Account Progression in Arknights | Arkpedia Ep 3

[@kukkikaze]

This video took 1 month to research, plan, film, edit, correct, proofread, and finetune. My editor and I sincerely hope you'll enjoy your time watching this~

[@ansoncjm]

Thanks for the video, this will definitely help me and my friends to enjoy playing Arknights. 👍👍

[@kjriwoutube]

It's a great video very well researched

[@dominicalvin]

Literally the best arknights channel today Even tho I alr lv120 I still enjoyed this guide for lower lvl players

[@Mr_Rhodey]

Guides for new Doktahs is always a welcome treat. Appreciate all the time and effort Kukki. Cheers.

[@-thepatriot-9719]

Indeed my friend and Cheers Mr. Rhodey!!

[@Nian.Bean69]

Another tip: when you visit the support unit menu, all the ops that are displayed are owned by high level players(100-120). I recommend adding a lot of them even though you won't use their units just yet, It'll come in handy later when you can then borrow some e2 units

[@animeyahallo3887]

New Doctors are very lucky to have this video that would greatly help them in planning what they would do in their account for the first few weeks to few months.

[@-thepatriot-9719]

Indeed my friend!!!

[@-thepatriot-9719]

Its interesting that i played this game for about almost 3 years now yet im on lvl 103, dang i must be really slow on leveling up. Anyway great video once again kukki!!!

[@Where_would_I_go_without_you]

Heh don't feel bad, I've been playing for almost the same length of time but I only just hit level 101

[@Vindicee]

Don't sweat it man. Play the game at your own pace

[@sirastrix1559]

Hey man im still 98 playing since lunch

[@EWind]

Well, I'm playing starts at May 2020 and went hiatus for 6 months, no wonder I'm still Level 98 lmao

[@briantmiranda9786]

Same men, I play the game when it was released 3 or 2 months ago, so I been play for 2 years or close to 3, and just today I turned 93, I must say I'm slow. But most of the time im just trying to build silverash and Ansel a perfect harem team. Edit: I already have my main team, is just the potential, Master skill, and the module, that I need for my main team. Only vigna and firewatch are max out to its fullest potential. The rest is either that the module hasn't come out for them or the skill is hard to get the material, or to get their token.

[@MiseryRG]

I've got 3 great tips for new players from personal experience: Best tip I can give; the game becomes more fun to play the longer you stick with it. Unlocking more ops gives you more options on how to tackle the stages and over time you start to see strategies you didn't think were possible. Second tip; the AK community is one of the best communities I've ever been part of. Loads of content creators like Kukki here who has a great understanding of the game and always offers great insight into everything AK related. Helpful vids like this one, funny vids, stage guides, operator showcases, helpful comment sections on YT vids, greatly build wiki and other tools (Aceship toolbox for AK) to help new and veteran players. Third tip; everything this game offers in a limited time window comes back eventually. There is no real FOMO here. If you missed an operator or furniture piece or skin during a banner or a shop or stage clear, it comes back eventually. So if like me you have an OCD about incomplete collections; don't worry, this game has great devs!

[@megugao]

except collab events lmao

[@MiseryRG]

@@megugao Yeah, except that... That's why I don't really like collab events.

[@jastintimbol7385]

Im level 36 and have just been playing for under two weeks. These guides have really helped me to understand arknights more, and have prevented me from making mistakes that new players make. Your guides have truly made my arknights experience a whole lot better.

I've been playing for around a year but We're really fortunate we have someone like Kukki making these detailed yet simple guides. He really understands the spirit of having fun as well.

The best help for this game is a fat weed toke.....😅

[@snowleopy6378]

I've reached level 65 within a month of playing, that's probably the effect of me spending most of my OPs to grind 4-4 a lot when trying to E2M3 my silverash ASAP

[@ArkeusWolf]

Unless you spend money on the game, I wouldn't recommend spending OP on sanity refreshes, I've done it in the past, but only during an event and I never spent more than 7 or so, and even then, I could feel the hit to my reserves, so I quit. Granted, early on in the game, it's not as big of a deal, since you can speed through the early Chapters, and since Chapters give so much OP, you can replenish your stock pretty quickly. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, just be aware that OP is a rather prized commodity, since it's used for pulls and skins as well as sanity refreshes.

[@SeaweedAK]

[@tetrahedrongod]

ahh I'm also on the grind to e2 my SilverAsh as my first e2

[@S4mMurai]

"play the game the way you want, it's about your journey" is just so rarely seen in gacha games, like, new players kinda need to get used to it, its one of the thing that make me appreciate Arknights and HG a ton

Btw, LS-6 and CE-6 isn’t available in global servers currently. They will arrive during Stultifera Navis event.

[@AlexanderXion]

Its 25+ minutes video with sooooo much data and details. Really appreciated the progress to make this video. Your dedication to the community is beyond insane. Thank for your hardwork Kukkikaze!! Edit : I will recommend this series everytime i encounter new players

[@sjin5475]

That last tip though, very timely for me. I've been playing for less than a month when Break The Ice event was introduced, so now instead of farming to raise my average squad level, I'm now putting everything into E2ing one of my ops just so I can borrow elite 2 support units for to defeat Degenbrecher in BI-8. Got mw feeling a lil bit guilty ignoring my other ops for a while though, so Kukki saying to drop everything and focus on the event validated my rushed decision lmao

[@LazarusTheGeek]

This is my favourite portion of your contents. I appreciate how invested you are in helping players get better at the game rather than just giving them the solution to a problem. You are emblematic of "teach a player to fish" and I absolutely love it.

[@siddhanthbhattacharyya4206]

as someone who started like 1.5 months ago this guide is so good and pretty easy to understand. good job!

[@brackenentum]

Just turned lvl 90 and I must say your level/time chart is on point. Been at least twice a day for almost a year.

[@notkeysersoze442]

It's exactly 3months since I started this game and my account is currently at lvl65. I'm now entering "Mid-game" and I realized something. I'm currently experiencing the "meme" that I've been seeing every now and then in the community and that is ROCK FARMING! I can't wait to get all of the resources I need to e2 my Magallan just so I can farm at 1-7 much simpler and faster. lol

[@ajkanver9301]

Ironically, I personally think that this episode should be the first one that new players should watch first bfore the 1st and 2nd episode lmao Anyway, nice one as usual Kukki.

[@sogin8373]

Been playing for around 3 months. Early game has been a bit messy since I was going around doing everything everywhere all at once. Just hit Lv.65 but there's still plenty to unpack so this guide is very much appreciated. Definitely learned my lesson to put max effort in long events.

[@dalgona4819]

I've been playing AK for more than a year, but I still look forward to these videos of yours.

[@SeyfertCh]

Being a day 1 player, this video was still a treat :) In some ways, it let me reminisce on the early days of AK. Thanks for putting up such a high quality piece of work, I'm sure it'll help newbies when they join (esp with Invitation to Wine coming up)!

[@yoyoflow09]

as a new player this video has been a godsend! Making the experience so much easier thanks a bunch

[@wenthusiasts2470]

1 months late,and haven't watched the other guides, and i played for 1 months now and already level 72, yeah i know i like playing rough but since i played a lot of resource management games i did pretty well, and now after watching this i am now confident that i can probably help others, thnx Kikku

[@JR-eo8cy]

The granularity of this video is amazing. This would have helped so much when I was starting out. You're making the new player experience better, awesome work. :)

[@byird7459]

This is so nostalgic, looking back at how much easier some stuff could've been if I had not neglected some of the features the game offers Great video overall! Nothing says a clearer guide than showing progression

[@byeguyssry]

Really long overdue, but as a new player, I find that I benefitted a lot from trying out and learning all the meta operators from friend support, as well as a few roles that my team lacks, which helped me a lot in clearing stages. I decided at the end of Chapter 6 not to use supports for story, but it's still amazing to know how to use them in events and Integrated Strategies. In fact, I basically always use a borrowed Ling for IS. The operators I'd specifically recommend are: Ling, Chen Alter, Mlynar, (maybe SilverAsh? I already have him so idk), Eyjafjalla, Passenger (especially for Annihilation), Mountain (second skill), Mudrock (second skill). Ling is... Ling, if you have no good units, don't worry, Ling replaces your lousiest 6 with really good units. Mountain and Mudrock are good lane holders that are really easy to use. Passenger is great when you want to take down mobs in multiple lanes, because his Skill can hit enemies outside of his attack range The rest are insane at nuking. Multiple times. For a very long time (except Eyja). Niche but VERY good at their niche: Saga (when you get rushed down at the very start but also need SP), Phantom (for assassinations), Mudrock (skill 3, for massasinations), Lappland (for the exploding slugs), Pozemka (usually, other casters mentioned above, or Chen Alter, is better, but the Typewriter she gives you is potentially invaluable) Specific to game modes: Gnosis is a god-send for SSS. Kal'tsit is nice for IS to beat the first ending via her True damage, which the boss can't dodge, though I still find Ling to be better (especially alongside Deployment Limit increase). Elysium or Saileach on Skill 1 (hard to find people putting them on Skill 1 though) if you still haven't gotten good vanguards, in Annihlation.

Really great video uncle! Very informative! New doctors sure are lucky~

[@misbahul9044]

i got so much information from your video in this series, really help a lot, also probably the currency talk in beginner video is the best out of it. i guess me reaching level 60 in 22 days of plays is kinda prematured lol, but i do burn more than 40 OP to farm and clear stage, the game is fun nonetheless, new chapter new enemies new mechanic to learn, the training help to get the basic mechanic, tips on loading screen also really helpful. starting above chapter 4, i always use the drill plan and some of those stage on chapter 5 and 6 are pure nasty, passing chap 6 boss with so much brain damage (lost all 30 drill plan in 2 days no matter what i bring lmao), got tips from friend to either kill her with strong sniper or just borrow ling and stall. and the dragon lady do the job. now im on 7-4, almost lost 30 drill, maybe ill try borrowing silverash later on. and yes, other than that since its harder to level up beyond lvl 40 so no free sanity refill :(, the IS does help to cure my boredom waiting the sanity recharge again, and its lot of fun ! (until floor 4 it is lol) , it also give lot of nice reward for early game

Watching cuz despite being on 4 of the story, lvl 57 and having E2 Goldenglow I still can't survive any, IS, CC nor Annihilation 3. Wondering if I should finish the story first or grind some lmb, battle records and materials to boost some operators? I think I relied on those Low Level 3* Clear guides too much.

[@spctrdemara96]

Thank you kukki for the guides! Just played Arknights literally December last year and I think I've made pretty good progress. I just E2'ed Kaltsit and Thorns, they make high chapter stage '6-10' less annoying, just Exu left to be E2 :). Though I only have those 3 meta 6* stars op at level 57, I should save some the golden certificate to buy some helpful 6* like SA / Mountain when they appears at the shop.

[@wollyram6248]

This series of videos is going to be very useful, I'm planning on starting a new account, as my current one is two years old.

[@arkabreu9522]

Will there ever be a story & lore focused Arkpedia episode(s)? I know it isn't your forte, but considering the Anime is coming, I expect that is a topic many newcomers (and even old players) will get interested in around then. Things like, where to start or skip if the Anime does them better, the different free canon manga that Hypergryph put out (and sadly few know about, like Blacksteel's or Records of Origium with Rhine Labs). Or perhaps that would be better as a collaborative "something else" with other creators? Anyways, thanks for another great episode of your series! I have been recommending to many new players!

[@sw4gsmile595]

Im level 76 and i just finished all of the side story and main story This show that you dont need to be a max level player to beat everything all you just need is a -chalter- very big brain

[@Mizufluffy]

My player level is already 120 and I still haven't cleared CE-6 or LS-6 even though it is recommended at 18:58. Additionally I'm absolutely sure I wasn't within level 40 - 50 when I started clearing Ch.9. However, I'm curious why you are recommending clearing chapter 9 so early? If I recall correctly the game gives an option to read a recap of the main events of the previous eight chapters when you start chapter 9 so isn't there a risk that new players may have especially the later chapters spoiled for themselves if they go to chapter 9 and don't realize that?

[@Shunsatsu]

the 2 new materials can only be found in ch9 stages (as of now) and some of the newer operators require them for promotion or to level up their skills, so if newer players want to level them up to use them, they will be forced to clear ch6-8 before starting ch9 which isn't ideal if they need it immediately.

[@sethketa]

I recall hearing that you should get some more 6* after playing for a while. How exactly does that tend to happen? Right now I'm still new and joined basically at the start of SN, and my account level is already 35. While I am not specifically focusing on 6*s, I'm just curious how a F2P player is expected to get them.

[@thestranger0347]

I can't exactly give you the math, but for general pool or solo rate-up character, you get like 50% chance to get the rate-up but you lose that quite a few times. It's a quite different case with standard headhunt because they split the 6* rate-up with 2 characters (25% chance for each rate-up 6*) and 3 5* rate-up making it one of the worst types of banners to pull on. The good part is that the pity can be carried over another solo rate-up banner or another standard headhunting. Limited banner gives you 2 rate-up 6* (35% chances for each) and 1 5*, and usually they also include another past limited 6* that correspond to the limited event theme (for further details look on gamepress or arknights fandom wiki) but with lower chances than main rate-up. It's not really about you being F2P or not, I do think that RNG is the one that is going to screw you over, for anyone who pay certain currencies on the game are having more resources that they can spend on (e.g. buying monthly card for more orundum and sanity packs to gain more exp to level up your account), RNG is still the biggest factor for most of the gacha games. Hypergryph are pretty generous when giving free pulls for players whenever limited banners occurs.

I kinda wanted to get into this game since launch but couldn't do it multiple times due to different factors. So I've been downloading it when some cool events were on just to have a nice evening and then uninstalling. And now, when I finally have time to play it more frequently and enjoy it on a daily basis I have basically a fresh account with some limited ops as a gift. The only problem is that I have overcapped sanity at ~1089 and every time I log in it cracks me up just thinking about how long it will take to spend it all

What I love playing Arknights is only yourself is to blame if you failed a stage. Giving you somehow motivation to grind and level-up the Operators you need. You can't blame the support units because you're the one who deploy it on the battlefield. It's a matter of Operator knowledge so you can finish the stage. 😁
