I enjoy zzz. Lvl 34 Due to me not investing resources into my characters game is medium/hard on diff levels. I am saving for miyabi to build a full team around her. Hope she comes out in patch 1.4 But that sparkes questions. After saving for such a long time, when I finally get her and build her. Will there be challenging content remaining that will actually get me thinking about team comps and so on. If my account becomes to strong for games content then I will quickly lose interest after time. Hope they make new big locations and great content engaging the player. Used to be as invested in genshin until i got hacked and lost account hope they leave me hooked in months to come.

thanks to you now I know what to do to enjoy nikke, through it suck that they gatekeeped the end game content with hard to get characters.

Thanks for the info.

refreshing content! It is quite rare to see someone with a cam that's both useful and entertaining in zzz

the new player experience is straight dog. I realized that I needed pilgrims to be good at the game, and realized in the same minute they are impossible to obtain. I'm at over 850 summons with only Isabel and Dorothy as my pilgrim roster.

Started playing JP on release, spent some money, lost my account, quit. I was about to start over again now, this time on Global but after reading about how they butcher the localisation I'm not sure whether I want to invest my time in such a game/company.

my bother in christ there is a training mode were you can make bosses not move and you can lvl them to 60

I just aged 5 years instantly, dodge counter bro

Max! Do Bangboo damage multiplayer apply to bangboo himself, or to the Character in my team?

Probably the easiest game to start regardless of what year you start imo, I recently started playing, and the game really easy to catch on, what make this game great for me is no overly drawn out slop farm, even if there is, there is at least a sweep clear system which I can appreciate.

she's totally off the charts! . . Qingyi M1 gives more damage to your DPS. . than Zhu Yuan M1!! And the better you get at hitting her dodge counter, releasing Enchanted Blossoms at the right time. . . the better she gets. Just brought Steam Oven to lv 50/50 today.. it's amazing on her until you hit either restrained or hellfire gears on engine banner. (M1 Qingyi though)

I got lycaon from standard (second pity), koleda from losing 50/50 on qingyi and still went for her anyway. No regrets 10/10 gameplay :D

@ 6:30 u said that with anby u made user error thats why the time is lower but u would do it in 8:15, quin time was 8:22, so its only 7 s, considering u had a 8s boost on adds, seems like quin made u loose 1 sec compared to anby. another fun fact, u dont do def shred with nicole whenplaying as anby but did it while playing with quin. U should remove nicole and 2 man it for the test, so we dont get additional variable that seems u are not reliable to do on both teams. And the "cuts" in edits so we cant even see if used chains as u should or not. At this point, its safe to say, this teset is flawed. Its only viable for ur own playstyle.

You need to know, she work with any Attack character.

A couple questions: 1. What Mindscape is your Anby at? I've been playing since release and Anby is already at M5 and will no doubt hit M6 when pulling for Jane Doe. Anby's M1-5 all contribute to Daze is some compacity, though none seem to contribute a lot. 2. Is a second full stun from Anby required on the first enemy of the second fight? The first elite is nearly dead by the time the stun is over and it seems a mix of Nicole's EX and Zhu Yuan damage might have killed it faster than building the stun meter back up and going into another chain. This isn't to say Qingyi isn't obviously better, but I do wonder how much the above would tighten the times.

Im not watching this to cope because I lost her 50/50... YOU ARE 😢

It is absolute stun and fun combo with other characters

personal experience. i do agree that qing yi, in term of stun dmg multiplier, is better.. i miss anby's easier rotation tho.. (you need to be mindful of qing yi's "voltage meter" thus forced to be on field longer than anby which lessens zhu yuan's time to farm for bullets (and yes maybe an skill issue for me)) ..but that single rotation on boss round on qing yi compared to 2 on anby as absolute better... (also having a C1 qing yi removes the onfield problem as c1 on zhu removes the reload prblem) nonetheless.. good pull if not going to pull for jane doe or calydon's jane doe's damage is high and seth synergy is good. (also jane doe passive procs with faction and anomaly)

A 5 star better than a 4 star. Thats a shocker

4:33 you want to switch to Zhu Yuan here on so you can defensive assist with Qingyi on the third hit. it contributes a lot of daze while stopping thanatos from dashing around.

I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Qingyi. I try to play Koleda. My Qingyi deals more Daze. I try to play Anby. My Qingyi deals more Daze. I try to play Lycaon. My Qingyi deals more Daze. I want to play Grace. Her best team has Qingyi. I want to play Zhu yuan & Nekomata. They both want Qingyi. She grabs me by the throat. I play the arcade event for her. I farm for her. I give her The Restrained. She isn't satisfied. I pull Hellfire Gears. "I don't need this much Attack" She tells me. "Give me more IMPACT." She grabs Seth and forces him to throw himself off enemies. "You just need to funnel me more. I can deal more Daze with Jane ." I can't pull for Jane, I don't have enough Polychromes. She grabs my credit card. It declines. "Guess this is the end." She grabs Officer Bangboo. She says "Get them." There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, Daze application. What a cruel world we live in.

So invoice= Goods and services?

First of all, let me start by saying that as I was watching you clear SD with anby and calling her bad, I immediately said "skill issue" :D You should have rotated anby to the left to push both mooks together and against the totem. With that out of the way, I absolutely agree that Qingyi outclasses, not only anby, who is an A-Rank, making the comparison kind of unfair btw; but also every other S-Rank stunner in the game. They might have miscalculated how strong giving stun DMG% bonuses to a character is. Lycaon's buff is tame compared to this. You need an Ice team for lycaon to work. Qingyi is already great from the get go and she works in every team. That said, I don't think you need a second stunner if, like me, you are planning on building your second team as an anomaly team. Jane and Seth coming together makes the perfect core for it. But we'll see how good it is in the end. Still good video! Definitely subscribing to you. Cheers!

I just literally completed my side quest then I just converted my polychromes to encrypted tapes and i got around like a 119 pulls completely f2p. Then I just thought I need a copy of corin to have her at c6 so I just made a 10 PULL on Qingyis banner and to my shock it landed on an s rank character i thought no way I was gonna get her then to my shock she came home what an insane f2p luck😂

I wonder where Koleda stacks up. What does she have to offer in the way of a stunner? I dont have her personally.

Don't forget ur anby is like c4 or 5 and qingyi is only c0

As a stunner, both of them has a distinct way of combating the enemy For anby, its her mobility, her skill, dodge counter and basic atk all have little to no delay or require you to hold it constantly so you can focus more on dodging and chasing highly mobile enemy, but in exchange, her damage is significantly weaker compare to other stunners ( unless you have her C6 ) For qingyi, its the area damage she dealt and the stun dmg multiplier she gave her team that matters, in exchange, she not as flexible as anby so she is not good at dodging or chasing enemy around the map and requires her to stay in one place to get the most out of her kit

While I do think the sentiment of this video rings true, there are a few factors that were not touched on. I did some updated tests in my newest video, please check it out!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn6ploKbebmIi5Y

After using her and using Anby since day one… It’s not a huge difference, but there is a difference. Qingyi is more viable in more situations and can really solo a lot of content, where anby was mostly just a stunner and not even top notch at that. Throw in the core passives, and how subjugation works, it’s really not an issue of ones better then the other in certain situations - Qingyi straight replaced Anby in every way.

The fact that you can clear this side faster than me and my characters are built wayyy better is making me feel like I have a serious skill issue.

Rules? Just one ☝️: EMBRACE THE "UOOOGH 😭" *OR GTFO* thnks

Buddy your qingyi only gave a 24% stun dmg multipler, ofc she won't enhance your dmg a lot if you don't level her core skill. Also you need to use her enhanced basic attack twice vs a boss, not once. At max core skill the 80% stun dmg multiplier is literally a 53% dmg increase over Anby.

you didnt used qingyi's dmg boost and anby's combo so this test is not relevant, as i see qingyi is made for "wall" bosses and realy sucks on fast ones when anby feels fine everywhere, even after buff easy skip

Interesting. I mean, they do serve the same function. But you'd think an 'S' rank stunner would make a bit more of a difference. But, the passives are a big part of those characters and they werent lvled fully.

It’s funny you say the reason you were able to progress so well is because you started on the 2.5 anniversary. I just started a little over a month ago for the 3 year and got so many good characters. Dress hina, swimsuit hoshino, Mika, swimsuit hanako and so many other good ones. I’m actually just saving up for the 3.5 year atm. Battle Hoshino and terror shiroko looks great. I might pull a little bit here and there but will save most of my pyro for that.

I randomly started playing recently and was lucky enough to get the dress hina, swimsuit hoshino, iroha, and dress ako banners as I was just starting. Really happy that I was able to get them. Haven't figured out if dress ako is strong or how to maximize her value, but the other 3 are absolute beasts. Plus, I also got other great students while I was rolling for those banners.

I started playing three weeks ago (so around two weeks after this video released), a few days before Dress Hina's banner dropped (she was the character who lured me into the game). I can vouch for the statement that Fes banners (anniversary banners) really kickstart your account. While pulling for Dress Hina, I got a bunch of off-focus 3-star characters who have helped me push the Missions, including the re-ran Fes characters mentioned in the video (except Wakamo, who I didn't get). For context, clearing higher-level Missions unlocks upgrades for the Cafe, which is important because it increases your supply of stamina points, which are used to increase the account level. So, the sooner you push these missions to unlock the upgrades, the faster you can level up. Right now, after 20 days of playing, I was able to unlock the second-to-last Cafe upgrade, clearing the required Mission stage despite being underleveled by almost 40 levels (my account and students are level 52, while this Mission has level 90 enemies and bosses). How was it possible? Well, the characters I got from the anniversary banner (and the 100 free pulls campaign from the week prior, namely Iroha) are just that strong! So my account is set-up to grow very fast pretty early on, just because of all the good stuff I got from the anniversary events and campaigns. As a footnote: I think it's important to mention this for people who are not familiar with this game. In Blue Archive, a lot of "free-to-play-friendly" characters are actually amazing. The good stuff is not just limited to the limited-run 3-star characters (like those from the anniversary banner); some 2-star and 1-star units are great too. My favorite example is Yuuka, a character you get for free from the prologue and who is a low rarity student in the gacha. She is an amazing tank when you invest in her (increase relationship level, upgrade gear and skills, etc), and she even is top notch in both PVP and for pushing Missions. Tsubaki was also mentioned in the video, and she is another great tank too. In terms of DPS characters, OG Hina is now given for free if you complete some challenges, and she is amazing with some support. Oh... Another feature of this game is that you can obtain some non-limited high rarity characters without needing to roll in the gacha, by farming their Elephs (the character-specific material used for Limit Break). It takes some time (and in some cases requires pushing Missions on Hard mode), but it's something that is possible. I've heard OG Aru is another great DPS that can be obtained in this way, but I haven't been able to farm her Elephs yet.

I also started playing last January 2024 Been playing casually everyday (dailes/events) And I've been able to reach Lvl 84 already. I have most meta/famous chars for easy golds in any event Cleared all story (hard and main) Blue archive is very generous and you should start playing too! PLAY NOW.

I think taking away player abilities is sacrificing fun for difficulty. Why take a way the parries except to make it harder. If thats the case then just slow everyone down to a crawl and only give them basic attacks it would be way more difficult and also boring as hell. Pls encourage them to make it difficult whilst still allowing for counters, combos, and player expression.

Glad you’re back Max, and this is the first gacha game I’ve ever gotten into. I pulled Zhu Yuan without the the guaranteed S pull, so safe to say I’m addicted to gambling ☠️

i cant wait for more chapters to come in the game

Yes it's too late, leave blue archive alone don't play the game. Keep tourists out

so sad I missed it

"Oh no i gotta play hollow zero"

Iyo hinted at it heavily that there’ll be additional floors in the separate new Shiyu activity Like a whole separate node. They kinda brushed over it though in the livestream so I dunno if it’ll be 7 new floors again. Regardless it’s a good start. Hoyo has proven to me with with HSR just how much they can evolve the game with time. Expecting the same from ZZZ Also can I just say Shiyu is way more fun than Tower in WuWa? The encounters are really nicely paced in ZZZ and it’s genuine fun to correctly optimize my positioning to make sure I get all the small enemies in a pile. In Tower it’s basically a DPS check since the characters usually have amazing aoe

The only thing I despise is the frequent crashes.

The three year anniversary was beautiful, I loved almost every aspect of it.

The moment you gave your opinion on the wurthering waves characters I SUBSCRIBED HOLY cow. Idk if it’s the voice acting that feels soulless but YOU ARE SO RIGHT

Isn't he N.E.P.S. precinct becoming available as a (albeit small) new area?

Sucks Luckyboo can’t do a chain attacks but 5 starring them for free should make up for it. I’m planning a Nekomata, Jane Doe, & Lucy build for my 2nd team in zero hollow so Luckyboo should fit nearly into that
