Precisely.

As usual, lolix has no concept of what the word "useless" means. Just because you need more upkeep on her doesn't mean she can't be useful. "Wasteful" would be a more legitimate term, but there are worse things to waste resources on. Like Azami.

Hina would be worth leveling regardless, though.

to be fair i said from the start that she has her uses , but let's be honest , u don't need her (especially the awakened version of her) to finish this event. And if u can do the same map with a cheaper unit , why the hell is she even in your team instead of a reserve healer/duelist/archer/whatever ?


Literally the only maps where you need ninjas are the maps that have limited ranged slots , and u really need ranged dps. Or some sort of mobs where you might want ranged assasination , but other then that , i don't see many uses for saki. My saki (cc80 , maxed , not aw) has literally seen the main team 3-4 times....and half of those were just to test her.



AGAIN , I REPEAT MYSELF , saki has her usage , and she is not a complete waste of resources , but she shouldn't be a priority unit , and aquired only if you have extra resources. I for one , still didn't gotten a saki for my second acount , because on my first 1, i found her useless.

If you actually took the time to pay the fuck attention to what I'm saying, the main issue I have is with your terminology (and your inherent dislike for ninjas, apparently). I don't give two shits about your opinion on the unit.

The fact is, if there are situations where she can be useful, she is by definition NOT USELESS, and your constant need to discourage people from using her is blatant disregard of how there's more than one way to play the damn game.

Though even when you're downplaying her strengths, you still manage to be wrong. It's amusing how you act like we haven't had several maps that had limited ranged slots for months now. There were maps with no more than three ranged slots as far back as Solano's event. You gonna tell me someone like Saki wasn't worth having around for those maps?

Mikoto is my best panic button aha

Just awaken a DPS and iris or Camilla. And you're golden for days, Katie is also good for the passive and she becomes a somewhat decent blocker

lets not forget about awakened spica. Increases damage to all archers , and gets bonus damage to fliers , which is great for farming the x and g maps for more dcs. There are a crapload of units that i'd rather awaken first before buying a saki. That was exactly my point. If ill ever have extra , then sure , ill go for her , but i wouldn't recomant a saki to newbies , unless they really really need a ranged on melee slot

except even if they need a ranged on a melee slot, you wouldn't recommend saki to them either. that was the problem. you could've said she's not necessary for one who has a ranged melee alternative, but you didn't. you literally assumed everyone has access to a good ranged melee already and therefore saki is unnecessary and therefore you can jump straight to AW'ing units without getting saki (after getting spica. spica is a priority, period)

spica is probably a priority even if they need a ranged on melee spot.That's the issue with god damn saki. Like seriously , i've done the shitiest maps that were without/very few ranged slots where a ninja would have helped a lot , without them, even before charlotte;s event, with multiple duelists and/or archers/aoe. Hell , for solanos and horace there were maps that could have been easier with ranged on melee , but i still did it without her , and still got perfect units. Saki is in no way a god damn priority. SHe's good to have if you do want a ranged on melee and you have the dcs for her. If you're a newbie low on dc's , don't bother getting her first. Get a god damn spica and even awaken her long before you even decide to get saki. ANd even then , you might find a better use for those dc seing as we're getting harder and harder maps that require awakenings of healers , or tanks , or of duelists.

lolix what are you 2 main dps ranged slots?

We're arguing against your use of the word "useless" because your entire argument has been contingent on some weird mistaken notion that everyone has access to some better free replacement for Saki. That is not the case. Viera does not replace Saki. Ricardo sure as hell does not replace Saki. Actual ranged units are not always an option. Even if you had Azami, Saki is flat out better.

Don't try to shift the blame of your poor choice of words when your whole argument is shit.

Side note, there is something ridiculously amusing about how you failed to 3* one of the easiest G maps.
