Anyone find the font horrible small and hard to read on a regular iPhone? Even on the iPad it is not very readable. Looks nice on a emulator though.

The cache clearing stuff isn't working on my S10+. Hangs a black screen before getting to the log in screen. Having to redownload the game every time. Super fun.

I got SilverAsh from the general banner, so I can start with SilverAsh + another 6*, but I'd really like Eyja, so I'll keep rerolling for now. If I give up, I saved it, at least I'll have a decent account to start with
Just gonna play on the SilverAsh + another TBD 6* account, don't feel like diving this deep into reroll hell, I did like 10 or so rerolls so I'm probably out

I wanted to try and avoid rerolling and it looks like it's not an easy option on IOS anyway....

Rolled Silverash as my 6 star, used those 3 single tickets and got Shining as my second six star, Aight that's good enough.

Presentation / UI is slick as, really well done.

Gameplay is pretty meh so far, but I'll see if it gets better / grows on me.

There's no way the inconsistency of how text skipping works here is intentional yikes

Yeah that's annoyed the shit out of me.

Has anyone figure out how to interact with your operator on the base for the weekly mission I been clicking on them to no effect

edit: turns out it's just like GFL, just need to wait for daily reset and click them then

Got Siege (who I wanted) on the tutorial single pull and Silverash on the guaranteed 10-pull. I think I'm good to go.

After very many hours of rerolling I finally get 2x6* pull. Siege and Angelica and some 5* too.

Rerolling is fast on Android (~5mins per try), but damn it took many tries. Now to actually play this :)

So I'm planning on doing some rerolling on Android, but I haven't really rerolled in a gacha game before. Do I log in as a Guest? Do I do a Yostar account?

Yes you use Guest and then:

Android reroll:

1. Settings -> Google -> Ads -> Reset Advertising ID
2. Settings -> Apps -> Arknights -> Delete Data (it deletes that ~30Mb or something not 1.3Gb).

Got Croissant from the guaranteed 5* or better on the normal banner. Feels like by far the worst of them as she's equivalent in performance to 4* tank options and straight up replaced by the easily obtainable Liskarm. I suppose at this point as F2P(ish) its best to hold headhunting tickets and currency for the next banner?

Well I somehow messed up the second step because it had different phrasing that what you wrote and I accidentally deleted 700mb of data and now the game won't launch? 😅

Time to redownload. Lol.

EDIT: To any Android 10 users, it's 'Clear Cache' instead of 'Clear Storage'.
EDIT2: Or not. It didn't reset the data...
EDIT3: I have no idea how to do step 2 in Android 10. I've had to delete the game every time.

Where do you get or how do you use the 5 star voucher? I collected everything in mail but don't see an inventory or anywhere to find the voucher

Click "Depot" on mainpage (lower right corner). Then go to the right item (voucher) and click it, it has "Use", click the "Use". I chose Defender Liskum, since Iam lacking defenders and heard it is good.

Can someone tell me how to get a Drill Plan to complete my final pinboard mission of stage 1? I feel like I am missing something obvious here.

anyone know what the proper way at leveling your unit?
I think I don't have a clue here

My educated guess is that spam LS2 when you can and if you can clear LS3 spam it over and over again.
Also I think Yellow cubes (the rare ones) should be saved (and used) for stamina instead of changing for Red cubes.

Someone who knows better should chime in and tell their thoughts :).

Edit: Also day change just happened. So its 13:00 EET.

DON'T CLAIM Closure mail (Message from Closure) we just got, it has 100 Sanity (stamina), one has 6 days (or prolly one week) time to collect it.

If you are using an emulator to reroll, remember to use the macro function to record it. You will not have to do much, its a pretty predictable game from what I have seen so far so it is easy to record. The only thing that varies sometimes is the free unit you get, which makes a macro get stuck depending on what slot it takes in your inventory. But you can just make a second macro that picks up at that point.

Had a Siege appear from the initial free single roll, too bad the big 10 roll was bad!

Reroll maybe 10 times and never get 2 6*. I keept reading the banner also guarantee a 5* but I rarely see it. I guess I will just start with Ash.

Game is genuinely great. Only downside is that the gameplay is very involved and so requires a lot of attention - but that's because it's super fun. It's probably the first time a gacha game has provided the level of gameplay satisfaction of a non-gacha game - usually they are lot simpler and are more about collecting stuff, but not this one.

Got a 6* on the standard banner. Which was a dupe of a non-banner unit. I like Siege and I'm sure getting promotion currency is great. But as always its hard to get excited about a dupe. I'm also honestly tempted to restart just so I dont have a string of gibberish as my name.

So as you can get a 6* from the single tutorial pull is anyone going the whole mind melting hog for a "hardmode reroll" i.e. 6* on the single pull, 2 6* on the guaranteed pull and a 6* from the 5*+ banner ? Can't imagine its worth the mental distress

If you have some powerful PC you can just macro like 16 instances of NOX to do the reroll. Time to buy the new 32 core Ryzen CPU and goes with 128GB RAM.

Nice, got Hoshiguma from Recruiting. The "tags" system it uses feels novel, even if there isn't much to it mechanically.

I'm on android 10 as well and the clear cache/data method gave me a black screen.

This one worked without having to redownload the entire game:

From reddit
To prevent black screen crash on Android: back up the file in "Android > obb > com.YoStarEN.Arknights" called "main.38.com.YoStarEN.Arknighta.obb".

Then follow procedure: quit the app, reset google ads ID, now clear data for Arknights, then restore the file from your backup, and start.

Worked on S10+. You will need to reinstall first if you are stuck at black screen right now

Just copy the obb (I placed it outside the game folder) > start the game normally and reroll as guest > you didn't get what you wanted > reset google ad ID > clear game data > copy the obb back to the game folder > start the game

I didn't bother rerolling. Enjoying the game so far, but it's still early. Let's see how events and stuff shake out.

Yeah same. I'd hate my life doing that.

Also, a question: what are the... Triangle units supposed to be for? I get most of the other units but those seem so random with a wide range of skills. Eg. I have a unit that can drag and enemy and one that's a tank? Both as triangles...

they're specialist class. You can click on the icon bottom left on a character page to see a description of each class.

I'm currently on reroll 34, my goal is getting a 6* from the non guaranteed banner that ISNT a defender, healer, or from the newbie banner.

I've gotten 2 defenders and 3 healers so far :(

A key strategy that I'm noticing a lot of people aren't utilizing (and I wasn't myself until I found out how OP it is) is sacrifice-blocking with your Guards. Melantha is especially good at this. She has a ton of HP and deals a ton of damage, so she can soak a tanky or hard-hitting unit for 5-6 seconds while the rest of your team either smacks on the enemy or cleans up the rest of the map.
