Top 10 Strong 4* Operators! | Brief Overview & Explanation!

[@deltadex7]

Perhaps a slight correction for Jaye and the merchant specialists: they drain 3 DP every *3 seconds* instead of every 1 second. The rest of the info is correct, though. Also I love using Jaye to solo off single outlier enemies.

[@KaySensei3]

Typo on my part, sorry about that...

[@keltkenterbery]

Dude, when they will get their module they will be soooooo much more useful - 2 dp drain instead of 3 is a gamechanger!

[@deltadex7]

@@keltkenterbery I am also waiting for it to come to global as well. don't know how long tho

[@CrusherKingZ]

I don't use Jaye so often cuz I still have to learn how to play with his do drain

[@zomfgroflmao1337]

While Cutters second skill might be her signature skill, her first skill is often used more, because the damage to a single unit is absolutely obscene (if all her knives hit one target), and her first skill is more universal useful.

[@KaySensei3]

Honorable Mentions: Podenco - A slow supporter that can do decent healing with her skill 1 and nice slowing with her skill 2, a versatile operator to use! Shaw - A Pusher Specialist that can push enemies into death holes, a great unit to invest in if you do not have better pusher specialists as Shaw can get the job done perfectly! Pinecone - A Spreadshooter Sniper similar to Ch’en The Holungday. Her first skill does big damage thanks to it being able to ignore a certain amount of defense and its big attack boost, the skill can store 3 charges and hits ALL enemies in range, a great unit to have, though she can be a little expensive to deploy (Big DP cost) Gravel - Best Ara Ara unit! She is a fast-redeploy unit and her second skill gives her an amazing shield that lasts for a decent duration, allowing her to soak up huge damage like they're nothing! Click - A mech-accord caster that deals high single target ARTS dmg! A very good unit to use against boss enemies! Skill 2 gives a decent ATK buff and stun chance! May - Anti-air sniper. She can dish out a small burst of damage with her skill one while providing a stun chance with her S2, a great sniper to use in early game! Meteor - Anti-air sniper. She can debuff enemies with her skill, her skill 2 can debuff up to 40% of DEF for 5 seconds at mastery 3! She's awesome as she is a DPS that can provide support as well. Arene - Ranged guard. He prioritizes drones despite being from the guard archetype, and his second skill is similar to lappland's where he will target 2 enemies at the same time and deals big arts damage with his basic attacks! An awesome starter ranged guard to build! Beanstalk - Not the best DP regen vanguard. She is from the tactician archetype, but she is excellent in stalling enemies with her crab! She can be used to stall high defence enemies until you have enough DP for a caster, a great 4 star unit, but other DP regen vanguard might take a higher priority!

[@thanoof]

Arene where

[@colorx6030]

Podenco can silence enemies with her S2 too! Really useful against annoying, silenceable enemies.

[@Necvi-C]

Can you make comparation of amiya or click

[@Necvi-C]

Can you make comparation of gravial or myrrh

[@KaySensei3]

@@Necvi-C sure thing! I'll try my best!

[@Motivated99999]

Gravel, Myrtle, Jaye, Click, Podenco, Ethan are the most important 4* for me, May and Cutter good for upcoming integrated strategy, other 4* will be good if you don't have higher rarity options and for integrated strategy the more low rarity you have the merrier it will be.

[@838Camper]

I really like 4* units, good balance in utility and raise cost. You forgot to say perfumer has a talent to heals all operator in the battlefield, even if are not in the heal range. This heal is bases in a % of perfumers attack, so with s2 you can regenerate all units hp just have her in battlefiled! No matter if they are enmity, summon units or even ally shieldguards. A map with poison? Just bring Perfumer! Oh also, Jaye drain 3 dp, every 3 seconds, not every second.

[@KaySensei3]

Yeah, another typo on my part...

[@bloodred255]

with his module its 2 DP every 3 seconds

[@indraprimadi7188]

Out of them, I only lacked Sussuro and Utage. I really wanted Utage so bad because I heard she has huge bo...I mean se has huge attack speed thanks to her talent

[@OldeCat]

Note on perfumer: -her talent makes her do a global healing that scales with her atk, 2nd skill put her talent on steroid -her module makes her heal 4 unit instead

[@TokinoSora10thApostle]

There's very little 4 star that's bad bad, tons of them are meta (cuora is comparable with 6* ops, lots of debate on myrtle, Ethan being "better" than mizuki, etc). Here is some 4* that have niche utility for lower priority: -Doberman -Roberta -Conviction -Earthspirit -Deepcolor -Haze -Greyy

[@KaySensei3]

Any other 4 star operators that is powerful? Comment below~

[@hez0000]

I think Shirayuki is one, and I am impressed by Gravel too.

[@Projekt193]

I love Using Gavial and she is my first E2

[@Where_would_I_go_without_you]

Click, every Dokutah who was her is subscribed to her and has left a like at least once.

[@mdzrck2247]

Snipers May and Meteor. May shoots fast and inflicts slow debuff while Meteor reduces defense.

[@saberz7027]

Gavial cause she could become an AoE healer on the fly with her s2

[@Rime_Di_Michelangelo]

A note for new players: against exploding slugs and originium slugs and in general against enemies with troublesome passive abilities, you can switch to Jaye's first skill if you don't have Lappland or Corroserum. Jaye's first skill nullifies passive abilities, but you need to keep alive with a healer now. Another note: Jaye is also a hidden fast-redeploy! Meaning you can deploy him over and over during the same battle, which makes him a useful Staller against bosses and can help you clear late event maps even if you're a beginner!

[@DStarLugia]

i feel like pinecone deserves a spot in that list too

[@worldshistories5143]

Yep she deserves more before Ch'alter came up.

[@jordanrea2311]

i would have thought you would say something about jays talent that massively increases his ATK when attacking infected creatures since its a 150% or 155% ATK (depending on pot)

[@BigB2346]

Perfurmer 2nd skill is not only best option for normal units but units like hellagur bcz of her talent that restores allies hp by 5% of perfurmer atk which means if her atk is 300(suppose) she restores 15 hp to all allies and by her skill that increases atk by +250% her healing output is 750 and her talent is now heals 37 hp per second,build perfurmer if you have hellagur bcz he synergies with his 2nd talent which restores 60 hp when not blocking so restoring 97 hp per second and when attacking restoring 107 hp per second

[@ZanaKawaii]

Damn, I already E2 almost, if not all of the 4* you mentioned in this video. Also some of those E2 4* has at least one of their skills at Mastery rank 3. I frequently use Cuora and Myrtle in my high-end setup, and just discovered how great Cutter is.

[@vazhenka9303]

I would add here May who is absolutely based 4* sniper with lots of utility. Also luckily Jaye doesn't drain 3 dp every second, but 3 dp every three seconds.

[@KaySensei3]

Sorry for the mistake!!!

[@lavaphoenix_wings539]

Honors to Click, for having very high single target arts damage!

[@zenmode3125]

"Vigna is a great alternative if you do not have Bagpipe" ...y'all really forget about Reed, huh? Best girl between charger vanguards, change my mind

[@AquaticIdealist]

HG did her dirty both gameplay and lorewise by not going ham on her Arts damage. Imagine her with 130% Arts Damage with skill 2! As it stands, the upcoming modules basically took away her niche

[@zenmode3125]

@@AquaticIdealist a man can dream, right? I hope she gets a buff one day...

[@shianmae5634]

I have majority of the operators mentioned in the video, but I'm only currently using Myrtle. I really should invest for the others, since I'm relatively new in arknights. Thanks for this wonderful video

[@worldshistories5143]

Ah good old times to use them back in days. Till now I'm using Perfumer because of her talent w/ module and Uncle Jaye too. I'm rarely using the other 4*, well cuz of 6* y'know.

[@cefrinaldi8060]

Pinecone need to be in the list. Her s1 is really spammable and she is much better than her 5* brother. And to top it off, chalter (the queen of shotgun) is limited making pinecone even more desirable by new and old player that doesnt get chalter.

[@hez0000]

One of the archetypes that I don't know how it works is that Merchant dude (Jaye). I have zero comprehension on how useful it can be. I do not have any merchants in my account probably why I do not understand their role.

[@KaySensei3]

They're usually used as a fast redeploy unit thanks to their lowered redeployment time, and Jaye is special thanks to the healing he gives, enabling him to solo enemies. In CC#6, a max level S2M3 Jaye can solo the big and annoying corcos coming down the bottom lane, a very special operator indeed~

[@hez0000]

@@KaySensei3 oh the big armoured enemy that the old guy can solo? I've probably seen the old man that doesn't need any healing on allies, solo that thing the most during CC6.

[@KaySensei3]

Jaye can also do that despite being a 4 star! But he needs higher investment than most units out there (probably need to be maxed out in levels and M3ed on S2 to for him to survive)

[@kingshrimp9321]

I would actually argue Perfumer's skill 1 is more useful/widely used. While the ATK increase isn't as much, she doesn't get an ASPD debuff, has almost half SP cost, and only 5 seconds of duration difference, so you can spam the skill more often. I feel like it just gives her more consistent heals

[@q_thelegocreator4191]

Just one word: yes Also Dr.silvergun will be very proud

[@Victorvonbass]

I see Mousse I upvote Mousse. I only use 4* so this is a decent list.

[@liuxingyan7788]

I don’t really wanna build Sussurro because I already have Silence m3 and I still need to e2 Kaltsit, Warfarin and Mulberry. Elemental damage is terrifying so I really need Mulberry. I think the healing drone from Silence is much better because it can be reused 8s after it disappears and it heals very quickly. Can also be placed anywhere on the map and heal multiple allies.

[@KaySensei3]

If you already have the 5 star medics, you don't need to build the 4 star ones if you aren't doing 4 star operator clears~

[@adamvegas5951]

Personally I like deep color a lot (her module makes her a good deal better imo)but I think the list makes sense as a best of 4 stars list

[@sinshere9590]

Indigo and Ambriel are great operators to add to your roster at some point! They're more niche than some of the operators covered. Jaye is the overall strongest/most useful in this list, aside from Myrtle who might be the most used Operator of all. Any chances at doing a list for 5*? You might need more than a Top 10 though. Maybe a best two of each Class or something.

[@KaySensei3]

Will do! Definitely!

[@markopusic8258]

I would never ever recommend Ambriel. The deadeye archetype has the worst possible trait out of every class, worse even than duelist guards who's trait is literally "block 1". I have played her, (in fact I have played every single deadeye sniper operator at some point and Andreana is my favourite unit in the game) and I can say with confidence that it's not worth the trouble. Janky targetting drags Ambriel down severely especially since her signature move is getting global range at the cost of slower attack speed, and her attack speed is already slow. She's usable sure, every operator is, but she's not someone I would recommend as a good unit, ever, I would recommend her if you want to mess around with unique gimmicks.

[@Konpekikaminari]

I raised Ambriel because she looked cute She is such a fun operator to use

[@Mikufan-lb7zu]

good, but there is room to grow, a lot of errors, for example, it is not indicated that Perfumer heals summons, Cutter attacks drones, the choice of showcases is strange

[@KaySensei3]

True... I'll do my best to improve my future videos! Thank you for your feedback!!!

[@criffly]

I think you skip the passives, some of them are very good, like Myrtle, and Perfume heal. Cuora was one of my main tanks until 3 moths ago, when i drop Hoshiguma. She is a very strong operator, and with her skill she can tank almost everything.

[@ReCrystX]

I think Podenco, Pinecone, and Arene should be in the top 10 rather than Vigna and Gummy, but its a good video for its duration

[@headfullofarene8917]

I have them all except Vigna and Cuora, I wish I can pull them on my next gacha pull. I'll try to build them all after building some of my 6 star operators, thank you!!

[@wirbuss4849]

I think, you missrepresented Perfumer. She's skill 2 increase heal, what works as Boost for her talent. What give global regeneration for all allys even Mudrock. This make her the best healer in the whole game. Also, great video.

[@ZenkiNishikawa]

the only 4 star i use is dobermann (because she deals 120% damage when not blocking an enemy and not expensive her first skill is only useful) and myrtle (to generate dp ofc)

[@NTKM-om9vn]

My favorite 4* Operator is Meteor

[@simmie912]

arene: when silence isnt involved, he literally outclass lapp. watch any 4* AK players and u'll see him in almost all runs

Shirayuki. Vigna left the top 10 years ago.

[@iv2171]

[@luisgabriel7565]

so just a saying, Bubble is actualy more useful overall than Cuora, Sure Cuora is the tankiest BUT Bubble S2 can tank just enough and retaliates with Some dmg. and Cuora S2 4 block isnt really commonly usefull...

[@KaySensei3]

Yeah... May is super strong, probably one of the strongest starter snipers I was literally cancelling and re adding names on the list, this is actually version 3 of the list, but it's still imperfect...

[@oasis6023]

Wait so for myrtle you should up talent up her first skill not second?

[@KaySensei3]

Yeah, as her first talent gives the first burst of DP super quickly (fastest in all standard bearers currently). Paired with Bagpipe at potential 5, Myrtle's S1 at M3 can activate almost immediately, which is awesome in CC events with DP regen down~

Saying Myrtle is similar to Saileach is a travesty. She is literaly the OG, if anything Saileach is similar to Myrtle.

I meant that they were from the same archetype. The both of them are super unique in their own ways and they have nothing in common aside from their archetype~

[@Kleowi]

@@KaySensei3 It was just a nitpick, the rest of the video was top notch. But let's just say there is a healthy and strongly worded discussion going on if Myrtle could ever be surpassed by Elysium and Saileach. At this point, nothing short of a wellfare flag carrier will every pull Myrtle out of her spot as the OG DP Printer. It is very rare for gachas to have low rarity units be so meta defining.

Hi

[@IShadowPrototype]

Okay.. Myrtle - we all know. Overpowered subclass Vigna - weak subclass, Beanstalk better Sussuro - strongest burst heal, no objection Perfumer - overpowered, perfect synergy of such a strong talent with skills Cuora - close to top def in the game + selfhealing, bruh, overpowered Gummy - on the one hand, an excellent abilities, on the other hand, it is not particularly used. Skill 2 delay is terrible Cutter - everything is said in the video, no objections Mousse - oh, that's what I'm here for. She absolutely does not get into the top 10. A weak subclass that received only minuses for swap to art damage . These are saved only by strong abilities, Mousse does not have them. Utage - middle subclass for big stars. Convenient skills, kills the meaning in Mousse. Jaye - subclass with very large weaknesses. Literally not playable unless there are overpowered abilities. Jaye is lucky, his S2 is like that.
