This video was a one-take, don't really have the time to edit it, but take it as a more conversation style of a video. To clarify on one important matter, I would have love to share screenshots of the conversation I had with Arkchive on Discord, but I don't have chat history of it anymore. I believe it's because Arkchive removed his Discord account and made a new one, so I don't have any receipts. But, if Arkchive chooses to retaliate, all I can say is he has nothing to fire back about when my stream VOD channels are pure evidence of effort. Maybe he should start streaming too and prove to people that his videos are authentic. Anyways, see you all in my base video to come

your old guides about resources and how to manage your base where really helpful i was stuck on having my base not being optimal but thanks to your explanations i was able to maximize the base to my play-style and know what ops to lv up thanks for that and i hope you keep giving your best!

I think stage guides were a bad match for you anyways. I don't mean that you're bad at it, it's simply that you shine more doing more entertaining content. For example, I think it would be more fun to watch you explain mechanics of a event rather than guides, also because many players avoid using guides or only use them when they are really stuck.

That and the guide side of things is already quite oversaturated, but he already mentioned it in the video (Kyostinv and Oyuki with their prefilmed guides)

I just want to say: Your philosophy of making guide videos that speak directly to less experienced players was SO invaluable to helping my many friends who had just started the game around the time you were releasing those vids. It sounds like this choice to stop making the guides is definitely what’s best for your own happiness (and certainly your other analysis vids are what brought *me* to your channel!), but I definitely want to say that those hours you spent really were meaningful. Your guides were truly a head above the rest as a teaching tool-and that’s the best reason to use guides in the first place.

I believe kukki is refer to this stream record when he is making NL-EX-8 guide: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpuLl9Nyj5XcYJM.htmlfeature=shared if you don't want to look back to the deep 700+ past streams of kukki. In the mean time, I also see uncle have done a over 40 hour handhold on NL event, what a crazy number! Really thankful to what you have done to AK community.

This reminds me of a 'bearknights cc' video I'd seen, where a creator said how they put so much effort into a clear only to find someone else playing the same niche that did basically the same clear. This NL-EX-8 drama feels like too much being coming out of a misunderstanding

Thank you for all the effort you put into your guides Kukki. I started out watching Kyo and Ecko like many others. However, the longer I play Arknights, the more I've come to appreciate the detail you put into your own flavor of clears. Although I am sad you are discontinuing your guide series, I will still watch your content and hope you continue to succeed in university life!

Thanks for watching my stuff, bruh.

PeterYR has has already have good base comparison before that person shows up.

First off I want to thank you a lot for your Arkpedia series. As someone who started playing this Year it was really helpful for getting me into the game! Just do whatever content feels like it suits you best, it's better if the video is genuine rather than just because you feel like you have to do it. Keep up the good work!

Personally I like to clear every stage blind the 1st time so I rarely watch stage guides anymore. Usually I watch low operator trust farming guides for the event stages after I've already cleared them the 1st time. Sometimes I'll watch a video just for a stage I struggled on because I want to know what I missed or what some different strategies are.

@Khroniclas

Agreed. Clearing a stage and then making a trust farm afterwards is far more satisfying to me than copying a guide. I mean... If you just go into every stage with the mindset of "I will 1:1 do what this video does", then are you even playing the game at that point? If you don't even try to beat the stage, then what exactly is Arknights offering you?

Regardless of what you do bro. I'll always support you brother. I look forward to your new content that you find more fulfilling.

I’m always glad to see videos that aren’t just stage guides or showcases, more in-depth looks into mechanics are always appreciated. I just got my three year badge in July and there’s still stuff I forget about.

Thanks for all the guides you made in the past, Kukki. I'm interested in seeing what other kinds of content you will put out in lieu of guide videos, as I always appreciated the 'fireside chat' style of your guide videos.

Appreciated your hard working in the past❤. Your guides are my most favorite. I was always looking for your guide when i’m newbie. You show me how to have fun with the game instead just pass the stage without using brain. For now, i’m fine without guide.

I've watched Arkchive for a while, simply because I'm interested in other games at the moment. Just as you said, I'm there to get it out of the way, AK is in maintenance mode for me right now. I was THERE for nearly the entire NL-EX-8 theory stream, so hearing this be brought up again breaks my heart. As for base setups, it's been so highly debated for so long that I'm convinced at this point it's just personal preference and there is no "best" setup. Thanks for the hard work you put into your content, it does not go unnoticed.

Kuki, just do what you think is most important for you channel. I always appreciated your videos as they felt more as educationally focused, then fast and easy clear stage guide videos. I will be honest, after 1y of AK, i have fully capable rooster of operators that can tackle any content the game throws at us, so guides for me are just used to see how other managed to pass it.

I really liked your guides, you often explained really well enemy abilities and how to counter them, so even if I didn't have the same operators I could still come up with a similar strategy of my own, I don't know if I would have played this game for this long without your videos, so thank you for everything!

My only problem with base building is that I'm too smooth brain to understand what some newer Operators base skills actually do

The only complicated ones are the skills for Rosmontis/Mr. Nothing since they use a points system. Otherwise the most important aspect is literally just "use big number" and "swap half of operators every 12hrs"

I no longer use guides to clear the content, sometimes because of lack of time I watch some afk strategy but my account is good enough to try and clear everything with some effort. Even though I appreciated your guides because the were longer than others sometimes but I feel that I learned a lot more with you.

Your arkpedia helped me a lot when I started the game. Hope you do not feel down and continue doing your best to make better content👍❤

thanks for making the guides you did. the depth to them really helped improve my understanding of the game.

I really hope you continue to make operator guides. Those guides really help me understand how abilities work in which scenarios. I even watch the guides with operators I don't own. Thank you for your hard work!

AK global day one player here. I got to this channel precisely because I could tell that you are trying to teach new players and get them to learn the mechanics, so that one day they will no longer have to rely on guides. The other big AK KZreadrs that I watched had quick and effective guides, but I definitely did not understand the reason behind half of their decisions. Or, I took more time trying to understand the stage mechanics, because the guide did not highlight the core mechanic/strategy at all! Last year I ended up taking a break from AK for a few weeks because I felt watching those guides made me DUMBER and I just blindly copypasting other's homework. That's not what I play videogames for! I swear I've learnt more from your guides than all the other guides combined. Really supportive of your decision and agree that the market for AK guides is shrinking. I'll be sure to keep watching whatever you put out because you have a superb understanding of the game and I feel I can continue to learn more from you

You taught me so much about how the different archetypes in arknights can be used. Thanks to you, I can beat story stages in events on cm mode without looking at any guides and then Looking at guides on the higher difficulty and saying me built operators are better suited to thus type of strategy then the one used in these guides. So thank you for teaching me how my operators work.

I did appreciate your stage guides for sure, I mostly used them when I was unsure if what I was initially doing was right or confirmation that the boss mechanics worked like I thought they did. I do think that you make good guides and I think an Ark-Versity style videos would be good. Where you can go over stage mechanics, operator mechanics, Boss mechanics and teach the community what does what and why you use them in X,Y,Z situations or stages. You are already doing this with your Operator Showcase, so maybe something expanding on stage, event or boss mechanics could be another thing to go over that newer players could learn about. Love all your content regardless!

Just make what makes you happy, if a random guy with a really high ego like this dumb one that only wants for you to mention him to get an extra visit this way appears, just ignore him and move on. Thanks for the funny stream recaps, those are really good btw.

I just want to say I liked the strategies you showcased in your guides. Some of them I used on really difficult stages. Thank you!

Haiyaa, as a long time youtube watcher, I can say this is part of growing up on KZread. You will outlive your content just as we do jobs, relationships, interests, etc. still keep being you and evolve your content/ambitions

we love your special types of guides like the showcases ,cc clears, and some spotlight. Just continue with them and do what you like

Noooooooo, your guides were so wholesome!!! Hope you do here and there for important stages still some guides! I understand with taking it so long, I know what you mean, especially when I help out others I know where you are coming from with taking so long. It didn't help that there are so many time consuming events. However, for me you are the treasure of of the Arknights Community and taking so many stuff up and point finger at bad stuff and say how it to be doing better!

Ive been playing arknight for a 1/5 year and the person who made me learn how to play it is your guild not only its not as complex as kyo(for me at the time) explaining all the mechanics of the boss/event and how to counter in a more fun way made me learn allot form your guild and after 5 months under ur wings i start doing my own strat i still watch ur guild for more insight but yeah to keep it simple in my early days you been my teacher on how to play this game and now i can easily highrisk using my strat thx to your teachings Side note: i think seeing you explained indetail how mechanics work and recommendations of ops rather than full on guild is more for fun and can highlight your personality nore uncle

Hi Kukki Just wanted to say I loved your stage guides. They explained all the mechanics so well and I always learned so much from them when I was new. It is understandable for your reasons to stop making them, but I'm looking forward to your new videos : )

You are the arknights youtuber that I learned from when I started. Your guides for cc were what I watched to clear stages. Thank you for putting in time in the past to make those guides.

I'm happy for you and the new direction you want to take with the channel! It can't have been an easy decision to make, but I honestly think focusing more on explaining the mechanics and teaching newer players the ropes could be the perfect niche for you and also just what the community on global needs. Your passion for the game really shows and having someone like you show how complex and fun the gameplay can be would be awesome and get even more people excited about it (because, let's be honest, the game doesn't exactly hold your hand when it comes to figuring out certain strategies, so unless you're creative, don't mind a ton of trial-and-error, and have a decently varied roster, you'll probably never grasp what kind of insane or fun strategies you could pull off in this game). I won't lie, there've been times when I relied on brain dead guides just to beat event stages due to time constraints (exam season *cough,* thesis deadlines *cough*), but it always came with a sense of frustration along the lines of "damn, I wish I had the time to figure this out for myself." And, just like you said, there are big names doing stage guides out there already and I can see how the lacking return on those videos would be frustrating for you since they take so much time to put out. I truly think shifting away from that kind of content will be a win for both you and the community as a whole :) When I started playing, I learned most about strategies by watching guides and trying to figure out what they were doing on a given stage - I still remember how my mind was blown by seeing the combination of Ifrit + defenders to keep enemies in her path, haha!! It would have taken me much longer to catch onto that as a whole, so showing some strats like that to give newbies ideas would be great imo. Anyway, I just want to say that I look forward to the future of your channel (I already love the "this month/week in Arknights" update vids), hope any stupid beef will resolve itself so you can be at peace, and uni goes well for you! (P.S. Unrelated, but remember Interlocking Competition? I really loved it and how it forced you to change your approach to stages and use units you normally wouldn't consider. I kept waiting for it to be brought back, but it doesn't seem likely at this point :'))

I actually like your guide. I am saddened that its gone but it is what it is. I also enjoy when you make a video about the max CC stuff.

I started playing the game around a year ago. During my first months into the game, I think I only used guides like three or four times, because I like figuring out stuff on my own. The content I used a lot more early on was the more "general learning" stuff, particularly the Arkpedia series. They really helped me learn how this game works without holding my hand. I even started playing what is now my favourite mode (Integrated Strategies) a few months ago thanks to how well you introduced it in the video you dedicated to IS2. So... Thanks!

I personally love to watch your Operator guides like the How to use series

I just started AK last week and your arkpedia guide help me build teams and get through stages. Love them ❤.

i learned A LOT when I started playing AK with your guides, I'm super grateful ❤ I obviously cant speak for everyone, but you're wrong about people forgetting you once the event is over, since you taught the technics and skills, I still have you as the 'AK mentor' on the community and I was waiting for your video on Fire Within The Sand that you mentioned on stream, but I do understand all your reasoning, university will be over soon, keep it up, you got it!

I don't watch guides that often anymore outside of Trust farming but when I do it's either if I'm really stuck or if I do not like the event. Just do whatever makes ya happy my guy. 👍

I'm lazy af so I search for Ling only or Ling+ 1-3 other operators. I can't get use to the tight timings of using 12, 3-4 star operators. Ling is love, Ling is life. Dragon Master Race!

In his base video, he only keeps the ones that aren't as straight as the others, saying their own experience with their base, and those who criticize smaller things like grammar, attitude, also missed operators.

I understand stage guides but I really do enjoy more videos regarding learning mechanics of the game itself and letting the player use that knowledge to clear a stage. I think that is more worthwhile. So I hope you do more videos relating to that.

Everytime I see new player on Facebook I always recommend to see you new player guide👍👍. Thank you all guide. at first I follow eckogen,kyostinv guide but after I see you guide you guide make me more understand so I follow you😂

As someone who really benefited from your guides when I was new (especially during SN and the NL rerun), thanks for the help and all of your hard work. I totally understand why you want to step back from those, but also, I'm of the opinion that your operator showcases are more beneficial for people in the long run, since they teach people how to use the unit, that they can peruse once they're done watching someone's stage guide. It's like the proverb of giving someone a fish vs teaching them to fish.

Kukki, thanks for all the guides so far. Its definitely true that I usually use mostly oyuki's/kyo's guides, but usually I just watch your guides even after the event is over just to see how you'll tackle the stage, for those videos are entertaining and just overall nice to watch. Guide making is definitely time consuming, and juggling between uni and guide making is already an impressive feat. As for the base, while I am running 2-4-3, most people with a functional brain would not side with Arkchive and his claims. I prefer 2-4-3 due to a completionism mentality (dorms at lv 1 just irk me too much), and just the more causal playstyle in general. However, Arkchive's way shoving it down everyone's throats without proper research and poorly presented information is just really egoistical and low effort of him. Looking forward to your more refined base guide. I do have to admit though, that Arkchive does make some semi-decent guides, like that for RA (I hope it isn't stolen since he was whining about reporting people that steal his content, quite ironic of him). The guide is quite effective, but the delivery on those guides were so insufferable though, the holier-than-thou energy is clear as day, and just overall unpleasant to watch. Can't go 3 mins into one of his videos before being extremely repulsed. As a fellow SG dweller, we do not claim that ccb as one of our own. By deleting and silencing comments on his channel and discord chats addressing where he was lacking, as well as dwelling on the smallest things of like a widely-known strategy (in that of NL-EX-8) to defame someone, its quite stuck-up of him and just pathetic really. Don't want to slander him too much, but I definitely have a strong distaste towards him due to his attitude and the way he treats constructive criticism in general. Stay strong Kukki, and all the best in Uni!

When Sultifera navis came your guide taught me how to use the boxes to not spawn creep and clear it for my self with my own strat cause I didn't even have a jaye

i used to watch a lot kyo when i started first playing ak but at some point i ended up switching to your guides. and unrelated to this video: In my opinion it would be awesome to see more niche / unique ops for your operator showcases instead of: how to use thorns for example whos pretty much a staple in most teams anyways.

He has stated that he's going to make a showcase for every operator in the game. As for which operator gets a video, sometimes it depends on the upcoming/ongoing banner. He was supposed to release 2 more with Dorothy and Lee for Joint Operation but ig life got in the way. Also the showcases are meant for newer players too, that's why Thorns and Mountain have one.

I don't know this Arkchive, but anyone that makes this much "noise" just to defame someone isn't worth any consideration, I think it's best to just ignore those claims so you don't give him any attention and views.

Arkchive kind of shot himself in the foot with his base video. The comments are absolutely dunking on him. All of the negative comments have significantly more likes than the positive ones and it's approaching the point where combined they have more likes than the video itself. He has damaged his credibility a bit but IDK how much people care about that if they're just looking for a quick strategy to copy. I think you make a good point, if we draw attention to him it just encourages him to keep being a troll so that he can get views and activity. The only challenge is that if we ignore him then he just spreads misinformation into the community that you have to continuously deal with tangentially. Maybe a hybrid approach is needed to just call him out on his BS until people realize not to take him too seriously (even if they still like the convenience of quick stolen guides) and then just ignore him until he goes away.

Awesome uncle as always ...

Kukki GOAT 🗿

(TL;DR at last paragraph, sorry for being long winded) When i watched your guides when they were still out, it feels more like a "lecture" than "guide" (in a good way, like if you had a good teacher in your favorite class). Usually how i did it back when i was a new player was 1) watch your video to get what's happening, 2) watch other guides to know why guides work 3) clear the stage with E1L30/40 3 stars and compensate with higher rarity E1L20s, etc. Which i would say was a good influence for me playing AK (nowadays i learn mechanics then clear with meta then try to clear them with VanguardKnights and still have fun while grinding 3-5 hrs solving the problem, god getting my first CC daily max risk with non-maxed vanguards felt so good) In that sense, i watch your channel for 1) my monthly dose of AK kukki memes and 2) "showcase" videos where you actually explain stuff e.g. operators, mechanics, account, etc. So if you like making that kind of content, maybe just switch your advertising to something like that instead? TL;DR Thank you and keep up with the good work (or not, uni is prob more important XD), and if you ever go back to "guides", maybe switch the title to something like "Event/Mechanic Showcase"? No idea who Arkchive is so not really interested in that :P Thanks kukki :D

I'll always stop by to watch videos you make cause I think they're great. No pressure to go back to making guides if you feel like your passion lies elsewhere within the game but I still remember how I first found out about you. When I came back to the game for CC10, and all the guides always worked like I always remembered. Put this here, put this there. As I'd just returned though, I'd never actually experienced the artillery mechanic in the story. So even though I was following guides, I had no bloody clue how and who the thing would target, why it would randomly nuke my Hoshiguma (because she had on the module for +1 block). It was only because you took the time to explain what was going on that made me realize what was happening. I know I'm just one person, but if teaching was your goal, consider that you had at least one successful student! As for a base guide, if I could suggest something to touch on: 243 vs 252 in a post module world. I feel like the constraints on LMD are much higher than XP now as modules require a mountain of additional LMD, but not XP. I've run a 243, and always put all my drones into the trading post, and the thought of 252 instead makes me wonder. It's not so much a question of production. I fully acknowledge that 252 can create more gold bars and xp, but it feels like while you have the higher production, it's meaningless. Both bases run 2 trading posts, and as I already sink all my drones into the trading post, my LMD production isn't likely to change. This means that I either create more gold bars than 243 (which I can't redeem), create more XP than 243 (which I don't have the LMD to use), or swap my gold production to avoid over producing gold, but then I just create even more XP, which I again still can't use. Either way I look forward to the stuff you've got in the works, and while you may not make guides anymore, thank you for all the lessons you taught during the time you did make them!

one thing you got wrong is that, you cannot overproduce gold, ofc this is more reliant in the operators that you have but overall you just dont overproduce gold because the tp never stops trading even if you switch to producing exp youll run out of gold in a few days. i saved 700 bars once, and i ran out in around 6 days after only producing exp. the advantage of 252, is that no matter your operators in the tp you can always be flexible with your production, either more exp or more gold.

@@a-1455 I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong, but what I notice is I dump every drone I have into redeeming at the trading post, but between the gold I produce (2 of my factories always are on gold), the monthly shop, and the daily shop, I tend to break around even every month. In this case, since 243 and 252 both only run 2 trading posts, my gold to lmd redeeming ability isn't going to change. So yea I could swap all my gold production to xp when I end up with "too much gold", but to my point what I said, what good is more xp when I can't even spend it because I don't have the lmd (which at least from what I can tell, modules put a huge drain on).

Ill say, just have your own niche of fun in AK.

To be fair, I wish there was some website that only gave hints. I looked up one stage already that I got stuck on and so I watched one of those videos and it was like "oh I need to block them there instead of what I was doing", I tried it with my own operators that I have without watching the rest and beat it in 2 more attempts, just a little push to the righ direction is all it takes sometimes.

No spreadsheets lol Anyway always appreciate your videos guide or not

I always tried to beat a stage blind without guide, I used the 30 training stage we have everyday for that

My arknights experience is different from when I started. I just don't want to waste time much in the game anymore that is why I kind of do not like SSS, IS (though sometimes when I start this I just completely engrossed for hours then not play IS again for weeks until I feel like playing again), the new Within Fire mode since I have to play the game and there is no auto. Now my joy on arknights is collecting ops. After 2 years+ finally completed all the ops just months ago (its harder to get all 5* than the 6*). I have all my 6* at least e2 40 and most meta at least m3 and lvl 90 and from here on out I just go in blind with stages 1-5ish which is easy for my roster then just search for trust or afk guide right away for the harder/farming later stages on an event sine I just want it done so I can start the Auto farming. I like it since I maintain my account without really doing much, just doing dorm management every 12 hours, depleting my sanity everyday and depleting all my sanity packs weekly before they expire just randomly choosing a stage if there are no events, LS-6. CE-6 or AP-5 or replenishing my chips. This is the only game in my life that I did not fail to login everyday for the past 2 years given I only need very little time to finish my daily task and most of it is auto. This is why I do not play like Genshin Impact where you really have to play it everyday and the lack of auto on that game.

So, you said your joy in Arknights is collecting ops. Is that REALLY the only thing you like??? Literally every aspect besides pulling on banners is unimportant to you? If so, then why stick to Arknights? There are plenty of games out there that won't "waste" your time with any of that and focus solely on the gacha/collection experience. Some might even do it better than Arknights

on the concept of making videos for viewers to learn: can consider making creative videos that showcase certain game mechanics. e.g. splitbox, flagpipe, rotating perma/semi-perma stuns, handling certain enemies mechanics (e.g. exploding spiders blah). so that it would not just be for 1 stage but applicable to a variety of stages.

I love you kukki mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So when is the boxing match?

I don't need stage guides anymore, I just drop Texas and Yato on enemies

Yeah i was very confused when arkive was dunking on 252. That setup saved me so much sanity

Personally i preferred your guides because you explained what the stage gimmick was and why you chose that operator to counter a gimmick. While i am sad i understand why you wouldn't be doing guides, but i do think an event mechanic guide might be interesting, as itd help the player to understand rather than just copy and doesn't step on the toes of people who just want to get it done because of time (understandably) vs the people who want to play the stages, try out different things, see how their operator can work in that. Of course its understandable if you don't have time to that or if you'd rather focus on other things, since they would take up a bit of time too like arkpedia or operator showcases, those too help a lot to understand the game at a deeper level and makes it easier to adapt to the learning curve 😊

Oh yeahhh that's the 12 paddy fields guy

Your guide videos are conceptual, great for players who want to figure things out on their own, but bad for those who want it that fast. And, not everybody needs to follow the same path. Yours good by its own and it should be kept that way. But, TBH, hearing your words... I can understand as a fellow student, I can see you are bachelor's degree and thesis might come soon, so yeah understandable.

Who cares about guides we want pull videos

Personally i dont watch stage guides because im day 1 player with almost every unit available and m3 + module built so i can no brain brute force stages. I just hope you keep playing and making content for arknights no matter what type, i hate to see arknights content creators quit the game. I used to do stage guides so i know how it is and understand the struggle and commitment required for it. Videos of my old guides are still up on my channel. I stopped long time ago doing stage guides.

This is somewhat we refer to as "cancel" culture. Either he perceives you as a threat / he's wishes to be political in expressing his dominance in the guides he makes in order to attract more viewers, the typical method would be to stir up drama like this (taking you down / use you as a stepping stone), we as humans in nature are tend to be fond on negative stuff rather than positive ones. This kind of thing normally happens quite often in the corporate world. Eg. I dislike this person in the workplace, I go spread negative rumors about him / her "first hand" in order to gain public trust, support from others, then when the "victim" realizes that he/she was being accused for things that he / she did not commit, whatever he / she says later on will have to "ride against the odds" to "prove" his / her innocence, as the public opinion has already swayed towards the "starter" who spread lies in the first place. Anyways Kukki, good luck in creating more Arknights content in the future at your own pace, prioritize studies & health in your daily life, thank you for all your effort in creating past video guides & other contents, I've always enjoyed them & especially watching your live stream till early morning. Those who watch will know how try hard you mix & match around units just make a 4 star only / 1 6 star operator clear for EX stages + Challenge Mode. From: An active 3 years+ Arknight player since Day 1 till date, residing in neighboring country, Malaysia.

yea, the time sink for guide making is real, props to you and anyone in fact, for making those guides. As for the base "war", I suppose most of us just want to know which set up is less of a time sink. Definitely looking forward to your upcoming base videos especially when I can have less micro managing

Are you going to make a Lee guide?

I'm in uni now, and I am more related than I have ever been.

Man, love your content, but for sure you gotta look after your health first and foremost. Keep on trucking mate.

Never mind the base setup, my problem is the operators combinations/rotations. It took a lot of rabbit hole spelunking to find what "Ionized Fiammetta" was... and my eyes were opened, and the bells above let rainbow rivers fall upon my feet as the earth was quickly swallowed by the neverending sky... And that's how my search for operators combinations/rotations ended, it was all thanks to the witch doctor's homemade brew of knowledge.

I’ve watched a few of arkchives videos including the base guide video and I found him to be quite demeaning to people who would do stuff differently from him. Especially his base guide video, I was interested to see why he said 252 is bad cuz I am a firm believer in it and he just said it’s sweaty so don’t do it lmao. Looking forward to ur base guide video!

It's okay...eckogen is killing those vids

I like 2:4:3 for myself, cause my anxiety NEEDS any open objectives cleared, and I just don't want to go through the permanent account damage of destroying my facilities to restructure. I understand 2:5:2 is better, particularly for super-active players like myself.

If you were active you'd have realized that 252 lv1 dormitories prevent you from switching operators as often.

you reminded me of TakDes who uses others bilibili videos do to his .exe videos without even crediting nor putting sources in the description

Making guides hoping for people to learn is existing. I used to do it for miniature games I play such as Infinity by Corvus Belly, it was a drag and eroded my time and sanity. Mine where in text and I do not want to think what I would need to do for a youtube video.

i had no idea the Arkchive channel had these issues (at least in the past) 😥 it's definitely worth clearing the air, sometimes the people making the loudest accusations are guilty. with low-rarity/f2p guide making specifically, there's bound to be some overlap even if an EN/international server player never watches spoilers just because... there's only so many low-rarity operators and strategies! i'm sure this happens in other niches too. on a more positive note good on you Kukki for making the videos you find fulfilling, guides aren't the only way to help new players learn anyway :)

I don't mind you not doing stage guides as much, but I would like to see more content in general from you, it seems very rare that you put out anything these days since I don't do twitch much lately. As for the other guy, I dunno why you should pay any attention to some nobody asshole who doesn't matter. Put him on ignore and prohibit people from talking about it in your chat. I've literally never heard of them before and there's no reason you should worry about their worthless opinions unless they are literally coming to attack you directly.

Arkchive went to attack him directly lmao, that's why he addressed it

Don't give this Arkchive guy attention. He's just spurring drama to get it. His claims about Kukki are unfounded, just like his videos, and aren't even edgy but just straight up sad.

you're one of the only people whose guides were smart and easy to follow. i respect that you stopped making them, but it would behoove people like kyostin to explain the mechanics and general idea of what they're going to do in the stage before starting the guide, rather than making a 12 minute video with rambling and grumbling random complaints at their fans in them so it's very hard to follow.

After bullshitting my way in CC5 I watch guides to see how easy it could've been if my brain was bigger

I'm currently in a hiatus concerning Arknights. It's my fav gacha game but after 3 years I kinda need new main chapters and less side stuff. I seriously got overwhelmed in the last month, so yea hiatus for me.

@@kukkikaze owh! from here it looks like a pair of long shoes!

I use a 2-5-2 base and just swap operators in when they are tired - nice and easy. Anyone ignoring basic maths so foolishly is beyond help, so I wouldn't waste time on them.

hello

I gotta say, i'm sad that people don't wanna learn xD I know, I know, there's too much to do in the world. I'm not hating on anyone who does this. It's totally understandable. I just think Arknights is a ton of fun when you play it xD

Yup that's me... I was making low end module mission but again my motive? Well not many people even try to use low end... Some operator missions yes like the 4 star or so but the thing is... They rather show off than teaching the intern again how does this game mechanic works that might became your supply of knowledge later on. I know relying on guide is bad but hey the thing is guide are not meant to show off your account but teach other how to finish a stage with easier way to achieve it😊

Funnily enough, Arkchive was recommended to me just a few days ago. It took 3 minutes for me to remember the channel to never check back again. Non-sense aside, after around 6 months of malding in this game, i can confidently say that i've reached a stage where i don't really need to rely on guides anymore and if i do, it's mostly a means to get an overview of how the stage plays out, which saves me the time going in blind. Even so, i still enjoy rewatching some of your old guides because of how you approach making them, which gives them more inherent value than just simply guides.

There's always the possibility that both of you used the same strategy, but never saw or copied the other's strategy.

13:14 Its sad to hear that Arkchive copies other strategies. But it's still unconfirmed if he does that currently. I do think its a bit too much to say all his videos suck, as his Reclamation Algorithm AFK video seemed pretty good.

I remember seeing him credit another creator in one of the CC12 daily rotation, so it’s more like just assume he is using the best clears he can find from Bilibili if he doesn’t explicitly say he made the clear himself (which I remember specifically on RA recently)

@@Karyonic ahh makes sense

I respect your choices here, Whenever I did look at guides I did tend to prefer yours over the others, but if I were in your shoes I'd have burnt out a long time ago so I definitely can't blame you. As for 2-5-2 vs 2-4-3, I'm sure 2-5-2 is fine, possibly great even. But, I think that for most new players, 2-5-2 would be unintuitive and a lot of people representing the strategy are really standoffish about it. The only reason I personally am bothered by it is that that discussion took over my base design discussions entirely back in the day to where dorm designs disappeared entirely because people would argue over 2-5-2 being best for well over a year. It definitely got old, especially as a day 1er who had 2-4-3'd their base ages ago and couldn't even bother trying to go that route even if they wanted.

I stopped using guides to play by myself, when i started using guides maxed out every 3 stars to follow guides two years ago, but looking at some people with at least 2 squads of 6* E2 Ops complaining for guides is really annoying... you guys might stop to rely on someone else as if a like or upvote it's enough payment for people to babysitting you for a stage, nowadays i preffer to watch more niche content creators that the number 32145 clear with chalter, texalter, yato alter, mlynar... if you're newbie, guides are for you, but if your account is 6 months old you can try to start using your brain. There is no harm on using your brain often.

I didn't know of this. Recently I've read how Arkchive responds to his comments, and he sounds like the the most insecure ak content creator ever. Can't even call him a content creator if he just rips stuff anyways. Kukki, you've went way beyond normal tolerance for a pos like them. I'd block them immediately if he's using you to stir drama and chase clout.
