Operator Replacement Suggestions (ORS): Click: Any ST Caster. Fang: Any Vanguard. Kroos: Any ST Sniper. Lancet: Best Tower sitter. Thorns: S3 M3. Blaze S2 M3. Gummy: Any Healing Defender. Gavial/Sussurro: Any ST Medic. Cuora: Any E2+ Defender (high HP + DEF). Ethan: S2 L7. E1 preferred. Kiara S1/Manticore S1/Mizuki S1. Perfumer: Any AOE Medic. Honeyberry/Mulberry ideal. E2 not required.
@@Shimon24 That's hard to answer considering Ethan is one of the few operators with 0 block. Similar operators like him are Manticore and Kiara, but your best bet would to instead use a summon somehow... idk really though
Protip: bring a slow supporter and plop her by the end of the annihilation when the Colossus are walking. It's possible for them to slip sometimes so slowing them when they're in the water helps. You probably have to retreat the ops nearest the red boxes though.
On one hand, yay no more sandstorm and those obnoxious afterimage snipers. My phone is saved. On the other hand, oh fudge not those boat casters and gramophones. Nice clear as always, Eckogen.
Thank you so much! I was just saying that Kyo's strat didn't work for me and Kukki doesn't do annihilation maps. It was solely up to you and you did it my friend. Thank you!
Great guide! My Cuora and Ethan are both E1 only, lost control of left tower more than once and tank died as well. Managed to put tank back in place. Got 399/400 on first try. Thank you. (my ST Caster is M1, everyone else M0 or lower )
Went in blind and got 394 kills first time. Managed 400 on next attempt, safe for autos. Felt pretty good, then realised my comp was 9x6*s, 8 with M3 plus Myrtle, Warfarin and Sussuro. Here to see it get done properly.
Vis a Vis Cuora, I had an E1L60 one that I swapped into during the downtime before the wave that it's recommended that you activate the skill for. She managed to hold on pretty well, but still got hit by 2 corrosion bursts. I suspect that the corrosion damage that she would have picked up by being active for the whole stage is what made the last bit a little sketchy in the video. Matterhorn might be a better pick since his HP based mitigation won't be affected by the corrosion damage's def down. My E1L30 Matterhorn has 2.5k hp, so he gains 1k hp worth of mitigation off of his skill. His S1 has a similar cycle time as Cuora, so the timing should be good. The fact that there are 3 medics dedicated to healing him, and that you're dealing with large single hits of damage means that as long as your operator survives the hit, they'll be able to heal back to full pretty quickly.
found out that flametail can "wall" the golems. i had one almost leak at the end so i quickly put down a pad and let her stand at the top tile above the base. her dodge's managed to allowed me stall it out and win. i originally brought her just cuz trust farming and well to fill in a slot managed to come in very clutch.
Looks like you could swap Gavial with Honeyberry or Mulberry and mitigate the Elemental damage on Cuora et al. Add: leaked 1 golem, going to try swapping Kroos with Suzuran S2M1 since she multi-targets and does Arts + Slow + Fragile. Add2: Suzu S2M1 works amazing as the ST Sniper swap-in, she makes the golems an easy kill.
If you are replacing Thorns with Blaze, the motorboats will not always be caught by Cuora. It depends on how many she is blocking. If she can block it, then the boats may kill your caster. That was an issue I ran into because of the narrower attack window of Blaze. EDIT: Fixed by suggestion to swapping Ifrit where Gavial is. And DPS machine should work.
just pulled thorns a few days back, will probably have him at e2 by tomorrow. lets hope for a reliable autodeploy of this if i can manage to clear it with my own thorns eventually
I used Blaze instead of Thorns (proud thornless gang) and change gavial for ifrit (both are m3 dunno if it works with just skill 7)i also used specter (or any good guard with auto heal) instead of gummy so lancet can heal the defender and changed Click with a aoe caster to reduce the pressure (if you have Dusk you can use her second skill lvl 7)
"depending on the dps, the winter wisp may die and explode next to the tower, its fine just don't do it too often" Me when I cleared mine: Everyday is a panic day for taking control to the tower (altho I have Waii fu it became my mistake not putting him on the win) But still luckily I won on my first try TOP LANE IS IFRIT LANE!
@@gigaslave same I also used Suzuran S2m2 and those wisps die always in front of the tower and keeps on making me panic coz the tower, suzuran and ifrit are my only dps up top 😣
@@gigaslave yep but suzu is too strong that she can kill the wisps on time before they could move and she didn't let a single guy left that place w/o dying within her range and that makes me extremely panicked all the time keeping the control on the towers...I can't blame her becoz she's too cute to scold 😇
been a while since i played this game. i put in texas as my 12th character and put her on gummy's place and later swapped her for gummy. used frostleaf instead of thorns since i don't have him and nian instead of cuora since i can't get her for free anymore
I know I'm not great at the game, but this guide is kinda hard to follow for me since Mizuki S1 L4 (not E1), along with Ash (S1 or S2) seemed to kill the guys who blow up too soon, or due to a another mistake one made it past Nian and killed all 3 medics at once, Kinda seems like this requires a sweet spot for dps, too high and ethan, Kiara, manticore, or mizuki can die, lose the tower constantly, or 1 winterwisp I think is their name can leak and kill all 3 medics Either way though thank you for the guide I got to work with some improvising, when I have questions about Arknights clears, or strategies your channel is the first place I check
@@Eckogen I appreciate the advice, I was just using what I had enough extra's of (was lv1, skill level 1 before) before investing much further on mizuki since those types of units don't seem to get used often, however gotta say if 200% and 2 times was almost killing every winterwisp early E1 skill level 7's 230% and 2.3 times would I think have killed almost every winterwisp early with Ash, unless I maybe did skill 2 and just never touched it (wasn't sure if kroos skill extra damage was important) so I switched to S1 (11% and every attack hits 2 times on ash) if nothing changed Ash's target they would kill a Dockworker leader, on top of mizuki basically, so it was definitely an issue of too much dps (usually resulting in wisps) hurting mizuki or taking the tower , like you say at 9:42 roughly it is fine just don't do it too often, for me it was "too often" with Mizuki and Ash S1, since I could be wrong but I don't E1 lv80 would let Mizuki live 2 exploding wisps close together
@@lightsword6832 I would use Ash on S2. That should stop the killing Winterwisp too often problem. Time her skill on the guys who are trying to steal the tower.
This one must be dummy proof for me to get it first time, that or the game gods were just being kind to me. Lost the 1st Gramaphone once to one of those Winterwisps exploding next to it but there are probably bad times and worse times for that to happen, seems like it was just a bad time for me. Thanks!
Unfortunately I only made it to 325 with this setup 😭😭 maybe because I used Shining and Amiya instead of Susu and Click? Idk... it was a bloodbath after 300 xD Edit: also I only have Gaviar and Thorns in E2...
@@Eckogen Oh I didn't mean I want to use SA. I just meant in early global Arknights days that SA used to be what Thorns is now, the go to operator for every team. My thing is with this game and other gacha games, I always try to do an all female team, cause I play them as a waifu collector games. So, I have no Thorns and my SA is only level 1, and the only reason I have him is cause I got him through recruit. lol So yeah, I have been going through videos to try and figure out a strategy that works for me. It just really sucks that there's no practice mode for Annihilation.
@@Eckogen Nice. I definitely can make that one work, since I got a lvl 90 S3M3 Chen Alter. But I'll wait until next week to do that, cause I already got my limit for this week.
Operator Replacement Suggestions (ORS):
Click: Any ST Caster.
Fang: Any Vanguard.
Kroos: Any ST Sniper.
Lancet: Best Tower sitter.
Thorns: S3 M3. Blaze S2 M3.
Gummy: Any Healing Defender.
Gavial/Sussurro: Any ST Medic.
Cuora: Any E2+ Defender (high HP + DEF).
Ethan: S2 L7. E1 preferred. Kiara S1/Manticore S1/Mizuki S1.
Perfumer: Any AOE Medic. Honeyberry/Mulberry ideal. E2 not required.
Will SA be able to replace Thorns with Saria or apple sauce support for sp gen?
@@Znwarp Will need good timing. Having Honeyberry or Mulberry will help stall.
i dont have any specialist like ethan upgraded and has no lmd, who can i replace him with?
@@Shimon24 That's hard to answer considering Ethan is one of the few operators with 0 block. Similar operators like him are Manticore and Kiara, but your best bet would to instead use a summon somehow... idk really though
is there any replacement for thorns except for blaze at this point? i dont have both thorns or blaze for now

With Ifrit there, swap Sussuro with Mulberry or Honeyberry, that'd prevent Cuora from being eroded to 0 DEF by the tidal casters.

I have a Chalter guide as well.
Could you do a thornless strats i want to do weekly on this map
you know what make me more sad?
there are no guidemakers making this annihilation guide with no thorns in it.
being in thornsless gang is just pain

Already done. I have one with Chalter.
