Should You Get And Build Thorns? | Operator Thorns Review [Arknights] 

Surtr might solve the big boss problem, but Thorns will solve everything else, and contribute decently to solving the big boss problems too.

Frostbyte I just can't wait for the story about priestess! I hope she still alive somewhere.

For those who noticed, Thorns skill 3 was originally called Supreme Arts but later renamed to Destreza. Maybe it was confusing players because they will likely thought that Thorns Skill 3 deal arts damage which isn't the case since his skill is still mainly physical damage but with extra arts damage from his talent.

Would you like having a Sniper without playing any Snipers? Do you like having a stylish team? Do you like Sea Urchins? Because even if you don't you should still get Thorns. Doctor's orders. Cheers everyone!

Dr.: "Thorns, it's time to go trust farming!" Thorns: "Of course, Doctor. Which stage?" Dr.: "..." Thorns: "Right, dumb question."

Should you get thorns? Me: yes My luck and wallet: *no*

Still waiting for the video that just goes: Short answer = yes Long answer = yes "video ends"

One of the best guard in the game . Great sustained DPS, Ground Sniper range and he can become ANY WAIFU!! Totally worth your pulls, if you manage to get him that is. On the other hand, I think Thorns would be available as a cert shop operators just a few months after this so I think you can still reconsider

things you dont know that thorns's s2 synergzes well with his 2nd talent since "he cant attack"

Been using him ever since I got him by luck at his banner. Very worth an investment. But I guess I'm gonna mastery his 2nd skill in defensive battle sometimes. Now that his banner is making a comeback, perhaps I would pull for his dupes.

The best Sniper in the game. A sniper that can be deployed in ground and have a high dps that also could deal arts damage.

Knew how good Thorns was from using others E2'd version, so I was fully prepared to gacha quite a bit for him. Thankfully I got him in the first 10, so NTR and the other Waifus are still in reach!

One of my first 6 stars when I was new, and I have no regrets pulling for and investing on him. He has pretty much grown to me for the past year

It would be nice if you also show a summary of the materials needed so that we, watchers, will be able to decide for ourselves whether or not an operator is worth our sanity

Got him stead of Mumu in her banner 😩👍

Can't stop laughing at the thumb, FrostByte with the drip it's so cool and funny lmao

The thumbnails keep getting better and better 🤣

The robot voice really stands out compared to the other Arknights Operator guides that only use text captions with no voice.

I love Thorns so much Him and Surtr are always in every team I bring in lmao Unlikely duo and never interacted in canon but both are super OP so they’re always together in my squads lol

I love to pull for his banner but considering my luck, my safe bet is to wait for him to be release in the shop by around the month of August this year.

He spooked me twice when I was pulling for Weedy. I didn't level him up for ages because of how salty I was. Now he's one of my go tos. He's amazing

i can see box2 spending his lifesavings now lol

Best Guard so far. He mostly tackle every stage and event

Got thorns on hoshiguma banner as a newbie so good

Cert shop jumpscare, finally. 🙏

Got him after 5 singles. So happy after hearing and reading on all the hype surrounding this guy.

Thorns is my first max leveled, m3'd operator. Permanent spot on my Support units, lol. Definitely worth it.

Blemenshine spooked me at this banner

FINALLY 🔥

One of the best "GUARD" :)

Here before BOX2 does ..

Destreza is a must have

Important to note that his second skill counter attack will not deactivate his regen. So that skill will have him constantly regenerating, which is nice

I was so prepared to spend for him but he came in just 4-5 single tix and I was so happy ajdbsj

Short answer: yes. Long answer: yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Im torn on who to save now since ijust recently hopped back to arknight. I want thornification but i also want nian for aoi yuuki reasons., Dusk seems nice and ling in the future event.

hoping to get him....

Thorns can be the best waifu, best husbando, best sniper, best meme and best guard simultaneously Should you pull? If you have enough orundums or pity -or enough luck- then definitely

I wanted him so bad, I bought the 6* selector solely for him.

Just got thorns and gonna make him my first E2... I already have the materials but lacking lmd and exp

Please send me, that Dr.Drip 🥶🥶🥶

Just got him in 30 pulls :) Wasn't planning on pulling for him (saving for NTR Knight Banner), but I wanted to expand my roster and I notice I haven't gotten any male operators other than Mountain. I also heard a lot of good things about his role. So This was perfect timing for me :D I now have 43k Orundum. I can save up until NTR Knight Bannter which will probably be around 46-47k Orundum. I can technically still pull for Saileach banner, but I'm really worried on NTR Banner due to how massive you can get things there. Can't wait to level Thorns and be part of my team ^^

Just got him today in my first 10 pulls!

You forgot his most recent appearance in the Xenoblade chronicles 3 trailer. Even monolithsoft wants a piece of that thorns lmao.

Got him and Weedy on my first 10 pull. Immediately clicked on this video right afterwards.

Wow... Im just got him...and he and BP will make the poisoning combo

one day and i know it the long answer will be just YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

Ever since I had him, I never took him away from my team. He’s just a hunsbando meta you cant get enough with

the real question is can you get and build thorns?

intro.....YES......outro.

Today i finally got him, but not only that, he also bring me Saria n Magallan together.. very gud luck.. I hope thorns wanters will be thorn havers

When you sayed he has no module, i tought silver ash also doesen't have one, i wonder if his true slash will hit in rl too if he gets a module.

Banner said 50% chance but got 2 hoshiguma instead (back to back)...Im so ready for thorn with mats and xp cards (and skin), i guess there's still time for weekly orun

I got this guy off the "the 1st one is definitely going to be new 6*" banner. Ate my supplies to do it but I won't complain... even if I wanted blemishine so my mudrock could bonk at the speed of sound.. oh well.

I just got thorns! I joined late January.

Thorns is a permanent on my team. Love him so much

got him from the first pull this banner. felt good at first until I remember I have 0 resources to raise him to a viable state.

Imagine he got module and the module make his 2nd talent regenerate his hp without any condition

got thorns just now on his banner, but needed 50+ pulls

Had insane luck returning to the game though Had to get 50 pulls for chalter after I did 1 10 pull for kalstit got eyja and kalstit after that I did 30 pulls in eunectes and got her alongside elysium and finally did 7 pulls for thorns.

Got Thorns today in 50 pulls with 7k orundum left. Feeling happy rn. I've promoted him to E2. Now i need to M3 his Destreza. Well, time to save for Ling (I'm not interested with NTR Knight)

Thorns is tempting, but I have gone too long without Apple Pie, and the NTR knight is getting closer and closer. Eh, knowing my luck, I'll probably get him off-banner as I aim for those other two, just like how I got Surtr in Under Tides and Dossoles Holiday. EDIT: For the record, I also got Skalter, Chalter, and Kal'tsit off of those banners as well (hey, ex-wife showed up 4 times as I was trying to get W), with Aak as a small bonus. I'm just saying, off-banners do happen. UPDATE: After borrowing someone's Thorns for every single map on the current Contingency Contract, I gave into temptation and did a 10 pull on the banner. Then after not getting him, I gave into temptation again and did another 10 pull. Thankfully I got him that time, and hopefully I didn't just shoot myself in the foot with the NTR knight or delay Exu for myself again.

I pulled him as my third pull on his banner and fucking screamed wildly. He was E2'd a few days later.

I got Thorns on 30 pulls.. this is not the nicest thing Arknights gave me but considering my desire to get him, this is too generous ❤️

After Watching this, i got him when i headhunted on his banner.

Hey Frosty, maybe you need to update most of the Short Answers needs to emphasis with: FUCKING YES and FUCK YEAH YOU MUST GET HIM/HER with certain extremely must-have Operators instead of the typical Yes

Ahhh yes, pulling for thorn and get mizuki. What a great banner😢

I saved for Thorns about 3 months.. 22 single tix & 85k orundum.. pulled for him at 4.30 am.. 4 single tix = he appeared.. lol I'm very happy!

FrostByte262: *Should you get and build Thorns?* Box2: *YES YES YES YES!!*

I dunno man, I'm a beginner player and I got both mountain and thorns in the beginner gacha and gotta say, been using thorns much more right now, he is so strong even at E0 LV50

Thorns are one of most valuable operator to invest

THis was my luckiest bannner I rolled 40 times and I got him, Nearl AND Mudrock and like 9 other 5 stars Im so happy im crying

It's funny, I pulled him getting the lizard girl last banner so. 2 for 1!

ah yes just like what i requested thorny boi

i really wanna pull him but i wanna save some of my orundum and the permit for nearl alter edit : aight, i got him with only 11 oull using HH permit, and got hoshiguma too

Don't be like me, I ignored his first banner because I'm not a husbando fan lmao, although I got him off banner later. He's such a game changer.

Just spent everything I frikkin had on this banner. Ended up with saga and weedy. I love 'em both but damn that fucking hurt

Tried to pull thorns, got Mountain instead, guess ill take it

….had enough so I pulled on the banner………….honestly I was expecting a 5 star but I started hearing the sound………..and I got him

Got him from Angelina banner which was with the Pallas’s banner. Still stays e0 lvl1))))

When does thorns banner will appear again on glb server?

Dude i got like 70 pulls, is it worth trying to gotcha or just save up for yellow cert eventually?

Got him and Surtr in his banner it's a good day y'all.

Thorn gaming 💪😎🤙

Yo so um where can I find that 2nd Thorns skins with the bunny (I assume) for research 🧐 (It’s a joke I know that isn’t him but need to clear it up since people will not realize that)

Will Thorns be in the shop for gold certs this banner rotation? I might actually spend on him for a guaranteed hire lol.

78 pulls missed the 50 percent and ended up with Hoshiguma. I have gold certs to go for another 38 pull but I will not touch those until the day Surtr appears in shop and I'm a man of my word. That concludes my journey to get Thorns unfortunately. When I opened my eyes slowly and saw Hoshi's horn, that was some sad shit right there... Good luck folks, may y'all get lucky and pull him.

I just got him 5 minutes ago :)

I tried my hand in pulling saying fuck it I I'm F2P been saving 60k Orundum pulled for the 1st 4 and got nothing but meh, then the 5th pull boom Exusiai then thought I guess that's it I've finally been lucky then tried again then kid you not I got thorns on the sixth try. Man God must have been smiling towards me I was stunned with the realization that I've got some meta six stars after getting pity pull of phantom and nightingale from previous banners

Got him, now pain of farming chip packs

Tried my luck on his banner. I didn't get Thorns, but at least I got my pitty rate up :')

If i only knew i'm gonna pull a carnelian, then i would've not wasted my soft pity

Pulling him while saving for NTR. Saga wandered in. Don't know what to feel at the moment.

Short Answer: yes ; Long Answer: Also yes

What did it cost? "Kore koso ga iberia no destreza"

When is he coming out though?

Got him in 26 pull, my luck finally back after the horrible 200 pull no 3 star in blue archive

im ready .. and his outfit is already a dusty thing in my home 😤

I'm glad I got him in 10 pulls.

I still looking for that "My friend, I can give you 1000 reasons to pull" comment. We still got no 2nd operator for his "Absolutely YES" approval...
