There's a lot of characters that become invincible during the end of their basic chain, I know Piper and Ben both do. Not downplaying Koleda tho she's my favorite S star lol
I've been playing Koleda with Ben for a couple days now and I can tell you right now that she does not have s when she hits the ground after jumping, this can be really annoying since she can get stopped just before the big explosion that happens when she lands. With Ben this is not a problem since she's invincible throughout her entire 4th attack.
The entire animation until the final hit is invincible, but changes if you swap to Ben and get hit while. I like the comp alot because Koleda really does ramp up stun values while applying Burns at a pretty decent rate imo. I like that these standard characters all have solid application.
@@FineUser I never have this issue, never been hit in his animation once however i imagine it's timing and takes practice for some people to get use to it ( i prefer to not use ben )
Koleda is a master class in follow through animation, which is why i love her so much. When she blasts an enemy on her trigger points during the combo, she gets blasted back by the explosion, cartwheels midair, and also crunches her hammer down for a second impact showing the weight of her strikes. The only other characters in the game that appropriately do this are Anton who has heavy but snappy impact and brace frames and Piper who uses her entire body's momentum to carry her battle axe and swings on it upon the release of her EX. A runner up would be Ben, because the weight of his piston driver slows him down but has some weirder conveyance of weight. When he slams it down to brace fpr impact, it has a nice weighty crash to the ground... but when he counters with it, he holds it by the end of its length and swings it as if it was light as a feather, which is not at all how he maneuvers normally. His ultimate is also pretty nice.
@@AnakinFury Yeah, but it still doesn't match it the conveyance of its weight because he then has to fully pick it up be the end to swing it horizontally while also gaining momentum to spin forward, which is still does not match the rest of his movement.
@@PixelleHearts Not entirely though. Consider that during the combo when you do his finisher his piston turns on and he Jumps so high for his size. Maybe the force going outwards helps fuel the centripetal force of his wild swing, which if my math is correct would still require a lot of strength to pivot that much force going outwards into a rotating motion. Then again, Ben is a bear, so he could be packing that strength naturally and conditionally due to his occupation.
Hi Guoba, just wanted to note, Zhu Yuan's core skill actually synergizes with Support characters (and Faction), NOT Ether characters, so her team flexibility is way higher than only Nicole. Lucy with Koleda / Rina with Lycaon or Anby are just two out of many possible options for Zhu. Not many people seem to have noticed this yet, as she's the only one with this in the game so far.
@@Variusn For real! I didn't play any of the CBTs but it may have changed for release. You can see and test it in the Trial Story (assuming you have not done it already) I've yet to see any CC take note of it and talk about it, but I hope the information for this gets out for those excited for Zhu. Tried make a video about it but the chance of having my little thrown-together low-quality video being seen as a 0 subscribed person definitely isn't probable 😂
@@Kuddochan The defense reduction and Ether boost are nice, but they're only 3.5 seconds long. With Nicole you're almost bound to play Anby as well, because none of the other stun characters we currently have gets their core skill. I'd argue Koleda & Lucy, Rina & Lycaon are both better options, if you have them.

Really spoiling us with all these guides. Hope you cover team comps soon because my brain is already itching with all the team comp possibilities and I hope you give the A ranks some guides too.
about soldier 11 (and maybe nekomana too): the cn players have found ways to time soldier 11's attacks based on various things (one of them being a children's song) and they can consistently give fire infusion to her basics i tried it a bit too, but unfortunately i can't always remember the rhythm (skill issue on my part) but soldier 11 feels better even with fire infusion 80% of the time
You just have to hit as soon as the slash make contact with the floor or surface it hits because the sword is like a real world flint striker. She ignites it by friction.
In my guide you can see some tips to help it by looking at the animation endings and listening to audio cues. Those songs that time it perfectly are awesome though lol
I think 11 works best with stun teammates. Her core passive makes her deal more damage to stunned enemies. So quicker the enemy get stunned the bigger damage she deals
I'm using 11 with koleda and Lycaon. this team is good for fast stuns, dmg buff on stunned enemies, and quick burn with 2 fire based characters. they basically melt everything.
My main team is Koleda + Ben + Soldier 11 and man the amount of damage she outputs against stunned units is absolutely insane. Koleda stuns an enemy, gets assisted by Ben and then Soldier 11 and then Soldier 11 ults for the extra 25% attack increase from her 4 piece relic set into her EX skill and you just absolutely melt bosses.
If you watch high tier clears right now you will see it's really about disorder/anomaly, Rina is good but not because she pairs well with Anton, but because she enables the shock disorder team for example. Same with many other units in this list. This MIGHT change in the future as crit scalers catch up in gear but it doesn't really look like it...
Neko with Lucy and Piper goes hard. Lucy starts battle and can instantly quick assist to Piper with one single press of the ex button, piper spins to build her damage stacks and assault then Neko speeds in for her EX attack which gets boosted damage against enemies inflicted with assault two times before the boost disappears . Add in Nekos dodge counters and being able to “phase” thru an enemy to be behind them for back attacks (which also get a boost and when you get one of her mindscapes anytime you hit stunned enemy it counts as a back attack) and she can dish some awesome physical damage numbers
People are sleeping on my girl Soldier 11. Nah she’s not a bummer to lose the 50/50 to, she balls so hard just on her own and can carry with her pure dps output. Mark my words when her team fills out y’all are going to wish you built her
For real, man! I got insane luck, pulled her, and Koleda. They DESTROY non fire challenges and moonwalk through actual fire challenges! I can't wait to see the rest of her squad!
Guoba pierced my heart with the Koleda shilling. I honestly thought my account was done for when I pulled koleda and she was said to be a worse stunner than lycaon, until I noticed she oneshots the bar off of one combo or EX special. Although Lycaon's passive of more dmg to stunned is better, I think Koleda is going to definitely raise in ranks when a character releases with some chain attack damage mechanic.
Neko was my surprise first 10 pull after just getting soldier 11 from the first banner and she is shredding through everything for me atm paired with Nicole and Anby. It's a fast attack and a lot of fun while dodging. Holding my pulls for the first anomaly character, whenever they may come
Tip for Zhu Yuan now that she’s out: her suppression shells do increased bonus damage to stunned targets by a lot. As such giving her energy regen so she can use her ex special for more shells and pairing her with a good stunner can lead her to having a massive burst chain for bosses.
Lycaon was my first S rank draw. Utility-wise, he is my favorite one so far. Pairing him with Ellen and Rina, even though Soukaku might make more sense. Ellen does great damage with her w engine. I have about 70% cr when doing the dash attack, and the health bars melt away. Once I'm done building my S ranks, I will start building designated teams around them.
My favorite s rank is von lycon i am happy I got him very early so I could main him unlike genshin where I got diluc well after I chose my main and I got that one on an alt
The game, without my consent, chose to give me nekomata and her signature W engine. I was kinda mad at first since I really wanted Lycaon to go with Ellena, but now I really enjoy her playstyle and the story made me love her character so the outcome for me is still pretty good. Been enjoying running her with Piper and Lucy, such a strong team.
Of the non-limited S rank characters I'm finding Nekomata to be pretty versatile. Rina is a lot of fun to use too and Soldier 11 really packs a punch. Of the ones I don't have I'm excited to get Lycaon next and maybe potentially Grace someday. I did have a lot of fun unlocking Ellen however I can tell with Zhu Yuan I'm starting to run out of content to keep up with the polychrome supply needed for the rolls especially having lost the 50-50 on Yuan's banner. My plan is to make the most of Yuan's banner for the guaranteed unlock and then start saving up polychromes for future characters. I'm pretty confident with Ellen and Yuan on my team, I should have a decent cohort of strong characters to get me through to the end-game.
Soldier 11 was the first S Rank I got and I paired her with Lucy and Ben. They're especially effective in Hollow Zero. When you get enough Fire attribute cards with them, the constant fire damage is absolutely disgusting.
Hi Guoba, just wanted to let you know I appreciate all your great content! Back when HSR came out I tried many different creators but your guides are the best for me. I love that you do your own work, have a calm but warm personality towards the community, and present useful info in a digestible way. and ofc every cute guoba :3. I shared you with my friends and now we follow both your channels with ZZZ out. I don't comment much but you always got a loyal lurking +1 here ^^
Fire team is so underrated 😅 Ben daze multiplier is literally almost the same as a stunner unit which help the enemy stun more. with soldier 11 she can 2-3 cycle shiryu def 8 tru 10 with 4pc fire set with that insane 28% free crit bec how fast they stunning the enemies. koleda basic attack almost uninterruptable with ben, bec ben animation can shield kaledo from attacks on ground while at the top of ben, without ben shes really interruptable. I would say the wolf guy is better stunner at buffing teams but id say kaledo/ben is more comfort bec of the shield and ben's blocking which give him free immune/daze/dmg counter to the enemies.
Nekomata is actually quite unique in the sense that she's "Speedy" type (if it ever become a thing in this game). By speedy I mean she have tons of i-frame and she can teleport for her dodge counter. Basically she'll always end up close and personal even against ranged enemy on the other side of the map unlike other melee unit who have limited range on their counter attack, She excel at closing distance and dealing with spread out enemy which is important for saving those time in Shiyu defense. OAlso sometimes just warping around attacking enemy all over the place just looks cool. She's definitely the easiest DPS to use right now since a lot of her attack is not punishable.
Ah yes Guoba Bigger, the content creator of Belobog Industries. Bronya making her moves even in other universes. She truly is Mihoyo. Can't wait for The 4* video. (Corin Piper Anby best ez)
My favorite S rank is Rina but I still don't have her T.T early on I tried them all out in the VR training and she instantly captured my heart. It's taking so much willpower not to pull on the standard banner to choose her on the guaranteed 300 because I got Ellen and also want Zhu Yuan, so I'm saving. I'm not very interested in the characters that will come after, except Miyabi, and given she won't be for awhile I feel I can focus on the standard after pulling Zhu Yuan. After playing her in the story mission trial tho, she could very well become my favorite because she's really cool and fun to play. Martial arts, a handgun, and a more useful ether unit? What's not to love!
Koleda and Grace are my favorites but thats mostly because i have a heavy bias towards the Belobog faction. That being said, in terms of "fun factor" Grace is still pretty high up there with Nekomata on top
I'm sad I didn't start at launch but I wasent convinced by the game at first. Now I missed Ellen by a couple days of starting lmao. Games really chill and fun to just sit back and relax with. Favriote s rank by design is either Ellen or Rina but the only s rank I have so far is koleda who's pretty fun and paired with anby stuns like crazy
Zhu Yuan is alot different to other agents since she does'nt have sinergy with agents of the same attack type and instead gets synergy with support class agents (Nicole, Lucy, Soukaku and Rina at this time) giving her the most variaty when it comes to possible team compilations.
The game gave me c1 Grace and c0 Nekomata in pretty short order, as well as Grace's signature w-engine, so... Grace! She's fun and I'm always a sucker for DoTs and debuffs. Though I'm absolutely going to pull for Zhu Yuan. I love the visual of ether and corruption and playing as her in the story was a blast.
I was so happy to get Nekomata, she is exactly the character I wanted. I even got her signature weapon. Got Ellen before hard pity and her weapon in under 20 pulls.All f2p :)
For the Soldier 11 Team (mono Fire) - shouldn't Koledo be placed in there for the Stunner role since stunners are arguably more important than Defense or Support at this point in the game? It seems like CN cc's have been saying her two best in slot teams are Soldier 11/Koleda/Lucy and Soldier 11/Koleda/Ben.
Ben is actually halfway decent at stunning, though I think some CCs are still thinking of the CBTs where you could put impact w-engines on him. Without that benefit, he really falls behind the real stunners. Mostly though I think Guoba just wanted to show an F2P-friendly team. At this phase of the game, it's rare that players will have two synergistic S-ranks unless they got lucky. If you've managed to pull both S11 and Koleda, then congrats, that's a very strong duo.
actually using piper with nekomata is also really good since piper can fully charge nekos synergy passive really easily while also dealing some insane assault damage
I'm reaching chapter 3 so I haven't tested everyone "in context" but the game graced me with 2 koledas (beginner banner + losing 50/50) so I play her even though I dropped Ellen today. I'm still having issues figuring out if there are any damage differences when you play her with Ben but I love to have a bear team 🐻
i was starting for ellen bhut i was so unlucky to get two times soldier 11 in 170 pulls and was forced to play with her... now i have ellen but i must say im totally in love with playing soldier 11 and i will build arround her^^ i hope we see soon some other members of the obol squad! lucky i pulled right after ellen the S Rank Fire Girl with the Hammer so it seems the game really want me to play with fire! xD
I've got a similar story - pulled Nekomata twice on the standard banner, then a third time after losing the 50/50 once for Ellen. Now I have the shark, but also zero excuses not to build the cat. I only got 2 S-ranks TO build after hitting pity four times... why'd all my luck end up going to the bangboos?
Same here I would love to run her with nekomata and Lucy but whoopiee doo all I have is Lucy and a nekomata engine so got a long way before I can do that lol
Just got Nekomata 20 pulls after getting Ellen‼ Gonna save up for Zhu Yuan since I can get her with all the free pulls we’re getting in 1.0 :))) Loving the game so far and can’t wait to see what’s in store!!!
People are sleeping on S11, Piper, Lucy team. Disorder damage is crazy. The damage is comparable to the meta ice team now, the only drawback, it's harder to use.
Would love to get Ellen especially since I have Lycaon, but I'm a dolphin on a budget so I'm saving for Zhu so I can continue working on having multiple teams with specific elements with a flex slot. My ice team is currently Lycaon, Soukaku, and Corin and they're doing extremely well. Got a fire team and lightning team, so Zhu can be part of my Ether team with Nicole.
I am testing out Ellen- koleda- Ben. I have Ellen t1 with signature w engine and I play her on field pretty much 100% of time. My account is inter knot level 36. I do my chain attack and go right back into Ellen again. I dropped soukako after I realize I never give her the feild time to let the flag fly. Lycaon is amazing and I will inner swap him out maybe for enemy weakness purposes. But I really like Ben for support. I’m pretty much playing with one life total because of my plan style just keeping those frost stacks going with Ellen at all times. Her daze build up and damage is so good before the chain attack it feels bad to be fielding any other character. Nicole is another one I’m building because putting her in third slot feels very good as well. I want to add piper and Lucy but I already stretched my self thin. All resources need to be used carefully at this time. I’m risking progression trying to build a second team so soon.
I like how, unlike Genshin and HSR, all the permanent S ranks in ZZZ are good. Some are obviously better than others on release but they're all good in some way with potential to stay relevant or even get better with future new units. No dud pulls here.
My Anton is now Cinema 6 from pulling Ellen banner XD I'm near the 50/50 should I lose, I hope to get Grace/Rina for Anton, I'm also ok with Koleda since I'll pair them with Ben and my first 5 star Soldier11
I was today years old when i realised Nekomata was S Rank lol, ive played the game every day since launch and it never clicked! The way my pulls went i did commit to Ellen and got her in about 120ish pulls (got a M1 Lycoan and M6 Sokaku on the way) That and a Soldier 11 / Piper / Lucy 2nd team has me set for now. I have a soft spot for Soldier 11 but i think Lycoan has to take the top spot for best standard S Rank as any team can use his easy proc Stuns
really wish i had Lycaon my Ellen team be complete would shred faster current, I'm stuck with anby since i need the stun, i been running shotaku or Rina with ellen, I prefer Rina more she's far easier to use and swap out. I'll will be waiting for Miyabi that cinematic won me over ill skipping Zhu yuan, ill maybe pick her up later possible no since 1.0 units will flag far behind in the future
Everyone mentions S11 Ben Lucy team, but isn't slotting stun unit instead of Ben will give S11 more damage? I'm playing her with Anby and Lucy and field her only after Anby's stun, making 16 attacks with E or Q on stunned enemy
We shall see how this game goes as far as optimal teams, i dont want it to become to ridiculous at later stages, where one is forced to take very specific one type teams. Also yeah, having 3 Physical/attacker and a physical/anomaly is srsly dumb on their part, Billy could be a Support maybe, and Corin could have been a defender maybe.
I love playing with the fast paced necomata. Her, anby are regularitet in my team but iuse both Lucy, Corin and Billy as the third member. Nekos dig is not the greatest but her playing style is all i need. Am shipping 1.0 totally waiting for Hoshimi miyabi. I LOVE her jp va. Call me,a simp if u wanna, but ever since spice&wolf i have liked this va. NOT IN A BAD WAY. Its like music some is just better than others.😊
I am currently running a Piper - Lucy - Nekomata team and it feels okay since nekomata is my first s rank and i'm f2p Piper helps prok assult which boost nekomata ex special plus her power passive boosts everyones damage I think you can switch lucy with other support or a stunner
Dont know why Lycaon is rated so high by these CCs. Even though he has higher multipliers than the other stun units, his kit is the worst among them. He doesnt have projectile invicbility like Anby and he has much smaller hit box. This make his normal attack sequence prone to be interupted when facing multi-targets or frequently moving target. He does not fit that well in into ellen team neither. Even though they both have passive when in the same team, they are both on-field characters that rely on normal attack. What ellen need is a swap-in stuner not a on-field stuner that fight for her field time.
I don't know if other people are having this issue but, this video didn't appear in my subscription feed even though I've been subscribed to you for a long time.
i don't like any of the current S ranks xD i got Soldier 11 but i only happen to like supports.... actually.. 2 charcters.... Nicole and Lucy... ngl tho.... Anby kinda grew on me a bit and Corrin's chainsaw seems fun!
As a furry girl who loves sharks, before I even considered meta I went for ellen and lycaon immediately, just got ellen and am super excited. Meta aside, is it likely these characters will be unusable due to powercreep in a year? I don't mean out of the meta, I know that's implied, but can we at least guess if they'll still be viable?
Honestly im gonna combust if i dont get lycaon in offrate or in standard banner before i hit the 300 mark for the selection. I gotten bronya in hsr this way and thats when i was purely f2p. Gonna whale a bit, but i hope im not disappointed...

you missed the soldier 11 piper team that racks up disorder
He cover them in the soldier 11 video on his other channel
Neko was my surprise first 10 pull after just getting soldier 11 from the first banner and she is shredding through everything for me atm paired with Nicole and Anby. It's a fast attack and a lot of fun while dodging. Holding my pulls for the first anomaly character, whenever they may come
early game they are great choices, i just worry about the future
What do you mean first anomaly character? We already have anomaly characters in Grace, Piper and Nicole etc
@@CharizardIsTheGoat Nicole isn't... Anomaly
@@cozzalozza9089 my bad. Grace and piper are thou so I was sort of right lol
@@cozzalozza9089 my bad for some reason I thought she was lol. Grace and piper at least are anomaly thou
Congratulations on the Sponsor! you deserved it especially when you grinded for uploads on your ZZZ channel.
thank you so much for this!! I requested this a few times. :))) I really needed this breakdown! guoba rules!!!❤❤
HSR guide I look to Guoba, zzz guide, I look to guoba again. My man has such credibility in my gacha gaming adventure!
Tip for Zhu Yuan now that she’s out: her suppression shells do increased bonus damage to stunned targets by a lot. As such giving her energy regen so she can use her ex special for more shells and pairing her with a good stunner can lead her to having a massive burst chain for bosses.
All the math about Armour Pen vs raw Attack Damage takes me back to being in high school, reading old Wrath of the Lich King theory.
guoben pumping these videos out so fast omg 🧡
Lycaon was my first S rank draw. Utility-wise, he is my favorite one so far.
Pairing him with Ellen and Rina, even though Soukaku might make more sense.
Ellen does great damage with her w engine. I have about 70% cr when doing the dash attack, and the health bars melt away.
Once I'm done building my S ranks, I will start building designated teams around them.
My favorite s rank is von lycon i am happy I got him very early so I could main him unlike genshin where I got diluc well after I chose my main and I got that one on an alt
Can't wait for your Grace guide on your ZZZ channel!!
Good to know this list is certified
The game, without my consent, chose to give me nekomata and her signature W engine. I was kinda mad at first since I really wanted Lycaon to go with Ellena, but now I really enjoy her playstyle and the story made me love her character so the outcome for me is still pretty good. Been enjoying running her with Piper and Lucy, such a strong team.
Grace is my favorite for her insane kit, and her amazing character art and hilarious dialogue helps a lot too
Of the non-limited S rank characters I'm finding Nekomata to be pretty versatile. Rina is a lot of fun to use too and Soldier 11 really packs a punch. Of the ones I don't have I'm excited to get Lycaon next and maybe potentially Grace someday.
I did have a lot of fun unlocking Ellen however I can tell with Zhu Yuan I'm starting to run out of content to keep up with the polychrome supply needed for the rolls especially having lost the 50-50 on Yuan's banner. My plan is to make the most of Yuan's banner for the guaranteed unlock and then start saving up polychromes for future characters. I'm pretty confident with Ellen and Yuan on my team, I should have a decent cohort of strong characters to get me through to the end-game.
Soldier 11 was the first S Rank I got and I paired her with Lucy and Ben. They're especially effective in Hollow Zero. When you get enough Fire attribute cards with them, the constant fire damage is absolutely disgusting.
Hi Guoba, just wanted to let you know I appreciate all your great content! Back when HSR came out I tried many different creators but your guides are the best for me. I love that you do your own work, have a calm but warm personality towards the community, and present useful info in a digestible way. and ofc every cute guoba :3. I shared you with my friends and now we follow both your channels with ZZZ out. I don't comment much but you always got a loyal lurking +1 here ^^
Got lucky and got Soldier 11 and now I'm running her with Lucy and Ben. So far they melt trough content.
3:16 Pen and Pen Ratio affects Anomaly confirmed. Thank you~
Accidentally got Koleda C1 and it improves her A LOT, it's much faster to stun enemy while on field now
Fire team is so underrated 😅
Ben daze multiplier is literally almost the same as a stunner unit which help the enemy stun more. with soldier 11 she can 2-3 cycle shiryu def 8 tru 10 with 4pc fire set with that insane 28% free crit bec how fast they stunning the enemies.
koleda basic attack almost uninterruptable with ben, bec ben animation can shield kaledo from attacks on ground while at the top of ben, without ben shes really interruptable.
I would say the wolf guy is better stunner at buffing teams but id say kaledo/ben is more comfort bec of the shield and ben's blocking which give him free immune/daze/dmg counter to the enemies.
Nekomata is actually quite unique in the sense that she's "Speedy" type (if it ever become a thing in this game). By speedy I mean she have tons of i-frame and she can teleport for her dodge counter. Basically she'll always end up close and personal even against ranged enemy on the other side of the map unlike other melee unit who have limited range on their counter attack, She excel at closing distance and dealing with spread out enemy which is important for saving those time in Shiyu defense. OAlso sometimes just warping around attacking enemy all over the place just looks cool.
She's definitely the easiest DPS to use right now since a lot of her attack is not punishable.
Ah yes Guoba Bigger, the content creator of Belobog Industries. Bronya making her moves even in other universes. She truly is Mihoyo.
Can't wait for The 4* video. (Corin Piper Anby best ez)
My favorite S rank is Rina but I still don't have her T.T early on I tried them all out in the VR training and she instantly captured my heart. It's taking so much willpower not to pull on the standard banner to choose her on the guaranteed 300 because I got Ellen and also want Zhu Yuan, so I'm saving. I'm not very interested in the characters that will come after, except Miyabi, and given she won't be for awhile I feel I can focus on the standard after pulling Zhu Yuan. After playing her in the story mission trial tho, she could very well become my favorite because she's really cool and fun to play. Martial arts, a handgun, and a more useful ether unit? What's not to love!
Koleda and Grace are my favorites but thats mostly because i have a heavy bias towards the Belobog faction. That being said, in terms of "fun factor" Grace is still pretty high up there with Nekomata on top
Close to 100k i see. Can't wait for the rest of the permanent 5* guides on uncertified
god after I learned Ellen chains her EX skill into her NA3 I finally got to enjoy her gameplay loop lol
I’m running the grace disorder team Grace/Rina/Piper and it’s feels insane. Easily my fav team even though I got lucky and got Ellen
I'm sad I didn't start at launch but I wasent convinced by the game at first. Now I missed Ellen by a couple days of starting lmao. Games really chill and fun to just sit back and relax with. Favriote s rank by design is either Ellen or Rina but the only s rank I have so far is koleda who's pretty fun and paired with anby stuns like crazy
Zhu Yuan is alot different to other agents since she does'nt have sinergy with agents of the same attack type and instead gets synergy with support class agents (Nicole, Lucy, Soukaku and Rina at this time) giving her the most variaty when it comes to possible team compilations.
My favorite S-rank is Billy Kid
The game gave me c1 Grace and c0 Nekomata in pretty short order, as well as Grace's signature w-engine, so... Grace! She's fun and I'm always a sucker for DoTs and debuffs.
Though I'm absolutely going to pull for Zhu Yuan. I love the visual of ether and corruption and playing as her in the story was a blast.
I was so happy to get Nekomata, she is exactly the character I wanted. I even got her signature weapon. Got Ellen before hard pity and her weapon in under 20 pulls.All f2p :)
my current team is Neko Anby(M1) Nicole(M4). Really fun, and when Zhu comes out I'll put her in Neko's place
Thanks for the S tier analysis Ben Bigger
hell yeah guoba zzz sponsorship
I only play with A rank character right now personally. Billy my love.
For the Soldier 11 Team (mono Fire) - shouldn't Koledo be placed in there for the Stunner role since stunners are arguably more important than Defense or Support at this point in the game? It seems like CN cc's have been saying her two best in slot teams are Soldier 11/Koleda/Lucy and Soldier 11/Koleda/Ben.
I mention ben or koleda. I just showed Ben in the visuals as he is the f2p option
Ben is actually halfway decent at stunning, though I think some CCs are still thinking of the CBTs where you could put impact w-engines on him. Without that benefit, he really falls behind the real stunners.
Mostly though I think Guoba just wanted to show an F2P-friendly team. At this phase of the game, it's rare that players will have two synergistic S-ranks unless they got lucky. If you've managed to pull both S11 and Koleda, then congrats, that's a very strong duo.
actually using piper with nekomata is also really good since piper can fully charge nekos synergy passive really easily while also dealing some insane assault damage
I'm reaching chapter 3 so I haven't tested everyone "in context" but the game graced me with 2 koledas (beginner banner + losing 50/50) so I play her even though I dropped Ellen today.
I'm still having issues figuring out if there are any damage differences when you play her with Ben but I love to have a bear team 🐻
"Grace is a very quick swap in unit with a very short time on field"
Meanwhile there's me who just stays on field with her the most 😅
i was starting for ellen bhut i was so unlucky to get two times soldier 11 in 170 pulls and was forced to play with her... now i have ellen but i must say im totally in love with playing soldier 11 and i will build arround her^^ i hope we see soon some other members of the obol squad! lucky i pulled right after ellen the S Rank Fire Girl with the Hammer so it seems the game really want me to play with fire! xD
I've got a similar story - pulled Nekomata twice on the standard banner, then a third time after losing the 50/50 once for Ellen. Now I have the shark, but also zero excuses not to build the cat. I only got 2 S-ranks TO build after hitting pity four times... why'd all my luck end up going to the bangboos?
Hearing Piper get brought up so much for the S-Ranks I've pulled hurts so bad when she's the only A-Rank I haven't managed to pull.
Same here I would love to run her with nekomata and Lucy but whoopiee doo all I have is Lucy and a nekomata engine so got a long way before I can do that lol
Just got Nekomata 20 pulls after getting Ellen‼ Gonna save up for Zhu Yuan since I can get her with all the free pulls we’re getting in 1.0 :))) Loving the game so far and can’t wait to see what’s in store!!!
great nekomata team that ive been using is neko, anby, and corin. basically just spamming the basic attack waiting for the parry then swapping lol
Ooooh, finally certified information
People are sleeping on S11, Piper, Lucy team.
Disorder damage is crazy.
The damage is comparable to the meta ice team now, the only drawback, it's harder to use.
I have Soldier 11 Lucy Ben and sometimes Piper and been having a lot of fun. I want Ellen but may want Zhu Yuan too ugh
Would love to get Ellen especially since I have Lycaon, but I'm a dolphin on a budget so I'm saving for Zhu so I can continue working on having multiple teams with specific elements with a flex slot. My ice team is currently Lycaon, Soukaku, and Corin and they're doing extremely well. Got a fire team and lightning team, so Zhu can be part of my Ether team with Nicole.
i hope they one earnable agent in 1.1 - if they only keep dropping rng pull s tiers it's not gonn be fun...
I am testing out Ellen- koleda- Ben.
I have Ellen t1 with signature w engine and I play her on field pretty much 100% of time.
My account is inter knot level 36. I do my chain attack and go right back into Ellen again. I dropped soukako after I realize I never give her the feild time to let the flag fly. Lycaon is amazing and I will inner swap him out maybe for enemy weakness purposes. But I really like Ben for support. I’m pretty much playing with one life total because of my plan style just keeping those frost stacks going with Ellen at all times. Her daze build up and damage is so good before the chain attack it feels bad to be fielding any other character. Nicole is another one I’m building because putting her in third slot feels very good as well.
I want to add piper and Lucy but I already stretched my self thin. All resources need to be used carefully at this time. I’m risking progression trying to build a second team so soon.
I like how, unlike Genshin and HSR, all the permanent S ranks in ZZZ are good. Some are obviously better than others on release but they're all good in some way with potential to stay relevant or even get better with future new units. No dud pulls here.
My Anton is now Cinema 6 from pulling Ellen banner XD I'm near the 50/50 should I lose, I hope to get Grace/Rina for Anton, I'm also ok with Koleda since I'll pair them with Ben and my first 5 star Soldier11
I got Koleda XD which is good with Ben
OMG I still got Ellen lol, also got Lycaon so my Ice team is gonna be complete too 😂
Grace is actually a main DPS of the anomaly team.
I PULLED ELLEN AND LYCAON BACK TO BACK 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ben Bigger
Guoba Biggest
Soldier is my first standard banner character
I was today years old when i realised Nekomata was S Rank lol, ive played the game every day since launch and it never clicked!
The way my pulls went i did commit to Ellen and got her in about 120ish pulls (got a M1 Lycoan and M6 Sokaku on the way)
That and a Soldier 11 / Piper / Lucy 2nd team has me set for now.
I have a soft spot for Soldier 11 but i think Lycoan has to take the top spot for best standard S Rank as any team can use his easy proc Stuns
really wish i had Lycaon my Ellen team be complete would shred faster current, I'm stuck with anby since i need the stun, i been running shotaku or Rina with ellen, I prefer Rina more she's far easier to use and swap out. I'll will be waiting for Miyabi that cinematic won me over ill skipping Zhu yuan, ill maybe pick her up later possible no since 1.0 units will flag far behind in the future
Thanks Guoben
You should add "1.0 S ranks" in the title just in case some people see this much later in time
I lost the 50/50 with Lycaon so I guess it's time to wait for Miyabi
I love all characters, wish I could get Ellen though *COUGH COUGH*
Everyone mentions S11 Ben Lucy team, but isn't slotting stun unit instead of Ben will give S11 more damage? I'm playing her with Anby and Lucy and field her only after Anby's stun, making 16 attacks with E or Q on stunned enemy
We shall see how this game goes as far as optimal teams, i dont want it to become to ridiculous at later stages, where one is forced to take very specific one type teams.
Also yeah, having 3 Physical/attacker and a physical/anomaly is srsly dumb on their part, Billy could be a Support maybe, and Corin could have been a defender maybe.
..Grace gives major Oneesan vibes
I love playing with the fast paced necomata. Her, anby are regularitet in my team but iuse both Lucy, Corin and Billy as the third member. Nekos dig is not the greatest but her playing style is all i need. Am shipping 1.0 totally waiting for Hoshimi miyabi. I LOVE her jp va. Call me,a simp if u wanna, but ever since spice&wolf i have liked this va. NOT IN A BAD WAY. Its like music some is just better than others.😊
I hope they change Miyabi's element, because i already have Ellen
I am currently running a Piper - Lucy - Nekomata team and it feels okay since nekomata is my first s rank and i'm f2p
Piper helps prok assult which boost nekomata ex special plus her power passive boosts everyones damage
I think you can switch lucy with other support or a stunner
Dont know why Lycaon is rated so high by these CCs. Even though he has higher multipliers than the other stun units, his kit is the worst among them. He doesnt have projectile invicbility like Anby and he has much smaller hit box. This make his normal attack sequence prone to be interupted when facing multi-targets or frequently moving target.
He does not fit that well in into ellen team neither. Even though they both have passive when in the same team, they are both on-field characters that rely on normal attack. What ellen need is a swap-in stuner not a on-field stuner that fight for her field time.
Lucy. She should've been a 5 star.
noway zzz on main channel
the Ben cosplay tho lol
Hopefully Qingyi is an attacker. Zhu Yuan can get other partners along the road...
koleda has ruined all my pulls for von lycaon but she is doing very well as i only have her belobog team built
I don't know if other people are having this issue but, this video didn't appear in my subscription feed even though I've been subscribed to you for a long time.
i don't like any of the current S ranks xD
i got Soldier 11
but i only happen to like supports.... actually.. 2 charcters.... Nicole and Lucy...
ngl tho.... Anby kinda grew on me a bit
and Corrin's chainsaw seems fun!
As a furry girl who loves sharks, before I even considered meta I went for ellen and lycaon immediately, just got ellen and am super excited. Meta aside, is it likely these characters will be unusable due to powercreep in a year? I don't mean out of the meta, I know that's implied, but can we at least guess if they'll still be viable?
Mr. Gouba what's the talent priority for this team?
- Piper grace anby?
Honestly im gonna combust if i dont get lycaon in offrate or in standard banner before i hit the 300 mark for the selection. I gotten bronya in hsr this way and thats when i was purely f2p. Gonna whale a bit, but i hope im not disappointed...
Seems Zzz its Certificated by Guoba 🎉
I am saving for miyabi and got Ellen in 10 pulls trying to get soukaku...suffering from success. Hope she doesn't belong to ice element
