[Arknights] The Best Beginner's Guide In 13 Minutes!

[@Khroniclas]

Pretty good guide, may be less detailed than some. However, I believe that you covered all most important basic stuff, and you explained it in a simple and relaxed way which I think is more beginner friendly. Some other beginner guides probably sound like word salad to new players, this will work perfectly well I think.

[@RewriteKuma]

Thank you! I do believe a quick rundown just to take away the fear of messing up is better than trying to mind-share everything at once

[@wollyram6248]

I would like to reinforce the point about not using level guides, relying too much on clear guides will simply take away to challenge and play of the game, and you will become dependent on a guide.

[@Frdnnd]

Yeah ngl, I'm level 70, and still only playing this game for mostly collecting characters, I'm honestly still not really into the game's core mechanics, most of the time i finished a stage (mostly with guide like u said) i always looking forward to the prizes, or unlocking some feature gates, i almost never "I'm gonna clear this stage, because i want a challenge!" any stage, it's just not that fun to me, even if i moved away from any guide to clear certain stage before, it's out of pettiness. And don't even get me started on Integrated Strategies, i felt SIUUcidal everytime i did it.

[@angelosgames9960]

Well in one way or another we still go to Guides. But now Im more Dependent to Clear stages myself since I have the right amount of Ops and lvls needed to clear it on my own.

[@naufalardiyan9858]

Damn right and thank god i don't have to try the stage myself 20 times and drain my sanity before clear it

[@godo2712]

can't agree I myself used guides practically for everything my first 4 months; and even managed to get 10 medals on my first CC because of that. But even with guides, that CC was so painful that after i was done with it, I felt like something changed. I've started doing routine CC stages myself; i started doing harder event stages myself, etc etc. My point is - even if you follow guides, EVENTUALLY the game will pummel into you the knowledge you need, whether you want it or not. You will start recognize familiar patterns - the "crowd control" situations; the ranged stages, the AOE stages, etc etc. So, people who use guides - just take your time. The pain will be mandatory anyway, and it will leave its positive scars on you. One advice tho - to speed up the process, watch niche and high-level clears as well. The more variety you'll witness - the faster you'll start to recognize familiar scenes.

I have been playing this game for 2 years now, but I still watch videos like this (they are interesting)

[@byeguyssry]

I have an extra tip for new players. Side Stories and Record Restoration can oftentimes give you new operators (referred to as welfare operators). Most are not worth using, however, a few have pretty good base skills. Notably, without investment, Ceylon from Heart of Surging Flame gives elite material byproduct rate +80%. Catapult (a 3*) gives the same at E1. She also requires 0 Sanity to obtain. Also, Flamebringer from the record restoration gives Skill Summaries byproduct rate +70%. Matoimaru (a 4*) does also gives the same bonus though.

[@gulag4767]

Guides are so fun to watch Even when i have nearly 2 years of gameplay i still love to watch what others think is a good start and how they played at the start

[@KirigayaHayato]

I just started playing 5 days ago so thanks for the video.Really helpfull

[@RewriteKuma]

I hope you have fun playing 👍

[@iusearchbtw4969]

Don't aggressively towards higher rarity, it will cost you alot of resource thus makes you stuck and you have resource recession management Use and level up *3 operator whenever you can, cuz they cost you less resource After that you can level up your higher rarity from their dirty jobs

[@defaultretard138]

Thats really true, like for an example first five levels of what the firelight casts is almost impossible to clear without promoted steward

[@ian59]

My counter about following guides is that they can be a really good resource to better learn the game mechanics and strategy when you're a new player. The Kyostinv guides for Annihilation 2 and 3 specifically helped me a ton as a new player. I never watch stage guides these days but when I 1st started they clarified things for me quite a bit. Depending on how much free time you have as a new player you may want to watch guides to finish the last few stages of some events if you are stuck just to maximize your rewards. I started during code of brawl and it was immediately followed by CC beta. I played as much as I could of both without guides but then used guides to clear even further for additional rewards. This is just another example of a good way to use guides as a new player. As Kuma says though, I'll caution players against over using guides as it will probably make the game boring faster than if you try to figure things out yourself. Use guides sparingly and have faith in yourself.

[@soloungatomas6258]

I left the game a long time ago and I just started playing it again without remembering anything, so I came searching for a guide and yours was the first one I saw. I was too worried about meta stuff and how to be careful with the resources so after watching your guide, I will just relax and enjoy the journey, thank you

[@UnicyclesGameRoom]

Super helpful! A lot of people fail to explain the absolute basics

[@SilentSpirit671]

Thank you for helping newer players along their journey.

[@SundayDarn]

This is the best 13 minutes of my time listening to guides, THANK YOU!

[@KuraiKodoku16]

Gonna send this to my friend who has been meaning to start playing Arknights very soon, and this guide is a simple explanation on the menu and different currencies. Better than my ramble dumping info as I get excited when a friend plays the same game as me xD

[@edhikurniawan]

This actually a good newbie guide.

[@arudistemptation]

Played for 2 weeks now and I feel bad for not playing the game since launch because I would probably have a good career in this game now lol.

[@Kimri]

I started the game during Dorothy's event and i honestly wish this video was around back then.

[@rakugaming5643]

thanks for the guide! I just played this game for 2 days

[@MrMcAppletree]

Very good beginner guide! I wished, i had this, when i started the game. It would have saved me a lot of troubles.

[@GHOST01-dg3gq]

im installing the game right now thanks

[@iceicevanilla0407]

Woah, nice explanation for beginners like me and I appreciate it so much especially for the shop and raising the operators. 🤗

[@lebanana151]

I wanna add: just use any operator you like The waifu meta is real

[@kwayke9]

Neat, I've been playing the game for like 10 days or so (level 13 rn). I'll probably save my headhunting models for e2 Mlynar (yes, I have him, and yes, ik I'm lucky af)

[@wagz781]

Also a couple other things to note: Don't disrespect your 2 and 3 stars. The price difference between raising them and raising a 4-6 star is actually quite high. 2 stars can help fill rolls to help with clears in the story, supply, or event missions early on. Rangers and noire crone in particular are probably going to be the most helpful while you're getting established. 3 stars act as your training wheels and will be of primary use to you early on so you have a team that can effectively farm the early content neccessary to start raising higher-rarity units. Additionally, you are going to be chronically low on LMD for most of your existence. It is worth noting that the LMD stages that can be farmed in the story are only mildly less energy efficient, but come with the benefit of dropping materials. I actually reccomend farming there for your lmd until you have a good stockpile of said materials if an event isn't currently going on.

[@Inventors_]

Thanks mate, I gonna start in arknights because two reasons. 1 - Monster hunter 2 - Waifus. (Obrigado mesmo foi bem simples a explicação, e o sotaque brasileiro denuncia bem rápido kkkkkk)

Thank you very much!

[@bazovich]

Great video, as usual, especially the last words about meta and fun. Thank you for inspiration! Also, did you manage to beat bw-8 cm with only 4*? I made my first video about this stage today and i want to see other people tactics, cos i only manage to beat it with 9 ops. Oh, also another question - what video editor do you use?

[@RewriteKuma]

I have a clear of it in the cat tower video, I added a medic for cm, it's a meh clear. For editing software, try Davinci Resolve or Kdenlive

[@thejuggernight1406]

I feel called out as my base is currently farming orundims (my account is 2 years and I have stockpiles of tier 3 mats I am not too worried). for anybody who doesn't have that it is a complete waste

[@littlecat1727]

Watching this as a late game player,

I started playing the game a week ago. I'm losing my in game sanity and my real life sanity trying to asimilate everything the game and the guides tells me. But well there is no easy road to become a furry lover i guess :D

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

I would actually advise against OP packs. They are farmable materials, whereas OP is limited and should only be used for skins since there's no other way to get them.

[@RewriteKuma]

Just buy them, you won't regret. Because here is the thing: Unless you never convert OP to orundum, it's a big waste, bc the pack gives the exact same amount of orundum

[@sashapinesnguyenhienhoa8003]

Wow i havent touch the op pack and starter banner at all what so ever also i never buy operator directly before only the pull ticket duo to the fact i only roll for limted banner

[@midu6011]

I'm struggling with the archive in this game. It kept the red dot saying "updated" on some op and I don't know how to clear it, help me. I have red dot phobia

[@RewriteKuma]

it could be a lot of things, just go to the ops that have the dot and click on the dots until they go away

where did you get the average of 6 star in ~30 pulls? also great vid, I like it when you do vids where you talk lol

From a probability calc. Where else? 😁And thank you

if your average any 6 stars pulls don't score around 36-ish, thats a skill issues.

[@masterX390]

I'm new, I was interested in the game because of some memes on Facebook, I practically started 4 days ago, and I would like to know if there is a calendar or way to know when a character will return. I want to get W. But I don't know if it's a banner or an event.

[@RewriteKuma]

I will give you the important part first, W will get an alter in 5 or 6 months from now, you can get that one more easily. As for the original W, she was a limited character, that means she doesn't rerun normally, and the only way for you to get her is to wait for the banner in january and hope she's there for you to spark with 300 pulls, she might be there, she might not, I do not know how they schedule that, I'm sure someone else will know if you ask around.

[@masterX390]

@RewriteKuma I see, thanks. I was asking because I also play fire emblem heroes. And there in the groups they always know what the next banners are even months before they come out, the characters got leaked, etc. At 300 pulls. Do they let you choose the character you want? I didn't understand that very well.

[@RewriteKuma]

@@masterX390 yes, at 300 in limited banners you get to choose one of the 6★. People do know when these ops come back, I'm just a weird one, I don't care too much about the gacha part of the game

[@masterX390]

@@RewriteKuma 180,000 of those red points then... I have the monthly package and still, thats a seems like a lot. Like how long it takes to save all that. Have you ever managed to make those 300 pulls?

You can stop their explosion skill with shift, stun, sleep, levitate or freeze. If you silence them before they start, they also don't use it

@@RewriteKuma i think shift and slow is all i have

yes, just make sure your shaw has skill lvl 7, they are weight 4, so you need at least force 2, which shaw has

[@kazuryouh3781]

Looking back at it, arknights aren't really beginner friendly and if you aren't going around asking or lurking more, you will get bored of it

[@charginginprogresss]

This is a true and also misleading statement. Arknights isn't beginner friendly as, if you parrot your usual way of playing mobile gacha games. It won't work here. If you know what to do, the game is easy. You can have a couple of Elite 2s and be in chapter 5 by the first 3 days.

[@kazuryouh3781]

@@charginginprogresss maybe I should emphasis more about not beginner friendly doesn't mean it's hard but, yeah I agree. I put on the perspective of new player who tried arknights as their first gacha game. And it's not beginner friendly in term of 'sense of direction' like, what should I do, what should I prioritize, if I reached a certain point what should I do, etc. Because arknights are different from any gacha game hence why, you should lurk and asking more or you will get bored out of it. (Given from my personal experience with mine and my friends)

in your base, you craft it in a factory, the same place you make gold and XP, you just gotta have the T2 chips and a catalyst, which the game gives you some, but you can also buy from the red cert shop
