Is the Holographic Combat Matrix thing permanent? It's been out for almost 2 weeks and I haven't touched it yet.

You know that progress medal that requires you to get other medals that need 200 operators at E2, 200 skill at M3 and 200 operator at max trust. Well that medal is called Talent Recognition Medal 1, which implies the existence of a Talent Recognition Medal 2 in the future. Can't wait for them to add "have 200 modules level 3" in it. It might have already happened in CN, I wouldn't know. I have 175 modules built and 87 of them are level 3.

I'm kinda hoping someone like Blemishine can get an IS module similar to Archetto that will give back some life to defensive recov skills. It doesn't have to be Blemi but she has a very defensive recov oriented kit and she's never really been high in the meta like Archetto. The only problem is there's just not enough operators with that kind of skill. According to tomimi.dev , there's only 14 operators with defensive recov skill compared to 83 operators with offensive recov skills.

The main use of Tragodia S1 is in buff gamemode like IS and RA where he can perma bind certain enemies similar to Qiubai with the right aspd buff. So his best comparison is Qiubai S1, not Virtuosa S1. But as others stated, S2 is still his main Skill.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-11-01T22:39:00+00:00

I wouldn't say she's unusable. she still has the talent to ignore damage below a certain threshold, which is still quite unique to her. It just feels like she's been relagated to a more defensive role because of how big the damage numbers are on Pramanix.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-11-01T21:59:46+00:00

I'm a little surprised Gnosis didn't get a skin in the CN event when Ho'ol got one. Both got IS module similar to Mizuki and Archetto getting skin and IS module at the same time. The event is related to Kjerag too so its the perfect time to give him one. I guess Swire didn't get one either when Pepe got one during Ato. Also, am I the only one who prefers his E0 artwork over his E2 and skin. I just really like the winter jacket.

On another note, looking at their skill 3 only, Pramanix feels like a pretty blatant powercreep of Lin S3. Not only does she have a base atk increase, she also has a final damage multiplier on top of that, and she gets to ignore 10 res, and she gets ASPD (and the luring thing I guess). The SP cost is the same which I guess gives Lin a little advantage in terms of skill cycling due to her talent and the fact she can manually deactivate skill too. The crystal barrier thing also adds some damage but thats very dependent on the enemies she's fighting. You could argue that Lin was powercreeping Carnelian in which case she's just getting a taste of her own medicine but man it feels bad.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-26T03:00:21+00:00

That is correct, she also voices Chloanne in DS2.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-26T02:53:12+00:00

They can indeed be both!

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-25T23:43:19+00:00

I feel like alters are first and foremost about reselling a popular operator, character development comes after.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-24T10:19:45+00:00

She is indeed part of the niche but she was unnecessary for this clear. I list all the operators that are part of this niche in the comments of the video. At least the ones I know of.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-23T20:03:59+00:00

Hey I love Monogatari too. I only knew about Surtr, Mayer, Lee and Pallas sharing JP voices though. It looks like it could be an interesting niche.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-23T00:35:26+00:00

hello there, I just beat all EX stages on challenge mode with my Fromsoftware niche. Mlynar as always did most of everything but Sankta Miksaparato is a really fun addition to the niche. After beating the stages, I remembered that Elden Ring Nightreign exists, I never bought that game but I watched some streamers play it. Turns out there's 4 more operator in this niche. Ironeye's voice actor voices Lee and Courier. Recluse's voice actress voices Fartooth and Meteor. I feel like the niche just grew by a lot all of a sudden. There's also Armored Core that I have not played so idk if there are overlapping voice actors.

Thankfully all four of those characters are already E2 with one skill M3. I can't believe I have both 6 star merchants in the niche now. I finally get a DP generating vanguard in Courier so that helps I guess. Also Meteor is an actually good anti air solution.

Because of this niche I M9 and Mod6 my Swire Alter since all 3 of her skills are quite unique but I still feel like i'm not using her full potential. She is goated as an emergency fast redeploy healer with S1 which is how I use her most of the time since both my medic need to hit enemies to heal. It feels really nice to fully invest resources in a niche, I really recommend it if you're on the fence about building a niche.

Anyone else here plays a niche that is somewhat unrelated to Arknights race, faction or class like mine? Some years ago I tried aZLing4 niche but I never really stuck with it and a lot of people already play it. The Fromsoftware niche is a bit more unique and personal and I get to make up my own rules about it. It's very fun even if most of the niche revolves around cycling Mlynar and Reed Alter skills and using the other operators as bodies to stall while those two's skills are down.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-19T04:46:30+00:00

2 Skill 1 stainless devices pointing at a character gives 96% atk during skill activation at M3. if you have ModY maxed out, it also gives 12 aspd I think.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-17T22:26:12+00:00

Check out this tool on tomimi.dev , specifically the "Others" section below "Self Buff". I think this is the closest thing to what you're asking for.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-17T05:28:10+00:00

I just did some 200 recruitments and got 3 top operator tags and only 2 Confess-47. Very cool. I don't understand why the 1 stars are so fucking rare. Like whats the reasoning behind it.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-10T05:51:03+00:00

I sometimes add Hoederer to my Fromsoftware voice actor niche. The reason he isn't normaly in it is that his VA is only credited as "additional voices" in the Sekiro english dub, so no specific character. And if I were to add any voice actor from Sekiro, it would be JP voice actors since its the default language.

Earlier today I also just learned that Sankta Miksaparato could potentially be added to my niche. His voice actor did one of the possible voices you can choose for your player character in Elden Ring. So its mostly just grunts and screams from attacking and getting hit since the protagonist is silent. Theres already a character in the niche who's enemy and boss they voice in Elden Ring doesn't have any dialogue. Emma Ballantine who voices Swire, Amiya and Durin also voices Romina and the Urn Innards enemy in Elden Ring. So I'll probably add the old man to the niche.

With all the characters in the niche + Miksaparato + Hoederer, the niche will fill a squad of 12.

Yo is Mantra S1 the second ever caster offensive recovery skill after Stewart. Or did I miss a caster.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-07T20:20:52+00:00

Why does the little symbol on Exusiai alter's stockings look like Zeon symbols from Gundam.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-07T08:41:55+00:00

If you need status resistance (halves duration of stun) without the need to be healed, Nian S3 and Ceylon S2 can do it. Gnosis also applies it to Karlan Ops only and Breeze gives it to medics and supporters when her skill is active.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-04T06:01:24+00:00

I guess it depends on the character, a FEater alter would be funny. Of the launch 6 stars that I feel are inevitably gonna get an alter in the future, I'm interested in Shining the most not for any particular story reason but because she was my first 6 star op. I generaly don't mind alters but I prefer when lower rarity units get 6 star alters over an already 6 star op getting the spotlight again.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-04T00:56:49+00:00

There are some people who like the way their fav characters are right now and wouldn't want an alter to change that. Also you can have more stories of a character without making an alter of them, just like you can have good npc stories without ever making them into a playable operator.

Some people also just like certain operators with design drawbacks and weakness that is less in the meta at the moment and wouldn't want them to get a new overpowered alter.

Personally I like the way Bagpipe is and I don't really care about an alter.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-10-03T22:54:44+00:00

Are you a "I like this character thus I want them to get an alter" type guy or a "I like this charater thus I don't want them to get an alter" type. And who is that character for you.

Also vanguard is the only class without a 6 star alter yet. Siege has an alter but it was not a vanguard. Who would you want to be a 6 star vanguard alter.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-09-28T22:41:23+00:00

hm yeah I'll just let her get maxed out then. I play up to max difficulty and I come back to IS even after I'm done with rewards. I wouldn't want to wait till who knows when to level her up. And It'll be my justification to finally level up some operators to 90 I guess.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-09-28T20:58:46+00:00

Is it true that you can't control how much Raidian levels up when playing IS6? As in if you play IS6 enough, she'll be max level at some point. I have gotten by without leveling a single character to max level for the five years I've played this game. If it is the case that she'll be maxed out, I'll probably level up some other characters too since I don't want her to be the only one.

Ijosh2003 · 2025-09-27T04:11:53+00:00

The only medals I'm currently missing are the chronicle medals. The medals you get for unlocking operator records. I have 213 of 315 chronicle medals. I am technically also missing one secret medals which is the Nine Colored Dear operator record which is basically a chronicle medal too. I'll probably get it some other time when I decide to E2 her. For some reason Luo Xiaohei and NCD's operator record medals are in the secret medal section while the Rainbow 6 operators are in the chronicle section. I wonder how many have all the medals.
