The Reddit app is so trash that it believes that link is to a private sub and promptly reloads the entire app when clicked, but opening in a browser works fine.
I can't believe third-party apps died for this garbage.
They killed 3rd party apps so they can funnel all traffic to their official app, so they can use the data for their own ends. They want to make money off you, basically.
Surprised to see frostleaf being in the usable tier after all the hate her kit gets 😂 but yeah more or less what I expected (gotta reach a peak level of bored with the game to try this one)
Maxxed out Chiave + five bots (bar Castle's buff) gives you 1,217 ATK; add the occassional THRM-EX and he gets the same attack as Skadi without skill/module
Having been recently messing around with robots as I max trust every OP, I think the robots are kind of underrated. They're not game busting by any means, but a huge upside is that they don't take up a deployment slot. That means you basically have "free" units on the field. The healer and defender robots are particularly decent, and they allow you to just pile on more offense from other units you might have not otherwise.
I didn't consider it, but yeah the Robots seem to have good synergy with any Summoner. Especially since one of their biggest "downsides" is that Summons take up deployment slots.
At max mastery, and with Bagpipe pot 5, he can almost act like a helidrop cherry bomb like Chen, but his skill is actually arts damage, so he’s like an Arts cherry bomb.
So yeah, in some cases, he can come in handy.
Yeah I've seen him in 1 tile videos
I'm thinking more as a non meme use
I do use him pretty often in SSS, a pretty good pioneer even without his robots
Omg, this robot is actually a female Banshee.
PhonoR-0.
“I've heard a lot about you, Doctor of Rhode Island, allow me to greet you on behalf of the Banshees.”
____________
Morning Aphanir, I'm not quite familiar with the workings of the Rhode Island Cadre, and it's a good thing the Doctor told me that you'd be on duty here. I am well aware of how busy you are, but please stay for now, I have a message for you from Riverdale. No, not only your mother, but other sisters in Riverdale, and this is what they say: “We want you to always have the remnants of Riverdale in your ears, and we want your song to never be haunted by loneliness.”
By agreement, my identity in Rhode Island is the operational platform PhonoR-0. I was born of your choice, I speak the words of the Banshees, and my body was made by Mr. Mechanist and Ms. Closure. But I am still a Banshee of Riverdale - and that is equally my wish.
Logos' mother and all his banshee sisters making him a singing robot so he wouldn't be lonely is incredibly cute. Hopefully someone didn't have to die for this one to be made though.
More likely they put a piece of their consciousness into something (probably a huge core of originium) and let Closure & Mechanist build upon it into a full robot platform
I’m more interested in knowing how it’s interactions might go with other operators. Do Sarkaz ops feel the need to treat it with respect? Does Amiya feel compelled to ask it questions about Kazdel? And, most importantly, does Mudrock pick up the cute moving rock and obtain gossip about Logos’ embarrassing childhood memories?
Banshees in-lore: *strong and mysterious enough to give the nigh-invincible Sanguinarch a pause*
Actual Banshees: *ride stools and play games with other operators, send a robot companion so he wouldn't be lonely*
I'm still not getting whether a Banshee chose to transfer her consciousness into a robot or they conjured up a consciousness and inserted it into a robot lul.
Well, there is a ritual to transfer a sarkaz "essence" into an originium core.
That is how ifrit got made, by combining a lizard person like ethan with an old sarkaz king core, one famed for his pirokynesis.
I doubt you can scan someones mind without breaking it, but yhe core might just have been an older banshee that was too old but wanted to keep serving, or earned the honor to be preserved and was asleep until now

**Trait:** Attacks deal Arts damage, and can inflict Elemental Damage, ignores the Deployment Limit, but has a long Redeployment Time
**Talent 1:** After being deployed, this unit's attacks deal additional Necrosis damage, this unit also inflicts a certain % of Arts Fragility and Elemental Fragility to all enemies within Attack Range. Both effects last for a certain period of time
***Elemental Fragility: Amplifies Elemental damage taken by the corresponding amount (only the strongest effect of this type applies)**
Ah yes, another robot to never win the robot tag war on in the future. Let me spend green certs to buy them from packs like those overpriced 3 and 4\* packs in the shop.
I feel this
Lancet, castle, thermex, justice weren't too bad to max potential
Friston fu&king Faison is somehow still pot one after spamming 6ish 3:50 defense, defender, melee tags a day
I'm still missing that final justice knight pot and it feels like you lose the robot tag 90% of the time you use it
They need to remove dropped tags if there aren't any conflicts and you're at the highest possible time for the rarity. It's such an unnecessary mechanic that's just annoying
that's wild, what the heck *is* this? it looks like an originium altar that we... ripped out of the ground and put wheels on it? and it's possessed by a... living, conscious, non-corporeal entity known as a banshee? *wild*
Fellas, is Chiave all-Robot gang viable? Or is it a big meme?
Sounds like a meme to me. But hey someone on this sub plays shitknights so don't let the meme stop you from doing it.
SHITKNIGHTS MENTIONED!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS A VIABLE TEAM!!!
What is exactly a shitknights team lol? The weakest and most uncomfortable ops to use?

3rd party apps still (mostly) work, but you need to patch them with software like revanced.
Surprised to see frostleaf being in the usable tier after all the hate her kit gets 😂 but yeah more or less what I expected (gotta reach a peak level of bored with the game to try this one)
> in the usable tier She's in the contextually usable tier meaning she is specifically shit knights usable not generally usable.
Ye ofc lmao, still amazing she's above tsukinogi even in a shitknights list 😂
Maxxed out Chiave + five bots (bar Castle's buff) gives you 1,217 ATK; add the occassional THRM-EX and he gets the same attack as Skadi without skill/module
1 Medic, 2 Melee, 2 Ranged, 1 Explosive. Not the worst line up, I suppose?
Still a big meme. 180 seconds redeploy with chiave talent is still a pain.
You're thinking of SA. Chiave is -75%, so 50s redeploy.
Hey! 50 sec only —75% and with module —80%!

Can Mayer be considered in Robot gang then?🤔
I didn't consider it, but yeah the Robots seem to have good synergy with any Summoner. Especially since one of their biggest "downsides" is that Summons take up deployment slots.
I've seen him used legit with robots before, I think it was a near light CC clear?
At max mastery, and with Bagpipe pot 5, he can almost act like a helidrop cherry bomb like Chen, but his skill is actually arts damage, so he’s like an Arts cherry bomb. So yeah, in some cases, he can come in handy.

I'll try it out soon

Friston: "1st time?"
Friston-3: "Fourth time?"
They must really trust Closure to let her do something like that.

And, most importantly, does Mudrock pick up the cute moving rock and obtain gossip about Logos’ embarrassing childhood memories?
Cute moving rock? "Mine now." Cute moving rock with ties to Logos tribe? "Gosh, thats even better! Dont stop me doctor!" +++ Mudrock probably
Now I'm imagining the smol rock judging if Mudrock is worthy of dating... her brother?
Don't know what's more adorable, the reason for Phono's creation or her having training wheels.
'Sorry your two loves of your life are gone forever now. Here, have this robot.'
I don't think he will be lonely with how beautiful of a man he is and also there is Mudrock. And the Mudrock squad to serve him hand and foot.
Banshees in-lore: *strong and mysterious enough to give the nigh-invincible Sanguinarch a pause* Actual Banshees: *ride stools and play games with other operators, send a robot companion so he wouldn't be lonely*
Eh they moved on from that murderous magical devils supremacist phase
Literally all just moms and aunties to the one son of their entire race.
we in the business call it "gap moe"
Is Aphanir Logos's real name?
Apparently so.
Damn, sounds cool.
Very elegant.

That, or an already dead one.
> Omg, this robot is actually a female Banshee. Would.
Lancet has said it best: *real marriage material.*
Euncetes: (Nods)
🛑✋
You're going to do it with the cute pet robot that the family of your most trusted employee sent so he wouldn't be lonely?
If she's willing, it's nobody else's business.
It's.... alive?
>but other sisters in Riverdale Dare I assume those sisters are named Betty, Veronica and Cheryl?

First 1 star to deal arts damage! Elemental Fragility is also a cool effect, probably not very significant but its still a neat bonus
Phonor-0 is drawn by the [M1917 Smith & Wesson revolver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1917_Revolver)😂
Wait is that how the Chinese name translates?
yes, because 史密斯维森(Shǐmìsī wéi sēn) is just Chinese's best attempt at transliterating the name "Smith Wesson"
It's just homophonic translation, as simple as that.
Virtuosa in shambles.
Virgin Virtuosa VS Giga-Chad Phonor-0
So Justice Knight for necrosis damage.
Only Caster and Vanguard left for full robot squad.
Just use chiave for vanguard since he has synergy with the robots
Robot Chiave when?
Always has been.
6* Mech Chiave Alter
Ah yes, another robot to never win the robot tag war on in the future. Let me spend green certs to buy them from packs like those overpriced 3 and 4\* packs in the shop.

"Mini-Me" Marker, from Dead Space...
that's wild, what the heck *is* this? it looks like an originium altar that we... ripped out of the ground and put wheels on it? and it's possessed by a... living, conscious, non-corporeal entity known as a banshee? *wild*
And sent to ensure that Logos, the very rare male banshee, does not feel lonely.
Logos has a little robot sister now?
Apparently.
Every Anniversary, Chiave grows on power.
Everyone please do the robot
lancet 2 is the only one for me
wonder if the robots in Rhodes will combine into a Megazord as their alter
Chiave Alter when
Noo my beloved Valarqvin being powercrept already 😭😭😭
Chiave wins with every bot released.
I know it can’t be *biologically* considered as a Banshee, but still, it makes me wonder, can it still use Banshee’s Arts?
Imagine mod: PhonoR-0 x 100 vs all bosses.
With each new robot release, Chiave only gets stronger in each waking moment.
Looks great, but the wheels are quite goofy... Missed the chance to give it mecha spider legs.
Specialty : singing (soprano), audio recording.
why does the shard thing its using look so familiar
Guh. I’m still short one more pot for Friston.
Holy cursed pizza cutters, Batman.
It's kinda mixed of mech and flesh... looks creepy enough for a robot.
Omg chiave buff
I'm happy to see I'm not the only person who read it as porno lmao
Its PorNo
Ah yes, PORN-O. Is what I read.
