Some clarifications regarding how Yao's stacks/buff works: -The trigger of getting her buff is changing her to captain. No matter what you do after you change her to captain(i.e; switch her back to another slot), the buff will presists in that round and the stacks will disappear after that round ends(this is after aurora time if you managed to get one). -She'll keep gaining stacks if she's not a captain throughout the battle and it's entirely possible to get her to 7 stacks. -If she's the captain throughout the battle, she'll keep gaining and losing stack every round. It's recommended to bring her in another slot that's not captain's slot and get the buff when you're doing a big move for maximum damage.
realistically you wont hug 1x1 boss that often, therefore snipers are more suited against them with their range and more damage uptime(not restricted by big moves to do chain damage while also avoid taking damage). However she can be really good for nuking purposes against 1x1 bosses yeah.
yes it works on the 2nd chain skill, but the damage is also significantly lower compared to the initial one due to the stat difference like what happens if you use Louise for Mythos, for example.
She is th best forest deto in terms of damage, hands down. Sure, Hiiro is better but only due to utility. For multi tiles bosses Areia outshines everyone.
Areia is not built to be a captain. She's going to be always in the last slot of your team for more damage due to combos. + When after her active is gone she hits like a wet noodle.
My guess is because Yao is only slightly worse vs multi-tile enemies while also being much better vs single-tile ones. + she's not getting debuffed after the burst. It's a bit early so it could still change.
@@Sylhux makes sense. You would think that they would be on the same tier though no? She seemed a little underwhelming to me, maybe I missed something.
@@dustblack3846 Haven't looked up the tier list in a while. They have changed a ton of stuff apparently. Areia used to be SS tier, not sure if she deserves the downgrading though.

TD must be diying to release a whale unit to replace Areia but they just aren't able to do that discreetly lol
Can you do comparison on single tile boss? I’m pretty sure that she is built for that

Can you try her with Louise? I wonder if his 2x dmg buff works on the 2nd attack trigger by Louise's active.

Can you make Areia Vs Casta comparison?
Her preemptive is just nice to have right? For Yao I mean
yeah it's not necessary to have at all.
@@enma1897 thanks! I popped my guarantee for her coz she's super cute xD
@@Shiki0414 Congrats on getting her and have fun using her!
@@enma1897 thanks! Tried for Amemori. Got Connolly. Almost threw my phone :(
Is areia really that good?I have her sitting idle with BT3 but I already have Migard and Hiiro at max stats except breakthroughs, should I invest?
Areia is currently one of the very best 5★ forest Detonator, can even outshine other Deto 6★ forest

Is it okay for areia to not be the captain? I have a3 lvl 10 eqp migard so can i use her as captain instead? Also nice vid btw

Keep Migard as captain and Areia as a secondary DPS dealer. Areia is made for single round burst so having her as captain is not really necessary
The Japanese tier list has Yao ranked above Areia. Not sure why though.

@@Sylhux they changed it upon the release of Amemori and Yao. Yesterday, at least for me, Areia was still SS and they didn’t have an SSS category.
@@dustblack3846 Oh I see. I kinda like that change, it's only fair that characters like Hiiro get their own tier considering how busted they are.
nice vid. txs
