3 vanguard if u use auto skill (S1). on my run i use Siege S1, Flametail S1 and Courier S1M3. tried with only 2 vanguard (Siege S1 and Courier S1M3) but they cant keep up with Jaye DP consumption.
@@prd6617 you're very brave. I used Lappland, borrowed a Thorns, a Gladiia. And moves the whole gang to the left. There are a few iterations. But this one basically uses Thorns and Lappland to kill. Gladiia to tank and pull to relief pressure from the top Lane. Another iteration uses Lappland, Thorns, defender and Eyja. Lappland makes this stage a lot easier. I'm rather happy I S2M3 her.
I do bring Jaye S1 for the upper lane. But, I use him as fast redeploy instead of lane holder and let Courier kill a lot of the generic enemies going there, only dropping him when either it's too crowded or Predators and Founders come. Gives less strain to the DP (the vanguards I brought are only Courier and Myrtle, both at S1M3). PS: I do use Lappland for the main lane because I raised her, though if my Bibeak is at E2 with S2M3, I would've used her over Lappland to add a bit more challenge.
I was surprised how easy this annihilation as especially compared to the last one. I'd also recommend April (Mod 3 if possible) since she is very strong in the second half at taking out the long range spitters and the aoe arts flowers to help take some of the burden off of your healers. Also you can bully the orginium tile.
I discovered that a Chain Caster can easily replace both Steward and Click, giving you one more extra squad slot, since they always end up attacking all the enemies there in the top left corner (and, iirc, the Slow they inflict also removes the dodge%). And if you've got a decent chain caster, you don't need the second caster because then they can still take out the second top one from outside the range fo those AoE Jellyfish enemies
So I took Thorns in place of Midnight. Normally, that'd be extremely dangerous. BUT... I only activated his skill once and then saved the 2nd activation to the end because I knew that if things went to hell, it'd be in the last 20 or so enemies. And it worked really well.
@@ashfall935 yes but apparently this guy didn't perform the second activation until the end of the annihilation, which is something that has me extremely confused..
@@xeviivry3798 i would assume its due to thorns having quite far range when his skill is active, and it would kill the founders before lappland can silence them causing the nethersea brand to spread.
@@Zomzom___nah, i also replaced midnight with thorns, mine is max level with max trust and m3 and even then lappland still got plenty of time to silence the enemies. It actually helped because he killed the weak enemies quickly so lapp could focus on silence the dangerous ones
I've just come back to Arknights after leaving before W was released, glad to see a lot of my best operators are very much viable, thanks as always Kyo
Not sure if this was stated but Lappland needs to be E2 for these stages. Her stun is pathetically short at E1 and you will miss a ton of enemies for silence because of RNG.
Thanks! Your comment saved me weeks ago when I first tried this, I'm pretty new and didn't know how to read the icons just from looking at squad page, or how important improved talent and skill levels are. I had no idea why it wasn't working lol. It also needs to be skill 2 and probably max level or she won't silence the enemies fast enough.
Mlynar is excellent in here too at the bottom lane. He will keep the corruption from spreading and have the ranged units kill themselves from hitting him.
Stultifera made me max out and lvl up so many Ops I never intended to, omg. Lappland shot up out of the washed up graveyard to being E2L69, Jesus. Made me max my Eyja and Ifrit, and E2 my Silence and Warfarin. Fking hell event. Those Dodgy beak bois single handedly babkrupted me.
10:48 we the players are very creative. E2 Lappland is not necessary, I cleared it with a E1 Lv 70 Lappland. Although I used 2 stronger medic Lumen and Honeyberry, I didn't need a 3rd medic thus I had more flexibility.
put wisadel beside your elemental medic, she will take care of the defender/aoe guard lane. you don't need to worry about overkill and mud as lap will silence those during her skill and worse case scenario you can use the device, mud was created only 1 time for me for which i used the device.
Used Thorns instead of Midnight and adjusted his position (a tile back behind Midnight). Wanqing behind Thorns so I had to use Phantom while waiting to deploy Shu (Gummy) to prevent leaks. Leonhardt was pretty good in place of Pinecone, love that I can trigger his skill whenever I want and enemies in front of him get wiped by one skill (thanks to Thorns as well). My Lappland is only M0 so the extra dmg from Leonhardt and Thorns were really helpful (jk I just wanted to use them for their voice actors XD).
Me: "I have these low rarity ops, but I'm terrified something might go wrong. Except my higher rarity ops might kill things before my Lappland can silence them. I don't know how to-" Thorns: "I have a skill one, moron." Blaze: "I also have a skill one, idiot." GoldenGlow: "Skill one. I've had it the whole time." Chen Alter: "Did you seriously forget about my skill one?" Me: "...oh. Yeah, that'll work."
surprised i got this one on first try without looking at the map first. I was waiting the entire time for the reefbreakers (stacking damage enemies) to appear and destroy me like they did back at stultifera. Even more surprised they didn't use them for this anni. Forgot to bring my lappland, but my lineholders manage to keep half the map safe from the nethersea brand and Gnosis once again saved everyone from the dodgy fuckers.
I came to see how Kyo did it. I built my defence line right where the orange stair case exits lol. Felt it reduced the time waiting for the enemy to come to me and I also bombarded with Horn 😊
Same, made healing easier too. I also put Lappland two tiles above the orange stairs and she did great silencing everything except those last ones who go up top, but there’s enough devices to take care of the sea brand.
Replaced Midnight with Mlynar. Missed 2 birds at the beginning of the stage because of that. Was too lazy to restart. Finished with 398, now I am too lazy to do everything again
If u struggle with the dodge seaborn, a few control effect can disable it (not only silence), like stun and freeze. I use enforcer 1st skill, combined with Chen 1st skill and Gnosis 1st. That shitfull seaborn even cant live more than 2 second.
I had all the lower locations in some strange thing that deals damage, I have nowhere to place units, 4 things do not help, they clean for a second, and then they fill up again with it. What to do then
Dunno if there were updates or if there are factors in your squad I’m not seeing but this strategy falls apart for me before I even hit 60. What AOE operator are you using btw?
You can but put thorn 1 tile more to the left in this case its myrtle' tile.. in my case i placed lappland 1 tile to the right and thorn where midnight is now
Nah first you can't use that as your only source of silence cause the uptime is horrible. Second it's just a waste skill 3 gives anyone a guaranteed eyegasm here in this map
Minimum lvl of operators? Just E1 lvl 60 is enough other than for Lappland. You would want Lappland at least E2 lvl 1 to unlock the longer silence duration. If you are using him also as a primary damage source, then higher level the better. Or, you can supplement the damage with some other operators too using the extra operator slot Kyo did not use.
this is the easiest time limited annihilation stage so far and the only I managed to clear 100% and I did it on my 2nd attempt no less. complete joke, it's just about delaying the spread of the goo as long as possible. I only used 2 6* operators too and one of them (Passenger) was just to fill the last slot and he isn't even good for this stage because all enemies have low DEF and high RES
My E2L30 Skill LVL7 Lappland made it, although you need to be careful by timing medic skills and the ranged guard skill in the big late 200 to 400 waves.
I think AoE casters don't have enough splash radius to hit the diagonal enemies. As for Chestnut, Honeyberry is actually better and you can buy her in the red cert shop.
Regarding the AoE casters: no, they are not viable in lieu of steward; they wouldn't hit the threat at all. Their AoEs would focus the nigh-unkillable peckers rather than the mudbringer, and the radii of their attacks are not big enough to catch everyone there at once. Levelling steward is incredibly cheap and extremely worthwhile, but if you don't want to cash in for something worth far more than the input(especially in regards to Integrated Strategies, where he's the best hopeless pick for the caster tag) and have an E1MAX-or-higher heavyweight/beseiger sniper already prepped, they might be usable as a substitute. Regarding Chestnut: Absolutely necessary, unless you have a stronger elemental medic on hand. Elemental damage is crippling and cumulative, and this map is incompatible with any of the workarounds that avoid elemental medic usage. Your strongest and perhaps only bet is to bring either honeyberry or mulberry to E1MAX at minimum. [Edit: And like the fellow below proposed, if you happen to have a maxed-out Lumen sitting around(which I doubt since you're trying to avoid dropping a meagre amount of resources on two critical units), they may somewhat alleviate the pain caused by your refusal to invest into any countermeasures for one of the game's common threatening mechanics.]
@@ユノタツモリ I also found that Lumen is a good replacement. His talent and S3 basically trivializes the stun effect, just need to watch out for the true damage but that's not too scary.
So if someone is somehow in a situation like me, with a E2 Lapp+Horn, no other Ranged Guard and no Elemental Medic? Horn can replace the Guard, replace Hibiscus here with Lancet and take an Elemental Medic from friend support. Also take another archer for your 12th slot, I used Jessica. You can delay putting healers at the start for a bit, place Horn behind Myrtle. Have Jessica take the spot next to the top blue base mirroring Kroos and Lancet were Hibi would usually go. I needed Jessica due to top leakage for flying units, if you don't have this issue she isn't needed, but if you do need her thats why you have to replace Hibi with Lancet for deployment slots. Note you need to pay attention for Nethersea Brands dropping due to Horn possibly killing an enemy before Lapp can silence it, but it shouldn't crop up too much. My own run also didn't have time to trigger her revive though given you don't want her to do too much damage thats probably for the best.

Astgenne E1L50 made short work of them
Any will work, Pudding arguably better than Astgenne in this role as she has higher attack modifier.
wait, slow ignore dodge? do I need to land the projectile first to slow and remove dodge or it programmed to always ignore dodge?

Consider this one "walk in park". Even Chernobog requires more attention.
Tyvm Kyo
Uncle Mlynar is hilarious to be used against those sniping snail.
and so i realized the suffering and the pure bollocks of using a therapist rather than a voodoo healer.
You can also use Ebenhilz in stead of Steward, since he has enemy priority on S3

lappy single-handedly proof that silencing enemy is still RELEVANT strat fr fr😔
I used Thorns for Midnight, so I moved him and Myrtle one tile right each to make up for it, and it worked! I got the idea from another comment here.
You can easily replace AOE sniper with Suzuran with S2!
So this annihation is very easy. As long as there's no creep on the ground. Then it becomes very hard.
