Dusk boss bgm, even though it's from one of the older almost anni events, it's the most unforgettable to me. It still makes me shiver by how beautifully composed it is even after literal years.
Same. On my first run I had a stable autodeploy in which I somehow managed to take down Free's first phase at just the right moment so that when played at 2x speed he revives and does his roar just as the OST track reaches the epic crescendo at 57:37. Now, every time I hear this track I can "hear" Free's mighty roar at that timestamp. Sadly, my OPs leveled up and gained masteries since then so it's no longer synced up. I tried recreating that a few times but never managed it quite right like the first time :)
Stultifera Navis always gives me the shivers... such a badass sea shanty. And my other two favorites are Andoain song and Quintus. That last one was the one who cemented for me the absolute TOP QUALITY of music we have in Arknights.
On another note Dolly just casually surfing on lava in case you meant the lava not looking like irl lava ig but I assume you're referring to the operator cuz the capitalization.
Undertides is truly a piece of art. Lonetrail only falls behind by a very very slight margin. Also, if it were my list, I wouls include Clyde and Eblana's boss themes there too. But great list!
I really love Awaken and Control's Wish, so I'm happy to see them here. Didn't expect Dolly, but after listening through it, sheep battle-jazz does go hard, sooo...
Among this list, I still love EB's theme 'till now. It really depicts his unstoppable march to expand Ursus' territory with his snow of darkness 😌👍 Anyway, love the new UI! Really like how you put the official music's cover there.
Kristen's theme is just a beautiful song and lonetrail in general was a masterpiece of storywriting. I can only imagine it had a similar feeling to people hearing apollo 11 landed on the moon.
Quintus's boss theme is CRIMINALLY underrated by most people except you. I am out there to say by far the best in the game. Its got that chills up my spine, Horrifically creepy with the distorted singing.
My top 5: Emperor's Blade Minimalist (One of the best Arknights events overall) Talulah (My 2nd favorite. Just pure epic) Zaaro (Easily the best, however I do think Talulah fits more as a boss theme) Quintus (Love the creepy vibe)
I'm very thankful for this video Some of the songs I have heard for the first time in full version and that kinda make clear why they have such position in the list, like Mudrock one for example. Good art picking as well. Definitely will save this video in my playlist dedicated to Arknights music. And I swear Control's Wishes made me cry again. Can't wait till event hit global servers.
I'm so glad to bump into this after I've been listening to a lot of individual tracks lately! Zaaro might just be my favorite track though but other tracks come quite close like Andoain.
The last steam knight make you imagine a medivial battle between 2 armies Jellston theme like a commando mission qnd something went wrong Andoin like there a big modern urban battle alterning from calm to chaos Zarro like the final fight between two rivals
The end speaker makes you think that no matter how they fall. They’ll always live to tell the tale, and will fight no matter if they are cold Playwright makes you questions the real truth was just a ruse to see if you are worthy to keep your oath. Or more so to keep your sanity Minimalist makes you want to keep partying while saving shit lmao
The Rat King is still one of my fav themes. The first time hearing it 3 years ago when the event first released. I did not expect it nor the extreme battle I was going to have to endure.
Does anyone have the sinking feeling of 'This is gonna suck' when hearing the Last Steam Knight? Frost Nova's theme have that haunting feeling of being surrounded but you couldn't see anyone. Wait what?! Stultifera Navis is the Endspeaker's theme? Seriously? Guide Ahead's Andoain makes me feel like I've been judge and the verdict is closing.
almost all song i ll vibe with.. but emperor's blade, yo that boss stage is F hard back in days with current released operators.. i still vibe with stress tho xD
There's no doubt in my mind that Lone Trail's boss theme is very good, but I haven't heard it yet, and I'm trying to avoid spoilers for Lone Trail as much as possible until the event itself, so I'll skip over it for now. Once it releases on global, I'll give it a proper listen and let you all know what I think of it! Update: It is indeed very epic and good! I can definitely see why so many people hold it in high regard!
Sorry for spoiler but I think they are foreshadowing the return of the Steam knight in chapter 12. Notice how it changes from a dark gloomy music to a music with a beat, similarly this Steam Knight stays in the dark for so long that he becomes insane even forgetting what is Victoria, but then in chapter 12 the Knight simply answers a Random Sarkaz by saying "I'am Victoria".
Of course he will return, it's didn't even need to foreshadowing. Good writers will not add character just for "cool boss fight" scene in the end of single chapter. And HG writers definitely good.
i'd say after reading the lore i was surprised that he actually took like more than 2 or 3 hits from saria (with arts included lmao wtf) and still made it out alive
Bro, why no Invitation To Wine boss theme? That shit is basically god tier since you fighting the avatar of an actual God. Good list but man, sad that Sui's theme wasnt there
