Didn't know a new Annihilation was on. I copied a strategy i saw on You Tube (Siege, Thorn,Saria, Blaze, and Meteorite) with some add healers. But the last drone leaked though. Goingb to try again with Lappland, Ejy, and S Ash.

I got 399 on my blind first attempt. The 1 who escaped was a bear who slipped through while a spear dude was blocking someone (which I could've used a cooldown for but I wasn't paying attention).

My 2nd attempt seems like a stable 400 so far though.

I have just realised I need to do the anni 5 simulation because damn it that has rewards too.

But I hate going into annihilation, they take so long and doing them blind is depressing... [lol]

I managed 395 blind. That's usually pretty damn good by my standards. It's just the really end that slipped me up.

Rosa just demolishes the entire map by herself. In general I feel like she's a really underrated 6*, both because she's incredibly versatile and can be deployed in otherwise useless positions, and also because when she's great she's really great.

Someone pointed out that the next annihilation after this new one would come along with Under Tides. The duration of this annihilation 55 days, which means Under Tides should drop around that.

[up] Which is why I think Under Tides will likely be sooner rather than later. Unless of course Yostar shuffles the annihilation maps as well. That particular annihilation map uses enemies and mechanics from Under Tides which would only make sense if we get the event first.

I thought the Siesta Annihilation map was next?

As I recall, there was actually a case where one event used enemy units from Darknights Memoirs and even had a playable version of W as a guest character on a map, except they shuffled the events around so we got it before Darknights. This even ended up unlocking W's node on the character web (although of course you couldn't recruit her).

In other words, do not underestimate their depravity.

[up] I can't recall Darknights enemies appearing sooner but the event you're thinking of that has W and Phantom was Wolumonde which had them playable in a fixed squad. That said, there were no Darknights enemies there iirc. Of course, nothing certain yet.

That said, datamine just revealed the next standard banner. Blaze in the shop! Highly recommend getting. Gonna be good for my alt who doesn't have her yet and I can finally be more brain dead there. Also of note, Suzuran being the other rate up 6 star means it is very unlikely we will get Wolumonde rerun (which may have been a possibility if Yostar were to reshuffle events). I do think this is a sign that we are following CN order than whatever Yostar did last year.

It was a different event then. I recall it being an event that had one easy mission from each of several different tilesets and enemy sets. Back when smaller events used to contain a few token missions you did once each.

That was easy. I managed to beat the latest Annihilation stage in one go using a certain frog loving Youtuber's guide which some changes like using Rosmontis, Thorns and W on the bottom stage. And then I goof up when I forgot to set W to use her 2nd skill instead of her 3rd skill, which could have filled the bottom lane with landmines. Thankfully, I still managed to beat it with no civilians killed and all enemies killed.

In other news, the next standard banner has Blaze and she's available to buy at the store! Now my newly stocked gold certificates after finishing them all to get Ash is put to good use!

The only one I can think of that got bumped was Children of Ursus, but I'm not sure if that had any Darknights mobs.

The lancers seem to be exclusive to it and they popped up in Beyond Here's final map though.

EDIT: if the banner leak is true then the ops are Suzuran, Blaze, Swirte, Sora and Cliffheart. I don't have enough certs for Blaze, but maybe I'll be lucky and roll her. I can still get Sora at least.

Sora's only 5*? Niiiiice.

As for moving up Under Tides: think about it, what's more likely; early availability of an Annihilation stage in comparison to its source, or getting everybody who was on the second anniversary banner before the second anniversary?

[up] the precedent (Wolumonde's W stage) implies the former.tongue

Anyway I decided to save the 10 pulls for the standard banner and do singles on an event banner for once (Helps that I already got Cutter from the start), one ticket in and I pulled...Shamare. Have i mentioned that I already have everyone from the banner except the owl lady that was there at launch?

At least Shamare's cute, weird skirt aside and I am putting her to use in my buff army.

Also made it through the event stages but I think I'm gonna save the EX maps for the weekend and hope they are eaiser than OD (Good thing there are no medals for this event too)

Not only was it another all 10 rolls until 5* for me, the 5* was also someone I already have (Zima). Bought her costume, like her new battle animations.

Finished main story in one go for once, I guess that's what you get for playing an older event [lol] It's weird that the welfare has aproximately zero to do with the story. Nice to be able to farm Loxic Kohl, even nicer that I can use both operators with trust bonus I have in this stage (well, I also have Weedy, but she is at 200 trust already).

It always feels like you have enough kohl until you need it for something, and then you realize you don't.
