Arknights

And I've reached lvl 120...

Ling finally E2 with her module, that was painfully expensive to do :V

She's strong, but her summons are still pretty expensive DP-wise.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!

Got to fight with the second boss of IS 4 at last.

This is just "The Shaman" on steroids, isn't it?

Also, lost due to getting a Zerg Rush when frozen solid.

Fanart seems to have taken Eureka's Needy Streamer OVERLOAD shoutout a step further and created wholecloth NSFW fanart of her doing sexy streams for the revenue and clicks.

His attack is actually pretty low even on higher difficulties so the most common route to beating him is stalling him with someone sufficiently tanky supported by a Medic while everyone else kills the other 74 enemies, then taking him down at various chokepoints with all damage dealers focused on him. He's immune to Slow/Stun, but not Levitate or skills that specify "Movement Speed Lowered" (think Saria's S3 field), so those can also be used to stall him. Levitate is notable because it cancels out his block immunity rush phase.

So basically, the Sami-Caster in the red cert-shop is a good option against this "Shaman 2.0" then?

"If there's problems, there's simple solutions."

Yep, if you can get the timing down, you don’t have to worry about him speeding away

It might be a good idea to have 2 tanky blockers for this fight then, so you can catch the boss after they activate their skill quickly.

Ace@ Feels like NSFW streamer art would of happened regardless if they over playthe needed part.

Okay. going at the second boss again.

Prepared.

I just hope that the lizard in the beginning won't trip me.

I failed on his last skill-burst.

"If there's problems, there's simple solutions."

I killed that 2nd boss jackass right before he reached my blue box. It's kinda frustrating how gimmicky the extra final bosses in IS 4 are (and the seemingly rather specific set ups needed to win against them), IMHO.

My personal meme about Big Bob is that Mudrock hired Penance and Proviso specifically to help her defend Big Bob's case in court over the tax bullying.

EN VOICE PREVIEW: We be getting Scottish Bagpipe~ Fiona's VA knocked it out the park.

Fancomic: Octodeco strikes with 'The one where Ines discovers who Hoederer has as his oshi'.

Bonus: Ines wearing a replica of Eureka's streaming clothes :V

Hoederer took 90 pulls and brought Dorothy with him.

48 for me. Also got a larger than usual amount of 5*s.

BTW, wasn't Reed supposed to get a DND costume as well?

120 pulls to get Hoederer.

Got a Mizuki, a Blesmishine, La Pluma, Kafka, Santalla, and a lot snake-boys before that happened alongside the new medic.

"If there's problems, there's simple solutions."

150 pulls for me. I had to pity the jackass.

So any upcoming ops that already need the new mats for E2?

Spent 12 pulls, no Hoederer. Expecting him to spook me later lol, gotta save for the next few limited banners since I want Viviana, Arturia, Shu, and Degenbrecher.

x5 Reed will get the witch costume (don't think it's actually Dn D themed) later with the Ray's event

Virtuosa and Caper both need the one from 13-15, from the top of my head.

Skipping out on the only good Crusher Guard in the game. Not exactly a banner I want to roll since there's still a bunch of limited banners to come soon — banners where I can possibly get Texas Alter, W, and Rosmontis on... as well as the rest of the Sui sisters save for Shu, who I'm not particular to (because of her A-Cup Angst, perhaps?), and Ling, whom I already have.

"Some people are damaged. Some people are really damaged. And then... some people are broken."

Yeah, that outfit set is museum themed, Reed's museum exhibit is just also fairy tale themed.

Only got Spuria as my guaranteed from the new banner, but gonna only splurge for Zwillingsturme so that's it for me

Roughly 70 for Hoederer. Netted a Jessica dupe in the process as well.

Burning love!

Also, the fact a certain someone who's both into Pokémon and Arknights that is NOT a Troper here that I had the misfortune of meeting did not know who Hoederer was AT ALL made me even more sour on Crusher Guards and him in general. If that person had no idea who he was, that made me even more hesitant to touch his banner.

Crusher Guards would suck as Pokémon. Rampardos sends its regards to them.
