I swear to god the Shadow of the Frozen Sea makes me want to rip my hair out. Hands down the worst operation in IS4 to the point where it makes me want to take an elemental healer every single expedition just on the chance that this odious awful mission shows up and I can't avoid it.

Absolutely awful, terrible design, a map that feels like I need such a specific set up that is antithetical to the nature of this roguelite game mode that I want to build my entire selection process around "What if Frozen Sea" shows up.

Didn't expect to get invested in the event story but goddamn if it isn't one of the best stories arknights has put out so far and seeing Jessica finally find the one thing she wants to do and stand up for herself was absolutely cathartic, honestly right up there with Lone Trail for me even if the story felt too short

(also i know Woodrow wanted to kill Cliff for leaving him and their unnamed friend to die behind enemy lines during the revolutionary war but they definitely had something going on in the past right)

The EX stages didn't give me too much trouble except EX-5 but that was mostly just me being stubborn, i was surprised i managed to get EX-8 trimmed medal first try and then immediately got humbled by EX-8 CM, i tried it on my own for an hour or two before looking up a guide for it and turns out the solution was simply just spawncamp Cliff with Ceobe and Suzuran

Bit late to the party to talk about IS4 first impressions but definitely agree it's an improvement over IS3 and the foldartals and anti-interference index are fun mechanics, only managed to get to difficulty 7 rn but i'm slowly working my way to 10 for the trimmed medal

Don't have much else to say that hasn't been said better by other people so i'll just complain about how annoying the emergency version of "Where be No Mounts and Seas" is because holy shit it has been the most consistent run ender for me and also the Propagating Collapse paradigm effect on "March of the Dead" is literally an automatic loss because i swear the game is actually rigged to put the dominion on every ranged tile in that stage

Perfect? clears for the new SSS missions?

I'll be honest i didn't expect to fail the dps check on the ice cream truck boss but then i found out it only takes away 2 life points and i had no prior leaks so uh i guess i'll take it

I expected to get my ass beat on the lighthouse because i didn't raise any wandering medic and i refuse to borrow support eyjaberry but turns out the device provides enough elemental healing that i really only need to focus on bringing enough dps to get through the boss' shields

Golden Chalice is your consolation prize for getting screwed over when it comes to shops.

Literally nothing gets IS players as heated as debating over how good Golden Chalice is in IS4, it's kind of extremely funny.

I found out the other day that the Expeditioner’s Joklumarkar (IS4) OST is fucking awesome.

YES YES FINALLY I CAN FALL FOR IT

With some more time, experience, and EXTREMELY CRUCIALLY! More nodes on the upgrade tree unlocked. I can confidently say is4 is real good. The second boss is actually so much easier if you know the one trick to deal with him it's kind of ridiculous that the first boss is what it is. (It still kinda high key sucks ngl) I haven't gotten to ending 3 but after looking it up that boss seems like a fucking NIGHTMARE so I'm not looking forward to it. Fordotals are really great, the opening was horribly designed to make you progress through the tree so slowly without the lower difficulties even giving you silent squad, and there's a lot of cool operator options although the meta ops kinda feel as string as ever. BUT a lot of lower rarity ops are more helpful than ever so it feels like it balances out somewhat. It's kind of weird to say that I think is2 actually had the best bosses so far (cept highmore was better than BSL and a biiiit better than phantom I'd say? Mayyyyybe?) But mouthpiece is better than literally every boss in is3 and so far more than is4 too. Collapses level debuffs are frankly: more punishing than the mutations in is3 and you have less control over them which is frustrating. Crisis Trigger early on if you don't get a healer is particularly punishing, but the DP gen down, -aspd tiles, and collapsal bonus stats have also wound up with me losing runs just off of one level.
