[@Xephyranth]

honestly pretty amazing overall, she was never meant to take on elite types of the +800 def anyways but it's good to see her damage being specialized towards aerial and mid def enemies be upgraded, still might want a more reliable S3 activation when not doing helidrop strats but at the end of the day, Exia is getting Applepied tonight

[@tyraster8603]

One day she's gonna get an alter anyways. I just wish it gave her some initial SP to facilitate better helidropping.

[@Xephyranth]

@tyraster8603 it kinda feels like HG is prepping her to get an Alter when Lemuen is also released, a sister banner so to say. I'm also willing to bet her alter will be her in a Laterano get up (hopefully long hair) Predictions for her class would be around hunter or deadeye (if they're continuing her motiff of hail of bullets) Full copium cause she's my first and fave 6*

Welcome back my Beloved OG Sniper

[@burpium1767]

Sometimes i kind of brush off "def ignores" and "res ignores" as simply by considering them as just additional damage. Turns out i miss the "true" in that statement, hence it is more fitting to consider those effects as "additional true damage"

[@wise_crack]

Def ignore and res ignore are actually more valuable that atk buffs in some cases, due to how the damage calculation works in this game

[@kyarumomochi5146]

Its not simply additional true damage as against a 1.3k defense enemy she would still deal the exact same damage

[@heroponriki518]

@@wise_crack This one is a flat def ignore. There’s no circumstance where it’d be better than an atk buff of equal numbers as far as I know. It is obviously bigger numbers than they would realistically give atk for but in this case what you say is not necessarily true.

[@barcodeverifier9256]

True Damage is a type of damage Franka can deal practically True Damage cuz she can ignore DEF but her attacks still falls under Physical Damage category means her attacks are affected by Physical Dodge True Damage ignores everything except for Damage Reduction

[@bruh-mt2in]

@@barcodeverifier9256 Not quite. Ignoring def is still very different from true damage because there's a lot of enemies with damage reduction (like the slugs in chapter 10). True damage also ignores damage reduction btw, that's why the artillery cannon one shots those same enemies

[@neonayse8803]

The module situation is crazy

[@aymeraldds9126]

Meanwhile Archetto got the 2 most useless module in history

[@LZ51190]

Let's cope with Archetto delta module, cuz doubt she will get an Alter, different than Exusiai >_>

[@irfanhandono]

Both are useless to kill bosses. They're meant to kill drones and mobs of weak enemies.

[@vanzeralltheway8638]

Look at Fartooth Justina and i dare you to say that again.

[@emrysankokuboshi]

I'm happy for Exu, but goddamn, seeing that module talent just makes me completely sad as a Rosmontis enjoyer, whose only somewhat noteworthy talent being how high her flat def ignore is, which, last I checked, was the highest before this came out, with Rosmontis talent being flat def ignore being 160(+15) to 220(+15) with max module (and yes, I do understand it's a ramp up type of thing per hit, but it's not like it matter when it's on Exusiai.) Like, I know I shouldn't compare an AOE specialized sniper to a ST sniper, but I just can't help it especially it with how sub par she was even on her release.

[@straypaper]

@@emrysankokuboshi well, look at the bright side. Ros being Flinger means she naturally has ginormous ATK, which means she has an easier time going over the enemy's DEF. To Exu, that 250 ignore often means hitting for 30 damage or 40 damage. But for Ros, that 220 ignore more often than not is just straight up 220 more damage. Exu's skills might make that 40x5 damage per hit, but Ros also has 220+110+110 of her own. And we haven't even mentioned the AoE damage.

[@M.Ochasan]

Add: Exu Y can kill P1 Mephisto in 1 cycle skill

[@mustafaamraan8110]

No doubt I think everyone can agree this one new mod Exu is pretty decent, she can burst better on mid def enemies. damn i dont know did i waste on first mod. Even the air enemies die faster than the previuos mode where increase 10%. I never thought they will give her def ignore for sec mod, even capp at 250 def that already decent to me.

[@chococherry4601]

Finally, I can use her again 6 months later. Such a long wait for her next better mod. I rarely have her in my squad lately

[@NicolasBlais-k7s]

What's good with this mod is that Exu is no longer as much the only 6 star that gets easily blockaded by a single foe. Archetto can deal as much or more raw dps on secondary targets as on first on any skill. And Thorns has the odd S2 and more base dmg.

[@Alexandragon1]

Thx for the video!

[@nekolatheneko]

[@raffyluvmiharu]

And doesn't even need the help of Auntie Warfie yet too. Even if I got her ModX to lvl 3 already. I think I will still get this for her. ModX has paid for its worth already.

[@heataugust8965]

Her S3 short duration and very small mastery improvement combine with random activation are still problems that prevent her to be a decent DPS even with mod Y.

[@reaperandyel]

Bruh, she can shred the UFO now?

[@irfanhandono]

I'll be sticking with marksmen to kill drones. I already have Mlynar who can easily delete these bosses.

[@arknightsfunnyman]

Oh Exusiai is actually good enough against tankier enemies! Wonderful!

[@user-mg4rc1qw6w]

so much better than previous one. I want refund

[@blindtreeman8052]

remember ya'll. buffers exist. that 800 def wall will feel like paper

[@straypaper]

She scales better with debuffer in fact. With Shamare's 50% DEF cut, the bigger they are, the more DEF gets shred. With Shamare, Exu can take down up to 1200 DEF enemies. With both Shamare and Ely, that threshold jumps to 2000 DEF. As long as Exu is above the enemy DEF, she scales better than anyone else with Warfarin. Every point of ATK over enemy DEF given by Warf will get multiplied by 5 hits (500%). Other operators can only dream of having 400% ATK modifier.

[@Hiarin]

just a superior module

[@TheConsoleShowdown]

Besides seeing this module against high def enemies, I would also like to see a comparison of how she performs against stages with large amounts of flying enemies

[@Zeitzbach]

I like where it is going even if she still struggle with high def enemies as that is kinda meant to be the multi-hitter biggest weakness if you're doing physical damage instead of art with only the most broken character blatantly breaking it so we don't treat her as the norm. The only way to make a better module is to give these character crit but that's honestly kinda risky and we already have Ela punching through stuff with ease and intruding. The best sign of what HG has in mind for Marksman is really how this Module is released the same time we get a very strong debuffer who can actually do a good amount of damage as well instead of just being pure stat debuff for funny steroid strat. Likely the day the rapid-fire Ops will truly shine anyway is when HG finally give the players access to Corrosion Elem as stacking that with def ignore + buffs is likely what will allow Marksman to melt high def enemies like butter.

[@fragarach]

really good wow

[@TrapConnoisseur.]

With the new module + the regular warfarin shamare she could legit deal 60% of walter's single target damage while solo!

[@RafikelJar]

Very good showcase Night, can we get a comparison as to which module is better paired with warfarin please?

[@IrvineTheHunter]

Why would Warfarin [or really any buff] be worth more on Mod 1!?, it's 250 extra damage per hit vs. any enemy with 250 defense vs. what 10% extra buff when targeting flying? unless your buff army is giving her 1500 ATK AND she's targeting flying of course this is the better mod.

[@shikikawagiri]

[@nickgem25alt]

Is it worth to choose her instead of Thorns? I'm still holding on to the 6* selector and have been thinking about who to choose for a while now.

[@Konpekikaminari]

It is only if you're a new player who still struggles E2ing 6☆ operators Thorns becomes a laneholding god at E2, but before that he is barely better than Midnight, while Exu is a very good anti-air almost immediately (which is crucial in early game) If you're not new, then not really (unless you really like her)

[@nickgem25alt]

@Konpekikaminari thorns it is then! Thanks bro 🙏😁

[@IrvineTheHunter]

Even if your new the 4* meteor is easier to build and comparable to Exi even at E2 for the AA niche. Blaze, Thorns, Saria, and Mountain are all really good though.

[@antarex4017]

sadly the module scale poorly with buffs compared to no module... the increase is not that big. If only it was %

[@straypaper]

Why is everyone expecting Exu to do things on her own? You have Degen and Mlynar and Typhon and what have you for that. If you're not using buff army with her then why even bring her? Her entire point is that every point of ATK, every point of DEF shredded for her will be multiplied by 5. She makes better use of a buff army than anyone else will ever do.

[@IrvineTheHunter]

Mlyner hits 5 enemies for x10 on buff, Degen hit's 6 and gets a potential of x25~ on burst plus def shred, Typhon of course hits for x10 times on S3 vs. heavies and has def shred before including her high base attack for %buffs like Stainless or Warf. Only reason to really use her is if you like her, she isn't meta either way.

[@straypaper]

@IrvineTheHunter Degen deals 25x for the ENTIRE duration of her S3. If you want to count entire duration, how many times does Exu hit throughout her S3? Let's say 10x (lmao no way in hell with her ASPD) which means she deals 50x. Degen only wins when Exu can't get over the target's DEF. Once Exu does get over the enemy's DEF, she will SKYROCKET and deal exponentially more damage than Degen with every point of ATK you give her. "BuT iN pRActICe eXU wIll NeVER geT oVEr eNEmY DEF on HEr oWN" Yeah, that's why I said she's the best *AT SCALING WITH BUFF AND DEBUFFS.* I'm not talking about DPH, DPS, boss killing, mob killing. No. I'm talking about BUFF SCALING. Have I gone through yet?

[@straypaper]

@IrvineTheHunter crank the number higher then. 3000 DEF with Sham, Ely, Pram as debuffer. Exu will fight against 270 DEF (3000*0.3*0.5*0.6) and Degen will fight against 162 DEF (3000*0.3*0.5*0.6*0.6). On S3, Exu hits for 600 per hit, while Degen on S3 hits for 2300 per hit. Exu deals 330 DPH, while Degen deals 2140 DPH. Here's where it gets juicy so listen tf up. Degen does this 10 times and caps it off with 3350 damage for a total of 26,350 total damage. Exu let's say scores 20*5 hits over her S3 duration. That brings her total to 33,000 damage. Degen only beats her when the enemy has over 8000 DEF. And that's before putting in Skalter and Warfarin in there. With those two Degen would need like 10,000 DEF to beat Exu. Every time the DEF rises, Degen will win. But every time a buffer/debuffer is added, Exu will win. This is immutable.

[@IrvineTheHunter]

So I made a few numbers mistakes and to prevent my numbers from becoming an edited mess I'm putting the final draft here. My first comment had an editing error, Degen hit's 6 units for an average of 4.5~ hence me rounding it out at average potential 25 x 11 swings. Mlyner is buffs or x2~ or base x10 with each of the 23 strikes hitting up to 5 enemies, hence x10, Typhon is just correct, but is divided into 10 volleys of 5 with x2 damage. Degen does x50~ over skill, 2.3x10x1.7x1.1+3.3x1.7x1.1 Plus def shred, nominal downtime means that with an SP buff like Phil her damage is increased by like 28~% vs. Exia 20%. But again even though Exi hits like 100 times due to a bug in her S3 she also has to bypass x100 the def. While degen only has a 9~x def because her shred. but again real numbers tilted to favor Apple-pie buff squad +200% attack, Degen vs Exia 250 def, x 700x100 (defense ignore perfect) 210k (Degen 90k-2.25k)x1.5 speed, is 130~ but lets put in real numbers def 500 spooky, her output is down 185k vs 127~k, even with crazy buffs shes breaking even for ST around 900 def WITH A MULTI TARGET CC unit [with a weaker buff for good measure]. But again those numbers are if your using a powerhouse for fly swatting, because unlike Exi or Typhon, Degen get the damage where it needs to go.

[@IrvineTheHunter]

@@straypaper Yes if you build your entire squad around allowing the RAW ST DPS unit to do RAW ST DPS, but her module doesn't do anything to change that. Your point is, "you want to force an old unit with an obscure niche you can." Congratulations, go watch lowly they do pot 1 level 1 clears. It doesn't make pot 1 level 1 good, it just means the game is easy enough to play in a flexible way. Edit: This has big "Sutr is broken because she's immortal with seven healers" energy. Also I did do testing and Sham stacks with Metor so all def shred should stack, making this a silly but somewhat viable way of overcoming high defs and cashing on that sweet sweet STDPS.

[@kyarumomochi5146]

@galeria_m Ash didnt change much but her stuns are a better reliable CC tool now, hence why she was used in CCB2 but her actual performance didnt change Exu module improves her floor by making her tackle more enemies with smaller buffs but the ceiling (which is her main use case) where she gets in buff armies didnt change the outcome at all. Its overall significantly better than whatever 1st module was but shes still not a better option than Narantuya not Kroos Alter so her value didnt change much.

[@bluerendar2194]

So, basically, makes her keep pace for ~2 yrs of enemy DEF inflation, and makes her cut through earlier (rerun basically) content but not *particularly* better vs new content (compared to later ops). Fair enough I guess. Not sure if worth module blocks still if ya ain't a simp.
