Thank you for these guides. The more I have played this event, the less I want to play it. Your guides have helped me get past some points where I would either have to be psychic or spend a lot of my time trying to determine the precise timing of things, or if there is some sort of other magic nonsense about the stage. You literally protect my sanity. I really appreciate the time you take to put these out for everyone's sake.

[@macsenpai7006]

One of the hardest stage in Arknights in a while. I use Silverash and Amiya Skill 3. Amiya can only work if you will use her skill 3 together with Silverash skill 3 at the same time or else Amiya will targer the small originutans.

[@qiaochuyuan7226]

can confirm that rosmontis is good here instead of pinecone (she's been really good this whole event tbh), i held the lane with ros S3 + mudrock S2 + nearl + lappland even on CM, with (nearl +) ptilopsis + perfumer + whisperain for healing (E1), did not attack the boss except for bombs. ros was my 2nd 6★ ever, i love stages where i can make good use of smol orbital bombardment daughteru honestly last few events felt like they were too good for ST damage dealers as opposed to AoE and i like that in this event AoE has a clear advantage

Schwartz and SilverAsh were the star players for me in this level. First harming the boss in phases 1 and 2, then taking care of the mirages Eyja was also a god send to help with the slug horde at the end but I had serious trouble keeping her alive..

Managed to clear it by spending 30 training plans T_T, what makes this stage so freakin hard because there are too many core operators needed just to clear this stage, for ex in kyo's squad the cores are : spreadshooter sniper, controller specialist, high level aoe medic and ANOTHER HIGH level AOE Medic, and also Silverash from support unit maybe. In my case the core operators is Lapland from support unit, backed by Silverash, Rosa, Surtr, Siege, Dusk and 3 medics. And yea it's freakin hard
