 back to another counter side episode today's episode we're going to be featuring Janus's strategy and build but before that if you wouldn't update it counter side videos please hit the subscribe button down below okay guys we are here right now featuring Janus future at war so Janus is actually a breath of fresh air since we've had a lot of awakened units so far counters and a little soldier in mech new releases recently so he is one of I think it's going to you know give us a new perspective on on PvE and on PvP as well so Janus is actually an SSR so he is a Ranger air type and he also dishes out an all-around attack okay so let's take a look at the stats for Janus as you can see here Janus has strengths a lot of strengths but don't be fooled because once he transforms into a defender he actually reverses some of those stats okay so right now as a you know as regular stats his strengths would be his HP which is above average at 45 4 4 2 attack is also a strength at 5 7 4 5 his defense is also high which is his strength as well at 21 26 and his crit is going to be one of his strength or last Trent which is above average his weakness actually is going to be evasion which is going to be obvious for mechs and hit rate is also below average which is not that bad can be you know can be mediated by gears so let's take a look at Janus's skills guys okay so when I told you that to let's say don't you know make a fuzz about his strengths because his strengths actually some of them drop down in whichever form he is in so let's take a look at his skill info and his basic skill which is his basic attack it's an AoE which has valid hits of 2 fires an energy cannon inflicting AoE damage on and around its target after transformation which transforms into a defender swings its enemy energy arms instead of inflicting AoE damage in front okay so basic attack maximum of a plus 20 up to level 5 okay passive actually gets interesting so let's talk about his first passive which is combat conversion system to activates its transformation system in case of emergency when deployed its defense is decreased by 90% so as you can see I told you guys even if his stat was was way up once is deployed he is still a ranger so his defense would naturally be below so it's it's going to only be 10% of what you saw or what is your existing main stat so when HP when it's HP drops to 50% or lower however transforms into a ground you ground defender with full defense he you know he recovers 90% but 50% lower attack and crit so again there's a lot of things you have to play out in terms of using Janus as his passive level 234 crit will be increased up to plus 20% and level 5 after transformation attack and crit is only a minus 30 instead of minus 50 so this is his first passive so again gears later will discuss on the appropriate gears in which which is for me is I think his most what is most suitable suitable for him whether it be on attack mode or in defense mode okay next would be his special skill which is Caliders arms it's an 18 second cooldown with valid hits of three fires a high powered energy beam inflicting a way damage on on and around its target after transformation choose an energy sword inflicting a way damage in front and forcing the enemies to attack it for five seconds which is actually not bad so again I'm actually tempted to discuss gears now but let's let's talk about it later so level 234 damage is going to be 25% additional for this skill and cooldown is a minus four seconds which will bring the cooldown to a good 14 seconds okay so the last one which is passive is janitor mode booster OS upon transformation cast a barrier equal to 50% of max HP and becomes immune to hit stun and special special or lower skills for this buyers duration so levels 234 this is going to be a plus 20% and for level 5 for buyer duration damage taken is going to be a minus 30% from Rangers and immunity to hit stun so he's going to be a good counter for Rangers once he hits defender mode but again we'll talk about his gear right now is to see if what are the most suitable gear for him okay guys as you can see here I was able to pull for Janus never mind the video I'll go straight to what happened I did pity Janus so that's it so I was not actually in the mood of recording polls so I did pull but eventually had to pity him so again I think it's okay because I had to burn my luck here in you know in one of the polls eventually because I've had good luck before and so far so this is actually one of my most bad polls to pity a SSR so as you can see guys in terms of his gear there are actually two types of gear sets that I would recommend whether you go with first we go with attack so if you go with attack I would recommend you put on a CDR gear set so that you could you could spam his special skill because again the cooldown for that is actually low but you could actually lower it and spam that skill and once he turns into a defender he would actually do more taunts because of that because of the special skill so I'm putting here CDR gear if you want to have him in a more tank here mode definitely go with HP because HP is going to be is going to have a big plus for her for his ultimate so those are the two gear sets for stats obviously go with CDR go with HP or actually go with hit so those are because hit is going to be below average it needs a little bit of a boost so might as well if you have you know if you consider if you want to consider the yellow part of the stats so let's open one so this part you want to change that again either CDR skill haste HP or you can change that to hit because again he needs hit stats so as you can see here I have hit in this gear I'm sure you guys have plenty of cooldown sets for mechs I'm sure you've saved up the radius so that is why I have completed his cooldown set because I have a lot of again very good very good cooldown sets this one has hit as well so might as well put hit on him because he needs that below average stat for hit to be up but for tier six gears if you have tier six might as well go again with the maize set or gorgeous crown set so anti ground damage resistance for maize it's usually for his weapon and for the accessories gorgeous crown is going to be more focused on hit which actually he needs so those are my tier six recommendations and it's a good thing that he was actually out because mechs really need a lot of reinforcement because again the meta is in PVP special is actually going crazy with a lot of awakens running around and let's go to his deployment guys okay so we are here in his deployment strategy preferably you deploy Janus right after you've deployed tanks in front so that you know he could at least survive more as a rager form so let's try to try to deploy Janus here try to summon ground and air units so again he really fires just a small burst so as for his special so that's it it's like a small photon torpedo which he fires he fires actually I think twice one oh no it's only once so again spammy skill he has at he actually has a slow attack speed it's better that that you actually take advantage of his special skill through CDR and I hope I could lower his HP so that he could transform see at this point I'm not sure if we can lower his HP and let him transform but again he's a good support support to start as a ranger then eventually mid game if he falls down he is a defender which has which has provoke or taunt which you know makes your enemies attack him so he's actually an overall utility a good addition to your mech team okay guys so my final thoughts for Janus so again a fresh you know addition to mechs well really well well timed addition because again the mechs need really a lot of love and reinforcement for PvP this guy is going to be insane we're paired with coffin 6 so we still have to you know wait for coffin 6 coffin 6 by the way is a ship and more or less for PvE once also shadow palace arrives this guy will be good as well but for now if you're if you're bringing mech teams and you need a reinforcement this is actually a must someone for you okay guys so so far we have discussed a lot with Janus I for those who have not yet pulled for Janus hope you have more luck in your pulls than I did and for those who have stuck this far this video hopefully that you would consider subscribing and also click that bell icon you don't miss any countersight videos thank you guys stay safe take care this is the warden and I'm out of here
