Ulpian is such a funny operator, definitely one of the funniest they've released in quite a while.

In WD-EX-8 CM hunters 3op, https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1yi421a7Km/, he i-frames every Emperor's Blade instakill.

In H12-4 hunters 4op, https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1hi421e7b4/?t=268 at 4:30, where the Damazti Cluster does their among us sus you are the imposter instakill for dropping them below 50% on phase 2, Ulpian can just ignore it cancelling a S3 with the right timing.

(Which like, what the fuck is happening here if you try to think of this from a flavor perspective. The flavor of the instakill ability is that, it's revealed that your operator was actually a Damazti clone the whole time, so is this like, Ulpian abandoning Skadi to go to the store and pick up a pack of cigarettes, running into an imposter of himself and beating the shit out of them?)

In the ISes, if you stack enough initial +SP relics (which to be fair is pretty hard), you can just infinitely spam his S3 over and over again since each will fully refresh his SP bar.

And then in IS4 in particular, if you get Crisis Trigger on him. Well...

Ulpianus's third skill is highly unusual even among the lockpicking-enabled operators, and makes him extremely good for picking a single hard to reach door. Unlike Kafka, Goldenglow, and Wiš'adel, you don't need to worry as much about placement, because he occupies the entire line of his attack during the initial activation.

However, it has some weirdness to it. Basically, when Ulpianus activates his skill, he occupies the six squares in front of him (allowing him to break blocks in any of the seven squares in front of him), but the damage itself does not reach the full distance. The damage is an area attack with radius 1.8 centered on the first enemy (or resource node) he hits in his dash. This means that you can break walls with the following rules:

As long as there is at most one tile between his first target (be it an enemy or a resource node) and the wall, it will break. If there's a two-block gap, he can't touch it.

This means that he can be used very similarly to Kafka (and in fact breaks at the same range as her, and a little further potentially), but as he's not a fast-redeploy, he won't be able to do it more than once or maybe twice per entry into a map. However, he can break walls blocked by further gaps than her, and can potentially do some tricksy stuff Goldenglow and Wishie can't, so it's definitely worth keeping in mind if you have him.

(Thank you @hero-king-baybe for the recordings! I don't have Ulpianus, so him getting this footage was very helpful.)

HEY. 🫵

I wrote a fanfic about the Doctor and Ulpianus being a little gay. Maybe you like it. (Potential Spoilers for Path of Life)

Imma be real: y'all prolly won't hear from me for the rest of the week (aside from me posting screenshots from HSR and Arknights)

So I have online autism therapy and my therapist knows I LOVE ak a little to much.

Today my mom went to me and said I got a small package with my name on it from the autism therapy center. I open it.

I see a super cute folder with a lot of drawings and advice to calm down during a panic attack since I get them a lot. But. What I saw underneath the outstanding folder cover shocked me.

She took someone's ak gacha pull and made it a image and I think the funniest part is that right before my mom gave me this package i was like "agghh I really want him" after seeing him on smth. Suddenly 2x ulpianus in a gacha pull are now on my autism folder and I've been giggling sm about it. Jokes aside I am still happy she thought of me and even put anything ak related there. Best therapist I ever had.

Video Title: Ulpianus Soloing all bosses! (with AH squad behind him)

me: I prefer the Tachanka version (this guy has been doing buff army Tachanka boss clears for ages, channel is AcELord on yt)

[moszeel]

Here’s Mr Ulpianus I guess. Alt version with his anchor under the cut:

I kinda gave up with the anchor cause I felt like it was covering a bunch of details and made the torso area look too crowded

So long as you are "Skadi", then I am also your Captain.

Summary:

Seaborn flesh is hard-coded to yearn for its own. So is human. The hybrids thereof have been aware of this problem since the beginning of the Abyssal Hunter program. Weeks into working with the Last Knight and five years since the last touch of a hunter, Ulpianus is losing his sanity to the point where the most outrageous methods start to sound enticing. He is not the only one. _____ Celebrate playable Ulpipi by reading of him getting tentacle railed.

May none of you be welcome but all of you bound by blood. And tentacles.

So some Ulpianus thoughts as I go through his kit and do some of the math out

-Base statistics wise, he's extremely similar to Hoederer, having slightly more HP in exchange for very slightly less ATK -This of course doesn't matter once he gets stacks of his talent going. At 10 stacks, he'll have the highest HP and ATK of any Crusher in the game (even outpacing Wind Chimes with her Vigor buff) -Regaining 100 HP when hit, and 160 HP when under 50% HP, is actually probably not enough on its own to really keep Ulpianus alive through sustained damage. It is very good against damage over time effects though, with the possible exception of Zaaro's curse which is very funny

-S1 looks pretty okay. It's notable for being a Pull in an entire class who does not have one, and it's a pretty beefy attack scale on an ATK stat that can almost be 2000. I'm not sure this ends up being a viable portion of kit in most situations, especially since his other two skills seem generally better. -S2 looks...interesting. I'm not actually sure this skill is "good", at least in part because of its massive 70 SP cost. This can be reduced significantly (to about 47 SP) through Unchained's PUM-Y module, but 47 seconds is still a long time for what is supposed to be a lane holder. While the skill is up though, it is quite powerful, especially since it increases the healing from his talent to 200/320 per hit, but 3 Block is also really risky on a Crusher. Hoederer's S2 also suffers from this issue. -S3 is just good. A frankly disgustingly high ATK buff on top of a scaling attack buff means that anything he hits in his initial blast is probably capital F Fucked and he'll take advantage of the six second stun to get two more additional hits in, adding in that the range on this skill is long, let's him be proactive in lane holding, and potentially even allows him to hold two lanes at once is bonkers. 17s charge time with PUM-Y btw.

We probably should talk about the hunter buffs btw, because Ulpianus arguably benefits the most out of any Hunter with them.

-Gladiia: On her own, Gladiia provides a 237.02 HP/s Regen buff to Ulpianus thanks to his titanic HP stat, which increases to 279.02 HP/s with his talent stack maxed out. That's just generically hefty as an regen in general, especially since its healing effectiveness cannot be reduced in any way. The 30%...psuedo-Sanctuary (does Sanctuary actually stack with Gladiia's module?) is also rather incredible for him, being a huge HP buff inherently and making his HP gain talent even stronger. -Andreana: 22 ASPD matters the absolute most to Ulpianus thanks to his titanically long attack interval, reducing it from 2.5 seconds to ~2.05 seconds. In addition, Andreana benefits the most from the 600 Max HP Ulpianus can give her thanks to her low base HP. -Skadi: +24% ATK and +20% Max HP on the Abyssal Hunter with the highest ATK and HP of any class in the game. Easy. Honestly maybe we should have seen the Crusher class coming. Worth noting though that the ATK buff is extremely diluted once his skills are up, however. -Specter: 5% extra damage is honestly fairly good for him. On one hand, his ATK stat gets so high it probably isn't super distinguishable from ATK buffs in terms of effect, but during skill, this buff won't get diluted either. -Specter the Unchained: Maybe the biggest partner for Ulpianus outside of Gladiia, because he really wants the extra SP per second she gives, especially for S2.

In total, what does Ulpianus look like with all the Abyssal Hunter buffs?

HP: 10,158 (11,358 with his Talent) ATK: 2,100.56 (2,400.56 with his Talent) HP Regen: 355.53 HP/s (397.53 HP/s with his Talent)

This is just at base too. While the ATK and HP buffs do end up diluted from his own skill buffs, just looking at his stats while his S2 is up:

HP: 14,221.2 (15,421.2 with his Talent) ATK: 4,810.96 (5,110.95 with his Talent) HP Regen: 497.742 HP/s (539.742 HP/s with his Talent)

So...is Ulpianus good? If you're using him in Abyssal Hunters, definitely, and honestly he's disgustingly good looking there. But outside of that remains to be seen. I think his S3 in general is just so strong that there's a very good chance he remains a good, usable operator outside of his niche, just like all the Abyssal Hunters.
