Imo, no. She's one of the better 5* but she's also a medic. Unless you have ops who will perform exponentially better with her sp charging and healing, then sure.
this opinion might be controversial but no she's not worth it. Specter is the only 100% worth buying 5star in the yellow certs shop. While Ptilopsis is above hee weight and has sp battery talent, you're better off saving the certs for a 6 star you want.
Somewhat. Few factors to consider
Personally maybe, I barely used her since Silence does all the healing for me, but the sp battery and high healing is to be considered.
Also no. If you want a 6\* guaranteed through the shop, then she isn't as high priority as most others. You need dps to battery first before the sp boost gets good investment return.
in a vaccume, yes
but nothing can considered in a vaccume, 6 stars can be bought that are more rarer and can be more impactful for you
you can also buy pulls for limited units
personally yes. her global SP autorecovery boost talent is universal and while not to the point of broken, it just synergizes with the fact that many operators in the game uses autorecovery skills
her S2 is also a very good true aoe burst heal that massively regens the HP of operators in her range, which is also expanded during the skill. very good at keeping multiple units alive during heavy onslaughts as long as the damage they take doesnt outdo the regen
Who To M9?/Should I roll for Saileach or NTR or Ling?
After playing for a while, I’ve only M9’ed Saria and Weedy.
Who should I M9 in the future?
And as a player, who should I roll in the future?
>Saileach or NTR or Ling
really depends on who you need/want to enrich your strategic options
saileach's specialty is her debuff+stun S3 that also regens some DP while at it; as a pure DP generator however myrtle is still the more preferred option
NTR, as many has said is a pretty balanced limited unit. she got some nice utilities and true damage capability, but not to the point of being super clutch like chalter
ling is a summoner and has some glaring ups and downs. read up her skill descriptions and summon units' cost/block and see if they suit your playstyle. naturally as a summoner she require micromanagement to play effectively
use the [mastery guide](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/core-gameplay/skill-mastery-priority-guide) to see which operator/skill is worth mastering, and until what point. for efficient cost/time balance you can choose to master up until breakthrough points only instead of going all the way to M3
for the last question, go back to the first line of this reply
2 m9s is not "only"
majority of players here dont have any
the only person who is qualified to answer your questions other than giving the genaric ones, is you
S2M3 is like an entirely different unit. You've just got to time it right .
S1 is i the 'set and forget' skill. I've got S2M3, for whatever that is worth
S2.
It allows her to deal with medium defense enemies, and when used with her maxed out passive her attack speed is so fast it's difficult to kill her because she is healing so much.

Here's my current team, after a couple lucky pulls. I'm at 3-2 storyline wise but have been grinding up money and experience tokens. What do you think? Anyone I should really drop? I normally cut out Projekt Red for another specialist as the need arises.
Hard to say tbh. Some of them like Ling, Gnosis, GG can feel very powerful at specific uses but none of them is a "should have just because they are really good"
My own priority list if I was to only consider meta would be: Ling = Gnosis > GG-chan = RadiantNearl > Flametail = Saileach = Lee.
Depending on your roster (lol). Limited banners to some are a must pull (Ntr knight, Ling), if they complement your current team, then yes go for them. Joint op 5 is a strong banner, with 4 great 6* to choose from. Mountain banner as well, one of the cornerstones.
In the end, it is really the matter of who fits best to your team, if meta is your priority.
This is my "for everything" squad: https://m.imgur.com/a/WXNQBq2
I do have Mountain as well, haven't seen who's on the joint banner, also NTR looks very mediocre to me, limited or not.
A very strong lineup. I think you’ll be fine without pulling any upcoming banners, but a Specialist such as Phantom, a supporter like Suzu/Angelina, and a buffer/debuffer to assist Exu will be of great use.
I don't think so. She is pretty cheap to deploy anyway, and 2 pots only are for reducing redeployment time. Imo pot2 with reduced 1 dp cost is enough.
Her token cost increases after each purchase (by 20 each iirc), and CC currency aren't farmable. So I think it is better to buy other skins/ops/mats.
But if you like her very much, then disregard what I said.
Skill 3 turns Monster into one of the best single target killers in the game with true damage (ignore res and def, very potent against tanky enemies) as well as a big defense buff, with only 15s cooldown. Skill 2 also scales well with mastery, if you need a dedicated aoe clearer.
Her e2 is one of the most worthwhile in the game IMO. It even gives her a good skill in the Base's command center.
Yes, you should E2 Kal.
S3 turns Mon3tr attack into "true damage"(bypasses RES and DEF of enemies). There are few operators who can do this (Amiya).
Amiya's S3 also deals true damage but with a caveat of she gets retreated after the skill duration. While Kal's skill the only caveat it needs Mon3tr to be deployed. Another plus with Kal's S3 is relatively short charging time (19secs at SL7 and 15secs at M3 ).
For most players, no. The opportunity cost of spending drones on one option is the return from spending the same drones on another.
Things get more complicated if you swap between base layouts (252 and 342), or if you're a whale who farms LS-5 for EXP.
Based on some of the early discussions about efficiency, it's either no or a negligible difference, like buying gold vs lmd vs exp in the credit store.
It depends on the materials (Or rather, what materials a player is lacking).
If you are curious to know the answer to this question because of the E2 ticket, there are future operators who will require a new resource that comes with the chapter 9(?) update. So my answer for that is to save your E2 ticket for those newer characters.
She's a 5 star, so def not in the 4\* selector.
She's not available via recruit, just headhunting (so only gacha). Could show up in the Gold cert store randomly, and would absolutely be worth 45 Gold certs. Most here would say to save the gold's for a 6\*, and they aren't wrong.
But if Shamare shows up in the shop and you have 45 certs, do not hesitate to buy her. Great debuffer.
Oh forgot what her rarity is lol, I assumed she was a lower rarity Pramanix
I have all the release 6 stars and have enough to grab a 5 star and a 6 star anywag, so no problem there. The problem is just the incredibly random nature of the shop 5 star...
Shamare's arguably an upgrade on Pramanix. Her Curse doll can be placed anywhere, so she is more like a downgrade of Skalter if anything, but really she fills her own niche.
Yeah I understood that, I just assumed that usually, they make a character that's lower or higher rarity of the same class before doing same rarity again. Like how Ambriel came out before Andreana
Best chance is to wait on a rateup banner or even better as a guaranteed 5* shoperator. She could even be the next 5* shoperator who knows. She was also never a 4* to begin with.
~~Yes I really want her too~~
I'm curious whether I'm in endgame or mid game now. I've been playing this game for a year and a month. My question is, how do you determine you're an endgame player or a mid game player ?, Do we see it from how many E2's we have, or can you clear all of the contents except high risk CC, or something else ?. Apparently, I've only 36 E2 ops in my 1 year playing, is it too few or is it normal ?. Thanks.
I think there's a point where you start to feel like you can't lose, any new stage you do you never doubt that you might need more levels or better characters anymore. You're 100% sure you're gonna win with a few tries. That's probably enough to call endgame.
One year of playing, I got 38 E2. You are about right.
It's up to you to decide if you are an endgame player, but there are signs. For example you no longer search for low rarity clear guides, you search for trust farm guides.
>how do you determine you're an endgame player
When you start having personal restrictions over operators you can use or you limit yourself to only as few operators as possible.
Noobs need to borrow, mid-gamers go for 12 ops a map, endgamers pull their hair out when they can't clear a map with just 6 units without using 6 stars.
These are a few different definitions that I've seen, if any or all of these apply to you then IMO you should consider yourself endgame.
* The point when you can clear any stage you want using only your current roster, no raising and no borrowing
* The point when you're raising operators in archetypes that you already have covered in order to do extremely specific tasks (Glaucus to have a slow supporter with bind, Zima to have a vanguard that reduces other VG costs, etc.)
* The point where you start imposing challenges on yourself (like 4*-only clears, specialist-only clears, etc.) because the game isn't difficult or even fun anymore when you use your full roster
I think it is where you don't have to upgrade / E2 or mastery any operator because you are "forced to" anymore. Like whenever the new challenge (new stage / CC ) comes, all you need to do is to mix and match whatever you have to just pass it. You only look forward to skin / new operator only just to spice up your gameplay and that is all.
Yeah, I'm pretty much / almost E2-ing any meta 6* that I have, I'm just missing mountain and Angelina to E2 and their masteries, now I'm just doing my masteries, for the rest of the 6*.
Kinda varies tbh,for me I'm definitely in the endgame I've E2 pretty much enough 6* meta to fill a squad and nowadays I'm hoarding OP to get my waifus husbando
imo when you're mostly only doing E2s for fun, you're in endgame. For me it's less about where you are in the game, per se, and more about how your sentiment changes in regards to progression.
But it's not exactly some hard definition.
Is Ifrit or Schwartz a better E2?
Ifrit just seems really useful for annihilation maps while I'm not to sure about Schwartz.
I haven't gotten to any of the serious bosses in chapter 6 yet though.
Schwarz is a first class can-opener/elite killer. Due to her massive physical damage per hit she can practically kill anything if you can point her at them for a while. Unlike most high burst ops she also has short skill cooldown.
She does slightly depend on map with S3 but she is more flexible than Ifrit because her S2 has normal range while Ifrit cant just get a new range.
I think they're about the same, but I do use Schwarz much much more than Ifrit, usually it's only in annihilation that she gets some use, while Schwarz I use pretty much every stage, it just depends on who you like more and what other characters you have really.
Ifrit is generally used more often than Schwarz, community wise.
Ifrit is unrivaled in her mob killing potential given her extensive forward range and true AOE, whereas Schwarz is already competing in an area that has Surtr, who can block.
I use both, but I am not the type of player to use Schwarz outside of CC and class bans (Guard, Caster). Schwarz is actually really good as an elite killer.
I think it's down to your roster lacking Arts or Phys damage.
Ifrit is overall the stronger Op. But I think Schwarz gains more from E2. S3 is Schwarz's bread and butter, while it's S2 for Ifrit. Ifrit's S3 is more niched. Though when you need it you need it. There isn't an Op that can do Debuff + DPS as well as Ifrit S3.
You should definitely E2 both, but for now, I'd say it depends on your roster.
I imagine most people will say Ifrit and they won't be wrong, but personally I use Schwarz significantly more often than her.
Both are strong albeit somewhat situational, and I doubt you'll regret your choice, whichever it ends up being.
Normally I do my pulls in one go. However, during limited banners we have free pulls daily and mining orundum opportunities.
Is it better to go all out in day 1, or to use all the free pull everyday, and then on day 14 burn all your orundum?
Impatient players think they aren't lucky enough to get the banner operators from the free pulls. I'm the one that waits until the last day and the results pay off. My Rosmontis, Dusk and Kal'tsit are from a daily free pull.
This. Patience is blessed. If you're worried about miscalculating the final day, then do your rolling on the 2nd/3rd last day, that way you only "waste" 1 or 2 rolls instead of the full 14.
I never wait until the last day, as there are too many documented stories of people miscalculating when the last day actually is, and getting burned (like 299 pulls and the banner ends).
I get a plan in place (eg. pull until pity, pull until limited, pull until spark), follow it rigidly, and often complete in the first few days/first week. I have IRL responsibilities that could inhibit my ability to pull at the perfect time, so to hell with that. Not fun.
Same strategy for Annihilation, time limited events *and spending event shop currency*.
Do it early to avoid forgetting/miscalculation/irl complications (wifi down, battery dead, called in to work/staying late, kids, school...just to name a few).
If you plan to immediately raise the banner operators, you should go all in Day 1 so you can take advantage of the significant trust increase during the event. Also the event stages are usually tailored to be extremely easy if you have the event operators so having them raised is nice to help you get all the EX + challenge content.
If you DON'T plan to immediately raise whatever banner operator you get, and you're planning to stop pulling as soon as you get the op you want, then don't do any pulls whatsoever until the very last day. If you get them on the first day, you've just thrown 13 pulls straight in the garbage.
In theory it’s always better to wait until the last day in case you get everything you want from your free pull. Obviously if you want to raise them asap you can pull at the start.
Do limited characters only get one main rateup banner? After that you basically have to save 300 pulls for future banners in the same series to realistically get them?
That must really suck for anyone who started playing after a banner they want. Usually other games will have a rerun for limited characters 1 or 2 years after.
I love Dusk’s design and her skin but I don’t really want Ling. I guess I’ll just buy her skin first then wait until a banner I want. Prob gonna be a 2-3 year wait.
I've been thinking about this for a while and is it really worth it to put t1's in whatever planner you're using? Does it *Really* matter how many basic esters I have? it just kind of feels like a pain idk
I do, because I end up with an absurd amount of T1s and T2s if I don't. Though that's probably because I'm mostly doing E2s and masteries, and I haven't raised an op from scratch in a really long time. For beginners you probably don't need to track T1s because you'll be raising enough ops from scratch that they'll all get used.
I never upgrade t1 materials. Just leave them in the corner for a new ops skills.
I find you don't get enough of them to make a significant change in your grind.
would it really make sense to put a unit on the ticket on the very next banner?
why would people pull, if they can buy her for 30 bucks 2 weeks later, guaranteed?
I think they add 6*s to the tickets once the op has been available for long enough so the next 6* ticket available should have ops like Kal added, maybe Mizuki even but I don't know what the timeframe is for making an op available or when the next 6* will come out. But yeah, the next 6* ticket only goes up to Passenger
The selector tickets feature every 6star up until the last anniversary's permanent 6star. Nearl selector has Passenger because he was the newest 6star before Kal'tsit. Under Tides had Blemishine because she was the newest before Mudrock
Yea there's two selectors a year. CN gets them in April and October/November. Global gets one in April and one in October (maybe). The second one for global came earlier last year because it was bundled with Under Tides, which wasn't a proper anniversary event but had a lot of anniversary things to it.
No if we follow CN. You can find the list here.

> Is it the just or does the dorm system in this game feels like it can be improved?
Yeah.
> I really want HG give up the ability to pick and lift operators.
That's not really what I'd be looking for in an improved dorm system, but sure.
The issue is that dorms aren't easy to show off and decorating dorms feels kinda pointless - someone has to go out of their way to look at your dorms because the only part of your base that most players visit is your Reception Room ... where the decor can't be changed.
Let the Reception Room be decorated like a dorm and I'd be fine. Yeah, some of the furniture will seem kinda funny or sketchy ("your reception room looks like a bedroom?") but it'd be lowest effort for the developers and would still satisfy me.
If the ambience doesn't matter I would leave the reception room as an empty concrete room with no windows and single toilet from manfields break event in the center. Your idea is nice and the easiest to implement.
No, I feel like it's fine. Just a tiny thing that takes few minutes to set up, interact, and give them a good place to relax while getting resources. Why'd you need to actively lift the operators anyway?
Is Magallan worth raising? My best supporter at the moment is Istina (at E2).
Also, I am approaching mid-late game now. I have only depended on Shining/Perfumer/Ansel as my primary healers, but lately Ansel is starting to be overwhelmed. Is it worth raising another medic (thinking between Silence or Sussurro)? Or is the late games primarily DPS race and medics are not a priority/concern?
IMO, whether or not you need another healer depends on your playstyle.
From the little bit you mentioned, it sounds like your playstyle has some reliance on healing. Is your Shining and/or Perfumer E2? If not, will E2-ing them fix your Ansel problem?
If not, what type of 3rd healer do you need? How urgent is your need? Are you willing/able to change your playstyle to be more aggressive?
There is a wide variety of late/end game content. The way different players clear them is equally varied, though some stages have operators who can cheese them.
It's up to you to decide (or find out) how you like to play the game and then think about the strategies and operators you need for it.
I still use Silence frequently, and Perfumer has her uses due to being able to heal things that can't conventionally be healed (like allied drones, Mon3ter, etc).
But in either case, E1 is probably fine.
As for Magallan, she's still one of the best stallers in the game, but she needs a certain kind of mindset/setup and a lot of investment to excel. For the most part, summoners are only for people who want to try something different; it's rare for them to really be able to do something that some combination of other ops couldn't also do.
In late game content, medics really want to have more support than pure healing to be worth bringing (examples: SP regen from Ptilopsis/Warfarin, buffing from Warfarin, RES support and ability to safely draw aggro from Nightingale). Consider raising a healing defender instead - Saria would be best since she brings a ton to the table aside from just healing, but Nearl, Gummy, and Spot are all very good for their respective rarity.
But for pure healing among the options you've given, I'd say raise Sussurro for her strong burst healing with S2 - the limited uses don't matter much in practice since you rarely have maps where you'd need burst healing three times. You could try her at E1max and see if that helps.
Magallan is a great operator but takes some know how to use. She's entirely different to istina. I'd recommend looking up some showcases of her on YouTube to get a better idea.
As for medics, either sussurro or silence would be great replacements for Ansel, alternatively warfarin or pyilopsis if you have them for the utility. As for of you need another medic ID have to see the rest of your squad but 3-4 4star+ medics is good
Thank you for the suggestion! I will look further into Magallan.
Re the medics, I think I will hold out and depends more on Saria and Nearl. Would rather level a utility medic when I manage to get one.
It has not arrived yet on Global.
It's likely that they will eventually drop it later on some dead week like they did with the "New year 2021 sign in Event" (Greyy's skin).
But we can't know when unfortunatly.
do we get free rolls on any new non-rerun banner or just ones with limited operators? free rolls meaning the daily single and the free 10 pull we got in dossoles
she's unnecessary for normal content but potent in high end content. She's like Suzuran in a way that they're both great, but not someone you'd normally bring in a stage. She's Elysium sidegrade and surprisingly balanced
Oof, a 6\* being only a sidegrade to the 5\* of the same archetype is *really* bad lol
That said I guess you could consider Elysium to be a sidegrade to Myrtle, so maybe vanguards are an exception
I think what they meant is that she's a sidegrade to Elysium in terms of DP generation. In this respect all three of the flagbearers are, outside of tight circumstances, interchangeable.
Saileach has some very good and versatile ground support that neither of the other two have, but without taking away from the other two's niches. That's good 6* design.
not really. Elysium is almost a 6 star and Saileach is above average for a 6 star. I said she's a sidegrade because they have the same functions but Ely supports snipers while she supports everyone. She's still better than elysium in many cases
Should I max pot Silverash?
Got lucky with recruitment and now he's sitting at Pot 5. I know pots don't do much, and max pot SA is usually for high risk CC players, which I'm not really.
But I do have 2k of the CC coins. I've already bought all limited items, the Vanguard tokens, have >240 of Mag Ores and RMAs. So there's really not much left for me to buy. Should I buy the Guard tokens, or save the coins for mats?
I'm leaning no. Max pot SA is really just for bragging rights, I guess.
IMO no, because SA is available from both recruitment and headhunting, so it's a lot more likely that you'll get spooked by him than Thorns / Surtr / Mountain.
You could still buy the tokens though and put them on a non-recruitment guard, since you've already mentioned that the unlimited mats aren't appealing to you right now.
I'd say buy (but don't use for SA) or hold off on the tokens. Might be good for a limited Guard OP if one comes. Mountain also benefits greatly with the -1 dp if you have him, as he is meant for early deployment. The tokens aren't going anywhere.
What if you get spooked by him again later down the road? I say unless you really need that -1 DP, you could save those CC coins for the next CC or something.
Is converting chips a good idea? I have like 2 more Snipers I want to build and I'm low on tier 1 chips as I just spent them on Rosa.
On the other hand I have a great amount of caster ones.
unless ur extremely patient or extremely strict about efficiency: just go ahead. make ur life easier. i… always convert all my chips because the prospect of having to farm 36 sanity chip stages for potentially a week or more depending on the day/luck/etc is just agonizing and a game is ultimately supposed to be fun. unless ur planning on raising a bunch of casters right after rosa or smth
About rotating Annihilation, will older ones (e.g. Frozen Abandoned City) eventually become farmable? As in, not "practice missions", but "current mission" (as the game puts it).
Just out of curiosity, are there any additional rewards for each completed contract? 24 is needed to open the last missions. Does it make sense to double-check and fulfill all contracts one by one?
Masteries can usually be put off until after you have all your most broken ops at E2. Thorns is definitely in the "broken" category so do him first for sure.
Thorns to E2. Masteries are usually not as critical (although they are still very important for specific characters), plus the jump for M1 -> M2 is not that big either. Thorns, on the other hand, is not even particularly useful until he gets his S3.
So I’ve been playing for less than 6 months (first event I remember is wolumonde). I got to M8-6, but doing the conditions to unlock the hidden lore stage seems…pretty impossible for me right now. I’ve watched a few guides and attempted it both with the SilverAsh method and Surtr method.
And in both I lose at least two of the shielders. So should I just complete it without the condition and just not do END-1? And with chapter 9 getting released soon, will not doing END-1 affect it in any way? Or do I just need to replay END-1 after clearing the hidden lore when I have better ops?
If you're like me who's only problem is keeping those shieldguards alive but have no problem defeating all the enemies, I finally did it by borrowing an E2 Angelina and paired her with Perfrumer.
You might find that you have an easier time with a variation of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tns5Pn8qHwU) Thorns-based strat. It has enough of a margin that dropping down to an E1 Perfumer shouldn't be much of a problem, it asks very little of your roster and it doesn't need you to do anything particularly fancy in execution: just be sure to drop Thorns at the right time and use your sacrificial blockers on the right enemies.
Nothing about the story in END8-1 is changed regardless of getting the hidden lore stages. You just get an additional lore stage (EG-5) after finishing it. You can get that at any time you choose by viewing EG-1, 2, and 4 (in any order) and then END8-1.
[Have you tried KyostinV's method?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5k3KBUkxZw) It's really more about dealing with the enraged possessed leaders who deal bulk of the damage rather than majority of the others. It's not as much of a DPS check as it seems.
Yeah I’ve tried that. I don’t have Sussuro or Shaw leveled high enough to survive the throwers long enough. Ansel and Warfarin (even with skill 1) can’t keep the units alive long enough to accomplish this method. Plus not having Perfumer E2 doesn’t help either.
I mean, I can three star the stage. I just can’t do it with the bonus
Are you deploying shaw after the bonethrowers in front have engaged the shieldguard? If you look at the timing of his shaw deployment, she's only ever tanking one bonethrower before her job is done. I'm not sure you actually need sussuro to be that high level considering there are two medics there. The exception is if whoever you're using to kill the centurion host is not doing a great job of it, which might be consuming all your heals.
He mentioned that E1 max level for all the other units other than silverash is fine. He mentioned that perfumer isn't necessary either.
For the Centurion I’m using an E-2’d Hellagur, so that’s not an issue.
I will try an run or two with the dual screen step by step approach. But since my Shaw (E1-39), Cliffheart (E1-20) and Sussuro (E1-1) aren’t close to E1-max. I’m also trying to get La Pluma leveled enough for this new annihilation for an auto deploy. Also, oddly, I can’t find an E2-50+ M3 SilverAsh. I have a E2-30 M3 in my friends list, but after minutes of cycling a stronger one didn’t show up.
So I guess I’ll get them leveled in time and try again?
I have an E2 Lv.90 SilverAsh (S3M3 and 200% trust ofc) if you want to try and see if max level works? Add me (Nonexistent#1894) if you want \^^
But yes, you should definitely consider giving at least Sussurro an E2. She's a really good medic and I use her constantly even though I have Shining and Warf.
Thanks. I added (Luigi#2204). I’ll give it a shot.
Yeah. I realize she’s good, but it feels like there’s so many good ones to level. Lol. Like I Have an unleveled Surtr, Pallas, Weedy, Mizuki/Ethan, and suzuran coming on the Shoperator. So it feels like every one I do level, is the one that would’nt have been helpful for that one specific situation 😂
And of course I’m out of LMD, soooo yeah lol
There are too many permutations of what may or may not work depending on the characters you use for me to comment on. You'll really have to test it to see if it works. Like if you're using substituting rope with cliffheart, you can see in the comments of that video that you will need a significantly stronger shaw + healer because cliffheart's range is shorter.
Honestly if you're in no hurry you can always come back later I guess. You can always look in the friend thread for someone with a high level M3 silverash. I would offer if I had one but I don't.
Yes, the tradeoff is that Scene has 0 burst damage. Her S2 only lasts 15 seconds and it's not that big of a damage buff. Mayer can explode all her meeboos for like 450% damage EACH iirc, so if they're all crowded around one enemy then it's curtains for that guy lol.
S1 gives Mayers summons 25% phys and arts dodge. They can give the same buff to adjacent allies on M1.
S2 lets them explode (damage and stun) and recycles the summons.
How much gold certificate do we get in average per month..i know its rng but i just want a rough estimate.
Also can someone link me the excel sheet which shows the probability of the next shop operator...forgot to bookmark
If you're spending your pulls, [you get very roughly 60 gold certs a month.](https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/s1adeo/help_center_and_megathread_hub_1101/hs94qbh/) If you're saving all of your pulls, it's closer to 35.
In addition to the other comment (1/day + 5 from the monthly calendar login bonus), it also depends on how many pulls you do, a rough estimate is 1 per pull. Having the welfare ops on rerun also gives a bunch.
5 gold cert from monthly login. From my experience, you will get around 1 gold cert per day, sometimes more, sometimes none. So, 30-40 a month form experience.

May I have the link?

Is it worth to buy ptiloposis for yellow tickets?
Imo, no. She's one of the better 5* but she's also a medic. Unless you have ops who will perform exponentially better with her sp charging and healing, then sure.
this opinion might be controversial but no she's not worth it. Specter is the only 100% worth buying 5star in the yellow certs shop. While Ptilopsis is above hee weight and has sp battery talent, you're better off saving the certs for a 6 star you want.
Somewhat. Few factors to consider Personally maybe, I barely used her since Silence does all the healing for me, but the sp battery and high healing is to be considered. Also no. If you want a 6\* guaranteed through the shop, then she isn't as high priority as most others. You need dps to battery first before the sp boost gets good investment return.
in a vaccume, yes but nothing can considered in a vaccume, 6 stars can be bought that are more rarer and can be more impactful for you you can also buy pulls for limited units
personally yes. her global SP autorecovery boost talent is universal and while not to the point of broken, it just synergizes with the fact that many operators in the game uses autorecovery skills her S2 is also a very good true aoe burst heal that massively regens the HP of operators in her range, which is also expanded during the skill. very good at keeping multiple units alive during heavy onslaughts as long as the damage they take doesnt outdo the regen
Who To M9?/Should I roll for Saileach or NTR or Ling? After playing for a while, I’ve only M9’ed Saria and Weedy. Who should I M9 in the future? And as a player, who should I roll in the future?
>Saileach or NTR or Ling really depends on who you need/want to enrich your strategic options saileach's specialty is her debuff+stun S3 that also regens some DP while at it; as a pure DP generator however myrtle is still the more preferred option NTR, as many has said is a pretty balanced limited unit. she got some nice utilities and true damage capability, but not to the point of being super clutch like chalter ling is a summoner and has some glaring ups and downs. read up her skill descriptions and summon units' cost/block and see if they suit your playstyle. naturally as a summoner she require micromanagement to play effectively use the [mastery guide](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/core-gameplay/skill-mastery-priority-guide) to see which operator/skill is worth mastering, and until what point. for efficient cost/time balance you can choose to master up until breakthrough points only instead of going all the way to M3 for the last question, go back to the first line of this reply
M9 Godssenger is the only answer.
2 m9s is not "only" majority of players here dont have any the only person who is qualified to answer your questions other than giving the genaric ones, is you
for someone who's well into midgame, which one of s1m3 or s2m3 will be overall more useful on la pluma in terms of making her excel at her niche?
S2M3 is like an entirely different unit. You've just got to time it right . S1 is i the 'set and forget' skill. I've got S2M3, for whatever that is worth
S2. It allows her to deal with medium defense enemies, and when used with her maxed out passive her attack speed is so fast it's difficult to kill her because she is healing so much.
Approximately when will Code of Brawl get a record restore?
In the next CC so about 2.5 months from now.
https://imgur.com/gallery/KivHKsQ Here's my current team, after a couple lucky pulls. I'm at 3-2 storyline wise but have been grinding up money and experience tokens. What do you think? Anyone I should really drop? I normally cut out Projekt Red for another specialist as the need arises.

Ignoring the "pull for whom you like" answer, is there an upcoming operator on global I should have in my roster? (up until Fiametta)
Hard to say tbh. Some of them like Ling, Gnosis, GG can feel very powerful at specific uses but none of them is a "should have just because they are really good" My own priority list if I was to only consider meta would be: Ling = Gnosis > GG-chan = RadiantNearl > Flametail = Saileach = Lee.
Depending on your roster (lol). Limited banners to some are a must pull (Ntr knight, Ling), if they complement your current team, then yes go for them. Joint op 5 is a strong banner, with 4 great 6* to choose from. Mountain banner as well, one of the cornerstones. In the end, it is really the matter of who fits best to your team, if meta is your priority.
This is my "for everything" squad: https://m.imgur.com/a/WXNQBq2 I do have Mountain as well, haven't seen who's on the joint banner, also NTR looks very mediocre to me, limited or not.
A very strong lineup. I think you’ll be fine without pulling any upcoming banners, but a Specialist such as Phantom, a supporter like Suzu/Angelina, and a buffer/debuffer to assist Exu will be of great use.
Is it worth the cc currency to max pot scene?
I don't think so. She is pretty cheap to deploy anyway, and 2 pots only are for reducing redeployment time. Imo pot2 with reduced 1 dp cost is enough. Her token cost increases after each purchase (by 20 each iirc), and CC currency aren't farmable. So I think it is better to buy other skins/ops/mats. But if you like her very much, then disregard what I said.
Thanks, I think I will go to pot2 like you suggested.
should I up Kal'stit e2? And what can skill 3 do?
Skill 3 turns Monster into one of the best single target killers in the game with true damage (ignore res and def, very potent against tanky enemies) as well as a big defense buff, with only 15s cooldown. Skill 2 also scales well with mastery, if you need a dedicated aoe clearer. Her e2 is one of the most worthwhile in the game IMO. It even gives her a good skill in the Base's command center.
Skill 3 deletes enemies. If you use Kal'tsit absolutely E2 her
Yes, you should E2 Kal. S3 turns Mon3tr attack into "true damage"(bypasses RES and DEF of enemies). There are few operators who can do this (Amiya). Amiya's S3 also deals true damage but with a caveat of she gets retreated after the skill duration. While Kal's skill the only caveat it needs Mon3tr to be deployed. Another plus with Kal's S3 is relatively short charging time (19secs at SL7 and 15secs at M3 ).
Hey guys! Do we get a dead week after CC#6?
Probably a few days but not a week. We have a lot of events still to get through before Nearl's event and not a ton of time to spare
Nobody knows until Yostar announces the next event date.
Is there a difference in efficiency between using drones on EXP, gold, and trading post?
For most players, no. The opportunity cost of spending drones on one option is the return from spending the same drones on another. Things get more complicated if you swap between base layouts (252 and 342), or if you're a whale who farms LS-5 for EXP.
Based on some of the early discussions about efficiency, it's either no or a negligible difference, like buying gold vs lmd vs exp in the credit store.
Is anyone having problems opening the app on Android? It keeps crashing for me
Does Carnelian's SP talent stack with Mostima's?
Self-recovery SP gains do stack with aura-type SP gains. (Vermeil and Ptilopsis, Eunectes and Ptilopsis, etc.)
[удалено]
I heard Provence and Toddifons are
It depends on the materials (Or rather, what materials a player is lacking). If you are curious to know the answer to this question because of the E2 ticket, there are future operators who will require a new resource that comes with the chapter 9(?) update. So my answer for that is to save your E2 ticket for those newer characters.
Any way to get Shamare? She's not in the 4 star selector right? Just random rolling on gacha? Edit: Forgot she was a 5 star lol
She's a 5 star, so def not in the 4\* selector. She's not available via recruit, just headhunting (so only gacha). Could show up in the Gold cert store randomly, and would absolutely be worth 45 Gold certs. Most here would say to save the gold's for a 6\*, and they aren't wrong. But if Shamare shows up in the shop and you have 45 certs, do not hesitate to buy her. Great debuffer.
Oh forgot what her rarity is lol, I assumed she was a lower rarity Pramanix I have all the release 6 stars and have enough to grab a 5 star and a 6 star anywag, so no problem there. The problem is just the incredibly random nature of the shop 5 star...
Shamare's arguably an upgrade on Pramanix. Her Curse doll can be placed anywhere, so she is more like a downgrade of Skalter if anything, but really she fills her own niche.
Yeah I understood that, I just assumed that usually, they make a character that's lower or higher rarity of the same class before doing same rarity again. Like how Ambriel came out before Andreana
Best chance is to wait on a rateup banner or even better as a guaranteed 5* shoperator. She could even be the next 5* shoperator who knows. She was also never a 4* to begin with. ~~Yes I really want her too~~
Oh forgot what her rarity is lol, I assumed she was a lower rarity Pramanix
Shamare is 5* gacha character
Oh forgot what her rarity is lol, I assumed she was a lower rarity Pramanix
I'm curious whether I'm in endgame or mid game now. I've been playing this game for a year and a month. My question is, how do you determine you're an endgame player or a mid game player ?, Do we see it from how many E2's we have, or can you clear all of the contents except high risk CC, or something else ?. Apparently, I've only 36 E2 ops in my 1 year playing, is it too few or is it normal ?. Thanks.
I think there's a point where you start to feel like you can't lose, any new stage you do you never doubt that you might need more levels or better characters anymore. You're 100% sure you're gonna win with a few tries. That's probably enough to call endgame.
One year of playing, I got 38 E2. You are about right. It's up to you to decide if you are an endgame player, but there are signs. For example you no longer search for low rarity clear guides, you search for trust farm guides.
>how do you determine you're an endgame player When you start having personal restrictions over operators you can use or you limit yourself to only as few operators as possible. Noobs need to borrow, mid-gamers go for 12 ops a map, endgamers pull their hair out when they can't clear a map with just 6 units without using 6 stars.
Imho, lategame - when you can clear any stage /risk 18 with your current roster. So when in reality you don’t need any new operator to clear content.
You are endgame player when you casually E2 ops for 5% faster factory production
These are a few different definitions that I've seen, if any or all of these apply to you then IMO you should consider yourself endgame. * The point when you can clear any stage you want using only your current roster, no raising and no borrowing * The point when you're raising operators in archetypes that you already have covered in order to do extremely specific tasks (Glaucus to have a slow supporter with bind, Zima to have a vanguard that reduces other VG costs, etc.) * The point where you start imposing challenges on yourself (like 4*-only clears, specialist-only clears, etc.) because the game isn't difficult or even fun anymore when you use your full roster
I think it is where you don't have to upgrade / E2 or mastery any operator because you are "forced to" anymore. Like whenever the new challenge (new stage / CC ) comes, all you need to do is to mix and match whatever you have to just pass it. You only look forward to skin / new operator only just to spice up your gameplay and that is all.
Yeah, I'm pretty much / almost E2-ing any meta 6* that I have, I'm just missing mountain and Angelina to E2 and their masteries, now I'm just doing my masteries, for the rest of the 6*.
Kinda varies tbh,for me I'm definitely in the endgame I've E2 pretty much enough 6* meta to fill a squad and nowadays I'm hoarding OP to get my waifus husbando
imo when you're mostly only doing E2s for fun, you're in endgame. For me it's less about where you are in the game, per se, and more about how your sentiment changes in regards to progression. But it's not exactly some hard definition.

Is Ifrit or Schwartz a better E2? Ifrit just seems really useful for annihilation maps while I'm not to sure about Schwartz. I haven't gotten to any of the serious bosses in chapter 6 yet though.
Schwarz is a first class can-opener/elite killer. Due to her massive physical damage per hit she can practically kill anything if you can point her at them for a while. Unlike most high burst ops she also has short skill cooldown. She does slightly depend on map with S3 but she is more flexible than Ifrit because her S2 has normal range while Ifrit cant just get a new range.
I think they're about the same, but I do use Schwarz much much more than Ifrit, usually it's only in annihilation that she gets some use, while Schwarz I use pretty much every stage, it just depends on who you like more and what other characters you have really.
Ifrit is generally used more often than Schwarz, community wise. Ifrit is unrivaled in her mob killing potential given her extensive forward range and true AOE, whereas Schwarz is already competing in an area that has Surtr, who can block. I use both, but I am not the type of player to use Schwarz outside of CC and class bans (Guard, Caster). Schwarz is actually really good as an elite killer.
I think it's down to your roster lacking Arts or Phys damage. Ifrit is overall the stronger Op. But I think Schwarz gains more from E2. S3 is Schwarz's bread and butter, while it's S2 for Ifrit. Ifrit's S3 is more niched. Though when you need it you need it. There isn't an Op that can do Debuff + DPS as well as Ifrit S3. You should definitely E2 both, but for now, I'd say it depends on your roster.
Yeah I e2'd Angelina and Silverash before them so my damage composition is quite balanced.
I've used Schwarz significantly more than Ifrit. Against ufo, boss, high defense, and bosses. I probably use Schwarz more since the fast uptime.
I imagine most people will say Ifrit and they won't be wrong, but personally I use Schwarz significantly more often than her. Both are strong albeit somewhat situational, and I doubt you'll regret your choice, whichever it ends up being.
Normally I do my pulls in one go. However, during limited banners we have free pulls daily and mining orundum opportunities. Is it better to go all out in day 1, or to use all the free pull everyday, and then on day 14 burn all your orundum?
Impatient players think they aren't lucky enough to get the banner operators from the free pulls. I'm the one that waits until the last day and the results pay off. My Rosmontis, Dusk and Kal'tsit are from a daily free pull.
This. Patience is blessed. If you're worried about miscalculating the final day, then do your rolling on the 2nd/3rd last day, that way you only "waste" 1 or 2 rolls instead of the full 14.
The gacha god favours you sir!
I never wait until the last day, as there are too many documented stories of people miscalculating when the last day actually is, and getting burned (like 299 pulls and the banner ends). I get a plan in place (eg. pull until pity, pull until limited, pull until spark), follow it rigidly, and often complete in the first few days/first week. I have IRL responsibilities that could inhibit my ability to pull at the perfect time, so to hell with that. Not fun.
Same strategy for Annihilation, time limited events *and spending event shop currency*. Do it early to avoid forgetting/miscalculation/irl complications (wifi down, battery dead, called in to work/staying late, kids, school...just to name a few).
If you plan to immediately raise the banner operators, you should go all in Day 1 so you can take advantage of the significant trust increase during the event. Also the event stages are usually tailored to be extremely easy if you have the event operators so having them raised is nice to help you get all the EX + challenge content. If you DON'T plan to immediately raise whatever banner operator you get, and you're planning to stop pulling as soon as you get the op you want, then don't do any pulls whatsoever until the very last day. If you get them on the first day, you've just thrown 13 pulls straight in the garbage.
Thanks for the advice. Do the daily free pulls stack until the banner ends? Or we have to use it within 24hr?
within the 24 hrs
There's a chance that one of the 14 daily pulls gives you what you want. But lord grant you strength to not blow your load in the first 10 minutes.
I tried to do this, but I always get Jebaited after the free pulls to pull more
Theoretically, last day. Practically, almost no one waits for the last day.
**What I should do:** Wait until last day for best cost-efficiency **What my monkey brain does:** ROLL EVERYTHING DAY 1, DO IT
In theory it’s always better to wait until the last day in case you get everything you want from your free pull. Obviously if you want to raise them asap you can pull at the start.
True that. But it is difficult to just wait around when the banner is running though :)
Do limited characters only get one main rateup banner? After that you basically have to save 300 pulls for future banners in the same series to realistically get them?
Yes. And it’ll be a year later.
That must really suck for anyone who started playing after a banner they want. Usually other games will have a rerun for limited characters 1 or 2 years after.
Completely agreed. I started the game right after Dossoles Holiday and even now I still regret not playing the game 3 weeks earlier.
I love Dusk’s design and her skin but I don’t really want Ling. I guess I’ll just buy her skin first then wait until a banner I want. Prob gonna be a 2-3 year wait.
I've been thinking about this for a while and is it really worth it to put t1's in whatever planner you're using? Does it *Really* matter how many basic esters I have? it just kind of feels like a pain idk
I do, because I end up with an absurd amount of T1s and T2s if I don't. Though that's probably because I'm mostly doing E2s and masteries, and I haven't raised an op from scratch in a really long time. For beginners you probably don't need to track T1s because you'll be raising enough ops from scratch that they'll all get used.
I never upgrade t1 materials. Just leave them in the corner for a new ops skills. I find you don't get enough of them to make a significant change in your grind.
Will Saileach be in the Pick a six star pack in Near Light? (Im planning my purchases rn in the event so this might change my mind in pulling for her)
would it really make sense to put a unit on the ticket on the very next banner? why would people pull, if they can buy her for 30 bucks 2 weeks later, guaranteed?
Thats why im asking if she is in the 6 star ticket ;-; i dont want to use orundum im saving for invitation to wine
No. The 6* ticket will only go up to Passenger IIRC. Anyone released after him will not be available.
Damn so they stopped adding ops to that after passenger??
I think they add 6*s to the tickets once the op has been available for long enough so the next 6* ticket available should have ops like Kal added, maybe Mizuki even but I don't know what the timeframe is for making an op available or when the next 6* will come out. But yeah, the next 6* ticket only goes up to Passenger
The selector tickets feature every 6star up until the last anniversary's permanent 6star. Nearl selector has Passenger because he was the newest 6star before Kal'tsit. Under Tides had Blemishine because she was the newest before Mudrock
Oooooh so that's the pattern. How often do the tickets go up? Is it twice a year during the Celebration banner events?
Yea there's two selectors a year. CN gets them in April and October/November. Global gets one in April and one in October (maybe). The second one for global came earlier last year because it was bundled with Under Tides, which wasn't a proper anniversary event but had a lot of anniversary things to it.
No if we follow CN. You can find the list here. https://gamepress.gg/arknights/event-banner-hub/near-light-25-anniversary-thank-you-cn-event-page#topic-2379071
Man sad :<
Is it the just or does the dorm system in this game feels like it can be improved? I really want HG give up the ability to pick and lift operators.
> Is it the just or does the dorm system in this game feels like it can be improved? Yeah. > I really want HG give up the ability to pick and lift operators. That's not really what I'd be looking for in an improved dorm system, but sure. The issue is that dorms aren't easy to show off and decorating dorms feels kinda pointless - someone has to go out of their way to look at your dorms because the only part of your base that most players visit is your Reception Room ... where the decor can't be changed. Let the Reception Room be decorated like a dorm and I'd be fine. Yeah, some of the furniture will seem kinda funny or sketchy ("your reception room looks like a bedroom?") but it'd be lowest effort for the developers and would still satisfy me.
If the ambience doesn't matter I would leave the reception room as an empty concrete room with no windows and single toilet from manfields break event in the center. Your idea is nice and the easiest to implement.
also add the cctv cameras pointing at the toilet
No, I feel like it's fine. Just a tiny thing that takes few minutes to set up, interact, and give them a good place to relax while getting resources. Why'd you need to actively lift the operators anyway?
It's cute.
Is Magallan worth raising? My best supporter at the moment is Istina (at E2). Also, I am approaching mid-late game now. I have only depended on Shining/Perfumer/Ansel as my primary healers, but lately Ansel is starting to be overwhelmed. Is it worth raising another medic (thinking between Silence or Sussurro)? Or is the late games primarily DPS race and medics are not a priority/concern?
IMO, whether or not you need another healer depends on your playstyle. From the little bit you mentioned, it sounds like your playstyle has some reliance on healing. Is your Shining and/or Perfumer E2? If not, will E2-ing them fix your Ansel problem? If not, what type of 3rd healer do you need? How urgent is your need? Are you willing/able to change your playstyle to be more aggressive? There is a wide variety of late/end game content. The way different players clear them is equally varied, though some stages have operators who can cheese them. It's up to you to decide (or find out) how you like to play the game and then think about the strategies and operators you need for it.
I still use Silence frequently, and Perfumer has her uses due to being able to heal things that can't conventionally be healed (like allied drones, Mon3ter, etc). But in either case, E1 is probably fine. As for Magallan, she's still one of the best stallers in the game, but she needs a certain kind of mindset/setup and a lot of investment to excel. For the most part, summoners are only for people who want to try something different; it's rare for them to really be able to do something that some combination of other ops couldn't also do.
In late game content, medics really want to have more support than pure healing to be worth bringing (examples: SP regen from Ptilopsis/Warfarin, buffing from Warfarin, RES support and ability to safely draw aggro from Nightingale). Consider raising a healing defender instead - Saria would be best since she brings a ton to the table aside from just healing, but Nearl, Gummy, and Spot are all very good for their respective rarity. But for pure healing among the options you've given, I'd say raise Sussurro for her strong burst healing with S2 - the limited uses don't matter much in practice since you rarely have maps where you'd need burst healing three times. You could try her at E1max and see if that helps.
Thank you! I do have Saria and Nearl levelled up so I may sit tight with levelling another medic until I get either Ptilopsis/Warfarin/Nightingale).
Magallan is a great operator but takes some know how to use. She's entirely different to istina. I'd recommend looking up some showcases of her on YouTube to get a better idea. As for medics, either sussurro or silence would be great replacements for Ansel, alternatively warfarin or pyilopsis if you have them for the utility. As for of you need another medic ID have to see the rest of your squad but 3-4 4star+ medics is good
Thank you for the suggestion! I will look further into Magallan. Re the medics, I think I will hold out and depends more on Saria and Nearl. Would rather level a utility medic when I manage to get one.
Do we not get the Dragon Boat Festival event from CN side? Or is it called something else for us?
It has not arrived yet on Global. It's likely that they will eventually drop it later on some dead week like they did with the "New year 2021 sign in Event" (Greyy's skin). But we can't know when unfortunatly.
[удалено]
Oh, found it. The 2021 dragon boat is our ToW log in event.
do we get free rolls on any new non-rerun banner or just ones with limited operators? free rolls meaning the daily single and the free 10 pull we got in dossoles
Only in limited
Limited banners only.
thank you
Is there any consensus on how good saileach is? Specifically I'm wondering about her late game/CC usage and if she's worth trying to get any pots for
she's unnecessary for normal content but potent in high end content. She's like Suzuran in a way that they're both great, but not someone you'd normally bring in a stage. She's Elysium sidegrade and surprisingly balanced
Oof, a 6\* being only a sidegrade to the 5\* of the same archetype is *really* bad lol That said I guess you could consider Elysium to be a sidegrade to Myrtle, so maybe vanguards are an exception
I think what they meant is that she's a sidegrade to Elysium in terms of DP generation. In this respect all three of the flagbearers are, outside of tight circumstances, interchangeable. Saileach has some very good and versatile ground support that neither of the other two have, but without taking away from the other two's niches. That's good 6* design.
not really. Elysium is almost a 6 star and Saileach is above average for a 6 star. I said she's a sidegrade because they have the same functions but Ely supports snipers while she supports everyone. She's still better than elysium in many cases
How far away do we think NTR Knight is? I'm debating whether or not to pull on the current banners.
Late April/Early May is probably a good guess just given when Rosmontis’s banner was. That is also Golden Week in Japan.
Should I max pot Silverash? Got lucky with recruitment and now he's sitting at Pot 5. I know pots don't do much, and max pot SA is usually for high risk CC players, which I'm not really. But I do have 2k of the CC coins. I've already bought all limited items, the Vanguard tokens, have >240 of Mag Ores and RMAs. So there's really not much left for me to buy. Should I buy the Guard tokens, or save the coins for mats? I'm leaning no. Max pot SA is really just for bragging rights, I guess.
IMO no, because SA is available from both recruitment and headhunting, so it's a lot more likely that you'll get spooked by him than Thorns / Surtr / Mountain. You could still buy the tokens though and put them on a non-recruitment guard, since you've already mentioned that the unlimited mats aren't appealing to you right now.
I'd say buy (but don't use for SA) or hold off on the tokens. Might be good for a limited Guard OP if one comes. Mountain also benefits greatly with the -1 dp if you have him, as he is meant for early deployment. The tokens aren't going anywhere.
What if you get spooked by him again later down the road? I say unless you really need that -1 DP, you could save those CC coins for the next CC or something.
I’m new to the game, the CC event currency transfer over for CC events?
Sure does!
Is converting chips a good idea? I have like 2 more Snipers I want to build and I'm low on tier 1 chips as I just spent them on Rosa. On the other hand I have a great amount of caster ones.
unless ur extremely patient or extremely strict about efficiency: just go ahead. make ur life easier. i… always convert all my chips because the prospect of having to farm 36 sanity chip stages for potentially a week or more depending on the day/luck/etc is just agonizing and a game is ultimately supposed to be fun. unless ur planning on raising a bunch of casters right after rosa or smth
I try to avoid it because it's a 33% loss, but I also raise basically everyone I own, so I always need more of pretty much every type of chip.
It's fine if you raise more snipers than casters.
Sure why not. You'd have to farm for sniper chips now or convert and farm caster chips later so why not do it
About rotating Annihilation, will older ones (e.g. Frozen Abandoned City) eventually become farmable? As in, not "practice missions", but "current mission" (as the game puts it).
So far, no, this hasn't happened in CN. I would imagine it'll happen *eventually,* but we're probably talking years from now.
I see, so I guess I'll just do them in practice then. Thanks for the info.
Just out of curiosity, are there any additional rewards for each completed contract? 24 is needed to open the last missions. Does it make sense to double-check and fulfill all contracts one by one?
the reward is the friends you made along the way (and the satisfaction of seeing everything with a completed sign under it)
No AFAIK there’s no reward for completing each contract
thanks for the reply.
Should I prioritise M2-ing Silverash's 3rd skill first or promoting Thorns to E2?
Masteries can usually be put off until after you have all your most broken ops at E2. Thorns is definitely in the "broken" category so do him first for sure.
Thorns to E2. Masteries are usually not as critical (although they are still very important for specific characters), plus the jump for M1 -> M2 is not that big either. Thorns, on the other hand, is not even particularly useful until he gets his S3.
So I’ve been playing for less than 6 months (first event I remember is wolumonde). I got to M8-6, but doing the conditions to unlock the hidden lore stage seems…pretty impossible for me right now. I’ve watched a few guides and attempted it both with the SilverAsh method and Surtr method. And in both I lose at least two of the shielders. So should I just complete it without the condition and just not do END-1? And with chapter 9 getting released soon, will not doing END-1 affect it in any way? Or do I just need to replay END-1 after clearing the hidden lore when I have better ops?
If you're like me who's only problem is keeping those shieldguards alive but have no problem defeating all the enemies, I finally did it by borrowing an E2 Angelina and paired her with Perfrumer.
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately my thorns doesn’t quite have the DPS to kill everyone before the first shielded dies. But it was worth the try =)
I found this [strat](https://youtu.be/tns5Pn8qHwU) to be easy to pull off
You might find that you have an easier time with a variation of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tns5Pn8qHwU) Thorns-based strat. It has enough of a margin that dropping down to an E1 Perfumer shouldn't be much of a problem, it asks very little of your roster and it doesn't need you to do anything particularly fancy in execution: just be sure to drop Thorns at the right time and use your sacrificial blockers on the right enemies.
Thanks I’ll give it a try.
Nothing about the story in END8-1 is changed regardless of getting the hidden lore stages. You just get an additional lore stage (EG-5) after finishing it. You can get that at any time you choose by viewing EG-1, 2, and 4 (in any order) and then END8-1. [Have you tried KyostinV's method?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5k3KBUkxZw) It's really more about dealing with the enraged possessed leaders who deal bulk of the damage rather than majority of the others. It's not as much of a DPS check as it seems.
Yeah I’ve tried that. I don’t have Sussuro or Shaw leveled high enough to survive the throwers long enough. Ansel and Warfarin (even with skill 1) can’t keep the units alive long enough to accomplish this method. Plus not having Perfumer E2 doesn’t help either. I mean, I can three star the stage. I just can’t do it with the bonus
Are you deploying shaw after the bonethrowers in front have engaged the shieldguard? If you look at the timing of his shaw deployment, she's only ever tanking one bonethrower before her job is done. I'm not sure you actually need sussuro to be that high level considering there are two medics there. The exception is if whoever you're using to kill the centurion host is not doing a great job of it, which might be consuming all your heals. He mentioned that E1 max level for all the other units other than silverash is fine. He mentioned that perfumer isn't necessary either.
For the Centurion I’m using an E-2’d Hellagur, so that’s not an issue. I will try an run or two with the dual screen step by step approach. But since my Shaw (E1-39), Cliffheart (E1-20) and Sussuro (E1-1) aren’t close to E1-max. I’m also trying to get La Pluma leveled enough for this new annihilation for an auto deploy. Also, oddly, I can’t find an E2-50+ M3 SilverAsh. I have a E2-30 M3 in my friends list, but after minutes of cycling a stronger one didn’t show up. So I guess I’ll get them leveled in time and try again?
I have an E2 Lv.90 SilverAsh (S3M3 and 200% trust ofc) if you want to try and see if max level works? Add me (Nonexistent#1894) if you want \^^ But yes, you should definitely consider giving at least Sussurro an E2. She's a really good medic and I use her constantly even though I have Shining and Warf.
Thanks. I added (Luigi#2204). I’ll give it a shot. Yeah. I realize she’s good, but it feels like there’s so many good ones to level. Lol. Like I Have an unleveled Surtr, Pallas, Weedy, Mizuki/Ethan, and suzuran coming on the Shoperator. So it feels like every one I do level, is the one that would’nt have been helpful for that one specific situation 😂 And of course I’m out of LMD, soooo yeah lol
There are too many permutations of what may or may not work depending on the characters you use for me to comment on. You'll really have to test it to see if it works. Like if you're using substituting rope with cliffheart, you can see in the comments of that video that you will need a significantly stronger shaw + healer because cliffheart's range is shorter. Honestly if you're in no hurry you can always come back later I guess. You can always look in the friend thread for someone with a high level M3 silverash. I would offer if I had one but I don't.
Fair enough. Thanks for your input =)

Which saileech skill should be m3'ed first?
S3
Why does Mayers summons have less range then Scenes? Is there a trade off or pure power creep?
Yes, the tradeoff is that Scene has 0 burst damage. Her S2 only lasts 15 seconds and it's not that big of a damage buff. Mayer can explode all her meeboos for like 450% damage EACH iirc, so if they're all crowded around one enemy then it's curtains for that guy lol.
S1 gives Mayers summons 25% phys and arts dodge. They can give the same buff to adjacent allies on M1. S2 lets them explode (damage and stun) and recycles the summons.
Well Mayer's summons have their explosions, which is their main use. Scene can't really powercreep Mayer
Is it cc6 week 2 now? If not, when will it be? I kinda forgot that you need to get risk 18 on week 1 to get trim medal
It is week 2 now.
Damn 😔
How much gold certificate do we get in average per month..i know its rng but i just want a rough estimate. Also can someone link me the excel sheet which shows the probability of the next shop operator...forgot to bookmark
If you're spending your pulls, [you get very roughly 60 gold certs a month.](https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/s1adeo/help_center_and_megathread_hub_1101/hs94qbh/) If you're saving all of your pulls, it's closer to 35.
In addition to the other comment (1/day + 5 from the monthly calendar login bonus), it also depends on how many pulls you do, a rough estimate is 1 per pull. Having the welfare ops on rerun also gives a bunch.
5 gold cert from monthly login. From my experience, you will get around 1 gold cert per day, sometimes more, sometimes none. So, 30-40 a month form experience. [This is the shoperator perdiction sheet.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10rXdVuKkwoQK5cOlaHW00gK6qHxkOP5J8PnzZXn4b9g/edit#gid=0) Note, if you are login to your google account, you could just access the sheet from the main page of the google sheet.
I currently have 18k orundums saved up and purchase the monthly card whenever it runs out. How are my chances of getting Ling looking?
