[@anzyroadside2374]

For the 1x4 attack range, I thought of Surtr S3. Broca and Pallas can also reach that range iirc, but I don't have them so I don't know if it's true. For the Mystic caster, their promoted attack range is the same as the expanded range of both S2s of Cliffheart and Gladdia. Edit: Lord Tachanka also reaches the 1x4 attack range. I had to visit aceship's toolbox to verify.

[@wongzhenwei1435]

yeah but the question ask which subclass has this range, so not include range after skill activated i think

[@anzyroadside2374]

@@wongzhenwei1435 But I was just saying my thoughts, not answering the questions.

[@wongzhenwei1435]

@@anzyroadside2374 oh...sorry I just search for them on internet to double confirm, yes the surtr s3, broca s2 and pallas s2 have that range too

[@errrrrrrr05]

Promoted Tachanka(my first thought) has this range too, i know the question is "subclass" but the 3rd hint saying "only 4" should be a false Edit: if i recall right Cliffheart was given free too

[@ЕкатеринаСеренкова]

Lord have this range on E2 with help of his talent

[@Flow-gk2ts]

i got them all perfectly. As for kafka, I accidentally used her s2 during IS2 and just wandering why she isn't making the enemies sleep.

They're all pretty close ngl

[@littlecat1727]

I mistook it for Angelina's S3 and I was like "...wait, Angelina's doesn't heal, her passive does..."

[@jakethereaper2060]

got all but the Hookmasters one I guessed they were the range of instructors

[@qyunomoto]

Similar too but mainly because I used Tachanka too often.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Non-Promoted Hookmasters and Instructors actually do share their range!

[@arcanumdelta]

SPOILERS FOR ANSWERS// 1 is pretty iconic at this point, funny minecraft hopper 2 actually has a lot of answers (I thought it was instructor guards) 3 I almost thought was NG S3 but it’s not quite the same iirc 4 you just have to know about it, pretty uncommon considering most players don’t E1 their Kafkas 5 was a little jank, initially I was thinking heavyshooter snipers but then the hint said casters lol

[@flambango9710]

Instructor guards only reach 2 in front, not 3

[@RBC_Shiio]

Yeah that's about it And yep, Elite Kafka very rare

[@swift-pawedteif386]

Loving this format. And genuinely enjoyed this video. Even the explanation and hints system.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Glad you liked it! More to come eventually!

[@TwilightPiercer]

Only one I couldn't guess was Kafka's skill tile. All the other ones were pretty easy in my opinion.

[@RBC_Shiio]

It's truly a strange one!

[@xenixis]

As a Kafka user I use her a lot... When I need her. E2 L80 M6!

[@taltos2467]

Got all of them but the mystic caster one. Thought the Suzu S3 was Nightingale S3 at first but when the hints said supporter I remembered.

[@justanotherweirdo11]

Same

[@RBC_Shiio]

Mystic Casters! I hope they get better in the future!

[@NikkiTheViolist]

2:00 apparently, Asbestos S2 with Masteries is now a Mystic Caster

[@RBC_Shiio]

Well no, that'd be under a 'Skill' range and not her sub-class range. It'd only be her and such and such.

[@AquaticIdealist]

Using Horn and Ashlock is ironically good practice for Kafka S2 lol, similar "sweet spot" for positioning behind a blocker, 2 tiles instead of one I actually don't have Chalter, but I use Indigo from time to time, and even then Chalter range is just extended Pinecone. Got them all Wandering medic range is probably something to analyze/add

[@RBC_Shiio]

I was thinking that too but with the recent events, Wanderers got a lot of use. Once we've all forgotten... maybe...

[@cefrinaldi8060]

Thought that hookmaster as instructor guard. The last one almost thought its art defender cuz asbestos but i remember durnar and shalem doesnt have that range.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Hookmasters and Instructors DO share the range before Elite Promotion so you weren't far off!

[@Eclin]

Kafka’s one is so rare, because when people uses her they straight up don’t even promote her for less DP cost sleep lmao.

[@RBC_Shiio]

I just love her S2!

[@Paloch1708]

Funny enough I noticed Iris' E1 attack range immediately, there's a reason she's still my assistant until today. I almost mistook the hookmaster ranges for the instructors, but when the welfare hint hits I noticed.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Iris has such a cool design I love how she looks!

[@Paloch1708]

@@RBC_Shiio I agree, her design is just perfect. Reading her lore made me love her even more, reading Bena’s comment on her is hilarious though.

[@0wlet290]

Had a bad day - found this video. Bad day turned into a good day. Thanks for that fun - even if it was short. I think longer videos of that sort would be better - but maybe that's just me.

[@RBC_Shiio]

I'm glad to hear that! I'll try to make longer/harder ones in the future!

[@shuvelstone1331]

"Pretty easy start, right?" BRO, I DIDN'T KNOW CH' EN *HAD* AN ALTER.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Truly a bruh moment. Perhaps.

[@qull3840]

This is pretty easy if you've used all before. Perhaps should show more e0 range, since many vet players do skip e0 -> e2 after they got the op.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Worry not, the next one is much more devious! At least I hope so.

[@volfarr2901]

i didnt see the subclass for q5 at first and my mind immediately jumped to asbestos lol, her mastery s2 has quite a funny looking range

[@RBC_Shiio]

It's funky! But useful!

[@2-san]

2nd question: 4 range tile Me: Easy that's hookers range Shiio: it's hookmaster Me: Well hookers it is

[@RBC_Shiio]

P-please don't call them hookers...

[@Where_would_I_go_without_you]

I got all of them right, yay! The last 2 were pretty easy since I use them frequently.

I remember playing with scissors like they were a type of fidget toy...

[@RBC_Shiio]

I used to do this a lot too! Well I was yelled at though...

I use mystic casters time to time, burst damage from their trait can come in handy when placed properly and they actually havr pretty nice skills

[@RBC_Shiio]

Based Mystic Caster Enjoyer.

[@xdarin_]

I know the mystic caster range because I was so confused how to use them before, and its emerald shape is really memorable.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Truly unique!

[@charginginprogresss]

1:04 Tachanka at E2 has this range thanks to his talent

[@RBC_Shiio]

Yeah that's true, I really should've worded the hint differently...

[@LuminousOriens]

Missed Hookmaster where I answered Instructor archetype along with mystic caster where I had no idea

[@RBC_Shiio]

If only Mystic Casters were more useful...

[@Xollistrea]

The last one confused me since I didn't see "sub-class" and thought it was asbestos S2

[@RBC_Shiio]

A common mistake, so it's fine!

[@zin6196]

I used Kafka s2 to finish off Lucien in IS2 at his wait spot in the top left corner when i was doing my 'deploy 200 operators' unlock run.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Oh that's a pretty good use case for her actually

[@Phos9]

Perfect score here. I used Kafka S2 in MB stages to deal extra arts damage to the strongmen

[@RBC_Shiio]

Based Kafka Enjoyer.

[@Zero_Shift]

More Challenges!

[@RBC_Shiio]

More to come!

[@kotyara85]

Perfect score. And, um… Scissors… I remember I used Kafka’s skill on a stage in chapter 9 (don’t remember the number) to kill a faraway enemy. Wasn’t that useful, though, because it’s the skill you need to properly build Kafka for, and, like, I’m not doing that

[@RBC_Shiio]

Understandable... There's probably 2 dozen more units that would be more urgent to raise than Kafka, but still nice!

[@haruunimation1252]

Kafka S2 the whole Mansfield Break run lmao

[@RBC_Shiio]

Good event!

[@MoaoAyt]

1x4, I thought of Tachanka. Only unique guard to have that range naturally. Sure the hooker specialists do have this range, but tachanka came first to mind.

[@RBC_Shiio]

THE LORD COMES FIRST

[@SpecsWitched]

I forgot the Supporter S3 one and the Last one, got everything else, To be fair I was expecting you to pull a AoE Medic Module Range Upgrade or something similar

[@RBC_Shiio]

Ooooohhh Modules... Good challenge idea...

[@katakaze]

1x4 i was thinking of the instructor guards! i always forget about the pullers. since i dont use them myself XD. got everyone else though. i personally was expecting to see the heavyshooter's range in there too, or dusk S3 / mizuki S3. i think some other quizzes on traits or talents would be fun too:D thanks for the entertainment.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Those might make it for future iterations! Glad you enjoyed!

[@LWKYArknights]

On the second range I thought it was Tachanka range and forgot the whole existence of hookmaster

[@RBC_Shiio]

Not very used nowadays! Except for when they're REALLY needed

[@dalgona4819]

[@MXaliant]

Got everything right. Almost got the last one wrong until I read sub class. I actually thought of Asbestos S2. Hahah

[@RBC_Shiio]

Strong.

[@7of475]

I am a Kafka enjoyer... I have not promoted her. Seeing as there is no reason to use S2, upgrading her talent isn't helpful, her module doesn't help fulfill her niche, her stats don't matter, AND her DP cost goes up on promotion, which is bad for a redeploy. I still recognized her S2 range instantly.

[@BakAkham]

i promote kafka for her infrastructure skill lmao

[@7of475]

@@BakAkham I’d do the same if I didn’t have Bibeak

[@RBC_Shiio]

Yeah just for Sleepknights it'd be better to keep her at E0

I only got Chalter and Kafka lol My answers were - Chalter S3 - Instructors (or whatever that subclass is called) - Angie S3 - Kafka S2 - Stumped. Remembered Mystic Casters at the very end, but forgot what they were called

[@RBC_Shiio]

Instructors and Hookmasters share the same range at E0 so it's not a bad guess! Also it's fine if you don't remember the SPECIFIC name as long as you got it!

[@kazukidanton3102]

Ch'alter tooks me long enough since I don't know there are skill that apply to, the rest is fine except forgot Kafka name

[@anzyroadside2374]

[@RBC_Shiio]

Well I guess not knowing the name is fine as long as you remember which one it was!

Well it has the same SHAPE but not the same range. It's flipped.

[@RBC_Shiio]

At least it wasn't Rangers!

[@luizgarcia3081]

Got all of them right besides the second one. I thought it was Tachanka's e2 range.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Yeah, just gotta keep the category in mind! I did mess up the hint thought...

[@Joaquin-Watching]

i only missed suzuran's skill. my smooth brain was immediately like "its nightengale skill 3" and would not let go of it. as soon as i saw it applied a slow i knew i was wrong but i still got it wrong initially. curses. foiled again.

[@RBC_Shiio]

Ah yeah, there's that kinda moment when your brain really locks onto something and won't let go...

[@NightZap]

For the final one, it's also the range that certain Splash Casters (Gitano, Lavalter, Leonhardt and Dusk) have with their module equipped.

[@axelarturocastellanosmacia1805]

That is not quite right, if you look closely at the image in the video, mystic casters cannot hit the tiles besides them, while splash casters can, so the only option that fits are mystic casters
