Arknights

I'm getting the Franka skin lol, poor girl's a Year One operator and she got SNUBBED out of getting a Raythean skin alongside Liskarm.

Doing another run, reached the boss again at the consecutive attempt.

I just realized that after 24 enemies, nobody else get spawned unless the boss loses a certain amount of HP... meaning that I can hoard DP and deploy everyone in one go once the re-deploy timer is done despite there being nobody on the field.

Update: okay, got too overconfident and like in "Darkest Dungeon", lost.

But now it feels much less stressful than before.

...

Update: Incredibly grateful that "Best Girl" Jessica came quickly.

One ticket and two big rolls to get her.

Onto the event!

Am I the only Arknights fan/player here that think that Liskarm and Franka's relationship dynamic is a Lightning/Fire Juxtaposition one?

40 10-rolls for Jessica. In which one of them was 4* Jessica.

yes.

Like tell me how does Franka fit the fire half?

EDIT: Banner cleared, still no wind chimes spook.

Able to get Jessica in three ten rolls. But I hate that I got a 6 star at the first but it was a dupe.

Also, why does she have to be precious when she ask for a hug after getting fully promoted?

gee Typhon what are you doing here in the Blacksteel group you're supposed to be in Sami

I'll take the token though

Franka's talent is called Thermite Blade — Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of metals with metal oxides that creates short bursts of heat. Her sword allegedly can heat up to 2500 degrees Celsius... but considering her talent and the adiabatic burn temperature of iron thermite, the most common thermite used on Earth, is 2862 degrees Celsius, not that far off from the 2500 degrees Celsius her sword emits... yeah, she has that fire and heat thing sorta going for her with a sword built with thermite able to get that hot. That's a bit over twice the body temperature of Magmar.

Didn't get Jessica in the first 10 rolls, but I did get pot tokens for Weedy and Maria Nearl :V

I'm still saving for the limited banners, so I guess she'll have to spook me.

Also I swear Jessica just pulled an Abydos-style bank robbery lmao. Shiroko would be proud.

Okay decided to E2 Almond, Jessica the Junk Queen, Santelia and Kjera. I also want to E2 Snowsant, but will have to wait a bit because I have an Oriron shortage RN.

FTR I did the Casters for Freezeknights (everyone else that can freeze them were already E2, especially since Pramamix needs a module to do so and Gnosis is a 6*)

The boss of this event has a bunch of immunities, but you can easily do a ton of damage by forcing him to slow down inside the vent zone.

The Blacksteel event was extremely good, very worth the wait. Coldshot is even more fun than I thought and Jessica's arc really tied things together in a way I didn't expect. Wonder what Vanilla's doing during all this though.

and I ended up just throwing Surtr and Typhon at the boss

Maybe I'm misremembering things but was Jessica always not infected or it was retconed? I seem to remember she was infected and was sent to Rhodes Island by her father to treat her infection.

In related Jessica news, I got Jessica Alter in just 10 pulls!

Wasn't she at Rhodes Island just as a part of a team sent by BlackSteel due to some partnership between the two or something?

Blacksteel Worldwide is a PMC so most likely RI just hired them for additional support. But again, my memory is shotty at best with the early chapters.

Jessica is not Infected, she came along with Franka who is Infected and needed the partnership program to secure medical support. Jessica, Vanilla, and Liskarm tagged along out of concern for their colleague. Rhodes then employed them for both Chernobog and Victoria as external support. This event actually finally explained some details on what happened to them in the second storyline, Jessica has PTSD from Kazdel attacking civilians as the situation escalated and her failure to save them.

La Pluma's Oprec JOSSES the idea that she has become estranged from Tequila, poor boy is just incredibly guilty about letting her get mixed up in the Bolivarian civil war and wants her to live a life free of that particular strife.

Jessica, it's alright to cry, I was crying with you! T^T

I'm not rolling for her specifically, but it will be nice if she decides to come from my birthday roll in a couple of days. I really liked her in this event.

Got around to doing the latest SSS stages. The tense church dubstep song Martyr playing while fighting a friggin' ice cream truck (or rather, desperately trying to take it down on a time limit of sorts since you can only block it so often) felt so wrong yet so right.

New skin for Plume, she's getting her own gym clothes for a Contingency Contract just like Broca :V

Don't forget Blue Poison got hers before Broca

Blacksteel collectively get Beautiful and Lovely as their squad theme song.

Add: Lol, the lyrics are totally Franka serenading Liskarm, and the EP video has Liskarm looking all bashful

I just realized I had enough certs from the 10-roll on Jessica 2's banner to get Archetto, so I now have her yay

Edit: WHOOPS wrong thread.

Got Jessica (and bonus Aosta) from my birthday multi! Her intro line is so calm, it caught me off-guard.
