JT8-3 - Low End Squad -【Arknights】

This strategy is made by using really common operators and easy to substitute.
It's not essential to follow the steps perfectly if you have different operators for that class.
Adjust the strategies a little bit for yourself to suit your own team comp better.

Maybe you should look at more low rarity guides instead of just those ones then. Cause there's a lot of f2p guides. Especially low rarity CN ones. And its only been 2 days since EN ch8 launch so uh, 🤡

[@miirico5398]

@@marielcarey4288 I didn't said that theres no low rarity guide to begin with, just that if you search for a guide youtube is plastered with all of these guides with Surtr as the core unit of the guide and since I'm one of those unfortunate lads who didn't get Surtr I welcome these kind of guides.

[@somethingeasy333]

Honestly, surtr is simply so overpowered and her skill health boost and survival mechanic can give her a fixed window for damage which is just too good to pass up. But you will expend so much more dp because no matter how much healing you sic on her it won't be enough unlike Kyo here who only needed to deploy the core dps guardmiya twice or so. That being said, I had a basically (almost) full 6* team and just brute forced my way through the ignite mechanic.

Now since spectre alter has released. She can tank all of the pyro waves since even of she dies, she doesn't die. Otherwise you can borrow a nightingale.

OH. MY. GOD. NO NIGHTINGALE. HE DID IT.

[@ch.7785]

tbh there are already lots of no-nightingale strats out there if you just search lmao. theres even a 4 star 8 ops clear lmao. the premise is similar to this: arts guards to stall and dps talulah, ranged guard at bottom and good defender(cuora is usable) at top. but instead of using 4 other fast redeploys/helidrops to reduce pressure for medics, instead uses 3 decent medics: 1 resist medic(resist reduces the ignite, whisperain is a godsent here)(can be switched for another really good single target medic), 1 aoe, 1 really good single target medic. the resist medic is placed above myrtle at the start of the game.

[@Oni____]

I don’t think I’ve seen a guide with nightingale... what makes her so good? Is Taluhla able to set fire to the multiple drones or are they just really good at healing?

[@chiramishuwu]

I don't have Nightingale and cleared both normal and challenge mode just fine She's not that necessary to clear this stage, people just exaggerated. Sure her talent helps a lot, but there are other ways like using fast redeploy to tank

[@xyura8416]

@@Oni____ i think why makes her so good becuz 1. she have a talent that can give a Res fo all OPs in her atk range 2. she can summons 2 or 1 (i forgot bout that) cage/phantom that can be stalling the fire ball 3. her 3rd skill is very very good af... she can give *150% Res Buff for all OPs within her atk range", her atk and atk range increased, and give 25% Arts Dodge* too (M3). and she is a AOE Healer also if my english is bad, sorry...

Your commitment to low-op clears is impressive and appreciated. If someone is at this stage without any 6 stars, they must be memeing.

[@armandothexpat787]

Kuddos to you Kyo. Well done! I get your feeling when you cleared it. It really makes you feel that you are fighting A BOSS. When I killed Talulah for the 2nd time, and after the meteorite wave, she wakes up again (and I thought ''Pls no, OMG you do not have a third life, do you''?) and immediately she FINALLY died. HUGE RELIEF!!!!! XD I also cleared it by myself but had to use only one 6-star (Surtr) and my Ptilopsis 2nd skill saved my squad from the meteorite waves. Still, this boss stage made me realize that it is so important to know the mechanics of the stage. It is hard also even with 6 stars.

[@alberteinstein1620]

fun fact: matoimaru is a BEAST in this level. she can tank a whole fireball phase with no help whatsoever due to her massive health pool and regen skill (plus she can revive so there's that), but she's also amazing at stalling talulah. Just couple her with 1 or 2 healer, get someone like thorn to deal the big damage and it's gg

[@redfoxakame]

Thank you so much for the guide! I just started AK this year so I had a lot of under-leveled ops and my lazy ass who couldn't read mechanics, I didn't even know that the last 2 ops deployed would be the ones to explode. I still got by until the rain of fire and the boss' 2nd phase and everyone was on cooldown. I didn't even bother trying again and just watched your guide lmao! I'm maining Thorns so it was a looot easier. Having Shu and Virtuosa even w/ only their 2nd skills made it easier as well. I couldn't stall since Thorns was killing the boss too early so I would just put Specter first then Amiya, then if Amiya dies, back to Specter. Struggled for dp at first since I only had Project Reid as my fast-redeploy and I sucked at using Jaye so I figured I'd just not use Jaye and instead bring both Yato and Gravel at lvl 1 since I'd just sacrifice them anyway. Then since I was still having delays in redeploying, I borrowed a Phantom (who I just recently saw from a showcase w/ Zuo Le) and tested if his phantom would be targeted as well - it would! I had an easy time after practicing! The challenge mode didn't make a difference cause again, the boss would die early. Couldn't even get to the summons part. XD Thank you, again! Wouldn't have done it without this guide! ^^

[@crypto66]

Really, the only real trouble in this stage is Kaschey's bad breath as it requires tight redeployment. The wiki descriptions were a bit confusing, so I wasn't entirely sure how they worked. I've been trying to burst her down while healing through the Burning Breath with more Medics, but that meant less dps for the mobs and leakage. Of course, buffing up my wave DPS meant less for the boss and the fire will stack up enough to kill me anyway. After this video taught me how to mitigate that mechanic, the fight turned out to be surprisingly simple. Burned her down with Guardmiya and Surtr.
