I think it's a lot because Exu is the first 6* for a lot of people(since you know, she's in the newbie pool), her relationship with Lappland and Texas makes her more likeable and there's also this brainwashing 'apple pie' line...... Plus she's always memed in the CN community to have 'left the enviroment'(meaning she's no longer good) but then there always are videos where people get Exu some buffers and she obliterate half the map in high risk CCs. Edit: also I forgot to mention her positive personality, which makes her even more likeable.
And I'm pretty sure she's loved very much by kataokasan. They made a lot of good stuff of her. If they don't love her then that works would never exist.
I remind you that CN has a lot more female players, as well as relatively few male characters, so that’s why a lot of the guys are higher than expected.
Yea, as someone as gay as me, I'm surprised that even tho Husbando ratio is kinda low in this game but they still manage to got this many op to get to high rank, I'm also only have Waifu and maybe Mountain as husbando so ... 💀💀
This one is like more than half a year ago. There’s a new one out recently. Also, there’s a lot of female player in CN so all the husbando ranks highly
You've kind of spoiled it with the thumbnail. But otherwise, that ranking was interesting. And the reason why Elysium is above Myrtle, because he doesn't use a fucking flag in battle. Let alone said flag is a tablecloth This is Dr. Revs, signing out
What’s the fun in beating up enemies if it isn’t with a flag made out of your curtains? I personally would’ve ranked myrtle higher since she has a golden apple, that’s all, that’s the only reason.
I was interested in Arknights content for so long, but then I saw a post on Facebook that said "Who was your first E2 on Arknights?" and I was like "Hmm, Yes, I'll make this angel my first E2." At a later point I found out about account rerolling, so I made another account, since my main had horrible luck with her, I got siege from starter banner on main, and on the new account (made on my 23rd Bday, early august last year) I got Exusiai on my first reroll attempt starter banner, and got Mostima from her own banner at the same time. Now I'm proud to say I have apple pie as my first E2, and the Traveling Best Girl as my second. Bday luck IMBA
Exusiai has a very positive cheerful personality. My first 6* and carried me all the way also her fail stage line was very encouraging and reassuring. She can melt enemies down we get introduced to her very early in the game, her relation with texas lappland, mostima, penguin logistics So it is well deserved. Also who doesn't like apple pie then continue to delete all slugs. Edit: only one who also deserve it is amiya
POPULARITY. Understand that first and then you understand all the order. Not just gender and design can become a factor. Lore and also interaction also matters. For example - Adnachiel survives when he hold W on his own.
Perhaps the husbandos are higher than expected on the list because of their relative rarity compared to female ops, and thus makes them more treasured overall...that is the only way I can understand Sessa and Flamebringer being so high. But ya thorns is great. Not sure why Exusai is #1 tho, mabye because she was the favorite when the game first came out (as all the ops that came out later are at some disadvantage), and thus has a more special place for more players
The whole reason I played ak is because of exusiai lol. Started around ursus side story and told my friends if I pulled exusiai in the beginner’s banner I’d continue playing. Got her and here I am.
@@rezafebriansyah8620 I’m the so-called waifu collector player, and the reason I want more male-only operator banners is so that it will give me more time to save up Orundums for the waifu banners ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I thought exia was a male because of her design but she was a female. But she is really cool and happy going which is something nice after you've seen the broken/serious ops. Thats why shes my favorite 6 star
HAHAHAHAHA GET PRANK'D. Why is that surprising, when Exusiai is literally the one girl most people have and when she is literally more cute than an annoying omniscient character? Also an angel with a gun, dude.
@@michelalexsandro8605 honestly I expected exusiai to be like top 100 and with luck _maybe_ top 50 but I don’t see her higher than top 20, while she’s cute she’s kinda plain, would’ve loved some more demons in the top 20’s since the sarkaz have the most beautiful women lmao.
@@salarmer1633 While I do like W, Exusiai has a special place in my heart. Angels are underrated too, my girl Mostima should've been higher. Can't say I'm *that* sad for W and to those who like the sarkaz because they're more eye-candy than the rest, I have but one thing to say... Cope. Lul. Chinese know how to appreciate em op's, otherwise the top 10 wouldn't have a single male unit.
This one is pretty old. There's a new one that came out lately (January 13). A lot has changed in that video (Skadi win 2nd place this time due to her alter for example). Exia is still top 1 tho
one thing i gotta say is that the arknights community is flush with different opinions and tastes, and thats really great except for when i dont agree with them
"Two hottest husbandos in this game is probably Phantom and...?" I need an answer of who you think is worthy of comparing him to, Vifer. ;x Phantom is the hawtest AK character, hands down.
i think the main reason is probably coz theres so much memes and other derivative work floating around the CN community that global arent familiar with, and lore is pretty important too, broca aosta chiave has really interesting archive files thats why those three are relatively high on the list
"I actually thought Toddifons would be a little higher" yeah same, but then I remember she's basically weaponized racism, so meh good enough ranking lmao
Also popularities can be measured if they are from a pretty popular ships. After the release of Passenger, Sesa is not that popular imo but when Kami-sama arrives his popularity just skyrocketed
As Exusiai and Eunectes are tied for my top fav. waifu's and Chen is also up there.....I'm fairly happy with this list. Was hoping Eunectes would at least break top 50 but she was 5 off sadly.
Exusiai beside meta wise, is actually attract me. Her smile and her E2 art feel like (sorry me Jesus), an Angel of God. Literally the original duo Apple Pie with Kroos kokodayo. The ranking is only for fan-based in China, take nothing in meta and skill at all, only love purely by lore-wise and skin-wise. Some results are quite suprising, but seeing some males made it to the top is very warm-heart.
Lore-wise and skin-wise? Yeah no it's ranked on horny-ness more than anything else. I like Exusiai as a character, I truly do, but she's not even close to being the best existing character in Arknights. She's a simple design, and a very straightforward cheerful character with just a tiny tiny bit of grim mystery to make her somewhat interesting. She's not number 1 thanks to that no, she's number 1 because a lot of players started with her so there's definitely a part of nostalgia bait, but mostly because she's specifically engineered as a design to be popular in the East, Asians absolutely adore that kind of cheerful teenage looking characters.
It would've been much better if you put your camera video on the bottom right instead of bottom left bc you covered up the "past rankings" section for operators ranked 50 and above. Also in that corner is how many votes those operators received in the poll.
Exu was popular before that, and the reason those shit ass fanfictions exist is because one degenerate artist couldn't pull her for a while, when he threw hissy feet and made a revenge porn to express his frustration, so stop bullshitting everyone.
players that loving the character sincerely because of the character itself are the concept that hard to digest by global players (especially metaslaves)
Damn poor Conviction, they don't deserve to be that low Wait holy shit this whole list is a mess lmao Also why did they use skins that makes it unnecessarily confusing
My top 10 would be 1. Phantom 2. Thorns 3. Kal’tsit 4. Exusiai 5. Silverash 6. Lappland (I got her when I started and I liked her) 7. Passenjesus 8. Ling 9. Shalem 10. Mr Lee
Just... Wow, I feel like there's so many characters who got shafted in this, I guess CN has its horny priorities but man, half of that top 50 is mind-blowing to me.
the reason for some operators being put that high on the lists cuz of memes, like passenager he's considered the weakest 6 star at that time but everyone memes about him and makes videos about him so he kind become likable cuz of that, Mr Nothing is high up there cuz there is a popular content creator does low rarity guide for ppl and share some personality trait with the character so ppl end up just mixing those 2 up and memes about it. Blitz become popular cuz a female content creator did a video fangirling him like crazy and the video went viral. and ofc don't forget about the cp fans of TexasXlappland, TexasXExusiai, furries and yaoi.

Passenger's ranking makes sense, since after his buffs he became a top tier operator. Also husbando is life.
this video is pre buff when he was still bad as was said at the start it was when CN got under tides

POPULARITY.
Understand that first and then you understand all the order.
Not just gender and design can become a factor. Lore and also interaction also matters.
For example - Adnachiel survives when he hold W on his own.
Exactly, its not always the horny or meta factor.

Husbandos are higher coz more than a half of CN Arknights playerbase are females, this is also why Doc is a female in anime.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Archetto lowest of the 6*
why must you do this to her
i'm in shambles
That's because archetto is in the same archetype as exusiai, and CN loves exusiai, the reason is clear now
