How to Make Hellagur Good: Add 72% Sanctuary
IS-S-4 CM: 4 bird operators only
A harsh map to low op for birds, considering that every ranged tile is unsafe and none of my melee ops can actually survive the constant hitman spawns. Silence Alter neatly solves both of these issues with her passive Sanctuary damage reduction, low HP regen, and S2 granting up to a whopping 72% Sanctuary to ensure that Hellagur doesn't die off-skill. Even with all of that, things didn't exactly go to plan in this clear... but it's nothing some desperate Silence S2 activations can't fix.

Why Modules Matter

IS-EX-7 CM: 4 bird operators only Looking back at old clears and felt that while it was funny to use Irene S2 and Gnosis last time, EX-7 could probably use a 1 op reduction. This map is a good excuse to use Fia anyways, what with the single chokepoint and a good sweetspot tile. She's got a big damage bonus from her module, Totter can actually kill Agenir in one S2 use with his module, and I'm s...

IS-10: Hotspringmelon illustrated operators only Dang, it's been 8 months since the last Melon ops video. I was bored and felt compelled to do IS-10 with the small squad, seeing as how more interesting maps aren't possible due to red hitmen being much harder to kill. While there's definitely some tech to be done with Blacknight and Kazemaru, none of it really matters if it's impossible to survi...

IS-EX-8 CM: 4 Skade illustrated operators only Decided to go back to an old clear I really liked a year ago- a 9 op Skade run of EX-8 CM- knowing that modern advances in powercreep have made it much easier for this niche to blow up the map. Seeing as how every enemy filters through the central area, it's only natural for Executor Alter to just annihilate everything on the map. Rosa module also ...

ZT-EX-4 CM Archetto Solo I saw this clear listed on Arkrec while looking through bird records for ZT (90% of it is Magallan solos, mind you), and I thought that it was silly enough to be worth trying myself. 30 practice plans and 70 sanity wasted later, I finally got the clear- so it ended up being a fun map after all. The tuning devices are hilariously broken, granting 50 ASPD or 60% ATK/-10 A...
The Best Fia S3 Tile
Переглядів 4,1 тис.28 днів тому
ZT-EX-7 CM: 4 bird (sniper) operators only The EX maps have generally been pretty disappointingly easy, but EX-7 posed a decent enough challenge using only the sniper birds. Fia S3 is a rare optimal choice here due to the fact that the major enemies spend so much time idling in the middle of the map (a common problem with this event's map design), so having the constant rain of AOE damage is ha...
How long can you take to kill the Witch King?

ZT-10: 5* Birds Only (3 ops) A very lengthy map entirely due to my choice of strategy. In order to remove all teleport RNG from the Witch King reaching 50% HP and phase transition, I basically have to play P1 right up to the instant loss time limit. For P2, I then have to get the boss to just above 50% HP and then ignore him until everything else is dead... which also puts me right up against t...

H13-2: Bird operators only (7 ops) A short and intense map to contrast the unusual length of H13-1. It's impossible for low op birds to continuously deal with the blood slug rush if the altars are left alive, so it's up to Irene, Firewhistle and Cantabile to rush the payloads to the altars ASAP. Passenger's main contribution is (almost) killing the whip elites before any of them can even move. ...
Sometimes the 'Worst' Skill Is the Best One

H13-1: Bird operators only (6 ops) Since every relevant enemy on the map has high DEF and most of the ranged tiles aren't great for S3, Magallan's preferred skill for H13-1 is actually S2. The stationary defender mobs have 0 RES and are sitting ducks for the S2 drones, and Gnosis S2 can lock down whips in their range to produce a surprisingly effective crossfire. The high attack speed of the dr...

13-14 Adverse: 3 bird operators only Chapter 13 hasn't been treating Hellagur well. Lanes with infinite casters body him, he can't keep up with all the blood slugs, and the major elite enemies are things he just can't reasonably kill. On Adverse difficulty, the basic form of the whip elites have 1080 DEF... and the red ones have 1440. Even the with the most optimal conditions here in 13-14, Hel...
Fiammetta Trivializes These Casters

13-15 Adverse: 4 Bird operators only A lonely lane isolated from the others, at a distance no bird can reach... except for Fiammetta. Her S2's deceptively long maximum range allows her to instantly kill the bottom lane casters inside the blue box, preventing the altars from reviving them. This is especially helpful when you consider that there's no single melee bird that could solo the bottom l...

13-8 Adverse: 3 bird (sniper) operators only Chapter 13 has proven to be a very nice proving ground for Fiammetta's new module, as long-ranged true AOE burst damage on a sub-20 second cycle is quite useful to blast all of the blood slugs and casters to oblivion. More importantly, I can realistically use Fia without a medic now, as she'll never drop below 50% HP and thus retains a 30% Vigor ATK ...

DOS T-4: 4 bird operators only From an enemy and overall design perspecitve, T-4 is a very lame map. Literally only year 0 enemies and the threat is something that veterans will remember from playing 4-7 and HoSF back when those were brand new in 2020- exploding spider spam and stun snipers. I thought this would be pretty lame for a bird clear too, and planned on skipping a video for it... if n...

Design of Strife T-3: Bird operators only (5 ops) Wow, a perfectly 5x3 area with a consistent flow of low HP drones that can be easily one shot! Looks like a job for Fiammetta- with Archetto's assistance, of course. Archetto and Passenger can't solo this drone lane, but since Fia can hit every tile within her range with S2, she's more than capable of doing so. The rest of the team handles the C...

Passanger for the clutch 😂
Passenger is with a Y module... Is Y module, by any chance, better than an X module if you don't care about the sp-regen? Or is X module still better with ASPD and increased slow duration? I've always wondered whether increased duration of the bonus damage (from 3s to 4s, and S3 is 4s) is impactful or not...
X module is typically better, but in this case I wanted to maximize damage on cars and hitmen, so mod Y was used instead
Zuo Le is quietly studying the blade, learning from the mistakes of his elders
I'm wondering: why didn't you use Passenger skill on the limo, so the 3 enemies won't spawn? or was the attack too weak to finish them in one cycle all in all, very good clear
Silence's talent really works well with Musha guards
That last minion could have leaked if Passenger S3 didn't target it. Otherwise you should have waited to have both S3 charges to avoid RNG.
Hellashing opportunity
So proud of my girl firewhistle for holding it down at the end there
Sanctuary can stack?
Highest value overrides all others, so the 25% sanctuary from Hellagur mod X doesn’t apply while Silence s2 is active
It does stack with DR like juggernauts, guardian, and AH mods. Should have given musha DR smh
@@absolutelypallets7378Those "damage reduction" status aren't "Sanctuary", so they can stack on top of Sanctuary effect
Finally the birdknights is back
no totter :(
The ursus army's standard is to have 72% sanctuary off skill
*The Ursus finest*
Cooking with fire whistle it works more than you think
i actually absolutely adore Silence Alt. As a Rhine player she is SUCH a good op. Her and Quercus are absolutely amazing to use
"A SLIP OF THE MIND IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH"
That was a nice clear. I don’t think I’m using Silence Alter the way I’m supposed to.
silence keeps operators alive. if they are going to die, then you press the skill button and then they don't die. if they die anyway, then you just complain about it.
A previous iteration of this strategy actually got almost to the end... using Bryophyta. Unfortunately he cannot actually kill the last car and hitman by himself, so I had to switch to Firewhistle.
o7 Bryo, may one day we find a use for you
if only he could actually summon rocks…maybe he’d have a chance /slapped
S1 or S2?
@@adamvegas5951 S2 to keep Hellagur from dying while both his skill and Silence are on cooldown. Worked surprisingly well until eventually Hellagur died at the very end. Some other runs with him also had the trash mobs from cars exceed his block count, which isn't an issue with Firewhistle.
:((((( at least hes hot but damn does he suck
i like how totter is announcing where he sending the enemies to when he casts skill
Damn cheeky bro
Every time Silence says "don't act rashly" all I can think is the other operators saying "I DIDN'T ASK TO STAND HERE AND GET SHOT"
Silence Alter really is a godsend for this event
Skade would be proud😊
Tottering
I see a lot of Nicheknights clears of this stage kill Agenir in Spawn Must be nice to have Ops that can reach him 🥲
Totter is a 4-star, Erato is welfare, also, any E1 Artilleryman (Shira, Sesa, Meteor) or Deadeye (Ambriel, Firewatch, Lunacub) can reach him. Platinum with S2 could also reach him. They might not all have the DPS to kill him, though.
@@Vasharan Oh Sorry I probably should've been more specific I don't have any units that can hit him in my niche In general play I have a bunch of Units that can annihilate him Typhon, Rosa, Horn etc...
@@Vasharan u mean meteorite, meteor is a marksman sniper
So this is the priority module for Fia then? Also nice clear, I usually go for overkill rather than niche runs personally.
Yeah, having more ATK up from vigor and even more damage if you happen to hit blocked enemies from mod X is much better than 100 DEF ignore and a pittance of ASPD from mod Y. While most people won’t have to deal with using Fia without a medic, mod X lets her do just that as a bonus.
@@Pengod i see that's a good point, i mainly use her S3 since I like her infinite barrage with Mod Y, but ill try using her Mod X
totter sie-x but without the i
Totter but the o is i
@@shizukanakou7844 ah yes, my favorite operator, The Titter, with his sex module
That Croc guy proving that Silence S2 sanctuary buff is actually insane.
Yeah shes been my go to ops in this event cuz im lazy to place order my ops and the croc guy keep killing my range unit. Silence is such a saver
Very underrated for sure. Feels like a lot of people looked at S3 and entirely ignored S2, and then mostly decided against S3 while still ignoring S2.
I used Totter too! It's like Agenir's afk spot was made for him/besiegers

i might be misunderstanding the niche, but couldnt you use utage? after all she has the biggest melons
Big melons but not drawn by hotspringmelon
Cuora is crazy good as a 4 star, just need a decent healer and she can tank both the hitman and 2nd phase. Not even Saria could tank him and I use Eyja Alter and Lumen
Artist-knights is an interesting niche, it's always nice how Pengi comes up with different collections of ops to do neat clears with. Kazemaru EN saying vowels in that name that aren't in Japanese (when the name is clearly originally JP) just makes me scream nooooooo. Not looking forward to EN Shamare
I assume that melon is an artist?
yep, in-game name is 温泉瓜 i.e. hot.spring.melon
really fun clear! ...and oh hey, the only op from hotspringmelon I don't have built is apparently Kazemaru; maybe I can start playing around with melonknights too. 🤔
I still dont understand melonknights niece
For that, I think, you need to ask Melon her/himself. Like "How is your niece" or something.... XD
Ngl seeing title immediately thought it was niche consist of operators with melons, only to realized it was artist name 💀
I was also confused what the heck this niche was :)
Tbh that might be an interesting niche to play

Destruction is a most naive behaviour
2:01 wait what did she say?
what is skadeknights ?
Only ops drawn by Skade (an artist for AK) are allowed
Just now noticing the fireworks on Rosa
Fedex is not a powercreep. He's the first and only 6-star reaper, La Pluma and and Highmore are 5-stars.
Dear god are we already at that point of calling Il Siracusano Old? 💀I haven't played in ages.
Since his banner just got a rerun would you recommend for a pull?
Save for Degen unless you have spare pulls. Fedex is more of a lane holder than a boss-killer. If a lane is not getting enough pressure (which is very map/event dependent), he can't heal himself fast enough and can be killed. He also needs high investment to be good, as he really benefits from Mod 3, M3, and max E2. He can often be substituted for by many other units like La Pluma, Mountain, Mudrock/Penance, Jessicalter, Specter/Splatter, Blaze etc. Having said that, he is still a strong unit, just not busted, and if you do need a strong solo laneholder that doesn't need support/healing, is worth considering. He also pairs very well with Stainless S3, but that is more for fun/niche/meme clears than general or even advanced use. Oh, and remember that he can't hit aerial, despite using shotguns, so he can't hold lanes with drones by himself.
@@VasharanI'll save for degen then since i already have thorns for a lane holder
