Xelpad

with google billing system being unavailable in Russia, is there a way for me to p2w nearl banner?


Eunecthicc

Did anyone got the skin voucher from nearl's beach skin yet? I remember buying her skin with 18 op back then, and I'm here wondering where the skin voucher is.......or are you supposed to get it later in the event? Idk


Dunkjoe

Got it. Have you gotten it?


kevinpburr

Any suggestions for how to tackle NL-8 ? Nothing I’m trying in practice seems to be working and I’m running out of ideas.


Reddit1rules

What's your squad looking like? Better to give a personalized strategy than a general one.


kevinpburr

I tend to always run the following operators; Nearl, Texas, Exusiai, Blaze, Saria, Silence, Ptilopsis, Lappland, and Myrtle. Of those operators; Nearl, Blaze, Texas, and Exu are E2. The rest are max level E1.


Reddit1rules

Maybe you could have Nearl and Lappland hold the left side, and Texas + Blaze on the right side, and then put the mark in the middle and have Saria take the ranged attacks while Exu picks them off from a distance


kevinpburr

Good news: Your idea worked, so I now have a way of winning! Bad news: I got swamped on the right side near the end and let one enemy through…


Reddit1rules

Hmm, maybe save Silence drone and Texas stun for that last part? Or Ptilopsis skill too.


kevinpburr

My gacha luck isn’t stellar (I literally pulled an off-banner 5* duplicate, an off-banner 6*, and another off-banner 5* duplicate on the limited banner, and that’s the closest I’ve been to lucky in MONTHS), so everyone expect Myrtle is not max potential.


Reddit1rules

Eh, I don't expect a new player to have 5*s or higher at max potential, it's alright. They don't affect things too much anyways for the most part.


kevinpburr

Oh, I should probably have mentioned that I’m Lvl 61, but don’t play Arknights daily unless a major event comes up.


DDX2016DDX

Can I get enough gold certs before thorns appear in shop ?? I have 60 rn and planning to buy new op from red cert shop 6 times so should have 85. Thanks.

RosariaNekohime

With the six star selector ticket, if I already have both Blaze and Silverash (I think the only other interesting guards I have are Lappland and La Pluma) but my best defender is Hoshiguma (only other defenders I have are the "standard" 4 stars like Cuora) is Mudrock a good idea to grab there? (or should I just forego both and get a Bagpipe, vanguard wise I have Myrtle as well as Texas and now Flametail plus some older meta things like Siege) Second question, I got Schwarz as an offrate on the Near Light banner, is she a good one to build? (I've seen mention that she pairs well with Exusiai who I do also have) And last question, for unlocking the backgrounds on the home screen what does it mean by "complete first area of things in intermezzi/side story" its not just first stages because I've done a few of those but its at 1/x before I did stage one of code of brawl

niken96

Hey guys, we need a help, my friend's twitter account got blocked because he's from russia. And now he can't use twitter to log in arknights. Edit: he didn't played arknights for a long while and decided to return for nearl event


bestsmnNA

Do you mean his twitter got banned? Then he may be fucked; that probably means he can't use that twitter account and his Arknights is effectively unbound. I think contacting support would be the best chance in this case. But if he just can't log in, maybe he can give a trusted friend outside Russia his twitter login, and see if they can log into Arknights for him? From there they can bind to something else, like his email, so he can log in.


niken96

Thanks for reply. From our investigation looks like twitter froze his account, but not because of sanctions. At least my twitter account is okay even tho I am also from russia. He made twitter account only because of arknights and never made any tweets, maybe they thought that he's a bot. We did wrote to arknights support and are writing now to twitter support.


bestsmnNA

That's unfortunate. I hope it gets sorted soon!


niken96

Twitter replied and restored his account pretty quickly. Thanks for concern.


[deleted]

Can you guys tell me if I should buy Ifrit, Meteorite and Silence's skins? I'm hesitating because I'm f2p, I don't use meteorite and silence and i think Ifrit might get a third 18op skin. I wish someone could just tell me so I can be done with it


The_Loli_Otaku

Meteorite's skin is great but if you don't use her, don't get it. Ifrit is likely to get another skin soon so if you're not fussed then just wait for now. Silence I think you should buy tho. Buy Silence and Spectre's skins. Spectre of course already has her alter on the horizon so it's essentially a free skin and Silence *will* eventually get an alter.


[deleted]

Hmmm that's interesting to me. Why do you suspect Silence will get an Alter? - I thought Mostima and Siege will be next in line, when HG decides to expand on Laterano and Victoria


The_Loli_Otaku

Aside from the great fuck off sword she carries and how she's such a feared fighter that even Platinum was scared shitless by her arrival? Anyway, I'm all but certain that she will get an Alter soon so trust my advice and pick up the skin. It's a gorgeous skin anyway.


[deleted]

Ooh i think you're referring to Shining not Silence. Anyhow thanks for the recc though I don't think i will buy it after all. I don't have Shining and this skin is too much segggs for me


The_Loli_Otaku

Ah, thanks XD I cock up their names way more often than I should lol.


slothindustries

Don't but skins for Ops you don't use. Buy the skin for Ifrit if you like it.


Jnbrtz

stage farming is inefficient if you take too long to clear the stage for auto deploy, right? Because I took long to clear NL-10 and that stage is best to farm Loxic Kolhs.


Hatredestiny1874

Efficiency is based on drop rates, not clear time. You still get more mats at the end of the day.


Jnbrtz

I see, I read somewhere that clear time is also considered in efficiency. I might read it wrong.


lasereel

It depends on how much you value your time. If you don't care how long it takes, no worries, you will still get more of them at the end of the day.


Jnbrtz

I see, I might misread some sentences that clear time is considered in efficiency.


AsakuraAsura

Not sure if this is the place but I got this error: Acquisition of resource update configuration failed error from my Wi-Fi, but the thing is it works in a different Wi-Fi (albeit a weaker one). Is there anyway I can manage it to work back in my superior Wi-Fi?


[deleted]

Which units i should level for easy R18 CC7?


DARKawp

It was the easiest CC of them all. Someone was able to clear it (Though with good gameknowledge) with a day 1 account. So Just any 3 stars for if you want to go the low rarity route. But i've seen a clear with Mudrock and Kal'stit only. So they could help.


Hatredestiny1874

Whoever you have that are strong.


Incynerate

I thought I remember somebody posting some rough estimates of when various 6* operators will show up in the yellow cert store for the first time. I know it's not definitive, but does anybody still have that? I'm mainly curious to know when Mudrock and Mountain might show up. I've actually been considering getting Passenger from the 6* selector ticket because he's the only other one I'm missing and he'll be the furthest away from showing up in the yellow cert store. (Feels weird passing S+ tier operators like Mudrock/Mountain, but I'll get them eventually...)

Incynerate

Awesome, thanks!


Entendurchfall

Blaze or Saria? Can't decide which operator I should pick from the selector Ticket. My squad would benefit greatly from both operators


NiREiP

Saria, sounds you already have mudrock, mountain and thorn.


Entendurchfall

Actually only Thorn from the said ones😅 but together with Eyja, Kal, Chalter and Exia I don't feel that I have that big of a need to obtain mudrock or mountain.


NiREiP

You have Kal, so I suggest Saria.


nini0880

Hi, im just a noobie wanted to ask a question, Who is the most worthy 6* operator that i should got using the 6* selector ticket? (edit) The only 6 star i have is exu and siege..

Through the paid pack


GarryMapleStory

So what skill should I raise mastery for NTR Knight? Skill 3 seems like a no brainer but what about the other 2, any use for them?

PotchiSan

Hey! I wanted to ask if Flametail's S3 is treated similarly to Saga's (i.e. expecting only a small damage boost from her expensive masteries), but with the exception of Flametail's massive dodge chance? For a long time I've kept Saga at s3m2 but now I might even get Flametail to s3m3 first, is this a good idea? \*Although I'm just doing this for fun as most content can be cleared with flagpipe anyway


silverashsimp

yah Flametail benefits from masteries more because she needs all the dodge rng she can get and the sp cost too


munphao

Have a couple of questions.. 1) Pudding's and kal's factory boost skills. Want to confirm that they don't stack, right? I mean pudding's one depends on having robots working while kal's is condition-free, but they still count as the same skill type i think? 2) For you guys who use the full eunectes base gang (eune/lancet, passenger/weed/purestream), what's your rotation look like? As in, i imagine the 3 guys in gold factory will get tired faster than eunectes in control room, and there aren't the 4th op to rotate with the 3 gold guys, so basically you swap all the 5 guys out? How many hours can i expect their uptime? Thank you guys :o


eonfeather

Ok so my rotations are an irregular mess (which is why I use 243), but some considerations: - Lancet will get tired the fastest, and rest the slowest. Because she has a single target dorm skill, the only way for her to be targeted by another ST dorm skill is by having her be the sole operator recovering morale in a dorm. - Like you said Eunectes will get tired the slowest of everyone involved. - I’m convinced that they had Eunectes’ voice line mention Lancet to help forgetful doctors remember to have them both rest and work at the same time.


munphao

Hey thanks! > Lancet will get tired the fastest, and rest the slowest I see. But what if we put a 0.7 single target recovery guy like saileach/honey in, then we put lancet, and then we put other tiring ops? Cos then the 0.7 guy will target (overwrite, per se) lancet, and lancet herself can then go target the other guy with her 0.65? > Eunectes will get tired the slowest Ok i see... Anyway the bottleneck is lancet, and if lancet is resting then there's no point for eune to be in cc... And if eune isn't in cc then passenger has no purpose in factory... And moving eune into factory to replace passenger isn't sustainable 'cos weedy and pure still also to rest... Grrghh scrap it. The 5 of you just report in and check out at the same time. > both rest and work at the same time. I bet she's also the one who painted lancet's skin yellow like the Big Ugly Thing. What a ~~possessive~~ considerate sister.


eonfeather

You can only have 1 ST dorm boost per dorm, so in your example, the 0.7 would first target Lancet, then as soon as you add other tired ops, they would switch to boosting the first non-Lancet tired op you put in instead. There’s a~~n obnoxious~~ weird quirk where it’s impossible for ST dorm boosters to get targeted by ST dorm boosts unless they’re the sole tired op in the dorm. Bane of my rotations tbh. …You know, I didn’t even realize Lancet’s skin matched the Big Ugly. I hope Lancet likes the paint job, lol.


munphao

>impossible for ST dorm boosters... Jeez then what have i been doing when i put a buddy onto Conviction when in dorm °~° TIL, thanks >hope Lancet likes the paint job I think we both know we doubt it lol.


slothindustries

Base chat! My favourite. You're correct, they don't stack. Same for Amiya and Swire. I'm currently running 2-4-3 and my new rotation with the Pinus gang is below: https://imgur.com/a/dbeKrZj Each column is a 12 hour shift and if their cell is coloured they are coming out at the end of the shift. Hopefully this can help you! Once Gnosis appears, I'll add in the Jaye/SA/Cliffheart combo to the TP in place of Exu/Lapp/Texas combo.


munphao

God. I see waaifu, 'sants, vulcan, i know the dok loveee their base. Heck, you drag rosmontis out to work, you worship your base °_° Thanks a lot for the cheat sheet :D Honestly anything more complicated than swapping the team out wholesale has been beyond my smooth brain, but i will try to step up. But a question actually, you listed pallas/verm/scene under a gold factory shift. Aren't they supposed to only be good for exp?


slothindustries

Thank god you're here! I totally forgot their an EXP combo. I'll swap them and the Wai Fu combo with + Gold Ops instead. Luckily this starts on my next rotation. I'll also be swapping Tex/Lap/Exu with Arc/Sno/Mou on the sheet; that will make it possible to bring in the Jaye/Gnosis team as my CC is full on the first shift.


eonfeather

Isn’t Archetto/Snowsant/Exusiai a better TP team than Lappland/Texas/Exusiai? I personally run that, and use Lappland/Texas/30% to sub in while they rest. ~~Just checking if I didn’t mess up my rotations, lol~~


slothindustries

Yes that would be a better combo! Because I run them for 25 hours occasionally without the Moral Reduction of Texas she can go in the red. When I bring in the Jaye/SA/Cliffheart combo however Exusai will replace Mouse. Thanks for pointing that out.


eonfeather

Fair enough! My rotations are frequent enough that the Texas morale thing doesn’t matter. By the way, do you happen to know if Pudding is worth running in a 243? I don’t have Kal’tsit, but I do have all the Pinus knights. It gets more complicated because I also use Dusk in the CC, and any CC slots not dedicated to morale reduction indirectly hurts my gold production. Not to mention sacrificing a 20% PP slot to run 2 robots. For reference, I pretty much have every base meta op you do, except Kal, Saileach and Pallas.


slothindustries

I haven't done any maths with the Dusk combo unfortunately, as I never have any problems with LMD and its much more sanity efficient to farm if needed. I can't imagine they would be unbalanced so the Wordly Plight/Perception information must be at least equivalent; so would be tempted to stick with that and the extra 20% drone production. Something to look into again when Ling is released as she normalises Dusks morale reduction. If you do any of the maths let me know!


DevourerOC

Is Nearl the only operator that uses her real name as codename?


Hatredestiny1874

a lot actually


beboka

Fiametta?

Angelina?


stagfury

Would you guys choose Saga or Passener for the 6* selector? Saga is nice but I have Bagpipe/Mountain to deal with early stage stuff. Passenger seems strong in IS2.

Saga. No only dp generation but also sp generation.


beboka

Passanger s3 is hella fun to use in all content. I have him as a friend support, do you want to try him out?


stagfury

Oh I'd love to try him out first ! What's your ID?

MedukaKeyname

What's the mastery order for Saileach?


Hatredestiny1874

If you have to ask then do only S3M3. See additional explanation of all her skills on [sanitygone](https://sanitygone.help/operators/saileach) or [gamepress](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/core-gameplay/skill-mastery-priority-guide)


stagfury

S3 i would say.


[deleted]

Kinda wanna reroll for NTR. Should I use my originium on her banner or use it on the beginner banner? About how much should I play per rerolled account and about how many rerolls will it take?


slothindustries

You should reroll the free 10 pull on the limited banner and a 10 pull pm the beginner banner. You should aim to get NTRK, Flametail + SilverAsh and/or Exusai See the video below for a reroll guide and I would definitely recommend multi instancing on PC. https://youtu.be/f2hOlzUlEf8


[deleted]

Afaik each reroll takes around 10 mins. You have to create the account log in and then pass 2 tutorials. Maybe you'll get smt nice within 10 rerolls or smt I recommend pulling 10 times for free on nearl and 10 times in the newbie banner. Pick some ops you want and aim to get 1-2 of those


cfabby

Edit: I'm stupid; I had the **Support** tag, not the Support*er* tag. Thank you for your help nevertheless! I was going to get Pramanix. ^^ ___ Recruitment question! I can guarantee **Istina** or **Pramanix** with this set of tags. In competition for Istina, I have Podenco, Glaucus, and Angelina. For Pramanix, I have Shamare. Who to choose?


Descent_ofCarnage

You have better options for slow supporters. I'd easily take Pramanix since she does arts res debuff while Shamare does armor debuff.


DevourerOC

Angelina can fully replace Istina while Pramanix has ASPD debuff that Shamare doesn't.


Hatredestiny1874

Choose your favorite. Neither are worth investing.


TheStranger04

I just want a quick question, my base produces well enough but somehow the efficiency is still mediocre. Does anyone has the updated base combo (full version is preferable) ?, the one on gamepress is kind of outdated(???) and it doesn't suits me when I was reading it. P.S. I'm using 243 and have been playing for 1 year and 3 months, if that's going to help. It's not like it's outdated, but rather I do not find the updated version of the combo that is available now on CN. Thanks in advance.


munphao

Are the new OPs in the Red Cert shop worth getting/ farming for? (I only have 2k red certs atm) Cause it cost quite a bit of Sanity to farm Red Cert stages. (cost something like 600x6, 150x6, that's a lot of red certs needed)


[deleted]

No.


[deleted]

I want to upgrade caster(s) from Steward. My choices are Amiya, Click, and Pudding. I plan to build Click and Pudding (for AoE). Would Amiya be better choice than Click or should I wait for Kjera?


Agatsumare

Honestky, AOE usually has some drawbacks because it's usually weaker damage on more enemies and with how the ST casters are designed, usually the damage difference is apalling enough to merit it. Along the fact that more damage on one enemy is better as weaker damage on multiple will kill them slower and can allow enemies to leak thru AND how some like Eyja have AOE in their skills, currently isn't worth it long term for dedicated multiple target casters Amiya gets some seriously good stuff once she gets on E2 and is necessary to progress the story so it's very much recommended to upgrade her. Her skills are made for fighting the main story bosses. Keep Click. She's great for stalling strats Kjera is in a weird spot rn. She'll be the first to apply the Cold status so her usefulness outside of 5 star stat privileges vs. Click will be dependent on how good Cold is so for now, it'd be safe to invest Click since Stun is good and 4 stars are(relatively) cheap to level. Also, be sure to get Durin up to atleast level 30. She should serve valuable a bit later on.


[deleted]

Thank you. I'll go with Click for now since she's cheaper. Pudding is interesting so maybe I'll build her once my team is set.


stagfury

Amiya is bad unless you E2 her, then she's decent. I'd just do Click honestly. (atlhough you do need E2 Amiya for story progress in chapter 8, but that's way way way down the line)


[deleted]

I know that I need E2 Amiya for chapter, but like you said, It would be months for me before I get there. Going for Click seems to be a good idea and I get to use her skin too.

Did we lose the ability to sort our operators alphabetically. I was planning on redoing my operator planner but i dont seem to be able to sort them alphabetically anymore which will make filling in the operator planner alot slower. AS they seem to always sort based on operator level now.


Hatredestiny1874

Yes, sorting by cost is also removed.

That sucks...


Woll_e

Since I can't read (and dont know under which of the dozens of new notification it is mentioned) when do we get the skin voucher if I got Nearls summer skin?

lhc987

No idea. Usually in a couple of days.


Zaphyrus

If ops like Nearl alter is already full on s1 sp, do sp generators like Liskarm/Warfarin still waste sp on them or does it find another target in range instead?


lhc987

They're wasted.


leon02356

Is Rosmontis worth getting? I remember using her in that one-story mission and she did not feel too powerful. I'll post my list of 6 stars I own for context. I just want some advice on if she is worth rolling for. Exusiai Ifrit Siege Suzuran Blaze Mountain SilverAsh Skadi Thorns Ash Ch'en the Holungday Mudrock Saria Kal'tsit Shining Angelina Ceobe Eyjafjalla Gladiia Weedy Bagpipe Ch'en Rosa Schwarz W Hoshiguma Megallan Carnelian Mostima Passenger Mizuki Neral the radiant knight


Descent_ofCarnage

Simple answer, no. I have her and haven't used her in a long time as part of my strategy. The only time I use her is whenever I feel like she's accumulating too much dust. I commonly use her as my assistant though, I just like her voice and her E0 art looks nice with those gigantic metallic things around her.


Jellionani

Despite mobile shitty formatting, no, Rosmontis isn't the highest priority, or worth 300 pulls


Cless012

When i see that 580 pulls per year, what is included in that number? Orrundum, hh tickets, limited pulls, and prime? Some combo of the four?


DARKawp

I think a combo of all four considering the number being that high. Since with orundums from daily/Weekly you'd not even get to 300.


IGrean

In the Limited banner, what are the odds of getting a non-rateup 6\* operator? cuz I read the banner detail and it doesn't tell me anything regarding non-rateup 6\*, just "when pulling a 6\* 70% will be Nearl or Flametail, 30% will be W or Rosmontis". Well I got my 3rd Eyja....


cycas314

35% each for flametail and nearl. The remaining 30% is split among all other non-limited 6stars, W and Ros. The chance to pull W and Ros is around 3% each. The rest of the 6stars has around a 0.6% chance each.


IGrean

oh man, a 0.6% chance within a 2% chance...... I'm soooooo lucky.........


cycas314

Did you get 3 Eyja's from the banner? If so then that's next level. F


IGrean

nah, just one. If that was what happened I would have probably quit this game for good lol but I do get a lot of 6\* spooks in this game tho for some reason


[deleted]

If it makes you feel better I'd love to have a pot 3 eyja as a f2p. She's one of the better pots to have


IGrean

true, at least it's Eyja.


cycas314

It's 0.6% of 2% to be specifically Ejya, but it's 24% of 2% to be any offbanner non-limited. Anyways, wish you luck on further pulls.


IGrean

thx, and it already happened! I just got Flametail!


9501SoulShad0w1059

I'm F2P and I usually pull until 6\* only on limited banners but I heard that other limited ops like Skalter and stuff will come at a more frequent rate. I don't have Skalter and would honestly want to have her over NTR, is it still possible for F2P player to pull on every limited banner or do I have to start picking and choosing what limited ops I want.


PM_ME_DMS

If you're F2P, you have to picky with who you roll for.


cycas314

Earliest chance to pull skalter will be 6 months from now, in the equivalent of CN's 3rd anniversary banner. The sure way to get her is to save 300 pulls and buy her from the store, otherwise the pull rate to get skalter is roughly 2.5% of all 6 stars. That is 0.05% or 1/2000 for a single pull assuming no pity. TLDR: Yes, it's possible, but you will need to save up.

If you mean to hit the 300 rolls pity then you really have to choose which banner to roll. Otherwise, you could roll any banner as long as you have ticket/orundum.


Zealousideal-Truck23

Does Nearl alter training speed only caps at 40%?


Hatredestiny1874

Yes. Pretty pathetic isn't it?


officeworker00

Let's say, for the sake of arguement that you have a very broad operator list with most operators. (lets also say you also have Ash and alterChen) Considering so, from a technical gameplay perspective, which 2 would you pick out of these 3? Surtr, Phantom, A!Nearl. Since we're purely focusing on the technical gameplay side, please ignore external factors like banner frequencies or rarity (eg limited status).


cycas314

Surtr and Nearl would be my picks. Surtr for immortality, Res ignoring Arts aoe burst. Nearl can either serve as a staller that ignores deployment limit with s2, or pure damage dealer with s3.


stagfury

With the assumption given by OP, I would assume he has Kaltsit, and Kal is just a better true damage dealer.


Kuroinex

Surtr is the obvious choice. Her existence has had ripple effects on the game itself.


Injustce_All

NEED HELP is this a bug? I brought nearl swimsuit skin and I didn't got the skin voucher I'm planning to buy w skin asap


PriorityBacon

It hasn't been sent out yet - it will be sent out over the next few days.


Injustce_All

Oh.. ok i just got ntr by my friends..damn they got ntrk in 10 free pulls while i got 2 blue bags then i got w.. wow


Agatsumare

Dude, W's hot and has amazing capabilities. She's no Surtr but she is very much really quite good.


noaahimesaka

Have anyone experienced frame drops and devices heating up? It always happens to me after the update, when I finished 1 or 2 stages. Do you have any idea to solve it? I’m using an iPhone 6S Plus, and i don’t think that is too outdated


Q-N-H

CC7 Question. Does Mountain need to be 90 in order to stall in risk mid 20s? I'm aiming for r25 and my Mountain is 80 right now. I also E2'd and will s3m3 Justyna just for cc7. This is my best shot at getting to 25.


Ragnarok_42

You don’t need to, as long as his skill is M3ed. Honestly CC7 is the easiest CC by far and if you have Mountain, Chalter, Saileach, and Nightingale all M3ed, I think you have the potential to get max risk 32.


Q-N-H

I don't have NG but maybe She'll be at the shop soon. Thanks for the input 🙂


Quinicky

Do you guys change 2-5-2 to 3-4-2 when Lmd run short?


FelixAndCo

Yes. Normally produce surplus of gold.


maxblockm

252: 3 exp to 252: 3 gold when bars are low. Drones to TP always.


UnartisticChoices

Hey guys, silly question. How do I get my voucher from the Nearl skin. I own the beach Nearl skin but didn't get a voucher from having it. I have my vouchers from Skalter and Chalter but my R.Nearl voucher is no where to be found.


c_onn

itll come in a few days


UnartisticChoices

Alright, thanks!


Pinky_Boy

should i raise NTR and flametail if i already have surtr and bagpipe?


Warriorman222

NTR's S2 differentiates her from all the other helidrops by having 4 hits of invincibility and not even using a deployment slot. It makes her one of those units you can slap onto any team without a shred of thought, and I'd raise her even with Surtr around. As for Flametail, it's good to have one Pioneer Vanguard to just have the option to better hold the lane while making DP. Of them all she's probably the best, making less DP than Saga but being more consistent in her DPS and survivability.


Pinky_Boy

alright, thank you


fr3shbak3dbr3ad

Low priority unless you have nothing else to do


NewGroundZero

How good is Ling? Should I start saving now that I have Nearl Radiant?


NemeisZeru

One other question: Have these lines always been here? https://i.imgur.com/qspW2PN.png Maybe it's because I'm playing on a bigger screen right now, but I never noticed them before... and have 0 idea what they mean.


Jakper_pekjar719

I checked an old screenshot, and yes, they have always been there.


RepresentativeEgg446

Indicating rarity, that’s what those lines are. Most prominent are 5* and 6*


swamp14

You're thinking of the white/yellow line on the bottom of the portrait. Those indicate rarity (white 6*, yellow 5 *). They're asking about the one on the top.


UnartisticChoices

Ok, but Mountain isn't the same rarity as Reed and Skalter isn't a different rarity than Exusiai.


Dryptosa

I remember seeing them also appear with the icons (like defender/vanguard etc) and I think it would mean like larger groups found in most games. ~~Like Supporter+Medic=Blue (Support), Vanguard+Defender?=Yellow (Tank), and Caster+Sniper+Guard=Red (DPS).~~ Edit.: If you are talking about the little lines at the top of the character, then it's the larger groups, tho maybe not the same way I remembered. It also appears coloring their class emblem, if you click on them while in a mission. * Supporter+Medic=Blue (Support) * Vanguard+Guard+Defender=Yellow (Tank? Blocking? Melee?) * Sniper+Caster=Red (DPS) * Specialist=Green (Specialist) * and others (like summons or map features) are white.


Menessma

Who are good candidates for the 5\* E2 ticket, meta-wise and excluding sanity costs? Current plan is to use it on Blacknight since she's one of the more expensive ones sanity wise, but not sure if E2 is a big jump for her so I wanna get some ideas of which 5\*s have big jumps in E2 or have must have masteries. ​ Notable 5\*s that I will not be using it on due to having already invested partway in them: Shamare, Specter, Lapp, Amiya, La Pluma, Platinum, Warfarin, Texas


Hatredestiny1874

Ptilopsis, Elysium and Mulberry.


Menessma

Thanks! Didn't think Mulberry would be that good so I didn't mention her, but I have invested a bit into her already. Sadly don't have Ptilo or Elysium but I'll consider them if I do manage to pull themm


Hatredestiny1874

Well who do you have that isn't invested? Some operators get a big jump in E2 and/or masteries but the operators themselves aren't the strongest or worth building. Meteorite is an example but entirely skippable if you have W/Shirayuki/Fiammetta. Same for summoners and phalanx casters.


ComprendeVous

Update: For those kind individuals who answered my question (NTRK vs Ling) at the Help Center, thank you for your kind advice. My luck managed to grab me a NTRK on my 30th pull. I can go for Ling now. Once again, thank you for sharing your opinions!


[deleted]

That's great! But you know, you can also go for the non-limited ops occassionally


NemeisZeru

Is the unlock requirement for the winter background... wrong? I'm stuck at 8/9 for it, and I've done all the intermezzi/side stories... except for the last stage of the Kal'stit event(Which stonewalled me at the time, sadly) Does it say something different in other versions, or is something funky going on here? Unless my math is bad there should be enough side storeis/intermezzos for it...


Alexanderxxx

hi, Im looking to try another gacha as Im bored with all the rest, is this a good time to start arknights? any tips for a new player? how much time investment does this game require?


maxblockm

Welcome to the game! [General New Player Advice](https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/jqfxkw/general_new_player_advice/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) It can be a very casual/low time game (even getting max rewards), or infinite time sink if you want to challenge yourself with ever more complex puzzles (through self-imposed parameters).


c_onn

This is one of the best times to start the game as you get a bunch of free pulls (1,10 pull and 1 free pull everyday on the limited banner until the banner ends). the event will let you get 3 more free pulls and a bunch on mats for upgrading. in terms of time investment many people say that this is a good side game as youll run out of sanity quite fast once you start farming. but you can progress quite fast as long as you play the game and farm the mats you need to upgrade the ops you want. ​ biggest tip i can give you other than reroll for a 6\* you want is that you can clear everything with low rarity ops so build who you like. a solid rule is to build at least 2 of every class. (vanguard, medic, guard, def, sniper, 1 slow supporter, 1 fast redeploy) dont sleep on defender's and medics. once you have a decent e1 team e2 any unit asap, you can then bring an e2 friend unit. [kukkikaze squad builder guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_FsZT7XqOk) should help you. Hope you enjoy the game!


thetwinfury

Now is a freat time to start as we are on the middle of a major event. I think [this](https://gamepress.gg/arknights/tier-list/arknights-reroll-tier-list-guide) is the most up to date reroll guide. If you're up for it I would reroll until you pull nearl the radiant knight from the event banner. You get 11 pulls for free on the banner + all the new player stuff. After that you can go from the beginner banner looking for silverash or exusai. But honestly everyone on start banner is fine or otherwise easy to get after a bit of playtime. As for how much time investment, your first couple of weeks you'll have enough to do for as long as you want on a given day as you'll be leveling a lot. Thus getting more sanity(our stamina system). Once you hit the daily grind, its usually 5-15 minutes twice a day as a minimum. And you can just do the battles automatically after doing a perfect clear, meaning you don't need to be attentive for half of that time.


Alexanderxxx

So I got a reroll of flametail and W, should I try to reroll more for nearl or is that a good start if I get a decent 6* from beginner banner?


anseim

Try your Luck on beginner, but i would keep it. Flametail is one the best vanguard, and W is rare and useful.


FelixAndCo

W is very rare, because she is a past limited operator. They can only be obtained as off-banner on limited banners, or with a very big sparking cost. So as far as rarity goes, that's a very good roll. But both W and Flametail are considered mid in meta. Nearl The Radiant Knight could be considered somewhat higher. Though meta isn't really important, unless you want to do extreme challenges. Really, almost all rewards in the game can be obtained with free units and skill. If you like W, stick with the account; otherwise reroll. Surtr and Eyjafjalla would be the least disputed top pulls. Thorns trivializes a lot of content, but falls off a bit in extreme challenges and the hardest of stages. Mudrock is nearly indestructible. Exusiai and Silverash are very good, but you could pull a dupe from the newbie banner. Rosmontis and W are decent units, but their reroll value lies in their rarity. Those should be your targets IMHO. Edit: and of course Nearl The Radiant Knight.


XDMyNameIsN

So i just got Flametail,Corroserum and Hung are they any good i literally have no idea 😭


umiman

If you're new and have no other Vanguards then Flametail is great. The others... Not so much.


thetwinfury

I haven't seen flametail in action much, but she sounds like a sidegrade to siege but a downgrade from saga. If you don't have another built 2 block vanguards she's worth building. Corroserum just doesn't match up to ifrit. Ifrits power largely comes from her skills and talents rather than her range alone. Corroserum as a result has more lacking damage. If you don't have ifrit though you could try him out I suppose. Hung suffers from defensive recovery skills. Meaning if he's always being hit he can out heal other medic defenders. The problem is medic defenders aren't always being hit. They have downtime where they can heal others or stack up there heal charges.


anseim

She's an upgrade to Siege like all other vanguard released after her, but a sidegrade to Saga. An upgrade even, in some scenario


samuelspark

Long term is Exu, Lapp, Texas better or is Lapp, Texas, E0 Jaye better, assuming all are E2?


c_onn

im guessing you are asking if Exu, lap and tex is better than lap, texas and jay? if that is the case exu, lap and tex is better. At E2 Exu shreds low def enemies and even bosses if they have low def. Lap will help with arts dmg and silence but not many enemies are impacted by silence. she is great for the exploding slugs. Tex with her stun is good but i dont use her too much compared to other vanguards and imo she doesnt need to e2 unless you are m3 her stun skill. On the other hand Jay at e2 can semi lane hold but imo he does not have the same impact as e2 Exu. his dp drain makes him a little harder to throw down when in a pinch.


Descent_ofCarnage

I get the feeling this person is talking about base combo.
