At least my son hasn't been powercrept in his true niche: killing allied units.

oh that reminds me

LMAO they are trying to make a workable one after fucking up with my girl spuria, so aak is not completely alone

man, i do think it's sorta lame how obvious it is arknights is trying to make their SUPER SPECIAL APPLE PIE GIRLY UWU uber busted to rake in the dollars, but i am glad that it means the other geeks get the collateral benefits

I do love Exu as a little mascot girl but it is kinda funny how it's like... ah, yes, this archetype with drawbacks... it's an anniversary character, kill the drawbacks.

As someone who doesn't read too much CN stuff besides "it exists" I was looking over and saw "free redeploy" and when "hey wait what the fuck"

like, that's a strong enough niche you could just have that and we'd be losing our minds but noooooo

although again there have always been units who were just stacked for free.......... stares at mr silver "faster redeploys, shwing shwing, reveals invisible" ash

anyways yes i look at cute aaks................... cutie...

yeah exu is just absolutely insanely broken ... it feels a little bad given how many high-tier meta units we've had as of late (and have coming up) but i guess arknights being a very forgiving game in terms of being clearable with non-meta units makes the powercreep ... still bad! but like ignorable

anyway congrats to aak on being able to stick around to kill his teammates even more <3

It'll be nice to have a bit more wiggle room in when to drop him aside from "have a medic ready" or "make sure he's autoing immediately for talent heals."

it's extremely funny how broken the upcoming banners are, but as a die hard Exu fan I am NOT complaining that she's getting a lot of love

the number of times i stupidly went "teehee i'll go with buff army this time" only for aak to peace out before he could durianspam ......

no longer!!!!

powercreep just means clearing in easy I guess, while if you want to challenge yourself you can still use the non-meta units instead

AK is just catching it's new operators up to the abyssal hunters standard. (joking?)

Yeah, I think the gameplay itself still does a good job of making reasonable challenges that don't require busted stuff. And, yeah, high level CCs often make things that have units who don't show up to every map kings and queens.
(Not that, like, Gladiia isn't a good unit she's just not usually an every-map character unless AH or wife... but CC star.)

(or every now and then a challenge/CC map is like "it's time to use ceobe.")

my good dogter

unfortunately I simply don't cc

I got broca's skin back in the day, and have no use for it anymore

Four Lemuens (and a Narantuya) before one Exusiai.

aak got to pump the boss full of syringes, tho, he ended up in the best position for DPSing it

For Exusiai being the specialest limited girl it was definitely Lemuen that helped me avoid shenanigans with the final EX stage's challenge mode.

boss: haha are you ready for me to show up on a completely different path to the spawn poi-
lemuen, firing five shots immediately from space: criminal : )

lemuen really did just go: SILENCE CRIMINAL

insert that img that's like "silence bottom" but it's lemuen saying "silence criminal" instead anyway

GOD THAT WORKS LMFAO

mt-s-3 CM has hands. i even switches to abyssal squad only to realized specter alter's doll gets affected by sleep tiles as does ulpianus' s3 redeploy

you weren't kidding these s maps are rough .....

s-3 vanilla with maleknights already wrung me dry, jesus christ

IT'S A LOT............ and some part of my "fuck it" strategy is just overhealing which maleknights doesn't have a lot of strong medics

THEY SURE DON'T

maybe if we survive to anni 10 we'll get a powerhealer who's male

hypergryph please it's been six years give us a six star male sniper already, fights back tears

vector breakthrough thoughts: WHY DO THEY HURT SO MUCH!!!

I had more time than I remembered but it was a moment of... I need to do this trim now or I'm forgetting.
