I'll be doing my *10,000th summon* live on stream on Thursday at banner drop. Catch it here on RUclips or over at twitch.tv/misterkong By the way, the in-game announcement has confirmed *the MU will be 5 weeks long* which means it's much easier for them to plop Kreuger & Werner back in. The in-game EoL announcement also *confirms* the YYH banners will be coming back!!! All hands on deck!!!
The EOL announcement says that the Kurama and Yusuke skins are coming back so seems like YYH is set for this cycle. Oh no, my vouchers! They're broken!
@@yunglsan You're right, good eye! It not only confirms the skins, but also explicitly says that the YYH crossover summoning banners will be opening soon as well!
So after my bad collab banner run, I was lucky on the next banner I got Mariandel in one draw (when my last draw was an SSR in the collab banner), so I expected to have bad luck with werner (guess the bad luck was delaying his banner), well so I tried my luck this week and on my first draw I got Azusa which makes it 3 SSR in 3 pulls in row, I did 3 more pulls and I got Oboro, so I kinda feel good that the game wasn't mean for me. (hopefully it doesnt get me ready to suffer in the YYH collab) Thanks kong for your videos.
I want to pull for both but YYH comes first (if it comes; started long after the initial run so I want to fill out the collection if possible). What I really need is that Auto/Maiya/Noemi banner for a guaranteed Maiya for a surprising number of bonds. Otherwise a quiet summoning month unless week 5 of the MU throws me for a loop (but Kreuger/Verner won't change anything if it is that banner). Cheers to 10,000 summons!
If the banners in between this upcoming and the next set of new heroes is this, then I can very safely try and go for them (I got all, but Rainforce; and even though he's in a destiny banner I may still skip it despite collection purposes). I've seen both Azusa and Oboro in both season 10 and 11 in Chinese in plenty of boxes, and I've seen how pretty good they both are in action...of course I'm not a serious Apex player, so it will knock down for the necessity and wanting to grind for their shards, but I would still like to have them, if possible... I'm definitely looking forward to the next set of heroes, as you did both mention and show her up in the video.
Saving for yuyu. And if not comes, for Hilda and Auto and Juggler. Skipping Wettham as well. I could use a bag shards for Estelle but alas, Zilong doesnt want my money
i want Azusa! added : Gah, only have 110 go to Pity and got Oboro. as always always got what i want the least 😭 at least it not a off banner duplicate. Kong whenever you says "Banner Mate" my mind always think about Maid. 🤣 my Brain is screwed up
I've actually seen some PvP videos with Azusa - and she's a beast. That attack type conversion usually means that a hero will deal virtually no dmg to her (which is waaaay better than simple revive effect, because revive usually leaves you with a tiny amount of hp, but her thing leaves her with full hp or just barely scratched). And it's rechargeable. It's such a shame that she isn't a princess.... because right now I'm building my "waifu" army with Christiane in front that has that really convenient faction buff.
@@naejin Hybrid heroes are definitely her main counter. Not exactly an expert on specific ones though. Anything that uses AoE is also good against her since attack type conversion happens only when she's actively attacked in battle. She's a pain in the butt for those "full assassin" boxes, which is great.
Renata:who are you Oboro:I'm you,but WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better at being Dragon*taking 4 turns to charge and turn into literal Dragon* Renata:*falls on the ground due to heart attack* Oboro:Well that was easy
The YYH rerun is two banners: Yusuke + Kurama, and Hiei + Toguro Bros. The Echo of Light skins ($300) include Yusuke and Kurama, and Hiei's skin is available in the normal shop for skin vouchers (no alternate skin for Toguro).
Kaguya! Kagura is a different character (also not to be confused with Kayura) 😅 - anyway, Kaguya is headlining the Major Update after this Oboro & Azusa one (so 5 weeks from now).
Question: Does Oboro stays transformed until the end of battle or he has a timer? Also, I REALLY liked the aesthetics of both characters, so I guess I'm going to burn some summons on them...
He stays transformed till the end of the battle, or till an enemy transforms him into dead. That's one of the reasons he's seeing good use in Ancient Beckoning-once he gets over that initial transformation hump, you get 95 turns of pure DPS out of him.
@@Kongrisser Yeah that sounds pretty awesome . . . makes me tempted to pull on this banner. But I need to save up for Hiei to complete my YuYu collection. Though at this point it looks like getting all the Collabs is impossible. I have doubts we'll see Lodoss rerun yet again and I somehow managed to miss Ashram both times. So my account will never be complete :(. No it isn't that bad, I have always been willing to take a pass on the Collabs where I am not in absolute love with the source material. But it will be like an itch that I just can't scratch.
@@GrimoireOfTheSage I was willing to pass on collabs for a long time because they're not Langrisser characters and they often don't fit in with the theme of the game (although the Lodoss characters fit in really well). Never say never, though! If this game lives longer than they expected it to, they may want to continue to cycle content. Once they get through the next couple of upcoming collabs (YYH and then Gintama), it'll be interesting to see if we get another new one or another rerun (should be Cold Steel this time).
Am I the only one who has all the characters in the game, including those from colabs, or is that a relatively common thing for long-time players? I started day 1 and have logged on every single day. Just wondering!
Im at a yrar barley spend and hqve lile 65 or 66 ssr not counting free ones like Grenier and most colabs thqt have been out since then think I am missing 2. Pretty nice how the games pittu workd. My last pitty though on this banner ouch got a dupe betty but luckily one more 10pull and got Azusa
He shells out damage, but people overestimate his bulk. You can just kill him with a lot of stuff. So there are definitely countermeasures. The problem is that the good ones who end up staying in people's boxes will be played by players who build bulky tanky teams who are able to keep him alive.

When Kong uploads, I interrupt everything else I’m doing and click lol
Me too :p
So true. This is my version of getting sports updates
Both of these characters look so interesting. I got Azusa in 20, so I am tempted to go back and try for Oboro as well

YYH is now confirmed in the in-game Echo of Light announcement to be coming back during this monthly update (probably next week)!
Always here to give support! Grats on another video Kong :)
Thanks Bakyra!
so many banners! i need all the characters

Azusa: You can only hit me with your weakest attacks!
Clotaire: So, right arm or left arm?
Any FreeKong Apex streams coming up?
Really Really reaaaaallllyyyy, hoping for the Yu yu hakusho rerun. Guess we'll find out on Thursday.
Right there with you in hoping! 🙏 YYH characters make up 66.6% of all the characters I'm missing in the game!
Update: YYH is now confirmed in the in-game Echo of Light announcement to be coming back during this monthly update (probably next week)!
@@Kongrisser you just made my day sir! Over flowing toilets and cranky infants can't kill my mood now!
i want Azusa!
added : Gah, only have 110 go to Pity and got Oboro. as always always got what i want the least 😭 at least it not a off banner duplicate.
Kong whenever you says "Banner Mate" my mind always think about Maid. 🤣 my Brain is screwed up
3:35 Kong has a wacky sense of humor. I approve.
Azusa's magic attack equals to her physical attack, so I don't have to add any magic attack power, at least.
Well, both new units are very interesting. But no way I can go for either of them...Gotta save for the Hilda Destiny banner.
I've actually seen some PvP videos with Azusa - and she's a beast. That attack type conversion usually means that a hero will deal virtually no dmg to her (which is waaaay better than simple revive effect, because revive usually leaves you with a tiny amount of hp, but her thing leaves her with full hp or just barely scratched). And it's rechargeable. It's such a shame that she isn't a princess.... because right now I'm building my "waifu" army with Christiane in front that has that really convenient faction buff.
Does this make hybrid heroes that build both ATK & INT more useful against Azusa? Which heroes qualify for this ability role? Rainforce?
@@naejin Hybrid heroes are definitely her main counter. Not exactly an expert on specific ones though. Anything that uses AoE is also good against her since attack type conversion happens only when she's actively attacked in battle. She's a pain in the butt for those "full assassin" boxes, which is great.
@@naejin Clotaire uses both Atk and Int, so he'd be a possible counter. Also has some aoe attacks I believe
Renata:who are you
Oboro:I'm you,but WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better at being Dragon*taking 4 turns to charge and turn into literal Dragon*
Renata:*falls on the ground due to heart attack*
Oboro:Well that was easy
I think Oboro would make Renata _very_ happy. 😂
@@Kongrisser in terms of Love interest
Yes
Utility
She would drop down and die from Heart Attack,because Oboro is basicaly outdragon her
Didn't know he was gonna be this good I got him twice and his partner once
Hoping to get both for my origins of light team.
Origins of Light is getting some serious love these days!
About the yuyu hakusho rerun will hiei be included because I only see yusuke ?
The YYH rerun is two banners: Yusuke + Kurama, and Hiei + Toguro Bros. The Echo of Light skins ($300) include Yusuke and Kurama, and Hiei's skin is available in the normal shop for skin vouchers (no alternate skin for Toguro).
@@Kongrisser oh ok bet good to kno appreciate u
Skip: Still saving for Wet-Ham 25 shards so far to hunt me in my dreams. This time I get him for sure.
That'll be a great week for everyone like you who has been haunted by floating Wehttam shards for months!
I'm skipping them for now although I like the designs and their playtime sounds interesting. I don't have the characters for their bonds rn.
At least they'll be back-and available as pleasant off-banner surprises in the future.
Kagura huh?
Curiously piqued.
Kaguya! Kagura is a different character (also not to be confused with Kayura) 😅 - anyway, Kaguya is headlining the Major Update after this Oboro & Azusa one (so 5 weeks from now).
@@Kongrisser lol oops! Looking forward to your video on her.
Also hope Lushiris blesses me since they’re released on my birthday lol please goddess 🙏
🎉 Happy birthday and best of luck!
@@Kongrisser Thank you Kong, and same to you. I’ll be sure to tune into your stream that day as well. I’m sure it will be something special!

It's pretty common for early / hardcore / spending players. But there are a lot more later / casual / free players by comparison.

thxs for video
give us some more OG Langrisser characters! Xeld! Thorn!
McClaine and ricky coming soon!
And my #1 main man in the series, Duke Carleon of Salrath!
Early video.
Oboro looks enormous broken... Even more than Iron chancellor... Annoying. Another OP without counter measures.
