Arknights Units EVERYONE Should Build

Keep up the AK content Kou! Also if you're a newer player, do not ignore your 4*s. A lot of them are insanely good for a long time. My favourite is Cutter and she gets even crazier with masteries and her module. As for 6*s. Saria. One of the most versatile units in the game. The fact that she's a launch unit and is still top tier after almost 5 years speaks for itself.

Going to pull a Dr. Silvergun and say Pinecone is a high priority to build. She is very strong just at E1. Her S1 can hold THREE charges at only skill level 7. Most skills can only hold 3 charges when you mastery them and that requires a fair amount of resources for a new player. She does incredible AoE, has high enough attack to pierce through even medium to high defense, and can be very flexible with skill usage, either using it every few seconds or saving up all 3 charges to unleash hell on a tough wave. And while I’m here I’m going to say I love Vigna and you should build her because she is my waifu and idc if she’s not super meta

Commenting to algo boost Dr. Kou's Arknights content. Also vouching for recommending both Specter and Gladiia (with her maxed module) because with their shared Abyssal Hunter faction buffs, they make a solid lane holding duo in any game mode early, mid, or late game.

You forgot to mention gladila module make the enemy universal

I would also recommend Perfumer, specially in the early game stages, as some of them features poison maps, and Perfumer's talent is more than helpful.

Damn I looked away for a bit to suddenly see you upload a lot more variety! Would love to see more Arknights, always fun to see how people tackle the game (and commenting to boost algo!)

ngl if I remember right, I used Durin as cheap bait in my first Patriot clear. The 2/1 stars all have interesting niches that can be used flexibly, like Justice Knight applying fragile to aerial units. I've been playing for 4 years and here's some more to add: Mousse, much like Melantha, is a single block unit that can do lots of damage, as Mousse is an arts guard and ignores defense. She got me through most of early game and she was my first E2. Someone else mentioned Pinecone and I can't recommend her enough, with def ignore and a spammable s1 she's one of my favourite units even into endgame.

Great suggestions! I also saw you had a non-E2 hungry doggo (Ceobe) and I would say that she has been amazingly useful for me in later-game content, especially with her module

Some honorable mentions: Gavial and Sussro are really good healers. gavial has a strong heal with regen effect with her skill and sussro's limited heal is solely because of how strong it is. Silence is extremely powerful and a carry healer with her 2nd skill and she seems to appear pretty easily on the free recruitment thing ( just try to keep grabbing healer tags). She can deploy a bot that heals per second in the area surrounding the bot which can help augment her healing ( and keep Surtr alive) or use as free heals for targets outside of her range. In a lot of stages: she is fully capable of solo healing with little to no effort. Also, dont underestimate Amiya. She is quiet strong as a caster and strong in her other form later. Dont sleep on the bnuy daughter Edit: forgot to mention: hibiscus is a good cheap healer as well and perfumer especially if you plan to use a summoner team is a REALLY good choice to get since she aoe heals and has a global regen; and the regen IS affected by her skills. For supporters: generally Orchid will get the job done if you ever feel the need to slow an enemy. Also, dont... Sleep on podenco, her 2nd skill is very good at slowing bosses down ( was really useful during CC12 with redblade)

2:50 Meteor sitting in the corner crying for not being mentioned *almost forgets that Meteor isn't a free operator, but let's be honest: she isn't hard to get in recruitment thanks to her tags so maybe not for completly new player, but for people who try cc out: scene and bibeak are solid operators that you can get in a good amount of days, depending how good your team is and the operation oyu try to tackle on a other cheaper recommendation: orchid and general the 3* operator orchid, as she can slow enemies down and deal arts dmg, usual something that works good in combination as most arts weak/def high enemies are slow aswell doberman very important if you use 3* as she buffs them good and is a neat extra dps

7:19 no crownslayer was hurt during this take

Although this was not discussed in the video, but I think it's also worth mentioning characters with useful skills for the base. For example: Vermeil, Scene, Click. These are all the operatives that everyone has, and they don't have to be upgraded to the second elite in order to unlock the second skills to work in the factory and bring a bunch of EXP. Somewhere on the Internet there is a table with similar combinations of operators for the base, so I think it's worth making a video about this in addition to this one.

Gladiia’s module at lvl2 removes [sea born] tag. Giving 28% dmg reduction against any dmg except true and 800 arts dmg per tile pulled. She’s busted asf.

3:14 kroos deals more dps than jessica even if jessica is at E2 8:14 not having myrtle S1M3 is a crime

full pot lvl 1 Ho'olheyak...

Also if you're new player, raising 3* is worth it. I thought they're all beat by 4* or 6* that I should prioritize. But I didn't realize there is IS then, where 3* are significantly cheaper. tbh I Still haven't raised Midnight, and I think he would be one of the most versatile units in IS..

The biggest weakness i have right now is not having many of the 3-4stars levels as i keep getting distracted with my 6stars great for story and events but its a pain for IS

I would also recommend E2 perfumer for new players as that global passive healing was always clutch for me when I started playing👍

May > Jessica tbh

worth mentioning to keep gravel at e0 for that sweet cheap cost 4 and spam her freely.
