If there's one thing I learned from previous IS themes: block count trumps DPS in the early stages. 1-block ops are a no go until you have two or three other melee ops. And what did HG do with IS4? Reinforce that lesson by making stages with lots and lots of fast moving trash mobs (or a giant horde of ch12 civilians with the immigration checkpoint simulator)
watching 10 hour from start its worth it, it give so much knowledge about many stages. its like kukki give you some ingredient to let us Cook to clear IS#4. after so many run, i agree IS#4 is more easy then IS#3 so many stages its pretty straight forward, i like it.
My gosh, you are the luckiest person alive. There were so many stages where I thought "oh, hes definitely gonna wipe on this one" only for you to just barely sneak a victory. That bind from Ines also did so much work for you
I have tried this IS 5 times alredy and I have not been able to fight a single miniboss. I'm pretty sure 3 of those times I lost to the stage at 39:00, where in my first time, for some UNGODLY REASON, the stage didn't follow normal spawn cds, had over 100 enemies listed and they all moved at the speed of Sarkaz Lancers, all I could ask myself was "How in the fuck is this the first floor???"
Congrats! I watched during your livestream while doing work so I planned to rewatch again first two hours of your IS run. Fortunately you repost this part. For me luck and skill always required for this game mode. I struggled just because my strategy skill is lacking. So I just grind invest shop and watch some guide or doing multiple fail runs for now.
beating is4 blind on first try isn't really an accomplishment tbh when your account is at end game, but beating is4 with the operator u are using is crazy, i myself can't see how to beat is4 without reed alter, typhon, mlynar, ines and u managed to beat is4 with no broken operator or no crazy damage operator, mostly only laneholder. Congratz.
I'd say it's still an accomplishment even with end game account if they did it completely blind. No skill tree buffs, no knowledge about IS4 at all prior; just them doing their first run with what they have, all within 6-7 squad size at max without squad size items, while playing smart with the foldartars or whatever. As Kukki said, some people are still struggling on even floor 1-3 and some stages in floor 4 and 5 can be run killer.
@@dindapriska i also do it on first try blind, its not that hard like others make it to be. It just a matter of luck in your recruitment and collcectible drops.
@@huynamvu3035without special training squad, your squad is almost guaranteed to be shit. Only 3-4 e2 ops and at least 10 squad limit almost everytime.
@@nrostova5606 are u sure or do u just have skill issue? I never use special training squad, i always use the squad which reduce the hope of recruiting medic and archer by 2, and i have already beaten all 3 endings, braving nature 10, and always got at least 5 E2 operator before bosses. It just a matter of how you managed your hope
@@skywalkerjohn8965 Because it's a block check? Kukki didn't know anything but was aware that he played the stage badly. He even corrected himself in the next try.
oh my god the thumbnail is perfect XD

such dedication for the thumbnail 🤣
I'm really enjoying this IS. Glad you are too.

Glad to see you exploring it completely blind, and enjoying it immensely! :D I love this mode so far.
I've discovered that Wild Mane counters the prisoner stage pretty well
This is why kukki is different, the thumbnail lol
The clutch is real, especially knowing NOTHING AT ALL mechanic and map wise for IS4
This run is just pure adrenaline and amazing
2:30:33 Literally one the best expression in Arknights i've ever saw. I've laughed so hard when Thypon face got like that😂

That first stage was literally troll 😂
That thumbnail fire tho
hey, same thing happen to me at that first stage, I was like wtf, game design really max troll me there
that thumbnail 😂

Ngl with special training squad, is4 went from hard to medium
Also this event is a fever dream for reed alter users.
aye, i also first tried is4 blind. there was a lot of leaks, but a win is a win.
shieldguard mvp there but how in gods name did you do all those floors x-x
very cool
Can you give tips on how to tackle this gamemode?, thank you 🙏
Oh god, how did he do this considering he seemed allergic to block count early 🤣
Shieldboy carried
3:07 😂😂😂😂
360p only?
Video will fix itself soon!
probably still processing, give it some time
bonjour
Chat thinking every stage is hard is amusing. The only difficulty with this IS is the boss stages and not being able to see ahead of you.
Incorrect. The boss is your last problem, early stage is punishing because if you didn't have that perfect ops to counter it then you're fucked
Peak en player, cant read and dies on first stage 😂

No buffs makes it an accomplishment. Majority of players don't start clearing IS until they have buffs or tons of knowledge on the mode

This already left a bad impression for me.
Bad impression how, if I may ask?
@@dindapriska His first run speaks everything.

@@dindapriska mainly because they are annoying.
@dindapriska but at least this IS won't punish too harshly for leaking.
