Insane shop, cute skins, decent farming stages.

Great event tbh
I agree! I'll admit that I've been skipping the story to get straight to farming, but given that I've heard it's quite excellent, I will revisit it when I can. I can say that I am in love with the visual design of the event. They always do a great job, but there's a certain amount of polish and excitement to this event that should be appreciated. The main track used is also fantastic, as can be expected, and it's something I'd stick in my playlist if they would put their damn music on Spotify.

The nodes in particular have been really enjoyable. Visually, they are quite appealing, and mechanically I haven't found any of them to be too annoying or restrictive. Perhaps my only gripe is that the coils that sometimes drop as a reward are quite gimmicky, as I haven't been able to find a use for them on any of the maps thus far. Perhaps they will be more relevant during the EX stages coming later.

This has been my favorite stage thus far, as the stacking attack boosts are hilarious and you get bunches of goons to murder at your leisure. I wish it were a farming stage!

The shop is quite fantastic! The first thing I did was buy up delicious D32 Steel so I could start working towards the M3 on Surtr's Twilight. I've now started working towards Whislash who I will probably raise even if her archetype isn't that strong because Guardknights is the game I play. It's a bit unfortunate that the event is mathematically impossible to finish as a F2P (even with saved potions) so I hope I'll be able to clear out at least all of the T1 and most of the T2 offerings.

Speaking of the ice-cream-loving Sarkaz babe, Surtr has already begun proving her worth as I am using her as part of a trust farm setup for MN-8. I get a bit giddy every time I see the following because I absolutely love farming for uncraftable mats, and manganese is in particularly high demand. Thank you Hypergryph for at least giving us a small reprieve with these solid drop rates.

I'll have to forego the skins at the moment due to being short on originium and having others in my sights, but I definitely agree they are well-designed and incredibly thematic. I'm glad that we at least get Shaw's for free, though as an owner of both FEater and Weedy, I probably wont see it in use very often.

Oh my, how could I forget? I fucking love the horse girls!

I don't play Arknight, but...is on that ticket written "Mieszko"??? What is it?
It's a Polish name. Some races in the Arknights lore tend to follow or mimic a real world nation. I hadn't made the connection before this event, but apparently the Kazimerz knights (Kuranta; horse people) are Polish-themed. For another example, the dog-themed race Perro is inspired by Latin America, specifically Colombia.

So as to not double-post, I wanted to drop my doctor card if anyone wants to add me. I am always in search of active individuals to add to my list. It doesn't matter if your support selection is weak, just please be active as far as clue searching and exchange goes.

I have a multitude of other leveled operators if you need anyone else. All support units available have their best skill(s) at M3. I would have Surtr up there for a bit, but sadly she's still in the E2 L40 range because I am undergoing a chronic EXP record drought.

Whislash is absolutely adorable! My heart was beaming when I saw her cute little dance.

There's no shame in E2ing her, especially if you have the materials to spare. The autists who like to treat this game (or gacha in general) as a calculator wouldn't understand, but at the end of the day, it should all be able the waifu. Even in spite of supposedly niche use cases, as someone who loves to play Guardknights, she fits quite well in the teams I tend to build. I'm willing to give her an honest try at least, same as I did with Savage!

Plus, well you can't exact deny that E2 art of hers, yeah? Equal parts cute and majestic!

This lad definitely knows what's good. Eyes glued straight on that ass.

I guess giving the horse girls fat asses kind of makes sense.

Alright, people. Surtr is actually pretty fucking nuts. Check this out; the screencap is from MN-8. I wonder wondering how the right Corrupted Knight was dying so quickly since Blaze doesn't deal as much damage given her physical, but it hit me that Twilight has such a ridiculously long range and she was actually hitting BOTH for a time.

Bluestacks_086izrVlEs.png


I came up with a new strategy that involved dropping Phantom (any fast-redeploy should work) in front of the Knight, so now he's still getting hit by Surtr as she finishes up the one on her end. If you have her, I greatly recommend this strategy as it's absolutely hilarious yet insanely effective. This almost feels like cheats, and I'm getting throwbacks to when I first learned about Truesilver Slash.

Edit: Got an actual screencap of the carnage in action!

I had no idea how broken she was until I had some videos of her doing dumb shit pop up on youtube.

I try to avoid metafagging but she seems like one that I might have to E2 just in case I'm too retarded to clear something without her.

I truly enjoy the plot of this event, as the story gets pretty heavy at times. It's a wild ride to say the least. Alright, I'll stop horsing around.

Holy moly this is some heavy plot right there. From which game is it?
Also, the girl in the middle seems to have pretty well-developed legs as well. Man, I wish more waifus had some heavy plot and really stronk legs:hyper-ro-img::hyper-ro-img::hyper-ro-img:

They're all from Arknights. The left girl is Whislash, the middle is Nearl, the right is Blemishine. The former is a military trainer and the latter two are basically horse girl paladins, so they can take a lot of punishment. :korone-smug:

Even if you don't plan to play, I encourage you to look into the characters (girls especially) from the game. Great designs all around.

I entirely underestimated how much sanity was needed to empty the shop and now I'm frantically burning potions to get my tokens before it ends :hibiki-pain:

You actually could not mathematically clear the shop regardless of if you never missed a single point of sanity or properly saved up the free potions. I absolutely hate that they design some (most?) of the events like this. Fortunately I think it would only mean most of the low tier shop would remain untouched, but still it's disappointing all the same and punishing if you do end up wasting sanity (as I unfortunately have in a few instances).

I wish you the best in your rush to clear. :salute:

Yeah I was kind of expecting them to shove another out-of-order event back in to give people time to save to be honest. Even if it was another re-run.

I feel bad for my homies that weren't lucky on Surtr :satania-cry:
