Oversimplified Break The Ice Event Story | Break The Ice Summary [Arknights] 

got gnosis but no aurora😭

Got gnosis on 2nd pull but no aurora

Got no Aurora, but somehow got pot 2 Gnosis

Off banner Aak lol

I see that Aurora is more rare than Gnosis. Cuz I also got micheal jackson in 30 pulls but no cute polar bear, oh well I'm not planning to build her anyways. But still thinking about building Kjera or wait for Goldenglow?

O P WHEN HG

@@bombfrost5058 he’d be too op

Well that means Elite Ops deserve to not look like NPC

Is Elite Ops obtainable?

IIRC he's part of the playable but not recruitable gacha pool in Fungimist and IS 2.

Marking his territory

Our girl monch really needs some headpats.

@@-thepatriot-9719 yes let's use headpats as bait so she would appear in future event

@@-thepatriot-9719 no it's not enough she need a BIG huge

@@raffibagus3035 And headpat too

Not as bad as Platinum's in Near light event, but for sure I pity her too

Another?

Nian, dusk and Ling are pretty much gods in their own right. Even though they are fragments of a bigger one

@@Mauguiltyspark nian and dusk are gods. As is ling, but she ain't here yet for us. Technically they are fragments of gods, but it is somewhat implied that kjera is another one of those fragments, so if shes a god then so are they.

I thought you were talking about Godsenger 😂

@@Santisima_TrinidadKjera is the humanoid embodiment of Kjeragandr.She is a weakened noumenon rather than a fragment.In spite of this, Sui ’s fragments is still stronger than her. Kjera is young among the gods.

yeah, he is complex. He is willing to take extremes that could have resulted in big casualties, but only when he deems them really necessary to achieve his goals if the given circumstances doesn't allow him to take on alternatives

It's as complex as real life.

he deserve a raise.

It's coming out of the doktah salary

Basically, everything the doctor leaves the ship, he solves a national conflict

@@enzoongweekiat1711 ah yes the good old let the player do the fixing :kekw:

At least this time we didn't have Tomimi shoot our VTOL out of the air with Saint Javelin.

I lost my sides to be honest

Context please? I saw it but didn't understand the joke

@@sneakyivy i think its from It’s morbin time from mobius meme

@@grildrago I know it's from it's morbin time joke, but what's the context from that scene to insert that joke

@@sneakyivy just randomly, nothing more

UWOOOOGGHHH

but she not do the 3 5 things that her sister do... i forgot but if i am not wrong, every 3 step you clap your hand and every 5 step you ring a bell while climbing the mountain.

@@aadipdip1326 True, but was that really part of the test? Or was that added with time?

That was a part of the test, since it is very time consuming and you are not allowed to eat or drink along the way. Pramanix as a young girl finished the test and was mainly motivated by her faith and anger.

@@V-Oblivion .

Yeah wtf hahaha... As a Malaysian myself, that is kinda true

Nah, man. Needs more "PAKYU!" being thrown around.

I also hope this will have a sequel event, making it trilogy at least, like the kazimierz. I really want the Silverash brother and sisters to get along again someday...

oh there are evils in this story.. browntails & paleroche planned to kill silverash's parents for their open-door policy (though it never happened, because the victim died unexpectedly.. they will definitely execute the plan, if the accident never happened).. then there's great elder that gave poison to valais's family member, saying the goddess say he is fated to not continue life.. lastly the great elder's before-death outrage, about how vine-bear court controls the nation, now and forever!.. the story is a long read, got bunch of stuffs going on

Well, degenbrecher indeed became a operator lol

well, silver lining Enciodes now knows she could have been on his side if he didn't misjudge her, and despite having her clan being now subordinates, he's more than willing to let her run the clan the way she always did

@@granmastersword yeah

Yeah, you could feel the devastation after the House scene from the writing alone. Heck, Ratatos didn't even have the will to help the Doctor, so she let Sciurus take over and get that screen-time she always wanted

@@Madcat1331 yeah man, but the number of people who see ratatos (and the bear man forgot his name) as clear cut scheming backstabbing evil villains surprises me

@@nahyanrajee198 Zamn, Silverash tricking Doctors too

I wish I felt as smart while playing... heh...

I understand why he did it but he definite lost my trust for thinking he can use us however he want

Yeah what he was doing is needed for the his country his method were pretty bad but he himself say that the country don't have time, they are in the middle of 3 big empires and a ww seem to coming to the ak world...

Nothing can slow the never-stopping Wheels of progress!!!

I still hate him for assassinations, smear campaigns, and coups, honestly i wanna see everything he worked for tore down and him humiliated I understand why he did it though as you said, Kjerag is underdeveloped af and this was for the greater good Edit: he reminds me of Funny Valentine minus the r#pe

when you think about it, the last gen of other 2 clan planned to assassinate Silverash family... and for what?

everyone thinks SA "did everything for the future" but yeah i agree he did some inexcusable things in the name of progress

@@nahyanrajee198 People make excuses. But I loved that he was basically the villain and even Pramanix and Cliffheart acknowledged that fact. Silver Ash might not be an outright evil villain, but he was definitely not the hero. His and Gnosis betrayal of Monch pretty much proved that. Not to mention it revealed how he had basically screwed over Pramanix. He is more villain than hero for sure at this point. Also he is clearly modelled after the pro-China movement in Tibet. The pro-industry, anti-religion stance is 100% CCP.

@@TheLastKentuckyIrregular9524 he really fucked over ratatos too. In the burning house scene it was shown that ratatos had more integrity than everyone thought. She also helped SA in the past, only to be screwed over

确实，也不光是西藏吧，中国以前都这样，洋务运动最终掘了清朝的坟，也给中国带来了先进的国外思想，这些思想最终形成了新文化运动，也产生了国民党与共产党这两个先进的政党，最终将中国带出了百年耻辱。

How is this pro-China, when SA clearly states, that he wants his country to be strong so it DOESN'T get invaded and occupied by neighboring countries? And the entire culture of Kjerag is clearly not asian. Arknights already has a China analogue - Yen and Lungmen, and the government of Lungmen isn't exactly shown in the best light. In fact the story low-key hints at Tiananmen massacre.

each stage story take me about 20 minutes to read. toooo loooong

I read all the story in one sitting. It was almost 4 hours of just reading. The story this time around is pretty nice though, (imo) cohesive politics that I could follow, nice character development, that burning house scene also really stunned me. I quite liked it. Unfortunately some characters like Valaise and Guro didn't get expanded upon. I thought the would be developed more since they had nice sprites.

True... lmao

this one got me good.....too true

I'm so so sad they didn't dive into that even a bit. I was really invested in the young doctor's graphic death and self sacrifice in AWITD. I think I would have enjoyed learning more about Catastrophes, Oripathy, and the land of Kjerag than read a mini GoT.

@@tempota7792 My ongoing theory is that because of the mountains/height the originium crystals we seen in terra grow from the earth cant reach the same amount of particles up there/dont grow in the mountain region. (as far as i understood the only originium found is in the mines) The cold/ice may or may not play a role but what this also suggets is that Originium wasnt always the status Q on Terra. If there are regions besides Kjerag who arent affected by Originium besides in peoples blood its really interesting.

*_Duel of the fates intensifies_*

Probably staged since SA aim is to become dokutah best friend.

@@danielmick5236 Close but really his entire objective was get dokutah and Saintess to fall in love. :3

@@EternalGaming786 he approved? Must be in that new contract

@@EternalGaming786 There is zero Canon support for that. Please do not spread blatantly false information.

Im wondering if karma eill rightfully bite Enciodes in the ass like he deserves for manipulating his family and countrymen and tearing down the reputations of rival families Assassinations, coups, smear campaigns

theres only doctor and sharp (elite operator) in this story.. imagine the whole Rhodes Island make an appearance.. enciodes would fly a white flag, lol

@@darkomega6597 Why waste the precious time of other operators when he can use the current "assets" he has to make the Silverash fear him?

for the better

Yeah, we have seen how Silverash forced to choose between faith and progress. But now, with the supervision from the saintess, hopefully, he will change his mind by realizing that faith can go alongside with progress.

I guess you don't watch the whole cutscenes yourself. But SA said that he doesn't mind the religion and he doesn't hate the other clans or plans to take over Kjerag. However the situation has become too dire and the change has been too slow. If possible he wants to slowly change the opinions of the people and the other clans. That's why he thanks the doctor for providing a more peaceful solution.

@@traveleramongstars4600 yeah. He had plans to take a more slow, peaceful and gentle approach to achieve his goals. However the current political turmoil in Terra yells at him that he may not have enough time achieve them that way before Kjerag's neighbors decide to compete in making his homeland their bitch. So he resorted to extreme, questionable tactics to get the change he wants and prepare the nation as fast as he can. He was fortunate to have the Dokutah around to use his godly brain and scheme out a way to make his plan conclude in a more peaceful manner, avoiding the possible bloodshed

I also have no time to read but finally give it a last minute shot, lol. Just here to confirm that the story is pretty much like this oversimplified video so you havent missed anything.

Yeah, I've pretty much skipped every story after Under Tides. Just way too wordy. But gave this one a try bc of cute Enya and Ensia. Took me 2 evenings to rush thru it. Did not expect reading a bunch of words on 20 PowerPoint presentations would take so damned long lol

chad dokta strike again.

We got kabedon'd by Kjera lol

Well, iirc Sharp and other Elite Operators are playable...as exclusive for the upcoming Integrated Strategies 2 mode One of the strongest ops you can get if you are very, very lucky

Close, but actually he's one of your neighbor I think.

Yeah frost is neighbor. But as a neighbor too myself, I like them Malaysian parliament.

From what I've heard, the main reference for the political situation was the meji restoration, which was bassically Japan going from samurai to a more modern industrialised economy, and was as bloody as kjerag was going to be before we stepped in to ease the transition and ensure things were less weighted in favour of silverash. There is a bit of tibet thrown in as well due to religion and geopolitical location, but it's mostly meji.

@@Santisima_Trinidad nah ppl only think is meiji just bcs on industrialization side, which is just too shallow. why meiji? bcs it got pressure from outside world? the why not russian empire in 19-20th century? or bunch of other european nation which also got pushed by external forces, directly even unlike japan. those who thought of meiji forget the main features of it, Imperial restoration not industrialization, Kjerrag doesn't have royalty and SA are more leaning to outright state controlled capitalism, pure business and military. THAT is the main point industrialization is such a common theme in 18-20th century, it's not a special case unless a more specific circumstances paired with it. and what set Kjerrag apart from that all is the religion, paired with such a mountainous culture, Meiji ref as main already fall apart when there's no royalty included. if it's industrialization alone then why not Swiss which is already an apparent ref? Swiss industrialized quicker than most mainland european nation in 19th century and quickly became such prosperous nation. paired by how it's a democratic state which is closer to Kjerrag than the absolute monarchy Meiji govt gas

@@hermanwillem7057 intresting. Now, we could say that the vine bear court and the saintess are royalty, but thats a bit of a strech. Still, as you so rightly pointed out, from the start of the 18th to the 21st century a shift towards industrialisation was the norm, with more and more very traditional country's being forced to embrace it due to actual or perceived outside pressure. Which means what we can most rightly say is that the story was inspired by that theme of industrialisation, rather than by any specific instance of it, whilst the location is seemingly a hodgepodge of Scandinavian and tibetan aspects.

maybe she will reappear in the future. Maybe she's on some form of journey of self-discovery or something to help herself

the story really looks like it didn't finish properly.. could be like Nearl's event? got part 2 and part 3.. what happened to monch? valais? degenbrecher? that degenbrecher got high chance to be limited operator lol

to be fair there was some level of pulling back as they weren't aiming to kill each other. Still though that's still quite an accomplishment

@@granmastersword Yup, it's just the difference in vision between the two sides, but actually there is no intention to destroy each other

It was not for naught
