วีดีโอ

I wanna play nicheknights when Endfield drops because I played my faves in Genshin. Even though I still love Genshin, my account is stacked so I have nothing to do character wise. I started a challenge in other gachas and I have more fun that way. I'm also able to build my accounts vertically. Instead of the usual horizontal.

La pluma. I like how she work, and she is always in my team. Always. Lapland so popular, but it's so situated oper. My opinion, 1st dps , 2 healer, 3 guard. After la pluma I'm boost perfume

My first E2 was thorns...at account level 20 😅

I haven't watched the video, but this man is absolutely right. Please listen to him.

She is extremely cute. And I have been asking for a 4 star Juggernaut for a while in feed backs, seems like HG listened! Or more likely, they were planning anyway, just happened to fulfill my wishes, lol.

3:32 as a conviction enjoyer, i want more meme operators to have fun with.

She's what you'd expect from a 4-star damage wise. Good introduction to juggernaut if you don't have mudrock/penance but unlike those two she really needs assistance from other operators.

Here’s a few: 1. The scope of the story is too big, long, and high quality to be in a mobile game. I want this shit voiced, and not in PNG visual novel style, but I also understand how that would balloon costs for VAs and storage space. 2. The devs really should prioritize giving 5 or 6 star alters to lower rarity units. I do not want to see that many 6 stars getting ANOTHER version of themselves that is a 6 star also. Not when there are lower rarity units that deserve the spotlight. Yato and Noir Corne alter were great for this reason. 3. I still wish the game did things like Reverse 1999, where you can do an auto run that does the run 4-6 times but you only have to watch the battle once. 4. The level of…….”young-looking character enjoyers” in this fandom is concerning and gross. And it’s painfully obvious that when this game released that the decision to not include canon ages for the various operators is because they knew putting in younger characters would entice gross people, and while they didn’t approve of their interests…..they still wanted their money. 5. The power creep is real, and does legitimately ruin the game in some small way. Certain limited units have almost no use case or niche anymore, as some other character will do what they do just as good if not better. Examples include Ash, Nian, and Rosmontis 6. “Dead weeks” or “this game has no content” WAS ACTUALLY TRUE in the past. All you used to have was main story (and only like…..4 story chapters) and events. Content creators especially just burnt out due to speedrunning all the content within weeks. Nowadays, you have SO MUCH you can do. Integrated strategies, CC/pinch out, reclamation algorithm, challenge stages, etc. It’s mostly a complaint of the past. 7. The devs sometimes seem like they don’t know their own game. The decision for modules is sometimes baffling, and makes an operator with a fatal flaw in their kit not get an obvious fix. Frostleaf being a famous case.

Wait she's free.... Oh man. I thought the durin one is free. 😅

i adore the spanish desert sea urchin man

I started playing a few days ago. Pulled Blaze and Mountain. Upgraded Amiya to E2 and didn't regret it. With some struggle I managed to get Ceylon, Bison and Underflow. Didn't get any more 5* and don't have many 4* either (Myrtle, Jessica, Meteor, Shirayuki, Mousse, Deepcolor, Grave, Sussurro, Perfumer, Myrrh, Scavenger, Courier, Rope and Shaw). And now I don't know who I should pick from 5* and 6* selectors. Some say it's Thorns, others - Saria and even less often - Exusiai. After looking through 5* selectors I understood that Lappland is a mini-Thorns, Nearl - mini-Saria and closest to the Exusiai is Platinum (from the selector), but it's all on paper, not on practice. I'm lost on this one and would appreciate any advice from experienced players, who used and use these characters, please.

My full Wishlist is: "Clip" Cliff, Andoain, Wei Yenwu and Fumizuki, Fremont, Talulah, Nine, Mantra, and Cicero I'm kind of coping for a Sankta celebration event where we can get "Clip" Cliff and Andoain on the banner...listen, I can dream, ok?

I think if you instantly E2L80 a 5* operator in the first few days of starting Arknights, they're likely have someone who'd be able to trivialize everything in the first 5 chapters of the story so they'd then think the game's supposed to be played a certain way and skip all the learning stages and getting to know all the different characters and stories. What these changes are for, is not really for absolute beginners, but rather, they are geared more towards someone who's already familiar with the game but they're starting a new account for whatever reason. For the rest of us, they're nothing but a bit of bonus materials and originium.

i start a new account in cn like 5 days ago, now I understand her second skill, I'm gonna rise her, since I only have philopsis and gavial as my main healers and I need a good long range healer to unlock the 1800 orondums of annihiliation thanks

9:03 I am that guy, no one knows me but i am that guy :)

As a new player (only 7 days old), I probably wouldnt have played if they didnt do these bonuses. There's so many other games. And while working a 45-55 hour week, Arknights is not a friendly game lol.

These are good changes though i wish HG would actually Buff 4 & 5 Stars who are bad/handicapped as well as underpreforming or badly designed Classes of Operastors so newer players would have an easier time with the early game compared to Veterans with basically all operators under the sun.

WE ALL LOVE THORNS RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The free materials might not feel much for most anymore, but will be at their best when the new player needs some materials from chapter 11 or 13 for their new shiny op, while their real main story prog is at ch7 or something. I may have been that player few months ago, and boy was it annoying.

I like the blue banner purely because it's another operator to buy from the shop. I'm mostly f2p, only really buying the monthly pass every couple of months, and I tend to save 300 pulls for limited banners that interest me so I can get the featured that I really like + another limited I skipped So I'm missing a few characters that I like, which I only buy from the shop. With the blue banner it's much easier for someone I want to appear in the shop, especially when the select banner comes around.

I agree these are great additions. The one thing I think is a bit strange is including the Training Grounds under Archives. What exactly are they doing there? Surely they'd be easy to miss or forget where they are. I hope new players are now directed to them at some point. Having them give gacha currency as a reward is a nice touch that incentivises everyone to clear them. The first few chapters are definitely a drag and probably will always be. I can't see HG reworking them, it'd take far too much work logistically. Hopefully everyone having an E2 L80 unit now plus two very good 6 stars (everyone on the starting banner is really helpful for a newbie, ranking them is splitting hairs) will mean anyone getting bored by the text will be able to no-brain clear the first 4 chapters, bypassing beef gates like 2-3 and 3-8 rather than getting stuck and giving up. Whereas those who are more interested in the gameplay and don't mind taking time to learn can still do so (that was me when I started). Overall, very happy to see HG introducing QoL and newbie-friendly features and bringing them in as soon as they can manage, even if it's ahead of the CN schedule. I've had friends who play newer gacha games such as Reverse 1999 and Ash Echoes compare their features favourably with Arknights, which is understandable since a lot of them have essentially taken what was good about Arknights and improved it, but it's good to see Arknights catching up to those newer games somewhat.

You like thorns for his character that has the same lore and character as Surtr and Cuora.

Always having an e2 support to borrow also will help new player learn what units they don't have do and play around with units they haven't leveled yet

dont worry man as a beginner of arknights myself, i did have difficulties but theres kyo for every stages i found hard😅; the exeception is the credits realy hard to gather

I too use my upgrade ticket on harold 🤝

i maxed amiya with both items i dont know if it was the correct option but thanks to that i could have some really op friend unit thanks to that i could finish the event

Been playing 5 years with 306 characters so far, all stages cleared and i didnt know some of this stuff lol

I wish they also added the difference between attack intervals and attack speed. I still get confused despite the words are color coded since I can't visualize the difference

The problem with "Blue Pulls" is that they are just outright worse than normal ones. Splitting the banners so we get less old spooks is good. Essentially mothballing all operators past a certain age by banishing them to a banner that gives out the vastly worse Blue certs is dumb. It's like they spend the time and money making new art and game menus in order to add a system that is just worse for the player experience. It also doesn't help that the Blue Tickers cannot be used on new/limited units. . .

This is best update for new beginnings players the tutorial and free good stuff.

I've missed out on thorns everytime he came back so I was very happy to get this selector even though I've played since launch lol

i just need damage calculation. hg please add damage calculation.

rosespanner meursault...

I think that's a great help for newcomers and Blue banners are good if they want a specific older unit. Even for me even though I played for a long time there are still a few 5 stars missing like Meteor. I don't need her but it's good for completionists.

Im also super hyped for tutorials old tutorials were like "Here Orchid. She's a Crowd Control unit. Use her together with Amimi to kill Big Guys. Congratulation! Now you kno how CC works!" ..and then next stage happens on the same map, and doctors immediately forget everything

I like keeping my 6 stars at lv60 and my 5 stars at lv50, that trainig aparutus is gonna be sitting unused in my account for quite sometime.

3:42 the answer is suzuran

Wth I've been playing from 2021 and i just knew the training grounds

The biggest problem I have with the beginning chapters is that they shove some story in between the tutorial and it makes the newbies think that some of the things being said is just flavor text and nothing important and they can have this mentality while reading the important stuff too. There's still a bit of this in the game but it's very rare and by that point you're already skilled enough to figure out the mechanics by trial and error

The new tutorials are nice but in terms of compiling info in one place I feel like we could use a glossary of some kind. List every debuff, damage type, etc just all in one place with explanations and maybe links to relevant tutorials

I wish i had all of these a year ago. I got Mountain and i don't like his role

Im currently a new player, well newish, sorta. I started an acc over a year ago to get kaltsit but the game didnt stick so i stopped playing. Came back for mumu (well it was hoolheyak but i got mumu.) Came back again for W and now im sticking. One thing I really really like is that they added a “recommended to do” to the event list. I have not even played any of the old events, ive just been unlocking them so I can do them later. I haven’t actually used the 5* max upgrade stuff or the 6* selector though

Free E2 is gamebreaker for new players. Wish i had it when i started playing. About tutorial...Damn, where's mine 6 star ops. I know about basics, but those characters so weak compared to 6 stars. They good for early game, but i stopped using them like 1,5 years ago.

10:30 Where do i find these challenge tutorials?

I think it's a nice update however they still need to do some research on who is the biggest benefit (like Lappland or Saria for 5 stars). However as a fairly old account, I like these 5 star promotion tickets because I can use them on "fun" operators like Skyfire or Franka that aren't good enough to warrant the resources but still fun to use.

Brooooo, free 6 star and e2 5 star for newbies? Wish was this good when i started the game

I only failed one tutoria cus i placed mouse looking up to shield guy, c'mon is the normal thinkin isn't?

as much as i like the changes and i really agree that players not being able to do events early is a problem what id want to see most of all is a 3 star mode for events, sort of like the adverse vs normal for main story stages but the twist being you can only bring 3 stars. its a lot easier to balance around the limited pool of 3 stars and for players who dont yet have the arsenal to take on the stage normally can easily raise 3 stars to beat the stages on the 3 star mode. also i would be curious to see the divide of new players able to easily clear 3 star stages while meta slave veterans struggle without their win buttons

10:34 Where can I find them? They seem fun, but i cant find these stages.

I didn't know there were challenge stages for the tutorials, where did they even put them?
