Operator Hindsight: Executor the Ex Foedere Analysis

Join my Discord server to discuss in-depth about CN Arknights, also known as "what-is-to-come-in-Global"!
Link: discord.gg/JuhY9fSwCk
This is a brand new series I'm trying out to give an retrospective analysis on an operator based on CN players' perception on them over the 6 months since their release on CN.

[@draaxus2969]

I really like this format, especially the performance over the next 6 months. Reminds me of the good old days when Dreamy was the go to for extremely in-depth Operator overviews.

[@shyamakpal]

I loved the format too!

[@doktahsnotes3436]

Imagine thinking Dreamy made extremely in depth reviews only because she was vomiting majority of the video a lot of numbers based in unrealistic scenarios that won't become reality when playing the game. The best part was her using a lot of footage of the operator she was "reviewing" being buffed by warfa and/or aak to make the operator do things that they couldn't do alone being hella misleading for newcomers that were watching the video. Dreamy is a joke...Yii said it himself. A bunch of numbers doesn't make a review in depth. In this video you have an actual in depth review... don't insult him comparing it to Dreamy lol

[@draaxus2969]

@@doktahsnotes3436 Mmm leave it to the internet to project their opinions and twist a complement into an insult

[@RivalEdogawa]

After Yii quit making Arknights videos, I hope you continue making this Operator Hindsight series.

[@miffedmeff7302]

Yii was always a meme/comedy Arknights content creator and was never truly information-heavy. I was sad when I learnt that he's moving on from AK, but I'm glad that other content creators who had an excellent history of dealing with informational topics are taking up the mantle.

[@nahimanaraoul5349]

​@@miffedmeff7302Yeah his ways of explaining operator skills in short and understandable way plus comedy skit was so funny Overall I am happy he found something else to go for

[@neonayse8803]

A very informative and clean analysis of FedEx! Hoping to see more of other operators in the future

[@rainzerdesu]

Looking forward to more of these! Also, RIP to everyone's wallets and pulls for this upcoming string of OP operators

[@gaoaibai6243]

String? Bro what are you on about? Every single OP released for the next 6 months is either very average or outright gimmicky FedEX is only good with extensive investment for a lv 3 module, Typhon is Rosa 2.0 but Rosa deals more damage IIRC while Eyja Alter is COMPLETELY skippable as long as you have built a decent Lumen/Berry op. Even Virtuosa is kinda mid tbh she needs a certain comp to work and elemental damage is whatever. The rest of them are outright TRASH you can skip straight up to Rainbow 6 rerun tbh.

[@slonik0002]

@@gaoaibai6243Can’t say I fully agree with you there, but Degen also exists. Nevertheless I do agree it’s not as bad as it was with Mlynar/Reed2/Taxes/Ya2 all so close to each other.

[@Vadikus2424]

Eyja and Jesse broke that string

[@asyrafshaari5459]

​​​@@gaoaibai6243Typhon and Virtuosa is definitely not just average. Typhon has 2 impressive skills for different situations. Her s3 has way higher total damage for all def enemies compared to rosa, has global range and have ammo mechanics+auto sp recovery which makes it a great boss killer skill. She also has s2 which is an impressive afk skills with relatively high dph which can be used as laneholding. Virtuosa does not need a specific team comp to work since since she can build necrosis elemental damage up very well by herself and her necrosis damage is good even without other teammates to capatalize it( as of currectly cause no enemies has ele res for now) Don't know about ejya alter though since I haven't keep up that much info with her

[@Shadow6OO]

​@@gaoaibai6243Man, what are your standards for strong units, dude? Exalter (w/ module) becomes a ground Chalter. Typhon has both a very hard-hitting boss-killer skill (that pullsboff way more dps than post-module Rosa on either of her skills) and a hard-hitting and stun applying infinite skill. Eyjalter has insane gloabal healing. Swire and Jessica are an exception. Hoed gets a 70 second long skill with 50 sp cost that does big damage. You are full of shit about Virtuosa, currently (since no elemental resistance yet) she destroys most non-boss enemies with S3 in a massive range or with fast application with S2 + an ally, and still deals pretty good damage to those bosses as well. Viviana is an exception, and Lessing is a non-Gladiia welfare. And finally Degenbrecher is absolutely busted. It's not a complete string, but majority of the units are actually strong. Also, why the need for R6 rerun? Ash is pretty good, but not that good, especially in comparison to most of these other ones.

[@neonayse8803]

He actually brings out his second shotgun on his talent 1? I thought he just attacks twice in a row

[@nataloserlover]

its been so long since i saw an in depth video for an operator (cause op showcase is generally enough to me) but i feel like this video is actually high value for new and veteran players alike. keep up the good work! hope we get to see more in the future

[@FateShape]

I can confidently say that your presentation method is the cleanest and professional amongst all AK influencers. Love what you're doing sir!

[@LaxazGaming]

Now that's what i call detailed analysis. 👍 Very informative, useful and interesting to watch. Instead of just read skill description and show it, you actually explain how it works, with some not obvious tricks and practical usage. Damn good 💪 Especially overall operator analysis and final conclusion. Keep up, you've done really massive job here, i will wait for more guides like this.

[@giahuytran720]

4:31 11:17 Ok that was insightful af, I didn’t expect that kind of information at all lol, good analysis

[@oo-xk5dc]

Your analysis with the cleannn looking visual data are great! I'll make sure to watch this series before pulling from now on!

[@ashscar8878]

Great job on the first video of this series! I've always been a fan of your module analysis videos and I'm glad to see more of your analysis style for upcoming operators. Besides the clear and concise analysis of ExAlt's stats and abilities, I also appreciate how in-depth you go on his gameplay performance and how he functions in certain scenarios. I always love analysis videos like these, so I'm definitely looking forward to more of your coverage of other future operators.

[@thatkidfox]

I would love to see more of these break downs, love this format, clear and informative

[@stupidpeoples1]

I hope this series can continue, along with the Module series too, thank you

I’m looking forward to this! Really loving the format.

[@XiRiith]

My new favorite serie! Very clear and very informative. A big thank you for your hard work!

[@zacharysiow5478]

omg thanks for the video! haven't seen this in-depth analysis in a while, look forward for future content.

[@GH-ue5xk]

Really appreciate these high quality analysis videos, keep them up!

[@Erika-Bella]

This is really great content, thank you! Your module analyses are some of the best Arknights content out there in my opinion, and this is just as good. Very clear, well structured, amazing presentation and actual data/testing to back up claims. I hope you continue the series 😊

[@greengriffin3508]

This video was absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to see future Operator Hindsight’s!!!

[@chefaris2021]

I like this format of operator analysis. Keep it up!

Hell yeah, that was an awesome video! So much useful info and the presentation of everything was very nicely put. Fantastic job, I'm really looking forward to future entries.

[@raffyluvmiharu]

Well this is new, kinda liking this new series of video you are cooking. For one, it is quite imformative and second, I like how you add your own insight about Exalter. Must have taken you a while to make and release this. Keep it up man Edit: Would be nice If you add more visual reference to somehow show the damage number you are showing in the chart section.

[@okNerdRage]

Very clean and informative. Please keep doing this series! Thank you!

[@icemaster1204]

thanks for the detailed analysis. I like your format and it gives me great info for this operator

[@EggyEggtoast]

This is very cool, I've been peeking at your vids for references for a while now, but this tipped me over to subbing. Looking forward to more!

Thank you. I enjoy this format and will continue to look out for your future content.

[@lozyl956]

Very informative and concise as always!!!

[@Bunnyglump]

I like the format, the details are clean, and very well designed. On another note, the ratings for pull priority at the end is amazing, much appreciated as someone who doesn't actively follow the best units from CN meta.

[@Noobboi99]

Your guide is amazing bro, so detailed and the design is very pleasant to see, I love it. Keep up the good work!

[@farellaksmann8659]

Hella informative. I love these kinda analysis

[@Kokinkun]

I'm loving this format, it looks clean and easy to read and understand. Your use of color coding has been amazing throughout your analysis videos. I especially appreciate the Weakness and Hindsight sections since Global is so used to only seeing highlights that we forget to look for the drawbacks. The only feedback I was going to give was having the impact rating scale out of 10 but you already have it covered. Great work! I'm still torn on rolling for Fedex or not, but might just do the guaranteed 5* and move on to Eyjaberry + Typhon banners since they are so close.

[@kinkane1976]

This type of video is extremely useful for making decisions! Thank you for the quality content🙏 Would have loved a timestamp /section indicators on the video, but that’s just QoL I use Arene often and will be pulling for Virtuosa, so I’m happy FedEx will at least get to use his talent without me having to force a team😂

[@Wampi.]

Insane format, keep doing it, great videos reference

[@colorx6030]

Ohh, this is really interesting. This seems a pretty nice replacement for Dreamy's and Yii's operator reviews.

[@gemore]

This is fantastic. It looks like it was a lot of work for you but its really apprecieted!

[@squid3432]

Very good video. Having examples of how he performs with and without module was very informative too, since that was a point of discussion for some people that were on the fence if they should roll or not.

[@stevegoudreau7973]

Great format. The most important part to me and one that should be in every video from a global player standpoint is upcoming events, stages, is, sss, etc that the operator can excel in.

[@mjkuhnke]

I like your videos quite a lot. Keep talking! it's easier than reading Been playing long enough to generally know what i want but nice to see in depth stuff in case i miss something. Have a feeling he would end up like la pluma in my roster... Super awesome at stuff i never needed him for to begin with and actual really hard content just rolls over him Sticking with my plan of Typhon, jessica, and the limiteds.

[@user-mg4rc1qw6w]

wish devs stopped crippling every single operator I like with my sworn nemesis - offensive recovery :/ love the small tips from the video btw, like the ways to notice the double hit or the delay trick, you should include more of those

[@xSpiraL]

very informative thank you for making this

[@animalpetdrakenstar6598]

I was having some difficult deciding how far I should go on masteries for Executor (s3 is a must but I was wondering about the other two). Ty for this new series, it will come in handy

[@simplythecat4068]

This kind of series sounds really good on paper, keep going!

[@stevanustrionanda6397]

This format is really good, it's packed with highlights of what the operators do, their kits, strengths, weaknesses, and how they function for regular and high-end content. Anyway keep on making this, I miss this kinda content because Yii doesn't make these anymore.

[@Hafizaprilia]

Nice vid, thanks

[@LarKLast]

Awesome series 😊. Really informative. I am only set on Arturia, Eyjaberry and Typhon. Between ExecAlter, Hoederer and JessicaAlter I plan to pull for only one. It seems it will be or ExecAlter or JessicatAlter. Thank you again.

there's a part of me that wishes Executor would get a module that would take advantage of Virtuosa's elemental damage shtick

[@shouter0086]

I just wanted to point out that both your thumbnail and video look aesthetically pleasing. I was convinced to pull for him ever since he was announced, so your thumbnail alone brought me here :)

[@niceshotd9130]

Great video as always. Btw can you do IS4 guide like you did with IS3?

[@brokencrayonAK]

Amazing analysis

[@secretscarlet8249]

Very nice. Clean visuals as well! Though if you’re doing numbers, perhaps it helps if you graph them. For example the red and blue bars at the end were helpful in visually comparing the ops’ usefulness; you can do the same with the various forms of damage, pre-skill, during skill, without talent, triggering talent, etc. I also like you included visual and auditory examples when their talents get triggered. It’s a minute detail but it helps when you’re micromanaging.

ikr? we will likely get Eyja alter event after this Exalter (Dec 21) and we will get Typhon + IS4 by February

Since FedEx will be released on the 21st, that means his event will ends on 4th January. AND if our anniversary is actually on 5th January, that means we'll get his module right away lmao. FedExers winning so hard

You seriously need more people checking out your content its always really good

Very good video. Looking forward to more! I've also been noticing a trend with limited banners lately were the non limited ends up being mediocre (Ho'olheyak, Swire Alt, Viviana), so its getting annoying figuring out what banner to go 300 pulls on. I just want a limited banner were both ops are good (like Texas Alt and Chongyue banners)...

[@n-dawwg2570]

Looking forward to a video like this for Typhon, especially including discussion on how she performs in IS4, since I heard she's really good there.

[@AwesomenessWilliam]

Awesome video

[@slonik0002]

Love the analysis and also the visual style, they were great for your modules but I’m very impressed you managed to keep your style for such a long video. Some feedback would be that I really really like how you cover the niche intricacies of his kit - like how his S2 dodge works, how easy future events let him charge his skill up, and even cancelling his S3 slightly faster. I also really like the brief overview of future ops. My main and just about only complaint would be the impact section - it wasn’t clear what you rated it out of at first, so I wasn’t sure if it was 5/5 or 5/10 - maybe having a slightly faded bar filling up the remaining space with 10 at the end would be more clear at a glance. A minor complaint would be for the look ahead for future ops - some ops don’t have weaknesses listed, and whether that’s because they have no weaknesses or just something you didn’t cover for a brief look ahead was unclear. Stuff like Jess2 getting a 2 for general content yet 7 for advanced can seem quite strange to those who think she’d have no weakness. Maybe you could somehow distinguish between no weakness and ones you just haven’t covered yet?
