Quartz's IS#2 Test Run - Hard Mode Run with Commentary

[@estebancarrasco5823]

I'm glad you're giving Quartz a chance, who knows, maybe there's a cool module for her in the future

[@bluebutterfly6394]

How about x% regen per sec (calculate d with max hp)

[@Coolguysup]

Watch it give her 15% increased defense

[@baduser103]

That 0 def is such a bizarre design choice. I could understand if she was like pluma and hit all targets in range but she’s still capped by her block and only block 2 at that.

[@shiromiyaalexander3332]

La Pluma still capped by her block amount, but the reason why she is better is due to her skillsets as well as her trait to heal per attack

[@baduser103]

@@shiromiyaalexander3332 La pluma hits all targets in range, which is what I was referring to. She can only heal up to 50x her block count each attack, which is a moot comparison because Quartz doesn’t heal when attacking.

Even though they might not be cutting-edge meta, I have an appreciation for niche Ops like Quartz.

[@justasandvich7168]

She feels like a dreadnought guard taken to the extreme. Sounds painful for regular content but potentially fun for weird comps. Just don't point Aak in her direction. Ever

[@DrSilvergun]

Ended up being a pretty easy run, mostly due to luck. Didn't get any particularly hard stage I couldn't avoid and got all the right stuff to murder Phantom Might do one more on IS#3 if I feel like it, off to sleep now

[@blitzrohan]

Goodnight doctor!

[@rezafebriansyah8620]

Good run, have a nice rest! (Though, I was surprised that you didn't utilize Indigo and Ethan bind combo)

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

I LOVE this video. The idea of a fully commentated run trying to showcase a fairly bad operator is a great idea! I'd love to see this with more ops! The live commentary adds a lot, and really helps to know what's going through your mind as you play

[@etgamer16]

The Best Relic for Quartz “Bend Spears - Deathmatch” Guards Gain +40% ATK & +30 ASPD but -40% DEF There’s Only Gain for her, Unless DEF goes into the Negatives 🤔

-40% of 0 is still 0

[@whateverfitshere]

​@@julz19Might be a bit too late, but it doesn't go negative because it is in percentages, not flat number

[@TigrrGoesOHAI]

The summon tip at 22:00 is really nice to know, I had no idea summons were instantly visible. Neat!

[@strongerthanever2039]

Silvergun: Sometimes I get medic 3 times in a row and the run is dead. That's why I avoid things that have medics in them. 4:29 I want another one. Mooooom! Can we get a new medic? No sweete you already have one. But mooooooooooooom! I want another one!

[@strongerthanever2039]

15:00 What the hell?!! Quartz can actually solo W?!!! And with all of the buffs from hard mode as well! I kinda expected her to get sent back to Ohio with the first nuke ngl.

[@psychocrysis2]

Since W attacks with a single hit nuke as opposed to numerous weak attacks, her 0 DEF doesn't matter as much while her massive HP pool does.

[@arsene_ch2201]

Pretty sure design wise, both Red Shoperators are bound to appear on the MonHun collab, maybe we'll get the Module for Quartz once that arrives.

[@spiderdude2099]

She might be viable if they do something with her module, like give her HP on hit, or on kill to give her some small amount of sustain

[@DeltafangEX]

Yeah, I would have expected HP on kill to be a thing by default tbh. No doubt that if it's not something her module does, it will be something the 5⭐or 6⭐Crusher will have. It's either going to be that, shields, some manual %-based HP healing, or some absolutely insane flat DEF increase. HP on kill (similar to Estelle) is different enough from HP on hit to make Crusher's relatively unique compared to the other Guard archetypes.

[@gigatonwatch]

I feel like something that could go a long way to improving her is giving her a healing up trait. She's clearly not meant to function by herself, but making it so that healers can keep up would be an interesting way of dealing with that without being game-breaking.

[@SilentSpirit671]

Weird? I could've sworn I subscribed to your channel. No matter, I just have to subscribe again. Also, thanks for showing more of Quartz. I have high hopes for her in future content.

[@animaxeraa]

I think the Crusher class should have a healing by percentage skill,either every hit heals or an insta heal like Matoimaru

[@stratego6639]

you know an op is bad if the medic has to tank for the guard

[@echigokurogane8612]

Hmmmm. A new Guard branch where the operators have zero defense in favor of more damage output. Would be real crazy if there was some sort of Supporter branch in the game that had the ability to give allies in their range damage reduction and can also heal them at the same time. 🤔🤔🤔 Oh yeah, there is!

[@SmokuZnadPotoku]

32:00 Once I made them take this treasure because I put an Operator to the left and that moved my opponent onto the treasure xDD

[@tooru2379]

Would've been Better if every time she basic atks she stacks def for a short period of time then resets if she doesn't.

I think HG is testing the water here with Quartz. If this new archetype proves to be useful, maybe they'll consider improving it for future contents. But yeah, that 0 Defence definitely hurts.

[@hijisfriend9030]

50% damage reduction.

[@spiderdude2099]

Also maybe increased block count and the ability to hit every enemy in the one tile ahead of her? So maybe she can be a pseudo la pluma? Also, maybe lifesteal on hit?

Ignore some enemy defense because why not? You don't need survivability if you have more damage..

[@DrSilvergun]

ASPD or Block prolly

[@al4vv82]

I think if HG trying make she became like dreadnought guard maybe it would work she has good dps, aoe and 2 block better then skadi on some niche but def 0 is bit concerning I hope she got buff like dreadnought guard, trephist medic, Chain caster etc and really good module. Or maybe waiting for 6* from this archetype and we can more judge or considering thinking all over again

[@zerotrig8331]

heres the point where we'd want Gavial to tank cuz she actually has defense OHHHHHHHHHHH crusher class got roasted entirely

[@yoshikagekira5086]

I think there's potential in this class, however the fact that 4 stars are always so simple there's no real way to make the 0 defense up with anything. I think if they release a 6* of this class they will be MUCH better and have a lot of potential.

[@DrSilvergun]

You can stick Mylnar S3 on anything and make it top tier instantly doesn't make the archetype interesting they don't have a unique trait and are just a 2 block aoe guard with 0 DEF

[@DoodleCraftie]

If they are set on keeping her def 0, i really REALLY wish her skills including a high amount of defense in them. If the skills gave her the high amount of def and aspd on a mid to long downtime then she would be a legit glass canon. right now shes just glass without being able to use the canon :’( Thank you for still giving her some chances to shine bc shes still usable just not what she deserved

[@zchen27]

Or alternative have her gain shields on skill/kill like Penance.

[@denisuya]

Lol, i thought i watched kyostinv's video because this is my first time hearing your voice. Amazing content btw! Edit : is it just me or the Path Preview (the red direction line where enemies will walk through) is showed for longer time?

didn't notice anything but might be some change on cn serrver

[@nershacreave6044]

I feel like she took less damage from lancers bc of some stack overflow bs Not sure tho

[@DrSilvergun]

That's my impression as well I did have 25% reduced movement speed from Ethan and 15% from an item so maybe it was that I'll get some lancers to stab her when I have the time and see what happens
