Another fun thing about Saori guaranteed crit, it even works on targets that cannot be crit, such as the purple lantern. Theoretically if there is ever content where an enemy is crit immune, Saori and other guaranteed crit units could be useful for it.
Summer Oji-san literally ruining my old plans of getting the Arius squad since I'm a filthy meta player. Hopefully at least Atsuko comes home during S.Hoshino banner.
This is the perfect video for me. I love the arius squad and am bad at blue archives competitive modes so I'm fine with being unoptimized but THANK YOU for such an in depth explanation
Thank you for your informative video as always! Please keep in mind though, when recommending units, that 95% of the players in Global won't be able to clear Hiero INS with one team only, even with S.Hoshino. The second team is where Arius members will shine IMO, particularly Atsuko being a versatile healer/tank and Saori + another borrowed Azusa doing the damage. Also, a new harder difficulty sounds cool in theory, but in reality the scale of the future Raid rewards will also be designed around it. While, once again, only a smallest part of the players being able to clear it. Leading to a lot of frustration from the casual playerbase. P.S. Pulling for Atsuko with a full spark saved for S.Hoshino.
Even with a casual Hiero insane setup, you'll likely be borrowing a second shoshino to run on team 2. While Arius may shine on team 2 for some players, you can also use a ton of other red options. I wouldn't recommend the squad to most casual players since they take a lot of investment and there are better units to pull for. While Atsuko is convenient, we've got many more important banners coming up. And yes, a higher difficulty would mean more rewards. On JP server we have over 10k insane clears for most raids, which means the entire platinum rank is made up of insane clears. Far more than just the tryhard players can clear insane at this point and it wouldn't make sense to stagnate the game to cater to the super casuals.
@@adipose9 I should have clarified that I was talking about Global only. JP can handle the new difficulty, Global can't, but we're far behind the schedule anyways. Good point about borrowing a second S.Hoshino, but I don't think other red students are as viable for Hiero besides Azusa, and it's always good to have more options available for comfier clears. And also, any student needs deep investment when attempting Insane difficulty, but with Arius the opportunity cost for developing is actually much lower. In my case, only 2 girls, Saori and Atsuko, will be contesting Arius books and blu-rays as opposed to, say, Gehenna with over 9000 students competing for the same discs. In any case, thank you for your reply and have a good day/evening/night depending on your timezone. Cheers!
@@dima950795 oh lol, well I'm not saying global should get a higher difficulty anytime soon either. Global is 6 months behind JP, it wouldn't make any sense for them to get a new difficulty at the same time as JP. In my vid I was talking about the third insane hiero, so that wouldn't apply to global yet. And I get what you mean about Saori and Atsuko, but I still think there are better units to spend your gems on if you're thinking purely about Hiero value. If you're going to build a DPS unit you're better off building SNonomi than Saori since she doesn't have the sub restriction and is already BiS for 1 hiero. She lively won't perform as well as Saori for indoor Hiero, but she is plenty if you're planning on doing a comfy clear anyway. Atsuko is a versatile tank unit so she's a fine pull, but there are other healers to pull for if you're going to run a double shoshino setup for Hiero. I think the Arius units are great and I have fun using them, but there are a number of reasons as to why I wouldn't recommend them to the majority of players.
Due to the amount of healer type students being relewsed on JP, would be nice to see a total war boss that features a wave survival mechanic. Heres the idea: 1. Like in chesed, there will be tons of enemies but this time they will be coming for you, students will need to be on the defensive. 2. Occasionally, the boss will appear on the map, it will attack the students with a barrage of skills that will deal tons of dmg, this can be hard especially when your students are already weakened due to the waves of enemies thats already attacking them. 3. Each time the boss appears, there will be a phase where it will get stunned after unleashing a powerful attack getting a defense related debuff, this debuff will carry over in the next phases and even when your squad is defeated, it will carry over in the next fight unless you forfeit. 4. Overtime, the numbers of enemies will decrease but as the boss' defense weakens, their attack dmg increases. In the final stage wheres there is no enemies left, the boss will make a full appearance. You would need 2 squad at minimum starting at hard difficulty. Expect your first squad to be a more defense/healing/sustain one with one dps student due to the amount of enemies you're gonna face. While you would unleash the dps squad in the boss final phase.
Unlike in chesed, its probably better to use students that have ex skills that give pure buffs like atk boosts and stuff than to use skills that deals alot of dmg in a short amount of time. The enemies will not group like bowling pins, they will come from 3 sides continously, 2-3 from each side. Ocassionally, a powerful group will spawn so its not that bad of an idea to bring one short burst student. These enemies will be powerful even they're alone, a simple and single enemy will deal about 500-1k dmg to a typical front line tank, they would probably 10 shot a sniper with low defense. This is just my idea, probably should be harder for insane.
Pretty proud that Atsuko was my first Arius pull, she's also one of the more fun red tanks to use for missions that are less healing-intensive imho. Will always be my hime 😔
I gotta ask to the PvP lads... How much does Atsuko get used in the most recent season? I thought that Tsubaki + Yuuka was the most common combo now, ever since the latter got her personal gift. I'm feeling dubious on whether to pull for an unit who will be replaced in both their main raid and PvP in the near future.
if I remember she looks like perfect for Pvp ... EXCEPT she got necklacke not charm = she gets crited more often and for more. Honestly charm is only good in one situation - in pvp and only for tanks.
She's only used on attacks. Very easy to counter on defense. JP pvp meta usually consist of: An anti evasion (summer mashiro) and tank killer (summer Ayane). Which is not a good news for Atsuko. Another thing is her smoke bomb which is big for triple evasion tank meta is useless on recent season due to very open space (No one gets the buff basically). Oh and she's also dead to Iori and Haruna Simply put her meta duration is very short lived, only last until the next season on global (Which is around 2 months after her banner)
Honestly I've been using Saori as an "unga bunga" unit When I need one target dead fast, I just run Saori with the other Arius units I have to burst them down. Then again, not really a meta player myself.
I’m going to admit to holding a grudge. No question they have a lot going on. But they’ve also done quite a lot. But I appreciate why they have their fans. And they do have an entertaining team synergy. But I’m probably skipping just due to not having the resources to pull for them.

Arius Squad my beloved depression-inducing students. I'll still pull for them regardless of their kit, especially Saori, she deserves it.
Same, probably one of the few that will pull for Arius rather than summer because their character development in the story was really emotional.
misaki: "f*ck all these endless suffering, imma kill myself now"
saori: "no you won't"
Saori from "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU SENSEI!!! BECAUSE MY OTHER ADULT SENSEI TOLD ME TOO!!!"
too "please help me... I am begging you sensei my friends about too die please help me..T_T"

Misaki > "Might as well just end it."
Saori > "The hell you will."
Another fun thing about Saori guaranteed crit, it even works on targets that cannot be crit, such as the purple lantern. Theoretically if there is ever content where an enemy is crit immune, Saori and other guaranteed crit units could be useful for it.
Arius Squad enjoyer 🤝🏻
Princess Atsuko lover 🤝🏻
Thank you for your video as always, Adipose-sama.
Same
Well i honestly like yuuka more 🗿
😁

Same bro samee ~ 😭😭😭
Hope 6% will help
As a half meta and half waifu player, i am suffering from not being to able to pull for anything.
This is the perfect video for me. I love the arius squad and am bad at blue archives competitive modes so I'm fine with being unoptimized but THANK YOU for such an in depth explanation
As the Arius enjoyer this is the pain I must accept.
Also the intro part make perfect sense if you know the story and info about Misaki.
arius squad need a hug
Obsessed with the intro
When I started I was pulling for meta. Then I read the story and saved 48k for this moment.
Intro part really understands it. Saori just legit give her a sleep aid so misaki stay put in sleep
🛐
Adiwhale: New raid difficulty pls
People without S.Hoshino: 🗿👍
But i think it would become a thing after we get the trinity godly color buffers.
Shoshino skippers suffering is a necessary sacrifice for the greater good of the squad
@@adipose9 Maybe I’m a casual player after all…
@@adipose9 who skip shoshino? Even without meta she is precious
@@adipose9 i played right after she came out 💀
New difficulty now

The game in JP has scaled far beyond insane difficulty with the amount of units and updates that have happened since then.

Never enough nukes, still pulling for Saori also being my favourite
Tho Atsuko's the best in my playstyle
Fun fact: Adipose is actually the one singing both voices.

@@ryumaiz.503 Still a useful evasion tank regardless, and as long as evasion badge remains meta they'll all see use on any season.
Like Xialing would say: "Booba get them!"
Adi cheat on koharu for arius squad, fake simp
I am their benefactor, different from simping
@@adipose9 And where is arius is MUST pull and F2p unit :Susge:
I'm sad to skip, but there's no other option for me...

Question guys do you knew when S. Hoshino get banner what month can you tell so that I can save my peroxene.
Early February (estimated)
How much time do we have between Saori and S.Hoshino banner?
Already got Hiyori and Misaki... hope i can get all the Arius students....
2-3week maybe fewer
Arius 🚮
F2P save gems for summer banner ✅
Want to see my UE50 Hiyori in global (true story lol)
Is it time to show master EW50 Hiyori?!? Imagine that boosted bellybutton!
Join puh.
I think saori herself gives the sub skill buff, so a azusa and saori comp will give her 55% bonus attack based on the sub skill translation
The 36% atk buff is active when you have 2 Arius students, so I was already counting Saori. If you have solo saori, you don't get a buff at all.
🤣

very nice video can't wait for you to pull 3 saori on my account :koharupray:
Look forward to your 3 Miyu pulls
that is also good :koharupray:
Im still broke after getting bunny squad so im skipping them whether i like it or not 🥲.
