I think they'll powercreep Myrtle with Closure by allowing you to go into DP debt.>Closure gives you a 50 DP loan on deployment (later becomes negative)>ops deployed using this DP loan get a small buff>If the DP isn't repaid with interest (stays negative too long) all the ops deployed with the buff get retreated like Merchants

>>499672630Zhang enters the cycle of rebirth and comes back as a plant that will later be potted and placed within the HG planning rooms.
>>499671885Artificer as a kit can be fully offensive, think Ela to Dorothy. She'll have a standard basic effect (maybe something like arts shred/silence on enemies in an 8 tile radius of her deployable) and then her actual skills will be offensive, probably one that makes her range go lord style and some means to deal arts damage (maybe as a talent?).
>>499671120Loved the Asky.Goodluck and Julie's stories were a bit awkward, but I liked them enough.Amiya's lack of Angst felt really weird. I feel like we really needed a scene of her and Doc bonding and encouraging her after he saved her.Felt like a lot of stuff went way too fast except it took forever for Babel to leave Kazdel.

Ok fine. post THAT.
>>499670929Having 3600 atk counts for less when the skill is shorter than normal. Franks has def ignore. Flamenibber has better dps for things like low def sarkaz. NTR has crazy dps period. Everyone has like four skadi from top op. Morgan hangs out at 3,712 if you don't heal her for the helidrop duration.

>device is a wolfpack with full coverage in the surrounding tiles >skill 1 passive effect grants 1 SP to allies attacking an enemy in range of device>skill 2 passive effect silences the enemy and grants fragile to enemies in range of device>skill 3 passive deals arts damage to all enemies in range of device >second talent makes it so when skills are active attacks deals arts damage (other talent is default supporter can carry devices)>skills have suitable active effects (S2 increases range/atk and lets her attack two targets like her base form, S2 doubles SP gain on targets and increases the attack speed of allies attacking enemies in device range, S3 makes wolfpack and Lapp gain one block and buff selves heavily)I think that's a pretty solid example of how an artificer Lapp would fit her pretty well.
>>499674058They're all usable. It's just expensive and you probably have better
Daddy...
Its been a while since we've had a delta module, who would you like to get one with the half anni?
>>499674695You just posted her
>>499674695Texas alter NEEDS it
>>499674602
>>499674090Is Ascalon for (you)?
>>499674695I wanna see more new effects, like how ela can go on melee tiles. Just slapping elemental damage is so lazy. There's so many more mechanics they could addDorothy traps could be stacked on the same tileBlemi could get a module like shining where using S3 lets her heal for a % of every attack she doesCarnelian could have a slow sandstorm zone around her while her skill is inactiveDeltas essentially act like a 3rd talent yet all people want is lazy elemental damage
>>499675080Always
>>499675112I think the issue with elemental damage modules is that they inherently can be nerfed. Elemental damage resistance exists, its just unused and the second they feel like using it every elemental module loses a lot of value.
operators you want to smooch?
>>499675603
Doko
>>499675603Monie!
>>499675396Yeah they can toggle the ele res switch whenever there's enough primal/ritualists to warrant it. Like when they started freeze and sleep immunity. So wanting elemental damage delta because they're "op" can be worthless in the end. At that point having a new talent to fix or enhance their kits would be ideal. Ela would brick half the time if she couldn't place traps on ranged tiles for example, it really fixes her

>>499677064you get raped
Don't fuck Amiya
>>499673776I think Morgan and Lessing start mathing out to deal higher damage than other dreadnoughts if you can find a way to cram like +200% attack up their ass. It's probably lower for Morgan if you just want her to beat out the other 5*s.

>>499679520>t.weedy typing from doctors terminal
>>499679018if they cared about skin sales we would get more of them in general, yet we get few skins per patch still. plus this is a FREE mudrock skin there are no sales. another dress skin is just too samey, people already talked about skipping her 2nd skin because it was too similar to the 1st.

>>499674352S1 - offensive recovery arts slice in 3x3 rangeS2 - instead of device LappaL creates a wolf. wolf starts charging and after 5 seconds enters operator it faces, operator gets +30% HP, +30% DEF, 15 res for 30 seconds, can shove up to three wolves into operator S3 - same as S2 but operator gets +30% ATK, 20 ASPD, 100 armor penetration and 10 res penetration, when first wolf duration runs out operator retreats but redeployment time is reduced
>>499679404My pink-green hybrid smells very nice actually
>>499680220You said the W word.
>>499679826Come on bro, they can't just release skins quickly. You can't just expect them to have skins for every operator in a reasonable time frame. You can't just expect more than 1 choice for any given operator that isn't in the top 20% most used. You can't just expect every character to be Astesia. They can't just put out skins for Estelle, Durnar, Haze, or Vermeil, they have to do important things like make a second for Arene.

>>499682216
Design a delta module that will save your wife from irrelevancy.For me it's:>Silent Sentinel: Applies 10% Sanctuary to allies within Attack Range; effect increases as ally's HP decreases (reaches maximum gain of 24% Sanctuary when below 30% HP). For every attack made while skill is active, increase self and ally healed ATK (max 20%) and skill duration by 1s (max 10s)Gives Olivia2 a more general use as she will also increase offensive capabilities. Skill duration pairs well with her short S1/S2 and long S3 duration, and can extend allies skill duration for up to 10s (doesn't affect insta-cast or infinite skills obviously)

I'm having trouble managing this nodeTried to delay buying the ending 4 invitation later, got perfect prep but then it never appeared until floor 6 with no encounter so I have to tackle it early thought I never feel my squad is good enough to do so.Which ops/strats would make my life easier here?
>>499683421I don't think my wife is irrelevant, but an elememe delta that causes everything in her attack range to suffer Nervous Impairment buildup would be funny
>>499683945You can always try to just skip encounter nodes after getting the thing, or turn them into combat/emergencies.
>>499682680A smile would be nice.
>>499681886Do you just bring every construct and tools to every stage?
>>499683632So cute...
>>499683653I don’t think so normally, but I am playing the hardest mode so maybe its different
Eterna stop it, I can't get hard while giving an important presentation to our operators...
>>499683565Al Rafiq has 100k HP you need to burst when in repair mode. He also reflects 500 physical damage when hit while in repair mode. Reed arts killbox trivializes him, but I'm guessing you don't have Reed.
>>499683335>reading his own manga bitsCute
>>499684529Oh, Critical Contention. That's more of an issue as his repair mode has 20% of his normal HP which is 500k. With CC buffs that could be like a million or something so you have to burst down like 200k or even more.
>>499684737Oh theres gonna be an important presentation alright

>>499685843>still having problems with SSSyou can't be THAT bad
>>499686572Your game must be very fucking bad if you dicking her didn't wake her up.
>>499683421She hardly needs it, but if I were to give her yet another alternate module I would probably do something like>Healing targeting Mon3tr or self splash healing onto the 8 adjacent tiles for 50% healing; when Mon3tr kill an enemy, Mon3tr releases a shockwave(matching the type of damage dealt) as an aoe for 50% of the damage excessive of the defeated enemy's remaining HPmaking her a pseudo aoe healer, and give Mon3tr some extra aoe damageor maybe something like>while deployed outside Kal'tsit's range Mon3tr retains 50% defense and gains reduced redeployment when it retreats or is defeated; while on skill 2, ignore skill ties and increase self ATK by 50% of Mon3tr's increase(+45%ATK at M3) while skill is active;making her a more standard healer and Mon3tr a more standard summon.Numbers here aren't specific but I think it looks nicer than a bunch of X and Y amount of damage.

Are we not going to talk about anni in one week? Where is the hype? Think of all the newcuties we are going to adopt.

>>499689896/akg/ can not have a civilized conversation about W/Logos
>>499670929Dreadnoughts are the premier Duelist class, so the expectation for them is to be usable solo without support. Lessing just really falls short in that category. He might scale well with support, but there are myriads of other ops who scale just as well or better as well as don't need it in the first place.
>>499683421My wife deserves to be powerful!>On deploy and every 25s deployed gain a 'Freeling' charge (up to 3.) When a skill attack hits an enemy consume a 'Freeling' charge and summon a 'Freeling' at the target's location (only on deployable ground tiles.) 'Freelings' have expanded range (eight adjacent tiles), do splash damage, and may also target aerial units.

>>499690763What is the difference?
>>499691021You wont be saying that after rolling only for an op you like to be released after you're brokeHaving foresight is so valuable for f2p people do not understand

>>499691374Lapipi the Lupipi.....
>>499691453Wake me up when Hoyoslop doesn't have 0.6% chance to roll a 5*
>>499690954>>499691115>>499691192I might be retarded, but I asked and everyone said it was better to start with a strong dps banner and anni is the only time the game is generous. So I just made some reroll accounts to prep and played the game a little bit with a throwaway account. I got to the third chapter and it was fun so I'm excited to try it for real with a strong account hopefully.
>>499690932That's more like it
>>499691493hmmm, no
>anal wormWhy did the hoyofags decide to bring their shitposts here
>>499690340He's not cool like Ulpipi or Mlynar. He's a male designed for women and that ultimately is what alienates him from the male side of the playerbase. You could say the same of some female operators, sure, but given 99% of us here are men, that's why he does so little for the people here. All he has is that he's meta but at this point there's so many broken options you don't have to use him if you don't want to.
>>499691620You fell for metafaggot shitposts
>>499690907I dunno I think he looks kind of cool, all those spikes or twigs or whatever give him an interesting profile. I think it hides his twinkiness.

>>499691620Oh... I think you would've been better off just starting right away. Good luck with your rolls regardless.
>>499691374Is Lapipi2 made for scat?
Why can’t /akg/ just admit W alter is the most broken character in the game. Why is alway a different cope each time?
>>499691801didn't ask, faggot
>>499691350You are stealing your own fun, half the thrill of gacha is the uncertainty. When you know the future you can never be surprised.

Howdy /akg/.Hope yall are doing fine today.
>>499692002Which creature is behind this post?
>>499691747>He's a male designed for women and that ultimately is what alienates him from the male side of the playerbaseHe says as Logos got voted as the most popular charater over all by NGA, 1st by females and 11th (highest male) by males./akg/ needs to stop pretending like their opinion is shared by the rest of the community
I'm hype for chapter 14 to be worried over by and worry for Asky
Amiya offers you a cup of her period blood. Do you partake of the king's covenant?
Are women actually attracted to Mlynar?
>>499692117I will NEVER accept that the community actually likes Andoain
>>499692106dont reply to it
>>499691350>>499691565Sounds to me like you're a gambling addict who can't evaluate whether the operator is worth pulling or not so he needs a safety net of foresight to know whether something more valuable arrives later
>>499691686Holy shit.

>>499691957Thanks, you're probably right but I've been busy with some other things and the timing actually works out more conveniently. I should have a lot of free time until the end of the year so I can enjoy the game. I read a lot of vn's and books, I heard this game has a ton of story so I'm really looking forward to that part of it.

>Implying most anon here only play Arknights
>>499692117You fail to mention that this poll featured Skadi as the most popular for men and somewhere between 2nd and 9th for women, which means that Logos could only be first if the poll was mostly women, which invalidates the entire poll.

>>499694016I got into the game because someone posted official art of Pram in other general.

>>499699297no
>>499699065nta but i used to the same for the first 3 years playing this game, it is indeed sustainable and actually gets you a lot of materials to build all the operators you get, though if you get that rare banner that doesn't just give you all the units you don't have in 30 pulls it's kind frustrating

Hmm, no

A hard boiled veteran Suzu would be pretty kino.
>>499699297At best I've only got 25 years left to live anyways. Realistically I'll be dead in 15, no reason not to when the worst one is ten times better than any real life girl.

They don't want you to know that it's not gay if it's with Ansel.
i want you to know that healing is for pussies

>>499700907If that were the case the entire PP rooms should be in the middle of the base in between the dorms, not in the far left. It’s barely enough power as is yet it’s still turning on everything on the right of the dorms.

Are you ready?
>>499702307once upon a time...
Serious question here, does anyone here at all regularly use Lessing? I can believe there are people who regularly use Vigil since his design is pretty good and he's not completely without worth, but Lessing feels way less argued for.
>>499702379This whole event has been super easy. How hard can some S stages be?

>>499702710The fuck you mean no? I was just pointing out he was argued for earlier today. >>499702876>argued for
>>499702429It's a shame since Lessing is leagues about Vigil as a character, but dreadnought debuff is hella strong.
>>499702429I have him fully built but I don't regularly use himhe's got a sorta solid kit with s3 but even if you ignore eyja2 existing, there aren't that many elites/bosses where his particular brute force niche is highly valuable over other options
>>499702958>Serious question here, does anyone here at all regularly use Lessing?

Ningens
>>499702429Might build him just because the class is so good at dealing damage. I got Morgan beefed up and I’m pretty satisfied with her.
>>499703776you weren't fast enough...

>>499703992Yeah, sure. Please post more sweaty operators.
Alright my allies, today we raid the RI laundry facilities. Some of us may get lost along our path but so long as one of us makes it we all win.

Good Morning, I love Quercus.

Half anniversary event story spoiler
>>499703541Steadying her breath before firing
>>499703541Another addition to the lupo ASMR.
>>499702429Dreadnoughts are the basic Duelist class. Lessing just falls short compared to Skadi and Nearl who were long the standard since they came out before him. You're not expected to support them with buffs and there are other ops who force multiply with buffs better. The one instance you would expect him to specialize in he also ends up failing quite often. Meme showcases are the literal Duelist format and Lessing does awful at them despite it.https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1nryRYzEPxThis is the fodder Steam Knight. 4 guards fail to kill him including Lessing. He was also the singular guard that jobbed against dirty water blob. He's just poor no matter how you look at him.

>>499707109the layers of shield upon deployment relics were only added in 3, so she'd have to get lucky with dodge relics
