Ah, Lappland. One of the foremost units that are labeled as a 5-star, but is secretly a 6-star. She's either one of two things whenever a new event rolls around: she's either meh, or she completely trivializes the entire event, lmao! Great vid!
@@kyarumomochi5146 That's a take of someone who hasn't played the game long enough, or done an event like Stultifera Navis. For the former, "5-star, but secretly a 6-star" was a term used for five 5-star units whose utility was so good, they might as well have been 6-stars in disguise. For the latter, there's is a very noticeable difference between having to deal with most of the annoying mechanics and them not existing at all. That said, you're not wrong in that Specter is the best selector pick for a new player, so calm down.
@@oxdaman1 Oh i definitely have played the game alot mate. Lappland being great in FEW events doesnt make her a "secret 6 star" unit. Her damage is absolutely subpar on current standards wich is below 25k total damage and her cycles are inconsistent as she has offensive rec and auto activation, she has NO self sustainability and 90% of the events ignore her silence mechanic completely. Compare that to Specter wich is still used in highest end content in the game and is the one of the two manual immortality options in the entire game (other one still being specter) And this is all while sustaining herself and having magnitudes higher damage than Lappland. On top being able to get buffed by other AH members. Lappland is below avarage for a 5 star at best, she does infact specialize in SN or CH 9 but try using her in IS CC SSS or 80% of the content and she is just a mediocre option. Sorry if it came off as harsh, i was just suprised by you calling her a secret 6 star. I do agree that she is unrivaled on silencing enemies but i mean spuria is unrivaled on the highest def ignore in the game wich is 80% and i dont think she is a secret 6 star :D
@@kyarumomochi5146 Well, see, you pretty much said it yourself. 90% of enemy mechanics in the game can't be silenced. That's BECAUSE if they are silenced, it invalidates most, if not all, the difficulty of those events. Silence is either absurdly busted or inconsequential and Lappland, to this day, has the most consistent silence in the game. And, again, I'm not disagreeing with your opinion that Specter is the best of the "5-stars that are secretly 6-stars". What defines them is their utility, not their damage. You even say as much with Specter's invincibility and regen, on top of the AH buff. Look at it from another perspective. If you could only pick a generic team of 5-stars and below to use for a majority of events, which would you pick? And I guarantee that if you pick Ptilopsis, Silence, Lappland, Liskarm, and Specter, you're pretty much set most of the game, regardless of the other 7. That's the point I'm trying to get at. I think the issue you're having with my take is you're directly comparing them to today's 6-stars in terms of power and utility. But at that point, I have to wonder if you've comprehended, or even watched, the video you're commenting on. Seriously, go and do the same stages of Stultifera that Kukki did and/or more with the same lineup with and without Lappland and tell me how that goes.
@@oxdaman1 1) This doesnr change anything? Yes silence is a busted mechanic IF THEY ALLOWED IT on every enemy... and?? They dont so what is this supposed to achieve? Exu would be the best operator in the game if every enemy had 0 defense, does this mean anything to you? Its just a baseless take and ultimately means nothing. 2) Glad we agree on specter. 3) Why are we having a 5 star only team again? Also lappland wouldnt really be the core picks of such 5 star only team, Tequila La pluma Canta and even Shalem are so much better picks. Even for a 5 star only player she wouldnt see use everywhere and "i love amiya" proves this pretty well. 4) ??? Why shouldnt i compare her to 6 stars?? Also are you claiming SN is much harder without Lappy? Sorry to break it to you dear but Gnosis was magnitudes stronger in SN than Lappy every could been all while DPSing and debuffing the enemies so even that is wrong. Lappland is unusable on IS SSS and CCs and only "exceptionally good" in THREE events. You dont even need her in CH 9 to beat the mode so saying 3 is giving too much credit. I get that you are trying to "Uhh she is a 5 star and u shouldnt use 6 stars to compare her" thingy but you obviously can. Her damage is subpar, her cycles suck and her utility is limited the being good in 3 events in total. She is just not good, the video doesnt compare her to anyone so saying "why didnt you watch the video" is kinda hilarious. Just for comparison: Arene, a 4 star, has only 25% lower total damage than Lappland s2 on his s2 all while having increased range and consistent cycles thanks to auto recovery and manual activation. Lappland isnt even better than Arene on most situations, saying she is secretly a 6 star is something else.
this video's existence is the sole difference between me knowing how to find silenceable abilities and being forever unsure as to what silence even does
wanna see more of this type of videos, we all know why 6 stars are good, but using 5 stars is where things differ, so I'll do my part and talk about Texas: Texas the Vanguard is someone you unlock in Story Mode as a reward, her skills are not Meta, but it's her synergy with the Module and Talent that make her shine Skills are your basic DP printer S1 and her S2 is a Phalanx ranged AOE that deals 140% Arts Dmg x2 with a Stun for 3s at M1 Talent makes her give +2 initial DP at E2, you don't need more Pot for this, it's a game-changer in certain stages Module is very well rounded in terms of stats, giving HP + ATK + DEF, but it's what it does to the Trait that makes her broken, it makes her First Deployment -4 DP Why is this so broken? You see, compared to all the other Vanguards at Max Pot, other than Yato, Texas is the cheapest of them all, at 8 DP with Pot 2 or 7 DP at Max Pot, with her Trait of -4 DP and +2 DP from the Talent, she costs 6/5 DP, I usually pair her up with Myrtle for the +1 block from Module and HP regen How is this useful? I consider Myrtle + Texas the second-best strat apart from FlagPipe start, but sometimes it's the better option; I recall watching Kyo's guide on SL-S-5 CM, and people there talking about a Mountain replacement, and I said I used Mudrock, folks were baffled as to how I replaced 10 DP with 36 DP in such a DP-tight map, the answer was these two cutiepies, if you need DP for expensive units pronto, the FlagTex start triumphs over FlagPipe
*I love Lappy* Lappland is my favorite character in Arknights and is even a contender for my favorite character from any media. I don’t care what content I’m doing. Lappland is always the first operator I put on my team. She’s my only fully maxed(for now) Op. Max level, max pot, M6. As soon as the Lord modules come out, I’m immediately maxing out hers. And I have a personal rule that none of my other operators are allowed to be higher level than her.
I think we can all agree that SUPAH did Lappland dirty when rating her year 1 ops tier list. He completely neglected the fact that Lappland does good damage whenever her silence isn't needed and put her on C tier because she isn't Gummy 😑. I don't really use her that much on the current events because of AFK options, but whenever you needed her for the silence, she shines
@@kyarumomochi5146 I know but of course I am considering certain scenarios, and she was super broken during the earlier parts of the game. Her dps is not on Mlynar levels or anything, but you can still use her in normal content. C tier is a crime, this is why you never take tier lists seriously. Her dps is still really good for a 5 star as other comments prove, and she can carry you through a lot of content. Not everyone needs to do stupidly high dps like Ray and Typhon to be good, they just feel bland and repetitive.
@@princenwegbu3045 1] Yeah. early game that is, she is UNUSABLE on SSS IS or CCs mate. 2] C tier is absolutely what her tier is. Her arts damage is horrible and many 5 stars deal magnitudes higher arts damage than her. Shalem Rockrock and Kjera are only some examples. Heck Arene, a 4 star guard, only deals 25% less total damage than Lappland s2 while having better range, auto skill recovery instead of lapplands offensive and manual skill activation lmao. She isnt even better than a 4 star. 3] Comments dont prove anything. You can use any operator to clear content so thats not really an argument on its own, try using Lappland in IS and youll see how horrible she trully is. Im not even mentioning CC. She fell off years ago, only shined in few events like SN and put back in mid box afterwards, her dps is low, damage and range is bad, has no sustainability and her skill cycles are inconsistent as she has offensive recovery and auto skill activation wich makes her harder to use for most content and her skills terrible drawbacks arent even worth it for that measly 25k total damage lmao Arene deals 18k in his own. Shalem deals 50-60k+ all while reducing res.
Woah I didn't know that I could read what to silence in game. I have been using her pretty much since I started Arknights but I always went to the wiki for questions about silencable traits.
Yep, I chose her for the selector pack. I was doubting my choices but to be fair. I'm waifu over meta. I picked her so she can go on operations with texas.
don't get me wrong, i use my lappy just as much as my thorns... but i will always reccomend ptilopsis. she's vision to the blind, food to the hungry, money to the poor, and sp to eunectes' thighs
I love your operator showcase videos because even if I do understand their kit I still feel like I can learn more from your showcases. However for Lappland specifically, I feel like it would've benefitted more with showing a before silence and after silence, for some people that are beginners to this game. Love these showcases, can't wait for the next one
as a german (newby) i always have to smile about 90% of the characternames or places have german names :D thx for the great content! especially chars like this gettin highlighted helps alot! danke!
The problem with relying on Lappland on just silencing purposes is that it is always a "when it rains, it pours" situation with her. Harder maps where silence works, generally mobs you from almost various directions and there is only one Lappland. Sure you can try to maximize target, but man, sometimes I wish I can just Kage Bunshin her and place her at another opposite end of the map coz Waai Fu can only do so much when it comes to silencing. Lappland is definitely a crash course on AUTO offensive SP management and ESPECIALLY map knowledge so I can't exactly say Lappland is beginner friendly. BUT, Lappland is still the only operator that can long silence someone on demand with no strings attached. Until HyperGryph come up with a new operator that can silence as easily as Lappland, her niche is still safe, for now.
Holy, I never knew you could silence those big robots, I always felt like they were too overpowered, since they can just permastun your operators and deal tons of damage, so I always just tried to kill them as quickly as possible with ranged operators, but in my defense, they never told us that X next to a description means it's silencable
This Texas Ho of a Lupo evaded me for YEARS, my only source of Silence for the longest time was Wai Fu (while not bad, only getting a Helidrops worth of silence is torturous when it’s needed). Suffice it to say when I got a 5 star selector, she was instantly built after holding onto materials for her. 😂
@@enteplays3662 yeah, she's obtainable only from kernel banners or through special recruitment permits, like the one that is given to new players, or one that was sent as a gift on 4th anniversary if I remember correctly.
@@enteplays3662 same, glad I chose her from that special transfer permit. Not that it was a hard choice since she is one of the reasons I got into AK, but I still remember how hard Lappy, Texas and Liskarm carried me through early chapters.
Best option from 5 star selector is by far Specter and not Lappland lmao. Specter has use in many end game content while Lappland has only been good for some gimmick events like SN.
![Lappland English Dub Voice Lines! All Voice Lines (E2+ Max Trust) [Arknights]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pT102kJNr4o/mqdefault.jpg)
Lappland may not be the best unit. But when you need her, you really NEED her.
More like "when you need her especially for silence ability, no one can replace her role"
Glad that you picked chp 9 to showcase the talent.
Along with the silence and arts dmg from S2, Lappy can practically carry the whole of chp 9.
Or just using physical damage lmao
**Put Lappland**
**Put Healing Defender in front**
**Sleep through the entire stage**
My way of using Lappy
too bad they didnt make a texas healing defender so lappland can be with her girlfriend
I instead placed Stainless and use his drone to help her charge her skill, while also procking the turret.
I used Lappland + Liskarm through my entire early game journey.
Me: put her and one medic....
As long the enemy is explosive, turu

And I guarantee that if you pick Ptilopsis, Silence, Lappland, Liskarm, and Specter, you're pretty much set most of the game, regardless of the other 7. That's the point I'm trying to get at.
I think the issue you're having with my take is you're directly comparing them to today's 6-stars in terms of power and utility. But at that point, I have to wonder if you've comprehended, or even watched, the video you're commenting on. Seriously, go and do the same stages of Stultifera that Kukki did and/or more with the same lineup with and without Lappland and tell me how that goes.
@@oxdaman1 1) This doesnr change anything? Yes silence is a busted mechanic IF THEY ALLOWED IT on every enemy... and?? They dont so what is this supposed to achieve? Exu would be the best operator in the game if every enemy had 0 defense, does this mean anything to you? Its just a baseless take and ultimately means nothing.
2) Glad we agree on specter.
3) Why are we having a 5 star only team again? Also lappland wouldnt really be the core picks of such 5 star only team, Tequila La pluma Canta and even Shalem are so much better picks. Even for a 5 star only player she wouldnt see use everywhere and "i love amiya" proves this pretty well.
4) ??? Why shouldnt i compare her to 6 stars?? Also are you claiming SN is much harder without Lappy? Sorry to break it to you dear but Gnosis was magnitudes stronger in SN than Lappy every could been all while DPSing and debuffing the enemies so even that is wrong.
Lappland is unusable on IS SSS and CCs and only "exceptionally good" in THREE events. You dont even need her in CH 9 to beat the mode so saying 3 is giving too much credit.
I get that you are trying to "Uhh she is a 5 star and u shouldnt use 6 stars to compare her" thingy but you obviously can. Her damage is subpar, her cycles suck and her utility is limited the being good in 3 events in total. She is just not good, the video doesnt compare her to anyone so saying "why didnt you watch the video" is kinda hilarious. Just for comparison: Arene, a 4 star, has only 25% lower total damage than Lappland s2 on his s2 all while having increased range and consistent cycles thanks to auto recovery and manual activation. Lappland isnt even better than Arene on most situations, saying she is secretly a 6 star is something else.
this video's existence is the sole difference between me knowing how to find silenceable abilities and being forever unsure as to what silence even does
It silences enemy special talents. Usefull for suicide npcs
wanna see more of this type of videos, we all know why 6 stars are good, but using 5 stars is where things differ, so I'll do my part and talk about Texas:
Texas the Vanguard is someone you unlock in Story Mode as a reward, her skills are not Meta, but it's her synergy with the Module and Talent that make her shine
Skills are your basic DP printer S1 and her S2 is a Phalanx ranged AOE that deals 140% Arts Dmg x2 with a Stun for 3s at M1
Talent makes her give +2 initial DP at E2, you don't need more Pot for this, it's a game-changer in certain stages
Module is very well rounded in terms of stats, giving HP + ATK + DEF, but it's what it does to the Trait that makes her broken, it makes her First Deployment -4 DP
Why is this so broken? You see, compared to all the other Vanguards at Max Pot, other than Yato, Texas is the cheapest of them all, at 8 DP with Pot 2 or 7 DP at Max Pot, with her Trait of -4 DP and +2 DP from the Talent, she costs 6/5 DP, I usually pair her up with Myrtle for the +1 block from Module and HP regen
How is this useful? I consider Myrtle + Texas the second-best strat apart from FlagPipe start, but sometimes it's the better option;
I recall watching Kyo's guide on SL-S-5 CM, and people there talking about a Mountain replacement, and I said I used Mudrock, folks were baffled as to how I replaced 10 DP with 36 DP in such a DP-tight map, the answer was these two cutiepies, if you need DP for expensive units pronto, the FlagTex start triumphs over FlagPipe
That's good.
I usually use Zima for most combi so all Vanguard can be more cheaper. Not only for first deployment but also for this entire battle.
the moment you went Stultifera Navis, I still hear the golden age
*I love Lappy*
Lappland is my favorite character in Arknights and is even a contender for my favorite character from any media.
I don’t care what content I’m doing. Lappland is always the first operator I put on my team. She’s my only fully maxed(for now) Op. Max level, max pot, M6. As soon as the Lord modules come out, I’m immediately maxing out hers. And I have a personal rule that none of my other operators are allowed to be higher level than her.
glad youre still continuing these
I think we can all agree that SUPAH did Lappland dirty when rating her year 1 ops tier list. He completely neglected the fact that Lappland does good damage whenever her silence isn't needed and put her on C tier because she isn't Gummy 😑. I don't really use her that much on the current events because of AFK options, but whenever you needed her for the silence, she shines
Her arts total damage is 25k without any res shred. Thats not even below avarage on todays standards, its just garbage.
@@kyarumomochi5146 I know but of course I am considering certain scenarios, and she was super broken during the earlier parts of the game. Her dps is not on Mlynar levels or anything, but you can still use her in normal content. C tier is a crime, this is why you never take tier lists seriously. Her dps is still really good for a 5 star as other comments prove, and she can carry you through a lot of content. Not everyone needs to do stupidly high dps like Ray and Typhon to be good, they just feel bland and repetitive.
@@princenwegbu3045 1] Yeah. early game that is, she is UNUSABLE on SSS IS or CCs mate.
2] C tier is absolutely what her tier is. Her arts damage is horrible and many 5 stars deal magnitudes higher arts damage than her. Shalem Rockrock and Kjera are only some examples. Heck Arene, a 4 star guard, only deals 25% less total damage than Lappland s2 while having better range, auto skill recovery instead of lapplands offensive and manual skill activation lmao. She isnt even better than a 4 star.
3] Comments dont prove anything. You can use any operator to clear content so thats not really an argument on its own, try using Lappland in IS and youll see how horrible she trully is. Im not even mentioning CC.
She fell off years ago, only shined in few events like SN and put back in mid box afterwards, her dps is low, damage and range is bad, has no sustainability and her skill cycles are inconsistent as she has offensive recovery and auto skill activation wich makes her harder to use for most content and her skills terrible drawbacks arent even worth it for that measly 25k total damage lmao Arene deals 18k in his own. Shalem deals 50-60k+ all while reducing res.
@@princenwegbu3045Don’t argue with her, she’s notorious and will only waste your time.
Please, preserve your own sanity.
Woah I didn't know that I could read what to silence in game. I have been using her pretty much since I started Arknights but I always went to the wiki for questions about silencable traits.
Yep, I chose her for the selector pack. I was doubting my choices but to be fair. I'm waifu over meta. I picked her so she can go on operations with texas.
thx for the video kukki
don't get me wrong, i use my lappy just as much as my thorns... but i will always reccomend ptilopsis. she's vision to the blind, food to the hungry, money to the poor, and sp to eunectes' thighs
Lappdumb my beloved
Lappy Best girl
I love your operator showcase videos because even if I do understand their kit I still feel like I can learn more from your showcases.
However for Lappland specifically, I feel like it would've benefitted more with showing a before silence and after silence, for some people that are beginners to this game.
Love these showcases, can't wait for the next one
'Veterans will tell you Lappland is the best 5 stars to own. She's strong and she's hot.'
this description is 100% written by texas, huh
Lappland my beloved!
as a german (newby) i always have to smile about 90% of the characternames or places have german names :D thx for the great content! especially chars like this gettin highlighted helps alot! danke!
Thanks for information Lappland is very good
You know an operator is so good there was a whole ass trend on Twitter about one particular stage of Stultifera Navis event along with Lappland.
the silence explanation, and the UI update PSA Inspires me
I use Lappland when there’s a problematic enemy and 90% of the time it turns out they’re silencable 😂
lappland my beloved
getting her and thorns within a week of playing the game sure helped me a lot, i love my lord guards
Thank you for the guide now i can deal with the spiders on chapter 4
i use Ho'olheyak and recently found out she has silence in her talent so I understood why the spiders didn’t explode
Lol, Chalter gets used so much that regular Ch'en became the alter!
6:23 Goldenglow 😂
The problem with relying on Lappland on just silencing purposes is that it is always a "when it rains, it pours" situation with her. Harder maps where silence works, generally mobs you from almost various directions and there is only one Lappland. Sure you can try to maximize target, but man, sometimes I wish I can just Kage Bunshin her and place her at another opposite end of the map coz Waai Fu can only do so much when it comes to silencing.
Lappland is definitely a crash course on AUTO offensive SP management and ESPECIALLY map knowledge so I can't exactly say Lappland is beginner friendly. BUT, Lappland is still the only operator that can long silence someone on demand with no strings attached. Until HyperGryph come up with a new operator that can silence as easily as Lappland, her niche is still safe, for now.
Holy, I never knew you could silence those big robots, I always felt like they were too overpowered, since they can just permastun your operators and deal tons of damage, so I always just tried to kill them as quickly as possible with ranged operators, but in my defense, they never told us that X next to a description means it's silencable
as a m6 lvl 80 full pot lappland enjoyer, i support this
I was introduced to arknights by a image of lappland on pixiv where she look quite 🔥
*Enemies can silenced exist*
Me : Damn, look like i forgot something. But maybe that's not important too.
This Texas Ho of a Lupo evaded me for YEARS, my only source of Silence for the longest time was Wai Fu (while not bad, only getting a Helidrops worth of silence is torturous when it’s needed). Suffice it to say when I got a 5 star selector, she was instantly built after holding onto materials for her. 😂
I heard rumours about a lappland alter 😳
Man i sure should build the Lappland that isnt on my account... hopefully ill get her while pulling for Shu.
Unfortunately she drops only from kernel banner, so you'll need to wait for her rate-up there and/or buy her in the shop.
@@rw6611 she is not in normal headhunting anymore?
@@enteplays3662 yeah, she's obtainable only from kernel banners or through special recruitment permits, like the one that is given to new players, or one that was sent as a gift on 4th anniversary if I remember correctly.
@@rw6611 damn didn't know that they made her exclusiv for kernel. Thank god I a allready have that goofy pizza lover
@@enteplays3662 same, glad I chose her from that special transfer permit. Not that it was a hard choice since she is one of the reasons I got into AK, but I still remember how hard Lappy, Texas and Liskarm carried me through early chapters.
When she glow blue is thst the skin effect ?
gundam abilities can be silenced? lol XD
I wish I like dogs because I’d totally use lappland and penance
lappland and penance are not dogs. ceobe is a dog
Bro really did a guide for Lappland, one of the oldest operators....
Best option from 5 star selector is by far Specter and not Lappland lmao. Specter has use in many end game content while Lappland has only been good for some gimmick events like SN.
I've been using her since early game until now. I love Lappland🤌🤌🤌
