NEW SUPPORT S RANK AKARI MAYBE BUILT FOR THOMAS & GUNHEE! [Solo Leveling: Arise]

[@PayneBlade]

Remember, the early info CAN change based on what the devs decide to do. For right now, Akari looks like she will be the best buffer for top tier units. SMH. Puts a wrench in the original plan!

[@Sincerity1993]

Damn and I got Thomas To A9. Saving resources now, planned to skip Akari

[@PayneBlade]

@@Sincerity1993 grats on A9! 16 days to see what the devs do

[@David-rz9dt]

Same at A9 f2p. Flat broke with crystals. What's the optimal plan moving forward? A10 via black tickets? Thomas will be out via normal banners? Or national hunters are a separate category? Skipped multi banners like Charlotte for thomas to get max value to account

[@Mute_Gamer01]

Hey payne can you make a video how to get more assens stone because after all the story complete I don't know how can i farm them please make a new video for this topic please @payneblade

[@David-rz9dt]

Try the new Stimulation i mean simulation modes. Tonnes of crystals there. See his video on finishing level 15. Am stuck level 11 with the hack. Maybe they nerf it. Story, hard, reverse, dailies, pre-reg jeju. Await creator codes, daily freebies, missions challenges. All farmed out, broke broke. I smell the horizon of pay2win but sticking to f2p

[@lukerunderthebed2611]

I remember some info about the filo player that you mentioned his Lim , Min , Choi on A10 and a10 weapons and a10 Chicken Joy (vulcans rage) and A10 Scythe. All artifacts are curse. That guy got the BT maxed out. All armory level maxed out, all shadows maxed promoted.

[@dimitriosd2083]

Apart from her being a fitting support for Go and Thomas, we re also close to Goto and him being a different element makes it worth saving a bit for him too.

[@anonymous_entity_00]

I'll get my Gunhee to A5 on his banner and might push Akari to A5 to make Thomas unstoppable. I'm only getting my hunters to A10 from the custom banner.

[@dofa2000]

For people who have A5 Min and A5 Thomas, you might be better off skipping her and push for A10 Min and Thomas. Because TP is everything, once your tp is over requirement, all dungeons become walk in the park. That extra damage is not needed, plus Min already provide tons of crit and crit dmg. And Min is easy to get.

[@secret_angel8942]

I have a0 min and a6 Thomas

[@xDbrad]

@@secret_angel8942 Same situation lol A0 min A7 Thomas

[@дигл_лайв]

That's a very bad advice. Min is one of the worst supports for hunters right now because he has very weak ascensions and no buffs to light damage. He is very universal, but also far from the best for any role except as a support for SJW. My guess is that she is gonna be as must have for Andre as Hansemi was for Mirei and Meilin for Alicia. Ain't no way you're rocking your A5 Min with Alicia instead of even A1 Meilin, and for the same reasons I believe she will be massively stronger then Min for the light team.

[@TopKekGun]

@@дигл_лайв That's just plain wrong. Min is literally the best universal support right now outside of teamfight modes. With A5 weapon he provides 28% universal dmg boost, 12%(passive)+12%(ult) critrate, 12% passive cdmg, another 15% dmg boost from E, and flat 40% of his CDMG which just like crit chance % bonuses is additive, not multiplicative. So with 200% CDMG Min and 200% CDMG hunter they end up at 280% CDMG total. All that at just A1. If we compare to A5 Meilin, she gives 48% atk/def, 16% critrate, 16% dmg from A5 weapon, and 48% core attack boost. Unless the buffed unit relies a lot on core attacks, A1 Min is straight up better than A5 Meilin. Also yeah, for Alicia I would still probably use A5 Min instead of A1 Meilin since there is a lot of value in 100% critrate for her. The only place where Min is not so great is team fight modes like POD.

[@dofa2000]

@@TopKekGun Exactly. @дигл_лайв learn his kit. Min is a great support. Like I said, if you already have A5+ Min, just focus on pushing TP. Once your tp is over req, all new content becomes easy. No need to roll for every new character.

Friendly reminder that Payne's is a content creator that needs to be stronger than the average f2p player. You (F2p and low spenders) don't need to copy everything he does and enjoy the game and take things slowly if you don't wanna go bankrupt and lose interest in the game.

[@neoinfinity5204]

Kinda sad four stars are abandoned as fillers for early players but it’s inevitable with so many powerful characters already available on custom banner

[@Lex_9]

Who would have seen that coming... i think a1-a5 give around 4k cp while a5+ is 3k. So would you like a10 thomas with a0 supp or a5 thomas with a5 supp (a complete kit character)....is a breaindead choice

[@PayneBlade]

u won't have 0 support tho lmao. u have gunhee who is a massive support for his light dmg and crit dmg. U are just adding an extra support but min exists, isla does and many other support that can still fit the team.

[@Lex_9]

@PayneBlade they do exist, but it doesn't mean they will be the optimal choice (just as min/meilin doesn't synergies with mirei). You reasoned a10 thomas because of future hard content, which most likely won't be "just throw a random 3rd character here" type of thing, so you would need optimal teams to beat it. (Btw "orange hair"= ginger, you can ask zaff to keep you up with the terms old man 🤣🤣)

[@Theshow06b]

@@Lex_9 unfortunately Doesn't really matter to much if the new support synergizes more. I think the point is an A10 thomas, whatever GO you have and just the next highest Power character you have will just perform better. Major flaw in the game imo that should get some attention from the devs.

[@notfables]

So glad I got lucky and a10'd thomas day one with what I saved. Now I'll be able to save for the next couple weeks for at least one or two copies of the new unit.

[@umakantapradhan1427]

She will be light support for thomas pretty sure. We got han for mirei. Melin for alicia and gina for yoo. And isla for Charlotte now we need hikari for thomas.

[@vivian1104]

I personally feel like Focusing on getting older team like gunhee min thomas to a5 or pushing past it would be better rather than investing on a newer character and min is already such a universal hunter. Also next wobl will be light weakness anyway since that's how its always been. Alicia skadi vulcan water wind, Mirei dkd baran wind dark, Thomas wukong staff dark light

[@georgemathew4692]

I already have my min to A7 so do i actually need another supporter for light ? I am thinking of skipping Akari and save for Goto

[@дигл_лайв]

You do if you want to prioritize light team. Min is not really a light support, he doesn't buff light damage in any way for example. He is a general support and great for SJW, but otherwise is very weak compared to all other supports.

Payne recommended going for A10 so I did. Made sense to me since I only use characters I like the gameplay of. Ive been pretty much skipping every banner till Thomas cause of that reason. Ive been using the ticket summons for the rest and freebies. I had like 250 tickets and 207k gems going in his banner came out with 95k. Btw Im f2p. So for this next character Ill just wait and see.

A F2P summoning for A10 is never a good idea. It's a Gucha game, so power creep will happen and eventually, I will get them to A10 with black tickets anyway. For me having one DPS, Support, and Breaker for every element will be a priority before committing to any A10.

[@PayneBlade]

A10 is not that bad as ur combat power matters a lot. Think of it as sjw support. Ur combat power will be more with a power crept unit at a10 than a new unit as a5. That's the logic behind it
