@@LisaraScarlet oh quick question since you didn't mentionned it but can she attack air unit or not ? (i think she can't but i prefer asking since she is still "ranged")
@@adamakii I agree. However, some people like me are not good, or just very bad, at strategizing. Having those guides really helps people to understand how that one specific stage works and how to work with it, at least for me. It is better to learn and research how each and every op work, but again, some players(me) are sometimes too focused on clearing specific stages to care about the proper strats and stats. Which is why players like kyosintv and eckogen are liked so much. At least, players can see how the stage can be done with low rarity operators. At most, they can also learn abt how the game works on the side, like learning more about each class of ops and the talents and skills and such.
@@hanadashi3910 yeah you're right, my original comment was dumb, there's some super difficult stages and i can see why some wouldn't have the patience to go through with each one on their own.

Excellent content like always. You need more popularity tbh. All your video guides are amazing and a great resource to the arknight community. Keep up the good work friend! Im very thankful for covering Swire, I was kind of on the fence about building her. now I know I will!
Jay Es I think a lot of people prefer a youtuber that talks. Like for example they’re doing something else, they can just listen and multitask other stuff. I know im the same.
@@The_Rum keep in mind that if the information is nicely presented like this, you can quickly go over it instead of sitting over a min video. Dreamy's comparisons are especially valuable and you can get all the info you need in a few seconds. Or pause the video and go over it in detail. It depends on the preference I guess.
Yea dreamy puts out excellent content. It was actually Tectone that sent me over to check Dreamy out. He is big on helping the Arknights community grown and now I have three AK content creators to watch instead of one :3
>Swire buffs melee operators >Has synergy with guards Me: I could just deploy guards from now on. AoE guards to protecc, Ranged guards for dps, Swire to make them all a walking army.
Takes the spot up from other AoE mages. So useful unit for those that need to lock down magic resistant units. Shira Yuki might be better for phys damage tho. o3o idk
Ur my fave AK content creator because you go out of your way to debunk "this operator is trash and u shouldn't invest in them". Hope you keep up getting more doctors woke
I knew you could help make me feel better about using Swire; she's my favorite character design in the entire game, I was definitely gonna try my damndest to use her if I could. Liskarm is already my main tank, would you always recommend s2 over s1 if you have Swire behind Liskarm or was that more of a "if you want to use s2 then you really need to use Liskarm" recommendation?
Cool video indeed! Seems like Greyy can be used as alternative to slow supports. I don't have a second specific AOE mage, so i think its good enough to do job on par with Gitano. Another similar operator im pretty curious about is Frostleaf, because she looks pretty like mix of ranged guard + slow support that can be placed on ground spot. Also id like to see some love to Gummy because very many players didn't know that she is actually pretty amazing in tanking damage despite being a healing defender. Once you understand how and when to use her s2 for different purposes, she became at very least competitive to Nearl Thanks again for your efforts!
Well Red I wouldn’t replace Gitano with Greyy, but use alongside or replace Lava/specifically a slow caster. Because Gitano is consistent large burst damage over some utility which Greyy offers. Just slightly different roles.
@@sommerblume9671 that is exactly what I wanted to do. I already have Eyja, Gitano and Istina on E1 40, but i sometimes just require a secondary aoe mage. Also he doubles as a source of crowd control as well.
I invested in Sora and was waiting for this vid on comparing Swire. Thanks again! I can see Swire having some use but I think I'll still stick by my penguin idol.
Really thanks for your vids. I read that Greyy wasn't a good operator, but since I had him, I thought why not and used him. Naysayers don't know what they're missing.
I wanted Swire really bad, but instead i got a dupe Istina :( Great vid as always, I really like the format you use and the amount of data you show to us. Btw i think Greyy looks cute :)
On my alt F2P account I only use 4* units so Greyy is gonna be an important part of my squad. Instant E2 for me as he is one of the few aoe caster that are worth IMO ( and yes I prefer him to Gitano >.> )
I like how pationate you are about your guids. Good luck with keeping it going, dude. They have helped me a lot during those couple of month(or was it just a month and a bit?).
I got Swire from banner, I don't mind it. But what i DO mind is that i don't have enough ranged operators! Apple pie, meteorite, someone, please come back!
And here I'm noticing that I lack a lot of melee operators >~< half of my team is filled with 3-4* melee operators (especially tanks and ranged melee) on some ch5 stages where I can't use that many ranged operators...
Great stuff as always. This makes me felt a bit better after getting max potential Swire but no Chen. Still....so many guards I still want to build before her.
Sudden cuts to meme videos were a bit jarring, but good work nonetheless. Also, very smart synergies with Swire and various defender types. Forgot healing scaled off ATK for them as well.
You answered some heavy concerns I had for Swire. So she might actually be a decent buffer in the right situations(I'm speaking from the fact that I have NO Sora or buffers for that matter) and she when you explained putting a ranged guard behind her for the bonus, I instantly thought either Lappland or Frostleaf whom can probably do wonders with that buff
Very nice to highlight Swire's strengths, god knows she needs someone to give an in-depth analysis since at a glance she looks lackluster. Personally tho still not gonna use her on acct of having better guards but I hope this video reaches some doctors who have Swire and would've ignored her otherwise
It's funny because I saw swire as B+/A- in some Contingency Contract tier lists. It's an operator that is made to shine under certain situations where you build around her, but it seems going full ground is a thing in CC stages and each operator added around her is a really good boost. A shame I feel like having her potential at 5 is a must because the talent increase matters a lot due to how her skills work.
I think another point should be made that Swire's buffs is a 3x3 box around her. The video kept pointing out that if she only buffs 2 units, but she can potentially buff like 5 other operators if they're melee attackers, right? So like she has a TON more potential on large flat zones like the video shows, therefore is a lot more powerful by like having a line of defenders/guards in a line in front, and like cliffheart or other 2 cell frontal attackers on either sides of her. Those with reach to attack beyond the defenders. Perhaps even the operators with turret-block ranges like Lappland, Silverash, or Frostleaf with their extended range at S1, so potentially even as far as saying she can buff a total of 9 melee types including herself.
I've been looking to work Swire into my take all comers list because of the shift in the kinds of operators I have access to. My logic is: -Warfarin takes up a healer slot when I'm already running Ptilopsis and usually either Gavial or Perfumer, depending on the map I might need both, especially if I also am bringing along Estelle as my off-tank. -I really like Angelina with her on demand AOE and global heals to supplement. However she takes up a support slot and I'm running out of room as is. -I have Chen, Ash, Lappland, Texas, Siege, Specter, Estelle at E2, so Swire has a lot of people to buff up. -Swire's S1 and Sora's S2 interact well because Sora increases the "base" attack of anyone affected by her buff which Swire then boosts the value by another 37% -unlike Warfarin, Swire's buff affects an area around her -Ch5's lack of ranged tiles Would this be a reasonable investment with returns? and should I rush E2 with Swire?
Greyy is a good boy who deserves treats, headpats, and love, anyone who trashtalks my son gets yeeted off a rooftop. Good to that once again, the community exaggerate Swire. I see plenty of cases where an infinite attack buff for melees is helpful, plus that design and voice is 10/10
I wanted Swire for meme strats involving stacking all the buffs on my Exusiai (or a super joke build like buffed Beehunter), but got two FEaters instead... I got Ch'en though. Edit: Oh, melee only. So... yeah. Beehunter memes. Warfarin/Swire/Sora. RIP the dream.
Have they ever done any changes to characters already in the game for balance reasons? Swire's S2 feels like it could be quite good if they swapped it to time-regen instead of attack-regen.
When you can pull as guarantied Ifrit, Phantom, Firewatch and even Mulberry (don't have any elemental heal), and you recieve Swire, you CAN'T be happy :'(
I didn't knew Manticore had a special kinf of slow. Does it stacks with Nightmare's ? I'd be interested in a guide for her ! Oh, and thank you for all your work, love your guides x)
DeRickz Mastery Skills that need attacking to build SP while also requiring a lot of SP can’t be used repeatedly in an actual scenario, so she isn’t going to buff more than twice, maybe three times in a mission if your defense takes a little longer to kill which is more of a team wide problem if anything.
As Dreamy said in this vids her buffs are good, but the problem is the sp needed and she need to hit enemies to gain sp which make it has long downtime.
I think you missed this in the video, but one other advantage Swire has over Sora is that she can block 2 enemies, which really helps catch enemies that slips past your frontliners. Her stats also somewhat complements this role, featuring low ATK, low HP but the highest DEF amongst all Guards and a low DP cost of 14-16 at E2.
Thank you for making it so I didn't write off Swire! I got her as my guaranteed 5*. I tend to enjoy melee a lot, and like you mentioned there's a bit less top-tile room later on. Liskarm and Silverash being buffed by Swire GOOOO or should I say GAOOOOOO
SWIRE was "the worst 5* operator" ? LOL I love her since her skin's animations~~ it's really festive (also first time I had her) Never feel her to be bad~
Pause on 5:30, Swire is indeed bad, i've warned quite a few people off her since her 5 star rarity is pretty deceptive, she's essentually a better Dobermann, but the only way i would see her being a good operator is by increasing her stats a lot, giving her some more significant buffs on her skills and making her trait a lot better as a support because rn she's basically a dobermann not exclusive to 3 stars
Thanks Dreamy, been waiting for this! I've been wanting to find out about Swire's uses and numbers, especially moving forward with the game. I would like to do a Guardnights team, though not completely, mostly melee guards but with support like Ptilopsis and a few ranged for chapter 5 and beyond, and was thinking how she might fit into the picture to assist in that damage boost and placement. This has really helped a lot. Edit 1: Will Chen, Swire, FEater, Siege, Specter and Lappland work with just 1 healer and without defenders? Edit: I was apparently the 666th like.
you just gave me the impression that the CN community consists of 2 sides "savage is the worst 5*!" "no, swire is!" "savage!" "swire" "SAVAGE!" "SWIRE!"
I think a problem about swire is that her buffs are not very useful at E1, because her skills are capped at lv 7 and talent is also not maxed out. For a support role that only starts to shine at E2 I think there's too much resources required. She can be a nice addition to the squad after you have some strong E2 operators but it's not a great idea to E2 Swire as your first few E2s.
Okay but just consider for a moment the potential devastation with a swire/silverash/ranged guard pile in the middle of a map somewhere. No ranged tiles? No problem!
So about SilverAsh (or Hellagur) and attack buffers: their synergy is bad because attack buffs stack additively. That is to say, SilverAsh S3M3 gives himself +200% attack for its duration, if you add Swire with her 12% passive bonus he's getting +212% attack with the skill active. So he deals 3.12x damage instead of 3x. It's just not worth buffing this type of operator when compared to others like Exusiai (whose own skill only increases number of attacks, not her attack stat) or Ch'en (whose skills deal a % of her current attack stat in damage rather than boosting the stat).
So with that, we can also say that swire is good with chen due to the 1 sp every 4 seconds (at e2) and satia e2 passive.. (aint gonna put warfarin in there for her sp battery as swire is mostly a support guard and would want to use her buffs with other dps) My question is: how does the atk buff of swire stack with the atk buff of warfarin.. Assuming that warfarin is s2m3 and swire ape atk buff is at 24%.. does this mean that it is a whooping 114% atk buff or is there a diff calculation?
Can you make a video about snipers again? Recently I had got quite a few snipers but they are not on the list. Platinum as an example. Really helpful guides for me to pick between operators Thanks!
Does she need a range increase? make her have 3 tiles range. That would make her S2 a lot more reliable. Wait has there been any ops buff/nerf yet since release?
Hey dreamy, had a question about Feater, why is it sometimes that she fails to push when Shaw does it perfectly fine, like there are instances where she doesn’t push enough, for example on the stage in which you bulli crown slayer by shoving her through a placed wall, Shaw will be able to do it perfectly every time, but the second time around Feater fails to push Crownslayer enough so crown slayer is still stuck in there
Lanz my Feater has same skill level, and as I mentioned before, first time around she manages to yeet crown through, but second time she fails, but Shaw is successful no matter what, and on other maps I seen Shaw have what appears to be a bigger area in which people is pushed (that second one I’m not too sure)
atk animation just like Dreamy say, Feater have faster animation than Shawn which mean if a slow enemy got into her atk range and she push it to "early", her skill wont have enough force to push the her target

Yes, any unique slow multiplicatively stacks with each other. Also, thanks!
Good stuff as always, Dreamy!
When I was reading up on Swire on Aceship, she seems like a perfectly fine buffer. Legit I don't get why people are saying she's bad.
DeRickz Mastery Skills that need attacking to build SP while also requiring a lot of SP can’t be used repeatedly in an actual scenario, so she isn’t going to buff more than twice, maybe three times in a mission if your defense takes a little longer to kill which is more of a team wide problem if anything.
As Dreamy said in this vids her buffs are good, but the problem is the sp needed and she need to hit enemies to gain sp which make it has long downtime.
I think you missed this in the video, but one other advantage Swire has over Sora is that she can block 2 enemies, which really helps catch enemies that slips past your frontliners. Her stats also somewhat complements this role, featuring low ATK, low HP but the highest DEF amongst all Guards and a low DP cost of 14-16 at E2.
Thank you for making it so I didn't write off Swire! I got her as my guaranteed 5*. I tend to enjoy melee a lot, and like you mentioned there's a bit less top-tile room later on. Liskarm and Silverash being buffed by Swire GOOOO or should I say GAOOOOOO
There's always room for "Ohoho"
E2'd btw
Well if there's a horde of enemy, Warfarin can also help to regen sp, tho rngesus needs to give you miracles so the sp will focus on swire.
SWIRE was "the worst 5* operator" ? LOL I love her since her skin's animations~~ it's really festive (also first time I had her) Never feel her to be bad~
Pause on 5:30, Swire is indeed bad, i've warned quite a few people off her since her 5 star rarity is pretty deceptive, she's essentually a better Dobermann, but the only way i would see her being a good operator is by increasing her stats a lot, giving her some more significant buffs on her skills and making her trait a lot better as a support because rn she's basically a dobermann not exclusive to 3 stars
Thanks Dreamy, been waiting for this! I've been wanting to find out about Swire's uses and numbers, especially moving forward with the game. I would like to do a Guardnights team, though not completely, mostly melee guards but with support like Ptilopsis and a few ranged for chapter 5 and beyond, and was thinking how she might fit into the picture to assist in that damage boost and placement. This has really helped a lot.
Edit 1: Will Chen, Swire, FEater, Siege, Specter and Lappland work with just 1 healer and without defenders?
Edit: I was apparently the 666th like.
It always depends on the maps.
you just gave me the impression that the CN community consists of 2 sides
"savage is the worst 5*!"
"no, swire is!"
"savage!"
"swire"
"SAVAGE!"
"SWIRE!"
Lol the third faction is "flamebringer trash"
I think a problem about swire is that her buffs are not very useful at E1, because her skills are capped at lv 7 and talent is also not maxed out. For a support role that only starts to shine at E2 I think there's too much resources required.
She can be a nice addition to the squad after you have some strong E2 operators but it's not a great idea to E2 Swire as your first few E2s.
when u want chen but u get 4 swires instead
Didn’t I say you will make it to 20k subs by end of March ? Looks like you’ll hit it sooner. Good work
I'm here for waifu and Swire definitely hits the mark.
You sure work quick xD
Okay but just consider for a moment the potential devastation with a swire/silverash/ranged guard pile in the middle of a map somewhere.
No ranged tiles? No problem!
getting spooked by Swire 4 times
-see worst 5* star ever ?-
Ah shet here we go again
Just pulled Swire today and since she has no real synergy with my strats I guess I'm gonna put her in the base for now. Great video.
i can see myself dropping swire behind specter and use both skills for a mini death trap / stall square against bosses.
I really like Swire's design and tried to roll for her and Ch'en...
3 6*, 5 5*.... all of them were off banner.
I guess it's not meant to be.
question : is swire worse than sora, warfarin, aak, when buffing like silverash skill3, hellagur skill3 ?
I mean you are comparing 3 buffers vs 1
So about SilverAsh (or Hellagur) and attack buffers: their synergy is bad because attack buffs stack additively. That is to say, SilverAsh S3M3 gives himself +200% attack for its duration, if you add Swire with her 12% passive bonus he's getting +212% attack with the skill active. So he deals 3.12x damage instead of 3x.
It's just not worth buffing this type of operator when compared to others like Exusiai (whose own skill only increases number of attacks, not her attack stat) or Ch'en (whose skills deal a % of her current attack stat in damage rather than boosting the stat).
I want Greyy so badly!!! :3
I have a very vanguard heavy team (I kept getting the good ones barring siege) i guess swire could work to support them
So Swire is good, but I'd still most likely put someone like silver ash or lappland behind liskarm
Your guides are amazing!
What programs are you using for editing?
Adobe Premiere Pro CC
@@LisaraScarlet thanks for answering
Got Swire trying to go for Chen but she doesn’t fit my team comps so she’s going to be a base slave
So with that, we can also say that swire is good with chen due to the 1 sp every 4 seconds (at e2) and satia e2 passive.. (aint gonna put warfarin in there for her sp battery as swire is mostly a support guard and would want to use her buffs with other dps)
My question is: how does the atk buff of swire stack with the atk buff of warfarin.. Assuming that warfarin is s2m3 and swire ape atk buff is at 24%.. does this mean that it is a whooping 114% atk buff or is there a diff calculation?
It would stack as you say (114%) because same type buffs are additive (which both Warfarin and Swire's Atk buffs are, along with Sora).
I just came for swire and I will still invest in her
Can you make a video about snipers again?
Recently I had got quite a few snipers but they are not on the list.
Platinum as an example.
Really helpful guides for me to pick between operators Thanks!
It will come eventually.
@@LisaraScarlet Hooray!
Gonna E2 Swire as soon as i can just because she's lovely.
Will i ever level Swire? probably not.
Will i ever take her out as my assistant? Absolutely not.
GAOOOOO
Tfw you got Swire before Greyy, Popukar and Midnight!!
80 rolls on the skadi banner, no midnight, like is this a joke or smth
Popukar deserves some love... Q w Q ♡
Rich Tiger Swire please bless me with those money T-T
i don't use swire in battle but she is waifu material
I'm here regarding the song that was used for outro at 11:46 on this video. What is the name of the song?
I like swire with my skadi and nearl when i got no mat for E2 lol
Swire and Sora tag team for the buffest teams in all of Rhodes Island.
What? I dont even know that Swire is considered to a Trash.. i just plan to E2 ing her after SA. With Her Buff, SA will go crazy
0:22
Lil Bob
I dont like Swire because if we have to max out her talent, which is not really F2P
Does she need a range increase? make her have 3 tiles range. That would make her S2 a lot more reliable.
Wait has there been any ops buff/nerf yet since release?
Nerf/buff only happened on the transition from CBT to OBT on CN servers.
Hey dreamy, had a question about Feater, why is it sometimes that she fails to push when Shaw does it perfectly fine, like there are instances where she doesn’t push enough, for example on the stage in which you bulli crown slayer by shoving her through a placed wall, Shaw will be able to do it perfectly every time, but the second time around Feater fails to push Crownslayer enough so crown slayer is still stuck in there
Its probably their skill level. My Feater pushes as much as my shaw at lvl 4 skill.
Lanz my Feater has same skill level, and as I mentioned before, first time around she manages to yeet crown through, but second time she fails, but Shaw is successful no matter what, and on other maps I seen Shaw have what appears to be a bigger area in which people is pushed (that second one I’m not too sure)
@@nebulus4700well... I can't help you with that sorry.
Their attack animation has difference.
atk animation just like Dreamy say, Feater have faster animation than Shawn which mean if a slow enemy got into her atk range and she push it to "early", her skill wont have enough force to push the her target
Great guide as always dreamy btw is there no part 2 of the summon stream?
None cause there's too few wanting to participate.
@@LisaraScarlet damn mine got skipped then sad
@@a.t410 Really? You should've said something on the stream. Sorry!
@@a.t410 If you haven't summoned yet, maybe you can hop on my discord and stream it, or I can do a small stream for you there. Not youtube.
@@LisaraScarlet nah its okay maybe on schawrz banner?
Does Swire s2 also take to long even with sp battery units?
45 cost is still pretty big.
Can we also do Stat comparison to other operator within the same role? I don't think comparing their stat to other same class and rarity means much.
Swire is really cute and I want her to bully me.
She could tag-team with _stern, strict_ Dobermann for double the whipping action ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This video makes me realize that Swire could actually be pretty goodnif her s2 cd wasnt so damn long
I just got her and now im disappointed
Don't have ch'en, wasted 36000 orundums and only have Swire. This video makes me sad.
But keep up good content
what was the song you used at the start of the video after the jingle?
So what youre saying is... I can do a tripple attack buff with Sora, Warfarin, and Swire?
