If you had to pick one of these and had none, Saria. Unless you have Shu. I had all but Thorns, so I picked Thorns.

[@congphu]

i have thorns and mountain,so i pick saria (although i have shu) because S3 saria help you burst boss by art dame better than shu

[@shiningnightmare5616]

​@@congphu I mean, most casters can do it alone these days but okay

[@bellart_ramana]

@@shiningnightmare5616”most casters” meaning logos. Most late game bosses have high res. Saria is still quite useful.

[@shiningnightmare5616]

@bellart_ramana eh, my Click is doing just fine. By the time your account grows, you're gonna try to look for operators with better burst damage. I haven't even raised my Logos cause don't have the time. :/ Saria is still cool, I still like using her, but I thought it's a bit funny to pick her solely because of the arts fragility. I think there are more options nowadays, even for the lower rarities, I even managed to see a lot of low-rarity clears of harsh stages with only the likes of Click, Indigo, and Pudding.

[@shiningnightmare5616]

But maybe people are mistranslating what I'm saying anyway, cause I'm typing it through the context of the video, which is about which unit newbies should pick. Saria is great long term investment but not exactly the best for newer players that are lacking dps unit. If you're already well-off with solid squad built, just pick anyone you want.

[@Wanderingswordwind]

The only one I already had was Thorns, and I know saria or blaze may have been a more correct "Meta" choice, but I wanted Exusiai. So I got her. (Already had two decent medic defenders in Neral and Blemishine anyways.)

[@UmbralHollow]

Appuru pie!

[@ecka1628]

This is really good for a new player who started playing when wisadel banner. Just pick what you need for your rooster! Me personally, Thorns is my starter he's still king of annihilation imho. I cleared all annihilation stage with thorns+guide i found on youtube. Especially he have module now. i skip blaze and saria, already have gavial alter, shu, max gummy. Mountain really good for new player, but not me unless just for collection or you really like him. I am mountainless but i dont have trouble with my guard laneholder for endgame content till now; which is thorns, gavial alter+myrtle s1m3 that i usually use, only thorns not module yet. Exu she's great but i already have typhon, kroos alter and wisadel. So I just pick SA. because i'm lacking with reveal invis operator, eventho i already have scene with her module but its not enough. Idc if people said, SA fall down. maybe they already have ines or another meta operator so they dont feel suffer in CCBP#1 His module is good tho. Just dont compare his swing² with mlynar, He's too broken. U can skip SA if u dont like him, or u already have ines or scene and planning to get uncle in the shop in near future. I just bring both 😅

[@kuuroukurohippo6886]

I'm obviously pick Blaze. Lately my playstyle is leaning to AFK (since I'm already on lategame) and I have almost all the listed operators but Blaze and not having Blaze for AFK gaming is FREAKING SUCKS.

[@orionhunter204]

Somehow I always cope with weedy S2 + Skalter S2 as my blaze replacement in afk strats. But there are just no good substitute for thorns in afk strats.

[@blueberrycrepes]

Me having already picked, still want to watch it

[@oalahmboh]

Finally, my own Thorns.

[@ruslanfales6058]

Even his actuality fell down, I just need my hot man Silver Ash (I was waiting for him 3 years 😭)

[@ooczzy]

if you have none of these characters, thorns is objectively the best one, especially after the module

[@nfzen7482]

If only his 3rd skill is auto active, i would say so and max pot him

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

He is only the best if you can E2 him, not for newer players to pick

[@jhonatanperez9481]

If you are a new player mountain is likely the best out of all of them and just like Thorns you can use him even at late-game

[@slept5971]

Thorns have the same problem with ling, unless youre playing IS or doing low ops run, once you get more strong operators, its just more convenient to use those other operators, specially since thorns dps can be replaced by most 6 star casters/snipers with half the work.

[@reaperandyel]

Thorns is ground sniper. Mountain is ... well a mountain.

[@phalanxt2416]

such a well deserved name.

[@jonasjurgelevicius2121]

SA was only one I was lacking on my roster, so it was obvious choice for me!

I picked mountain. First I'm a maleknight player, already have thorns and SA. 2nd, i often see myself use fast redeploy to suport my vanguard early on th3 map, mountain is perfect

[@Hurricane047]

I wanted to get blaze because I like AFK but I also wanted mountain for the same reason, so I was unsure on who to go for, luckily for me and with incredibly good timing I got blaze from top op tag yesterday so now I can just pick mountain

[@toomanyships7556]

Finally that box guy will have his thorns if he ever comes back

Thorns, next question.

[@Scendscale]

Reason i started the game a couple weeks ago was Apple Pie, i got apple pie for free today! im happy!

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

If you have all of them but pot 1 only. Get a pot for mountain. You almost ALWAYS deploy him second (after Myrtle) and having 1 less DP can be crucial on fast start stages.

[@th3TwistedLight]

Thorns had eluded me for literal years No more

[@gregoriusriscadoharefa]

Pick saria if you guys dont have shu She also offer the highest value between six of them.

[@samexz1_2]

Welcome home blaze, my nuclear reactor car

[@NazguLMC]

I'll say something unpopular thing but Mountain is overrated. Not because he struggles with high atk or def enemies but also being replaceable by vanguards. Mumu can do things better then anyone and in case you don't have her, the others can do the job too, especially with Myrtle's regen. And unlike Thorns Mountain can't hit aerial. In my case I only miss Mountain and Blaze. As for the Blaze, there's also many options to perform her job equal if not better then her. And I luckily got another one of these options, i.e. Ulpianus. So I'll wait until someone of these two come home then will take another one. My advise for newbies is to choose SA, cuz he could be you tank-lineholder with S2, dps with S3, reveal invis and make your mistakes not as harsh as they could be when your operators are defeated.

[@WinterHE]

Me, with almost all of them at potential 5: I guess I will get one less dp for Thorns.

[@danecraze903]

HG being generous 🙏

[@tsaroftheunion]

I'll say this from a "I don't need these operators" standpoint: Mountain and Thorns are definitely the best picks. I've had Mountain since the start and both he and Thorns have always been in my loadout for my entire experience. SilverAsh looks really cool and has a very good EN VA (I always use EN VAs because I like being able to understand my ops.) Saria seems pretty ok and her lore is interesting to delve into. Blaze is Blaze. Enough said. Exusiai is going to have to be the butt-end of my "analysis" here. Very funny Texas-Exusiai pair but beyond that, I wouldn't pick her over the others.

[@shadow_leafu8354]

Finally getting Mountain as my only missing six star feels like getting the last infinity stone.

[@Anthony-vh6ef]

all of these operators carried me in some form, glad that players are getting a choice!

[@briandovesy7966]

Waited one full year to get Mountain, im so happy

[@fimbulvetr6129]

after trying on every single mountain banner; **finally**, Mountain is mine

[@TheSaraphic]

I am on the fence. I have no good lords and leaning towards Thorns. However, my current meta team is mostly high cost units and I struggle on stages where there is an initial zerg of fast weak units and I love Mountains application in this case, plus he seems better with pots

[@LordNNero]

My personal choice would be to pick Lords and use Charger or Agent Vanguards for those fast weak mob stages. Because I am a long time Vigna user who recently moved on to Fang Alter. But, if you like Mountain for this then you can go for it. He also gets a bonus of being almost crucial for afk clears.

[@TheSaraphic]

@LordNNero Yes all great points. The difference between Mountain and the Agent or Chargers is he can actually sustain and block and can potentially hold a lane for the whole map. It's role compression like Saria is for defenders. Definitely a tough choice though, as Lords do that for air. With max archetto, walter and Ela, I don't struggle.with air units that much and penance does a good job as primary solo lane holder once she's deployed.

[@LordNNero]

@@TheSaraphic Oh! Maxed out an Antiair sniper and have good late game lane holding with Penannce. Also, you won't struggle with burst damage because of Wisadel. So, SA won't be that good for you. Thorns is still useful, but it Seems your team would benefit more from Mountain. To be fair, he was my second top pick after Thorns. But, I chose Thorns because he is a Carry unit (the type of unit you choose from support units, so now I can choose someone else from support unit and benefit from having him as well).

[@TheSaraphic]

@LordNNero It's definitely still a really tough choice. Will hold the ticket for now. Unsure if you can get Mountain from top op tags in recruitment now....I do know Thorns is possible from there.

[@LordNNero]

@@TheSaraphic Both of them will be available in Shop with Yellow Certificates at sometime. I want both Mountain and Mudrock in the future. So, I may wait and get them from the shop when they come.

[@Wx78zZ]

if you new to the game get silverash, he ain't niche if youre new unless you have wisadel or mlynar accidentally get silver ash he's the first meta defining operator in the game, i remember rerolling back in the day just to get him in beginner banner. if you newbie then you dont have a choice get silverash, delete button version 1. on god. then you can decide wether its thorns and saria or mountain, on new tutorial its mostly thorns and saria that gets picked, then mountain. you choose but if you newbie, most old levels require silverash, i mean most old tutorials on hard levels. saying he's niche for a newb is an disrespect when he's the only mlynar of the newbies😮‍💨

[@schwarz8614]

For a new player Saria would be way more useful.

[@ak_nora]

The Młynar of newbies is... Młynar. Support slot is right there. (I'm not saying SilverAsh is bad, just your reasoning is weak.)

[@dayronsanchezarias2157]

Incredibly out of all those, only one I consistently use is SA. He has better utility than most Lords and his S3 charges really fast. I like Mountain, but I used to pair him with a flagbearer early stage and thats what Ines is now for. And Thorns DPS is getting less and less relevant in the newer content since you basically need boss killing DPS half the stage.

[@gamrage]

I have Thorns and Blaze. I missed my chance to get Mountain before. I think your assessment of Blaze is a bit off because she's efficient from beginning to mid game at the very least. Exusiai is efficient from early game but even struggles at mid-game. Saria and Thorn are efficient for the entire game. Silver Ash is efficient early to mid game as well.

[@gamrage]

I think for most people their priority would be: Exusiai < Silverash < Blaze < Mountain < Saria < Thorn Blaze is harder to get than Saria so I think some people would pick Blaze > Saria.
