    I have to say, this is very well written.
    You have outdone yourself this time.
    You tackled an issue that hasn't been explained properly.
    There's a lot of people pushing the idea that "texas is broken, Surtr and phantom are dead" and giving people questionable information or "texas is overhyped" but refusing to elaborate the proper use case for texas instead of "higher dps than Surtr".
    And while I did understand everything you said in this video before you said it, I'm happy it's out there for more people to see and I have something to link to that explains why.

    I pulled Texalter, not having a Surtr of my own, thinking: "I'll finally have a mini-Surtr nuke to drop on my enemies."
    Fast forward a few days, I haven't used S2 at all, just dropping S3 whenever and wherever it's convenient, enjoying Annihilation Missions (which I despised before) like never before.
    Calling her a Top Tier QoL is more than accurate.

    Wow. I am very surprised to learn that Texas' third skill is considered to be her main one. Even after she was released, Phantom and Kafka continued to have niches for the purpose of stalling. I had never stopped to consider how staggering the difference in power Between them and Texas S3 was.
    I leave this video convinced in that regard. However, I still find that some more emphasis has to be placed on account progression when answering this question. While Texas is undisputably the best for older accounts, I would argue that new and progressing players stand to benefit the most from Mlynar or Ch'alter. They are at the point in the game when DPS is the sole deciding factor in clearing a stage, rather than CC and such. I would also say that these accounts make up the majority of the user base.
    Still, very enlightening video. It has definetly helped me realize which skill to prioritize for M3 first.

    • @Drails
      @Drails  Год назад +25

      eh, I looked more at the average midgame account which, I think by definition, makes up more than early game accounts
      for someone with say, half a dozen 6*s, and are playing relatively well with pulling for gameplay units and so on, odds are they have *some* form of strong dps, and borrowing is always an option for dps units, as opposed to say, skalter or sexas which holds a lot of value in regular qol - not even discounting their raw value
      good points though

      Its funny for me, a newbie that began on Mlynar banner how you, experienced player "would argue" what is the best for newbo. I mean, its been quite a while since you have been there. So let me tell you about Mlynar, because i was lucky enough to pick him in first 10. He absolutely revolutionized my account. I did everything to max him ASAP, and he made 99% of stages a fucking breeze. Other units served purpose just to stall so he can get his special ready. Yeah, i agree that "some other operators" would be more beneficial to me early on, but dont trivialize Mlynar impact on newbie accs. You make him your win condition and build around him. And it works. Theoretical debates "which unit is best for newbies" are pretty meaningless since we have no luxury of picking our operators, its gacha roll. Mlynar lets you finish content that would be impossible otherwise, and in a month or two you catch up with the rest of team anyway.

    Thank you for the deeper dive into Texas with this video. I knew that Texas was very powerful but never looked past the surface level of that power until this video.
    Its actually kind of refreshing to see S3 out performing S2 because a lot of arguments for operators typically hinge on the raw DPS level and not the utility they bring. The fact that Texas literally has a higher DPS skill but outshined by something else in her kit with lower damage but better utility is nice to see and brings forth some light that it isnt always about the highest raw number.
    I personally don't think Texas is the defacto strongest operator but i also don't have anyone in mind who would be stronger, perhaps just equally as talented. Arknights is a game conposed of the operators and their nuances and synergies. You need more than one operator to get the job done usually. Yes, i am ignoring Ling here. Lol.

      Texas is the strongest because, as a fast redeploy, she has mapwide presence. Part of what makes Chalter and Mlynar so good is their ability to cover 2 lanes.
      While it isn't full time, and isn't 2 lanes AT ONCE, the freedom to place her anywhere and erase entire waves is invaluable

And - its not just about how quickly you can get your team when your team slots are limited(if you dont have high utility units) In other words - any vanguard is viable, and stronger vanguards might not be able to give you as much dp, rather give you as much use of the early game and keep being powerful in the endgame unlike myrtle that you decided to take in your slot(the upcoming Vigil is a chance for you to overlook your playstyle)

High dps usually comes out on top, but I never thought ppl should only look at dps to judge the viability of an operator and ignore the other parts like the utility and strategies offered. I always prefer using an operator that can open up more playstyles and strategies rather than just an instant-clear button, it seems like I have to get Texas alter at all cost.

  • @brianchu8147

    I think there’s another CN “only” category and that’s lack of foresight. What I mean is, if you didn’t pull Texas on release, or if you didn’t have enough to hit the 300 pity, you would have a much harder time getting her again, vs Yato, with half the pity, or other standard ops, that can be spooked or come back around. It’s situational, but I think is an important thing to consider as strong operators you don’t have don’t do anything for you (though friend units mitigate that some). For GL, we have NO EXCUSE lol

    Whilst I don't necessarily agree that Texalter is the best 6* (that is a hefty topic that will require lots of rumination and a lot of comparisons of every single 6* in the game), I ABSOLUTELY agree with the sentiment that brute force dps isn't as good as most people think.
    In the end, dps is the most widespread option in the game, where even a lot of crowd-control and support units also have some dps capabilities. I think support units or units that can solve multiple problems well are inherently better than big dick dps, and executors are very powerful because they are a spammable body (so even if the unit is unblockable they can still serve as bait) and they also solve other problems, in this case Texalter's crowd control.
    I think the concept can be best described as quantity over quality. Not that quality isn't important, Texalter's s3 still has really good cc and stun capabilities, more that even though it isn't absolutely OD on paper, Texalter being an executor means you will be seeing that skill a lot more than a different crowd control skill (the one that comes to mind is mostima s3 but that isn't very fair to mostima).
    Not to say that quantity is always better than quality, NG s3 is the epitome of quality over quantity, but Texalter's spread of high quantity and good quality is particularly potent for her.
    Also massive tangent, I'm done with my main point so you can stop reading this now, it's surprising how many people don't value the power of extra bodies. Even if Deepcolor/Mayer/Scene and Phantom are somewhat reliant on deployment limit, you're still getting anywhere from 1 extra cyclable body with good crowd-control/dps to 7 very spammable bodies that could easily stall an enemy for a significant period of time. Your squad size increases tremendously even if the units have less impact. As seen by CC, having a larger squad is preferable even if deployment limit is going to be more limited, and being able to feasibly stall most enemies (unless they're unblockable) and divert attention from other operators regardless of squad size is huge in my book. This is just a rambling that I haven't thought through a lot though.

      Rosa has been very under rated for being able to control 2 lanes, and i dont think any unit is immune to her harpoon.

    The only op that would rival her in terms of irreplacability is Kaltsit s3, Since she cheeses alot of mechanics in the game

    - Enemy takes (x)% less phys and arts damage? Kalt'sit
    - Enemies has dodge? Kalt'sit

      In scenarios where you need to kill a boss in one burst cycle, Nearl S3 is better. Still, I personally prefer Kal S3 over Nearl S3 for the stupid fast skill cycle for on-demand true damage source and free block 3.

  • @thejuggernight1406
    @thejuggernight1406 Год назад +4

    I think I agree with 80% of what you said but I disagree on the conclusion I still think bagpipe is the best op in the game you need DP to get to sutr etc. in the high end content and like in gen content she just is QoL. but it is comparing apples to oranges so like who you value more is gonna depend on account state. like before I pulled bag pipe I didn't need her after I pull bagpipe she is perma in my squad.
    an argument for skill 2, you just deploy texas next to the boss and have someone else tank the hits texas loses a little damage but her skill 2 multipliers are still insane enough as they are. like you aren't taking texas for her what 14% damage increase. that is also assuming the boss doesn't just stop at some point and you can just texas the boss while it sits there. so like it isn't like her bossing is bad but also others have "better" tools for it.
    and on the replaceable side of things for example Silver ash is irreplaceable when his talent for redeploy times come up(so stall strats) and that is about it. however I wouldn't say that his niche is particularly needed in most contexts. having a FRD assassin is cool and all but when there is a single blue box and all the enemies meet up at a single part of the stage you can really just alternate helidrops the times where she shines above other strats is in incredibly complex maps with a lot of lanes where moving between locations and threats is super valuable and that just doesn't actually happen a whole lot most of the time we at most get 2 maybe 3 lanes. not saying she isn't good in 1 lane content it is her value diminishes as there are other strats that work on low brain power deploy mountain here= win isn't exactly hard. the thing that makes irreplaceable good is that you actually need what it brings for example NG was trash in the beginning of the game because the amount of arts damage in the game didn't put stress on ptilopsis enough to warrant building her. being irreplaceable out of context isn't a strong argument you have to sell what you bring is actually need to say the contexts in which it is good. I think you do that in this video you showcase. irreplaceability shouldn't be one of the three main categories as there are very few talents/skills that are truly irreplaceable and they are all incredibly unique cases when they do
    not saying she isn't the arguable most flexible DPS in the game but trying to say that she is better than NG or bagpipe just feels wrong she might be more flashy than the two of them but like flashy just means more people will immediately see the power not that they aren't doing. I also don't think that there is an objective best operator in the game mainly because I think supports are way more valuable to have in general mainly because you can make a "bad" DPS do whatever op you compare to levels of damage way easier that it is to get +6 SP on your vanguards or whatever talent you need.
    also welcome back hope your break from content creation was refreshing.

    I have been playing Texas since she first came out and have never once used her S2 outside of IS3. The damage is good but her S3 just has so much more utility, especially when I have units like Surtr or Chalter who can do higher DPS. IMO Texalter is the best operator in the game, not because of her damage, but because of how easily accessible that damage is.

    I prob have her and Ling neck and neck/slight Ling bias, but can def see it.

I would also put Bag up there but MuMu makes her less of a necessity nowadays and is now 'just' optimal.
