Late as usual, I'm sorry. Recording the voiceover and researching stuff took more than I anticipated. Anyway, enjoy the video and let me hear your thoughts on Siege Alter!
This is probably the best showcase of an operator I've ever seen. Instead of focusing on numbers and what not you showed exactly where and how she was useful. Well done
10:45 SA has been a good pick for helidrop until today is not because of his skill, but because one of his passives reduces the Redeployment CD, which is helidrops entire identity. Not that his S3 is bad, but as you said, there are just better ops for it, so SA is essentially the Flagpipe of Helidrops, a strong unit that is there mostly for support.
@@eile4219 Thats why he sits in the team most of the time. His passive talent is enough for him to be brought to a ton of high end content. It opens a lot of opportunities for tight timings and complex clears.
Actually even back when they just showed Vina in the PV but there were no kit details I noticed that her kit seemed similar to Nealter and jokingly said that they might even give her some true damage just like her, which turned out to be true somehow.
Amazing, unbiased review. I absolutely don't care what people say about her kit being underwhelming, it's just the Wisadel brainrot. I'm pulling for my Lion & maxing her out in everything. Edit: Yes, I am the Siege mega fan that will probably put Siege & Vina into my support once she comes out.
If I have enough saved by that time, I'll pull for her. I find that over time, that niche is worth more than pure unga bunga even if she won't always be on the roster. For instance, I pulled Mlynar back in august but I haven't really used him much despite his power. This is because I can already unga bunga pretty well, so it's mostly for when something really overwhelming pops out like intense Chapter 13 spam or if a group of annoying elites is parked somewhere on the map where he can reach. True Damage never becomes irrelevant and getting Walter and Logos frees up a *lot* of slots on the team going forward. The biggest threat to Vina on the 5.5 banner isn't the power of Lappy, it's that my interest in those characters is very high and I actually want all of them (I can't wait for the CS bullying CS meme vids).
I dig her S3 but here's the thing: she's not my lovely kuranta wife who deals true dmg to my enemies or gets helidropped to 1v1 a nasty elite/boss. That and well, her banner turns out to be right before Lappy Alter... Just like Ascalon before Walter. Depending on my pulls saved I may go for 1 6star to see if I win the RNG but if not, then I still have my NTR.
To be fair using Hoshiguma to showcase the damage reduction isn't the best to use. Mostly because she has a talent to block damage with rng. With the rng being pretty decent considering he stats already allow her to tank damage really well. Shu showcased it pretty well.
Showing her in a lot of IS stage is pretty good and I think that's exactly what she was made for. She's not going to deal insane damage in standard content compared to all the top tier characters we have but with the nature of her true damage and how she scale off buffs, she was pretty much made to guarantee a win in the IS stage bosses if you do have her and have a decent enough set of relics. Right now, Elem Attack may work as a source of pseudo true damage due to nothing having resistances to it but if the variable is there, it's a matter of time before it gets ramped up and Vina become the easiest guarantee to just ignore the 90% damage reduction and just nuke the boss from 100 to 0. Overall, not worth it if you're just going to play for EX-CM medals and then stick to farming normal stages but if you love to play IS and not just grind the lowest difficulty or straight up buy the levels, having her guarantee your life will be much easier even in the future as the only way to counter her is to give the bosses 10 million HP instead of Phy/art damage reduction.
I love Vina and I really dig her Saber-like design but Lappland alter blindsided me. If I had to make an analogy, Vina is like a bloodhound having it's teeth sunk into my flesh. I could probably struggle free from that but Lappland alter is like a tiny cat sleeping on my lap, it's just simply impossible.
I'll still try to get her a bit since I've been anticipating her since I finished reading chapter 9 or was it the end of chapter 8? Such a long time ago lol. I quite like he design but how much I roll depends on my luck and stash size leading up to her banner for sure.
Her banner fell in an unfortunate spot for me. After Wisadel and Logos, Uplianus and Nymph are also Operators I'm going for. And her banner heavily relied on what was after her. And sad to see Lappland Alter is just too cool for me to want to pass on her. At least Vina isn't limited, so if I ever get spooked by her it will be with open arms. I also don't believe True Damage is the best archetype anymore. I'd give that title to Elemental Damage.
I use an android emulator. Currently I'm using LD player, but Bluestacks also works. If you go to the Arknights CN website, you'll see that an emulator (MuMu player) is also suggested by HyperGryph themselves.
Not a fan of her kit, especially her s3. Like come on, if u need true dmg just use kaltsit with her s3's 15 sp cost & front loaded dmg. even with comparing kal's 35k-ish dmg vs vina's 70k dmg, Basically kal would be on her 3rd s3 activation when vina is on cooldown waiting for 2nd s3 activation
Not Going to lie not a big fan of her kit at all, she is used to be sorta of like a Elite or Boss killer but we have so many better options like Surtr. Degen, or Mylnar also if you try to use her with like a Defender behind her the does she does is so bad when skills aren't up and one block only. All in all she feels awkward to use and her kit isn't anything crazy also Lappland Alter and Suzus mom are right after and already look so much better (also Im a Lappland simp) making her an even easier skip
Looks pretty lame. Afk true damage is strange to me, and default helidropable nuke that powercreeps stolen NtRK s3 is way worse. It's a big plus that she's semi-balanced unlike 90% of other new 6stars, but I just find her kit very unappealing.
What 90% of the new 6*? Pepe narantuya, ulpian nymps and vina are quite 'balanced'. The only outlier is just logos and Wisadel + Lapp alter (probably). And even then Lapp doesn't seem as broken as Texas alter.
@@BorneoRain-l1j Ulpian easily destroys any enemy in the game with just one welfare in the squad, Nymph deletes any enemy AI. Pepe dishes so much damage she looks balanced only in comparison with W, Logo, Degen and Mlynar. I see why people complain but she's very far from being mediocre. Ascalon is the strongest and the most consistent CC by far. Narantuya - yes, looking pretty healthy balance wise, but maybe I'm biased because I like loopshooters and her kit in particular.
@@rw6611 needing another operator means he's very dependant. He's just another guard. Tanking is his specialty as AH is made for it. Nymph is niche. She's geared for crowd control. And unless CC or high ascensions is you won't ever need her. Ascalon is better than her. Pepe... Lmao. Nothing much sets her apart from the sea of guards unfortunately. Heck vina offers better things to the table via true damage. You're better off buying Mlynar from shop instead of pulling pepe Narantuya is good. Above average like Vina is. Yes you clearly are bias.

its all good smallphi
great job on the video and i think we'd all rather have you take your time than put out something you're not 100% happy with. keep it up!

SA is kind of suck on high end content. It doesn't do enough damage. mlynar is much better. And there is always surtr for big bad boss,
@@eile4219 SA with module actually does pretty damn solid damage again even beating out mlynar depending on the amount of enemies

Pretty good review, I'd gladly watch more of these.
Woah, that's a lot of good information. Great video.
Very informative, nice work, thanks!

Underwhelming? How dare they said that to Her Highness.
I agree on the brain rot. Every operator has a use or a niche. Skipping walter, and saving for vina. Her and horn will save victoria!
They are talking about her skill cycle being underwhelming. Also if you complain about wisadel, don't get her.💀
@@foot8730 Wasn’t planning on it. Pulled for Ascalon instead & now saving up for Narantuya & Vina.
@@SilentSpirit671holy simp
what soothing voice
Nobody was ever gonna convince me not to roll for Vina.

Shut up, nobody cares about your Lappy alter
Omg, you pronounce the š in wišadel properly, hell yeah!
How to pronouce that š? Is it from a spoken language?
@ashnguyen2950 in croatian we pronounce it like the english "sh" sound

Vina is a tragedy.

I DO NOT PERCEIVE THE WISADEL, I WANT MY LION KING 🗣

But Vina is a feline, and Lappland a lupo.
@@wickedarctiinae4132 That's the ironic part, which OP cannot think of. Very small brain of him
She’s cool, but i wish her second talent was done differently and her skill 2 would be better, because that’s my kind of skill…
Anything with true damage probably good
I'll still try to get her a bit since I've been anticipating her since I finished reading chapter 9 or was it the end of chapter 8? Such a long time ago lol. I quite like he design but how much I roll depends on my luck and stash size leading up to her banner for sure.
She's just a better Viviana. Pass.

Wait, 1st time revealing *real voice* 👀
it's actually the 2nd time, I also did a Marcille review with my voice ahah
Nggh..... Vina will be very useful for me, but I also want Lappy Alter!
True damage is true damage
I'll pair her with Kaltsit, True damage true damage.
Why Vina have 2 attack animation?
How can u play Arknight on Computer?
I use an android emulator. Currently I'm using LD player, but Bluestacks also works. If you go to the Arknights CN website, you'll see that an emulator (MuMu player) is also suggested by HyperGryph themselves.
LDPlayer
TLDR an aoe NTR knight skill 3
