two types of kyou low end : complaining how a level is really really really really hard high end : as you can see a sea urchin is defending his homeland
As I've said elsewhere: W's Skill 2 really shows it's strength in Annihilation clears. When given proper time to setup, those mines can completely zone an entire area. Bonus points for being really fun, haha. Happy 2nd Anniversary! As always: Cheers everyone! ^_^
I have W on where Skadi is facing down and she fills the area around the blue box with mines. Makes me chuckle each time those big flowers triggers the mines.
If Phantom's only job is to trigger the bottom-right flowers, you can actually use Specter S2M3 to hold that lane, and if she's the last deploy, she'll aggro the boss's stun attack
I think a lv 90 Thorns can clear the top left even when unsupported. Also, placing seaborn next to Ash when she uses her S2 makes it easier for her to clear the creepy crawlers. Plus, the cooldown on her skill and the seaborn almost matches so I like the pair-up. Edit: lmao, the boss just juked him.
can confirmed a e290'd thorns with s3m3 no pots can solo top left lane if you place him one spot to the left from where kyo placed him. placing the myrtle two spots above where she is in the video solves the initial leak issue before s3 is online.
i happened to have all the operators showcased here. Although mine wasn't at max, I added a few more to help out. Basically, finished the run in one go while watching this video. Thanks, Kyo!!
Nice strat! Helped me get full clear first try, despite not having Skalter, Phantom or W. Blaze did a lot of the heavy lifting when my Ash died a few times.
It's always interesting seeing the difference between my high-end and your high-end, due to lvl and Mastery differences. I think the only part that was very different was W because mines M0 and she can only field so many before they start despawning. Whereas yours despawn as she places them.
Quick tip for those using W: You can use Shamare's doll to debuff the flowers as they run through W's minefield. At M3, her S2 matches up pretty well with their spawns (as long as you're lucky with W), and once debuffed, the flowers can't even deal enough mental damage to stun W! You can even replicate the rest of Kyo's strat perfectly fine, just use the doll whenever the flowers start running. Of course, it's kinda luck based since W might place a mine in a different spot in the auto, but it can still prevent the flower from going into your backline and dealing mental damage to your ops.
With Ash and Exusiai, you don't need Ifrit, Blaze, and Saria. I used Ash where she is in this, Exusiai on the ranged tile above her and Skalter on the one bellow. The I used Spectre to spawn-camp the flower. Also you can place Throny one tile over, and you then don't have to wait for the enemies to move: he can clear them all by himself. Sadly no W, so I had to use Kal and Eyja instead where she is instead.
I used a non-maxed Rosa in the W spot and it worked very well, I used gravel to stall the flower a bit, but it was just in case. A maxed Rosa would likely have killed everything easily. *Edit Just tried this. My Exu isn't maxed, so still needed ifrit for insurance, but yeah... don't need blockers or saria there at all. I used Gladia instead of Spectre (kept them alive better). And Rosa worked fine. Only Skalter and Thorns maxed, so needed Phantom to plug some holes, but definitely a great setup regardless!
Never thought I'd see the day where I'd actually have the ops to do a High-End Squad guide (I only lack Blaze, and I can just borrow her or replace her with another op).
@@Charlett Ash isn't absolutely necessary in this clear, you can use Exu, Eyja, any ranged operator that has burst damage will work. The boss doesn't actually have that much health.
@@darkshard45 U can say this for all 6 stars bruv U missed completely my point I wont have ops to High End bcs they use limited characters and I wont be able to get them
Love the guide. W never came to me, so I substituted Beanstalk S2. Not quite enough to solo the flowers, but enough for Myrtle or Thorns to Phantom to finish off.
I really closely followed this (but spaced about the Boss' ability so my Ash got nuked) and it worked EXTREMELY well. Sadly don't have Phantom, but Robin/Frost covered his zone REALLY well. Trappers FTW
I tried figuring this one out on my own before this was made, and had a similar layout (though additional defense/damage). I never got W, but I do have a fairly high level Rosa. She destroys the bottom left with her S3 pinning the flower and flyers. I used the occasional gravel to line them up while she was distracted by a healbot, but don't know if that was even necessary.
I also used Rosa as a replacement, but I used her to fill in for Ashe. Not the same burst, but good enough to be serviceable. I ended up using Robin to stall the bottom left, and it worked better than I expected. Only E1 L1, so I did a trial run to see if it had potential and ended up doing a full clear with no problem.
I don't know why the way you say "Thorns is super horned" sounds so freaking hilarious to me, I can't get through the video without laughing everytime I hear it my head 🤣
For those who want to use this comp without W, you can replace her with a platinum and use projekt red (either skill) to proc the enemy. Projekt red due to her talent will almost always drop a third of their health before being undeployed without platinum's damage. If need be, Phantom can be used for additional damage due to myrtle being a strong sunflower. Platinum was my suggestion due to her ability to melt the air units and make their threat negligible in holding that lane while being able to focus flowers.
It sucks that people who didn't get Ash will never be able to get her now, unless somehow they secure the licensing for a rerun but I don't think collab reruns really ever happen in gacha games unfortunately.
Using Gravel instead because i have no Phantom. For insurance i add Exu for extra DPS on right side to cover up low level operator and swap her position with Ash. only going down because take laser bomb from Boss ... the result is basically same
Now I feel like I exerted more energy than needed by using Gladiia S3 to defend bottom left LMAO Activating her S3 when the nervous impairment timer is juuust about to max out will still generate the tornado despite Gladiia getting stunned and hold the flower in place, though she can’t use the last pully bit after her S3
Cheers Kyo. Even more easy clear is putting Ch'en and Mountain at the bottom and just activate their skills when up. Ch'en + Surtr + Seaborn nuked the boss immediately.
Mudrock instead of thorns and holungday chen instead of ash, plus bagpipe because weak W and had to use project red instead of phantom, worked fine, also plop in surtr as there is still room and u have an in case i fuck up card, had to use skalter as a support unit as im not lucky enough to have her.
this is great! giving me some good ideas for my lower squad too... i wonder whether i can use my E2 May and Robin as replacements for Ash and W with some help...
The former can definitely work as long as they're high enough level/skill level and you have constant DP generation The latter can work as long as you take out the crawlers in time
I use both at E1 lv50, supported only by E1 Chiave for DP. Works very well. However, if you don't have both I would suggest a different strategy or make sure at least one of them is E2M3, preferably Robin since her S1 binds for 3 seconds each mine.
Using S1E1Max-Robin to replace W worked... most of the time. Myrtle ended up killing them a few times, and she did get shot down at around 392 (not to mention the DP-cost of deploying all of those mines), but otherwise not a terrible choice. (Just make sure to have a backup FastRedeploy, because a few times she didn't manage to replace the mines quickly enough.) Also used a pretty weak S3E2-Schwartz on the tile beneath Ash in order to take care of the Boss (since I didn't have Ash and had to rely on Exusiai's pure-DPS), she didn't kill him, but she did hurt him pretty badly so... maybe a high-end Schwartz would be enough. (And I honestly just deployed Eyja right in front of the Boss in the hopes that he'd target her first for the dmg/stun... which he did. Byebye Eyja.)
Think the only two I don't have are Phantom and Ash. Could probably borrow Ash, but would Exu or Archetto work as well? And can I just use Gravel/Red for Phantom?
It's easy due to the fact you only really need to defend the upper two sides. The Reapers are too easily cheesed and if done right, they'll die of health drain before they get close and survive long enough to tear through your operators.
Thanks, had to redo it because for some reason the auto-play messed something. Not sure how because shouldn't the auto just be a replay with the same rng etc.?
totally unrealated but does anyone know if new OPs will be added to the recruitment pool with the 2nd anniversary update? I got a top op tag and Im wondering if I should keep it or use it.
I don't have W trained up properly, but swapping in BP + SilverAsh + Gravel worked for that left side. Surtr works in place of Phantom on the right side, I used Eyja for safety since she won't come out as quickly as Phantom as well.
One improvement to this strat: Deploy Saria to the tile directly above W, instead. This prevents W from wasting time deploying her bombs on that tile, which serves two positive purposes. Her bombs will be focused more on dealing with the Reapers, and won't be blowing up the Maintenance Drones coming from the right lane. Saria will still be healing Myrtle, Blaze, and Ash in this placement as well, so it's purely gain at no cost.

two types of kyou
low end : complaining how a level is really really really really hard
high end : as you can see a sea urchin is defending his homeland
The best of the high-end squad clears are the kyojokes
if you wanna save on DP, you can just deploy phantom on the map and use his shadow as the fast redeploy, since the cost of the shadow doesn't rise.
When Kyo kept saying Stupid Boss after it stunned Ash, in my head it was like "Stupid Boss, you made me look bad! UGA BUGA BUGA!"

@@makie128 Yeah, that's a perfect W Skill 2 zone. The poor Nourished Reapers don't know what they're walking into, haha.
Cheers! ^_^
Her S3 is also a great panic button if you want to loldelete a crowd of enemies. It also recharges fairly fast compared to something like SA's S3.
Gotta say, I really like the bgm in this annihilation. One of my faves.
If Phantom's only job is to trigger the bottom-right flowers, you can actually use Specter S2M3 to hold that lane, and if she's the last deploy, she'll aggro the boss's stun attack
Any fast-re op can do also phantom skill allow him to deal more damage then other fast-re operator

Excellent timing, I cleared it easy with your help!

The First To Talk: I'm a do what's called a 'pro-gamer move'.
i like how you're trying to make sense of why thorns is good here
Kyo: Damn stupid boss! ruined my plan.
Also Kyo: Proceed to cleared anni 8 perfectly
Thanks for the strategy.
I was able to clear it even with operators at lower levels (E2Lvl25 Ash and E2Lvl35 W for example).
I really closely followed this (but spaced about the Boss' ability so my Ash got nuked) and it worked EXTREMELY well. Sadly don't have Phantom, but Robin/Frost covered his zone REALLY well. Trappers FTW

Ok I will try a mix of this one and the low cost one, since I have W and I really like how you used her here
I was struggling with this since I tend to avoid m3's but added Texas alter into the mix, and oh my...
I'm amazed how limited operators are the core of all the high end comps.
Skadi isnt the core, you can replace her with perfumer for literally the same result. But why use perfumer if you have skadi
It sucks that people who didn't get Ash will never be able to get her now, unless somehow they secure the licensing for a rerun but I don't think collab reruns really ever happen in gacha games unfortunately.
@@iamme6252 years later and they really are making a rerun.
Using Gravel instead because i have no Phantom.

Stop saying Stupid Boss or Draw 25 cards
Kyo: Draw 125 cards
I need more of those HORNT jokes
this is easier to follow after failing to do a perfect 400
kyo: time to die *activated ash skill*
boss: oh u approaching me?
My team levels were around 65 for most ops but this still got the job done. I brought Eyja and Siege with me as backups though which was a good idea.
Loved the guide, I had to swap Skalter with Angela and ash with Exusai since I don't have em
That sea creature at the bottom left: Let me IN "BANG* Let me... *BANG" Let ME "BANG* LET ME... *BANG AhAHa*
thank u mr kyo, 1 extra pull for the pink catto fund
Now I feel like I exerted more energy than needed by using Gladiia S3 to defend bottom left LMAO

Kyo, boss jebaited you, he was like: SIKE!
...and then Ifrit literally BBQed him, lost half its HP to pass through 3 tiles! lmfao
thankyou for the guide Kyo!
damn thorn is so good on here, so sad i dont have him
Low end: ua-cam.com/video/RVAEpxqZRro/v-deo.html
Great video!
Cheers Kyo.
Even more easy clear is putting Ch'en and Mountain at the bottom and just activate their skills when up. Ch'en + Surtr + Seaborn nuked the boss immediately.
The real mood is when the boss is simp
Pozyomka S3M3 in place of Ash also works well
Thorns is stronk here because *_KORE KOSO GA IBERIA NO DESTREZA_*
I just left Mountain in the bottom right, he tanks the first boss skill hit as well so Ash can kill the boss at the spawn.
Too bad I don't have skalter and ash, but I'll see what I can do. Time to get ash in supp hehe. Thanks again as always, kyo
Thank you lord Kyo
What the minimum level of these operator for this annihilation
I currently only have them on level ranged around 20 to 65
where ever i go, I see his face........
thorns......
low end and high end guides are just 2 different kyo, with 1 being evil kyo

Bruhhh ... W defended that lane by herself XD
Argh, the way this guy dodges Ash's flashbang makes autos kinda tricky.
Awesome I got it! I feared I might not be able to do because most of my units are only level 30 at E2, and not master 3.... But it was enough!😁
11:40 HAHAHAHAH
When I see this I just think, I have everyone but the limited units, which are the best 😔
this is great! giving me some good ideas for my lower squad too... i wonder whether i can use my E2 May and Robin as replacements for Ash and W with some help...
Kyo ship Skadi Alter and Thorns while Weedy mad at the backstage
Would a trapper work in place of W? Someone like Robin or Frost
Also. Can chen alter replace ash.
I think it would work just fine. If you have someone who can detonate or stun then they will be a perfect substitute for W.
I'd consider adding a sniper for more dps they have similar percentage on the skill but they don't have the same base attack but trapper can work
The former can definitely work as long as they're high enough level/skill level and you have constant DP generation
The latter can work as long as you take out the crawlers in time

This is honestly the easiest Annihiltions stage excluding 1 and 2. The boss is kinda weak too.
I consider him more like a big minion
It's easy due to the fact you only really need to defend the upper two sides. The Reapers are too easily cheesed and if done right, they'll die of health drain before they get close and survive long enough to tear through your operators.
