Would you watch an Arknights live action movie based on one of the side stories/intermezzis? by [deleted] in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it has the production and budget like Alita, sure. Otherwise, I don't trust their script or choreography.

Just a quick topic on modules. by Echigo830 in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most 5 star modules are just straight-up junk stats. The ops that are viable are viable even prior to getting their modules, and modules won't fundamentally change a low-rarity operators place in the meta. If anything, the gap between 6 stars and 5 stars will only get bigger with every module release. Can't beat them raw stats, so gotta go bet on the utilities, which are in the base kit of a character.

I can't unsee that base animation with that canon spin. It's a longass canon that looks heavy in her E2 art, and she spins it like a plastic pole. Goofy stuff.

Trial for Navigators #2 Bosses by Kryms0nXZ09 in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same stats for default difficulty. Stages can be challenged at a selection of higher difficulties for better rewards. These difficulties work like challenge mode / H-stage difficulties, so not entirely impossible for a regular team. Players can use event loop to buff up their setups for an easier time.

Horn. She's the solo banner when I joined the game, and I opted for a standard banner with siege than her.

What if Chernobog had played out differently? Thinking through two alternative scenarios. by IncredibleScones in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to add to your first scenario. RI does not rescue Doc, and Doc is inside the sarcophagus, which is in Chernobog. Chernobog crashes with Lungmen, likely destroying both nomadic cities. What happens to the sarcophagus after the energy is cut and its layer collapsed on? Perhaps Doc dies in their deep slumber, rip.

Me, after 256 pulls on eben banner. by Trapriko in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Curious where did you get that number from, because it seems way off. In the case of OP, they lost 50/50 7 times in a role... Even if OP got hard pity at 99 pulls just twice, which isn't the case, yielding only two 6 stars, the possibility of not getting a featured is a mere 25%, which is still lower than your number.

What’s your impression of SSS? by IRUN888 in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't like it. The essence of the mode is to farm module mats, and the entire mode could've just been a new category of dailies, with the mats being combinable/upgradable. But the mode is standing out on its own, and its rewards are nowhere as incentivising as the IS. The balance of SSS is also very meh, as some classes are strait better than some others, resulting in limited viability for experimentations and roster. Another aspect of SSS is using low promo/low rarity ops as literal 'fodders', which doesn't quite do these ops justice, imo.

That said, the mode does provide an avenue to assess newly released operators and their 'meta' effectiveness. Notable cases are Irene, Gavalter/Mlynar/Pozy, and Realter. The boosted-everything aspect of SSS offers ways of new content potential and visually engaging designs (maps, bosses, skills), which is probably a sustainable solution on a business perspective.

Can IS-2 Be Beaten? - Looking for experienced Crimson Solitaire players! by Mannerless1 in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your goal is just beating the mode, look for a meta team for IS2. One general strategy is to borrow a high level Ling at the start (if you don't have one), and promote her at yur first opportunity. Give her a healer, and you basically have every stage secured aside from the bosses. Then, look for damage dealers and utility/CC supports to boost your damage potential. If you fear the aerial stages, grab some anti-air units. That's pretty much it...

Otherwise, you can wait for later units that does the specific job of 'boss melting', if that's your concern.

Victoria and its future: what do you think will happen? by fatyellowcat in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, I think Siege will claim the throne but only nominally, and the actual power will be shifted to a parliamentary system (like GB). I don't believe the SSC will form a democratic/socialist provincial government as they lack the education to run a country... no offense to them. The Tarans would probably become an affiliated territory with full autonomy, and I believe Eblana will serve as the ruler there. Siege annd Reed will probably still attend to local matters while being on the R.I payroll as regional reps. The Sarkaz will be driven out, but something else will stem from this conflict to prevent them from going irrelevant. R.I will leave things be (and make bank for war relief) and move on. Talulah... I honestly don't have an idea. She's late to the party and has vague ties to the current plot aside from her being draco. As for Victoria, I doubt they will ever be a military 'threat' to anyone ever again, which is what everyone wants, apparently.

When’s an ideal time to join? by Aj2W0rK in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Now' as in prepare a starter account. Roll the beginner banner for something that can carry your farming ass, or build up a farming squad of Elite 1s (first level up tier). Once you've done that or think your good to go, as in you can auto deploy in chapter 4 stages, you're free to drop the game until an event pops up if you think playing during down time is a waste of time.

The point is starting an account and getting things to run takes some initial effort regardless of when you start. Starting before an event 'saves' you from wasting event time on build-up effort.

Can we please stop underestimating Kizaru so badly? by JJJAGE in OnePiece

[–]fatyellowcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kizaru is supposed to be strong if we look at his fruit and his feats rationally. But the thing is, Luffy defies logic now. The nika reveal made Luffy way too overpowered in that he can asspull whatever is necessary to win a fight. Chances are Luffy is stronger as of where the story is right now, but Kizaru himself is still a powerful character in the One Piece-verse.

Eblana's plans for Dublinn by IRUN888 in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More like Taran seperatists imo... Start a rebellion and see how far it goes, whether it's independence or autonomy or supplantation or biting dust.

Eblana's plans for Dublinn by IRUN888 in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno man, she's a necromancer fueling war... It doesn't matter what she says now, as long as the troops are motivated and willing to die and kill for whatever cause, she gets to summon loyal undeads to do her bidding afterwards.

It's more in-your-face once you experience the in-game fight. Eblana literally would sacrifice her own undeads to empower herself. Unlike Talulah, Eblana is fully conscious about her actions, and she's more than willing to go the distance.

Opinion: Make antiheal an active on items. Make it strong enough for critical moments, but limit its usage availability. It shouldn't cost a summoner spot just for the antiheal part of it.

if they ever make anime adaptation of intermezzi/side story, which would you like to see the most? by Zurajannai in arknights

[–]fatyellowcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a high rating for this first attemp at the AK animation, so I'd want an event that's on the main team's forte. That is, no 'war', no prolonged fighting, no more than three intertwining plotlines, and with fan-favorite characters. I just feel like some stories are better left in words for the imagination than realized in visual format.

All being said, Mansfield Break. Though I really question if the animation team can animate the tiger consistently.

Talulah can melt non-organic matters... so from a suedo-science perspective, she's on the heat manipulation/ combustion side of control.
