At least they're part of the same banner, so their synergy makes sense. Not like Nymph where it was like "hey there, hope you pulled that limited from a year ago" .

What a joke is that? Phys dmg suck again enemy with def equal their ATK. Meanwhile not so many enemy has 80 res. With 700-800 ATK caster can do 200-300 dmg again 60-70 res. 700-800 ATK phys dmg dealer only scratch enemy over 800 def.
Have you seen the kit of... literally any primal caster? everyone has a skill that does elemental damage and a skill that boosts the elemental damage that others do
@ do diamente have that special treatment? Can nymph consistently proc the necrosis on her own? No they give the elemental as bonus not as much ritualist did it, thats why the community said Virtousa is the core for nymph combo DPS

Yeah, she's literally the same thing as nymph, and i don't mean her kit. I mean, the fact that people will shit on her on her release saying she's pretty horrible then slowly start to realise how great she is
Nymph still shittalked even today. The only saving grace is that she had fear debuff. People prefer to use her as a fear debuffer instead as a primal caster.
Typical primal caster, their primary skill is S2 but for extra ungga bungga they need someone else to trigger elemental dmg. In Blazer case, for S3 her best pair is Viviana with module (ironic lol).
@@barcodeverifier9256 Yeah, and that sucks. If you have to bring a second unit to enable the first, why not just bring a second DPS to (probably more than) make up the difference instead? Why not bring a unit that has a complete kit of their own so you don't have to waste resources on a backup in the first place (case in point Logos who gets to do it all as a regular old Core Caster)? There's always been these kinds of two-unit combos throughout the history of the game, and they have never really been more than a novelty, and I can't imagine they don't know that. So it's a bit of a baffling decision to make these kinds of designs where part of an operators kit is locked behind extremely specific support options five years deep into the game.
@stug6974 no it is completely normal. 1. It literally happen in every gacha game, even ones older than Arknights. At this point the game has to many busted DPS to choose from with the contents not that much harder, so we need variety in playstyles or at least different flairs. If you want big boom boom easy damage the just use Wisadel, Degenbrecher, Mlynar, Ray or some shit. Who care about meta at this point, I play for designs, voices and flairs. The game isn't so hard you would need 20 different meta DPS to clear 2. This will contradict 1, but elemental damage is essentially true damage. It bypass a lot of mechanics with much easier time to dish out and set up than other sources of true damage like Nearl (restricted by condition with not that outstanding damage) or Kal'tsit (little maximum uptime). Compare to that you could just press 2 buttons with Logos/Nymph and Virtuosa and the boss just die. Same with Yu and and Vivi/Blaze. It has its own merit compare to bringing 2 DPS.
@stug6974I mean, I dont know enough about blaze alt but for nymph at least, the answer is that the combination of nymph and a necrosis ritualist (ideally virtuosa) outputs functionally true damage that is so high that almost any other combination of 2 standalone dpses in the game could not hope to match it? I mean do you not use aak or warfarin or shamare or suzuran or something? They're obviously much more general but the principle is the same, beinging operators that solely enable or buff others, used when there's a big enough threat that warrants amping the damage of a single burst up as high as possible. It sucks that the best enablers tend to be limited thats true, but at least alternatives exist like valarqvin, and if you did luckily have the best enabler then I just don't see the downside. I think the gacha system is where the main flaw lies really, it definitely doesn't feel great to have an operator not be at full power without a very specific option, but again, at least for nymph I think they balanced it out fine enough. She has an S2 thats far more self sufficient and also just as effective of a skill, and if you want her S3 but dont have virtuosa you still have the option of valarqvin. I'm gonna need to see footage of blaze alter + bobbing before I can say anything about her in her case but I don't think the concept is inherently bad at least. I'm always confused when people bring this point up anyway, strong synergy between operators will always make them greater than the sum of their parts. Arknights is not a game that requires these synergies to clear content over just using strong generalists, but that's just a virtue of Arknights being lax when it comes to clearing in general. Synergistic duos very often have merit in tough situations, I just don't get what's so hard to understand about the value of team synergy in a game where you can bring up to 13 operators.
@stug6974Because ritualist + primal dps are better than Logos like kit. Elemental dmg are the strongest dmg right now (even True dmg fall below it), since there is no enemies with elemental res yet.
I can already see they trying to "fix" her by her module, same with Nymph. If you design a character whose kit quite literally doesn't work with their talent, you failed.
This community has become so accustomed to a one-size-fit-all, master-of-all-trades operator meta that it feels kind of sad. These people would probably choke themselves to death playing year 1 Arknights if they can't even stand having to use 1 enabler.
The only good enablers for both primal casters are limited units that a lot of people won’t have access to (virtuosa and Yu) and no other op comes even close to replacing them, that’s the issue
@@Storn_ Maybe next time don't use a clickbait title, that's basically why you have been criticized to even hated for a long time Tho on your answer, Viviana could work actually for Blazter but I still need times for more testinf
The s3has good design cause fast aspd is align with Burn shorter burst time, but just typical primal caster downside If they add burn to normal attack then her kit is complete HG need to add into the module
Well, that is how Primal Caster works, you only need them when boss having massive phy & art res and when you use them, you always need someone to trigger elemental break, Nymph can't do it with her S3 but with Virtuosa, they become solid duo Every primal caster have this niche
Then they should make more accessible enablers that aren't limited. Having them tied to one specific unit makes them worth less so it's only natural people will not like it.
if you think dreadnoughts are not useful slash are not worth while units, you are the one having the skill issue, lots of us use them reliably to do all kinds of things. This isn't a game where the "meta" actually matters.
The biggest problem is the fact that both 6* primal casters have their s3 completely rely on someone else proc elemental damage when the only good elemental damage proccers in the game are 2 limited units (virtuosa and yu) and no other op can come even close to replace the both of them to proc elemental damage which severely limits the applications on their s3, if there were a dozen others who could do that it wouldn’t be that big of an issue even if they would still be a bit niche. At least they have their S2 that works by itself
@@Storn_ how is that a problem though? that is literally the point. the clear design intent is that they do not want you to have access to that level of power unless you have other units. Is the situation with it specifically being limiteds great? No, but we do have ritualists for both elements outside of the limited options, even if it lowers their ceilings some. Having nearly unmatched damage dealers require some synergy is much better for the game design in my eyes compared to just letting them rock solo like Wis'adel can.
@ having their s3 being locked behind your account having limited units is not good game design, the “replacements” for yu and virtuosa are so inferior at applying elemental damage that it’s like trying to replace wisadel with pinecone
@@Storn_ I already said the situation with specifically limiteds is not great but the options for other units assisting in providing this support is there and only continues to grow. Units like Philae, Logos, Viviana, Bobbing, etc are all contributing to an increased presence of elemental damage over time. I think the limited units are _too_ good at applying these effects, if anything, and the thing worth criticizing is them, but don't Blame Blaze Alter being a better designed unit on HG having less self control when it comes to limiteds, blame Yu and Virtuosa
