  • @HonakoGreen
    @HonakoGreen 5 ปีที่แล้ว +73

    This is very inaccurate. Inshun isn't bad, but he isn't amazing either. Yes if you buff stack you can get massive crits. But only after doing 2+ NPs that do 0 damage. Other units can NP twice quickly with the same kinda of support Inshun needs, and have already done the damage he can do with crits.
    Also having used Inshun a crap load on both budget and none budget teams. he is extremely inconsistent. Sometimes you NP and you just don't get his cards or crits on the right cards in order to loop. The only way to make him even half way consistent is to use a SUPER whale setup. At which point their isn't much reason to use him.
    I am always seeing people say Inshun is amazing. But never do anything that amazing with him. Meanwhile all the players that actually know how to do 1-3 star stuff almost never use him for anything. because he just isn't that great. Yes you can use Waver / Skadi to buff stack him and crit super hard. But you can do that with lots of units. And more consistently. Saying he is a Cu killer is laughable.
    The one truly good thing about Inshun is he can stuck pile damage. For example if there's trash mobs before a major boss you can start ramping up and stall a bit on the trash. Where another Lancer might be able to double NP easily but NPing the trash is worthless and doesn't lead to more damage to the boss later.
    He is a budget Lancer that's awful on budget teams. And decent on whale teams.

    • @GAReviews
      @GAReviews  5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I don't think it's inaccurate. Most lancers can't NP as quickly as Inshun can unless you have supports there to act as batteries. His crits hit for as much as a ST NP in some instances as well so if you are lucky enough to say get a triple quick brave chain that crits you can deal incredible damage with just Inshun's buffs alone.
      I agree he is inconsistent, but I think there is a difference between efficiency and practicality. I can see why he wouldn't be used much in challenges where people are trying to be highly efficient, because every turn matters and Inshun is too random. But in terms of practicality he can hold up well in even the toughest fights and get your through them reliably. And these spotlights are judging practicality, not efficiency
      For the most part, even though he is heavily dependent on crits, if you have an additional star generator and give him a star absorb CE you shouldn't have as much of an issue with consistency. And keep in mind he's a 3*, outside of Cu, I'd say he easily is beats every other 3* lancer and most 4* lancers so that's saying a lot already.

    • @HonakoGreen
      @HonakoGreen 5 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      @@GAReviews I use him a lot with and without OP supports. And without Waver/Skadi he doesn't NP that easily. And then after NPing you don't always get his cards let alone crit. And aftre a single NP his crits do not match a good ST NP.
      After 2 NPs they do. But after all that time and prep just about anyone could do that damage. The proof is in the pudding. There really aren't any practical examples of him doing anything other Lancers can't especially on budget teams. But I can link you countless CQ videos of Cu and other Lancers putting him to shame.
      he is a very fun unit. But he isn't practical at all. And is absolutely bad on budget teams. There is a reason all the good 1-3 star Players don't use him often. But still use Cu for almost every Archer boss. Also Herc and Cu are light years ahead of him solo wise. I can link countless solos Cu can do that Inshun doesn't even get close to doing.
      Random examples. LB4 Tree, Gozen CQ from Setsubun and Godjuna. On the flip side their isn't a single boss Inshun has soloed Cu can't

    • @AtelierGod
      @AtelierGod 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honako Green I personally think from their kits that Proto Cú seems to be the better Crit lancer with having a quick np and the possibility to quick brave chain of it, it might’ve been better if he had Inshun’s deck but having both a Crit buff and a star Absorb is certainly putting him above Inshun in my mind.

    Hes definitely fun to use and all, but id say another issue of his, aside from the RNG soberoni addressed, is that you still lose the value of ST NP damage, and the only way you really become able to match that value with his kit is if you have two of the NP crit buffs up at the same time.

    First off, hes a great unit for sure with some of the highest ceiling of power for 3 stars but personally I think he's way too reliant on supports to be S rank, the amount of time you have to take to set him up could be spent by equivalent units just actually doing damage with nps and some times you just get bad card luck. And people talk about solos, but cu can solo anything he can and many things that he has no chance at.

    For the fun fact, Inshun and Cu are polar opposites.
    Inshun is meant for Crit DPS teams, if you get lucky, he can NP back-to-back on his NPQA chains if he crits on his two face cards on Archers/Zerkers and keep his buffs going and stacking. That said, that's also perhaps his biggest team problems, he needs at least two cards per turn (NP and/or face) to keep up and he needs crits. That said, his DPS if he can get going with his NP and crits skyrockets into high 4* tier. His inability to survive without support is a good way to prevent him from snapping every boss fight, a one time Evade is kind of disappointing but it still helps. His skills also need to be carefully pre-planned, don't use his Star Drop buff unless you can get at least two Quick Cards from him or you get a Brave Chain for just him. Use his third skill only if you need to stop an enemy from NP'ing on their upcoming turn when you're sure you can get his own NP back up first before that happens. That said, Hans and Star Gen CEs can make Inshun work on theoretically any non-Buster team, f2p or p2p, just keep in mind that he's super dependent on his crits and NP.
    Cu is a survivalist, perhaps the premiere example of such alongside Herc with his Strengthening Quest update. Outside of his rarity gimping his Attack, Cu's only weakness are bulky Sabers/Rulers/Zerkers, anything with Buff Removal and/or Sure Hit/Invul Pierce. For that, just don't use him for anything that gets around his Protection from Arrows as that's his key skill. Cu can be a solo unit for anything that doesn't counter his skill kit and doesn't hold a class advantage over him at the same time. Cu can also be a good team semi-DPS (I say this because Cu's heavily defensive and his only offensive traits are his first skill upgraded and his NP) thanks to his NP ignoring Evade after being strengthened and lowering the target's Defense if it doesn't insta-kill, making it good for starting an NP chain against anyone with a one-hit Evade. Contrasting Inshun who's best in a crit team and card reliant, Cu's more balanced.
    Also, since both of them have Sure Hit (Inshun on his first skill and Cu on his upgraded NP), their Evades are practically worthless against each other and Cu's only advantage is Guts (which is amazing on someone who has a 3-hit Evade on a 5-turn CD). Who is better is vastly determined based on what you're trying to accomplish. In team comps, Cu has 'better' synergy thanks to not relying on crits or NP spam as well as being able to survive longer in general without support but he will need help generating NP due to his 'meh' NP gain and single Art Card. Inshun will somewhat outclass Cu in DPS in battles where one's team is strictly focused on crits as that's Inshun's gimmick, NP crit looping as he has overall better Star Gen and NP gain compared to Cu. You're deciding between hardcore offense (Inshun) or balanced combat (Cu). 8/10, you'd normally want Cu as he's just that busted for a 3* Servant in the FP banner. On the rare occasions where you're up against an Archer or Zerker boss who lacks a way punish Evade spamming loopers, Inshun can pull off some pretty impressive stunts and shred their HP bars like paper once he gets going as he can always get his one-time Evade back up...if he survives.

    Found this a few months later lol. Houzouin is an interesting character as he is just about perfect as a main damage dealer for the old quick crit team. Where you had a main damage dealer, a burst turn damage with good one turn buffs, and a star generator. Only issue being that merlin and break bars make this team less relevant and houzouin shows up after all this occurs. Resulting in a newer meta of bosses that are built with similar high damage output in mind and for a longer fight than the team can often sustain....

      That can be mitigated some if you're keeping track of card cycles, then it's just about making sure he has stars. Cu will always be the better anchor and soloer, he's the king for good reason. At least Inshun has the huge numbers he can puke out going for him, something to make his playstyle fun and different, something Cu just can't do.

    While I won’t get directly involved in the Cú vs Hozoin discussion in regards to combat viability, I will say that as a spectator and content creator, a Hozoin video-solo, setup, etc-is a lot more novel than Yet Another Cú Solo™️. Not that those don’t have their audience, but they’re dime a dozen, even outside the Honako sphere, that the novelty has long since worn off. With that awareness set, players can watch videos based on individual units and make judgments based on that. Cú certainly has efficiency down pat, but Hozoin has the perks of a unorthodox kit and being under-represented from a content standpoint, adding more of a fun factor for viewers and theorycrafters alike.
    With that out of the way, I’m of the camp that thinks a “best budget Servants” starter guide is a great idea for new players coming in late. If you’re not worried about spoiling content, you can even take the opportunity to give brief summaries of upcoming low-rarity Servants of note, if it will save you the effort of full reviews later down the line.

    While at most times I would agree that having evades that lasts hits rather than turns is usually more effective, but if it’s just 1 I actually think that 1 turn is more effective at that time, especially since bosses who uses death since many of them have a partner that attacks before their Noble Phantasm so his 1 time evade will be lost and he’ll probably take more damage than his HP can withstand.
