    It is very, very hard for me to work up the brain power/ effort to complete the EX levels during the work week, so it's pretty important to my schedule to hit 'em hard on that first weekend. CC is usually even rougher, I just see the Permanent stage as this giant mountain that I don't want to touch for most of the run, then I end up having to rush all the sub-objective clears in it towards the end.

    I planned on clearing out all the ex stages this weekend for the same reason

    But instead I got really mad at football and then gave into the "I want to play a moba" bug like a complete dumbass

    If just a single day could go by without losing another Av to injury, that would be great.

    Off the top of my head…..Landeskog, Helm, Nichushkin, Byram, Girard, Meyers, Bowers, MacDermid and Raanta are all out. Guys aren’t even lasting a full game after getting called up.

    I give this event credit for making me play pretty creatively. I dusted off Mostima, Schwarz, W, and used Horn for the first time to clear various weird level designs.

    Ifrit was an all-star for me here. A number of stages are set up well for her attack range, and the fact that she can debuff both def and res depending on skill is super useful.

    Do you have Lappland? That will solve a lot of problems in this event. Or Jaye at E1 max.

    Also, you giving up on regular stages or EX stages?

    even without the 4* cadre i can use the guides to just stick my normal operators into the slots required, more or less

    if you're throwing 6*s at a problem being solved by 3s and 4s in a guide, the extreme increase in power usually fixes most issues of missing a perfect fit

    Yeah I'm throwing 6s at it. I just suck at not knowing roles and who subs for what. And/or the cost of my 6s keeps me from getting deployed fast enough.

    if dp is your problem you can usually just throw more vanguards at the problem, or flagpipe if you have it. usually the low * guides require multiple ranged damage dealers to do the work of one good one though so can just trim the edges off the guide

    Regarding costs, do you have Flag Vanguards in play (Myrtle, Elysium, Saileach)? And what roles are you trying to cover, we can probably give you tips there. If you have time to try again, this stuff is probably fixable.

    70 E1 Projekt Red
    64 E1 Zima
    62 E1 Liskarm
    60 E1 Myrrh
    60 E1 Gitano
    60 E1 Ethan

    Unleveled or barely leveled 6s:
    Ch'en (OG not the ranged)
    Skadi
    Mudrock
    Mizuki
    Irene
    Lumen
    Passenger

    Unleveled or barely leveled 5s:
    Cliffheart
    Flamebringer
    Platinum
    Whisperain
    Istina
    Nine-Colored Deer
    Pramanix
    Leizi
    FEater
    Manticore
    Blue Poison
    Savage
    Asesia
    Bibeak
    Broca
    La Pluma
    Aosta
    Firewatch
    Kroos keen glint

    I probably have most every 3 and 4. The 3s are sometimes leveled. The 4s mostly not.
    And I have a Vulcan and Indra voucher I haven't used.

    I've passed but not 3 starred a number of missions, highest mission I 3 starred was SN-3
    I have been unable to beat SN-7

    For the event, Lappland E2 is amazingly useful since her silence shuts down the evasion on some enemies. (Any status effect will do, but Lappland's silence has 100% uptime at E2 and she has AoE and arts damage on S2 which are both useful for the event too). Bagpipe and Mudrock are the 6*s I'd E2 first from that list I think. You've definitely got the pieces to clear the event though with that kind of firepower already at E2.

    Hell, Hoshiguma with her S2 equipped can literally deal with one of the most annoying enemies/mechanics in this event, the Spewers, since they'll kill themselves by attacking her.

    You've definitely got the all the correct pieces to clear this whole event, you're not lacking in firepower for sure. My advice is find multiple different video guides, from different people. There's many strategies and some honestly won't gel as well for you as others (I know that personally speaking when I was starting out, there'd be some where I'd prefer KyoStin's strat over Eckogen's, or vice versa, or someone else entirely)

    But you can definitely clear all the stages with what you have

    I can't shower without having pretty loud music going because the white noise of the water is like, perfect for filtering out most of my thoughts and leaving only the troublesome ones audible.

    I don't have her. I don't have the certs either. I might be able to get them by blowing all my stuff in the banner.

    I like taking a shower when there's a good showerhead and temperature. The ability to take a bath if I like is a big plus.

    I don't have any of those things in my apartment. I still shower, I just don't like doing it.

    I hate the knowledge of being wet. I love swimming! I enjoy a bath or a hot tub. Splashing in puddles, getting caught in the rain, these are transient joys. But feeling wet, the liminal state of water distinctly on my skin, is a sensory nightmare I've learned to tolerate, the transition between uncomfortable.

    Recognizing those sensitivities as such is part of what clued me into being ~neurodivergent~
