I apparently didn't verbalize this in the video. Skill 3 is the general skill, the one you'll use more often. If you have always feared Integrated Strategies, try borrowing a full mastery Texas Alter on Skill 3 and use her. You'll be jaw-dropped by how she sweeps most IS stages. Skill 2 is the niche skill. But it's a powerful niche skill that is worth investing especially if you do not have other boss killers or enough boss killers in your account. The video's very long, I hope you do enjoy it. But if I could extend it, I would have showed off more Texas for you to pick up ideas.

Step 1: Find problem in the map Step 2: Deploy texas Step 3: Retreat texas

"Texas S3 mark the first time a fast redeploy can attack aerial mobs" OBJECTION!! Kafka S2 initial hit also does hit flying enemies, yes, it's a single hit, on a skill very few peoples uses, but it exist.

Texas Alter is really great in IS3, just bring Hand of Superspeed and Wrath of the Siracusans and she’s OP.

One thing I realized about Texalter is that the skill 3's swords doesn't get affected by ASPD debuff/buff which comes in handy for bosses that slows operators's ASPD. That also means if you're going like 600 ASPD, it wont really change the dps of texalter that much (except for the main slashes).

"This marks the first fast redeploy able to attack aerial mobs" *distant Kafka noises*

Something cool about how Texas Alter's s3 interacts with low altitude enemies is that Vanguard Texas' s2 works the same way. Using OG Texas in IS2 was how I found out she could knock the flying soldiers out of the air

She is incredible satisfying to use. Everything, the damage the sound effect and skill animation...

Step 1: Deploy her on enemies you want dead. Step 2: Profit. 📈

fun fact: she can clear the upcoming CC#11 R18 by herself

Due to FRD nature of Texalter it feels like she has global range/presence

Thank you man, now I can finally use her, she's be sitting there waiting for this video

I would love to see a Penance guide as her kit and uses are much less straightforward and OP than texas.

I was half expecting the video to say something like "Drop her on an enemy and if they survive, retreat her, repeat" and then cut to a black screen for the rest of the video

Just sparked my texas alter and this guide will be very useful :) Love her as well!

I just reinstalled Arknights after seeing an ad about texas alter and free pulls because I really liked Texas. Glad I got her with the free 10pull cause she'll be a big help for someone like me who has skill issues in TD games. Also her alter is cool af.

Thank you for reminding me that she can only target 4 unit & always use her without any unit in her 4 adjacent tiles. Might be a small thing, but sometimes small changes will give a significant impact.

I'm a new Player and just began last week. Your Videos are super helpful🎉

BTW, excelente Showcase. Continue like this, i love it

Yep, that's why I like your showcases that much. Now I know that Crushers and some others can be silenced as well

I can't wait to clear every stage in the game using only Texas Alter and Kirin x Yato. It's going to be so much fun.

Skill 1 is actually useful at e1 since without her second talent she is kinda frail n the extra damage over time while she is down after being one shot does help

Just in time to watch

great analysis. I hope you can make a guide about her combo with Reed next cuz I heard it's the meta on CN server

Also, skill 3 area dps isn't dependent on atk speed, meaning atk speed buff like Akk or debuff like 11:27 won't affect the sword rain speed

One more thing of note, S2 may do more DPS, but if an elite or boss can easily kill Texas and is not stun immune, S3 may allow you to deal more total damage to said boss or elite by helping you survive their attacks. SPOILERS: You can also use this crazy synergy in the future with Omertosa, Reed alter and Surtr against really strong bosses. Have Reed ready to heal Surtr, when Surtr is about to block the boss activate her skill 3, then activate Reed S2 and place Omertosa S2 next to Surtr so they both cover and attack the boss. Surtr ignores some res, Reed alter has crazy stat scaling and will amplify arts damage, Omertosa will reduce some of the bosses res. This setup should easily do more than 200k arts damage in the duration of Reed's skill, which is 20 seconds.

I found myself using Sexas a lot in IS3, and she is damn good! She absolutely carried me in helping get the first 3 Endings. Her S3 is no joke. Seriously, there are some crazy strong collectibles for her in that mode.

love ur vid, waiting for ling showcase

She has been such a huge Quality of Life for my game play, and I looooove helidrop ops, might make a helidropknights squad someday

Youre right; Texalter can be defined as "Arknights' cherry bomb" lol

"The ever first fast redeploy that is able to attack aerial mobs" Meanwhile April in the corner

In IS3, S3's used almost exclusively, E2 90 Pot 4 is great.

My Top 5 best operators in Arknights. 1. Mlynar- currently the best DPS wide AoE damage dealer in the game. He's so strong to the point where almost all KZfaq low rarirty clears have him as the core operator. 2. Texas Alter- In my opinion the best helidrop in the game. Fast redeploy + high DPS + crowd-control = broken meta unit. 3. Surtr- She's still good, although the appearance of Texalter gave her a competition, her immortality talent makes her an irreplaceable boss killer. 4. Ch'alter- She used to be the number 1 in my opinion. But the since the introduction of Mlynar who can also deal wider AoE DPS, even AK YT guide makers favors him to be used as core operators more often than her. Mlynar has 3x cheaper DP cost, wider range and slightly higher DPS. She's still very strong though. 5. SilverAsh- His invisible reveal is a niche that will always be useful since HG loves introducing invisible enemies. Although weaker than Mlynar, he can deal wider AoE physical damage. His talent shortens the redeployment time of other units, it allows me to spam Texalter and Surtr more often than usual. You see, I love nuke-knights.

The cherry bomb analogy is pretty good

I expected this to be a 30 second meme video of her deleting patriot or something. Instead I come into an almost 20 minute analysis. I guess I was looking for the memes in the wrong channel 😂

At first I though only her skill 3 was going to be my go-to skill and while it is; Skill 1 and 2 have proven so good in so many IS3 runs so far. I don't M9 often but she earned it! And her module further improves her potential and we got it right away too!

Texas S3 also hit those crumbling pillars, be careful with your placement since 1~2 hits by S3 instantly light them up and may also push them down

Texas is just so good in Integrated Strategies 2 that I keep picking her at the start because she made the stages so easy

Texas Alter is the literal Key that will let me start skipping banners for Yato alt and Chongyue. Previously I still had to keep pulling for stuff but at this point everything is just trivialized with Surtr, Ling and Texas the Tax Collector. A thing that I also like to do is use Texas' RES shred to help Surtr get more damage in. It's really funny to watch Patriot die this way.

Could you do a video on W? I'm close to sparking a unit and im wondering if its worth finishing out the pulls to get her on pity.

Texas the Omen Toaster :3

she's really reliable comrade that i trust my back on her

The thing is, both skill2 and skill3 can use either boss or trashmob depending if you are using her right. Tho. For me, i am still using skill2 to almost everything coz its cool. It is her, signature skill in il siracusano pv with that deer.

I really like the Texas Omelette she has so many use and extremely good taste.

I am a relatively new player (started in the final week of March), and I was very excited about this banner. I am so glad I saved a bunch and got her at P2 and Penance at P1 (together with NRT in my free 10 pull!... and Pallas, meh). I did these pulls while watching your stream, it was super fun! Thank you for your guides and vids, I am enjoying this game a lot (also thanks for the rest of the community, you ppl are great). Today I reached 300 pull and now I am thorn between Skalter and W. I guess Skalter would be better? I love both characters from what I've seen and played. Which one is rarer? Though I guess both will also be back on the "Here I Stand" banner, right? I also don't know which 6* op should I get from the permit. I was going to get Surtr, but after watching this video I am wondering if there are another operator that would suit me better, since it seems Texas Alter do similar to Surtr or even better (according to your video). Besides Penance, Pallas, NTR and Texas Alter, I have the following 6* ops: Exusiai, Mlynar, Horn, Hoshiguma, Ifrit, Mudrock and Weddy.

13:03 Kukkikaze is wrong here; Cantabile is the first fast-redeploy who can target aerial units.

I did not know stun drop those hover boarder 😅. Always pew pew them with my range.

From the creators of "Just Use Surtr" comes "Just Use Texas the Omertosa." I agree that it is one of the best, and I dare say that it must be TOP3, game operators. Since the moment i get her, I have used it both, in the stages and in IS#3, and today probably in the SSS, and how the meta changes is impressive. It was definitely worth taking it out in P6 and leaving it in Lv90 M9 Module Lv3

Nice

I sparked her actuality my friend pot 9 penance tho 🎉🎉

I want to argue with the Patriot clear, instead of showing off how broken Texas is I'd say Mountain is even more OP because he made the Texas shenanigans possible all on his own holding the line.

Couldn't get p4 but both banner units are so fun

In current event, once the angry mob guy spawns -- the bar stops draining. Any kills you make during this period, don't count against the new bar. So it's a great time to drop Texas S3, GG S3, and other similar wave-clearing skills. But really Texas S3 makes short work of large clumps like multiple cars then that spawn 3 guys each... and all of them will die w/o spawning a 2nd annoying miniboss guy.

13:03 Well there’s Kafka S2 that can hit aerial only on the Deploy hit, but yeah that barely counts 😆

Maybe the only Texalter cant beat with s3 in future is just stun immune enemy. But that's a rare case and still have good dmg.

Texas: press D to deploy/destroy

damn poor phantom

Texas S3 (At pot 4 at least I think) can actually solo WD-8 and she's the only non-summoner operator who can, I think. No need to deploy Silverash, Nearl, Irene or Surtr. But I mean she takes 12 deployments to kill Emperors blade so she clearly sucks

Yo guys is penance gonna be available on off banners? Got 2 Texus alter in 120 pulls but no penance. Don't think I can go no more then 10 pulls

Texas skill 3 is invaluable for is3 it's like hg made is3 just for her those flying guys are the worst and highmore boss becomes a breeze She can DPS the knight ending 2 as well and skadi hehe what skadi Texas alter is the best operator to come to this game and Texas is my fav character anyway big plus

She makes rogue like runs easy too. I'm farming IS-2 way faster and consistently with her.

I got 3 Penances, 4 Texases, 1 Rosmontis in the span of 134 rolls (sadly no W). I feel like i am obliged to e2 Texas because of her -2 second pot

Plan A: Collect Texalter Plan B: Used and retreate her Plan C: MAX HER E2 and max S3 Also Me: i didn't collect Texas Alter and i give tips😂

Gee, thanks for that intro. Only took me 36 pulls (10 free, 10 orundum and some singles)

bruhhh this would've been useful if i had one, how come i didn't get her in over 250+ pulls

i'm debating whether i should roll for her, but now that i've watched this, i decided that i shouldn't. i'm a mid game player and she's not that much appealing to me even though she's so strong. plus, i only have less than 50 pulls with me rn. i should probably just save it for celebrate & recollect banner. thanks for the video btw!

Me as Texas user : Just drop her on a lot of enemies using s3

I didn't get Texas, (But I got 2 Penance, 1 Pozy, 1 Chen all new which is lucky in 70 pulls), But yeah, Its so fun using her in IS2 and IS3

B A L A N S

I swear I heard that yato alter powercrept her

I wish I have Texas, Omertosa😢 I'm not lucky enough and not close enough to spark her

How to use Texas the Omertosa: Step 1: Deploy Texas Step 2: win

huh I didnt know that hoverboard enemy will fall off if you stun them usually I just use overwhelming ranget attack to kill em I guess I owe you a like then

ok first i want to thank you convincing me to pull for texas i was saving for a waifu operator then then in 20 pull manage to get texas 😂

70 pulls in, still didn't got her, but I got skalter at 37 pulls

i need help for Penance even more😅

190+ pulls and haven’t gotten texas alter or penance. I’m free to play and this is definitely my worst luck in Arknights.

Meanwhile I pulled 3 Penance and 1 Mylnar in almost 200 pulls lol and 6 months saving. Definitely quitting rn, 1,5 years without any limiteds are just pitiful, got 15 6* on those banner and none of them are what I want, what a joke

How to use Texalter: Drop her on the enemy you want dead. Saved you 20 minutes.

so meta wise she's more busted than Mlynar?

Just started the game today and pulled Texas Alter. Is she beginner friendly or no? If not then I'm rerolling.

should i max lvl her or just leave her at lvl 60?

I mean even surtr can't kill patriot alone.

12:27 kafka s2 ?

Fast-Redeploy? More like mini-tactical nuke lmao

just saying texas alter can solo the hole emperor's blade stage

I used her to get insta killed by bosses cuz idk how to use her :

How to use Texas alter Step 1: Deploy Texas alter Step 2: Delete non boss target and everything around it. Step 3: Recall Texas alter Congratulations you got teh gist of it. There, saved you 19 minutes and 26 seconds of video time ^^

is it worth to lvl up her to lvl 90?

Me after the Lobotomy 😂😂😂

I dont think that she need over 15 min guide

She need buff

00:01 no i didn't even though i spent 90000 orundum lol.

2 skalters 0 texas :(

!!

New to the game, 2 weeks, lvl 55. I got pot3 Texas alter and I refuse to use her. I wish I got other 6 stars instead. She is too OP. Whats the point playing if there is no challenge? I invested in Quartz, made her one of my first E2, couldn't be happier.

Just drop her

Texas alter aka easy mode 😎
