@@hanajanaa that’s insane!! I’ve been playing since 2021 and I’m only getting him now- same with my friend, she just threw all her savings away and he never came home 😭
@bellart_ramana eh, my Click is doing just fine. By the time your account grows, you're gonna try to look for operators with better burst damage. I haven't even raised my Logos cause don't have the time. :/ Saria is still cool, I still like using her, but I thought it's a bit funny to pick her solely because of the arts fragility. I think there are more options nowadays, even for the lower rarities, I even managed to see a lot of low-rarity clears of harsh stages with only the likes of Click, Indigo, and Pudding.
But maybe people are mistranslating what I'm saying anyway, cause I'm typing it through the context of the video, which is about which unit newbies should pick. Saria is great long term investment but not exactly the best for newer players that are lacking dps unit. If you're already well-off with solid squad built, just pick anyone you want.
@Jumman23456 Do u mean Exia? I think she is good as is. But some ops from this selector is just more versatile - u can search other comments here to decide If u about Saria (not sure she's gonna get module), she is definitely good even without module. Healer with def and block is must have one in my squad (but it's just usually Shu, cuz I've got Saria only now)
@@СергейДорожкин-ю6п no I mean exia will get module right? So I got her already someday ago but this video says" you need to wait 6 months to get her module" So, I got exia recently. Do I still get her module after six month? Or no?
@@Jumman23456 If u want to use her, just do it. Module will make her better, of course. But it'll just expand the range of mobs she deletes. Like now she's good agains low-def/a low middle def Then it'll be good with low-def/average middle def Or avg middle -> high middle (last time I just max trust for less good 6* and don't remember the line her impact becomes lower) Hope u get it
Thorns have the same problem with ling, unless youre playing IS or doing low ops run, once you get more strong operators, its just more convenient to use those other operators, specially since thorns dps can be replaced by most 6 star casters/snipers with half the work.
@@slept5971the more strong operators you have the more you'll want to lean to AFK strats though. No one wants to brute force 30 minutes annihilations using mlynar silverash and degenbrecher lol, in that sense thorns is still valuable, specially with his module
I'll say this from a "I don't need these operators" standpoint: Mountain and Thorns are definitely the best picks. I've had Mountain since the start and both he and Thorns have always been in my loadout for my entire experience. SilverAsh looks really cool and has a very good EN VA (I always use EN VAs because I like being able to understand my ops.) Saria seems pretty ok and her lore is interesting to delve into. Blaze is Blaze. Enough said. Exusiai is going to have to be the butt-end of my "analysis" here. Very funny Texas-Exusiai pair but beyond that, I wouldn't pick her over the others.
If you have all of them but pot 1 only. Get a pot for mountain. You almost ALWAYS deploy him second (after Myrtle) and having 1 less DP can be crucial on fast start stages.
missed appuru pai and mountain. i use mountain support way more often but hey, at least that'll help me finish my weekly mission faster. bought appuru pai skin mote than 2 years ago thinking i'd get her in no time. i was wrong
I'm obviously pick Blaze. Lately my playstyle is leaning to AFK (since I'm already on lategame) and I have almost all the listed operators but Blaze and not having Blaze for AFK gaming is FREAKING SUCKS.
Somehow I always cope with weedy S2 + Skalter S2 as my blaze replacement in afk strats. But there are just no good substitute for thorns in afk strats.
@@orionhunter204 I'm usually subs him with Lappland S2 with some helps, but is still not enough for me And I also sub Blaze with Thorns prior to getting her
@@caiovinicius5204 blaze has range extension which covers two lanes which is crucial in some stages, and in some hard runs, some healing is even needed for blaze to even survive. So in many cases, mudrock cannot replace blaze in harder contents since mudrock can't be healed and is prone to Arts damage. Blaze also has resistance, so stun and freeze stages are stages where blaze can't be replaced by mudrock. But weedy is somewhat viable since therapists can just solve the stun and freeze. And the dps loss can just be supplemented by skalter S2.
The only one I already had was Thorns, and I know saria or blaze may have been a more correct "Meta" choice, but I wanted Exusiai. So I got her. (Already had two decent medic defenders in Neral and Blemishine anyways.)
I wanted to get blaze because I like AFK but I also wanted mountain for the same reason, so I was unsure on who to go for, luckily for me and with incredibly good timing I got blaze from top op tag yesterday so now I can just pick mountain
I am on the fence. I have no good lords and leaning towards Thorns. However, my current meta team is mostly high cost units and I struggle on stages where there is an initial zerg of fast weak units and I love Mountains application in this case, plus he seems better with pots
My personal choice would be to pick Lords and use Charger or Agent Vanguards for those fast weak mob stages. Because I am a long time Vigna user who recently moved on to Fang Alter. But, if you like Mountain for this then you can go for it. He also gets a bonus of being almost crucial for afk clears.
@LordNNero Yes all great points. The difference between Mountain and the Agent or Chargers is he can actually sustain and block and can potentially hold a lane for the whole map. It's role compression like Saria is for defenders. Definitely a tough choice though, as Lords do that for air. With max archetto, walter and Ela, I don't struggle.with air units that much and penance does a good job as primary solo lane holder once she's deployed.
@@TheSaraphic Oh! Maxed out an Antiair sniper and have good late game lane holding with Penannce. Also, you won't struggle with burst damage because of Wisadel. So, SA won't be that good for you. Thorns is still useful, but it Seems your team would benefit more from Mountain. To be fair, he was my second top pick after Thorns. But, I chose Thorns because he is a Carry unit (the type of unit you choose from support units, so now I can choose someone else from support unit and benefit from having him as well).
@LordNNero It's definitely still a really tough choice. Will hold the ticket for now. Unsure if you can get Mountain from top op tags in recruitment now....I do know Thorns is possible from there.
@@TheSaraphic Both of them will be available in Shop with Yellow Certificates at sometime. I want both Mountain and Mudrock in the future. So, I may wait and get them from the shop when they come.
I picked mountain. First I'm a maleknight player, already have thorns and SA. 2nd, i often see myself use fast redeploy to suport my vanguard early on th3 map, mountain is perfect
I got 2 options, po5 5 Thorns to improve his poison, or pot6 Exu to make her buff go ++ in the end, I picked Exu, cause she buff 3 operators at once (she included)
I recommend SA fr, my bro can replace mountain by his S2, can attack aerial enemies and perform range attack like Thorns, and when u E2 him, he can see invisible enemies and perfrom attacks like Mlynar, bro is a 3-in-1 operator 🤸🏋️🔥
I have a hard time to decide between Saria, Mountain, and Thorns. Then pulled on the Kernel banner trying to get Pallas. Got spooked by Saria. Then found out Thorns module is good so I got him.
I picked Silverash so my beloved can finally be p6. Already had everyone else here so if course I went with what my hear wanted. Now he is completely maxxed out in all aspects and I can finally move on to maxxing out Eben and Logos pots next.
I only have Thorns. I'm taking Mountain. I can replace Blaze with Specter, I have Gummy so I can skip Saria for now. I just got Mylnar so I can skip Silver. I just need Mountains. I need a self-healer who can deal with swarms cuz my medics can't heal everyone quickly enough
This is really good for a new player who started playing when wisadel banner. Just pick what you need for your rooster! Me personally, Thorns is my starter he's still king of annihilation imho. I cleared all annihilation stage with thorns+guide i found on youtube. Especially he have module now. i skip blaze and saria, already have gavial alter, shu, max gummy. Mountain really good for new player, but not me unless just for collection or you really like him. I am mountainless but i dont have trouble with my guard laneholder for endgame content till now; which is thorns, gavial alter+myrtle s1m3 that i usually use, only thorns not module yet. Exu she's great but i already have typhon, kroos alter and wisadel. So I just pick SA. because i'm lacking with reveal invis operator, eventho i already have scene with her module but its not enough. Idc if people said, SA fall down. maybe they already have ines or another meta operator so they dont feel suffer in CCBP#1 His module is good tho. Just dont compare his swing² with mlynar, He's too broken. U can skip SA if u dont like him, or u already have ines or scene and planning to get uncle in the shop in near future. I just bring both 😅
No shit SA will fall down just because mlynar deals more damage. My man SA can see invisible enemies and at least he can BLOCK when S3 is not active. 🎉🎉🎉
I'll say something unpopular thing but Mountain is overrated. Not because he struggles with high atk or def enemies but also being replaceable by vanguards. Mumu can do things better then anyone and in case you don't have her, the others can do the job too, especially with Myrtle's regen. And unlike Thorns Mountain can't hit aerial. In my case I only miss Mountain and Blaze. As for the Blaze, there's also many options to perform her job equal if not better then her. And I luckily got another one of these options, i.e. Ulpianus. So I'll wait until someone of these two come home then will take another one. My advise for newbies is to choose SA, cuz he could be you tank-lineholder with S2, dps with S3, reveal invis and make your mistakes not as harsh as they could be when your operators are defeated.
Have everyone already so I choose Thorns because he is the only one out of all of them I bring every time, especially when his Module buffed him alot. Value wise, it is probably Mountain or Exu that want the -1/-2 DP.
if you new to the game get silverash, he ain't niche if youre new unless you have wisadel or mlynar accidentally get silver ash he's the first meta defining operator in the game, i remember rerolling back in the day just to get him in beginner banner. if you newbie then you dont have a choice get silverash, delete button version 1. on god. then you can decide wether its thorns and saria or mountain, on new tutorial its mostly thorns and saria that gets picked, then mountain. you choose but if you newbie, most old levels require silverash, i mean most old tutorials on hard levels. saying he's niche for a newb is an disrespect when he's the only mlynar of the newbies😮💨
Incredibly out of all those, only one I consistently use is SA. He has better utility than most Lords and his S3 charges really fast. I like Mountain, but I used to pair him with a flagbearer early stage and thats what Ines is now for. And Thorns DPS is getting less and less relevant in the newer content since you basically need boss killing DPS half the stage.
I have all of them, so I picked Thorns pot 2 for his regen Talent. I used my 5* auto E2 and 5*Max lvl on Luna Cub, bc she looked useful with her Camouflage Talent and skill and I like her. Will use her in IS as well.
I have Thorns and Blaze. I missed my chance to get Mountain before. I think your assessment of Blaze is a bit off because she's efficient from beginning to mid game at the very least. Exusiai is efficient from early game but even struggles at mid-game. Saria and Thorn are efficient for the entire game. Silver Ash is efficient early to mid game as well.
I think for most people their priority would be: Exusiai < Silverash < Blaze < Mountain < Saria < Thorn Blaze is harder to get than Saria so I think some people would pick Blaze > Saria.
I picked exia since i already have thorns and i dont really need another solo lane guard like mountain. I dont need a nuker/dps like SA too bcuz i already have Wisadel, logos and mlynar. Maybe it was abit of a mistake to choose exia from the ticket cuz i was also in need of a better defender, my only defenders are either 4 star or welfare.
This was a very easy choice for me. Because only one of these was missing from my collection. Though I am less than sure when I will raise him to E2. It's SilverAsh, by the way.
To be honest, I chose Exusiai because I was missing her. I probably should've gotten a Thorns, Mountain, or Blaze pot, but I think my account is good enough for now.
I started AK early this year. Took one look at the beginner's banner and saw Thorns and _I knew_ he was the one. I didn't even know what he could do. Re-rolled my acc 6 times until I got him. He carried me in every stage. Plus being voiced by Kaito was huge! Always loved opening my app bc of him. I was just a casual player at the time, already logging out after 2-3 stages. AND THEN I got Thorns to E3. *The game suddenly became a lot more fun w/ his S3.* Then I got pulled deeper in the game, got addicted to it more, and now it's my Top 3 most favorite gacha games along w/ HSR and WuWa. This is just me, but if you're a newbie, you might find Thorns fun as well as helpful, _very_ helpful that I bring him in every stage and he gets the job done. A very well-balanced character that got me through the hard stages back before I didn't have a strong damage dealer. Or healer. Or sniper. Or caster. So logically speaking, I should get Mountain. I only lacked him, Saria, and Blaze. But when i tried to choose, it really didn't feel right. After this video, I realized... that I really frickin' love Thorns, after all. I'm picking him again! :D
Picking Saria. Personal likes aside I have Degen, Goldenglow, Chen Alter, Mlynar, Horn and Virtuousa, accidentally pulled Wisadel when I just wanted some certs to buy Schwarz, and just got Jessica Alter and Ulpianus. Since my first 6 star was Exusiai, there is no reason to go for the three most recommended
Was stuck between saria, blaze, or Mountain. Already have thorns, SA and Exu. Don't have a 6 star healing defender so I figured saria would be the best choice. I hope I didn't mess up lol
I already had SilverAsh built, so I didn't consider him and Thorns I have Wisadel so Exusiai wasn't a priority And I had enough laneholders, so I chose Saria
I'll pick anyone I don't have yet. My main don't have SA (also I don't have Ines too), second acc have all. My JP acc created this year so that one only have recent metas, no Shu and Asca. I should get Saria but I want Thorns for no reason.
my own PERSONAL opinion will go like this (in no order): 1. Default, Thorns (Lanehold extraordinaire, long range, partially arts dps with arts dot to brute force against high def enemies, hits air, self regen when idle, what more can you ask for) 2. If you have Thorns, then Saria (Trust me, even if you have Shu, having a 2nd healing defender at her caliber is just too good to ignore, not to mention she gives 2 SP to the operator she is healing) 3. Kyo's guide friendly pick, Blaze (I find myself constantly searching for Blaze and had to pick between her or Ifrit because Kyo likes to use them both, S2's extended reach to hold another lane across a wall is most likely going to prove very useful as well) 4. I'm picking Silverash over Mountain here because module update made him hit like a truck now (lets be honest, if you used Mlynar before then Silverash will be no stranger to you), also you'll find invisibility detection (with such a large range as well) quite useful once you get into late game, and you'll probably not have too much issue holding early lanes without Mountain especially if you have Ines or Myrtle + Pioneer Vanguard 5. Exu is kinda hard to use in late game where you'll be hitting min dmg against decently tanky enemies because the way damage works in this game (you prob need to babysit with warfarin with elysium s2), if its Sniper class that you need, we literally just had the most broken sniper banner like last month 💀 my opinion is not the end all be all, its just something i personally feel as a 11months player before I got them all from recruit and some planning to buy them from the shop, please pick them as you will 🗿
I like this. Although Thorns is also Kyo's Guide friendly. The only units I ever picked from support are either OP units like Chelter or Wisadel (to kill the boss faster), or its usually Thorns because Kyo usually mentions a good use for him.
@@schwarz8614 Saria is an amazing pick if you have at least one or two carry unit. Do not recommend Saria if your best damage dealer is Amiya Caster or something like that. Even SA S1 is good in that case. But if you have something like Wisadel, you don't need Thorns or SA (most of the time), Mountain or Saria is a better pick in that case.
I already have SilverAsh, so I ignored him and Thorns. Ignored Saria and Exusiai since I have Shu, Nearl, Wis'adel and Typhon. So it's between Mountain and Blaze. My brain was screaming Mountain, but my heart said Blaze, so...
I feel that if you already have some good damage dealing ops you should try Mountain bc his low dp allows for a little more different types of gameplay in comparison to if you got blaze? putting him down first and quickly being able to have solid laneholding is p great imo!
After 2 years of waiting. Thorns.

Mumu can do things better then anyone and in case you don't have her, the others can do the job too, especially with Myrtle's regen. And unlike Thorns Mountain can't hit aerial.
In my case I only miss Mountain and Blaze. As for the Blaze, there's also many options to perform her job equal if not better then her. And I luckily got another one of these options, i.e. Ulpianus. So I'll wait until someone of these two come home then will take another one.
My advise for newbies is to choose SA, cuz he could be you tank-lineholder with S2, dps with S3, reveal invis and make your mistakes not as harsh as they could be when your operators are defeated.
Finally got a decent Guard operator to use with Blaze. Was kinda low on options before using this to get her
When I have Thorns Alter, I'll get Thorns if I still don't get him, otherwise, I'll get other operators that I don't have in that time
after trying on every single mountain banner; **finally**, Mountain is mine
You could have just bought him with gold certs
me who have them all:
Nah just let it there for decorate :))
Same, just holding since no expiration date. Might use down the line if I need a -1 dp pot.
Have everyone already so I choose Thorns because he is the only one out of all of them I bring every time, especially when his Module buffed him alot. Value wise, it is probably Mountain or Exu that want the -1/-2 DP.
Juned alt leaks
Me: this is the sign to take juned
HG being generous 🙏
if you new to the game get silverash, he ain't niche if youre new unless you have wisadel or mlynar accidentally get silver ash he's the first meta defining operator in the game, i remember rerolling back in the day just to get him in beginner banner. if you newbie then you dont have a choice get silverash, delete button version 1. on god. then you can decide wether its thorns and saria or mountain, on new tutorial its mostly thorns and saria that gets picked, then mountain. you choose but if you newbie, most old levels require silverash, i mean most old tutorials on hard levels.
saying he's niche for a newb is an disrespect when he's the only mlynar of the newbies😮💨
For a new player Saria would be way more useful.
The Młynar of newbies is... Młynar. Support slot is right there.
(I'm not saying SilverAsh is bad, just your reasoning is weak.)
I bought SA from shop recently. His DPS is very weak for new content. Only his invis reveal is useful now. Or if you use fast redeploy strat.
@@witherwind33 Same
@@schwarz8614 yes can't argue with that and thorns too
Incredibly out of all those, only one I consistently use is SA. He has better utility than most Lords and his S3 charges really fast. I like Mountain, but I used to pair him with a flagbearer early stage and thats what Ines is now for. And Thorns DPS is getting less and less relevant in the newer content since you basically need boss killing DPS half the stage.
I was waiting for Greythroat, well looks like I'm gonna take Exusiai then
Chose Saria because I have at least 1 copy of Mountain, Exu, Silverash, Blaze, and Thorns. So that was a no brainer.
I have all of them, so I picked Thorns pot 2 for his regen Talent.
I used my 5* auto E2 and 5*Max lvl on Luna Cub, bc she looked useful with her Camouflage Talent and skill and I like her. Will use her in IS as well.
Tough pick between Thorns and Blaze for me, I got the other 4 already.
My SilverAsh is already full potential so I will probably pick either Blaze or Mountain.
thorn obvious
that dude is just bred different
Exusiai because waifu over meta
i have everyone but exusiai.. which for some reason she refuses to come home to me. Now I have her T^T
I picked Saria to keep things alive to kill more things. I have no regrets. (also her shield looks cool 👉👈)
I just picked exia since she was one of my favorites
I have Thorns and Blaze. I missed my chance to get Mountain before.
I think your assessment of Blaze is a bit off because she's efficient from beginning to mid game at the very least.
Exusiai is efficient from early game but even struggles at mid-game.
Saria and Thorn are efficient for the entire game.
Silver Ash is efficient early to mid game as well.
I think for most people their priority would be:
Exusiai < Silverash < Blaze < Mountain < Saria < Thorn
Blaze is harder to get than Saria so I think some people would pick Blaze > Saria.
I picked exia since i already have thorns and i dont really need another solo lane guard like mountain. I dont need a nuker/dps like SA too bcuz i already have Wisadel, logos and mlynar. Maybe it was abit of a mistake to choose exia from the ticket cuz i was also in need of a better defender, my only defenders are either 4 star or welfare.
Finally i can have Thorns... I already have mountain and now with Thorns, The Game gonna be easy
Mountain.he's the only one i didnt have
I FINALLY CAN HAVE THORN AND AFKNIGHT GRAHHH
This was a very easy choice for me. Because only one of these was missing from my collection. Though I am less than sure when I will raise him to E2. It's SilverAsh, by the way.
I had to make hard decision not picking Silverash(the only one I didn't have) cause I needed that 10 gold certs for Ebenholz
To be honest, I chose Exusiai because I was missing her. I probably should've gotten a Thorns, Mountain, or Blaze pot, but I think my account is good enough for now.
Always new operator over a pot.
I started AK early this year. Took one look at the beginner's banner and saw Thorns and _I knew_ he was the one. I didn't even know what he could do. Re-rolled my acc 6 times until I got him. He carried me in every stage. Plus being voiced by Kaito was huge! Always loved opening my app bc of him. I was just a casual player at the time, already logging out after 2-3 stages. AND THEN I got Thorns to E3. *The game suddenly became a lot more fun w/ his S3.* Then I got pulled deeper in the game, got addicted to it more, and now it's my Top 3 most favorite gacha games along w/ HSR and WuWa. This is just me, but if you're a newbie, you might find Thorns fun as well as helpful, _very_ helpful that I bring him in every stage and he gets the job done. A very well-balanced character that got me through the hard stages back before I didn't have a strong damage dealer. Or healer. Or sniper. Or caster.
So logically speaking, I should get Mountain. I only lacked him, Saria, and Blaze. But when i tried to choose, it really didn't feel right. After this video, I realized... that I really frickin' love Thorns, after all. I'm picking him again! :D
Picked Mountain. 👍 Can get Blaze on Recruitment if lucky wasn't confident about Silver Ash. So yeah.
Picking Saria. Personal likes aside I have Degen, Goldenglow, Chen Alter, Mlynar, Horn and Virtuousa, accidentally pulled Wisadel when I just wanted some certs to buy Schwarz, and just got Jessica Alter and Ulpianus. Since my first 6 star was Exusiai, there is no reason to go for the three most recommended
I had everyone except Blaze.
Soooooo~ Blaze It is!
Thorns + Stainless = SP problem solved
Me over here with all six options already pot 6
AHEM
I had four of them already, I chose silverash. He is one of them.
I just got the yellow certs on saria cuz shes the only one i actually like
Went with Thorns cause it was the only one i didnt have in almsot 4 years lmao
i wish nightingale was also an option
Wanted Exia really bad but free guaranteed Thorn is too good to skip, hes just too good
Thorns and Exusial from CC#4 i Miss... Finnaly i have one of them
I already have everybody in there except for mountain so I end up gone Mountain
Was stuck between saria, blaze, or Mountain. Already have thorns, SA and Exu. Don't have a 6 star healing defender so I figured saria would be the best choice. I hope I didn't mess up lol
same, i have no 6 star healing defender lmao. i choose saria, now i don't have to depend on always using gummy haha
You guys don't have Gummy? Either way, Saria is not a bad choice. But Mountain is definitely the best option here imo
Even better, mountain paired with saria, those two will be top lineholders.
tfw you have all of them and cant decide either to get a potential upgrade or ez 6* token to convert in yellow cert shop.
Global release player
Finally blaze
I already had SilverAsh built, so I didn't consider him and Thorns
I have Wisadel so Exusiai wasn't a priority
And I had enough laneholders, so I chose Saria
I'll pick anyone I don't have yet. My main don't have SA (also I don't have Ines too), second acc have all.
My JP acc created this year so that one only have recent metas, no Shu and Asca. I should get Saria but I want Thorns for no reason.
Finally getting Mountain as my only missing six star feels like getting the last infinity stone.
Finally mountain coming home, now i can change afk gladia to afk mountain
Nah time for AFK abyssal hunter
Im getting mountain. I played since the beginning n i just got thorns from the free recruitment
Whell no questions just pick Saria the meta tank since arknignts release
Pick none and horde the tickets
Only missing Blaze
my own PERSONAL opinion will go like this (in no order):
1. Default, Thorns (Lanehold extraordinaire, long range, partially arts dps with arts dot to brute force against high def enemies, hits air, self regen when idle, what more can you ask for)
2. If you have Thorns, then Saria (Trust me, even if you have Shu, having a 2nd healing defender at her caliber is just too good to ignore, not to mention she gives 2 SP to the operator she is healing)
3. Kyo's guide friendly pick, Blaze (I find myself constantly searching for Blaze and had to pick between her or Ifrit because Kyo likes to use them both, S2's extended reach to hold another lane across a wall is most likely going to prove very useful as well)
4. I'm picking Silverash over Mountain here because module update made him hit like a truck now (lets be honest, if you used Mlynar before then Silverash will be no stranger to you), also you'll find invisibility detection (with such a large range as well) quite useful once you get into late game, and you'll probably not have too much issue holding early lanes without Mountain especially if you have Ines or Myrtle + Pioneer Vanguard
5. Exu is kinda hard to use in late game where you'll be hitting min dmg against decently tanky enemies because the way damage works in this game (you prob need to babysit with warfarin with elysium s2), if its Sniper class that you need, we literally just had the most broken sniper banner like last month 💀
my opinion is not the end all be all, its just something i personally feel as a 11months player before I got them all from recruit and some planning to buy them from the shop, please pick them as you will 🗿
I like this. Although Thorns is also Kyo's Guide friendly. The only units I ever picked from support are either OP units like Chelter or Wisadel (to kill the boss faster), or its usually Thorns because Kyo usually mentions a good use for him.
Saria over Thorns anytime.
Thorns hasnt been that useful for a long time.
And most of the time Mountain is a better lane holder than Blaze.
@@schwarz8614 Saria is an amazing pick if you have at least one or two carry unit. Do not recommend Saria if your best damage dealer is Amiya Caster or something like that. Even SA S1 is good in that case. But if you have something like Wisadel, you don't need Thorns or SA (most of the time), Mountain or Saria is a better pick in that case.
@@schwarz8614 Thorns is pretty much the MOST useful if you like AFK gaming. But other than that, Mountain would be the best pick
I already have SilverAsh, so I ignored him and Thorns. Ignored Saria and Exusiai since I have Shu, Nearl, Wis'adel and Typhon. So it's between Mountain and Blaze. My brain was screaming Mountain, but my heart said Blaze, so...
blaze with module is a game changer. go for it!
I feel that if you already have some good damage dealing ops you should try Mountain bc his low dp allows for a little more different types of gameplay in comparison to if you got blaze? putting him down first and quickly being able to have solid laneholding is p great imo!
You have all top operators already. No point in worrying about these 6 free ones. Only get them for collection purposes or AFK strats.
thx for the video
