@@frauflaw100edibleorganicco9 As someone who used Executor alter in H13-4, I personally think his heals are plenty enough, at least when his S3 is up. But he just kind of disintegrates when dealing with ranged enemies.

Overall Nightingale is your life saver for arts damage ennemies -Ptilopsis : She is more used as a support operators because of her talent but she can provide really good heal with her S2 that reduce her attack interval and expand her range for 40s , her talent increase the SP recovery of all allies by 0.3SP/sec and 0.35SP/sec in her range with her module. Overall good medic and good support for operator that have high SP skill or for like nymph that can make her able to lock ennemies with fear forever
Supporter : -Virtuosa : The best support in the game , she can inflinct necrosis damage and make ennemies take more necrosis damage in her range with her module she get even better at inflincting necrosis damage , she get better with time past , her S1 is good for AFK and is able to kill patriot phase 1 alone , S2 can be used as a pair with some operator like LappyAlter S3 and S3 his her most used Skill that increase her range and proving a large amount of necrosis damage while also buffing allies with highest max HP , ATK and DEF - Ling : Ling is really good she can solo almost every stages alone but she struggle with new stages, she can summon dragons that can be cobined with her S3 giving them 4 block count and overall high stat , her skill make them inflinct ART damage every sec, they also gain +100% ATK and DEF that make them overall hard to kill. Ling is a special case as an operator but she took every deployement slot -Skalter/Theresa : Both are good at healing, specially healing allies operator that normally can't be healed , one is more focus on buffing allies , her S1 procing good amount of Healing , S2 is a AFK skill that give good Buff and S3 giving her more Buff with the downside of loosing a certain amount of HP per sec , she also has a summon that expand her range in a 3x3 area, the other one is better for healing , S1 is an AFK skill that dosn't give buff but better heal overall , S2 Giving her ATK buff and inflinct true damage to ennemies that are hit by her particles , also binding ennemies forever and give Inspiration to allies in her attack range , and S3 is her global healing ability that make every allies unable to get killed she redistribute HP every 2s and can make operator like Surtr S3 live longer -Suzuran : She is used as a debuff for ennemies with her S3 by slowing them in a insane area of range while also inflinct them fraggile and healing allies operator in range, she also Increased support SP recovery rate by 0.2/second and can overall inflinct fragile even without her skill if ennemies are slowed in her range -Shamare : Shamare isn't very popular but she is really good and underrated, her talent make every ennemies withing range that have -40% hp taking 30% fragile but what make her so good his her S2 that give her a Curse doll that can be used every 15s and can last for 15s , the doll has a 3x3 area and reduce ennemies ATK and DEF by -50%. So basically you can put Shamare in a safe zone and just spam the doll every 15s with an insane debuff Specialist: -Texalter/YatoAlter : I really dosn't need to explain , they are for me the 2nd best operator in the game after wis'adel for overall content and utility -Ela : I can change her place with Ascalon but overall both of them are so good , Ela is really flexible with her kit she can be placed on ground tiles and high tiles aswell as her mines , her S3 inclict fragile in a good area for 7s and she can stack up to 4 mines , every time she use her S3 she gain 40 ammo and gain ATK buff and reduce attack interval , when her skill end she gain 2 more mines, also she has a chance to deal more damage with her talent 2 that get increased if ennemies are affected by her mines, not to forget with her S3 she will prioritize ennemies that are under mines effect ,she is really good for DPS and overall content -Ascalon : She is the best operator for CC her S1 is good for damage and AFK , S3 when she need to stay alive by expanding her rangeand reduce her attack interval significantly while giving every ennemies in range hit rate reduced by -50% , she also get more attacked by ennemies and when she dodge an ennemy attack she her herself , so over good S3 specially when you know that ambusher have already50% of physical and Arts dodge, but where she shine is her S2 that give a lot of slow and increase her ATK and also the afftect of her Talent 1 that is already slowing ennemies withing rang efor every attack she does up to 3 stack while also taking damage , overall she is really the best for her role specially with her modult that increased the duration of the effect and the effect himself -ThornsAlter : he just got released but i think he is really good , he is a specialist that have the role of a supporter , every skill from him are good , S1 give a good amount of heal and can heal every operator including Mudrock/penance... S2 is a large area that increased overtime and inflinct the following effect : reducing healing effect by ennemies , inflinct damage and can charge it two times , his S3 expand his range as a passif , when he used his skill he throw an chemistry for 4 operator with the lowest block count and make every ennemies in the range -15% ATK and 35% Art Res and DEF also Inflinct a lot of damage that get increased overtime while also increased the effect of the skill : -30% ATK -50% DEF and RES. Also he can recover SP even when using skill so make him able to spam his skill even more, so overall great alchemist - Spalter : When she die she turn into a subtitute that deal arts damage and slow ennemies in a 3x3 area she also buff every AH squad for 20% Max HP including herself , her S3 is used for surviving and DPS , she gain ATK + 260% and max HP +200% and if ennemies have more HP than her she deal 70% as attack damage in bonus , but overall she is mostly used for her S2 that make her literally unkillable and so make her good to keep an ennemy blocked for few seconds , S2 effect : ATK +130% ASPD +50% and prevent Spalter Hp from being below 1 , but will be defeated after skill end , so basically for 20s she can keep a boss/elite ennemy with high attack blocked and can't be killed whenever the situation and after that she inflict slow and art damage , with her module the slow effect and the arts damage gived is increased and also after coming back from subtitute she gain 15 SP sp basically her S2 has only 20SP cost Wow i don't know how many hours it took me but it was fun to write that !! In advance i'm sorry if some people disagree with my list, but like i said its my personal opinion you can disagree with that. Also my writting skill in english are pretty bad so I hope it's still understable for people. Some operator are grouped in the same tier because i judge them to not be better that the other while having almost the same utility. Anyway thanks for thoses people who took time to read all !! Have a good day !!
What an incredibly unexpected top operators. No one could have ever imagined that these operators would be in the top. Especially unexpected was the list of snipers...
My personal rank per class Vanguard: 1. tbh ines should be no. 1, simply cuz she trivialize dp problem on Both general & advanced stages. She also has highest dp gen of 0.5/ sec & can scale well with aspd (imagine 40dp per skill2 on IS 2. i would argue muelsyse is 2nd top vg, due to her sheer power she offer in exchange of lower dp gen. the only other 6* vg besides ines that is worth drafting in IS. She also shows up on cc 2 max risk & better now since more ops for clone now, ex: ulpian, ray, ela, logos 3. Canta is ines lite 4. Elysium. Better dp gen than myrtle & better utility overall 5. Myrtle. Cheap vg in IS but not much utility Ngl, putting saileach, texas or bagpipe on top 5 vg is crazy lol Guard: 1. Mlynar 2. Degen. I'd say her niche of burst dmg within 5s is very good, especially against bosses that has short dmg window like the IS4 boss3 3. Ulpian. High dph is important for physical & he does it best among guard. Also funny sp relic interaction & his s3 basically reset deployment order, good for aggro-ing ranged enemies 4. Surtr. Still the best ground arts dps 5. Zuo le. He scales well against enemies that are stronger than him, even in IS relicless a15 or cc2 risk 800-ish Defender 1. Shu 2. Jessica alt. A defender that can bring a mini cuora every 30s 3. Saria. Mostly used for the arts amplifier 4. nian. Better than hoshiguma & jessica alt in term of tanking alone, but jessicat can bring a mini cuora shield. But if u cant deploy that shield, then nian win in term of tanking 5. Penance. Lazy ops for general content, in case u dont want to strategize & deploy redeploy Sniper: 1. Wisadel 2. Ray. Best range for sniper & 16s bind in fast cycle 3. Typhoon. Mostly for s2. Also occasionally used against boss with disgusting def 4. Greyy alt. Wisadel lite 5. Pozy. Can bring mini schwarz with fast redeploy Caster: 1. Logos. 2. Ceobe. Queen of hard content 3. Goldenglow. Convenient & respectable dmg in a relatively fast cycle 4. Eyja. Still good for general stage, but i only use her for pseudo aoe caster 5. Ifrit. Res debuff against enemies with 60+ res Medic: i'd say my ranking is the same Supporter: overall almost the same rank except i'd switch virtuosa with ling. Ling eat deployment like crazy & she get stat-checked fast on hard content. Meanwhile virtuosa has pseudo true dmg & her s1+ mod3 eat patriot phase 1 without problem Specialist: 1. Ela. Flexible placement, respectable dph & total dmg while bringing fragile in pseudo global range 2. Ascalon. What is most needed from specialist in most hard content is utility & she bring Massive slow while having respectable total dmg too 3. Ethan. Ascalon lite 4. Texas. Powerful niche but many enemies is stun immune & future mechanic introduced counter against redeploy. I'd use her mostly for res debuff 5. yato alt. Just trash cleaner
I'd put Execalter over Surtr in the guards top 5. Surtr still has the damage but recently enemies haven't really gotten that much tankier but more gimiky so qol like self sustain and good skill cycle is more valuable now. I agree with the other 4 guards in your list
@@charsasd7294 ling's summon is simply put a stat stick/ stat dependant. A stat stick wont be good on hard content like IS high difficulty, when all those enemies out-stat u & Them cant be healed worsen these problem (except zuo le, this guy is cracked on high threat environtment). Thats why most enmity also struggle in high difficulty content, since most of them is a stat-stick & cant be healed Also The cost of 1 big summon is more expensive than most operator. Just by oppotunity-cost, 1-2 operator is simply better than 1 stat-dependent summon
He's the most used because he's an old operator and most veterans all have him and at least have had used him 😂. He's mod makes him better for modern stages but it is in no way makes him as good as the modern guards. @@kenshi3942
IMO, In terms of dps, yes, ntr knight is kinda bad since she heavily relies on s3, but the most probable reason why she is in top 5(?) is her very unique skill (s2) that allows her to ignore deployment limit. Sure 1star ops also have this unique ability but among the 6 stars, only ntr knight have this
Bagpipe over ines feels diabolical but imo typhon are ray are kinda side grades. Typhon can hit hard but not as much as ray but she deals with swarms better than her coz talent and s2 while still being able to deal with elites nicely meanwhile ray just wipes any elites or bosses from afar but can't deal with mobs
@@frauflaw100edibleorganicco9 I wouldn't say she got completely powercrept. Nearl still has her niche of ignoring the deployment limit. And that is still pretty good.
@@thatonepersonnoonecaresabo3163that niche not even used at High diff IS nor make her core to both prev new CC. And evenless in normal gameplay coz can clear them with just few ops for fan farm
i think the main reason we dont see her anymore is mostly because of recent map design, see is still very strong. what sniper would you put in her place?
Hey River! To be honest I don't know how this will help new players since you got a lot of limited (and even super-limited) ops up in the top, but okay - that works just as personal a top :)
-50% atk mean bosses deal wet noodle dmg in general contet, while in hard content mean survive being one-shotted Now gnosis rely on him applying freeze
Hello, sorry OOT but i want to ask something, recently (maybe 1 year) I got interested in Arknights story but I haven't played this game yet. I want to try this game, is this game friendly for newbies because I think I'm already far behind if I play it now?
I would say this is the best time for new players to come in, since the anniversary event is just a couple days away and they just updated the newbie stuff, like the banners, rewards, etc. iirc you can easily get 3 6 stars for essentially free; 1 from a free voucher that you can get by completing missions and 2 by pulling in the newbie banner (you get a guaranteed 6 star in 20 pulls, but it's possible to get a 6 star in the first 10 pulls and then get the guaranteed 6 star in the 20th pull. Rerolling should be easy enough)
@@dalgona4819 I havent used nearlter much so I cant say, but based on what I heard, I feel like both could be off this list, Silverash isnt bad but it's hard to say top 5 gaurd when its competitive imo
Fun fact 4 of 5 from the best Guards are drawn by the same person.
honestly I cant believe they didnt include executor alter
@@L_Nivale Executor alter is good and all but uhh I rarely see him in like, really late game contents
@@L_Nivale good dmg but he rely on him out-stat-ing enemies. If only his heal can scale🥲
@@frauflaw100edibleorganicco9 As someone who used Executor alter in H13-4, I personally think his heals are plenty enough, at least when his S3 is up. But he just kind of disintegrates when dealing with ranged enemies.
yeah and i hope they'd give more work for ask-sensei instead of giving everything to ryuzakiichi
The crazy part is how Saria, NG, and Ejya caster are still on top of 2. They are basically the original operator since beginning.
Oh yeah didnt notice that lol
Bagpipe is so good she doesnt even need to be deployed
Seg
My personal top 5 for each roles ( including CN operators) :
Vanguard :
- Ines : She does everything you need

-Mudrock/Penance : Both really good I might rank them too much higher , Both are good for overall own survability and laneholding , one has barrer that can be gained with S3 that can survive almost everything ( even patriot) while giving back damage to the attacker so it can be great for killing invisible ranged ennemies and overall insane damage and S2 that can give art damage in a 3x3 area, Mudrock best skill is S2 that give her great survability she her herself and bonk ennemies in a 3x3 area while having her talent that block any damage and instead heal her ( up to 3 Shields) while also giving her 2SP

- Saria : Overall saria was the best defender till Shu come but she fell of in the meta but she can still be great , S1 giving heal in a 3x3 area when allies operator are under 50% HP , talent 2 better for constant healing in a better range but she heal instantly if on operator near her took damage , and S3 great debuff for ennemies , she heal allies in a large area while also providing slow to ennemies and make them take more art damage
-Jessica alter : The only operator that can change her facing tile , she can deploy a shield that have good DEF and HP and 2 block count , S2 good to kill low Def ennemies with cheap SP cost while S3 good for overall Damage and survability with a large area explosion that stun ennemies , talent 2 give her a 50% chance to give jessica 1 SP when her mobile shield take damage and module make her reveal inivisible ennemies in her range, she is overall flexible and can be the best choice for starting a IS run
Sniper:
Wis'adel : Do i have to explain?
Ray/Typhon : Both totally insane, one has two good skills : S2 that can be used for overall AFK and S3 one of the best killing boss skill , with 10 ammo and lock into the ennemy till he die or till every ammo used also giving stun for every hit, while the other one has the best flexibility, S3 insane damage , perma bind ennemies and cheap SP cost , not to forget her summon that can make her dealing more damage and focus ennemies inside her summon while also providing her the best range flexibility overall
- Chatler : She fell off but she is still insanely good , overall good damage with S3 while reducing ennemies speed and DEF , her kit make her hit ennemies in her global range and her talent a can be used has a support for every ammo based skill like typhon S3 or Wis'adel S3 , giving them 10% chance to not use there ammo while consumed
- Narantuya : Overall flexible with every skills but I will focus on her S3 that giving her insane damage and deal multiple hit , what make her also so good his her talent , talent 1 make her steal ennemies ATK and DEF for every hit up to 250 ATK and 200 DEF while also having great survability with talent 2 , 35% physical and art dodge and reduce hit rate of ennemies in her surrounding area by -20%
-Pozy : Overall very good and flexible , she can summon a typewriter that can attack ennemies and use the same skil has her so everything she does is doubled , S2 giving her burst damage , cheap sp cost , and her s3 is her overall best skill , range expand , interval is reduced and damage increased , her typewriter has a sp cost and can reduce target def , increased if her typewriter is in her 4 tiles
Caster :
- Logos : Every caster kit at once , S1 one of the best AFK skill and can instakill ennemies, S2 giving him the best Arts RES and S3 overall his best skill that make his area larger and hit more ennemies at once he can also slow projectiles and remove them when skill end , he can inflinct necrosis damage with his delta module. No doubt the best caster
- LappyAlter : She is the best unit for overall killing ennemies everywhere , she can inflinct fear and silence ennemies with S2 and S3, with S2 she has better CC , she has a chance to inflinct fear for every hit including her drones , +3 drones and range expanded , her global range for S3 with AOE damage make her one the top of his list not to forget she can still attack when using her skill , she has multiple drones that chase ennemies around the map and her talent make her gain 3 different buff with time on the battlefield, overall she is insanely good ( I waited for her for 3 years to come )
- Nymph : A underrated operator because she need Virtuosa for her S3 , but she is good even without her , she is th only operator that can inflict fear for today with LappyAlter but unlike her she give better Fear with her S2 and can lock ennemies and boss if she has Sp recovery support while also giving them necrosis damage , S3 his overall the best killing boss skill , combined with Virtuosa she can inflict an absurd amount of damage if ennemies are under necrosis damage
- GG : She was for me the best caster till Logos got realeased , she has overall global range with S3 and unlike LappyAlter she has Res ignore , she can be better for IS because of her drone that can teleport and her S2 is overall a good AFK skill
- Lin : She is a different caster that is most used as a tank , she is really good at it with her talent that ignore any damage under 200 damage , also her second talent giving her 75% chance to recover 2SP when attacked , she is overall really good at tanking and her S3 is good for DPS and CC giving her more damage and expand her range , she is also a good pair with aak that giving him SP , ATK and ASPD buff
Medic :
-Eyjaberry : Best healer in the game , providing heal and elemental healing , her S1 is a good AFK skill and her S3 giving her global range , her talent make every allies recover more heal and elemental heal every second when healed by her while also giving them MAX HP bonus to allies in her range giving her global range even more value.
- ReedAlter : If eyjaberry is the best in terms of healing , ReedAlter is better in terms of DPS she is a Caster hidden has a medic , her S2 giving 2 allies in range fireballs that deal damage to ennemies touching it while also heal allies, her S3 is unique , it make her attacking 2 ennemies and make her talent 1 100% chance to trigger , making every ennemies under Cinder effect and make them take art damage by 60% of reed ATK per second and every ennemies defeated inflinct the same effect to other ennemies nearby , overall a wave cleaner skill that can make your game crash because of how totally insane this is
-Nightingale : She his the best medic to help you with Res , she give every allies a ceratin amount of RES while giving it more with her Skills , S2 is more used for AFK and overall constant arts damage RES while her S3 make every operators unable to be killed by any arts damage , in a large area , giving them more RES and Arts dodge , and she is overall very good with her kit that heal 3 allies at once, also she has summon that can be used as a bait for ennemies that will be more targeted by them, they have 75RES and 30 physical dodge . Overall Nightingale is your life saver for arts damage ennemies
-Ptilopsis : She is more used as a support operators because of her talent but she can provide really good heal with her S2 that reduce her attack interval and expand her range for 40s , her talent increase the SP recovery of all allies by 0.3SP/sec and 0.35SP/sec in her range with her module. Overall good medic and good support for operator that have high SP skill or for like nymph that can make her able to lock ennemies with fear forever
Supporter :
-Virtuosa : The best support in the game , she can inflinct necrosis damage and make ennemies take more necrosis damage in her range with her module she get even better at inflincting necrosis damage , she get better with time past , her S1 is good for AFK and is able to kill patriot phase 1 alone , S2 can be used as a pair with some operator like LappyAlter S3 and S3 his her most used Skill that increase her range and proving a large amount of necrosis damage while also buffing allies with highest max HP , ATK and DEF
- Ling : Ling is really good she can solo almost every stages alone but she struggle with new stages, she can summon dragons that can be cobined with her S3 giving them 4 block count and overall high stat , her skill make them inflinct ART damage every sec, they also gain +100% ATK and DEF that make them overall hard to kill. Ling is a special case as an operator but she took every deployement slot
-Skalter/Theresa : Both are good at healing, specially healing allies operator that normally can't be healed , one is more focus on buffing allies , her S1 procing good amount of Healing , S2 is a AFK skill that give good Buff and S3 giving her more Buff with the downside of loosing a certain amount of HP per sec , she also has a summon that expand her range in a 3x3 area, the other one is better for healing , S1 is an AFK skill that dosn't give buff but better heal overall , S2 Giving her ATK buff and inflinct true damage to ennemies that are hit by her particles , also binding ennemies forever and give Inspiration to allies in her attack range , and S3 is her global healing ability that make every allies unable to get killed she redistribute HP every 2s and can make operator like Surtr S3 live longer
-Suzuran : She is used as a debuff for ennemies with her S3 by slowing them in a insane area of range while also inflinct them fraggile and healing allies operator in range, she also Increased support SP recovery rate by 0.2/second and can overall inflinct fragile even without her skill if ennemies are slowed in her range
-Shamare : Shamare isn't very popular but she is really good and underrated, her talent make every ennemies withing range that have -40% hp taking 30% fragile but what make her so good his her S2 that give her a Curse doll that can be used every 15s and can last for 15s , the doll has a 3x3 area and reduce ennemies ATK and DEF by -50%. So basically you can put Shamare in a safe zone and just spam the doll every 15s with an insane debuff
Specialist:
-Texalter/YatoAlter : I really dosn't need to explain , they are for me the 2nd best operator in the game after wis'adel for overall content and utility
-Ela : I can change her place with Ascalon but overall both of them are so good , Ela is really flexible with her kit she can be placed on ground tiles and high tiles aswell as her mines , her S3 inclict fragile in a good area for 7s and she can stack up to 4 mines , every time she use her S3 she gain 40 ammo and gain ATK buff and reduce attack interval , when her skill end she gain 2 more mines, also she has a chance to deal more damage with her talent 2 that get increased if ennemies are affected by her mines, not to forget with her S3 she will prioritize ennemies that are under mines effect ,she is really good for DPS and overall content
-Ascalon : She is the best operator for CC her S1 is good for damage and AFK , S3 when she need to stay alive by expanding her rangeand reduce her attack interval significantly while giving every ennemies in range hit rate reduced by -50% , she also get more attacked by ennemies and when she dodge an ennemy attack she her herself , so over good S3 specially when you know that ambusher have already50% of physical and Arts dodge, but where she shine is her S2 that give a lot of slow and increase her ATK and also the afftect of her Talent 1 that is already slowing ennemies withing rang efor every attack she does up to 3 stack while also taking damage , overall she is really the best for her role specially with her modult that increased the duration of the effect and the effect himself
-ThornsAlter : he just got released but i think he is really good , he is a specialist that have the role of a supporter , every skill from him are good , S1 give a good amount of heal and can heal every operator including Mudrock/penance... S2 is a large area that increased overtime and inflinct the following effect : reducing healing effect by ennemies , inflinct damage and can charge it two times , his S3 expand his range as a passif , when he used his skill he throw an chemistry for 4 operator with the lowest block count and make every ennemies in the range -15% ATK and 35% Art Res and DEF also Inflinct a lot of damage that get increased overtime while also increased the effect of the skill : -30% ATK -50% DEF and RES. Also he can recover SP even when using skill so make him able to spam his skill even more, so overall great alchemist
- Spalter : When she die she turn into a subtitute that deal arts damage and slow ennemies in a 3x3 area she also buff every AH squad for 20% Max HP including herself , her S3 is used for surviving and DPS , she gain ATK + 260% and max HP +200% and if ennemies have more HP than her she deal 70% as attack damage in bonus , but overall she is mostly used for her S2 that make her literally unkillable and so make her good to keep an ennemy blocked for few seconds , S2 effect : ATK +130% ASPD +50% and prevent Spalter Hp from being below 1 , but will be defeated after skill end , so basically for 20s she can keep a boss/elite ennemy with high attack blocked and can't be killed whenever the situation and after that she inflict slow and art damage , with her module the slow effect and the arts damage gived is increased and also after coming back from subtitute she gain 15 SP sp basically her S2 has only 20SP cost
Wow i don't know how many hours it took me but it was fun to write that !! In advance i'm sorry if some people disagree with my list, but like i said its my personal opinion you can disagree with that. Also my writting skill in english are pretty bad so I hope it's still understable for people. Some operator are grouped in the same tier because i judge them to not be better that the other while having almost the same utility. Anyway thanks for thoses people who took time to read all !! Have a good day !!

Guard: LIBERATOR MLYNAR

Putting Saileach but not Elysium is crazy. Also, we're forgetting Gnosis and Ethan now?
Hard agree, Debuff, slow and invisibility reveal in one skill as a 5-Star AND he buffs snipers as well. I would pick him over saileach 9/10 times
What an incredibly unexpected top operators.
No one could have ever imagined that these operators would be in the top.
Especially unexpected was the list of snipers...
My personal rank per class
Vanguard:
1. tbh ines should be no. 1, simply cuz she trivialize dp problem on Both general & advanced stages. She also has highest dp gen of 0.5/ sec & can scale well with aspd (imagine 40dp per skill2 on IS
2. i would argue muelsyse is 2nd top vg, due to her sheer power she offer in exchange of lower dp gen. the only other 6* vg besides ines that is worth drafting in IS. She also shows up on cc 2 max risk & better now since more ops for clone now, ex: ulpian, ray, ela, logos
3. Canta is ines lite
4. Elysium. Better dp gen than myrtle & better utility overall
5. Myrtle. Cheap vg in IS but not much utility
Ngl, putting saileach, texas or bagpipe on top 5 vg is crazy lol
Guard:
1. Mlynar
2. Degen. I'd say her niche of burst dmg within 5s is very good, especially against bosses that has short dmg window like the IS4 boss3
3. Ulpian. High dph is important for physical & he does it best among guard. Also funny sp relic interaction & his s3 basically reset deployment order, good for aggro-ing ranged enemies
4. Surtr. Still the best ground arts dps
5. Zuo le. He scales well against enemies that are stronger than him, even in IS relicless a15 or cc2 risk 800-ish
Defender
1. Shu
2. Jessica alt. A defender that can bring a mini cuora every 30s
3. Saria. Mostly used for the arts amplifier
4. nian. Better than hoshiguma & jessica alt in term of tanking alone, but jessicat can bring a mini cuora shield. But if u cant deploy that shield, then nian win in term of tanking
5. Penance. Lazy ops for general content, in case u dont want to strategize & deploy redeploy
Sniper:
1. Wisadel
2. Ray. Best range for sniper & 16s bind in fast cycle
3. Typhoon. Mostly for s2. Also occasionally used against boss with disgusting def
4. Greyy alt. Wisadel lite
5. Pozy. Can bring mini schwarz with fast redeploy
Caster:
1. Logos.
2. Ceobe. Queen of hard content
3. Goldenglow. Convenient & respectable dmg in a relatively fast cycle
4. Eyja. Still good for general stage, but i only use her for pseudo aoe caster
5. Ifrit. Res debuff against enemies with 60+ res
Medic: i'd say my ranking is the same
Supporter: overall almost the same rank except i'd switch virtuosa with ling. Ling eat deployment like crazy & she get stat-checked fast on hard content. Meanwhile virtuosa has pseudo true dmg & her s1+ mod3 eat patriot phase 1 without problem
Specialist:
1. Ela. Flexible placement, respectable dph & total dmg while bringing fragile in pseudo global range
2. Ascalon. What is most needed from specialist in most hard content is utility & she bring Massive slow while having respectable total dmg too
3. Ethan. Ascalon lite
4. Texas. Powerful niche but many enemies is stun immune & future mechanic introduced counter against redeploy. I'd use her mostly for res debuff
5. yato alt. Just trash cleaner
Good list. But i want to ask why you thing Ling is not that good in hard content?
I'd put Execalter over Surtr in the guards top 5. Surtr still has the damage but recently enemies haven't really gotten that much tankier but more gimiky so qol like self sustain and good skill cycle is more valuable now. I agree with the other 4 guards in your list
@@imadaga69420 nah bro, exualt range and no medic heal makes him not that good in hard content
@@charsasd7294 ling's summon is simply put a stat stick/ stat dependant. A stat stick wont be good on hard content like IS high difficulty, when all those enemies out-stat u & Them cant be healed worsen these problem (except zuo le, this guy is cracked on high threat environtment). Thats why most enmity also struggle in high difficulty content, since most of them is a stat-stick & cant be healed
Also The cost of 1 big summon is more expensive than most operator. Just by oppotunity-cost, 1-2 operator is simply better than 1 stat-dependent summon
lol, Greyy mentioned. Dude raised from C-tier op on gamepress to one of the best sniper. What a comeback!
I think you kept IS5 in mind.
without even thinking about it I can name a bunch of guards better than nearlter: ulpian, gavial, thorns, zuo le, executor, theres probably more
Gavial I can maybe give a pass. But thorns? Really? He's not that good.
@@metal9076 he is statistically the most used 6 star in the game lol people use him because hes good esp after getting his module
He's the most used because he's an old operator and most veterans all have him and at least have had used him 😂.
He's mod makes him better for modern stages but it is in no way makes him as good as the modern guards.
@@kenshi3942
@@kenshi3942 I maxed my Thorns out but I agree with guy above
IMO, In terms of dps, yes, ntr knight is kinda bad since she heavily relies on s3, but the most probable reason why she is in top 5(?) is her very unique skill (s2) that allows her to ignore deployment limit.
Sure 1star ops also have this unique ability but among the 6 stars, only ntr knight have this
Needs ulpianus in guards. New power creep in lane holding and competitive for DPS
Time and time again it is scientifically proven that Mytrle is the second coming of Jesus himself in All of Terra.
Shu is eternally in her rice throne of being the best defender, good for you girlie
2 Sui siblings #1 feels good.
Eyja medic should be called Eyjaberry
Logos also executes weaker enemies-- a very important skill for mob management.
Zuo is basically immortal most of the time with s2
how is ntr knight in top 5 but not ulpianus?
so glad I have many of these top tier units in my roster
I'll be honest I had no idea what Logos's base skill was until this made me feel obligated to check
ngl when i first saw degenbrecher trailer, i thought she was gonna replace mlynar as the "new best guard" but apparently that weren't the case
bagpipe above ines 😭😭
typhon above ray 😭
I mean bagpipe's talent is so good to allow other vanguards generate DP almost immediately 😅. But I do find myself using Ines more than bagpipe lol
I think the order is not important, just a bundle of top tier ops under the GOAT
Bagpipe over ines feels diabolical but imo typhon are ray are kinda side grades. Typhon can hit hard but not as much as ray but she deals with swarms better than her coz talent and s2 while still being able to deal with elites nicely meanwhile ray just wipes any elites or bosses from afar but can't deal with mobs
order other than 1st doesnt matter i think
@@auselessfish8803 ray with s2 and sandbeast can do just fine against swarms
Nearl? Rather put Ulpipi or even Chongyue...
fr, why is she even here?
RIGHT??? Like who still uses her dawg 😭
She already powercrept by vina in cn, & even then vina isnt even a contender for top 5 guard🥴
@@frauflaw100edibleorganicco9 I wouldn't say she got completely powercrept. Nearl still has her niche of ignoring the deployment limit. And that is still pretty good.
@@thatonepersonnoonecaresabo3163that niche not even used at High diff IS nor make her core to both prev new CC. And evenless in normal gameplay coz can clear them with just few ops for fan farm
NTR knight saving grace is 0 deployment slot right... Right?

I haven't seen holungday usage in decades, are you sure?
@@ReZort. tru
i think the main reason we dont see her anymore is mostly because of recent map design, see is still very strong. what sniper would you put in her place?
@@aeroga6532no it's coz she's expensive, bad dph in this day and age along and bad survivability due to her range and stats
@@auselessfish8803 fair point, but who would you add to replace her spot?
@@aeroga6532 I'd say her spot is a debate between typhon or ray, chalter can only be above pozy and below those 2
Ulpianus should definitely be up there, maybe instead of nearl alter
Hey River!
To be honest I don't know how this will help new players since you got a lot of limited (and even super-limited) ops up in the top, but okay - that works just as personal a top :)
Maybe it could help for using support units I guess.
Maybe should make a separate tierlist of skills for the base? Gnosis > Shamare
-50% atk mean bosses deal wet noodle dmg in general contet, while in hard content mean survive being one-shotted
Now gnosis rely on him applying freeze
Saria but no Penance? 🤔
Hello, sorry OOT but i want to ask something, recently (maybe 1 year) I got interested in Arknights story but I haven't played this game yet. I want to try this game, is this game friendly for newbies because I think I'm already far behind if I play it now?
日本語でごめんなさい
このゲームは戦略が大事なゲームなので、いつ始めたかは関係ありません。また、最近始めた人は実装されたばかりの強いキャラを得ることもできます。とても楽しいゲームなので是非遊んでみてください!
I would say this is the best time for new players to come in, since the anniversary event is just a couple days away and they just updated the newbie stuff, like the banners, rewards, etc. iirc you can easily get 3 6 stars for essentially free; 1 from a free voucher that you can get by completing missions and 2 by pulling in the newbie banner (you get a guaranteed 6 star in 20 pulls, but it's possible to get a 6 star in the first 10 pulls and then get the guaranteed 6 star in the 20th pull. Rerolling should be easy enough)
@@miii33mi 日本語で大丈夫です、なるほど、じゃあぜひアークナイツを遊んでみたいです。ありがとうございます!
@@fjrinf i see, how about farming, is it hard to do a daily quest for getting the material for build the operators?
Why is there no Ulpianus
IDK man why myrtle is best vanguard while she only use dp skill?
Shamare mentioned
As an AH main... Ulpianus, Skadi, and Gladiia are all on tier 0
penance?!?!?!
Swap Saileach with Elysium
Then its good
二アール、ホルン、レイ、異格スペクターあたりはあまり使わないんだけど、結構強かったりするの?
Silverash probably shouldnt be in gaurds top 5 as hes kinda fallen off, not useless but not top 5 anymore imo.
nah still worth the spot more than Nearlter imho, hell I bring that guy more often than Mlynar these days post-module.
@@dalgona4819 I havent used nearlter much so I cant say, but based on what I heard, I feel like both could be off this list, Silverash isnt bad but it's hard to say top 5 gaurd when its competitive imo

yeaaah I have all of them 😻
