W is so good that not only does she make your own run super easy, but she also ends every single run you ever have when you meet her Sarkaz level. Very powerful.

Not a fan of Fungimist, probably going to lose my way up to the outfit or something and skip the rest of the reward ladder. The main event is fun though. I used Executor a lot on those big waves, it's fun to watch him shotgun the entire pack.

for the main evnet stage, is the best farming spot the second last stage? It only gives like, 8 tokens. Does a better one open later or do those not have drops?Robodog posted:W is so good that not only does she make your own run super easy, but she also ends every single run you ever have when you meet her Sarkaz level.

If you have Jaye the W map is extremely easy. Even an E1 Jaye can 1v1 W just fine late into a run. Lancer map is awful though, I don't think I've had a run that's done well on it. I've won about half a dozen runs now, just trying to clear out all the clears on normal and then going to move on to hard. This mode is the absolute best. E: Why the gently caress is Walmart Frostnova so hard and the normal boss so much easier. I want to do the Frostnova ending but Jesus it's an insane boss.

Ugh, I just had a run killed by the Ancient Ice fungimist map. I'd always avoided it before because it had "ice" in the name and gently caress that, but this time I had no other options. My instinct was correct and I'm going to say that not only is it the most bullshit fungimist map I've seen, but it may even be the roughest non-inferno/high risk ice map in the game.Acerbatus posted:for the main evnet stage, is the best farming spot the second last stage? It only gives like, 8 tokens. Does a better one open later or do those not have drops? I'd assume 6, 7, or 8 depending on what mat you want to farm. They should all give tokens equal to their sanity cost, unless maybe if you're leaking some guys? I'd assume the ones that open up later will be one and dones, not farming maps. that's how these events usually work. Ultima66 posted:If you have Jaye the W map is extremely easy.

Yeah, she's not bad at all as long as you've got some reasonably beefy tanking and dps when she comes around for the second pass, and Jaye provides both nicely.

Every single event map since the dawn of time has given you exactly as many tokens as the sanity you spend to play it. Event tokens are literally just the amount of sanity you've spent on the event (plus whatever one-time bonus tokens they give out).

I just had a long run with Phantom and that dude owns, 6* fast redeploy is awesome. I'm not totally sure what the ideal way to use Phantom is. Other fast-redeploy operators are straight-forward because you usually just want to withdraw them immediately, but Phantom has his clone to worry about (and is more expensive than alternatives, so frequently redeploys seem less appealing). Are you just supposed to leave him out and use his clone next time you need someone to stall/stun, and after that withdraw him? Or can you use the clone again after withdrawing just the clone?

If you're using his nuke I think you leave him out long enough to use the clone for the double nuke. If you're using his attack steroid you leave him out long enough for him and his clone to kill whatever they're killing or deplete their attack buff stacks. I don't know if anyone uses his tanking skill, but if you need two Gravels worth of tanking you could deploy him preemptively and then deploy the clone in such a way that it gets attack first.

Acerbatus posted:It should give w- One of the gators refers to High Priest as a Liberi, so he and Emperor are evidently part of the same species as bird girls like Silence and Ptilopsis. Other things High Priest has in common with Emperor is that they both: - Are much closer to the animal side of the animal-human spectrum - Use a title of office as their name - Have an extraordinary resistance to dying I guess the conclusion is that Terra is a bigger and weirder place than we imagine.

It would be nice to have a way to practice roguelike stages, or at least see the routes. I'm sure there's a reasonable default strategy for the lancers map where you tank the short paths and let the long paths/leaders through, but you end up losing multiple runs trying to figure it out. Same for the Darknights map which I've only seen once but is very easy to kill yourself on by triggering the aggro at the wrong moment.

Hellagur's a gryphon, which is apparently a bird in Arknights world. Fun fact: Most of the animal-race operators will have a reference to their animal type in their E2 art. Obviously the non-animal fantasy races won't. Emperor and the High Priest are definite exceptions, though, not only being long-lived but also being truly immortal, not just "lives a long time" immortal. Or at least, immortal enough to not die from stab wounds or exploding robots.

This isn't a guide, precisely, but I think it shows the reasoning behind why the lancer level is such a pain for most people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VsF000rueo The solution is to bring single-target guards, single-block vanguards, and defenders, which are the lowest priority units for every other map in the roguelike. (I believe they also have a relic that lowers redeployment times, which is a massive help too.)

I like the basic structure of it, but I think it's a little too random in a bad way. Like, if they give you nothing but medics for your first 4 tickets, you can't really recover from that. Actually, I think it's almost reversed from how it should be, in that later in the game they start giving you a choice between 2 different items or classes, but being able to choose would be far more meaningful early on. Not that roguelikes shouldn't be punishing, but the way it is now it's hard to make a meaningful choice early on as you're simply hoping to get a team that functions at all.

I do hope that a second roguelike has a ton more map options just to make the roadblock maps less likely to show up. Annoying as hell when a run dies because your only two options are Big Bob and Big Bob 2: Bigger Bob.

Yeah, most of my losses so far have been because I got the assault map and my only melee character is Jaye, or the emergency version of the early mortar map with no healing, or something similar. One particular run was doomed from the get-go because my starting vouchers were Specialist, Medic, Elite Medic. Jaye can do a lot, but he only attacks so fast.

I dunno, sometimes you get some really weird setups where you go "what the gently caress do I do with this" but then you figure a way out and it feels real good. Like the time I started with just E2 Weedy and Kroos, or the time I took free Earthspirit at the start as a leap of faith which turned out to be an amazing decision when I ran into lancer map. I beefed it in an unavoidable emergency Radioactive Dust map right before the floor 5 boss which really annoyed me. I didn't manage to get any +deploy slot upgrades, and I think I'm gonna make sure to try and get one or two of those next run because boy 6 deploy slots is simply not enough in later maps.

What I do is plant vanguards or fast deploys specialists to kill ~2 spiders each, starting from the right (with a guard/defender where I want one to eventually be). Usually they'll die after the second, but if they don't you undeploy them anyway. That's, uh, about it? It's not that complicated. Oh yeah, there's also a final spider that might need to be blocked so it doesn't explode in the middle of everyone during Big Bob. My biggest risk these days is a flier getting through since there aren't many ranged slots.
