She has a niche, she is a literal enemy damage check.

Gummy vs Quartz is just so unfair, its like comparing an Ant with a literal God in Ursus shape!

5:10 I like how Gummy has a HIGHER chance of stunning. It's like a low blow at this point 😂

Holy shit, SUPAH has an interview segment now. Those memberships really upped the video quality.

14:25 Did Silvergun just fucking foretold Hoederer's S3 TO THE LETTER?

I once heard someone said that she's the closest Talulah we'll ever get. And I'm never been so mad at someone in Arknights before.

As a Frostleaf lover, I felt attacked when they roast her. Well, at least she gets her screen time in the anime.

I blame Myrtle they didn't want another brand-new 4-star of a brand-new archetype that was more powerful than every other unit in that class, so they made her intentionally worse than originally intended

"Hey uh SUPAH didnt you make an entire video explaining why operator reviews are bad so why are you making an operator rev-" *explodes* SUPAH: "Oh no he spontaneously combusted, such a shame"

Musha based crusher module could be interesting. Other types of changes could be like, letting them steal defense like from enemies, like Ines steals attack. Hell, they could probably get a module that sets both their defense and enemy's defense to 0 to compensate for the shitty tanking capabilities. Although, if they really want to lean on "ooga booga" beeg statstick, let them steal attack and a small amount of attack speed from enemies up to a certain percentage, but let it decay slowly when they're not actively hitting an enemy

Quartz S2 should be "Takes 25% more damage, +x attackspeed, Attacks deal 120% damage, When HP is lower than 40%, Instead get 25% Shelter effect, Attacks deal 180% Damage" or something. Made of paper, Until she isn't

Now that the 6* Reaper has been announced 6* Crusher I’m guessing will be Ulpian, he will probably still be bad on his own but with Abyssal buffs he will be Cracked

7:04 "Use my wife" -SUPAH

How about giving them a gimmick similar to the duelist crocs’ where they do more damage to and take less damage from blocked enemies, and make these buffs really big? This makes them like an AOE Duelist guard that specialises in taking down multiple big melee units at once.

"When they play Monster Hunter they only use LS" BURN

4:21 imagine the smell 🥵

Your arknights insights are always a pleasure to watch, absolutely love your content

This is actually my favourite video of yours lol. Funny discussion, valid points all around, good idea for who to interview, I can't really think of anything that wasn't done excellently here.

1:53 lappland spotted

In short: HG wanted to make a copy of Matoimaru but they failed miserably

It is pretty radical, but the change I'd implement in crushers would be to give em all Saria's passive as an unique trait, but up to eleven. To compensate for not having any def, after 1min/1min30sec they would instead achive double of their other stats. The challenge now would be keeping them alive and in an favorable tile to be of any use since they still have a range of just 1. And if somehow that ends up too busted, HG could slap a 'Crushers have 50% healing effectiveness' and call it a day

im surprised that reapers wasnt mentioned here since theyre crushers with all of the benefits, but none of the downsides

I discovered your channel a few days ago and I IMMEDIATELY binged most of your videos, your sense of humor is absolutely hilarious and as an Arknights player for 3 years, I don’t know how I never saw your channel sooner! Keep up the amazing videos.

i have a suggestion for the crusher archetype, i think it would be in the theme if it does more or less damage depending on enemy weight. either they crush defence or they crush defenceless enemies. it gives it a unique enough archetype and niche.

Wait quartz is real? I thought it was just a bad dream

It looks like the Crusher archetype aa a whole is designed to be positioned next to a defender, and not in front of. Good luck finding space in the tiles to do that, though

I actually wanna know what silver gun thinking of Gummy. It wouldn’t be that bad… right?

Nice analysis and cool collab. Now kiss

I mean to be fair, Fanka isn't bad nor unusable, she just needs to be paired with a defender to work, in fact she works amazingly when paired with Liksarm. Idk what HG were thinking when they released quartz, like there are 2 stars more functional than her and they don't have skills. All they needed to do to make her good is take that 25% damage taken and turn it into damage reduced and raise that stun chance to 30% and she would actually almost be able to replace Popukar.

One cool thing to add to this branch would be some kind of immortality/invulnerability. For example, crushers get X seconds of invincibility + large atk buff for a few seconds when their hp reaches 0. Balancing would need testing, but could for example add a long cooldown to the immortality. Another idea is add a common skill to all crushers that reduce the cooldown for the next immortality by half but has terrible uptime. This could lead to fun gameplay like: place a crusher in a chaotic Frontline, they activate immortality once and chunk all enemies with aoe dmg and atk up, then use their skill once to do the same next wave, then pray that you get enough time to "reload" the immortality again. Another idea is them getting an extra buff everytime they "die"

The music for this event is absolutely amazing

I think you brought a good point for a rework on crushers Like a Tryndamere or Olaf (league of legends) the closer to death the stronger they get But not like Musha's, make Crushers paper thin but the more their hp gets close to 0, the higher their attack (like, really fricking high, i'm talking about multiplication with two digits is possible) and maybe in a module give them either Shelter or attack speed buff (or go in a weird direction and give them a revive like Skadi Guard/Flamebringer) If the idea is glass cannon them make them nuke in meele tile, that's the trade off, you die easy, but you can kill also really easily

I think you need to give Crushers True Damage as a trait just to fix the archetype.

The last question of the interview was FUNDAMENTAL to understand Quartz's flaws, as she wouldn't have even muttered a coherent answer to that one.

The best part was the intervew with Mr Handgun made of a mineral called silver

They could've just added a damage reduction trait and/or module. But I also use Kyo's guides so...

Omg. Your videos are SOOOO fucking good. 😂😂😂👌 I just discovered you but I love the accent and the juxtapositions. 😂😂😂😂

When I heard Archetype “Crusher” when getting Quartz I would the would do the same thing as like the Defense Crusher enemy in which they would be some kind of stunner class for the guards, maybe if they do that it be for the crushers; “Stuns enemies for a brief moment after attacking [add number here]” and the skills can either increase DMG/Range or increase atk spd

Dammit, Blaze, this wouldn’t have happened had you remembered to use protection!

Lowlight cooking that OP 6 star crusher that probably has something that negates the entire archetype weakness that's what

Instructions unclear, i maxed out Gummy but she is still too cute to be put in harm's way

Now hold on, the chain caster archetype today is probably one of most consistently good. Leizi does need her level 2 module, but then she becomes straight up good and even a hard carry in SSS with full sniper stacks. Astgenne and Pudding are solid as well without needing such extreme investment.

Glass cannons tend to be stuff like assassins or long-ranged snipers, leveraging either the speed to kill before they themselves get killed, or the range so they can't get hit so who cares if they have 1 HP. An alternative is something like THERMAL-EX (hopefully I got the name right) where it sacs itself to deal massive damage. We already have the latter since most ranged ops are fragile. And we already have "assassins" in executors.

It's too bad her design absolutely captivates me. I'd have ignored her otherwise, but now i'm obligated to squeeze her into my niche teams

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined seeing the vigna comic and the concept of Gestaltzerfall appear in the same youtube video, created by an anime-bear-wife-cook simping lad with leftist tendencies and a freight train profile picture. This truly is the most blessed timeline. This has got to be the peak of human creativity and postmodernism as the same time, and that shouldn't even be possible.

idk if anyone said this yet, but for an archetype called “CRUSHER” you’d expect them to do something like. apply fragility to enemies similar to defense downs for operators

I think after they release geek or duelist defender class, they only release new branch class as free 5* or 4* because they know its to experimental to making them as *6 right away

a good way to fix crushers is they getting more atk and shelter the lower the hp gets, something like musha but diferent another way is give them a certain amount of ignore defence because well they're crushers and glass-cannon with high atk

I didn't expect to hear The Circle at then end, that's cool. Anyway to fix the archetype... I would make their trait *Attacks apply bleed for 10 seconds, dealing 30% attack per second (bleed ignores 80% def). Recovers bleed damage as HP" and make their talents "While below 55% (+5%) hp attacks deal damage to all enemies in range" and maybe make the skill "(Can't be healed above 50% hp) Range expands Gain 100 atsp, and increase bleed damage to 80% attack"

Just Pot6 E2M3 my Quartz last week! Hope he says something positive about her

She should have had double the HP. And a reverse Vigor/Berserk skill for good measure. I think her archetype's point is to exchange their DEF and RES as an excuse to bloat their HP pool. This in itself is not bad, considering we use effective HP to measure Defenders durability anyway. The problem is that DEF and RES are multiplicative with the enemy's ASPD (as in, the faster they attack, the more times DEF and RES applies to them) and with further DEF/RES buff. This makes the concept of effective HP pool WILDLY variable depending on the enemy. Against high ASPD low ATK enemies, higher DEF/RES would have more effective HP. But put them against a lumbering behemoths who hits once every ten seconds for 20x their DEF and they'd look like they don't have any DEF. This is where pure HP pool comes in. If you can only mitigate 5% of their damage anyway, why not take all of it to survive more hits? However HG REALLY undertuned her HP pool when it SHOULD have been double or triple that. At least make it so that her HP loss percentage vs intermediate enemies look the same as other Guard archetypes (i.e. if an axe guy hits melanta for 1/5 of her HP bar, then he should also hit Quartz for 1/5 of her HP bar). This archetype could be good if HG would just double down on their HP bloating concept. Imagine Hoshiguma tanking a 1000 ATK enemy. She can survive roughly 20 hits from them without healing. If there would be a 6* Crusher, they SHOULD have AT LEAST 20,000 HP so they can survive the same 20 hits as Hoshiguma. Bonus point because they huge HP pool increases the effectiveness of Abjurer's Shelter.

[Gummy Slander Removed] LMFAO.

How to fix quartz: put a huge chunk of arts res. That's all. Edit: or exploit crusher's hp loss by turning them into psuedo musha but instead of life steal, they get attack buff for every hp loss

12:52 As a Long Sword Main way back from Gen 2 of MonHun I felt so attacked.

God that MH joke Silvergun made is way too good.

The problem here is both the operators and the archetype itself. If I had a chance to fix the archetype I would change the trait where they could ignore/reduce defense based on the damage dealt on them like a counterattack. The name of their archetype is "crusher" they're supposed to crush enemies' defense.

Its supposed to be more like, Anti-Arts/Truedamage. Since her HP is *VERY* high, And those ignore Defence anyway. (But yeah just use Matoimaru/Melantha/Franka/Skadi)

Still waiting for 6* flamebringer alter in the crusher archetype

The 0 defence is an intresting design choice, it really says "use her to go after people with big attack values", because against 800 attack or 1000 attack 100 or 200 defence is not worth that much, translate it into 600 HP and you can do better. But she does AoE. And as much as i am usually a fan of "make everything AoE, then you kill all the single targets at once", in arknights it says "put me against multiple smaller target's so i can kill them all for you" which is the opposite of low defence strats. And her skills have the same problem. 80% attack says i do damage, but 80% attack speed and a stun says i do CC, it makes no sense. If the trait was the skill 2 stun then she'd make sense, it's just deal with people who hit really hard, by having high HP and stopping incoming attacks with a stun. Change attack up to swift strike because it works better with the stun idea.

Having an inverse vigor effevt, where you get ATK or something when below a certain % hp would've made the branch a bit more interesting

Giving them increased healing from all sources would be a unique fix for their high HP pool. I always wanted a unit that was nasty with strength but needed a couple healers to reach max potential. Especially since most units that heal do other utility for the units they heal.

Whats the intro song,it sounds like code veins lobby music but i might be wrong

This video really inspired me to build Quartz

Counter point, she has a big ass sword and an eyepatch. This satisfies my ape brain.

I remember when Crushers were introduced a lot of people thought they were gearing up for a Greatsword user for the Monster Hunter collab. Nope, musha and fast redeploy. Really don't know why they made an entire garbage class when Centurions and Reapers exist.

Quartz just needed cooler skills and like the whole archtype get like +2000 HP on top of their already high HP to give them the weird good against "True Damage" niche

I feel like they can have a talent or trait that allows them to resist damage depending on the percent of hp lost (50%hp gone=resist50% dmg). Maybe let it cap out at 80%. Idk if that’s gonna be too op but at least they don’t die as quickly. Oh and let their attacks ignore 30% defense, that would be nice to have too.

May you please make a long video explaining why your Goddess Gummy-Sama is the best because I don’t see nor comprehend y she is the best. Explaining y she is the best might make me simp for your Goddess as well. Amazing video by the way.

This is a case of TOO MANY GUARD ARCHETYPE.

She has the strength of a quartz gem

She's been in my party since her release. I pushed her DEF to about 2.8k as a meme. I like her. I will say she's kind of difficult to use compared to other things I actively use, but she's one of my favorites now. Alongside Tomimi gaming, of course.

When I think of Crushers, the word armor break comes to mind.

I think she is alright. She is very fragile, yes... but if you support her with a burst healer like Purestream for example she can actually do a lot of damage in early stages. I had no centurion so I built her and I enjoy using her. You definitely have to think where you are putting her.

I wonder how would Crushers fare if they slightly pushed away enemies with each attack

Having such a bloated HP pool, one could just have her trait be % heal on kill, or some sorta Dmg reduction vs blocked enemies

you drive me insaaaaane~

I think to make Crusher guards Unique is to: 1) Trait Change --- Can block 1 enemy, has very high attack, has very high HP and damage taken will be additive to his/her next attack (For example, if an enemy hits her with 1000 damage. She could add that 1000 damage to her next attack.)

Still waiting for the day they release the legendary AoE Defender that recruitment advertising foretold.

I wish they lean even harder on the glass cannon idea. Her S2 should make her take +100% dmg or something but in return she becomes an inter-continental missile. She should become the ultimate pressure test for your medics lol

we need Ulpianus as a 6 star crusher, abyssal buffs are the only thing that can fix the archtype

Pray to the Rng gods Gummy ends you life with 29% chance, cuz you don’t wanna be awake for what comes next 🍴😋

Why the fuck was that “have you thought of your mortality?” So out of pocket

I still E2'd her because Lupo squad is a thing now

Well, i mean, chongyue is also there for brawler guards

That mortality question is uncalled for hahahahahaha

They could give Crushers a buff at low HP so that they'll synergize well with Abjurers. It'll be nice to see two trash branches doing well together.

I think the best way to fix the archtype is to give them lifesteal or the ability to regenerate hp when killimg something, or you could also give them the ability to stack up on stats like lapluma or dusk like getting up to 50% more attack and hp when killing or attacking

What's the intro song name?

now now i think he makes a pretty good point 9:57

maybe the trait need some Dodge from psy and arts damage

I count the interview as a sketch 😋

And they say that ulpian is going to be a crusher. hopefully that doesn't happen since the guy in lore took alot of hard hits and survive

I mean, i guess you could use them in maps with enemies that deal true damage... Yet again. do the enemies really matter when they are dead?

Her e1 base skill are pretty good

Well, yeah but like, she's a Lupo so like, 7/10?

look at the bright side! at least medic is now viable again!

In RPG terms, I think crushers are like the dumb big brutes/off-tanks. I think the current trait kinda makes since cuz swinging a big weapon around would definitely hit multiple enemies. But I think it could have an added effect like a chance to stun, chance to reduce enemy atk, or chance to reduce enemy def. It makes sense that getting bonked by a literal caveman would incapacitate you in some way. This in a way would balance out their fragility by lowering enemy DPS or helping their teammates kill the enemies faster. Just a brainstorm...

Already M6, dont worry. Gummy that is, obviously

I need to know exact size and girth in the qna video. This is not a suggestion. Im in your microwave.
