He came from FGO and Genshin... | Arknights Viewer Pulls 

The video is worth watching towards the end, skip to 19:12 if you don't wish to see the pulling session! Edit: I keep seeing comments about the featured viewer funding the anime, where's your part in funding the anime :(

"AK is literally free compared to FGO" TELL 'EM ALL HONEYDEW, TELL THE WHOLE WORLD

This summon session was crazy! I'm pretty sure this man single-handedly funded a 2nd season of the anime.

I want to thank this guy for funding the arknights anime. Hats off to him

Well he ain't wrong. In FGO, luck is the strongest commodity. A 1000 sqs could either give you everything you want and more or the worst possible scenario of getting nothing. That's how painful it is there. Edit: This guy is a beast wtf is this.

You can also see he started during Near Light and fell in love with the golden Pegasus girls base on his support units.

He joined in March 2022 and his level has already reached 120 in 9months, that is awesome.

Just realized how lucky I was getting Dusk and Nian on Ling's banner back to back

Big W for Kukki, Big L for Vifer 🤣

AK's gacha is one of the big gacha game that actually balance between luck and money to get what you want. FGO literally burned the player's money, their gacha rely on the luck/rng so bad. Genshin made luck the second option, with the guaranteed system/etc, spending is easier and preferable because you will get what you want as long as you spend those currencies (irl/in-game) AK has will reward luck especially in non-limited banners and reward spenders in the limited banners (because you can spark). Even if they don't reward luck in the non-limited banner players might be able to get it again on the standard rate up banner whereas the other two games forced the players to wait for the characters rate up again. AK's gacha is not "better" because they are more generous in the rate compared to the other games. It's how they balance between spending irl and rng luck, that is what I like. (Now where is my Irene, Hypergryph? 80 pulls and no Irene? Come on 😓) Edit 2: I GOT HER!!!!!

One benefit of being FGO players: we act like a tolerant saint outside of the gacha hell. We almost never question or bad mouth other gacha games that we play. Because almost every other gacha games out there look generous and reasonable to us lmao. We've already seen hell. So everything else are like a blessing from heaven for us. And if a whale escape or take a walk from it, they will be too OP for this world to stop

That original prime....omg. Legendary leviathan.

I mean, I remember Kanae (one of the biggest male Vtubers, from Nijisanji) pulling in Genshin and even throw in more pulls after he already max pot the banner 6 star (I think it was Zhong Li, there is absolutely no reason to pull after max potting a banner unit in Genshin), just throwing a comment that he still has more of his 10k 'allowance' for Genshin to throw at it anyway. Also, just to remind people, different people value money differently, I remember an interview with a businessman they asked why he spends thousands per month on games, and he just said that it was the cheaper alternative compared to what he would do otherwise.

When former FGO player decided to call Kukki for summon pulls instead of Vifer

Holy hell... how much originite primes was that in dollars? That man is an absolute beast that the term "whale" is not enough to describe him

He got 5 specters in less rolls than it took me to get 1.

2 different SSR NP5 servants (1 original + 4 duplicates summons x 2) in FGO were more costly for me than 201 operators in AK, with 38 - 6 stars operators. And I joined AK mid march this year... So the "AK is literally free" quote is soooo true.

AK is really free, cuz i got 15 6* (2 limited) in 4 months without spending. In FGO, I only got two 5* (both off rate and one of them is pretty useless) in half a year of playing (also i got one from free selector)

Love how he calls him honey casually lmao

Fun fact: An indie Vtuber also did the "get all the Limited" banner pull. Took her 570 pulls to get 3 out of 4 Limited, "refilled" Twice on the stream, she max potted Spalter, and spark W. ....and this same girl *apparently* pulled 1000 pulls for Phantom on his Joint Op banner. *There is MORE Leviathan out there, it seems. Cute Leviathan as well*

I think the reason AK feels "generous" or "F2P-friendly" is not because it gives you X free pulls or Y pity, because those numbers can always be inflated, but because it doesn't go out of its way to manufacture discontent. There is always something to do, some feature to enjoy, whether you're new, veteran, F2P, or whale. Out of sanity? You can play IS2 or the CC training maps, so you aren't too pressured to spend OP refreshing. Struggling with a stage? You can always try a different strategy, and be confident that it's possible with free units given by the game; there's no pressure to pay just so you can progress, and many events can't even be unga bunga'd through with meta units anyway, so there's even less incentive. Didn't get a character on their release banner? They'll get other rate-ups, enter the gold certificate shop, or spook you later. Didn't have time to play an event? It'll rerun or get archived. There's still some degree of FOMO, unavoidable in this industry (sigh), but AK actually seems to be trying to minimise it, and I have felt far less stifled/frustrated/anxious without spending compared to some other service-based games I've tried. Then, if you do want to pay some money into the game, you'll find a selection of packs that are genuinely good value and feel rewarding to purchase - like you're getting your money's worth in enjoyment/entertainment value - unlike some gachas that are so stingy with the packs you feel like you're just throwing your money away. Like you guys touched on in the video, it's rewarding to just spend a few dollars a month, and it's also rewarding to spend hundreds. There's still some majorly noticeable downsides, like the lack of character guarantee being very punishing for collectors who want to get All The Units, and some QOL drawbacks like obfuscated enemy/event mechanics, so it's not a perfect game, but I have found the overall experience to be satisfying and easy to scale based on how much time you want to commit to the game (so it can be played casually OR as a main game), and on top of that just being plain Fun and Pretty. Kukki, you always describe AK as a sandbox-y game, and it's honestly true; ask people what the "endgame" is in AK and it's usually "when you can already beat all the stages so you have to start thinking up ways to make the game harder". That's definitely one of its strengths, as being so open-ended allows for a smoother and more customisable experience, where it's equally fun/rewarding whether you don't spend a cent or whether you sink thousands of dollars into the game.

This guy is ready for every single upcoming Limited, and past Limited as well Good time too, there is a special Limited banner (different from Gavial Alter) featuring all the limited so far *He'll get them. He'll get them all* *ALL HAIL THE LEVIATHAN*

this was wild! but it's super interesting to see this person's approach to playing the game - i'm fascinated that there are no max level units and no potentials for 5 and 6*s, that's a cool self-limitation. you're so thoughtful to interview this player kukki XD

thank you for funding the season 2 of the anime

I'm loving this one! I need to start watching more of your streams.

This man is like a saint "I don't activate pots" WTF

Jaw dropping at the end... And ur streamer luck is INSANE!

18:42 honey moment 🤣

Must feel so good, just click it without even think about the future

I was there and damn!!!!!! this mans acc was something else

Remind me to give some thanks to Bawks for making the anime possible by himself.

As much as I love FGO AK is really generous on stuffs and it just encourage me to save orundums to obtain the 6star that I plan to get limited or not, and you can get the other 6star ops through recruitment and cert shop anyways so its very f2p friendly imo since even low rarity ones are pretty useful and carry your ass. I think if I'll have the money to whale on a gacha I'll choose AK than any other gachas as its pretty much a win-win when gachaing in AK imo.

What makes this roll amazing and me envious, is the lack of off banner pulls. I nearly had to spark Skadi Alter I was off by about 10 rolls before getting her and I ended up getting pot 5 Kal on that banner. I actually had to spark Chen Alter because the game kept giving me off banner spooks and a pot 2 Mizuki.

this banner actually gave me regular skadi when i wanted skalter just to spite me

This guy funded the anime!!!

Thanks to people like this supporting the game

To be able to have the peace of mind knowing you can spend this much on a videogame in general...IT MUST BE NIIIIIIICE!!! I'M TRYNA BE LIKE YOU, MY BOY!!

The gacha in this game is really nice for the ones that can consistently win the 50/50 otherwise it's super frustrating getting off-rate over and over again lol.

15:37 dude just said he can just top off later if the stash gets too low

I didn't know about the Sanity potion's buff thats pretty awesome.

I been watching this with my mouth open the whole time, wow that's a leviathan

I still hold that FGO has one of the most, if not the most, brutal gacha.

"welcome to the poseidon club" -blacknorton & rizkx

Man suddenly I feel super lucky, I got rosmontis, spalter, and irene in less than a hundred rolls.

First streamer to thank sub for donating the summons for stream, respect ✊🏽

This shit's fucking unhinged holy shit, sasuga FGO leviathan

Yea you're right, I love collecting everyone, it's nice to enjoy the game while having everyone do countless strats! I'm not a die hard spender like this guy but I did spent a good amount of money for sure ($2.3k+ over the 3 years of playing)! Man if I was rich I wouldn't had problem buying 3k OP in one go at least.

Blacknorthen:" Finally a worthy opponent, our spending will be legendary"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As an FGO player for almost 5 years, I can confirm that AK feels free even if you whale compared to FGO

thanks for supporting ARKNIGHTS Dr.Bawks

Swetest and most heartwarming pulls ive ever seen

Man's a fellow Nearl Clan appreciator

My man is a Kazimierz enjoyer

He is a man of focus commitment and shill will

Got them both after just 30 roll whale not only rich they also lucky as hell They are clearest example for : world is not fair

Someone said 10% Fgo bucket went to AK when in reality he’s a part of the Mega leviathan fleet

the hardest part of ak for him is probably explaining to the bank all the time that he's not been hacked haha

I got spalter, rosmonstis, and a W dupe (I got her originally when getting Nearl). I'm also gonna spark skalter so I got what this person wanted in 300 pulls

Whale giving a taste of gambling to Kuki.

thanks for this leviathan funding on AK anime

1:40 They've got a point. I whale/leviathan in other gacha games and AK is significantly cheaper to max things in compared to other gacha's I've played, especially compared to FGO. It's very f2p/whale friendly.

Its a goddamn LEVIATHAN!

26:00 That onboard voice lines from skadi alter, made me think back to Skadi. That how skadi alter might actually be real, and not from different timeline as many believed. I think it's just that the timeline is confusing, which is why many doctors think it is not real timeline skadi. Her onboard lines might actually be the final ending for Skadi (After the whole Seaborn is solved), and perhaps far2 in the future. She says "Waiting for doctor" "Far too long" This does not match any point of Skadi storyline as far as CN and EN had known, which made the point. Why is she waiting and how long exactly? Where is "here"? Definitely not at RhodesIsland since the Doctor had to go and meet her. It somehow reminds me of a scene from war stories, where the heroine waited for hero to return from wars, in the final scene where they are finally reunited (After the war is over).

I got 2 skadi alters from free single pulls and my very last pull before the banner ended was one. So now I have pot 3 skalter. Pretty happy with that.

that feeling when this person got 3 6 stars in 40 pulls 2 being irene and specter alter and it took me 180 to get my first specter alter with 2 irene from the rest of the 180, gacha is something else, also kinda painful seeing all those potentials for 5 and 6 stars not being used lmfao.

FGO is true pain, the man knows what’s up

1:45 legend

Watching this made me die inside. I got spalter on my 310th pull but had pot 5 irene.

Spending can be satisfying but I learned that the more you spend the shorter is your enjoyment of the game. The anticipation and excitement when slowly working towards a goal is like waiting for Christmas. Every game where I overspent it became nothing more than a checklist, almost a chore to continue playing.

this person is funding the ak anime

NOBODY EXPECTS THE IRENE INQUISITION!

my man is sweating with excitement, we found a freaking leviathan here

I think you can just convert the pots to yellow cert, and they'll won't consume the pots material up until you've enough for pot 6

Watching people pull kinda satisfy my gacha craving lol

Holy shit this guy might just beat thelostone and black norton

Freaking mad lad, dude just sponsored the second season of the anime.

This dude is like the oceans of all planets in the solar system

reading all shit commets of fgo/genshin players arguing whos better made me laugh so hard ngl. i play arknights, fgo and genshin and enjoy all of them each in my own way

FACT: Ak is one of the few live service games that where the gap between F2P players and paying players isn't immediately noticeable as there's very little that is paywalled. Skins, even those with L2D, special VFX and new voicelines can be obtained just by playing a few missions for some OP, there's no battlepass to miss out anything from skins or furniture or icons etc. Duplicates aren't significant power spikes for 99% of players and cases so there's barely any pressure to get multiple copies of a unit. They literally give out the ultra-premium currency freely for every new stage you play along with a sprinkle here and there from login events and stuff. Few gachas feel as comfy as Ak's economy imho. Their generosity is why it's the only gacha I've spent in so far. It feels so worth it even if I only spent a little but even aside from the game, they constantly churn out banger music, got a solid anime so far, have a few mangas too. This is...the Golden Age. w(ﾟДﾟ)w

Damn 7.5k OP, this is the biggest amount I ever seen

FGO, Genshin, Arknights is the only gacha games that i played. i'm a spender too as well but still have my brain intact which means i'm still far from being leviathan. and ngl Arknights is (if not) the most generous and incredible gacha games out there and balance. what i mean by incredible is from whole aspects such as character design, character rarities like there are 6 star and 5 star and regardless the rarity even you still can beat difficult stages with 4 star only BUT it requires huge IQ, THE MUSIC!, the gacha and on top of that, the stories. ohh.. and the community. i love arknights fandom there are so creative and less toxic in fact i rarely or almost never see any toxicity from AK players. the one that i love was the 'Hyperseggsualization' that once went viral. i love how the entire community are gathered to defend the game.

as a long time fgo player (and i guess by now long time Arknights player as well), Arknights really is generous and free, even then summon rates feel a lot higher than in fgo

i spent around 1500 in total since AK starts. i have all the 6 star operator. the only operator that i dont have right now is iris, for some reason he keeps evading me. some of the 6 stars pot 3-4. bagpipe and hoshi is full pot. AK is quite generous compared to other gacha, of course its still a game that tries to make money out of you but compared to the others its a saint.

Wtf holy shit man That guy needs to talk to the community

I've been playing FGO for almost 5 years now. Haven't spent a single penny on the game because money isn't the roll currency, luck is. You could have enough for only one roll and you'd get the rate up and you could also have 1000 pulls.and not get a single SSR. AK is the first gacha game I've spent money on, and I don't regret it one bit.

Agreed to what the dude said.

this guy helped fund the ak anime

Thank you for funding the anime, Honeydrewbox 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Goddamn I played AK in March this year and he is already at 120 lvl while I'm at 85 still

Bro funded the whole anime

He really almost got a max pot in 300 pulls and I've had to spark for the limited unit thrice already just to get 1 copy.

Man I'm starting to think I was lucky. I went into this to get all limited and in 300 pulls I got 11 6*, pot 3 Irene and Spectr, then also W and Skadi and I bought Rosmantis. I'm so glad I didn't have to go this far. But yeah as a Fgo player ak rates feel decent.

This makes me feel like pot 3ing W sub 300 was INCREDIBLY lucky. Didn't pull a single altSpecter though. I did get two Irene's as well.

it's ok, he can still convert 4*s pot for yellow cert and get more from gacha also did he already know that R6 won't get rerun??

Jesus!!!! We got a JORMUNGANDR in AK 🤣🤣🤣

Lmao their situation is similar to mine. He is right. FGO makes it so it isn't worth to spend at all. Because unless its a guaranteed banner luck is literally all you have.. pity pretty much doesnt exist and even some of the veteran player base doesnt want to make shit easier on themselves by asking for it lmao. Like asian parents wanting shit to be hard on you cuz it was hard on them. But Genshin's gacha is more comparable to AK. I will say AK is more generous in terms of giving you a larger amount of the highest rarity characters but not when you want one particular operator (genshin is more generous in that part). Its a little tough because sometimes you get a character who's play style or kit or design that doesnt appeal to you. I feel like its quite expensive to level them up as a new player so it felt pretty bad.. but after a while i do think it gets easier.

He doesn't need money,money need him 🤣

I'm just happy i pulled one Specter

I now feel thankful I got all 4 limited in 200 pulls.

As someone who plays FGO and ARK I 100% agree
