Sand Reckoner Is Actually Useful (Yes, Seriously)

- AS-EX-7 CM: 5* Bird Operators only (4 ops)
Sand Reckoner is a, ah, extremely undertuned operator. His summons each have equivalent stats to Durin (the 2* caster) and die in 3-4 hits against any ranged enemy. He can't really spam them due to having the wrong module, and his overall damage output is low and made even worse if the enemy has even a little RES.
What he can do, however, is be a summoner in a sub-niche with no summoners. Even the crappiest summons can be placed anywhere, and with a little micromanagement S2 becomes a constant slow for the entire 20 second duration. In a map where slows I have to slow all the actually threatening enemies while Pluma and Astgenne murder almost everything else, global slow presence from Sand Reckoner is irreplaceable. Without him I'd have to either stall the big cat or add more birds to burst it down.
Do note that this map is basically his perfect use case. Not sure how common maps like this will be in the future lmao

Maybe he needs a cave and some scraps to make his summons better
Great idea. Sent him to mine the rocks. Maybe he will be useful
SAND RECKONER WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE
WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS
Thumbnail by me, because executing a funny thumbnail idea is more important than playing the S stages
Anyways it's been like 50 days since the last AK video, sorry about that. Dead week into 2 consecutive reruns into Endfield beta will do that to you. But now I'm getting back around to hyperfixating on random Arknights maps!
if something is funny
any and all potential downsides/adverse effects/dire consequences are nullified
trust 🔥🔥🔥
Peak video thumbnail 👀🔥🔥🔥
Hawk tuah
I should raise my Grainbuddy.
holy shit he's sanding
The sand is reckoning
it's a shame that his summon is almost useless except for stalling
they have the cutest attack animation
Undertuned he may be, having 4 orchids is still better than nothing. Also yet another goated thumbnail.
Cutting it close!! I had to at the very least max E1 Sand Reckoner, his birds were just too cute to leave him at E0.
Awesome thumbnail! Even better clear
Sander has got to be one of the most unfortunate operator nicknames, it's up there with Salter imo
Being able to summon 5 Durins is peak though
Sander rolls off the tongue better than just Reckoner imo
poor Pozëmka got her alter idea stolen
Grain buds EN voice is like Papyrus JP voice but not irritating to listen to
clicked for the thumbnail, it was hilarious. anyway, great video! i doubt i'd ever raise him which is a shame cause his design is so cool.
The summons may be weak and fragile, but they’re adorable..!

The second you said sand reckoner useful I turned off my brain while I looked at this
Sand Reckoner was, indeed, sand reckoning, but Grain Buds was graining and budding to the max 👏 awesome clear!!
My heart wouldn’t be able to take the blue box edging. Borrowed W Alter paired with Stainless S2 for peace of mind
burden of power
La Pluma is actually the best at slowing. She slows enemies to a complete stop, permanently! Yet another reason why La Pluma is the best operator in the game and fills every role, as a jack of all trades, master of everything
Thank you for the Sandy Showcase! Recently I just finished his Module and I have no Regrets.
Undertuned or not?
This design is 100% My Aesthetic
Pluma :( Nice showcase! I was wondering what your idea was when I heard you talking about it on stream haha
The bird enjoyer has returned, woo!! Superb clear, partner!
It would have made sense for many of the event enemies to be considered Machine type enemies, which he would have liked but I guess this is the only win he's allowed. Like come on the wagons are referred to as constructs? Why aren't they considered Machines... :(
Bro’s the biggest birb 😂
well, at least there's a use for him
it's insane how we went from cantabile to poncirus to sand reckoner though. guess hg took inspiration from genshin and made a Horus-inspired character undertuned(see: candace)
Always the egyptian gods characters getting the f, at this point genshin needs to give Cyno some god-like module too (instead of calling it "balanced")
If that’s the case, there might be hope he’ll get buffed or be useful(Because Candace is unironically useful after a certain character’s release)
Ehh? Furina?@@Eclin
@@aintailstweentales7964 Carnelian could also use a buff. Ironically depending on what you need, her little sister Beeswax is better.
@@geethaprem580Father is probably the one they refer to (idk how to spell her name)
Candace can buff her a bit and with C6 (and ONLY at C6) she can apply enough off field hydro to let Father vape all of her attack
Now Yelan, Xingqiu, Furina exist but Yelan and Xingqiu off field app is not the best in aoe and they can be use in other team while Furina has anti synergy with Father
And if anything Candace is pretty nice in for bloom team (so only Nilou team lol)
And yes Candace at C6 has off field hydro and can also be use in Mavuika team if you want to vape with Mavuika but Yelan/Furina is better for that
Ass or not, Summoner is still Summoner in low member team lmao
Lol this is basically a grain buds showcase. Makes me want to raise her now even though I have max Suzaran 😅
I literally raised sleepknights member as a newbie and not knowing most bosses immune to sleep lmao. I raised Grain Buds, Erato, Iris, and Blacknight. Missing some but I pretty satisfied lol
When I first saw how crappy Ling's S2 summons were, I feared for the day they'd release a 5* with those ☠️☠️💀
I actually don't know what this squad do except La Pluma 😂
Dk who this op is but his borbs are so cute
"The main threat of the map, the fat cat, requires a lot of slows"
Me, that use W'alter to nuke it to oblivion the micro-second it shows up : "Lol. Lmao, even. Rofl, if you will."
Life’s hard with a low DPS niche
He actually sanding
sander 💀💀
enter sandman
brooOO ASTGENNE SKIN RERUN WHEEEENNNNNN
also the lunacub skin i meant to get then just happened to not play when it was available :DDDD
holy shit grain buds is adORABLE
Grain Buddy awesome
Quickquickquick!
Papyrus was an instant e2 for me. So what if shes a worse Perfumer?
What am I gonna do with my mats, EAT THEM??
nice thumbnail
To me he reminds me of Vigil because on paper his kit should be good but his numbers are a bit too low still built him for maleknights runs in IS though
With a few tweaks he’d be a lot more usable. A little lower SP cost on s2 and make that increase ASPD instead of summon ATK, make his summons slow on hit by default, give him mod Y instead of mod X… it wouldn’t change his damage output, but at least the crowd control would be much better.
KOREAN LA PLUMA?
Yeah it’s pretty cute
@Pengod hell yeah.
sand reckoner was very powerful in this clear
Send this to kukkikaze
p e a k
god why is sand reckoner so bad why is gryphline so racist why is namie racist there are so many questions that AS brings up and it has the displeasure of occupying the same letterspace as Ambience Synesthesia, which also had a racist theme once
idk what he's on about but it's probably true!!!
when someone said something you lowkey agree with but in such an obnoxious way so you don't fw it
your heart is in the right place, but I had a stroke trying to read that 😭 I do agree, though, this event is.. questionable at best, as well as a few other decisions by HG in regards to Sargon. the way they treat the entire region is kinda more and more reminiscent of another popular gacha game, not to be named..
I agree with you. Every other low rarity summoner, including Mayer are at least adequate. I was so excited to see Sand Reckoner when he released because of his artstyle and kit. Fab knight explained very well in his nw 5 star ranking video about how bad he is. Heck, his summons even cost way more dp than Lings with her module and has no summon refresh/recycle. They did my bro dirty 😢
