Operator Hindsight: Shu Analysis

[@DragonGJY]

Fix: 7:45 S1M3 will have 3 stacks max instead of 2 shown in the video, identical to all the First Aid skills 15:47 As of Aug 8th, 2024 in CN, you can no longer teleport the Gardener boss in Hortus De Escapismo due to a patched in teleport immune. But that's just one of the many bosses you can cheat on, and isn't a major impact on Shu

[@Huanka-c8w]

I think you also forgot to mention that her S2 giving her an extra block counts as "pros" which is the only type of skill among the guardians that does this

[@DragonGJY]

@@Huanka-c8w It's true, but also something that I found is not very significant in gameplay

[@Huanka-c8w]

​@@DragonGJY Yeah, the only usage of her 4 block over the alternative options i can think of is against Kristen, since Shu is better at tanking arts damage

[@adamtaurus7013]

​@@DragonGJYwait, how abt zuole analysis 😢?

[@delvadog]

Whenever DragonGJY uploads my rl and in game sanity gets restored

[@farellaksmann8659]

You know Dragon is the 🐐 when the top 2 comments doesn't have pfps

[@seafood_hater]

DragonGJY is Sui confirmed

[@nier3072]

You're so underrated ngl, easily the best Arknights analyst content creator. Your content is actually so good, I don't even know what we do to deserve these.

[@reyzharpratamaheriansyah1706]

7:43 typo on Shu Skill 1 M3, it should be 3 charges

[@nootnoot1537]

Coming across manhattan distance inside a niche gacha game analysis gave me whiplash, felt like a freshman all over again😂 Great work as always

[@mintyichigo5153]

it humbled me lmao and i love it

[@chaschas]

thanks for your effort on these! i just started binging them and look forward to each new one. please make sure to take breaks and rest if you need to. we don't want you to burn out!

[@slonik0002]

And there we go, Walter at a perfect 10/10. But yay, Ascalon buffs! Ambusher supremacy! And no need to push yourself, I understand wanting to get videos out on time but it’s important to take care of yourself first.

[@LuximosTG]

Back at it again with the underrated top shelf analysis. Keep it up, I love these.

[@foozlesprite]

Started the game for Chongyue last year and saved up to spark Ling this year. Managed to max Shu's potential on the way to the spark, and while it was already my goal to eventually get all the Sui siblings, that certainly incentivizes me to hang in for another year so I can pick up the next one and complete that 4-Sui buff, haha.

[@dalgona4819]

Damn that's amazing. I didn't start aiming for Sui siblings until Ling, so I hope to spark Nian and Dusk someday

[@papara31]

Thanks!

[@DragonGJY]

Thank you for your support!

[@tehepicduckeh1409]

these videos are so ridiculously good, goddamn props for all you do

[@RealityMasterRogue]

I really appreciate the way you present information, its easy to understand without sacrificing depth

[@johanesbpermadi2016]

simply the best go-to operator review

[@breadloafing170]

Really appreciate all the effort you take in creating these hindsight videos. Thanks for the analysis!

[@Ckan0079]

The breakdown on uses in higher-end and future content is very helpful. Thanks, DGJY!

[@caduceatus]

tysm for all guides you do, always clear and detail and also really cool to have a recap of incomming new unit and your advice about priority have a nice day

[@darkrealmlight92]

Finally, your Shu review is here! Yay!

[@dokidokidango1896]

Nice and concise video with really useful info, looking forward to more ^^

[@MichalZink]

Another team where Shu is amazing are Abyssal Hunters, not that they really need more stats but further damage reduction and all other bonuses (which among other things results in Gladiia reaching 4k HP) is always useful.

[@yspear_]

another beautifully made video, good job Dragon!

[@KrazyBean14]

Yay! Been waiting for this! I managed to get her and I think she's fantastic.

[@AlvonEinzbern]

Thank you for the video, great analysis as always.

[@gummiken3338]

the order in the video is easy to follow and it's well-explained, thank you for the analysis! the part about her use in RA felt most useful to me

[@Speednut1]

another fantastic high quality analysis. Keep up the great work

[@lynca9530]

your operator hindsight is a really good analysis fr

[@shezarr3456]

Cheers for the upload!! Your contribution to the community is immense!

[@IamTheWulfen]

Let's go Shu review!

[@ClowReedx]

Chongyue is finally S+ tier with her and his mod

[@Chrisbun1]

Can I ask why you think this?

[@Vadikus2424]

​@@Chrisbun1 Shu's talent really helps him charge his S3 faster and when it's already 5x, he only needs to attack 2 times to proc his S3. He can even solo lanehold at the start cause of that 15% dodge (at least in my experience)

[@yuomovaeh3028]

Does he get even better if you add in Ch'en? Do the abilities stack?

[@ClowReedx]

@@Chrisbun1 He was always A+ to S-, Now he can ramp up fast and proc every 0.3-0.5s with Shu and Ch'en/Stainless + His mod 3 and deletes waves because he is true AoE (no limit) and can manage 3 lanes at the same time because he has long range cross combat.. Also Shu buffs a ton of ASPD

[@ClowReedx]

@@yuomovaeh3028 Yes I always use him with Ch'en for the 1 sp and 3 guards requirement. If you want to go even further Stainless or Warfarin

[@GH-ue5xk]

Great analysis as always!

[@manymustfall]

As always, good shit bro.

[@fuwasatoshi5076]

thx as always for the video

[@RandomName327]

Thanks for the great video. Makes me even happier that I was able to get her as my first six star on the banner.

[@XiRiith]

Take care of yourself first! Thx for your hard work.

[@mr.clevertrick8710]

Its nice to see the thoughts of others on operators I wont pull lol. At least I can learn.

[@nikinki]

thank you for another great video!

[@seirei_m]

"welcome to the ricefield" nice

[@VenRyu2255]

Quality content as always

[@mothmage9121]

I took a long break from Arknights (burnout) but came back since I love the Sui siblings & I got extremely lucky & pulled Shu early. This video really helped me understand her S3 more clearly. I also appreciated all the clips & pictures included as well. Thanks!

[@Khroniclas]

Awwwww yeah the good stuff is back. Dragon is the goat.

[@anman1]

Thank you Mr. Dragon❤

[@frs6099]

MY GOAT UPLOADEDDD

[@ranielle9271]

Thanks as always for the analysis! Man that M3 is still ridiculous to me when I first saw it back then. Ascalon getting higher is a nice surprise but not for my funds 😅. I was dead set to skip her but now it's wavering.

[@shirayuki_1713]

Thank you for your work!

[@Hel1mutt]

Im most excited to see her in defender knights, my Horn is very excited for the increased attack spd!

[@Gavin-N]

Awesome!

[@Dr.GojoKun]

Let's be honest our bro is cooking in every single video 😎

[@Kettchup090885]

[@evil-jelly]

gosh looking at banner schedule, next 6 months gonna be wild T-T

[@YJoker]

Very lucky that i got her, can't wait to play with her tp shenanigans!

[@qurt5101]

Now that pulling priority is no longer a main topic, could you just put future 6* welfares into the preview list / rating scores too? It feels weird seeing them having to be placed outside of the main roster for being welfare despite them still being 6*

[@fikripajarullah]

[@AliciaShakurei]

WELCOME TO THE RICEFIELD MADAFAKAA

[@shin4ko131]

Will you do zuo le hindsight too? Your videos are always so informative and helpful

[@EsLokina]

Im not getting any other sui family members but i got shu. She and Hoshiguma are my perfect wall

[@gummiken3338]

2:41 (about setting up enmity heal) morgan s2 is someone with dependable instant hp loss that i can think of, tho someone w fast redeploy / low cost / cost return would be nicer (regardless lov u morgan) also aak (and archetype) for ranged maybe aak/warfarin for damaging anyone tho in the end, maybe just easiest to bait n heal whoever convenient and then switch out to enmity lol. just thinking out loud...

[@rokirastafara4619]

While i listening carefully, this 14:35 caught my guard 😅

[@Mutualititve]

So far the best thing I have noticed for Shu 4 Sui talent is that it would be extremely good for reduced deployment tags in CC, which open up alot of opportunities for team making with 4 Sui team being actually pretty viable despite 4 of 5 Sui being pretty below average in CC. After learning Shu kit, now I need to relearn Sui siblings base skills to see if they can outperform my Abyssal hunters and Pinus knight cycle.

[@zuirenn]

in regards to Talent 2, so I can bring Abyssal Hunters + Sui Siblings 3 Guards: Skadi, Ulpianus, Chongyue 3+ Classes: Guards, Sniper (Andreanna), Caster (Dusk), Specialists, Defenders and make my AH team very chonky with both AH buffs and Sui buffs, yes?

[@marcgutierrez5470]

Excited for Zuo Le Operator Hindsight. Because I didn't get Shu. :(

[@Keyoke200]

Nian is still a very solid defender, it feels like only the 4th one is a bit of a stretch, though ling can sometimes be nice too.

[@galuhdesuka7378]

Another reason to build her is her l2d art which is so beautiful

[@Eusthasia]

Nice review as always, i actually max mod y saria not long before shu got announced in cn ... and i know that i fucked up my resource since shu will be better pick even if i want to mainly use her for S1 tahn using saria (just for the shelter and regen) 😅

[@absolutelypallets7378]

Saria is nice just because her atk/def/sp talent combo, like with the stat mod, she has close to 1k attack and defense, 70 regen is BUSTED, but in hard core content the extra few hundred defense and SP battery could come in clutch, it's easier to add healers than fix your defender.

[@Eusthasia]

@@absolutelypallets7378 i like using afk when i can, and tbh tanky def defender is easily covered by pure defender, while arts damage is rather a hassle since ng s2 is not as busted as s3 when preventing art damage so shu 15% shelter can help with it. And when she got damage red module which will stack with her 10% shelter she will be as tanky as well when i dont need the pure defender role. But yeah i also like saria just that i prib shouldnt mod5 her just coz i thought they are rather slow at releasing utiltiy ops like guardian...

[@Mars-pw4iw]

WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELD

[@monodefender4176]

Thanks for your work, I was struggling about pulling for Shu because Ela is coming soon and I just got Saria. After watching this, I may skip Shu. I don't have any other Dragon siblings anyway, and getting them is expensive.

[@oturan9728]

Shu doesn't need the sui siblings talent to work, it's more of a bonus.

[@naru2k4]

I didn't realise from skill desc that she didn't need a target to heal holy

[@Vadikus2424]

From talking about frame datas in Arknights to talking about MANHATTAN DISTANCE IN ARKNIGHTS?? THIS MF

[@AdamLutfy]

Well, that numbers bring more to the picture, i think shu is better than saria at adding value to the table, but saria is better at support deleting enemy at S3 Thanks for vidio tho, looking forward for ur next review

[@Eusthasia]

Saria s3 is only for art damage amp, while shu being atk and aspd affect both phys and arts. And surprise" our most broken ops in the game is physical

[@Lakeses]

​@@Eusthasiaisn't arts damage better in hard content because of how the arts damage formula works ?

[@Eusthasia]

@@Lakeses depend on the enemies since high res enemies exist, hard content can be like d15 is like is3 which sucks for art damage, and is5 which have sarkaz enemies who naturally have high res

[@frauflaw100edibleorganicco9]

​@@Lakeses most high end content have enemies with around 60- 70 res so arts is also not that good

[@kaim7443]

​@@Eusthasia 1. Art res is percentage based, so lets say if you get a broken Arts dps, they'll still suffer like a 70%-80% damage reduction from a boss with high res 2. Physical res is a flat value, lets say its a 6000, so if you have a high dps character who reaches like 10k, they'll still be dealing 4k damage per skill (hypothetical numbers for the sake of understanding) 3. We simply have FAR more non-arts meta dps than arts dps 4. Shu s3 combines buffs in the sense that its both atk AND aspd, which scales multiplicatively 5. Shu's buffs affect bards, healers, literally EVERYONE, even supports, the same cant be said for saria 6. Shu's buffs are just one part of her s3, her s3 also has a deranged amount of heals and provides true crowd control

[@foolfirefly8695]

Imo Saria still has an edge over Shu with her SP bonus recovery talent when healing (with at least module lv 2). With it Saria's S2 is really good as support for situations when she's continously healing (like blood mist maps). If only Rhine Labs faction has a DPS Operator with HP loss condition... (Ifrit Alter when?) Also somehow among Guardians I think Saria's S2 is still easier to benefit from relics in IS, even when they avoid adding relics buffing the archetype. Shu's siblings bonus talent is almost impossible in IS (need 4 6-stars), but maybe easy in SSS? Which comp is Shu exceptional good for in IS, and which relics should we go for with her in team?

[@Vadikus2424]

No need to use Saria for SP battery when you have 4 Sui siblings

[@yuurina5092]

I was expected to see Wisadel at 10 on high end content too. She was carrying all IS content wich is high end content afterall

[@hpl4096]

i spent 299 pulls and got a pot 6 zuo le, forgot the date the event ended, and was one pull away from a data contract buy

[@natsuki1016]

3:35 Shu's buff & sui siblings for moral support + AH team = CRACK (need to deploy SHU & CHONGYUE though) 😂😂😂

[@Gojiradogzillagodzilla]

I'm glad that Shu loves me as much as i love her, i already got 2 of her in 2 daily free pulls lmao

[@sirloin6856]

I'll come back after I get her

[@Malachamavet]

One thing you didn't mention that I think is notable is her S2 gives her 4 block which otherwise doesn't exist in Guardians

[@Axterix13]

@@Kyuma-wm6qr But since her S3 would just teleport anything break her past her back, I don't see it really changing the priority.

[@eugen5100]

15:00 yoooooooo 😂

[@saku8718]

Please make more content like this. Maybe ling or saga

[@darkusandtoast2207]

Ayyyy

[@nexpersonal5066]

It's a crime how much Nian is underated it's rare that you need 2 defenders, but when you do Nian is straight up the best one if the damage numbers aren't to such an insane amount that you actually need to RNG grind Hoshi's dodges

[@Qyoh3]

Gotta thank my math teach to understand the math on this vid

[@Axterix13]

Suggestion: For the "Future Preview" bit, it'd be helpful if the name of the name of the operator were shown, in addition to their icon. And their class icon (and maybe archetype within the class) wouldn't be bad to show either.

[@Rezter]

Glad i got her below 100 pulls

[@namensklauer]

9:19 i dont think the "almost" is needed there. Nearl is already a replacement for almost any situation. never failed me in any afk clear where i had to substitue saria s1, for example risk 600 poo, or the max difficulty TN stage with mudrock manfred and steamknight.

so, uh, Shu S3 doesn't make her stop attacking. It's not a "full-time healer" skill. She will continue to attack, and her attacks will also heal. If there is nobody to attack, she will still heal

I'm pretty sure that he never said anything about Shu can't attack while using S3
