SL-EX-7 + Challenge Mode | AFK Easy Strategy |【Arknights】

[@KyoStinV]

If you have DP issues at beginning, just bring Texas and Zima for extra DP. Or just deploy Bagpipe and the crate first then myrtle, just remember the timing for the crate

Thank you so much for the very helpful guide for busy Doktah like me ❤

I've been with Kyo since when Kyo's subscribers were around 1k. Happy with the progress Kyo is right now, and glad to know that the AK community is growing.

[@Calvados656]

Agreed. Haven't been around that long (I started around the Dossoles Holiday rerun last year) and I don't even know if there are enough Arknights players but here's to hoping he eventually hits the big 1 million one day! Edit: After thinking about it he also has Genshin players and soon to be Endfield players so maybe that's not far away after all.

[@blabler2533]

[@Calvados656]

So useful to note if your Ifrit has her module she will of course always be hitting at the furthest range and thus hit MUCH harder. Might be enough to make the difference.

[@blabler2533]

[@AnabolizZzm]

The timing to set up operators here is a bit tight, so I brought Elysium, Zima and vanguard Texas to help. Deployed Elysium on Ines's tile to help with DP gen, removed him right before the first sheep on top lane spawned - that way I could deploy every operator with no issues. Did not even need to swap Mountain's skill to destroy the crate, had enough DP to position Saria while smoke was still white on her tile. Hope that helps if you are struggling a bit.

[@blabler2533]

weak. its easy

[@tanakakaderuge4049]

You can change innes by usimg silverash but u need quite a lot of dp while also needing some fast redeploy like texalter or yatokirin to kill the sheeps that might leek up top and just get mountain on ya support unit (even lvl 90 S2 no mastery is enough). Hard stage

[@blabler2533]

weak. its easy

[@tanakakaderuge4049]

@blabler2533 bruh. This was long ago. Plus my account is not that strong and I dont have most needed ops.

[@JTT323]

I deployed an E2 lv50 (Max Mod, 7 costs) Texas to break the drink with my first 7 DP. The timeline worked just fine.

[@veonoev]

my nightingale kept dying, then tried using GG s3 and it worked much better to kill the caster sheep before they come close -- not afk then ofcourse but made it easier

[@bradleyreed8876]

Thanks! This worked great!

[@lupomikti]

I felt so big brain for the opener I came up with on this stage. When I first tried I immediately went this some bull lol. After some thinking and experimenting, I discovered I could Texalter s2 the very first scooter with Justice Knight to make the steam white so Texas can kill. Retreat and then I can get Elysium, Mountain, and crate down to make tiles white, then deploy W to attack one of the caster sheep at range from a fountain to make the rest of the tiles white, then wait for more dp to drop Mudrock who can tank the remaining three casters, drop Texalter again on the remaining bottom caster, and done, now the opening is taken care of and I can set up for the rest of the stage. Does need at least the first pot on Texalter tho I think, the timing was really really tight with her first deploy costing 9. I borrowed a vanguard Texas to make it so I didn't have to worry about this, so if you have both Texases no need for the pot

[@thegamingotaku1238]

Love how this game makes you think like a smart anime protagonist lol.

[@DisIngRaM]

@@thegamingotaku1238 it's what I called AK moments, Just like how MHW make you think you are a great hunter during what I call MH moments. It simply means it's a good design.

[@GabrielHenrique-pq5bo]

i replaced GG with absinthe(lv50 S1m3) and still worked, if you guys are afraid of mountain dying, make his less afk by bringing someone like texas alter or yato alter and regularly place crates in front of mountain and making them destroy the crates

[@aniusers]

you can replace eyja with ceobe s2 for dps or s1 to stall.

[@lan-kun-officialchannel8285]

MH Yato and Texas Alt. helped me a lot here!

[@wazabi41]

Siege(maxed out) instead of mountain worked. Used rosmontis instead of gg. I had to bring an extra tank(nyan in my case) to tank the multishot instead of my squishy dps since my nightingale was only 1.55lvl. placed it where myrtle is once i had all other units down.

[@isovas_og]

if you have no bagpipe, you can deploy myrtle after spreading the white smoke at the beginning also wisadel is as broken as always, you can deploy her in goldenglow's place and she deals with the main enemies by herself, leaving you to deal with the cancer that is called the top lane

[@xenokaz]

Fartooth smiling in this stage

[@ak_nora]

The timing is quite strict, but with additional ops, I could replicate this even with base pot Bagpipe. Just need to think a little creatively ;)

[@cherryh.7372]

i don't have mountain so i replaced her with 5* specter and saria with gladiia (mod3) and it still works! gladiia won't die and she'll keep specter alive too

[@srijitmajumder99]

You can use those nightingale cages if its too rough

[@Reak_Siracusa]

I'm really confused by this stage bc nothing really worked the way it did for you Edit: in the end i half way did my own strat. Replaced eyja with ch'alter and didn't used gg(even tho i have her) brought hosi and saria on the frontline with a s1 warfarin on the top next to eyja/ch'alter. Behind saria on the upper lane was blaze and on the lower lane i placed thorns behind hoshi. Had a fast redeploy ready if someone managed to eacape ch'alter and ifrit. Spammed soda bottles and tried to fill the lanes with white steam to make the enemy casters back to single target. Thats it i guess

[@tempota7792]

I just took the initiative and stopped the bottom skater before he even contaminated the inviso-ring. With all pot 0 Ops btw. While still stopping the skater outside of ring, I dropped Texalter as late as possible. At 5DP, drop the soda crate 1 tile below her. The timing with this is EXQUISITE I gotta tell ya, because her last sword rain will just barely manage to destroy the crate, but not before she eats the 1st volley from the caster sheeps, making her near death. However, as soon as the volley lands, the crate explodes, counting as a kill and resetting Texalter's HP and skill duration, enabling her to tank 1 more volley. The double heal from the inviso-sheeps above and below her will allow her to tank 2 more volleys. Next, I dropped KirinYato S3 below Texalter, facing right. My Yato was lvl69, so she had to stay after twirling to finish off the bottom 2 casters as they came into range. While that was happening, I watched Texalter's HP. Before she dies, I pause retreat her then pause deploy Texas in her place, MAKING SURE the skater (or the rascal) do NOT enter her tile. If the rascal dies under Texas, she'll get 2 shot by the casters before we can deploy the rest of the team. Cast her S2 when available to stun the 2 casters stuck on her to buy some time, while also bumping you up to around 22DP at this point. Deploy Nightingale(mine was only E180) left of Texas. She will keep Texas on life support until the rest of the team assembles. After that, it boiled down to just doing the standard start as per usual, i.e. Myrtle/Ely DP printing, Irene in place of Texas to prepare for the last wave of 4 casters, and Firewatch on the foundtain tile left of Nightingale. FW was using S1 for the invis, which helps prevent her from dying to the 4 casters' volley near the end. Also, her 1 extra tile of extended range (compared AA snipers') lets her more easily paint the spawning tiles back to white from farther away, cutting on a lot of the 3 target volley BS. With the aforementioned taken care of, the top lane was just the usual Ifrit+Mudrock+soda crate+KirinYato smooth brain tomfoolery, nothing special.

[@tempota7792]

Lol, can't believe I wrote a Kyostinv guide under a Kyostinv guide video. Still one of my fav and proudest AK moments yet. I don't f w/ IS or use nicheknights on event stages, so this self-imposed challenge and triumph was a nice treat.

[@timetobanzai8041]

These sheeps with magic wands are destroyed my Saria and then my entire team, because i forgot to change purple smoke to white on the tile where i placed my Saria.

[@geoolympics]

same thing happened to me :(

[@RyuseiiTheCrimsonKing]

The timing for that crate is stupidly strict , doesn't work no matter what I do, makes me wonder how people figure this stuff out.

[@ak_nora]

You could bring Gravel to block the skateboard, then put Bagpipe and the crate. If you're talking about the second crate, if Mountain couldn't break it, deploy Bagpipe facing up to do it before deploying Saria.

[@dreamlight7634]

Works perfectly fine for me with max pot Myrtle and pot 1 Bagpipe. Just make sure to use Bagpipe S2 even without mastery. S3 doesn’t charge in time (unless you have maxed mod and maybe also need pot 5)

[@DetectiveLevi]

Have max masteries on Myrtle

[@dammitjelly6235]

@@DetectiveLevi It's possible with S1M2 myrtle and E250 S2M0 pot 0 Bagpipe but you have to deploy Myrtle the second you get 8 DP and activate skill as soon as it's up. It's probably not doable lower than M2.

[@DHYohko]

i don't have ines or goldenglow. GG's range is very difficult to replicate with other operators.....

[@tempota7792]

SA, Tsukinogi, Elysium S2 all reveal top.

[@Vasharan]

Possible replacements Ines: Silverash or Elysium S2 Goldenglow: Maybe a chain caster, trapmaster (Dorothy, Robin, Frost), Rosmontis, Greyy Alter, Firewatch, Fartooth, Andreana. It's more important to be able to White Mist the sheep than pure damage in GG's location. A Rosa S3 instead of Ifrit may work to bind the top row enemies.

[@rollin6231]

Can confirm Andreana works instead of Goldenglow. Also, I don't have Mountain so I replaced him with Specter so they could buff each other.

[@iwansyarif8669]

keep getting leaks at the top, does eyja have to be max level or is it e1 ifrit that's making that happen? can i replace ifrit with another unit?

[@uni822]

It’s probably the second one, in E2 if I remember correctly she gets her talent to get sp so she can spam her skill, without that talent her dps is much lower

[@NikkiTheViolist]

You can replace ines with two other operators (one to reveal invis, one to bind/stun/freeze) like Silverash + Ceobe, or something like that you just have to slightly alter the deployment order and various other things to keep Ceobe from being targeted.

if you just want to watch a video without it being paused or explained, maybe what you're really looking for is just a level clear instead of a guide? There's plenty of those that you can go watch available.
