e2 Helps significantly if you want Lunacub to be more than just a glorified ward in most cases. The module makes her s2 charge much quicker due to SP on attack, and the attackspeed from m3 is really good. Definitely recommend raising her, personally. She has been super fun to use in Is3 too.
@@miirico5398 If she kills an enemy she gets 8 seconds of camo yes. Any enemy she kills. Not enemies in her range, but she her self kills~ Since she targets lower defense stuff and has over 1k atk this isn't very hard for her to do along with the buffed ASPD.
@@miirico5398 Like Kukki showed, even at e1 she's useable. So hey if you have fun with her then dope. 5 stars are naturally cheaper to build than 6 stars too at least~ Cheers.
Small reminder that Lunacub has Camouflage, not Invisibility. Both of these effects make the unit untargetable, however, Camouflaged units will still take Splash damage.
This is the reason I'm following kukki, he has an uncanny ability to understand operators and explain their usages and abilities in a way that's easy to understand and use in my every day Arknighting. I'm smol imagination brain when it comes to Arknights and often don't see the clever ways of using operators that others do. So having kukki around to help get a grasp on them is incredibly helpful and enables me to understand and enjoy the game so much more
Her E2 is fantastic as it unlocks her module, as well as the ability to master her second skill. This amps the attack speed benefit of her S2, as well as her module just outright giving her attack speed. It also gives her SP each time her attack doesn't kill the enemy, so between S2M3 and MU3 she can cycle S2 appreciably faster than if you didn't do both of the above. Of course, only invest into her if you're gonna use her; but I highly, highly recommend it.
i wasn't planning on building lunacub since i have so many snipers for every situation already, but this convinced me to do it. that almost permanent camo looks very handy.
I just found these guides after getting back into the game and I love these! I've been playing since launch so I know *how* to play arknights. Wahts really interesting to me is seeing examples of how to use a variety of operators. I really enjoyed this video, its to the point and focuses on specific strategy and strengths and weakness of the operator. well done!
She is really great in my Abyssal team - I can place AH way more aggressively but sometimes they need bit of support, that's when Lunacub can work really well (April too but there is need to redeploy her from time to time).
Yep. I was on the fence before, but she's a must-build. Lunacub's perma-camo talent lets her bypass some irritating stage mechanics, and her kit is well-designed overall with a module in sync with her skills. Unfortunately, that does bump down Firewatch and April for my build priorities. Looking forward to taking all three of them on IS, however; let's see how Phantom likes a no-block stage clear 😂😂
While April also has camouflage like Lunacub, Firewatch's S1 gives her invisibility which is renders her immune to AoE splash dmg like Dorothy's vision boss or Invitation to Wine boss
I got her to E2 80 on the day the event started, and her module to level 3 as soon as she had enough trust for it but she doesn't have S2M3 yet because I've been too busy with mastering skills for Texas alter and Penance but she is definitely on my list. I was able to get something like 10+ copies of her when I did 300 pulls to spark Nearl alter. She was one of the operators I was excited about aside from Texas and Penance.
I ignored her when I got her since I just wanted to E2 Texas-alter and Vigil. Thanks for putting this video out. Went ahead and E2'd her as well. She is actually low-key really strong operator. Just like shown here the power to not be targeted by enemies is huge. I will definitely use her on IS modes. S2M3 is also a good idea, pairs really well with her module I noticed.
Of course ended up getting her to max potential in my Texas Alter rolls and she's been so fun to use in the event stages. Just place her wherever a lot of weaker enemies pass by and enjoy the free damage from her camo while the rest of the squad members can focus on the bigger threats. I've already E2'd her and she's almost to 100 trust for her module. I'm still working on masteries for other new operators though, so she'll have to wait for now.
This is basically what I did with her (as I mention in another comment), in my case I already have her module at max level but still working on other masteries so her S2M3 has to wait for a little bit longer.
I love building operators with cool niches like her, whisperain, quercus, ect.. and just completely forget about them when a chance to use the niches arrive.
Thank you for the guide kukkikaze! I got so many copies trying to pull for Texas (still trying) and got so many copies, she is already almost max. Thanks again for the guide and I wish everyone the best of luck!!
If lunacub came out 2 years earlier. She will be an easy OP operator or at least a game breaking support DPS. Her talent is too good to be ignore. However, this is the problem with AK. I can't see the functional of her with an old account or for the future stages. Many of the 4★ and 5★ are easily to be skipped. One of the reason are they are fighting for the squad position. I don't need to explain how cracked todays 6★ operator. Even we can complete most of the stage with only 2 fast redeployed operator. This is my main concern with AK as veteran player. We need more a strategy based stages. The one where its punish DPS focused squad. Something like "the eggs" from abyssal creature.
I really wish she had more presence in the story, but I’ll take my Mononoke-expy as is. I like the dead eye sniper archetype and has been thinking of E2 for Firewatch, but I think Lunacub will be firsr
I'll go build her at least at E1: she is too useful as strategy option in stage like the ones in the darkness, because where she looks is where Texalter and Surtr can land.
its unique but she fell pretty hard around the late game, the fact she gains no damage increase in her S2 makes her hard to kill anything and her S1 kinda throws away her niche, shes essentially a mook slayer
Early times I'm playing Arknight : "This operator is really niche.. But surely it will help me in the long run! " After one year+ playing Arknight : Only using meta and most broken 6* operator to brainlessly clear stage instead of struggling for hours using niche operators
I probably messed up now that I think about it... I promoted Andreana to e1 over Lunacub because I didn't read both of their e1 preview skills 😭 now idk if I should replace Andreana after all the efforts I did for her (I'm new to Arknights, just escaped another Gacha hell)
Basicaly u want her to be invisible 4 ever. No enemy will care except enemy scout that have scan range but those enemy are almost non existing outside chap 3 and cc. Also need 8 refined solvent to e2, thats a real pain in the ass when u dont have crafting recipe unlocked
Shouldn't have underestimated her due to being a 4*, now after knowing her Talent and Skill 2, I'm definitely building her. Funny and sad how I'm prioritizing her over Vigil. Plus, her module is extremely nice, practically having her SP Charge Type be both Per Second and Per Hit.
Yeah, it's a musical expressing meaning something along in a singing manner or songlike. It's a flowing, melodic feeling, like if the instrument was singing rather than playing.
Depends what u use it for, S3 for Killing Enemy with bulk Def/Res Stat S2 more comfy with good Skill Uptime and cost also does AOE dmg (3), it has good physical too to kill most enemy
Fun fact: Ofc lunacub S2 has the range, camouflage and ability to hit drones, but pure dmg wise tomimi s1 has more atk and atk speed. Edit: also Lin will mostly replace her niche, changing the ability to prevent getting targeted by enemies to just not giving a sh*t
Sorry but my take away is, Don't E2 her. Or at the very least you dont play her much different from E1 max or E2, damage is nice but save your resources for other ops that really rely on the dps.
Another comment mentions it but investing in her (s2m3 and module) actually makes her viable dps-wise allowing you to play her more aggressively. Otherwise you probably wont event want to activate her skill to keep her camouflaged. Of course she is not game changing but she has a niche that if you know how to use, can provide variety in gameplay and be very useful

Not to forget that she has the cutest onboarding line ever. Her english VA is lovely.
Her and Ceobe camping the canteen, Rhode Island become bankrupt after this 💀💀

Curious but her skill says if she killed an enemy she gains 8 sec camo, does that apply to every enemy kill?

Camoflage is infamously very inconsistent as to which attacks it doesn't protect against

On top of all that, Lunacub has great voicelines and great artwork!
Can't believe I've never thought of her as a permanent stealth april if I don't use her skill, thank you for this guide!

Her archetype prioritizes low-defense enemies, greatly easing the challenge of sustaining her camouflage while S2 is active.

Dayum, Kukki must’ve gotten his hands on Whisperain alter early or something ‘cause mine ain’t a defender(4:06)
Thanks, this guide was helpful to break down what Lunacub can do! I recommend doing Vigil and then Quartz next, keep up the good work.
Lunacub in a nutshell: "she's just standing there, menacingly!"
Lunacub is a mix between that and "Must've been the wind" meme (for the enemies, that is)
Great to see some talk of Lunacub!

Thank you Kukki, I inmediately wanted to use her when I got her and saw her design, but couldn't think of use cases for her. :)
I'll never get over how shafted she got in the operator trailer it skips past her crazy fast lol
bro called heavyrain whisperain 😭

First
Edit:
Haiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's Heavyrain, not Whisperain 😂😂😂
This very helpful
Thank you for the guide kukkikaze! I got so many copies trying to pull for Texas (still trying) and got so many copies, she is already almost max. Thanks again for the guide and I wish everyone the best of luck!!
My Luna is pot 7, my primo pouch is empty, and my Texas is nonexistent. I feel your pain!
Thanks for this. Might raise her eventually because I want to Lupo knights every now and then.
Lunacub: *you can't see me👋*
Personally plan to E2 her, I like her so much.
Yea, I tried Luna in IS2, with the ASPD and the Camouflage, she tears away the annoying Scarlet Dancers, especially in the normal ending of IS2

4:06 "Whisperain"
Heavyrain be like:
4:00 can't believe you did heavyrain so dirty
Glad I'm not the only one who thought about all the random game-breaking stuff you can do with a permanent camouflaged operator. :P
I thought this was supposed to be a video about Lunacub, but I don't see her!
I really wish she had more presence in the story, but I’ll take my Mononoke-expy as is. I like the dead eye sniper archetype and has been thinking of E2 for Firewatch, but I think Lunacub will be firsr
I'll go build her at least at E1: she is too useful as strategy option in stage like the ones in the darkness, because where she looks is where Texalter and Surtr can land.
I think firewatch is invincible, even that black fart can't one shot her. I remember someone using her.
Wow😮
4:05 Heavyrain, not Whisperain. :)
You've convinced me to build her!
Tho I'm wondering would Warf be able to use her S2 on her? Basically is she invisible to our Ops too?
its unique but she fell pretty hard around the late game, the fact she gains no damage increase in her S2 makes her hard to kill anything and her S1 kinda throws away her niche, shes essentially a mook slayer
Just use shamare s2 with her
I'm excited after getting her full pots, definitely gonna E2 her
I have her I thought she sucks but I haven't leveled her to e1 yet thx for info
She's pretty cool, but every time I do a draw on the Texas Alter banner I get her and now I have her Max Potential I am only slightly complaining.
Still believe in firewatch supremacy but sure, she look interesting
Early times I'm playing Arknight : "This operator is really niche.. But surely it will help me in the long run! "
After one year+ playing Arknight : Only using meta and most broken 6* operator to brainlessly clear stage instead of struggling for hours using niche operators
I got ger Full pot while pulling TexSalt and Penni... Yeah that's the sign that she's now my favourite child
I probably messed up now that I think about it... I promoted Andreana to e1 over Lunacub because I didn't read both of their e1 preview skills 😭 now idk if I should replace Andreana after all the efforts I did for her (I'm new to Arknights, just escaped another Gacha hell)
I have a love-hate for Lunacub, I like her design and gameplay but she was the only 5* on my 300 pulls...
Me reconsidering to build her for charging tower….wow
This is neat. I was planning on raising her anyways because she's cute.
Basicaly u want her to be invisible 4 ever. No enemy will care except enemy scout that have scan range but those enemy are almost non existing outside chap 3 and cc. Also need 8 refined solvent to e2, thats a real pain in the ass when u dont have crafting recipe unlocked
Did you just call Heavyrain “Whisperain”? 4:04
*cough, cough*rain :D
Imagine her skill 2 could be manually deactivated too, that would be even more insane lol
The Invisiwolf
She so cute and decent kit. Want to raise her but I have 5 six star on progress.
4:04 the enemy must be wondering who hit them since everyone turn to John Cena
4:05 Whisperain instead of Heavyrain haha
Would you guys like another arknights anime but better? What story would you guys like to see?
Too bad lvl 1 ops dont have any talents, she would have been pretty broken for my lvl 1 gaming runs :/
Shouldn't have underestimated her due to being a 4*, now after knowing her Talent and Skill 2, I'm definitely building her.
Funny and sad how I'm prioritizing her over Vigil.
Plus, her module is extremely nice, practically having her SP Charge Type be both Per Second and Per Hit.
She's a five star
5*
But she is 5* though
ooh my pot 5 lunacub can shine :D
Does S2 stack? Or do you need to kill one within every 7 seconds?
Ah yes whisperain the defender totally not heavyrain
I think lunacub better than firewatch, is not ?
April is jealous
Wait its kanta-bi-le all along? Not kanta-bayl?
Yeah, it's a musical expressing meaning something along in a singing manner or songlike. It's a flowing, melodic feeling, like if the instrument was singing rather than playing.
Does it also work with IS3 Chests?
I got 6 potential of her. Is she really that useful?
It's Arknights, it's up to you to decide how useful an operator is for you
is skill 2 for kal'tsit a better skill then skill 3 ??
Depends what u use it for, S3 for Killing Enemy with bulk Def/Res Stat
S2 more comfy with good Skill Uptime and cost also does AOE dmg (3), it has good physical too to kill most enemy
@@manyblock4192 ahhhh thanks

Good job comparing a 5 star to a 6 star
you didnt E2 lunacub is it not necessary?
Not really necessary, but E2 does help her performance since you'll gain access to masteries and module.
can u do some guide about IS3???
Sorry but my take away is, Don't E2 her. Or at the very least you dont play her much different from E1 max or E2, damage is nice but save your resources for other ops that really rely on the dps.
