Squads 3 & 4 coming later. The first one is fun as it uses no Defenders and no 6*s in their default composition. They also really show off Mouse in these first two, though she does have alternatives.
I'm probably gonna raise up my FEater more sooner rather than later.
Guardnights is going to be very viable in upcoming stuff like that Annihilation. I'm still gonna use my E1 Cuora though, she's just too good at locking down enemies for the ranged to blow up

Curious - anyone have any recommendations on a sub Vanguard for Siege? I'm thinking since I have Siege maxed out on trust that it might make sense to bring someone else to some of these low level farm maps where I don't really need Siege to murder everything so I can build up some trust on them while I farm (I wanna unlock that damn furniture... grrr). I'm not entirely sure which Vanguards fill the same "bulky 2 block" role she does. Maybe Zima? (I just got her so I haven't had enough time to mess with her to see how tanky she is)
He says Ch’en isn’t unique enough to really chase unless you’re paying and really want her. Save for Schwarz and Blaze.
My question, would you build Nearl or Gummi?
Also, getting my 6* ops to e2 a monumental input. I may switch to 1/5/3 in my base so I can pump out more XP.
Oh neat, this will help inform some of my picks for future content, thanks. Bit odd they're only on Chapter 6 though. But more time to grind and plenty of things to grind.
I guess I should keep an eye out for Apple Pie in the cert shop if she's as future proof as they say.

Zima is super tanky but won't have the same punch that Siege has.
Texas has the punch but isn't nearly as tanky. She does get up to a 3 second stun though that helps. She also has the quickest 'initial DP gain' for maps of any Vanguards.
Courier and Scavenger and anyone else are fine to backline, but you won't be getting as much DP from them.
Farmed more and just need 100k LMD for my first e2.
Still deciding if I should move right into SA next or some lower rarity operators.
SA e2 is something you want eventually... Truesilver is a giant field of face melting for a while. But just e1 at high levels and he can be used as basically a high damage defender with his second skill.
Started working on materials for SilverAsh, which had me farming 4-7 for the Manganese. My original clear wasn't super clean so I decided to change it to include different operators to farm some trust as I'm sure I'll be back there.
Nearl is solid, the combo of Lappland and Liskarm is hot, Deepcolor was on point.
If I level Deepcolor at all it will probably not be quite so smooth because of how the first few slugs went down, but it's fine. I don't Fang, Plume, and Melantha were also core.
Melantha is such a beefcake it's ludicrous.

They have 6 months of gameplay on us, which is a lot of time for spooks. Think about how many random old SSRs the two of you have NP2-3 of without pulling specifically for them.

Sneaky news drop; Maintenance at midnight game-time (2am EST).
Maintenance is to add Chapter 5, Part 2. So I hope everyone is ready to get crushed by Annihilation 3.

I did hit 65 tho which gave me a bunch of free exp thingies so now Ifrit is level 80 and ready to promote... but I still gotta farm the chips and more monies
What exactly is Exusiai and all the other angel-type Operators? They're markedly different from the human and animal hybrids just in physiology and guns are supposed to be incredibly expensive yet she's got several of them and they're semi-automatic no less.

This game is really in desperate need of some kind of codex TBH. There is so much background lore that is just sort of "there" and the game just expects you to roll with it without saying too much. Doesn't help that most of the bios are locked down behind 200% trust which is about the only place to find some of this info.
The power of Exu's S3 per specialty point doesn't seem crazy. I haven't even bothered yet.
I will say Sora + Exu demolished 5-10 though.
Exu's S3 mastery ranks are very large dps increases, I haven't really dug into how the damage is being calculated but it is very noticeable and worth the mats if already E2
Yeah, LMD and XP tend to be what limit me when I'm leveling. Chips and mats can be a slight roadblock because the day I get an operator to a point where I can promote them is the day that their chip map is closed or it's a matter of just running some maps to get the supplies I need. Where with LMD and XP, I'm constantly out of one or the other. I'm going to mix CE moving back to limited access, it was really nice to be able to pop in there and burn all my sanity earning money, once the base was done.
Innnnnteresting. I have most of these characters, or at least suitable subs. I wonder if this means I should build up Specter tho (it says you need an AOE Guard). And I assume Mousse can be replaced with like anything (I'm thinking Texas might work here). I'll have to check out the others to see his Gitano SilverAsh replacement (and I wonder if Gitano can be subbed cuz honestly I'd rather use Eyjafjalla or something if possible) Edit: Oh and I need an AOE Healer. I honestly haven't built one up yet Right now my only option is Perfumer which is kind of bleh.
Looking at some of these videos, I'll have to see what SilverAsh needs to be used in place of Gitano. Granted, doesn't look like Gitano is in a spot where her BS RNG talent could create too many problems, just have to make she can do the job if she decides she needs more HP. Though I think I rather go with SilverAsh because I've invested in that operator, where I've invested nothing in Gitano. Plus, the strategy, I could do with Lappland would require me to invest in some characters that have been on the back burner or are new acquisitions for the team (Lappland, Mousse, Savage, Meteor, FEater, Perfumer).
Given what a bottleneck LMD and xp are for me. Probably 2-3 weeks before I'm ready for A3. Still need to get through chapter 4.
@Warlock82 Perfumer is great, her talent providing constant regen map-wide can be an enabler. It also can heal operators who ‘can not be healed’.
Yeah, I should probably build her. I've been kind of relying on Silence who sorta also brings AOE spot healing with her drones. Though it's sounding like the next banner is gonna have Ptilopsis so I wonder if it's prudent to wait so I can build her instead (cuz that banner also has Exusiai which means I am going ham on it)
My healers are all e1 lv 40 cause I haven’t put more resources into them. I didn’t get Silence, so I still use the 3* medics, Perfumer, and Gavial. Only recently got Myrrh.
Question for those of you with many e2 operators:
Are you refreshing 10x per day to get the LMD and XP, or is there something I’m doing wrong?

Nightingale, SilverAsh, Sora, Blue Poison, Ptilopsis
You might be confusing Exusai with Blue Poison, who will be certificate buyable?
Edit: Oh, they're skipping a bunch of banners that had buyable 5*s I really wanted and were the only chances to buy them....

I am a little bit. But mainly I bought the $5 monthly pass thingy which gives an extra 60 sanity refill each day and the level up packs (especially the "pro" ones that cost yellow originium) are full of XP and LMD, so I've been grabbing those as they become available which helps a lot.
They're just creating new banners now. This banner lineup hasn't appeared at all in CN.
I was hoping for Blue Poison. :bigfrown:
RIP Banner Clairvoyance
Yeah, I'm of mixed opinions cuz I wanted Blue Poison but HOLY CRAP AN EXUSIAI BANNER YES PLEEEEAZZEEEE (I would also be ok lowering Siege's DP cost by one :P And I have been really wanting a Ptilopsis like I said). The 5* sniper person would also be new but I hear she isn't super great. Watch me get a million Nearls now after I was sad not getting her several banners ago (but then finally pulled her)

Bad news. She's not been available for certs ever on the CN server so far. She does get a solo rate-up later though.
Good news is that Blue Poison should be on the very next banner to cert pick up (and the only chance in CN so far to do so).
// Switch: SW-5306-0651-6424 //
So there's hope
Just lvl 75-80 on exu for e2 seem daunting
Top Operator tag, hear my plea!
(If you can't tell due to skins, the non-Exusiai sniper is Schwarz, and the non-SA guard is Blaze)
And here I was ashamed of my Potential 3 Ifrit
Saria is the only one with different enough skills that she really separates herself from them
Farmed more and just need 100k LMD for my first e2.

Started dumping levels into SilverAsh.
I found materials are easy compared to LMD or XP.
The power of Exu's S3 per specialty point doesn't seem crazy. I haven't even bothered yet.
I will say Sora + Exu demolished 5-10 though.

Given what a bottleneck LMD and xp are for me. Probably 2-3 weeks before I'm ready for A3. Still need to get through chapter 4.
So I'll probably put together a 'close enough' version of that run to get through to like 300+ or whatever and then get the full 400 later.
I only just got Annhi2 down, though admittedly that was mostly just not wanting to bother with a new proper run with literally only 5 kills to get.
