It's not essential to follow the steps perfectly.

Kyo don't feel bad about focusing on your studies. Events stick around for a while, we all have plenty of time to get stages cleared. There is no rush to get guides out on day 1 if you have important IRL things to focus on
I've definitely gotten better at the game over the last year, but there are still rare moments where I look at a map and my brain just says: "No."
Thank you again!
My brain say: "jt's kyostin time!"
Same I got to ex cm 7 till I looked at the layout
Kyo: Sorry guys if I'm doing this late, but I'm having a lot of exams in real life, so I want to focus more on studying, since this is really important
Me, in the middle of my last year exam session, watching his guide: that's true
so true
Same bruh
I can feel you bro
Gl with your exams
I've been suffering for a whole day clearing this stage and I actually managed to do it. And you've uploaded the easy clear a few hours later, I feel like my 300 losed sanity is crying somewhere. Take care with your exams, the guy who can solve so many hard stages will definetely pass with flying colours!
Did the enemy is chalenge mode has more HP? I can win on normal mode with eyja and silverash but when it on chalenge mode the enemy is always leaking.
@@agustdofficial8945 Yes, challenge mode buffs enemy stats (10% if I am not mistaken) so their HP will also increase
@@agustdofficial8945 Most enemies get 10% increase in health, attack, and defense, though specific cases have greater increases
@@agustdofficial8945 some enemies buffed, some are not
@@pramanakumalaputra507 its suck they didnt mention it in the mission description, i think im gonna skip EX-8, im using all my training ticket and never win.
Every other guide insisted that the cars alone could hold all the enemies by the bottom by themselves without any operators, but that strategy never worked for me. This is the first guide that would seem like it would work for me, if I hadn't already cleared it. Still, I appreciate it.
Godspeed, Kyostin.
To reliably stall with cars you need the stun extension mod, the cold mod and the launch CD -50% +2 dp mod. Otherwise the cars come out too slowly and there's gaps between the chain cc effects.
Just in this stage, my phone lagged like a PPT presentation. Hearing you say "activate Melantha skill" was music to my ears.
As always, thank you kyo-sama.
The problem here is that Pozёmka HAS to be 90 lvl AND M3, or her dps wont be enough to kill the boss
Yes so much agree
Add silverash to help.... probably work
I tried many times even pozyomka max level, m3 sometime boss got run away...
Blame minimalist though
Become boss : buff dogge
Become ops. : nerf dogge
Nah lvl 90 isn't necessary... if you have high module. I found a Pozёmka level 61 mastery 3 module level 3 - worked fine
@@Walkman100 I found a lvl 90 pozemka, S3M0, module lvl 3 and it didn't work :')
@@Avery_37 I used my e2 lvl63 Pözy S3M3 with lvl3 module and it worked, you just have to time it right with THRM-EX.
Kyo: "This stage is pretty simple
me: "Oh sweet! A final stage that's easy!"
Kyo: "okay now PAY ATTENTION, timing is VERY IMPORTANT HERE"
my adhd ass: "...ah."
Hmm i have seen this week other guides but finally someone that actually uses the cars as hard carry (and only 1 6 star instead of 2, pozy x surtr). Have already cleared all cm maps with the exception of this one by my own so will try your strat whenever i have the time! thanksss
Man, thank you so much! You're a life-saver. Had to modify it a bunch because I only had Schwarz, not Pozy and I didn't want to burrow one, but got it following your advice on the fifth try!
If you are slightly lacking damage can try brining Elisium instead of Myrtle and make sure to time his skill with poziomka
Thanks for taking time to make this strat while doing your exams. Take care Kyo!
Thank you for the guides Kyo as always and good luck on your exam!!
After hours of trying I finally gave up, to hell with this.
Thank you so much!
I didnt have THRM-EX, but my Pozemka was at S3M3, but no module yet (dang trust). So I replaced robot guy with a friend's schwartz, with the module passive that buffs sniper damage, and that buff let my Pozy kill the drone!
Schwartz also works to replace a caster when killing the giant red robots on the sides.
Hoping you get good results king! Thanks for this!
Thankyou as always kyoo! 🔥
Thank you for the guide as always! Good luck in your exam!
thank you for taking the time to make this, while being busy irl.
for those of us who dont have the robots. Warfarin will work IF your Pozy are high enough level. Just remember to retreat warfarin and bring an extra medic in place of the robot. Good Luck
My goat, thank you for uploading this
Thanks you KyostinV, u r my savior!!!! I hope ur Exam got the best score!
Good Luck with your EX-AM CM Kyo.
Dont worry Kyo ! I also had exams as well very bad timing as usual from Yostar
Hayyss
but I hope you're all good there
always stay safe and healthy !
while i really appreciate the guide, they helped me tons!!
But, focus on studying, Kyo! That's something that will impact your life way more than our comments and likes on YT.
Good luck!!! :)
Thanks for the video! And thanks for making time in your schedule.
It never crossed my mind that the metal dudes were meant to be used like that lol
GL w/ exams kyo! and thanks for the guide!!
School is always more important. Glad you're keeping focused friend. 👍
I wish you only the best of luck for your exams man. Thank you so much!
I'm new and f2p but luckily I got this 🐋 on my friend list. Dude got full pot maxed module pozy. My core team is utage e1 lvl50 😅. That way I don't need to drop down any healer and just 1 caster. Still have to repeat the stage over 5 times but managed in the end. Those last 2 cars are a pain in the arse
*Thanks for the guide Kyo* good luck on ur exam
Apparently it is impossible to complete this stage without THRM-EX or Justice Knight max with this squad.
I have Justice Knight and my ass has beaten
Ye, it is quite sad
i have neither of those!!!! whooo love to lose out
The GOAT is here 😭
Good luck on your exams!
Thanks for the guide. Good luck with the exams!
Good luck with your exams
Thanks for giving the guide even though you have exams, but you can focus now since you have done ic ex 8
kyo PLEASE take care of your own health & real life, it’s so much more important, you don’t owe us anything!!
Very appreciated based Italian Man

Playing CN server gives me a "forbidden knowledge" to tackle this stage
Give please
Good luck on your studies. Thank you and take care yourself.
Very great tactic. My applause!!!
Hope you do well on your exams!
7:35 Activate Melantha's skill now moment
this is officially my most hated event boss, so much bullshit - global range AoE arts damage, permanent AoE stun, shield, makes other enemies invisible and buffs the machine type enemies and it's a f***ing drone so it can't be hit by melee operators. it's either defeat it instantly or suffer unimaginably and I hate this type of bosses. I'm definitely not looking forward to fight it again in 2nd Trials for Navigator
Thank Kyou
Killed the boss with Mlynar + Eyja instead. The physical dodge of the durin enemies actually working in our favor for once.
Also if your cars are enough for healing, the medic defenders can be replaced with arts defenders.
Goodluck on your exam KyoStinGod
Kyo, I hope you have a little fun when planning those videos and doing them. We appreciate you so much! Take plenty of rest and focus on your studies. Your RL stamina is important too :)
I feel so so dumb when I play this game. thanks for the guide lol.
Thank you for this guide... This map is too much chaos for me >.
Thank youuuu I finally did it!! I'm a new player so I don't have the bots you suggested and I was struggling to make this work... Fortunately I pulled my own Pozyomka and could borrow a support... I went with Shamare 'cause I needed a way to quickly debuff the boss or else everything else would crumble (without the debuff it kept surviving with like... One hit worth of health and it was so frustrating T.T). So I followed this guide to the T till the moment you deploy the Gravel decoy for the boss ability, then put down healer 1, caster 1, healer 2 and THEN the debuffer (when the boss was under 40%). When the boss died, I retreated Shamare and put the second caster aswell.
The second problem came after managing to beat the boss... My Gravel is E0 lvl 45 'cause I didn't manage to level her up yet so I couldn't stall the cars at all... I just ended up directly deploying the defenders (and some healers and casters) to block the path and have them freeze to death TwT (I also have max pot E2 Cantabile that helped where my low level Gravel couldn't)
Again, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ now just need to complete the rest of the missions now eheh ........ 🥲
Do your studying! The arknights community can wait. Good luck on your exams!!! Give your best!!
I thought I can use this strat but I cant since I need max pot thermalx. goodluck on your exam kyo
mine is like pot 2 and i killed the boss with a lv 60 pozy with warfarin
Good luck on your Exams Kyo brother.
Even with this guide Im losing my sanity, literally
This guide needs Pozemka's S2. My support list does not give me any E2 operator. I cry
Giving you all my banner luck for you exams and I hope you pass with great numbers!
Uhh, Finally did it. Thanks Kyo. Don't know why, but those stupid whiskey-Grade Waker we're it getting Frozen like the rests. Don't know if it's RNG or what. Had to use Mudrock to get the last one. But I finally did it!
Drop Eyja on middle, burst down surfers and %90 of the stage is done.
I struggled more on previous stage. The explosive slug cars.
for those interested, E2L60 S3M3 Eyja can't kill all of them in a single skill activation on CM, so be careful out there. I'm not sure even E2L90 can do it in a single burst, you might need to do it twice
@@beatyoutoapulp or add warfarin
uhmm why lv 90 also equiped module Pozemka cannot take down the drone like the video ^^ like it just 3/4 heath bar ^^ im just doing the normal stage ^^ somethings wrong?
probably thermx not being max pot
@@cochi1921 that bad :< like really bad, i try the same tactic on my main account and it worked, but on my second one is uhhhh i dont get it ^^
Anyone else ever get frustrated how the map preview doesn't change for challenge mode to show you where the restricted tiles are being placed?
Good luck mate
Goodluck on your exams bro! Currently having exams too
This man know too much
idk what im doing wrong but pozemka ain't killing the boss, which leads to the boss killing my casters
Does the boss have slightly increased hp on the challenge mode? My Pozemka melted it in normal but leaves it at one shot from death on the challenge mode by doing the exact same strategy
The HP of every mobs increase in challenge mode thus makes it harder as the name 'challenge' mode
@Kai Thanks for the info! I've never actually noticed that or had it be an issue before and I've been playing nearly 3 years 😅 my poz doesn't have her module and that's what was making the difference
The guide is very good but ah, I just noticed that Kyo's squads are names S E G S.
Lmaoooooooo
look like i actually need THRM-EX or justice night. Warfarin buff is simply not enough to kill the boss.
I hope your exams go well!
gl dad
It seems like everyone is using Pozy for killing the drone and the only one I can borrow is level 30 S3M3 and she cannot kill the boss on time even with S2M3 Skalter. Tried using other characters to buff her but it seems like I have a lot of dp and deployment limit issues the weird part is That I was able to do it in normal mode but I cannot do it on CM mode even though it should have the same Hp. I guess I will try after finding a better Pozy because no way I will be able to raise mine in time.
All enemy stats increase by 10% in CM mode, on top of whatever the challenge is stated.
@@GoGoGojira32 yep, just learned that. Tried with elusium as support but It was still not enough and I cannot seem to be able to drop something like silverash to help kill that thing. It was pretty close so I might be able to do It if I manage to hit the drone twice with SA skill but It will be hard.
@@Scj10 If it's pretty close and you can spare a slot for THRM-EX, he might provide the extra damage you need.
I managed to find pozy max lv pot 4 s3m3 with module lv 3 and still can't kill the boss on time. I also tried with shamare doll debuff but still can't kill it on time
@@GoGoGojira32 finally was able to do It, had to befriend someone with a better Pozy. I was using THRM-EX and It was not enough, I think something like warfarin would have worked but It is hard to deploy her early enough. Pozy module was almost a must to clear the CM I think ( I also used Skalter S2M3 so that probably helped a lot)
For some reason, any pozy I bring even if maxed can't defeat the 1st phase of the boss ... I'm really confused
having the same issue but my guess is close to the thing about my therm, mine has only one pot and maybe thats why poz (even 90 full skill m3 + typewritter can´t defeat him at first phase. Im not sure about using warfarin instead therm, im really confused too.
@@MXHLW7 Warfarin works, I killed the boss with a therm pot2 and pozy lvl60 s3m3 with the help of warfarin's s2m1 (not sure if m1 changes anything)
@@cochi1921 ok, I'll go warfarin m3 lvl 20 (lack of resources) tomorrow, did a run with her on normal stage and it worked without E2 and also without M#.
She worked awesome with m2. Nearl blocking left side and using warfarin instead one medic, two flag vanguards (myrtle s1m3 / Elysium E0 S1 lv4) just deploy warfarin to the top on the left side after the second med defender. Everything else is the same.
10:49
Kyo : Oh shi* not good.
I can't even pass like 40 times..
Before watching this guide I was killing boss' first phase with Schwartz, Ash, Pramanix and Skalter. Pozёmka can do it alone? Crazy
i don't have thrmex potentials so even a level 90 m3 pozemka support doesn't do enough damage to kill the drone phase for me. i ended up using ifrit a tile below pozemka to reduce def but that tile isn't available in challenge mode :(
I did it! You mad fckin’ genius!
damn, i kept failing on the early point because my vanguard didnt generate dp fast enough so can deploy my defender in time. Is it because i'm using elysium instead of myrtle? I read at her skill and it seems there is not much different in cooldown. I can still mitigate it by using 2 fast redeploy, but i'm somehow still fucked at mid point because my defender got beaten by the big robot
I hope you do well in your exams ❤❤
My support pozemka isn't good enough to kill the boss before it activates the stun field
Oh this video is pre-Mlynar. that explains it
are there any good replacements for thrm-ex? somehow never ended up with one yet
warf most likely and also ely can help with the attack speed talent
Have you not reached chapter 7 yet? You get a free one pretty early on in there. If not, he mentions justice knight as another option. If you have neither, you could try squeezing in a hexer near the boss but you'd have to be careful not to cause pozy to get hit by the aoe effect.
I finished ch5 before this event started, guess Il push ch7 for it
@@アブドー IC thanks for the suggestions!
Can confirm that Warfarin S2 works, even without masteries, since my THERM-EX is only pot1 here: gonna work on that.
kyo.. i still cant kill the bos. already bring pozy lv 90 lv 3 module and with healer which boost 30% dmg.. but still cant defeat the boss.. i am not on cm yet, on normal one.. but still cant kill it. is robot talent need to he max ? i only had that robot with no talent.
maybe im late but
nice squad name, s e g s
im having so much trouble cuz i dont have a support M3 Poze, level 90 with module 3 but no mastery... its not enough to kill the boss in time
This stage is insanely hard without Pozy, ffs.
this stage does not seem "pretty simple" lmao, with multiple precise timings
also e2l70 pozy with therm AND justice wasn't enough
how do you use justice knight with this strat since i dont have thrmex 😭
Place justice knight besides Pozyomka facing up. Remember to place it at the exact time as THRM-EX in the video. When the boss do Red AOE attack (you can see red circle below the boss), retreat Justice Knight so Pozyomka will be not hit by the AOE attack.
The duration of buff rom Justice Knight is 10s - 20s after deployment (pot 1 - pot 6), so you don't really need to keep it in battlefield until the boss is defeated.
Why do all the guides for this level require Pozemka, as if she was given away for free and I'm the only one who missed the distribution? ( I feel very sorry for the fact that I'm like the only one who sits without her.
friends
Dude I feel ya. I dont know what Black Magic Kyo is using; I was lucky enough to get Poze, but mine isnt doing even half of the damage Kyo's is....
Its also kinda bad boss design of "if you dont have this limited super rare operator, go fuck yourself."
My pozy cant kill the boss what am i doing wrong? Pozy is E2 Lvl 69 S3M2 Module lvl 3. am i maybe using therm-x wrong? should i wait till the shield is gone to use him?
I have a question, Thrm-ex max pot is really essential in this guide or no? because why the boss always survived with low hp while it's in aerial mode even I'm using pozemka with module & m3 but my Thrm-ex is only pot 3, I totally copied all the things you did in this guide but it's always fail on me :
yes, THRM-EX max pot is important to give maximum debuff to boss so Pozyomka can kill the the first boss in one skill activation since CM mode increase enemy stats by 10%. You probably need to bring another operator to debuff the boss like Meteor and Justice Knight or operator to buff Pozyomka like Warfarin and Elysium. As Kyo's said in video, if you have operator that strong enough to kill the big guy, you can replace one medic and one caster (Ex: Utage E1 Level 60 + Gravel)
Damn, and here I was using 2 delete buttons (SA+Eyjax2) and Ifrit facing left and a whole ass ton of other 6*s to BARELY beat CM. This little midget walked so fast that my THIRD deploy of Eyja barely got any hits in on him, but her range extended just far enough to reach the tile left of the blue box and her last hits finished him off w a foot inside the box. Jesus.
I knew Kyo would come up with some non-brain dead strat, but I just wanted to beat it on my own first.
I ended up using SA and Lappland to the guard the left and right alleys, facing down. Saria and Mudrock the same place as the defenders in the 1st half of this vid, facing up.
My mistake was thinking I NEEDED to explode all the little dodging midgets, so I put 2 arrows facing down above the 2 defenders. The cars get turned up by the defenders and then come back down from the arrows. Had to use the explode and cool down -50% DP +2 chips so I had to manual the launches the entire time.
Thankfully, Eyja's 2nd activation took care of the Whiskey Car and all the remaining surfers on the left, so I could redeploy and overload the right by the time their machines showed up. The last rightside surfer took forever to die, and I believe if it weren't for Murdock's shield heals she would have died. All my healers were on redeploy cool down. Then when the final right Whiskey car came down, I just threw 2 heavy defenders on it until my other units returned and could be redeployed.
If I were to use Suzuran S3 instead of THRM-EX, where should I place her to prevent Minimalist's bombs?
O

my legend!
lvl 69 pozemka without module is too weak byt the smallest amounts. probably need lvl 75 ish for this to work. I'm also not sure if justice knight will work since you need to place him next to pozemka and the typewritter for them to get buff but with make the the enemy target him with the aoe.
You can keep Justice Knight until the boss start its timer for Red AoE then retreat Justice Knight so Pozyomka won't be targeted by the AOE.
Note : If you only have pot 1 Justice Knight, the buff only work for 10 seconds after deployment so you don't really need to keep it until the boss died. If you have pot 6, the duration is 20 seconds
Ok, I never know THRM-EX can hit arial unit with his self-detonation, my run would be so much easier if I know this lol
My Pozemka is lvl E2 60 s3m3 with module 3, will she work? Only robot I have is lancelot lol. My luck with robots till now is extremely bad in recruitement
Should be. I used a friend's E290 without module and managed to kill the boss (had to cast skill before deploying typewriter so they lined up better), I imagine the extra damage makes this timing much better.
If it doesn't work, you can use Meteor S1 to reduce boss defense or use Warfarin S2 to buff Pozyomka (Remember to retreat them before boss AOE skill or Pozyomka will die).
Edit : You can also push for Ch 7-2 to get THRM-EX for free
@@pramanakumalaputra507 I'll try with buff, as for 7-2, I still need to start ch 6 lol. Rn at H5-1
you can just borrow Lisa tbh...
@@EmperorsBlade My lvl 60 pozemka worked in normal and CM with Warfrain buff, Warfrain was E160 S7
So much harder than the other maps
Does the fucking drone have more life in challenge? I can kill it easy on normal, without even the explosive robot. Here it always survives with a bit of life, it's so frustrating
Hi, I had all the car parts and used support unit Lvl 90 Ponze with lvl 7 skills but still can't kill the boss.
