So You Want To Play Vanguardknights | Arknights

[@jorgep.s.8360]

You can tell by the description that Flametail has killed some runs. You may think it's because of how dodge chance stacks, but in reality she just doesn't have her gamer skin yet.

[@haryok8940]

Also she's dont have gaming chair.

[@kevineknar9136]

And no gaming energy drinks yet.

[@enfuegobeat7953]

poor Reed. Despite having access to arts damage she receives no love from Vanguardknights

[@HiImYii]

yea she's dogwater she doesn't get much better with her module upgrades either :(

[@enfuegobeat7953]

I wanna pair her with Iris who ive been building up lately, Blemishine, and eventually Erato

[@ElectroNeko_GoldenGlow]

@@tigerfalco I want to build her eventually as well she reminds me of W with her skill 2

[@andrewjaginoff4446]

You gave me hope only for it to get crushed mercilessly. When you mentioned Black Knight, I thought the badass goat lady from the Silverash event was going to become an operator.

[@tigerfalco]

Yeah...i tried google searching for the vanguard one...and was met with the one youre talking about's ass in my face as the like 2nd result....i was like bruh...this fast???

[@Strategiain]

I am 100% convinced Degenbrecher's going to become an operator in the future, she just has that look about her, like Irene during Under Tides. Monch is also obviously operator art. I just wish we got Arctosz and especially Ratatos, I have a need for the smug squirrel.

[@3takoyakis]

Black knight Blacknight Know the differences XD

[@yuhan4469]

she does, a bit sooner though lol

[@yuhan4469]

​@@Strategiain how uncanny is that irene is the one you mentioned then degen gets the same class as her, almost the same skill3 but is the powercrept lovecraftian alamgamation of hers and chen's s3

plot twist: vanguards failed to guard the ice cream van and Surtr proceeds to go chaotic and murder everyone final boss: Surtr alter

[@beefystu559]

I saw Vanguard and I just want to do my usual bitching of how I wish Siege S3 gives instant DP too. That's all.

[@kevintan3705]

I don’t know what’s more terrifying. Saga with a giant fork, or Bagpipe after being told she lost bc of skill issue.

[@ncrnmcn]

It was a comically large spoon before, now she wants a comically large fork🤣🤣🤣

[@nenadcannith]

i came for the Thumbnail and don't regret it >

[@jasonmartel854]

There IS a second source of healing, but it's Saileach S2, and while it is an AoE heal (and buffs too) the heal itself is fairly low. There IS a second healer though in the end (though 99% of the time she'd likely be used for S3 instead of S2, so eh)

[@Bilagtas]

NOOOO FLAMETAIL WILL ALWAYS BETERR THAN SEEGE AND SAGA HOW DARE U YII SHE'S NOT TRASH HER DODGE IS GOOD

[@tigerfalco]

Idk about that. An argument could be made for Siege but not Saga

[@nandapratamaputratomasila4801]

Saga is kind of better than Flametail because of her higher damage multiplier and second-life passive. She's definitely more consistent than Flametail but Flametail S3 can turn her into a semi-centurion with 2 blocks for a couple seconds. Though Saga S2 and S3 does the same and maybe even better than Flametail's S3 (Maybe S2 as well).

[@TheOrian34]

@@nandapratamaputratomasila4801 Semi centurion? She becomes block 3 and double attacks all blocked enemies after dodging.

[@Zwolfzein]

tfw u were here before u can even deploy vanguards on an operation

[@clorzz]

Might be interesting to have an operator that benefits from DP generation speed somehow. Not in a trivial manner, like merchants, but somehow more involved, so that many vanguards benefit them.

[@isaacyoung4601]

You can always make a squad using Vanguard, Merchants, and Trapmasters.

[@TheAzureGhost]

@@isaacyoung4601 had something like that in IS2 thx to temp. operators. Started with ,i think her name was frost(?), a trapper with pistol and shotgun ,jaye and temp. myrtle. Later i added bagpipe, temp. Siege, temp. Maggalan , Elysium, roberta(?) Trapper and that other summoner who summons and then blows up those mechacats. Was a fun run but i again failed at phantom boss.

[@yuhan4469]

2024 has to be the best year to be playing vanguardknights, we now have 2 6 star tacticians, an introduction of fast redeploy agent vanguards with ines having insane map coverage and utility. too bad that I didn't get mumu though (cause i don't have pulls), but i do have saga, ines and bagpipe, only hoping for saileach to bless me some time in the future

[@1ordTakeo]

Just found you recently, my god this channel is stacked with high quality videos. 🙏

[@NikkiTheViolist]

oh! I literally just finally got Bagpipe as an off-banner just right now! All thanks to your video

[@charginginprogresss]

Btw it's not 80% dodge in that run because she has her base dodge stacking multiplicatively with that 80% So in fact it's even worse, missing that 3 times in a row

[@demonlaharldraws6685]

reed, grani, myrtle, bagpipe and saga, almost every stage i do has at least 2 normally 3 of them. reed is amazing at high defense stuff

As a massive Reed simp I'm sad to see that she doesn't get to be used as often. Whatever niche she had already got powercrept leaps and bounds by Bagpipe. To add insult to injury her module basically adds nothing to solve her problems. But hey this means I get to be unique for once so I'm totally fine with that

[@CoffeeAhead]

She’s not nearly as bad as people make her out to be, sure she’s can’t burst big guys like Bag but her damage is still respectable and Arts, she can hold her own fine; plus she’s a 5* so more readily accessible and upgradeable.

[@ra6765]

@@CoffeeAhead yes. I can attest that she is actually a pretty legit op of her own, I'd say even more consistent than Vigna, but she has the problem of being in the worst vanguard category Bagpipe is exception) and being continuously compared to Vigna which is slightly worse (or better) but only as a 4 star. What people keep forgetting is that she regenerates 2 sp per kill on skill which can be pretty effective combined with Saga and Zima. Not to the level of Flagpipe but still decent. Doesnt matter though she never leaves my team lol

[@isaacyoung4601]

Reed does have a niche for Vanguard knights. Having natural res makes her better at eating caster hits than anyone aside from Flametail's S3. Her S2 is a respectable answer to a fair number of problems too

[@ra6765]

@@isaacyoung4601 her s2 is actually a potent ability at earlier stages of a map.. which is.. what a vanguard is supposed to do. When people say her s2's damage sucks they are using it to fight Patriot unbuffed and comparing it to Surtr's S3. Oh and yes her RES was a lifesaver back in Break the Ice event

On the bright side she's finally getting a skin..I mean it doesn't have any special effects or anything.. but at least it's something.
