Q & A

Why is it important to get the first Issue operator as soon as possible in Archonite?

Getting the first Issue operator quickly is important because it unlocks the ability to borrow support units from other players, which can significantly ease the progression for new accounts by providing additional help in missions without having to spend resources to raise them.

Why are four-star operators recommended to start with in Archonite?

Four-star operators are recommended as a starting point because they can be raised more quickly and cheaply compared to higher rarity operators. They provide a good balance between cost and effectiveness, allowing new players to progress faster and build a functional squad early on.

What is the main advantage of raising a four-star operator over a six-star operator for new players?

Raising a four-star operator is advantageous for new players because it requires less XP and LMD, the in-game currencies, compared to a six-star operator. This allows for quicker progression and resource management, which is crucial in the early stages of the game.

Why might investing in two-star or three-star operators first hinder progression in Archonite?

Investing in two-star or three-star operators first can hinder progression because they cannot get true promotion, limiting their long-term effectiveness. Additionally, they may not provide the same level of support or damage output as higher rarity operators, making missions more challenging.

What are the benefits of having a variety of operators with different rarities in Archonite?

Having a variety of operators with different rarities allows for more strategic flexibility and squad building. While higher rarity operators may have better stats and abilities, a mix of lower rarity operators can be more than sufficient for early game challenges and can be raised more cost-effectively.

Which types of operators are recommended for dealing damage in the early game of Archonite?

Guardian snipers are recommended for dealing damage in the early game due to their fast attack speed and high damage output. Specific examples include Irene, Cutter, Meteor Jessica, and May, each offering unique abilities and advantages.

What are the roles of the recommended Guardian snipers in Archonite?

The recommended Guardian snipers each have distinct roles: Irene has a large attack range and changes damage type with her skill, Cutter is a swordmaster with high damage multipliers, Meteor Jessica prioritizes drones and has a wide range, and May deals additional damage to armored enemies and can dodge attacks.

Why are casters like Click and Indigo recommended for new players in Archonite?

Casters like Click and Indigo are recommended for new players because they have straightforward mechanics and high damage potential. Click has a companion drone that doubles her damage, while Indigo has a high attack stat and the ability to hit multiple enemies with her skills.

What are the advantages of having a Vanguard operator like Ethan in your squad in Archonite?

Ethan, as a Vanguard operator, offers high damage output and the ability to focus on killing specific enemies. His talent can increase damage dealt, and his skill 2 can double his attack rate, making him a strong choice for dealing with difficult enemies.

How does the recommended Defender operator differ from traditional Defenders in Archonite?

The recommended Defender operator differs from traditional Defenders by focusing on increasing attack power and hitting multiple enemies with her skill, rather than increasing defense or AGP. This makes her a unique choice for dealing damage in addition to her defensive role.

What is the advice for players who want to raise a six-star operator immediately after getting their first Issue operator?

While it's possible to raise a six-star operator immediately after getting the first Issue, it's advised to be prepared for the resource-intensive process. Six-star operators are extremely powerful but require a significant investment in terms of time and in-game currencies.

What should players consider when choosing their first Issue operator based on the script?

Players should consider their personal preferences, the need for a quick and cost-effective progression, and the strategic value of the operator in their squad. While recommendations are provided, the ultimate choice should align with the player's enjoyment and gameplay style.

Transcripts

when you start playing archonite some

questions come to you who should I raise

first is this operator good who are the

best operators to race and those are

fair questions and they will answer them

for you today if you listen to me all

the way through you will have all the

information you need to progress with no

struggles let's begin my list of

recommendations is here but I want you

to stay and listen to why I am

recommending these operators and if you

are sad that you didn't see who you want

we will also talk about that don't worry

it's very important to get your first

issue as soon as you can since that

unlocks the ability to borrow support

units support units are operators from

other players which you can bring to

missions to help and since they are

already raised without having to spend

anything that will take a lot of

impression from your new account and you

will have a much easier time but the

level of the super Dunes is kept

depending on the highest promotion in

your current Squad so to access

operators at the highest level you'll

need that issue being so important to

get getting it too quick it makes sense

to raise a cheaper operator first do you

agree with me the sooner you have the

tea truth the sooner you gain access to

more resources and this sooner you can

raise more operators that is why there

are so many four stars in my list I

highly recommend you start with a few 4

stars not 3 stars they might be even

cheaper but they cannot get any true

promotion sure you can find use for them

but to investing in them first can

hinder your progression just a little

bit same goes for two stars in one start

four stars on the other hand will have a

weapon running in no time it costs 150k

XP and 206k lmd to e2a for styrofoam

level zero but to raise a 6 Tire it

would cost 360

000 XP and 600 000 lmd do you see the

difference can you imagine how much long

it will take for you to farm the

resources to level up a sixth time in

comparison to a 4 star and this is

ignoring the machine cereals which six

stars eat a lot more and let me get the

misconception out of the way here in

night nights different from many other

games or stars are not weak sure they

are weaker the company has to sell six

stars somehow but it will take you a

long time before that makes a real

difference what is running on the

background now is simulate game gameplay

of the only four stars for reference

what will make a difference for you in

the early game though is the amount of

operators you have raised so go for the

cheap ones and I guarantee you they will

be more than serviceable for you even

later in the game Basics covered let's

have a closer look at my recommendations

one of the first things you want is

damage so Guardian snipers are my

favorite pick they will hit fast hit

hard and cover all your basic needs for

your first Carry obviously not all

operators are made equal so to have a

nice time because tell Irene or Cutter

for guy or meteor Jessica May or pine

cone for snipers it's that was a

centurion she will hit multiple enemies

and she can also heal herself when

enemies die around her she might not

even need a medic Irene is a lord he has

a much larger hinge than usual for

Emilio operator and although he usually

deals physical damage he changes his

damage towards when using his skill

troop and he also deals extra damage to

Drums cutter is a swordmaster she hits

twice per hit and has massive

multipliers on her skills that means big

damage whenever she clicks the button

meteor Jessica and may are marked men

they prioritize drones and look over a

huge area of the range which can help

covering more than a single Lane Meet

The Arc and above enemy defense so not

only she can do more damage but anyone

who attacks with physical damage will

also do more damage Jessica has the

highest damage output of the tree and if

you want to try your luck she has a

chance to dodge enemy attacks with her

skill too many slows enemy movement with

her skills and has a chance to stand

with her skill too find cone is a spread

shooter although not as versatile far

range as the other three snipers she

deals a lot more damage inside her range

and her skills also have huge

multipliers like cutter I do not expect

you to have all these Ops but at the

very least to have Jessica because you

get her for free and also this meter I'm

showing you is just to reference this

Ops to one another I would still be a

meteor over any other sniper for example

if you don't like the face of any of

those Ops we can have a look at the

other classes nothing here is set in

stone after all and enjoying the

operator chooses a big party making

their game easier for casters click

indiegler pudding will be stronger no

matter the situation click is a make a

card don't be scared of her's mouth

attack number because the way this class

Works they basically do double damage

she has a companion drone that attacks

together with her little the same damage

as click click also has a chance to

stand the target with her skill indigo's

a Mystic Hazard a class of Massive

Attack stat and the ability to Star hits

on low enemies in range dealing multiple

hits of damage at tones when spending

the charges Indigo also has the

potential to hold difficult to enemies

in place thanks to her Talent giving her

a chance to bind putting is a chain

Caster not only she is free obtainable

from the red shop but this class can hit

4 enemies with a single hit great for

dealing with multiple and music tones as

for the other classes I would not

recommend them as they can be much more

finick at times or lacking damage but if

you really want a new Option big enough

for a Vanguard as a charger has damage

output is incredible and weakness

specific can really focus on killing the

enemy her Talent can increase the damage

dealt and her skill 2 can go as far as

doubling her attack eat them for

Specialists not the most conventional

pick but his attack is serviceable and

he has what we call through aui just

like pine cone operators like them can

hit every single enemy range which will

come in hand when you see yourself

covered in waves of enemies Ethan can

also bind the enemies buying more time

to damage them and helping if your block

count is low do not for Defender not

only she's free from the credit shop but

they're nice that Defender made for

dealing damage different from other

Defenders she doesn't increase her

defense rest or AGP she increases her

attack and can hit multiple enemies with

her skill troop she also deals out

damage repair skills but then go for a

supporter she doesn't have the highest

damage output but her skill 2 is a nice

AOE Arts damage that comes back quite

fast if you can spend a lot of it in

nomadics because we are still talking

about damage if none of these options

appeal to you I do have 5 Star

recommendations but they are lowering

the list because they cost a lot more

than 4 stars to raise and remember I am

trying to help you raise your first

stops quick for guards by big higher

scarp Lapland LA pluma perspector are

all great picks or snipers great throat

platinum and blue poison are not only

super easy to play with but have awesome

damage potential and rest of the

clock I'm here Yara I've seen rock rock

minimalist project thread casimaru

Glaucus istina or asbestos will be fine

choices as well if you really really

want to ignore my advice and go for a

six star sure you can do it and

basically enough then will be extremely

powerful at eachu but it will be a smart

decision if you're choosing up at least

capable of helping you at the one which

all four stars and 5 Stars can but not

all six stars various recommendations

that fit this condition are exercise

Arquette

Schwarz Blaze Chen Irene Mountain Palace

scadi or sorter I prefer recommending

cards and snipers because they are the

easiest two classes to play with so you

won't have a steep learning curve with

them but now for those who are sad and

didn't get the answer they wanted if you

have your wife or your husband and you

really want to play with them maybe you

even started playing the game because of

them don't hold yourself back raise them

first you will be able to enjoy your

time if you play with who you like even

if it's a magic who won't help you with

damage and don't worry if you hear

people saying the off you like is bad

because I can guarantee you you can't

play with that operator arcanite does

not have an answer that fits every

question and no operator is useless I

won't lie to you there are some

operators that need more work to

function than others but that is why you

have these recommendations if you want

an easy time pick one of them but if not

you will be fine raising whoever you

want great now we have your first issue

operator and what what comes next this

will depend a lot more on what you want

to do but my recommendations remain if

you want my opinion raise more 4 stars

at least until you have a functioning

Squad because after that resources will

be easy to acquire and you'll have stuff

saved that only the higher Rarities will

use so you will be ready to raise any

when you want and have a smoother

experience doing it but if you want to

jump on a six star after getting your

first YouTube sure to go for it the word

is yours to conquer just prepare your

heart because farming for a six star can

be very painful I also want to note I

know how their lists might sound helpful

but if you're worried too much about

them you won't learn much about the game

and you might get some holes in your

squad building so experiment and choose

your next stop based on what you feel

like you are missing instead of

following them please tell me in the

comments who you chose for your first

teacher I'd love to hear it and if I

curious about me I am Kuma and I played

this game with 4 stars and with bears

you can check my channel if you want but

I hope everyone has a very nice day

peace out
