Module Madness: They Tried.

[@chargerim2426]

The mental damage incurred from Kyaa yii is still as high as ever

[@Jukantos]

I really hope this whole anime madness sticks around for the Module Madness series, i get a good chuckle out of it every time

[@NikkiTheViolist]

maybe Ceylon's module should have just crossed off the word 'water' so she got the buff when there were tiles on the map

[@TwilightPiercer]

@@Layonbedge Though I kinda agree. She gets a pretty big buff from water tiles. So if it were to get any tile, the buff should be dropped a little at least.

[@fy8798]

@@TwilightPiercer She isn't even the best medic with water tiles, so I don't see why it should be dropped. The buff amount doesn't matter, the final result does.

Even without the thumbnail guy, thumbnail's still fire

[@char1194]

Siege's talent actually procs when enemies die in the adjacent tiles. She doesn't actually have to be the one to kill them, or even land a hit on them. It's an important distinction because it makes the talent way more reliable and consistent.

[@HiImYii]

Having enemies die in the 4 adjacent tiles is still map dependent and doesn’t change much. Siege doesn’t need to kill the enemies, sure, but I don’t find myself in situations where Siege is lowering the enemies down for another operator to kill them due to vgknights’ lack of range.

[@individuo6724]

I put her in front of Blaze

[@GertHuber]

@@HiImYii I for one uses Siege when the combination of 2-blocking and tanking/damaging others, especially with 3 charges on s2.

[@metaboi488]

About having better talents meaning that you get better module upgrades, Purestream got a BRAND NEW talent with her module upgrade. So yeah, they can also just add new talents to the operators.

[@jasonfox6932]

The yii arknights cinematic universe is still going as strong as ever I see.

[@azurelionheart3244]

A possible explanation for why they're buffing skills specifically now instead of when modules were 1st released is experience/experimentation, AKA now that they know how modules are supposed to work (theoretically) they're trying something new.

[@rogerthat9230]

3:02 Words I will keep in my mind forever

[@zoramarslink5788]

Well, if anything, Siege's new module seems good for IS2. Which may not mean a whole lot, considering IS3 being around the corner.

[@user-gp8ud2bs6q]

I think the mentality for modules is make ops better at what they’re good at rather than fix problems mentality or make them metà mentality (sometimes it works out that in order to do that they need to fix problems ect. sometimes not) I think when they add stuff to a module it’s to improve the niche they’ve set for them. In the case with siege she’s good at being a lane holder/guard so that’s what they did improve her lane holding capabilities with s2, same with shining its not to revive them just make them do the thing they do better.

[@EKTOS]

​@@Layonbedge i think this will be a good idea but at the same time i dont want it to be a big balance nightmere and make everyone super buff to the point that everyone is trying to take each other niece but i dont really know how to fix this problem either maybe make everyone have new talent in module but thats harder and make make it even more messy than plain old number buff

[@KuroeNezumi]

​@@EKTOS I mean, with the way they're going, the least of my worries is design balanced in favor of the player, which they very much vouch against of in every chance they get: either you waste more time and resources for barely getting anything from old players with a big roster who want to play with specific ops that are old (by giving them underwhelming or barely decent mods), or you boost newer operators to hell and back so new players can use their resources getting their new toys up to their best and also make old players use their resources to make usually overperforming units get even MORE busted. The fact new operators are coming with mods already to either fix or finish busting them up is an extremely frustrating precedent that I detest with all my heart, because it means mods aren't to help older units keep up or perform comparatively well in their niche, is to push you into whatever the hell they feel like incentivising you to pull.

[@EKTOS]

@@KuroeNezumi well who knows what they are thinking i started playing last year so i still dont have so much experience on ak but game design/ game balancing is really hard to do(hottake i think hg is pretty balance and have good design too specially when its a gacha game comparedto lets say blue archive) and this come with my 6 years of experience of lol and other competitive game crap that i been playing now if i use those lens and compared what they are doing rn imma agree with author and first comment which is most of the modules they make is kinda experimental and the modules that is op like gladia and mosti is made by chance it feel like they are really unsure how to make module and how much the module is supposed to improve/increase the ops overall and some module like angie or cyl was intended to be weak for some reason idk why but that how i feel if i look it in that lens either way for me if imma make the module i dont think is any better but maybe make all classes module will have a class talent while all the lvl 2 and 3 will buff not only stats but also unique talent of that ops by 20% to 25% as long as every talent will only get buff my the same % for their unique talent but like i said before idk how to fix this issue and now that im typing this essay imma say they are kinda doing this but at the same time they doing it so bad

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

​@@Layonbedge i think that would be a good idea, but only after every operator in the game has at least 1 module. I understand design is difficult, but with the amount of double mod classes there currently are when people like sentinel defenders don't even have 1 is a little irritating, so getting them there mods before "fixing" particularly underperforming ones would be a good precedent.

[@silverdededestruction2197]

I personally find shining's module tobbe a really good upgrade. Her downside ofc is her defense buff not scaling well with most content due to arts res being much more better, but I find the defense buffs really good when you know you're fighting an enemy who specializes in physical, so her 3rd skill works wonders against such enemies that nearly 1shot your dps guards

[@tortoise-chan]

they really looked at shining and were like " i think she would be better if she was more like Nightmare"

[@marcuswaterson]

Tbh Shining's first module sounds better to me, the DEF buffs are nice. S3 already has 60s duration and 120s CD, mod 2 drops it to 75s CD but still, the rotation takes ages (same problem as Roza's S2). Also kinda funny that the mod that buffs her attack speed talent actually gives a smaller buff than the other mod (mod 2 gives 15 ATKSPD total, mod 1 gives 17 ATKSPD (10 from talent 2, 7 from mod) total).

[@fandoaow]

This module actually made my normal team much stronger, surpassing flagpipe for my comfort pick. Caveat i use zima s1, which isn't sp locked, and always benefits from the +1 SP, and good automatic DP generation. I find this start much safer, (you can easily defend 2 lanes with it), less micro internsive (you don't have use any skills) and cheaper with similar dp generation (zima reduces 2 dp for each pioneer vanguard, making my siege cost 7 DP, and generating 3 sp each spin+ Zima's S1). It changed my early game.

[@Xiol02]

Of course Siege's module is the best, she is the only 6*vanguard afterall 🙃

[@adamantiux9750]

I am pretty happy with Shining, even without taking any of her mods into account. She is always useful when it comes to tanking bosses, and just slapping Hoshi isn't enough. I used her in H10-3 and DV-EX-8 recently, both complicated stages on their own right. For a year 1 operator, this counts as great performance in my book.

[@nad4243]

I used to bring shining on my runs but raising lumen single handedly kills all of my other raised medics. Even if they give sanity damage he can just woke up them up or he heals so quickly the defense reduction stuff doesn't matter most of the time.

[@ErebosSpiral]

I like how we are over a year and a half into the introduction of modules and we are finding whole NEW problems with them. What a masterclass in game design huh ?

[@DylanoRevs]

I think your thumbnail guy needs a module of his own to continue

[@cydia2020]

That Great Days reference at 5:00 got me good 😂

[@yurakravchenko8960]

Ah yes, best anime of all times.

[@PlatinumKrown]

Shinings new mod does what I wanted mods to do the entire time, skill buffs. The amount of operators who could benefit from buffing their underpowered skills is immense. Not to say that talent buffs aren't useful, but they should do mod x for talents and mod y for skills or even do mod z for operators who have both already but need a skill buff. Think blemishine s3 but able to heal herself or something like that (I'm still too new to think of others, but I'm sure there are a lot). Also, the skits are great.

[@danielalbertomartinmartin4743]

Siege alter is gonna be the 6* crusher and she is gonna be broken with a huge damage mitigation passive just because

[@sol2296]

Siege alter will buff vg Siege!!!

[@Nightmare_52]

i will be using siege even more after this and that isnt even physically possible because i use her in every stage

[@thundercat4648]

Weeb Yii hit harder than Surtr S3.

[@jchristclark]

Maybe I'm biased due to Shining being my first 6*, but she's still pretty decent regarding tanking bosses and heavy hitting enemies, the new module will probably be great for people that aren't chasing records or speedruns anyway, especially in longer levels, either with slow bosses, or tons of enemies (This also applies to annihilation stages). At the same time, I know that's just copium. I just want Shining to be good. T_T

[@abrahamwijaya6631]

Siege do a spin s2 Siege: arigatou, zeppelin! Tusk act4!!

[@GertHuber]

Thank you Yii for always having your very educational videos! Mods seems for me the endgame upgrade and more like a e3, e4, e5 of an operator for all their cost, not even talking about that one is 'mod-blocked' to update all of them. On the other hand, Hoshi finally got an module, nice that her damage gets upped, 4 BLOCKS and higher dodge of all damage.... however I for one would have loved to get her above 4k Health to survive one shot boss skills at least one time. Gah mods... again awesome streaming and always watching you!

[@drmajalis1583]

The way I see it, if Reed went the path of: 1. Exists 2. Gets massively overshadowed by other members of their archetype, including lower rarity ops 3. Get a really underwhelming module that does little to nothing to make them relevant 4. End up with a really cool and powerful alter that makes you forget what they did to the prime version I don't see why Siege and Shining can't also follow the same path!

[@Khroniclas]

Both have them are setup to get alters eventually with Shining being in the same boat as Saria and Gavial, and Siege being an heir to Victoria's throne. There is a good chance their alters will be more meta than their original versions, purely because their current versions are so dated.

[@kennybeoulve]

So- Guard Siege and Defender Shining?

[@kikixchannel]

Overpowered Guard Siege that generates DP with her third skill when?! That being said, Shining isn't bad. She's just too focused on being a healer that boosts defense in a game where powerful healing and blocking aren't very effective. She IS the best one for that job available, hands down (alright, Lumen on third skill has higher raw healing than off-skill Shining, but without prevention that Shining offers). It's just that her specialty simply isn't needed. But I do want to see her lore-wise badass side anyway.

[@Khroniclas]

@@kennybeoulve I'm assuming Shining would be the guard since she is allegedly godly with her blade, but became a pacifist after some point. No clue what type of archetype Siege would have.

[@SimplyNexy]

[@blindtreeman8052]

Calling it now. Rosmontis module changes based on skill and on S3 it becomes unlimited range

[@whiteflash27]

I actually can't wait for and am praying Ros' module is gonna be game changing for her. Something as broken if not more than Gladia's. Global range on blocked ops actually sounds insane and if even it doesnt change her damage, that niche would make her so much more viable.

[@blindtreeman8052]

@@whiteflash27 I honestly just want it since it solves s3's problem of her dropping a tower at the edge of her range and making it so she can't actually hit what it's blocking

[@whiteflash27]

@@blindtreeman8052 Yeah I know! It's really frustrating to use. But I think a possible global range opens up a lot of possibilities... For eg. Activating Ros S3 from a safe tile and using fast-redeploys to block enemies so Ros can 'snipe' them! Or even deploying an immortal like Surtr/ Specter against a boss to tank deadly damage and Ros snipes from a safe distance.

oh yeah i cant wait surtr to have her s3 specifically buffed by module. like double the damage i guess

[@AquaticIdealist]

Siege second module seems pretty decent, though I tend to use her for openers so the "gain SP on kill" talent is more noticeable then. Honestly the Shining second module seems really cool, but I get how it doesn't help Shining stand out from other medics. The thing is, what would? Shining S2 buffs HP alongside def and, honestly, HP buffs helped my puny brain a lot when the cannon of CC10 came careening down on us. Risk 19 was manageable with Matterhorn buffing his own HP lol, and I'll probably build Tuye to cope more with this HP buff gimmick. But yeah I don't see how Shining would truly be fixed. Is module 1 seen as especially impactful? Doesn't seem to be...

[@kikixchannel]

Have more enemies that need to be blocked and deal good physical damage (ideally, good and FAST physical damage) and Shining will actually be useful. She's great at her role. It's just that her role isn't needed if you can melt mostly anything with ranged operators before it could get to the box. And what you need some more time with is so sporadic that Specter or her alter with their invincibility skills, Blaze or Surtr with their emergency survival-extension talent or the likes of Nian with shields on deployment are enough. We're talking about a game where a friggin Vanguard (Backpipe) can solo average elite and still wipe the floor with regular enemies throughout the entire map with healing from a single passive source (Perfumer's talent, Bards healing, Angelina's part-time job) due to her raw damage output and deceptively good defense. Why need heal if your enemies disappear before they can do any damage?
