understandable so, if operator is hard or awkward to use, or costs too much DP, or requires a learning curve - we should neglect it in favour of easier and more optimised units since arknights is an online competitive game with very hard stages to beat without having every possible edge in our hands 👍
Vigil actually has a niche. If one day a boss that can't be nuked down and can only be blocked by units with 3 Block is added into a CC (or, well, its replacement) with a Block down tag, apparently Vigil's wolves aren't affected by the Block down tag. It's just that, you know, we've never had that niche be needed
Ok let just say that boss exist and we have the block down tag, what do you think will happen next ? The wolf will block the boss and it gonna get one-shoted anyway. Remember the wolf only have 1100 hp(not counting hp down tag) before it goes down to 2. In this situation is just better to use suzuran to slow it down and kill it.
My girl Frostleaf has been done SO dirty. My girl stinky as hell with how much her kit sucks. I know modules are kind of stupid sometimes, but I legitimately look forward to the day Frostleaf gets a module and she gets a second ability that allows her to deal extra damage to slowed or binded enemies or at the very least allows her to inflict cold with her normal attacks giving her a legitimate niche. No, I am NOT huffing copium. Frostleaf already has been done dirty even in the actual Arknights canon, she really deserves better than whatever the hell her kit is! XP At the very least, Frostleaf would be a much simpler fix than Spuria and Quartz because at least she's in a overall good archtype that hasn't had a module yet. Not even Spuria's module could make her useable, and Quartz even with a good module I'd argue is impossible to legitimately fix because her archtype is the actual worst. She could be given an actual defense stat and she would still suck ass because of everything else surrounding her. Those two would actually have literally everything about them completely scrapped and rebuilt from the ground-up to be even remotely decent. And while Frostleaf is technically still the worst unit, I geniunely believe she could have a chance to be remotely useable if HG bothered to make small tweaks to her abilities or just give her a new ability like they did with units like Shirayuki (who also has an ability that lowers her ASPD, but actually gives her more ATK, and it's on a unit with already slow ASPD so it's not the worst trade-off). I guess what I've been trying to say with this goddamn essay of a comment is that while some units are simply bad because they were a complete mistake to begin with as with the case with units like Quartz, others are bad but they absolutely DON'T NEED TO BE. Some of these bad units could be on the verge of being actually decent units (or at the very least far less bad) with just the smallest bit of tweaks to their kits. But the sad truth is that HG can't be bothered with any of this shit and would rather just keep throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks instead of actually helping out operators that desperately need it. But I'm just a random Frostleaf simp on copium giving out his thoughts on the matter.
*And while Frostleaf is technically still the worst unit* She's really not the worst. I know what SUPAH said, but SUPAH's reasoning has one major flaw: Being bad at a strong role is much, much better than being mediocre in a bad role (Jackie, Beehunter, Tsukinogi), or just being bad in a bad role (Quartz). To verify this, ask yourself: What unit am I likely to pick more? Beehunter, a 1-block guard with a luck-based dodge-mechanic who is completely useless against moderate defense enemies or stronger, or Frostleaf, a Bad Lord with solid basic stats, 2 block, a wider attack range and the ability to hit flyers? For most of AK's content, FrostLeaf is going to be better, solely by the grace of her archetype, if only because being able to do SOME damage at range over multiple lanes to light and medium defense enemies while blocking 2 enemies beats the hell out of doing jack-shit against a third of the enemy roster and not even excelling in that regard. And no, Beehunter excelling in precisely one specific place in CC does not change that whatsoever because CC is objectively, a tiny fraction of AK's content. And Beehunter isn't even the worst unit; that's Quartz. A unit whose entire archetype is only useful as a Hammer in a Hammer & Anvil chokepoint configuration...and who is completely outdone by the Juggernaut and Dreadnought archetypes in every way even at her rarity or less.
Ebenholz is quite finicky to use true but I find it fairly easy to just spawn camp elites with him. As long as the frequency of elites is less than one every 20 seconds he can handle them easily
@@januszpolak254 Except her extended range is MUCH more useful as you will RARELLY need to get enemies THAT CLOSE to ebenholz or Thyphon in the first place Also once Thyphon locks up she practically has no blind spots for that enemy unlike eben
Eben and Amiya are all the casters i'm using and they simply get the job done. Like, excuse him for not being broken or on par with meta ops but he's perfectly fine.
@@Kimri so what's the point in using them as long as there are other ops that can do the same job as them but even better? Like good for you, it's your account, but there is no reason for anyone to follow your playstyle.
The high learning curve for little reward is a very good point. There's really no reason to use weaker operators other than because you like the character, like self-imposed challenged or just want to show off.
it's about "what does fulfil you personally" if you are grabbing surtr for every stage, finish event in 2 hours - and then feel "daaamn, that was so good - i really enjoyed all of the stages and the way i beat them" - then yes, you are doing the right thing but if peeps playing for the sake of simply winning and not having fun in the process - then the whole point is lost
As someone who's still quite new in Arknights, I like guides that explain an operator as a whole, (Advantages and Disadvantages). I understand that the game has a lot of operators that can potentially be god tier in a specific circumstance or if you were the least skilled CN player, but just because my lawnmower can cut grass, doesn't mean it can cut hedges too. This helps me judge whether I have a place for them on my team, and whether or not I can supplement/handle their quirks, and not just another operator that could be good if I built for one level, only to be left in Closure's Bargain Bin.
@@SevSymbol Mm, I don't mind it too much. Sure, I wish I was there to grow along with the game when it first started, maybe I would've gotten more limited Ops like the R6 Banners, but the fact that I can clear most content on my own with the use of low star operators is amazing.
@@SevSymbol dont worry you can easily catch up. granted you would have missed events and such but they do have reruns and you can do it in the side story panel. The game takes brain power when you start out but I found it fun and enjoyable and I have kept playing even if I start almost a year post launch.
@@SevSymbolbeing late into the game isn’t a bad thing. You didn’t make a maxed out E2 Frostleaf because you thought that attack range boost was a good idea…
there isn't much to catch up this isn't HI3 - where you need specific operator with matching type/element to do the weekly abyss run coz game has weekly modifiers; arknights operates on rule "If it works, it works". That's why we have so much nicheKnights going on and all of them are viable just relax, build whoever you want and gradually build your skill; you'll eventually overgrow your operators and stop (possibly) feeling pressured to kill every mice with a warhammer
@@AlbRomanoAnd really their first skill isn’t even bad because the RNG is beneficial. Sure, I’ve never used their second skill, but the drawback isn’t so bad now that operators like Lumen and therapists exist.
You know this video made me realise just how much you love bringing up Vigil. Is it that you're just so baffled a 6 star can be so dysfunctional, or are you disappointed that this is how they chose to portray the peak Italian male physique
Funnily enough, the one useful thing I used quartz on is her tanking the artillery in chapter 10 without dying, so I can just let her be lane holder with skill 1 and a medic for support XD
I actually did something similar with Hung! The 15% less damage module works against true damage as well (Idl why but I'm not complaining) and because he has 3 block, def sp that benefits from plentiful shity enemies, and self healing he managed to stop every enemy in it's tracks and survive the canon by himself, freeing a team spot!
I like Ebenholz' S2 with Sui's wrath in IS3 (Sui's wrath : deal 3000 true damage every time an allied unit is deployed). Yes that collectible works with every single ghost thingy Eben summons.
If you like that a lot, you should try same thing with trapmaster. Yes, every trap counts too! So you basically deal 3000 dmg every 5 seconds providing you will put down traps.
I adore mostima. This is entirely because she buffs goldenglows SP regen. That's honestly reason enough. At this point most of my strategies are just "goldenglow, and whoever else exists who can buff goldenglow or help not die whilst goldenglow isn't doing everything"
Mostima was always mediocre, but she was always so much fun that for like a year at the start I brought her everywhere. A few weeks ago I finally S3M3 and max module her. So worth it, I can finally bring her to all stages again without questioning my choices. Now she is useful just by existing in a corner even if she never attacks. (Tho I still prefer it when she attacks obviously) Also I forgot how useful her talent is for SP regen on the casters I already use. Her utility overall is so good now.
We appreciate your honesty SUPAH. It takes a lot of balls to say something bad about someones favorite operators. You always open my eyes. Edit: I'm glad the operators I use (i think) don't fit the category.
Hey SUPAH, great vid but I think you always miss the core issue with Nigthmare. In my opinion the slow part is not that bad, because if you're not blocking the enemy it'll usually deal considerable dmg. The true issie in my opinion is that you can't be creative with it because of the way she is coded. 'Cause the logical thing would be (to my mind) is to pair her with a pusher like Weedy, but (this is not standed in the description of her s2, but i tested it) THE DEBUFF ONLY APPLIES IN HER RANGE AND IF THE ENEMY LEAVES HER RANGE THE DEBUFF IMMEDIATLY DISAPPERS. So in a sense she is bRoKeN.
Is this an intermittent bug? I've had enemies die from the S2 true damage after an enemy exited Nightmare's range. I've also retreated Nightmare immediately after her skill triggered just to test how much damage it deals. I didn't try using her with Weedy though. Can you record a vid of this bug or tell me which stage and setup you used? Note: My Weedy's S3 is not M3. I'm interested.
The worst ones are the ones that aren't Gummy 😌 Jokes aside, operators that have things that contradict their kit horribly are the worst ones... Or the ones with stats low as fu-
Carnelian is a phalanx caster, she supposed to be a psuedo defender that you can deploy on the ranged tile. So, i think making her activate her skill to deal damage is optional.. Until they released pink rat.
I do not care how good or bad an operator is. Everyone finds fun in their own ways, some people wanna be the best while I wanna make my own stories and thus do pretty much whatever my heart desires. I was given the choice of building Aciddrop or Pinecone to have an anti-high defense close-range sniper and I chose Aciddrop despite her just being worse, because I liked her more and found her more fun. I had the choice of building Lappland or Thorns or Ayerscarpe as my main Lords to use. I build Lappland because she's my favorite character in all media and use her in pretty much every single stage ever, I sometimes whip out Thorns, and I plan to build Ayerscape in the future when I think he'd be fun to mesh with others, even though his talent is just worse Angelina who I also have yet decided not to build because she's not fun to me. I do not care about meta. I happen to go into meta when I think it'll be fun or that one time I built Surtr from E0 to E2 in a single day just because I was getting mad at a single stage I was stuck in and then now I never use her ever again. That's basically the one and only exception and I think that's fair because that stage sucked-no one likes getting stuck. Needless to say, my opinion shifts greatlyaway from people who actually care about being the best. Like, I legit plan to beat Talulah with the main squad being Lappland, Glaucus, Absinthe, and Kirara. I am that committed to my favorite characters that I would do the craziest shit to make the comp work. That's how I personally find fun. Other people find fun their own way and that's p cool that the game allows that variety.
True dude, true. There should be room for niche enjoyers and meta enjoyers alike. You can debate on operator value, but I sometimes feel like both sides of this community *can* be way too toxic towards eachother.
I wanna add to the Vigil conversation a bit, because I did actually find a use for him.. though specifically on my no gacha account. His wolf is pretty good for baiting the big cannon.. aaand for the previous CC event. He was able to pull double duty in blocking and killing early enemies and generating some amount of dp. Does this mean he is good? No :)
The only reason I like Vigil is because is S1 alone makes him (or mainly his wolves) a free defender, since the wolves doesn't take up deployment cost unlike Monst3r. But indeed, the way he generates DP sucks ass and I can just use Elysium S1 M3 with ease. His E2 design is just so cool I often think 'good E2 art = good kit/skills', but that's not the case for him, sadly.
I think the problem with Vigil is Beanstalk in many ways does it better, her 3 block summon and resuscitation skills are slow, but they are also on command, meaning you can time WHEN you want the extra blockers, that said, Blacknight has the same problem, but makes it up with more "offensive" skills. Vigil has shitty tri-block, which alwayse seems to be worn down before I can use it.
Are they bad Operators? Yes. Will that stop me from using them? No because I love using them. But Frostleaf does desperately need something. Please, HG. Anything.
0:44 no but seriously tho, my Skadi tends to stay almost 100% of the time making pizzas when she is on dorm, I know its just coincidence but everytime she go to that dorm, she is behind the pizza thing.
Been in the game...how long has it been out now...3 months after release anyways. Since the beginning I always watched or read guides that explained the good and bad of a unit. Then Mostima happened and I was a simp. Some time later she got her module lv 3 and I became a bigger simp. Anyways I agree with your points, contradictory kits, long cooldowns, having to adjust all strategy around one unit for it to do it's thing and some others. But alot of the units are bad but still fun or amusing.
I actually use Toddifons alot especially in IS as she's pretty versatile, good range skill one hit's heavy targets hard with a 20% defence debuff and a 120% attack buff and skill 2 hits hard with AOE. Overall a pretty good operator.
It always sucks when there’s that ONE THING holding an operator back and their module does EVERYTHING BUT fix that one thing. Like…you had ONE JOB Hypergryph….
I love to try and dig the use of some nicheknight. But not even beehunter and matoimaru can save quartz. Her attack was slow, she received every damage as it is. Even matoi know how to reduce the amount by bit
Vigil ticks 2, 3, 4, 6 and arguably even 1. Though 1 is not that bad as people say I think. Vigil can actually do insane dps, but since his wolves die so fast due to bad stats it hardly matters in practice so the dps falls off towards subpar numbers anyhow. Module can fix his wolf survival, but it will still be worse than Mumu for damage, utility and flexibility at that point so +F Vigil.
I like Hooel, eveen at E1 50, she pulls a lot of weight in various stages and events with S2 being a burst dps that kills elites, bosses, and all kinds of other stuff on a rather fast cooldown. Since it interrupts enemies, it also decreases the pressure on my guards which are no more than E1 50/55. Also comboes well with marksman snipers that can finally use their anti air bonuses.
For me some operator are suck because they have bad skill cycle. Short duration skill with short downtime is much better than long duration skill with long downtime for me. My girl Leizi pre-module have a really bad skill cycle despite the good dps, 80 sp make her usually only activate her skill once or twice per stage, but the module fix all of her issues. She also become my core operator in SSS despite having many good 6 stars since her skill basically always up. I just hope HG can be better at designing module AND who they choose to get them, like what's the point of giving Texas alter and Ling a module when you have Vigil and Frostleaf that desperately need it?
"Eunectis is bad because she ruins any ass that comes within her range, so she can't charge her skills in order to ruin them harder." That's Gummy levels of analysis.
When an operator become usable, the operator works, if it's situational or versatile is based on the own operator style, the same apply to dependents operators and just for this isn't bad (Nightmare for example that make me remeber Kuroko playstyle) I do not guess that broken stategies should be compared, especially when realize meta in Arknights is most used to think less... in a strategy game I know that you never sayed this and you refered to something else, but I just want to clarify this. Nevermind
I sure hope you're not trying to imply the 99% slow on infinite targets god Mostima is 'bad' Bahaha calling the summoners bad too, absolute skill issue.
Summoners are, in fact, bad. You need to learn them and when you're done it's still better to use anyone else. While objectively speaking they can do great things like solo a lot of stages, it's just not worth it compared to using normal operators for much more reward obtained easier.
I mean, she is. She's definitely the worst Block 0 and definitely low tier in the specialists, but she isn't near the actually terrible operators of this game. She's mid pending toward bad
Genuine question here: Is DP cost even a thing anymore? People keep bring it, but at the same time they keep saying how much Flag-Pipe has broken DP generation so much that DP is basically a none stat
Not really. DP cost isn't a factor unless you bring 3 to 5 high DP cost units. Which means high DP cost is still a problem if: 1) You don't have flagpipe, this is a gacha. Or 2) You put 3 to 5 high cost units in the squad.
First of all people that argue that arknights has no bad operators has SERIOUS copium issues And secondly what makes an operator bad is not its lackluster damage its the terrible niche covarage And operator can litterally deal 700k true damage and it will still be bad if it only usable on non elite weight 1 enemies An operator not doing its niche properly also fits into this Ebenholz is the most painful example of this His kit is obviously ST huge burst damage orianted but his s2 is just completely against this and his s3 outside the first burst hardly uses this niche
Can you make a base guide video that even a brain-dead person can understand how it works like Control Center, Power Plant, Factory, Trading Post and the rest of the base. I have so many operators, I have no what the best synergy is.
Gummy is best operator! How about operators who are 5* traps/resource black holes? Can you do a video taking trash about operators to avoid if you have a better option from the 6*, 5*, or even 4* lists? You already covered why Saileach doesn’t compete with Myrtle or even Elysium. How about more examples, like why Click is second only to Goldenglow among that type of caster (especially for the investment).
My definition of bad operator is any and all operators who isnt a spreadshooter sniper and doesnt have a skill that increases their attack by a large amount, doubles their shot, slows enemies, reduces enemy defense, and has an ammo system that can be deactivated anytime 💀
Okay calling an operator bad just because they are not generalists is straight up dumb... Nichy operators are really good in my book, as long as they do what they are meant to do. Vigil is dogwater even by this definition, since he doesn't even print dp... But others, like eben, at the end of the day allow players to decide their own playstyle. It's a gameplay preference, and saying that any non broken unit is "bad" just because they can't multitask into killing the boss, killing the enemies, tanking the boss and making me a sandwich while doing my taxes is straight up wrong. Different ops are meant for different people with different playstyle preference. You are also really blurring the line between the words "easy" and "good". Being hard to use, in some cases is a valid reason to say that an operator is bad (inconsistencies like rng or whatever), but arguing that magallan or mayer are bad just because those are hard to use... dude, it's a single-player game and those operators allow us to chose our own difficulty. Bad operators are those, who are unable to perform even if u put the effort in, not those who require it. At the end of the day, you seem to forget, that there are other people who don't like this braindead way of playing when you place chalter, mlynar and kill everything. It's a game, and your "bad" operators are other's great operators. It's a straight up wrong word to use. Truly bad ops are those who are unable to do what they are meant to do, no matter how much skill you pour into them, or how much levels you give them, like vigil or frostleaf. P. S. Honestly, the thing that triggered me is you calling ebenholz bad.. When he works, he slaps hard (he can oneshot cars in cc11 on risk 20 which trivializes the problem with just one operator, or he can oneshot those dudes that summon drones in the walk in the dust event, so they don't have the time to summon any at all). It's okay to be a casual player, but shitting on niche ops just because they require an ounce bit more of brain power to use is... sad...
can't believe in 2023 people still think Mostima is "bad" with her module upgrade out for a few months. Either you never use her with module on, or you really just a meta-slave enjoying the brain dead experience brought by Mlynar and Chalter.
I was not ready for that Elysium gay comment I'm dying 😂 (and true him and Thorns do have gay $eks everyday) keep up the amazing videos, love the humor!
7:00 its hard to explain but I will use Gummy as an example to describle Elben; For you, using Gummy on every stage doesnt feel like a bad way to play and Elben users actually like having to adapt to play around him so its basically the same; the "annoying mechanic" for using him isnt annoying at all because they enjoy it. Yes, it isnt for everybody but its like saying playing a specific *class*knights isnt fun for you, fun is objective. I myself like Fia and Rosmontis but I know I will have to focus the strategy around them cuz they attention and Im ok with that cuz I like using them to deal with things.
@Neisse the thing is: for those who like him, it isnt "something I have to deal with" but a nice different way of playing the game, got it? Its like working on a job you really like; for others it may look boring or hard or even annoying but for you it is not that big of a deal.
Vigil is my go-to lane holder and vanguard when dealing with fewer OPs risks in CC, he's like a half Mountain + half exu + half scavenger. And he does a really good job at that, people just hate that he can't solo bosses being a vanguard, I think only Bagpipe can and she's the best vanguard in the game 🤔 Also, pair him with gnosis so the enemy can't kill the wolfpack and Vigil's S3 gets REALLY strong
Vigil optimally can do 4.8k dps without a debuffer or buffer. With only Skalter S2 buff it goes up to 7,2k iirc. The issue is how clunkily squish his wolves are so he almost never does peak damage. I love using my boy, but I can't claim he is an alpha wolf like this. So much fun to use, and the role compression is underrated. He is clunky, true, but he is overhated. He is still pretty decent overall unlike Frostleaf or Tsukinogi.
Mostima? Bad? Probably. But I will still use her for everything. already maxed her skill 2-3 and lvl 90’d her. Am I better off using my Dusk? Most likely. I just love Mostima. She’s saved my ass a couple times in some stages and IS runs.
i skipped the learning part with Magallan so your point is invalid !!! just have your brain wired differently !!! /j though yes, it's a scary thought but she needs to catch up to Ling somehow (she can't) also very specific but i think Magallan S3 is easier to use than Ling S2
his S2 are pretty much adnaciel kit, he will ignore all air unit if there are ranged mob on his range. the good thing is it targeting quirk came from his S2 and not his talent so he can still act like anti air sniper when S2 is not active.
Insider literally have the highest attack among non 6* Marksmen and his skill have low cooldown. I'm confused why SUPAH even bringed him up as he is far from bad and great even depending on your needs.
@@januszpolak254 rather than calling it "bad", i would say "not great" because of his S2 targeting priority. in my opinion when an ops that already have unique targeting system (like anti-air sniper that focus at aerial/hovering enemies etc) change their targeting priority because of talent or skill will make them a bit complicated to use since their basic role will be override when things happen. adnaciel are the most obvious example of this where he will ignore aerial enemies when enemy caster in his range....
He is indeed pretty good, he deals very good damage and his ammo system gives you a lot of control over his skill cycles (pretty much a sidegrade to Kroos alter and Platinum) people talk about his weird targeting system but that's really one of the reasons to use him, to weed out dangerous ranged enemies from amongst groups of enemies, and unlike Adnachiel this priority is tied to a skill rather than permanent, so if you need him to switch back to prioritizing drones you can manually deactivate his skill whenever you need.
I tried reverse image searching it, but I can't find it. Literally just gives me gummy images, many of which don't even look like the gummy in the image. Casually ignoring Ifrit too. Did the algorithm get dumber? Oh well.

Vigil actually has a niche. If one day a boss that can't be nuked down and can only be blocked by units with 3 Block is added into a CC (or, well, its replacement) with a Block down tag, apparently Vigil's wolves aren't affected by the Block down tag.
It's just that, you know, we've never had that niche be needed
Ok let just say that boss exist and we have the block down tag, what do you think will happen next ? The wolf will block the boss and it gonna get one-shoted anyway. Remember the wolf only have 1100 hp(not counting hp down tag) before it goes down to 2. In this situation is just better to use suzuran to slow it down and kill it.
That's some "once every 100 years" profecy kinda thing
Yeah and the boss will just kill the wolves
My stall squad is ready
sure, and when that day happens there'll be other, probably better, ways to deal with it
My girl Frostleaf has been done SO dirty. My girl stinky as hell with how much her kit sucks. I know modules are kind of stupid sometimes, but I legitimately look forward to the day Frostleaf gets a module and she gets a second ability that allows her to deal extra damage to slowed or binded enemies or at the very least allows her to inflict cold with her normal attacks giving her a legitimate niche. No, I am NOT huffing copium. Frostleaf already has been done dirty even in the actual Arknights canon, she really deserves better than whatever the hell her kit is! XP
At the very least, Frostleaf would be a much simpler fix than Spuria and Quartz because at least she's in a overall good archtype that hasn't had a module yet. Not even Spuria's module could make her useable, and Quartz even with a good module I'd argue is impossible to legitimately fix because her archtype is the actual worst. She could be given an actual defense stat and she would still suck ass because of everything else surrounding her. Those two would actually have literally everything about them completely scrapped and rebuilt from the ground-up to be even remotely decent. And while Frostleaf is technically still the worst unit, I geniunely believe she could have a chance to be remotely useable if HG bothered to make small tweaks to her abilities or just give her a new ability like they did with units like Shirayuki (who also has an ability that lowers her ASPD, but actually gives her more ATK, and it's on a unit with already slow ASPD so it's not the worst trade-off).
I guess what I've been trying to say with this goddamn essay of a comment is that while some units are simply bad because they were a complete mistake to begin with as with the case with units like Quartz, others are bad but they absolutely DON'T NEED TO BE. Some of these bad units could be on the verge of being actually decent units (or at the very least far less bad) with just the smallest bit of tweaks to their kits. But the sad truth is that HG can't be bothered with any of this shit and would rather just keep throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks instead of actually helping out operators that desperately need it. But I'm just a random Frostleaf simp on copium giving out his thoughts on the matter.
Frostleaf with the ability to inflict cold + Gnosis = one of the best duo
*And while Frostleaf is technically still the worst unit*
She's really not the worst. I know what SUPAH said, but SUPAH's reasoning has one major flaw: Being bad at a strong role is much, much better than being mediocre in a bad role (Jackie, Beehunter, Tsukinogi), or just being bad in a bad role (Quartz).
To verify this, ask yourself: What unit am I likely to pick more? Beehunter, a 1-block guard with a luck-based dodge-mechanic who is completely useless against moderate defense enemies or stronger, or Frostleaf, a Bad Lord with solid basic stats, 2 block, a wider attack range and the ability to hit flyers?
For most of AK's content, FrostLeaf is going to be better, solely by the grace of her archetype, if only because being able to do SOME damage at range over multiple lanes to light and medium defense enemies while blocking 2 enemies beats the hell out of doing jack-shit against a third of the enemy roster and not even excelling in that regard.
And no, Beehunter excelling in precisely one specific place in CC does not change that whatsoever because CC is objectively, a tiny fraction of AK's content.
And Beehunter isn't even the worst unit; that's Quartz. A unit whose entire archetype is only useful as a Hammer in a Hammer & Anvil chokepoint configuration...and who is completely outdone by the Juggernaut and Dreadnought archetypes in every way even at her rarity or less.
Other than she can apply cold, I'm already really happy if module remove her increased attack interval talent
Ebenholz is quite finicky to use true but I find it fairly easy to just spawn camp elites with him. As long as the frequency of elites is less than one every 20 seconds he can handle them easily
Sadly he basically became useless now
Thyphon does his niche MILES better
@@kyarumomochi5146 Thypon have blind spot while he doesn't you can use both to cover their ranges.
@@januszpolak254 Except her extended range is MUCH more useful as you will RARELLY need to get enemies THAT CLOSE to ebenholz or Thyphon in the first place
Also once Thyphon locks up she practically has no blind spots for that enemy unlike eben
Eben and Amiya are all the casters i'm using and they simply get the job done. Like, excuse him for not being broken or on par with meta ops but he's perfectly fine.
@@Kimri so what's the point in using them as long as there are other ops that can do the same job as them but even better? Like good for you, it's your account, but there is no reason for anyone to follow your playstyle.
The high learning curve for little reward is a very good point. There's really no reason to use weaker operators other than because you like the character, like self-imposed challenged or just want to show off.
it's about "what does fulfil you personally"
if you are grabbing surtr for every stage, finish event in 2 hours - and then feel "daaamn, that was so good - i really enjoyed all of the stages and the way i beat them" - then yes, you are doing the right thing
but if peeps playing for the sake of simply winning and not having fun in the process - then the whole point is lost
I thought #5 is basically "Not being a Gummy"
i genuinely thought so too
I thought that too
I’d fallen for it too, and was genuinely taken off guard when he had something else in mind.
As someone who's still quite new in Arknights, I like guides that explain an operator as a whole, (Advantages and Disadvantages). I understand that the game has a lot of operators that can potentially be god tier in a specific circumstance or if you were the least skilled CN player, but just because my lawnmower can cut grass, doesn't mean it can cut hedges too. This helps me judge whether I have a place for them on my team, and whether or not I can supplement/handle their quirks, and not just another operator that could be good if I built for one level, only to be left in Closure's Bargain Bin.
My friend, I too am quite new. But sad to say, I believe we started a little *too* late into the launch of the game
@@SevSymbol Mm, I don't mind it too much. Sure, I wish I was there to grow along with the game when it first started, maybe I would've gotten more limited Ops like the R6 Banners, but the fact that I can clear most content on my own with the use of low star operators is amazing.
@@SevSymbol dont worry you can easily catch up. granted you would have missed events and such but they do have reruns and you can do it in the side story panel. The game takes brain power when you start out but I found it fun and enjoyable and I have kept playing even if I start almost a year post launch.
@@SevSymbolbeing late into the game isn’t a bad thing. You didn’t make a maxed out E2 Frostleaf because you thought that attack range boost was a good idea…
there isn't much to catch up
this isn't HI3 - where you need specific operator with matching type/element to do the weekly abyss run coz game has weekly modifiers; arknights operates on rule "If it works, it works". That's why we have so much nicheKnights going on and all of them are viable
just relax, build whoever you want and gradually build your skill; you'll eventually overgrow your operators and stop (possibly) feeling pressured to kill every mice with a warhammer
Honestly i will never let Vigil go for the fact that he makes 2 fucking DP
Funny to think that even conviction, a joke operator can do so much better than some operators.
Conviction is "bad" because of RNG, but they can claim the highest single hit damage on the game, and bragging rights are always nice.
@@AlbRomanoAnd really their first skill isn’t even bad because the RNG is beneficial.
Sure, I’ve never used their second skill, but the drawback isn’t so bad now that operators like Lumen and therapists exist.
You know this video made me realise just how much you love bringing up Vigil. Is it that you're just so baffled a 6 star can be so dysfunctional, or are you disappointed that this is how they chose to portray the peak Italian male physique
I just find it very hilarious he makes TWO dp
@@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH Just because he's Sicilian doesn't mean you should rag on him so hard, he can't help it.
Funnily enough, the one useful thing I used quartz on is her tanking the artillery in chapter 10 without dying, so I can just let her be lane holder with skill 1 and a medic for support XD
I actually did something similar with Hung! The 15% less damage module works against true damage as well (Idl why but I'm not complaining) and because he has 3 block, def sp that benefits from plentiful shity enemies, and self healing he managed to stop every enemy in it's tracks and survive the canon by himself, freeing a team spot!
7:08
I like Ebenholz' S2 with Sui's wrath in IS3 (Sui's wrath : deal 3000 true damage every time an allied unit is deployed). Yes that collectible works with every single ghost thingy Eben summons.
If you like that a lot, you should try same thing with trapmaster. Yes, every trap counts too! So you basically deal 3000 dmg every 5 seconds providing you will put down traps.
I gotta try this 😮
On a similar note, Beanstalk S2 summons four crabs. Turns out it's pretty strong when your 4* Tactician Vanguard also has a 12k aoe arts nuke.
Trapmasters, Ebenholz, W. Perfectly balanced.
The only Good Operators are those in Gummy's archetype because they appreciate the beauty of the Healing/Tanking trait
I expected Frostleaf is in the video. Hopefully she'll get alter so Supah won't bully her anymore 🤣
Qiubai already came out
It wont work. Look skalter and how supah react to it
amen.. i want to use both qiubai and frostlead if thats the future..
Mostima with the module is pretty good. Reduced DP cost and global slow. Good thing I love her enough to put a module on her.
Fellow Mostima enjoyer! It's very nice that she costs less than max pot Lava.
I adore mostima.
This is entirely because she buffs goldenglows SP regen.
That's honestly reason enough. At this point most of my strategies are just "goldenglow, and whoever else exists who can buff goldenglow or help not die whilst goldenglow isn't doing everything"
Mostima was always mediocre, but she was always so much fun that for like a year at the start I brought her everywhere.
A few weeks ago I finally S3M3 and max module her. So worth it, I can finally bring her to all stages again without questioning my choices. Now she is useful just by existing in a corner even if she never attacks.
(Tho I still prefer it when she attacks obviously)
Also I forgot how useful her talent is for SP regen on the casters I already use. Her utility overall is so good now.
6:23 Dang SUPAH. No need to expose us like that 😅😂
as a day 1 player, making weird and bad operators work kept me from leaving the game. cant wait for spuria to come to my account
What makes an operator bad? My personal experience of course. If I can't sweep every stage with an operator then they're bad
yas queen preech
@@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH Yes Estelle Bright is a queen indeed and you should totally play her game
We appreciate your honesty SUPAH.
It takes a lot of balls to say something bad about someones favorite operators.
You always open my eyes.
Edit: I'm glad the operators I use (i think) don't fit the category.
Hey SUPAH, great vid but I think you always miss the core issue with Nigthmare. In my opinion the slow part is not that bad, because if you're not blocking the enemy it'll usually deal considerable dmg. The true issie in my opinion is that you can't be creative with it because of the way she is coded. 'Cause the logical thing would be (to my mind) is to pair her with a pusher like Weedy, but (this is not standed in the description of her s2, but i tested it) THE DEBUFF ONLY APPLIES IN HER RANGE AND IF THE ENEMY LEAVES HER RANGE THE DEBUFF IMMEDIATLY DISAPPERS. So in a sense she is bRoKeN.
Is this an intermittent bug? I've had enemies die from the S2 true damage after an enemy exited Nightmare's range. I've also retreated Nightmare immediately after her skill triggered just to test how much damage it deals. I didn't try using her with Weedy though. Can you record a vid of this bug or tell me which stage and setup you used? Note: My Weedy's S3 is not M3. I'm interested.
well played on the Skadi thumbnail bait lol
3:36 that was just SO OUTTA the blue im cackling so hard rn
I love your italian accent. I just imagine you making hand gestures while talking/reading your script.
The worst ones are the ones that aren't Gummy 😌
Jokes aside, operators that have things that contradict their kit horribly are the worst ones... Or the ones with stats low as fu-
Carnelian is a phalanx caster, she supposed to be a psuedo defender that you can deploy on the ranged tile. So, i think making her activate her skill to deal damage is optional.. Until they released pink rat.
5:06 lappland spotted
I do not care how good or bad an operator is. Everyone finds fun in their own ways, some people wanna be the best while I wanna make my own stories and thus do pretty much whatever my heart desires.
I was given the choice of building Aciddrop or Pinecone to have an anti-high defense close-range sniper and I chose Aciddrop despite her just being worse, because I liked her more and found her more fun. I had the choice of building Lappland or Thorns or Ayerscarpe as my main Lords to use. I build Lappland because she's my favorite character in all media and use her in pretty much every single stage ever, I sometimes whip out Thorns, and I plan to build Ayerscape in the future when I think he'd be fun to mesh with others, even though his talent is just worse Angelina who I also have yet decided not to build because she's not fun to me.
I do not care about meta. I happen to go into meta when I think it'll be fun or that one time I built Surtr from E0 to E2 in a single day just because I was getting mad at a single stage I was stuck in and then now I never use her ever again. That's basically the one and only exception and I think that's fair because that stage sucked-no one likes getting stuck.
Needless to say, my opinion shifts greatlyaway from people who actually care about being the best. Like, I legit plan to beat Talulah with the main squad being Lappland, Glaucus, Absinthe, and Kirara. I am that committed to my favorite characters that I would do the craziest shit to make the comp work. That's how I personally find fun. Other people find fun their own way and that's p cool that the game allows that variety.
True dude, true. There should be room for niche enjoyers and meta enjoyers alike.
You can debate on operator value, but I sometimes feel like both sides of this community *can* be way too toxic towards eachother.
Bro delivered the coldest, most frigid take ever
I wanna add to the Vigil conversation a bit, because I did actually find a use for him.. though specifically on my no gacha account. His wolf is pretty good for baiting the big cannon.. aaand for the previous CC event. He was able to pull double duty in blocking and killing early enemies and generating some amount of dp.
Does this mean he is good? No :)
The only reason I like Vigil is because is S1 alone makes him (or mainly his wolves) a free defender, since the wolves doesn't take up deployment cost unlike Monst3r. But indeed, the way he generates DP sucks ass and I can just use Elysium S1 M3 with ease. His E2 design is just so cool I often think 'good E2 art = good kit/skills', but that's not the case for him, sadly.
I think the problem with Vigil is Beanstalk in many ways does it better, her 3 block summon and resuscitation skills are slow, but they are also on command, meaning you can time WHEN you want the extra blockers, that said, Blacknight has the same problem, but makes it up with more "offensive" skills. Vigil has shitty tri-block, which alwayse seems to be worn down before I can use it.
Vigil's niche is making you spend all your resources on him because *New Operator™* and then live to regret it
i have never been offended more, by the thing i 100% agree with
Are they bad Operators? Yes.
Will that stop me from using them? No because I love using them.
But Frostleaf does desperately need something. Please, HG. Anything.
0:44 no but seriously tho, my Skadi tends to stay almost 100% of the time making pizzas when she is on dorm, I know its just coincidence but everytime she go to that dorm, she is behind the pizza thing.
Been in the game...how long has it been out now...3 months after release anyways. Since the beginning I always watched or read guides that explained the good and bad of a unit. Then Mostima happened and I was a simp. Some time later she got her module lv 3 and I became a bigger simp. Anyways I agree with your points, contradictory kits, long cooldowns, having to adjust all strategy around one unit for it to do it's thing and some others. But alot of the units are bad but still fun or amusing.
I actually use Toddifons alot especially in IS as she's pretty versatile, good range skill one hit's heavy targets hard with a 20% defence debuff and a 120% attack buff and skill 2 hits hard with AOE.
Overall a pretty good operator.
She was really nice in chapter 10. Almost every enemy was Sarkaz.
It always sucks when there’s that ONE THING holding an operator back and their module does EVERYTHING BUT fix that one thing. Like…you had ONE JOB Hypergryph….
imagine someday Frostleft become meta operator
Forstleaf alter when
Frost Leaf alter maybe
I love to try and dig the use of some nicheknight. But not even beehunter and matoimaru can save quartz. Her attack was slow, she received every damage as it is. Even matoi know how to reduce the amount by bit
I have skadi and mostima at e1 and two and both of them are good!
(I am coping so hard rn)
Just wait till you build their modules, you won't be disappointed.
Vigil ticks 2, 3, 4, 6 and arguably even 1. Though 1 is not that bad as people say I think.
Vigil can actually do insane dps, but since his wolves die so fast due to bad stats it hardly matters in practice so the dps falls off towards subpar numbers anyhow.
Module can fix his wolf survival, but it will still be worse than Mumu for damage, utility and flexibility at that point so +F Vigil.
Indeed, you have been talking about bad operators a lot recently. How does Gummy fit into all of this?
She's the polar opposite of a bad operator
@@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH man feel the screwed over blem, i was hoping to upgrade gummy to blem but blem's s1 requires a target so gummy still better lol
Why think when you can fish.
Also, it came to me in a dream, Frostleaf the Anti-Frostleaf (Alter) will be released, any time now...
Ah, the old "Something crashes in the background, cat sound effect" classic. I like it.
You might say you enjoy BADmouthing
ayooo need source for this one 0:41, so freakin gorgeous. I've check desc and seems couldn't find it
Someone made it for an art contest in my Discord Server. Here it is. files.catbox.moe/qh976r.png
@@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH wohoo thank you very much, my fav gummy fanart, straight up become my phone wallpaper. Well although she is always gorgeous
I like Hooel, eveen at E1 50, she pulls a lot of weight in various stages and events with S2 being a burst dps that kills elites, bosses, and all kinds of other stuff on a rather fast cooldown. Since it interrupts enemies, it also decreases the pressure on my guards which are no more than E1 50/55. Also comboes well with marksman snipers that can finally use their anti air bonuses.
7:08 ACE COMBAT MENTIONED
yo supah just want to say i can't look at my gnosis anymore without thinking he is an incel👍
My man Vigil get called out so many times XD
YEAAAH SOMEONE WHO GETS IT! Siege clears Saga for me because I have an E2 Level 90 Siege and don't have Saga!
9:50 Wow It's like you've read my mind. As expected from a perfect in every way being such as youself. ^_^
This video explains so much, cheers.
For me some operator are suck because they have bad skill cycle. Short duration skill with short downtime is much better than long duration skill with long downtime for me. My girl Leizi pre-module have a really bad skill cycle despite the good dps, 80 sp make her usually only activate her skill once or twice per stage, but the module fix all of her issues. She also become my core operator in SSS despite having many good 6 stars since her skill basically always up. I just hope HG can be better at designing module AND who they choose to get them, like what's the point of giving Texas alter and Ling a module when you have Vigil and Frostleaf that desperately need it?
Gummy is the worst operator in Arknights
she's so good and so amazing and so perfect that she makes you forget that there are other units in this game
9:38
This part made me laugh unreasonably hard XD
wtf, how did you get into my playlist folder
i listen to that mgrr soundtrack and Zero from ac0 pretty much everyday, that was spooky
Because my voice is music
"Eunectis is bad because she ruins any ass that comes within her range, so she can't charge her skills in order to ruin them harder." That's Gummy levels of analysis.
To me I think the amount of SP needed to use skill and the initial SP when you deploy the operator
Skadi and Mostima, the og bad operators, are on the thumbnail. It has been a long journey for them.
When an operator become usable, the operator works, if it's situational or versatile is based on the own operator style, the same apply to dependents operators and just for this isn't bad (Nightmare for example that make me remeber Kuroko playstyle)
I do not guess that broken stategies should be compared, especially when realize meta in Arknights is most used to think less... in a strategy game
I know that you never sayed this and you refered to something else, but I just want to clarify this. Nevermind
What happens if I don't max out my Gummy?
Death.
I sure hope you're not trying to imply the 99% slow on infinite targets god Mostima is 'bad'
Bahaha calling the summoners bad too, absolute skill issue.
Summoners are, in fact, bad. You need to learn them and when you're done it's still better to use anyone else. While objectively speaking they can do great things like solo a lot of stages, it's just not worth it compared to using normal operators for much more reward obtained easier.
So based of your criteria Kirara is actually pretty alright.
I mean, she is. She's definitely the worst Block 0 and definitely low tier in the specialists, but she isn't near the actually terrible operators of this game. She's mid pending toward bad
Genuine question here:
Is DP cost even a thing anymore?
People keep bring it, but at the same time they keep saying how much Flag-Pipe has broken DP generation so much that DP is basically a none stat
Not really. DP cost isn't a factor unless you bring 3 to 5 high DP cost units. Which means high DP cost is still a problem if: 1) You don't have flagpipe, this is a gacha. Or 2) You put 3 to 5 high cost units in the squad.
If bad why hot
Name a hot bad operator

Savage black thigh stocking
Tsukinogi skins and heavyrain skins.. too bad i cant justify buying them, because im building another bad hot operator..
First of all people that argue that arknights has no bad operators has SERIOUS copium issues
And secondly what makes an operator bad is not its lackluster damage its the terrible niche covarage
And operator can litterally deal 700k true damage and it will still be bad if it only usable on non elite weight 1 enemies
An operator not doing its niche properly also fits into this
Ebenholz is the most painful example of this
His kit is obviously ST huge burst damage orianted but his s2 is just completely against this and his s3 outside the first burst hardly uses this niche
Copium have broke their Mind
Can you make a base guide video that even a brain-dead person can understand how it works like Control Center, Power Plant, Factory, Trading Post and the rest of the base.
I have so many operators, I have no what the best synergy is.
For base stuff i recommend peteryr he has a lot of info about the base
6:15 I have never been offended so much by something that I %100 agree with.
A very based video. If you weren't italiano I would congratulate you further but there are limits.
The problem with some carriers... they can be replaced
Gummy is best operator!
How about operators who are 5* traps/resource black holes? Can you do a video taking trash about operators to avoid if you have a better option from the 6*, 5*, or even 4* lists? You already covered why Saileach doesn’t compete with Myrtle or even Elysium.
How about more examples, like why Click is second only to Goldenglow among that type of caster (especially for the investment).
My definition of bad operator is any and all operators who isnt a spreadshooter sniper and doesnt have a skill that increases their attack by a large amount, doubles their shot, slows enemies, reduces enemy defense, and has an ammo system that can be deactivated anytime 💀
Yeah, still no reason for Carnelian to be here.
thisss^
Never used gummy and never will.
*runs away at speed of light*
Ebenholz it's not bad, no one can look at him and not think "oh god, seggs!"
what was used for that dps comparison?
bad operators are the ones that I don't have.
It follows that if an operator is not pretty dogshit, they are Gummy. Therefore, Horn is Gummy. My logic is flawless.
Another bad op video. Another bashing of my poor Frostleaf. I shall remain here huffing copium that modules can save my chilly fox.
The modules CAN actually save her. Just remove the ASPD slow and she's like, only the 4th worst operator
@@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH Considering the ASPD slow comes from a talent, I fear that might just remain. So double dose of copium for me.
Nahhhh your sense of humor is way too funny, got me laughing off my chair again 🤣
Some of us doesnt watch analysis studio for you to think for us.. its so that we can force our ideal on you and hate you for not doing so..
I was expecting the mystery point to be "the operator is not gummy"
Okay calling an operator bad just because they are not generalists is straight up dumb... Nichy operators are really good in my book, as long as they do what they are meant to do. Vigil is dogwater even by this definition, since he doesn't even print dp... But others, like eben, at the end of the day allow players to decide their own playstyle. It's a gameplay preference, and saying that any non broken unit is "bad" just because they can't multitask into killing the boss, killing the enemies, tanking the boss and making me a sandwich while doing my taxes is straight up wrong. Different ops are meant for different people with different playstyle preference.
You are also really blurring the line between the words "easy" and "good". Being hard to use, in some cases is a valid reason to say that an operator is bad (inconsistencies like rng or whatever), but arguing that magallan or mayer are bad just because those are hard to use... dude, it's a single-player game and those operators allow us to chose our own difficulty. Bad operators are those, who are unable to perform even if u put the effort in, not those who require it.
At the end of the day, you seem to forget, that there are other people who don't like this braindead way of playing when you place chalter, mlynar and kill everything. It's a game, and your "bad" operators are other's great operators. It's a straight up wrong word to use.
Truly bad ops are those who are unable to do what they are meant to do, no matter how much skill you pour into them, or how much levels you give them, like vigil or frostleaf.
P. S. Honestly, the thing that triggered me is you calling ebenholz bad.. When he works, he slaps hard (he can oneshot cars in cc11 on risk 20 which trivializes the problem with just one operator, or he can oneshot those dudes that summon drones in the walk in the dust event, so they don't have the time to summon any at all). It's okay to be a casual player, but shitting on niche ops just because they require an ounce bit more of brain power to use is... sad...
can't believe in 2023 people still think Mostima is "bad" with her module upgrade out for a few months. Either you never use her with module on, or you really just a meta-slave enjoying the brain dead experience brought by Mlynar and Chalter.
I was not ready for that Elysium gay comment I'm dying 😂 (and true him and Thorns do have gay $eks everyday) keep up the amazing videos, love the humor!
7:00 its hard to explain but I will use Gummy as an example to describle Elben;
For you, using Gummy on every stage doesnt feel like a bad way to play and Elben users actually like having to adapt to play around him so its basically the same; the "annoying mechanic" for using him isnt annoying at all because they enjoy it. Yes, it isnt for everybody but its like saying playing a specific *class*knights isnt fun for you, fun is objective. I myself like Fia and Rosmontis but I know I will have to focus the strategy around them cuz they attention and Im ok with that cuz I like using them to deal with things.
@Neisse the thing is: for those who like him, it isnt "something I have to deal with" but a nice different way of playing the game, got it? Its like working on a job you really like; for others it may look boring or hard or even annoying but for you it is not that big of a deal.
Vigil is my go-to lane holder and vanguard when dealing with fewer OPs risks in CC, he's like a half Mountain + half exu + half scavenger.
And he does a really good job at that, people just hate that he can't solo bosses being a vanguard, I think only Bagpipe can and she's the best vanguard in the game 🤔
Also, pair him with gnosis so the enemy can't kill the wolfpack and Vigil's S3 gets REALLY strong
Vigil optimally can do 4.8k dps without a debuffer or buffer. With only Skalter S2 buff it goes up to 7,2k iirc.
The issue is how clunkily squish his wolves are so he almost never does peak damage.
I love using my boy, but I can't claim he is an alpha wolf like this.
So much fun to use, and the role compression is underrated.
He is clunky, true, but he is overhated. He is still pretty decent overall unlike Frostleaf or Tsukinogi.
Still waiting for a huge rework to the terrible husbandos out there
I was expecting skadi to being somewere
At the start
@@SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH wait 2 videos?
Mostima? Bad? Probably. But I will still use her for everything. already maxed her skill 2-3 and lvl 90’d her. Am I better off using my Dusk? Most likely.
I just love Mostima. She’s saved my ass a couple times in some stages and IS runs.
I genuinely never see an operator named spuria and this is the first time i heard of her.
i skipped the learning part with Magallan so your point is invalid !!! just have your brain wired differently !!! /j
though yes, it's a scary thought but she needs to catch up to Ling somehow (she can't)
also very specific but i think Magallan S3 is easier to use than Ling S2
The right answer in no.5 is "They are not Gummy".
Bro loves his Ego more than he loves Gummy
Vigil’s niche is that his s3 has a cool animation
Wait didn't Insider have pretty good damage boost with his skill, which makes him at least okay as just a regular Anti-Air Sniper?
Well now that I think about it, it's probably better to use Kroos just because she's cheap to build.
his S2 are pretty much adnaciel kit, he will ignore all air unit if there are ranged mob on his range.
the good thing is it targeting quirk came from his S2 and not his talent so he can still act like anti air sniper when S2 is not active.
Insider literally have the highest attack among non 6* Marksmen and his skill have low cooldown. I'm confused why SUPAH even bringed him up as he is far from bad and great even depending on your needs.
@@januszpolak254 rather than calling it "bad", i would say "not great" because of his S2 targeting priority.
in my opinion when an ops that already have unique targeting system (like anti-air sniper that focus at aerial/hovering enemies etc) change their targeting priority because of talent or skill will make them a bit complicated to use since their basic role will be override when things happen.
adnaciel are the most obvious example of this where he will ignore aerial enemies when enemy caster in his range....
He is indeed pretty good, he deals very good damage and his ammo system gives you a lot of control over his skill cycles (pretty much a sidegrade to Kroos alter and Platinum)
people talk about his weird targeting system but that's really one of the reasons to use him, to weed out dangerous ranged enemies from amongst groups of enemies, and unlike Adnachiel this priority is tied to a skill rather than permanent, so if you need him to switch back to prioritizing drones you can manually deactivate his skill whenever you need.
Does anyone have the source for the art at 12.10 ?
That art is absolutely blessed
(maybe I'm stupid but I can't find it on booru and pixiv)
I tried reverse image searching it, but I can't find it. Literally just gives me gummy images, many of which don't even look like the gummy in the image. Casually ignoring Ifrit too.
Did the algorithm get dumber? Oh well.
Not going to lie, i maxed out vigil and he feels pretty weak even if you utilize his talent passive.
