fast redeploy are evergreen due to their uses. Liskarm and Silence can be swapped in for other 5 or even 4 stars in their class with no real issues. plenty of maps where you want to use 2 or more fast redeploys for stalling, sniping or drawing attacks, so rocking Red and Gravel is still a viable lineup.

For newer players who haven't gotten all of the operators here, I would suggest to use the free 10 pull and do any planned pulls on the next event before using the selector tickets.

[@charlest3m443]

@@thailehuy the units you mentioned bring niche or situational team support (buffs to sp regen, def, res, etc.) as their utility, but silence has utility in being either a long range healer (anywhere the drone can go) or a high burst heal if you want to focus inside her healing range. Added to that is silence can have AOE heal with good drone positioning.

[@justawanderingoldman7699]

Silence is a pretty solid healer. She might not have any other utility, but her drones is a really good extra healer. I used her a lot on my newbie days, and using her feels like having 2 healers. BUT, all must note that healer isn't really that important when your account is strong enough. Anything that can heal will work, so a dedicated healer like Silence indeed fall shorts to other Medics (or even supporters) that have a strong side utility. My conclusion: 1. Silence is REALLY good for newbie. 2. For veteran players, she still has some use on some special condition. But overall, you will prefer Ptilopsis for the sp regen, Nightingale for heavy arts dmg stage, or even Skadi Alter as she can heal and buff your team at the same time.

Nice vid kukki! Im a very clumsy and lazy player myself so i nvr used fast redeploys in the early games, but once i tried to use them to pass CC, im feeling really surprised and have been more than willing to put them in my team since then. Btw guys, even 4 star fast redeploy specialist - gravel is super useful too. So if u really want to pick other 5 stars during this selection for reasons, u still can build gravel 1st and wait for projekt red to come later

[@mrhondo12345]

I feel like people sometimes underrate Silence's usefulness. Her drone being placeable anywhere in the map is an insane skill, and with how fast it recharges, strategies that usually require 2 medics can be done with just Silence. That's one free slot for another dps unit instead of another healer.

[@APsupportsTerrorism]

Healing just isn't very valuable in this game. - Killing faster >>> Survivability. This is a game where the best defense is more offense. - There's a lot of non-medics that can heal, or have substantial self-sustain. - Typical Defender + Medic setup loses out to stall mechanics and burst. - Fast Redeploys effectively cover all 3 of those. You take them off the board; they don't need healing. Red has stun -> stall, and provides good burst dps.

[@mrhondo12345]

@@APsupportsTerrorism You're right, but only assuming that you're talking about an advanced late game account where a player has many 6 stars to choose from. Before you reach that point, healing is still valuable. I think Silence is the best medic for early and middle game. And even late game if you don't have many good 6 stars to compensate. People always say that Warfarin is the better 5 star medic, but I think she's only better in really difficult content like cc or challenge modes where her buff is needed. In general content, Silence has more uses.

If you're a newer player (or even an older one) the correct priority list for recruitment is as follows: 1. Pramanix / Silence 2. Project Red 3. Liskarm

[@macsenpai7006]

Ironically it's the opposite. Silence is the most overrated medic in the game, her utility was never impactful mid to late game. While Pramanix is not bad she got powercrept by other debuffers like Shamare and Suzuran. Liskarm has the most unique utility among the 4. Lastly fast-redeploys are always nice to have, having more of them is always a good thing.

[@moon_child_000]

@@macsenpai7006 Actually, it's exactly as stated. ^^ Silence is (especially if you don't have Warfarin) one of the best single target medics and was for quite some time rated as S rank by gamepress confirming her excellence further. If you're a newer player with not many good healers at the beginning she's an absolute must. I guess you didn't use Pramanix much in actual battles or more complex strategies but her usefulness is amazing (for those curious, many youtube videos/showcases are available) especially when it comes to lowering RES - Shamare and Suzuran - cannot match Pramanix there - not even close. Not to mention Suzuran is a 6* so ... no idea why are you even mentioning that unit, it's really not that relevant in a 5* usefulness discussion lol ^^" Like Skalter (but ofc. not as much) she allows many other operators (not named Surtr or Thorns) to shine brightly if you wish to use them for husbando / waifu or whatever other reasons, and that is amazing. She's a supporter to the truest sense of the word. Moreover, Pramanix is one of the rare 5* that has 2 talents. And between these 4, the only one. And obviously, since Pramanix and Silence take the 1st spot, between Project Red and Liskarm, I'd have to go with Project red, I believe she can provide better options for various strategies. Liskarm's utility as unique as it may be is rarely if ever used (or that useful) nowadays to justify taking up a squad slot ^^

[@macsenpai7006]

@@moon_child_000 To be honest that's your opinion. But most people didn't see it that way, it means you are just a minority. We have discussion about this on Reddit, you can also check the tier list on gamepress it's not 100% accurate but is a good source of info (since players dislike tier lists). My point still stands, having meta operators, I learned how to utilize Liskarms ability, in fact I used her more often than regular defenders like Hoshi or Coura, she's good with Eyja, Blue Poison and can be used to charge Thorns, Blaze or Ch'en. I rarely use Pramanix coz of Shamare and Suzu, I also have Saria for arts debuff. It's just Pramanix has so many competitions and they provides more flexibility than her, she's trully powercrept. Silence was only decent in the early, but after getting Warfarin, Ptilopsis or even Whisperain you she's easily replaced, it's better to invest on low rarity medics like Susuroo who is cheaper until you get the 5-star or above rarities. Meta wise Silence and Pramanix has fallen behind, but then again we can play whatever we want and free to have opinions. The game is PvE anyways.

[@theslimeofender1990]

Funnily enough, out of all the 20+ 5 star recruitment, the only launch 5 star I haven't got is Blue Poison. Somehow managing to avoid my pulls after all this time. I'm so happy to finally complete the launch 5 stars roster

[@Vasharan]

Liskarm is the best long term investment. Her E1 talent is amazingly powerful at fast-charging SP for allies. Projekt Red is mostly good for reactive play, but her DPS is not great, and her stun becomes less valuable in late game as you get more CC options. Pramanix is overshadowed by Shamare. And probably Gnosis in the future. Silence is overshadowed by Warfarin and Ptilopsis for utility and Gavial, Warfarin and Sussuro for burst healing. Now I get that new players might be more interested in immediate short term gains, but 5-stars are expensive to promote, so you probably don't want to invest in a 5-star that falls off in late game.

[@exar44]

Of Course I'm going to pick Silence. I need 2 more pots to have my waifu maxed out!

Liskarm was my favorite unit when I was new to the game, so I would probably tell new players to get her if they didn't pull Hoshiguma. I don't have Red, though, so I don't know much about her. It's hard to choose because Pramanix is cute, but I would probably actually try to use Red. Thanks for hammering in the the whole "choose who you like" thing because I spent my 6 star ticket on Blemishine, but I got three top operator tags in two weeks only a short while later so I ended up getting a free Saria anyway, and am happily using both. Reading the pinned comment: Oh god, I forgot about the E2 promotion ticket. Well, it's not like I'll have managed to get Warfarin by then, so Red's probably the only prospective op.

It's always nice having someone who can drop in when you've underestimated the choke point and need a short pause on the action to regain control. If not Red, I'd probably go for Liskarm for the skill points. She's solid. Nice vid, my dude.

[@TF_NowWithExtraCharacters]

Agreed that Red would be an excellent pick (if you're in early stages and in a pinch, you can even use her as a DPS). I won't recommend Liskarm next though - she's fairly expensive to deploy, and if you're in early game, your units are mostly going to be around E0 or E1, and you probably do need a defender ready to tank damage properly. The 3 and 4 star defenders do their job really well, so getting Liskarm would mostly be for playing around with her talent. I'll recommend Pramanix instead - another source of Arts damage, cheap to deploy, her Weakening talent helps everyone in the team (aka you invest in her, she doesn't need to be attacking for you to gain benefits, and it's percentage-based). Her S1 attacks 2 targets and slows enemy attack speed, so she's helping everyone take less damage while helping them deal more at the same time. That's a lot of benefits all into a single 11-DP package. Plus, promoting to E1 - the only other easily available Supporter (barring Gacha luck) is Orchid and Earthspirit and both perform the same function, so there's no real competition for Supporter chips. For Liskarm she has to compete with Cuora, who's arguably among the strongest Defenders in the game, as well as medic Defenders. Silence I'd say lowest priority for completely new players. Again, expensive to deploy: but also, drones only last 10 seconds, so it's mainly good for emergency healing only. Might as well bring a Lancet 2. You use up 1 team slot but most times you can't deploy that many operators at once anyway, you might not need the full 12 roster (yes, downside is that Lancet is basically a one-use emergency healer, redeployment time too long, Silence gives you multiple emergency healing chances). But if you're few months into the game and want to play around with drones/summons etc, then Silence would be fun to use.

[@LastSnailStanding]

When the game launched I chose Silence over Pramanix because I just assumed she would show up eventually. Nearly 2 years later my Silence is max pot and not a single Pramanix :D

[@popandopulus3307]

I don't really like arts damage so much because i don't really have much casters, so i'm definitely going to take Pramanix, in my squad i have Bagpipe, Eunectes (using her is really fun), Hoshiguma, Meteor to lower the defense, Shirayuki is my source of temporary arts damage, but she still deals mostly phys dmg, and also Pinecone cause she is also really fun to use. Oh, and i'm also building Pallas to make Eunectes a beast. So all of this characters will get a crazy value out of the Pramanix' massive defense debuff. And i'm still using Kroos because she and Meteor are the only anti-air snipers i have, so i guess blue poison or platinum is my pick for the second selector kit.

[@springcan]

Aiming for a max pot Liskarm, this puts a smile on my face

[@thejuggernight1406]

fast redeploy is always the best for pot too. and I would agree with pretty much everything you said there as well.

[@Twodeegeee]

I think silence with her drone should be the highest recommendation. Low learning curve and really lets you get away with some things that you couldn't otherwise, due to the extremely high burst healing that the drone does. (On an extremely low cooldown if I may add) It's also a very good "Oh fuck" mechanism that you generally don't need to plan around. With red you generally need to plan a stage out atleast a little bit and it's just not very new player friendly. I've also had some friends that started and told me they couldn't really figure out how to use project red and just ran out of DP. I think it's very important to keep in mind that unlike us more experienced players, most newer players won't have a (built) myrtle and can't sustain a red yet. It's generally not feasable with the lower end and level vanguards. With all those things in mind my recommendation for the ticket would instead be: Silence > Liskarm > Red > Pram.

[@MiseryRG]

Silence has got me through so many hard events with her S2, I extremely recommend her if you are missing a solid medic. Mine's currently E2 lvl 40 with S2M3 (yeah i did it) and no regrets. Drone is up so fast and so often, that additional healing is sooo good. She is part of my core squad. Liskarm is an SP battery and solid defender as well with more range then any other defender on EN as of right now. Very good to have if you are missing a solid defender. She is also part of my core squad but I tend to swap her out for a bit more power if needed. If you are missing either, they are both excellent choices. Pramanix and Red are too, I just don't use them enough to truly be able to recommend them.

[@borrow4654]

Thanks for your comment. Kind of validated my thought of grabbing silence over Pramanix since i only have 4 stars medics. Now just gotta figure out if i want Warfarin or Ptilopsis

[@MiseryRG]

@@borrow4654 In my opinion; Strongly depends on your playstyle for Warfarin and Ptilopsis. Warfarin S2 is really strong, you just need to be mindful of placement of target ally and Warfarin to ensure the buff triggers on the ally you want. And this is possible at E1 already so an E2 is not required but very helpful. Ptilopsis is primarily used as an SP battery/medic. Her Talent allows passive SP recovery per second of all allies which is very useful for allies with long cooldown on abilities. at E2 the Talent is strong granting more SP per second so an E2 is recommended to get the most value out of her. Her skills don't really need masteries, just the E2 is fine for the Talent. Depending on your playstyle: - Buffing a single operator to carry (Warfarin) - Rely on several operators with abilities you wish to use (Ptilopsis) But also farming for materials for promotions. I feel like Warfarin is harder to E2 due to her required materials... AS for Silence; like I said, she is a good choice. But that's my experience since she has saved me on the harder stages during events. But don't sleep on your 4* medics. Don't know which ones you have but Sussurro S2 and Perfumer's Talent are really strong and Myrrh's Talent has saved me many times too.

[@borrow4654]

@@MiseryRG I have pretty much every 4 stars i think so im good there. Just have no 5 stars ST/AOE medics or AA snipers so these free vouchers look amazing to me. I have Liskarm but need to practice better operator positioning for her SP generation. Pramanix sounds cool but i only use slower supporter...never really touched the other archetypes. And even then Shamare seems a bit better Warfarin, Ptilopsis and Silence seem appealing to me cause i always see them being used in a bunch of strats so surely that means something. Otherwise theres always Blue Poison if picking 2 medics is a bit silly but since I've got Greythroat its not as important

[@MiseryRG]

@@borrow4654 In the end the choice is yours. There are many playstyles and thus more than 1 way to clear a stage. Essentially you can't make a wrong decision... No matter who you end up choosing, you can make it work, you'll just have to build around them. And this is one of the few games I play that has a lot characters and all are useful in their own way, even the low 1*, 2* and 3* stars.

[@dk_ion2423]

Yeah project red is solid choice for new player she Literally carry me in early game and save my back so many time and still i use for late game

[@moon_child_000]

I'd say the same for Pramanix - she allowed many of the lower tier memebers of my squad to shine brightly in various situations when I didn't have meta operators. ^^

[@edhikurniawan]

Worth mentioning project red is probably the rarest 5* out there. I've played the game like 2 years and only has one copy probably. The mention about red's talent, 'if the enemy has high defense, she ignores a portion of it'. It narratively correct but not technically works that way. She just deal 30% of her attack as minimum damage which usually 5% on regular characters. Her attack is low so it may not a big of deal, like 50ish at e2 high level. Surely helps tho. Fast attack speed can use Skalter buff to make it better.

[@koedaizumi8263]

Fun fact & Tips : AFAIK Liskarm is only defender can hit the drone / flying objects :)

[@Beep2721]

When i first started I chose project red without looking at videos because something told me to choose her over the others. It was a hard choice and I sat there for like 2 days agonizing over it since they all looked cool. Project red helped me out so much since her cost was low and I was able to keep putting her down. She got even better after her e1 then e2 and helped with boss stages to stall them and deal a chunk of damage.

[@snowleopy6378]

"Liskarm role is very unique" Yes, she is my Aak's target to charge Thorns skill Well finally after playing for 9 months, I can get Pramanix since she is the reason I play AK

[@moon_child_000]

nice ^^ you'll not be disappointed in her skills, she could have easily taken the #1 spot if research for this video was performed a little bit better.

[@jacklynn.7150]

@@moon_child_000 I still agree that Red would be the best for vets and new players since having her potentials lowers her redeployment time/ she’s just a team player whenever you need an assassin or a fast redep. As for new players though I’m not sure if Liskarm or her would be better since you do need strong defenders as well early game

[@Tomeiame]

Going for Pramanix, gonna get my waifu the pots she deserve

[@MageofFlowers-UwU]

I guess I go for Liskarm since I already have Texalter for Fast Redeploy

[@zenalias3131]

adding to to Project Red Her e2 infrastructure skill, according to gamepress calculations, is the 2nd highest clue finding speed (tie with astesia, with Chen being the highest).

[@FlexBeeCon]

i think Silence actually useful for new players because most of the time you'll trying to sustain the damage rather than dealing damage since your dps is not properly built yet and the drone definitely helped because there's no 3-star AoE medic. and the SP cost of the drone too is quite low. BUT, her use fell off in the later stage when you have other operators and other medics actually does better at later stages than Silence, like, Sussuro and warfarin. heck, you just need Saria in the late game anyway

[@xenotyphon]

Until you get Surtr :V

[@tatii_izaya]

I have the four of them with pots. So I guess I'll pick Red or Silence, both of them are really useful and I'm satisfied with my Liskarm already.

[@chonnipaw4813]

The only one of these 4 that I haven’t got yet is projekt red, so I’m pretty excite to get her!

I have been playing this game since launch, and i can finally get a guarantee manticore to get all of the original characters that you could get from the recruitment.

[@angelosgames9960]

The 1st time I played and Pick what 4 of the 5 Star Operator I want to pick, I immediately Choose Projekt Red it took me about 5 Days to actually love using her especially when she became E1. Her S2 is so good to use especially in a Swarm of Enemies.

[@samsunggalaxyj4182]

I'm newbie and I the reason why I pick Red is she has the design kinda like Red Riding Hood lol 😂 I'm simping little red riding hood don't know why. Her color palette is so nice

[@sylmayu]

As much as I wanted Red to get her pot 5, I already have Phantom as my to go raid specialist, plus Liskarm is hard to come home in my account for potentials, so this is an absolute win. Plus the other 5* selector ticket, I'm finally gonna have Specter soon as my aoe guard, time to retire Popukar.

[@afterthought3109]

No Christmas and New Year gift for this..... It's an absolute win!!

[@cowbee4631]

Finally Liskarm!! One of the few 5 stars I don't have

[@deco1747]

I just started this game less than a week ago, chose Pramanix I just can't see how she's not the best choice with her op debuff skillz and range (Currently in chapter 2-12 in the story)

[@kukkikaze]

She's just not as intuitive to use. But of course she can most certainly still be just as helpful as everyone else

[@EmEm-fm4nn]

Me, who already decided who to pick: yes hmm, very informative

[@Highs009]

I'm most likely going for Red and Silence, There are other i want but this two are the ones that will make the biggest difference for me.

[@gucci4838]

Finally I can get Warfarin and Liskarm. I really like SP charger ops since Im so bad at timing my skills between waves I always dont have skill ready when needed XD. Perfect pair too when I farm their chips.

[@anzyroadside2374]

I picked Pramanix in the first ticket when the game launched cuz she's pretty. I still remember having fun with the multi-target that she does with her S1 when I cleared the first and second Annihilation stages as a complete noob.

[@ameri7260]

*me who have all of them and playing since day one* ah yes lets watch this new player video

[@grimnya]

red was my first 5 star ever, she deserves so much love! i think i'll be picking liskarm, i feel like i could get the most use out of her! silence is so cute though, it's going to be hard to say no to her

[@TheNezperdian]

Week 1 player. I have all 4 of them. I rarely ever used debuffers (Shamare, Pramanix), even late game. I use slowers more. Early on after Gavial, I used Silence, then I got Shining and used her more, but most of the time I just bring Ptilopsis and use a healing defender as the 2nd "medic". Liskarm I rarely use her since I use an AoE guard and a healing defender for 3 blockers. If I use her it would be only for the memes sometimes. Projekt Red is the only one I sometimes keep using late game for the stuns, and it helps Ash, too.

[@rally3730]

After watching this video i chose project red then got pramanix from a pull and liskarm from recruitment

[@LukenszMk]

I have owned Nightingale and Warfarin since my first week of gameplay and I have pretty much every non welfare 5* in the game... Except for Silence. Hell, the inevitable Lappland I've wanted since the beginning finally found her way to me 2 months ago. I own a potential 6 Warfarin! And not a single Silence in sight. If I didn't have any of these Red would be a no brainer, but I really want to complete my squad :')

[@zomfgroflmao1337]

You kind of forgot one major point, and that is that potentials for fast redeploys are much more impactful than for any other class. If you are an experienced player that has all the operators and has project Red leveled, getting -DP cost on a fast redeploy is always worth it.

[@ThePhilosogamer]

I'm gonna have to flip a coin between Liskarm and Projekt Red. I already have Pramanix and Silence, but since I also have Waai Fu, Hoshiguma, and Ptilopsis I don't have significant need for the other characters' utilities either. Praying recruitment tags can make the choice for me lol

[@blackout8882]

''you need to make the game your own game'' these were words wisely spoken

[@shianmae5634]

I'm lucky when I got Projekt Red (and Silverash) from a guarantee 5* and above for the first 10 pulls, so I'm here to see who among the other three should I get Edit: btw, I started playing a few days ago, and got to promote Amiya and Jessica

[@geke7381]

finally I can get my Liskarm im so happy. I want her more than many 6 Stars

[@snofleky1338]

Silence and Specter for obvious reasons specter is a 3 block at elite 2 that has an invicibility skill in her kit while Silence is 1 medic with 2 healing methods her skill 2 can deploy aditional little healing drone anywhere on the map

[@Vipera217]

accidentally got Red and Silence back to back on feature banner... Oh well

[@InPulsiv]

I already have Projekt Red, so I guess I'll go for Liskarm since I don't need Pramanix for where I'm at in the game now, and I have Ptilopsis so I can get Silence later.

[@shield0164]

As a 1 year player I just was going to take a pramanix because I didn't have her and it is dead necessarily to kill the bosses or mini bosses easier in normal condition but I got her from recruitment recently but I'm still going to use ticket to get her pot because I really don't need silence cause my account is full of built healers and I never was a fast redeploy person so won't go after a pot for project Red. Liskarm is cool and her talent is really useful as hell so if you are new player I suggest get her even her pot is ok to have Note: there is the certain reason I recommend to don't go after project Red she is sure useful in stages and fun to uses but due to being fast redploy relaying on her too much in a single stage will have a high chance of make an error in your auto redeploy which is a crucial part of the game that is basically where you get your materials from and it will occur a lot in early game because you rapidly update your operators and every time you do it the strategy you planed and put in work for a stage will change for example: you make an operator elite 1 to use her/him skill 2 but It will rise her/him dp cost so be carful about project Red

[@hatredestiny]

I could go for pot 4 Red but I think I like a max pot Liskarm more.

[@secretscarlet8249]

I already have all four because of recruitment and because of my crappy luck in Limited banners. 😅

[@hypermalware1364]

I did not know what Liskarm's skills we're until I watched this (been playing the game for 2 or 3 months now).... I still decided to pick Projekt Red because I like her as a specialist and have been wanting to have her for a while...

[@macsenpai7006]

To be honest you can get Projekt Red from the recruitment, I got plenty of her there. Liskarm on the other hand is harder to get and is better overall base from my experience, she's also irreplaceable. Red on the other hand can be replaced by Phantom, Waiifu, Jaye, Mr. Nothing and Kafka. It's still your choice tho.

[@tometeles7192]

I choose Liskarm because I already had Red and Silence and I got Pramanix rolling for Ch'en Sniper.

[@ChaseddiHondo]

I'd say if you're a new player(welcome btw) just get any 5 star who you like, else if you want to minmax, get whose class you're currently missing: Liskarm for tank (with meme potential with that trait of hers), Silence for versatile healer (with her second skill), Projekt red for very very versatile operator that harasses enemies by stunning or assassinating, and pramanix if you want to debuff enemies(but debuffing comps are fairly endgame). That being said, If I am going to play with a new account, I'll definitely take Projekt red. She's a panic button who'll help your missions in case you screwed up. If somehow I already have Red, It might make sense to just get Silence because she's convenient and also helps to work as a panic button, but I personally like Liskarm just because she's actually my first 5 star pull (personal bias). By the way, for the other 5 star selector, I would say that Ptilopsis, Texas, Lappland, Specter, and Blue Poison are solid in their gear, though I'll recommend Specter if you intend to max any 5 star out (she doesn't fucking die, but that duration of hers extends as you upgrade her skill)

[@creakyhitsugaya1]

More than one year of playing Arknights and I have all 5 stars in the selector ticket except Red. Even as a Phantom haver he's not enough of a stun bomb and I'm glad I can just pick Red up with the ticket
