Most maps I chose for this video are new or relatively relevant map since I don't think using him in old maps would show how useful he is in current meta (outside of complimentary 7-18 bully). Also it's been awhile since i've made this kind of video, let me know if you like this format and what I could do to improve it! I'll take any criticism.

[@Potato-zj2kn]

Maybe include info about the mod (what it provides)

[@pepego2595]

Maybe put the mod detail in the description

[@shark9466]

Silverash mod3 showcase

[@matthewuchiha]

A voiceover over what the mod upgrades are and your opinion would be nice!

[@Shadow6OO]

The vs Chongyue section was a bit unfair to Chongyue, had you put him one tile to the right (and replace Skalter with a healer on both sides so they can heal that position) then Chonguye would have been in a better position to actually take out all the enemies rather than letting them pile up out of his reach. Unless they are some mechanics from that chapter I'm not taking into effect, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have leaked those elite enemies.

[@ReiruYT]

The poison stacking in practice is satisfying to see how it ramps up.

[@pallas-bq2fi]

And no more enemy getting out of range and surviving with 1hp

[@abduhzuhdi8391]

ngl I like this kind of showcase. most of people use old map, only a little who use current map so I really appreciate it. new map means testing how's good old dps ops so yeah, waiting for another content like this if you don't mind

[@ringojuice7084]

Real nice to see how different the damage is and how much it means to whether he leaks/fails to hold pre and post mod Good to see him being competitive around the staple laneholders too

[@JAzure-hk1sx]

No Way. Fried Urchin's back on the menu bois

[@azirul9311]

Wow, this video was great. The Wanted posters bit caught me off guard honestly. Absolutely stellar showcase. The 7-18 clear was a nice throwback too since Thorns was the original laneholder waaay back then there. Pseudo works as a SilverAsh showcase too.

[@KureoZen]

No more Thorns Bad in 2024!

[@memoryofsalem4474]

Who has ever said that? I just want a name

[@straycat2033]

​@@memoryofsalem4474This. Sure Thorns has fallen off a bit but he's always been a consistently good operator

[@soulhellaze9414]

Never is Never will

[@soulhellaze9414]

Never is Never will

[@pallas-bq2fi]

Now with arts damage hes even more timeless, since yeah enemies can have fucken atrocious defense, but arts is arts.

[@ayamkremes]

enemy wanted poster with their stat is a good addition for the showcase

[@WTFUrNotJLo]

Such a stylish way of presenting the opposition. I hope it stays 🙂

[@kuuryusi]

i bought him using the 30$ pack because i really like his aesthetics but i'm happy that we'll get his module soon too!

[@gribberoni]

The wanted posters are such a nice little detail to show how strong the enemies are! Awesome work!

[@gibsson]

Wake up babe, 25thnight is uploading

[@redgopnik2227]

thongs gaming we're so back

[@Ngxn1211]

thorns module is what Blue Poison dream of

[@Agito5V]

Noway more vids from Night Really like that you use more recent maps to make it different from other comparison vids and I like the presentation

[@raffyluvmiharu]

No way!! Thorns Good? Anyways, really interest to see his poison stacking. AT first, was hoping Thorns finally can regen HP even without not attacking requirement. Maybe change it to not getting hit by x sec. BUT poison stacking is good too. Thorns back in being one of the best lane holder. I hope future operator have this. I think you should add at the start what does the Module do and I like the Wanted Sign on speciric target you want to test the module on.

[@monoq_]

Nice showcase of his module. I see you regularly upload videos again and I'm looking forward for more AK videos.

[@miirico5398]

Such an amazing module definitely put Thorns back as a viable laneholder, a much better improved version at that!

[@sebby5060]

He's so back The goat The Iberia Ambassador

[@Joker-um1el]

nice video and great songs

[@tomogumodu]

More comparisons and showcases like this, mr strimmer!

[@butter4903]

Great format, really appreciate the comparison with other laneholders + using more recent maps since people complain about Thorns in more modern content.

[@qurt5101]

1) Thorns damage is better now 2) I didn't realize Mountain was that good

[@rakhasusetyo1408]

You're back🎉🎉

[@keita_.]

This is the power of SU🅱️REME ARTS

[@jo-ri-oh8950]

Were people trolling when they said that his module was bad ?! I can't understand how someone could think that

[@Potato-zj2kn]

Well his mod powers him up significantly but he is still an early year-2 op with no support utility. New power-creeping ops have been raising the bar for enemies' stats and skills as well so he still can not compete even with mod.

[@fz_dracohart1255]

​@@Potato-zj2knYou got 12 slots in your team. Utilize that to the full. He's strong not solve-all nuke button like Walter and it's not a bad thing. Thorns fall off in very hard difficulty endgame contents that basically are for hardcore tryhards. He's still very usable even in CM of S stages.

[@RainForest-kq6rn]

​@@fz_dracohart1255sure. I'd use 24 mod blocks for someone more impactful though. Eg, degenbrecher, Zuo Le He's nice but ultimately old ops with weak talents. The mod kinda save him. So I guess a win for thorns enjoyers?

[@triluong6702]

Because Typhoon exist

[@baduser103]

Quite liked the 11-13 showcase, showed his laneholding ability is noticably better against the mid tier elites and trash mobs you’d usually use him for, while also letting him sting elites he couldnt scratch before.

[@albarn9348]

NOWAYING

[@shaunaburst5638]

what does his Mod do?

[@nad4243]

His mod is quite impressive. His poison thingy feels alot cooler to use now

[@Yammatti]

Mountain has a module?

[@donteatmybreaddontlookdown9459]

Thorns rules💥💥💥

[@clytievangogh2421]

The strongest lane holder in history

[@reverztino]

thorns so good

[@andyjackson7116]

Newbie youtuber but already make the best showcases of EN😭

[@brianchu8147]

Newbie? He ain’t a newbie lol

[@mr.clevertrick8710]

Huh? This guy has been streaming AK for years lol

[@KazumaKS]

lmao newbie he said

[@doctorkuroshi]

Not only gets hotter, he's faster, stronger now ❤

[@xynester]

No way Thorns good now????

[@Dr.Krezotexe]

Thorns good in 2024? Nowaying

[@kevinthesublime2317]

Everyone hates Londinium Defense Artillery

[@TamamoNines]

No wei

[@frauflaw100edibleorganicco9]

How tf is his DOT damage better than ascalon, whose entire reason for existence is her high DOT too And he stack faster too since higher aspd

[@5upermini555]

Ascalon hits all enemies in range though

[@fathurrahmansukelsyah7334]

Thorn is full DOT, while Ascalon have movement speed debuff on it so they make it bit weaker than Thorn DOT.

[@sebby5060]

His DOT not that good The good one is 10% arts damage and flat atk from module

[@Virtualself17]

I remember someone say in youtube comment section. "ThOrN is NoT MEta AnYmORE" Stfu 😂

[@henrymills5838]

"HG gave Thorns the one thing he didn't need" they said🥱

[@shaunaburst5638]

what does his Mod do?

[@hiiro8599]

his passive poison now can stack up i think

[@yukitakeru4719]

increase poison damage and it can stack, stage 1 also give him some art dmg too
