The thumbnail is by... myself! I've gotten back into drawing pretty recently, for those who haven't seen any of the community posts about it. This clear obviously isn't cool enough technically to merit a fancy thumb, but I was experimenting with some ways to integrate some doodles into thumbs and accidentally found a composition that looked similar to the hand on shoulder meme guy... so I figured I'd just redraw the entire thing myself. It's a chapter boss anyways- might as well give Theresa a little thumbnail respect.
we love to see a reignited passion for any and all crafts, and know the satisfaction of making use of hard work. in that sense it's an excellently crafted thumbnail, truly peak.
This was probably the hardest stage I've done so far in my Arknights career and seeing people say its new player friendly really says something about the smoothness of my brain.
as soon as I used arts damage for phase 2, theresa died in 10 seconds-ish, if you try to brute force this stage with phys damage on phase 2 like I did on my first 5 tries, you will suffer
I somehow managed to clear it on my 2nd try, with 4 or 5 ops dead in the stun, and me just simple using raw damage to kill her faster than she kills me :D
I'm see a Hellgur I upvote. But honeslty, props to you (and other masters) for beating this stage with limited numbers of Operators, while I threw everything I had at Theresa to win.
Nice thumbnail! Not gonna lie being able to actually read what she does makes the fight actually quite easy So I needed just few tries to kill her unlike on CN where she genuienly traumatized me
I genuinely have no idea what was going on in this fight and lost the first time because all my ops got perma stunned. When I won everyone was stunned again except for one character and I had to just hope and pray- and I nearly had a heart attack when she looked like she had a phase 3 and that one op got stunned as well "I might as well see what happens" "what do you mean I won???"
"it's very clearly meant for new players to beat" meanwhile my ass throwing everything i have and struggling for days to win because everyone is getting perma-locked en-masse...
Tbh idk if it is because it punishes you heavily for not speedrunning it/not knowing its mechanics. Dps check isnt really new player friendly id say. Heres the strat. The bubbles only spawn on operators in the 8 tiles around the boss, and have a animation when they do. Also the battle ends when the boss dies. If you avoid operators getting bubbled in the first phase then it wont appear in the second, and you can just speedrun the boss
@@Rui-san19 also use arts damage for phase 2, I tried brute forcing with phys dmg and debuffs, it does not work, unless I guess you have an insane buff army or smth
peakest thumbnail Theresa truly is the nicest person in the whole setting not only letting new players skip straight to her chapter, but also not making anything at all happen in her own stage HG shoulda done something similar to how they did steam knight have this stage be the "actual" boss stage and then an additional optional one that unlocks after it where Theresa gives us a proper test maybe have that extra stage be added after the event period ends to make it clear that's not part of the new player bit xd
Even AFKnights trampled this boss fairly quickly, although I did lose my first run because I didn't know what her gimmick was and also set up too far back so my squad all got trapped before they killed the second phase. The I just did it again but set every like 1 tile further forward and also swapped to ifrit because I realize the middle lane is just asking for it and cleared with 0 difficulty lol.
Yeah I was doing trial runs first time my evey op got rested. Next time I killed theresa with the power of friendship (silverash, Shwarz, Young master Zou Le and Ray) and Shu S3
I was so upset that her ability can be just ignored. I waa really scared at first, I didn't know what to do, then tried to retreat my op and... that's all, stage is basically over. Idk, they could nerf it somehow because it's actually very strong mechanic and can scare shit out of new players, but force to interact with it at least somehow. This is just sad.
Me who spent an hour on this boss because I didn't understand the stage mechanics despite being a 2 year player with a full E2 Squad 🙃 (in my defense I swear the info section didn't explain the orbs giving Theresa damage reduction)
The page does say that, but how it works exactly isn't that well explained "Orbited by , greatly reducing damage taken from their direction" doesn't really tell you that she'll take less damage if there are orbs between her and the DPS.
I don’t think they even explain the gimmick (properly) in the boss description. I legit squinted at it to try and glean *any* info but it felt like reading a yugioh card lmao
@shoes9570 No I'm genuinely asking, my point is not with birbs but with the 91 enemies cause me and all the clears i see defeated theresa before all 91 enemies appear

Great thumbnail my lord 👀✨

LOVE THE THUMBNAIL MY DUDE, please make more

@@higorgabriel2598 huh, she is weak to arts in her phase two? Bruh, i used Degen, suzu,warfarin, chalter and mlynar on her and it wasnt fast enough
@Someone-yb2xp she only has 20 res on phase 2 I believe, Reedic skill 2 and Viviana skill 3 melted her in about 10 secs

I didn't think to use a musha to body block the orbs tho, I bet hella or zuo le on s1 would've made it go by even faster LOL
@@yuujin8194 anybody can block the orbs, not just a musha
That thumbnail is goated
I should really start reading. This stage is hard when you don't understand.
Yeah I was doing trial runs first time my evey op got rested. Next time I killed theresa with the power of friendship (silverash, Shwarz, Young master Zou Le and Ray) and Shu S3

Can we please get the thumbnail image separately, I fucking love it.
Also what format is that I've seen it before like where does it come from
Sheeesh Hel's Russian accent sound so good
Passenger wasn't released in 2020. Title is misleading, video unwatchable.

I came from the thumbnail

lmao i did not know that about the cocoons...
right? i was playing seesaw with zuo le and surtr in phase 2...

Kino thumbnail and clear. Also any sense in making a clear where you defeat all 91 enemies with birbs?
Is this a joke I don't understand
Because I thought everyone in here is a birb
@shoes9570 No I'm genuinely asking, my point is not with birbs but with the 91 enemies cause me and all the clears i see defeated theresa before all 91 enemies appear
W thumbnail lol
