Mostima's birthday present
W trying to take a picture

W and Ines shit-talking Doctor in this event is weirdly hilarious to me (well, shit-talking is probably a bit of an exaggeration but still).

Don't forget to check the Dynasty Cafe. I posted link to a bunch of images there including one of Ifrit and her family.

Anyway I'm almost done buying all of Sideroca's tokens. Did I miss her or does she not even appear in this event unlike Grani's event?

Thanks to you I found this cute pic of W admiring Theresa's laugh

Afaik, she and the new ops from the banner do not appear in the event story at all. I'm not sure if the upcoming EX stages will have story tho.

Sharing this too: Orca munching on penguin

Yeah, it’s pretty weird - none of the featured banner characters appeared in the event proper, unlike pretty much all of the past events. Phantom does narrate the PV, at least. Maybe because it’s mostly a flashback? Of course, W’s banner is coming out in a month or so, but still

Skadi and Magallan? Do they even interact?

As far as I know, they don't. Magallan x Skadi is more of a meme ship than anything else, based on how real-life orcas eat penguins.

I did it! I was finally able to beat DM-8 and set it to autofarmable. Amiya's E2 skill was the winning key I needed.

An extra detail for Folinic's outfit. I feel like Folinic x Kal'tsit has potential as a Student x Teacher ship to some degree, though I haven't really seen any fanart for it.

Today I got my first five star exclusive tag: Nuker. I put the time to nine hours and it stuck so I got Firewatch.

Does Kroos have a girlfriend? She really needs one if she doesn't have one.

Did ticket rolls and got Ptilopsis and Reed.
Used Utage in every stage. I'm making beeg sword boing boing team with Sideroca. Event Part 2 is taking too long lol

I like this event. Can we get Ines? Thanks.

I saw a translated doujin of her with Fang. There's some pics of them floating around too.

Also burnt 12 practice plans until I realized Manticore's s2 completely cripples those stupid spearmen. If I wasn't farming sugars and orion like mad right now, I'd e2 that cutie.

Is this NSFW the Fang x Kroos doujin you were talking about? It looks pretty good from what I saw.

I really want Hibiscus's Night Watcher outfit but I missed it since I joined the game late. :(

Sarkaz Casters are pure evil with their 20 (? I think) second bind.

^ good nuke

Confession time! I haven't watched any guides and never checked those guy's stats until now. I already mentioned I used Utage in every stage...you know where this is going...
I made her assassinate enemies with A rank res for "fun". I'm such a dumbass.
Eyja was killing them like normal so I didn't even think about it. Idk maybe I actually just forgot.

Well I got my Sideroca and enough mats to E2 both Amiya and Exusiai so I'm happy here. Have been slacking off today in Arknights and only logged on to check my base, do the missions, and logoff. No green thingys to E2 Texas on this event thought. :(

Edit: Here's a Melantha x Cardigan image. Mild BDSM with collars but otherwise worksafe.

^ If you haven't been farming the Darknights stages then you won't have enough to buy out the shop. Even monthly pass players have to farm everyday with the extra 60 sanity they get or they won't be able to buy out everything.

I do not care about getting everything in the shop. I'm prioritizing stuff I need the most followed by other things if I have the time to grind them. My life doesn't revolve around this game.

^ ...okay? I was just letting you know, I dunno what's with the hostile tone. My life doesn't revolve around this game either so I dunno why you're implying something there.

I managed to beat all of the extra operations! Now all that's left is the pseudo-Annihilation stage in a few days. This is actually the first event I've been able to beat without using any guides at all, so I'm pretty happy with myself. DM-EX-6 gave me a lot of trouble but I barely managed to beat it without wasting any sanity.

Didn't mean to be hostile sorry if it came out that way. Not just games but there's plenty of real life stuff going on during December. Especially with FGO's lottery event and the various small RL parties that are occurring now. Anyway I manged to E2 my Exusiai but I ate almost all of the LMD I got from the event. :( Got enough rma70-24 to M3 all of Ifrit's skills once I E2 her.

Well it looks like there's more in the shop that I can use for my Texas. I need the Aketon and Polyester now too.

Those new stages sure are difficult for me.
Managed to finish normal mode of 1 to 5, and challenge of 1 to 3.

So I just saw the translation for the W x Amiya comic that Norainhere shared here (saw the translation in danbooru btw). That page of W getting a glimpse of Theresa while looking at Amiya with her hair down and then Amiya claiming that W's real feelings are obvious. It inspired me to look for W x Theresa and W x Amiya in lofter. The former (W特 or 特w) is really filled with angst as expected of a ship with a dead character. Examples: W with a precious photograph, "Up There", was just a dream. Happier art does exist like this cute smooch and this fangirling moment. As for W x Amiya (tag is w娅), yeah there really isn't a lot of it. It does feel more like a crack ship unless one really believes in a theory connecting Amiya and Theresa causing art like this where W sees Theresa in Amiya. Oh for W x Ines shippers, their tags are 伊W and w伊.

Thanks for all of this; more W yuri is always appreciated.

The new pseudo-annihilation map's open now! I haven't tried it yet, though we still have a week left so I'm not too worried. Also the event shop got filled up again; I was not ready for that. I'm starting to understand now why people where saying there'd barely be enough sanity to clear the shop if you're F2P.

Something neat I saw for the Chinese server is that there's going to be a new Vanguard archetype that's limited to ranged tiles. The first one is a 4-star operator called Beanstalk; I like her little plant-crab things.

Also, yesterday was Exusiai's birthday, so here's a Exusiai x Texas comic and a Exusiai x Mostima comic

There was also apparently an anime that aired for the anniversary livestream, though I've only found a video for the last part of it: https://twitter.com/arknightspeta/status/1342090955105550336
More stuff from the livestream included a real-life Thermal-Ex, and that a whole bunch of stuff's coming on December 30. These include a free Savage, Chapter 7, new costumes, and the W (and Weedy and Elysium) banner. Gamepress has an article summing it all up here

I found the anime I mentioned. It’s called Holy Knight Light and is about 10 minutes long. No subtitles unfortunately.

Those plant crab things are indeed adorable and she's the same race as Spot. The second Hyena for Arknights, and the first female one. More importantly, first for her archetype. Really interesting. I wonder if this means banning melee tiles in future CCs XD

Subs are up on the official EN channel. Hearing Ch'en laugh gives me life and Tsuda Kenjiro (Seto Kaiba) as The Emperor is just the best.
