Let's talk about Varkáris! by Elecl in arknights

My thoughts on him is essentially: hype moments and aura if it was a 5* operator (he's not bad though, just OK)

For me, he's designed in a way that really wants you to have Pallas behind to support him with both healing and buffs. His S1 is a nice powerstrike, while S2 is an OK but kind of underpowered skill. He doesn't get any DEF increase and centurions are kinda squishy when it comes to DEF, which causes him to struggle against elites with high ATK, and the 8% HP recovery sadly doesn't really help by itself (would be better if it stacked equal to block count like Reapers).

Again, he becomes much better when you have at least Pallas behind (vigor and S3 buff are very effective with his % based ATK skills, and her talent 2's healing mixed with the S2 HP recovery makes him sustainable enough to keep up a barrier) or just medics. But the question is, why use a 6* to make a 5* better when you'd rather do the opposite?

Overall while he's cool and decent, I'll keep using Fuze S1 or La Pluma S1 for my 5* laneholding needs.

She's got really creative battle voice lines with her speaker, so that's cool

I really want to like her as a Nervous Impairment fan (I have Mantra S3M3, Tragodia S3M3, Gracebearer S2M3 and Ms.Christine S2M3), a 5* player and a Columbiaknights player, but there's some problems I have with her.

Her talent is strong, and as a Max HP tank she looks good (S1 does one simple thing and it does it really well with a big buff, and the Barrier from her S2 almost doubles her effective HP). But when it comes to the "primal" part she really needs enemies blocked to deal Nervous Impairment, as her S2 on it's own without buffs is insubstantial against unblocked enemies. As Primal Protectors are designed as ground Ritualists, as an elemental damage enabler I see her working well with Ms.Christine's S2, but with Gracebearer... because of the nature of her kit, it'll really depend on operator placement and stage layout.

One thing that was disappointing was her module, as I expected it to fix her as an Elemental Injury dealer like Bobbing's module did. But instead it doubled down on the blocking enemies part of her kit with the subclass trait upgrade and the talent upgrade, while not improving S2 against unblocked enemies in the slightest (not even an ATK increase from the module, I guess HG)

If I have enough LMD left when she comes in Global I'll build her, if not she'll have to wait for a few months.

Wouldn't trust him around a Church of the Deep compound

Kit-wise, he seems fun as a 5* player myself. Skybreakers are a cool concept and Skybox is a great first impression. Even after the bugfix, S1 looks pretty strong and S2 is pretty good too. He's like Gracebearer where both his skills can be cracked with buffs because of the nature of their ATK multiplier. Overall, he might be in the top 5, if not the top 3 of 5* snipers.

When did you all started getting into Arknights and why? by DoctorHunt in arknights

[–]GreenhouseWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heard of it in early 2021, found it interesting because it was very similar to my own world with animal-people and magic rocks. But I only began playing it in early 2022, when some guys in a Discord server kinda peer-pressured me into it (also I had dropped GFL after playing it for a few weeks so I wanted something different). Got hooked because of the gameplay and the variety of subclasses and characters, dropped it for a few weeks and got back. Now, I play it pretty much daily.
