    Puzzle is also a very funny welfare. His talent lets him print DP like crazy if he attacks something that can't lose health; examples include Kristen's balls, heat vents in Jessica's event, Stainless' metal crabs, and anything with a high dodge chance. I also want to mention the payload carts in ch.13 where not only his talent applies, but the DoT on his S2 persists if you retreat him.

    Gladiia is my favorite character since her release on global server. She never left my main squad and she's the only reason why I'm still playing AK today. Here's some infos for the people who want to have a bit more insight about how she works beside the obvious insane AH synergy :
    Being a puller gives her good ATK stats and HP, combined with her talent and her module at level 3, she's able to decently takes damages from enemies. She's designed to be a more combat oriented puller by her kitt. Her talent gives her a damage bonus against weight 3 and lower enemies who are most of the enemies in the game. On top her other talent that gives her a HP regen and damage reduction, her pulling ability complements her survivability aspects. Very few players knows that shifting an enemies when they are about to attack or uses their skills canceled them. So she cancel some enemies hits, and healing while damaging them. She also can attack drones and be deployed on ranged tiles making her very flexible. All her skills are attack scale, so benefits alot from buffs, etc... I will stop here cause it's late and if I continue, I could write a entire video script about "Why Gladiia is rhe best character in the entire game. No biased."

    10:47 I personaly would say that Valarqvin being the easiest source of Necrosis damage avalable make her extremely valuable for thoses who don't have Virtuosa, considering how stupidly strong Necrosis is.
    I would have placed her in the main list because what she offer is so rare and valuable, In place of Wanqing for exemple, he's good but the issue is that EVERYONe already have myrtle, and for the only thing he brin (his buff), he has the same issue as Elysium IMO, you have to chose between activating skill for DP or keeping it for buff, which is the reason why you never see Ely either.

      @shyhrk 15 днів тому +11

      I uses Vigil all the time as well XD Very strong for a vanguard + versatility imho; not the best, but the versatility makes up for it. Can fit role of blocking + ranged, and with good damage compared to to 4* and 5* equivalents, and sooooo much easier to use than Muelsys. The only problem with is his summon being kinda squishy compared to Beanstalk or Blacknight...and the module doesn't really help much with it (damage when full 3 wolves block + ranged is very good though). But with S1, he's pretty easy to use and his wolf regenerates quite quickly.

    • @karimsonsafehold9233
      @karimsonsafehold9233 15 днів тому

      Arknights expect burst dps with s3 6 stars. Vigil is more newer design where s1 s2 s3 all have diffetent use cases. Muel basically has 1 or 2 times to change the clone. She can lanehold with a defender 3 block and then switch to a sniper or flinger or dorothy for dps in another direction. After team was deployed in front. This also regens the health of the clone. This manual activation is harder to time esp with mo module vs vigil but vigil is more afk friendly. I domt even have vigil and i know he plays more like agent vanguards. You pop him down like a doll keeper, not in beginning of fight just like agent vanguards. Then harvest dp and then replace him later. So just like muel they are there only temporarily. Muel s saria copy is not as good as actual saria without skills. And vigil is not as good as a six star dps. His dps is good enuf at e 1. But arknights brain needs 1 op to be good at fixing issues. Whereas vigil just delays and gives dp dps. Very similar to blacknight and others who give some dps but mostly i use em for dp and blocking or delaying

      Hell no. Theresa is kinda mediocre because there is no real use for her S3 yet. She is like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, it's just too much healing at once. The only use case of S3 rn is surtr ICU. While gladiia is really good even outside of AH. She's a vanguard, guard, sniper, self healer, cc and puller. She can pretty much lanehold a lane by herself if not that many enemies or high atk enemies come at once. Even if they do come, you can just put a guard infront of her to solve that problem. Ofc, spectre alter is the best one for that job but someone else works too

    Ngl, while I see the merits in Eterna, I don't necessary think she is above Lumen, Kross and Tequila. Those 3 fill the 3 very necessary spots in a team, AoE, range DPS and healing. Meanwhile Eterna have the same issue with other bards, they aren't really necessary, bad even on some stage, most of the time. Especially when Eterna S3 ain't really needed because it has yet to show full potential on anyone currently. I'm bias towards bard in general, Skalter is my first 6 stars, but bard in general most of the time aren't that necessary, good branch though.

      Part 1/2:
      Vigil: cheap early laneholder, does decent damage with Vigil’s shots while the wolf ‘summon’ ignores around 200-300 defense iirc. The wolf summon has multiple hp bars and deals more hits with as many heads are floating beside it. He’s not really much to write home about but he’s good at what he does as a Tactician. Don’t expect him to kill any bosses by himself but he’s great for anyone who doesn’t have an early laneholder like Mountain.
      Would put him somewhere around the middle of the list, realistically. He’s meme’d as being bad but he’s just… average. And this is coming from someone who likes Vigil.

    • @annie.V.
      @annie.V. 13 днів тому +1

      (2/2)
      Actual number one spot is Gladiia.
      Strongest faction in the entire game. One of the best, if not *the* best Hookmaster. Deals an absolutely absurd amount of damage and can attack flying and ground enemies. Her range is four tiles long and she can be placed on ground and ranged tiles which makes her really easy to set down in a safe place and either 1)have her pull enemies into holes or 2) have her absolutely annihilate an enemy.
      Trait 2 (with full pots): When attacking enemies with 3 or less weight, increase ATK to 136% (+6%)
      Her first skill is an auto skill that has a fast charge, deals a hefty amount of damage, and at m3 her shift is ‘significant’.
      Second skill: Attack interval increases but her range increases to being a 3x3 in front of her similar to the range of a mystic caster. She can pull 2 enemies at a time, prioritizing blocked enemies. At m3, her shift is ‘significant’
      Third skill: Her strongest dps and stalling skill as far as I’m aware.
      M3: “Binds a faraway target and generates a tornado centered on it, inflicting -50% Movement Speed to nearby enemies. Enemies caught in the tornado receive 130% ATK as Arts damage and are dragged towards the center significantly once every 1.5 seconds. The target and nearby enemies are dragged towards this unit significantly after the skill duration”
      Her module: When enemies are pulled, enemies take Arts damage proportional to the distance traveled.
      How it’s calculated: Checks the distance the enemy moved every 0.066 seconds and deals Arts damage based on the distance at a rate of 800 per 1 tile. If the enemy does not move or moved greater than 4 tiles between a check, no damage will be dealt.
      About her faction: Abyssal Hunters provide buffs for other Abyssal Hunters.
      Gladiia’s first trait: when deployed, makes it so that all Abyssal Hunters recover 2.5% of Max HP per second and receive 25% less Physical and Arts damage from Seaborn enemies.
      With her maxed module, this becomes: When deployed, all Abyssal Hunter recover 3.5% of Max HP per second and receive 30% less Physical and Arts damage from enemies.

      Honestly Gladia is more universal. She heals herself, takes less damage, pulls, and is basically a guard. Lumen is a fantastic healer, but I wouldn't say he's more universal. Just because Gladia is best with AH, doesn't stop her being stupidly good by herself. One way to put it is that Gladia can solo stages, but Lumen can't (not that it's a very fair comparison).

      @@xtranathor8143 Gladia have very good stats and survivability with her self healing. S1 is good afk pulling and S3 good aoe dps and crowd-control. She can output good results as a very good low cost early dps but with myrtle in the game that isn't really a problem until later chapters where at that point you got a lot of strong ops or you can just place a vanguard for more dp. But in the healing department there aren't many good free options Ceylon or breeze aren't worth it. You could get Susuro pulling.She is a really strong healer with her S2. But still i don't think Gladia is bad unit but still you could bring other units to fill her role. In Lumen case still the same you could use other healer but there aren't many that could compare to his healing that isn't Eyja that is a limited or Susuro.

    I would go to bat for a Bibeak placement but I haven't used #10 enough to dispute it + everyone already knows on-demand stun is busted (Puzzle as well but that's just by virtue of being an agent)

      Yes, very good mentions! Plus, Bibeak is the cutest out of anyone on this list!
