Operators When They Got Power Creeped

Thorns generally gets replaced by Typhon these days. "Bow goes ploink-ploink!" As an AFKnights type of player, heck, Exusiai sees more use than him, though typically not as a boss killer. Still, the short of it, he hasn't powercrept a sniper. He's been powercrept by one.

And then Wis'adel arrives and ALL other Snipers are now useless... ...except Ambriel, because she the ONE thing Wis'adel doesn't have : global range. Ambriel secretely best Sniper in Arknights.

[@Dodo-mc2vm]

Wait we don't have another operator that can do a global range ? Ah yes, Pozëmka is just "you have 2 snipers in one" with one (weaker ?) Schwarz operator with the pseudo-fast-redeploy module and another copy of Schwarz And Schwarz has a pseudo-fast-redeploy niche, shared with the Pozëmka's typewriter

[@drucy.]

@@Dodo-mc2vm Pozemka needs a ranged tile to place her Typewriter and it has a limited Puller-like range. Meaning Pozy, as strong as she is, doesn't have true complete map control as she's entirely dependant on map layout. Schwarz essentially is a stronger (and operator) version of her Typewriter. Ambriel has no such weakness. As long as there's even just ONE ranged tile, you can deploy her there and have her attack anywhere on the map. So yes, "lowly" little 4* Ambriel is the only Sniper to not have been made completely useless by the existence of Wis'adel.

[@KakosLykosZero]

And just as she tells all that to Ela.... W alter is coming 😂😂😂

[@zodkip3147]

Exusiai still has a chance for a comeback though because she works so well with damage buffs and they are becoming more common with new ops and new gimmicks to stages. She was my saving grace through the story stages, so I will never give up hope on her! I'm even starting to use her again because I realized some of my older ops make the game more fun.

[@daniela4738]

She's been consistently good and still broken with buff army against bosses so there isn't really a "comeback" to be had. She's still as good as she was on release, good at blitzing low defense trash mobs and aerial targets or a top tier boss killer with buff army. For reference, with optimized buff army she can kill 4 150k HP golems in one skill rotation. That's 600,000 damage. That's already way overkill for most bosses. Because of the way the damage formula works, you only need to debuff defense + raise her attack high enough and with her attack speed she shreds pretty much everyone. No one else in the game benefits from buffs more than she does.

[@blegh277]

@@daniela4738 doesnt ela with her mines and mod3 benefit extremely well by doing 1.7x damage after buffs to enemies hit with mines?

[@alcion8423]

@@daniela4738 I'd argue Chongyue scales harder as he also scales extra from attack speed and SP generation, not just attack, but exu still has better coverage.

Technically people still use ash more due to her flash bang ability being more of a general use than exia always giving it to myrtle

[@ainuruyaqeen1977]

pair Ash and Texalter for more dps then~

[@govinlock8568]

The problem with Ash compared to Exu is her total damage is limited with her ammo, which means less damage potential especially with ASPD buff. Exu's buff problem can be negated by bringing DPS only operator if not necessary to bring other types. I used to use Ash more but the ammo limit and no ATK buff without stun, she got turned few months later into second marksman unit below Exu in my roster. In conclusion, Ash is like sidegrade of Exu which fills the niche that the later can't filled.

[@anhnguyenhoang210]

@@govinlock8568 Problem is, marksman + buff army strat fell off meta HARD with the arrival of nuke launchers like Ch'en, Pedomka, Typhon... who deal more total dmg with higher dps and stronger dmg per hit than Exia without the need for buffers.

​@ainuruyaqeen1977 not only has ash kinda taken her place, she also stole her girl Texas.

[@gteraid7285]

Ppl use Exsusia more. Ash is meh, Ash is limited by the stun duration, without stun her damage is garbage. Back in the day, there were just a few cases ppl favoured Ash over Exusia, noticeably 1 CC (the cc with a bunch of crocodile dudes and the invisible sniper) and when dealing with the UFO drone. But when Exusia module dropped, Exusia can do it on her own with much better consistency. Even now, AFK strat and buff army, Exusia is still one of the top choices. Yeah, Exusia might not be in meta, but her place in casual content is still there, while Ash is nowhere to be found.

[@kaienkazami6348]

Exia handles the flying bullshit and does it by herself, my second 6* and still has a lot of use on my teams Sure there are stronger or "press skill to nuke" ops but Exia is consistent dps
