- Was originally a 3 part video, but I decided to cut it down to 2 parts instead..Annihilation 3 just has too many viable strategies, so don't let my template limit your imagination, a lot of operators can work!

A few days ago, my friend at Hololive Moments did a translation on Shirakami Fubuki playing Arknights.
ua-cam.com/video/ajtlT012YDU/v-deo.html
So if you are interested in Vtuber highlights in English, their channel is awesome. I don't have the time to follow Vtubers, and their channel always have some good highlights to keep me entertained.
Fubuki! Fubuki! Fubuki!
Just3c in Azur Lane and Arknights when?
Why are your guides look so easy when you do it but hella difficult when I try to pull it off?Maybe different in skills lol?.Anyway,love your videos.keep up the good work.
Thanks for your help on that! Was surprised to see the man 3c himself being credited in the comments.
PEKORA and MIO's AK VIDS ARE GREAT BTW
i havent watched korone and okayu's but FBK's are 10/10 the pinoeer ;)
Here's a trick that might help any of you, don't forget that stun can save you. I had to improvise with Texas behind my middle lane defender to stall the last defense crusher rush along with leader, but if you have Red at E1 at least, don't hesitate to abuse her stun. Do mind the unit limit, however
Don't panic as well if any of the top, middle or bottom lane collapsed, as long as you have a backup melee operator, simply deploy them. After my Lappland helped Liskarm, who....er, can't deal with the incoming defense crusher even with skill 2 level 7, I withdrawn her and redeploy her there when my E1 Specter fell at the bottom lane
Also, here's the last tip, I'm sure this happened to more than a few players. If there's an enemy that risk breaking your 400 kill streak at the end and you don't have enough DP (it happened to me, I had to improvise a lot at the 350 wave due to being underleveled), don't panic. Here's what I do, my Gitano died early, but now she's ready to redeploy, I don't have the DP, I quickly withdrew everyone to get enough DP and stop the defense crusher leader in his tracks, just as he is literally one step away from entering the blue zone, earning me that 400 kills. This might not be foolproof, but don't forget that it might help. Withdraw what you don't need, and deploy new units to stop the enemy, since most likely at that point, everyone else is dead anyway to worry about defense line collapsing
Here's the last tip, keep an absolute eye on your units health, one of my mistakes was letting Gitano die too early, but it was my luck she manages to take out the two defense crusher first and lucky, I still had a sniper to replace her. Don't be afraid to pause if you feel overwhelmed, I did it more than a few times to assess the situation, it saved me. Just a PVE game, no one's gonna judge on how we play, no meta
I would like to prefer Platinum with S2 on the bottom lane still despite most ppl saying that she goes top lane since she'll still be there for the majority of the fight (from the start until she kills the 2 drones that comes with the crushers at 350/400) and she can kill most drones before they can come even close to damage her.
She can still be deployed after retreating your top lane Defender/Guard at 380/400 and she can use her S2 even with its long charge time before the A2 drones start coming.
All this grinding and Im STILL so underleveled [Longcryland]
That's more just bad game design on the devs part. You can clear all the content in game right now (aside from maybe hell-mode stages) without your operators needing to be nearly as strong as they have to be to clear this stage. A stupid side mission that's only there to get you weekly orundum and they had the 2IQ idea of going "hey, lets make this substantially harder than anything else players have to do". Worst part is you need to full clear it in order to increase your weekly orundum cap, so they're actually locking the amount of free currency you can get behind the wall too.
That Jessica skin though xD
Besto
So Sexy
she thicc
Thanks to your first guide I managed to beat 400 kills today and actually get an almost stable auto clear. I just have to place a healing drone one spot more below to cover Gitano who sometimes dies on my next autorun. It took me about 15 retries over 3 days but it feels accomplishing which is more worth than a quick victory! I used Lappland instead of Silverash but made up for that with E2 Exu in place of Meteor and Meteor where you placed Jessica. Exu can take a lot of pressure away from the top and mid lane. I also used Silence as top lane healer and her healing drone makes up for me having 10-20 fewer levels on most ops. Thanks, 3c
One thing that I noticed is that if you don't have Shaws Potential at 4 (I am at 3) the - redeploy time is missing and makes her not be ready in time. I solved this with temporarily using a blocker for that 8 seconds.
Can we have an E2 priority list on newer operators? Especially those that are going to be released soon over there in the CN server
*Sees Nightmare used for 15 seconds in a 3c video*
"Omg, Nightmare usable? I'm maxing her out"
Thanks a lot for this in-depth follow-up 3c! I think I have my farming priorities down for the week now.
Meteorite carried my f2p ass
God bless the THICC
She's really good in this map.
Meteotits
@@csgarthur7763 Meetheotits
I already did this but always good to watch one of your vids
I know we need healing tanks to heal shirayuki, but they are so painfully fragile... I got Hoshigumo at e2, making them feel like thin glass, I get the concept of having a melee location medic, still... Next monday I'll try this with THE tank since my silence is also e2, hopefully this will be another viable option. I also have Ifrit on e2. I wish I had Silverdaddy... And another thing I'll try is to time my e1 lappland to use instead of midnight, auto skills are so annoying. I'll edit this if it works with the timing.
I love your vids and explanation, and hope my comment doesn't sound like hater's bs, far from it I'm just mumbling about other possibilities and stuff, mostly to myself, but I'm commenting so if I get anything wrong people may correct me
also Nearl is a LOT cuter than Saria, and since Saria is fairly stronger I haven't e2'ed any yet...
If using the Ifrit strategy, a maxed-out Kroos (lv 55 skill 7) in the top lane has a rough 30% to leak one single drone around 250 kills. She can deal with the rest just fine, though.
I find the ifrit works much better on the top left position rather than the right one, with melee units moved 2 spaces left. Putting her on the left allowed me to consistently auto, but not when she's in the right slot
Why am I watching this I already beat Annihilation 3
To see different strategies that may not only help you on this map but on later maps too when you need to think of new ways to do things.
Same lol me too
6:45 .. why does your jessica regain health automatically ? ... mine just stays at the same HP
EDIT: ok i didnt realize that perfumer has map wide heal
From my experience, it feels like e2ing shirayuki is better to do since the middle defense crusher breaks through my defenses. The extra range seems to help tremendously.
Finally clear that god forsaken annihilation and im so happy and so free now i can even e2 my vulcan
....
I didn't know Lapland can disable Crusher stuns. This knowledge changes everything
E2 is such a pain... I have all the ops but no resources to E2 them.
WAIT. VIGNAS NAME IS LITERALLY RED BEAN? Thats so cute what the heck
Suggestion: link this video from the first video. In description and in in-video pop-up at end.
UA-cam search makes everyone land in first video and not even know this one exists or how to find ir
Hmmm I have not really upgraded Platinum and I kept losing my sanity due to the recent event ongoing, Code of Brawl rerun and also grinding levels and resources. If I had my Platinum in E1, would it work? Also I'd still use another ranged guard. Would any 4 star ranged guards be good to replace Silverash?
Would an E1 max level Frostleaf with skill 2 lvl 7 be enough to help the healing Defender in Mid? Thinking about using Lappland at top and Frostleaf is my only higher leveled melee Operator.
Bryant Hmm true, then I would basically have to learn and count the timing of Lappland's second skill essentially in order for this to work. Or I could replace Shirayuki with Angelina and have her kill the second Armor Crusher and Liskarm could handle the first one. Possibilities . . .
3:29 single target caster description.
3c suggest that any caster can replace gitano/shirayuki, but later he say that the reason we dont use single target caster ...
so my question is, do 3c recommend using aoe caster or single target caster?
If they do enough dmg then it's fine, if not then no.
It's not really about "single target caster" vs "AOE caster" but "single target caster" vs "Gitano/Shirayuki".
So no, AOE caster are not recommended (but they might work if they deal enough dmg).
Now I will go and at least finish it until 300-350.
Wait wait wait, is Just3c TALKING in this video!? Maybe he was talking in other videos, but I'm PRETTY SURE he wasn't! Man, I'm shocked. Anyways, I was just wondering, and to whoever reading this, have a nice day!
I have exusiai and meteor should I put exusiai on bottom or top?
Bottom
I just slapped Schwarz at the botton at left her do her thing.
The nuke strat looks cool but it is a huge investment, this strat is more showing a way of doing it rather than the optimal way of doing it. The explosions look cool but it is pretty impractical considering there are better ways of doing it out there.
So i have no clue why are people using Firewatch is core in anni 3 as an excuse to tell people to pull for her. She isnt a core character, period.
Any recommendation on how to use Eyjafjalla to replace Gitano? Her S3 does more damage than Gitano's S2 but I wasn't able to clear out the bottom lane the same way, not enough range/splash.
Use S2 lvl7
Hello just 3c I need help with the ifrit strategy how do I start and what are the times for swapping units?
Please I need help
i did it with E1 lvl 50 meteorite second skill, her second skill goes to aerial units in range first i think it’s a bug.
thanks my king. i was wondering do i really need e2 my shirayuki but you show me just in time.
btw can you switch midnight in top lane to lappland in the first strat? my lappland is lv60 with lv7 skill. or how about liskarm, i'm afraid when she done using the 2nd skill she will get stunned and some enemy might get pass her :(
then how about liskarm on top lane sir? i'm running low on resource so i really really don't want to invest into another op unless it is extremely nessecary
@@blackwood4734 I use liskarm in top lane , she's pretty good , but make sure her skill is 6-7 for the +110% attack
any chance the enemy might get pass her?
@@blackwood4734 as long she got 1 help from others , I don't think so , well not in my case , and if u lucky with the stun chance it will be easier
I think either my annihilation 3 is a bugged or your strat just plain doesn't work. I tried it and the large wave spawned and I couldn't do jack shit as the big people come barreling in and killing all my units. And Yes the second Junkman is still hitting Shaw. Secret patch to screw over this strat?
you need e2 units with m3 skills
Skill levels matter
First the stage runs on a timer, so you can't use the junkman to stall 350 forever. Which is why you need to kill the middle part faster, so you can retreat the middle lane earlier. You can do it a bit earlier than my video's timing too, I left plenty of time in my guide to make it auto safe.
my Ifrit team lineup was nearly Identical with the video, except I borrow Silverash to cheese bot lane and replace middle lane with defender not sure why my E1 max meteor can't kill all droney guesa is because my ifrit isn't E2
Can the single target healer be Ansel? He has high attack and it's my best healer besides Gavial. I got silence too, but lvl 1 because I didn't find the need to use her.
3-star medics have far lower attack so I don't recommend using them on a healing intensive map like this.
Don't have any Defender Healers leveled up. Is it necessary or what are some replacements? I suppose without a defender healer the level requirement on the healer would be way higher.
It's almost a necessity. They need to heal themself plus the other operators to lighten up the burden of the healer. Like it or not,you probably need one leveled up
I only have Platinum, Meteor both e2 lv7 skill, Jessica e1 low lv with lv 2 skill and maxed Kroos. Can I just use my e2s? If yes then who should I place at bottom? Meteor health is low, while Platinum need more time to charge her skill, even killed the second red junkman and let 350 wave come sooner? Or I need to lv up Jessica to clear? I don't usually use Jessica so I'm quite hesitate
Meteor at bottom and Plat at top, you are pretty much set.
@@Just3c then what should I do about Meteor's low health? Continue to lv up her or lv up bottom medic? Meteor is lv 20 and medic is e1 lv 60 Pti lv 5 skill
E2 20 Meteor should survive just fine. She is way above the insta-kill line. As long as Ptilopsis heals more than 300 per heal she should survive without any problem.
Thank you
fresh vid uwu gonna watch this now
Hey Just3C, I was wondering if it was possible to use an E2 lvl 30 skill lvl 7 Mastery 1 Angelina and Shirayuki for the top lane. So basically Angelina replaces my fast firing sniper. Not that i don't have one (I have an E2 Jessica and a max lvl E1 Platinum), but I was wondering if you think the strat is possible. I know how strong Angelina is for this so i wanted to explore some possibilities and wanted your take on that.
Also whether or not Liskarm can also double as a magic damage dealer due to her second skill. I have her at E1 max level skill lvl 7 now. In your case, she'd be replacing Midnight.
Angelina cannot take out the drones effectively, because the drones have 65% RES. I will just use Angelina+a sniper instead of Shirayuki in your case.
Hmm I see. Thanks. Last two questions. Could Liskarm replace Midnight in being the magic damage dealer and is it better to put Platinum top or bottom? I keep hearing bottom but I wasn't sure.
I would put Platinum top, her skill isn't suitable for bottom because you need to switch her out later. Liskarm can only take out 1 Crusher since her skill has very short duration, so she can work but not with Shirayuki.
@@Just3c So in this case you would suggest replacing Shirayuki with Angelina if I were to use Liskarm? So Platinum, Angelina, and Liskarm top would work?
I really am gonna have to E2 Meteorite aren't I? I have her at E1 level 60 right now. M2 skill 1 seriously? Fakk
M3 s1 with liskram = ez game
@@jslee7297 uhh ok?
Well depends on u, I find meteorite is worth to m3 her s1 since she does really crazy amount of dmg if u pair her up wth liskarm, even better if u habe Chen
@@jslee7297 I don't even have all the mats to E2 her plus she isn't max level E1 yet. So any thoughts of Mastering either one of her skills aren't going on.
Uhm anyone know who to substitute gitano with? I still don't have her heh.
Did you even reads his guide to substitute others operator in the video?
Any plan to do operator review on Ch'en banner, or you'll skip it to Schwarz?
i will leave chen for a bit later.
on the ifrit guide.. is it doable to swap ST caster/gitano with e2 lv50 silverash?
yes if ur silverash can survive the auto crossbow
Can I change Liskarm for another operator? I don't have her :c I'm playing global
Judging by the video, it seems like you could replace Liskarm with an arts guard as long as Meteorite is strong enough and doesn't need the extra SP from her talent.
@@kevin427 She has a high level, she is quite close to Elite 2 but I don't have Liskarm, Could I use Hoshiguma instead? Or maybe Another defender
Meteorite wants to be E2 and have mastery for this strategy, since she needs high attack to damage the crushers, as mentioned at 8:12. I don't think Hoshiguma would work since Liskarm was needed for her arts damage at 8:07 to finish off the top crusher. As for defenders, Asbestos S2 could probably do the job, but I'd just use an arts guard in that position.
It's not recommended to copy the bombing strategy if you don't have the core operators at a high level/skill level.
@@kevin427 It is the only thing I need to be able to complete it. Dur-Nar would it work instead? Because, I could get to Asbestos easily
My Meteorite and Firewatch have a good level, the problem is still my need for Liskarm and a Defender healer
Durnar probably won't work, since her range won't be able to hit the first defender (8:05). Asbestos gets a range extension during S2 and will be able to hit it. She also has high res and can take hits from the arts drones pretty well.
Using meteorite E2 level 30 with skill level 7 was enough for me, but then again I'm using E2 Angelina to handle the hard waves and also both Silverash and Lappland aiming towards the middle to help kill the drones. Also E2 level 40 blue poison for her to survive the arts master drones.
I get to around this point and fail, I will try this again this week, I did the math and it's gonna take me like 20-30 days of farming to E2 and Max the characters I like to use out lol but first I will focus on these specific units, I am also deciding between Ifrit or Angelina first
Just a heads up, the operators and levels needed are pretty flexible. Even if you don't have the E2's he mentions, different E2's you might have can work. For example, I did the ifrit strat, and was able to make it work with an E1 lvl 70 ifrit (and probably couldn't done it with an even lower lvl ifrit) because I had a E2 ptilopsis buffing my team.
Damn , i wish i have ifrit , only have eyja as my 6" Art damage dealet.
@@randomnoob4792 personally I think eyja is more solid then ifrit, her 3rd skill is strong in this level. And I don't have both :'(
@@aidilaidil2488 let me guess , u have chen
@@randomnoob4792 I dint have her too , dude Ur hurting me right now :')
Which skill would you recommend for Saria?
skill 1 if her level is low. When maxed out use skill 2.
@@Just3c Thank you!
Can I replace Matterhorn with Gravel?
Because shes just staying here in my base doing nothing except freeloading. Only used her once on certain Story mission with E1 LV1.
Gravel for defend is nono she only block 1 but if it for bomb sacrifice yes
@@haroharoid thats what I wanna use her for, a bomb bait lel.
@@77Yuki If you are seeing Gravel as a defender, then you are seeing and using her entirely wrong. She is a Fast-Redeploy unit and the only one out of the 2 characters in that department.
There is a reason why her skills are useable in the first couple of seconds and literally being one of the cheapest cost out of the entire cast of characters so far.
@@cjqcresent292 soo she cant be use as bomb sacrifice?? thats the only way I wanna use her for in this Annihilation, deploy her, bait bombs, then die.
@@77Yuki Like what the other guy said, if it's just to bait the bomb, then yeah why not?
I have E2 Exu & Plat, and every other needed operator. Where do I place them? I sometimes have trouble killing the drones in time (doing silverash strat)
I have Exu with 3rd skill at bot, with Lappland below her facing upwards, and high level medic like silence behind her, she is pretty much safe there as long as you can properly time the extra heal for her when A2 drone shows up. before i have ifrit, i put Plat at the third row from top right most slot. This strat won't need to bait the bombtail. With ifrit in my team, my Plat is 1 slot to the left while 1 aoe medic is infront of her. Since i havent E2 my Plat, to be safe i had to use someone like Gravel to bait the bombtail.
Kim Chuan How come 3rd skill? Does it make it more reliable to kill everything?
All 3 skills are good in their own way, you just need to find which ever suits you most. Skill 1 provide consistent damage all the way. Skill 2 allowed you to time your burst damage during hard fight. Skill 3 provide highest burst damage among the 3 skill, with a setback that it's auto cast, which could easily ruin your timing when the skill is actually needed but is on cooldown. As long as you have operators that can provide SP charge like Ptilopsis to shorten the downtime of Exu 3rd skills, 3rd skill should be a better choice since it's the highest damage.
I've tried ifrit team but with some low lvl unit, i got no silence, my healer Gavial is E1 lv 40+ skill 2 lv4, I place her on the down side, she can not survive when no one in front of her, should I lvl up or change her?
Gavial is very bad for this annihilation, she has heal overtime but this annihilation is all about burst healing. If you can only use Gavial I recommend having her at Elite 2 Lv30ish with Lv.7+ skill.
@@Just3c Oh I see, I think go with Perfumer + Ptilopsis? Ptilopsis already E2, Perfumer E1 lv20. but both skill 4, is it good enough? if not Myrrh? i did not lvl her.
for AOE medic, ideally you want them to have 300+ attack, for ST medic you want them to have 500+ ATK.
Meteorite first skill is the basic skill or the E1 skill, I don't understand this part :/
"basic skill"
can I use Blaze instead of Vigna?
where do u buy that jessica costume she looks sick
That's Jessica Oath skin :)
Ikr? She looks cool, but she looks “sick” at the same time lol
Does Lappland work as a arts melee dps in the top lane?
yes, she will need fairly high level and at least level 7 skill.
How exactly do you level skills to level 8? Do you need to first E2 the operator?
Yes and then you can upgrade your operator skills mastery to until mastery 3
yep, E2 first and use the training room in base for Lv8-10 skill
skill lvl pass lvl 7 need E2. and what he mean lvl 8 are lvl 7 M1, lvl 9 = 7M2, lvl 10 = 7M3
@@prd6617 oh, so that's what it meant, thanks.
On a side note, M2 and M3 skills need level 2 and 3 training room respectively. Most operator is strong enough with M1 skill, generally is better to save those high tier materials to rank up more operators before going for M2 and above, the upgrades just took so much of high tiers mats.
Hi, I'm just wanting to increase my orundum cap for now. I can follow similar compositions, but around how low a level can I get away with for just 1 manual run? (I'm not that good a game, and I just want some guidance if I can try to chase 1650-1700 cap this week)
How high level must Ifrit be here?
I'm planning on e2 meteorite with just lv7 without training. Do you think it's enough if I use the previous video's strategy?
yeah you can just use her at bottom, but you will need her skill at higher level to take out the crushers
I tried that with Angelina behind her... Meteorite wasn't doing too hot against the two difficult waves. Angelina was doing most of the heavy lifting dealing with Crushers and Drones.
@@memetic_hazard metorite can't hit that hard if she's alone because of sp cost of her skil.Try to put her together with sp battery ops.
It can be enough if you use her with another strong operator on top lane like Silver Ash or Eyjafjalla.
Oh kfc skin :( wish it would cometh
can firewatch with S1 replace jessica in the bottom lane?
no, Firewatch will leak drones early due to her targeting mechanic.
No,firewatch'll atk enemies with low def first use sniper with atk aerial first for kill drone
FW is terrible as an anti air unit, i tried. She is only there to nuke stuffs with buff army
I frit
No more Azur lane? :(
