Ebenholz vs All bosses! | Arknights CN

[@DeathRusherYT]

Ebenholz is E2LVL70 S3M3 and has his module equipped and his module level is 3. His skill at M3 gives him ASPD +80, ATK +65% and can only target elite or leader enemies. the damage bonus of the first talent is increased to 140% of the original one. His 1st Talent is: The damage of the stored attack energy has been increased to 143% , and an additional attack energy can be stored only for attacking elite or leader enemies. His 2nd Talent :If there are no other enemies around the target, the attack will deal additional spell damage equal to 15 % of the attack power. Thanks for watching!!

Surtr :Look what they need to do for a fraction of my power

[@darkomihajlovski3135]

they need to give him a module were he can't attack until he has all of his stacks like he could kill most of the bosses in single skill duration if he didn't waste time with normal attacks

[@aruku6260]

He already have module but still suck.... Wish they add branch module or atleast revamp his skill 3

[@randoscience4756]

Actually he can utililze sleep debuff team like sora, blemishine, kafka, and iris to stall before he reach max stack, but Idk whether every boss is immune to sleep or not.

[@anhnguyenhoang210]

@@randoscience4756 Most of them aren't immune to sleep. But it's straight up better to just burst the boss down with DPS carry and dmg buff/debuff like Shamare, Suzu cunny or Wafa, instead of dedicating a whole team to fix his own crippling anti-synergy.

[@darkomihajlovski3135]

[@lucahisgay2511]

hmm he is a fine addition to the sleep meta actually. Especially since s3 stacks are fast you can have him burst 3 to 4 times if you time kafka and the other sleepers finely, which makes for a fine boss killer imo. But then again without sleep team he's really subpar and not worth using much

Like others have said, he would be a lot better if he had a chance to store up charges during his s3, as his attacks are kinda wimpy after the huge burst at the beginning

[@gucci4838]

Its underwhelming after that charged hit. Maybe apply Kafka sleep so he can charge another burst hit.

a great idea

[@gamingrex2930]

You literally need a sleep applier team for him to hit shit 3 times before being butt fuck useless for the rest of the round. Mind you, sp battery'd blacknight and kafka can perma stall in cc but this ebenholz guy gets smacked down by APSD decrease tags.

Dude needs the passenger treatment

[@littlebluemoon267f]

I think his use is primarily to launch some one-time big pp damage at once so you can either have much less work on your hands or finishing off what little HP a boss has left. Just that his archetype and DP cost reduced his usability by, like, a lot.

[@littlebluemoon267f]

With buffs he might be viable, but if you can afford to buff him then there is no real reason to not buff something like Surtr or Exusiai instead

[@nataloserlover]

@@yubiyubiw Res affects Eben and Eyja the same way so if Eben's S3 dps really is double of Eyja's S3 at 0 res then it would still do so at any res. The truth is he doesn't

[@BringOnTheTrumpets]

I just realized he has 3 different attacks like he's conducting a waltz, that's a nice touch.

[@Rina-riin]

The best way to use him is to combine him with Sora or Kafka because of sleep. That way he can have enough time to store another charged and deal more DMG and then deal with rest, using both with him is also great idea

[@TokinoSora10thApostle]

That skill is amazing, but please let us to store his balls until certain numbers. Elite enemies is flocking by the end chapter. Toggle-able only aerial units, convert HP to 5 balls, can only be used when 3 numbers of balls, lower the damage so it become pseudo s2 Castmiya. Just synergize his S3 with his archetype. Im not talking about damage, but his s3 is not optimal for his balls stacking, even anti-synergistic with increased att speed.

[@vengefulspirit4262]

Balls stacking 😳

"Store his balls" 👀

[@exzobree9158]

Man i wanna see that balls stacking tho.

[@ahmadyulinu]

He'd be sooo much better if they just make him can't attack unless he has 3 charges. The ASPD bonus wouldn't go to waste either as it'll allow him to stack charges faster.

[@John_Robertson_3rd]

They should have just made one of his skills store 2-3 charges where when you activate the skill it immediately maxes out his basic atk charges so he can hit with max basic atk charges more than just once

The problem with all arts operators is that resistance reduces damage by percentage, rather than a flat number.

[@Mont3rAK]

So if enemy have 90 RES basically reduced allies damage by 90% ?

[@awesomesauce980]

@@Mont3rAK Essentially. At max level (minus trust) Eyjafjalla has 645 atk. An enemy with 90 res would drop her damage to 64 dmg per hit.

[@user-cs8pb5mi7n]

Thats also why someone with 20% artdmg guaranteed is such busted op

[@KaoruSugimura]

I mean, def reduces by a flat amount but boss enemies have significantly higher def values. Most enemies are 40 or less in res meaning you at least get 60% of your atk on them. Meanwhile, there are a lot of enemies well over 800+ def which is more than 60% of the atk for the vast majority of operators. Either way, debuffers/buffers are meta for a reason. If you don't use Shamare/Pramanix/Saria/Suzu/Warfarin etc then you should probably build them as they can make a massive difference in your dmg.

[@awesomesauce980]

@@KaoruSugimura But there's also an assortment of ways to reduce Def, where res debut is generally more limited. Also, damage buffs like warfarin are much more effective of physical damage dealers

too op if left alone lmao

[@aeonawriter911]

Well if it's just Infinite Charge then yeah pretty busted, but that be a neat idea with the balance of a hard damage cap Like shit that skill sounds really sick

[@lephucchan8114]

@@aeonawriter911 Well, in my opinion, the idea is not too broken, but quite balanced. Having the ability to one shot any enemy sounds good but before that op couldn't attack so in fact his/her dps is still remained the same. And now a day all bosses have 2 or more phases so after one-shoted first phase of the boss we have to stall long enough for his/her to charge up to one shot the boss again, during that time other ops (for example, Surtr, Ch'en Alter, SilverAsh..etc) was already able to finished the boss. Wait isn't be able to one shot 1 phase of a boss is broken.... nah.... isn't it?

[@davidchan7552]

@@lephucchan8114 generally the dangerous phase of a boss is phase 2, so if you regularly kill the boss before hand and then just one shot it after it leaves invincibility it'd trivialize any bosses that don't just rush for the blue box or have an OP phase 1. If anything this would be better balanced with diminishing returns after a certain charge.

The sparkly thing is him charging an attack and storing it. All Mythic casters do this, they charge up "light spheres" that count for attacks, usually around their staff, and release 3 attacks worth of DMG at once. Ebenholz on S3 can get up to 5 charges

[@kurpophobic7050]

People saying he needs sleep operators to shine clearly never use a mystic caster. They're very powerful with buffer. Everyone is powerful with buffer but mystic caster is on another level. Try pairing him with warfarin and you will understand how strong he is.

[@argent4825]

Of course everyone is better buffed but casters benefit less Let say both a sniper and caster do 100 attack and the enemy has 50 def and res for simplicity if you buff both +100% the sniper will do 150 damage and the caster will only do 100
