Demystifying Mystic Casters - Why Mystics Are One Of The Best Archetypes in Arknights

Music Used: Half the Age of empires 2 soundtrack

[JM-nothing-more]

i thought you had edited iris' E1 art to give that bombastic eyebrow-raise, but no, that's there ingame

[NikkiTheViolist]

yeah, Mystic Casters are pretty fun, I especially like the 5-star ones

especially Delphine, actually, probably just because she has swords
Indigo was a life-saver during Stultifera Navis, though

[rw]

Everytime I see Delphine's swords animation my bodily fluids secretion and my heartbeat rate are increasing to dangerous levels. Some may say her kit has flaws, but it's a fair trade-off for being so badass.

Moral of the story: Slap a stop skill button or a charge store mechanic, Silvergun will be happy and the lower rarity economy will be flourishing

[SUPAH_SUPAH_SUPAH]

Couldn't even edge to this one, just gooned immediately

[Efra_EMX]

Delphine's DoT is really weird, but it's actually very relevant to chapter 13 since any bomb she touches at the start of her S2 is almost guarateed to reach your front door within the skill duration

[DrSilvergun]

Some sidenotes
Harmonie S2 only slows invisible enemies, it doesn't damage them. Really weird it means those are 2 seperate checks.

Delphine animations are the best Big cool looking charges that are easy to see and her S2 uses completely diffrent animations. Ebens are the worst, I hate that I can't tell how many charges he has stored at a glance, because they're so small.

Neglected to mention Iris Sleep is more useful than any other mystic CC as a defensive resource since it also stops enemies from attack, doesn't come up often because mystics have a big range imo.

Wanna pinpoint something new (imo) about mystic caster

Iris has the fastest projectile speed when full charged compared to the other 4 mystic casters (not to be confused with attack speed)

Delphine and Indigo come as a close 2nd place

Ebenholz next, and lastly Harmonie with the slowest projectile speed when her attack is full charged

(Experiment is done on CCBP#1)

[riyuke]

I like hats, so Delphine it is. (And her E2 art is amazing!)

[tiomo-jb]

i built eben a while ago but never used him, after watching your streams, i saw you consistently picking indigo and so i started picking eben and found how nice he is to use.

[Man-of-segs]

for me Indigo is also ranked higher because she can stall enemies even when she cant outright kill them. Iris' sleep has short duration, smug cat can only slow, Belle Delphine has a hat and Eben is a meme, only Indigo can do actual crowd control on top of doing pretty ok damage.

[yume]

I have no idea what you're talking about. As a simple man that wants to use Absinthe every once in a while, I love Delphine XD

[VoloPlush]

As an Ebenholz and Indigo fan, I approve this video

[yumm_]

my eyjafjalla and goldenglow filled unga bunga brain understood none of that information

[tweetug]

Finally someone glazed about my favorite class in the game.

[scorpius-yxnw]

I personally feel like mystic casters are one of the most synergistic archetypes with other operators.

Using buffs and debuffs to scale their nukes. Supporting them with other sources of damage to give them more opportunities to charge. Using crowd control to space enemies out and charge more

I'm personally looking to use Ebenholz with Shu. Eben nuke -> enemy teleports out of range -> Eben charges and nukes again

[theshadyattic]

Harmonie always felt like the perfect showcase of the archetype, only held back by her rarity limiting her stats

[Cyr.ai.]

as someone with an e2 delphine, can confirm that she has a hat

[necrofatasy]

"Eben is too pretentious to attack trash mobs." I mean he is royalty after all, can you blame him????

[BladeRabbit]

I really love how Harmonie doesnt need to store attacks to do her thing.
