This Arknights Event Made Me Snap.

[@Jarediann]

Worst Christmas gift ever.

[@zaxzainal.5077]

@@Jarediann a tip for your 5* only run. If you want good 5* vanguard, I would suggest you use zima or kestrel. While Texas can do aoe stun, she simply too squishy and there isn't any stage where you need that aoe stun at the start. Zima on the other hand has better defense and can actually stop and kill early enemies without taking too much damage. And if you use her s1, she can actually rival myrtle in term of dp generation since its auto activate, (plus she isn't useless like myrtle since she can do other stuff like killing the enemy). Kestrel while isn't that good for dp generation, she has fairly short skill charge time and focus more on damage while being as tanky as zima. And if you pair them together, zima talent make all vanguard has lower dp requirement to deploy so you can always deploy both at the start for easy tanky 4 block on a blue box, or tanky 2 block on 2 saperate blue box. Hope this help you. PS, myrtle suck, she can't do shit.

[@DisIngRaM]

@@zaxzainal.5077 Glad to have someone that see and play other Vanguard. Many AK player overrely on Myrtle, not knowing that some stage make using Myrtle at disadvantage.

[@Cosmic_510]

@@zaxzainal.5077 usually I play with texas. Not because of her stun effect but also the fact I instantly get the 12 dp while I have to wait for myrtle to finish her production. On the contrary, I have Ines with her skill 2 and muelsyse which both go well. Virgil is a bit more on the bad side in dp production so I stopped using him.

[@rainzerdesu]

Nah. Nethersea Brand was the worst mechanic because braindead civilians you can just deal with by blocking rocks and ignoring the statues (anxiety doesn't do enough damage unless you're stalling a stage for 4 minutes). Nethersea brand was like you don't have Lappland or Gnosis? Guess you lose.

[@lovableairheadmile6809]

Jaye ​@@rainzerdesu

[@Nazuiko]

What makes it worst for me is that the mechanics dont even synergize with the main ops! Nothing about this stage design really benefits or hinders Reaper guards that much. The event is just 20x less fun if you dont have Myrtle, because her absurd generation is the only counter to the 18 DP mechanics in the event and the urgency at which you need it to keep the stupid blind idiots alive. If this was Saileach's event I could buy it, but what was the intent here? The fences cost DP and also you only use them once, in a tutorial and never again The boards cost DP. The statues cost DP. The enemies steal DP. The enemies EXISTING slows DP generation. *Why*

[@rainzerdesu]

@@Nazuiko I don't think events in AK generally have anything to do mechanically with the operators that release with them. Like Lone Trail was Mumu and Ho'ol which did nothing special with the boulders. Path of Life i don't even think it had any special mechanic besides those things that gave everyone burning dmg. Babel had the slowing chains so you didn't even need Ascalon for slowing.

[@Rosabels9243]

I appreciate HG taking risks and trying out different mechanics but this was not it hahahahaha

[@Nazuiko]

Theres so many things in this event that if they just. Didnt layer a billion gimmicks on each other, would be fine. The civvies would be a problem if the fucking rocks werent there and the statues didnt cost DP and the enemies didnt all stunt DP growth or just straight up steal it from you.

[@Chara-yp6zj]

Hot take, I didnt hate this event, i thought it was fine, i appreciated placing characters to defend the civs while whittling down the attackers, the floorboards were interesting and dynamic. Vanguards being basically required doesnt bother me much, i like using lots of vanguards.

[@Jarediann]

Respectable take

[@codename_leo9658]

This is so real, probably the only event when i needed 3/4 of my strongest ops to do a trust farm, when i usually use 1/2 MAX. Enemies, mechanics, map setup, altars, CIVILIANS, this was and still is awful

[@W0lfscythe]

It's between this and Stultifera Navis in terms of awful mechanics. But at least SN is more bearable with ops with silence and wandering medics. Hortus has DP caps and civillians who WON'T LEAVE! There were times where I could 3 star a stage becuase I forgot about the civillians and they die. The music and story are the only positive things I can say about it.

[@nicholasjacobs6605]

I feel like anytime they introduce civilians into a game mode in AK it automatically becomes a worse mode. Like the worst thing about doing ch 8 for me was the civilian stages (especially a certain hell stage with civilians in it). The only ones that weren't bad overall was the ones in ch 11 as you don't have to defend them, you just need to block them to make sure they aren't suspicious.

[@egorbessonow2121]

Civilians aren't a bad thing by itself, protecting them is what makes people suffer. In ch 12 (ch 11 doesn't have civilians) and Il siracusano they don't cause much problems.

[@nicholasjacobs6605]

@@egorbessonow2121 Yeah, I get ch 11 and 12 mixed up cause the vibes of the chapters are so similar, ch 12 was what I meant. The Il Siracusano ones are fine I guess as they don't cost lives if they die, they just lead to the blood oath dudes coming out more.

Tbh, i really liked this event. Finally made me feel like i actually used my brain

[@fishoreo]

Real. All this time we actually play "tower offence" game. This event really embraces the "tower defence" game lmao😂

[@sempie2919]

I dont even think the event is "badly designed" its just VERY unorthodox. Remember when you destroy everthing using ur wisadels and Mlynar. Here it doesn really matter.

[@Jarediann]

yea i would agree i think, just very weird, and personally not my thing

[@lucasmelee]

some lives just aint worth saving that's what this event told me

[@NikkiTheViolist]

I liked this event. But then again, I used a bunch of vanguards ( I have a lot built) and I used healing defenders and dollkeepers to block the rolling balls' paths. And I heavily used Siege's gang too, to helidrop onto the enemies.

[@Chara-yp6zj]

I think maybe it has a different feel to it, it requires different responses or play styles or characters yeah. Like lots of vanguards to combat the DP requirements and debuffs. I liked this event alot too. I would say just that, maybe the enemy stats are too big for stages of this style. Specifically because of that, I think it is an unruly difficulty curveball.

[@REb0rnVG-gk7rb]

I really liked this event because the main solution isnt really abt nuking everything. Like 90% of the game There are mechanics that tries to neuter dps like reflect, emperor blade etc but here nuking is irrelevant its a test of micromanagement.

[@azoth4921]

When this event first came around I NEVER did it (I only did the 1st story stage lol), and I am glad I never did back then because the sanity damage I would've taken would have been insane. The fact that the TUTORIAL was harder than most of the stages too actually pissed me off.

[@Vamprushi]

I'm glad that you too also found this event dreadful. the stages I struggled with the most were definitely HE-7 and HE-8. The previous ones DID NOT prepare me for these last two that are the equivalent of a punch in the face.

[@adamdaniel6915]

This event legit made me hate the civilian mechanism even more, the pure stupidity of the civilians

[@ipatchymakouli415]

How are they stupid? They run straight from one altar to another. If they die in "stupid" ways, be it boulders, holes, or bleeding out, it's YOUR own fault for not doing the minimum required about it.

[@Gaiou0331]

​@@ipatchymakouli415Say whatever you want but this thing is badly designed simply by how many things they expect the player to keep track off with this absolutely horrendous tileset for the stages. Getting lost there it's just too easy and getting distracted while trying to keep the civilians alive even more.

[@ipatchymakouli415]

@@Gaiou0331 you can literally NEVER activate any shrine and beat the event, as long as you put planks on the holes and block the boulders from damaging stuff. Putting excuses on "getting distracted" or "lost" because of "tileset" just screams skill issue. Civilians are a pain as another source your life point can go down. But this event civilians are a breath to deal with compared to Ursus ones getting stabbed. I really don't get the hate. Maybe because people can't Surtr the boss, that's my guess.

[@Timmynator-9000]

Normally I like to figure out event stages myself but I didn't even bother with this one and just used Kyostinv guides for the entire thing 😪

[@GorkyZer0]

Understandable. This was one of harder event mechanic for new players, since it cannot be easily countered with only 1 borrowed operator. No matter who was Your support You would struggle and feel like You need more of everything, at same time, in few different places. Still You did rather well here!

[@Jarediann]

Yea I thankfully knew how the event worked, due to full clearing it on my main account, if this account was more built i could've easily gone further

bro i thought i was the only one losing my mind liek call me a monastery civilian maybe the civilian is actually supposed to represent the player

[@The158Outlaws]

Jars becoming a civilian from the event!!! (ngl this event is peak, it actually gives you some emotional damage unlike the last event that basically had no enemies AND YES I MEAN IT they die from basic attacks+the boss just binds himself to one of the bozos and therefore doesnt even exist like what the heck???) 9:30 Typhon event.

[@laby1827]

I know It's an unpopular opinion, but I really love this event ! It's mostly due to the event's story that I loved reading. I also didn't find the stage too annoying but it definitively made me think a lot lmao ^^

[@JamesP7]

This is one of the event stories I skipped, but I like the stage mechanics. I think people just get annoyed when they actually have to think to clear stages. It’s far worse when the stages require certain operators and strategies to win, which is why I will always say that Design of Strife is the worst event. At least in other events, I wasn’t given the illusion of choice.

[@randomf2pplayah768]

Oh yeah.. the boss rush that required thinking and meta units..

[@gaerekxenos]

I actually enjoyed it too. But then again... I DP print using Stainless + Ines, so it was very hands free compared to what other people use. Far less multi-tasking on my end Don't like the rerun though. Locking me out of spamming the statue wasn't cool =/ I have more than enough DP to compensate, so I don't appreciate the babying to keep players from wasting DP

[@Dingsmann]

Fast redeploys (executors) were my MVP's in this event, especially for the boss. About 80% of my autos revolve arount Deploying Silverash on his S2 in some corner, for the later stages with saria or gummy and then treating the rest of the stage like a reaction puzzle to solve with fast redeploys. As a result I actually had a lot of fun in this event, elvating it to one of my favorites. Unironically great cristmas present

[@xcynik3235]

personally this event has one of my favorite mechanics, but that's probably just the ADHD in me being satiated I quite love mechanics that always have something for me to do since it keeps me busy and entertained

[@Jarediann]

That's understandable, i hear ya

[@MettatexYT]

this event's presentation, OST, character releases (yes, spuria and insider are neat, viability aside) and what not are amazing. i just wish the actual gameplay was as well omegalol

[@DracoSlayer]

I actually remember this being the first and _only_ event where I failed at the tutorial. Which definitely felt like a sign of things to come for how this event would play out... Though I think I hate Lingering Echoes just a tad bit more.

[@ipatchymakouli415]

To me this event was fine. The mechanics require brain usage, and that's why I play Arknights. Not just sit and watch. Else I'd play BloonsTD. If any event is the worst, it would be Vernal wind thingy. The boss stages were fine. But by design, the elevated walls mechanics is just about not letting enemies climb on the walls. So you just make a big blob of units to prevent that, and then you can put your hands up. Even less interactive than the first events. THAT is what a bad event is, in my eyes.

[@belojah2]

I.... liked the event. It felt more Rainbow 6 than the r6 events. It felt less about strength and more about dp management. I guess different strokes for different folks?

[@Jarediann]

Yea probably, I don't blame people for liking the event, just not my cup of tea personally :D

[@gaerekxenos]

Yeah, this event was more puzzle map than just delete enemies, particularly for the latter maps. Still needed to kill enemies, just required more strategy. Particularly the boss. Basically needed specific types of units such as block 3s in certain places at certain times and to make sure your block counts weren't all used up so you could block rocks

[@far4955]

This event was fun, better than those stages with bosses where you just dps them down

[@justintime7577]

I liked this event 😊 it's one of the more fun events imo I used my weaker units to clear, having to restart couple of times to clear while learning the stage, but it was fun not just dropping units in the first minute and afking

[@Jarediann]

@@justintime7577 that's very fair, I can respect that

[@justintime7577]

@Jarediann I will admit tho, that the biggest issue I had this event was when it dropped. The event required you to actually focus, and it got dropped during Christmas when I had no spare braincells 😭 If it was released two days sooner, it wouldn't feel so suffocating imo

I love how we universally agree that this event sucks! I'm at a similar level, no longer a beginner player, so, I tried to use my less used Ops (only a couple of them are E2)... and I kept losing and re-playing on NORMAL difficulty stages! Every time, it was just because I haven't noticed a hole in the floor or where a civilian runs, or because I didn't get an extra DP-printer to calm those fuckers down! Two of my auto-deploys didn't work and I had to make them anew. I highly recommend to farm rocks and gel now. While the maps arebeutiful and the music is nice, it's by far the most annoying event I've played.

yeah i remember this event being absolute cancer and setting up a new auto on the boss stage proved that beyond a doubt though for me the first co-op event is probably still worse just because of how laggy it was for me, leading to an absolutely miserable experience

I've been playing since Day 1 and have the most broken units in the game, and I still feel like some of the gimmicks (especially in the last year or so) have been super annoying and unfun. I really didn't like the anti gravity mechanic in the Silence Alter Event either. (But I may be in the minority on that one because it was pretty cool as a concept)

[@StayFrostyX279]

[@zaxzainal.5077]

As a defenderknights, this event wasn't that hard as I just need to block the enemies and boulder and the civilian will be safe. Also, just zima on s1 is enough dp generation for the whole event. Edit: this event main challange is your own attention span, so it's quite literally a irl skill issue for some people.

[@ipatchymakouli415]

Agreed. This event just requires attention, not simply placing units and brain goes off. Some sort of ADHD check some people can't go through. I didn't mind, only boss stage with boulders required some planning. And still, it was fun modifying the civilians path by slowing the boss with Ines/Mostima.

[@icomander9223]

Yup the only event that I thought wasn't "fun" mechanically because it's just annoying, the sanity, DP slowdown, the civilians, the rolling boulders, the blockers, the holes the invisible enemy that one shots your ops, it's too distracting and demands too much focus at the same time, it really wasn't hard I cleared it very fast but it feels exhausting to clear that my ADHD brain can't handle it.

[@glowymushroom6328]

Howdy, I've been playing concurrently with you on my own F2P 5 stars only account! I started it after I saw the first video in this series. I'm lvl 65 and have Lappland, Poncirus, Blue Poison, Whisperain, Underflow, Tequila, Kroos Alt, FEater, Ceylon, Beeswax, and Scene E2'd, with modules for Lappers and Whisperain! I plan on E2ing Kirara and Elysium next (Manticore keeps dodging me). I have yet to pull a single Healer-Defender and it has been painful. Poncirus has been a surprise favorite, she's like a budget defender and dishes out a surprising amount of damage! I also wasn't expecting Underflow to be as useful as she is, that piercing poison can do some work! Beeswax has been less helpful than I thought she'd be, but was absolutely required for my 6-5 clear! I haven’t figured out how to use Scene effectively, but we'll get there Progress wise, for most events I've given up at the boss stage. I've cleared Lungmen Outskirts, Chernobog, and got to 395 on the current Annihilation! I'm up to 6-12 in the main story, though I managed to get up to I think 14-7 when that was temporarily open! For this event, at time of writing I'm trying to clear HE-7. I haven't really used supports for this event, trying not to for farming purposes! I've been pulling fairly indiscriminately, but am now trying to save so I can for sure get the next collab operators. (I already have Cantabile, and I hate Spuria, so this banner has been an easy skip.) For those curious, I've pulled Thorns (2), Reed The Shadow Flame, Mizuki, Saileach, Silverash, Blemishine, Executor Alt, Suzuran, Irene, Mudrock, Ulpanius (2), And chose Exu as my free ticket 6 star for Texas base shenanigans. Tons of good 6 stars, I feel like I got a very lucky account and I'm using it for effectively a challenge run lol. Cursed to be E0 Lv1 forever

[@namelessarcher3261]

I dont like this event, but to be fair, I have used AH all the way till the last stage. It feels impossible without vanguards, but AH is broken enough that they work. I have given the last stage many attempts but still can't get the civilians to stay alive. It pissed me off even more because I almost got the perfect clear, but they both died right as the stage was ending. Ill probably just try it with a normal team but it feels bad man.

[@ads3047]

I didn't hate this even, it had a lot of annoying lil mechanics and the story was a bit dull but it wasn't the worst. For me the worst is 'so long adele', the sheep in that get so tanky, the mechanics really annoyed me, I didn't like the design (music was good though), story I wouldn't know as it was the first event I did without reading the story and it came out right when I was going through a lot so it was 100% just a chore and not fun.

[@Shallie]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEW JAROLD VIDEO!!!!!!

I feel like I am definitely in the minority where I never had any trouble with this event, it just felt easy and bland for me, I am not sure what exactly wasn't bothering me as much as many on this event My most disliked event (gameplay wise) was probably Stultifera Navis because I had no medic for the debuff at the time, or, Originium Dust because that boss the first time was a pain to deal with (for me)

[@Jarediann]

Completely fair

[@gaerekxenos]

This event was more puzzle map than delete enemies, along with DP management. Difficulty-wise... not the worst once you figure things out. But figuring things out is the hard part for a lot of people, since the usual methods some people employ don't really work here

[@Jarediann]

I look forward to trying it

[@Itashafan]

Bro I need the materials form this event but I don’t want to play it bro 😭😭😭

[@descartes2404]

Just be grateful that there is no CC version of this event

[@gaerekxenos]

O h. No. You did not just say that... >

[@yuomovaeh3028]

Yeah this one sucks but the Ebenholz event music laser stages are often even worse. So Long Adele stages are not as bad as these 2 imo.

Yellow again, i got a p5 cantabile and pull 57 times just to get a cantabile pot in that 57 pull i also got a 6 star and like 3 5 stars

I don’t think there has been an event I didn’t like, apart from maybe Dossoles Holiday, hate the water rising

[@aboyles21]

This event is so miserable. Definition of anti-fun design. There's so much going on but none of it synergizes. Like the boulders are so fucking random.

[@Cosmic_510]

I found it easy once i had like 4 vanguards mass producing dp

[@mohammedsalmaanjada7798]

I finished this entire event without ever using the statues once, ya'll are just ass😭

[@LONKULADE]

it's not a hard event but it's not fun either

[@JamesP7]

Yeah, some stages I avoided the statues to save DP and it was fine. The civilians don’t even take much damage when under fear (I think they take damage, I didn’t pay much attention because they weren’t an issue at all).

[@LONKULADE]

@@mohammedsalmaanjada7798 Are you quoting someone? And yeah it's subjective but the mechanics and design annoy a lot of players this time around

[@randomf2pplayah768]

The ones that deal huge dmg are those rocks or like HE-EX 6 if the left statue gets destroyed(which happened in my first dumb run) and civilians taking long routes and statues are destroyed by graverobbers

[@buratto5541]

It's really fun seeing a new player being pissed off from a event. did you already play Stultifera Navis? So Long Adele it's the only pissed me off the most in these almost 5 long years.

[@Jarediann]

yes stultifera navis was fine, not the worst, but not the best either. I will be trying adele when it reruns soon

[@talhayigitcelik1868]

I didnt really mind this event being multitasking tbh. Only frustrating part was the boss stage and i figured it out after a couple of tries. Im good at multitasking but apperently this game has enough multitasking according to our favorite arknights femboy jar and just a little more is a lot for some reason. Gacha brainrot has taken more braincells from the players then i initially guessed.

[@Jarediann]

I've cleared the event, I'm not bad at multitasking. Doesn't mean it's fun

[@gaerekxenos]

Boss map is basically a puzzle map, which is a very different format from usual gameplay. Most people don't really treat the game as a puzzle variety, so it is pretty understandable why they'd struggle

[@No.1SorasakiHinaFAN]

Civilians are the worst thing that have stepped foot in this game💔

[@cxfgjklihgfcvhjnknhjknvbvvcflk]

except the il siracusiano ones

[@aldwinjasperjoniega8973]

It's infuriating to farm for RMA70-12 at he-8 normal stage not because it's hard or anything (you can easily wipe the stage with well placed meta units) but because it takes too long to finish.

[@gaerekxenos]

I... actually enjoyed this event the first time it came around. But it was definitely one of the more annoying ones for sure. They've actually made this event worse this time around, locking you out of using the towers unless the civilians are actually there and hit a certain gauge. Better for newbies who spam and waste DP when they don't generate enough, sure -- worse for people who know what they are doing, or when you end up letting the towers get hit and need to use it one last time before it gets destroyed. I don't like the rerun for that fact. Also because I have to actually remember how to do the stages whereas I can just braindead clear most other event maps when redoing autos for trust. Thankfully all of my old autos worked so far so I don't have to bother with anything, except EX8 CM which I am holding off on for now
