I Played Arknights And... 

I'm looking into Azur Lane next...

Only 10%? Based percent.

You should keep playing, the game gets a lot more challenging as you go. Do it for Durin!

"Why is she so sad and how do we fix it?" thats the neat part, ya don't. Also the reason Durin is so sleepy is cause she's narcoleptic.

Game looks fun. Keep playing. I’ve never seen it before

"Putting level into amiya might be terrible" huh, you actually done it the other way around, she's good, and you do want her to be leveled up

Glad to see you're enjoying your time wit the game, you're in for quite the ride. So let me give a few tips for a new player though from what you said First: Leveling up Amiya (bunny girl in the big jacket) is not only a great idea but also required. Shes the main character of the story aside from yourself and an incredibly strong unit, with some levels being locked off if shes not leveled enough. Second: When you were looking though the support units you were only seeing one class of character, Vanguards, which are good for getting more deployment points. Click the little icons on the left in the support menu and you can see a lot of other supports, enjoying the characters and outfits is one of the best parts of the game sometimes. Third: I fully get the urge to skip story and/or tutorials, especially since at first things seem really simple, but I would advise against that since things can get really complex really quickly. You're only playing the early tutorial levels now, but every event and most later story chapters all have completely unique gimmicks and mechanics that you can't easily intuit. I'm not even kidding one of the literally required you to build and modify a dune buggy that you could unleash onto the field and control via placeable arrow markers. The story itself too is rather deep and complex, very easy to get lost in without paying attention. Fourth: One thing about Arknights I appreciate above most other gachas is that events are almost never gone forever, All of the event stories are usually important and playing back into the bigger world or plot, like the eldritch horrors of Iberia or cognito hazards of Sami. So if you do choose to stick with the game you have access not only to the main story, but most every single event story, and side story, in the game. Not to mention a built in roguelite mode, and survival base building mode, both of which ALSO have story that plays into things. When I say this game is massive it is not an overstatement Fifth: So about rarity, you are not exactly wrong that in most cases the higher rarity units are better than the lower ones. However something too note isthat the lower level ones are much MUCH cheaper to build and max out. One and two stars cant even be promoted for example, compared to 3 stars that can be promoted once, and 4-6 stars get two promotions. But many of the lower rarity units actually have unique abilities that you can leverage. For example if you level up Durin some, she gets a 50% dodge chance against any form of magic attack. No other character can do this, making her valuable in certain situations. On the surface Arknights is a tower defense game, but in practice its a strategy game built around what resources you have and how you use them. The game is fully designed that most of it can be beaten with low rarity units. All in all, I love this game, world, and story. I dunno if you'll actually read all this, but if you do I hope that you can come to appreciate this game as well. As well as its music. I do seriously recommend looking up some of the Arknights music and animations for reactions, its quite worth it. A good starting point would be the 2024 commemoration PV, it is an absolute amazing piece of art.

Well to be honest just enjoy the game. It's quite challening down the road. My Recommendation is: maybe infest in your 3 star characters early. Yes higher Star characters are generally stronger but also cost way more to upgrade. So lower Star Characters are cheaper to upgrade so i recommend getting a good base line with your 3 Stars. Otherwise it is basicly try out and succeed in this game. Its not easy later down the road.

Welcome to post apocalyptic depression

Dont worry, the Arknights community loves watching new players experience Arknights blind.

The characters just basically 'choose' a codename. But every character has a real name too. (Sometimes they choose their own name) Ash is good but not exactly 'meta' Jessica is great, her alter is amazing btw (Jessica the Liberated) Texas is an ex mafia wolf and those are her swords. Having an aoe for that 9th stage wouldve helped. (Gitano works) Putting exp into amiya is great tbh shes both needed later and very good early. Besides all those tips if you have anymore questions im more then willing to answer but I try not to backseat, the game is very f2p friendly so level who you like in the end. Just make sure you have a decently diverse roster for different situations. Id love to watch you play more since your enjoying it even if its the easier stages. (Some get stuck around chapter 2 boss)

Anyone knows if it's a good time to start playing Arknights? I do enjoy good story games such as Counter Side.

10:55 actually, it's recommended to level a bunch of 3 and 4 stars because theyre cheap as shit and will get you through the game well enough. Sure, 6* characters do big dmg, but they are also expensive and very niche. Just starting out, you arent going to have the million lmd required to get full use out of their kit, but you can easily clear levels with the free units given.

I’m waiting for end field

Welcome new doctor remember to open the selectors for more five stars, dont be fooled by the level of the stars, there is some that can make it wrong, i like if you do more videos about AK, If you like it, it will get better and better.

Yes, we are waiting for more

Amiya is a pretty strong Caster in the early to mid game plus you'll need to E2 her in order to progress the story

Love to see new youtubers doing arknights

The "Rhodes" in Rhodes Island actually a reference to the Island of Rhodes and not the state of Rhode Island. The Island of Rhodes was the headquarters of the Knights Hospitallars, which is referencing by the fact that Rhodes Island in the game is a pharmaceutical company that has a significant paramilitary branch. There's also references to a lot of real world cultures, religions, etc. "Ark"nights is a play on Noah's Arc, since its basically a landship/safe haven filled with all the world's animal people. There's also cyberpunk Poland, a China expy, Russia under constant invasion by literal demons from the north, Spain constantly being invaded from the sea by Cthulhu monsters, etc. etc. (This part is just copy pasted from another reply) It's a good time to join. A lot of QoA has been added over the years, though the tutorial chapters and first few dozen account levels can be tedious. Even then, they go by pretty fast and each level completely refills your sanity (the "endurance" mechanic that determines how many stages you can play in a day). The main story finished its first part years ago and now we're into another saga, plus we have dozens of side stories, so you'll have novels upon novels of good story to read. Obviously some are better than others, and the visual novel presentation can turn some people off, but most people generally agree it's enjoyable. All events and stages are designed to be beaten with 4 star characters, which are obviously significantly cheaper to upgrade than 5 and 6 stars plus the gacha is very generous with them. It's also been described as "better" in terms of rates for top teir operators compared to other gachas (though I've never played any others, so take that as a second hand account), even if getting the one specific 6 star you want can be tedious, especially off banner. We have new events essentially every 2-3 weeks and simply playing through those can rack up a lot of materials from the event store. There are multiple permanent game modes that don't take up sanity, like a rogue like mode, a deck building mode, and a long form exploration mode. All of which can get you a lot of resources and again cost no sanity. That said, they aren't really playable until you've built up at least a few of your operators. Right now there's a temporary game mode called "Contingency Contract" that is a seasonal event, also takes up no sanity, and also earns you a lot of resources. That said, it's basically endgame content since the challenge is that you can add difficulty multipliers to a stage to earn more rewards. Also, resource farming is very easy. The first time you beat a stage with 3 stars and no support operator from another player, it unlocks auto play so you can farm while working on other things. So yea, Tl;Dr: If you like tower defense gameplay, lots of different stories, a large roster of characters that lean more heavily towards "rule of cool" instead "rule of sexy," then give it a try

Play more. Arknights is perhaps one of the most fun gachas out there. Every few weeks an event would come out featuring unique mechanics that make them feel like solving puzzles. I would recommend playing at least until Chapter 3 because You’ll unlock new game modes such as: -A rogue like game mode -A city builder -A card game esq tower defense game mode.

bro started playing and immediately started dissing 12F LMAO the way you just diss characters you dont like is hilarious but yeah please continue playing arknights your very enjoyable to watch lol, ill even struggle with you i also just started playing

Don't worry it's all tough content when you start 🤣

"let me skip tutoriel, I know how to play games" 3:05 Wait wait wait, don't think we're not gonna notice you didn't perfect the very first stage of the game after saying that xD 11:20 it's usualy recomanded to try to level up you core squad equaly when you start, starting with the 3stars, as they are very cheap to build and do the job good enough, but most importanly they fill all the basic need for clearing early stages, meanwhile dumping all your ressources into one unit is a bad idea as that unit can only be in one place. And the little ressource you invest on the 3 stars is not lost as they are realy usefull in a mid/late-game gamemode.

For me games should really be "Would u like to play the tutorial for this map?" and u hit no and bham. Then when if u fail somehow.. just have it pop up again lol it sounds like it would be annoying but if ur failing enough for it to be annoying u probably need the tutorial

Keep on playing! I'm very happy that you are enjoying Arknights! 😁

6:45 I think Clay might be more blind than her if he can't tell the color of her yellow tie

a fellow Texas enjoyer :D

hope you enjoy your stay😊

"She is a collab character, she has to be meta" Well she was 3 and a half years ago That's the part 1 rerun We had part 2 with Ela , doc, and iana plus fuze as the free one some weeks ago Ela is very nice

On the topic of other gachas...**pauses, looks around quickly** .. there's chocolate available right now in BD2. Cultured chocolate. I uh...I got some stuff to go do.

Word of advice. The Rainbow Six Siege Collab had two banners, a new operator and a rerun of the last collab. The current Rainbow Six Siege banner is the rerun from 3 years ago. So Ashe is not in the meta anymore and I highly recommend to save your pulls, unless your really want her. There will be a 5th anniversary event somewhere around November. I HIGHLY recommend you save your resources for that event. The two new 6 stars are ridiculously broken. I hope you continue to enjoy the game.

5:22 can we fix her? Answer: yes... Get her alter😂

New dokutah, can't wait to see more

looking forward to yhe next video

One of the only thing i hated in arknight is that the game has no retry button for stages.....in a strategy game. So the only way to do over a stage is to quit out the stage and start it over (plus you dont get refunded 100% of the stamina only 99%) and you will be doing over stages. And before anyone mention practice permits then fuck no, why would i want to do the stage twice.

4:14 Or Hot Coldman~

10:13 That is clearly a Jelly Filled Donut, Sir. Between FEH, Nikke, Blue Archive, and Echocalypse I already have too many gacha games to keep up with to add more to my portfolio.😭

So weird seeing "games" and "youtubers" together. Actually going with the 10 minute chunks. You can milk the first hour or two for the whole week! Amazing!

you have missed Ela, Iana, Doc and fuze from last week but I have them

Putting points into Amiya was the right decision but you did it for the wrong reasons. Counterintuitively, 5* are generally considered worse to invest in than 4* because while they are like 20% better than 4* in performance they cost 100% more to invest in. There are of course many exceptions and Amiya is 1 of those. In most games that extra 20% performance would be critically important but not in Arknights, you can use 4* just fine as long as you figure out the right strategies.

you have to level Amiya to Elite 2 for the later story. She´s good for beginning. Level the 2 stars like Yato and Noir corne they´re good low cost operators and get a aoe caster up. Lava is good and the 4 star you have is also very good I have her max level aswell

It’s actually good to level low star characters too, you can beat most levels in the game with just 3 stars if you have like 150 iq lmfao, or just watch a guide, and they great for leaning the basics at the beginning, hope you have fun lol, I love this game

Everyone was terrible in the beginning. You just need to stockpile a few more suffering here and there before you can get better.

Glad you enjoy this game man❤

Love to see new players try the game out! The game does get harder as you get to later stages. Leveling the 3 stars are pretty easy so making use of them is pretty good for early on. Amiya is a great pick because she's got the MC buff as I like to put it haha. Hope to see you try the game out more!

Stick with it, game is great

Ep 0 - 4 is turitorial 😊

Pls play more

Early Arknights was fun and had soul... Then Chen Alter and the Sui siblings happened
