My Thoughts on ALSA's Banner: SHOULD YOU GET ALSA in AFK JOURNEY 

man, you didnt consider how busted shes gonna be with the charm system, mages set bonus is gonna give raw 20% damage increase, 20 execution and 250 stamina when using ult. can happen every 8sec, she can like cast 3 ults every 8 secs with the charm set binus activated. and shes already dealing marilee lvl damage in dream realm right now.

Use Alsa S+, with Thoran link + Reinier Buff on her, Eiron S+ and Arden. Especially on Supreme Arena, Fight Number 2 with moral boost. Try it.

She automatically became the top damage dealer on nearly all my teams (even when compared to Odie) and I have them the same rank….

I agree with what you said when she is at one copy. Currently have her at S+ with eironn m+ and she is clearing afk stages better than the odie team. (My odie is s+ with s+ smokey) And using her in dream realm to push T50 against people 30 levels higher than me. But wouldn't recommend if u don't have eironn (Her BiS) m+ at least and her s+.

Already got her S+, love me a pangolin girl.

Brother you always say the new unit sucks but Vala is insane florabell is insane you don't have a good history of predicting unit strength so far

Title should be "should you get 1 copy only"

I got Alsa Mithic + ....the ish she pulls off during fights..especially stuns...100% happy with her

I tried to play in my own way: no Odie or girl with bow in priority, instead I invested in Parisa and im kinda super happy, she deals HUGE dps with her high crit rate autos and AOE skill - no regrets here same case with Alsa: I love her design, I want upgrade her as much as I can, I WILL make her work even if it requires to invest in other heros that are normally not rly usefull

As a Alsa s+ user, i can easily champion top 100 with s+ cecia and s+ alsa and others m or m+ she deletes in pvp, also she is broken in guild elite challanges as a pure f2p i can one phase the elite challange, its also easy to push afk stages but sadly you need to do them with manual control i have pushed 30+ level up mine

The only way to counter Alsa suicide is to pull an enemy unit into your back line. So she ults into them in YOUR back line. Then she safely yo-yo’s into enemies.

eironn supreme, granny legengary, cecia mythic, + hyween or smokey or rowan the team i wrote is the one i use her with and she SHINES. 1) she gets her ult faster (at around half the energy) after the first time and can trigger the artifact for the damage after nth number of ults at around half the time 2) at supreme+ she gets additional damage to the enemies that were controlled by enemies. eironn mythic+, a few seconds into the battle, and the enemies lose around 20% of their health just by standing 3) she's great for bosses and single target fights she's not vala who's great almost everywhere, this unit works with some conditions but if you meet them your enemies are done for basically lol

I would heavily disagree in this opinion, as I think she is worth the investment, I just think that cecia and odie don't compare to the damage against alsa, and I also disagree that odie will out damage alsa, I've tried both at paragon 3 and odie don't even compare, and alsa capability to demolish every back line and meta comps in arena and to push, she is worth investing. You can control it with Reiner as well if you don't know how to use it. And she has carried me to demolish the arena, so you can't really say she don't shine in anything since her damage outshines odie, since I think your only viewing it at afk stages, and this opinion would probably be only for new, early players, but alsa is worth investing if you plan to win against, eiron or scar or thoren meta comps.😊😊 But this is a pretty good video.

She is an absolute allstar in pvp with reiner and thoran damage reduction buff. Add eironn and she just goes off

I like her and only need 1 more copy for M+ to get her EX for some fun comps. I already have Odie at S+ so he can be her teammate for my Mauler team.

love ur content mtashed :))

I think you are very wrong about her being worse than florabelle, she is insanely strong i still dont recomend to pull her but you are being blinded if you think she is bad i have pushed stages with deficit of 100 with her she does dies sometimes but you can just move her or change there is some stages where she wont be good same as odie. You just need to be smarter about it

Alsa is amazing. wtf...

I went all in for Florabelle, I knew yu said she wasn't gonna be meta but I loved her design so much I was fine with having a acc that was a bit behind. She is now S+ with a +10 weapon and I dont regret a thing. I do still very much appreciate your opinion and video's tho and I will be skipping Alsa. Flora was just an exception for me :3

With my Alsa S+, and Ex Weap +10 I've found she can be quite useful... but also, kinda niche at the same time. She can chunck a crazy amount of damage into a very short time... but also, she can potentially die pretty quick. I guess the takeaway would be she is very good at dealing damage to crowds in a small time frame... but if you're going for single target damage (over the course of an entire fight), Odie is your guy (and you should max him asap anyways).

I pulled her by accident (hit the pull on the wrong banner) and I continued to build her out of cope. Best accidental pull I have ever made. She is really fun to play and pushes more content at mythic than my Odie does at Supreme with the right team.

Hard agree. I've seen people do some stuff to (try to) make her work, but they're all just so gimmicky, when there are already more effective comps available. As of now, the only place I really use her is in the current 2nd map in the Supreme Arena with the Raging Duel mechanic based on control effects - a variant of the magic control meta team with her can get the Morale Boost faster.

I've been seeing a lot of Alsa hype for the dream realm bosses where she out damages odie in some of them at high ascension. Thoughts?

it's crazy how out of touch people are. Alsa is a unit mostly for whales, or people who can spend a good amount of money to just whale on her and max her out. Most people can't and won't do that. And for sure most low spenders won't and shouldn't spend their gems on her, because getting base S ranks and A ranks is infinitely more worth. While yes, she is good, it's just not worth for most people, since most people aren't whales

I agree with everything you said, but there are some teams on which she shines on AFK and PVP (those that defends her like a Thoran link). On these teams i prefer her over Odie: awesome dmg and stuns locks. There's one more thing i am looking for on Alsa: have you checked how massive the magic charm skill can be on her to massive spam ults? I could guess she will surpass Odies dmg on bosses with those

The eeason I'm not getting her is because I'm free to play. If I get her later through normal banner ok. Right now I'll continue to invest in the good characters I was already.

I’ve been playing since launch and my account is way above average, not at the top, but very strong. There is NOT one time that I needed Alsa, nor situation where she would have been a better fit. I was not impressed, and her role is better used with other meta characters. After she is off the banner, maybe later I might add her to the wishlist, but 100% agree with everything you’ve said.

zap7737 fighting for his life in the comments. Biggest Alsa glazer for no reason. It's okay if the character is mid, it's not a big deal. Unless you spent hundreds of dollars for Alsa (idk why you would) LMAO

I got her to supreme+ immediately cause i got lucky with some back to back 10 pulls. My team atm is vala, thoran, cecia, florabelle and alsa. And i always link alsa to thoran so she stays alive.

I’m happy with my Alsa investment.

I got her to mythic plus knowing that she isn't the best, only got her cause she seemed fun to use

As a F2P got her to supreme+ got really lucky D: and her with my supreme Eironn got me very far ahead in Arena as well as AFK stages with enemies not being able to move despite being 50+ levels above me, though i agree it is to each their own though depending on what you have

I have her at S with level 5 weapon and she almost doubles Odie’s damage. My Odie is S+ with completed weapon.

I think once we have Soren we will see a true and fair view of Alsa, for now I'm glad I skipped though

You neglect the fact that you get +5 resonance synergy every supreme+ character, which means eventually you want to supreme+ all characters. Rate ups are the easiest way to supreme+ non-arena shop heroes.

Yeah, someone way stronger just lost to me on Arena because their Alsa made a wall that protected my Cecia... yay!

I'm saving for Mikola.

3:50 Did he just compare a single target DPS unit to AOE unit? Apple to Oranges my dude. 11 min video explaining how uninformed you are about this character LOL. I have both at Supreme+ and I can say after extensive testing - Florabel SUCKS! Alsa, does a shit ton of dmg when you need a good AOE unit and also she is amazing against them super fast moving enemies - she locks them in place with her rocks. Alsa also can perma stunlock enemies and won't let them move at all! So as a person who got both of them build and tested Cecia vs Florabel vs Alsa (since they are all at Supreme+ and AOE units with exclusive weapon LVL10)... Alsa is my go to, followed by Cecia and Florabel ... is my very very last choice.

guys he is just saying she ain't S+ tier which is fair vala was crazy OP just like Seele on launch but give it time people will find OP comps to use these characters with later to make them good. Vala is just good by herself

I didn't have Caroline maxed out and it might be a long time until I get her. I think Alsa makes a great replacement in that team with Reiner, just drop Damian and Caroline. I was skeptical just like Mtashed was when I pulled her, but man does she carry now. I also think she will get even better with time.

As a p2w perspective, i dont believe Alsa is worth it to anyone who doesnt have their core+ units ready (+ incinuating you have a solid arena team on offence and defence while being at least in or close to champion on your server.) BecausE by then, you should have your main units to at least s, maybe supreme+ (this includes your base purples too.) I will never deny how strong Alsa is. She lets me beat paragon whale (people who whales harder than me (im vip 15)) teams 1m+ power because I'm using her synergies well, but when I see people who have 2 s+ units and alsa is one of them, it hurts me because they spent a lot of gems early on to get her and have less diversity of units. If we didn't know and have a supreme arena, sure, we can recover with time... but now we are forced to have 15 units on stand-by. Overall, is Alsa a good unit? Yes, she is great, especially her new season skill make her good in dr apparently and will be an offence staple in arena. However, for her to do her job in most cases and most efficiently, her other teammates want to be s+ and +10 which is a steep imvestment even as a p2w player, let alone a f2p.

Mtashed keeping it real as always. Appreciate the brutal honesty.

I can understand the disinterest in these new units. Yes they might be considered S Tier, but unlike other games where you can test your luck, build pity, get them early and have an S Tier unit at only a single copy, in AFK Journey you need to go all in. Not to mention the game already provides you the units you need, so it's even harder to justify the investment. At this point I'll only pull if they're units I like, or if they're absolutely game breaking (SSS+ Tier)

After reviewing Alsa skills, i immediately know that she's not good for the team. Lucky i am invested in Florabella the other day and i almost got her to supreme+ and damn she's really good and also team her up with cecia too.

I like her, but she isn’t worth the potential 96,000 diamond cost. ( I have her Supreme + EX10. She out dps everyone, but the times that she rolls into enemy lines she gets melted)

We need to talk about smokey's buff. It's almost impossible to kill anyone on the opposing team that has a mythic + or greater smokey because he constantly heals the teammates and the aroma is doing more damage now. He is also immune to control effects. Add koko and odie for factional bonus ans Thoran as the tank with Rowan constantly giving them energy. That team is cracked

@Florabell is a perfect team mate for Cecia btw

I am always in the Top 3 in the Arena of my Server and the only two guys that are ranked higher and I can't beat every single time are using Alsa.

I have 89 tickets waiting on a better hero.. bummmer tho i should of pulled for Florabelle

damn. i have like 150 tickets and 100k gems just waiting to blow on a juicy unit. i will continue to stockpile lmfao

Lmao no way Florabelle is better than Alsa. The only negative about Alsa is her jump in on first ult which can get her killed. They devs have to remove the jump in, or make her jumpback evasion actually proc when she gets low. With Arden and Eironn she's amazing. Anyone without a good Caroline can use her. She straight up replaces Carlone in that core CC team.

i have her mythic just because i wanted to pull lol

Live to see player respect the char here On a lot of other places (other videos or IG) players would just freely trash her without having tried and would get extra salty if you try defending her For me she's been extremely helpful and fun to play, she often surpass my Cecia who have a way higher rarity, so I'm pulling all copie regardless because she doesnt seem that bad

Try the unit first, show us how she perform. If theory isn't proven then it isn't worth a penny, basically a baseless opinion. If you don't know how to use the unit it isn't a disgrace to ask for peoples opinion, not saying I am better. I know you're really good at this game and I respect that, but having concrete evidence isn't a bad thing. I know the comment section is saying a lot but they do bring some point. Not saying what they're doing is a long term or wise idea, some people just want to boost their game-play and apply things differently. Your gameplay is different. yes. My point is opinion are biased until proven, that is how people view it. I am not siding with anyone here. You are awesome and everyone else. Additionally, just to make things clear I know a lot of players are free to play. Some are saved-up. It is entirely up to them how they use it, but it is still wise to save them specifically diamonds. Investing ina unit is a big deal and yes easy to access heroes like odie, perharps a versatile heroes will benefit. But a single copy of her might make a change even in low ascension, say koko for example. But as always risk is involved. Play safe if you want, we have our own way of playing the game. Again, it is wise to save resources but risking it may also be a choice.

waiting for full screen AoE gold rarity lucius myself, surviving me hard for me

My alsa destroys everything, bro got a single copy and theorized without actually playing her

Dang i had 117 of them but decided to go in on alsa since she's good for pve

Got her to mythic plus cuz she's cute lmao

Of course even after all this time Mtashed doesn't know she's good in Dream Realm... If I were to listen to the RU-vidrs in this game I would be sitting on all the gems since the game started cuz every banned they say it's an ez skip. Why is everyone waiting for the "broken unit" ? For all we know that will never happen, and they'll just keep dropping balanced units forever.

i think the problem with Alsa is that she's so niche that you'll have to build a specific team around her to take advantage of her abilities. characters like Atalanta and Soren would probably pair well with her and while we have yet to see Soren's usefulness in a variety of content, Atalanta is not worth investing into only for arena purposes over other characters that could be useful in multiple contents.

You don't know what you're talking about cuz you don't have at least Mythic+. She could work well in Eironn comps and her Rolling Boulder damage is not to be scoffed at. Wait for the official Prydwen tier list before you judge her

As a new f2p player isn't it just better to spend my diamonds on normal inv letters? Cuz i need odie copies , alsa isn't great, soren is unknown and keeping my diamonds for 30 days isn't the best use as well if i wanna progress... Id appreciate if anyone experienced answered me

sad, I've invested her into supreme+ when she's out wish will be improved in future

Sadd cause I really like her design

I dont think they want to realease a game changing character anytime soon.

I see michael I click

its kinda weird. this is first video from you, i totatlly disagree. I have Odie and Alsa S+ and Alsa is winning in 80 percent of the fight in DMG + She has CC and it not needed to be played all around her

Bias bullshit and bad faith opinions are useless for anyone looking for a constructive argument for or against this unit. I remember now why I stopped watching this CC

Dude has absolutely no clue what he's talking about 😂

Also MTashed im not trying to be rude to you I get it. You're trying to get the bag and that's all good and I respect that, just don't make disingenuous videos that everyone can see through.

Thank goodness none of these afk journey tubers are financial advisord or I would be in the red

Hi

You’re late. She’s been good since day one. Just got her to supreme 😌

Too late, already S+ her 😢

I have her S+ and I haven’t used her since her rate up came out.

Like with all characters, it depends on the situation. Against a strong melee unit team she can completely outzone the enemies if you set on ranged with her and maybe additional Igor in team What they NEED to fix is her stupid automode staying frontline in dream realm and not jumping back

I couldn't care less for Alsa, where is Soren?!?! 😩

Got her to mythic she is fine. If I listen to you I would have no ideas what to do people get it if you want. There other influencers. That say it’s a great unit so take what this guy says with a grain of salt. Thanks in advance

Alsa the doo doo 😂

She an Igor wannabe

First comment for tashman

Don't like her much. I got her from pure luck, just by using the rate up letters. And she's just...okay? Like...I have a team of almost entirely Mythics/Supreme's now. Who am I supposed to replace for 1 copy of an Elsa? lol I think that's just a design flaw of this whole system too. They want us to buy new heroes, but it would takes weeks of investment, or just pure cash infusion. And the hero isn't worth that. It's a pass for me, I'll take my 1 copy for the Collection and move along.

man ur so late

she just dies lol

It's weird how these new characters feel so superfluous. Because of this, I feel like this game has nothing to offer to me. I'm not a fan of the new gamemodes: I can't stand Supreme Arena; Dura's Trials are whatever. The thing I like is to build new teams around new synergies enabled by new characters. But it's been so dry so far. I have Florabelle, I have Alsa yet i'm still playing the same old shit because it's just better. It's possible something eludes me though.

No, you should not pull 👍 I pulled her and even at supreme+ she is TERRIBLE, almost made me completely quit the game
