    Thanks to this banner system Eyjafjalla has become rarest non-limited operator to get since you can't get her in recruitment unlike other kernel operators
  • @kirby8626
    This video made me want to create a second account where I only use kernel operator and welfare
  • @galuhdesuka7378
    i agree, a lot of people consider aak is trash or just troll operator but with mod 3 module he is pretty good
  • @lufasu9725
    I got 2 top operator at recruitment yesterday at same time i got hoshi And sadge i pick vanguard and got seige instead of bagpipe
  • I would put Eyja, Nightingale (also known as goodbye arts damage), Saria and Bagpipe in a tier of their own. I would also bump up Mostima to A or even S, with modlvl3 S3M3 she can do some ridiculous things. (I even saw her get used in high risk stultifera navis CC on CN with skill 2 to deal with them dodge enemies). Otherwise i kinda agree, good job.

    New player (10 month) here, I'm very sad that I upgrade Hellagur to E2. He can't hold lane and killed by every boss (I got him via recruitment while I played EP10) I got Hoshi as first 6 star. In early story (EP1-11) I didn't use her because of cost. But I just found her is the REAL TANKER in EP12-13. Bagpipe E2 is drug. I can't fight without her.
  • @Nobreza0804
    Highly disagree with Shining's placement when she is the one used in challenging content, she's a solid A within this tier list, at best Shining's SP cost harms her as a unit
  • @yogi_gs
    Ceobe is more niche than ifrit. Ifrit Should be in S and ceobe in A Nithingle should be in S "medic is not priority untill you desperately need it". shining should be in A. Her + def buff is good and her heal is also masive. Hoshis is A. coura and other defender can replace most of what she can do. (She stil doin btter job btw ) Rosa B tier the reason is the niche and need module to bcome better. Angeline is B Reguler Chen is B Helagur is also B This my personal opinion btw.
  • @bloodred255
    minor edit' schwarz FIRST module reduces her redeployment time, she has two modules. and unless you are doing 2 op clears with schwarz and poze, you probably want the other one. I would drop magallan below B tier because of all the 6 star kernal operators, she's the only one most people will never find a use case for. could also consider nuking Siege and Shining because texas and warfarin are superior in almost all cases.
  • @gnoy2548
    140% DP recovery for casters, 90% slowing in big attack range, true AOE high art damage. naaaaah... B tier
  • @plutoadmirer9904
    I do believe that eyjafjalla, bagpipe, and saria are on the tier of their own above your s tier. But i agree with the rest. By the way, are there schedule for kernel headhunting? When is Nightingale going to be in the shop? 1.5 years of playing still missing her, i really loved her design since the first time i laid my eyes on her lmao.
  • @bonlnw3844
    Bro, Ifrit carry me every content in the early game
  • @DiscerningGaze
    When I started playing, I got Hella as my 2nd 6 star, and his Y module is really bad compared with the X module. The extra life of the Y module can come in handy sometimes, but the X module makes the threshold for max attack way easier to get and the sanctuary at low hp is straight up a game changer, so yeah, it's not even close how much better his X module synergises with his kit. also, you rarely use skill 3, both skill 1 and 2 are better for his job of soloing big enemies, sometimes I need the extra aoe, but it's rare.
  • @harunammie4898
    Even with the clone mechanic, phantom is eh... Like it comes down to whether you are willing to spark phantom with gold certs when the limited banner allows us to spark texalt from it.
  • @sadmansatter
    Are there any changes in best farming stages now that episode 13 is out? Also any idea when next kernel locating banner might be? Have enough gold certs and wanna get Eya.
  • @Bylov6812
    Very based of you to pronounce Eyjafjalla correctly!
  • Was excited for Bagpipe in kernel, but she depleted my whole 70 pulls and still no bagpipe ToT
