    here was my solution to this boss

    I used the same approach for EX-8 so it's basically the same other than the boss doing a lame surprise spawn

    I thought this thing was quizzing me on which operator I had on the home page the longest, but it just seems to know a couple of them and wants me to pick? I picked Siege cuz she was on there for ages but if I'd have known it would just do a bunch of Siege stats I would have switched to Shwartz who is there now :P

    I couldn't decide which categories to pick. I wish I could just show all of them on my picture :3 (also I'm pretty sure I missed out on a bunch of content in this thing because I'm like two or three chapters behind in the story.. lolz... one of these days I'll catch up... also work on the module thingies, of which it seems they added something else but I don't quite understand that mode too much)

    Does anyone have any experience with Priority Bikes?

    Thinking about it pretty hard.

    I bought the kids 16" bike for my 4 yr old. It came well packed with easy instructions for assembly (and also came with wrenches and allen wrenches). The front brake needed a bit of adjustment to keep from rubbing but everything else was perfect straight from the factory. The belt drive is really cool and silent and seems perfect for kids since there isn't a chain to jump, rust to deal with from negligent care or any grease to get all over clothes. She hasn't ridden it yet because the default seat post is a little too tall for her; they sell a shorter one which my dad bought for one of her Christmas gifts though we haven't seen them since Thanksgiving and won't see them until this upcoming weekend.

    My general takeaway is good to excellent build quality with moderate quality components, and what looks to be minimal maintenance.

    Ha, now this I don't have the patience for. I do try to raise trust when I can but I'm not gonna go out of my way for operators I don't even use :3

    I don't think they had one but I'd love to see number of operators at e2, e1 and not promoted :P I try to at least promote everyone to e1 (for extra base skill) and I like to get as many e2s as I can (I think I've promoted every 6* at least to e2 and I try to get the 5*s when I can)

    Speaking of powering stuff up, I really gotta set aside some time to farm out modules. I seriously never touch this stuff except like one time I farmed out a couple for operators I use a ton (Nightengale, Ptilopsis). But I should suck it up and do more. There are guides online for all this shit after all.

    I'm also completionist with Paradox Simulations. Only 3 left to do from the current batch, I've been holding back in anticipation of getting a bunch of new Ops I care about promoting more from the 3rd anniversary event.

    In terms of promotions in general, aside from every Operator with a Paradox Sim, I think I have almost all of my 6 stars done (notably Dusk hasn't been raised yet) and most of my 5 stars (many of the welfare ops have not earned a promotion in my eyes, not until their Paradox Sim, at least).

    Modules I do the "complete these tasks" steps for everyone during the slow times between events. I did like 10 different Operators waiting for a flight one time last year. Raising them to the required level and actually paying for the mods themselves is situational. I won't pay for an Operator's mod unless I like them or could see using them (say, in the Castle).

    Also Belt driven would be good for the salt and sand.

    Incorrect! Belt drives are a pain in the ass because rubber stretches more than chain and they get fiddly. Unlike a chain, if you break it there's no easy fix other than a new belt. You also miss out on compatibility with literally every other bike out there and can likely only go specific places for repair. They're also internal hub gears only, which will also limit upgrades and maintenance while potentially increasing cost.

    I also know of people that had issues with dirt getting into the belt system and causing weird slippage and wear as you don't have the oiling of chains to clear the dirt.

    This youtuber did a lot of multi thousand mile trips on a priority bike with the belt driven system. https://www.youtube.com/@duzer

    I've watched him a ton. He might be sponsored by the bike company though. (he has videos all about the bikes)

    He would usually bring an extra belt in case he needed to replace his current one. I do remember one episode where it snapped.

    I don't really have an opinion on what's better, but I don't think I would spend a lot extra just to have the belt driven bike.

    Got a belt driven bike now for 3 years and the belt drive is great so far. No slippage, nothing beside the most basic maintenance. It works great all year through, through wind and rain and mud and ice. Way more reliable than any chain drive I ever had. Compatibility and ease of finding a place that repairs them might've been a problem a decade ago in my experience? Every regular bike shop here has them and does repairs on them.

    bought an electric step (close enough right?) for my daughter me. ofc i had to try it out.

    Dang these things walk a fine line between amazingly fun and sketchy as fuck. She's wearing a helmet for at least a month.

    Also i tried it at 25km/h and it was already pretty fast. Turns out you can make em go 40-45. I think they don't need to go that fast?

    Uhh, just personally, on a thing that goes 25km/h and faster, with teeny tiny wheels on top of it? I'd always wear a helmet.

    They're neat 0 sanity cost levels that act as both little puzzles to solve and kind of a tutorial for things you may not know about the various Operators, then they pay out 200 currency when you win. You should definitely try more of them.

    It's also nice that the defeated forms (vases/mirrors/etc) don't count as Actual Enemies and you can actually leak a few without it counting against the 400

    The Sharpedges were the most annoying part of it for me (perfect run up until those fuckers wiped everyone out) but I fixed the problem with Gnosis and Irene. Also had SpecAlter in the bottom right lane solo-holding it, and Weedy and Gladiia set up to push/pull some of the more annoying assholes. Shifting does work on Sharpedges!! And then of course the power duo of Passenger/Ethan S1 to clean up the vases/mirrors/etc.

    Just about threw my phone out the window.
    Finally got to the new 4th ending of IS2 with a super stacked team. Load into the last stage and my phone drops connection so it throws me back to the main menu.

    Unlike every other phone game in existence that just resets the stage and you do it again, Arknights counts this as a loss and the run is over and go fuck yourself I guess. Very frustrating.

    Same-ish; got both in 73 pulls. No off-banners, just two 6*'s across those pulls and it was one of each.
    Good thing too because the next set of banners are all pretty stacked until the next limited banner.

    I cleared out all the event stages today so I can get that juicy farming in (I'm low on ALL THREE of the farmable mats!!!) and I decided to PROVE REDDIT WRONG on the final stage by using Ebenholz because Reddit told me Ebenholz was a bad operator

    Hey look it’s me!

    169(nice) pulls got me Pot 2 Pozey, random Angelina, random Sutr, and Summer Chen out of nowhere.

    Literally just wanted Gaivel but nope I’ve been cursed with sniperknights so I literally HAVE to build S. Chen and Pozy since I got them.

    I’m a Summer Chen guy now.

    Add me to your friends list everyone it’s the Summer Chen guy.
