#arktober 6: Ring A good excuse to doodle Cantabile #arknights

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Rolling on Fortune’s Weave credits after 141 hours and only just discovering that Sofia shares the same EN voice actor as Cantabile so I guess I have to draw her now

Passenger module was the only "crown" reference that liberis have off the top of my head Normally I'd have been more stubborn and spent extra hours on the lighting but to keep myself sane for daily work I did not for this sketch- I simply do not know a proper process for quickly doing this lol

I don’t tryhard enough with birds anymore for it to truly matter, but I do still get giddy when 5* bird gets another new utility. Hell yeah I can tremble things now + have a beeswax pillar

Currently working through FE Fortune’s Weave so haven’t been drawing much, but rest assured that I will eventually be drawing not arknights for the first time in a long time lmao

I have stubbornness if nothing else- going on over 6 years of drawing on and off. Just not with much discipline, hence not much improvement in my view…

It’s not too late to draw a swimsuit in September right 🤔

Was gonna post one of those 2025 > 2026 art comparison things but then I looked closely at the old and new art and thought that the difference was too little (in my opinion) for me to brag about it sincerely

121

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Tried some new processes, still took entirely too long for the output, tunnel visioned on small stuff while overlooking important things like, uh, light sources... well, I published a drawing. It's something.

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) the only solution is playing 5* [niche] only when the 6* get too strong

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

There’s also 3 extra birds if you disable friend borrows for blaze, suzuran, and lappland, as well as the special Reserve Op Supporter from Pith’s strategy

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

There are enough birds in Stronghold Protocol to form a viable boss killing team lmao (though scaling to this point is impossible without using non-birds)

Battletech is destroying my productivity in both art and video script writing

The immediate redeploy does bypass her DP cost but still respects her redeploy timer instead of ignoring it Without redeploy time reduction (Soul Escort squad IS5, Law and Ritual coin IS6, etc) it’s a mildly useful gimmick; with timer cuts you can chain levitate mobs forever using other FRDs

I don't have much of my own art posted here on blu sky. I just re-downloaded Arknights on my PC as well as Endfield so here is a really old drawing I did of Ptilopsis 🥺

You got rosmontis IS mod, you can at least cope with snipemed on every IS 🙂

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I’m of unsound mind and never go below hardest available difficulty with bird IS, but yeah past a certain total of ops even relatively small niches can probably at least do low difficulty IS ED1 semi consistently as long as not too many class vouchers are completely dead

020

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

If anything I think IS is just as iterative in strategy as normal maps- experimenting with other squads and starters, building out F1 and F2 map solutions, draft options for specific maps en route… it just takes a lot more time than grinding out a normal stage, especially if hunting for ED 4 and 5s

020

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

-well as ending bosses. I basically have a default solution for every map in IS5 and IS6 with the birds after countless runs, but other niches might be too small to be able to get to that point, or lacking power for early floors- bird runs wouldn’t be as easy without Raidian and Archetto.

120

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

With modern IS design focusing on (relatively predictably) scaling the crap out of your ops/relics to face the superboss at the end, the baseline for a “highroll” is lower than ever- the real challenge for niche IS is more having the right tools and flexible drafts to deal with maps en route as-

120

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Smaller niches I get not trying IS with, but there’s other huge ones like Feline and Sarkaz only that also have broad utility and a few IS mods… ain’t never seen anybody play IS with them only

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Also this isn't even the hardest version of Stasis- thhe "Wage War" variant is all but impossible until Orchid Alter releases, and even with that the highroll necessary to win is going to be immense...

050

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

As far as I know, no other niche has cleared this (well maybe they have on CN, who knows), but niche players just don't tryhard IS in general... granted, birds are in a very unique position with the wide, versatile roster and access to 3 (4 in CN) IS modules... so maybe that's why.

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

D18 Stasis (IS6 ED5) has been defeated with only birds! It's a hellishly long 48 minute recording that is missing the context of the entire run and decisions leading up to the fight, but surely that's not too much to ask from a script, right? Surely! #arknights

They got ingame pixel art in CN Arknights now

I found a comically oversized desk in Endfield

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I have stumbled into generationally good luck in IS6 and must now wait a week for Irene IS module to release to hopefully have enough firepower to defeat Shuo :P

040

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Anyways, not sure if ED5 D18 win is even possible with birds, probably gotta wait for Irene IS module and learn more routing optimizations before I proceed. Getting to the prerequisite fight a couple times really demonstrates the necessity of highrolling or die trying with the birds…

050

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Feel like in most parts of the game, difficulty hasn’t increased with overall operator power (which is a good thing!)… except for max difficulty IS. Most of those additional D18 enemies are nuts (Routeweave Net effect as a difficulty modifier is really cool btw)

140

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Alt ED2+ED4 D18 with birds done, Proxy Squad is crazy lmao Overall impression of post expansions IS6 is that it’s really really fun when you highroll and godawful if you don’t, which is exacerbated by the fact that HG is clearly expecting me to draft Hoshi Alt and Silveralt over Irene and Pass

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

I should add that it's 80 relics without any knowledge of the relic farming meta/routing for maximum relic count, which is absolutely insane. Imagine how many I could get if I actually knew what I was doing instead of unga bungaing into every shop I see to buy out its stock at 50% price

050

pengii @pengod.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

what do you mean the coins do this now. why can i reroll literally all my coins at once (and relics in lost in found). why am i walking into wang fight on d16 with 80 relics and fia is dealing 102k damage every S2 use. answer me hg
