wow thanks for this. i did not know Ethan is cool i have him at E1 only with E1 Mostima, Ifrit, Skyfire, Istina and Amiya. also thanks to Red for the clutch stuns
i like this stage a lot. it's perfect for my weird caster bloated roster. ifrit shreds res, eyja shreds res, skyfire stuns, mostima stuns, angela heals & all their passives work together. skyfire's passive is inactive on this stage but she does a lot regardless.
This whole thing relises on you have a E2 Ethan to hold them all in place. RIP most people as they wont have that, not exactly a F2P/Low Stars/friendly guide with him there!
@@ChargeBlade I think that's the case for most people, since I don't think he's a particularly popular operator, so most people don't bother raising him? I may be wrong, but I never hear anyone talking about him lol
I dont have him and beaten it with just all my Casters and 2 slowers. Also added Shirayuki which everyone should have. The only units you could say i have used that not everyone might have is Skyfire and Bluepoison but another multihitter for Bluepoison would do the job aswell. I didnt even had a tank i realised when i started the run but i ended up not needing one. Also lets be real Ethan is a freaking 4 star you can easily buy in the shop and his E 2 requirements are a joke. Also you can be pretty sure it cant be a bad idea to have him. An Opp with a huge aoe bind, how can that ever be a bad thing now and in the future?
my ethan is only E1 level 1 (skill level 7) and he did the job just fine... E2 only adds 1 second to his bind and it's not like he's there to do damage, so his level and stats dont matter, cuz he's there to provide crowd-control
@@calgarus6606 While it's very much true that his E2 requirements are nothing compared to a 6 star operator, raising him from level 1 E0 to E2 in 3 days or so when you have no battle records stockpiled and need to farm a lot of his mats as well as a fully F2P player is still a major struggle. I'm trying my hardest to raise him, but at this point I'm not sure I'll be able to make it. Worst case scenario I'll try to use all my casters + E1 Skyfire and Bluepoison, like you mentioned. I'm pretty sure Orchid is the only slower I have raised at the moment, though.
Wow, you gotta nail the Melantha deployment timing exactly, otherwise she ends up getting hit by the red hat dude instead and dies instantly, letting the sniper kill everyone. Ethan sure makes a huge difference though, I'm glad I managed to raise him to E2 for this. Now I only have to somehow raise Cuora to E2 for EX-7 CM in less than two days...
Unfortunately, he's core to this as he's able to bind enemies for 2 seconds (3 at E2). The Bulldozers deal a lot of damage, so blocking isn't recommended.
random place to ask. I'd recommend going to Arknights reddit page where you can ask all questions. I'd recommend Fang, Kroos and Melantha as units to focus on. Also You'll get 12 doctor exp per sanity spent so just doing any stage will level you up at the same pace.
WAIT A F**KING SEC! it Says enemy MEELE units Atk Increased, (So not The Shooter Units Atk still same) Still..... Can i Use the Same Strat as the original??!
When I tried it by myself I placed 3 E2 lvl 20 casters AND fkin Astesia as well and the fkin bulldozer still went past.... It took down Saria in like 3 hits even with healing
Well, thanks for trying, but the Elite 2 Ehtan kinda defeats the purpose of "Low Stars" guide, since he is pretty new and isn't used much. Couldn't beat it after I have pretty much everything else working same as on guide, except that I have lower leveled, E1 Ethan.
E2 is to increase his binding time from 2 seconds to 3. It's possible to do it with Cuora if you drop her early so you can activate her skill before the Bulldozer 2 hits her. Low Stars just mean low rarity 4 stars or under. Not necessarily low level.
@@Eckogen You're both fantastic strategists. And I like you both because I get to see how different team configs work when I don't have a key operator built.
She doesn’t work the same as ethan. She would need to rely on her second skill while ethan only needs to rely on his talent which is active through the whole battle. You can definitely give manticore a try though, but you would need to time it.
If you have stronger casters, you might not need ethan, but idk. I used glaucus' stun and proc every skills when its crowded. There're 2 cycle of stun+skill, leaving one bully at low hp. Then I just stall him for a bit with some defenders
If you've built a Greyy, you can replace Lava with him and you might be able to get away with using Manticore. If you have an Istina, bring her too as her Skill 2 can target up to three enemies. Make sure to use friend support and make use of Eyja or Ifrit if your friends have them available. With high-end casters, you won't really need to block anything. Another suggestion is Skyfire, whose Skill 2 can stun enemies but unless you have her E2'd and her skill at M3, the stun duration is not very long. You can try using multiple Supporters that slow enemies if you managed to gain enough DP to replace Durin.
Obviously, Manticore. Also, this very much depends on which other operators you have. Angelina wipes the floor with mobs, I suppose Eyja would be even more useful. Truesilver Slash also shines here.
He's really cheap to get with shop vouchers. Raising him to E2 if you're fully F2P like me, however, is another story entirely... Using all my sanity potions to raise him is a painful prospect.
How many art casters would you like?
Me: *Yes.*
I'll be the first to react, LOL
I'll be the second to react, LOL
I'm from the present LOL
Meanwhile, me: SEND ALL THE SLOW SUPPORTERS
"And sacrifice Beagle as needed."
With pleasure.
i see that someone has had enough of BIGURUU TE IMASU KA
:c
>Beagle Dreadnaught skin: "Go on without me! I will protect the Dokta!"
>And so it was, that Beagle was reported KIA ever since.
@@COZYTW doc, that's canon
No wonder I've been having so many issues with this challenge mode. Enemy pathing is completely broken on this mission.
I'm back for blood. Let's get this bread.
So cool... You even didn't bring any medic. Thank you for the guide!
wow thanks for this. i did not know Ethan is cool i have him at E1 only with E1 Mostima, Ifrit, Skyfire, Istina and Amiya.
also thanks to Red for the clutch stuns
As I said under your other guide: I'm done! After E2'ing my Angelina, I will max out all my 2* and 3* !
In the immortal words of Cesith:
ETHAN BIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used Magallan S2 (changed for Durin & Steward), Manticore (No Orchid), Ethan and a friend's Angelina or Eiya works wonders.
Been Stuck here and waiting for this!
Great guide ! Thank you 💛
That's awesome .. you saved me thank you very much
thank for the guide. the best
Thxs for using Ethan. He is a very helpful operator
Thanks,This Guide Is Very Needed
Nice clear, its as if that spot is really meant for orchid

Yea, its pretty much arts damage+slow/stun support.
Pretty cool big brain time, awesome mate 👍
Thx for guide!
Nice Amiya
This whole thing relises on you have a E2 Ethan to hold them all in place. RIP most people as they wont have that, not exactly a F2P/Low Stars/friendly guide with him there!
Ethan's not hard to get though? The thing here is not all people have Ethan E2'd, which is the case for me.

The sniper is slightly ahead of the Brawler if you watch carefully in the video. Shouldn't be any issues if you do the timing near that.
Great job!
If you feel it's too tight and can, S3 Eyja where Amiya is, pop her when prompted and watch the fireworks show.
Here I am using all my 6 stars and STILL can't complete it. Thanks for the guide man!
Thanks eckogen
The timing on blocking those snipers is critical
Calling all casters!
Slow supporter: 'pulls down hoodie and slips in'.
my s1 m3 feater love this stage so much xD
This stage is annoying 😂
The 3rd or 4th enemy sniper was walking with another guy so you have to time it perfectly to catch the sniper specifically.
I'll grade this video a "Nice!" for Amiya's level.
who here for the return of the event?
i missed like 2 snipers, almost everyone died. and i still beat it because GG and Texalter
It’s big brain time
*when you dont have an E2 ethan*
Me: *cracking my brain to think how to replace*
Unfortunately, he's core to this as he's able to bind enemies for 2 seconds (3 at E2). The Bulldozers deal a lot of damage, so blocking isn't recommended.
@@Eckogen luckily one of my friend had a E2 ethan as a support unit and my life was saved XD
That's.... kinda hard and scary without Medics.
My CB-EX2 is called "Misdirection" and plays out slightly differently, so I can't use this strategy. :(
“Sacrifice Beagle as needed.” :’(
:[
Where can i farm good lot and how can i gain levels fast? Im currently lvl 6. What operator is the best to upgrade 1st?
random place to ask. I'd recommend going to Arknights reddit page where you can ask all questions. I'd recommend Fang, Kroos and Melantha as units to focus on. Also You'll get 12 doctor exp per sanity spent so just doing any stage will level you up at the same pace.
If you have Ifrit put her anywhere on this map and win.
so instead of low stars all stars, "Eckogens 4 star and friends"
Amiya and Ethan are free units. Haze is fairly easy to get from recruitment.
WAIT A F**KING SEC! it Says enemy MEELE units Atk Increased, (So not The Shooter Units Atk still same) Still..... Can i Use the Same Strat as the original??!
When I tried it by myself I placed 3 E2 lvl 20 casters AND fkin Astesia as well and the fkin bulldozer still went past.... It took down Saria in like 3 hits even with healing
Ethan is the real MVP for this stage and I wouldn't actually try blocking unless you have Cuora + her skill.
How does 7 (higher tier) of my operators die? Will try running with a healer. X_x
nope, didnt work
ethan is the core ........ in this stage
Yes.
i'll try replacing Ethan in there with my E2 Manticore, hope it works :p
I have a question what if you don't sacrifice /block with beagle?
Bulldozer will manage to run out of your casters range and the run will fail?
If you're casters can kill it before then you don't need a defender. Beagle is a safe net.
is there any alternatives for ethan?
Not for this method. Ethan is core.
Well, thanks for trying, but the Elite 2 Ehtan kinda defeats the purpose of "Low Stars" guide, since he is pretty new and isn't used much.
Couldn't beat it after I have pretty much everything else working same as on guide, except that I have lower leveled, E1 Ethan.

thank you temporary kyo
I always been here doing low rarity clears too. :(
Kyo's been relying on support units a lot. I go to Eckogen for a true low rarity experience
@@Eckogen And now your time to rise to the top has come.
@@Eckogen You're both fantastic strategists. And I like you both because I get to see how different team configs work when I don't have a key operator built.
I dont leveling Ethan , should I replace with Manticore E1 ?

I legit farmed 8 operators to elite 1 max level in the span of 3 days. The things i do just to get those originium. 😑
my plume died right after deployment. is it ok???
That's fine, provided she killed the sniper. The DP loss might effect you though.
@@Eckogen well, tbh she didit kill anyone. she just disappeared after deployment
is ethan better than manticore?
Yeah, longer binding times.
So has anyone tried this with E1 Ethan? I wasn't going to build him but now I'm considering.
I'm wondering the same, I have about 15 sanity potions saved up and I'd rather use them for other stuff, but if it comes down to it, I'll raise Ethan.
TorterraX1 tried but there are some case that only 1 is rooted out of 7+ enemies
I just did it with a E1 60 Ethan, skill level 4.
What no medic???
Try this dame stage 10 time and always fail
Don't need a medic if no one gets hit. Need the spots for more casters.
any recommendations for a replacement for Ethan. Quickly, please!
Ethan is core to this. You can buy him from the voucher store for 150 red tickets.
@@Eckogen Fuck. I already spent all of my resources on Gitano, you'll know why if you've seen my comment on your CB-EX8 video.
Obviously, Manticore.
Also, this very much depends on which other operators you have. Angelina wipes the floor with mobs, I suppose Eyja would be even more useful. Truesilver Slash also shines here.
This doesn't help at all since i don't have gecko :(

Gonna E2 Ethan soon😂😂😂
I dont even have mats to E1 Ethan so Imma just *ugly sobs*
I change him to shaw s2. Works fine but you must know her timing
if you have Manti E1 she does the trick with good casters
Also Mosti and Ifrit are godlike on this stage, if you have them
