Best AOE Sniper before we've got so far. She has an amazing survival talent like the literal cockroach she is
but most importantly "BANG! AHAHAHA~!"
Alina Gray: HAHAHAHA~!
@@BrandonHeat243 Rosmontis isn't really an Artillery man Sniper
also she's more ground based since she literally can't target any aerial enemies
@@BrandonHeat243 W can be used in red ticket stages tho, but still we dont really use her for anti-air utility, but more of her stun debuff which i think is better than rosmo if we talk about their differences.
@@BrandonHeat243 I didn't even say W was meant for anti-air
Sure they both deal splash damage but the fact that Rosmontis can't even hit drones with any of her skills makes her less reliable compared to W S3
Rosmontis is good but only to a certain extent when being compared to W
tho it all comes down to what situation they're in
@@BrandonHeat243 Me who use W on Aerial-stage skil lbook farm. *Nervously looks away.*
Some notes not covered in the video, as well as some clarifications/corrections:
1) Against a solo target, W's S2M3 is capable of outputting equivalent damage to a rapid-fire sniper that isn't using their skill. If W is able to hit just two targets, she exceeds a rapid-fire sniper even if their skill is up. There are some exceptions, of course. Most obvious ones being Exusiai S3M3 and Ash S2M3. This unique quirk of W's can come in handy in certain situations.
2) W's skills all apply their stun before calculating damage. This means that her skills all automatically have an 18% (21% with potential) damage amp applied to them, always.
3) W's module, while still really good, causes a lot of confusion for players who don't understand the game's math (they think it does more than it does). Her module is a %ATK modifier, which means it is calculated multiplicatively with the %ATK modifier of her equipped skill. For example, take her S2 (the most used skill for her). That 280% ATK modifier at M3, when combined with the module, only increases to 308%. That's still an extra 28% damage scaling, which is nothing to scoff at (the resulting value is then fed through her talent's damage amp, btw).
4) Further clarification on her S2. When no enemy is within her attack range, she places the mine randomly on any available tile (tile must be capable of accepting an operator deployment). If there _is_ an enemy within her attack range, she will _always_ place the mine on that enemy. If there are _multiple_ enemies within her attack range, she will place the mine according to her AI's attack priority (which is basic priority like most operators, whatever enemy is closest to reaching its exit point). If the enemy she wants to place the mine under is on a tile that is unavailable for deployment (blocked tile, something already deployed there, etc), then she will place the mine randomly on one of the eight surrounding tiles.
5) Further clarification on her S3. The health priority is absolute health value, not percentage remaining. If the target dies before the bomb's countdown completes (happens often if you're deploying her to clear trash waves), the bomb on that dying enemy will instantly detonate regardless of remaining countdown duration. This often results in her bombs chain detonating, which is incredibly satisfying to witness every time it happens.
6) Regarding mastery. Don't bother with S1, it's an extremely niche skill and not worth worrying about until you're ready to M9 her. Both S2 and S3 have breakpoints (mastery level that results in a particularly strong improvement) at M1. For S2, the M1 breakpoint reduces the SP cost by 1. For S3, the breakpoint adds a fourth bomb. Past that, you just push them to M3.
7) To correct a bit of incorrect information in the video, specifically RIIC skill 1. She always grants +30% training speed. However, if training an M3, you also apply the +65% _additively_ for a total +95% training speed increase. This is why her RIIC skill 2 features the morale consumption increase, because she almost halves the mastery training duration. Skills training for M3 take 24 hours (real world time) to complete, however with her, they only take 13 hours and 12 minutes.
You seem like someone that can answer whether I should choose between getting Fiammetta and W 😆 I’m leaning towards W because Fia’s S3 doesn’t seem to outperform Horn in most situations (who I plan to get) - and also Fia’s S2 seems to have a similar purpose as W’s S3 except with less qualities to it?
@@YoderTan They're fairly different operators, serving different purposes. I would argue that W is stronger, but there's things that Fiammetta can do that W can't.
Additionally, it's not really a "choice" on which you get, since W is limited. She can only be obtained on full anniversary banners, either through extremely low roll chance or via 300 roll spark (which costs 180,000 orundum, or to put in real money terms, ~$550 USD). Whereas Fiammetta is a normal operator, obtained from any banner's 6-star pull, and in a year or so will be available via the yellow cert shop.
Right, I have enough pulls that W being a limited spark character isn’t a concern. Guess I hoped to be able to make a clear choice between them but apples and oranges like you said 😔
i never understand why some operators have downgrades in base skill when getting e2
right? I can't use Aak, and Dusk with the R6 because of their E2'd base skill...
Whats wrong with aak and dusk after e2?
@@JovanKK when Dusk is assigned in the control center with the R6 ops, she Dusk drains her morale, while Aak drains the R6's morales.
@@abura2980 And is that any different on e1? Cause i checked on aceship and they look the same before and after e2
maybe they wanted to relate with their lore & personality, so that it could be a bit interesting
W is my go-to operator when I'm playing annihilation and MO stages along side with Ifrit, her S2 is so fun and satisfying if the timing RNG was right,
Annihilation x Timing is the worst combination in this game. 15 minutes play I would want as many AFK skill as possible. Thorn, Fiammetta, Ifrit skill 2, pioneer vanguard s1 rather than shitty babysitting Myrtle.
As veteran doctor and as someone who have her when release, I REALLY RECOMMEND YOU TO BUILD HER! Seriously, your annihilation will be so much easier with her well not all BUT MOST OF THEM BECOME EASIER
Not to mention her stun can do animation cancel if the timing is right, as general use skill i recommend to build her S2, her S3 can be tricky at timing but the damage output just 👌👌👌
I hope all of you who want W will get her in this NTR banner 👏👏👏👏
Was hoping for NTR knight but got NTR'd by W instead. Honestly happy with the result considering my friend is crying with his pot 3 flametail
Even outside Annihilations her S2 can close off whole map sections all by itself. M3 it and add a certain narcoleptic owl for overkill area denial...
@@ayaannair2447 one of my roommates got W, the other Flametail. I still havent pulled anyone on banner at all 😂.
But luckily i already own W and Rosmontis so im not upset. Im saving up for Ling anyway
No w only NTR
Today i got W in 1 pull
Yes. You can't spell waifu without W. Plus, she is good gameplay wise if you are into that.
Or Win
my alt has waifu but W is silent..sadge
Dabelyu
Her skill 2 can mess up auto deploy , I just realized this when use her in annihilation. But you can avoid this problem if you deploy her last and place some operator in the tiles that you don't want her to place the mine.
thank you again for providing another of these kinds of videos
I love your videos, thanks for the information master!! :3
Love the vids! One suggestion though: I'm not sure if it's just me, but I think certain operators are just fine at E1 max lvl. I think you can add more detail specifics to some operators at could work just fine without fully building them/building them up to that point for the time being.
Her L2D animation was so freakin... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Perfect timing! I just pulled W yesterday
Thanks for this video, got her right after watching this video, wasn't expecting it cuz I got nearlter beforehand
Her S2M3 is just amazing to use in general for any stage, it's too damn good. It makes almost every Anni easy thx to her. Now with S3M3, you can destroy a group of enemies when they all move together or when they all spawn and chill as a group, just use S3 and boom, they all get obliterated.
Best part is that she's one of the best grills for me, she's great. If you can spark her in the NTR banner, you will never regret doing that.
I'm super happy that I got her randomly from a pull during this banner. Sadly Nearl took 312 pulls, tho. But that means I also got Rosmontis from the shop lol.
Now I have absolutely nothing left for any banners in the near future but eh ... Got limited Ops I thought I'd never get.
The 1.5 second explode delay is a double edge blade.
While yes one enemy could trigger 2 or 3 mines but the delay also good because it wouldn't be wasted if one enemy is faster than others
Ah yes, this remind me of using potato mine in Plants vs Zombies, it exploded immediately when there was a zombie faster than others and ruined my wave clear plan 🤣
@@shironeko3457 that's why primal potato mine in PvZ 2 is way better
Yey nice! Yet another video that reminds me of my severe lack of W. Thank you vm 😞
Not to forget her mines count as traps, meaning you can use her (for example in the new anni) to trigger grammophones or those elemental healing stations. I prefer her s2, but her new module mainly helps her s3, m aybe I will finally bring it up from m1 to m3. All in all she fullfills all my aoe sniper needs.
I love her and the main reason why I even started playing this game in the first place :)
Already deciding which I do mastery first. W or Surtr. I can also E2 both of them as well alongside Skalter.
5:16 when W used her S3 and decimated the whole enemy. Liskarm looked at her and was wondering "Did you just do all of that?" XD
I just found her in the NTR banner so I'm glad you made this vid!
I instantly made her E1 Lv80 with skill level 7
Should I build W?
Doesn’t matter the answer, I already build her up since her release.
Still one of my favorite Limited Operator other than Rosmontis due to being actual new Story rather than Alters.
I'm trying to reach 300 pulls (200 rn), should I pick W or Rosmontis ? I have neither
@@PunkiieTutoYTofficielLeVrai both can almost do the same thing, it depends on what roles you want.
rosmo, being dps for ground enemies. while w, aoe one shot enemies.
@@PunkiieTutoYTofficielLeVrai I never use my Rosmontis. I'd go W. S2 is auto friendly s3 is burst damage to make stuff go boom.
Her L2D even has Booba physics
Same here. Too late for that since I E2 her instantly lol
Im still saving for Frostnova, a man can dream.
I was still a newbie back then when W's banner came but sadly didn't get her (lack of resources). So hopefully I'll get her this time she's such a cool character.
Yeah. Hoping I can get her :)
I was fairly new when W's banner came.. didnt get her.. and went straight to reroll with new account hahah (used her very often early game.. now I got too much operators..)
Me wanting Weedy but W with pot 3: 🗿🗿🗿🗿
W's second skill makes her the queen of Annihilation maps. Her super long range (extended by mine AOE explosion) and regular downtime between waves means she easily deals the most damage during the map, quite often spawnkilling entire waves or most of the wave's enemies. Enemies can barely even move because they get chain stunned by the carpet of mines she makes between waves.
I finally pulled her during this event! Going to build her!
Her and Hoshi were some of my first 6* and have been the core of my team since I started.
W I love her so much
Another Edit: Thanks for helping me which skill to M3 her
This video is boosting my Motivation to get W. I wish it was easy to get her but nah had to deal with NTR and FlameTail in order to get her. I was happy I got NTR in Free 10x Draw but I guess I have pull many
Honestly, I feel like W is in a weird spot where she tries to do both cc and high damage, but isn't the best at neither of them. I wish her module focused more on burst (like Fiammetta) or something more focused on utility like: reduce her sp per stun (something similar to suzuran's one) to spam more her skills, or give some sort of debuff after using a skill
She is the first operator i leveled up to 90 and M9, just because i love her so much. Also i can't wait for her L2D skin and new voice lines to come out.
Another issue with s2 is that the mines can only appear on deployable tiles. Some maps that really restrict low ground deploy spots shut it down hard.
Good vid,easy to understand,we need 1 more for the cat girl that is too cute to ignore,rosmontis :).
love the channel the content and how its delivered. i got ntr nearl yesterday leaving me with lots of saved pulls. is there any good banner after the nearl light event that i could possibly get my hands on.
There should be another limited banner somewhere during summer break with one of these china related operators like nian and dusk so maybe it'd be a good idea to save for that one
@@gandalfmagzorzy8753 limited banners are great in a sense that you should always summon with them thus not mentioning it, but thanks regardless. a surtr/mountain/phantom banner would be nice as they're ops so good yet i dont have xD
I can testify that W is really really good. As an old player, I have almost all ops and I still like to bring W along.
In terms of overall/general stage usefulness, I would rate her slightly below thorns - around blaze's level
Combined with her crazy range, that s3 can really mess with spawn camp units!
high burst, amazing, s2 can cause awkward autos if not placed right due to random nature, but she's great
W my beloved
On unrelated noted, still waiting for Honeyberry video. Havent decided which wandering medic to E2...
I got her during under tides in my begining and building her is one of the greatest addition to my first team
Hey, will there be a summery of the NTR event video in the future?
Her kit is great for afk strat due to her s2 and good on some high lv content with her s3.
I’ve been really lucky in this banner
I got a total of 4 six stars
And I got them using the free pulls because I spent all my savings on fartooth (and got her after I spent everything… seriously she avoided me like 3 times) and I really love W so I’m happy I got her too!
The bomb trigger caught me off guard.
Are you gonna make one for Rosmontis? She was the only limited I got in this event...and I never get a straight answer on how good she is.
where is the should you get rosmontis vid ? id love to see it 😞
will u release a review for rosmontis? 🥺🥺🥺
I just pulled her LMAO great timing
Brooo literally I just got her and you just upload a video of W, I need to see everything of her since my friend says she is very powerful, I got her in today's free pull
Yes she is fun xD love her mines with s 2 n Omae wa Moe shinderu with s3
@@wesleyseau7561 I can't wait tomorrow to be able to have the necessary chips to improve her!!
My dream of having a limited has already come true, now I only need to get Aak and Lee to be happy
The title
me who already build W and is my only E2L68 operator: I don't know. Maybe I'll just leave her at E0. Her new L2d skin have a boing boing effect.
please, just one more level. give her just one more level
@@wzoxae nah. I already have 4 ops at E2L69 (Surtr, Skalter, Bagpipe and Chalter) while W is the lone E2L68 which makes her unique.
@@animeyahallo3887 you can at least make her extra special by making her E2L70
@@wzoxae thanks for the suggestion but I don't think I will. If I would be leveling up someone above 69 it would be Bagpipe as she's my top 1 waifu. Surtr and W only comes 2nd and 3rd.
@@animeyahallo3887 ahh that’s fair, at least W is able to hog a level all to herself ^^
Literally crying on the floor rn
Got every rate up operator on the NTR banner (and a passenger), and W is the only one I didn’t get which I wanted the most
i like her 2nd skill. just throw her to backline and have many mines ready up
Please make a guide if we should pull for Rosmontis!
I'll be investing to spark W, so I kinda doubt I'll get the skin. I don't really mind paying a little extra later down the line.
I got her skin (I don't have her yet >_
As of now. Im being cheap with s3m1. Already M3d 2 operators just this event so need some recovery time. She is on the list tho.
Yes. She helped me throughout chapters 5 to 8
I love pairing cockroach S2M3 with Liskarm.
Her mine placement can be crazy frequent
Ye imma pull for W(in 6 months), but if you have less than 300 pulls this time around, I suggest saving up till Stultifera Navis event. She will return during that banner along with Rosmontis And Skalter
I didn't know we were gonna get another chance to get her in 6 months. Ok that means I can wait, you saved me :D.
@@unsightedset3183 Yo np man (yes that means you can wait, might as well kill 2 birds with one stone because I want both specter alter and w
You think if i save orundum for 6 months will i get 300 pulls? Right now i m totally broke(cant even do single pull) after try to get W in NTR banner. And i didnt get her so i need to find other way around to get her
@@aminregend9173 To be honest I have no clue how much pulls you'd have after 6 months of saving. You can try and hope for the best you'll get lucky next time. Also it will be extremely hard to not have the urge to pull Ling 3 months from now. All I can say is good luck, hope you get what you want next time.
@@aminregend9173 you should be able to get 300 pulls (if we include free pulls during Ling banner, monthly login and other events. (We can also include free HH permits from green cert shop (4))
I got her on her limited banner
And I agree his second and third skill is lit
@FrostByte262 lately i havent seen u said much yes, i'm glad u have repented and do a proper review not just anyhow saying yes lol
Excuse me sir i still couldn't buy the 6star selector. I also already trying to fix google issue many times and it still didn't work. Is that normal? I can purchase other packs, the only one i can't buy is the 6star selector.
Frostbyte: you should build her no matter what!
Me: IF I HAD HER I WOULD DEFINITELY BUILD HER
man i thought this was an old video since W came out 1 year ago
i still can't get her after 2 6star attempt of nearl banner, should i keep going or just stop here :\ im sadge
After about 150 pulls from the her debut banner, 300 pulls from the previous limited banner. Finally, after 220 pulls this banner, I've finally get her for once.
Thank you NTR knight, please keep illuminate the land.
I spent 150 bucks and all my saved up orundum on the NTR banner to buy her in the shop. Really think this is one of the most fun operators in the game and important in the story. Couldn't resist.
As my 1st 6 star Operator, I did not regret to M3 her 3rd skill immediately... I may have not used her as often now but man is it satisfying to delete a group of heavy units with her bombs
I got W again on my 2nd account with my very first daily 1x free pull. Plus her live 2d is really good, and I've been waiting it for months now since they showed it in CN.
Yooo same i made a new acc too.. instead of pulling on the beginners banner i used my free 10 pulls on the limited banner and got her in first 10 pull... Glad im not the only one
*Note* Base skill will further increase speed by 65% isn't it meaning that increased to 95%?
should you roll for W:
short answer: yes
long answer: she's almost everyone's waifu
Please make video about rosmontis, I accidentally got her and I don’t know should i build her or not since i new on this game 🥺
Yes. Genocide Kitten is gr8, just keep in mind she can't touch aerial targets (a source of nontrivial amounts of memery).
Are we getting oversimplified near light story?
I got flametail amd ntr multiple times, but the few times I got rate of chars it was exusiai and rosa like bruv.
300 pulls.
She was the whole reason for me to play this game and YESSSSSSSSS
I waned to test her on H7-4 justo see how much she does of damage to the Guerrila Shieldguard formation that are close to each another
Can you please make a video about Rosmontis?
are we gonna get oversimplied nearl light story?
That should be all...
Frost and W: B A N G ! ! !
7:49 *KIRA QUEEN!*
*DAISAN NO BAKUDAN! BITES ZA DUSTO!*
Can you make a video whether we should build beehunter
Where rosmontis video, I need your opinions on her abilities!
As a Veteran Doctor, if you're lucky to get her PLEASE USE!!! She's so helpful for trust farms, boss/mob kills, and you can bring her anywhere and S2/S3 gets the job done!!!
Please do Rosmontis next :3
I want to build W so hard, but the problem is I still can't bring her home till this day, that's all. Well, I still haven't play this game for a whole year, so I'm sure along the way, I'll bring her home. I don't know when will that happen, though
It's been a year man. You got her yet?
@@kagenou6833shiet. someone actually asked me about if after a year. Thanks for asking, and fortunately, I finally got her during Specter Alter event and she's on E2 25 right now
Finally got 6★ after about 60 pulls for NTRK. Got W. Then you upload this video. Is the universe mocking me? F2P btw
Is it worth pulling for her in the NTR banner?
The first limited operator i got. Thr best so far
You can also do funny memes with her and even one shot bosses with enough buffs on her s3
Hopefully she comes back soon. Missed her when she was available.
Well she is available, only on Limited banners, make sure to check on the banner's operator list and see if W is there, She's also available if you get 300 Headhunting data contract (Pulling 300 times on a limited banner) also make sure she's in the shop
7:49 “ who do you think you are …w ? “ 🤣🤣🤣
I don't got the NTR, but W instead. Should i be happy for that?
Happy eid you all 🙏
Have a good day
She's the reason why i downloaded arknights.. i wasn't expecting her rerun and I didn't get her in my main acc but i got her in my new second acc in first 10 pull... Overall she's great she carried my new acc
Please make video for Rosmontis 🙏🏼
Yall im a bit confused. For this limited banner does it also include W and Rosmotis beside NTR knight and flametail?
Yes. You have a small chance to get spooked by them.
I tried saving for her after dossoles where i went broke for chalter (i got her)
Now spended every pull i had, and still no sign of ntr or W...
Being F2P is hard sometimes
Use her s3 on crowd enemy was statisfying
I wish I could get W, but I can't get her with how often I headhunt, and I don't want to waste my orginium prime, and I can't buy more. Hope she comes back later.
_reads the title_
Why is that even a question?
*DEFINITELY YES*
Review Rosmontis please. I have Rosmontis but I don't know if it's good to build or not.
Very. AKIRA But Kitten basically only has three issues - high DP cost (common with ranged AoEs), her first two skills have kinda shit gains from Masteries, and she can't do squat about aerial targets.
Those caveats aside she's gr8. PROTIP if you have both her AND W: overlap their fire zones and giggle as Ros S2 triggers W's passive.
Negotiation with Kal'sit means being held by Monst3r by the throat
