Great video. Only thing I (slightly) disagree on is IS. While I do agree that putting it off until you have a more mature roster is a good idea, the monthly squad missions are super easy, fairly quick, and give really good rewards for a new player.
I just started Arknights but I'm so overwhelmed, I wonder if there's a guide here? Oh cool a well-made 30 something minute video detaling everything in the game! The 20:41 grippers incident:
9:34 small correction You actually get 2 vouchers after 100/250 recruitments which you can redeem for either Vulcan or Indra so you can get a copy of each ^^ (Not sure about the exact numbers but it's in that range )
I've been playing Arknights casually since 2020, yet I'm still not max level. Hahahaha! I still play it from time to time, and farm and slowly build my operators whenever I'm free. I have a vast collection of them which is a joy. It's not a race. Just pull for the operator you want and max them if you want.
I'd advise new players who want to speedrun through the game on easy mode to find someone with Ling (Mastery 3, Mod 3), especially once you get your first E2. Ling's biggest flaw is the fact that using her summons means you're not using your other operators, and even with that flaw she's still strong. Meanwhile new players have few strong operators so if you're not using your other operators it doesn't mean that much.
Woah, thanks for the guide, i got interested of the game because i saw a r6s collab in my recommendation so i started playing this game, so far ive been enjoying the game slowly and just saving orundum stuff and until the collab happen so i can use all my orundum on it and hopefully got the collab units! (I only headhunt 1 times for the free 6 stars and got mountain and he is been really helpful for my team 😊)
@@kevinseraphin5456 thanks, and quick question is ce'en good? I got her from the recruitment when I choose the golden tag called top operator and a nuker(cause it sound cool) and I got her so now I got 2 six stars guard! Edit: oh and who should I upgrade first mountain or ce'en?
@@YorokobeSinners I'd say Mountain would probably make your life easier and he require less investment, Ch'en is good in specific scenario but need high investment and be paired with a buffer to at her peak at her role, wich is mostly killing boss with annoying mechanics realy fast, The issue is that there are a lots of character nowaday that can do that, and most are better, but she get the job done still. And there's a character that will release in 1-2 month that's from the same archetype, with similar skill and that completely overshadows her in every way.
Only thing i'd like to say: Skins>Pulls anytime! Arknights is one of the very few games that enables you to have nearly all the skins you want while being f2p, while if you use your OP to do a 10 pull if i'm not mistaken it costs 33-ish, thats almost 2 SKINS, and you're only getting a blue bag anyway. Buy the pretty skins you like, you get more than enought pulls doing the usual stuff, you can get most of the characters you want without spendind OP. Also, don't get fixated too much on limited banners, pull on who you like regardless, many get swept in the hype for limited and end up only... seeing worth in the game every 4~6months.
The reason why everyone is fixated on limited banners is because all your pulls will be wasted if you don't get the limited 6* as pity doesn't even carry over, and the spark of 300 is incredibly difficult to reach for most F2P players. Is it really players' fault for doing this when the gacha system is the one that's flawed and offers virtually zero safety net for players? At least lower the spark and/or allow it to carry over like how Nikke does its mileage system. I don't doubt that some people will defend this ridiculous gacha system by saying "but the rates are high and you don't need dupes". Regardless, 300 is unreasonable and don't forget that getting old limited operators is heavily RNG-dependent so there's massive FOMO for pulling. 2% rate isn't exactly amazing either and there's a lot of RNG involved in getting the operator you actually want. There's clearly room for improvement but HG just refuses to give a shit and everyone's somehow ok with it.
This is the prove Arknights is a good game. 5th anniversary on china server we still have rookie guide. Everyone like it. Give it a try and become doctor you won't regret it.
I'm level 36 and I pretty much forgot how to play the game after quitting for a few months because this game is quite conplicated. I decided to try it out again. Thanks for this
damn, seeing this makes me want to start over lmao Here's my tip, if you want to improve your playstyle and not being reliant on strategy vids i suggest you to play integration strategies a lot of times, it's like killing two birds in one stone, you learn the game and you get the rewards by playing it a lot.
2021 to 2023 AK player here. I didn’t really get into it however till early 2022. One tip I can give is to try and experiment with your team layout. Just keep trying until you understand the enemy mechanics and map layout. I tried following guides but I didn’t learn how the game worked until later on when I tried it myself. It becomes much more enjoyable when you understand how to use your operators effectively for sure.
I'm not a beginner but i wanna help since i've never seen anyone covering this. 1. Focus all your attention in your base. Watch guides. 2-2-5 is the best design imo. 2. It's really easy to farm 300 pulls in the beginning, there's plenty of past events and chapters to do so. Once you have 300 you wait for a rerun on the shop of past limited operators then you go all in for them. Ch'en alter and Skadi alter are the best options there. 3. Refrain from pulling in regular banner unless both operators are S+ tier. You better off saving pulls for limited banners while sniping operators with yellow certificates from the shop.

As such I would recommend a few 3 stars as a first build, kroos, ansel, cardigan, orchid, midnight, a few 4 stars, Myrtle, pudding, perfumer, may, mousse, gummy, coura. but raising your higher rarity is not a bad idea, if you have the materials from some event or something, they are much more valuable in the long run, and running the IS2 and IS3 its not difficult to actually get large quantities of materials for promotion.
Quick question, why my range operator always get targeted by ranged enemy ? On 19:58 almost all range enemy range targeting the defender insted range operator.
Good Question , Enemies Always Target Last Deployed Operator For Example If You Deploy Sniper/Caster , Then You Deploy Defender , Ranged Enemies will Focus on Last Deployed Operator [ Your Defender/Guard or Any Melee Operator ]
in the "what to farm part" you say not to farm Integrated strategy, and I personaly desagree. Yeah as a new player you will struggle a lots going far in it, but it's deffinitly possible to clear floor 2 even reach the florr 3 boss with just a borrowed units and 3stars, especialy IS2 where mountain alone solo the first 2 floors, and the reward are INSANE for a new player, dude it's 20k LMD for the first level is massive for a new player, something you reach even if you don't clear floor 2... Same with the monthly squad, these shit have insane reward that boost your progression so much, and the clear condition are usualy pretty doable, imagine doing a run. So IMO doing a run once in a while help a tone.
Thumb up for re-roll tip. Only wish I knew when I started. You didn't mention Oyuki's guides. Every player should gave his guides one peek. They were all in Japanese, but with numbers showing deployment order and arrows indicating facing. Makes following his guides very easy.
4:14 "very good job with balancing" - Wi'sadle - *choke choke* (just watching for fun) But anyway, very good video from you for new players 24:15 if they follow your tip and buying all the event shops, then tehy dont need to farm SSS, I never farm them and have more module mats than I can spend 25:40 if you do correctly, you can farm orundum , not full time, but in convertion phase, u gett up to 600 Orundum per day from base (depends wich ops you use and how often u collect per day)
Beating 1-10 for events is only most events mind, some require 3-8 if i remember right. And with the next Limited we get x2 redcert Operators. Should also go over why you can get early access to chapter 9 (so you can farm mats needed for Operators added later on).
19:54 You are damn right, I'm here because I'm I've been stuck in chapter 3 stage FOR ALMOST A YEAR, with uninstall and reinstall overtimes to try again.
I would mention that you shouldn't upgrade the Office in the base past lv1, as it permanently locks you out of the best base configurations later on (and the benefits of an upgraded Office are miniscule). Not a huge deal for people who aren't trying to min-max though.
@WhimCh Do you mean the Control Center? Cause I ubgraded it yesterday. What exactly does it lock me into after ubgrading it to level 2? (Sorry for the bad English)
@mliamgroot7785 the control center is something you want to upgrade. The Office is the one that only gives you additional recruitment slots and speeds up tag refreshes
@@WhimCh Oh ok. Now I know what you meant. I'm new to Arknights so sorry if I have mixed something up. It sound like you have many experience with playing and progressing in Arknights. I currently stuck in chapter 3. Is there any solution that you could give me? Mine was to ubgrade all of my charackter to level 30 and then figure out a way to beat further levels/stages in chapter 3.
The type of a beginner guide after which I have more questions than before... I will just go play the game and when I brick my first account come back here I guess
I returned to arknights after dropping it in 2020-ish, and I returned today, only to find it is level 4, has three 6 stars, and then 5 stars. AND MOST OF THEM WAS AT MAX LEVEL. but the stages were still on 2 stars, but nonetheless I got a lot of originium from the uncompleted stages
small nitpick, I would have tried to avoid showing any skins at all until the skin section, and just set everyone to their default skin in the meantime.
12:26 , hell no i've been f2p since day 1 of my acc 2020/5/1, and to this day i still only use my op for skins and i have not bought a single level pack. I still got majority of the 6 star operators without spending any op and almost everyone that is e2 in my acc has skin, I even have multiple skins for operators like surtr,mudrock and more. Wasting your're hard earned OP on pulls especially if you use like 36(?) of it for a single multi just for you to get a blue bag is not a fun time trust me. But sure if you need to use like a couple of op to maybe reach that pity or maybe if you are just starting and want more operator in your roster then sure go on. But if you play this game because of the aesthetics highly recommend not using you're op to anything but skins.
I think I started a month ago? Or 2? I re-rolled 6 times to get Thorns simply bc I loved his design more than anyone else. He's been carrying me since then and I really love using him (plus his JP VA is one of my favs). Now, even tho I figured it might've been bad, I've been trying to pull for Leonhardt in Kernel (cause of his JP VA lol). Is he really just there or is it okay to pull for other banners for a tiny chance to get him? I really want him but his name wasn't on any banners except for Kernel. Maybe I should've watched this sooner. I realized I'm having a very slow progress in Arknights. RN I'm focusing on leveling my characters up and their talents bc yes, I did think I was too low leveled in the current stages I'm clearing. The dumb me never thought there were different kinds of damages like physical and stuff. I kept using my shielders against those huge bozos and my dumb just realized I could've used mages. This guide is really helpful. I figured a lot of things myself but I realized I never paid attention to the ones that mattered lmao! Thanks!
Warfarin is not as good as a medic, there are better options, but she is very good for buffing (+90% atk). She and Skalter are the best buffers in the game
hey i really love the way u explain things... can u make a video about returning player n 2024... the changes in this game is overwhelming after 3 years
18op+ skins also means in game effects change. And while i agree that texas is indeed free later its only after you have already e2 ops and a module and other things so unless you want to use texas, an early flametail or courier are both good to upgrade. Id also clarify that once the base is done it takes less then a minute to collect and swap out fatigued ops. Just so they dont think it takes forever once its done. Other then that its a great video.
Honestly, for a new F2P account, Id recommend the following: Mountain > Thorns > Archetto > Flametail. The other 6* are good for sure, but they require their E2 to be optimal while Mountain only needs E1 to get his best skill and it doesn't need to be M3 to make him useful for a new account. Archetto is also very good, but Thorns can also lane hold and is also ranged but he also suffers from needing his E2 to make him really good as his E2 skill is really the only skill you should be using with him. I would also disagree on IS. IS is 100% worth doing especially if you have a few high level friends that have Mountain or Thorns. You can use them to help crutch through probably the early stages in Crimson and and Mizuki which will help get you basically free material/LMD/cosmetics. I wouldn't say to spend hours grinding it, but new players that are at least a little along should be trying to do it once in a while for an injection of stuff. SS however is 100% skippable to anyone that does not have a really strong roster and is pushing to get all of the modules for every operator and get them to level 3. New accounts 100% don't need to pay any attention to this for a long time. Just my two cents though, overall very informative guide!
I am a veteran player and if they add an auto swap teams for the base i will come back cx Yes doing that task everyday make me quit for the monotony(only the base thing the rest of the game is hyper fun :D) xddd Also i aprove this guide, i couldnt say everything any better :D
Hi someone has hacked an Arknights channel and erased most of the original videos does anyone knows what to do? The channel's name was changed to Mei Official the channel has 13k subscriptions
I have a question, what's the difference between intermezzo, side stories and record restoration? I got Flamebringer (a mistake I know) and Bena from the record restoration but what do the other two do? because I assumed I would need to play stages to get those operators but no I just had to claim them after watching some cutscenes so what's the difference?
2 Esdras 7:75 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 //////////////
hey there I've comeback to arknight just recently and little bit confused about newer stuff is there any guide for players that coming back to the game ?
Hey I'm a newbie and have a question and I hope that someone can help me Is there right now a way to get Lumen and Bibeak? All guides say they are wellfare operators but there is no record restoration for stultifera navis. I already unlocked Gladia the same way. Is there any other operator you can recommend that you can get for free?
there are lots of operatos that you can obtain for free. You said that you got gladiia in record resotration, you can get lumen the same way; stultifers navis has is there. others in record restoration is sideroca, heavyrain, and silence alter. in the side storys, by 3 staring the first few stages you can get a free 5 star that is only obtainable in the side story. You cam get grani, ceylon, bison, folinic, tomimi, whislash, robin, lava alter, tequila, and wild mane.
@@kyoki8164 the problem with some of these operators is that althought I unlocked their side story/ intermezzi with the disks, there is no record restoration to unlock them. I played stultifera navis till SN-5, all 3 stars, but there is no record restoration and every guide says that you can already unlock him at SN-4. Do I miss something?
I just started playing Arknights, oddly hecause of the story and lore as well as the music and the graphic design. I really am not that fond of tower defense hut AK surprised me with its depth.

The monthly squad mission I agree cause you only really need the operator they give you to complete it, monthly quest tho is a pain

1. Focus all your attention in your base. Watch guides. 2-2-5 is the best design imo.
2. It's really easy to farm 300 pulls in the beginning, there's plenty of past events and chapters to do so. Once you have 300 you wait for a rerun on the shop of past limited operators then you go all in for them. Ch'en alter and Skadi alter are the best options there.
3. Refrain from pulling in regular banner unless both operators are S+ tier. You better off saving pulls for limited banners while sniping operators with yellow certificates from the shop.
As it happens in life., delaying gratification usually gets you better outcome.
10:05 Nature jumpscare
Great introduction video for the game!
OK. good 4 stars do one job well. good 6 stars can do multiple things.
to elaborate, a 4 star like myrtle generates deployment points (which are needed to deploy units) higher rarity isn't really needed because thats all a vanguard needs to do on your team.
whereas a 6 star like ines can generate points, crowd control, reveal stealth and kill units.
a 4 star takes 1/3rd the resources to raise over a 6 star. the issue is a 6 star resources are given out freely in game events and the permanent game mode IS2,3 and 4 milestone rewards.
as such it might actually be EASIER to raise a 6 star unit as your first elite 2 unit than a 4 star, that said Pudding (and I think only pudding) uses some materials that can easily be gotten on IS2 milestone level 5, and the rest is just farming the chapter 2 boss and you can get her to elite 2 in 660 activity basically 3 days.
As such I would recommend a few 3 stars as a first build, kroos, ansel, cardigan, orchid, midnight, a few 4 stars, Myrtle, pudding, perfumer, may, mousse, gummy, coura.
but raising your higher rarity is not a bad idea, if you have the materials from some event or something, they are much more valuable in the long run, and running the IS2 and IS3 its not difficult to actually get large quantities of materials for promotion.
I'm really happy that I'm watching this. I've already made many mistakes since i started the game. This video will save me!❤
Lets go its time to bring in new Doktors
Quick question, why my range operator always get targeted by ranged enemy ? On 19:58 almost all range enemy range targeting the defender insted range operator.
Good Question , Enemies Always Target Last Deployed Operator
For Example If You Deploy Sniper/Caster , Then You Deploy Defender , Ranged Enemies will Focus on Last Deployed Operator [ Your Defender/Guard or Any Melee Operator ]
the posters in the bg is crazyyy
I'm leaving this comment here before video is out
HUH?!
Impossible 😮😮
Howwww?????
???
Saving this video once im done with the Limbus Company Collab and decide to try Arknight next year.
in the "what to farm part" you say not to farm Integrated strategy, and I personaly desagree.
Yeah as a new player you will struggle a lots going far in it, but it's deffinitly possible to clear floor 2 even reach the florr 3 boss with just a borrowed units and 3stars, especialy IS2 where mountain alone solo the first 2 floors, and the reward are INSANE for a new player, dude it's 20k LMD for the first level is massive for a new player, something you reach even if you don't clear floor 2...
Same with the monthly squad, these shit have insane reward that boost your progression so much, and the clear condition are usualy pretty doable, imagine doing a run. So IMO doing a run once in a while help a tone.
Ah yes. Perfect background video to listen to as a level 120 account progging S3 In DOS
Thumb up for re-roll tip. Only wish I knew when I started. You didn't mention Oyuki's guides. Every player should gave his guides one peek. They were all in Japanese, but with numbers showing deployment order and arrows indicating facing.
Makes following his guides very easy.
thanks! i just started arknights,and this would be a great guide to base on
4:14 "very good job with balancing" - Wi'sadle - *choke choke* (just watching for fun)
But anyway, very good video from you for new players
24:15 if they follow your tip and buying all the event shops, then tehy dont need to farm SSS, I never farm them and have more module mats than I can spend
25:40 if you do correctly, you can farm orundum , not full time, but in convertion phase, u gett up to 600 Orundum per day from base (depends wich ops you use and how often u collect per day)
Beating 1-10 for events is only most events mind, some require 3-8 if i remember right. And with the next Limited we get x2 redcert Operators. Should also go over why you can get early access to chapter 9 (so you can farm mats needed for Operators added later on).
The video background says: mild obsession
Thx, I started yesterday and this help a lot
Welcome new players ^^
1:32 "some of of the most oustanding 4 stars are: Kroos, Melantha, Cutter, Pinecone, Myrtle"
22:55 you can just go to chapter 9 directly, so there's no "stuck in the story"
Been playing this game 2-3months but still have no idea wtf I'm doing. Main quest is still at 3-8
I hope this game stays on the app store forever i love the aesthetic the music the mechanics i love it all
19:54 You are damn right, I'm here because I'm I've been stuck in chapter 3 stage FOR ALMOST A YEAR, with uninstall and reinstall overtimes to try again.
You could just have showed be the initial background and i would have already guessed what he looked like
I would mention that you shouldn't upgrade the Office in the base past lv1, as it permanently locks you out of the best base configurations later on (and the benefits of an upgraded Office are miniscule). Not a huge deal for people who aren't trying to min-max though.
@WhimCh Do you mean the Control Center? Cause I ubgraded it yesterday. What exactly does it lock me into after ubgrading it to level 2? (Sorry for the bad English)
@mliamgroot7785 the control center is something you want to upgrade. The Office is the one that only gives you additional recruitment slots and speeds up tag refreshes
@@WhimCh Oh ok. Now I know what you meant. I'm new to Arknights so sorry if I have mixed something up. It sound like you have many experience with playing and progressing in Arknights. I currently stuck in chapter 3. Is there any solution that you could give me? Mine was to ubgrade all of my charackter to level 30 and then figure out a way to beat further levels/stages in chapter 3.
2:36 then I guess I was extremely lucky that mountain was my first six star character.
The type of a beginner guide after which I have more questions than before... I will just go play the game and when I brick my first account come back here I guess
The most important advice of all if there is a surtr or mylnar banner pull for them.....they will life easier.
Me who has been playing this for literally 1 year now: a beginners tutorial? Sounds like something for me
24:31 but i didn't get any😢 how they give this to us? Does ir have a limited time to use it?
I returned to arknights after dropping it in 2020-ish, and I returned today, only to find it is level 4, has three 6 stars, and then 5 stars. AND MOST OF THEM WAS AT MAX LEVEL. but the stages were still on 2 stars, but nonetheless I got a lot of originium from the uncompleted stages
Nice background you have
Wahoo thanks for this, new player here! 😄
As a player for 4 years uhhh thanks for this video
Glad that I found this, I am almost running out of email to use. Didn't know that salt account works XD
What are things i should not do?
small nitpick, I would have tried to avoid showing any skins at all until the skin section, and just set everyone to their default skin in the meantime.
12:26 , hell no i've been f2p since day 1 of my acc 2020/5/1, and to this day i still only use my op for skins and i have not bought a single level pack. I still got majority of the 6 star operators without spending any op and almost everyone that is e2 in my acc has skin, I even have multiple skins for operators like surtr,mudrock and more. Wasting your're hard earned OP on pulls especially if you use like 36(?) of it for a single multi just for you to get a blue bag is not a fun time trust me. But sure if you need to use like a couple of op to maybe reach that pity or maybe if you are just starting and want more operator in your roster then sure go on. But if you play this game because of the aesthetics highly recommend not using you're op to anything but skins.
i regret not buying eyja went she appear in the shop and i hope hypergryph can some what bring the base out off beta i
Welcome, new Doctors.
9:48 a word from a wise man
THANKYOU!❤
Me: *played arknights from launch*
Me: *stamp of approval*
I think I started a month ago? Or 2? I re-rolled 6 times to get Thorns simply bc I loved his design more than anyone else. He's been carrying me since then and I really love using him (plus his JP VA is one of my favs). Now, even tho I figured it might've been bad, I've been trying to pull for Leonhardt in Kernel (cause of his JP VA lol). Is he really just there or is it okay to pull for other banners for a tiny chance to get him? I really want him but his name wasn't on any banners except for Kernel.
Maybe I should've watched this sooner. I realized I'm having a very slow progress in Arknights. RN I'm focusing on leveling my characters up and their talents bc yes, I did think I was too low leveled in the current stages I'm clearing. The dumb me never thought there were different kinds of damages like physical and stuff. I kept using my shielders against those huge bozos and my dumb just realized I could've used mages. This guide is really helpful. I figured a lot of things myself but I realized I never paid attention to the ones that mattered lmao! Thanks!
Best guide
0:35 is it true? i barely note it at all v:
I see 5 stars unit, I put it into the squad :)
For voucher I just pick Liskarm (because she just cool) and Waffarin because I don't have a good healer
Warfarin is not as good as a medic, there are better options, but she is very good for buffing (+90% atk). She and Skalter are the best buffers in the game
@@SergazzI see, I though she can be a good healer, now I realised Hibicus and Perfumer are just better, having wider healing range
Ayo, where'd you get that Amiya Hoodie? I want!
hey i really love the way u explain things... can u make a video about returning player n 2024... the changes in this game is overwhelming after 3 years
18op+ skins also means in game effects change.
And while i agree that texas is indeed free later its only after you have already e2 ops and a module and other things so unless you want to use texas, an early flametail or courier are both good to upgrade.
Id also clarify that once the base is done it takes less then a minute to collect and swap out fatigued ops. Just so they dont think it takes forever once its done.
Other then that its a great video.
Can u look at my account i can’t get past certain missions and wonder if I have good characters
Unlike real life in game friends are important I'm saving this for quotes of geniuses
20:41 huh?
Bro's room💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Me, veteran player who has been on global server since day 1: write that down! write that down!
I just started and got Weedy as my first 6 stars... at least I like her
I love that jacket.
May I know the link for the Tomimi art behind, or the artist so I can check it myself.
If I was just want the best character in the 5 star selector what it would be
Honestly, for a new F2P account, Id recommend the following: Mountain > Thorns > Archetto > Flametail. The other 6* are good for sure, but they require their E2 to be optimal while Mountain only needs E1 to get his best skill and it doesn't need to be M3 to make him useful for a new account. Archetto is also very good, but Thorns can also lane hold and is also ranged but he also suffers from needing his E2 to make him really good as his E2 skill is really the only skill you should be using with him.
I would also disagree on IS. IS is 100% worth doing especially if you have a few high level friends that have Mountain or Thorns. You can use them to help crutch through probably the early stages in Crimson and and Mizuki which will help get you basically free material/LMD/cosmetics. I wouldn't say to spend hours grinding it, but new players that are at least a little along should be trying to do it once in a while for an injection of stuff. SS however is 100% skippable to anyone that does not have a really strong roster and is pushing to get all of the modules for every operator and get them to level 3. New accounts 100% don't need to pay any attention to this for a long time.
Just my two cents though, overall very informative guide!
I am a veteran player and if they add an auto swap teams for the base i will come back cx
Yes doing that task everyday make me quit for the monotony(only the base thing the rest of the game is hyper fun :D) xddd
Also i aprove this guide, i couldnt say everything any better :D
Lv 43 dokutah here, quick question...
Is it really that sanity consuming to e2 a 6* op?
Quite so, you need almost 600k lmd to build a 6* to e2lv1 (not mentioning the materials)
If you start from scratch and can farm the best (and hardest) stages, you'll probably take over a week
Thank you so much for answering! It sucks I can't really clear some event stages as I only have e1 ops... But, back to the grind!
Hi someone has hacked an Arknights channel and erased most of the original videos does anyone knows what to do? The channel's name was changed to Mei Official the channel has 13k subscriptions
I have a question, what's the difference between intermezzo, side stories and record restoration?
I got Flamebringer (a mistake I know) and Bena from the record restoration but what do the other two do?
because I assumed I would need to play stages to get those operators but no I just had to claim them after watching some cutscenes so what's the difference?
I have never seen anyone with a body pillow harem before. Teach me your manly ways.
2 Esdras 7:75
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

How to play this game on pc?
hey there I've comeback to arknight just recently and little bit confused about newer stuff is there any guide for players that coming back to the game ?
The things i wish i knew before starting 😞. Time to make a new account 🙂
Hey I'm a newbie and have a question and I hope that someone can help me
Is there right now a way to get Lumen and Bibeak? All guides say they are wellfare operators but there is no record restoration for stultifera navis.
I already unlocked Gladia the same way. Is there any other operator you can recommend that you can get for free?
there are lots of operatos that you can obtain for free. You said that you got gladiia in record resotration, you can get lumen the same way; stultifers navis has is there. others in record restoration is sideroca, heavyrain, and silence alter. in the side storys, by 3 staring the first few stages you can get a free 5 star that is only obtainable in the side story. You cam get grani, ceylon, bison, folinic, tomimi, whislash, robin, lava alter, tequila, and wild mane.
@@kyoki8164 the problem with some of these operators is that althought I unlocked their side story/ intermezzi with the disks, there is no record restoration to unlock them. I played stultifera navis till SN-5, all 3 stars, but there is no record restoration and every guide says that you can already unlock him at SN-4. Do I miss something?
@@easypeasy7161Record restoration for SN is around nov or dec 2024
How do i bind my guest acont?
How to open inventory
I bet Cesith inner circle doesn't have any Arturia m6, Ray s3 and degen s3 user to borrow at all 😂
I just started playing Arknights, oddly hecause of the story and lore as well as the music and the graphic design. I really am not that fond of tower defense hut AK surprised me with its depth.
But man, I'm hella confused.
But since I have experience from other gachas like PGR. Some systems are familiar.
i cant do the reroll tho, why?
Dat manticore pillow... her chest is...pointy let's say xD
i want to play this game but it don't look and the characters don't look good or fight as they do in eversoul or like iseakai memories
