Please never stop doing Operator Hindsight. The depth of explanation you offer is genuinely irreplaceable and we all really appreciate it, thank you Dragon!
youre honestly a superhero for having this video out literally on character release. hope you're taking care of yourself, eat plenty of food and drink plenty of water! ray seems really neat - on a less optimization focused point, she's the first 6 star cautus operator AND the first 6 star rim billiton operator (if you don't count schwarz), so those niches both got a significant powerup with this patch. looking forward to trying her out, tysm for the video!!
She’s lots of fun and I like the new “pull priority” analysis you’re doing. It’s much more helpful for newer players than the old way it was done. Appreciate the work you put into these.
Incredibly informative as always. The fact you also include information from CN's playtime with the operator in addition to a full breakdown is absolutely invaluable.
I think a way to accumulate ammo to reduce the issues with ammo depletetion would be to use operators that can sleep enemies (i.e Kafka), as this will give both Coldshot and Ray time to reload while the enemies are slept as they cannot be targeted by them, a pity that most bosses are immune to sleep, but I guess this could be use for tanky elite enemies.
I hadn't thought about how complimentary the sleep mechanic is to Hunters for their ammo. Great suggestions. But you are right, you would normally use Ray to destroy bosses, and they are typically immune to sleep. Oh well, still a great idea to counter their main weakness which is a horde of enemies.
I think its a good idea to take out the pull chart thing, saw it get copy pasted to reddit every single time out of context because all people think is "tierlist go brr." I think keeping it simple and within the context of the unit's release (both now and how they look in the future) without directly implying power comparisons via numbers on a graph is a great call. Cheers for the video as always mate!
@@galeria_m Haha I dumped 110 pulls into her banner and got two spooks. I'll just have to stop despite me having lost my Shu spark already :( Grats on getting her!
@@SeyfertCh oh noooo... im so sorry for that....... i bid youALL THE BEST of luck on the Lungmen Lucky Strips that'll run alongside Shu's banner!!! I will pray you get 600 each day!!!
I really like the change in format for the end of the video. It felt highly reductive just ranking Operators by pull priority, and I think it's something players should decide for themselves using the available information you provided. Good luck to everyone pulling for Ray!
Thanks for putting so much effort into these operator hindsights. I really appreciate the depth and detail of these guides, and you make them quite entertaining as well. Hopefully you get some time to rest before the next hindsight.
Thank you for this super detailed guide! I’ve been going back and forth on whether not to pull for her. Her play style is really unique, but I’ve already built Ceobe and I’d rather save my pulls for Shu. I did one ten pull, but she didn’t come home so it wasn’t meant to be ;-; Operator Hindsight is a really amazing series and always informs my pulls, so thank you!
Thank you so much for your wonderful guides, I learn so much about the characters thanks to your in-depth explanations and tips. I'm so looking forward to playing Ray, massive cutie with lots of damage!
The ease-of-usage was not something I even considered before, so thanks for bringing that up. Looking at her kit again, yea, it is quite micro-intensive to get the most out of it unlike Typhon. Now I know, a bit at least, what to say when ppl are asking in the server's help channel about pulling her.
There's one thing that prevent us from pulling Ray: Walter. In other words, she was born at the wrong time, wrong moment. The ranks gamepress concluded, on both degen n ray s3, after 6 month of analysis, are revealed to be: *S3M3 S++ for all 3 major type of content* For the former, we're not surprised - is a thing, will explain later. But for the latter, she has highest dmg per ammo, and meant to mow down tough elites and chain their legs, as long as no trash mobs waste her ammo
@@BooguyTheAdept This a big part of it for me, Typhon already does a lot of what I'd use Ray for so especially with Wis'adel incoming I'm reluctant to spend rolls on what mostly amounts to a sidegrade.
This video is amazing, which at this point is to be expected. I always feel like I get exactly what I want to know about an operator from your videos, so thank you so very much for everything you do!
I was considering getting Ray because of S2 potentials.. but yeah, negative-cycle, as expected from ammo-feature.. thanks for the info (add:holy.. that S3 range.. omg)
I love her so much, it's so much fun stacking range manipulation with s3 plus coconut doggy to basically shoot around corners... and the big dmg numbers! lovely.
It's cool that he adds this detail even tho it will be useful to very few people and these people will either know it from somewhere else or put it in a frame counter themselves. It gives more depth and it's a part of increasing the average player's skill level, by increasing the interest of potentially more casual players to higher end content, which may not have been likely to take note of such details. It's always a positive in my eyes. 👍
I told myself to stop rolling after the first 6 star, and about my 40th set I got jessica alter and Ray in the same 10 pull. So I'll build her for being so nice.
She's a great* operator that is released less than 6 months before a fantastic operator (Ela) and a genuinely game balance breaking operator (Wis'adel).
My brain is so confused with her. On one hand: OMG bunny Kurisu from Steinsgate On the other hand my brains like: "Upcoming characters are Shu, Ela and other R6 characters and Wisadel and Logos" u really wanna use you non existent pulls for Bunny Kurisu?
5:56 I for some reason imagined a scene in an overly dramatic anime of Ray timing the activation of her ability at just the right time to get the one extra ammo
As far as scheduling goes, the only reason as to why they moved Reed rerun is probably to put it in between Shu and Ela banner and avoid back to back limited. But, whoever came up with this idea is an idiot. It's just messed up schedule and Reed being in that position doesn't make it better for anyone really.
I'll give her a chance to spook me off-banner. If she does, I'll build her, if not and i need her - I'm positive plenty of people will have her available for borrowing, CC has a medal for borrowing operators for a reason. I want ling, ela and obviously Lelouche Wi Adel. Im gonna be sooooo broke 😅😶🌫️
9:25 Ah, so that's why in GT-S-1 if she's deployed facing left, she's unable to push the enemies coming from the right behind her into the holes, I've been wondering about that.
Ray's S3 dps is so insanely busted, with or without sandbeast it still does really well. IMO Ray is extremely easy to use and very braindead, since her highest ceiling is purely optional due to her insane performance no matter what. The sandbeast can make her hit really weird spots easily, which just adds to her insanity. Not to mention permabind is great.
fast skill cycle and brute force high def enemies with big damage kind of reminds me of Fartooth. too bad Fart suffers too many restrictions to be viable in almost everywhere.
You I got her in 20 pull, but i used my orandum in other banner like 20 pull, idk why i pull, maybe one tenn pull can make feel addicted to pull. I want Shu Ela W alter and Logos damn.
Please never stop doing Operator Hindsight. The depth of explanation you offer is genuinely irreplaceable and we all really appreciate it, thank you Dragon!
Really appreciate that you put so much effort into these videos. Your knowledge is a Ray of light!
I see what you did there!

Thanks for the vid - being relatively close to Typhon and Wis'Adel is rough for Ray, but there's no denying how fun her kit is

Got Ray and Horn around 50. Im happy. Gl for those who are pulling

THE GOAT!
Just got home, thank you for the video 😊
what a coincidence, Ray too just got home

She came home uninvited
The inner gambling addict took over
Consider me bankrupt now
60-65 pulls if you are wondering
@@galeria_m Thank you!! I wish you the best of luck too!! Hopefully Shu will be the first Sui sibling I can reach without 200+ pulls -_-;;

I'm glad the module wound up like it did, because I wanted to like S2 but it kind of is a trap - and it seems like it really improves it
Thank you so much for your wonderful guides, I learn so much about the characters thanks to your in-depth explanations and tips.
I'm so looking forward to playing Ray, massive cutie with lots of damage!
Thank you for these videos, they're instrumental in deciding who to pull for!
Nice timing!
Love those deep dives into operator kits!
Thank you ! Always the best insight videos
The ease-of-usage was not something I even considered before, so thanks for bringing that up. Looking at her kit again, yea, it is quite micro-intensive to get the most out of it unlike Typhon.
Now I know, a bit at least, what to say when ppl are asking in the server's help channel about pulling her.
I'm very worried, that I will leak/operators-killed somewhere in the map.. because my attention were full on Ray hahah.. thats one thing to consider
Thank you a lot. I love these operator analyses.
There's one thing that prevent us from pulling Ray: Walter. In other words, she was born at the wrong time, wrong moment. The ranks gamepress concluded, on both degen n ray s3, after 6 month of analysis, are revealed to be:

I'd say Typhon also served as a red flag, cuz a lot of people pulled for her. And having both Typhon and Ray is a bit of an overkill.
Also Quibai had this unfortunate luck.
@@BooguyTheAdept This a big part of it for me, Typhon already does a lot of what I'd use Ray for so especially with Wis'adel incoming I'm reluctant to spend rolls on what mostly amounts to a sidegrade.
how many month we get before Walter coming to global?
@@takamiya2344 Around 4 months
goated asf thanks fam
Thanks for the vid! Amazing as always! Good luck on your pull lads!
Wake up babe dragonGJY just uploaded🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
God i love this guy
Thank you always for the great videos!!
This video is amazing, which at this point is to be expected. I always feel like I get exactly what I want to know about an operator from your videos, so thank you so very much for everything you do!
This is probably your best video yet. Really fantastic job breaking down a nuanced kit. And that part about frame data was lovely.
I was considering getting Ray because of S2 potentials.. but yeah, negative-cycle, as expected from ammo-feature.. thanks for the info (add:holy.. that S3 range.. omg)
Thx for your hard work!
Thank you ❤ love your contents ❤
great video I absolutely adore watching you while eating :D
Man, the quality of this presentation is really high quality. Best in-depth explanation of arknight cc, absolutely priceless
Awesome guide thank you!!! I just love Ray so pulling regardless of the coming limited banner
bro the amount of dedication and information you put into a single operator is insane, keep up the good work my GOAT
I have so much respect for these videos. They are the absolute gold standard of analysis and are extremely well designed and scripted.
I thought your pull analysis was pretty spot on and useful for contextualizing game planning.
Don't really know what to say, but just wanted to thank you for making these, they're great and very informative!
The pull analysis section is very helpful compared to the previous format. It provides much insight for both early and veteran players!
Thank you for these videos, they're really helpful
thx for the video
I love her so much, it's so much fun stacking range manipulation with s3 plus coconut doggy to basically shoot around corners... and the big dmg numbers! lovely.
Great content as always. Well researched, shows pros and cons of skills and usage tips.
Any reason no schwarz in comparison graphs?
Dont pull Ray, I lost the first stage of her event because I was too distracted admiring everything about her:)
still the best AK info source on yt
your quality and consistency is outstanding
After watch this deep analize clip ,how dare me not sub this ch.
Love the new segment of "pull analysis", much more usefull for people who does not care about "meta pulls"
Great work! Thank you 👍
Counting frame is crazy 😂 I always check hindsight everytime new operator come out
It's cool that he adds this detail even tho it will be useful to very few people and these people will either know it from somewhere else or put it in a frame counter themselves. It gives more depth and it's a part of increasing the average player's skill level, by increasing the interest of potentially more casual players to higher end content, which may not have been likely to take note of such details. It's always a positive in my eyes. 👍
@@dragichav2810 yep I said 'crazy' not in negative means, its just HE REALLY SO INTO IT to explain the frame to frame for us 🥲😂
Next banner is Shu right? Damn i need to consider my pull i really want Ray
I told myself to stop rolling after the first 6 star, and about my 40th set I got jessica alter and Ray in the same 10 pull. So I'll build her for being so nice.
shes cute
The most important part of an operator.
I'm gonna called it. Lappland Alter archetype will be the same as Ray, Hunter. Zarro will be the equivalent of sandbeast for Lappland
Incredible stuff man
Great quality video as always
I got ray in a random single pull...i love her now. She the reason i beaten so many levels.
Awesome video as always!
21:20 wtf, I swear man, everytime I watch ur video I alway came out knowing some new obscure trick that I couldn't even imagine off
She is a total package. If you are not lucky with W² then she is THE best option.
she is unique enough to me and also, Kurisu
i cant hear you over the sound of Ray shooting.
jk thanks for the analysis as always. ill finish it after i enjoy quality time with my rayray
Thanks for battling the EN schedule! T_T
she is as beautiful as her theme song
not bad operator on bad timing release
She's a great* operator that is released less than 6 months before a fantastic operator (Ela) and a genuinely game balance breaking operator (Wis'adel).
@@MindayKalanaNot like Ela wasn’t also breaking BN15 IS#4 as well, Walter is just super duper game breaking.
My brain is so confused with her.
On one hand: OMG bunny Kurisu from Steinsgate
On the other hand my brains like:
"Upcoming characters are Shu, Ela and other R6 characters and Wisadel and Logos" u really wanna use you non existent pulls for Bunny Kurisu?
thank you sensei!
Respect for 29 minutes our bro is cooking😎
5:56 I for some reason imagined a scene in an overly dramatic anime of Ray timing the activation of her ability at just the right time to get the one extra ammo
As far as scheduling goes, the only reason as to why they moved Reed rerun is probably to put it in between Shu and Ela banner and avoid back to back limited.
But, whoever came up with this idea is an idiot. It's just messed up schedule and Reed being in that position doesn't make it better for anyone really.
Thanks for the reviews! In short, skip because she's not wisadel
Wish you could have gone more in depth with how to use her S2 correctly, otherwise great video!
Dragon is 7 star.
Hehe, sitting there with my Ray in 30 pulls and keeping future funds while many people skip
Im gonna build ray because i heard she is good in the upcoming cc#2
I'm watching this because I got Ray on my 2nd single pull when I was only pulling for Warmy
I'll give her a chance to spook me off-banner. If she does, I'll build her, if not and i need her - I'm positive plenty of people will have her available for borrowing, CC has a medal for borrowing operators for a reason. I want ling, ela and obviously Lelouche Wi Adel. Im gonna be sooooo broke 😅😶🌫️
9:25 Ah, so that's why in GT-S-1 if she's deployed facing left, she's unable to push the enemies coming from the right behind her into the holes, I've been wondering about that.
So while watching the video, I pulled and built Ray to e2 LVL 70. I see cute bunny I pull cute bunny
Got her with 60 pulls, i'm happy.
For S2 sandbeast might as well be unlimited duration...
Ray's S3 dps is so insanely busted, with or without sandbeast it still does really well.
IMO Ray is extremely easy to use and very braindead, since her highest ceiling is purely optional due to her insane performance no matter what. The sandbeast can make her hit really weird spots easily, which just adds to her insanity.
Not to mention permabind is great.

as afknight enthusiast, its really funny seeing some six star have really bad afk skill. yes im looking at you pozemka
Should I gwt hwe if i have pozemka or should I save for future events

At the defense level that Ray can’t deal with I have a silly dog ready to take over
Worried about getting 620 points in cc2 without Ray, but I’ll find some other solution. Need to save for shu+ela
You I got her in 20 pull, but i used my orandum in other banner like 20 pull, idk why i pull, maybe one tenn pull can make feel addicted to pull. I want Shu Ela W alter and Logos damn.
@@timkochany7309 look up Pard's easy 620 clear. You don't need Ray at all and Typhon uses her S2
I have ray but I gonna put her on support with skill 1 lvl7 🤭
There's an easy 620 clear with Typhon S2 and no Ray
@@farellaksmann8659 go rate off on typhon too. Truly the unluckiest gatcha player 😔
kinda sad to not see Ash on the DPS Sniper graph comparisons
When will you make a Nymph and Mitm review?
In 6 months. He does reviews when operators are released in GL/JP.
