Someone is excited for a date.

Tomorrow's risks for EN (today for JP) seem really hard. Don't know if I want to take that no Guards/Defenders risk when there are Bullies (need ops with 3 block to block them).

Anyway, been wanting to post but couldn't access the site, a rare ship I didn't know I wanted Plume x Utage. Don't even know if they have a connection at all.

Seeing Amiya ships with older operators feels weird. She's literally 14, the age gap is just way too big for me to enjoy any Amiya ships. There's also the fact that everyone keeps reminding you that she's super young so it's not like the game isn't making her age clear.

The Age gap makes it better XD

Personally don't mind shipping Amiya since it's cute but I am more interested in what happens to her in the story than shipping. Pls give 6 star Demon Queen

Anyway, here's a pic of crocs at the beach.

I'm not sure I want Manticore though. Her operator file doesn't seem to mention any likely shipping candidates for her unlike Blue Poison which has Gummy and Specter.

Manticore gets shipped with Nightmare. Also their ship name 夜蝎 means Night Scorpion and that sounds cool. As for Blue Poison, her main ship is with Glaucus.

@random Except Surtr was a male giant in Norse mythology unlike this game.

Like that ever stopped anyone. Really failing to see the relevance.

If they're going to use mythological figures in this game it's better to get it right or at least give a justification on why the name is used in such a manner.

In the context of Arknights, it's a codename so gender accuracy and myth accuracy is irrelevant. In other gacha games? Obviously waifu power trumps any accuracy to lore.

Not quite max risk but this risk 8 clear felt good. Guardknights is truly strong.

Today is a boring sniper returning stage, shouldn't be difficult for anyone since we all have 15+ snipers laying around. Grab an Eyja if you're having trouble.

Yea. Snipers loved me so I kept dropping them all the time ignoring the fact, now somehow I have more guards, but shh. I'm impressed with myself because I managed to beat it myself, without checking videos for help. Not only that, I beat it with 100% movement speed risk (which was a huge pain).

I used the best AA Sniper, SilverAsh XD. That said, there will actually be a dedicated AA Guard in the future. Speaking of snipers, damn why does Schwarz need rocks just for Mastery 1 on her skill 3... I need those rocks for Bagpipe. Might as well buy rocks from the infinite part of the CC shop.

Reversal

I knew Ako wasn't serious but the teacher tho. She has a lot of repressed feelings huh.

Thank you fighter jet for your support. That said I can incoming FEELs in this flashback.

A drawing of most people's week 1 risk 18 I don't know why this is so funny to me - "gender reveal party" makes me want to cry

It's funny cause it's true.

Let us all calm down and appreciate all the ships. An armada is stronger than a single ship after all. TaluCh'en is the real OTP anyway :P

Speaking of Orca ships, here's a slightly lewd Skadi x Warfarin pic

That artist seems to really like that ship.

Grani and the Knight's Treasure was basically Grani x Carol + hidden pairing Skadi x Specter. Operational Intelligence arguably had Magallan with the unreleased operator + Hellagur x Patriot, Heart of Surging Flame was Schwarz x Ceylon, Code of Brawl was Mostima x Exusiai + hints of Sora's crush on Texas, Ancient Forge was Nian x Lava, and Stories of Afternoon had some Vulcan x Ceobe sprinkled in it.

That's literally every event with a story so far?? Like they included some gay ship tease in pretty much every event. Pretty sure the future events will also hints for yuri ships. Like Darknights' Memoirs has W shipped with another girl named Ines. And then there's the Ursus event where I saw a lot of bear x bear fanart, specifically Rosa x Zima.

I also really love this about Arknights. I just want to add the Gavial event with Gavial x Tomimi, Gavial x Eunecetes and the best one, Eunectes x Lancet-2. Also, on Darknights, W is a diehard fan of Theresa so there is that.

Orca wants to eat horse.

This is a chapter of culture.

Also, is it just me or is this CC really easy?

It is. Even in CN with all the CC events they've had, the first one is the hardest. It even gets easier with the latest CC in CN being laughably easy.

Speaking of Eija x Ifrit, there's a r-18 one shot that needs translating: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/84096205

That's really nice. Yes translation please. It makes me happy to see Ifrit happy with her own partner.

Here is a translation. Tried to make reading it as intuitive as possible without actual typesetting. Ifrit is a level of oblivious in this manga that I didn't think was achievable...

Ifrit... you... at least she can say that she likes Eyja tho likely she also does not know what it means. I wonder how Saria and Silence will react to Ifrit getting this kind of sex education XD

Why were today's risk tags so brutal... I couldn't do the max risk 14 but I did manage risk 12. Had to take off the -50% HP contingency to do it. Pretty sure my strat is somewhat unique since I used Nearl and Saria's skill 3. Here's my run if anyone wants to see.

Wow that was tough. Congrats. Personally I find it easy enough for a risk 8 clear. That ranged units ban for 3 risk is basically a freebie for Guardknights. Even just four of the Big 5 is easy mode.

Here is a NSFW Gavial x Tomimi from Gavial's perspective

Speaking of Eija x Ifrit, there's a r-18 one shot that needs translating: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/84096205

That's really nice. Yes translation please. It makes me happy to see Ifrit happy with her own partner.

As for CC, FINALLY cleared risk 18. Thank you to a friend's Hoshi. Really sealed the deal for me there. Tho I did fight RNG a bit with the fire tiles not procing when I needed it to.

There's also Doberman x Jessica in this with other common ships: HoshiCh'en, Texas x Exu, Schwarz x Ceylon and then there's Eyja x Ifrit which I do find really cute. There is also Jessica x Snowsant aka the two cinnamon rolls that need protecting. Tho they do not seem to have a ship name.

Does anyone know what these tags mean: 煌喉 and 莫菲? I'm looking for yuri ships that involve Jessica. What are some of her popular options?

煌喉 is Blaze x Greythroat. Putting it into lofter got me pics of them. I'm not sure what 莫菲 is. Got me this. Nothing Arknights related at a glance. 杰西卡 is Jessica's name in Chinese so try searching that in lofter.

Sorry Rye. Still couldn't clear risk 18 with your Hoshi. I do know there is RNG with Hoshi's passive but I didn't want to keep rolling that RNG. But I will try again every now and then.

Okay just had to share this because the imagery and the title are just too much XD

"Crossing scissor"

I can swap SA for Hoshi in my support if you want, also what skill you want? Thorns?

Either skill 2 or skill 3 works. Thank you.

Congrats guys. Also wouldn't mind if you those you have Hoshi can put her in support. Haven't seen a support Hoshi all day.

Aw, that's too bad. I was hoping I'd just missed some but it seems like Bagpipe x Ch'en just isn't that popular.

HoshiCh'en too strong. Crossing fingers for chapter 8 to boost TaluCh'en

Thankfully we will not need to re-evaluate this because Ifrit x Silence is a crack ship with no canon evidence. Saria x Silence is end-game and Ifrit is their child. End of story. XD

This is the real Arknights endgame. I do think that the whole experimentation thing with Silence intentionally or unintentionally taking part in it makes shipper her with Ifrit creepier. Adds another level of power imbalance imo.

I really need to get around to E2'ing Magallan...

You really should. Her S3 is basically having three mini Meteorites for the price of one operator.

I have her at E2 but I am too monkey brained to use her right.
