 Hey everyone, welcome to Alchemy Stars. So this is just a discussion of what I have read comments everywhere about both of these banners. Most are not pulling for them. I really understand that you guys are preparing for the anniversary event which is happening probably a month from now or less even. So I really understand what is the reason why I'm not pulling for these banners and also the other reason is how risky their kits are because of the sanity system. But I will tell you guys right now the upside of using them is big versus the downside in terms of risk. I already was able to play TeslaNorm. I'm going to showcase her in a different video on how to use her, what is her damage, how big is it and all those things. Also Giles or Giles, I'm going to showcase everything here and also I'm going to be showcasing bringing them both in a team. So I'm going to go over the sanity system for those who you know for those who do not or are not familiar with the sanity system. MaxSanity is a 100. So when either of them or both Giles and Lenore are in a team, either both or either one of them, there is a sanity system. So when a sanity is 0, 1% of the teams HP will be substituted by a sanity point. So at 100 they're calm, they are still sane. Okay, when somebody pisses them off at 99 to 80, ally units receive one stack of poison at the start of each round. Okay, so hear me out, team defense drops by, drops by 10%, not drops to 10%. Okay, it drops, your total drops by 10%. So less 10%, not the 10%. So that's now how it is. Okay, so at 79 to 50, if somebody pisses them off more, all enemy units are subject to the above. So this is the only plus side to the sanity system because all enemies do get the stack of poison and their defense also drops by 10%. Okay, so that is the upside. At 49 to 20, a mirage appears randomly at the start of each round. Mostly the mirage is usually just a nuisance. Small damages, not really big damage to you. They can be ignored, but not ignored for long. At 19 to 1, when they're so pissed off that they want to punch you already, ally units gain four more stacks of poison at the start of each round. Healing effects reduce to 20%. But this is where it gets really, really, really iffy and you should have a counter to this one. So we'll discuss that further and I'm not going to discuss it here, I'm just going to discuss why I summoned for them. At zero insane state, when they go crazy, all aurean defense is reduced to 10%. So this is where it goes to only 10%. Okay, so this is the sanity system. The risk involved in using this with them for me is about, if you want to weigh, you know, 10%, this is roughly around, I'm going to be generous with my estimate, a 70 to 80% risk. Okay, no, no, no, not the other way. It's a 30 to 40, sorry, it's a 20 to 30% risk. So because it is more or less also balanced by the reward. So the risk is small at between 20 to 30% because the rewards are also good. Again, the kit, I won't be explaining their kit, I'll be explaining them in my analysis for each of them and my showcase for each of them. But that is just my opinion. So you might have a different opinion. Please put them down in the comment section below. If you think that 20 to 30 is small, what you think is the risk that you're taking by, you know, by taking them because again, I really already have a team in mind on how to construct them. It's just that they have to be more or less at ascension three and also at level 80 to test out. Okay, so this is the sanity system. I just want to show you guys Giles or Giles, because I already announced this that I got him. I didn't put out a summoned video for him because I got him in 10 single pulls, not one 10 pull, 10 single pulls, him being the last 10 pull. So this is just my luck that I really, really, you know, high on luck with during the time that I got him. And I'm not really, not really disappointed why I got him. It was at the back of my mind, the first time I got Lenore, I told myself, what if I paired the both of them? I need Giles in that team. I'm really excited for that one. That is why I summoned for Giles as well. Okay, so I really like the challenge of building around the both of them. It's really, it takes me back to the days where I was playing Magic the Gathering and I had to play with weird cards that doesn't seem to fit. But eventually, if somebody makes a deck out of them, they would be very popular. So I'm building on that premise wherein I think they are hidden gems that we don't realize yet now, but eventually we will. So that is why I'm really, really pushing for them. Also, I'd like to challenge the meta. If right now the meta is really established already after nearly a year, I'd like to challenge the meta with the both of them, with using the both of them. Okay. And also, I'd like to share the prototypes with you guys as well. So if I've had a team, made them work, I'd like to share it with you and probably you could appreciate it as well and use it. Okay, so I mentioned already that there's potential in bringing both of them in one team. So more or less, they're going to be ridiculous based on what I'm seeing from both of their kits. You can use them both in one team. They're going to use the same sanity system. And to really enhance their potential, you should lower down their sanity to zero more or less. Okay. So also, they're playable at one copy. Like for example, for Lenore, you don't need a preemptive strike. Both of them are preemptive strike for Lenore. Her active skill is a cooldown of one for for Giles, it's going to be zero. So again, a lot of firepower there, I tell you, it's just that you just have to build a team around them, not just put somebody or someone, you know, just because you want to put a team around them. Okay. My view of Lenore is she can rival Yao and Arya for damage. I've seen the damage that level 56 Arya can do versus my sorry, level 56 Lenore can do versus Arya and it's going to be, you know, nearly there nearly nearly there. I'll you know, I'll showcase that in a different video so that we could really talk about Lenore on really how to maximize her. So again, potential is also big for Lenore. Again, she can rival Yao and Arya. I'm just going to show you guys me Arya. She's already maxed out. So equipment is maxed out here and the breakthrough is also maxed out. So I've seen the result of the damage output and I think it's promising for Lenore for Mr. Giles or Giles or is he for this guy? I think he's the best sniper around for fire. Fire badly needed a sniper and we got him and he's bunkers. Both of them are not, I'm not saying both of them are OP. They are very good, not OP, but at this point they are going to be either good or very good. So Giles or Giles is actually better, has more potential than Lenore in terms of building either one of them or both of them. So if you're asking me who you want to prioritize, if you're still thinking of pulling for both of them, I think Giles is going to be the way to go when if you really are choosing between Giles and Lenore. Okay, so for those of you guys who have pulled from either of them, I think you made the right decision. Right now, right now. Moving forward, hopefully they add to the sanity mechanic and add more aurorians to this. I enjoy working, building a team around them and going to build a team around them. So again, for those who have comments, put them down in the comment section below whether you'd agree with me or disagree with me in terms of how big of a potential they are and how, you know, how they will change probably some of the meta. Who knows? So put it down in the comment section below, agree or disagree. Honestly, I'm not worried about the anniversary. So if there are an event, there's an event and then a new unit, very good. I'll cross the bridge when I get there. At this point, I'm not really worried. Cross the bridge, then we'll see what happens during the anniversary. I don't want to regret, you know, because when you're there in the anniversary ready, you might regret not pulling for this. Otherwise, for this one, when you're at the anniversary, when you pulled already, you can still remedy the anniversary. Obviously, if you want to pull first, you know, for a unit there, you have to spend. If you don't have any savings like me, my Lumamber is 434 and I am really suffering from, you know, from all of the pulls. But I am happy that I pulled for the both of them. Okay, so that is it. Again, guys, let's discuss, put them down, all your comments, all your questions. Let's do this. And for those who are here, please do consider subscribing to my channel because this helps me a lot. And always for those who have supported me, thank you very much. I'm at 4100. For those who are, you know, for those who are playing alchemy stars, I know I'm new to this game, but I will give you a different perspective aside from the meta. That is what I'll give you from my channel. So thank you very much, guys. Take care. Stay safe. This is The Warden and I'm out of here.
