All operators are skill level 7 with at least 100% trust (Platinum was skill 5). Shaw/Gitano will need to be E1, using skill 2 at level 7. Any 3/4 star operators should be max level with max potential/trust, or they may not survive. You can replace Shiryuki with Catapult or Meteorite. Lappland can be replaced with Steward or Mousse. Saria can be replaced with the Beagle/Cuora or Nearl (healer defender not required, but helps keep your team alive). Exuisai and Platnium can be replaced with Kroos, Meteor, Jessica, Blue Poison, or Adnachiel. Having 1 AOE medic will help, but not required.
I would also note that all operators should be at least e1 max level just for survivability, especially the healers and snipers. If they aren't, they'll either get burst down by the arts drones and turrets, or won't be healed enough to live. 5-6* operators can get away with being ~e1 60 at the lowest, but the higher the better.
@@haiffy according to fantasee (another youtuber), kroos doesnt have enough hp to be placed at the bottom lane since she's a 3*, jessica would be a better choice or meteor if you have her
@@itsRevy well you need e1 max operators so meteor must be at least lv60 to survive. As to where to put ifrit put her in the first tile of the bottom lane(in this vid,the ranged tile next to Cuora) facing towards the top lane. She will cover all tiles till platinum and burn those armored units. Medium rare if you haven't levelled her and perfect well done(way I prefer) if you have her e2 with lv7 skill.
That was the most confusing explanation of where to put Ifrit I could possibly imagine. I feel like Imprisma may be playing with his phone/computer upside-down. Top right, facing down, but bare in mind you have to rearrange your healing situation in that case. (I used Silence where Shira was here, facing up, but without Saria I think it would probably need to be an AOE healer there. I also used "Apple Pie" where Platinum was, though I imagine any AOE sniper or Platinum could do maybe better.)

I found an improvement that you could use to fix a problem I saw in your video: You retreated Platinum too early. You should keep her around long enough to kill 2 drones *_then_* swap her out for Gitano. Then you should keep Gitano around long enough to activate her skill and she _should_ be able to kill the 3 Crushers on the bottom part of the map. Why is this important? Because at 14:49 Saria gets stunned and a Crusher gets through. Which means that if someone were to follow this strategy the same as yours it may not work depending on some RNG and minor stat differences. Also, I don't think it's really necessary to bring back Platinum? If you keep her around longer she should be able to do a decent amount of damage to the Elite Crusher so that when he starts moving, he will be less a threat.
That Crusher getting through doesn't really matter because he gets stuck at the very back of Lappland's square. If you watch one of Kyo's guides (can't remember which) that Crusher gets stuck there because he's in the center of two squares. Knock down Saria, get stuck on Lappland. Knock down Lappland, Saria's back up again. rinse and repeat. It IS better to kill him sooner rather than later, but to let him loop for a bit isn't really a problem.
I find it really interesting that a few of the tough parts that other guides were precautious about, e.g. 190 and 240, you just AFK'ed through (well you pretty much just AFK'ed through most of everything). Just goes to show you that using the two 6 Stars, Exusiai and Saria made a lot of things easier.
I don't have the operator upgrades to fully clear this map by any means (they're all E1 Lv45-55, most skills are at 4, half of them don't have (m)any potential upgrades and trust is sorely lacking) but between this guide, an E1 Lv80 Exusiai support unit, and some frantic redeploying every few seconds after the 300 kill mark, I managed to get a 345 kill clear anyway and claim those sweet, sweet weekly cap increases. With a little more operator upgrading (or maybe even just more frantic redeployment), I'm sure I can get those last five kills for the next upgrade next time. Thank you so much for this guide, I would /not/ have been able to pull that off otherwise.

Same, I'm kinda on a timer because I want skyfire from the shop and have a lot of these guys. Their just not Max level/skill besides a few I use regularly. Bumbrush to gat angalina too E2 was a massive mistake on my part(not cuz she bad, just those recourses could have gone into 3 or 4 4* E2s).
This was by far the hardest beginner strategy i've done to clear this. The MOST COMMON problem I had was Platinum dying SOMETIME after 360-ish. When Plat dies, that square is CURSED because of the aggro system. Everything that you put on it WILL DIE eventually to a Caster + Ballista even with Perfumer proc. So, Here's the simple workaround: 1. Redeploy Gitano IN-BETWEEN Spec Ops Casters coming back to smack you so that you can get a bit of chip damage on anything for a while. Now the MOST IMPORTANT STEP. 2. Regardless of what happens to Gitano, take her out and redeploy Platinum immediately in the square BEHIND Perfumer. She will 1v1 a drone without her S2 up but SHE WILL LIVE. After this, she will have her S2 up for the rest of the fight and you'll be good. Some side-notes: My Perfumer was not max potential. Maybe that would've kept Plat alive and avoided all this. Also, i used Kroos instead of Exusiai, Gummy instead of Saria, and a lvl 59 Shining instead of Gavial (which i don't think mattered too much regardless. As long as Shirayuki doesn't decide to yeet out out of nowhere you're good.)
god i know it's two years later but i've been stuck on this forever with basically the exact team you mentioned, and this finally got me to 400. bless you from 2 years in the future/past.
@@Wren-cs3ty Good to hear! Looking back at this I noticed I was quite the Arknights geek when i wrote this lol. Sadly i've quit this game but it was easily one of the funnest experiences ever! Have fun!
I found another improvement in your video. After Gitano uses her skill, you retreat her and replace her with Platinum. 1. Instead of placing her at the same position, place her in the immediate tile behind Perfumer so she can deal with any Drones and/or leaks. 2. Since you are retreating FEater around that time anyways, you can still keep Gitano in the same position without problems but now you have Platinum *AND* Gitano as DPS. 3. And since Cuora isn't doing anything either, you can retreat her and deploy someone else closer so that the Drone doesn't target Shirayuki to make it more consistent.
many thanks for this guide :)) don't have that many 6 stars so this was great. Tip for myself and others: After deploying everyone, you can chill until 11:00 in the video, or 300 kills.
Love your guides! I've gotten to 5-3 by following your strategies, only stopped progressing to take some time to farm mats to upgrade my operators. Don't have some of these operators, looking forward to the upcoming variations!
Exusiai really carries hard here, she has around 2k effective DPS when you activate her skill here, which is way beyond what any other anti-air sniper can offer at max level E1. Replacing her with another sniper almost always leads to enemies leaking in my experience, even if the rest of your squad is higher level (e.g. E2 Meteorite)
I did my first full clear of Anni 3 using this guide (with a few small tweaks for my lineup) back in July, though I had to borrow Lappland to do it so I couldn't auto. After I eventually got Lappers myself, I tried to set it up for auto clear a handful of times but I never really took the time to do it properly, so I still couldn't get it done properly and I just farmed Anni 2 for almost six months instead. Now, my team is beefy af, with Myrtle S1M3, Astesia S2M3 up in the top lane who never needs replacing, and now W S3R7, soon to be M3 as well, as the cherry on top (with apologies to Shirayuki, who I promoted to E2 in no small part specifically for Anni 3, but blowing up Bombtails and Defense Crushers with psycho murderwaifu's Crazy Ivan sticky bombs is just too much fun), so I finally took the time to set it up for farming, using this same strategy as a base, and it works _beautifully_. What I'm trying to say is, thank you based Eckogen-senpai for helping my poor dumb whale ass get the most out of the waifus I simped so hard for without having to bash my head against the wall trying to puzzle out this twenty-minute-long hellstage myself. Much love and appreciation.
I was finally able to complete this today I changed some units since I didn't have/or had not built them yet. But this helped tremendously since I kept getting stuck around the 370 mark. thanks so much!! Ceobe was my mvp on this map
For who with E2 shirayuki he will attack the middle defense crusher and let 2 top defense crusher survive. You need to active her s2 again when second defense crusher move to kill it or it gonna stun top defender
Thanks for this guide. I had been struggling around 370 kills with a different setup; took a few tries since I missed some skill activations/op retreating, but managed to do it in the end (at one point only two arts master drones snuck past lol). Lapp, Shira, Platinum, and Gitano were the mvps.
I still have trouble beating this one. but one thing of advice for people who cant get the aoe sniper to survive the bomb drone. Retreat the vanguard as soon as the bomb drones show up. the mid defender will be able to block everything that rushes in. by the time the next bomb drone shows up, place your vanguard down infront of the drone to tank the bomb hit. retreat and spawn in lappland(or who you replace the vanguard with). This is the only way i could get shiryuki/meteorite to survive the bomb blast. everytime the bomb would hit it'd always kill them for me and they are max E1. They just dont have enough to survive the damage(or its just really bad luck for me) - This slight change for me where my team would always fall apart around 361 kills. I managed to get to 385 with the trick. So it is a massive difference.
Btw I decided to E2 Platinum and made her my main sniper, I also finished M3-ing her earlier and she was totally worth it. Her long range finished otherwise unreachable mobs before they could move, she reach 1000+ atk on M3 which means she actually do damage to high armor enemies unlike Apple Pie, fun fact : her talent enables her to kill Frost Drone easily. Most people say Blue Poison is stronger, but imo she needs a slower to truly maximize her DOT output whereas Platinum could shine independently.
I don't know if you still play the game or no but blue poison has soooo low hp that sometimes using her at certain spots make me frustrated. So even if platinum has slightly lower attack than Blue poison,the hp,def,res and range makes up for it I guess.
@@zenmode3125 Yeah E2 level 20 BP has 1045 hp where E2 20 platinum has like 1400. So at certain situations,BP gets one shotted by the laser shooting drone/originium caster/flying red birds in undertide. But still,froggo best waifu,you won't regret e2ing her,she still has wayy higher attack than platinum.
So, Fang, Gitano, Cuora, Midnight and Lapland can all be replaced by generic units. You just need a DP generator, a Defender, and 2 arts damage units. Exusai and Saria are so good it'd be hard to swap them out.
Platinum is the only single-target sniper that works here. The extra range and damage is *crucial" for dealing with the Arts drone, otherwise you need to have them at extremely high level to take it down in time. It would be possible to use an E2 AOE sniper instead, (maybe E1 max Meteorite but E1 max Catapult doesn't have the damage output needed, and Shirayuki is sort of needed up top for the extra Arts damage) the deployment order is the same even with the extra cost.
I'm glad I raised some high star ops while waiting for this guide. I also attempted this mission few times but I still need to learn the game a bit, I managed to get 198 kills in first run but later attempts ended quicker :P Funny enough the only operator from your team setup I don't have ready is Midnight. It's like Girls Frontline all over again, I'm force-raising high end ops intead of doing low>medium>high like I should :D
@@modothegreat108 I know, that's how I beat it. Ash was my second high star (meaning higher than 4*) operator just after Siege. While Siege is at E1Lvl1, Ash is E2Lvl1 :D
Sadly Platinum can't actually be replaced if you're following the guide exactly. Only she has the range to keep the drones in the 230-250~ kills time slot from slipping by. You can of course compensate by activating Exu's skill when two drones advance at the same time, since the drones weave up and down, but Meteor just can't handle them on her own. Later on, around the 320~ kills mark, 4-star snipers will also be killed by the big arts drone, long before you should be switching them out with Gitano, who can't kill them.
finally got it, thanks for the guide! although i used an op support which was lv90 W, and instead of releasing Platinum to kill the big guy at the end I just had Midnight to assist with that
Ouch. I see. I still didn't try the level, I'm leveling up my units first. I think I'll try inverting Exusiai and Blue Poison positions. Also, considering I have Shining, should I replace Perfumer or Gavial?
10:53, this is what has been throwing off my run, that damn drone almost one shots my Shirayuki and the turret finishes her off before my medics can heal her, how do i prevent that? I've even tired to use Silence instead of Gavial with no luck. I use the same ops except I use Gummy (s1) instead of Saria and Mousse (s2) instead of Lapland. Mousse is only like 38% trust, but I have an E2 Perfumer, and Shirayuki is at like 98%, everyone else is 100% or more...
A small info: You can replace Gudao with Lava the Purgatory using her first skill, it do even better work than Gudao S2 and you will get it a bit faster since Lava passive.
Love your videos man. All these other guides with their S3 units to do this stage made me sweat from the eyes Edit: Also, could Midnight be replaced by SilverAsh?
I finally beat it! Had to swap Platinum to Eyja which led to not having to swap for Gitano. A few other changes but I did it. Hopefully auto goes right.
me: *tries this without gitano* Me: *gets absolutely fucking wrecked.* Me: Okay shit leveling her up is gonna be a bitch. Me: *realizes I got like 500 records from my near clear* Me: Okay nevermind, gitano is e1 lvl 60!
It's funny that Lappland survived from Defense Crusher because she's an E1. If she's E2, she wouldve died cuz her silence will prevent her from being stunned and actually die from the next attack
Thank you! This helped tons. I really really wish I had an apple pie(I love you call her that lol) but I don't, so that's super annoying but I found my Silver Ash works great with Eyjafjalla (another name that kicks my @ss) also I love my Myrtle. I dropped her first to generate points and she holds her own! Especially next to Saria. Now both Saria and Myrtle are E2 so I'm sure that helps. My team, in case that helps anyone else that's missing some useful operators like Apple pie) Silence, Nightingale, Eyjafjalla, Shirayuki, Myrtle, Shaw, Hoshiguma, Lapland, Silver Ash, Skyfire and Platinum. Without Apple Pie it's tricky getting all of the drones, I seem to miss one lol. I'm hoping to fix that this attempt or if nothing else try my maxed Kross in the Apple Pie slot. Good luck everyone!
I used a full team of E2 operators (including an Ifrit with E2 and maxed Pyroclasm) and I still BARELY managed to survive it, considering I had to throw cannon fodder at the enemy to stall/ensure critical operators do not die. All it takes is ONE small mistake and your 400 kill run is over.
Huh.. This is certainly helpful. Now i just need to level them all up since i practically have all the operators required, just that they're still weak
> low stars all stars > team includes Platinum, Saria, Lappland, and Exusiai BRUH Look man, I love the work you and KyoStinV put into these guides, and they've gotten me through every level I've seen thus far, but WTF is up with that? If the this stage is impossible to beat without 5* and 6* operators, then please just say that instead of treating this like it's one of your low-rarity guides.
Got to 340 with this comp. Just below the weekly upgrade but I don't mind that much. Ran into some problems on the topside with Yucky. I didn't have an aoe healing defender and my Gav is a little underlevelled too but the strat works!
btw for those who are gonna try to do this make sure to have lappland Because here silence is CRUCIAL against those crushers because as you saw example right here 16:20 if it were not for her silence saria would get stunned and the crusher will get through because i did this in replace of silver ash and oh boi did i get annihilated and those elite casters DESTROYED my silver ash , platinum and shaw so im gonna attempt to do this again with better units everything went wrong at like wave 370 my silverash got annihilated he wasnt able to do enough damage to kill the crushers my nearl got bonked and it all went downhill haha
I'm going to try replacing Midnight with Lappland and put Astesia in the lower middle lane. Putting Astesia in the top lane didn't work too well though I might have still lost, even disregarding that.
For this to work you need Exiusai in the back after Shirayuki, otherwise at around 200 you miss a drone, can't kill it fast enough. I've tried with Kroos and Jessica fully maxed, they can't dps fast enough.
I tried this strategy and i got to 350 with some changes Apple pie to graythroath Platinum for meteor but she almost dies with the arrows saria for nearl tried catapult but she does not survive long enough when the arrows appear Mousse and frostleaf for lapland and midnight as i dont have any of those nor i have SA I also tried changing gitano with leizi and she does well with her trait and talents using S2 (also her slow as short as it is helps a lot) I now will farm some more and get everyone to E1 max and try again with the same team, unless i got someone better for it like LP or apple pie
Hello eckogen, can I replace gitano with eyjafjalla instead? Thank you very much for spending your sanity to create this guide to us all, much appreciated
Eyja can kill/heavily damage multiple with her S2. The range is more of an issue. She has one extra tile over Gitano unproc'd, but her S3 expands sideways, not frontally. Her S2 might be an option in the way Eckogen uses Gitano here. Or her S3 might simply have enough DPS not to care.
You can put eyja there on s3 to charge it, she'll kill one of the defence crushers, when the other one starts moving, you can proc her skill and kill that one
How I beat Annihilation 1: Set up a wall for Ifrit to toast everything. How I beat Annihilation 2: Create a long defender setup to abuse Ifrits range. How I beat Annihilation 3: Place strong tanky ops in such a way as to allow Ifrit to hit as many enemies as possible at one time.
Question, Could E2 Mostima with her S3 be a substitute for Gitano? Key of Chronology increases range just like Gitano's, and the attack increase is a larger percent.. They also have a similar amount of charge time required, and Mostima's doesn't have the 13 second downtime afterward. Any response would be appreciated. :) I'm in the process of leveling up Platinum to go on the team atm so it'll be a few days before I attempt it.
holy shit, i was like "lol why i was always so worried about this? this stage is easy..." then BP (where platinum is) got one shot by the arts drone and the squad demolished
@@Eckogen Just realized it after posting, it was my mistake on the deployment order that got her killed and maybe bad rng, tried it again and gave her like 10 extra levels, 100% it. Thank you for responding! Your guides are amazing
This was great. I need to rethink on what I did wrong though as Platinum died at a moment she shouldn't, and Shaw followed not long after lol I used Ptilopsis instead of Perfurmer, maybe that was the problem?
Great video dude! But I'm stuck because on bottom lane my blue poison cannot resist that drone's damage she dies and ruins all my formation :( although I have 6 e2 op still can't clear anni 3 so I suck XD And I can't invest on my bp rn cuz need e2 my Ange for CC, and either I wanna upgrade Jessica (I saw she's perfect on bottom lane) so I guess I'll be stucked until my bp reach e2 and her hp becomes enough to resist dron's dmg, gg.
All operators are skill level 7 with at least 100% trust (Platinum was skill 5). Shaw/Gitano will need to be E1, using skill 2 at level 7.
Any 3/4 star operators should be max level with max potential/trust, or they may not survive.
You can replace Shiryuki with Catapult or Meteorite. Lappland can be replaced with Steward or Mousse. Saria can be replaced with the Beagle/Cuora or Nearl (healer defender not required, but helps keep your team alive). Exuisai and Platnium can be replaced with Kroos, Meteor, Jessica, Blue Poison, or Adnachiel. Having 1 AOE medic will help, but not required.

If they aren't, they'll either get burst down by the arts drones and turrets, or won't be healed enough to live. 5-6* operators can get away with being ~e1 60 at the lowest, but the higher the better.

2. Since you are retreating FEater around that time anyways, you can still keep Gitano in the same position without problems but now you have Platinum *AND* Gitano as DPS.
3. And since Cuora isn't doing anything either, you can retreat her and deploy someone else closer so that the Drone doesn't target Shirayuki to make it more consistent.
Thanks for the tips.
many thanks for this guide :)) don't have that many 6 stars so this was great. Tip for myself and others: After deploying everyone, you can chill until 11:00 in the video, or 300 kills.
"Defender Healer not required but it help" like a lot
Love your guides! I've gotten to 5-3 by following your strategies, only stopped progressing to take some time to farm mats to upgrade my operators. Don't have some of these operators, looking forward to the upcoming variations!
Exusiai really carries hard here, she has around 2k effective DPS when you activate her skill here, which is way beyond what any other anti-air sniper can offer at max level E1. Replacing her with another sniper almost always leads to enemies leaking in my experience, even if the rest of your squad is higher level (e.g. E2 Meteorite)
It's definitely do'able without Exusiai. There's a clear with just 3 star operators (with a crap ton of micro management).
after weeks getting stuck with 398 or 399/400 i finally finished anni 3 with your skill timings ;3;
love your content eckogen c:
oooh, no Elite 2, that's handy.
thank you, you're the best.
I’m just watching this to see the enemy pattern and composition.
I dislike using others patterns but seeing what you and other youtubers do helps
I did my first full clear of Anni 3 using this guide (with a few small tweaks for my lineup) back in July, though I had to borrow Lappland to do it so I couldn't auto. After I eventually got Lappers myself, I tried to set it up for auto clear a handful of times but I never really took the time to do it properly, so I still couldn't get it done properly and I just farmed Anni 2 for almost six months instead. Now, my team is beefy af, with Myrtle S1M3, Astesia S2M3 up in the top lane who never needs replacing, and now W S3R7, soon to be M3 as well, as the cherry on top (with apologies to Shirayuki, who I promoted to E2 in no small part specifically for Anni 3, but blowing up Bombtails and Defense Crushers with psycho murderwaifu's Crazy Ivan sticky bombs is just too much fun), so I finally took the time to set it up for farming, using this same strategy as a base, and it works _beautifully_.
What I'm trying to say is, thank you based Eckogen-senpai for helping my poor dumb whale ass get the most out of the waifus I simped so hard for without having to bash my head against the wall trying to puzzle out this twenty-minute-long hellstage myself. Much love and appreciation.
Freaking out at the end as that final drone nearly slips past midnight.
just wanted to leave a comment to show my appreciation for this guide! it's incredibly reliable and has become my absolute annihilation 3 standard.
> level 69 platinum.
Nice.
nice

Nice.
I think I will need upgrade my operators now XD
thanks for your guide. It's really a big help
Man it's been so old- I mean long XD
Never see guide back in the day except lung men annihilation, those bonker really hits hard
I was finally able to complete this today I changed some units since I didn't have/or had not built them yet. But this helped tremendously since I kept getting stuck around the 370 mark. thanks so much!! Ceobe was my mvp on this map
For who with E2 shirayuki he will attack the middle defense crusher and let 2 top defense crusher survive.
You need to active her s2 again when second defense crusher move to kill it or it gonna stun top defender
Thanks for this guide. I had been struggling around 370 kills with a different setup; took a few tries since I missed some skill activations/op retreating, but managed to do it in the end (at one point only two arts master drones snuck past lol). Lapp, Shira, Platinum, and Gitano were the mvps.
I still have trouble beating this one. but one thing of advice for people who cant get the aoe sniper to survive the bomb drone.
Retreat the vanguard as soon as the bomb drones show up. the mid defender will be able to block everything that rushes in. by the time the next bomb drone shows up, place your vanguard down infront of the drone to tank the bomb hit. retreat and spawn in lappland(or who you replace the vanguard with). This is the only way i could get shiryuki/meteorite to survive the bomb blast. everytime the bomb would hit it'd always kill them for me and they are max E1. They just dont have enough to survive the damage(or its just really bad luck for me) - This slight change for me where my team would always fall apart around 361 kills. I managed to get to 385 with the trick. So it is a massive difference.
Nice tip.
Thank you! I was having such a hard time making my ops work. With some (panicked) decisions I pushed through!
Good vid, looking forward to all the alternate versions of this.
Btw I decided to E2 Platinum and made her my main sniper, I also finished M3-ing her earlier and she was totally worth it.
Her long range finished otherwise unreachable mobs before they could move, she reach 1000+ atk on M3 which means she actually do damage to high armor enemies unlike Apple Pie, fun fact : her talent enables her to kill Frost Drone easily.
Most people say Blue Poison is stronger, but imo she needs a slower to truly maximize her DOT output whereas Platinum could shine independently.
Solution: M3 both of them
I don't know if you still play the game or no but blue poison has soooo low hp that sometimes using her at certain spots make me frustrated.
So even if platinum has slightly lower attack than Blue poison,the hp,def,res and range makes up for it I guess.
@@hailhydra9869 i wish I had read this before E2ing BP over Platinum today
@@zenmode3125 Yeah E2 level 20 BP has 1045 hp where E2 20 platinum has like 1400.
So at certain situations,BP gets one shotted by the laser shooting drone/originium caster/flying red birds in undertide.
But still,froggo best waifu,you won't regret e2ing her,she still has wayy higher attack than platinum.
Finally finished it. Thanks Eckogen. Now I can get 1700 a week. :D
Using your guide, I managed to reach 349 kills with my mixed rarity, E1 35-40 squad. Thanks for sharing.
I like that there is Jetpacker that instantly falls into a hole every time on the right side lower part of the screen
Thank you Ecko! Great guide!
So, Fang, Gitano, Cuora, Midnight and Lapland can all be replaced by generic units. You just need a DP generator, a Defender, and 2 arts damage units.
Exusai and Saria are so good it'd be hard to swap them out.
Platinum is the only single-target sniper that works here. The extra range and damage is *crucial" for dealing with the Arts drone, otherwise you need to have them at extremely high level to take it down in time.
It would be possible to use an E2 AOE sniper instead, (maybe E1 max Meteorite but E1 max Catapult doesn't have the damage output needed, and Shirayuki is sort of needed up top for the extra Arts damage) the deployment order is the same even with the extra cost.
Thx for the guide. Spent almost 200 energy trying to make it work with my units
It took me almost a year, but i've finally beaten annihilation 3 without support units :D This day marks an important milestone!
3:39 big oof for that bottom-most mob. xD
number 69 mob
Born to die
Amazing, I haven't even beaten anni 2 and this got me to 269 kills. Great stuff as always.
I'm glad I raised some high star ops while waiting for this guide. I also attempted this mission few times but I still need to learn the game a bit, I managed to get 198 kills in first run but later attempts ended quicker :P
Funny enough the only operator from your team setup I don't have ready is Midnight. It's like Girls Frontline all over again, I'm force-raising high end ops intead of doing low>medium>high like I should :D
It's okay if you don't level Midnight, SilverAsh e2 can replace him XD
@@modothegreat108 I know, that's how I beat it. Ash was my second high star (meaning higher than 4*) operator just after Siege. While Siege is at E1Lvl1, Ash is E2Lvl1 :D
Nice thank you, i will try this strategy after i get saria and platinum
You can use Nearl instead or forgo a healing defender and use Curora/Beagle in place. Kroos or Meteor can be used in place of Platinum.
@@Eckogen can you make another version with eyja and/or silverash? I got both e2 recently
@@Onlyfines Go to KyostinV
Thank you for the guide! I shall try this out then.
Sadly Platinum can't actually be replaced if you're following the guide exactly. Only she has the range to keep the drones in the 230-250~ kills time slot from slipping by. You can of course compensate by activating Exu's skill when two drones advance at the same time, since the drones weave up and down, but Meteor just can't handle them on her own.
Later on, around the 320~ kills mark, 4-star snipers will also be killed by the big arts drone, long before you should be switching them out with Gitano, who can't kill them.
that last freaking drone f'd up my best run holy jesus
F.
finally got it, thanks for the guide! although i used an op support which was lv90 W, and instead of releasing Platinum to kill the big guy at the end I just had Midnight to assist with that
Nice, I have everyone but Platinum. I'll give it a try later with my E2 Blue Poison. My only E2 so far. Thanks, man! :D
E2 Poison will wreck in that spot.
it was so hard, mine was E2 40 and still struggling need good healer. if u have Silence its a massive help to keep her alive.
Ouch. I see. I still didn't try the level, I'm leveling up my units first. I think I'll try inverting Exusiai and Blue Poison positions.
Also, considering I have Shining, should I replace Perfumer or Gavial?
@@joaol.deaquino2388 i don't know if you've done it or not,but defo Gavial. We just need that AoE healer or else you life will become much harder
Amazing guide. Thanks man!
Wow thank you sir, dis guide is very easy to use thank you very much
every 10 second fang shouting ngl that hurt my ear
10:53, this is what has been throwing off my run, that damn drone almost one shots my Shirayuki and the turret finishes her off before my medics can heal her, how do i prevent that? I've even tired to use Silence instead of Gavial with no luck.
I use the same ops except I use Gummy (s1) instead of Saria and Mousse (s2) instead of Lapland. Mousse is only like 38% trust, but I have an E2 Perfumer, and Shirayuki is at like 98%, everyone else is 100% or more...
If using Silence, time her S2 drone just before that happens or bait the drone with a Fast Re-Deploy.
Thanks a lot bro. Now i can buy permit for saileach, lesss go
A small info: You can replace Gudao with Lava the Purgatory using her first skill, it do even better work than Gudao S2 and you will get it a bit faster since Lava passive.
Love your videos man. All these other guides with their S3 units to do this stage made me sweat from the eyes
Edit: Also, could Midnight be replaced by SilverAsh?
Yes.
This guide, if it works, will give me enough distinctions, to buy Lappland and complete the holy trinity. Will update you after I attempt...
Im gonna try this n let's see what happen next XD
this is honestly pretty good
I finally beat it! Had to swap Platinum to Eyja which led to not having to swap for Gitano. A few other changes but I did it. Hopefully auto goes right.
17:13 huft, Midnight saved the day~
me: *tries this without gitano*
Me: *gets absolutely fucking wrecked.*
Me: Okay shit leveling her up is gonna be a bitch.
Me: *realizes I got like 500 records from my near clear*
Me: Okay nevermind, gitano is e1 lvl 60!
It's funny that Lappland survived from Defense Crusher because she's an E1. If she's E2, she wouldve died cuz her silence will prevent her from being stunned and actually die from the next attack
Thank you! This helped tons. I really really wish I had an apple pie(I love you call her that lol) but I don't, so that's super annoying but I found my Silver Ash works great with Eyjafjalla (another name that kicks my @ss) also I love my Myrtle. I dropped her first to generate points and she holds her own! Especially next to Saria. Now both Saria and Myrtle are E2 so I'm sure that helps.
My team, in case that helps anyone else that's missing some useful operators like Apple pie) Silence, Nightingale, Eyjafjalla, Shirayuki, Myrtle, Shaw, Hoshiguma, Lapland, Silver Ash, Skyfire and Platinum. Without Apple Pie it's tricky getting all of the drones, I seem to miss one lol. I'm hoping to fix that this attempt or if nothing else try my maxed Kross in the Apple Pie slot.
Good luck everyone!
I clear this video ! Thank you dude
16:44 actually you can put midnight behind lapland to make a proper rng (since he have 20% to increase atk)
I used a full team of E2 operators (including an Ifrit with E2 and maxed Pyroclasm) and I still BARELY managed to survive it, considering I had to throw cannon fodder at the enemy to stall/ensure critical operators do not die. All it takes is ONE small mistake and your 400 kill run is over.
Bro... i thought you cant finish this without silver ash which i dont have yet but woah
This have me hope, thank u
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! ;)
Huh.. This is certainly helpful. Now i just need to level them all up since i practically have all the operators required, just that they're still weak
Nice pulls! This strat depends on 4 ops I don't have.
> low stars all stars
> team includes Platinum, Saria, Lappland, and Exusiai
BRUH
Look man, I love the work you and KyoStinV put into these guides, and they've gotten me through every level I've seen thus far, but WTF is up with that? If the this stage is impossible to beat without 5* and 6* operators, then please just say that instead of treating this like it's one of your low-rarity guides.
Got to 340 with this comp. Just below the weekly upgrade but I don't mind that much. Ran into some problems on the topside with Yucky. I didn't have an aoe healing defender and my Gav is a little underlevelled too but the strat works!
You got this!
nice vid really helped me out
This is big brain Doktuh.
My operators are crying because they have a smolbrain Dok'ohno.
Remember kids, to pull this off you must at least own a Lappland or Silverash
btw for those who are gonna try to do this make sure to have lappland Because here silence is CRUCIAL against those crushers because as you saw example right here 16:20 if it were not for her silence saria would get stunned and the crusher will get through because i did this in replace of silver ash and oh boi did i get annihilated and those elite casters DESTROYED my silver ash , platinum and shaw so im gonna attempt to do this again with better units everything went wrong at like wave 370 my silverash got annihilated he wasnt able to do enough damage to kill the crushers my nearl got bonked and it all went downhill haha
I'm going to try replacing Midnight with Lappland and put Astesia in the lower middle lane. Putting Astesia in the top lane didn't work too well though I might have still lost, even disregarding that.
The thing that I miss to perfect clear annihilation 3 despite having higher rarity operators. It's the operator's trust. Thanks for reminder.
For this to work you need Exiusai in the back after Shirayuki, otherwise at around 200 you miss a drone, can't kill it fast enough. I've tried with Kroos and Jessica fully maxed, they can't dps fast enough.
Having a ranged guard paired with them will resolve this. For example, Midnight in top lane.
I tried this strategy and i got to 350 with some changes
Apple pie to graythroath
Platinum for meteor but she almost dies with the arrows
saria for nearl
tried catapult but she does not survive long enough when the arrows appear
Mousse and frostleaf for lapland and midnight as i dont have any of those nor i have SA
I also tried changing gitano with leizi and she does well with her trait and talents using S2 (also her slow as short as it is helps a lot)
I now will farm some more and get everyone to E1 max and try again with the same team, unless i got someone better for it like LP or apple pie
Hello eckogen, can I replace gitano with eyjafjalla instead?
Thank you very much for spending your sanity to create this guide to us all, much appreciated
Yes, you can.
No, Eyja's range isn't large enough. We use Gitano for the expanded range S2
eyja can only kill 1 , gitano can kill 2
Eyja can kill/heavily damage multiple with her S2. The range is more of an issue. She has one extra tile over Gitano unproc'd, but her S3 expands sideways, not frontally. Her S2 might be an option in the way Eckogen uses Gitano here. Or her S3 might simply have enough DPS not to care.
You can put eyja there on s3 to charge it, she'll kill one of the defence crushers, when the other one starts moving, you can proc her skill and kill that one
guess i'll start farming shop voucher, then.
didn't realize how important it is till now
also could you redo this again with Steward placed in there instead of Lappland. I want to see where should I put Steward.
I love The Match Song...
How I beat Annihilation 1:
Set up a wall for Ifrit to toast everything.
How I beat Annihilation 2:
Create a long defender setup to abuse Ifrits range.
How I beat Annihilation 3:
Place strong tanky ops in such a way as to allow Ifrit to hit as many enemies as possible at one time.
Question, Could E2 Mostima with her S3 be a substitute for Gitano? Key of Chronology increases range just like Gitano's, and the attack increase is a larger percent.. They also have a similar amount of charge time required, and Mostima's doesn't have the 13 second downtime afterward.
Any response would be appreciated. :) I'm in the process of leveling up Platinum to go on the team atm so it'll be a few days before I attempt it.
holy shit, i was like "lol why i was always so worried about this? this stage is easy..."
then BP (where platinum is) got one shot by the arts drone and the squad demolished
How was your deployment order? And is your Plat maxed?
@@Eckogen Just realized it after posting, it was my mistake on the deployment order that got her killed and maybe bad rng, tried it again and gave her like 10 extra levels, 100% it.
Thank you for responding! Your guides are amazing
W can replace Shirayuki, although having W is like a cheat (with the correct setup). You forgot GreyThroat as an alternative to Platinum.
Greythroat didn't exist at the time of this guide. :o
This was great. I need to rethink on what I did wrong though as Platinum died at a moment she shouldn't, and Shaw followed not long after lol I used Ptilopsis instead of Perfurmer, maybe that was the problem?
Could be just timing. Hit by Drone and bolt.
@@Eckogen Most likely x.x I tried it again but same happened. I'll check on perfurmer and Platinum skills.
Great video dude!
But I'm stuck because on bottom lane my blue poison cannot resist that drone's damage she dies and ruins all my formation :( although I have 6 e2 op still can't clear anni 3 so I suck XD
And I can't invest on my bp rn cuz need e2 my Ange for CC, and either I wanna upgrade Jessica (I saw she's perfect on bottom lane) so I guess I'll be stucked until my bp reach e2 and her hp becomes enough to resist dron's dmg, gg.
Everyone else: Imma plan this carefully
My dumbass: ha ha Firewatch nuke go boom
