Some quick clarifications.
March can keep Arlan alive through hell and high water. However March can't simultaneously keep everyone else upright at the same time as Arlan without expending significant SP. Keeping Arlan alive is good and important, but the entire team needs to make it through MoC for full rewards and an unshielded Seele/QQ/Pela/Etc with no healing isn't gonna survive. While you can have March shield every turn, you're consuming some very intense amount of SP if your carry is also doing so, going -2 per rotation. Even if your support is basic attacking all the time, you're still at -1, meaning Arlan can't mash skill. Arlan puts a lot of stress on March's kit, and that translates to SP consumed, negating Arlan's main advantage.
Building HP on Arlan isn't advised because his skill and his buffs both key off of % of his max HP, not the number itself. he gets the same buff if he has 100 hp and is at 50, as if he has 1 million HP and is at 500k.
DMG% and ATK% are best kept in balance. ATK% being much easier to get causes it to rapidly outpace DMG% on most characters, but for Arlan, with his gigantic DMG% stacks, ATK% performs impressively well on him. This is why the Moles calculation is so close. 10x10 = 100, but 15x5 is only 75. This results in a bit of wonkyness in the math.
With E4 and his major traces, Arlan takes 3 consecutive hits to bring down during the early stages of a fight. That is unlikely to happen. They give him a level of safety that makes it very hard to actually mess up and get him killed. It can still happen, but you should be able to save him before it does.
Pinned because no one can explain it better and it’s a great bunch of info ^^
(18% eff res is traces btw for a pinned update)
In that case, is the Herta lightcone better than the Secret Vow and The Moles?
@@ruabien6665 Higher base stats and easy SI5. Generally superior as a result.
@@AnemoneMeer thank you! I will farm for it then. Too bad I have used all of my currency for the hunt lightcone for seele
@@ruabien6665 To be fair, Hunt Cone is amazing.
I honestly don't care if he's good or bad, I like him so I'm investing every single resource I have to make him as good as he can be.
Very based take ^^
Same bro
Same.
#ArlanKicksAss
Me vibes. Sadly I got him so late on my account that I didn't have resources to catch him up so didn't even try. However, since I'm one of those that wants to build almost every single character because that's how I enjoy the game, I re-rolled accounts until I got my fav, unowned standard banner 5⭐on an alt, and also got Arlan on my first 10 pull so I can build him and all the others I couldn't on my main. Having so much fun!
Same :D
Don't forget you can adjust how much a specific character is healed at a Space Anchor! Also, make sure to feed your Arlan some tasty garbage juice to make him nice and unhealthy!
Same as blade
I can't feed them garbage juice.. they're babies... I'll just make some disgusting fried rice...
Holy this is big brain. Feeding my Arlan garbage juice
Wtf this is hilarious lmao
@@mosestjen5267 except blade need to get damaged when he's in the battle building his stack
Something i got from my experience, yukong is really good with arlan, as since she NEEDS skill points to maintain her insane buffs, and arlan doesnt use skill points, is an amazing synergy
Ye it’s pretty dope
Ah, the bear among horses
The man among men!
Truly one of the characters of all time
Brother Arlan!
THE BEAR AMONG HORSIES !
Was really fun working on this with you! Good stuff Guoba.
Great work!
Would it be worth it going wuthering on him instead of lightning set? It lets him 3 turn ult when he’s under 50% hp
YOU THE BEST
Super nice to see Arlan get some well-deserved attention for once!
I'm currently running Arlan, Fire MC, Qingque and Pela which feels promising so far :D
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for watching! And your team sounds awesome :)
Regarding Arlan's damage boost, it's actually the third highest, since Qingque can get a boost upwards of 112% at talent level 10 by stacking her skill 4 times.
Can, yes. Are you *really* gonna do that though?
@@AnemoneMeer "Me who spam skill 4x to get 4 tiles and failed" Yes
@@AnemoneMeer Yes, actually, it's generally optimal to use Qingque's skill 4 times when at 0 tiles, then land an enhanced basic + ultimate in the same turn. As long as you know what you're doing and your skill point management is good, it's actually really practical. Just bring a couple of skill point positive team members such as Ting Yun, Fire MC, Nat or even Silverwolf, and go for a 4 skill combo every couple of cycles.
A lot of the time, you may end up getting 4 tiles in 3 skill uses, but in that case, you're saving 1 skill point for next cycle and are still getting around 84% DMG bonus, so it's still a really good result. Although, managing to get 4 tiles in exactly 4 skill uses when you have Qingque's ultimate is one of the biggest dopamine rushes you could get playing this game.
Definitely recommend building her to anyone interested, her playstyle is incredibly unique and a ton of fun.
@@koelee Oh yeah, I imagine it's a total dopamine rush when it hits, and she's certainly super fun for people who like gacha in their gacha. And totally viable too. But it is an acquired taste, and spending 4 SP on that one attack just causes me personal pain imagining all the other ways I could build teams to spend that SP. Odds are if you're mashing skill, you draw into it before then, or get RNG screwed. Either or. Hitting on exactly 4 is pretty rare.
@@AnemoneMeer yeah, it's pretty rare, but actually more common than it may seem at first. In a drawn-out fight like in MoC, I find that I get to land a 4 skill combo at least 1-2 times between the two battles in each half.
I mentioned it in my previous reply, but getting to 4 tiles early isn't too much of a loss since it means you have more skill points that you can use to get another enhanced basic in your next turn.
Additionally, if you get screwed over by RNG and don't have 4 tiles after your fourth skill, since you really only want to be going for a 4 skill combo when you have Qingque's ultimate ready (so that you can make use of the DMG bonus for both her normal attack and ultimate), you could always just use her Ultimate first to get her enhanced basic on the same turn anyway.
I wouldn't really consider it a waste of skill points either, since the team members you would pair her with would still be performing at maximum potential, even if they aren't using skill points every turn (like Ting or SW). It's more so finding a use for the skill points that the rest of your team isn't going to spend - after all, 28% DMG Bonus for 1 skill point is a _lot_ (for reference, Tingyun's ultimate at Level 10 gives 50% DMG Bonus).
Having Qingque as a main DPS is definitely an acquired taste though, since it takes a bit of playing around to understand her combos and when/when not to use her skill.
Fortunately though, for players who aren't interested in learning the nuances in stacking her skill, she actually works really well as a skill point battery/second DPS, by letting her gain tiles passively, and still getting big attacks in every couple of cycles. This playstyle opens up a lot more team building options with Qinque, allowing her to be used with characters she couldn't be paired with before, like Seele or Bronya.
Sorry for the long reply by the way, just thought it was worthwhile delving into in case anyone was interested.
Thank you so much for making this video! I love Arlan and I like when people make in-depth videos about him and his role in the game. He’s actually quite useful!
Thanks Sky! Remember to thank Anemone too for opening my eyes to his potential ^^
@@guobacertified yes! 100%! Thanks to Anemone as well!
Thank you for this video. I've rewatched a few times and Arlan has always interested me. The comments section is amazing as well.
Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed it that much :D
he truly is our lan
OUR LAN 🙏
So far Arlan is the only 4* character I don't have. Hoping I'll get him in the standard banner
same bro
Hope you do :)
bro you 100% convinced me. if i dont get luocha for my qingque - silver wolf - yukong - luocha team, i'll be using gepard and arlan
LETS GO!
I'd love to see a Yanqing guide from you someday. I see so many different opinions on how to build him but never any solid concrete math or comparisons so I have no idea what's optimal for him.
Love the content :)
Hes actually planned soon, but I'm away so cant work on him for a bit :(
Thanks tho!
@@guobacertified No worries. Looking forward to it!
@@guobacertified we'll gladly wait, your guides are so detailed and clarify a lot that I don't think is easy to make them.Thanks for helping us!
i'm looking forward for your Himeko guide video. your format is really easy to follow and understand. maybe there is some mumbling sound, but pretty nice.
ngl when you said you're working on a guide for a character that likes to consume their own hp i thought you were talking about blade, this was a really nice surprise, arlan has one of the most interesting play styles
thanks for the guide and keep up the good work :3
Haha can’t do blade just yet because he’s leaked content, and a guide on beta values will be wrong inevitably. Will of course do a guide on him and I’m happy you enjoyed it :)
@@guobacertified one question, is FMC really enough for arlan teams where you have to go against AoE content like cocolia? i feel like the shield is a bit tiny to sustain arlan and the taunt wont help you with anything
It’s tough, some people have said it’s enough, I haven’t tried myself, and from what I can tell it shouldn’t be that hard. But abundance can be brought. Ofc cocolia is different because she always spams aoe
@@viichie You might need additional buffs to make the shield stronger or something, Cocolia has too much AoE. The pro is that you can rupture her quite easily, but a single Bronya + Cocolia combo and Arlan is very probably dying.
Her AoE also is a multi hit attack, so Arlan Eidolons might not be enough to survive. The good thing is you can use her spears for healing (if you kill them with Arlan) but idk...
So excited to see an Arlan guide! I’ve been maining him since I sniped him on the standard banner. Sad to see all the negativity towards him, but I’ve been loving him.
His only restriction is that he essentially needs Gepard’s thick shield.
I’ve been running him with Gepard/Qingque/Pela (and then upgrading to Silver Wolf more recently). It’s wickedly strong! Arlan supremacy!
QQ is a really good choice with him, since he can always just compensate for any extra SP used on fishing for QQ's tiles, while also just plain dumping damage into enemies. Absolutely should be destroying.
Glad you’re enjoying him! :D your team looks great as anemone said ^^
@ both, absolutely! Truthfully I pulled Seele but I enjoy Qingque more. Got Bronya on the way to Silver Wolf… so I’m waiting for some fun additions to a third team for Seele/Bronya, then 4th team plan is Sampo (somehow E6 already) DOT team. Very long term goals lol
i found arlan was best paired with bronya march and on the last slot you can either bring tingyun if you are not afraid or natasha / bailu to ensure that he will survive big targeted attacks from boss (if the attacks deals more damage than the march's shields) bailu is especially huge for him as she can rez him once if he died because he was at 1 hp and the march shield broke.
One more Tip with the bronya march arlan combo, try to speed sync so it does march => arlan => bronya, this way arlan can take two turns each time, the problem you can encounter for long fights is that this combo is very skill point hungry as the shield from march only last for 3 turns you will need to refresh the shield each turn when arlan is low on hp :D but he will destroy anything on his path :p
Sounds good if youre running a main dps setup for him :)
my current team is arlan, tingyun, bailu, yukong
future team is arlan, bronya, tingyun, gepard/bailu
Great guide. Usually Arlan gets only ignored and shoved into the lowest spot on all tier lists.
He’s so fun in teams. Don’t have Gepard but Fire Mc works. In longer battles I bring Bailu. There’s a chance of getting bounce healed by accident but also the emergency revive is great when things get a bit too risky 😅
I was lucky to get Arlan and even his signature light cone really early. He feels like one of the starter characters for me 😊
Yeah poor lil Arlie :(
Im glad youre enjoying him! And his Signature is awesome :)
I love Arlan a lot as a character. I have been playing the game since its early access and I have never put Arlan down since getting him. Half the time, he's the reason I keep playing the game. So thank you for showing support for such a great character
As an Arlan main, i can confirm he's pretty great. Doesn't get to do max damage since I use him wih my DHIl team but man still does some great numbers when I need him to :)
Thank You so much for this guide, he's the first reason I'm playing HSR (For me, the first reason to play gacha is the character), I'm maining him no matter what, but I don't fully understand how to build him and his team. This guide convinced me to not pull Luocha because I'm actually saving for Kafka, I don't mind missing MoC, I will slowly build my precious Arlan
Damn I’m glad I could help you out! Luocha can still thrive for a second team but it’s your choice ^^ maybe fu xuan for arlan? :)
@@guobacertified I don't know, currenty I'm only pulling for character I like, and so far only Kafka that interest me and Luocha banner is too close to Kafka, other character from the leak so far I like are all 4 star, I haven't look Fu Xuan's kit yet, I'll think about it
SAME DUDE! Former Genshin player here 🙋🏾♂️
Great Video ❤
I love Arlan PlayStyle. Destruction as a whole is my favorite path of the game tbh.
Really hoping that he comes as 4 star in a future banner 💕
Maybe on blade banner as the destruction bros :)
@@guobacertified God, i hope not. SW left me without Jades and i won't be pulling anytime soon.
Nihility and Destruction are amazing paths. I also like Harmony and Preservation a lot.
@@esaualfaro3447 Yeah i hoping that when Blade drops on Destruction as a whole receives a buff.Although Clara is pretty fucking strong by herself.
@@Konkonnie I believe Destruction is quite good tbh. We have 4 units and only two are considered weak by the community.... but as we see Alan can be quite good, specially with Eidolons.
Hook and Clara are amazing, and Blade is probably gonna be quite good too! Or at least I hope so........
Thank you! Been waiting for more Arlan content for ages 😁
I'm an Arlan main and been constantlty shifting teams around him, and they've all been pretty solid. Jing Yuan's my 2nd favourite and I've beeen tryng to decide if they'd work together, and you've made me believe they can 🙌🏽
In this setup - Arlan, Jing Yuan & Silver Wolf - which shielder would you say is better for the long game, E5/6 Fire MC or E0 Gepard?
No problem!
Glad you're enjoying him ^^
Gepard is the safest imo :)
Aventurines existence makes playing him so comfy
Nice to see arlan get some love. I have him at e6 but i haven’t built him yet. Gonna do that after i build gepard, himeko and jingliu
I've always wanted to try out arlan, because seeing that 100% max hp calc on arlan was kind of a ??? moment for me. Now if only I could get a single copy of the guy, he doesn't even really need eidolons to work.
Haha the HP calc was always a shock for me. Though I think they’re working on fixing those errors. Hope you can get him! Great at E0
I needed this i was so clueless on what to do when I got him
Awesome glad I could help :)
Thank you for Arlan DPS guide, hard to find!
NP!
Yo clean and easy to digest love it you killed it with this I’ve been building him in the back he’s nasty as shit with silver wolf and pela together lol boss just got 2 hit
Thanks ! And that’s awesome to hear:D glad arlan is popping off
The new destruction 4* LC on the MOC shop is really good for him now. The Disciple set (Blade’s Bis Relic Set) is also good for him
Amazing guide! I have been coping on the 3* Demise while waiting to pull for secret vow thinking it’s BiS for him. You saying Arlan prefers ATK% is enlightening, now I’m debating whether I should get the Herta lightcone for him
Herta light cone is amazing for him! If you don’t want the hunt one why not :)
Gret video, can't wait for a Yanqing guide!!
It’s on its way ^^
Ty so much! I've been waiting for this guide 😂, a thing to add is that asta is actually one of arlans best support units, I say this because she can boost the attack and speed of everyone, incuding both arlan and maindps, so if you don't want to run nihility or can't pull a nihility unit it's totally fine!
Yup! I forgot to record that part but I put it next to Asta in text because she’s so awesome! Thanks :)
Also, it brings the power of love too.
Thank you so much
I like this video. Who needs healers when you can just kill them faster. Keep up the good work.
EXACTLY
Which site do you use for the stat rankings? And with the new MoC buff no longer advance forward your hunter/erudition, and we can only put Asta on 1 team, do you think it is better now to build speed boots for everyone on the other team?
Speed boots are usually a good call anyway. For stat rankings I just use a sheet and sort, but I think some sites have it
Hi again,great video as always but sad thing is ... i don't have arlan :(. Can you make a guide on bronya one day, really want to see your input on the best bronya with her turn rotation , ult and energy calculation?
Thanks! Shame about the arlan
And Yep, I can do :)
I have gepard pretty well built and can create a shield of 1190. This really helps in simulated universe and forgotten hall to keep Arlan alive, also along with Natasha’s healing. I personally like him over Serval since I don’t have jing yuan. Don’t get me started on simulated universe with all the destruction blessings😮💨
Yeah gepard is really cool for him, glad you’re enjoying him!
this is really helpful. at first I want to build Arlan if I get Luocha, but he only need Gepard which I already have, so I think I'll build him, even though he is still E0
Gepard is awesome ^^ hope it works out
@@guobacertified worked so well... Arlan is surely really strong. He increases skill point efficiency for the team
Arlan is on my side bench currently as im leveling up ying yaun and silver wolf. I finshed his set up that i like and he has 145 spd and high atk.
He litterly just goes berserk. His relic set is the one that recovers 8% hp when 50% or less hp which helps keep him alive.
If i get luchao (next healer) then i will pair them up together
Damn your Arlan sounds awesome!
@@guobacertified I got very lucky with the relics on him
I really love using him bcs of high damage and no sp consume, but in moc keeping him alive is really really hard (2k shield from gepard can only save him for 2-3x normal enemies attack). I only need to E4 him soon
Yeah it is difficult :') but pretty fun
extremely well done video. would appreciate it if you could include gameplay in some parts too! your voice is soothing to listen to!
Have no actual gameplay of arlan outside of his skills but eventually I will be able to when we are all built up^^ and thanks for the kind comment !
@@guobacertified yes i totally understand that you haven't built him. maybe a revisit to his gameplay once you build him and test him will be amazing!
Truly a Guoba Certified guide.
you really mean that? 🥹
@@guobacertified Yes 🥺
My goat
i noticed arlan does better damage when hes hurt just like blade hes fun to use have a good healer in the party and youre good to go i have luocha as my main healer
What are you doing?? I have a running joke that Arlan is bad. Now people know I was lying.
Oh well, Great video once again
Woops ^^ and thanks pancake :P
ITS 18% EFF RES ON TRACES HOYO WIKI LIED TO ME :( I’ll take in game values next time sorry guys
There may be an obvious answer but just wondering if using Tingyun instead of Arlan in the (Selee, Pela, Arlan, Shielder) team would just be better for overall team damage output. Tingyun is SP neutral/ positive as well and provides damage big buffs, energy restoration, and doesn't need to risk being at low HP. She's also of the lightning element and can contribute towards breaking lightning weak enemies, albeit to a lesser extent compared to Arlan. In my head the TY team is probably better since the "hypercarry" setup (main dps + buffer + debuffer + sustain unit) seems to be tried and true, with myself and many others finding success with it. On top of Tingyun herself being one of the best damage amplification units in the game.
From the video I gather that Arlan serves a similar role of contributing to the teams overall damage output while remaining SP neutral and even positive when the need for it arise. So in a way he could be seen as a replacement for TY in MoC if she's being run on the other team, but an upgrade, would that be fair to say? The only areas I can see Arlan outvaluing TY in the more supportive/ sub DPS role in his shield breaking capabilities and if his personal damage is actually provides more value than TY's buffs. I have already invested into TY and am considering how worth it would be to invest into Arlan. Could be good for the second MoC team, however, I already have Asta built as well, and usually one half of an MoC hall will have fire weak enemies. Granted, Asta her self is a bit more skill point demanding, but has been doing good as a buffer/ dedicated breaker in my other team.
I haven't actually played Arlan before though so I'm purely working off info in the video and experiences playing the game. Would appreciate some insight into this.
Arlan and Asta pair well together, and you can simply put your Tingyun with Seele if you want. You sadly can't run Tingyun on both sides, so you could do Tingyun/Pela/Seele/Defensive Support, then Asta/Arlan/Other Carry/Shielder and have Arlan help compensate for Asta's hunger while benefitting heavily from Asta's buffs.
Thanks for the comment, I mean you can really run what you like, but Asta yukong and SW and a bit weaker, Pela, provide multi target buffs for for the two DPS. Anémone already replied but if you wanna use TY, I guess you can ^^
I don't even have Arlan but I like watching videos like these lmao
hehe ty
I’ve tried fire MC with Arlan, but it always feels like the shields are too weak to properly cover him. I’ve found much more success with March actually, since Arlan hovering at 1hp doesn’t trigger March’s aggro boost. Putting him next to March also gives the rest of the team protection from splash damage when March gets targeted
March is defo better yup, fire mc was fine before but damage is a bit too high if AOE that arlan might just die
works really good with bailu because rez, but really crappy with loucha since he auto heals
I just subscribed because of this video. Between how informational your videos actually are compared to other tubers and how insightful your comment section is as well. You are the spokesperson who I look forward to receiving my information from. Thank you and your community sir 🫡
Thank you! Very kind and I’m happy I can help
The Last Gamurai has just subscribed
Hey from Iyo's server ^^
Just one thing if you use Fire Mc as sole Def Unit for Arlan you probably will run into Problems in Heavy Aoe Fights like Cocolia since the shield isnt that big, nice Idea tho never rly botherd with Arlan before.
At lower investment levels, this is indeed true. However, at high levels of investment on fire MC, your shield is actually impressively dense. You will however need to both have a good statline on Fire MC and use your taunt proactively. Such is the price of power though, as all versions of Cocolia possess Lightning weakness, and Arlan's consistent hits of 60 toughness damage rapidly whittle her down. Arlan's ult can also be used to respond to her summons, instantly breaking one and potentially Cocolia and denying the AoE spam.
The issue with Arlan is that he heavily relies on super invested team to deal the maximum potential damage. Fire MC can work with huge investment and stat min maxing, but I'd say Gepard solves the majority of Arlan's weaknesses
@@l0st1nv0id Exactly this. Arlan scales heavily with overall team investment, since he does need sturdy shields to keep his limbs attached when the damage starts flying. Geppy solves the problem too, but is gacha, and Fire TB in general is a unit who needs a lot of stat investment to truly shine since they need EHR for taunt and Def for shields and all that.
@@AnemoneMeer "impressively dense" boi, even at 3000 def + knight of purity set his/her shield is only about 230-240 at best lol his shield is useless in late game where everything hit like a truck. the only use for fire mc is taunt and damage reduction buff.
With Knight and 3000 def youre looking at 300+, and 3k is a pretty early milestone ^^. He will be taunting a lot so you also get a big DR increase
Gotta say, The clara cone is not bait at all, the 5star base stats, unconditional atk bonus, and additional dmg% bonus from being hit (happens often as a destruction unit) or gettting a kill (happens often bc he deals great damage). The heal cannot trigger again until after the buff expires, so it is not at all going to (over)heal him as your skill will use more hp than it gives, but still enough to survive a decent variety of attacks if you are using him with FMC for instance with a weak shield.
S5 Moles can beat out Clara's if you maintain arlan's talent really well, but Secret Vow loses to it even at S5 under that same pretense. the S5 Herta cone (which we only get 1 of) does keep up very evenly with it regardless of most situations. Generally, getting both Atk% and Damage% would be ideal. He's getting a metric ton of Damage% in his talent already, and atk buffing is the easiest thing to get from support units so be mindful of diminishing returns.
Unless you have S5, so in 10 years, Clara cones benefits are weaker than the two 4 stars, and the heal will make him lose out partially on the dmg% buff. It’s not complete bait but since aeon is free and we have two good 4 stars, it’s better to leave Clara cone for someone else
@@guobacertified for sure, I'm an Arlan main since day 1 and I got lucky getting Clara cone really early. No matter what calcs I run in the character builder, there is a lot to lose and very little to gain from switching off even for Aeon.
And I still feel like you're overplaying the healing factor. For example, if you're at 1% HP and then heal from Clara cone, you use your skill next turn to get right back at 1% before your skill deals damage, maintaining perfect talent usage while still benefiting from the survivability and the additional LC dmg% bonus. 8% of of Arlan's attack is outrageously less healing than 15% of Arlan's max HP and it can only happen in the optimal order.
For anyone running multiple destruction units, you have a point about giving it to someone else though since he can get just about the same synergy from others if you were lucky with gacha
@@immortalinferno8809 this is true, maybe I overreacted ^^ the 4* one is still bait IMO because it doesn’t have these benefits and in combination with his trace passive would heal him a lot. The only problem with Clara cone is when you weave in basics and you’ll start losing some more ramp up, but one skill and you’re good again ^^ thanks
@@guobacertified yes! I almost got baited so hard by the battle pass 4* healing one I'm so glad I realized early and didn't get it
Hoyoverse... Please... I need this man in my life
SOON
Many players don't know the value of guard of wuthering snow which they only know for those tanks only but it's the best for arlan. I rather choose over band of sizzling thunder Coz if you don't have a healer he can sustain himself and gives more energy and damage reduction is much more better for him.
The heal gimps his damage every turn he takes, so we avoid using it. can work tho
The heal only will work if your below 50% hp and you just need to be at least 30% hp for his max damage. He needs to be sustain at least more than 15% hp. Lowering more than it is suicide.
@@unfairworld781I thought only at 1% hp is where you'll benefit the full talent percentage?
at 9:09 what do you mean by skill damage at 5112, how much attack are you considering that he has?
I calculated his attack with the light cone in question, two atk% main stats, and the atk main piece. No sub distribution which turns A Secret Vow a bit higher in favour, but I didn’t add the DMG% 2 piece so it is negligible as it would decrease again. A secret vow remains his best until you weakness break on Aeon, and S5 vow is rare rn
Right now I'm using Arlan with March, Tingyun and Bailu. But I feel like my team can be a bit better do you have any recommendations what characters I should choose?
You have two sustain, try geppie or march solo sustain
How much atk should arlan have?
if i have blade's lightcone can i use arlan with gepard and bailu? (only heal when he is at 1hp)
I guess or you can just get kills with his passive
Guys, it’s Hopu Tao!
3:33 shouldn't it be 5(75%hp)? Because he can only boost upto 72%, any further is unnecessary.
arlan main.. he is the lost son of nanook! thank you for this.
Oh damn… maybe
I just recently got Arlan, and I'm wondering, Could Fu Xuan be a replacement for a Preservation unit? My current team for Arlan right now is Arlan, Fu Xuan, Silver Wolf, and Qingque. Is there anything I should replace for it to be better?
At 1 hp he is gonna die regardless if fu is there or not that’s the problem
@@guobacertified I don't have Gepard as a Preservation unit, should I swap Fu Xuan for March then?
If you use FMC as the sole defensive character, how do you prevent the enemy from attacking Arlan? You could taunt with FMC every turn, but then you don't have enough skill points for your non-Arlan DPS to function, right?
Since Arlan generates SP, and you dont need to taunt exactly every turn (think start of fight, and enemy weakness broken), you have plenty of SP :) Whenever you need SP, Arlan can go basic spam for good damage combined with ultimate, and give those SP to the main carry
@@guobacertified Doesn't arlan need to use skills to set him up at the beginning?
Yes
i'm planning to run arlan, preservation trailblazer, yukong and luocha. is it ok?
its okay, luocha healing ruins arlans damage though
I got his eidolons max now its time to build him
Gl! :)
>hasnt touched Arlan
>have a good units at 80 / working to 80
>been trying to clear MoC
>often has issues with skillpoint distribution
>sees this video
>sees what Es are
>Checks my Arlen
>he's at E2
Man... making me rethink everything
Haha sorry ^^ get MOC done tho and then try arlan
Nobody talks about Clara's Lightcone on him. Thoughts ?
It’s good on him :)
can I use a arlan main dps? my team is gepard, natasha arlan, and switching between sampo and asta
It’s harder to use but I guess ?
I have a well-built March 7th, a Bailu for emergency life support, his lightcone, and even his gf at E4...but he is still decides not to come home...I'm desperated...
:( soon I hope
Gepard is arlan best friend right ?
He can keep him alive with minimum health all the time
yes
watched 2 seconds of the video and subscribed only because of the beer
LETS GO!!! Hope you watched the rest after tho :')
arlan usually goes unnoticed because he is competing against mommy serval.
Well when serval moves to Kafka duty, maybe one day he will shine
Will he benefit with the longevous disciple set?
yis
MC physical e6 vs Arlan e0 who win bro?
They are diff elements, hard to tell ^^
Does anyone realize that Arlan's element in this video is "Lighting"?
Imagine he uses his sword to flash people...
oh ffs... HOW DO I MAKE THAT TYPO
This is what I get for listening to people, the ONE character i don't test myself i get lied to about because people never heard the term: *Glass Canon*
GLASS CANNONS ARE SO FUN :')
is rutilant arena his bis now?
Should be, havent recalc'd
Looking forward to a Yanqing guide
Can’t record any more since I’m away but I’ll get to it when I’m back
is Huohuo perfect for him?
He needs a shield so no
I had a dream that we will be getting a set dedicated to his play style that gives him a good amount of crit and a 2 pc set that gives crit aswell as giving dmg bonus to skill and na when reaching a threshold 😳
Also I think he'll rose to popularity when yukong comes
very likely in 1.2, since blade is coming out, and the current set of gear are almost all just shit with blade. since blade is just arlan++, its very likely his gear can be shared with arlan
its very likely they are going to release a set that provides extra health in first 2-set keyword and a damage boost based on either maxhealth or missing health on 4-set keyword down the line
I had a dream that 80% crit rate is a stupid requirement to lock that kind of buff to
@@JC-xz5xuI also think this as well. Most likely going to get a relic set that increases your damage based on hp missing for both blade and Arlan berserker type unit.
Surelyyyy
Problem is you never wanna reach that threshold , the set would need to make sure he survives there. like when reached he gains a shield.
I just loss the 50/50 to himeko on silverwolf and my friends say she is very bad and that I should just change acc so uh should I? Or do I give my himeko a second chance I am currently around ar 47
She isn’t great but she can do well just like everyone else, don’t listen to others too much and think about what you prefer, starting again means redoing everything without 1.0
Can you make a guide on sushang and compare her to dan henf maybe?
Could do soon yea :)
Hmm, didnt really think too much about bringing a main dps, good to get some other perspectives. Atm i'm wrapping up my 50cr/170% cd arlan. Since i put speed boots on his attack has suffered down to 2.3k but the idea was to bump it back up with benediction + aeons up to the 3k where diminishing returns kick in.
Regardless of stats, here's the eyeball calculations i made. I feel like if he could just main dps his way through, you could afford a bit of a heavier "keep that one alive and mega buffed" setup, focusing all SP on buffing/debuffing and tanking. SW needs to just throw out skill once or twice depending on the team to get the desired effect and applies bugs with basics (important), both yukong and tingyun dont need to skill every turn. So you have some basics going in letting MC rotate provoke consistently. I do feel like the notion of "bring a main dps" is because units like Seela are overtuned. And with "units like seela" i mean seela alone LOL and prolly some that'll come in the future, in which case it becomes more important to feed them.
All in all Arlan is really for Arlan enjoyers like me who dont care if they'll stagger their entire progress just to overinvest and enjoy playing the unit they want.
Edit: everything i said crumbles if consistent AoE is required, where you definitely want an erudition main dps with him.
op arlan! grats and glad you enjoy him :)
@@guobacertified Thanks bud, keep up the good videos and kudos to Anemone for the theory crafting
Would be cool to see someone do well in MoC with him, I’m still hesitant to build him just cause he seems risky.
seen some non whales pop with him in late game moc ^^
@@guobacertified good to know! I’m in early MoC and it’s really hurting to just have Serval as my only built lightning unit.
My dream team for now: Arlan (owned), Clara (unowned), March 7th (owned) and Natasha (owned).
One day.. :')
Do himeko next, would appreciate to know how she is intended to be used latter into the game
Will get to her eventually :)
@@guobacertifiednote of her mono fire team with hook, asta and himeko please. in the process of making a sheet for it but it's going very well. Hime helps apply burn for aoe scenarios for hook enchanced burn and more stuff. in general is looking Hella good
You have earned a subscription from me because you are the only creator I found who can recognise that low stats =/= useless character.
Thanks for the sub ❤️ Dan Heng has low base attack but he still performs awesomely ^^
arlan is underrated because he never had a rate up yet like Sampo.
Good point ^^
I can't use him wrong since i don't own him
Does Bailus buff work with the HP loss?
dunno
Wait i just learned something new in this video, Fire MC needed EHR ???? isn't his taunt guaranteed, i have gapard light con on him and i always feel bad for having useless EHR stats on him
Gepard light cone is insane, especially on FMC, they need 67% ehr for guaranteed taunt at max enemy eff res.
The thing I don’t understand regarding Arlan is whether his multipliers scale off atk or hp?
All ATK, his DMG% scales depending on how much HP he has, so HP isnt a scaling for him
Ooooh! Tysm!
listen, I appriciate this video I really do. And I don't hate him as a character. But you can't trick me into raising him I simply won't do it
Haha no problem, not here to trick you ^^
But since my resources is running out, building him now would be problematic
Yep don’t build him if you’re scarce on resources ^^
Arlan is coming out hmmmm
id probably main arlan first thing when i started this game if it wasnt for all the talk on how he sucks after beta nerfs so its good to hear he is viable
He was actually not nerfed that bad now that I look back, but it definitely sucked
