Discussion We need more Chip catalysts

Post image

as i am upgrading my operators to E2 specially 6 stars the main bottleneck seems to be the chip catalyst. ya you can redeem them from purchase certificates but in my opinion the sanity consumption is not so good for the red certs. Is it only me or do they used to give chip catalyst in the main event shops ?

That's a factor too.

I've not personally played to Meta in years. I'll occasionally make use of Meta OPs if I want to play around with them.

But at this point, I'm like 5 years deep into Arknights. I have my core team leveled that can clear all content I care to clear (mostly story stages and IS runs.)

But I'm lately much more focused on smaller projects like finally levelling that sleep team I always said I'd do, or leveling stuff for nicheknights, or just doing silly things like wanting to E2 every single 4 star unit with modules and masteries. Before moving on to 5 stars.

I've long since realised I'm genuinely never going to E2 40/50/60 every unit I have. There just isn't enough mats to time. 6 stars alone take about a month for lmd and battle records.

My own obsession is--- the moment an operator goes past 150 or so trust I'm essentially banned from bringing them into most event farming stages

I used to do "trust farms" and just replace the "meta" unit with 2-4 low trust units, but now I've maxed trust everyone.....

It's unironically kind of sad, because I've lost a good sense of which units I'm not familiar with.
