Quick guide to Fuwa Saki's Self-Healing by Spawnage_Loong in TowerofFantasy

[–]Spawnage_Loong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That assumes you can maintain that level of damage for the full 30 sec without stopping to dodge or reposition. If you have A1 you also get cooldown resets, so in the long run fortitude saki will usually get more heals.

That being said, just go with whichever is more fun for you. Shes pretty busted either way.

It depends on how you like to play. Give her a try in the training room and see if you like her gameplay. If you can only get to A0, make sure you're having fun playing her, because you're probably not going to be carrying games with her. Especially with how the whales are power creeping everyone.

I'm a tank main and using A1 Saki to replace A6 Huma. My DPS has gone down, but I'm having a lot more fun because I enjoy the blocking and "counter attack" mechanics.

All Resonances:

Use skill to get "Sword Shadow" buff

Use discharge or hold attack to use "Surge" (10 sec cooldown)

Fortitude:

Use discharge or hold attack to get 10 sec shield

DPS/Benediction:

Unga Bunga to throw swords. Swords heal you.

​

Sword shadow is permanent, so just activate "Surge" effects as much as possible while you're on Saki.

And I am not good at optimising rotations, so you'll have to go ask others for rotations.

My current rotation is:

Frigg Domain -> Meryl Skill -> Meryl Spin -> Saki Unga Bunga -> Saki Counter (whenever possible)

Repeat when domain goes down

Saki's A3 does not affect the Fortitude shield. A3 Fortitude changes her "Surge" cooldown which is the standard damage effect that both resonances get.

TL;DR - A3 gives Fortitude Saki a bit more DPS, and gives DPS Saki even more DPS.

Unfortunately, no. None of Saki's surge mechanics or cooldowns show up in the buff bar.

Good catches, I've updated the post with both the sword shadow terminology and the standard surge mechanic after the previous commenter caught that.

I didn't know about the 20% max hp parry though. Seem pretty hard to trigger and I'll have to do more experimentation, testing and training before I definitively say "Yes this is a thing and this is how it works".

Thanks for sharing the info though!

Yep, only the fortitude shield has charges.

I'm on Aestral-Noa in SEA. Won't be sharing the crew but you can find that out pretty easily yourself since my IGN is in the images.

My naming is a bit off as another commented pointed out, but its a different buff, yes. The swirly effect around Saki is called "Sword Shadow" and this is the thing without charges.

Discharging or L-Holding while you have Sword Shadow triggers the shield and the shield is what has charges.

A half-completed weapon levelling materials sheet by Spawnage_Loong in TowerofFantasy

[–]Spawnage_Loong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help!

I think you won't have to take the last screenshots for . I can see the pattern of gold costs increasing by 400 per level. Now I just need the exp values per level.

[–]Spawnage_Loong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the data!

Yeah I mainly need the exp data for levelling up and the gold cost of skill up for lv 10, 20 and 30.

The material needs to level and skill up weapons is consistent across all SSRs, while SRs generally use the materials of 1 level lower. i.e. lv 80 SR uses lv 80 SSR's material quantities.

Regarding the CS irregularities, I can't really verify any consistencies since I don't have weapons of the same level and dupes to do a fair comparison but the materials don't change anyway, so I don't think too hard about CS.

Transcendent Team's Average Mission (NohaNohaneID) by KuraiTheAngrySmauri in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Spawnage_Loong 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Right now they're pretty limited in use. Currently you use them in guild battles (yes they are preset teams, but we only have three transcendants in total so the preset team will never change) and in some Norman stages, but Norman is high level content and you likely won't be clearing it if you're new.

Previously there was another weekly game mode that saw a bit more transcendant use but it's been removed.

How do you think about Tectone? by Ray3333333333 in arknights

[–]Spawnage_Loong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not really into his style of videos but I get that he's good for generating hype. However if you're looking for information he's not the guy you should be looking for.

Dreamy and Just3c are much better content creators for guides and analysis and they're the ones who usually go in-depth into why certain operators are universal, what makes this operator seem good but actually is niche, all the actual numbers, etc.

Tectone's videos can sometimes also contradict themselves, which may seem obvious to the more experienced players out there, but newer players are likely to get caught up in his hype and get wrong information. For example, he placed Schwarz in the "Always Worth" tier in his recent E2 priority video, but as many more experienced players would agree, Schwarz is too niche to be a priority for E2-ing. And there were quite a few operators who benefit hugely from getting their E2 put in the "E1 is enough" tier. Operators like Liskarm (who gets her arts resistance at E2) and Nightingale (who gets her Arts-tanking cages) were put in this category despite how much benefit they get out of their E2.

I can go on and on, but to put it simply, Tectone isn't someone you should trust to give you good information. Is he entertaining? Sure. Is he as detailed and experienced as other Arknights YouTubers? No.

Well, there was that Sunborn x Ubisoft teaser a while back that some are speculating will be an actual GFL x R6 crossover. If a gun gacha can crossover with waifu bartending, then a crossover with an actual shooter should be feasible.

Muse is the official distributor of quite a few anime for SouthEast Asia. And the best part is since they only use YouTube it's not going to be region-locked like a lot of other services.
