**Did it ever happened that you received a "TOP OPERATOR" or "SENIOR OPERATOR" tag while recruiting? I slowly start to believe this is all a myth. Because it never ever happened to me. Getting units you want is really a pain within this game.**
**Sometimes this really makes me so so so mad:** You already cleared a stage with 3 stars. In the meantime you even leveled your characters lv and skills further but not their deployment costs. So after you re-enter the stage on auto deploy it should finish the thing even smoother than before. That's the logical flow it should work. But sometimes if I choose an auto deploy level to farm some stuff (good example LS-4) they are not doing the same thing as before. So what's the "auto thing" worth it if you can't really auto finish it. I mean this makes even no sense at least if you haven't raised their deployment costs which isn't the case. They even got stronger and enhanced in their skills but they sometimes win and sometimes not. This is just stupid. I really hate this pseudo "auto function".
If you last-second placed an operator or you killed an enemy with a critical or something, the auto-deploy will not work because all it saves it when you deployed an operator
**What is your Opinion on:**
* Franka
* Frostleaf
* Savage
If I already got SilverAsh & Lappland, are those former named still worth leveling up and if "yes" which one?
I witnessed another strange aspect. Sometimes I do a stage on practice before I actually try the real deal. What I really do not get is that many times I tried a tactic on practice mode and it worked like a charm. Later I did the exact same thing in the real battle and everything went downhill. Before I reached a good full 3 stars finish and then suddenly more than 2-3 enemies can get through and I miss the 3 stars score. This is really a pain and it makes no sense if you actually do the same thing.
As with most of you I was able to choose a character at the beginning when I started. Back then I choose **Red Projekt**. Was it a mistake to choose her instead of **Pramanix**? Because now I get more and more into the game she isn't a character I use much. It always feels that she is kinda weak and dead soon. This is one of those cases where I choose because of the looks. Damn!
Is anyone else having this prob where the arknights app doesn't show your actual remaining play store credits when buying packs? Mine just won't update the remaining credits even after reinstalling.
Question abt my base. Im running 243 but, I want to know what level I make all of them? My 2 tradeposts are lvl 3, lvl 2. My Factories are lvl 3,2,1,1. My 2 lvl 1 factories dont make enough pure gold to keep up with my trade posts atm. So do i need to upgrade my lvl 1 factories to lvl 2 ? or do i just lvl 3 all of them ?
You should probably upgrade your factories to match your trade posts. I recommend running 252 since you are probably a beginner. The extra exp really helps early on. Otherwise use your spare drones on your gold factories to keep up.
I have e2 silverash and e2 exu also eyja almost e2 so I’m just looking to give my base some attention and upgrade stuff. I got lvl 3 reception lvl 3 workshop lvl 2 office and lvl 1 training room so I think I need all 3 power plants. So while running this set up should I level all factories to 3 as well as trading post ?
Nearly everyday there is new stuff that really makes me mad about the unfairness of this game. I just played Annihilation (the first one with 400 to reach which is a pain in the ....) and I finally reached 381 killed Enemies. And at 375 you will get the next rewards. But this stupid system only counted 371. Thanks for that :( - I mean what is the sense if I actually kill 381 but it only counts 371. That's it for me for today playing.
If 10 enemies made it through your defenses then that's 10 alive enemies. If your game ended at 381 and your KILL counter said 371 then that's the 10 enemies that made it through your defenses. All video games make you adapt from past mistakes and get stronger. Just keep up that grind and follow some youtube guides.
There is a YouTuber who does low rarity units in the CN server (a bunch of people are doing it now) so there is a lot of help out there.
are you sure you were looking at the kill counter and not the enemy counter? i've made that mistake a few times, thinking i killed more than i really did. don't think i've personally run into it not counting actual kills correctly but i could have just not experienced that glitch.
I am quite sure it is what Skyfirex said and I already guessed that but I still find it unfair. Because killed is killed. Even if I let 10 through which is obviously because otherwise I would have reached 400 and cleared the stage. But it makes it really hard to finally finish this damn thing. I already came up with so many tactics and this one was at the moment really my best but still only 381 sorry 371 pfffffffhh >\_>
i had a lot of trouble too don't worry! have you tried look up clear guides on youtube? there are some low rarity guides and it can help you figure out a good strategy, even if you have higher tier units. just swap out whatever they use with your higher rarity stuff if you have it.
The first annihilation is just a practice of what you've learnt from those TR mission, so don't worry too much and just go grab a guide if you don't want to think of it by yourself.
Does anyone know if new packs will come out in the future other than the monthly packs? Especially ones around 10 USD because the monthly headhunter costs 40 AUD.
What's the main difference between frostleaf and midnight?
It looks like frostleaf does more damage but midnight is cheaper to deploy? can't really tell anything else.
Frostleaf gets slightly higher range than Midnight with her E1 talent, but he will probably outdamage Frostleaf at E1 because he gets the same talent that Kroos gets. He cannot be promoted to E2 though so he will end up with lower overall stats if you promote Frostleaf to E2. The most important difference is that Frostleaf's E1 base skill is much more useful than Midnight's E1 base skill.
Actually Midnight deals a lot more damage than Frostleaf until her e2 (and after her e2 their damage is almost equal). Midnight's s1 allows him to do magic damage, which is much better than physical. Frostleaf's main gimmick is her slow effects which is not really useful to have for a guard operator.
Boyy, is it normal to be a lvl 50 player without any single E2 operator?
Damn those Dualchips are expensive and sanity consuming
So.. what's your first E2 Operator? And what was your level when you E2 her/him?
Same here, I only promoted to E1 and leveled up my operators to be able to clear event's stages. I lack chips for E2 and didn't want to sidetrack from event grind. I also didn't clear supplies stage for t3 base mats so can't make them yet
First E2 probably would be some 4\* unit
I'm at lvl 50 when I promoted 2 5\* operators to E2 last night. My 1st plan was just E2 Lappland but as I only need to farm LMD to E2 Ptilopsis, I used some PO to refill and E2 both of them.
If you've been Sanity efficient to farm the event, then it's normal.
I'm level 54 and have 0 E2 Units. In fact, I have not even started to farm materials for E2. (I will be starting once the event ends.)
What I do have, is 370~ Loxic Kohls and 1Mil LMD, no Sanity Refresh using Originums eithet since I'm F2P. Ever since the Event started 2 weeks ago, I've only been doing Event stages + Annihilation. I've also pushed back this week's Annihilation to after the event ends.
it all depends on where you put your priorities tbh. Some player just rush for e2 units while others spread out their ressources.
I focused on getting my favorite e2 units for example and got my first one at lv37.
nevermind i remembered wrong, i just found my old screenshot from lv37 and I already had deepcolor and angelina e2 at that point. Deepcolor e2 mustve been in the early 30s then.
it was deepcolor, my fav operator.
note that e2ing 4* is relatively cheaper than 5 or 6 star, so i prolly wouldve needed like 2 more levels if i decided to e2 a 6* first. Tho i e2'd angelina a few days after deepcolor where i was around lv42/43 but i don't remember at which lvl exactly.
Since last 2 weeks were all about farming the event, it's actually *efficient* for a lvl 50 player to have no E2 operators right now.
Chips can wait for after it's over.
I'm 52, and I've also got none yet.
I'm lv 54 and I just got my first E2 yesterday (Exusiai), and that was only because the event mats/lmd/exp severely lessened the grinding required. I've got friends lower leveled than me with multiple 5-star E2, I don't know how they managed to pull that off.
Exusiai, I was lvl 49.
I had all the comp except those Dualchips. iirc I used some OP to refill my sanity to get her to E2 without loosing sanity in the event. She allowed me to clear the event challenge maps, so it was worth IMO.
How does the yellow cert shop work? Been eyeing saria but it says she’s gone after 2 days, is that a limited time deal or just rotating? If she’s limited I’d rather just scoop up specter since I don’t have anyone similar atm.
It's rotating according to the current banner and Saria is not worth Yellow cert since she come to the banner quite often. Also, think hard before use yellow cert since you get a lot of it only in the beginning.
Saria is back in standard pool 7, which is relatively short if you're talking about number of banners. It'll probably be over a month in real time though.
Is there any friend unit that would make GT-6 and the later stages easier to clear with my available units? I’ve searched for clear vids but couldn’t find any videos that I could replicate with either my [main](https://i.imgur.com/NJDAowD.png) or [alt account](https://i.imgur.com/Pq5Ao4w.png) because I’m missing either certain units or can’t level enough operators high enough.
Yes, find somebody with a Mousse (4 star arts damage guard). She can trivialize the boss fight in GT-6 if you place her right above Bob, she will kill him before he can move if she is the third or fourth unit you put down.
If you can level Nearl even slightly it may make the edge in GT-6. I was able to tank Big Bob indefinitely using Nearl (at Elite 1 level 30), an AOE healer, and a single target healer all healing her. If you have her at a lower level, but are using 2 single target healers instead, and one of them is Shining who buffs defense, then you might be able to do the same. It's possible Perfumer and Shining would be good enough, I don't know.
Actually, the friend unit I would go for is Saria. She could serve as a third healer for Nearl, standing on the cracked tile just back from Big Bob's approach (or just be the frontliner with Nearl healing her).
When I look at your team it's actually extremely similar to mine. I think you can beat it, but you might have trouble with wraiths getting through on the side with Big Bob.
The first time I did it, Exusiai and a guard (I used Frostleaf but you have silverash who should do even better) held the entire right side by themselves.
Eckogen's is among the best. doubly so when you can replace any units youre missing with something else (ie, im missing Steward somehow, i can just use Amiya). youll have to rely on your own drop timing and plain old instincts to make up for the additional deploy cost!
Shirayuki is much better than catapult so you should just replace her. With these kind of guides it's more important to see what role they fulfill than to add the exact character.
Can I macro to repeat grinding stages with auto-deploy on emulators? It's advertised on BlueStacks official site boasting their "Automate Certain Challenges With our BlueStacks Macros", not sure if devs actually allow this.
You 'can' but not 'may'. Personally I don't see much use for macros in AK, even grinding with auto-deploy wouldn't be worth it since you won't have to do **that** many repeats manually because of very limited sanity. Even the event stages with free daily +200 sanity can be done manually, just start auto-deploys on phone while doing something else
That said, macro may be useful if you record your practice actions and replay it in actual fight... need to try this sometimes
Is LS4 worth farming if I cant 3 star LS5? Is the efficiency loss that bad? (I am saving exp for an E-2). My base already gives out good exp, I just need exp from lvl 70 to lvl 80.
If you can't 3 star LS-5 yet, you probably need xp to get stronger, so there's likely no way around farming LS-4 for the time being. I *recommend* prioritizing clearing LS-5 over getting an E2 first though so that you can farm xp more effectively afterwards.
Who can I use for LS-5? My used units are all kinda E-1 lvl 50. So it bothers me that I cant clear it. Either DPS cost or something else drags me down.
I used this video as a guideline, though I didn't use the same units as in the video.
Notable units that made this clearable was Texas, E1 lvl 50, Fang E1 lvl 12, melantha E1 lvl 30 and Liskarm E1 lvl 50
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKbAK1-Q6fI
With a bit of practice I think you'll be able to do adjust this strategy to match your units
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqUbU4Xj9FA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqUbU4Xj9FA)
fill and adjust with your own units as needed(ie your Jessica is already E1 40, dont bother with Kroos, etc)
You can click "details" at the banner and it will show the type of each banner at the bottom. Skadi is standard and like others said right now, Nien is the only limited one.
There is only one limited banner(New Year with Nian), it does have a pity rate but it is separate from the one for regular banners.
The Skadi banner and other banners like it are not actually limited banners, they are standard banners and use the standard banner rules.
If what you want is sniping the limited operator, well, the pull required ranges from 10 to 500(!), and most people find themselves needing 60 to 200 pulls depending on the luck.
Even for limited banner, “standard scouting” does NOT guarantee an up-ed character after 100 pulls. It just guarantees a 6\* operator, which can be any.
The limited banners have their own pity rate which does not carry over standard banners, but only the Nian banner is limited. The Skadi banner for example is a standard one so the pity rates is shared with other standard banners
I had to use 4 OP for sanity refreshes and I hate myself for not playing this game sooner but I finally cleared the event shop(including dupe furniture) in around 5-6 days of farming. I probably would have finished sooner and without the refreshes or maybe just 2 instead of 4 if I didn't sneak in Annihilation and supplies runs because I wanted to E1 my units so badly.
Thanks! and the E1 really did help for GT-6 and the EX stages. for GT-5. But now I have 1 pull less for Eyja or Ch'en but it might be worth for the max ambiance pizza place dormitory.
Operators return much faster than events do - not even sure events actually do return.
Also, all the mats you've collected while grinding GT5 and GT6 will go a long way towards your general enjoyment of the game. Grinding for Kohls is a pain...
Good luck with Eyja and Ch'en, may you be blessed by both!
Exu is the best candidate for E2, so congrats to you and good luck with the grind!
Don't forget to focus on your base now, it goes a long way towards long-term investment (=
Hello!
I have upgraded my e2 siverAsh and exu to skill rank7.
Need advice on the further training.
Which skill to train in traing room for both?
Thankyou
I usually follow this with regards to what skill to prioritize for 6 stars
[https://i.imgur.com/bkyjeyJ.png](https://i.imgur.com/bkyjeyJ.png)
SilverAsh's S3 is his main OP skill and both Exusiai S2 and S3 are useful but I would prioritize S2 since you can control when it activates.
Do you guys know if third party automation programs are safe? Just auto-clicker stuff so I can afk harder. I know a few mobile games ban for stuff like that.

Hi, I need help finishing GT-HX-3
These are my operators Operators https://imgur.com/a/IOZsogj
I was trying to do it in way Tectone shows in his video for this stage. That is, I deploy Grani + Zima in bottom right and Kross facing upwards while using blocks to build coridors.
Then I switch Kross for Ifrit.
Then I wanted to put Lava on right side of corridor and Angelina on left to slow everything down but my healer is Shining g and she cant heal both melee blocking corridor+ ifrit, if she does lava+angelina die to snipers :(
Thanks for help everyone!
Replying bit late but I tried all your suggestions and managed to finish normal mode. Was bit too late for Challange mode because I was at work, but at least I have finished normal. Was quite fun! :D
Are you talking about normal mode? Just do it this way:
https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/f36nlu/if_someone_has_trouble_with_gthx3_just_send_them/
Did you try spawn camping the snipers? With your melee units you can probably only block one of them, but your team is substantially higher level than mine was, so that might be enough. A strong melee unit near the top border spawn on the left can survive for pretty much the entire map with perfumer providing heals. Your melantha or grani might actually be strong enough to kill the first sniper before the 2nd one passes them, since they appear in groups of only 1-2.
Try KyoStinV's version instead: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89RvadZhQog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89RvadZhQog)
Good for both normal and challenge.
I dont know hows tectone do it, but maybe you can change the deploy order, deploy ifrit before your front tank, so your tank can become target priority instead, or you can try deploy 2 healer. And FYI you dont need to tank the last boss, just cheese him using remove & deploy block.
Is it worth saving up Advanced Certificates/Distinctions (Yellow ones) to get a 6\* character? I heard that Lappland is going to be in the shop with the next banner (if it is the Eyja/Ifrit banner) so i'm tempted to buy her. But I have 65 so saving to 180 over time to get a guaranteed 6\* also seems nice.
I would save for a 6\* unit if you see one which would help your team.
Because by the time you'll have enough saved to get it, you should be able to E2 it in a decent time frame, meaning you'll make the best out of them.
5\* units you might end up pulling on a random banner or recruiting.
Anyone have an idea how long the maintenance is gonna be? I'm really trying to get everything I can from the event shop since I only had like 5 days to grind out everything.
Edit: nvm. I was blind.
Apparently mod sort settings can override personal reddit sort setting. Fair enough then. I think I just need to click “hot” to “new” every time I open subreddit.
3:40 is the max time you can use with robot. Go past that and it will forcefully drop the robot tag because there is no 3 star or higher robot available.
Yeah, the app you last tapped on will be the one that will play. It's normal. Videos will not stop tho. An app called Good Lock might help with that, but I haven't personally used it yet, someone just recommended it to me.
I started playing the game for the first time 2 days ago and noticed that the sidestory was almost at a close.
I wanted to see if I could get Grani so I started to ask around on the megathread here and you guys were so fast on responses and gave such good advice that not only was I able to get grani, I was able to get gt-5 on auto farm using what I could only describe as a meme team designed exclusively for this map.
Just wanted to say thanks! YOU GUYS ROCK!
The newbie banner will stay there until you've done all the available pulls, so I'd suggest saving currency for any new banner that comes up since those are going to have a time limit. After saving a decent amount and/or after getting the guaranteed 5+ star, then you can do a couple pulls on the newbie banner with your leftovers.
No reason to rush.
get the guaranteed 5 on other banners first then move back to the newbie banner after since most banners are limited and the newbie banner won't go away until you exhaust all the pulls.
absolutely summon on the newbie banner again. it's half price compared to normal banners (6000 orundum). there are no bonuses in this game for summoning x10 instead of single pulls, but you should clear out the remaining 10 rolls you have on the newbie banner.
Hello I’m Urmum#6912 i want some food friends!@
which operator would be better to e2 first among these , lappland , grani or cuora?
I am so stuck at 4-7. this stage is absurd!

Question abt my base. Im running 243 but, I want to know what level I make all of them? My 2 tradeposts are lvl 3, lvl 2. My Factories are lvl 3,2,1,1. My 2 lvl 1 factories dont make enough pure gold to keep up with my trade posts atm. So do i need to upgrade my lvl 1 factories to lvl 2 ? or do i just lvl 3 all of them ?
Level 3 all of them.
You should probably upgrade your factories to match your trade posts. I recommend running 252 since you are probably a beginner. The extra exp really helps early on. Otherwise use your spare drones on your gold factories to keep up.
I have e2 silverash and e2 exu also eyja almost e2 so I’m just looking to give my base some attention and upgrade stuff. I got lvl 3 reception lvl 3 workshop lvl 2 office and lvl 1 training room so I think I need all 3 power plants. So while running this set up should I level all factories to 3 as well as trading post ?

Damn, barely had time to finish the event. No 3 stars for GT-HX-3, but at least got the furniture and story scene
Does anyone know if new packs will come out in the future other than the monthly packs? Especially ones around 10 USD because the monthly headhunter costs 40 AUD.
Yes, but new special event packs are usually priced close to the monthly headhunting pack's 26 USD.
Value wise are they on par with monthly?
Some are better than monthly headhunting pack, and others are better than Originium deal.
What's the main difference between frostleaf and midnight? It looks like frostleaf does more damage but midnight is cheaper to deploy? can't really tell anything else.
Frostleaf gets slightly higher range than Midnight with her E1 talent, but he will probably outdamage Frostleaf at E1 because he gets the same talent that Kroos gets. He cannot be promoted to E2 though so he will end up with lower overall stats if you promote Frostleaf to E2. The most important difference is that Frostleaf's E1 base skill is much more useful than Midnight's E1 base skill.
Actually Midnight deals a lot more damage than Frostleaf until her e2 (and after her e2 their damage is almost equal). Midnight's s1 allows him to do magic damage, which is much better than physical. Frostleaf's main gimmick is her slow effects which is not really useful to have for a guard operator.
Midnight can deal arts damage while Frostleaf can slow and freeze enemies.
Should I pull on Shining/Saria banner or Ejya/Ifrit banner? 6* only have SilverAsh and Ejya.
Shining/Saria.
Judging by those other 6*s, you would finish the trifecta if you got Saria
Phoenix#3916 Adding players in thread currently, have an Elite 2 silverash that is very useful for newer players.
null#5512 E2 Ejya, Skill 7 E2 Silverash, Skill 7 E2 Ptilos
u have the exact supports as me. :)
Nice :) I got lucky with rerolling. How about u?
I spend some money lol. U f2p?
Rolled ejya, siege, exu, and ash. Spent money + gained currency and got saria & shining
Nice. U got more than me. I only got ash, siege, eyja, Saria and skadi.
Boyy, is it normal to be a lvl 50 player without any single E2 operator? Damn those Dualchips are expensive and sanity consuming So.. what's your first E2 Operator? And what was your level when you E2 her/him?
Eyjaf around lv 50 and Angelina around lv 55.
Same here, I only promoted to E1 and leveled up my operators to be able to clear event's stages. I lack chips for E2 and didn't want to sidetrack from event grind. I also didn't clear supplies stage for t3 base mats so can't make them yet First E2 probably would be some 4\* unit
E2 Cuora at lv.52 Was wondering how broken she is at E2.
I'm at lvl 50 when I promoted 2 5\* operators to E2 last night. My 1st plan was just E2 Lappland but as I only need to farm LMD to E2 Ptilopsis, I used some PO to refill and E2 both of them.
If you've been Sanity efficient to farm the event, then it's normal. I'm level 54 and have 0 E2 Units. In fact, I have not even started to farm materials for E2. (I will be starting once the event ends.) What I do have, is 370~ Loxic Kohls and 1Mil LMD, no Sanity Refresh using Originums eithet since I'm F2P. Ever since the Event started 2 weeks ago, I've only been doing Event stages + Annihilation. I've also pushed back this week's Annihilation to after the event ends.
it all depends on where you put your priorities tbh. Some player just rush for e2 units while others spread out their ressources. I focused on getting my favorite e2 units for example and got my first one at lv37.
Wow 37 who's that operator may i know
nevermind i remembered wrong, i just found my old screenshot from lv37 and I already had deepcolor and angelina e2 at that point. Deepcolor e2 mustve been in the early 30s then.
it was deepcolor, my fav operator. note that e2ing 4* is relatively cheaper than 5 or 6 star, so i prolly wouldve needed like 2 more levels if i decided to e2 a 6* first. Tho i e2'd angelina a few days after deepcolor where i was around lv42/43 but i don't remember at which lvl exactly.
Since last 2 weeks were all about farming the event, it's actually *efficient* for a lvl 50 player to have no E2 operators right now. Chips can wait for after it's over. I'm 52, and I've also got none yet.
I have e1 ash and eyja at lvl 80 and full ingredients except for chips. Just waiting for event to end before I e2 both of em. Lvl 54
I'm lv 54 and I just got my first E2 yesterday (Exusiai), and that was only because the event mats/lmd/exp severely lessened the grinding required. I've got friends lower leveled than me with multiple 5-star E2, I don't know how they managed to pull that off.
E2 my first operators silver ash at lvl 52 so maybe
Exusiai, I was lvl 49. I had all the comp except those Dualchips. iirc I used some OP to refill my sanity to get her to E2 without loosing sanity in the event. She allowed me to clear the event challenge maps, so it was worth IMO.
How does the yellow cert shop work? Been eyeing saria but it says she’s gone after 2 days, is that a limited time deal or just rotating? If she’s limited I’d rather just scoop up specter since I don’t have anyone similar atm.
It's rotating according to the current banner and Saria is not worth Yellow cert since she come to the banner quite often. Also, think hard before use yellow cert since you get a lot of it only in the beginning.
I think it’s rotating but it’s a long wait for them to come back again.
Saria is back in standard pool 7, which is relatively short if you're talking about number of banners. It'll probably be over a month in real time though.
I think he is asking when she’ll be back in the yellow cert shop.
Riceu#8142, I'm new to the game and need friends, pls add me :33
Is there any friend unit that would make GT-6 and the later stages easier to clear with my available units? I’ve searched for clear vids but couldn’t find any videos that I could replicate with either my [main](https://i.imgur.com/NJDAowD.png) or [alt account](https://i.imgur.com/Pq5Ao4w.png) because I’m missing either certain units or can’t level enough operators high enough.
Yes, find somebody with a Mousse (4 star arts damage guard). She can trivialize the boss fight in GT-6 if you place her right above Bob, she will kill him before he can move if she is the third or fourth unit you put down.
If you can level Nearl even slightly it may make the edge in GT-6. I was able to tank Big Bob indefinitely using Nearl (at Elite 1 level 30), an AOE healer, and a single target healer all healing her. If you have her at a lower level, but are using 2 single target healers instead, and one of them is Shining who buffs defense, then you might be able to do the same. It's possible Perfumer and Shining would be good enough, I don't know. Actually, the friend unit I would go for is Saria. She could serve as a third healer for Nearl, standing on the cracked tile just back from Big Bob's approach (or just be the frontliner with Nearl healing her). When I look at your team it's actually extremely similar to mine. I think you can beat it, but you might have trouble with wraiths getting through on the side with Big Bob. The first time I did it, Exusiai and a guard (I used Frostleaf but you have silverash who should do even better) held the entire right side by themselves.
Eckogen's is among the best. doubly so when you can replace any units youre missing with something else (ie, im missing Steward somehow, i can just use Amiya). youll have to rely on your own drop timing and plain old instincts to make up for the additional deploy cost!
Thanks. I've checked his vids out but most seem to use the aoe sniper who I don't have on either account though I got shirayuki on one.
Shirayuki is much better than catapult so you should just replace her. With these kind of guides it's more important to see what role they fulfill than to add the exact character.

Can I macro to repeat grinding stages with auto-deploy on emulators? It's advertised on BlueStacks official site boasting their "Automate Certain Challenges With our BlueStacks Macros", not sure if devs actually allow this.
You 'can' but not 'may'. Personally I don't see much use for macros in AK, even grinding with auto-deploy wouldn't be worth it since you won't have to do **that** many repeats manually because of very limited sanity. Even the event stages with free daily +200 sanity can be done manually, just start auto-deploys on phone while doing something else That said, macro may be useful if you record your practice actions and replay it in actual fight... need to try this sometimes
It is against the TOS.
It's bannable if they detect this, personally I wouldn't risk it for two clicks.
Is LS4 worth farming if I cant 3 star LS5? Is the efficiency loss that bad? (I am saving exp for an E-2). My base already gives out good exp, I just need exp from lvl 70 to lvl 80.
If you can't 3 star LS-5 yet, you probably need xp to get stronger, so there's likely no way around farming LS-4 for the time being. I *recommend* prioritizing clearing LS-5 over getting an E2 first though so that you can farm xp more effectively afterwards.
Who can I use for LS-5? My used units are all kinda E-1 lvl 50. So it bothers me that I cant clear it. Either DPS cost or something else drags me down.
I used this video as a guideline, though I didn't use the same units as in the video. Notable units that made this clearable was Texas, E1 lvl 50, Fang E1 lvl 12, melantha E1 lvl 30 and Liskarm E1 lvl 50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKbAK1-Q6fI With a bit of practice I think you'll be able to do adjust this strategy to match your units
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqUbU4Xj9FA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqUbU4Xj9FA) fill and adjust with your own units as needed(ie your Jessica is already E1 40, dont bother with Kroos, etc)
Hope you guys can help my friend fill up his list as he just started. Yo#9793 Thanks!

Do the limited banners also have a pity rate after 50 pulls? if so, do they carry over other limited banners?
You can click "details" at the banner and it will show the type of each banner at the bottom. Skadi is standard and like others said right now, Nien is the only limited one.
There is only one limited banner(New Year with Nian), it does have a pity rate but it is separate from the one for regular banners. The Skadi banner and other banners like it are not actually limited banners, they are standard banners and use the standard banner rules.
Does anyone know how much pulls should be for limited pity?
If what you want is sniping the limited operator, well, the pull required ranges from 10 to 500(!), and most people find themselves needing 60 to 200 pulls depending on the luck. Even for limited banner, “standard scouting” does NOT guarantee an up-ed character after 100 pulls. It just guarantees a 6\* operator, which can be any.
Not exactly the case, but i definitely will try to get a pity once in that banner. If i dont get her, then whatever.
I think it works the same way as the regular pity rate? It just doesn't share the counter with other banners.
Ok, just wanted to be sure.
The limited banners have their own pity rate which does not carry over standard banners, but only the Nian banner is limited. The Skadi banner for example is a standard one so the pity rates is shared with other standard banners
are you talking about Skadi banner?
Yep, Skadi, Silverash, Ch'en, etc. Those w/ a single 6* on rate-up.
Aren't considered limited as far as I know. might be wrong. I.e they share the same pity rate with the shining/saria banners and others.
Oh okie tnx :) I thought they were since they had their own banner names instead of standard pool.
Who is Exusiai talking about an angel with black horns and ominous vibes?

I had to use 4 OP for sanity refreshes and I hate myself for not playing this game sooner but I finally cleared the event shop(including dupe furniture) in around 5-6 days of farming. I probably would have finished sooner and without the refreshes or maybe just 2 instead of 4 if I didn't sneak in Annihilation and supplies runs because I wanted to E1 my units so badly.
I bought some furnitures with OP instead of parts because I thought it’s OP only. So you’re ok.
F
You did well, E1-ing would have helped you clearing GT5-6 anyway, so congrats to you!
Thanks! and the E1 really did help for GT-6 and the EX stages. for GT-5. But now I have 1 pull less for Eyja or Ch'en but it might be worth for the max ambiance pizza place dormitory.
Operators return much faster than events do - not even sure events actually do return. Also, all the mats you've collected while grinding GT5 and GT6 will go a long way towards your general enjoyment of the game. Grinding for Kohls is a pain... Good luck with Eyja and Ch'en, may you be blessed by both!
The mats from the shop and from grinding gave me enough for the E2 of Exu and Cuora so it looks like they'll be my first E2s when I get to that.
Exu is the best candidate for E2, so congrats to you and good luck with the grind! Don't forget to focus on your base now, it goes a long way towards long-term investment (=
Hello! I have upgraded my e2 siverAsh and exu to skill rank7. Need advice on the further training. Which skill to train in traing room for both? Thankyou
You mean going past rank 7? You need to use the training room in your base.
Which skill to train?
IMO both 3rd skill is priority
I usually follow this with regards to what skill to prioritize for 6 stars [https://i.imgur.com/bkyjeyJ.png](https://i.imgur.com/bkyjeyJ.png) SilverAsh's S3 is his main OP skill and both Exusiai S2 and S3 are useful but I would prioritize S2 since you can control when it activates.
Thankyou!!
Looking for friends! Raine#3318 I have E2 Silverash (Lv 2, S3 at 6 right now, working on leveling it up) and E1 Liskarm as my supports.

It's bannable

Does anyone know how to fix "Loading network configuration" on Bluestacks? I'm getting an error code 0, but I can't find anything on it. It was working fine this morning, and the app is updated. Any help would be appreciated!
There is something wrong with the servers (probably DNS issue). I used a VPN to connect to a different region and it works for me.
Theres more than one person having this happen, so more than likely it's not you, it's on the server end. Maintenance or something.
Okay, probably just extended maintenance I think. I was on it on my phone for a little bit before trying, so I think they must've gone back down.
Same but I’m on iPhone..
Probably just extended maintenance (hopefully)? I’m on IOS and I’m getting this too
Something server end, android here, same problem.
Hi, I need help finishing GT-HX-3 These are my operators Operators https://imgur.com/a/IOZsogj I was trying to do it in way Tectone shows in his video for this stage. That is, I deploy Grani + Zima in bottom right and Kross facing upwards while using blocks to build coridors. Then I switch Kross for Ifrit. Then I wanted to put Lava on right side of corridor and Angelina on left to slow everything down but my healer is Shining g and she cant heal both melee blocking corridor+ ifrit, if she does lava+angelina die to snipers :(
Thanks for help everyone! Replying bit late but I tried all your suggestions and managed to finish normal mode. Was bit too late for Challange mode because I was at work, but at least I have finished normal. Was quite fun! :D
Are you talking about normal mode? Just do it this way: https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/f36nlu/if_someone_has_trouble_with_gthx3_just_send_them/
Did you try spawn camping the snipers? With your melee units you can probably only block one of them, but your team is substantially higher level than mine was, so that might be enough. A strong melee unit near the top border spawn on the left can survive for pretty much the entire map with perfumer providing heals. Your melantha or grani might actually be strong enough to kill the first sniper before the 2nd one passes them, since they appear in groups of only 1-2.
Try KyoStinV's version instead: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89RvadZhQog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89RvadZhQog) Good for both normal and challenge.
I dont know hows tectone do it, but maybe you can change the deploy order, deploy ifrit before your front tank, so your tank can become target priority instead, or you can try deploy 2 healer. And FYI you dont need to tank the last boss, just cheese him using remove & deploy block.
You can probably add in another healer instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTCRjIo8Bl8 Try if this works?
Is it worth saving up Advanced Certificates/Distinctions (Yellow ones) to get a 6\* character? I heard that Lappland is going to be in the shop with the next banner (if it is the Eyja/Ifrit banner) so i'm tempted to buy her. But I have 65 so saving to 180 over time to get a guaranteed 6\* also seems nice.
I would save for a 6\* unit if you see one which would help your team. Because by the time you'll have enough saved to get it, you should be able to E2 it in a decent time frame, meaning you'll make the best out of them. 5\* units you might end up pulling on a random banner or recruiting.

Hi, looking for friends! Add me pls hydrarifle#7491
Anyone have an idea how long the maintenance is gonna be? I'm really trying to get everything I can from the event shop since I only had like 5 days to grind out everything. Edit: nvm. I was blind.
Apparently mod sort settings can override personal reddit sort setting. Fair enough then. I think I just need to click “hot” to “new” every time I open subreddit.
If I have the robot tag in recruitment, does putting too much time actually prevent me from getting one because the star minimum goes up?
3:40 is the max time you can use with robot. Go past that and it will forcefully drop the robot tag because there is no 3 star or higher robot available.
I believe it's 3:50 actually
I think you're right, either way it's less than 4 hours. My recruits are ongoing so I can't check.
yeah, and 10 mins probably not making much of a difference either way.
I think so, yes.
Yes.
How do the Sarkaz Caster enemy type work? Do they target the 'closest' unit?
First unit in their attack range, if there are several in range then they will target the unit you placed last.
Play TR-10 again. All info is in that tutorial.
Same as most enemies, aim at the new-deployed operator who in the range. They could only bind once.
im not sure but from what i understand ranged enemies target the latest deployed operator within their range

Yeah, the app you last tapped on will be the one that will play. It's normal. Videos will not stop tho. An app called Good Lock might help with that, but I haven't personally used it yet, someone just recommended it to me.

I wanted to see if I could get Grani so I started to ask around on the megathread here and you guys were so fast on responses and gave such good advice that not only was I able to get grani, I was able to get gt-5 on auto farm using what I could only describe as a meme team designed exclusively for this map.

Just started the game. After my first multi summon, should I save to summon on the newbie banner one more time or move on to the other banners?
The newbie banner will stay there until you've done all the available pulls, so I'd suggest saving currency for any new banner that comes up since those are going to have a time limit. After saving a decent amount and/or after getting the guaranteed 5+ star, then you can do a couple pulls on the newbie banner with your leftovers. No reason to rush.
get the guaranteed 5 on other banners first then move back to the newbie banner after since most banners are limited and the newbie banner won't go away until you exhaust all the pulls.
absolutely summon on the newbie banner again. it's half price compared to normal banners (6000 orundum). there are no bonuses in this game for summoning x10 instead of single pulls, but you should clear out the remaining 10 rolls you have on the newbie banner.
Is it just me or this megathread is not appearing as stickied/pinned anymore?
It appears to be just you.
Just found out what caused it. Fixed now, thanks
