How to use Aak in 2022

[@bimchik]

Where is Skalter S2? It is the best option for buffiing def, cos it gives flat amount of def, 140 def at e2lv90 S2M3, Nian gives that much or more only if the target base def is 175 def or higher

[@bimchik]

considering buffing squishes ofc

[@Shijuu]

@@bimchik Not here because I put in S1 instead as _other_ things that can work -and frankly because I forgot it buffs def lol. I've gotten so used to using Nian to do these that I forgor-

[@Shijuu]

have a pin so people can see how stupid i am

[@gaelx3d674]

Skalter alone is enough to let "tanky" snipers like rosmontis survive aak

[@christianvannucci6455]

While that's true, if you wanna buff someone, you'll probably want to use the other skills to buff the DPS further

[@Team_Orchid]

Note that Aak S3M3 + Mizuki S2M3 lets the boy bind the 2 enemies with the lowest HP for 15 seconds straight and he's pretty likely to survive with his dodge. Carne S2M3 also works though can be tricky to position.

[@qurt5101]

- Mizuki module lets him bind 3 enemies
- Carne binds all enemies in range
fyi

[@sliv5034]

I haven't tried S2, but Aak and Zuki S3 deletes everything, pretty much

[@kyarumomochi5146]

Carne is much better lmao

[@Arcanilumia]

"Less likely to be targeted" is read as Negative Taunt in the game's math, to answer your question about a term for that

[@bakutie]

TY

[@vallar57]

In CN Bison with module buffs anyone's def, so he works as well

[@rayreiii3501]

actually shining with level 3 module + s3m3 can actually help ranged ops tank aak iirc

[@UltraSomeRandomDude]

Yeah but shining module hasn’t released in global and s3m3 alone isn’t enough

[@charginginprogresss]

2:49 W: "What do you mean it doesn't work? I'm alive, Dokutah"

[@Jimneban]

Stuck on step 1, I can't find aak in my ops list.

[@VistilShaiteth]

Have you tried support units? There's a 1% chance of encountering a wild Aak there

[@kappalock1339]

I thought this was a meme video, until I realize it's actually serious, and now I learn that I can use skadi alter s1 instead of e2m3 my shining (who robbed me off of goldenglow >:c)

[@Marconeon2114]

i got shining as my very first 6 star lol

[@Shadow6OO]

@Marconeon2114 Same here. Still awaiting her module and upgrades so I can boost the hell out of any ground unit's Def just by being in her range.

[@cyb9011]

Putting the patients through the most

[@kepalakuda226]

We need asian operator so it can immune to aak shot

[@mindfreez05]

i just eat durian this morning and my backend can feel the Aak's buffs

[@NikkiTheViolist]

Heidi probably also works
What I'm curious about, though, is if the "emergency heals" medics also help

[@sliv5034]

Heidi works, and provides a bit more def than Skalter (199 and +6%def vs 158). Her cooldown also matches Aak (unlike Shining).
Tuye S2 is too slow (even with around 300 def), not sure who else would count for emergency heals.

[@flaria185]

@@sliv5034 warfarin s1 is emergency heals, but you'd rather run s2 if you're planning to buff anyways

[@kyarumomochi5146]

@@sliv5034 Skalters def buff is already enough for 90% of the operators alongside a atk buff
And also her s1 practically makes everyone survive aak

[@sliv5034]

@@kyarumomochi5146 Haha, Skalter is probably the better investment, yes.
S1 only reduces half the damage, from what I read ? With 200 def, that's still 2k2 damage

[@kyarumomochi5146]

@@sliv5034 aak only deals 500 damage and skalter takes half of it
250 damage and the operator gets constantly regenerate
infact there is a video about this that shows that skalter allows EVERY operator to be aak buffed thanks to her s1

[@huynamvu3035]

Just use flametail s3 she will dodge all of aak hit but still can receive his buff without any other ops help

[@phoebecara4361]

Great! I already have Nian and Shining no Aak tho

[@Primal_Necrozma]

So i have aak, but not build, byt my dining is lv90 with skill 3 being max. But i don't have nian or any of the alternatives. So i just heal my unit to counter the damage or what?

[@bllehh]

holy shit that Spalter trick
if only I had Aak now as well....

[@dusty1717]

You can actually use Myrh's passive+ Shinning S3 :))

[@UserdVidas]

me who has Aak but not E2 S3M3 and has Shining E2 but not S3M2... Is it worth it ? Right I don't have Goldenglow

[@Shijuu]

GG is just the -victim- example here; you can use any other ranged op. And nah, Aak by himself is purely situational and you'd much rather use him with some ground op like Surtr or SA or sth
Also mine is M2 because I ditched her M3 midway, don't mind that lol

[@imtoolazyforaprofilepic4961]

If one Roberta shields worked on ranged

[@f2a_exe173]

Note: having piloptis allow you to use 2 Goldenglow S3 with aak buff because her skill is ready again before shining s3 runs out
(Using shining and skalter s2)

[@matsuato9415]

Skalter s2 works as well, cheers dokutahs !!

[@SillyGirlKisser74]

I got aak last week on a top operator tag
I was surprised you couldnt just buff Exu like everyone else on their youtube videos because, even at max level, Exu fucking dies.
would've been nicer to learn before I raised him to E2 :D

[@Lxxaa1234]

I tried using Skalter s3 with Shining s3 to help Firewatch survive the Aak buff but she died anyways.

[@Shadow6OO]

Dawg, Skalter's S3 only boosts attack. It doesn't do anything for hp or defense.

[@atesz2000]

Shining lvl 3 mod broken +100 normal def and + 40 to ground units make possible solo def buff

[@BenightedAlizar]

I saw Aak vent

[@Tohka47]

so, how about only Shining S3M3. Cuz nian, skalter are all limited... and most important, i dont have them :(

[@Shijuu]

Don't really need Shining if you're buffing ground ops. For ranged, you can try Bison or Heidi S2

[@Tohka47]

@@Shijuu like shining S3M3 with bison (dont have Heidi either... ) or just bison for ranged op

[@Shijuu]

@@Tohka47 Shining with Bison. You can get Heidi by doing ch10 too

[@Tohka47]

@@Shijuu okie, thanks bro

[@mythicalskeleton1546]

We have too many def buffers

[@naaat]

now use all the buffs together

[@lordent]

always make funny videos where somebody show how to use a situational operator for which you need to take two extra operators, on the map that can be completely passed by two operators, lol

[@WhiteFang103]

I have this ambition to Aak buff Ambriel using her S2M3 :D
A man can dream....

[@Jedex96]

Also Skalter S2 with Shining

[@obsiangravel]

Deepcolor S2

[@lll2676]

2:42 Negative taunt?

[@freezermeat1610]

Even Aak doesn't wanna fk around and find out when it comes to W

[@YanYanicantbelievethistakenffs]

Tuye on s1 also works.

[@Ragequit47]

what a goofy aah song you used here

[@Nazhir_rnn]

how to counter aak :)

[@untemperance]

"Less likely to be targeted" is called negative taunt.
