Foreign Concepts! - Cnoc Na Riabh Foreigner - Complete Analysis!

hey guys my name is CAD Roth and today I'm going to be talking to you about knocknarya these are newest welfare to the game added with The Summer Event currently going on on JP she is an AOE Arts Foreigner and that's quite an interesting welfare to get us again we don't necessarily get a whole lot of these extra welfares so certainly she's going to be useful whenever you do need a fern a foreigner to say Farm things she is decently loopable as well and you guys can already get a copy of her pret

ty quickly in the event now again just sort of start out with in terms of overall considerations as welfare we don't care about banners or anything like that so there's no sort of availability issue other than if you missed the event thankfully with the evocation Festival being the way it is already on JP we're reasonably sure that every welfare will eventually come back if not uh again right away so certainly I think the bigger concern is missing out on the other intangibles in the event like c

raft Essences which at least JP does appear to be bringing back as well now and potentially like command codes and other things so otherwise I'm going to say as long as you guys do the event as long as you complete it you should be able to complete your knocknery and that'll be a thing for you now with regards to her attack power let's go ahead and dive in here on her stats you can see she already has 9.2k attack this is perfectly fine this is A-Okay in my book as again I like to see four stars

basically in that 9 to 10K range as that means they have fairly decent attack lower than 9k I start to begin to have concerns as long as they're not low into the 8K range we should be good and then again HP value here she has about 12.5 K again I do think this is going to be a concern but not too bad as again it is a relatively average number there her attribute here is going to be Earth attribute she's got 148 star absorption which is pretty average again for our foreigners here you can kind of

expect them to be a little bit somewhat like archers in terms of their star absorption and again star generation right here at 14.8 it only has a 0.41 NP charge attack which seems low but again if you guys watch my castoria Berserker analysis video you should know this is not gonna be that concerning of the grand scheme of things nowadays we have pretty much charge out the ass so we have any number of ways to be able to get someone to actually full refund so don't worry about it too much with r

egards to this her NP charge defense here is three percent he has a death rate that is abnormally low at five point seven percent that's certainly a good thing for her to have and then she is chaotic evil her gender is female her traits are Fey humanoid Sovereign obstacle maker servant summer mode servant and weak to enema Elish now with regards to her deck here you can see she is a triple Arch deck it actually feels like it's been a hot second since we've seen a triple Arts deck the devs do not

give them out too much here so that is certainly nice to see as that's going to help her out a lot as an Arts unit and you're gonna want that triple Arts chain for a couple of reasons so really good that they did give it to her obviously this can be paired with her NP for a triple Arch chain so it makes it a little bit easier but given the fact that you have three cards it's gonna be even easier to find that triple Arts somewhere in the deck for being able to charge her up if you are an account

ing type situation her hit counts here are all average or above in the case of the force hit Buster otherwise again nothing too much to write home about we don't have uh writing or anything affecting the quick card so basically it's just solid performance at the Arts card though again as we can as we can denote here the NP charge attack right here is rather low foreign to her first Guild she has debuff immunity one time three turns it's just for herself so again this is going to come into play a

s debuffs are a big part of her kit but don't worry too much about that at least she has it and it is a nice thing she recovers her own HP every turn for three turns again up to a thousand right here so nothing too strong but nothing bad either in that regard as having healing rather than not having healing it's always gonna be better to have it every turn for three turns of up to 20 so this is gonna mean you're going to want to lure the skill for that nice even 20 cut getting the most that you

can but you'll see there's another consideration in that regard Bill I'm going to tell you guys that this is gonna be some somewhat useful and helpful to her in terms of her looping capability and you can see that she charges the NP gauge of any allies with the fair with the my fair Soldier status which is a unique ill seal uh debuff that made sorry knock noria can apply on her allies so that'll come into play here as we look at the next next skill but again this one also does scale so you're pr

etty pretty much gonna want to lower this skill again her cool down here is only six turns so nothing too bad there with her second skill here you guys can see she gets party NP damage for three turns that is nice just at 20 there but then she's also going to Grant the party my fair Soldier debuff except for herself for three turns that is a demerit it will seal their skill so it's just a unique skill seal type of variant and you guys can see that what it does is whenever they have the my fair S

oldier status they will gain attack up and defense up there so the rest of the party will gain that for three turns Mabe herself will not gain this that is the downside the my fair Soldier attack buff is fairly strong here at 50 and the defense buff is fairly strong at 30 percent you're gonna have to be very careful with how you utilize this obviously things can get in the way in the way of it and you can actually see that basically here fandom has some notes but honestly they kind of make thing

s confusing so I'm gonna try to talk about it with you guys here so it says basically when conditional bus will be applied to the party upon use of the skill there is no my fair Soldier checkupon cast in other words it's not going to to somehow check to see whether or not you have it when you cast it it's more like it's just gonna cast it and put it on you and then that is going to give the my fair Soldier Buffs regardless however he then says if the target does not meet the my fair Soldier stat

us condition the buff will be displayed as inactive indicated by a faded buff icon so what this means is that if you cleanse if you get rid of it if you block it if you uh again do anything like resist it obviously then you're going to see that these Buffs will still apply however they will not be activated they will be grayed out for you that's going to be one of the issues that you're going to run into and this is going to be particularly concerning given a certain someone that we have probabl

y supporting me sorry knock narya again so with regards to the third status you can see that as these Buffs become active depending on the My Fair Soldier status within their turn duration even after the actual skill was used I can't really think of a scenario where this would be the case unless it's uh and again I have not actually looked unless it's part of her bond C or something but otherwise I'm gonna say that this is one of those cases where it should not become active during the turn shor

t of her just applying the buff again or something like that which can be the case the myfair soldier debuff can be prevented by debuff resistance or debuff immunity so this is something you guys are gonna have to watch out for because it's a debuff it can be resisted and that's something you really need to pay attention to because you're going to be using it on servants this isn't you using it on some trash and PC that's fighting alongside of you this is going to be on servants that actually ha

ve magic resistance and again as you can see debuff resistance and debuff Immunity as well will prevent this from Landing so certainly not something you're going to want to have happen given the fact that it is a really nice thing the problem that we haven't stated about all of this is that this is a skill seal that you're putting on your allies if you're going to use any allies with Mabe with knocknarya make sure that you actually have popped their skills before utilizing this because it is a t

hree-turn skill seal you're not going to want to use castoria's uh stuff after the fact because it'll just be blocked by the skill seal itself so certainly the timing here is going to matter particularly if you know that someone has a skill that they're not going to be able to pop until the next turn at that point you may wish to forego activating this on the first turn give yourself a chance to kind of utilize this be able to pop the other unit skills and then be able to pop this in order to he

lp them out keep in mind too that you're going to want to pop this skill first and foremost for knocknoria the reason why is because this first skill as you guys come back to it grants 30 charge for anyone with this debuff you're not going to want to have some sort of scenario where oh you've cleansed the party and now they don't get this or you've debuff immune the party and now they don't get this so essentially everything is conditional upon having the my fair Soldier status so just make sure

you're playing it safe it's gonna make noctnoria somewhat difficult to use on a first run once you get the hang of the button presses and when to pop what you'll be fine but that first Run's gonna be a little hairy is you're gonna have to get the timing right of activating certain skills particularly if you're dependent on certain skills for refund or charge that can definitely be a concern with you so that's the issue at play with these first two skills they're very interesting nonetheless and

then with the third skill here you guys can see that she gets the ability to increase her own arcs performance for three turns by 20 not a very solid steroid it's not a lot but it's something it's also going to have a chance to stun all enemies for one turn up to 60 percent the problem with this being sixty percent is you can't really rely on it so it might bail you out of a bad situation but don't expect it to because it always fail right when you need it to actually land the most is it going

to reduce all enemies defense for three turns by 20 and that is certainly a nice thing however the problem you're gonna have here is this last effect so this has a 500 chance to seal the parties Arts cards except herself and our Toria Caster allies for one turn go with regards to her this is just going to be again ogr tree a caster and arturia Caster Berserker that we've talked about here so anyone other than them is going to get their Arts cards basically sealed you cannot use them selecting th

em will result in a chain error good luck so that's the problem you're going to run into if you actually need to card or you're trying to form a triple Arch chain with anyone else's cards that is not named castoria this is going to mean that she is hard locked to Castor air for most of your callups as you're really just not going to want to carry this to rare and around for anyone else however there's another consideration here and that's going to be what do you do if you are in sort of a challe

nge scenario where maybe you're trying to take some like lady Avalon or something well you're gonna be pretty much sealed so just try to make sure if you're gonna pop this that you either pop this on a turn where that other unit doesn't have Arts cards present or try to pop it on a turn where it's not gonna matter because you're utilizing say like you know a casteria NP and knocknery is in p and then knock nor is Arts card or something like that it is in a sense a turn where you might be busy do

ing things otherwise or you might not care about forming a triple Arch chain as long as that's the case this demerit is fine however it is going to be a very nasty demerit you have to work your way around this is sort of why I say sometimes the demerits are not very fun this is a very strategic one one that I think is going to cause people a lot of problems but as long as you're careful about when you pop these skills you should be okay that's gonna be the big problem with knocknoria is knowing

when to use what so again also on a six turn cool down here just to have magic resistance a here for 20 debuff resistance she does have melty heart a as again you're going to be able to increase the party's critical star generation rate by 20 while herself is on the field that's a really nice thing don't pay attention to the including sub members because we don't care if noknaria is not on the field you're not getting this buff and if the unit is in the back line they're not generating stars for

you so it doesn't matter either way I'm not really sure why fandom decided to put this one in here because it's a really weird note but again it is what it is and then she gets Southern Star ex here which gains four critical Stars every turn and then George Sharon and P gauge every turn by four so now you guys can see not only is she gonna get the 20 charge per turn from her skill she's also gonna get four from a passive giving her 24 every turn just naturally until that skill wears off really

a nice sort of extra little bit to help out her refund with regards to her pen skills yeah you're pretty much gonna want Mana loading first this is an Arts AOE Looper we know we're gonna want as much charge we can get it may facilitate us getting away with better CES or support loadouts so in general always go with Mana loading first on an Arts Looper it tends to be the best choice her third one here is anti-lancer attack damage aptitude we don't care about that so as a result your second one is

going to be going after the extra attack finesse that is going to be your best your second best use of the coins and then the third one here is the Lancer is just not going to be that useful but hey it's there if you so choose again you should be getting coins from the actual event since this is a welfare so you should have plenty to unlock everything just keep in mind if you do plan on Grayling her skip the third skill for now because the least useful as they give you enough coins in order to

complete everything but it's completing everything assuming you Bond 15 the unit so just keep that in the back of your head that that does include a calculation based off Bond coins for Noble Phantasm is a four hit AOE again it is Arts so it definitely has good regen for that but keep in mind the fact that it's only four hits is not gonna be that Stellar you're not gonna be generating that much especially since she only has a a 0.4 uh NP gain rate there so she will deal damage to All Enemies she

will also remove her own debuffs thankfully this is not a party-wide glance as we already talked about having say castoria's NP in the mix there could cause problems with the my fair Soldier buff as it will cleanse and remove things but at least with this only cleansing your own debuffs we don't have to care about this and then again her overcharge effect is going to heal her by five thousand so this is where she is actually going to be quite a bit of a survival machine he doesn't have any hard

survival in her kit but she definitely ends up having some good healing capability sadly it's only her own so you're not tending to like the castorius to help keep them alive but hey it is what it is so I could definitely see a scenario though where you could set up knock narya with something like the maiden Halloween CE in order to be able to solo things by looping her NP with a triple Arch chain constantly and just keep healing herself as long as you had the ability to soak the damage you wou

ld be fine but if you didn't that would be the concern as a powerful MP killing you off so again definitely a nice thing to have there now with regards to her damage output keep in mind we're gonna be looking at the NP damage list I have it sorted by AOE so that it's filtered all the single targets out these are neutral numbers and with our foreigners remember we're probably going to be taking them up against Berserkers most of the time so they should be effective or again again something like a

pretender where they're actually in their niche but just keep in mind that you're not going to get a whole lot of extra Firepower uh on this sheet shown because it is a neutral number it is not including external support Buffs and it's not including things like Mystic codes or craft Essences or command codes so as we look at this obviously sometimes this sheet sort of applies the truth as it's only a unit's self skills so for instance a unit like Google con that actually hits insanely hard and

scales really hard particularly due to the conditions of their kit not necessarily showing as strong here for the rod number where it's not including all those conditionals similarly you have units like Abby summer who definitely show high on the list but this is because they're utilizing all of their debuffs on the same Target when they're actually a little bit more of an AOE so they're going to do 38k to one unit but not to the rest of the units as they're pretty much just gonna do Splash dama

ge to them so like I said some of the time sometimes this uh does sort of wiggle around some what I do think is interesting here is comparing basically these bottom two to knock narya so right here we have mysterious Idol X or other welfare AOE Foreigner definitely not one known particularly for her looping prowess as she doesn't really have charge in her kit she's not really got a lot of NP generation she can be made to three turn but it's not the prettiest thing ever so again a lot of people j

ust use her for a like NP damage stat stick to take out a wave maybe up against the mechanical enemy something that her Niche can actually come into play but she is welfare so you are guaranteed to get all five copies of her at 33k there now compared against someone like Hokusai Hokusai is only showing at 18. but Hokusai has always been a very conditional unit herself as again you guys could see she does have nom de plume here to get her up to 38k man attribute can get her to about 27k I'm sorry

it's cut off there a little bit and again sort of having nom de plume uh or sorry no here's numb to plume here was numb to plume with the man trait right here so essentially both in play Hernan de plume skill is her third skill that allows her to stack basically defense down by hitting enemies with an Arts card it is nice it definitely lasts for amp damage so she could certainly do some solid numbers when it's both man and you've landed those Arts cards previously but realistically you're gonna

be looking at probably just man trait most of the time there at that 27k number so don't worry about it too much however if you are a big Hokusai fan this should be concerning for you guys again knock naria is down here all the way at the bottom at only 18K but noctnoria is a welfare so we're actually looking at this 30k and P5 number he doesn't have any conditionals to be able to squeeze more out of her damage but again at 30k she's actually pretty solid that would bring her in functionally ri

ght behind Abby summer again obviously someone like kukul Khan is actually a little bit higher someone like maybe Cody and skya and her niches can be a little bit higher as well but yes this does mean that nocturnia should be a very solid AOE welfare and she can Loop and just double castorius setups against neutral enemies with only a single hit of Overkill against three enemies that would mean that she did Kill The Wave she did kill everyone there she would be looking at something like 82 perce

nt refund and that is including her 24 guaranteed so yes you would need a little bit extra there you might be looking at something like using a fragment of 2004 to push her over the edge using something like our new Arts Mystic code or again trying to do something like plug suit gain access to a third support so that you would have enough but obviously this certainly depends on sort of how much Overkill we're able to get how much refund we can possibly generate and sort of our order of operation

s in terms of popping our skills so as long as you can again have enough support there for knockner yet yes she can be a solid Arts Looper for you even as a welfare already mentioned the maiden Halloween craft Essence that you guys are going to be actually able to get coming up here on N A during our Halloween event it's very very solid stealth healing boost by 75 craft Essence really good for solos but other than that obviously craft Essences that you're probably going to want to use something

like black Grail as she can start from zero it's gonna help her secure a lot of those Overkill hits but not gonna help her out actually in terms of refund numbers otherwise still just our best overall damage dealing craft Essence from when starting from zero and in peeing something like ocean flyer might also be of your interest especially if you're going up against sort of a non-3 set enemy wave somewhere in the node as this is gonna give her starting charge this one's a welfare from our upcomi

ng summer six here on an a those of you on JP have already had this but certainly this one could also be another really decent solution for her for giving her both Arts up NP damage that can scale with someone like Oberon and again just starting charge to make the looping a little bit easier if you still want to look at another welfare option for starting from zero royal icing has always been a good one it's also all attack scaling this one comes from our only land Halloween event it's not going

to be available during our Halloween event this year on an a but you do get Earth's performance and NP damage from it and then sign of a smiling face came from a New Year's Event shortly thereafter this one's also another really solid one as it's just all sorts of really good combinations of things it is all attack scaling here and still manages to give arts in P gin and NP damage all on a single thing so basically everything that an Arts Looper would want there's also knowing the way broadly i

f you want ignore invincibility and in P damage and in p-generation rate to help out at NP refund a little bit more or again something like Honey Lake should you so choose to go after something like say the burn damage augmentation the honey Lakes another really solid one but hard to get your hands on and then again for those of you that maybe haven't managed to grab a black Grail or maybe even any of these others there's always still infant of Atlas AKA child of Atlas here on an a that does giv

e anti-berserker power bond to your attacks so can be useful for not only karting but also in P damage and it will allow you to ignore defense the only issue with this one is going to be that it is split stats so probably not the best term in terms of an investment option for you but could work in a pinch so good let me know what you guys think about naknaria below I will be sure to read your comments and I will see you guys for the next one have a good one
