    When watching this episode, from 10:18 to 27:54, I recommend that you hold up your phone or be on your emulator to use the video as a checklist for your account. That way you'll be a lot more engaged by comparing the video against your account.
    This will be the longest episode of the Arkpedia series (30 whopping minutes!). Subsequent episodes will be down to less than or around 10 minutes each for easier watching. Thanks to my editor, Pepp, again for working on this video with me for the past TWO MONTHS to make this come true.

      Kukki, i think you should add note for Kal. Her healing priority is herself then Mont3r after that other operator, this priority is different from other medic (Gavial in your video for example, she heal surtr 1st before taking 2 hits to start healing herself).

      @@kukkikaze i think you misunderstood me. i agree with your suggestion/opinion that kal can be single target healer. What i'm trying to say is if possible, add small note about Kal have different healing priority since this video is meant for new players who probably doesn't read operators talent or read it and then forget about it or just follow video a bit blindly. Let me share my experience, once i tried using kal as Sole healer, no Mon2 deployed and her target is only 1 operator, kinda forgot who. Then come wave with several range enemy along with some hard hitter. the range can hit kal and at the same time the hard hitter hit the tank. Long story short, the tank died XD cuz Kal keep healing herself.
      TLDR: For Kal positioning (and deployment order) on some stage matter more other medic

      4☆ recommendations for IS:

      On a side note, it is important to remember that, regardless of rarity, the difference between a skill at r7 and a skill at m3 is day and night so you should always try to aim for masteries once you think you got enough elite 2 operators.

    Im thouroughly impressed by this video, i honestly want to thank you. I answer questions for beginners on the subreddit almost every day, a lot of questions, and ive seen the same things quite a lot. your opening to this video from second one to the rainbow6 characters anaology is so perfect a mindset and ethos to bring into this game and im so happy to see someone else sharing that kind of attitude to new players. This is a really really deep game, with a huge breath of content to cover, teach, mentor, and provide insight on. Seeing lots of new players fall into the clear-guide dependancy hole, and not really know how to take full reigns of the game and its mechanical depth for themself has always pained me, and ive wanted to do a video series just like this myself, covering things from your first squad, the importance of dp and deployment order, all the way to splitboxing tutorials or how to approach creating a low-op challenge team for a stage. Im limited in my means to do so (only a phone, no pc) so im genuinly happy, relieved even, to see a big member of our community starting something that looks to be very much the same if not identical to my idea. genuinly thank you so much, loved the video, i agreed with all your major points and i think the foundational branch concept was a great way to approach such a daunting topic. I know im just a random viewer, but since ive wanted to do this kind of series myself, if you ever wanted another person to bounce ideas or writing off of, id be happy to help. I usually do low-op cc challenge videos, so i think ive got a good grasp on the technical depth of the game, and really understand how every operator can find their best day in the sun with a proper doctor behind them. fantastic job and looking foward to more from this series☆

    This video is phenomenal beyond words! I can definitely imagine my early player self eating this advice up.
    I will say, though - I'd argue that the Hexer archetype can also be quite useful to new Doctors due to Hexers being a source of Arts damage and having the widest range in the game at five tiles, making them flexible and reliable.
    Granted, there are currently only three hexers (Gnosis, Shamare, Pramanix), and they may not be a 'necessity' due to their scarcity and higher rarities, however I feel like they at least deserved an honorable mention. All three are great in their own rights and would definitely give much support to newer Doctors.
    • Gnosis is one of if not the best crowd-control dealer that amplifies allies' damage and stops enemies completely in their tracks.
    • Shamare has huge ATK and DEF debuffs and both of her skills are viable for usage. She's very friendly towards new players in terms of difficulty usage.
    • Pramanix applies large DEF, RES and ASPD debuffs which helps new players to dish out and tank more damage - and she can attack two enemies at once at E2!
    I'd also like to mention that Kafka is a very new player friendly Executor, second only to Gravel; Kafka requires absolutely zero investment (and I mean *zero*, many recommends to just have her at E0 LVL. 50 for lower DP costs), and her burst of Arts damage alongside with the Sleep debuff can really help out new players in a pinch.
    I would bring up Ayerscarpe and the fact that he has more controllable and higher overall DPS than Lappland, however her Silence debuff is without a doubt an amazing addition that pushes him off the edge.
    I'd also mention that Wandering Medics have great merit - the Berries in particular - due to their wide healing range and their future relevance in later chapters due to Elemental Damage.
    Besides that, though, I agree with all the things you've said so far! Great job, Kukki!

  • @teppieteptep
    @teppieteptep 2 года назад +8

    Very comprehensive guide! It's good to see that you emphasize on operator roles (branches); a lot of new players tend to overlook that you actually have to build an entire SQUAD at the start.
    I also agree on "build whoever you want AFTER the foundation squad." As a 2-year (level 119) player, I still build and use some lower rarity operators over 6-stars just for fun.

  • @ronniejohn6055
    @ronniejohn6055 2 года назад +8

    I was contemplating with the exact same problem as well when guiding my friend who just started playing Arknights.
    What if he doesn't like this or that operator? Or simply tell them to build bunch of 3* operators actually doesn't solve the problem.
    Again, Arknights not only tower defense game but resource management game as well. So having an actual direction on resource investment actually very helpful. Yet still build and play your waifu/husbando or whoever you want, your enjoyment is top priority.
    And in the end the only advice i gave to them is "if you are f2p, just never use your originium to recharge stamina or buy furniture, just like what i did when i was green" 😂😂😂

I didn’t listen since I was a newb and I liked the idea of bringing my 6 stars in stages. Mudrock has carried me since I started and I bring her to almost every stage since. The only other defender that I built at the time was like bubble and spot. So yeh mudrock was like my main defender for a very long time.

    I wanted to say that even as a 2yr+ veteran to the game, I still enjoyed listening to this. I feel the information will be useful and would recommend any new player to give it a listen and then ask questions after.
    I do have a few minor disagreent with some operator recommendations / ratings but that is more of an opinion than fact and feel the overall accuracy is on point of your selection.
    The editting for a video of this size is great and I commend all involved in the editting process :)
    Good work!

    Even though Yato is a Pioneer vanguard, for early players it's worth including her in the Executor branch discussion. I didn't realize how much her role changed after unlocking her talent and ignored her since she's a 2 star. Makes a very good early 2nd Fast-Redeploy, at least until you unlock Project Red or someone else.

    Since I'm worried people will look at this and think 'build'='E2 this' (altho I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean.)
    I find it curious that you included standard bearer and arts fighters as foundation since these 2 weren't even around when the game started. Don't get me wrong I still agree with it, just kinda funny.

    Wonderful guide. I appreciated the approach of putting more choice into each players' hands. I think it is worth stressing even more than Kukkikaze did, you don't need to build all high rarity operators. Early in the game, picking some low to mid rarity operators pointed out in this guide can make progression easier. And the lower rarity operators pointed in this guide do scale well into end game.

    thing with the dreadnaught branch is this is probably the first branch that you would fully replace with a different branch. Usually a Musha or arts fighter would be a superior replacement. However, it is reccomended to build melantha as a low investment until you get units of the alternate branches. As where DP generating is a problem, Melantha's low DP can still come in clutch in some cases. but is skippable if you already rolled into an arts fighter or musha guard. (NTR is limited so may not be an option to everyone)
    also, Lava 3* might be one of the units that you'd get the longest use out of, as she beats out all the 4* alternatives because of her high initial SP on deployment, allowing her to be a deployed at more flexible timings, which is an issue for other AOE casters cause of their high DP cost and SP cost, and well, 4* shirayuki S2 kind of makes any other AOE casters less relevant. (While Dusk is the best representation of what this branch needs, she is limited.)

    Nice video. I'm glad that I built the right operators when I started a year ago. I use the Arknights tier lists in gamepress and RUclipsr's suggestion when I build my first squad.
    Another tip for new players, don't hesitate to build 3 star operators like Melantha, Kroos and Steward. They are super cheap to promote compared to their high rarity counterpart and are viable during the early to mid game. Promoting them to Elite 1 only cost few LMDs with no material requirements.

  • @hariskarvounis

    Revisited this video series to compare the info from my 4 moth experience.
    This video is GOLD! and the information 100% correct.
    I was amazed on how often I have been defaulting into those class types even tho i got more variety.
    I would like to recommend two extra sub-classes for new accounts.
    1)The mech-accord caster Click who gives you STUN! extendeed range and BIG dmg.
    2)The instructor guard Dobermann who is godtier early game buffing the dmg of starting 3*squad
    and having great combos with Melantha or Popukar to lanehold like a boss early game.
    Amazing job on the video as always Kukkikaze♥

  • @MiseryRG
    @MiseryRG 2 года назад +2

    Excellent video covering great tips!
    While having long passed the stage of beginner; it was still highly interesting to watch and compare this to how I ended up going about building my squads.
    I must say I followed a similar path of having several operators per class, per branch.
    Though I didn't just stick to the main branches you covered but simply all of them.
    To this day, i'm still building several operators just to have a branch option ready to go.
    Still missing a Deadeye sniper despite being spoiled for choice...
    I build operators for their meta mechanics cause I was lucky enough to get them (ex. Surtr, SilverAsh, Chalter)
    I build operators for their fun mechanics cause I wanted to (ex. Robin, Saileach, Bena)
    I build operators for their late game mechanics as I'm starting to venture down this path (ex. Scene, Shamare, Pramanix)
    I even build an operator for her ability to always end up saving my runs ( Silence, Bless you and your S2M3)
    And I build operators for their looks and really what other reason is there (ex. Iris, Toddifons, Mizuki)
    On a side note: La Pluma is the default E2 operator you build for all the reasons listed above; don't question this, just... do it...
    She will reap through your squads if you own her but don't build her.

    I just returned to Arknights when Vigilo was about to end I was struggling at first but was able to find yours and other AK content creators through watching to make my account alive again.
    Now I'm happy despite that I missed a lot of events especially the Dossoles Holiday but I have to move on and focus what I can do now.

    • @kukkikaze

      I am perfectly okay with the Kaltsit recommendation because I have asked for two single-target medics to be built. If it was one, I wouldn't have recommended Kaltsit. You can use her as a typical medic if you do not deploy MON3TR.

    Like you had said, Kukki. I don't really give any advice to any newcomers on which ops they should build or which skin they should buy. It is completely up to the player themselves. So let's say there's one newbie who says "I want to build Deepcolor than Utage", even though the latter is more reliable than then former. I'll still allow them to build Deepcolor because they like her.
    The whole game is completely up to the player. Whether they want to cheese through levels (Meta) or go up for a challenge and use lower rarities in difficult stages. And that is fine to them. There are no restrictions. You are free to do WHATEVER you want.
    Though just a heads up to those that are main story enjoyers. You need to E2 Amiya for chapter 8. Otherwise you can't progress.
    Btw 7:26. Tachanka sure has huge assets with that armor of his.
    Anyways, that's all i can say for this video. Thank you, Kukki for doing your part in the community and trying to help the newcomers to know more about the game.
