Future 6 Stars You Should Pull For | Arknights 

The best comparison I've seen people made for Gavial Alter vs Blaze is like how SilverAsh and Thorns are for Lord archetype.

Even if blaze and aligalter overlap on some situations, one of the things I think while using blaze is "I wish I had two of her".

I TOLD you if the comically large fork came into contact with the comically large spoon that the resulting S2 yell would level the facility, and Dorothy finally shows that I was right. 😅

SUPRE GOOD VIDEO :amiyafumo: 👍

another point I'd like to add for the pozyomka/schwarz comparison: pozyomka's typewriter is both her advantage and weakness. it makes her more versatile, but on maps where there are no good tiles for the typewriter she has less total damage than schwarz

After the SpAlter banner I'm definitely saving up for S̶u̶n̶d̶o̶w̶n̶e̶r̶ Gavial Alter. She's carried me as a Medic from the beginning all the way to now, so getting her is a must for me.

This is an example of a case when it is very easy to get lost in damage charts while trying to compare two operators, so I generally use this rule of thumb when comparing Schwarz and Pozyomka: 1.- If we don't include the typewriter, Schwarz will always win. Even Schwarz S2 beats out Pozyomka S3 while the latter is aiming at an enemy directly in front of her. This effectively means that Schwarz will always have the better range when alone - It's just a matter of choosing between S2 or S3. 2.- If we do include the typewriter attacking the same target, Pozyomka will always win before we reach around the 2000 def mark. The typewriter will always be available during her S3's burst window, totaling better ST damage than Schwarz. In conclusion: - Pozyomka is better at holding a single lane than Schwarz is. - She can also hold two lanes at the same time, albeit with a lower damage than Schwarz would do defending each one of them separately. - However, if you are required to hold different lanes at different times, Schwarz is better. Her redeployment time is a lot lower than Pozyomka's, and she still benefits the rest of the squad with her talent while on CD. This means that Pozyomka is better in "static" maps. If the main enemy wave constantly changes - Such as chapter 9 pillar maps, H8-3, or IW-EX-8, Schwarz will be better.

I appreciate the versatility of Pozyomka, i'd like to have her and Dorothy seems interesting

My soul and body are ready for Ebenholz, been saving since Ling banner, the sad conductor boy shall come home

I'm definitely going to pull for the awesome upcoming Vanguards... ...all 1 of them...

I want to get Ebenholz to finally build all of my Mystic casters

ebenholz is probably the most frustrating operator balance wise cause if he just maxed his stacks before attacking it would fix all his problems right now you have to hope the bosses arent sleep immune

As a user of Frost, I am both pained and excited about Dorothy.

Ah, so glad to see another ebenholz enjoyer, also love how you actually found a fair comparison to why schwarma is not comeplety powercreep by pink woman (although I think poziomka benefits more from warfarin's S2 than Skalter)

Definitely going for Ebenholz, his design is neat so is his e2 art. Plus, i really need him for LE event story for one "specific" reason, if you know you know Edit: put quotation marks on the wrong word, english is sometimes confusing kekw

I think this is the first time in a while I’ve something about Ebenholz that was pretty positive (also no Eyja comparisons! Maybe one day soon casters can escape that hell) Anyway I was already planning to pull for Ebenholz after Spalter but this vid made me consider going for Gavial as well

Thank you Yii for giving us yet another useful and entretaining vid.

Ooooh, the typography of the skill explanations, icons, and transitions really got the upgrade starting from the previous video. It's really way more pleasing to look at now.

Cool, thought provoking video! I think that I have decided to save and pull for Tyler “Fortnight” Ninja Blevins 👍

Man if only ebenholz s3 always stored the attack first before unleashing it he would be a true "boss killer" for sure

I'm going all in on Ebenholz myself and I'm happy you acknowledged some of his good points. Plus given Passenger I have enough copium that he'll eventually get buffed a bit to do his job better.

Shoot, honestly all of these operators seem very fun and interesting to use, especially Ebenholz and Pozyomka to me. It's gonna be rough saving for all these operators.

I will pull for młynar and młynar alone (and also ebenholz but still)

Thanks for the reference, as usual! Nice to see a relatively positive assessment of Ebenholz. I kind of wonder if Logos will show up as a 6 star caster and what unit type he'll be, since his description screamed Mystic Caster but Ebenholz focuses on killing Elite and Boss enemies ... Personally I'm skipping him admittedly lol. We don't get infinite orundum after all. I love Indigo for reference Great to her that Schwarz didn't get powercrept either. Would be *horrible* if HG blatantly creeps older ops. The whole point of this game revolves around unit kits after alll

Newer style of video? Oh Yii you shouldn’t have( nice video and thanks for the heads up for future ops)

13:32 this is the best part

Another banger from Yii

Wake up dear, Yii Arknights uploaded a new video

AHA! fellow borderlands enjoyer inb4 the invincible sisters of gavial the invincible

The catch with Pozy's S2 is that you can't use it if she don't have a target herself, wich IMO reduce the versatility her typewritter CD reduction provide.

POG EDITING MR YII ARKNIGHTS

New Yii video, neat

Irene's levitation can let dorothy slide traps directly underneath enemies!

I love you for making that gavial borderlands reference

Schwarz or Pozyomka is a question that can be answered with me finding the exact tile where an enemy can be speedran without external buffs basically both leads to really funny numbers but is hard to actually get working in a few cases

Watching this vid again, good to see how useful Pozy's typewritter being immune to debuffs can be on this Break the ice rerun lol, this thing almost solo'ed Degen.

I'm pulling for Pozyomka... because of her voice. Being voiced by the same VA who voiced LycoReco's Chisato helps.

I can read future that yii-senpai will make video about cantabile

Your pronunciation of Pozyomka is actually pretty spot on!

Gavial and Pozyomka are the best ones to pull out of the 4 of them, considering they are on the same banner, you're gonna need a lot of pulls unless you're super lucky. Both of them are also pretty strong but unfortunately even with their strength combined they still can't beat Goku.

This videos thumbnail is somehow very accurate to the current situation

In terms of all banners from this list Ebenholz is my top priority. He’s a husbando and in a way mini W with skill 2. I’d say this is his bread and butter. kill 3 seems meh, once charges are gone it’s questionable. However yes you can use sleepers to fix his charge thing. And priority on elite is interesting, I’ll probably m6

I’m going all in on Dorothy, she looks like such a fun operator.

Woo yeah ebenholz he's so cool woo give him now

You got Pozy's name right btw. Also with her addition Lupoknights is kinda cracked, just need a healer and you have basically the full squad.

Pozyomka sounds pretty interesting to get, and I do like her OST. Gavial is a must seeing as she was my first 4-star E2.

Im still set on aiming for irene and ebenholz and possibly gavial Eben is an op that i would have fun messing around with on all stages possible, and gavial alt because chainsaw wielders are cool

Yeah, Imma try for Позёмка and Gavial Who Had Enough

I'll go all in for Pozy

Im excited for the twist mr yii arknights will make for his 30k subs vid compared to his 20k subs vid

ebenholz really have a good taste, humu humu

Just saying pozykmka s3 deals a bunch of damage is probably not enough... Chalter might be a good reference point. The expected damage of chalter is 106320, while poz s3 is ~144000, and 120k when not directly at front (assuming everything is maxed outed) with 1.5+ times dps. (I know chalter targets multiple, but she does have one of the best damage even when targeting single enemy) Where she really shines is in Integrated Strategies, the typewriter itself can deal with most of 3rd level bosses and most elites, also she can kill the 5th level bosses without too much Relics. (ignore doges, enough damage for the lock, and typewriter could just re-deploy every 30s for Troupe Mouthpiece). And for gavial, the interesting part is that the S2 lasts 40s for every 35s cd. So imagine if you have another short cd long duration skill. (basically Unlimited duration)

I'm saving for Gavial invincible. I like her attire

All these operators look great, I'm pretty interested in Dorothy her kit seems interesting. I'm broke right now Namie got all my orundum in Goldenglow banner lol 😆, won't have much for specter alter.

gavialter (or gater lmao) and Pozyomka (ursusian wolf? you do you HG) dont outright powercreep operators that was already there meaning that finally, HG learnt how to balance operators for once, it's nice.

Yii, as a russian, I can say that your pozyomka pronunciation is good enough

cant believe they added two more schwarz into the game

I've seen Ebenholz S2 used for some fun stuff in IS2 but that's the only reason I'd pull him. The rest look fine but honestly nothing strikes me as hard as these last 6 months have. :pain:

Finding out Yii is also a classical music fan is the best thing I've heard of all day!

I waiting for Ulpian. Or more Abyssal/Aegir. Would Andreana Alter possible?

Ebenholz is machine translator, he is must pull and have

Gavial is just blaze but if you simply want to burst rush. While blaze is simply just don’t do anything and let the magic happen. Either way both are unique and still usable to some aspect. Hell just use gavial s2 and have blaze behind with s2 so gavial can pull enemies while blaze grinds them up as well. Absolute chainsaw win

Gaviel was everything and beyond what I expected specter alter to be.

yes i like to pull for stars, if we concatenate 69 supernovas that result in black holes and then we let their mass merge we should be able to pull up to 6 stars in the vicinity towards it

That thumbnail of Dorothy crying is so perfect

a yes dorothy

Gavial banner is a must pull, both the rate up is crazy

I actually forgot about Pozyomka and thought it's straight up Mlynar after Gavial Alter. Damn. Poz looks really neat for IS2 tho...

Are these... boss-killers... with us, in this room?..

Pozy theme so good

My orundums and tix are gonna cry with these consecutive banners :v

10:45 perfectly said

10:59 "LSD is a semi-synthetic hallucinogen", certainly one of the yii quotes of all time

I should not have laughed at Dorothy's spork as much as I did 😭

You actually pronouncing Pozyomka correctly, just with accent, you are fine my man

I want Dorothy because I find the trap master archetype super fun to play but I must save every pull I can for Gater and Pozyomka

Even though the editing looks clean, the mish mash style of clean text and animations on the skills section and the funni low effort on the introduction skit kinda makes the video less astetically consistant, I think it's best if you pick one style and stay consistent or find a good in-between, anyways, just some food for thought. Great video as always!

I have a bit of a problem with the Pozyomka section, not sure if I'm being too picky Arknights balancing have been kind of iffy recently, and Pozyomka exemplifies that greatly there have been a couple of double Archetypes Holder Coexisting peacefully such as [Thorns/Silverash] [Exia/Ash/Cheetos] [Angelina/Suzuran/"Gnosis"(to some extent)] but Pozyomka kit is so ridiculous in the scheme of things, because Schwarz niche wasn't dead/weak in the first place, far from that it excelled greatly when you needed that high single target burst, while Pozyomka also does it... but better 1. Schwarz does better against High defense enemies! A : While that is true, This is mostly misleading, because there's almost no enemies in the game [Story/Event] that have enough defense to actually make use of Schwarz High DPH to pierce their defense thus making her deal higher damage against said High Defense Enemies (Enemies need to have around 2K+ DEFENSE for Schwarz to actually start out DPSing Pozyomka "alone", which is an insanely High amount of DEF) exception being CC because they vary wildly 2. Schwarz has that unique range to still edge out A : While yes, Schwarz range is still highly effective and that +1 Tile do make a difference in some cases, this just disregards that Pozyomka have only 1 Tile less than Schwarz [4 vs 3 Tile Forward] BUT she still somehow holds the 3 Tiles to the left and right side for a total of 6 Tiles which quite frankly probably holds more value than exchanging 1 Tile, there's many maps where you use Schwarz S3 to kind of consistently burst snipe high threat enemies, but how many shots you're getting is once again dependent on the enemy being mostly in range ie them moving up/down from her straight line, making this skill (kind of) map dependent (kinda, not really, s3 is just strong lol) while Pozyomka doesn't suffer from this issue, and if it does become a range issue she just has an invincible summon to "extend" her range for some reason, this doesn't help the fact that Pozymka shoots Twice as fast than Schwarz does (not including Typerwriter) meaning the amount of shots being done effectively within range will be a lot higher 3. Schwarz Defense Reduce Talent? Nitpick : Pozyomka Typewriter whilst not having the chance to crit like Schwarz, in essence just holds the same amount of Defense reduction Schwarz has (Both are 20% Reduction if Pozyomka has max pot) but it also has a stronger reduction when in the 4 Adjacent tile from Pozyomka (25%), And all of TW attack inflicts the debuff while Schwarz needs her skill 3 to be active to Increase the chance to 100% 4. Typewriter! A : This is the most egregious part, her summon essentially doubles her damage whilst costing only 5DP, No Deployment Slot, is deployable anywhere in the map (of course it has to be ranged tile though), Invincible (Like Skadi Seaborn), Has the same range as Schwarz S3 (4 TILES FORWARD) when skill 3 is active. WHY? No "Non-Summon" deployable should be doing this much damage but somehow it does??? Conclusion, does this mean that Schwarz is bad or just worse than Pozyomka? no. because Schwarz was never bad, she was already good in the first place, With her Module she gives Snipers attack buff just by being in the Squad, She also now has a weird niche of Semi Fast Redeploy from her module, which honestly isn't bad (Ignoring that Typewriter is also a Fast Redeploy with 5 Second Faster Redeployment time and doesn't take up a deployment slot) Then why am I writing this all out? because whilst both of them seems to hold different niche and kits, they mostly do the same big red numbers as they are supposed to, but Pozyomka edges out in almost every scenario, which is alarming honestly "Just use them together, why are you comparing both of them in the first place?" you're clearly missing the point if you say this to previse this again, I still use Schwarz, she's a great unit to have and is really powerful, but Pozyomka is stepping on her toes a little bit too much, essentially doing the same Job but better, to basically just summarize it as "Both are good" is a little weird to me that's it, great video otherwise, love your vids Yii

God Pozyomka looks fun as hell. Hope i can get her with the free pulls

Dorothy is still nowhere to be seen god damn it

so what you're saying is that I can have 3 Schwarz targeting the same enemy? which banner is she in again and how long do I need to wait for her?

Funny music man looks cool so I'm pulling

14:00 great When she was released people were carzy and insisted she is definitely better than schwarz with no catch of course thinking of whole map poz give you more of possibility but for a high defence single target you can make more out of schwarz

That gavial skit reminds me of fakin techtone kek

Galter + Nian's plus 1 block count = +6 block count shenanigans and I'm all for it.

Gavial looks so much fun

ebenholz looks like male talulah and thats a win!

Guys i have a crush on yii's mic

0:18 YOU-

I'll pull few on the other ops but I'll use all my resources just to get Dorothy cause I'm a Rhine Lab ops -simp- user

No matter what, I will be getting dorothy xD.

honestly 4k arts dmg in 13 sp is pretty big tbh and its also aoe as well we just need to place a dollkeeper to stall the enemies so that eben can prep up the stacks

Want pozy. I do have schwarz but it didnt stop me to have second 6* high accuracy sniper. I mean pozy are fun to play with, she basically felt like bringing 2 sniper with only one operator and almost render april useless.

Well I am saving for my wife’s alter (Specter) and possibly use my leftovers for Dorothy (2nd wife) and maybe if I’m still alive Gavial Alter

What do you mean Mr. Yii? Gavial heals our soul by watching her mow down the enemies :D Also, I'm surprised that I haven't heard Sundowner's theme from MGRR coz of her title

There are so many Operators and so much orundum to spend 😩✌️

I just want Skalter.

0:18 i hate the fact that blue lobster immediately came to mind when that played

ebens 2nd module is currently bugged which doesn't help either

Ebenholz S3 is missing the fact that some normal enemies are either as dangerous or even more dangerous than Elite enemies, such as the Bladehelm Knights, the Armorless Union Cleanup Squad, Sea Terrors (in numbers), etc.
