So Past Scarlet for NY and the half year anniversary is in April/May right? Wonder if we'll get Past Rapunzel in February/March then.
Basically a new pilgrim every 2 months.

Honestly even before that, the Nier and Summer events felt close too. I remember when they had no characters worth pulling for months.
I'm happy its a unit and not a skin for Scarlet, we'll see if this continues the power creep Red Hood started.
I hope we're not starting a trend of lots of Pilgrims or characters on that level in a short amount of time, hopefully after this we get a break to some degree. I just want an opportunity to build up some of the characters I already have.

I hope no one is actually expecting RH to be the norm. Can't wait for the next "drama" because Scarlet: BS isn't on RH's level.
I kinda think they are now in that hole, at least with Pilgrims.
Yeah, there's no putting that genie back in the bottle at this point.
We're to the point where they're going to start implementing elemental fights. Like my team is perfect. I have no room for anything else. Sure I can make second and third teams for raids and PVP, but honestly it's not worth wasting resources on them at the moment.
They'll introduce rotating elemental fights and a new gear slot item that only drops from elemental fights. It's only a matter of time.

Do you have to be into tower defense to get the most out of Arknights or is it pretty streamlined/approachable?

I'll say its fairly approachable, but at the same time Arknights doesn't really play like a traditional tower defense (where you plonk down towers and wait for the enemies to come to you) especially later on. Since your "towers" are actually people, sometimes you need to shuffle them around to beat the stage. Compare these two different ways of clearing the same stage.

The 2nd video is just someone showing off by only having one unit on the field at any one time. You can do a lot of things if you have the imagination and the skill.
The gameplay is not for everybody, I know a number of people here who bounced off the game, and a number who absolutely love it. The story is also pretty good, but might involve a lot of reading, which some people also dislike. But like most gacha's, its free to start, so feel free to give it a try. Global's 4th Anni is in Jan with some extra goodies (if you are the rerolling sort), but due to schedule issues from CN, we usually end up getting the CN summer banner as the anniversary unit instead.

Wow, they're actually doing a full blown Modernia rerun.
I don't typically enjoy tower defense and only started Arknights because of the art but now I can say that its gameplay is one of my favorites among all gachas I've played and I've seen quite a few people having similar experience with the game.
What makes it addicting is how smart it makes you feel once you clear a difficult stages but then also feeling super dumb seeing people on youtube clearing with like half the number of units and those units are all 1-3* f2p units while you struggled with a team 6* meta units. Then you understand the game more from seeing that and keep improving your own strats and having more fun with the game.
It's also kinda refreshing to have a game that don't keep you grinding to get marginal boost in stats from rng gears to clear difficult contents. You just have to level up your characters and their skill and that's it. You don't even have to chase meta units because the game is balanced around F2P units. If you're struggling with a stage, you just need a new approach in your strats rather than go back go grinding. It's also nice to know that even if you suck at the game, you can always rely on a guide to get a clear.
Arknights also has one of the most interesting worlds I've experienced in gaming, gacha or not. You really need to take your time with it though because there's a lot of reading and the earlier stuffs are not really that exciting.
Modernia and new Scarlet, gonna be rough on people unless you're sitting on a lot of gold tickets.
Update notes are out.
Scarlet is a wind attacker. Weapon is a rocket launcher.
New costumes are for Noise (gacha), Guillotine (Jan mission pass) and Liter (special mission pass).

While I already got Noah twice and therefore wouldn't need a designated Burst II for the Pilgrim Tower, it would be nice to have more Burst II options for general teambuilding, so I'm hoping they fought the urge to make Jetstream Scarlet yet another Burst III unit.
A Wind B2 would be interesting because she'd be fighting against Blanc in a wind team and the bunnies are almost always paired with Modernia so unless she's really strong I just don't see it. She's probably another B3.
As a newer player, the step-up selector (6.1 k Crystals) seems much more interesting than the 2 Pilgrims. It would depend on who's in it (they mentioned no pilgrims or limited units), but getting a Blanc to complement my Noir or MLBing a char (to help break 160 wall) seems like a pretty good use of those crystals.
Pilgrim-wise, I don't even have enough T9M gear for Red Hood, let alone a new attacker. A B2 so I can field a full Pilgrim Tower team would be great though.

If the selector has a good roster I might bite and get Dolla, it's the only CDR unit I'm missing and should help me in solo raids
Already having Dolla yet not having invested much into her just yet, it seems I should look into her meta benefits more.
The good thing about her is that she doesn't need much investment (no overload necessary) and her skills don't scale too well so 4-4-4 is more than enough

I didn't realize that Blue Archive's summer event (lol) wouldn't have any maintenance and it's already up.
Gonna skip the banners because I'd rather pull on the next batch of summer banners.
I've been in a slump with gachas, which is probably a good thing lol. Really only care about BA and Star Rail, although I'm coming back to Granblue for rolls and because the fighting game is rekindling my fondness for the characters and world.
Looking forward to the Atelier gacha though. I've really gotten into the series this year.

Uh oh, global players having their Dragon Quest Tact subscriptions cancelled. Could be nothing, but probably something
DQ Tact shutting down just as I was getting back into it… :/ *sigh*
Gacha games are really a waste. All the time and energy just gone.
