good she is, just like how most people tunnel visions into the overpowered units.

[@francescoleoci7685]

I think that what contributes the most to this is belief is both the fact that the mode is extreme end game stuff imo, and that the difficulty skyrockets down when you actually understand the maps and have a strategy for them. It's not even that hard since you need very few carries so your team should mostly aim to deploy them asap.

[@jackvalior]

Ok, IS2, I can clear with a team of 3 stars and not that much RNG. The variety of relic means a variety of strategy as well. The enemy in IS2 doesnt just get more stats (except for the occasional elite fight) they are always the same stats, so the challenge imposed is known and you can prep for it. This mode is mainly just a stat check. Worst of ALL the card RNG element in SSS is not fun. Like in IS2, you can have bad RNG and dont get good relic and have to adapt your strats as you go. Or you can have 400 atkspd and 300% dmg buff on kroos and watch her solo a stage with blade dance. SSS RNG just punishes you for not getting the right draw and tell you to reset the stage again. SSS also just punishes you for not having Gnosis or GG or NTR or 6 stars in general. There are stall strats you can use but you are reliant on your draw to get that one perfect order buff to get Ethan pudding infinite stall and you pray the enemy dont have ranged attack.

[@MithrilSludge6541]

Bad RNG in SSS means failed stage, bad RNG in IS2 means failed run with almost no way to salvage it lol 😂 The only real problem with SSS is repetition of strats,(slow supporter + blocker + main DPS), RNG isn't the problem and never will be.

[@jackvalior]

@@MithrilSludge6541 Yea, but that looks wholly at the result, not the experience. Like if I can reset the stage in IS2 for better relic drops, it will also be boring and repetitive. You can fail an IS2 run and still find it fun. Like the boss stage matter less as the experience of going through it is fun, that is why I am still playing it despite clearing out the reward. SSS repetition and gameplay loops just suck as you endlessly repeat that same stage, AND the RNG punishes you on top of it.

It's basically rehashed bs

[@randypc1]

Why IS is better than SSS is in my opinion how they implemented RNG in either mode. IS rewards you but SSS punishes you. While both modes do give additional operators in between battles, this is actually a bad thing in SSS. SSS plays out like a card game, you start with a deck and you play operators (cards) by paying a cost and you can draw at certain times (every 15 kills) or with an effect (supporter deployment effect). Now imagine Yu-gi-oh had a mode where you start with 30 cards and after every match you are forced to add 2 extra random card after winning a match. All you are doing is diluting your deck, even if the selection is not RNG, your deck size still increases and the chance for a bad draw increases. And with the recycling mechanic, each additional operator further increases the time it take cycle through the deck. Hypergryph should have the players start with maybe 20~ operators and have it be consistent without any additions. Or buff the operators you select in between battles, to makes worth it to dilute the deck for it. Like give them a special ATK boost depending on which lvl you got them on.

Her rarity increases her DP cost and hard to get potentials for, so her class gadget - Getting extra draw points, she isn't very good at compared to Deepcolor.
