[@toddboward4771]

You should have mentioned Catapult and her sick +80% Byproduct Rate for Elite Materials. She has already saved me about 8,000 sanity, and no, I am not exaggerating. When she procs byproducts (which is very often, almost every 2 to 3 combines) she saves you a few runs, or certs. Max those Catapults my dudes. She is low cost and pays upgrade cost after your first E2 and I'm on my 12th now.

[@ZealsAmbitions]

@@toddboward4771 yup I'll be making a separate base video. Thanks for the wise words :)

[@pancake6391]

Pancake King they are both great do what you like but I personally like Ptilopsis since you asked for my opinion :)

[@pancake6391]

@@ZealsAmbitions ah yes thank you . I think eyja is enough for my dps and my prob rn is i don't have much tanky operators so i thought ptilopsis would be able to cover it up . Once again thank you for your suggestion ^^

Saria is AMAZING. When I got her I screamed.

[@crackedup3378]

syaondri you can argue and debate over any generalized statement. My 4* e1 Cuora got me through content, but having high damage really nullified any challenge. But yes defense is important too, but I too would choose damage. Saria is a different beast though she can do soooo much.

[@yulusleonard985]

Saria is exception because her Sp recharge skill.

[@heckme8969]

Not E2ing tanks or healers is a good idea. Unless, of course, if we’re talking about Ptilopsis and Saria.

[@Cer049]

@@goodboi6624 you mean NOT e2ing your saria?

[@Enju23]

Honestly, I like those two, but for me, my next e2 target(s) wouldn't be those two, I'll definitely get my healers e1 maxed, but after that it'll be if the tanks die, dps didn't kill fast enough, enemies can't kill you if their hp reaches 0 first

[@novinraushan8]

*sad cuora noises* Btw, cuora basically makes faust's purple shot a joke. she just shrugged it off somehow

[@starberries9542]

Novin Raushan it’s true that cuora is good, but e2ing her...isn’t the best, considering there are a lot of better options like Hoshiguma who can also tank the purple shot and do much more.

[@memetic_hazard]

Two things to point out. 1. F2P players should prioritize getting the recruitment tickets in the T2 certificate shop, since more than half of their yellow certificates will be coming from recruiting 4* units, although this takes a month or two to max out potentials first. 2. Props for pointing out the material categories, but this spreadsheet is actually flawed. It counts T1 materials as having 0 value (alongside some other drops) when looking at the sanity efficiency, when it should at least count them as 1/3 their T2 equivalents, because you can use the workshop to upgrade them. There's at least two spreadsheets floating around Reddit that account for this... Other than that, nice guide!

[@ZealsAmbitions]

memetichazard yeah I have seen that spreadsheet and I thought I was looking at the same thing but I will find the link and link it in here! Thanks for pointing that out!

Oh also, to add further, the logistic packs from trading OP for the same Orundum + material bonuses from level 50 onwards is filled with decent chunk amount of rarer materials, further more reasons to save OPs just to trade it with those logistics' resources

[@anthb4396]

First things first - really glad to know your pops is discharged and is on the mend, and of course, I'm super happy to see you uploading Zeals. Secondly, on to my waifu..wait, what? Exusiai is defo going to be my first E2. Not that I was attached to her when I rolled her or anything. I'm not totally obsessed with Exusiai, I swear. I did 7 her skill as soon as I could, her second skill is off the charts crazy. Been chipping away, got myself autoing CE and LE 5 for stocks, that was my main priority of the past week. I'm like that, I see a stage where I could hit for the most bang, and I do it. I hate farming things sub optimally on games, just how my brain works. Glad my LE amd CE 4 days are behind me lol I can't lie, it's pretty intimidating thinking about E2ing, even though I can't wait. Put myself behind the curve on the story to farm the top stages, but hey. Lobe the vid Zeals, keep being awesome my guy. Much love.

[@ZealsAmbitions]

Anth B Exuisai is definitely a good choice 👍

[@archfalcun]

I plan to make E2 exusiai first. Have seen different opinions about Lappland. Was considering making her next. Is a great five star and a lot cheaper. And thanks for that Excell sheet. Super helpful

Do a video on operators to level/E1/E2 for base gains and how to recruit Castle 3. I E1ed Frostleaf, Perfumer, and Steward even tho I don't regularly use them for those sweet sweet Factory gainss.

And I don't have Defenders like Hoshiguna and Saria.
