[@michaelwright248]

She is a must-pull for me. I have Inanna and Acambe, along with Dantalion, Nergal and Nungal so I can do both faction teams. Plus I just love her design and character.

[@AnoriandGD]

Oh yeah, she's a LOCK for an account like that. You just gotta go all in.

[@AnoriandGD]

Are you one of the many who will be pulling for Saffiyah? Have you been saving for her? Is she the crown jewel you've been waiting for? PLEASE let me know!

[@ostravashackle7154]

I'm skipping saffiyah. More interested in auguste homa and taiir.

[@fatmasterblaster]

going for 2 copies

[@cretino7058]

437 summons & Up🎉🎉🎉

@@ostravashackle7154Auguste is a lot more replaceable than saff, he’s going to fall off hard later. She has great utility and will have much longer usefulness.

[@LêĐoànBáLong]

I'm waiting for Auguste but I will definitely throw some pulls for saffiyah. Proly 50 max! Currently have 140pulls hope I can get her under 40s

[@andu9801]

Isn't Shadowless Blade unlimited dodge for 1 turn ? Or it got nerfed in global version ?

[@AnoriandGD]

Apparently it is and I was mistaken and I didn't test it enough to verify, but that also doesn't change my opinion on which skill to use tbh.

[@negiy0410]

Great watch thanks!

[@AnoriandGD]

Absolutely, thank you for watching! :D

[@davida.c.4765]

Doesn’t the dodge last for the entire turn?

[@AnoriandGD]

It lasts for the turn OR until you get attacked. It's not stacked Dodge. Technically it COULD restack if someone hits you again without killing you I believe, but her health and defenses are low enough that if she's in Dying state, anything is gonna kill her.

[@Julian-fs2rh]

@@AnoriandGD Shadowless Blade is unlimited dodge for 1 round on CN server. So unless there's typo/mistranslation, then it got nerfed.

[@gamerf2p843]

They nerfed here??? ​@@Julian-fs2rh

[@davida.c.4765]

@@Julian-fs2rh Yes if it works like this, Shadowless blade is a must

[@alexw4482]

I think you might be undervaluing weapon eroder. Most of her damage is coming from her trait and her 30% execute trigger; it gives her a safe ranged option to deal damage and trigger all her secondary effects.

[@AnoriandGD]

Now, to be clear, I think Weapon Eroder is a good ability! I just think it's the worse of the two, personally speaking. That said, I wouldn't knock anyone who thinks it's the superior option or who Castalia's for it. It's a useful skill!

[@JMike-bq6rl]

At the end of the day, we only get 3 skill slots, to use. And the Lvl55 mats are expensive too.

[@mooseclamps]

finally!

[@JMike-bq6rl]

I only have 3 of four star hanged men. Do I have to build them to Lvl55 to gain full value of her kit? Can Saffiyah work as a Stand Alone unit, with my usual Gloria, Beryl and Rawiyah team? I have only been using Crimson Falcon for Seeker, but not being able to hit Weapon trial bosses' backs are kinda rough. And if she doesnt "crit" or kill...she dies, coz she is stranded wiithin the enemy territory.

[@AnoriandGD]

Saffiyah will absolutely still work as a general Seeker unit in your lineup, that's why I ranked her so high in general. She's still very strong and does her job well. She just won't be AS strong as she could be.

[@MonMon-rv8ji]

Im pulling her.. I like your suikoden i miss that game :)

[@AnoriandGD]

I can't WAIT for the Remasters to drop in March.

[@gilpauloabracia]

Must pull! I need to start doing my SOD though, also still at ch 7 in fools journey, i hope i can get more luxites. Also i love that Suikoden 2 poster! Cant wait for the remasters next year. Suikoden 2 is one of my most favorite and memorable jrpg from the ps1 way back highschool.

[@zerowrathstorm3341]

i've been saving for so much time that i have exactly190 pulls... this schedule was weird AF

[@AnoriandGD]

Looks like it worked out perfect though!

[@Edge3586]

What would you guys do build wise on Nungal to synergize with her? I want to use sense of purpose to take advantage of the H.M. Mark but you have to sacrifice either sniping stance, quick reload or deadly aim. Deadly aim seems a must, sniping stance is great, and quick reload lets you use deadly aim a lot more and faster. Only thing I can think of is Inanna to get rid of quick reload and still be able to spam it a bit but I don’t have her.

[@manyblock4192]

Nungal is like core dps, Saffi is making other HM become better Also marking is Nergal job as he easily AOE scan enemy

[@Edge3586]

Yeah, I just don’t see any room to include the talent, I mentioned on Nungal without sacrificing something important. Nungal can do great dps one way or another, but for her to benefit from H.M. mark she has to sacrifice something else important.

[@arhesia7725]

Hi ! I'm quite new to the game and I don't understand why she'll be better with Iria units. Could you explain me please ? I got it's something about the mark, but I don't get why Iria will benefit more than others

[@AnoriandGD]

So it's twofold. One, several Iria units have benefits either tied to having debuffs on the enemy (Like Dantalions aura giving a damage buff against enemies with 3 debuffs) and Hanged Mens Mark counts towards that or even more of them SPECIFICALLY get bonuses to damage or bonus effects if HMM is on an enemy, so she will absolutely pump that up. Beyond that, however, every group has someone with a "Leadership Aura", a skill that boosts units of that type. Generally when building a team, you'll want units that synergize in that regard. For Iria, as I said, the Aura is held by Dantalion and in addition to a boost to Attack and Defense, he gives all Iria units a boost to damage against enemies when 3 or more debuffs, and debuffs are something a lot of Iria units excel at giving out.

[@arhesia7725]

@@AnoriandGD Oh ok, I got it ! Thanks for the answer

[@AnoriandGD]

No problem! For reference, that's why I'm not going for Saffiyah myself. The main units I've pulled and gotten synergy for have been for the Papal States and Knights Union factions, and while Saffiyah would still be good I don't have any of the great units that synergize with her other than Inanna so I'd be way inefficient compared to getting someone like Caris or Auguste down the line.

[@arhesia7725]

@@AnoriandGD I’m starting to understand it’s not just using T0 units but having a coherent team actually.

[@JohnSmith-fx2mz]

Yeah I could see skipping her if you arent going Iria/ hanged man and have x other seeker. But me I have everybody but The Iria defenders. Hoping to get her early so I can circle back to the Magnus banner.

[@AnoriandGD]

Makes sense, especially since Magnus is an excellent damage dealer even as a Defender!

[@lpn6530]

She’s incredible all by herself. Don’t need aura or other HM units to shine.

[@elijahlee9379]

I will get her. I know Auguste is a great DPS but I don't like him as the lore made it so. Is he replaceable with any units later in the game?

[@AnoriandGD]

Every character is replaceable, but if you're looking specifically for a top tier Breaker, Homa is going to be your go to in terms of being an excellent Breaker who will remain relevant for a while.

[@nguyentranminhthoi8962]

Later there a DPS name Tristan but she is a Destroyer.

[@elpyroholic]

Found you on Twitter. Happy to be here. :] She seems to be Dantalion's lover. I will pull for romance. And power 😂 Even though Dantalion issa bad dood, he redeemed himself.

[@AnoriandGD]

Dantalion is the worst but also... His attacks DO look cool, tbh. Gotta admit that jerk has style lol

[@filipnedelkovski1026]

I will pull for her. Just a piece of advice: when you are rating the new debut characters, consider how useful they will be in the new Tower mode. The Tower of Diversity plays a big part, and if you don't have a certain unit, it will be extremely difficult to replace them. I think Saffiyah is one of those units.

[@AnoriandGD]

I get your argument, but I'm gonna (respectfully) disagree, mainly in that even with Tower I think things like synergy are still gonna play a huge role. Saffiyah is rated so highly because she still operates well independently, but with proper team holding and synergy she CAN be replaced, and I'm not gonna tell anyone they won't be able to overcome challenges because, say, they wanna focus on a Knights Union team, that's why my grades are focused on what you're building for. Her general grade being so high, however, is my way of saying "If you even remotely think she's cool and worth it, pull for her because she's awesome and is useful in a number of scenarios", but my main issue is Tower depends on other variables like the other units you actually have access to, which is why going based off the unit types you're pulling and need makes more sense.

[@Xeqcme]

I need her...for my Nungal!

[@AnoriandGD]

Those two are a match made in damage Heaven.

[@amirhosseinhezarjaribi6258]

I have Dantalion but I will skip her because I want Auguste, and as for personal preference I really like Taair and I will pull for him in the future, honestly I had such a bad luck in this game so I'm not gonna gamble on pulls, only 22k gems left for me. so for now my goal is Auguste and Taair, I may want Homa or Caris in the future idk I'm confused a bit XD

[@nguyentranminhthoi8962]

Caris need 5* to function well so if you try get her she will cost 1 of your Shards Farm slot for 3 month.

[@amirhosseinhezarjaribi6258]

@@nguyentranminhthoi8962 is she good or not? I don't have Beryl I need a powerful mage

[@nguyentranminhthoi8962]

@@amirhosseinhezarjaribi6258 i not sure how good Caris is but she sure very powerful AoE, her big downside is she need stack something needed for her Skill and that more easier to stack at 5*

[@AnoriandGD]

To be fair, with many of the high end characters if you're F2P you're gonna need to invest your shard farming slot. As someone else going for Caris, though, I don't see the issue with the decision.

[@LadyYunalesca]

Skipping Saffiyah is weird behavior but go off EoS coming soon anyway half the playerbase bailed

[@AnoriandGD]

I mean it's not weird at all. I'm not built for Iria at ALL and don't have any of the other major units, which makes her less useful. Just because I'm an official creator doesn't mean I'm gonna pull for everyone. If anything, I think I'm MORE incentivized to pull for the units I want rather than what's popular BECAUSE I'm an official creator so I can show my genuine thoughts and feelings regarding the game.

[@chinito77]

Keep dreaming if you think EoS is coming soon for global.
