Once Foreigner class score releases, without a doubt she's gonna be the servant that benefits the most of it. Kuku will remain insanely powerful, Koyan Dark will be even stronger, but Aoko in particular is going to get A LOT back in the Extra and Buster department. She feels kinda like Arcueid; with low-mid investment, she's just ok at best. For those who hyper invest tho? 120 max appends Aoko with maxed class score is probably bonkers. I legit hope she has a future in the game, perhaps even getting buffs to solve this unnecessary extreme balancing towards making her the "not second coming of Kukulkan". Her top tier animations deserve the power to show them off often.

[@morsayxd]

If you think THIS is ok , i dont know what you think is cracked.

[@VitorAntas]

@@morsayxd like Plushie said, she is a case of overbalancing. For everything she has that may seem "busted", there is a downside. Her Buster and Extra performances are halved compared to other servants, making her AoE honestly kinda weak - only players who hyper invest into her (AKA a minority) will see them actually doing something. What's more, the first NP, which buffs her Buster and Extra, consists of a REMOVABLE effect, even though they're a permanent buff for the transformed state. Buff removal is frankly quite common in harder fights, many times happening upon breaking an HP bar. Her Supereffective niche is inconsistentas she demands too many Magic Bullets to be relevant, so she has to have dead turns to stack them enough for damage to be really significant; the Extra attack consuming all bullets is a huge offender for this issue, as even with CD reduction stacking S1 Magic Bullets is a tad hard. Lastly, her NP gain lowered in Super form coupled with the fact that her pre-transformation S2 gets blocked post transformation really seals the deal.

[@morsayxd]

@@VitorAntas bro every unit has a downside. We are talking about a unit that have aoe dmg on fc and even if her dmg is halved on extra and buster on paper , on practice her dmg is still significant , buff removal is common but isnt present in every 2 fight , her magic bullet gimmick is far better than most considering some unit that are wanked to shit like ibuki only have their gimmick against one type of enemy. You are calling "ok" a unit that has a 100% battery and can give 50% to the entire team , which is ludicrous. Not only that she has a solemn def on a 4t cd and get 5 magic bullet which is enough for the standard niche , yet you want to call the magic bullets "inconsistent" when some servant just have no niche in some fight. no talking about the fact that she has 2 skillsets and give 10% charge passively to the whole party and 5 stars.

Wish Super Aoko’s NP (and deck in general) was more Buster orientated though to synergize better with that 20-50% Buster up permanent uptime from using normal Aoko NP. Normal Aoko should have been more Arts orientated with more emphasis as a support role considering Normal Aoko has a skill that gives party 20% battery every turn.

I think there needs to be maths done regarding her Extra card. I'm pretty sure it should be situationally more powerful than her NP cards. Keep in mind that Extra cards can also be powered up by Append 1 and Class Score (when unlocked) so there's definitely ways for it to out-perform her NP, assuming the Invul Pierce and/or Def Ignore is not needed. Also, keep in mind that Extra cards in a Triple Card-Type Brave Chain (unsure about Mighty chain) have a 350% card modifier instead of the usual 200% on a regular Brave chain.

[@PlushieMistress]

Ok even it’s possible why bother , most cases you would rather use her NP still regardless, the np doesn’t even waste all the bullets if you have over 10

[@manafusion]

@@PlushieMistress In terms of solo runs, lower NP levels actually makes her Extra more appealing to use. NP1 with 8 starting stacks and max Append 1 as well as all of Super Aoko's buffs will result in her Same-Color Extra doing 1653.75% damage while her NP does 1176.12%. Even with team support, unless you can ensure that Aoko can have a persistent amount of Arts Up and/or NP Damage Up buffs, there will be windows where using her Same-Color Extra will result in much more damage. I'm just mentioning it because I feel that it's an outlook that's being missed atm and if someone wants to min-max Aoko's damage, they need to also take this into consideration. EDIT: Apparently, Mighty Brave Chains do not get the boosted 350% Extra modifier but gets the base 200% Extra modifier. Makes it less appealing and harder to make her Extra attack be useful unless solo-ing or by some miracle of god.

I believe the intent behind losing the S2 buff after transformation is that it literally turns into the passive, so it wouldn't make sense to have both at the same time. Sure, you could've differentiated them a bit more so it wouldn't be necessary, but so much of the game's mechanics are already defined by flavor, I kinda feel like ship has long sailed on that one. Even Aoko's Territory Creation and Item Construction are only there to show how much she sucks at magic. I also assume this is the same reason her NP gain is so gimped after transformation: she has to have a passive for her magic circuits, so the rest of the kit has to allow for it.

I think you may have underestimated her potential for crit support. Her base form's 3rd skill is strong, even if the demerit nullification isn't useful for the main DPS. The 2 turn CD on her 1st skill makes it so she's going to be making a ton of stars over time, especially with 2030 ce. The 2nd skill gives 20% np per turn, which is also very strong. She can even help by doing some damage with her own crits, since the bullets give her a 50% attack buff. It's not going to be optimal, but using her as a support to enable crits has its merits.

A 40+ minute analysis of Aoko and zero mention of Dual Aoko setups which is where she shines in multicore... Double Aoko with Morgan, Tonelico and Archetype Earth are solid setups.

[@PlushieMistress]

How do you trigger her initial np lol, kscope?

[@LuniSq]

@@PlushieMistress kscope or a 50% ce with Castoria plug to a third DPS like Arcueid, xNaya has some proof of concepts you no doubt will have seen.

[@muratticugaratti1571]

​@@LuniSq0 bonus CE setup with 30k AOE busters? Thats what i call a good setup

[@PlushieMistress]

@@LuniSqyeah and they’re bad, lol, just because a content creator comes up with a fun comp doesn’t mean they are good including many videos I do. Its fun over practical for most content bc nobody wants to see boring practical stuff

[@Ottobean]

@@LuniSq if your multicore setup requires multiple kscopes then there is absolutely no reason to specifically use double aoko lol

[@Basically_Anybody]

Why do you keep calling Aesc Tonelico?

[@bleach4k239]

Regardless if she has bullets or none, she'd always have 100% supereffective damage.

[@N120Xeno]

This is why Alice is the true prize of the collab. Not the loud, thick headed, foul mouthed, hollowed brained, reckless, arrogant, ignorant, vulgar, incompetent, ill mannered, abusive, rude, gullible, brutish berserker that is Aoko Aozaki

[@ChaldeaWarmaster]

Is that you Touko?

[@carrotcake6088]

This must be Touko's secret account

[@lordtea]

Not really The real prize if aoko is caster while alice is foreigner

[@tsukujam3080]

Are you talking about her kits?

[@TheAnaz41745]

t. Alice

[@exuuuuuuu]

So funny how some people are calling her BUSTED when she's a little too balanced if anything

[@reishiki8682]

I think most criticisms are too focused on just farming which drags her value down a bit. Guess this means people got a wake-up call that "facecarding exists".

[@GS_CCC]

Well, the game is mostly farming so makes sense the criticism is focused on farming, if anything the importance of CQ/bosses is really inflated when talking about a servant.

[@owo4288]

90% of the game is just farming. It would have been a different story if this story has other game mode for end game content instead just one CQ, 2 if they are generous, per event.

[@GS_CCC]

@@owo4288 90% is being generous to CQs/main quest, even if you just use your daily AP on JP you will be doing 9 nodes daily and 6 during events, its a minimum of 180 nodes per months, its probably closer to 99.9%.

[@kingkunta3753]

@@GS_CCC y'all just endlessly farm every day?

[@GS_CCC]

@@kingkunta3753 no, on JP you only have enough daily AP for 9 nodes a day outside of events and 6 during, it takes little of no time to farm all you need on the day, especially since you can't use all in one go because it needs to recharge

[@kenwilliamang2696]

Sometimes Type moon need an easy balance servant, Aoko already a repeating tragedy from before. I'm overall disappointed of the over balancing effect, still though nice np song and design.

[@kenwilliamang2696]

well, also still like the Aoko gameplay though even though it's complex.

[@alispeed5095]

Mid-Oko. l will see myself out.

[@hmmmmname]

Pretty easy skip for me, I love the fact that they're experimenting with Servant skillsets (albeit almost 10 years in) but because of how the core game is structured (and because they're not the best at balancing character gimmicks) it's just not for me. It's funny how many Servants could be fixed (quite easily) if they just got their heads out of their asses for their skill/NP buff structure. Simple balance fixes would save so many Servants really quickly instead of making these braindead monthly (if not yearly) buff "events" that in some cases don't even address the Servants issue.

[@GS_CCC]

You don't like it when after 3-4 years a servants gets a crit up or guts skill or they buff the np dmg from a servant with 0-20% charge and no refund 🤡

[@morsayxd]

a better unit than any previous foreigner imo , aside maybe kuku and overall one of the better unit to own in the game
