@@narius_jaden215 thats what im saying, im like why not use both? There's nothing bad about using both. Same goes for Schwarz and Pozyomka, you can use both together
I TOLD you if the comically large fork came into contact with the comically large spoon that the resulting S2 yell would level the facility, and Dorothy finally shows that I was right. 😅
another point I'd like to add for the pozyomka/schwarz comparison: pozyomka's typewriter is both her advantage and weakness. it makes her more versatile, but on maps where there are no good tiles for the typewriter she has less total damage than schwarz
After the SpAlter banner I'm definitely saving up for S̶u̶n̶d̶o̶w̶n̶e̶r̶ Gavial Alter. She's carried me as a Medic from the beginning all the way to now, so getting her is a must for me.
This is an example of a case when it is very easy to get lost in damage charts while trying to compare two operators, so I generally use this rule of thumb when comparing Schwarz and Pozyomka: 1.- If we don't include the typewriter, Schwarz will always win. Even Schwarz S2 beats out Pozyomka S3 while the latter is aiming at an enemy directly in front of her. This effectively means that Schwarz will always have the better range when alone - It's just a matter of choosing between S2 or S3. 2.- If we do include the typewriter attacking the same target, Pozyomka will always win before we reach around the 2000 def mark. The typewriter will always be available during her S3's burst window, totaling better ST damage than Schwarz. In conclusion: - Pozyomka is better at holding a single lane than Schwarz is. - She can also hold two lanes at the same time, albeit with a lower damage than Schwarz would do defending each one of them separately. - However, if you are required to hold different lanes at different times, Schwarz is better. Her redeployment time is a lot lower than Pozyomka's, and she still benefits the rest of the squad with her talent while on CD. This means that Pozyomka is better in "static" maps. If the main enemy wave constantly changes - Such as chapter 9 pillar maps, H8-3, or IW-EX-8, Schwarz will be better.
Ik it’s gonna sound stupid but. Why not use both. Like since pozyomka type writer can be deployed and is basically another pozyomka. She can use her third skill while schwarz use her skill as well and can both hit the same target. Plus with the added buff from schwarz. I see as an absolute win
ebenholz is probably the most frustrating operator balance wise cause if he just maxed his stacks before attacking it would fix all his problems right now you have to hope the bosses arent sleep immune
@@Pika-sp9cs well many bosses probably have extreme weight, not allowing you to push them, and with regular enemies if you use Weedy S3 they will probably die from her skill right away
@@Pika-sp9cs better ideas: use kafka or Buff army since Ebenholz talents and S3 damage increase allows him to 1 shoot almost any boss once all of his charges are stored, so better get ready your warfarin, pramanix and ifrit if necessary
How to fix his S3: Apply fragile/res shred/some other status effect to target. Doesn't attack enemies affected by this skill's effect. That's it. Allows him to build stacks against bosses and adds some utility for fun as well. If the rider is too strong you could just put a marker that does nothing on the enemy for the same effect.
Ah, so glad to see another ebenholz enjoyer, also love how you actually found a fair comparison to why schwarma is not comeplety powercreep by pink woman (although I think poziomka benefits more from warfarin's S2 than Skalter)
You know bud, there is a Guard in VanGuards and Irene and alt Gavial are Guards. So take it from me Rhodey, the Guard Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Join the guard side Rhodey. Cheers!
Definitely going for Ebenholz, his design is neat so is his e2 art. Plus, i really need him for LE event story for one "specific" reason, if you know you know Edit: put quotation marks on the wrong word, english is sometimes confusing kekw
I think this is the first time in a while I’ve something about Ebenholz that was pretty positive (also no Eyja comparisons! Maybe one day soon casters can escape that hell) Anyway I was already planning to pull for Ebenholz after Spalter but this vid made me consider going for Gavial as well
Ooooh, the typography of the skill explanations, icons, and transitions really got the upgrade starting from the previous video. It's really way more pleasing to look at now.
Thanks for the reference, as usual! Nice to see a relatively positive assessment of Ebenholz. I kind of wonder if Logos will show up as a 6 star caster and what unit type he'll be, since his description screamed Mystic Caster but Ebenholz focuses on killing Elite and Boss enemies ... Personally I'm skipping him admittedly lol. We don't get infinite orundum after all. I love Indigo for reference Great to her that Schwarz didn't get powercrept either. Would be *horrible* if HG blatantly creeps older ops. The whole point of this game revolves around unit kits after alll
@Derrick Cheow Hoshiguma S2 still has uses for now. The impression that Gavial the Invincible crept Blaze still seems pretty strong too. Condolences if Hoshi S3 is a favorite skill of yours
Shoot, honestly all of these operators seem very fun and interesting to use, especially Ebenholz and Pozyomka to me. It's gonna be rough saving for all these operators.
I'm going all in on Ebenholz myself and I'm happy you acknowledged some of his good points. Plus given Passenger I have enough copium that he'll eventually get buffed a bit to do his job better.
I have a bit of a problem with the Pozyomka section, not sure if I'm being too picky Arknights balancing have been kind of iffy recently, and Pozyomka exemplifies that greatly there have been a couple of double Archetypes Holder Coexisting peacefully such as [Thorns/Silverash] [Exia/Ash/Cheetos] [Angelina/Suzuran/"Gnosis"(to some extent)] but Pozyomka kit is so ridiculous in the scheme of things, because Schwarz niche wasn't dead/weak in the first place, far from that it excelled greatly when you needed that high single target burst, while Pozyomka also does it... but better 1. Schwarz does better against High defense enemies! A : While that is true, This is mostly misleading, because there's almost no enemies in the game [Story/Event] that have enough defense to actually make use of Schwarz High DPH to pierce their defense thus making her deal higher damage against said High Defense Enemies (Enemies need to have around 2K+ DEFENSE for Schwarz to actually start out DPSing Pozyomka "alone", which is an insanely High amount of DEF) exception being CC because they vary wildly 2. Schwarz has that unique range to still edge out A : While yes, Schwarz range is still highly effective and that +1 Tile do make a difference in some cases, this just disregards that Pozyomka have only 1 Tile less than Schwarz [4 vs 3 Tile Forward] BUT she still somehow holds the 3 Tiles to the left and right side for a total of 6 Tiles which quite frankly probably holds more value than exchanging 1 Tile, there's many maps where you use Schwarz S3 to kind of consistently burst snipe high threat enemies, but how many shots you're getting is once again dependent on the enemy being mostly in range ie them moving up/down from her straight line, making this skill (kind of) map dependent (kinda, not really, s3 is just strong lol) while Pozyomka doesn't suffer from this issue, and if it does become a range issue she just has an invincible summon to "extend" her range for some reason, this doesn't help the fact that Pozymka shoots Twice as fast than Schwarz does (not including Typerwriter) meaning the amount of shots being done effectively within range will be a lot higher 3. Schwarz Defense Reduce Talent? Nitpick : Pozyomka Typewriter whilst not having the chance to crit like Schwarz, in essence just holds the same amount of Defense reduction Schwarz has (Both are 20% Reduction if Pozyomka has max pot) but it also has a stronger reduction when in the 4 Adjacent tile from Pozyomka (25%), And all of TW attack inflicts the debuff while Schwarz needs her skill 3 to be active to Increase the chance to 100% 4. Typewriter! A : This is the most egregious part, her summon essentially doubles her damage whilst costing only 5DP, No Deployment Slot, is deployable anywhere in the map (of course it has to be ranged tile though), Invincible (Like Skadi Seaborn), Has the same range as Schwarz S3 (4 TILES FORWARD) when skill 3 is active. WHY? No "Non-Summon" deployable should be doing this much damage but somehow it does??? Conclusion, does this mean that Schwarz is bad or just worse than Pozyomka? no. because Schwarz was never bad, she was already good in the first place, With her Module she gives Snipers attack buff just by being in the Squad, She also now has a weird niche of Semi Fast Redeploy from her module, which honestly isn't bad (Ignoring that Typewriter is also a Fast Redeploy with 5 Second Faster Redeployment time and doesn't take up a deployment slot) Then why am I writing this all out? because whilst both of them seems to hold different niche and kits, they mostly do the same big red numbers as they are supposed to, but Pozyomka edges out in almost every scenario, which is alarming honestly "Just use them together, why are you comparing both of them in the first place?" you're clearly missing the point if you say this to previse this again, I still use Schwarz, she's a great unit to have and is really powerful, but Pozyomka is stepping on her toes a little bit too much, essentially doing the same Job but better, to basically just summarize it as "Both are good" is a little weird to me that's it, great video otherwise, love your vids Yii
Not only all of that but they also gave her dodge ignore with her module, that was one of the only things keeping Fartooth distinct from her peers but Hypergryph seems hell bent on having ops keep stepping on each others’ toes.
@@magiccaster4587 I find this not as much of a problem than my original stance on it, i wanted to write about it at first on the post but i refrained there's just too much enemies pumped with dodge now that we need some variation tbh, and this dodge ignore is in tandem with the archetype original trait "High Accuracy Point blank shot" and Schwarz second module will also have the Dodge Ignore + The Damage Multiplier Talent so I just didn't care as much at that point i just think it's f up, that a summon is dealing Schwarz Level damage, Pozy is basically bringing 2 Schwarz it's insane
@@Ginko77 I recalled someone saying Schwarz had had it in one of her modules too but it slipped my mind, I think it’s even worse in her case since she has such similar usage to Fartooth both in terms of range, skill cycling, and being high damage / low aspd. Really I think the big problem (which you highlighted perfectly while talking about her absurd typewriter) is the effort needed to put in to maximize damage. Fartooth has such stringent requirements in comparison to an op like Pozyomka who can just shit out damage without many downsides, the same goes for widely considered game breaking ops like Surtr, Ch’alter, Ling, etc etc. Ops like Fartooth (or Ebenholz since he’s mentioned in the video) would be more viable if everyone required the same amount of care put into them.
@Derrick Cheow I agree in theory, I just think it’s bad when the two examples of ops getting it recently involve a long-standing amazing op and her new direct counterpart with an already insanely versatile kit. The gap between the best ops and the mediocre / bad ones just widens more and more with modules and giving them dodge ignore just worsens said issue. Provence needed dodge ignore, not Schwarz or Pozyomka.
The catch with Pozy's S2 is that you can't use it if she don't have a target herself, wich IMO reduce the versatility her typewritter CD reduction provide.
Gavial and Pozyomka are the best ones to pull out of the 4 of them, considering they are on the same banner, you're gonna need a lot of pulls unless you're super lucky. Both of them are also pretty strong but unfortunately even with their strength combined they still can't beat Goku.
@@zonni_ I mean goku canonically crushes rocks by yelling at them so I'd say crushing them with his abs is totally out of the question since they'd shatter by being in the same zip code thus gavial would win
Just saying pozykmka s3 deals a bunch of damage is probably not enough... Chalter might be a good reference point. The expected damage of chalter is 106320, while poz s3 is ~144000, and 120k when not directly at front (assuming everything is maxed outed) with 1.5+ times dps. (I know chalter targets multiple, but she does have one of the best damage even when targeting single enemy) Where she really shines is in Integrated Strategies, the typewriter itself can deal with most of 3rd level bosses and most elites, also she can kill the 5th level bosses without too much Relics. (ignore doges, enough damage for the lock, and typewriter could just re-deploy every 30s for Troupe Mouthpiece). And for gavial, the interesting part is that the S2 lasts 40s for every 35s cd. So imagine if you have another short cd long duration skill. (basically Unlimited duration)
Gavial is just blaze but if you simply want to burst rush. While blaze is simply just don’t do anything and let the magic happen. Either way both are unique and still usable to some aspect. Hell just use gavial s2 and have blaze behind with s2 so gavial can pull enemies while blaze grinds them up as well. Absolute chainsaw win
Even though the editing looks clean, the mish mash style of clean text and animations on the skills section and the funni low effort on the introduction skit kinda makes the video less astetically consistant, I think it's best if you pick one style and stay consistent or find a good in-between, anyways, just some food for thought. Great video as always!
In terms of all banners from this list Ebenholz is my top priority. He’s a husbando and in a way mini W with skill 2. I’d say this is his bread and butter. kill 3 seems meh, once charges are gone it’s questionable. However yes you can use sleepers to fix his charge thing. And priority on elite is interesting, I’ll probably m6
Watching this vid again, good to see how useful Pozy's typewritter being immune to debuffs can be on this Break the ice rerun lol, this thing almost solo'ed Degen.
All these operators look great, I'm pretty interested in Dorothy her kit seems interesting. I'm broke right now Namie got all my orundum in Goldenglow banner lol 😆, won't have much for specter alter.
Schwarz or Pozyomka is a question that can be answered with me finding the exact tile where an enemy can be speedran without external buffs basically both leads to really funny numbers but is hard to actually get working in a few cases
yes i like to pull for stars, if we concatenate 69 supernovas that result in black holes and then we let their mass merge we should be able to pull up to 6 stars in the vicinity towards it
I don't know why but both Specter Alter and Gavial Alter's Kit looks quite a bit bland, but I'm still looking forward to pull for Spalter, because her E2 art is just amazing.
gavialter (or gater lmao) and Pozyomka (ursusian wolf? you do you HG) dont outright powercreep operators that was already there meaning that finally, HG learnt how to balance operators for once, it's nice.
Blaze have 2 range attack and infinite duration, gavial 1 range and burst damage on a short duration? Who is better? Well Gavial with Blaze behind her.
Ever since Great Chief Return I've replaced my Shining with Gavial, so I'm just as excited to pull for her. Also just think of the tanking potential of Gater's S3 and Skalter S1. Just casually 75% damage reduction. Perfectly balanced.
What do you mean Mr. Yii? Gavial heals our soul by watching her mow down the enemies :D Also, I'm surprised that I haven't heard Sundowner's theme from MGRR coz of her title
Im still set on aiming for irene and ebenholz and possibly gavial Eben is an op that i would have fun messing around with on all stages possible, and gavial alt because chainsaw wielders are cool
14:00 great When she was released people were carzy and insisted she is definitely better than schwarz with no catch of course thinking of whole map poz give you more of possibility but for a high defence single target you can make more out of schwarz
Ah, the lovely state cn is in right now. The khaghans running wild everywhere with bursts made traditional afk guards basically screwed as they now deal too few damage and die quickly at the inflated mobs. I for one welcome our new kheshig overlords.
I've seen Ebenholz S2 used for some fun stuff in IS2 but that's the only reason I'd pull him. The rest look fine but honestly nothing strikes me as hard as these last 6 months have. :pain:
i feel like hg shouldve made it so that ebenholzs s3 made it so that he couldnt atk until he was at max charges. that would take advantage of his subclass trait and his added atk speed from the skill.
UNIQUE - IGNORE PAIN: Stores 30% of all post-mitigation physical and magic damage received, including on Hybrid resistances shields, which is successively taken as true damage over 3 seconds instead, dealing a third of the stored damage each second.
cmon hypergryph. 3rd module for ebenholz just has to say "only attacks at max charges" and he is the burst mashine with his S3 and can actually benefit properly from the even further increased stored-attack power. If i wanted splash dmg i would take an aoe caster...
The best comparison I've seen people made for Gavial Alter vs Blaze is like how SilverAsh and Thorns are for Lord archetype.
Comparison on point
Literally the first comparison I've made
was thinking the very same thing
But it a fair comparison, blaze was a consistent aoe guard like thorns while galter was more of a burst aoe guard just like SA.
@@cefrinaldi8060 that’s… not what the original comment is saying…

Man if only ebenholz s3 always stored the attack first before unleashing it he would be a true "boss killer" for sure
I have a bit of a problem with the Pozyomka section, not sure if I'm being too picky
Arknights balancing have been kind of iffy recently, and Pozyomka exemplifies that greatly
there have been a couple of double Archetypes Holder Coexisting peacefully such as [Thorns/Silverash] [Exia/Ash/Cheetos] [Angelina/Suzuran/"Gnosis"(to some extent)]
but Pozyomka kit is so ridiculous in the scheme of things, because Schwarz niche wasn't dead/weak in the first place, far from that it excelled greatly when you needed that high single target burst, while Pozyomka also does it... but better
1. Schwarz does better against High defense enemies!
A : While that is true, This is mostly misleading, because there's almost no enemies in the game [Story/Event] that have enough defense to actually make use of Schwarz High DPH to pierce their defense thus making her deal higher damage against said High Defense Enemies (Enemies need to have around 2K+ DEFENSE for Schwarz to actually start out DPSing Pozyomka "alone", which is an insanely High amount of DEF) exception being CC because they vary wildly

A : This is the most egregious part, her summon essentially doubles her damage whilst costing only 5DP, No Deployment Slot, is deployable anywhere in the map (of course it has to be ranged tile though), Invincible (Like Skadi Seaborn), Has the same range as Schwarz S3 (4 TILES FORWARD) when skill 3 is active. WHY?
No "Non-Summon" deployable should be doing this much damage but somehow it does???
Conclusion,
does this mean that Schwarz is bad or just worse than Pozyomka? no.
because Schwarz was never bad, she was already good in the first place, With her Module she gives Snipers attack buff just by being in the Squad, She also now has a weird niche of Semi Fast Redeploy from her module, which honestly isn't bad (Ignoring that Typewriter is also a Fast Redeploy with 5 Second Faster Redeployment time and doesn't take up a deployment slot)
Then why am I writing this all out? because whilst both of them seems to hold different niche and kits, they mostly do the same big red numbers as they are supposed to, but Pozyomka edges out in almost every scenario, which is alarming honestly
"Just use them together, why are you comparing both of them in the first place?"
you're clearly missing the point if you say this
to previse this again, I still use Schwarz, she's a great unit to have and is really powerful, but Pozyomka is stepping on her toes a little bit too much, essentially doing the same Job but better, to basically just summarize it as "Both are good" is a little weird to me

Both of them are also pretty strong but unfortunately even with their strength combined they still can't beat Goku.
Did Goku canonically crush a rock with his abs? If not idc he is weaker than Gavial.
@@zonni_ can he beat Durin?
@@zonni_ I mean goku canonically crushes rocks by yelling at them so I'd say crushing them with his abs is totally out of the question since they'd shatter by being in the same zip code thus gavial would win
In Cell's arcs Light Yagami used the death note on Goku (It's super effective!) => heart attack => Shinigamies > Sayans
Newer style of video? Oh Yii you shouldn’t have( nice video and thanks for the heads up for future ops)
Irene's levitation can let dorothy slide traps directly underneath enemies!
You got Pozy's name right btw. Also with her addition Lupoknights is kinda cracked, just need a healer and you have basically the full squad.
Just saying pozykmka s3 deals a bunch of damage is probably not enough... Chalter might be a good reference point. The expected damage of chalter is 106320, while poz s3 is ~144000, and 120k when not directly at front (assuming everything is maxed outed) with 1.5+ times dps. (I know chalter targets multiple, but she does have one of the best damage even when targeting single enemy)
Where she really shines is in Integrated Strategies, the typewriter itself can deal with most of 3rd level bosses and most elites, also she can kill the 5th level bosses without too much Relics. (ignore doges, enough damage for the lock, and typewriter could just re-deploy every 30s for Troupe Mouthpiece).
And for gavial, the interesting part is that the S2 lasts 40s for every 35s cd. So imagine if you have another short cd long duration skill. (basically Unlimited duration)
this dude's profile pic is Mystic Mine run
@@ashuraahunter oh god you're right
Gavial is just blaze but if you simply want to burst rush. While blaze is simply just don’t do anything and let the magic happen. Either way both are unique and still usable to some aspect. Hell just use gavial s2 and have blaze behind with s2 so gavial can pull enemies while blaze grinds them up as well. Absolute chainsaw win
POG EDITING MR YII ARKNIGHTS
Even though the editing looks clean, the mish mash style of clean text and animations on the skills section and the funni low effort on the introduction skit kinda makes the video less astetically consistant, I think it's best if you pick one style and stay consistent or find a good in-between, anyways, just some food for thought. Great video as always!
i will hire animators just to make amiyapog: the anime
@@HiImYii Amiya Pog would finally become the Demon King of Terra
fr fr i think it looks fine though but i understand where youre coming from :)
I'm pulling for Pozyomka... because of her voice. Being voiced by the same VA who voiced LycoReco's Chisato helps.
I love you for making that gavial borderlands reference
In terms of all banners from this list Ebenholz is my top priority. He’s a husbando and in a way mini W with skill 2. I’d say this is his bread and butter. kill 3 seems meh, once charges are gone it’s questionable. However yes you can use sleepers to fix his charge thing. And priority on elite is interesting, I’ll probably m6
Woo yeah ebenholz he's so cool woo give him now
Watching this vid again, good to see how useful Pozy's typewritter being immune to debuffs can be on this Break the ice rerun lol, this thing almost solo'ed Degen.
This videos thumbnail is somehow very accurate to the current situation
Your pronunciation of Pozyomka is actually pretty spot on!
I’m going all in on Dorothy, she looks like such a fun operator.
All these operators look great, I'm pretty interested in Dorothy her kit seems interesting. I'm broke right now Namie got all my orundum in Goldenglow banner lol 😆, won't have much for specter alter.
Schwarz or Pozyomka is a question that can be answered with me finding the exact tile where an enemy can be speedran without external buffs
basically both leads to really funny numbers but is hard to actually get working in a few cases
yes i like to pull for stars, if we concatenate 69 supernovas that result in black holes and then we let their mass merge we should be able to pull up to 6 stars in the vicinity towards it
ebenholz really have a good taste, humu humu
I don't know why but both Specter Alter and Gavial Alter's Kit looks quite a bit bland, but I'm still looking forward to pull for Spalter, because her E2 art is just amazing.
same i will save more for spalter than galter...gotta catch all the abyssal waifus
New Yii video, neat
That thumbnail of Dorothy crying is so perfect
You actually pronouncing Pozyomka correctly, just with accent, you are fine my man
Another banger from Yii
Yii has anyone told you your voice sounds like Beavis from Beavis and Butthead?
btw, take it from a native russian speaker, your ponunciation of Позёмка was fine.
gavialter (or gater lmao) and Pozyomka (ursusian wolf? you do you HG) dont outright powercreep operators that was already there meaning that finally, HG learnt how to balance operators for once, it's nice.
Blaze have 2 range attack and infinite duration, gavial 1 range and burst damage on a short duration? Who is better? Well Gavial with Blaze behind her.
I am for sure saving for Gater. She was my medic early and mid game and we'll see more of her!
Sameee, my go-to four star for is2 as well
Ever since Great Chief Return I've replaced my Shining with Gavial, so I'm just as excited to pull for her.
Also just think of the tanking potential of Gater's S3 and Skalter S1. Just casually 75% damage reduction. Perfectly balanced.
Ebenholz is machine translator, he is must pull and have
Yii, as a russian, I can say that your pozyomka pronunciation is good enough
Dorothy is still nowhere to be seen god damn it
Finding out Yii is also a classical music fan is the best thing I've heard of all day!
10:45 perfectly said
cant believe they added two more schwarz into the game
I'll go all in for Pozy
I can read future that yii-senpai will make video about cantabile
Pozyomka sounds pretty interesting to get, and I do like her OST. Gavial is a must seeing as she was my first 4-star E2.
What do you mean Mr. Yii? Gavial heals our soul by watching her mow down the enemies :D
Also, I'm surprised that I haven't heard Sundowner's theme from MGRR coz of her title
:D CUTE! n.n
Are these... boss-killers... with us, in this room?..
Im still set on aiming for irene and ebenholz and possibly gavial
Eben is an op that i would have fun messing around with on all stages possible, and gavial alt because chainsaw wielders are cool
Im excited for the twist mr yii arknights will make for his 30k subs vid compared to his 20k subs vid
14:00 great
When she was released people were carzy and insisted she is definitely better than schwarz with no catch of course thinking of whole map poz give you more of possibility but for a high defence single target you can make more out of schwarz
ebenholz looks like male talulah and thats a win!
Ah, the lovely state cn is in right now. The khaghans running wild everywhere with bursts made traditional afk guards basically screwed as they now deal too few damage and die quickly at the inflated mobs. I for one welcome our new kheshig overlords.
10:59 "LSD is a semi-synthetic hallucinogen", certainly one of the yii quotes of all time
I should not have laughed at Dorothy's spork as much as I did 😭
0:18 i hate the fact that blue lobster immediately came to mind when that played
I've seen Ebenholz S2 used for some fun stuff in IS2 but that's the only reason I'd pull him. The rest look fine but honestly nothing strikes me as hard as these last 6 months have. :pain:
a yes dorothy
I waiting for Ulpian. Or more Abyssal/Aegir.
Would Andreana Alter possible?
Yeah, Imma try for Позёмка and Gavial Who Had Enough
Galter + Nian's plus 1 block count = +6 block count shenanigans and I'm all for it.
i feel like hg shouldve made it so that ebenholzs s3 made it so that he couldnt atk until he was at max charges. that would take advantage of his subclass trait and his added atk speed from the skill.
UNIQUE - IGNORE PAIN: Stores 30% of all post-mitigation physical and magic damage received, including on Hybrid resistances shields, which is successively taken as true damage over 3 seconds instead, dealing a third of the stored damage each second.
so what you're saying is that I can have 3 Schwarz targeting the same enemy? which banner is she in again and how long do I need to wait for her?
ebens 2nd module is currently bugged which doesn't help either
Gaviel was everything and beyond what I expected specter alter to be.
0:18
YOU-
Gavial banner is a must pull, both the rate up is crazy
As someone who play for fun the only operator i want I this video is Dorothy because that bomb looks fun
No matter what, I will be getting dorothy xD.
I'll pull few on the other ops but I'll use all my resources just to get Dorothy cause I'm a Rhine Lab ops -simp- user
gater is a funnier name though :( ~~also isn't +180% technically almost triple since it's a 2.8x mod~~
"increases her attack by almost double her base amount"
which is increases attack by almost 200%.
you and zaf told me the same thing and my response is high five to the comment above me
@@HiImYii something is wrong with my hearing nvm
cmon hypergryph. 3rd module for ebenholz just has to say "only attacks at max charges" and he is the burst mashine with his S3 and can actually benefit properly from the even further increased stored-attack power. If i wanted splash dmg i would take an aoe caster...
Where's the Metal Gear Rising reference for Gavial the FUCKING INVINCIBLE!
I actually forgot about Pozyomka and thought it's straight up Mlynar after Gavial Alter. Damn. Poz looks really neat for IS2 tho...
S3 gavial Alter is literally a Death's dance from LoL
I just want Skalter.
Not gonna pull unless it's a limited banner meta unit, I even skipped skadi alter for ch'en alter. No regret.
