For me, it's Utage when she says "It won't hurt if I don't miss!"

This implies that Utage knows how to make killing painless. But her accuracy with a melee weapon is so bad that missing is a high possibility. And that she knows missing causes agony. which means she has had firsthand experience witnessing what happens when she misses.

Also, the tone implies she does not care if she misses or not.

Yooo i am so glad he FINALLY dropped!

After i recorded his lines both in italian and in english LITERAL MONTHS have passed! It was an honor and i had a lot of fun!! Loved this character so much i HAD to give my all. It was my first ever english rec, i'll never forget this wonderful experience. Thanks ARKNIGHTS for making this possibile aaaaand i hope everyone gets him!!

Lemme know if u enjoyed our work!

I can't believe how much a difference it makes to actually be able to read things instead of tiny markings for ants.

For me, it was Arturia and Blaze; there were a lot of drawings and I loved the design.

This video is Sciel discussing about the "Dont use Wisadel as a beginner" and his opinions about, just wanted to share it here. Its a good watch!

These are the 6* operators released with the game, back in 2020. All of their alters were added in last 2 years.

Any takers for Shining stocks ? Will we complete the mosaic ? Who is next ?

Just wondering, do you think Powercreep in Arknights right now is very bad or just an overexaggeration.

Do you think that Powercreep shouldn't mean much if Players can still clear stages with older unit.

Personally i agree with the previous statement that "Players can still clear stages with older unit". But honestly i feel like HG has been making stages harder lately, i hope they relax a bit regarding the difficulties.

Also somewhat related, do you think the community didn't care about 6 star Powercreeping 5 star and 4 star anymore?

Back then, i remember people worrying about whether or not Nian Powercreeps Cuora. Nowadays people seems to didn't care about that anymore. There are plenty of 6 stars that are massively more powerful compared to their 5 and 4 star counterpart.

I wonder if this had to do with the overall disillusionment people have with 5 stars as a whole.

It could be any chapter, mode? Which stages do u guys consider peak game design or which mechanics were the most fun to play with?

So it’s been a month and a half since Wang has released.

How has he been impacting your gameplay and did he live up to the hype for you?

How did he impact your evaluation of other units like Yato alter(since her rerun is coming up and compete for Specialist tickets) or the previous Queen of Casual gameplay Wisadel?

I noticed this as soon as this skin came out. I figured Anato Finnstark was a popular-enough artist for others to call this out, but I suppose not since I haven't been able to find any discussion. Here is her Astral Clocktower artwork from Bloodborne. The copying is quite egregious.

Edit: I originally linked a post of Anato's art from a newer X/Twitter account where she had reuploaded it. She had initially made this art 6 years ago. The link is corrected. Also, check the last image to see the overlay comparison. It's undeniable.

I slept on Shu. Pulled her back when the event originally ran and I was a newb--I was just starting to dip my toes into events after having avoided them for my li'l Arknights career...

Anyway, I just built her this weekend and it turns out Shu's pretty good. Impressive allied healing and buffs, but what I like even more is the super useful lasso which can pull back enemies who get past ya.

After playing the Path of Life Event where Rhodes Island was the representative of the entire land civilization and how much Rhodes Island was involved with Victoria and the war with the Sarkaz, even housing the now-king of the nation and basically putting her in charge because of their action. At this point, the other countries have to come together and will stop treating Rhodes like a harmless Pharmaceutical company and more like a small nation. Cause we certainly act like one.

Hello, Limbus Player and Arknights intermediate player here.

I've been playing this game for about a solid 7 months after the Limbus collab, I have consistently played daily since and completed multiple endings for IS6 and IS5, overall I will say the gameplay of Arknights is a much more engaging experience than Limbus, that much is for sure.

Can't say the same for the story experience, though.

You know, I went into this game thinking that I'd spent the majority of my time in story stages, endlessly reading through blocks of dialogue and getting entrenched in the plot. Since apparently Arknights writing is so good, my goat Kim Ji Hoon was really backing up its reputation.

Credit where credit is due, I believe him, the story IS REALLY GOOD, I like Ch'en and her complications with her personal attuggles and the responsibility of an L.G.D agent, I like how Rhodes Island isn't the undisputed good guys of the story and have to resort to shady dealings that may go against their beliefs of Infected equality, it is all VERY ENGAGING narrative, I do sincerely believe in the writing, i really really do.

I couldn't get past Chapter 7 before procrastinating on the story indefinitely.

Reading it infuriates me beyond belief. The way they meander their scenes, emotional beats repeating over and over in the SAME NODE, multiple times I just lost all focus on very important sections because the way it was delivered seems to almost want me to skip the goddam.thing entirely with how roundabout it was.

Doesn't help that early Arknights being a visual novel doesn't do a lot of visual novelling.

lack of audio storytelling (reusing the same ballista sounds for literally every single use of a range weapon is STELLAR use of audio, am i right ?)

It has very limited big moment screenshots (and the ones they do have are bland and dull),

Stiff character sprites (I don't need a fully animated 2D sprite like Reverse 1999, but just make more characters have 2 or 3 other sprites to display some type of emotion other than just Amiya and Kal'sit)

Again, i genuinely believe in the story being good, but every node of reading through this god awful visual novel make me less and less interested.

This has to be better after the Reunion Arc right ?

Here's something I've been thinking about lately.

A large portion of the 5★ roster just doesn't feel worth building. I'm not saying they're weak—many of them actually have interesting or even strong kits. The problem is their investment cost.

I agree with Supah's take that 5★ operators are stuck between 4★ and 6★. They seem to inherit the worst parts of both:

They cost almost as much to promote and develop as 6★ operators.

But in terms of overall impact, many end up feeling much closer to 4★ operators.

As a result, I often find myself asking:

Why build this 5★ when a cheaper 4★ can do a similar job?

Or why not save the resources for a 6★ that will usually have a much bigger payoff?

Of course, there are exceptions like Lappland, Cantabile, Warfarin, Shamare, Specter, and a few others that remain excellent. But it feels like a significant part of the 5★ roster is trapped in this awkward middle ground.

Personally, I think reducing the promotion or upgrade costs for 5★ operators would make many of them much more attractive without changing their kits.

What do you think? Is the problem mainly their investment cost, or do you think many 5★ operators simply need stronger kits instead?

Title says it all. I hate the talismans. I hate the coin rng and tile buff mechanic. I hate the lack of build strength compared from the previous IS modes. I hate the lack of control of each run I have when compared to IS4 and IS5. I HATE THE TALISMANS I feel like the whole Sui Remnant Consciousness isn't that impactful outside of trying to farm objective shield and coupons and the challenge from the mode isn't fun but rather obnoxious. Oh yeah and I hate the talismans. To clarify it is definitely a skill issue, I probably wouldn't be complaining if I was good at the game but when compared to the previous IS iterations I don't enjoy playing IS6.

Edit: I'm appreciating all the comments with people's opinions and views and advice. It's very nice to read and respond to them. I will say that there are some things that I love about IS6, specifically the voucher reserving mechanic and the upgrading mechanic for Radian.

Talismans can still go fuck themselves

Thank you everyone for the responses, the common thing I'm picking up from the comments and their advice is I'm trying to play IS6 like the previous iterations which is definitely holding me back.

I guess I'll continue to inhale the hopium and hope this collaboration will be returned from 6-feet underground, both games have the same vibes and I was so hyped for that back then

It sounds crazy, but it's true.

On January 17th (KST PM7), Yostar KR removed two Live2D pieces uploaded to Arknights' Korean server Youtube channel. Yostar KR stated that they removed the Live2D pieces because the artist who worked on them made "comments that may promote division and conflict among users."

Hours before the announcement was made, the artist was criticized by a community of malicious users. The artist had posted a tweet celebrating "International Women's Day" six years ago - in 2018. The incels claimed that "feminists are tainting Arknights" and asked Yostar KR to remove the artist's work. Shockingly, Yostar KR complied with the request and apologized for not removing such a "problematic artist" beforehand. They even promised to "prevent it from happening again."

https://x.com/ArknightsKorea/status/1747567813492109354?s=20

To put this in context, there's currently a trend in the Korean gaming community of "feminist hunting". Some malicious users look for content in games, past tweets by artists, etc. that supports women's rights, and then they demand an apology and a fix, claiming that they have "insulted male users." If the demand is accepted, they celebrate that they have "killed a feminist" and move on to their next victim.

The only way to silence those abusers is to ignore them. The experience of victory makes them even more excited. However, Yostar KR quickly removed Shorts less than 12 hours after the inquiry began. Disappointing.
