[@Byron.D]

Between you and Professor Taskdesk(if that is truly his name), I am beginning to believe that the EN AK community is coming together to try and give Xairathan an aneurysm.

[@Randomguy-xg2ui]

Thanks for the info really useful especially after cc10 ended.

[@jacksonkohls3842]

9:06 "Seriously, thanks Xai. My brain is now 5% larger because of you, causing immense pain in my cranium as it was not meant to hold a brain this large, however I know it is for the better because my iq can now better serve the horselords in my future endeavours. I hope Yostar releases Dorothy from NPC jail soon because I'm incredibly down bad, I need serious help. Also for those of you who have too much time on your hands there are some bonus videos in the description that are not funny but just some extra content I have been doing in the past months for those who care. I hope your CC went well, and if it didn't then just blame it on the lack of Dorotheheheheheheheheheheheheheehehehehehehehehe"

[@Holycrapmynameislong]

this is literally the craziest fun fact video that no one asked for at all, and i am all for it. outstanding video!

[@darkdude1996ify]

4:47 This is *VERY* clear to see in SSS, where the phase shift starts when there's no enemies left on the field, but if the last enemy spawns the stupid little dust mites, they'll still be there during the phase shift

[@Zafang]

welcome to the world of ak jank :)) i can't believe you already m6d plat i'm so proud of you

[@eha_nl]

Thanks dad

[@horsepowered_]

I honestly had no idea the wave timing was this cursed until I saw another video a few days ago where Xairathan mentioned this (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSxhYOlo7aSjtk). I just lucked into a setup where the trigger was consistently pushed onto the second Sarkaz caster.

[@Gredoxx]

I learned about this mechanic on Patriot, where If you take down his phase 1 before a certain enemy spawn you prevent "the boys" from showing up

[@dryptosaurus]

It's wild seeing this video a couple days after Vifer released his PvP grand finale, where Everec (I assume) falls into the same problem of wave 2 not spawning. I also wonder, if those 2-3 hours was what taught Xairathan what the problem is, so she could explain it in the grand finale.

[@wollyram6248]

Eha's new groove. Where he learns wisdom from a beach ball birb.

[@chaosstripe9446]

This kind of cursed jank is why I subscribed. Love to see it.

[@chaosstripe9446]

So I actually remembered why this seemed so familiar to me. I had this happen all the way back in Operation Originium Dust, where during one run the wave spawned differently and the boss just got up and started walking off super early. I wonder if that was the same sorta thing?

[@blitzrohan]

3:00 green woman jumpscare

[@mauzilus]

I genuinely love your editing style. Also degeneracy. Who knew so many problems can be fixed by choosing different risks! Thank you for your research in the field of arknights science.

[@amam-hv2xr]

Yeah, I was trying for r24 , and MAN was like such a pain to deal with, and then I had that brilliant idea, I should just drop any buff for man and see another risk that is easier

[@SilentSpirit671]

I can’t. My brain is too smooth for this….

[@ArachnoParadox]

I was like "hey i knew this already i saw a flowchart before" and went to look for it and it was made by xai... i guess that dates this video

[@randomtagr.t591]

"Do you remember what I have been doing for this past 3 hours?", blowing up horses?

[@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH]

these videos really need more gummy

[@zomfgroflmao1337]

Gummy is a horse?

[@NikkiTheViolist]

spaghetti code is better than lasagna code, tbh

[@MrB10N1CLE]

I didn't think I could recognize platinum disco just from a 1s intro, but here I am

[@evanlogan3595]

Yeah, I already knew about this (due to TV Tropes mentioning it off-handedly.) So I figured it was common knowledge amongst the Challenge community.

[@evanlogan3595]

Basically, boss-linked enemy spawns only spawn if the battle is 'ready' for them. This mostly happens with bosses, but you can see it in certain stages with regular enemies, where the battle's 'phase' doesn't move on and spawn new enemies until all the original enemies are dead; it's the same mechanic. I assume this was left in so that people aren't screwed over for being 'too good' (or too bad/using a stalling strat etc) and getting impossible to deal with enemy spawns.

[@animan095]

Damn, this useless knowledge shall reform me and mold my brain like clay

[@strawberryfloptart958]

Enemy spawn conditions have been known to be whack for a while now. Take, for instance, 7-18. After getting Patriot down to 0HP the first time, a bunch of Kevins start spawning. Conditions: 1) Defeat Patriot phase 1 However, there's a known abuse where they don't spawn if you stall one of the mooks and the kill counter doesn't reach 18. So now the spawn conditions look like this: 1) Defeat Patriot phase 1 2) 18 kills But, during my own attempts at the stage, the Kevins spawned anyway, even if one of the mooks was still alive. Reddit was unhelpful at usual so I had to figure this one out myself. Turns out, the spawn conditions are as follows: 1) Defeat Patriot phase 1 one of the following: 2a) 18 kills 2b) Patriot starts moving off the bottom right corner. Or maybe it's a timed thing idk. This annoyed the heck out of me.

[@yosi2142]

had a good laugh and learned at the same time. great editing btw

[@Krys_ak]

Here to get my daily fix of AK jank

[@notrealsaga]

At this point I wish Dorthy never comes, the memes are just too good

[@Zuikaku]

As much as I love this game it's held together by scotch tape and spite

[@tako4316]

*sees distinct lack of 5 executor operators*

[@jacks1703]

This man deserved so much more views with his humour and editing skill yo.

[@goodyfive]

eha underscore contracted yostaritis this is so sad

[@kyarumomochi5146]

This was a legit insane video

[@immythictv]

Amazing video mr Eha also funny birb woman is here so it makes it even greater

[@stef2337]

I not sure what I witness here but I want buy that rock cancer ad

[@oddacity5883]

From what i’ve seen of Xairathan, i can safely conclude her magic words are too much for my chimpanzee brain

[@niklassjvar1635]

Lmaooo, dis was a thing at challenger cup finals round 4 resulting in epic comeback me thinks

[@shubtakkorathinasapostle1159]

Hypergryph's unnecessary amount of "if loops" is not something I expected to spend 10 minutes learning but holy shit the boys are really standing outside the red box with an entire ass flowchart. Hell, the boys probably need to pause and unpause the game as quickly as Eha when the cannon just so they can make sure they're spawning on the correct conditions.

[@RexRagerunner]

If I'm not wrong, Kyo's Patriot fight guide also abuses this

[@BillyONeal]

We are experiencing levels of crossover that should not be possible 🎉

[@irsblitze1505]

i dont get why this hasnt gotten 100k views

[@Reizy_the_crazy]

Also have this problem. This prevent me from archieving my R25 run

[@JustSick_forever]

First time hearing Xairathan :)

[@SoulWhiteAngel]

Xairathan going insane

[@tritranminh4990]

4:53 Dorothy, who's that?

[@Dr.Krezotexe]

This Logic-Gate theory make remember that i hate Logic-Gate

[@marielcarey4288]

0:29 i lick my screen so fast

[@VonTachyon]

This. This is a content.

[@ideadomg]

what in the unholy goddamn

[@s.o.t_the_real]

so many dorothyh its killing me😭

[@zomfgroflmao1337]

Wasn't that the same thing that decided the Vifer tournament?

[@rendidatriansyah6103]

yeah, but at that time, iirc Xai theorized it's because of the invisible drone (which can't be killed because of Silverash ban). this video clears up the issue i think

[@Kokokbeluk]

Idk I never killed manfred that fast

[@peterdenov4898]

You just didn't activate Melantha skill on time, smgh....

[@lingerlights]

This is GOLD

[@SeaweedAK]

499iq Xai

[@Obsolescent]

Kuranta Deeznuts -knights-

[@benedict6962]

What manner of cursed spawning rules are those. Feels like nested if statements running on 3 completely different conditions

[@kyubbikcat2281]

Bruh imagine losing the run because you were WINNING the rng dodge battle.

[@heinpete2156]

Dorothehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehe

[@Elidan1012]

Xairathan's YT link in the description is borked

[@bloodred255]

if you kill patriot phase 1 before he rounds the corner, the enemies wait for everything to die before spawning in the remaining enemies. they don't spawn in when manfred dies, they spawn in when everything is dead or manfred passes a certain point and dies there. assuming its the same sort of trigger as patriot.

[@pathalenvivaldi7811]

"Managed to miraculously go through his dodge 4 times!" Uh, Manfred is blocked by Nearl's crystal in all 4 of those hits, ergo, she does true damage, which he can't dodge. :D I admit, at first I thought it was due to dying in red box. I was quite a ways off, dang. Thanks for the good show, and the pain of going through that experimentation, Mates! Also, thanks for wishing us to have had a good time on the CC, Mate, especially in that 0.00001 sec frame at the end I had to time harder than any of the ballistic missiles they sent at us just to see. XD

[@tortoise-chan]

He's talking about platinum hitting through dodge not Nearl

[@ULTrANIUM1947]

There is some mob u need to kill in order next wave enemy coming examples If kill Manfred earlier but some wave 1 mobs u haven't kill will not trigger the second wave enemy

[@tempota7792]

6:21 Well, yeah, we'd known that already. Didn't take 3 hours to figure that out.

[@Spectacular_Insanity]

Skill issue. :)

[@matthev24-7]

Okay, but why do you even care...

[@HateIsJustice]

Learning once again that Bind Casters can be chucked into a volcano! They seem to mess with the coding hook flag majigs with spawn approvals or something! Enjoyable video. I ended up spending the last couple of days of CC#10 trying to figure out exactly & how Nian's skill two activation animation was able to dislodge the binding from them.
