Beginner Caster that NO ONE knows how strong she actually is 

I haven't done this in awhile, I'm sorry for my 'unexcited' voice. I'm also very nervous for no reason 🙈🙈

There is one gimmick that cater to IS enjoyer that, due to her unique class change function, Amiya can be recruit and promote with both caster and guard voucher, making her a pretty solid choice in IS mode.

And when the world needed him the most, he came back

She is one of the best st casters in terms of raw dps ive used but i get tired of changing her forms every single time i want to use either form of her

Man I feel bad for Castmiya, she is like someone on the cusp of greatness but justtt fell short of it. S2 synergize well with her talent and role but gets cucked by auto activation. S3 is pretty amazing boss killer but it gets cucked by mobs.

Very informative Amiya guide! It highlights a few details I hadn't thought of before. Her Pure Damage S3 was something I would've loved on Guide Ahead when I was a month into the game, but now that I have easier to use 'boss killer' units she got sidelined. Glad to realize she can fulfill some niche uses I don't have alternatives for at the moment. Thank you for the video, and glad to know you've returned from your hiatus!

LOOK WHOS BACK! Glad you making these analysis again and thx for the guide. i really like you give analysis to some underrated operators in the past!

Tbh, i wish they gave her a better targeting for her S3. I hate it when she shoot the trash mobs instead of the boss or dangerous elites

Welcome back, Dr. Nekogitsune ! Glad to see you again

Her S2 and S3 are both crazy powerful purely in terms of the stats and effects they give her, but in return they're really awkward to use thanks to heavy drawbacks and no initial charge at all. At least Amiya can generate a ton of SP on her own. Honestly I like her, even if I'm spoiled by the six star core casters.

Welcome back bro, good to see you again

Wow, really upped the quality with this. I had Amiya at E2 for a long time, but just started her masteries a week or so ago (Mudrock paused it for a moment for S2 M3, but Amiya is on track again) and I started with S2. Especially in IS with a few caster items Amiyas damage is actually bonkers and the perk that you can switch her to a guard is not be underestimated. I also use her as my atk on skill auto caster, as she is basically the only caster, apart from Stuart, that can work for that.

man really thought he could drop one the highest quality guides and think we wouldn't notice

Random Nekogitsune video being recommended on my feed :o Great video but I want to give a feedback, you probably need to consider mobile viewers especially when the game is a mobile game so try increasing some of the really small fonts used. Even on my monitor, some texts were barely readable so I can only imagine how much harder it is to read on mobile unless they are using a tablet or some big screen. I think you mentioned timestamps but you forgot to add them too.

Welcome back Neko :)

Of course they don't know. They don't read story. She downed 2 SkullCrushers, 1 FrostNova (with a bit of help), 1 Patriot (with a bit of heavy help), 1 angry possesed woman, 1 mind controlling snake, took 10 minutes of monologuing and then collapsed. But jokes aside, being the first Operator to have True damage is kind of awesome. Tanks were gone when I first started and adding Pramarix to shred defences was just extra icing

the editing done for the Possible Synergy List was so nicely done and I just wanted to point that out. It's so nicely done~ AMAZING

OMG WELCOME BACKK, legit got a heart attack at the notif ehe

Ayyyy he returned! Welcome back!

I don't have any 6 star single core caster , i use Amiya as my only caster.

Pairing amiya with lumen = she'll never be stunned

Her S1 does have a drawback in that her talent is not active during the SP lockdown of her skill. If she had an instant use skill with charges like Ceobe's S1, then she could have used her talent to its full potential. As for her S2, Whisperain and Skalter are the best support units as their S2s lead to a relatively reliable AFK damage/healing core. I still don't understand why low damage per hit is an issue when arts damage gets reduced by percentage of target's RES which doesn't get punished as hard as physical damage as it's reduced by a flat amount of target DEF. Newbies will find themselves in a bit of a bind as soon as they enter chapter 4 since they will encounter the most common enemy boss gimmick - revival. This problem further worsens at chapter 6 as the next most common enemy boss gimmick gets introduced - invincibility frames after revival. While these gimmicks are problematic for new players, I think it's a good opportunity to learn repositioning and lane holding since enemies still spawn even if the boss is still down or invincible. As such, her S3 is not as bad as people say it is.

You're back..... finally.

Woah huge appreciation for making a 20min vid on our best bunny girl. She is a great operator- just need creativity to implement her.

i love how you lay out the information on the screen, but damn those texts are smol

i always pick her up in is2 when farming points, she can fairly reliably kill the phantom boss and even comes promoted when picking both the guard or the caster instant promotion at the start

Her Caster module is a nice addition. +5sp when normal hit and +10 on enemy kills is just too good to pass on. You can spam s1 at a crazy amount of times (M3 recommended)

Glad to have you back! Honestly, the biggest issue with Amiya is probably her E0 and E1 performance. Before that sp talent kicks in, her skill recharge is rather weak. But as an M12 (Caster S2 just doesn't seem worth it to me lol) Amiya enjoyer, I'm glad you've given Amiya her fair shake. The boss killing S3 is formidable and shouldn't be overlooked even at SL7

Probably most newbies that are sleeping on her. (i hope I'm wrong) Like, bro, she's _our_ model child soldier. She *_IS_* that strong !

Big respect for the editing and overall effort/quality of this video! Lots of good information (especially toward newer players that probably don't have Surtr, Kal'tsit and other strong boss killers or pure damage sources) My only criticism would be that the video is a bit overly long relative to the information in it. You did quite a bit of repeating the same statements/points throughout the video and it generally felt a little padded, like this should have been 10-15 minutes max. That's just my opinion though, I found myself needing to skip ahead or put it on 2X speed a lot to get on with it to the next 'meaningful/new' part.

This video is fantastic, well edited and well planned. Only suggestion I have is changing the font during the pros/cons section, the thin and tall one? it's a bit hard to read, I'm not sure what would look good though 😔 I'm glad to see Amiya getting the spotlight she deserves, I wouldn't have beaten Patriot for months if it wasn't for Amiya's S3 :)

Don't worry to raise amiya coz we will get her sniper third form which is coming very soon after story ch 13 release copium

I noticed that the text for the skill descriptions can be pretty small and hard to read, especially if you aren't on a computer. Neat guide!

she is the only operator that i level up to level 80 so that she will always be the first one in the operator menu

Yeah, I can definitely say that Amiya's is underrated due to better units. Post-Endgame, I used her as my main caster for a long time until I got Eyja (because she is obviously more cracked and doesn't kill herself after skill use). A funny thing happened during the Code of Brawl rerun. I though that I equipped her s2m3 to break the arts shield and let me other units kill him. The skill taking long didn't mind me since I was used to that by now, until I saw that she had a manual icon 😂. It was her s3 instead, and it was actually able to kill the rat king because with true damage, you can ignore the arts shield. This is at level 7 btw. So yeah, definitely underrated, thought I wish her skills were not so expensive, even with her talent. It's annoying to have to wait a while for her s3 to be active, while Pozemka..., is Pozemka for example.

I use her guard for very often, she is cool

Ty for the video!

This is the first time I've had to go into no-border mode on youtube to read.

Heres hoping for a video like this on amiya's guard form too.

I feel like people know Amiya's strong, but as a unit everyone has she doesn't really feel that special imo. I haven't really ever needed her much since I like other casters, except in the Patriot and Talulah fights where she excels. And recently, I started building mastery for her s3 since she's quite good in IS. Imo, she suffers from being the centre of attention so much that some may want to choose something else. Nobody likes being pushed to have to do a specific thing in a specific way, and if I didn't have her e2 already I'd have groaned at having to e2 her for ch8. With her new module though, people will definitely be turning heads if they didn't before. Though I can't help but wish her stun on s2 could be negated with the module. Since she naturally gets stronger as you progress main story, would be nice to make her even stronger.

Problem with amiya is many things actually Her s3 easily gets distracted on trash mobs Her s2 dps is amazing but the stun hurts her annual usage Her s1 is amazing but is just a generic skill Her skill costs as ABYSSMAL and if she cant attack enemies she basically cant get enough sp wich hurst her a ton and sinde you would want to target her away from trash mobs in s3 usage it makes it hard to use I loved using her but her unpractical kit is annoying to work trough wich makes her guard form a blessing

For an account without a boss killer (except Utage if you can call her that), Amiya S3 is truly a godsend

Still use Amiya since my other strong caster is only Dusk. Amiya got better stats than most ST casters I have. Haven't pulled for Eyja since I'm saving for limited banners and my certs are reserved for Surtr.

man this has to be one of the best produced arknights video I've seen.

"Its been 3000 years"

Amiya is a excellent guard..... but when you finally got Surtr, you will never use her. Amiya is a excellent caster..... but when you finally got Eyjafjalla/Goldenglow, you'll never use her. Amiya is an excellent Pure damage user..... But Kal'tsit and the NTR knight are more reliable. that's why amiya isn't very popular, she is good in everything, but her drawback make other more reliable for the same task. 5* as Ptilopsis, specter, Lapluma,.... have a niche where even 6* can't replace them. That's not the case of Amiya.

@Nekogitsune Thank you for the video, you presented a clear case of both Amiya's pros and cons. I am one year old F2P player, have both E2 Kal'tsit and E2 Nearl the Radiant Knight for pure damage. I haven't completed chapter 8, and I am half way through chapter 10. What am I missing other than story/lore with chapter 8 incomplete?

Amiya is an interesting operator that is powerful at the beginning of the game, powerful as an accessible bosskiller and then she is often benched as an account matures and has access to more 6 star operators. However, I do feel like with the advent of the Integrated Strategies and even Stationary Security Service game modes - Amiya gets a breath of fresh air as her ability to swap between two different classes is invaluable and it's ultimately what got me to invest some mastery points into her. Since I mentioned IS, you're the first person I've noticed to recommend Pudding. Can you elaborate a bit more on her and other low-rarity operators in the context of IS and SSS?

first we have dreamy now we have neko? damn everyone coming back

you have no reason to edit this video way this good

Immediately had to check the video date since no mention of mylnar

She is my most often drafted Caster in IS2 because she is flexible as both a Caster and Guard, and has True Damage to get through Lucian's dodge.

"Nekogitsune... now where have I heard this name before?" _scrolls channel_ Oh damn welcome back

wow, its been a while since you've made an arknights video. welcome back

Me who still using Caster and Guard Amiya class until now: Wait who don't using our daughter -donke- rabbit?! Btw great video even tho someone already made that long time ago 👍

Amiya is my first E2 operator also the protagonist of Arknights. She is our lovely daughter in Arknights

as Amiya main Caster user, i approve

How HG stated game as F2P friendly :Amiya But I dont think Amiya is underated. Just ussual content creator doesn’t get the hype of promoting non gacha operator. On niche clear or low rarity guide, she is often used. Her S3 pure dmg with large range are realy good, also res on her guard form makes her kinda unique tanky. What I see on amiya’s kit are matching with the story quite nicely.

As someone who's account rules don't allow e2 6 stars, i end up using pretty much only 4 and 5 stars when it comes to bosses, i've lost count of how many times i've relied on amiya s3 Stultifera? Amiya Degenbrecher? Amiya Tide-hunt knight? Amiya she is incredibly valuable for my team

There's a mistake in 17:41 it says Silverash can reduce redeployment cost. Silverash reduces redeployment time, not cost.

I have Amiya S2M3 and S3M3 for no real reason lol welp now you gave me a reason

Okaeri, dokutah

Best donki

22:35 hello, whats the music here please?

my input as another m15 amiya owner: caster amiya s3 goes crazy, carried almost all my boss runs, s1 and s2 are meh to use, s1 is too weak and s2 is too inconsistent, they are quite niche guardmiya s1 goes insane too with huge dmg on skill and has arts dodge which makes her an amazing boss staller s2 is meh, one use per battle is very limiting

Amiya is literally the only operator with a potential to M15 on a single operator. Have a dual class and the first true damage operator. Moreover, she is free and you always got the max pot of her. Her talents give her every SP for each attack & even more when she kills enemy. Her mods give her further more free SP. There is no way she is balance even for 5★. You should be thankful to the dev that Amiya dont have AOE attack or high base attack. Otherwise she is not balance through and through.

The Advantages/Disadvantages part text is extremely small with a great amount of room to increase its size. Please do so in the future as reading it hurts my eyes.

If S3 was just permanent duration she'd be my favorite caster lol.

20:49 Wait, you're telling me that an operator who you can obtain my simply spending 225~ish sanity is harder to get than a character that is gacha/recruit only? That's horrible misinformation

I just want my F2P Ch'en

my take amiya(caster) S1 -> rubbish S2 -> there are better options S3 -> use kaltsit who has lesser drawbacks conclusion: but you still need to E2 her eventually to progress within the campaign so just use her and the expanded range in S3 make her useful for enemies with a large attack range in a circular fashion, especially against mandragora. so build her and use her mainly with S3 as a boss killer beause amiya is still very viable there where else her other skills - S2 is kind of still bad against high res which are the norm in later chapters and s1 is just pure rubbish.

sike i use her cuz i just have no other casters

oh right, true damage is bypassing almost all bullshit abilities

there is no need to invest in amiya, just E2 her in late game to get extra OP from chapter 8 and thats it, is not worth the trouble to use her, except if you want to handicap yourself by playing some weird form of nichenights or a challange

P r o m o s m 👀

No point in using Amiya. Not underrated at all.
