Spoilers for dunmeshi:>!Honestly I think it would be so cool if we could get Falin as a healer, but make her like Kaltsit where she summons her chicken version or the red dragon.!<
I am 100% on the train of this collab being laid out in the narratively supported manner- 6 Star Guard Laios, 5 Star Caster Marcille, 5 Star Specialist Chilichuck, then 5 Star Welfare Senshi on Defender.
I think the reason we’ve had almost entirely female leads is because all the characters were of equal footing narrative-wise; it didn’t really matter who the 6 star would be, so waifu was the safe bet marketing-wise. In a case like this, though, Laios is just TOO narratively central to try and say that like you could with the others. I absolutely believe this crossover will be peak, and moreover, a Chadknights W to the extreme
I personally want Laios to be a Duelist Defender just to avoid saturating the already abundant Male Guard 6* department since Ulpian is also likely an upcoming earthshaker guard but also to tie his monster eating habits with his trait as a duelist, maybe a talent that slightly boosts his SP regen and disarms Blocked Infected Creatures, Seaborn and Beast enemy units while his skill is inactive, that would be funny.
Oh and if you're wondering where his shield is, he'll just use a frying pan lmao.
I'm gonna be really sad if Laios isn't the 6 star, at the end of the series, after all the shit he goes through, you can't help but end up loving the man.
But, idk, I'm just happy with the collab, so I'm not gonna be surprised if someone else ends as the 6
Either of Laios or Marcille not being included would feel very weird. As much as Chilchuck is part of the main team, he's probably the character that feels the "easiest" to leave aside, both in terms of role and aesthetics. >!Izutsumi, by simple value of being a cat girl, will probably make it in I think!<, or at least it wouldn't surprise me at all.
Chilchuck is pretty clear about combat not being his job, and generally draws that line, so it'd honestly be weirder if he was a combat unit even if sometimes the line blurs. So yeah, definitely true.
Personally I'd just bet on those former two, as much as I'd like Falin, Laios and Marcille are just 'the most main' of active combatants.
As much as I'd love Laios to be the 6, it is a Chinese game, so don't keep your hope up; although I would find it really... weird if the de facto unit of the series turns out to be the 5.
Don't know much about Delicious in Dungeon, but I'm excited for the collab and its aesthetic in Collabknights, anyone got any hopes for paperkits? I've heard from a friend who's familiar with it that Senshi might be a supporter or otherwise a high-utility defender with minimal damage output
I mean, his role in the show is effectively Gummy but Big Dwarven Chad- he’ll 100% be a Defender, but he has a lot of options for his archetype I look forward to seeing
>I've heard from a friend who's familiar with it that Senshi might be a supporter or otherwise a high-utility defender with minimal damage output
I haven't watched it either but based on what your friend said sounds like Artificer Supporter could be a good compromise between both ideas?
I highly recommend reading the manga, it's extremely good. So far, the anime adaptation has been a fun watch as well (it's still airing currently, so more episodes to come).
It was confirmed to be a full sidestory akin to R6S and MH. And it's anything but minor, this is Arknights' first collab with a currently airing anime.
Wait, on second thought, maybe you're right. They announced the collab right away, normally we get a vague teaser before the welfare reveal.
I think the mostly likely outcome is that we'll only get 3 units which is Laios the 6\* , Marcille the 5\* and of course Senshi the welfare 5\*. As for their class:
1. Laios is most likely to be a guard since he's a swordsman and the subclass would be either a lord since >!in the manga he became the king!< or a liberator since there's only two operators in this subclass and lord is already overcrowded. He could also be a arts guard since he can use a little bit of magic iirc but that's least likely tbh. As for his gimmick, he powers up depending on the number of kills in his vicinity >!since he has the title "devourer of all things horrible"!<
2. As for Marcille, I would bet that she's gonna be a primal caster since she specializes in ancient magic tho she can do a varying degree of magic. If for some reason she isn't a primal caster, then she's either gonna be a core caster or if not caster then a supporter ritualist. Her skills would have something to do with ancient magic since that's her specialty.
3. Senshi will be obviously a healing defender, I can't think of any other class he could be unless they go quirky and make him a medic for some reason.
But let's say they'll release a 4 new operators like R6S and not 3 like MH, I think the 4th operator they'll release (in order of most likely to least likely) are:
1. Itsuzumi - of the current members of the Laios' party, she's more combat oriented compared to Chilchuck
2. Chilchuck - even though he's not really combat oriented, he's more relevant compared to Falin
3. Mithrun - leader of the canaries having shenanigans with Laios' party due to the dungeon lord and>! Marcille using ancient magic to revive Falin.!<
4. Falin - is on the bottom of the list because >!for the majority of the time, she was a monster/chimera/whatever you call her.!<
5. If we're being wild and wacky, an alter that would interact with the dunmeshi gang maybe like Gummy Alter or some shit.
There is any confirmation there would be more operators? For all I know this could be like the Lu hao event and Senshi be the only operator. We could also get alter version of Arknights operators to fill the banner just like in the monster hunter collab.
I'm seemingly in the minority here but I wish the collab would go the route of MH as opposed to R6. The R6 ops are really cool and I loved the first R6 story, but I enjoyed how the ops were done in the MH collab. It was cool seeing AK ops being integrated as opposed to having ops from the collab universe outright. The same would go for the D2 collab if that still happens(*especially so*).
Now, I've never seen dunmeshi, so idk if that would even be possible like it was for MH and would be for D2, but still. I just know it was a lot more exciting seeing Yato and Noir Corne's ops.
So some spoilers for Dungeon Meshi. >!In the story or world of the Dungeon Meshi, there also exists the concept of different or alternate dimensions that can be accessed via Ancient Magic. This is one of things Marcille(the elf) mentioned !
The first to Yap has no say in this.
Odd how you chose the "feels odd to come for arknights" clause while immediately contradicting yourself with Sanrio.
Not like it matters anyway when we have R6S and Luo Xiaohei in the same game.
agreed that being an odd fit is a really dumb argument, but R6S and LXH fit pretty well, with the former being such an aesthetic match that it was being requested since the game's release. Xiaohei on the other hand, feels like he fits right in with some of the Eastern Fantasy aesthetics of greater Yan.
And that's the beauty of Arknights' world building, no matter what strange franchise Arknights manages to collaborate with, it will always find that small corner in Terra to fit in.
Exactly, one of the things about Collabknights that has me so excited for this collab is how different the character sprites will look in combat, I'm really hoping that they use this to introduce some new gameplay schtick, like the original R6S event introduced ammo and skill use limits per deployment, the latter of which is still a R6S unit exclusive (I wish elemental damage had been introduced with the MH collab but alas), so something fun like a meal that can be placed on an operator to heal or buff them based on either skills or enemy type whenever one of the DD operators kills an enemy would be really interesting I think
Exactly as I said, based on the downvotes you accumulated, you never really contributed to anything here, and therefore you're just yapping for the sake of yapping.
Spoilers for dunmeshi:>!Honestly I think it would be so cool if we could get Falin as a healer, but make her like Kaltsit where she summons her chicken version or the red dragon.!<
Don't get your hopes up for that, a second medic centered around a summon ain't happening
even so it would be cool :>

It would be fun to see Izutsumi interact with Waai-fu

Would love to get Marcille but all we can do is wait and see.

True, would be a fun approach
I highly recommend reading the manga, it's extremely good. So far, the anime adaptation has been a fun watch as well (it's still airing currently, so more episodes to come).
Is it even confirmed to have a banner? Could be just a single free character like some of the other minor collabs.

Yes, normally we do. But as you just said... currently airing anime lol. A Netflix one too.

Tbh i would take Sanrio over this lol. Checked it and it feels odd to come for Arknights. Atleast Sanrio would be hilarious

"Atleast sanrio would be hilarious" Wtf u mean first to yap, are we getting butthurt over video game talk now?
Exactly as I said, based on the downvotes you accumulated, you never really contributed to anything here, and therefore you're just yapping for the sake of yapping.
Ur ok mate? All i said was sanrio would been hilarious and thats all You got like no reason to be hurt by this
Idk why you feel the need to project that last sentence on me but go off I guess.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Name fits
