He's the goat of monsoon season. Turns out having a fast redeploy summon that's dirt cheap, deals pretty good damage, and isn't affected by the season debuffs is really useful. Not to mention his usefulness while hunting goats. Even if you happen to have the other 2 affronts to game design, having Phantom is still useful because of operators getting tired. Limited characters might as well not exist after their initial banner for a f2p/low spender, so there's also that. Sadly the playerbase has bad taste and doesn't like RA, so this upside to Phantom is meaningless.
@@MilkyNep Im kind base player, tbh my thought on this second RA is quite ok, the improvement quite a lot, but still need improvement, just i didnt have much time to play RA, tbh RA feel more challenging than IS , some of their construction item just feel useless or not worthy , and they got destroy ezly , the map is big and have empty tile to make a setup construction but bcoz the building got ezly destroy feel not worth, t3 quiet expensive
phantom WILL become useful once his specialized module in IS is released, he becomes good in IS5(sarkaz), Kalsit will also get her specialized module at the same time too
@@mustafaamraan8110 Do you happen to be playing RA in hard mode? It defaults to hard for some reason, so you have to manually switch to normal. I don't really get what you mean by construction materials being useless. Reactive Barriers are probably the most important items in the early game, and unless you're deploying the makeshift ranged tiles right on top of enemies I don't see how they'd get destroyed in most use cases. Honestly I find RA overall easier than IS, because it lets you face encounters on your own terms. If I'm facing something difficult in RA I can build something, or cook special food, to alleviate the pressure. Meanwhile if I'm facing something difficult in IS I have to suck it up, because RNG decided to be a dick and give me 6 medic vouchers in a row. It's certainly not a perfect gamemode though. It needs a proper tutorial, it needs to stop hiding so much information from the player, it needs to not run like garbage, and it needs to be less hostile at the start (having lush season end sooner is so messed up, it should have been *longer* when you start out to let players get used to the mechanics). But I still think it's way better than people give it credit for.
2:35 They're too busy shitting on Liduke and Endfield character design. I actually find it funny that some people assumed Arknights never had fanservice in the game like wtf 😂
Arknights always had fanservicey designs, but it's not literally every other character in the game. I feel like that's the problem people have with Endfield. The homogenized artstyle certainly doesn't do the game any favors either.
When mudrock arrived, I expected that to be hoerder, I mean big sarkaz, wielding gigantic weapon, rummored to be from an old meecenary Corp. And then I got her E2 and saw that fan service had won.
@@tiagocf1208 I will not take that, Mudrock's E2 is one of the series that look like album covers, being Pramanix (70s), Horn (80s) and Mudrock (90s, where the starting point was "where do you want us to put the demon?").
As a guy who used Pozëmka for at least year (from her 1st banner to Logos banner), I never used Pozëmka like that, I used it like a sniper version of Phantom, the typewriter is a support DPS, and Pozëmka is the main DPS. But yes, you rarely have the optimal DPS for her. But at least, she *actually* do some DMG unlike Phantom.
I don't think Silverash fell off at all purely because even after his damage got overshadowed by Mlynar he was still the most solid invis reveal which was a very good niche. Invisibility is a shitty mechanic so guaranteed true sight is invaluable
Pozy falling off is mostly because single target and proved itself to be worse and worse overtime, HG forgot to distinct between single and multi target so not having multi target is not a niche anymore, its just a drawback. Also id say chalter does better than Ling right now tbh. Pure stat sticks just aint cutting it anymore
@@oturan9728 Ray does alot of stuff to mitigate the drawback of being single target. She has: 1) the fastest dps skill cycle in the game with 36 seconds 2) massive bind uptime 3) can select targets which is one of the main drawbacks of single target units as they get distracted 4) deals a crap ton of damage with super flexible range And mind you EVEN WITH THESE as the best single target dps in the game she is struggling as she fell off hard for IS5 and wasnt a ideal unit for VB nor the auto chess mode which shows just how limiting single target is.
@@arisufizu5698 not only in terms of damage plus even off skill.Since she doesn't had any utility off skill unlike wis'adel or ray(her ammo deals more damage).
Funny enough, I never liked using Chen exactly for her DP cost, skill CD and RNG dps, so I rarely ever used her even after wasting so many pulls on her... She just felt bad to use.
This probably the first one I might disagree with. Silverash module makes him now comparable to mylnar. So Why schwing 1 unit when you can pin the enemy with 2 giant co-
Seriously SUPAH, I can't seem to outright hate you because you do make valid points and I also do agree to most of your points. At the end of the day, it is still the players' preference to choose the mentioned operators or not.
Silerash is still pretty good but his biggest boost at the moment is that he's one of the few unit that reveal stealth and can do it in a massive area while his S3 is up.
as a staple Siege user, it always puts a smile on my face when i see Siege slander fell away or not, she still does the same things she did back at the day and that's still enough naturally the purpose of the vid is to showcase powercreeping, but then again - as long as enemies don't get better stats with time, old operators perform on the same level as before. They do not become worse.
Siege was my starting 6 star back at undertides. She was the reason I started playing beside loving bloodborne but with fish that the event was about. I need a vanguard:siege, I need a guard, also siege, need to Block two whatever, throw a siege Stat stick. Hell, I still use her as a cheap guard if I want to bring more expensive Ops early
@@kyarumomochi5146but the foot soldiers while tankier are not just oneshotting Max level 3 and 4 stars. You can stall with low rarity Ops, they are not useless just dont work for the nuke everything at spawn meta
Seige with her module and Saga/Texas/Muelsyse to back her up keeps up with newer enemies really well especially Saga S3 who attacks past Seige one tile.
nahhh, Ch'oom the Holugcoom is crazy. I agree that Chenson the choo choo brain fell off because the def shred is flat, but since I don't have any other sniper that can coom as hard ( except W'isadel) I still use her to mop the floor before the big boss. Great to see the guy doing skits with sexy gummy voice still talking about Arknight, you are the biggest reason I keep playing the game, just to catch up on the shit talk
phantom got transformed into a IS unit, no omega module could save him, so he got the IS specific module to make him useful SOMEWHERE, and still i cant say he is better than yato or texas
As a guy that used Pozy for a while, trying to find a good place for the typewriter and maximizing the DEF shred requires either a good stage or for me to fucking plan it out before hand by looking at the map and taking three years to think, as thinking is too difficult for me. When it DOES work, she does amazing damage. Most of the time it doesn’t.
Pozy was/still kinda is MVP for IS2 ending 4 because the invulnerable typewriter can kill Playwright by itself. The main issue is that bosses are getting less and less dangerous so this niche isn't nearly as important.
@ thats interesting, but I feel like that’s kinda a specific situation, and most of the time just the typewriter isn’t going to be killing much. I don’t know much about the endings nor this boss but I feel like it’s a bit specific. Though I can’t lie the typewriter being invincible is very useful for free damage without any drawbacks.
If Pozy got a module like Ela where she could place the typewriter on melee or ranged tiles (and increased range instead of str8 forward copium) that would be good QoL for her
CheAlter is really a victim of AKs design philosophy. She was (and still is) top tier for all the maps present on her release, even CC max difficult. But new enemies just tank her and her module dont even try to fix her damage issues against new bosses. But she is not the only one on that boat, Seige not ironically is kinda the same she was release in year 1 first patch and by that time Vanguard were supposed to be support units more than DpS. She was one of the couple Vanguards that can hold a lane early alone so you can play expensive units faster. But maps become faster and more aggresive with some of them throwing dangerous enemy in the first seconds so new Vanguards become more and more impactful.
I disagree that units that are powercrept today had a flaw from the beginning. It just depends on what is released. Myrtle is still used because she prints DP without needing to engage the enemy or being intended to, and therefore being a 4* lets her just sit back and do it, and her 4* means she's less expensive and quicker to be placed. Saria is still used because she prints SP, her s3 is useful in an arts killbox, and Shu is limited. Ray is still used because she has the highest single target DPS in the game after module and a lot of people don't use Wisadel on principle. If, say, a 6* flagbearer came out with a stronger s1 (like Elysium/Saileach have or even stronger) and -4 on their initial deployment, there'd be no reason to use Myrtle if you had this new operator anymore. If an operator is still in use, then their niche just hasn't been powercrept yet. Granted some kits of course will be more powercreepable than others (like the good point about Ch'alter's flat DEF reduction), but I just disagree that there's necessarily something wrong about the kit if a unit falls off.
With the recent need of stealth peel. Silverash being a recommended pick at launch to being a soft req recently. I don't think he has fallen off. Siege is just worse than Vigil. Soon Vigil will be record reclaimable and completely kill her. Easily the worst 6 star. Phantom is the best option for those without the two notorious limited operators in a really good role. I legally can't say he is bad to newer/returning doctors. Chen Alter always costed too much. People were more willing to use her under Elysium and Myrtle. But when you don't have as much DP spare now getting other bigs up she stays undeployable.
9:15 I’d say there was a character in inudi harek horakhet who was far far more robbed of being the limited 6 star and pretty much surpassed cat girl Ananya pandey in every way possible, (I won’t name him for the sake of spoilers as His character is really good) Also mejetikti is most probably going to be playable in the sequel to this event if there is one as she was seen in a glimpse of pv4 so there’s that silver lining.

imagine talking about DPS to bosses in 2025 like you are going to fight them every day. the reality is you're going to 1-7 until the end of the universe so who cares about 2% DPS increase to bosses which make stage 0.1 second faster
In the case of siege, everytime when i was going to use some guide that uses her, i just use texas, like, texas don't have the same aoe damage like siege's s2, but her damage and stun with her s2 it's pretty decent, even being a 5* vs a 6*
@@peterkorinek9881 mine is maxed out. I use her with Myrtle and Bagpipe, and don't really have any issues. The fact that Texas can stun enemies and hit aerial ones, makes her really useful.
@@KUR003 it's a problem of year 1 Arknights design where Siege was design to be q great early afk drop for part 1 of the game. The game progress, stages become harder and Vanguards evolve from early dps drops to basically low cost Guards
New to arknights, are you related to Dracula by any chance? Also is Chen Alt still decent or just trash late game? I use her as support sometimes seemed good and was planning on getting her in the upcoming event, event, even saved up 300 pulls. My Ulpianus can only cary me so far and I started playing too late to get Weis 'Adel. Will probably get her too though whenever she comes around again though. Really want the texas alt and new lappland alt too but have to wait for April for that 😢
Happy New Years Supah 🎉. Cant wait to see what cool content you make this year. The Siege fall off hurts. As one of 13 Siege Fans this still hurts. Also lmao that emphasis on Nerd Rage 😂😂
on the plus side about Siege if you want to create some weird "Ignores SP lockout niche" she's one of the two operators you can use, meaning in any stage with two lanes you're forced to take her
Pozyomka need a so called "Pozyomka tile" where its actually more frustrating to use use even if we compare it to Ifrit. Like its super frustrating, but a plus side for pozy is that her armor shred benefits all operator. So placing the typewriter near a damage dealing blocker is surprisingly strong.
I have an entirely different take on this topic with several key factors a player must consider: 1) When did the player start playing the game? By simply asking this question would branch out more probing questions, if you start out playing Arknights at/during X date then were you able to obtain Y operator? Even a veteran and a newbie would still need to do fact check if he or she successfully able to pull for Y operator with calculated resource saving co-equally affecting how RNGsus favored the player. Given the fact that you may have saved up for Y operator and funnel in all your reserve and pool in everything you got just to be able to get Y operator the only gatekeeping element you have to force your way through luck, be extremely lucky and get Y in 1 or 10 pull, be jinxed pulling 300 or worse with using up all your savings bleeding dry. 2) auto/farm vs first time stage clear What this mean would heavily affect if you need to clear the stage/event with all available operators to farm a stage of choice or do difficult content that you have to recruit support operators from friends. Obviously this will give you more leeway to reassess your pull priority to allocate your resources so you can pull future operators that you exactly need or simply cheese out the game because of Y operator being broken/"meta". This is where falling off paradox comes in. The said operators mentioned in the video either becomes your 2nd best or worst choice the more operators you have collected in your roster and their usability vs preference will become prevalent such as the case of having Eyja-GG-Lapalter-Logos or Schwarz-Pozy-Ray-Typhon. You are left with the best thing you have and settle with what operator you have ready invested into otherwise a handicap aid with support unit. Then again some roles are on an equal footing such as inthe case of having Centurion - Blaze or Gavlter vs Reaper -Exalter vs Crusher - Hoeder or Ulpi vs Earthshaker - Pepe for lane holding assuming there is a necessity for blocking/stalling enemies or if this is your prefered strat over helidrop/burst vs tank and spank.
The biggest issue I see with Ch'alter is not that her kit had flaws, but that Yostart started designing maps specifically that she coudl't not be in her primer. Her hit only offers high damage on a very specific range, and what was the last time you really had a tileset where she could automatically win? Most of the times you prefer Typhon, Ray, Texas Alter, Yato Alter and other operators that are way more flexible since they can be placed more effectively.
i would like to add two things about chalter analysis that will bring her to meta status: she is AoE while the other ops you mentioned are single target or "multi target". Chalter isnt a pure boss killer but a wave clearer, that AoE allows her to achieve very high total damage. the other thing is her S3 last forever with that 32 ammo and ammo talent that you can alternate cycle between chalter and wisadel with no downtime (achieveable because wis attack interval is so damn long and chalter s3 only have 55 sp cost instead of 90). For perspective imagine SA vs Mlynar but Mlynar can only hit one target while SA hit 3 or 4 enemies. Mlynar usage will become skewed toward boss killing role while SA have that proper wave clearer carry role.
Phantom has a real use (literally one real use). He can be used as a single deployment slot to absorb both of Talulah's DOTs in that one specific stage she does that thing.
I will still love my kuudere lion mommy even if she's the worst 6* to start the game, as I started with her. And now with the alter coming I want to make a team of "blondes that are important for their country but still got a weird kit" with nearl
unlike other operator in executor class we have only Phantom as permanent option(Clown Slayer doesn't count) so even he fell off i use him cause no other option
New years starts with an Italian with heavy accent yapping about why certain pngs in a game are no longer relevant Yeah i'll have 40 more of these please
As an fellow Ethan afficionado, I can't wait to see how you fit him into future Endfield videos. Maybe he just shows up in Endfield, and if anybody asks where the f*@k he came from, the answer is he was there all along.
I found phantom very useful against the Tulah fight as both him and his phantom would bait her attack that lit your last two deployed operators on fire. So yeah, Phantom is useful when you need to sacrifice two operators
I was getting really antsy about that sp lockout part before you mentioned pepe had it too. "I swear another op ignores sp lockout too he must be joking."

He's the goat of monsoon season.
Turns out having a fast redeploy summon that's dirt cheap, deals pretty good damage, and isn't affected by the season debuffs is really useful.
Not to mention his usefulness while hunting goats.
Even if you happen to have the other 2 affronts to game design, having Phantom is still useful because of operators getting tired.
Limited characters might as well not exist after their initial banner for a f2p/low spender, so there's also that.
Sadly the playerbase has bad taste and doesn't like RA, so this upside to Phantom is meaningless.
@@MilkyNep Im kind base player, tbh my thought on this second RA is quite ok, the improvement quite a lot, but still need improvement, just i didnt have much time to play RA, tbh RA feel more challenging than IS , some of their construction item just feel useless or not worthy , and they got destroy ezly , the map is big and have empty tile to make a setup construction but bcoz the building got ezly destroy feel not worth, t3 quiet expensive
phantom WILL become useful once his specialized module in IS is released, he becomes good in IS5(sarkaz), Kalsit will also get her specialized module at the same time too
@@mustafaamraan8110 Do you happen to be playing RA in hard mode? It defaults to hard for some reason, so you have to manually switch to normal.
I don't really get what you mean by construction materials being useless. Reactive Barriers are probably the most important items in the early game, and unless you're deploying the makeshift ranged tiles right on top of enemies I don't see how they'd get destroyed in most use cases.
Honestly I find RA overall easier than IS, because it lets you face encounters on your own terms.
If I'm facing something difficult in RA I can build something, or cook special food, to alleviate the pressure.
Meanwhile if I'm facing something difficult in IS I have to suck it up, because RNG decided to be a dick and give me 6 medic vouchers in a row.
It's certainly not a perfect gamemode though. It needs a proper tutorial, it needs to stop hiding so much information from the player, it needs to not run like garbage, and it needs to be less hostile at the start (having lush season end sooner is so messed up, it should have been *longer* when you start out to let players get used to the mechanics). But I still think it's way better than people give it credit for.
That's what you call being niche, and that's what this whole video is about 😂
2:35 They're too busy shitting on Liduke and Endfield character design. I actually find it funny that some people assumed Arknights never had fanservice in the game like wtf 😂
Arknights always had fanservicey designs, but it's not literally every other character in the game. I feel like that's the problem people have with Endfield. The homogenized artstyle certainly doesn't do the game any favors either.
Arknights always had fanservice in skins like beach theme ones, in a base design It's like first ou second time in life.
When mudrock arrived, I expected that to be hoerder, I mean big sarkaz, wielding gigantic weapon, rummored to be from an old meecenary Corp. And then I got her E2 and saw that fan service had won.
@@tiagocf1208
I will not take that, Mudrock's E2 is one of the series that look like album covers, being Pramanix (70s), Horn (80s) and Mudrock (90s, where the starting point was "where do you want us to put the demon?").
@@Asaki9013 outside of (summer) skins there isn't much fanservice
As a guy who used Pozëmka for at least year (from her 1st banner to Logos banner), I never used Pozëmka like that, I used it like a sniper version of Phantom, the typewriter is a support DPS, and Pozëmka is the main DPS. But yes, you rarely have the optimal DPS for her. But at least, she *actually* do some DMG unlike Phantom.
I don't think Silverash fell off at all purely because even after his damage got overshadowed by Mlynar he was still the most solid invis reveal which was a very good niche. Invisibility is a shitty mechanic so guaranteed true sight is invaluable
Pozy falling off is mostly because single target and proved itself to be worse and worse overtime, HG forgot to distinct between single and multi target so not having multi target is not a niche anymore, its just a drawback.
Also id say chalter does better than Ling right now tbh. Pure stat sticks just aint cutting it anymore
Ray entered the chat :
@@oturan9728 Ray does alot of stuff to mitigate the drawback of being single target.
She has:
1) the fastest dps skill cycle in the game with 36 seconds
2) massive bind uptime
3) can select targets which is one of the main drawbacks of single target units as they get distracted
4) deals a crap ton of damage with super flexible range
And mind you EVEN WITH THESE as the best single target dps in the game she is struggling as she fell off hard for IS5 and wasnt a ideal unit for VB nor the auto chess mode which shows just how limiting single target is.
Chen alter leave the chat
As a year one ethan fan, I love the constant glazing.
Happy new year supah 🎉🎉🎉
17:09 clay jump scare 🤣
Supah needs to make sure he still has hate comments to not lose his own self. Btw happy new year and even our operators say to us too.
8:09 sussurro with her best skin appears here
The other skin is way better
@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH well, I don't think I can say my reasons
I don’t understand why we can’t get a rework of some characters or updates. Idk if it’s lazy or intentional
tbh as someone who uses SilverAsh for his S2, I can definitively say that Mlynar doesn't have a S2
If you want to use silverash s2 might as well use hellguar
@@destinytimer4304 mountain probably better
@@arc8218 hellguar is worse option that why i go for it
GUMMY NEVER FALL OFF🗣
When Chen alter was released, I never thought she would ever get powercrept given how strong she was
@@arisufizu5698 not only in terms of damage plus even off skill.Since she doesn't had any utility off skill unlike wis'adel or ray(her ammo deals more damage).
Arknights biggest controversy was literally Chalter being too broken while being limited.
Funny enough, I never liked using Chen exactly for her DP cost, skill CD and RNG dps, so I rarely ever used her even after wasting so many pulls on her... She just felt bad to use.
This probably the first one I might disagree with.
Silverash module makes him now comparable to mylnar. So
Why schwing 1 unit when you can pin the enemy with 2 giant co-
Seriously SUPAH, I can't seem to outright hate you because you do make valid points and I also do agree to most of your points. At the end of the day, it is still the players' preference to choose the mentioned operators or not.
happy early new year supah
Silerash is still pretty good but his biggest boost at the moment is that he's one of the few unit that reveal stealth and can do it in a massive area while his S3 is up.
Mlynar cannot see invisible bad guys.
i just choose silverash from the free 6 star because he's hot
Mlynar is indeed very comfortable. With letting enemies go when I deploy him.
Ethan really became the 2nd myrtle to supah
as a staple Siege user, it always puts a smile on my face when i see Siege slander
fell away or not, she still does the same things she did back at the day
and that's still enough
naturally the purpose of the vid is to showcase powercreeping, but then again - as long as enemies don't get better stats with time, old operators perform on the same level as before. They do not become worse.
Well enemies do get higher stats, enemies had been the beefiest they had been right now
Siege was my starting 6 star back at undertides. She was the reason I started playing beside loving bloodborne but with fish that the event was about. I need a vanguard:siege, I need a guard, also siege, need to Block two whatever, throw a siege Stat stick. Hell, I still use her as a cheap guard if I want to bring more expensive Ops early
@@kyarumomochi5146but the foot soldiers while tankier are not just oneshotting Max level 3 and 4 stars. You can stall with low rarity Ops, they are not useless just dont work for the nuke everything at spawn meta
Seige with her module and Saga/Texas/Muelsyse to back her up keeps up with newer enemies really well especially Saga S3 who attacks past Seige one tile.
@@kyarumomochi5146 i think basic enemies are still on the same stat level as before, and moduled Siege with 550 Def doesn't die to that
12:58 LOOK GARY THERE I AM!!!
the chalter situation is also that a lot of places where u would use chalter u can just mylnar it or in the off case even fiammetta s3
Supah trying to not talk about Ethan in a video is my favorite meme of this channel
Today I use Ch'en even more than her water gun version. The offense/defense skill charging talent is more relevant.
Supah is a big doo doo Arknights UA-camr and he is completely biased I win bye bye
(Happy New Year most mildly controversial Arknights UA-camr!🥳🎉🎊)
There is a reason "biased" and "based" are such similar words.
To me Pozy's fall is the most tragic because she's one of the rare characters I enjoy playing with
nahhh, Ch'oom the Holugcoom is crazy. I agree that Chenson the choo choo brain fell off because the def shred is flat, but since I don't have any other sniper that can coom as hard ( except W'isadel) I still use her to mop the floor before the big boss. Great to see the guy doing skits with sexy gummy voice still talking about Arknight, you are the biggest reason I keep playing the game, just to catch up on the shit talk
9:26 Fun fact if you don't know, Thorns alter also Doesnt have SP Lockout so.... Siege better to deleted than to become a disgrace to vanguard 😂
phantom got transformed into a IS unit, no omega module could save him, so he got the IS specific module to make him useful SOMEWHERE, and still i cant say he is better than yato or texas
I'm to the point I understand what the blue Chameleon means and his frustration with it. I'm a true supah fan now 😂
As a guy that used Pozy for a while, trying to find a good place for the typewriter and maximizing the DEF shred requires either a good stage or for me to fucking plan it out before hand by looking at the map and taking three years to think, as thinking is too difficult for me. When it DOES work, she does amazing damage. Most of the time it doesn’t.
Pozy was/still kinda is MVP for IS2 ending 4 because the invulnerable typewriter can kill Playwright by itself. The main issue is that bosses are getting less and less dangerous so this niche isn't nearly as important.
@ thats interesting, but I feel like that’s kinda a specific situation, and most of the time just the typewriter isn’t going to be killing much. I don’t know much about the endings nor this boss but I feel like it’s a bit specific. Though I can’t lie the typewriter being invincible is very useful for free damage without any drawbacks.
17:11 bro do a little plagiarism prank here
If Pozy got a module like Ela where she could place the typewriter on melee or ranged tiles (and increased range instead of str8 forward copium) that would be good QoL for her
12 views in 1 minute? Man, this doing numbers
CheAlter is really a victim of AKs design philosophy. She was (and still is) top tier for all the maps present on her release, even CC max difficult. But new enemies just tank her and her module dont even try to fix her damage issues against new bosses.
But she is not the only one on that boat, Seige not ironically is kinda the same she was release in year 1 first patch and by that time Vanguard were supposed to be support units more than DpS. She was one of the couple Vanguards that can hold a lane early alone so you can play expensive units faster.
But maps become faster and more aggresive with some of them throwing dangerous enemy in the first seconds so new Vanguards become more and more impactful.
I disagree that units that are powercrept today had a flaw from the beginning. It just depends on what is released.
Myrtle is still used because she prints DP without needing to engage the enemy or being intended to, and therefore being a 4* lets her just sit back and do it, and her 4* means she's less expensive and quicker to be placed.
Saria is still used because she prints SP, her s3 is useful in an arts killbox, and Shu is limited.
Ray is still used because she has the highest single target DPS in the game after module and a lot of people don't use Wisadel on principle.
If, say, a 6* flagbearer came out with a stronger s1 (like Elysium/Saileach have or even stronger) and -4 on their initial deployment, there'd be no reason to use Myrtle if you had this new operator anymore.
If an operator is still in use, then their niche just hasn't been powercrept yet. Granted some kits of course will be more powercreepable than others (like the good point about Ch'alter's flat DEF reduction), but I just disagree that there's necessarily something wrong about the kit if a unit falls off.
With the recent need of stealth peel. Silverash being a recommended pick at launch to being a soft req recently. I don't think he has fallen off.
Siege is just worse than Vigil. Soon Vigil will be record reclaimable and completely kill her. Easily the worst 6 star.
Phantom is the best option for those without the two notorious limited operators in a really good role. I legally can't say he is bad to newer/returning doctors.
Chen Alter always costed too much. People were more willing to use her under Elysium and Myrtle. But when you don't have as much DP spare now getting other bigs up she stays undeployable.
Not Pozy. Am just starting to level her up ಥ_ಥ.
But this is not going to stop me, I love her ᕕ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)ᕗ♡.
Can't wait to see another Ethan mention in upcoming video.
I am proud to fully max Ethan
9:15 I’d say there was a character in inudi harek horakhet who was far far more robbed of being the limited 6 star and pretty much surpassed cat girl Ananya pandey in every way possible, (I won’t name him for the sake of spoilers as His character is really good) Also mejetikti is most probably going to be playable in the sequel to this event if there is one as she was seen in a glimpse of pv4 so there’s that silver lining.
4:52 wow, since you censor curse words like "f**k", I expected you to censor or at least intentionally misspell "gay sex" but here we are. Thank you Supah for being a family friendly channel.
ETHAAAAAAAN!!!!! MENTIONED!!!!!
imagine talking about DPS to bosses in 2025 like you are going to fight them every day.
the reality is you're going to 1-7 until the end of the universe so who cares about 2% DPS increase to bosses which make stage 0.1 second faster
What a perfect video to start the new year. Happy new year
In the case of siege, everytime when i was going to use some guide that uses her, i just use texas, like, texas don't have the same aoe damage like siege's s2, but her damage and stun with her s2 it's pretty decent, even being a 5* vs a 6*
But you can use it once every 40 seconds. When i tried using her she just died to basic mobs during downtime
@peterkorinek9881 i always use her with myrtle, the heal of myrtle passive with the stun it's enough to keep her alive
@@peterkorinek9881 mine is maxed out. I use her with Myrtle and Bagpipe, and don't really have any issues. The fact that Texas can stun enemies and hit aerial ones, makes her really useful.
@@KUR003 it's a problem of year 1 Arknights design where Siege was design to be q great early afk drop for part 1 of the game. The game progress, stages become harder and Vanguards evolve from early dps drops to basically low cost Guards
@@EricHernandez-ib7jq i know
Hilarious outro parody.
Happy new year supah.
New to arknights, are you related to Dracula by any chance?
Also is Chen Alt still decent or just trash late game?
I use her as support sometimes seemed good and was planning on getting her in the upcoming event, event, even saved up 300 pulls.
My Ulpianus can only cary me so far and I started playing too late to get Weis 'Adel. Will probably get her too though whenever she comes around again though.
Really want the texas alt and new lappland alt too but have to wait for April for that 😢
Still decent and no I am not related to Dracula

Happy New Years Supah 🎉. Cant wait to see what cool content you make this year.
The Siege fall off hurts. As one of 13 Siege Fans this still hurts.
Also lmao that emphasis on Nerd Rage 😂😂
YES! New Supah Video! Me happi and also happy new year Supah :)
on the plus side about Siege
if you want to create some weird "Ignores SP lockout niche"
she's one of the two operators you can use, meaning in any stage with two lanes you're forced to take her
Pozyomka need a so called "Pozyomka tile" where its actually more frustrating to use use even if we compare it to Ifrit. Like its super frustrating, but a plus side for pozy is that her armor shred benefits all operator. So placing the typewriter near a damage dealing blocker is surprisingly strong.
"It's not just powercreep", proceeds to talk about nothing but powercreep for the entire video
I have an entirely different take on this topic with several key factors a player must consider:
1) When did the player start playing the game?
By simply asking this question would branch out more probing questions, if you start out playing Arknights at/during X date then were you able to obtain Y operator? Even a veteran and a newbie would still need to do fact check if he or she successfully able to pull for Y operator with calculated resource saving co-equally affecting how RNGsus favored the player. Given the fact that you may have saved up for Y operator and funnel in all your reserve and pool in everything you got just to be able to get Y operator the only gatekeeping element you have to force your way through luck, be extremely lucky and get Y in 1 or 10 pull, be jinxed pulling 300 or worse with using up all your savings bleeding dry.
2) auto/farm vs first time stage clear
What this mean would heavily affect if you need to clear the stage/event with all available operators to farm a stage of choice or do difficult content that you have to recruit support operators from friends. Obviously this will give you more leeway to reassess your pull priority to allocate your resources so you can pull future operators that you exactly need or simply cheese out the game because of Y operator being broken/"meta".
This is where falling off paradox comes in. The said operators mentioned in the video either becomes your 2nd best or worst choice the more operators you have collected in your roster and their usability vs preference will become prevalent such as the case of having Eyja-GG-Lapalter-Logos or Schwarz-Pozy-Ray-Typhon.
You are left with the best thing you have and settle with what operator you have ready invested into otherwise a handicap aid with support unit.
Then again some roles are on an equal footing such as inthe case of having Centurion - Blaze or Gavlter vs Reaper -Exalter vs Crusher - Hoeder or Ulpi vs Earthshaker - Pepe for lane holding assuming there is a necessity for blocking/stalling enemies or if this is your prefered strat over helidrop/burst vs tank and spank.
The biggest issue I see with Ch'alter is not that her kit had flaws, but that Yostart started designing maps specifically that she coudl't not be in her primer. Her hit only offers high damage on a very specific range, and what was the last time you really had a tileset where she could automatically win?
Most of the times you prefer Typhon, Ray, Texas Alter, Yato Alter and other operators that are way more flexible since they can be placed more effectively.
Thorns alter also ignores SP lockout, I believe.
i would like to add two things about chalter analysis that will bring her to meta status: she is AoE while the other ops you mentioned are single target or "multi target". Chalter isnt a pure boss killer but a wave clearer, that AoE allows her to achieve very high total damage. the other thing is her S3 last forever with that 32 ammo and ammo talent that you can alternate cycle between chalter and wisadel with no downtime (achieveable because wis attack interval is so damn long and chalter s3 only have 55 sp cost instead of 90).
For perspective imagine SA vs Mlynar but Mlynar can only hit one target while SA hit 3 or 4 enemies. Mlynar usage will become skewed toward boss killing role while SA have that proper wave clearer carry role.
Phantom has a real use (literally one real use). He can be used as a single deployment slot to absorb both of Talulah's DOTs in that one specific stage she does that thing.
Hold up I recognize that outro...
Starting 2025 with a Supah video, nice. I hope 2025 will be great for you Supah!
6:46 Calling siege are bad sound like treason⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
I will still love my kuudere lion mommy even if she's the worst 6* to start the game, as I started with her. And now with the alter coming I want to make a team of "blondes that are important for their country but still got a weird kit" with nearl
I don't care what anyone says. Silverash is meta in my heart. I refuse to ever use that stupid horse.

A great way to start the year with hearing @Supah ranting again about "Powercreep".

As an fellow Ethan afficionado, I can't wait to see how you fit him into future Endfield videos.
Maybe he just shows up in Endfield, and if anybody asks where the f*@k he came from, the answer is he was there all along.
I found phantom very useful against the Tulah fight as both him and his phantom would bait her attack that lit your last two deployed operators on fire. So yeah, Phantom is useful when you need to sacrifice two operators
