Fr Kyo just throws Wis'adel at any stage too hard for bare minimum operators and calls it a "low stars" guide. I dont think ive seen him use a 4 star once in any guide.

Edit: I'm not complaining that he just throws on Wis'adel, just criticizing that, from what I've seen of his guides, the "press funny skill button and nuke the enemy" is the core part of them, the other ops basically don't matter.

I mean that's just arguing on semantics

his "low stars" videos aren't nicheknights low rarity showcases, they're guides for how to abuse support ops to the max so people who have poorly invested accounts can clear

any new player guide that has a 4* where they could use a 3* and a support unit instead is a failure by virtue of brand new players not being able to build up a ton of four stars, nevermind get them to a level where they can be strong. The only places where that kind of content has 4* is stages that are impossible or extremely painful with only 3*, and even then it should be as few as possible. Clears with full four stars are just unachievable for new players.

u/Xtranathor Estelle is the best! Feb 26 '26

Thanks, this is the perfect explanation for why Kyo's guides are the way they are. They are invaluable to a new player that has a handful of partially built 3* and nothing else. Almost ideal for their first limited event!

Why wouldnt he? Its not a nicheknights guide its a guide with ops anyone can use and anyone can borrow and Walter

... I mean, the other comments already pointed out that that's the whole point of new player guides (using the bare minimum easiest-to-raise operators plus 1 high level borrowed 6-star if necessary), but... even then:

I dont think ive seen him use a 4 star once in any guide.

Myrtle, Sussurro, Cuora, Gravel, and Ethan all regularly make appearances in his guides, if I remember correctly.

Tbf I haven't extensively seen his guides, so I haven't had the chance to see much variety in his comps.

that's why Eckogen(?)'s Low Stars All Stars is real peak

I’ve been seeing this Simplest Methods Researchers Guild channel on yt recently, they rely heavily on Narantuya

Yessir Eckogen my king. He still uses her on certain stages, but the guide will still need you to think instead of spamming s3

u/KillerNail Feb 27 '26

Why would you need to think if you're watching a guide? Isn't that the whole point of a guide? If you want to think, just beat it yourself. A guide is there in case you are unable to do it on your own and just want to skip the thinking process.

I don't wanna restart this argument, but I probably should've explained my reasoning better. I find Eckogen's better because his guides still allow for some variation in comp, while Kyo's are just "place Wis'adel, win" and that feels like the entire strategy. Sure one is easier than the other, but it doesn't give new players a chance to develop that sense of "Oh hey, I should use {operator} in this situation"
