IS3 is probably the hardest simply because of how much the RNG can fuck you over. "Oh you're having a promising run? FUCK YOU, Here's a Metastatic Aberration to all your main DPS units. Have fun killing or surviving anything with -50% stats lmao. It's the main reason why I like IS4 so much. While there are still debufs you can get, it's pretty easy to get rid of them as long as you manage your runes properly, and even if you don't, they are still pretty manageable, unless you play really badly and end up with all of them at once. And even then, it's still more manageable then Metastatic Aberration. Also, if you play on higher difficulties (like I do) IS3 makes the 3* Ops cost more hope, so you often find yourself with squad full of the shitty reserve Ops. Where as in IS4 the +1 hope only applies to 4* and higher.
@javierrivera5834 they are close in difficulty, so in the end it becomes very dependent on what units you have. Because even with the new boss in is5, if you have someone like qiubai, then the boss is not that hard. But overall i do believe is5 becomes easier if you have specific units, moreso than is2. But i f you don't have those hyper specialized units, is5 will in the end be harder.
@@bloodred255 until she got the disorder then where she froze. The mechanic of IS3 are absoultely hell like where IS4, IS5 doesnt hamstring us. Not to mention the nervous impairment is the most dangerous damage type we ever have, because it deal TRUE DMG and give STUN frequently. The only thing you can do is pray for healer to outheal the elemental DMG or healing in general, because no DEF or RES gonna save you. Crusher will last a bit longer, that still doesnt solve the stun problem either. Every operators usefulness need us to click on them, but what happen when we cant click them in time just because of a long stun? Game over
same. i started with IS4, and got some clears, up to difficulty 9. I just couldn't clear the alternative last boss. just never figured it out. IS3 was a bit harder, overall, but the last knight fight was an easier alternative boss, imo. IS2 is a coinflip for me, at this point. i just can't figure out a consistent way, to clear it
The person that suggested IS3 is the easiest among the others must have not experienced the pain of rolling 1s in wish fulfilled boxes and getting a rejection on your must buffed operator
Tip: Using the "dice" you have in stages spends one of your dice to reduce enemy movement speed. It's usually only for emergency situations. Ideally, you want to save your dice to use in other ways, like rerolling bad rolls.
It's hard to say right or wrong choice because I don't see your full operator pool, sniper other than Wiš'adel, Kroos the Keen Glint is also good she stuns airborne enemy so they drops.
we have a fear mechanic in arknights soon: nymph and lappland alter can do it what nightmare has is a DoT that scales based on the distance the enemies move useless when they're blocked and bad synergy with the slow she does
"IS3 is the easiest IS" is a common joke made by people who only use Texas and think that everyone else does. IS2 is easiest; IS3 requires a lot of block
Probably talking about Texas alter from the specialist class specifically her 3rd skill one she can deal decent bursts DMG,two can dmg flying enemy,three stun,fourth her talent when she kill enemy for the first time it reactivate her skill and fifth(hypothetical)there is also relic that give 100+ aspd to specific sub class and Texas is one of them skill 1 and 2 are decent for starting point
@@miyamotomusashi805 by block i mean early stages. IS4 also requires block, but IS3 can easily kill someone with just 2 block (like we've seen here) my IS2 usual setip is vigna+jaye, and i can get with only these melee the first two floors. If i try this here - it would be quick gg
Well I found IS 3 to be a bit easier than IS 2, largely felt that it was a bit more generous on the Hope than IS 2 and the People-oriented squad was really nice making a bit easier to get units I wanted. I ended up beating IS 3 first even though I started IS 2 earlier. (IS 3 was wrapping up globally when I started doing Integrated strategies -about 3 months after I started playing). The biggest pain in IS 3 was the environmental effects, having your best operators get made near useless due to a RNG role was a pain.
Personally, I find IS 4 the hardest, then followed by IS 3 (but IS 3 annoyed me the most lmao), then IS 2 (Maybe I'm just used to IS 2 already so that's why I felt that way)
In my opinion, yes is3 is the easiest. Its mainly a bunch of hoards stages and the early stages can be chezzed with either lapluma or highmore. Before Wis, my plan was to get lapluma support to breeze through the early stages the get as many buffs as i can with mind over matter then for the boss, i wont say anything but remember to bring stunners like texas
I know what you're talking about. The relic combinations they had for the final boss was pretty specific, plus the skill tree being maxed out (for Survivor's Contract). You need Wis'adel S3 to one shot the jellies and that takes an obscene amount of stacked ATK buffs. They certainly weren't soloing the entire run that way. It was a gimmick win on a gimmick boss.
"IS3 is the easiest IS" has the same energy as "Durian is a delicious fruit for real" Cause for some specific dokutah, IS 3 is indeed would be the easiest among all IS while for the remaining ones IS 3 is either mid or the most nightmarish and gacha-ish IS of them all 😂
Quirk, you are free to use Wis'adel in ISs, because their stages are different than the usual. As long as your relics are bad, having Wis'adel won't guarantee your winnings 😂
❤ Ngl, kinda wanna see him do under tides or stultifera navis first before IS3, mainly cuz I wanna him react to the EGG and maybe get the seaborn ptsd dokutahs went through but meh, nothing important
easy they said...
Follow me in twitch:
Twitch.tv/quirkvt
it is the easiest. period. ( you just need to be familiar with the enemies and map situations which means TRY AGAIN and again 😂)
The lore of the ISs are meant to provide more details about the world view and alternate histories.
Tips:don't shortcut on leveling in any IS just to get reward op is precious unless ur a whaler😌😌

Most players have agreed that is3 is hardest followed by is4, then is5, then is2
Isn't IS5 easier than IS2?

if you have all the upgrades, texas mostly solos with mind over matter squad.

Honestly is3 is the easiest but in is3 the rng is the most harsh
Easiest here means IS 3 with Wis'âdel E2 90 max skill 3 (and 1) and Logos E2 90 at max skill 1 and 3.
That's just everything
Personally, I think IS4 is the easiest one. For the first ending at least. IS2 is the hardest. While IS3 is in the middle.

Nah they upgraded their die to 20 and always roll 20 :D

Lmao wut IS3 is the most bullshit of them all
It depends, low difficult is3 is the easiest, well it's probably the hardest when doing difficult 15
Caught caught emergency out of control caught caught

IS2 is easiest; IS3 requires a lot of block
What makes Texas so good for IS3 specifically?
Probably talking about Texas alter from the specialist class specifically her 3rd skill one she can deal decent bursts DMG,two can dmg flying enemy,three stun,fourth her talent when she kill enemy for the first time it reactivate her skill and fifth(hypothetical)there is also relic that give 100+ aspd to specific sub class and Texas is one of them skill 1 and 2 are decent for starting point
IS4 is the one that requires lot of block. In IS3, stun is your most valuable asset. Kroos alter FTW.

Losing because you didnt select the right skill in IS is a very sad event as always

All IS have their way to be completed. And these ways are different, and thats not easy to get used to all of them

This is the easiest IS if you have texas alter, cuz texas alter literally counter 90% stage gimmick on this IS
gets e2 thorns start, forgets to set s3 and loses. yup.
start by borrowing texas the omertosa.
When I cleaned IS3 I don't even have E2 5/6 stars operators
I only have one E2 4star

Doesn't Wis'adel solo clears IS3 with Mind Over Matter Squad? I swear I saw a video about it.

Cause for some specific dokutah, IS 3 is indeed would be the easiest among all IS while for the remaining ones IS 3 is either mid or the most nightmarish and gacha-ish IS of them all 😂
I say IS3 had the easiest main final boss out of them all, but the alternative boss is hard asf tho
Newer IS is always easier, so IS4 is the easiest currently because the mechanics aren't as punishing and you can get buff relics more frequently.
The fact that they force you to play at diff 12 makes it worse then the first 2, it's so hard
Quirk, you are free to use Wis'adel in ISs, because their stages are different than the usual. As long as your relics are bad, having Wis'adel won't guarantee your winnings 😂
Thorns is not a good starter here. I would recommend you borrow Texalter or Kroos alter for starter.
To be Honest, Thorns being starter on IS#3 was the mistake.
❤
Ngl, kinda wanna see him do under tides or stultifera navis first before IS3, mainly cuz I wanna him react to the EGG and maybe get the seaborn ptsd dokutahs went through but meh, nothing important
Why use dice it a waste it better to use it on non combat nod
bro is3 just unfun
Disagree. I’ve found every IS on global to be fun so far.
IS 4 is hell
Use Texas alter is my recommendation
