I was gonna say you should've skipped but, I don't think i need to say it anymore.. you're stacked

[@FeyHunt2]

Yeah, I've been relatively lucky so far. This game usually give me what I need on 20th pull. The only exception was Dorothy's banner. The rest is just the reward from clearing all side stories and main theme, since I haven't fully pulled on anyone yet. But I'm curious, since R6 collab will never rerun, why do you recommend me to skip? As far as I know, Ash is one of the best sniper in the game, right? I assume it's because of WAlter and Ascalon?

@@FeyHunt2 Ash is already powercrept by other modern snipers like Ray, Typhon, Ela and maybe Exusiai because of the S3. She's more of a collection unit then an essential unit, since she's never coming back but this doesn't excuse her for just being too old to do anything anymore And also because Walter exists

@@izutsumii Hmmm, is that so? I would argue that Ray and Typhon is a specific niche of "long range and slow snipers". It's more reasonable to group Ash with Exusiai or Archetto. Both I haven't found any luck as a shop operator when I have the yellow certs. Also, I can't help but notice that Ela's DPS is severely lacking when compared to Ash. Am I playing her wrong here? It seems Ash is more straightforward.

@@FeyHunt2 Ray can be considered a specific niche but she still does more dps than Ash. Typhon, on the other hand, is not really a specific niche since you can bring her S2 to any stage and she would still outperform Ash. Ash is only good against enemies that are stunnable but even then, she loses out to other anti-air snipers like Exu and even Archetto and Blue Poison, take note Archetto isn't even meta, and Blue Poison is a 5 star. There are just a lot of other snipers that not only do more damage than her, but also bring much more utility to the table like Ray's global range and Typhon's boss killing S3. Regarding Ela, you might be playing her wrong, are you utilizing her mines? Do you have her module level 3? Ela's whole gimmick is using her mines to slow and boost her damage. Her S3 is the skill you should be using and you can manually deactivate it to get 2 more mines, you can only hold 4 at a time. Her module level 3 is needed to make her better but even without it, she outperforms Ash as long as you use her mines. I would say Ash is more straightforward as you have to just click her S2 but Ela still does more and brings more to the table compared to her.

@@FeyHunt2 Ray may be considered a specific niche, but Typhon is versatile all around due to her S2 having infinite duration. So you can place her in the back and forget about her and she'll do her job better then Ash. Ela on the other hand, still outdamages Ash and it is boosted by the fact that her module makes the mines better + they're global, letting Ela hold way more utility over Ash and overall being the better pick.
