I usually don't bother optimizing maps on CN, but I'm really invested in not touching any POO Event mechanic is that map is permafreezing you, You need to stay close to the heaters to prevent it (somebody at HG played Frostpunk) Boss does 3 things 1. Turn off heaters periodically, 1 in phase 1, 2 in phase 2 2. In phase 2 after losing 25% HP he nukes the entire map, if any of the heaters are turned off he instantly recasts this skill. 3. Hit like a goddamn truck lmao Dude does 3000 damage per hit on the fuckin farm stage
@@alifakbar4232 His healing isn't great but his elemental healing is strong, maxed out he fully heals a circle and then some if they're under 50%. Of course, he also comes out after Eyjaberry, so...
It feels like when Harold is the bad boss he is OP Caster and has similar kit as Gnosis and Santalla but when he's a welfare operator he humble himself and became a good Guy Medic. I'm just hoping they made him Incantation Medic instead and have a talent of cold and freeze mechanics that way he is not far from his boss kit.
Took me dozens of tries before changing my approach by stalling him near the top side. Avoided him from clearing 3 of my furnace down to just 2 (mid and top right). The mid can be re-ignited with a sniper that aims it. Shoutout to Mlynar as well since he makes it easier.
the boss is not that bad if you DONT kill him fast in his 2nd phase which sucks for a farming stage lol good thing the material the stage drops is not that rare
The first clip made me go "Who's this I thought I'm supposed to watch Silvergun.." I thought that you don't build your 6* since you're a lower rarity player.. Also, wtf is that snowball damage
Played through all of it in about a week, really enjoyable. Favorite fight was fires of raven ending with a slow ass spider mech. Boss zipping around me while I struggle to keep up. I have a half finished Manual aim only run I should go back to some time.
At my first playthrough of this stage when bro began chanting and shooting his funny ice bomb which destroy my whole team, I was flabbergasted (still better than that stupid boss at Jessica alter event)
Jessica alters event boss was hard??? What universe are we in now??? Their entire stage was "wow texas alter and thyphoon sure needs a showcase stage" lmao
This boss encapsulate the issue with Arknight's communitys complaint anyway. Boss too weak and/or too simple? Complaints, whine that Mlynar and the rest of the god tiers unit trivialize the game. Boss has actual insane dmg input and/or specific mechanic that prevent unga bunga strat? Stall fest to be able to kill him anyway. For me, it is is the illusion of free choice except here it is the illusion of "strategic depth" when people whine about this. A clear with no broken units can follow the same old strategy idea and a clear with broken units can still have a lot of micromanagements and thought behind their uses despite them making things way easier. In the end, it comes to optimisation and decisions for me. All of that to sake that hentai artist truly is the work of god and I love watching you use her.
Different people like diffrent things is all. For example I don't see anything wrong with stalling a boss and properly using the event mechanics to fight him. For the record I quite like this boss, though I think the rest of the event is crappy (turn on heaters, AFK next to them, GG)
@@DrSilvergun but eben charge atack is also multi hit. With smaller windup , and game can cut 3/4 of attack charges just because it has instant react ,yes???? If not it's kinda broken ) Boss as good stun/freeze/silence/ levitate immune ( If no we can try kill him under status . (I hope priority higher to status then boss skills)
Blemichi made a video showing how Horn's artillery nuke can actually clip through his entire second phase healthbar lol. To answer the question though, I mean sure give it a try, but I don't think it would work
Well they certainly have to buff the bosses to compensate for the OP operators. Bosses are getting powercrept too. I wonder how bad his EX version is gonna be
Playing with a less than 1 year old account without burst skill still was pain, I really want to like the boss but for farmable map I still feels like he either hit way too hard and /or turn off heater way too fast and with the massive extra stats on Level 1 he better have a long march before blue box on EX like Eblana also hit very hard but there was the mud to reduce her attack speed to make it more manageble
Watching this before the best Guard comes into the game. Wow Gnosis 2.0 looks annoying. Was gonna test the usual Horn x Typhon artillery fire farming, but might have to take the freezing mechanic seriously.
I am honestly sick and tired of bosses that just nukes the whole board. Seriously, this is the ONLY way they know how to up the difficulty. Not only do they nuke the board they freaking add the part where they make it impossible for your "towers" to do anything time and time again. Not to mention the 1hit kills AFTER THE NUKING. They claim all matches can be cleared with low stars character but every tutorial asks me to use at least 1 6* character at Max level. This is so bs.
dumb thing about it is that it doesn't actually make the fight harder. You can retreat almost everything for the boss and use 3 frd to cycle him forever. Board clear means nothing to an empty board.

I actually laughed at the transition from meta squad being wiped to deepcolor 4 squad
Except meta squad managed to get their own revenge with Ling 2 squad and IIRC there's even a Ling solo in Billibilli
Tbf his meta squad got hit with a very unlucky timing
@@skywalkerjohn8965 i mean yeah it’s obviously just meant to look like an average unga bunga strat as a joke, not a serious attempt using good units
As it turns out he has 41 fucking years of combat experience and we got him as a fucking medic.
Uh, Harold alter, anyone?
badass bosses after they become a playable character:
@@Syr3i except remember that Degen dropped this same event.
@@VilArknightssacrifices were made😂
_“Hey Harold bad news, you’re insanely strong in lore but like gameplay wise you fell off man.”_
reedalt at home:
the challenge of this boss is how to make it a speed farm because this boss is another stallfest lol
strongest casual player vs weakest 0 sanity doctor
you can insta kill the boss with eben without triggering his 25% health attack/invincibility
EBENGAMING FR FR
@@AliaRohaluss_TheCat eben can one shot him???
Eben already one shot the Steam Knight, no surprise there...
If Silvergun said he's scary then we're so screwed.
proceeds to Ebenuke him anyway :clueless:
If Kyo say the stage is bulls or hard
*RUN*
Kinda weird that he's not a free version of Gnosis when he's playable considering what he could do as a boss
We do already have that in Kjera so it would be redundant at that point lmao
Makes sense lore-wise. Dude just wants to chill and retire after decades of being a Victorian soldier
Can say that this happened to me since the enemy info didnt say anything about the stuff he does, the usual first run you die kind of boss
I usually don't bother optimizing maps on CN, but I'm really invested in not touching any POO

And then he decides to become a simple medic for us after it's all over...
@@slonik0002truelly a gavial moment..
@@slonik0002 at least he still retain the healing skill when he was a boss, although his healing as barely noticeable
@@alifakbar4232 His healing isn't great but his elemental healing is strong, maxed out he fully heals a circle and then some if they're under 50%.
Of course, he also comes out after Eyjaberry, so...
@@slonik0002not everyone have eyjaberry, moreover she is limited so, harold is actually more like a gift to newbie and the unlucky.
Kinda weird that he became elemental medic after it all over when his whole event is debuff heavy and not elemental heavy.
Would be better if hes incantation fr
@@ReedSolutions Really should just be a Therapist and not a Wandering medic, granting resistance to stun/freeze, indeed
I got whiplashed from seeing you use full meta squad in the first minute.
frostpunk AND starcraft references in a silvergun vid man christmas came early this year
Moduled Lumen is all you need to unga-bunga the stage
I used silence alter tho.people really sleeping on her s3.
first minute is accurate representation of my blind clears
Banger boss theme fr. I like the beat drop a lot
Someone needs to confiscate what HG's been smoking lately with those level designs.
They had to give him a prosthetic leg to nerf him a little, otherwise this event would be impossible
On the bright side the more we have to redo this stage the more we get to listen to this banger of a bgm

the boss is not that bad if you DONT kill him fast in his 2nd phase which sucks for a farming stage lol
good thing the material the stage drops is not that rare
you can insta kill him with eben without triggering his invincibility/aoe attacks
Or just obliterate him before he can even use his skills lmao
Eben/exu and newly released degen does just that
@@kyarumomochi5146 Can a S3M3 and Level 3 Module Degen kill both of his phase or do I need to buff her ?
aw hell nah they made those stupid fake mobile games where you gotta keep a family warm real in AK
feel like everyone exaggerated a lil, its not nukes, just snowballs
I love how they added a boss that goes invulnerable after taking like, 2 dmg when they are releasing fucking Degen as an operator lmao
Aphelios 200 Years Moonlight Vigil ❌
Harold 200 Years Clean Ace ✅
Literally a Nuclear Strike that cause the return of the Ice Age
That damn Sami Warrior taught someone to Permafreze
*Damn you*
hes here! Santa Claus Im coming to get ya!
It's close... So close... I can feel it... Almost there
All this flair and he ended up being 5* welfare medic when he came to our side *sadge
The first clip made me go "Who's this I thought I'm supposed to watch Silvergun.."
I thought that you don't build your 6* since you're a lower rarity player..
Also, wtf is that snowball damage
This is so real. I used an entire meta squad and barely killed him then proceeded to wipe his entire phase with dorothy later down the line.
I'm glad that already E2'ed Deepcolor, she's very useful in this stage (from my experience with her)
Do NOT let Santalla see this vid
Hats off for you always getting these things done. Thank you for taking time to make this!
Yup, cant wait to use eben nuke for that brief invincibility during phase 2 lol. Him and warfarin is enough, not sure about ex stage.
But what did you think of Armored Core 6? :o
Played through all of it in about a week, really enjoyable.
Favorite fight was fires of raven ending with a slow ass spider mech. Boss zipping around me while I struggle to keep up.
I have a half finished Manual aim only run I should go back to some time.
So the torches can be lit by attacking them?
Is that what they call "percussuve maintenance"?
The big snowball is real
Hah, Dr. Diamondgun just tried to muscle through likr i would! Luckily, Dr. Silvergun is here to show us both and everyone else how it's reqlly done.
Wow, GDI Orbital Strikes! More deadlier than Londinium Artillery strikes?
Insert Call of Duty Nuclear warning sfx
At least he's not true damage tumor making floating eyeball
Lmao the enemies with huge snowballs look adorable.
People who not read: chuckles I in danger
Harold may have come out with a goat, but he's the GOAT! He's got nothing on 1 op relay though! :D
Gotta love how the most elite enemy looking boss in existence has one of he hardest hitting attacks ever
oh ye he does look like those aura dudes in IS now that u mention it
Bubble gaming
that momnt when -12% atk reduction noticable coz boss does ridiculous dmg
Yo is that Lapplad's dad?
At my first playthrough of this stage when bro began chanting and shooting his funny ice bomb which destroy my whole team, I was flabbergasted (still better than that stupid boss at Jessica alter event)
You mean the average Texan denizen Cliff?
Speaking of the Blacksteel event boss, his theme sounds kinda similar to Harold's
Jessica alters event boss was hard??? What universe are we in now??? Their entire stage was "wow texas alter and thyphoon sure needs a showcase stage" lmao
Ah yeah, "AK is an easy game"
@@Giovansbilly It is
If you actually read and use good operators then entire game becomes a joke

What was that!!?
Its not the boss thats annoying its the freeze
Unit lost
Is the boss immune to status debuffs? I want to freeze him as well.
not relevant to 4* so I wouldn't know
Would be dumb as shit if you can freeze him considering he walks around in Frostpunk weather with no problems
@@DrSilvergun but you gotta admit it’ll be funny 😁
Why if use Ch'en (guard) with buff? Try to kill second phase in 1 go .
chen is awful for this, cause S3 is multihit.
Eben is ur boy
@@DrSilvergun but eben charge atack is also multi hit. With smaller windup , and game can cut 3/4 of attack charges just because it has instant react ,yes???? If not it's kinda broken )

All the hits land in less frames (1) so your odds are better.
Blemichi made a video showing how Horn's artillery nuke can actually clip through his entire second phase healthbar lol. To answer the question though, I mean sure give it a try, but I don't think it would work
If we let this take so long, are we truly escaping POO..?
Well they certainly have to buff the bosses to compensate for the OP operators. Bosses are getting powercrept too.
I wonder how bad his EX version is gonna be
Well, since silvergun easily does this with only four 4* unit then it probably not that bad. We might need lumen for the ex stage tho.
easy my ass :D
I m stress beat frostnova and now they want me to beat this?
Playing with a less than 1 year old account without burst skill still was pain, I really want to like the boss but for farmable map I still feels like he either hit way too hard and /or turn off heater way too fast
and with the massive extra stats on Level 1 he better have a long march before blue box on EX
like Eblana also hit very hard but there was the mud to reduce her attack speed to make it more manageble
Watching this before the best Guard comes into the game. Wow Gnosis 2.0 looks annoying. Was gonna test the usual Horn x Typhon artillery fire farming, but might have to take the freezing mechanic seriously.
but trash af as playable

dumb thing about it is that it doesn't actually make the fight harder.
You can retreat almost everything for the boss and use 3 frd to cycle him forever.
Board clear means nothing to an empty board.
towers, tutorials, matches, whining about a non issue
its all in here
