Surtr might solve the big boss problem, but Thorns will solve everything else, and contribute decently to solving the big boss problems too.
True thorns is good in everything aside crowded enemies
Thorns will eventually, but reliably also kill bosses.
He was the boss dps for Who Is Real trust farm
Totally true, a few days ago I E2 my surtr JUST TO WIN THE MEPHISTO/FAUST BATTLE... literally I was stuck for more than one year at that map... just to get stuck again in the third map of chapter 5 (the insane infected spitters and big chungus spam is absolutely ridiculous) so having Thorns could really help to clear that unfair map xd
@@sylvandoggo4416 Well I passed that map at the first try: I schwing schwinged Mephisto and his minions, replaced Silverash, and schwing schwinged Faust... there is no many problem a true silverash can't resolve.
That's why they're sort of a meta couple
Would you like having a Sniper without playing any Snipers? Do you like having a stylish team? Do you like Sea Urchins?
Because even if you don't you should still get Thorns. Doctor's orders.
Cheers everyone!
Cheers for you too Mr.Rhodey
Bless my luck please Mr Rhodey
@@mschfz I wish you the very best fellow Doktah, be it gacha-related or otherwise.
Cheers!
In GuardKnights, you can solve anything using only guard.
@@Mr_Rhodey Thank you Mr Rhodey i finally got Thorns!
Dr.: "Thorns, it's time to go trust farming!"
Thorns: "Of course, Doctor. Which stage?"
Dr.: "..."
Thorns: "Right, dumb question."
Maybe it's because I'm still not in the game for long enough, but I didn't got it.
@@Aureels Trust farming is when you try to set up a mission where you can beat it with the absolute minimum number of your best operators to farm both the items from the stage and trust for your operators. Thorns is an incredibly strong and versatile operator who can just about solo quite a few stages at high level. While I may switch out the other one or two operators helping with the farm, Thorns is usually always in it and doing the majority of work.
Tl;dr: I use Thorns for just about all my farming needs
@@awesomesauce980 Yes, all that was the part I understood :p My question was more "which stage are them talking about that seems so obvious?"
@@Aureels 99.9% of them.
@@awesomesauce980 well I just bought Thorns with gold certs, but, with effjalla coming soon in the shop, I'm wondering if I made a mistake here.
Frostbyte I just can't wait for the story about priestess! I hope she still alive somewhere.
Same here, i cant take off from my mind after chapter 8 and vigilo event about priestess. When dokuta have a hard time and must sleep at sarcophagus only her stay beside us.
When i think again about it, when amiya pick we up from sarcophagus the scane really de javu with priestess. And i dont know why amiya so resemble with priestess. It truelly make me curios
Copium
PRTS: am i a joke to you?
@@dezir1811 exactly what popped into my head when I saw that comment
Priestess to Kal'tsit : "Look at me, i am the ex-wife now"
Still waiting for the video that just goes:
Short answer = yes
Long answer = yes
"video ends"
If we get an april fool's operator, then maybe frostbyte will do it
Long answer : " NYYEEEESSSSHHHHH "
That's for Surtr I think...
Texas Alter and Yato alter should've been like this xD
For those who noticed, Thorns skill 3 was originally called Supreme Arts but later renamed to Destreza.
Maybe it was confusing players because they will likely thought that Thorns Skill 3 deal arts damage which isn't the case since his skill is still mainly physical damage but with extra arts damage from his talent.
That's like 30% of the reason why it changed, the other big chunk of reason is because the sheer coolness of *DESTREZA* alone
Not to mention he says "This is the true Iberian Destreza" in the voice line so changing it to "Supreme Arts" is kind of pointless.
you mean the: switch stage difficulty button ?
One of the best guard in the game .
Great sustained DPS, Ground Sniper range and he can become ANY WAIFU!!
Totally worth your pulls, if you manage to get him that is. On the other hand, I think Thorns would be available as a cert shop operators just a few months after this so I think you can still reconsider
It will take 6 months at least to appear in cert shop
Around 5 months is not a few
I mean, it depends
EN doesn't really follow the CN Standard banners so who knows, maybe we can get him sooner than expected
@@ShuraCS I mean, the community have figured out that there's new shoperator every 1.5 months/3 banners, and following the schedule of EN, Suzu will be in around April, Phantom in around May, Eunectes in around July, and Thorns in around August
Ohh well considering that most players would be saving for new ops anyways
they can still hold back on pulling since Thorns, although very strong, is not really a must-have anyways
Should you get thorns?
Me: yes
My luck and wallet: *no*
I got Thorns in a single pull like WTF ?!
Sadly, I got an off-banner Saga, and I'm trying to save for NTR....
Let us cry together, for the gacha gods have abandoned us.
Me who got thorns as my first 6 star…
things you dont know that thorns's s2 synergzes well with his 2nd talent since "he cant attack"
In tandem with Tequila S2 and talent .... ohmygoooood
Been using him ever since I got him by luck at his banner. Very worth an investment. But I guess I'm gonna mastery his 2nd skill in defensive battle sometimes.
Now that his banner is making a comeback, perhaps I would pull for his dupes.
No matter what stage it is always go s3. S2 is bullshit skill if you want hard defense go for defenders instead or hoshiguma
The best Sniper in the game.
A sniper that can be deployed in ground and have a high dps that also could deal arts damage.
Well, in another game he is even a best sniper too 😅
Knew how good Thorns was from using others E2'd version, so I was fully prepared to gacha quite a bit for him. Thankfully I got him in the first 10, so NTR and the other Waifus are still in reach!
same got him on my 10th single pull, I didn't need to touch my NTR Knight savings
@Derrick Cheow unlucky man🤣
Surprisingly got Pot 2 Thorns on my 1st multi alongside Provence so I'm happy. I can save a bit more to get NTR Knight after I went a bit wild trying to get Carnelian. At least Saria came home.
I spent everything I had and got Provence and Andreana instead... 😢
@@RokenDarkly Hey! How are the pulls going? did you get NTR?
One of my first 6 stars when I was new, and I have no regrets pulling for and investing on him. He has pretty much grown to me for the past year
It would be nice if you also show a summary of the materials needed so that we, watchers, will be able to decide for ourselves whether or not an operator is worth our sanity
Agreed
Really? THORNS is the one you pick to make that demand on?!?
Ah if you want a very in depth view of the materials, try Arknights Aceship or Gamepress
You're just giving more work to do. Go to aceship or gamepress. Trust me, making videos is already hard and time consuming enough
Sorry I was just suggesting the idea besides having his opinion too about the needed materials to farm can also be helpful especially for someone who doesn't know how to navigate the websites. Still I appreciate your thoughts
I love Thorns so much
Him and Surtr are always in every team I bring in lmao
Unlikely duo and never interacted in canon but both are super OP so they’re always together in my squads lol
the real question is can you get and build thorns?
I got thorns and eunectus in the same 10 pull while I was aiming for Andreana instead. Still no Andreana :[
The robot voice really stands out compared to the other Arknights Operator guides that only use text captions with no voice.
He spooked me twice when I was pulling for Weedy.
I didn't level him up for ages because of how salty I was.
Now he's one of my go tos. He's amazing
Just got him in 30 pulls :)
Wasn't planning on pulling for him (saving for NTR Knight Banner), but I wanted to expand my roster and I notice I haven't gotten any male operators other than Mountain.
I also heard a lot of good things about his role. So This was perfect timing for me :D
I now have 43k Orundum. I can save up until NTR Knight Bannter which will probably be around 46-47k Orundum. I can technically still pull for Saileach banner, but I'm really worried on NTR Banner due to how massive you can get things there.
Can't wait to level Thorns and be part of my team ^^
I got thorns in 40 pulls (RIP NTR savings) but I also got Hellagur which I don't use (pot 2 now)
I technically got him at 5th pull, I did 4 single pull to increase my chance then ×10 pull. I got him in 14 pulls using permits...
Got him in 4 pull :)
Wow you guys are insane having that much orundum because I only have 3k now huhuhu I don't play sometimes. Good thing is that I already have thorns so no need for me to pull rightnow and just wait for NTR.
@@jetherarroz1118 I don't have that much tho, I currently have 23670 orundoms as of now...
Got him stead of Mumu in her banner
😩👍
Best Guard so far. He mostly tackle every stage and event
Cert shop jumpscare, finally. 🙏
Important to note that his second skill counter attack will not deactivate his regen. So that skill will have him constantly regenerating, which is nice
Still that skill sucks why make thorns a freaking defender? No coura or Hoshi?
@@jetherarroz1118 sometimes you want to give him a break, man
Think about his feelings. Being used like a DESTREZA dispenser must hurt his self esteem
@@tikazombie37 i use 2 skill vs that one boss in originum dust, and it work.
i can see box2 spending his lifesavings now lol
Everything about him is perfect but one, if only it's a she (yes im a waifu simp)
He can be with thornification 😉
He can be whatever you want, even a robot
What do you mean he can't be waifu? (Pointing at Karin)
Thornification exist.
Wdym.
Thorns is a waifu
I dunno man, I'm a beginner player and I got both mountain and thorns in the beginner gacha and gotta say, been using thorns much more right now, he is so strong even at E0 LV50
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
Thorns can be the best waifu, best husbando, best sniper, best meme and best guard simultaneously
Should you pull? If you have enough orundums or pity -or enough luck- then definitely
Here before BOX2 does ..
Thorns is tempting, but I have gone too long without Apple Pie, and the NTR knight is getting closer and closer. Eh, knowing my luck, I'll probably get him off-banner as I aim for those other two, just like how I got Surtr in Under Tides and Dossoles Holiday.
EDIT: For the record, I also got Skalter, Chalter, and Kal'tsit off of those banners as well (hey, ex-wife showed up 4 times as I was trying to get W), with Aak as a small bonus. I'm just saying, off-banners do happen.
UPDATE: After borrowing someone's Thorns for every single map on the current Contingency Contract, I gave into temptation and did a 10 pull on the banner. Then after not getting him, I gave into temptation again and did another 10 pull. Thankfully I got him that time, and hopefully I didn't just shoot myself in the foot with the NTR knight or delay Exu for myself again.
That'll probably be my luck, too. After all, I got a dupe of Suzuran and original of Mountain off-banner (back in the Skalter banner).
@@brianhenderson9124 I think my luck is actually better than that, check the edit.
Still, hope you get what you're looking for.
I got Thorns and Surtr off banner too. That's why i usually skip banners with no limited ops when near limited banners (hoping for NTR knight too)
@@jackhoward8 Personally, I skip all banners that don't have limited ops. The only exception is gonna be the next standard with Exusiai, whenever that'll be...

got thorns just now on his banner, but needed 50+ pulls
Me too 🥲
Thorns is my first max leveled, m3'd operator. Permanent spot on my Support units, lol.
Definitely worth it.
Don't be like me, I ignored his first banner because I'm not a husbando fan lmao, although I got him off banner later. He's such a game changer.
Got him from Angelina banner which was with the Pallas’s banner. Still stays e0 lvl1))))
Careful, don't let box2 see this
@Yoruka alright, I wanted Andreana and got second Thorns… I seriously don’t get easily 5* that I want. Already was that thing with Akafuyu
Just got him today in my first 10 pulls!
I saved for Thorns about 3 months.. 22 single tix & 85k orundum.. pulled for him at 4.30 am.. 4 single tix = he appeared.. lol I'm very happy!
Can't stop laughing at the thumb, FrostByte with the drip it's so cool and funny lmao
I wanted him so bad, I bought the 6* selector solely for him.
Tried to pull thorns, got Mountain instead, guess ill take it
Got thorns on hoshiguma banner as a newbie so good
78 pulls missed the 50 percent and ended up with Hoshiguma. I have gold certs to go for another 38 pull but I will not touch those until the day Surtr appears in shop and I'm a man of my word.
That concludes my journey to get Thorns unfortunately. When I opened my eyes slowly and saw Hoshi's horn, that was some sad shit right there...
Good luck folks, may y'all get lucky and pull him.
Hey you forgot something NTR is around the corner hahahhaha
@@jetherarroz1118 No, I haven't. Thorns just benefits me more than NTR.
Today i finally got him, but not only that, he also bring me Saria n Magallan together.. very gud luck..
I hope thorns wanters will be thorn havers
Will Thorns be in the shop for gold certs this banner rotation? I might actually spend on him for a guaranteed hire lol.
He got a solo banner, not a Standard Banner
So he won't be in certs shop this time
@@FrostByte262 Alas. So, who's in the cert shop this rotation?
Destreza is a must have
one day and i know it
the long answer will be just YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Got him and Weedy on my first 10 pull. Immediately clicked on this video right afterwards.
If Thorns has his S2 and Aak shots him will Thorns do a counter attack?
I've done the testing, and no Thorns does not hurt Aak.
I think yess? Same as liskarm when you shoot liskarm And there are other units around her that will still get sp Battery
Edit : the efect only for enemy not an ally
Got him after 5 singles. So happy after hearing and reading on all the hype surrounding this guy.
I tried my hand in pulling saying fuck it I I'm F2P been saving 60k Orundum pulled for the 1st 4 and got nothing but meh, then the 5th pull boom Exusiai then thought I guess that's it I've finally been lucky then tried again then kid you not I got thorns on the sixth try. Man God must have been smiling towards me I was stunned with the realization that I've got some meta six stars after getting pity pull of phantom and nightingale from previous banners
I love to pull for his banner but considering my luck, my safe bet is to wait for him to be release in the shop by around the month of August this year.
Dude i got like 70 pulls, is it worth trying to gotcha or just save up for yellow cert eventually?
Do some gacha for Thorns
Thorns spooked me on the Mlynar banner, I don’t know if this is even good or not…
Ubergood
Short Answer: yes ; Long Answer: Also yes
FrostByte262: *Should you get and build Thorns?*
Box2: *YES YES YES YES!!*
THis was my luckiest bannner I rolled 40 times and I got him, Nearl AND Mudrock and like 9 other 5 stars Im so happy im crying
Ever since I had him, I never took him away from my team. He’s just a hunsbando meta you cant get enough with
I was so prepared to spend for him but he came in just 4-5 single tix and I was so happy ajdbsj
I got this guy off the "the 1st one is definitely going to be new 6*" banner. Ate my supplies to do it but I won't complain... even if I wanted blemishine so my mudrock could bonk at the speed of sound.. oh well.
I just got him 5 minutes ago :)
Pulling him while saving for NTR. Saga wandered in.
Don't know what to feel at the moment.
Hey Frosty, maybe you need to update most of the Short Answers needs to emphasis with: FUCKING YES and FUCK YEAH YOU MUST GET HIM/HER with certain extremely must-have Operators instead of the typical Yes
Thorns:
- 4x3 ranged attack with skill 3
- Can heal himself with his 3rd skill
- Deals a good amount of damage
- Can solo a stage
- Good enough to deal with bosses
- etc
So yes, you should build him up. That is if you don't have a good guard or are just willing to level up your six stars
This is Dr. Revs, signing out. Peace!
Heal is talent
He can't heal himself while attacking. Its his talent
You forgot his most recent appearance in the Xenoblade chronicles 3 trailer. Even monolithsoft wants a piece of that thorns lmao.
Got Thorns today in 50 pulls with 7k orundum left. Feeling happy rn. I've promoted him to E2. Now i need to M3 his Destreza. Well, time to save for Ling (I'm not interested with NTR Knight)
Blemenshine spooked me at this banner
ah yes just like what i requested thorny boi
It's funny, I pulled him getting the lizard girl last banner so. 2 for 1!
I still looking for that "My friend, I can give you 1000 reasons to pull" comment. We still got no 2nd operator for his "Absolutely YES" approval...
I pulled him as my third pull on his banner and fucking screamed wildly.
He was E2'd a few days later.
Wow... Im just got him...and he and BP will make the poisoning combo
Give me a reason to don't pull a sniper that can hold a lane and very tanky
Please send me, that Dr.Drip 🥶🥶🥶
One of the best "GUARD" :)
Just got thorns and gonna make him my first E2... I already have the materials but lacking lmd and exp
I got Thorns on 30 pulls.. this is not the nicest thing Arknights gave me but considering my desire to get him, this is too generous ❤️
Banner said 50% chance but got 2 hoshiguma instead (back to back)...Im so ready for thorn with mats and xp cards (and skin), i guess there's still time for weekly orun
30 pulls… got thorns daddy. May all thorns wanters become thorns havers.
got him from the first pull this banner. felt good at first until I remember I have 0 resources to raise him to a viable state.
I sacrificed my POs to get Thorns in a x10 pull and I only got Provence and Andreana in return... 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I watch the video even i know and its obvious the answer is YES.
Im torn on who to save now since ijust recently hopped back to arknight. I want thornification but i also want nian for aoi yuuki reasons., Dusk seems nice and ling in the future event.
Just spent everything I frikkin had on this banner. Ended up with saga and weedy. I love 'em both but damn that fucking hurt
….had enough so I pulled on the banner………….honestly I was expecting a 5 star but I started hearing the sound………..and I got him
Thorns is a permanent on my team. Love him so much
After Watching this, i got him when i headhunted on his banner.
im ready .. and his outfit is already a dusty thing in my home 😤
I just got thorns!
I joined late January.
WHAT!? HE IS COMIGN ABCKANSBDH GLAD I SAVED A BIT OF ORUNDUM
Imagine he got module and the module make his 2nd talent regenerate his hp without any condition
Ahhh yes, pulling for thorn and get mizuki. What a great banner😢
Let me save you 4 and 50 seconds:
Yes he is just like how he litterally was all the time
Kyaru, love of my life, formerly Laurent, how are ya baby?? Nice to see you in this comment section too
I think I'll try to pull him within 10 rolls. If i do get him, I'll make a video just to troll box2
Guys, i did it. I got Thorns in 3 rolls
You can call me Box2 cause Thorns refuses to come home.
He's the only guy in my team. I skipped every single husbando banner. Just to give you an idea how good he is even I had to compromise as a F2P waifu lover
Got him in 26 pull, my luck finally back after the horrible 200 pull no 3 star in blue archive
FINALLY 🔥
If i only knew i'm gonna pull a carnelian, then i would've not wasted my soft pity
i really wanna pull him but i wanna save some of my orundum and the permit for nearl alter
edit : aight, i got him with only 11 oull using HH permit, and got hoshiguma too
Thorns are one of most valuable operator to invest
Had insane luck returning to the game though Had to get 50 pulls for chalter after I did 1 10 pull for kalstit got eyja and kalstit after that I did 30 pulls in eunectes and got her alongside elysium and finally did 7 pulls for thorns.
