yea i was actually pretty interested when they first announced it but the fact that it ended up like this and then they had to nerf it to water it down is really disappointing
This is why you test things first before pushing a new permanent gamemode you have to grind manually. Imagine you have to manually farm coop or Interlocking Competition every 2 weeks
@@yuperstrikes7358 With some adjustments maybe. Biggest one I can think of is 2x speed. Both players agree to toggle between 1x and 2x just like pausing
The funny part is that even permanent integrated strategies does not have a grind schedule attached to it. You can play it as much as you want or not at all and it doesnt make a difference. In fact the rewards for permanent IS are even capped to decourage you from grinding it too much (I usually max my cap in just a few games a month which ... imho kinda sucks because IS is a lot of fun for me) Why did they do the opposite of that for SSS?
Yeah, one of the key strategies in deck-building games is getting powerful cards and synergies and making your deck as small as possible to maximize your chances at pulling off your planned and developed strategies. From your video, it seems like as you progress you’re forced to increase your deck size as stages get more difficult which just makes progression much more challenging 😅
@@narius_jaden215 At least live with this comfort: You can still complete the game without the stage 3 modules, since some are virtually useless, so you can just not farm this mode Unless you wanna go for high risk CC, in which case: My condolences
That danger meter sounds like risk of rain’s difficulty mechanic… but you can’t complete the level quickly because you’re limited by how the enemies spawn and move down the paths.
When 2 ops with cracked out phys attack like uncle horse & gavialter are supposedly our "opening lane holder" till we can get the rest of our setup done.... you know damn well something is sus.
25% HP per level is just stupidly high. Period. Anyone who's played for a good while knows that increasing the Time To Kill is one of the worst things. Max HP and Time To Kill are almost 1-to-1 related. So the result is... at 4-12 stacks you're gonna take 2-4x as long to kill a single enemy (before any other effects) so now you have to be able to tank for 2-4x as long while also not allowing enemies numbers to build up due to not being able to kill fast enough.
Plz guys this gamemode is fun. Every 2 weeks you only need to spend a minimum of 2 hours grinding the stages and getting the modules for your operators that already cost more than my car loans!!!
My Slay the Spire experience told me that sometimes, having a small deck is great. Not everyone can handle a big deck after all, the draws get harder and you never get what you need.
Came here after SSS released in global I was looking forward to this mode... but it just left me thoroughly disappointed. Hard doesn't mean fun, and the 'starting danger level' is not fair at all for your deck esp since there's no item/artifact/relic to buff your team. It's hard to create synergy with your team, because each stage requires different strat, but you only have one deck that you have to bloat with useless 2 op after every stage so you can buff your OP. And since you're pree much forced to burn your hand as soon as possible, moreso in higher levels. I love arknights so much and how creative they could be with creating challenging modes... but this is not it. This is just a game being made hard for the sake of being hard. Such a shame, it had a big potential to be actually fun, and I was really looking forward to playing this mode.
To be honest I think this gamemode probably could've benefited a TON if they just,,,, slowed down the enemy scaling and/or made their base stats much weaker. As it is, it does fit the feel of Arknights quite well, still being heavily strategy oriented. They really just need to fix that enemy stat scaling. Also if they could make it more friendly to those who don't have a big roster, like for example all operators have some minimum level like e1 max.
I don't think that matters. From what I've experienced so far, the reason this mode sucks so much is the forced stacking mechanic. Because of that and the low deployment limit I'm given, none of my operators could move or die, or else I'll lose all the buffs so I'm fucked. You can't really improvise well in this mode, so you just hopes you can establish your good OPs before a big wave came and hit you.
@@xaf15001 I agree that deployment limit could be higher too yes, and I think the enemies should be somewhat tough because simply put, the stacking mechanic is really fun. It's obviously intended to be used, which I personally am fine with. More deployment slots could add some more versatility to the gamemode, but I still the the enemy stat scaling should also be toned down. Put this all together and the gamemode might actually end up being tolerable
Ah finally, the Girls Frontline RNG difficulty has arrived in Arknights. Honestly it doesn't sound *that* bad so far, but maybe that's because I'm used to having my teeth kicked in by Darkest Dungeon RNG and GFL Night Missions. (I imagine I'll regret these words in time.)
So this is my just my conspiracy theory. They make it as long and tedious because long playtime will look more attractive to Investors? Since they kinda deleted annihilation playtime.
I actually got a perfect run on one of them recently (hidden badge, woo), and basically you need cycle. I start out with 3 vanguards (Myrtle, Texas, Bagpipe in my case), Mudrock, Durin, Goldenglow, Passenger, and then straight supporters. Ideally the cheapest ones available - Sora for example is fantastic. Open with 3 stacking vanguards on Mudrock, and she'll hold the line for a good while. build up a caster stack as fast as possible by spamming supporters to build cycle - first map done. Afterwards you want cheap snipers (try to stay away from expensive ones if you can, though if you're at 0 snipers taking even one of the pricy ones is fine), 1-2 more casters, 1-2 more vanguard, and then as many supporters as you can get. I build passenger at 2 sniper 3 caster, and Goldenglow at 3 sniper 2 caster - keeps the abilites flowing and the attack rate high. If you get another carry like Chalter or something over the run, great, but for most of the run the Goldenglow/Passenger combo works a treat. But in essence, you need to identify 2-3 carries in your starting team, build towards maxing them asap and keeping mostly supporters for cycle. I've tried it with Blaze and power guards and stuff, and they just eventually get trampled. By map 8 even a speed spinning Mudrock gets overrun. The scaling is terrible and unlike good deck builders you can't get rid of old cards or pass on adding. I always take the removal module as much as possible to make the cycling more effective, but it's still distressingly RNG on the last map due to deck bloat. It's a nifty idea, just feels poorly designed. I enjoyed the first few runs, but it's pretty tedious at this point.
Me, watching the several early gameplay from the early part of the video: Hmm sounds a bit frustrating but at least it's does not seems too hard. And then I saw Tytus killing Penance in what looks like a 1v1 fight. *Sigh*
So this finally came to global, and my personal experience is that yes, the increased difficulty per time in the match is stupid, and the health increase as well, 25% per level?? Honestly, i would prefer that they still had the levels, but it will not scale per time, instead it will just be each time you get the break time it will increase 1 level, that way it will be less stupid in terms of difficulty and also stall strats would work better for this mode, also make the hp increase per level to like 15% of health, other than that I really love the idea, the mechanics and all that stuff, maybe it's just be who lo ves card games in general and this is like the closest that we will get from a card game in arknights, is just that the level increase is the main reason why people don't like this mode at all.
@@pokokuyo51 i mean it's mentioned i think that it was worse or something, but a card removal mechanic? How would that even work? Also, are you saying that the enemies should be able to do it or the doctor?
@@RandomPotato106 if you ever played slay the spire (or any deckbuilder game,really), it's very important to have a compact deck with usefull synergies. In StS you can choose to pick a card or not,and you can remove unneeded card with event or shop. Now with SSS,not only you're forced to take 2 operator,you also can't delete them,so you're stuck with bloated useless deck. Lets say at 1st floor you had 14 ops with perfect synergy. Now at 8 floor you have additional 16 useless ops that makes your draw RNG heavy.
@@pokokuyo51 oooh alright my bad, i misunderstood what you were trying to say, just a choice to delete a card, well in this case, operator from your deck and also to choose not to pick extra operators in every run, idk why i thought of a whole different think like disruption to your hand mid match.
Everything in this video makes SSS sound like IS2. Unreasonable enemies, too much RNG needed for your units to function, only worth playing because of the rewards it offers, don't need to properly win to get said rewards which is a big saving grace for the mode, and the unfortunate realty of no automation for the mode.
the game mode had potential, but they should have made it a limited event, like CC0, IS1 and MC, just to see if they should keep doing it, instead of making it a permanent feature. I hope it gets an overhaul.
@@haezer7171 That's true but my main concern is that I imagine it would take a while for them to reword the game mode if they did it that way and it failed like people seem to think SSS is failing.
I am. SO GLAD. I got GG as soon as I could. 'cause I am absolutely going to be farming this mode for Lee, the hunters, Mizuki, and Ling. At minimum. Knowing how reviled this mode is, I do not look forward to it. ...does it cost sanity to do a run?
oh right yii, i just realize on Temporary Equipment Side A you putting the after update version for supporter buff the previous one actually draw 1 random ops, gain 15 point Idk if HG will release it directly to the update version or pre-update but it's nice to mention hto
Great, my IS2 battle pass is not even half cleared because I can't be bothered with doing anything but mindlessly farming event stages in this game, and now I have another gamemode to clear just to get limited rewards
So, is the primary problem that enemies scale too hard, too fast? I'll have to see for myself. It might end up being just like IS though, where I try bashing my brains out for a little while and then get sick of it and stop trying. I never even beat Lucian in IS2 because it always feels like a ridiculous amount of RNG crapshoot to even get to him.
That basically a definition of rogue like. You go through stages in random order, collect random buffs and kill the boss. Lucian is quite easy if you just happen to find attack speed buff relics, or if you just have enough damage ops.
I thank that there aren't that many good upgraded modules. Tho I also have a lot of the cracked units for this mode, it'll be fun at least for a while.
I honestly thought this mode was an exchange of a chore to annihilation, but incredibly harder! And x2 the chore.. you really need a lot of well raised ops and be RNG reliant.. but honestly, it feels good when you finish it, just gotta memorize how the map works
So, how was the nerfed version of it? Is it still a painful process? And, are the notable rewards only the second/third module upgrade mats? if so, don’t think i’ll be needing it lmao.
I think it's the worst addition to Ak period honestly. The concept of the card-style mechanics are interesting and kind of cool but the actual loop of a tough, monotonous manual grind every two weeks (for now) with bullet sponges makes it incredibly annoying and unsatisfying gameplay-wise. Farming and fun should be separate with farming being autorepeat else it'll just increase the burn and not in a good way. It's too long, too hard and the only means of consistently getting mod upgrade materials so you have to deal with it if you want those. I'd give up annihilation skip tickets to have this auto after you beat it the first time as anni autos take a while but it doesn't burn, you can just chill doing something else while it does it's thing.
I think the mode would be fine if they made it so that every mine has it's own bonus rewards and the rewards rotate with the reset. The mines can have material drops (1&2-white, 3&4-green, 5&6-blue, 7&8-purple), LMD/records, or maybe chips and skill books. But they would have to increase the reward limit or make it so that every mine has it's individual limit. As is, there's way too little rewards for the trouble of clearing it.
After this new gamemode came out, my first impression that is its very fun and entertaining, but it does not last long, after few weeks it got me bored and now i didn't even bother to playing it for like 2 months now, the rewards ain't that amazing anyway
Lmao and here I thought having 1 paid acc and 4 f2p accs to satisfy my gacha addiction is a great Idea. I haven't done IS properly on my f2p accs now they are going to add another pain in the ass mode. Welp I guess I just need to focus on my main.
The problem is with SSS is the time it needs to be finished is so damn to long that will put off and if you don't have that 1 dedicated braincell you'd be stuck for more hours
GRAAAAGHHHH I HATE SSS

Great, my IS2 battle pass is not even half cleared because I can't be bothered with doing anything but mindlessly farming event stages in this game, and now I have another gamemode to clear just to get limited rewards
5:32 if Skyfire know about this, she burn everything
It sounds like they wanted to implement Slay the Spire in Arknights, but failed at it.
IS seem to work just fine tho.
A Vanguard reference? In a Yii video? Never thought I'd see the day
NTR s1 m3 with 5 guard buff having 6000+ atk shed every one to bit is very satisfy
First? Alsof i just hope this comes fast. I finna need to get lol 3 spalter module xd
it should come out in 3 weeks after cc
So, is the primary problem that enemies scale too hard, too fast?
I'll have to see for myself. It might end up being just like IS though, where I try bashing my brains out for a little while and then get sick of it and stop trying. I never even beat Lucian in IS2 because it always feels like a ridiculous amount of RNG crapshoot to even get to him.
That basically a definition of rogue like. You go through stages in random order, collect random buffs and kill the boss. Lucian is quite easy if you just happen to find attack speed buff relics, or if you just have enough damage ops.
I thank that there aren't that many good upgraded modules. Tho I also have a lot of the cracked units for this mode, it'll be fun at least for a while.
You need bars? No need to go to the mines, just ask Emperor and hell get you sorted :)
7:15 I SEE YOU'RE A MARTINCITOPANTS FANS AS WELL
Favorite game mode for masochist
So this is how we get module upgrades? Guess I’m only getting abyssal hunter for meme shenanigans :/
hearing all of this now just make me wanna cry but still imma grind it for my ntr knight
I, unfortunately for some, am willing to go through hell so that my coura can no longer receive physical damage (and I like hard shit w/rng).
Got PTSD from the GFL ost, couldn't focus on the video, but SSS must be a super fun gamemode!
Ok what operator are a must to upgrade their modules, i guess Gladiia, Spalter, and the rest of the fish team, anyone else?
upgrade who you want
mods are supposed to be for endgame stuff anyways
@@HiImYii i see, welp i'll see if in this year or the next (or next) i upgrade some operators, thanks
@bird nice, i do have her, i should start building her since is still E0
fully stacked Ceobe with S2 and +200 ASPD is fun tho
Seemed neat on reveal months back but when you put it that way that's kind of a bummer
"The sign cannot stop me coz I can't read it"
Perfect, I have none of the mentioned ops, let's goooo can't wait
AUTO ANNI DIED FOR THIS SHIT MODE
I honestly thought this mode was an exchange of a chore to annihilation, but incredibly harder! And x2 the chore.. you really need a lot of well raised ops and be RNG reliant.. but honestly, it feels good when you finish it, just gotta memorize how the map works
So, how was the nerfed version of it? Is it still a painful process? And, are the notable rewards only the second/third module upgrade mats? if so, don’t think i’ll be needing it lmao.
it only rewards 2nd/3rd mod mats yea so if you don't care, then you don't have to mald :)
@@HiImYii nice to hear lmao
Can you craft the 4 tier material?
1:01 old vanguard game
At this point i if ak becomes a gambling game for real money im not surprised
I think it's the worst addition to Ak period honestly. The concept of the card-style mechanics are interesting and kind of cool but the actual loop of a tough, monotonous manual grind every two weeks (for now) with bullet sponges makes it incredibly annoying and unsatisfying gameplay-wise. Farming and fun should be separate with farming being autorepeat else it'll just increase the burn and not in a good way.
It's too long, too hard and the only means of consistently getting mod upgrade materials so you have to deal with it if you want those. I'd give up annihilation skip tickets to have this auto after you beat it the first time as anni autos take a while but it doesn't burn, you can just chill doing something else while it does it's thing.
This one actully looks very fun tbh. Now EN WILL have to read
Bruh I have to play this for the module upgrades? Wtf. I guess I have to pick n choose who I wanna level I guess :/
Yu-Gi-Oh prepared me for this
_And it's now coming…_
I hate to say this, but Ling helps me a lot in SSS (Kalsits is also good)
8:12 "I can only pray we get the updated version on release". Well, from the way SSS works, I think that did not happen.
HG plz put "sweep" thing before u add another time consuming RNG end game mode
The very first question a good game designer asks themselves: "IS THIS FUN?" I think someone missed the memo with this one.
I think the mode would be fine if they made it so that every mine has it's own bonus rewards and the rewards rotate with the reset. The mines can have material drops (1&2-white, 3&4-green, 5&6-blue, 7&8-purple), LMD/records, or maybe chips and skill books. But they would have to increase the reward limit or make it so that every mine has it's individual limit.
As is, there's way too little rewards for the trouble of clearing it.
This game mode is bullshit, it's harder than is2, even cc is easier
Ya ile live with my modules at level 2 at most
After this new gamemode came out, my first impression that is its very fun and entertaining, but it does not last long, after few weeks it got me bored and now i didn't even bother to playing it for like 2 months now, the rewards ain't that amazing anyway
IS 2 exist
me: nah man this is hard
this game mode exist
NAHH MANN THIS ULTRA HARD
Lmao and here I thought having 1 paid acc and 4 f2p accs to satisfy my gacha addiction is a great Idea. I haven't done IS properly on my f2p accs now they are going to add another pain in the ass mode. Welp I guess I just need to focus on my main.
I assume this game mode isn't new player friendly then...
this is endgame content for module upgrade, so e2 lvl 60+ average.
Mmmmm yes more rng in my gacha strategy game uoooohhgghggggg AAAAAAAAAAAA
The problem is with SSS is the time it needs to be finished is so damn to long that will put off and if you don't have that 1 dedicated braincell you'd be stuck for more hours
Idk if i would be eager to play this mode, but i might play it anyway
