Annihilation 3 - Yan Lungmen Downtown | Thorns | Ultra Low End Squad |【Arknights】 

I remember back then the old players suffer so much in this anni because of the hammer guy. Now we can "just thorn it".

The ranged guard and healing defender are the answer to this stage, the enemy waits long so you take them out before they even start moving. The real challenge are the drones and having enough healing on the squishy units

Thanks a lot! Major difference is that I had silverash instead of arene - ranged guards just obliterated this annihilation, the only problem was a drone at 398, but thankfully I had firewatch for emergency situations. Very good guide

Its the best low operators annihilation i ever seen on this annihilation its so simple and efficient. Its 10/10

Bro, you´re my hero. Finally I finished this stage after so many tries. XD Thanks a lot.

Ultra Low end and extremely efficient. This is the best strat I have seen so far. Changed a few things and practically afked the stage. I had E2 SA, Arene, and borrowed a Thorns. Silverash on the tile in front of Arene's position in the vid and Arene in Gummy. Which puts him out of Perfumer's range so I replaced her with Sussurro. Arene was super helpful since I have low trust on both him and Meteor. Only needed to activate SA and Arene skills during drones and the hammer dudes. Didn't even need to retreat Courier (who was standing in for Spot) or Arene.

I try fkin 6 strategies, and ONLY YOUR IS WORKING. Man, thank you, you're best.

Critical information for us ignorant F2P players: *You have to use Thorns' skill, twice.* Failing to do so will result in you quickly dying at 300 kills because Thorns isn't hitting the units being blocked. Also, your DPS (snipers/ranged guard) need to be highly leveled or the damage won't be enough to kill some enemies before they pass. With a level 55 Jessica and 50 Meteor (E1), 7 enemies leaked by the end.

I tried other guides and oh my, I couldn't pass even with several retries. Your guides have few free slots and use 2 low level defenders that I already have. No risks of sniper dying to the drones too. Appreciate it!

I tried several strategies on this after exhausting my own and all came up short for me. This one came up short too the first time I tried it. A drone leaked past Meteor at about the 315 kills mark so I replaced her with Archetto and finally got that 400th kill so Thanks Dr.! It's worth noting that I'd already replaced Kroos with Ash from the start since she only costs pennies more to deploy.

Ty a lot for this guide! 💛 I changed Aren with Silverash and Meteorite with Exusiai so everything was even easier, but I couldn't clear this stage with another guides. Thanks again. Now I have enough certificates to buy Thorns :)

I deploy thorns before the defender in the middle, so the enemy caster and sniper will prioritize to attack the defender instead of thorns, and thorns can comfortably deal damage :D Sorry for my bad English, I use translator btw, thanks for the guide :D

your anni clears are really amazing! the fact that it doesn't require a lot of steps is what makes this so good

Thank you. Thorns is so versatile and can be placed in any mission. I don't have Arene but I have Lappland (from 5* selector newbie bonus). And I change a sniper with Pudding.

this was so clean, and much less stressful than any of my previous attempts at this, thank you very much

good guide, but I'd recommend a 2 block vanguard like courier instead of myrtle and utage e1 max can chop up a defense crusher so you don't have to let it hit your line from the back.

Thank you so much for your guide. It's actually so good that this stage became my first 400 kills v1.000 annihilation

Awesome job on the guide, thanks kindly! Been stuck with a few opponents sneaking through on this one for the longest time.

Wow, I tried this strategy, with Lappland instead of Arene, and Nearl (only at level 50) instead of Spot, and it's kinda works. Just leaked 1 Junkman at top lane and 1 at the bottom one Probably needs to increase Nearl's level

This strat is The Way. Don't even bother trying all those other finicky strats, just borrow a nicely leveled S3M3 thorns and go to town. Used E2L40 Lappland instead of Arene (top lane crusher lingered for a while because I forgot to switch to S2 for more arts damage, but it was still manageable), E2L20 Blue Poison instead of Kroos, E1L60 Jessica instead of meteor, E1L30 Shu in top lane briefly before switching to spot, and then in bot lane instead of Noir, E1L60 Sussurro instead of Hibiscus and E1L60 Courier instead of Myrtle. That meant I needed to leave Courier up through most of the invisible caster wave to stock up on DP, but there weren't any issues, just popped Perfumer's skill then to make sure no one went down. Thorns was E2L90 so he did a TON of work, and the way operators are laid out means the arts drones get minced from afar and don't threaten your snipers much. Totally mourning investing in Shaw for this stage because gummy + thorns + Jessica was so smooth and easy in keeping bot clear. Same goes for my E1L60 gitano, do NOT go down that road bc yeah, she'll cheese the bot crushers but then the two in top destroy you anyway. E2 Shirayuki, Blue Poison and Lappland up top do not do enough damage, subbing for E2 Mousse or Midnight, lol, just pray for luck. This strat is wayyyy more reliable. I think the very best thing about it is letting the first top crusher through, you get time to dps it down. This is 100% the strat for you if you've got some E2s from trying to follow other strats. I got to 398 enemies following Lisara's lappland guide and even getting to that was a scramble due to ops dying and needing to be replaced. I used nearly all auto skills for dps on this one and it was smooth and chill as hell. It might be a rougher ride if you don't have max potential + trust on your lower rarity operators, but even low levels and investment should be enough to get you to 350 or even 375 enemies without issue.

I basically combined this run with one using Shaw and Gitano and it worked! Finally!!! Thorns was the key for sure, thank you!

Took a couple tries to get it right on my end since our rosters are quite different, but the strategy is exceptionally sound. I replaced Arene with Lappland (E1 lvl 70 rank6 [I leaked with rank5]), Meteor with Jessica, Gummy with Nearl, Perfumer with Nightingale, and Spot with Cuora. At 397 kills, 1 drone got past Kroos, but I had brought Adnachiel with the extra slots, so I retreated Cuora to put him in the back. Terrifying moment but not actually a very dangerous one. Thank you thank you.

Thanks a lot for this great strategy! Actually didn't have many of the characters from this clear levelled, but it worked just fine by using some different units. You are a legend!

After so many months, I finally cleared this annihilation THANK YOU

Thanks so much for sharing! tried so many different strats & failed. only yours work the first time I tried ! so happy and thankful I finally cleared this anni at 400 kills ❤

Thorns was the key, damn I couldn't believe how easily I cleared it with the correct positioning, tysm.

Couldn't figure this one out at all, but I barely managed to scrape by with your guide. You da best

It took a lot of attempts, and both in game and irl sanity (as my account is pretty new) but I finally cleared this annihilation with this guide. Arene missing the last 20 levels and 90% trust made this unreasonable hard 😂Thank you for the guide nonetheless.

Brooo thank you so much for helping out and responding!! I cleared it out smoothly this time and was able to buy saria🤧🙏🙏your guides are awesome

Heck yeah, finally cleared it after atleast 10 tries at this point! I swapped Kroos for Blue Poison, since I have her at E2Lvl20 and her S1 at M3 which solved the issue I had of Arene not having high enough trust for damage

This helps me so much, Thank you!

thank you for the guide! it was easy to follow with minimal stress. great job!

Holy cow, you saved my ass. My team comp was 5 levels lower than in this video but it worked. Thanks bud!

Thank you, this one works with me. Thorns was my missing piece. Im glad i came across this video.

Thank you thank you thank you!! I tried so many guides (Ifrit, Silverash) none of them worked. I desperately needed the last 15 certs for Caster Eyja in the shop!! I don't have Arene, so I used E1 60 skill level 7 Lappland. I don't have Meteor leveled, so I just used E1 60 sl 7 Jessica. But 5 enemies leaked at the end.

Amazing guide. I don't have Arene so I used Lappland instead, and worrying about the damage, instead of Kroos I used GreyThroat. Worked perfectly

thanks bro, finally solved after a long time trying various tutorials on youtube 😭

Among other anni3 vid, yours make me beat this stage, cheers

THANK YOU! i'm a new player and finally cleared it with this

If you have GoldenGlow with S3 and ptil, you can put GGolw on the second sniper spot. She can pretty much kill everything while they stand idling, and her cycles are quite fast

Did this strategy substituing with my strong OPs (Horn, Ptilopsis and an E2 Silverash, Blue Poison) and a Goldenglow just for backup damage and damn, worked really fucking well. Thanks with the help at the Orundum Max.

very impressed, thanks so much

Ahhh it's been few weeks before I found this! The guide I always wanted

Bro thank you so much. This is the only strag that I only be able to beat. Tysm!

i has tried this so many time until i see this video. Bro u did a really good job, thank youuuuuuuu

I got Thorns on an off banner pull and hes carried my outskirts annihilation to 400 kills. Glad to see the bloke having some use in the downtown one too

That right there is why you’re the best dokutah the one and only

Thankyou, only your guide work since most popular youtuber not updating their strats..

i replaced some of the ops, and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

this one works of all guides. thank you so much!!

ty very much dr leon on all the guide on yt this is the best that i found i got mylar but its not max only e2 lvl 30 sl7, also i dont have arene so i use a 3 star midnight instead ,gummy is also not max level also those 3 are not max trust my meteor is level 1 so i use a e1 lvl 50 sl7 bp instead at the bottom which works too and mytrle e1 lvl 1 sl7 works too

With lappland instead of arene I basically afk'ed the whole fight. Best strategy so far.

Thank you! This was great and didnt need any micromanagement! My units were all around E1 lv40 and some died at the very last hammer guy but I took gravel and coura to stall enough. I used Silverash E2Lv50 instead of arene and warfarin instead of Hibiscus.

Can I beat this Annihilation using lvl 45 and skill lvl 4 on my *4 operator, except for Myrtle she already at E2 S1M3 and Perfumer lvl 60 skill lvl 4. Thank you

U tried 2 strategies and it ended up failing, but ur guide is the only thing works for me. Thankss!!!

Thank you! New sub.

Ty sir, this is the one I needed.

Thank you so much!!! Been playing this game since September 2021 and have been stuck on 355 when playing this stage

Thanks a lot pal, its short yet easy to follow

If you have Lee, save up more DP (200+, easily doable) use Lee instead of Spot at the top when the Crushers spawn at the end. With his talent he won't get stunned and can tank them without any problems.

Thanks! This was really helpful!

This one guide helped me thanks alot

Thank you.

Thank you for this. Kept a similar squad except I swapped SA for Arene and he mowed them down... Also brought Surtr for emergency in case anybody got through the front line lol.

I am still pretty new and can’t seem to do this 😢. Once the crusher makes its way to the bottom side it wrecks everyone and won’t die fast enough. Maybe the Thorns I’m borrowing is to weak but it stuns Thorn, then stuns or kills Noir then stuns Gummy and runs off and leaks. I am constantly failing at exactly this part. And the newly stunned Gummy means other enemies start to leak through as well. I don’t have Meteor. Is she 100% required because the defense break? Is that why I can’t deal with the crusher?

Thanks a lot, managed to do it like you but with different units (gotta say that I really need to build Arene at some point bc while SA S3 is good it takes a while to charge and doesn't do Arts damage)

Thank youuu for the guideee❤❤❤❤

Best guide for annihilation 3! Thanks!

Why did you pick Gummy up at 350, only to immediately put her back down again?

for me, they key was letting the big guy in 4:14 stuned Thorns and pass through. Be careful.

the simplest and the best, thank you

I finally finished this stage! Thanks a lot!!

Thank you so much for your guide😭😭

Thank you Dr. Leon!

chalter helped so much dealing with the crushers on my end if you place her in place of kroos. thanks so much for the guide man.

thanks a lot bro ı made it thanks to you but pls show the squad a little bit more because we need to time the pause button. you give us literally 0.2 seconds xd

How on Earth do you get enough dps to kill the hammer guys (the ones spawning ~350 kills) at the bottom? I'm also using a level 60 Meteor along with a Thorns (I was using a level 65 Thorns just now), I had his skill online just fine, but I just wasn't able to kill fast enough. That results in hammerers getting reaching and stunning my operators, letting enemies leak through.

Thanks a bunch Doc!

Wasnt paying attention to spot during his second deployment and two leaked :,)) always check on your defenders guys!!

Thx it works, you really need high level and M3 Thorn for this E2 lvl 50 S3 lvl 7 non mastery is not enough

Thank you very much sempai doctor!

Can i use midnight lvl 35 or lappland level 25 instead of arene Eyja alter instead of perfumer Cardigan instead of beagle Cuora instead of gummy E1 lvl 60 jessica instead of meteor? Since i cant raise the others ops because i will be poor in lmd from e2ing myrtle

Help!! I'm trying this run and it almost works for me, but the problem is that my only other Lord is Midnight (and Leto, but I only recently got her and she's not even in Elite 1) and with him he couldn't beat the first Hammer that your Arene wins, and that's why 1 enemy, 1 only!! pass through Spot causing me to not complete the annihilation.

thank you so much fro the idea i win with no problem.

YOU ARE GOD. YOU ARE THE BEST, GUY

does myrtle have to be E2? also can i replace kroos with an E1 Exu and Meteor with Jessica? edit: OH MY GOD I DID IT I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH AAA EVERY GUIDE OUT THERE WOULDN'T WORK EXCEPT FOR YOURS

Thank you!

Now u can just put mlynar in front two tile from Beagle,he pretty tanky to take dmg or u can use medic or guardian to heal him if he still dying

Thank you!

Dayum this works, thanks broo

thx bro, ur strat so ez to use

For some reason the enemies are leaking through my defender at the top lane after 350. Is there anyway to prevent this?

And it works for me, thanks!!!

Thank u!!!!

thank you!! 🫂

Me: *struggles with another guide that involves using Gitano* Also me: *second tries this guide (would've been first try if Noir Corne died to switch to Gummy and avoid the leak)*

Thorns just solves everything

used support thorns to clear this anni and got thorns from headhunt from headhunt permit i bought with certificates

Still work 2024. Top spot I even use e0 hung and even pass with emergency gravel lol. Insider e1lvl40 can replace bottom sniper btw, skill lvl probably not needed(mine used skill 1 lvl 2)

This is a very great guide
