Ejia alt best skill?

Fucking, all of them.

The right answer is S3 because it's what you'd usually think is a burst skill except it lasts 50 entire whole seconds and it gives her global range, machine gun 5-instance heals with individually reduced, altogether MUCH stronger output, jacked buffs for Max HP and Elemental DMG reduction, and it basically exists on a 60 SP cooldown at M3. Even if you're not dealing with Elemental Damage, this still just raw outheals most damage the game can throw at you that isn't an outright one hit kill against any given unit.

The correct answer is that all three of her skills are absolutely goofy goober-tier overtuned. After S3, you want to master S1, which is a permanent buff once it goes active that gives a minor ATK buff, multitarget (2 units at once), and whenever she heals someone, EVERYONE in range gets a minor Elemental DMG heal. 60 SP activation at M3.

And if you think I left S2 for last because it's not good, think again, S2 is the last thing you want to Master because it's god damn broken even at SL7. You don't NEED to Master this one for it to be e-sports. Being able to give characters a 650% of her ATK barrier against Elemental Damage for 14 whole seconds is very much enough to tank pretty much every possible existent instance of Elemental Damage in the game possibly maybe barring very High Waves Ubi Bona Somnia flowerstacks or Phase 2 Highmore soloblasts, and if none of those words make sense to you, then you don't need to worry about any case use of something stronger than SL7. There IS a point to M3ing this skill, though: At M3, S2 has a 20 SP cooldown and the barriers last 20 seconds. So, uh, you can just have 100% upkeep on 900% ATK barriers. In case you ever feel like Not Having To Ever Deal With Elemental Damage Ever Again, Period.

Skills aside, keep in mind Eyjaberry the Holungday is a Wandering Medic so she enjoys god-tier range making positioning very easy, also her heals all leave a small regen (HP and Elemental DMG) effect that can stack up to three times per character, and if you're in range, you have Max HP+ and Elemental DMG reduction, so basically, yeah, summer unit goofy goober overtuning strikes once again, healer edition. About her only weaknesses are that S3 has a 60 SP cooldown timer so you may have a gap in its use, which would be an issue if you didn't have 11 more slots in your squad to do stuff during that minute.

Decided to do another Arknights tier list for old times' sake.

I am so out of the loop with the newer Operators...

i am still consistantly so mad about Hortus de Escapismo. sure i haven't read it but i have like. no interest to. you know how bad you have to fuck it in order for me to not care?? reaper is my favorite class of operator and laterano is my favorite story arc. somehow you managed to follow up on the only uninteresting plot thread in laterano and then made the 6* reaper an alter for the most boring man in the game. how did you manage this

[alkalische]

After hearing the Executor Alter rumours, I'm once again reminded of the incredibly funny story of how Ch'en managed to powercreep Executor in literally every way in what i assumed to be a direct, targeted attack by the folks over at hypergryph

Starting off with gameplay comparisons-

Executor's a 5 star spreadshooter?

Well, Holungday is a 6 star spreadshooter, with higher stats and TWO talents. And also live 2D.

Executor gets to choose between a big attack buff (s1) or double hitting (s2)?

Ch'en gets BOTH of those things, plus a big FUCK YOU defense and movement speed debuff (s3).

The def debuff is also higher than the amount of def ignore that Executor gets from his talent, and it's also a debuff, which means surrounding allies can benefit from it. So, y'know, better than him in every single way.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. This also extends to their base skills.

Executor's base skill makes it such that all sniper training speed is improved by +30%.

WELL, Holungday's base skill has that +30% increase, but also an ADDITIONAL effect of increasing it by +65% if upgrading to M1.

'It's alright,' you might say. 'Both of Holungday's base skill slots are for the training room. There's no way Executor's boring control center skill can be touched, right?"

THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG. Base Ch'en has that, as well as an additional effect that stacks with other LGD operators in the control center. While not particular a significant or useful buff, it's still an upgrade.

(1/2)

I have a question about Ch'en Alter

What was the controversy? I took a hiatus from the game and missed the event's original run, so I'm a little lost on what happened.

i went into so much detail again about how much eyja has affected me in a positive way
