ARCHETTO MY DEAR WIFE AAAAAAA Ahem... Absolutely agree that they should make her theme to be our lobby theme. Make the background to be a wheat field like her beloved Landen Monastery... It's perfect! Now then, to make an actual substantial comment... I've used Archetto as my main sniper for as long as I've had her. I personally find it a bit unfair when she's being compared to Exusiai's S3 because Exusiai's S3 is made for single-target attacks, while Archetto's S3 is more for crowd damage with its multi-target. However, with their differences, Exusiai and Archetto actually works well together (despite Archetto's reservations regarding Exusiai) since then Archetto can handle the other targets if/when there's an enemy with taunt that will have all of Exusiai's attention. Regarding module, in general use, the ASPD up would help her well to damage ground enemies. I've tried to hyperbuff army the boss stage of Dolly with Archetto several times and since Archetto _have_ to deal with ground units, module Y proved to be better for all-around usage as opposed to X's air focused attacks. But as you said, there are times when X is better than Y, but generally speaking, you should go with Y. The SP generation isn't that worthwhile anyway, Archetto's own talents is enough to counterbalance her own SP needs. She's absolutely not the best, that's true. But she is absolutely fun to play with, and still managing to keep up with the generic enemies without much trouble. 'Course, issue comes when the high DEF enemies appear, but most Marksman Snipers would have problems anyway. Great guide! I absolutely agree with your take on the S1 vs S2 topic. My other input on that is when you're being lazy and that her S1 is sufficient enough, you can stick with S1 if you're lazy about activating her skill manually. Is it obvious I love Archetto?
From the beginning of her introduction, I basically pulled her regardless of the people who say she is bad. Sure she is lacking firepower than Exia, but at that time, the only sniper in her class which has controllable skill is Ash which has her own issue (if enemies cannot be stunned, her damage is basically a paper noodle). This controllable skill (and fast recharge due to it is offensive + auto regen) basically the one which sold me. Till this day, I use her more than Exia (albeit now I really like to use that sandbeast sniper).
I really like her, got her from shop, the skin, and M6. In total I agree with your conclusions, she is fun, yet weak. Is hard to recommend. Maybe s2 was ok when released, with the current enemy stats I feel it doesn’t do that much damage. S3 is also nice, but it has happen before that I had to replace her with Exu because strat wasn’t working. I wanted the mod to remove the sniper only restriction from the sp talent, or to give her rechargeable shields like Mud. The strongest sniper that can use the sp talent is Fia with S2. Jieyun S2 and Meteorite S1 can do the funny too, even more if you throw in a Ch’en in to the mix, but I still think using a 6* to buff a 5* is a bad deal. Like she is now, I think you are supposed to use her as helidrop s3.
weird add to her that does nothing to her gameplay, but i do love her VA given she reminds me of Celanya from Revived Witch, heck both of them use a bow
Used her to help beat the Witch King in the Leithanien event, if you dont have Exu than she does almost as good in most content. One of my first 6 stars and i still enjoy using her when i need the skies cleared of riff raff!
Pretty sure I pulled her on her OG banner. She’s fun and ended up being my main sniper for a little bit before I discovered Andreana and got Exu/built her. Sadly Exu was the better Mumu bot until the long and painful 119 pulls for Ela. Coming off the heels of meta stuff like Surtr did not help her, but she’s a breath of fresh air.
Archetto is very special to me because she's the first 6-star I got (I started in Oct 2023). Even now with more meta units in my account, I still use her a lot. As a bonus, she has the same JP VA as Furina.
@@ninji202 Well, yeah. Though, it's more that Archetto is terrible. As someone who has had both of them e2'd for years and has used both of them several times, here's my thoughts. Ash is a helidrop with Stun utility on a pretty short cooldown, who can actually do something against enemies with more than a small amount of defense, who has seen use in high risk CC. While a lot of bosses are immune to stun, not all are, and she still excels at deleting elite enemies. Whenever I bring her to a map, she puts in work. Archetto meanwhile is hard countered by enemies with even a little bit of armor, a crippling problem after the earlygame that makes her nearly useless in many events. She is outclassed in basically every role she can perform, since she is in a physically attacking archetype with low Atk (a very crowded subset of units), is basically a strictly worse buff recipient than Exu, and has no other ways of dealing with armor. Ultimately, the only thing she really excels at is killing frail trash mobs- which would have just died the second they got to my front line anyway. I have tried to use Archetto a few times because her SP talent is fun, but nearly every time I have tried to use her she ended up completely unable to scratch any of the enemies that posed a threat, leaving her complete deadweight aside from her talent. She is one of only two-ish six stars I have E2'd that I have found actively difficult to extract value from. I'm sure she could be helpful on more limited rosters, but you could say that about literally any unit.
@@ninji202 @ninji202 I looked at your Ash breakdown, to be thorough. I suppose I should use her a bit for more recent events and see how she performs, because it is true that I haven't used her recently. But, looks like regular enemies are still rarely stun immune, so absolute worst case you can think of her as a helidroppable single-target elite enemy nuke plus AoE stun on a 30 second rotation, which is pretty solid, especially with her module. She still does a surprisingly large amount of damage without it, even against reasonably defensive enemies.
@@patroka Your first reply got me to use archetto in several stages(H5-4 and H7-4) to see where you were coming from. But she did better than i was expecting in both stages. Sure against heavily armored(800+ def) targets she struggles and that ultimately what keeps her from being amazing but she can still be used in relatively difficult stages. Also you mentioned 2 6 stars that you found difficult to get value, Just curious what was the other 6 star?
I got Archetto as an off banner, and I'll be honest. Building her was a great idea, very reliable. Also nice nolegs pfp ✌️

my first 6 star op, and probably my favourite to use. Archetto supremacy 🔥

Arknights with Kingdom Rush music is not something I have thought of until now. Regarding Archetto, yes she's definitely fun to use.

Archetto and Pozy... the two girlies ive wanted to get since I started and the game has ardently refused to drop for me
Ain’t no way she’s seen as better than Ash lmao. I’ve used both of them a good amount and I do NOT believe that for even a second lol
So you think ash is better?
