I don't think there was a visual effect so you're stuck just paying attention to which one he absorbs and then eyeballing at least 5k damage. Once he starts taking damage again it should be broken
FRD or summon the non-shield gears closest to him to feed them to him

I like her a lot. Whole lot of determination, work ethic, and presence on top of all the creative stuff she does that's a lot of fun.
She was a happy rich kid who got her life turned upside down and then worked herself to the bone expressing that through music and theater to make mad dosh while having a whole lot of issues. Pretty neat character.
And then also she has mega missile spam and a lot of synergy both with her bandmates and just in general, and that's fun. Just used her in IS6 with the +2 SP on attack coin, that was sick.

I have a soft spot for her because if I had a daughter she would be around the same age, and if she chose me over comfort and luxury the same way it would keep me from turning out the way her father did. If it came down to it I would set myself on fire to keep my children warm.

Yeah it's more fun than I thought. Kind of overwhelming with all the systems and side modes though I like that the gameplay has real strategy to it. And I was always interested in the setting but felt it was too late to start. I was bored a few weeks ago, made an account, and lucked into Sakiko then scrambled to get the rest. It's satisfying clearing a stage with the band even if I can't afford to promote them yet.

>>559014675
Not the same thing more or less because on average the different roguelites/roguelikes we purchase are unique. Isaac is very different from Dead Cells even if both play are in the same genre and Dead Cells and Blasphemous should play the same but are nothing like each other.
Meanwhile you play one 3d gacha and you may have as well played them all.

The people developing games are the ones who played games now. Nintendo infamously had a policy of not hiring people who played a lot of videogames because they'd be less original. While a lot questioned it, it is extremely apparent in all media, not just video games. People who do a lot of something are more likely to be interested in making it themselves, but the youthful with low amounts of reference inevitably start from what they consider "base" without realizing how derivative they are being. Their standards for creativity themselves is limited as many haven't left Plato's Cave.

As a person who played HSR. Their roguelike mode simulated universe is god awful. They try to add all the relics/random buffs and synergies, but it's all the same. I wouldn't even look, just picked whatever to get to the next node faster. Don't need to read anything, it all boils down to two things. It lets your party do more damage, or take less damage. And the HP inflation just means you end up watching the same 4 ultimate over and over and over auto battling. And unlike Arknights, their roguelike mode is tied to your weekly quests so you can't just ignore it. The only thing HSR has going for it is it's story and even that's going down the drain.

Because she has multiplicative skills? She benefits a lot from buffs, but she also gets hit hard by debuffs. I recommend restarting the game if you get this debuff, or recruiting a lot of pipis to reduce the chances of your carry operator getting cancer

What >>559018754 said
It's why if you use an ability to increase an operator's attack by 50% (and they are physical) you are probably doing like double damage
And why defenders can become so unbelievably goddamn tanky
Like increasing a sniper's attack by 10% when they have 500 means a 50% increase in damage against a 400 def enemy, and this is also what makes crit talents actually valuable on operators like Kroos

It's kind of a failed mess.
I get that I'm supposed to stock up DP and only deploy after his 25s spear nuke that spawns gears and that I need to cap off deployment order with something tanky.
Whisperain negative taunt module lets her drop in without cover
I get that I can't deploy something in the adjacent 4 tiles or it'll explode.
I get that I should be baiting with an frd or 2 to keep shots away from everyone else.
Slingshots end up killing Platinum I just can't keep her alive despite 2 healers so I haven't found out if she can kill the drones yet. DP's tight so I can't do an april run on the drone before it reaches the right side and starts coming forward.
The spear mercenaries kill croissant as soon as her skill goes down. Same with Viviana and her shields two healers just can't do it.
Phalanx def isn't good enough they just die even with skill down

You can use this to make a gameplan. Search your ops on the right, select skills and drag them on the map. Use the arrow keys to see where enemies go, how long they idle, the order they come out etc.

Niche 6*s are fun to build around yeah, weightless team or even challenge stuff like liberi only.

Even "bad" or niche 6*s are way stronger than people give them credit for when compare to top tier 5*s.

Hell yeah, let's do it.
>>559021626
I'm just thinking something like x event, y limitation(s), like for example one week it's Under Tides 4* only, or maybe squad size 8 max, or melee only, or no [random class]. Maybe with multiple things so people can pick or choose what they can do so newcuties can get into it.
>>559022278
Wouldn't take any time at all for me to code it. If we figure out what stuff we want included in the datasets I could toss up some little static site that automatically rerolls stuff every week.

I've no idea about toolmaking but for gimmicks it should be easy
>Most major races or at least those with enough ops to either fill a team or be viable can be their own gimmicks
>Factions
>Classknights
>Skin lines
>Colours (since /akg/ can't into them, just sort by very clear cut hair colours or outfits/nicknames)
>Ops whose name starts with (letter)
>Said month's or week's birthday ops
>Ops who appear in said event
>More in depth gimmicks like only unhealables, ops that summon, only ranged ops, only melee ops, Infected, Uninfected, taller or shorter than Y height

Multiple is better not just for newcuties but for people who don't have that many ops raised or maybe by chance just lack a gimmick's roster due to personal taste. Pros can flex their limited clears and everyone else can do their for fun rolls.

I can throw out a simple general ruleset if you want it.
Let's say you have to clear a number of specific stages.
You can only use X 6*s, Y 5*s, and Z 4*s across all stages, and they can only be used once each (think garrisons)
No limit on 3*s and under.
Could also apply squad limits per stage if you want, but I'm not sure if it's needed if XYZ are restricted enough.

Dunno what your rules are but if what kills you is the arts bombardment, can't you throw Asbestos in as a 5* that tanks Arts a lot. Or Bassline. If using 4* Mousse might not help with nukes but helps tank the guy normally.

I think that's fair game. I think ideally a weekly challenge wouldn't be overly strict, and would be less a competition and more a conversation starter, like "hey guys check out my cool solution to this random stage."

It's probably better to have simple, objective rules in general rather than having to argue and calculate. Race, class, rarity, color, maybe year of release if there's an easy resource for that, faction theme, outfit theme (e.g. beach week, Halloween outfits only, etc). Maybe consider it all or nothing on some of those, like defenderknights versus everythingbutdefendertknights.

Ok, here's a quick challenge i came up with.
You must beat WD-EX-8 CM with the following restrictions:
- Your squad can only have one 6*, that 6* must have been available during the event's original run. See picrel for a list of legal ops.
- You are only allowed one operator of each class in your squad.

Newbie here. I have a question about the difficulty/mechanics.
I noticed in those simulation paradox stages that you sometimes need to perfectly time the withdrawal of some units, just so you can deploy them again in some other spot. And sometimes this happens twice during one stage.
Is this just unique to simulation paradox or will later levels or endgame modes have the same gimmick?

>>
>>559032417
for the most part levels where you can bring your own shit will have enough flexibility for you to do whatever you want with basic leeway for mistakes/repositioning. how strict it gets largely depends on how much you're intending on purposefully crippling yourself.
paradox sims are just puzzle stages and for a lot of the low rarity ones they just do that because the shilled op can't really do anything else to make you engage with the map

That's right bitch, get stunned mid Michael Jordan. I screwed this one up pretty badly by letting him land the first groundpound and killing my fully charged Amiya, but still fun.
I think I will go back on my previous decision and do all the EX's I skipped on prior events once this event is over and my stamina can be spent on things other than gel. It's just a lot of fun, and the regular mode stages are honestly no longer challenging for this team. Even this, MN-EX-8, still only took me one try. But still fun to do, and I'll want to clear it all eventually anyways so I might as well. What's the rush trying to be perfectly optimal with my stamina usage?
Ambriel was interesting this chapter, she was very good at shooting down drones to get the various item rewards they drop. She does good damage, her attack is sky high, but it's a bit hard to predict where she's going to shoot and has a habit of wasting all her attacks on enemies that Humus is easily mowing down. I will have to give her more thought.
I've only got two more events left that I have fully cleared and can practice mode my way through before I'm fully caught up with where I was when I quit, those being Mansfield Break and Who is Real. Jobberton should be a fun revisit, but I do remember Free being a bit of a cunt especially in EX. Then come Friday the gel farming event ends and I can go use my stamina to reclear the EX's I skipped for Twilight, Darknights, Gavial, and Walk in the Dust, and then finally back onto chapter 10.

WD-EX-8 is just a lot of stalling when you apply challenge restrictions to it. As a guy who did a few challenge clears when it released, its pretty much just a lot of Ambriel. Due to 5 lanes, I don't see how you do this without a summoner. The other big problem is the Drone which is best dealt with quickly. You can probably replace Eyja with Amiya, but Eyja also collats the strikers pretty easily.

If you're referring to me using Gitano, that's honestly just because I'm doing a challenge run where I don't get to pick my units. Of the 4*s I've randomly added Gitano has the highest arts DPS especially with her skill up hitting more than one target. If I were picking characters I would definitely replace her with Pudding in 99% of circumstances even among 4* casters.

Here's your monthly report on /akg/.
We've had our slowest month ever last month, in both posts and threads. /end/ has surpassed our highest posts per month ever, but not our threads per month.
With about 2.6x our posts last month, /end/ has had a MUCH higher post per minute average, of 4.2 posts per minute compared to our 1.6 posts per minute.
Only changes I made is I added the retards who made threads with /akg/ in the name field instead of the subject field, which thankfully wasn't many (less than 10 threads since 2020), /end/ hasn't had any of those yet if you're curious.

NTE, Ananta, whatever other dogshit 3D gacha, will continue to just fail to take from Genshin's pie like Endfield did. It's clear Endfield is just getting mostly the same audience as Arknights though, so what 3D loving players those gachas do attract will be not be dropping Endfield.
>>
>>559035647
As long as we get more than one thread a day that's good enough for me. Once a general hits more than 24 hours a thread that's when things are unrecoverable. Honestly it feels like we have sped up a little bit since the endpocalypse. I expect as more and more players realize how empty it is they will trickle back and things will start to equalize.

Why? Ave Mujica is shit and gamba rooms were just the same handful of people. There were very few times where they filled up to 30 but they were mostly empty.
Also gamba rooms, jigsaw puzzles, and other stuff gets crossposted from the other /akg/ to here in case you weren't aware.

>>559035647
The impression I had is that it was going full steam here for the month or two before Endfield launched, then things slowed to a crawl for at least a couple weeks (I posted way more in /end/ during that time myself), but I think I'm probably not the only /akg/ regular getting filtered by how tedious Endfield is, I was just probably one of the quicker ones to give up on it. It's inevitable that it would get a lot of people since it's less niche and probably draws a lot of people looking for an excuse to quit whatever shit 3D gacha they've been caught up in. Who knows, I'd hate to see /akg/ wind down, I have fun posting here.

We'll probably have to wait for this month to see if people start coming back from Endfield I guess.
Also it's pretty interesting the way the collabs had an effect.

The name of the stage The Spread also hints at what you should do. How do you stop something from spreading? You put it in containment. The gimmick of the stage is to let the Brandguiders wall to the middle cage and kill them there, some tactical enemy gating needed in Emergency. If you don't Spewers nuke everyone and Predators go sicko mode.

Yurifags are so starved for content they will take any story that shows two girls making eye contact as yuri.
As a cunnychad I can empathize with them. It sucks when you like something non mainstream and are constantly ridiculed for it and it barely exists. It tends to make you a little extreme in your thinking. Pity us and be thankful you happened to luck out liking the most popular thing.

Yeah I don't think "I love you" multiple times, including specifically the romantic version of that, is innuendo. It's literally maintext. It was written by a yurifag.
There's so much heated debate across the internet about the two because it is explicitly romantic due to the incest.

There is no incest, they never kiss and rarely even touch. Sorry yurifag, again I sympathize with you but trying to force your fetish where it doesn't exist is exactly why people don't like our kind.
Even if you want to stretch things to the breaking point of believability it's completely one sided and sakiko doesn't even show the slightest hint of romantic feelings. So at the best which isn't even true it's one sided. I know you're starving for water but have a little dignity.

There's a fair amount of yuri stuff I like but it's so creepy and weird when people try to read it into every interaction. I don't know if people were always like this but it feels like it got way worse in the 2010s when kids with no social skills went on Tumblr and started getting sexuality and identity mixed up with personality.

Faggots want to destroy the concept of friendship and make any two same sex people being in the same room as a hidden homosexual relationship. Same reason there are mountains of faggy memes about frodo and sam.
They have no concept of love outside of sexuality. I love my best friend and would do anything for him. Anything except suck his dick because love doesn't automatically mean sex.
Older languages used to have different versions of the word love for exactly this reason.

Spot on the money, I've been on 4chan since almost the beginning. And for a long time no one had a problem with yuri, it was just hot seeing girls kissing. It wasn't until people started making sex their personality that people got annoyed with it and it just keeps getting worse.
Notice how they barely even talk about the interesting parts of uika like her fantasizing about murdering the other girls. It's just sex sex sex all day long.

I watched the sub and being a yurifag means you pay attention to which is actually being said whenever it comes up. They actually use both the romantic and more ambiguous versions of the word in different scenes.
Although you shouldn't need to know which version was said or when since it's so goddamn gay even outside that.

Same, it was never like this back then. I feel sorry for them, since they're just a bunch of confused kids who never had friends and never learned what it's like to get along with people in a normal way, but the fact that they turned their unsocialized confusion into that absurd queer bestiary did them no favors developmentally and continues to do active harm to any social movement they try to insinuate themselves into.

You didn't understand that scene. It's impossible to talk about Uika without her obsession with Sakiko because it defines her on every level. She doesn't fantasize about murdering the other girls, she had a call of the void moment because she was freaking out over losing Sakiko. And no shit yurifags joke about sex sex sex, it's 4chan. Hornyposts are everywhere but somehow it's a problem when it's the wrong kind of hornyposts.

God RA is just awful. Like it's not even remotely fun. The entire fog of war thing should just fuck right off, it's not fun, it's not interesting, the way to play around it is to load in, scout everything out, then quit and load your save so you don't waste your action points. That's awful. That's an awful game experience. There never should have been fog of war in this game mode, and whoever designed it should be dragged out back and shot.

Or maybe don't micro so hard and stick with your less than optimal wood collecting rotation.
After you get your first harvester things go smoothly. and after the first boss you have like unlimited time so why bother with the "save scumming". I find it that it just frustrates more in games where there is not much harm done without.

The resource gathering maps are fine albeit unfun. The problem are the combat nodes. If it's combat, it should play like arknights. I should not have to go find the fuckass I'm supposed to kill, just to have them wander around and walk away from my stationary units.
The game is not meant to work this way. It is a tower defense game. You have tortured it so far beyond what it was meant to be that it has become actively unfun. This is just miserable. I am not enjoying myself at all playing this.

Wait until thursday/friday. There should be something called an Orienteering banner coming out that will let you choose 3 out of 6 six stars of your choice to roll for. It's going to be a great time to reroll.

>>559045883
As a guy who RA clicks for and has seriously been waiting for RA3, it's very much a mode that is about enjoying improving your processes with greater knowledge and resources. I enjoyed the sense of discovery and finding out what was in the fog. It's AK trying to be a survival game and vastly more enjoyable if you like the going from dirt to God feeling. If you know what you're doing, you're able to completely walk over everything in the mode and make it your playground.
You probably already have your opinion set in stone, but I really do hope you try to get into it more and take the hits on the chin. Everything in RA has a trivial solution to be figured out and I found that design amazing.
>>
>>559051028
There's not much reason for new players to be rolling on any current banners, no. I would sit tight until Silverash Alter comes out. If you're desperately itching to roll you can roll on Mantra who should be here soon and is a nice crowd control caster.

>>559051028
Current banners suck, yeah. Vina is all around bad.
As for the other banner:
Fiammetta is pretty good but not a beginner operator.
Penance is great but takes too much investment for a new player and is an archetype that might be a little less approachable early on.
Cantabile is amazing but she's not a must-have early on.
Harmonie is good as a vanity build but isn't worth the investment for a new player.
Spuria is one of the worst operators in the game.
Don't pull on anything until the Silverash/Pramanix limited banner in a couple months. You'll get far, FAR more mileage out of whoever comes home through recruitment in the meantime than you will wasting pulls on the next few banners.

There are no big guides for RA at least that I'm aware of, just random tips and tricks to be picked up, and I'm one of the guys who gives them out here.

It's hard to know where to start, but generally
>use food and tools
>run squads of 6, bringing a full 12 squad is for the big things
>resource gathering is mainly gathering hubs and DPS
>FRD in general are great, just flexible for a lot of things including hunting
>global range cheeses the mode and is especially great for hunting
>goats run away from the first operator that attacks them, but stand still on a cooldown after that for a second operator to finish the job
>use food and tools
>be on the lookout for cracked rocks to reveal new sections of the map
>raids are best handled as fast as possible
>gathering hubs can be used for scouting
>use your gold willy-nilly, it only accumulates and there's nothing to particularly save it for
>use food and tools
>bosses have mechanics which require solutions
I really cannot stress enough the use food and tools part. The buffs food provide is amazing while you can reroute enemies, give camo and stun immunity, and buff your squad in general with crafting. There's a lot of specific problems in the mode, but it's hard to give advice on any one until you get to them because there's so many of them.

This is pretty much how I feel about it as well
It's very rough at first but you start to view your operators differently and figure out some of the quirks of the mode, then get some stable supplies and basic equipment, keep exploring for new resources for new stuff, and eventually it clicks.
Then later when you hit endgame you build a giant maze of a base with traps and turrets and let multiple raids attack you at once to see if you can take on 200 mobs with operators on permanent duration double boosted food buffs under multiple equipment bonuses with an SP feeding bard next to them.
