I'm gonna pull for Ines for sure. I was gonna go 300 pulls to spark W on the Lone trails banner, but after the CN reveal of viviana and Arturia, I'm gonna go 300 on that instead. So I should have plenty of pulls for Ines

[@Humanentity3888]

5:17 One idea in my mind for Agent vanguard archetype is to give them a reduced attack interval (15%- Attack interval) is good enough, but the buff well go if thier HP is

[@idkmyname3497]

the idea i have is they'll always have fixed dp cost and a slight aspd increase

[@Shadow6OO]

While I don't think mine is realistic or feasible, I wish that Agents could get the good Charger module variant: Refunds the current DP cost when retreated. That'd be so handy, especially if you can avoid DP-negative deployments that way.

[@ironwiredglasses]

just for info 🤓 a week is normally 3k. 6 months net you around 72k as f2p. which is 120 pulls not counting po and green certi obtained along the way

[@foxwhite25]

Just a heads up, if you are going to play the new roguelike mode, ines is a must have.

[@k_a4685]

thats more than half year later bruh

[@crypto66]

I quite enjoy Cantabile's playstyle, and she seems like builds on that well, so I'm definitely rolling for her. It's also nice to see bigger names in the NA voice over industry like Erica Lindbeck. Makes me hopeful for certain voice actors to appear in the game.

[@yammoto148]

5:17 Agents are honestly so well rounded they don't need a buff with a module but if I had to give something to them it would probably be some form of Dp generation that is not tied to their skill as while their downtime isn't long it is inconsistent in comparison to other vanguard operators. Also they benefit a lot from attack speed so just giving them all attack speed when they get their module is pretty good on its own.

[@ExceedProduction]

The real drawback is them not generating as much DP on repeated deployments because of increased cost, so their modules could reduce DP cost on redeployment or make them give full DP back like for example Bagpipe module.

[@yammoto148]

@@ExceedProduction Eh, I mean I rarely need to redeploy an agent much unless they have CC I can use. Like if I am using Ines then yeah I can see the drawback but if I am using Cantabile, I either set her behind a guard or retreat her, and just use Myrtle to print dp in the background without needing to constantly redeploy her.

[@mr.shyguy8093]

I would say a simple solution from mods would be either: - Refund DP (>50%) after they retreat. Similar to executor module, and covers that small disadvantage. - Giving more DP for a brief period of time (say 2DP for 10 seconds) each deployment. This is focused on their archetype more, not making it too strong but very fun in IS.

[@Kilo6Charlie]

I think if I were to give Agents a module, it'd basically ripoff the Charger trait of refunding their total initial DP cost on retreat. Since they're Psuedo Fast Redeploy a lot, and that can eat into your DP more than they generate sometimes. could help. Alternatively, have them return their initial DP cost when they get downed, encouraging you to deploy them in "riskier" positions so they get taken down

[@theranmafan]

Gonna buy the upcoming Virtuosa Banner 6* Operator package and getting Ines that way!

[@ak_oneoneone]

damn, good for you bro!!

[@corvonegro909]

I imagine bringing Siege Mod2 to deal with smaller enemies would probably help further with Ines S2 cycling. Since she grants another random vanguard 1SP when an enemy is killed within 4 adjacent tiles. Nothing prevents them from holding the same lane though.

[@BeowulfCav]

First 10 pull got her, I was ready to go all in. She's gorgeous. So many good banners coming.

[@TheNukedNacho]

I’m gonna pull as many times as I can for Ines. With my current savings, that’s a single x10 pull. After that, either I start saving for Typhon or the 4.5 Anniv 6*s

[@deltaphazon4688]

Randomly got her during Eyja Alter pulls. Glad to see she's broken.

[@netherremains]

Buff I'm thinking of is a module that does not increase Agent Vanguard redeploy DP cost for the first time you redeploy them. At Module lvl 2, you gain a +15% ATK speed buff alongside this upgrade. At Module lvl 3, this is further upgraded to now no longer raising the DP redeploy cost for the first two (2) deployments. With this module, Agents will become very strong with their fast redeploy DP gain utility and we'll actually have a strong module worth building for them.

[@lynca9530]

im always running lot of sniper, that 0dp reveal is godly

[@daveguzman4595]

tbh i dont mind missing out on mumu and hoel, since eyja healer unit is the real must have, but still hoping i can get ines and mumu with whatever resources i have.

[@EggyEggtoast]

Honestly? If you ask me the must have healers are the two staple 5*s, Quercus for hard content and Skalter for literally everything

[@gaoaibai6243]

You dont need Eyja Alter, UNLESS you are innit for the whale strats or extreme late game and very difficult contents. Elemental Damage isnt sth most newbies need to worry about and you will NOT use Eyja Alter outside of maybe IS 3 or sth similar to that tbh, like ever. The ONLY must have unit for a newbie is maybe Typhon cuz big damage go brrr. The rest you can ignore Mumu is only good if you have very specific units, Eyja Alter is literally only ever used in IS 3 and maybe some extremely difficult stages and the rest of them... Aint really needed tbh.

[@MorallyDefficient]

​@@gaoaibai6243 you can literally said the same thing for every meta operator out there. "you don't need this meta op because youre still gonna do just fine without them" yeah no shit, but ppl still gonna pull for them because they trivialize alot of things.

[@mr.shyguy8093]

​@@gaoaibai6243you realise you contradict yourself saying Typhon is a must pull right? We have many boss killers in this game currently, and a lot dropped this year alone, so what makes Typhon a must have when she does big damage like other meta units? If you're a veteran, utility is more important, and Eyja at leave trivializes a mechanic that pops up sometimes, making her more of a niche meta pick, who does well outside of elemental damage.

[@aqira2yoo486]

Same to this, I was planning to pull on her banner but I don't think I can guarantee atleast a few potentials which is ideal always for vanguards :-00

[@johanesbpermadi2016]

Ideas for Agent module effect: Stats improved = ATK, ASPD -First deploy is free common module upgrades: Redeployment cost -25% & -50% respectively Stats improved = HP, ASPD -Each attack causes elemental damage common module upgrades: 15% - 30% chance of dealing double attack

[@shinoahiiragi9293]

Maybe the good module effect for agent vanguard is refund more dp when retreated, just like executor archetype since the player would use agent for gain dp and need to be redeployed multiple time (for example cantabile 1st skill, ines 3rd skill) Or the aspd buff/steal aspd would be amazing since the agent need to attack as much as possible when they skill active to gain dp and maximize their potential, its good if the other agent vanguard get this buff and its perfect if Ines get this buff from module since she would print more dp, also steal atk and aspd faster, you can't go wrong with aspd buff tho...

[@Dingsmann]

I think a double edged module would be something interesting to add to AK. For agents something like : "Increase DP cost, but each attack grants more DP during skill uptime". This would perhaps allow them to generate DP better in exchange for making their play style to be more stationary. Maybe release a second module alongside the first that sacrifices their DP generation ability for better fast redeploy abilities (No idea how rn.). And in between both modules the original would remain as a balanced, and still viable option.

[@Fortebx497]

Omg her English VA also voices Loona from Helluva Boss. Now Ines is definitely a must get for me.

module wise I would expect the module would 1.) increase DP gain 2.) increase attack speed/dps. 3.) reduce redeployment time. and the level 2 and 3 would improve her talent

When W asked Ines if it hurt when she cut her horns to look more Sarkaz, it confused me, as horns are numb, they have no nerve endings. But, learning she’s a caprinae, I think that was actually a bit of self censorship. Have you noticed that all the other caprinae have obvious animal ears? I think Ines cut hers off. Or someone did so to her.

[@kosmosXcannon]

I don't see Bena having ears, then again she is wearing a head piece. Maybe she cut off her horns, hollowed them out, and is maybe covering her ears with them? Then again that would affect her hearing and as an agent that is trying to hide their identity, that would be a detriment.

[@kosmosXcannon]

Basically her talents which the fist strike on an unit binds them for 5 seconds and steals 90 attack on talent 1. On talent 2 enemies lose 30% movement speed and they lose stealth, her shadow maintains this talent at the spot she was deployed on. She is basically a better Cantabile, mostly due to being a 6 star and her s2 expands her range. Her S3 kind of makes her act like an executioner fast redeploy as well.
