_"And if you watch someone else's guide they're immediately wrong and I hate them forever."_ Hold on, I need to ask Zaf to make an IS2 guide real quick.
2:32 ingots required to retrieve doubles for each retrieval (1st time needs 1 ingot, 2nd needs 2, 3rd needs 4 and so on) this resets for each shop encounter, so if you made it to i.e. 3rd time in a shop, the next shop in that run will reset back as if you were at 1st time extra note for the Investment System: each run will generate a number of ingots you can deposit from 0-?, if that number hits zero, the Investment System will not appear in any shop in that run it's also unavailable while playing in In-Depth Investigation (or Survey Entries) and Monthly Team
Also Monthly Team are basicly place to try out those operator combination with specific relic to start. They only give one time reward reaching to certain stage.
Reasons to pull for Lingling: -She hot -Drunkard -Good for Normal gameplay -Good for CC? -Good for IS -Limited operator -𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 -Upcoming 𝓑𝓪𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓭 modules.
So if I understood this right, Integrated strategies is a game mode that costs 0 sanity and where each run is independent from the others. Hope is a currency that you get each run to spend on operators. When you start a run, you're given three class specific vouchers. These can be used to buy your starting operators. Each rarity costs a different amount of hope (6 for 6 stars, 3 for 5 stars, 2 for 4 stars, and 0 for lower). When you buy an operator, it's capped at e1 max (Will be lower if your own operator is lower). Don't worry about only having three e1 operators, you can get more recruitment vouchers throughout the run. When you get a recruitment voucher, you can also choose to e2 one of your e1 operators. This will also cost hope. IS has a variety of nodes that can have battles, shops, events, or more. Each section of nodes will have a boss stage at the end of it. Battles in the gameplay can reward you with vouchers, which I've already discussed. They can also reward you with relics. They're officially called collectables, but that term is dumb so I don't use it. Relics can be collected throughout a run and buff your operators. As a run goes on, you collect more operators and relics to strengthen your roster to keep up with progressively stronger enemies and nodes. Is this correct Mr. Yii?
OK, yeah you get class vouchers at the start, a voucher can be used to recruit an operator at E1 or promote him to e2. you get more vouchers randomly after completing combat maps or buy them in the shop. In IS 1 your squad size and deploy limit were quite low until you get artifacts to increase them you get hope when you level up (thru winning combat) or artifacts, since you probably only get a certain amount of combat you are hard capped on hope.
Pretty much I do want to point out a few difference from first IS and technically new feature that YII probably forgot to mention. [you're given three class specific vouchers] In the new IS you technically can pick which sets of specific class vouchers you get instead of all random, you do still get the option of going all random though(which reward you one ticket that have a guarantee free 4* as a compensation for RNG)
Can't wait for Podenco to be MVP again! Don't sleep on operators that have healing, if you don't get a medic on those early stages they're fantastic. I didn't beat any of the final bosses first time round with fungimist but still had a blast and was super addicted.
as a player who watches Kyostinv guides, I have already maxed all of my three stars. you can't simply watch Kyostinv guides without maxing all of your 3* operators.
for someone with extreme beauty.. Tsukinogi really give off "don't judge a book, by its cover" vibe, heavily lol.. also, Fiammetta will be the new W (W was very good in IS#1) hahah
4:11 I'm not sure when it came out but Survey Entries weren't released yet on the start of IS2, they came at some point as an expansion. Monthly Teams on the other hand were out since release.
one thing i look forward the most is turining any character with attack interval decrease in their skill into even better machine gun, especially ceobe
Just adding, the random effects can be annoying, such as "lose hp per second and increase atk spd for both allies and enemies" and "Increase Hope required to recruit operator but decrease hope required to e2 them", and you will get rewards for doing the "Monthly team"
Thank you Yii-sensei, TOTALLY Learn tons of new stuff in this video Surely I haven't watch other YT-ber like 25thNight do livestream IS2 Clear to understand the system and new mobs and boss already but that is just me talking
"Play the gamemode for fun" literally what IS2 is designed for, omw to RIHQ and AKO to recommend Gladiia S1 because Spinach and Chocolate enables her to do 4k per skill :100:
i will not pull for ling because she trivializes the game i will pull for ling because she is a alcoholic dragon girl and i am a degenerate fr tho looking forward to seeing everyone's runs and playing it myself since i missed the first one
Leveled up a bunch of ops I think would be fun and are archetypes I never used otherwise (Beanstalk, Indigo, Roberta, Mint, and Bena) And leveled up some lows I should've done a long time ago like finally E1ing Gummy
0:46 Yii: You must be in high places in order to find a spot like this. Amiya: *Literally the CEO of Rhodes Island* I love the mental image of Amiya addressing a press conference on live tv, but only using the Animal Crossing voice.
So IS2 is a roguelite gamemode that features: A shop with a donation machine from which you can deposit and withdraw from (and depositing unlocks things, and the machine can break), and hallucinations that negatively affect the way you play a floor? I know the comparison has probably been made before, but I play relatively blind to CN, so I don't care. But this is basically The Binding of Isaac but in Arknights?
People should build Tsukinogi just to have her base slave in the HR so they can send you clues faster. That is the only reason to use her. Also as a 4* user I can't wait to roll IS2. Hopefully it wont get old too fast tho.
I've been off of Arknights for a bit and was looking forward to this... What are the meta slave ops because I've played enough to max out the tree and got the first 65 levels on the candles thing and I've only won once.
I have this feeling im gonna be screwed because I built so many 5* and neglected 4*... I just like the 5s. BP, Plat, Specter, Akafuyu, La Pluma, Vulcan, Greythroat, Warfarin, Whisperain... at least I have Jaye, Perfumer, and Utage built.
Yii: How do you get these? Amiya: Well, you see....you know all those Elite Operators that you will never get just like all the beach skins? One word. SPEED!
Yii: "Talks about investing and the chance that it could fail." Me: "Hey there's some BOI mechanics here! Nice." Yii: "Talks about halucinations and shows a curse of blindness effect." Me: "It's come to my attention that I'm going to play an anime tower defense BOI..."
Ling actually seems a bit overrated in IS. Like she makes the early stages much easier. *But* she doesn't get the same level of cracked brokeness that a lot of other operators get with relics (the " summoner summons get +50% attack" is the biggest one, and that's nothing compared to some of the crazy shit other classes get), which means she's not going to be team MVP by the time you're doing the hard past: the bosses. If anything, I think jumping on the Ling train for IS is a good way to have a lot of frustrating runs that go the distance but fail the boss fight.
They don't call this game GuardsKnight for nothing. I already got Level 50 just by always saving up for E2 Silver Daddy and E2 Thorns. These are the only 2 OPs i need, the rest can be 3 stars for all i care.
Scene is seriously overvalued for IS. She drops into irrelevance after the third floor and if you can't build a starting squad that carries you to the third floor, you probably don't have Scene built either. And that's before you consider that you can just borrow, like, a Thorns or something.
1.The reward will be refresh/month 2. Yii said IS mode is addicting Me with 3 account & irl dialy work : Chuckles i'm in danger , i can already see my self have less sleep in the future -_-
