It's still a reasonably valuable skill, though... there isn't too much need for it in a lot of cases. They've been giving her more synergy options with Stun, so her value as an operator is still there, just that her role has shifted a bit when it comes to harder content
Ash was a side-grade to Exusiai; the other 6 star rapid fire sniper (sorry; "marksman") at the time of her original release. They were both clearly strong and both had their roles. But...power creep makes fools of most Year 1/2 operators in any gacha game. (well, Wis'Adel makes fools of nearly ALL OTHER operators. But we've been doing this song and dance since Surtr and Chalter)
Comments: On each operator showcase. Ash: One of the operator who have niche 3rd skill. Her main skill is 2nd Skill which relying on the stun.

Rate: 7/10 Pepe: Her Talent gives buff to all guard which is nice but the 1st one is very enemy hoard reliant. And I thought the SP she gains is base on the times she hit the enemy on skill. Understandable being an AOE guard with half damage on the other one skill that have strong lane capability, another skill give stun but half stun duration to other and one that is niche.

hmm ill focus my pulls on ulpianus, logos and W mk.2 , thanks for the videos btw, i've been busy this last year with job related stuff and i didn't pay much attention to the game, these are excellent for my future pull planing.
Ya'll mfs so braindead😭😭 Just look up the meaning of "& co". Literally. And for the lazy, it means "and company" or "and others". It's not a new unit, it just means someone to support them
I want you to listen very very carefully... *throws out a giant anchor with a force of a freight train to multiple enemies across the map* thank you for the refreshing take on crushers ;v; i too think they are more than just a healer's black hole. also the tender loving care to executor
Going for Wisadel and Logos, so I can finally play my Faction niche. Babel Knight. Or Mother and Children knight (Theresa, Amiya, Wisadel, Logos and Ascalon). Might want to pull Nymph also, but I'm still not sure which faction she's belong to, even after reading her story.
I really appreciated your going into detail on how to push Wišadel to have more going on with her than "win button with no drawbacks"! I've been seriously considering rolling for Logos and skipping building her so that I'm not tempted by the allure of braindead strats that I'd ultimately have less fun with. However, learning more about the potential nuances of her kit opens up the possibility of best of both worlds: funny big number AND interesting gameplay. -So yeah, if you feel up for making that kind of vid, I'd love to see it!
I disagree with reed alter. Shes extremely casual friendly; her s3 feels like an arts delete button in similar vein to someone like degen or mlynar for casual content. And she also has a place for high end content with both S2 and S3. Shes honestly not hard to use since she's self-sustaining, high damaging, while being very supportive of the entire team with arts fragility and healing. I think shes similar to Executor in being multiple operators in one imo. Which prolly means Ascalon, Reedic, and Exalter are all exchangeable. On top of that, she's a top started pick in IS. (Speaking as a casual-brained Dokutah who has every meta op in EN)
Her S2 is the hard one to use optimally, the condition is easy, sandwiching the enemy with texas2 S2 and surtr S3 or any other operators before using S2 but in reality it's quite hard. the majority of problems are not all the maps can utilize this specific placement.
A good ranking, though there are points where I don't agree with you. I'd personally put Ulpianus higher than Narantuya, because even though his 0 def is a glaring weakness, he also has one of the best burst damage. Instead, Narantuya has no glaring weakness, but also no glaring good points other than her defensive capacities as a sniper. So she is easily replaced by others, unless you're running a sniper only team like you showcased her on. I also don't agree with how you showcased Pepe only as a stun locker, and didn't speak at all of her first talent that show she is more intended as a laneholder. Though I agree that she is underwhelming compared to the rest. And finally, you didn't speak at all of Nymph S3, which combined with Virtuosa S3, is the best true damage you can deal, simply skipping boss's damage reduction mechanics like Sanguinarch and Mandragora. I do understand that you need Virtuosa, who is a limited operator that not eveyone have, but a mention of this monstrous combo would have been good at the very least. Edit : I forgot about Reed Alter, where I also don't agree with how you showcased her. People don't use her as a healer so there is simply no need to compare her to Eyja Alter, a pure healer. People use her for her DPS, her AOE capacities, and her self sustain due to her class, and few use her S3 for burst healing.
Explain how does Ulpianus has one of the best burst damage in-game with a 25 sec skill? Narantuya is such a good debuffer, both with her enemy accuracy debuff and atk,def steal, she has one of the highest dps in game and becomes a monster with a few buffs Against most enemies Logos+Virtuosa can do what Nymph+Virtuosa does but better, plus he is still useful without Virtuosa
it goes to personal preference I think. Narantuya is good more consistently than Ulpianus so I gave her a better ranking for that. Pepe really doesn't feel like a laneholder with much downtime on her S3 and depending on killing shit to mitigate that but she is very new so we'll see how she does in the future. Nymph S3 isn't there because if you want to kill actual strong enemies with it virtuosa is kinda required and not only is she a limited 6* who will never rerun but if I allow external ops to help then should I also consider shit like the entire abyssal hunter squad to help Ulpianus when ranking him? Besides S3 is the secondary skill compared to S2 so I don't think there's a problem there. For Reed the stage I used her in was literally her only killing shit so I did use her as a dps AOE and not for healing, her not being higher is because like I said she isn't as straight forward to use as some of the later entries while reaching around the same level as them and she doesn't reach as high as ops like Ela even if she is harder than Reed so relative to them I think she is lower, comparing her to eyja was to say you also don't nee her healing on top of the difficulty to use compared to later entires
Ela's Grzmot Mine was supposed to be like in this collab later on. But since it was slightly too powerful in the original game, they decided to nerf her, removing the slow effect for the sake of the balancing.
Great video! I think it pretty much lines up with my expectations except that you made a very good case for Ascalon which I didn't expect. As far as pulling plans go...no idea to be honest. I have quite a stockpile since I wasn't willing to go hard for Shu (was hoping I'd get her instead of Zuo Le but thems the breaks. We always have support units). I never played or had interest in R6S, but Ela looks fun enough that I'll pull there. If that goes cleanly, might even go for Ash's banner, but that's uncertain. Saving until Walter was the plan after that, but now I have to consider Ascalon. Yeah, I just realized I have no idea what my plans are. Love these videos though.
I think the only problem with Ash and with Pepe is that any boss now is imune to stun, so all they can do is kill elites, and there is a ton of units that can do it.
genuinely needed another video to remind me that i must stay strong to save up for logos after shu's banner. i don't care much for walter but i NEED logos so badly
As a CN player Ulpianus is really under Narantuya on overall gameplay, Ulpian shine lot better with abyssl squad but that's a benefic or limitation factor, as for nymph, I can understand your complain, she's really not that good solo, either S2 need SP battery to work very well OR necrosis dealer ally for her S3. I have them all m3/M6
The way "Fear" Crowd control works is like the following : The feared enemy mark a tile behind him around 180° -Away from the fear source - Than he have 5s to walk into that tile, If the tile is in place unreachable, The enemy well be circling around himself. TL'DR/ If you want the best fear effict you need an open place first or good RNG. It's not always a bad thing, having an enemy stuck in one tile is also good for your DPS operators.
Happy to see Ascalon get some love but it’ll be exciting to see what the next 3 months of characters bring. I really wish Fang Atler wasn’t on the Wisadel banner cause I’m more excited for her than the other ops.
Me watching the video despite skipping them all all for dungeon meshi collab: 😶😶 Honestly i like analysis vids like this since it makes me want to try them via friend list.
Pepe's best trait is definitely big aoe stuns. Her dph is great too but the stuns are what make her different from the rest of the oongaboonga guards at this point.
I like this list a lot, only thing i would change is i think Reed Alter is higher, yes she is not as simple to use as others but her ceiling with S2 or S3 is just insanely high. Also for Nymph i tuink you should have shown her strenght with S3 paired with Virtuosa; also Logos deserved an S2 Mention. Anyway very good and useful video, only critique i have, pls don't show story chapter bosses that have still yet to come to global like in the Logos showcase, a lot of people don't like getting spoiled on story
I am assuming it's because the higher ranked Operators literally don't need faction bonus to annihilate everything. Anyone from the Abyssal Hunters squad already have insane synergy with each other, it feels like the game is telling you to run the full AH squad together always, and when you do, running AH operators without each other feels...different. Not underwhelming, just different. Just my thoughts.
@@FBread-xj8qk Ulpianus is really popular in IS5 even without other hunters, with a decent amount of people considering him the best guard in IS5. He benefits from a crazy amount of relics compared to other operators, he can self purge necrosis build up, draw aggro and if you get some SP on deploy relics the run is almost already over. IS5 maps feature a lot of lines his move skill can abuse. Also, in general modes Shu is enough for Ulpianus survivability if you don't want Gladiia.
Strat idea: Deploy Ela's mine near the base so Ascalon's DoT can finish a tanky enemy or deploy Ela's mine to assist Fast Redeply DPH, specifically I think YatoR fares really well with Fragility
S tier tier list but I think Ascalon should be at 3rd really. Her slow niche is pretty nice consider how other ops like Passenger Mostima Manticore does no damage. Also the reduce accuracy made her much more versatile than Fedex and Ela i think.
When i see the r6 collab and rerun i want to get both banner but ash is already too old and there are so many sniper so I'm gonna get ela and save the rest for wisadel
My pull plans: Ash: Already have her, and suprised that i dont use her that much any more Ela: Absolutely. A trapmaster/sniper that can easily add fragile wherever the enemy goes. MUST GET HER Reed: Already have her, and absolute love. She is so friggin good Ascalon: Shes cool and all, but not really interested. Skip Wisadel: Man, the power-creep is really starting to infect everyone these days. And not just a power creep. A friggin nuke bomb of an operator. I hate W as a character, but there is no way im not gonna pull for her Logos: ABSOLUTELY FUCKING YES. I have waited for this man to break out of NPC jail for so long, and finally he's here. I would already get him cause he is a husbando, but thank goodness he is a fucking machine. The strongest caster actually proved his worth when as a playable character Ulpianus: ALSO FUCKING YES. I HAVE TO HAVE EVERY HOT HUSBANDO IN MY GRASP (I want him to crush me with his thighs). And hes absolute bonkers for my abyssal team, so YES Nymph: Im unsure to pull for her or not. Design wise, NO for me, but her skill that allows enemies to be frightened is very tempting. Will wait until her banner comes to make a decision Pepe: I really wanna skip her. But shes limited, so nope Narantuya: She seems really cool (and more interesting than the limited) so will try to pull for her
If i have zuo le, does he overlap with executor's niche? I know fedex is good against mob but zuo s2 can clear mob with better skill cycle too? My impression is fedex better against weaker but more numerous mob since his attack is aoe, Zuo is limited to 2 block count for s2 or 3 target with s3, but he thrives in harder content & crazy good with harder enemies, for example relicless a15 is4
I am going get ela, ash and ulpianus. Reason i want ela and ash : They are the super limited. Look at ash, she almost 2 year got the rerun. Ulpianus : DADDYYYYY!!!!! PLZ BE MY FATHER!!!!
i love ur contents. as a low spender in this game (and i finally got my favorite ops like full pot Elysium and Pallas), I need to really think about my pulls to make my gaming more efficient so ur vids are super helpful (I'm a busy college student so I can't spend too much time in Arknights so yeah)
This definitely sounds dumb but man I am actually more excited about Pepe skill 1 the most at a glance lol. Removing cc on a 5s cd seems really nice in some cases.
I feel like I'm in a position, with my 280 operators, where I don't have to adhere to meta anymore. I can clear 95% of content without using my brain and the really hard parts can usually be cleared with Mlynar. I feel like I want to get all the Abyssal Hunters and so I will. I feel like not getting any Sui operators and so I don't. Having enough cornerstones, I now have a freedom to not roll for any new operators at all.
I'm surprised. This one of the very few Arknights operators rankings that I completely agree. The number 1 and 2 are irreplaceable and the undisputed best units in the game. Logos and Wis'adel's banner is indeed the strongest banner in Arknights history. I doubt they will ever get powercrept.
I would rank Ulpianus above Narant and Nymph because his drawback practically doesn't exist, while bringing dph that can make Ray look like a joke while having a very unique&useful mechanic on s3. Not to mention he can afk duo trivialise many stages with Gladiia, including steam knight boss stage.
The way I see it, I'll be rolling for Logos and W'alter will show up anyway because that's how my luck works. I'll likely skip nymph but try to get the rest of the new ones if I can, I already have Reed and exec so no worries there.

Her S2 is the hard one to use optimally, the condition is easy, sandwiching the enemy with texas2 S2 and surtr S3 or any other operators before using S2 but in reality it's quite hard. the majority of problems are not all the maps can utilize this specific placement.
@@aadipdip1326 You can sandwich enemies between Reed and another operator in %85 of the stages with ease, so its kind of nonsense
A good ranking, though there are points where I don't agree with you. I'd personally put Ulpianus higher than Narantuya, because even though his 0 def is a glaring weakness, he also has one of the best burst damage. Instead, Narantuya has no glaring weakness, but also no glaring good points other than her defensive capacities as a sniper. So she is easily replaced by others, unless you're running a sniper only team like you showcased her on.
I also don't agree with how you showcased Pepe only as a stun locker, and didn't speak at all of her first talent that show she is more intended as a laneholder. Though I agree that she is underwhelming compared to the rest.
And finally, you didn't speak at all of Nymph S3, which combined with Virtuosa S3, is the best true damage you can deal, simply skipping boss's damage reduction mechanics like Sanguinarch and Mandragora. I do understand that you need Virtuosa, who is a limited operator that not eveyone have, but a mention of this monstrous combo would have been good at the very least.
Edit : I forgot about Reed Alter, where I also don't agree with how you showcased her. People don't use her as a healer so there is simply no need to compare her to Eyja Alter, a pure healer. People use her for her DPS, her AOE capacities, and her self sustain due to her class, and few use her S3 for burst healing.
Explain how does Ulpianus has one of the best burst damage in-game with a 25 sec skill?
Narantuya is such a good debuffer, both with her enemy accuracy debuff and atk,def steal, she has one of the highest dps in game and becomes a monster with a few buffs
Against most enemies Logos+Virtuosa can do what Nymph+Virtuosa does but better, plus he is still useful without Virtuosa
Pepe isnt that impressive as a laneholder either. She cant heal herself so Executor and Zuo obliterates her on comparisons
it goes to personal preference I think. Narantuya is good more consistently than Ulpianus so I gave her a better ranking for that. Pepe really doesn't feel like a laneholder with much downtime on her S3 and depending on killing shit to mitigate that but she is very new so we'll see how she does in the future. Nymph S3 isn't there because if you want to kill actual strong enemies with it virtuosa is kinda required and not only is she a limited 6* who will never rerun but if I allow external ops to help then should I also consider shit like the entire abyssal hunter squad to help Ulpianus when ranking him? Besides S3 is the secondary skill compared to S2 so I don't think there's a problem there. For Reed the stage I used her in was literally her only killing shit so I did use her as a dps AOE and not for healing, her not being higher is because like I said she isn't as straight forward to use as some of the later entries while reaching around the same level as them and she doesn't reach as high as ops like Ela even if she is harder than Reed so relative to them I think she is lower, comparing her to eyja was to say you also don't nee her healing on top of the difficulty to use compared to later entires
@@Storn_ Many people dont realize how glued Nymph is to Virtuosa. And even there Logos beats Nymph on 99% of the situations on the same combo lmao
Ela's Grzmot Mine was supposed to be like in this collab later on. But since it was slightly too powerful in the original game, they decided to nerf her, removing the slow effect for the sake of the balancing.
31:08 if someone is gonna dislike your video, it's because of this
Logos and Alpianus are both my main targets ❤
Great video! I think it pretty much lines up with my expectations except that you made a very good case for Ascalon which I didn't expect. As far as pulling plans go...no idea to be honest. I have quite a stockpile since I wasn't willing to go hard for Shu (was hoping I'd get her instead of Zuo Le but thems the breaks. We always have support units). I never played or had interest in R6S, but Ela looks fun enough that I'll pull there. If that goes cleanly, might even go for Ash's banner, but that's uncertain. Saving until Walter was the plan after that, but now I have to consider Ascalon.
Yeah, I just realized I have no idea what my plans are. Love these videos though.
Thanks for the info ❤, now saving for Ela, Logos and Wis
As much as i want Walter.. that new Lappy leak got me acting (in a saving type of way), ya know
I think the only problem with Ash and with Pepe is that any boss now is imune to stun, so all they can do is kill elites, and there is a ton of units that can do it.
genuinely needed another video to remind me that i must stay strong to save up for logos after shu's banner. i don't care much for walter but i NEED logos so badly
Feel like you're definitely selling Ulpianus pretty short, putting him behind Narantuya and Nymph just doesn't feel right.
As a CN player Ulpianus is really under Narantuya on overall gameplay, Ulpian shine lot better with abyssl squad but that's a benefic or limitation factor, as for nymph, I can understand your complain, she's really not that good solo, either S2 need SP battery to work very well OR necrosis dealer ally for her S3. I have them all m3/M6
he did say some of the ops could be moved around, especially depending on taste
The way "Fear" Crowd control works is like the following :
The feared enemy mark a tile behind him around 180° -Away from the fear source - Than he have 5s to walk into that tile, If the tile is in place unreachable, The enemy well be circling around himself.
TL'DR/ If you want the best fear effict you need an open place first or good RNG.
It's not always a bad thing, having an enemy stuck in one tile is also good for your DPS operators.
Happy to see Ascalon get some love but it’ll be exciting to see what the next 3 months of characters bring. I really wish Fang Atler wasn’t on the Wisadel banner cause I’m more excited for her than the other ops.
The thumbnail is everything you need to know in artwork department.
Let’s go Logos Supremacy!! All in for you!!
EXACTLY 🤝
got broke after shu so i have started saving again- 100% f2p so i hope i get him early within 100 pulls 🙏
@@fefedusts hope you got lucky in getting, Logos!
@@esther2804 thank you ^^ may all our early pulls be blessed by the beloved banshee 🖤
Didn't expect to get rickrolled via text ngl 😂
The upcoming ops are honestly a pain because so many of them are crazy good, culminating in Wis'adels banner.
Head of S. W. E. E. P. is sweeping the rankings! You love to see it.
And congratulations to LoGOAT, he's so insane.
Me watching the video despite skipping them all all for dungeon meshi collab: 😶😶
Honestly i like analysis vids like this since it makes me want to try them via friend list.
can't wait for the Banshee
There is one big fat elephant in the room when discussing Ulpianus and you only have shown us it's trunk and ignored rest of its big multilegged body.
his pianus?
@@Hel1mutthis ex-wife/second module Gladiia
@@jasperwong2970 r/woosh
@@Hel1mutt sorry I mean yes his pianus
ngl was only gonna save and pull for the R6 ops (And Wis'adel) since theyre super limited and very hot. This video sold me hard on Executor
gotta love the reused footage from Zhuo Le highlights that included Ulpi 😂
Pepe's best trait is definitely big aoe stuns. Her dph is great too but the stuns are what make her different from the rest of the oongaboonga guards at this point.
I know who I am pulling for 💖
I love how typhon looks like vibing on music
Every one of those clears was insane. Brains must have been on a limited banner that I missed.
Banner after banner, every one of them I want, it’s so joever
8:00 also nice sync
I feel like ulpian is a solid #3 if you take into account his performance on the abyssal hunter squad
Did not expect getting rick roll-ed in a video like this
cool videos, would like to have more of these, tho it may be a pain to make new one each 3 months and repeating yourself on some positions
As a Dorothy simp, seeing her outshine Ela in her own showcase made me happy lol
Dorothy still has the damage. Ela is mainly here for utility tbh.
Getting the Classic W has been my goal since I started playing so as soon as I get her and Walter I'll be satisfied
My guy has cracked the code on my attention span.
I like this list a lot, only thing i would change is i think Reed Alter is higher, yes she is not as simple to use as others but her ceiling with S2 or S3 is just insanely high. Also for Nymph i tuink you should have shown her strenght with S3 paired with Virtuosa; also Logos deserved an S2 Mention.
Anyway very good and useful video, only critique i have, pls don't show story chapter bosses that have still yet to come to global like in the Logos showcase, a lot of people don't like getting spoiled on story
Ulpianus at rank 9 is felt like a crime ngl
imo an easy 3 on the abyssal squad
I am assuming it's because the higher ranked Operators literally don't need faction bonus to annihilate everything. Anyone from the Abyssal Hunters squad already have insane synergy with each other, it feels like the game is telling you to run the full AH squad together always, and when you do, running AH operators without each other feels...different. Not underwhelming, just different. Just my thoughts.
@@FBread-xj8qk Ulpianus is really popular in IS5 even without other hunters, with a decent amount of people considering him the best guard in IS5. He benefits from a crazy amount of relics compared to other operators, he can self purge necrosis build up, draw aggro and if you get some SP on deploy relics the run is almost already over. IS5 maps feature a lot of lines his move skill can abuse. Also, in general modes Shu is enough for Ulpianus survivability if you don't want Gladiia.
@@yiraw and when Shu is limited, Gladiia - free
@@yirawI've tested both quite a lot and find ZL way way way better than Ulpian in IS5
Strat idea:
Deploy Ela's mine near the base so Ascalon's DoT can finish a tanky enemy
or deploy Ela's mine to assist Fast Redeply DPH, specifically I think YatoR fares really well with Fragility
S tier tier list but I think Ascalon should be at 3rd really. Her slow niche is pretty nice consider how other ops like Passenger Mostima Manticore does no damage. Also the reduce accuracy made her much more versatile than Fedex and Ela i think.
I'm hoping I'll have the budget to try for Reed Alter.
When an op is labeled "goofy" it's an insta pull for me
When i see the r6 collab and rerun i want to get both banner but ash is already too old and there are so many sniper so I'm gonna get ela and save the rest for wisadel
Exe and Zuo le are just literally monster SP
All that Ulpianus showcase did was convince me to build Zuo Le
thx as always for the info
My pull plans:
Ash: Already have her, and suprised that i dont use her that much any more
Ela: Absolutely. A trapmaster/sniper that can easily add fragile wherever the enemy goes. MUST GET HER
Reed: Already have her, and absolute love. She is so friggin good
Ascalon: Shes cool and all, but not really interested. Skip
Wisadel: Man, the power-creep is really starting to infect everyone these days. And not just a power creep. A friggin nuke bomb of an operator. I hate W as a character, but there is no way im not gonna pull for her
Logos: ABSOLUTELY FUCKING YES. I have waited for this man to break out of NPC jail for so long, and finally he's here. I would already get him cause he is a husbando, but thank goodness he is a fucking machine. The strongest caster actually proved his worth when as a playable character
Ulpianus: ALSO FUCKING YES. I HAVE TO HAVE EVERY HOT HUSBANDO IN MY GRASP (I want him to crush me with his thighs). And hes absolute bonkers for my abyssal team, so YES
Nymph: Im unsure to pull for her or not. Design wise, NO for me, but her skill that allows enemies to be frightened is very tempting. Will wait until her banner comes to make a decision
Pepe: I really wanna skip her. But shes limited, so nope
Narantuya: She seems really cool (and more interesting than the limited) so will try to pull for her
If i have zuo le, does he overlap with executor's niche? I know fedex is good against mob but zuo s2 can clear mob with better skill cycle too?
My impression is fedex better against weaker but more numerous mob since his attack is aoe, Zuo is limited to 2 block count for s2 or 3 target with s3, but he thrives in harder content & crazy good with harder enemies, for example relicless a15 is4
Crazy girl with the strongest weapon still on TOP
Battlefield: Ruined City 23:55
Agent Manfred: "why won't you surrender?"
*M*-Orpheus (Kal'tsit in a trench coat): "because he is The _Chosen_ One"
Don't we all just love a good dose of power creep
I am going get ela, ash and ulpianus.
Reason i want
ela and ash :
They are the super limited. Look at ash, she almost 2 year got the rerun.
Ulpianus :
DADDYYYYY!!!!! PLZ BE MY FATHER!!!!
fact: both the strongest future operator in the same banner
i love ur contents. as a low spender in this game (and i finally got my favorite ops like full pot Elysium and Pallas), I need to really think about my pulls to make my gaming more efficient so ur vids are super helpful (I'm a busy college student so I can't spend too much time in Arknights so yeah)
This definitely sounds dumb but man I am actually more excited about Pepe skill 1 the most at a glance lol. Removing cc on a 5s cd seems really nice in some cases.
I feel like I'm in a position, with my 280 operators, where I don't have to adhere to meta anymore. I can clear 95% of content without using my brain and the really hard parts can usually be cleared with Mlynar. I feel like I want to get all the Abyssal Hunters and so I will. I feel like not getting any Sui operators and so I don't. Having enough cornerstones, I now have a freedom to not roll for any new operators at all.
12:00 didn't know there's Arknights x Chained together
Feels like with each new character they need to make enemies stronger which in turn just leaves the old ops more and more behind.
does Ascalon actually hits Air-Enemies? tested on Drones?
She doesn’t hit them on S2 but it slows them doen
I'm surprised. This one of the very few Arknights operators rankings that I completely agree. The number 1 and 2 are irreplaceable and the undisputed best units in the game. Logos and Wis'adel's banner is indeed the strongest banner in Arknights history. I doubt they will ever get powercrept.
I would rank Ulpianus above Narant and Nymph because his drawback practically doesn't exist, while bringing dph that can make Ray look like a joke while having a very unique&useful mechanic on s3. Not to mention he can afk duo trivialise many stages with Gladiia, including steam knight boss stage.
Is reed/executor getting a re-run soon on global? Or why are they on this list 😭
yes, pretty sure CN got reed alter rerun before Shu. not sure about Executor Alter tho
both will rerun.
Ulpianus with gladia n optionally spalter is easily top 3 though... and he was literally designed to be with at least gladia.
Ulpianus I got my eyes on you, I need OnoD on my team
No matter how op logos and wisadel are, I'll get Pepe if that is the last thing I do on earth
Tye downside of having every operator in the game is the burning need ro keep having every operator in the game
Not a whale in this game so i basically pull on limited operator and sometime a really good operator
With all respect, iam regret to say sory to namie sensei W is my favorite character and at the same iam F2P
Gladia:"Even though I'm free but without me, this team gonna be bullsh"
The way I see it, I'll be rolling for Logos and W'alter will show up anyway because that's how my luck works. I'll likely skip nymph but try to get the rest of the new ones if I can, I already have Reed and exec so no worries there.
I might want to start building executor then. I got him as off banner in the virtuosa event so I didn't think he's that good but this changed my mind.
After watching I conclude that Dorothy is amazing
