I have both pronounce and mic issue. Probably the worst reviews you have heard. Hopefully I can fix it in the next review (idk how) Also since arkrec does not translate categories, I will explain it a bit here: All operators from event bonus ✅ CC and IS operators ✅ Nine-Colored Deer and Conviction ✅ Main story bonus (Amiya, Heidi etc) ❎ Credit shop/Certificate shop (Ethan, Courier etc) ❎ Pinboard mission (Cliffheart, Texas) ❎ Savage ❎ (idk why)

The only clue I can offer is that on arkrec it says that the category is “event ops”, so maybe because the main story ops and savage count as rewards unassociated with a normal event it doesn’t count under that category? Also, thank you so much for all of your videos. Yours and YesTerry’s videos have inspired me to build my welfare ops (although I’ve only raised a few of them so far). I hope that in the future I can also use them to complete stages as creatively as you do. Thanks again!

@@VistilShaiteth Sorry, I was under the impression that Conviction came attached with an event of sorts, but I can’t remember exactly. At least for CN, according to GamePress, they said “When CN players logged on, they found a new story event with a QR code that took them to the HG website, and they were rewarded with new Operator Conviction.” Maybe that’s the difference?

It's really interesting for you to do this niche. Welfare operators are pretty strong solely cus you can get them to Pot 6 that easily. You don't even need to waste orundums and tickets in banners. It is still a shame that Hibiscus alter is not a welfare

@cyri96

Жыл бұрын

There's a bit of a catch to the getting to Pot 6 easily though, as they generally have nerfed Potentials compared to normal 5* Gacha Ops (the two 6* are not nerfed), in fact Most Welfare Operators have an increased Base DP Costs that is compensated by having an extra DP reduction on their pots, And there's the other point that, with some exceptions, Pots only have a really Minor effect in Arknights in the first place, unlike some other Gacha games.

While true they’re often still a little worse than their gacha counterparts for stats and cost, they do sometimes bring unique skills though.

It's good to have guide-style videos from nicheknights content creators. Not all of the guide videos should be monopolized by the same three or four content creators. After all, you are the experts for each of your niches. So, thanks a lot for the video! Anyway, I was curious about your analysis on Sideroca - I was looking to build her and wanted some advice on the investment. You consider her to have mediocre damage and be mostly used for her survivability, correct? Something like an arts version of Matoimaru? I was interested in her, since pure HP tanks are pretty rare. If she is that niche, I will probably have to think twice (Only useful against Mandragora, a character currently MIA??).

@prd6617

pretty much it, she is good at survivability with her "self sustain".

@AquaticIdealist

Жыл бұрын

A friend of mine uses Sideroca, and I've heard the explanation that Maitomaru's niche of enduring caster shots and healing them off while having the physical atk to break through is a more effective one that Sideroca's niche of enduring damage in general and retaliating with arts... Mostly because Maitomaru at S1 has enough atk as a dreadnought guard to still slowly tear into casters who on average have lower def. Even though many enemies, especially in early game, don't have that much Res, Sideroca really doesn't stand out in her role than Mousse does, since Mousse will also stall with the atk debuff compared to Sideroca enduring their shots. Sideroca losing all her range with S2 kind of hurts her, it makes her an arts Grani without the 2 block. And as Vulcan lover it really hurts when a unit loses range without all that many benefits. If you have used Maitomaru, honestly Maitomaru's respawn module works wonders with her role. Yes, she's less good at that role the moment she respawns, but she also just respawned and will continue to delay whatever enemy she's tied up against. Sideroca will need a similar module, though if Mousse also gets it then RIP Sideroca as Mousse's stalling will be effective at lower cost. Otherwise, according to that friend, Sideroca's damage isn't all that bad, but for transparency's sake he hasn't gotten Guardmiya yet. If you want an Arts Guard that isn't ridiculously broken, I'd recommend Astesia, or Mousse if stalling is more interesting to you. Mousse is cheaper than Sideroca and has a very similar role if she isn't supported by other allies. If she is, the atk debuff will count for quite a bit against bosses. Sideroca may be a lot less efficient but the HP tank niche is indeed rare

Nice to see you branching out and giving direct commentary. Good work.

Awesome team lineup. I'm happy and proud at the same time seeing a player dedicated to 5* and welfare operators. I've been using lots of 5* myself, but not as dedicated as Mr. Kokokbeluk.

This was pretty comprehensible guide so far, the subtitles did help in some areas, but I understood your explanations for the most part. Good job :)

Your Heidi is completely maxed. We're not worthy lol. Thank you for this vid!

Bibeak, Tequila, honestly Ceylon and her gimmick of thawing musha units, Folinic because S2 at the right time is hilarious, Snowsant (S2 for AOE grab), Mint, Robin, Heavyrain, and Heidi are among my favorite units in this game.

Thank you for both the explanations and the subtitles 🙏 Your voice is charming! I'm a more recent player, started with Near Light. There's still a lot of welfares I can't get yet, so it's interesting hearing about them. I'm looking forward to part 2!

I honestly think more people should give love to operators outside of the meta, instead of treating welfare operator as a get-and-forget unit. I rlly appreciate this video, thanks! you earned a subscriber 👊

Aww, I really enjoyed listening to you talk in this video. Keep it up! You're doing an awesome job! I don't use many welfares myself but I am a Mint fan so brownie points for mentioning how cute she is.

I will tell Yii about the thumbnail :)

Your vids really show the power of welfares and honestly it made me level up some that I enjoy their kits. Mainly Snowsant, Tequila, Scene, Robin, Erato, Bibeak, any some others. Happy that no operators are truly useless, you just gotta figure out how to get the best out of them.

Great video! I'm looking forward to the second part! Don't feel too bad about your grammar and pronunciation, English is a hard language and the subtitles you provide work wonders when you can't quite get your message across verbally. Keep up the great work!

Never considered upgrading Flameboy before because everyone were saying he is bad, but my friend liked him very much as a character and eventually I started to like him too. I rised Flame one day and he turned to be really fun to play with. Don't regret anything.

Finally someone who appreciates Flamebringer

Based opinion on Whislash

didn't ceylon have a bug where her module doesnt activate on her skill one? is that still a problem?

Is there a part 2??

where my homie Tachanka @ edit: did not realize that the pinned was talking about what characters were permitted by ArkRec

Mint is the reason I really, really like Klaudia in the Atelier Ryza games, they're both super cute...

imo the welfare ops are more on the niche side or are basically experiments for future operators. They are fun to use but usually feel underpowered in some aspects.

Don't forget, in maps with invisible, scene S1 can be great to place perma invisi spot on certain locations. S2 is usually better. Like all summoners, how great she is depends on how big brain you are.

My Life is incomplete without auntie Zofia. We need a re-run.

I think you should make spreadsheet about welfares

Neat

Robin is the best operator to exist, build her, love her, max level her, M6, 200 trust, everything for the raccoon, forget the rat

Puuuulll hibiiiiscus. Also it's kinda weird that the characters you listed aren't considered welfare by the rules. Just makes zero sense in my brain xD. I understand their weird limitation but the characters you mentioned are suuuper free, especially Amiya.

Dude I appreciate your effort on making this video and reviewing all this operator. However, your mic quality is ruining the video. Please, just buy some cheap 30buck mic with some filter. You will improve the quality of the video a lot.

I know you do welfare only for records, but honestly I'd still enjoy seeing you do just no-gacha if you're interested in that sort of thing!

Okay, this really feels weird to disallow Amiya/Heidi and shop operators. I can guess why Texas/Cliffheat may be banned - potentials can't be obtained outside gatcha, so it might invalidate some accounts, but for amiya/Heidi/Honeyberry/Ethan/Breeze/Pudding, all accounts are on equal standing - just need some grind

I appreciate the subtiles and like the analysis but I will disagree on your definition of welfare to me any operator that isn’t strictly gacha counts as welfare so Vulcan, Amiya and durnar should all count as welfare but it’s your channel so do as you will
