For those who don't know, Icebreaker Games is the co-op event of Arknights. This is its second time ever running on EN.

Aak, my wonderful goblin son, is the one source of friendly fire in the game. So if your co-op partner brings anyone you disapprove of.......................................

I've been way behind on this event and it'll probably be the second medal set i don't finish (first being Reclamation Algorithm) but I've only run into one person who also had Aak on their squad. And hopefully I don't give people anxiety because I keep my Aak on S1.

I think he should be able to Chaos

getting banned from the icebreaker gamesthe mindgames at the end are so funny

WIŠ'ADEL HUNTING: THE MUSICALWhile I don't share the main sentiment of the video (I don't really care about the affect of Wisadel on the entire metagame and don't think someone using her necessarily drains the fun from a map- especially when I'm playing to grind out clears/rewards more than simply to have fun)

i do appreciate the effort

also the first video hits on some fun stuff like the effects of targeting (i'm a bad aak mom i never bother to use his buffs much or learned the target priorities of S2/S3)

and that with max hp boosters or shining skill/talent you can do a lot to prevent aakicide, he can only do a set amount of damage that is reduced by defense

I have refused to play this with non-friends LMAO

I was thinking about asking someone to grind stages with me but............. I might not care enough to actually bother. Especially since it seems like 100%ing it (+the trimmed medal) is a journey in RNG.

i bring w to almost every battle (or pick her when i can) and thus far all my coop haven't met a single Aak. i'm lucky i guess XD

though that said she's pretty important for some of the early battles where you can only deploy like... 1-2 ops only. bastion defence looking at you

w practically helping to hold down the Fort..

Yeah, like I said, I don't get the anger of "wow now we can't play the map a FUN way" like... it's fine. I see a bunch of her and keep her out of my squad because then I don't have to pick. (Although Logos or Yu usually triggers a pick-off.)

haha yeah logos can be pretty broken. then there's lappland alter... she's so handy in picking off the map wide enemies

perish is the funniest arknights skill, i love it

I did definitely get screwed by not having any of the big fast-redeploy nukes on one of the gramophone maps

me, to the 5-stars only account I line-up swapped with and we just barely crawled over the finish line of the 3-star objective: i love you, i would die for you, get on my friendslist, i'm stockholmed and syndromed baby

they had me work with kafka, tuye, and puzzle as my only vanguard

anyways I got the outfit (big victory) and I'm only missing one node on the advanced stages (fukkin' gramophones)

If I play the alternate modes tonight then I can get at least the base medal set even if it's way too much to trim by getting all 50 titles.

we are all so bad at capturing gramophones

gramaphones stage is so hard! especially the second stage with those darn drones

first one just capturing one is easy enough. but five on the second stage?! i had trouble with that too

yeah, it's 5 on the second stage with the drones
