00:00:00
hello and welcome to my channel iwi to
00:00:02
lose gaming today we are here to take a
00:00:05
look at Evelyn our first S rank fire
00:00:09
attack agent who's featured in zenis
00:00:12
zone
00:00:24
zero so Evelyn is The Bodyguard of
00:00:28
astrial and today we're going to see how
00:00:30
she does as a DPS character and as the
00:00:34
attacker that she is and I also wanted
00:00:37
to present a few anecdotal comparisons
00:00:39
between Evelyn and Soldier 11 since they
00:00:41
are both fire attackers who enjoy
00:00:43
attacking during stun Windows to help
00:00:45
you all decide whether or not Evelyn is
00:00:48
right for your account this video was
00:00:50
filmed on the Early Access server and is
00:00:52
not indicative of the final product
00:00:54
there may be some changes on release so
00:00:55
be sure to check the comments down below
00:00:57
to see if there are any and the first
00:00:59
thing that you'll probably notice about
00:01:01
her are her animations and in particular
00:01:04
it's her very wavy jacket so she's
00:01:07
brought over the same manufacturing
00:01:10
plant that makes yon's jacket into zenis
00:01:13
Zone zero and we can see that this
00:01:15
jacket is able to hang on for dear life
00:01:18
on her shoulders uh as she's running
00:01:21
around and of course let's take a look
00:01:23
at her menu animations we can see here
00:01:26
that she has um what is she twirling
00:01:28
around some kind of knife I believe she
00:01:30
is indeed a fire attacker and the second
00:01:33
character who's part of the stars of
00:01:35
Lyra lra whatever it is so we can see
00:01:38
she is a standard crit scaling character
00:01:41
with attack crit rate and crit damage
00:01:44
and let me just scoot myself over to
00:01:46
this corner while we can take a look at
00:01:49
these menu animations we can see here oh
00:01:52
my goodness yes we can see in particular
00:01:55
the
00:01:57
equipment uh yeah I think they're
00:02:00
starting to power creep some of the menu
00:02:03
animations so starting off we'll be
00:02:05
using the four-piece hormone punk as
00:02:07
well as the two-piece Inferno metal and
00:02:10
you'll notice that the hormone Punk
00:02:12
indeed right we're using the hormone
00:02:13
Punk which honestly isn't really the
00:02:15
best Set uh for pretty much anyone but
00:02:19
you know she's kind of lacking in
00:02:20
options when it comes to uh the drive
00:02:23
sets and we'll see here that we have her
00:02:25
signature won and we'll actually start
00:02:27
with the Marcato desire which is the
00:02:29
very fre to play friendly event won that
00:02:32
we all got pretty
00:02:33
[Music]
00:02:38
recently now Evelyn has no joke two
00:02:42
unique currencies as well as two Unique
00:02:45
Kind of states is what I'll call them
00:02:47
which leads to kind of a lot of various
00:02:50
combinations but fortunately when it
00:02:52
comes to actual gameplay it doesn't end
00:02:54
up being as complicated as it might
00:02:57
sound so starting off she has this
00:03:00
resource called burning embers and she
00:03:03
just gains those by doing uh you know
00:03:06
various attacks like basic attacks her
00:03:08
ex special and her special will all
00:03:11
generate this resource of burning embers
00:03:13
where she can I believe have 16 total
00:03:16
now when you press and hold her basic
00:03:18
attack button she will spend those
00:03:19
burning embers in order to convert them
00:03:23
over into burning tethers so let's go
00:03:25
ahead and use this so we can see here
00:03:28
that indeed we we spent that with one
00:03:31
part two parts of the whole basic in
00:03:33
order to get two burning tethers once
00:03:36
you have three of these you can actually
00:03:38
do a chain attack so this is kind of
00:03:40
like a baby version of the chain attack
00:03:42
in the sense okay it still does the same
00:03:44
amount of damage as her regular chain
00:03:46
attack but what makes this a bit
00:03:48
different is that it does a little bit
00:03:49
less like stagger SL interrupt the enemy
00:03:53
but that point aside we can see here
00:03:55
that she's going to be a very chain
00:03:56
attack F focused character and she can
00:03:59
actually perform them on Demand by
00:04:01
filling up this resource bar now
00:04:03
needless to say of course if the enemy
00:04:05
is stunned Evelyn can also perform this
00:04:08
chain attack which does a lot of damage
00:04:10
as well as has her in this very nice
00:04:12
pose and I'm curious to hear if she has
00:04:15
a snapping sound effect on live because
00:04:17
if you know the Creator experience
00:04:19
server you'll know that there's no sound
00:04:21
or there's a lot of missing sound
00:04:23
effects for the game she also has this
00:04:26
uh bind state where sometimes she will
00:04:29
have a a kind of string attached to the
00:04:32
enemy and sometimes she won't have this
00:04:35
string attached to the enemy fortunately
00:04:37
most of the time the string will be
00:04:39
attached to the enemy where a lot of
00:04:41
parts of her kit will function um as
00:04:44
expected now the next thing about her is
00:04:47
that she also enjoys kind of using a
00:04:51
countering play style where if she
00:04:53
manages to use her special in order to
00:04:55
counter the enemy she will gain a lot of
00:04:58
additional burning members you're going
00:05:00
to want to build up these resources
00:05:03
before you stun the enemy so that way
00:05:05
you can pull off some big big you know
00:05:08
multiple chain combos against the enemy
00:05:10
once they are actually stunned so let's
00:05:12
go ahead and we'll just stun this guy
00:05:14
real
00:05:14
[Music]
00:05:16
quick and we can see that we can go into
00:05:18
her chain and training mode of course
00:05:21
doesn't have um enemies okay I'm
00:05:24
completely messing up her combo cuz I'm
00:05:25
yapping here but training mode doesn't
00:05:27
have enemies where you can do uh three
00:05:29
chain combos which kind of makes it you
00:05:32
know a little bit scuffed when it comes
00:05:33
to testing because you have to do it
00:05:35
against bosses and actual missions and
00:05:37
stuff but anyway up next let's take a
00:05:39
look at her ultimate so her ultimate is
00:05:42
super interesting because she actually
00:05:43
has I guess like technically two
00:05:46
different ultimates but they're you know
00:05:48
basically the exact same but I love how
00:05:50
in the description usually you know it
00:05:53
doesn't like include flavor text but in
00:05:55
this one it actually tells you that she
00:05:56
just removes her jacket so let's go
00:05:58
ahead and remove her
00:06:00
jacket there it go she just tosses it
00:06:02
somewhere and I guess she just gets a
00:06:04
new jacket after the fight or finds her
00:06:07
old jacket and picks it up cuz I don't
00:06:09
know where she's storing it right like I
00:06:11
don't really see any pockets on her
00:06:12
outfit or anything like that and yeah
00:06:14
but now you can use Evelyn a jacket list
00:06:17
for the rest of the fight and this state
00:06:19
will last for well yeah I literally just
00:06:22
said it for the rest of the fight until
00:06:24
you know you enter a new fight where she
00:06:26
will get her jacket back and one big
00:06:28
difference about this form in fact I
00:06:30
would say really the only big difference
00:06:32
the only difference about this form so
00:06:34
when you use her uh chain attack she
00:06:37
will now actually save one of the
00:06:41
burning tethers so that makes it much
00:06:43
more efficient well 33% more efficient
00:06:46
when it comes to burning tether Resource
00:06:49
Management so we can also see here if we
00:06:50
do her ultimate again now she does the
00:06:53
the armpit pose for you guys I also
00:06:55
forgot to mention a very important part
00:06:57
of her kit is her core ability where if
00:07:00
she has The Binding seal which is when
00:07:02
she has the string attached to the enemy
00:07:04
Evelyn's crit rate will be increased by
00:07:07
25% so we can see here that she is
00:07:09
indeed at 88% crit rate thanks to that
00:07:12
additional crit rate part of her core
00:07:15
ability and finally um why it's
00:07:18
important to have a lot of crit rate on
00:07:20
her it's because of her additional
00:07:21
ability where if she's with a stun or
00:07:23
support character her chain and ultimate
00:07:25
damage are increased by 30% but if her
00:07:27
crit rate is over 80% % then the damage
00:07:31
multiplier for her chain attack and
00:07:32
ultimate are increased to 125% of their
00:07:36
value this means that each chain attack
00:07:38
deals
00:07:39
273.5 per damage and her ultimate has a
00:07:42
whopping
00:07:44
49716 per damage multiplier since she's
00:07:47
generally able to Output spoilers three
00:07:49
to five chains in a stun window well
00:07:52
she's able to Output around 6,000 to
00:07:54
10,000% of chain attack damage
00:07:57
multiplier in a stun window
00:08:04
all right we're going to start with this
00:08:05
more oh she actually puts on her jacket
00:08:08
at the beginning of the fight I swear
00:08:09
she doesn't do that every time but
00:08:12
regardless we want to start with this uh
00:08:14
fairly free-to-play friendly especially
00:08:16
if you manage to lose your 50/50s to
00:08:18
kada but let's go ahead and we will just
00:08:21
uh increase the stun right here so one
00:08:23
thing about her play style is that
00:08:25
generally speaking you want to build up
00:08:27
her resources both the burning Embers as
00:08:30
well as the burning tethers um before
00:08:32
the boss actually enters the stun state
00:08:35
so that way um you'll be able to unload
00:08:38
okay okay hang on I I got to pay
00:08:40
attention a bit this game actually does
00:08:42
require you to pay attention but I am I
00:08:44
noticed that I am way worse at dodging
00:08:47
without sound effects because the sound
00:08:49
effects actually make a huge uh
00:08:50
difference when it comes to dodging so
00:08:52
anyway we can see here that we've built
00:08:54
we fully built her resources here we can
00:08:56
see she's full on burning embers as well
00:08:58
as burning tethers so we can go ahead
00:09:01
and get the boss into um a stun State
00:09:04
here and I'm actually going to initiate
00:09:06
the stun with Lucy so that way we can go
00:09:09
for this chain attack right here and we
00:09:11
can go for the second chain attack where
00:09:13
we can then use kada to trigger this so
00:09:16
we can see here that we are indeed doing
00:09:19
some kind of fancy is combos I guess is
00:09:21
how I would describe it but we can see
00:09:23
that the the butcher just doesn't have
00:09:25
the HP required to you know fully
00:09:27
showcase her combo so we didn't have to
00:09:30
build up all those resources against the
00:09:31
butcher because yeah obviously it just
00:09:33
doesn't have enough Health uh to Warrant
00:09:35
such a response okay so anyway let's go
00:09:37
ahead and go for the stun so we're going
00:09:40
to go ahead and this time we're going to
00:09:42
use our
00:09:43
ultimate to go for this chain and we'll
00:09:46
go for this again we can see here that
00:09:48
I'm doing a manual cancel of her chain
00:09:50
attack so there we go we're going to do
00:09:52
her ultimate this
00:09:53
time and thanks to so you'll notice that
00:09:56
I didn't um I intentionally uh didn't
00:09:58
use Lucy's Buffs because otherwise we
00:10:01
wouldn't really be able to show you know
00:10:02
her combo cuz she just will kill the
00:10:04
enemy too fast so you see here that I'm
00:10:07
messing uper combo as well but we are
00:10:09
indeed able to get off a lot of
00:10:11
additional chain attacks in a stun
00:10:13
window due to the way that we managed
00:10:15
her resources thanks to her uh jacket
00:10:18
list State as well now I wanted to show
00:10:20
One Quick Clip of how many chain attacks
00:10:23
you can get off in a fight or in a stun
00:10:25
window and this is kind of like the
00:10:27
maximum threshold without like a whole
00:10:29
bunch of shenanigans but she can pull
00:10:32
off almost six chains with Astra Yao in
00:10:35
a single stun window normally you get
00:10:37
about 3 to four sometimes five depending
00:10:41
on if you have like asrial or lighter on
00:10:43
the team but in a situation like this
00:10:46
where you can actually extend the
00:10:47
enemy's stun window with an impair we
00:10:50
see here that she pulled off six entire
00:10:52
chains against this enemy so yeah
00:10:55
there's a lot of room for kind of um
00:10:58
optimization combo game because here I
00:11:01
used a technique where I animation
00:11:03
canceled her hold uh charge attack or
00:11:06
whatever so if you want some skill
00:11:08
expression I think Evelyn is going to be
00:11:10
a good character for you and
00:11:12
unfortunately that does mean that she
00:11:14
does lose a decent amount of damage if
00:11:16
you don't kind of put in a bit of
00:11:18
additional effort for learning the way
00:11:20
you know learning her combo game similar
00:11:21
to harumasa although I feel like she's a
00:11:23
bit more forgiving than hamasa in my
00:11:25
opinion but yeah a very fun character to
00:11:29
use use if you are that type of
00:11:35
player so let's take a look at this
00:11:38
Evelyn team inside of shiu 82 this has
00:11:42
been I guess one of my go-to places
00:11:44
lately for testing especially for
00:11:46
physical and fire uh you know showcases
00:11:49
and here we can see though that I think
00:11:52
for this route I decided to actually go
00:11:54
for a full fill up of Evelyn because you
00:11:57
can have a couple different place Styles
00:11:59
when it comes to Evelyn you can either
00:12:01
focus on stunning the enemy faster in
00:12:03
order to get more chain attacks off or
00:12:05
you can try to focus on building
00:12:08
resources so in this case we can see
00:12:10
that since we stunned the elite enemy we
00:12:12
just go for a standard um two chain
00:12:14
combo because well obviously you know
00:12:16
against a regular Elite enemy uh they
00:12:19
can only be stunned twice so or or they
00:12:21
can only be chained twice but anyway we
00:12:23
can see that we've built up all of our
00:12:25
resources as well as now we can go for
00:12:27
the stun against our big boy here and I
00:12:30
think I wanted to go for the Lucy stunt
00:12:33
because that way we have Lucy's Buffs up
00:12:36
and right here it's important to master
00:12:39
the manual um chain cancel in order for
00:12:42
Evelyn to get two chain attacks against
00:12:45
a boss type enemy we can see there that
00:12:47
that's indeed what I did in order to
00:12:49
Output this full combo against the uh
00:12:53
boss here you can see here that it
00:12:55
almost single cycled it even with these
00:12:57
free-to-play friendly wenin on both Lucy
00:13:00
and Kaa as well as well you know Evelyn
00:13:03
herself also has the Marcato desire
00:13:06
which is the event weapon so yeah we can
00:13:08
see here a pretty decent performance for
00:13:11
a free-to-play Evelyn against the shiu
00:13:13
82 so of course what is Evelyn though
00:13:16
without her best team and you guys
00:13:18
probably realized that yeah her best
00:13:20
team is going to be astrio with Evelyn
00:13:22
with lighter lighter okay great start
00:13:26
great start right there you can see me
00:13:27
getting clobbered but somehow this still
00:13:29
ended up being my fastest run despite uh
00:13:32
the mistake there so likely due to you
00:13:34
know lucky mob grouping as well as kind
00:13:36
of days build up against both of them
00:13:38
instead of just one of them which ends
00:13:40
up making a huge difference so we can
00:13:41
see here that I'm not even bothering
00:13:43
building up or trying to focus on
00:13:45
building up Evelyn's resources I just
00:13:47
want a single whatam call it um you know
00:13:52
manual chain that I can do because she
00:13:54
does so much damage on her optimal team
00:13:56
this is also with signature wance we can
00:13:58
see that first chain what was that
00:14:00
485,000 damage something like that
00:14:02
either way though we can see me doing
00:14:04
the um chain cancel in order to go for
00:14:06
the double chain into her ultimate and
00:14:09
forget about the rest of the chain
00:14:10
attacks that she can pull off because
00:14:13
yeah it's already dead it's it's already
00:14:14
dead she's dead Jim now I'm sure a lot
00:14:17
of you guys will have a lot of questions
00:14:19
when it comes to what about Soldier 11
00:14:22
how does she compare to Soldier 11 so I
00:14:24
did four entire runs through the deadly
00:14:27
assault just to give guys an idea for
00:14:30
you know what what you can expect so we
00:14:33
can see here that we're starting off
00:14:34
with a free-to-play friendly Soldier
00:14:36
build this is soldier with the marato
00:14:38
desire as well as I believe the
00:14:41
four-piece woodpecker Electro but we can
00:14:43
see that by the end of this which is
00:14:45
wrapping up in about 1 second Soldier
00:14:48
managed to get a score of
00:14:52
2,636 now this is with lighter as well
00:14:55
as Astra Yao with their signature W
00:14:57
engin anyway um we can see here here
00:14:59
that this is going to be my free-to-play
00:15:01
friendly attempt and I apologize for the
00:15:04
uh poor gameplay and dodging because you
00:15:06
know I just wanted to get this video out
00:15:08
to you guys so do a quick run with each
00:15:10
of these characters so of course when it
00:15:13
comes to times and comparisons like this
00:15:15
it is all super super anecdotal and you
00:15:18
know obviously the scores can be
00:15:19
drastically improved for all the
00:15:21
different teams so please please please
00:15:23
always take it with a giant grain
00:15:25
assault but either way we can see here
00:15:27
that now um for for this free-to-play
00:15:29
approach I decided to go for well it's
00:15:31
not sorry it's not a free-to-play
00:15:32
friendly approach for this um you know
00:15:35
Evelyn with the marcot desire with a
00:15:38
very similar build to Soldier I keep
00:15:40
saying freetop playay friendly this is
00:15:41
not freetop playay friendly because it
00:15:42
has three limited srank agents as well
00:15:46
as both lighter and astrial on their
00:15:48
signature wiin and the reason why I did
00:15:50
that is because this way you know the
00:15:52
only difference between the two teams is
00:15:54
AST ya out versus Soldier which a lot of
00:15:57
people are going to have questions about
00:15:58
so skipping ahead to the next stun cycle
00:16:01
we can see here that again I built up
00:16:03
all of her resources to full for this
00:16:06
run because you know I figured it's
00:16:07
probably worth it for this type of setup
00:16:09
um in all honesty I'm not 100% sure if
00:16:11
it is worth the extra Field Time in
00:16:14
order to build it up versus just going
00:16:15
for additional stuns on the enemy just
00:16:17
kind of depends on the situation right
00:16:19
but we can see here that already this um
00:16:22
Evelyn with the marato desire in
00:16:24
comparison to Soldier is performing much
00:16:26
better against pompy she definitely does
00:16:28
do a lot more noticeable damage when it
00:16:31
comes to well you know she is a featured
00:16:34
srank fire attacker instead of soldier
00:16:37
being kind of the more free-to-play
00:16:38
friendly option but yeah Evelyn here
00:16:41
with the Marcado desire did output
00:16:45
36,5 38 points worth of performance
00:16:48
against pompy in this situation so the
00:16:52
next example I have is with Soldier
00:16:55
however this time Soldier has the
00:16:57
brimstone soldier with the rimstone got
00:16:59
37,3 43 points of course this is just
00:17:02
literally one attempt with each team so
00:17:04
please take it with a giant grain
00:17:05
assault but we can see here that Evelyn
00:17:08
you know with a freet to-play won versus
00:17:10
soldier with her signature won I feel
00:17:12
like their performance is pretty similar
00:17:13
and from what I've seen and play tested
00:17:15
in other areas of the game they feel
00:17:17
pretty similar in that regard but what
00:17:19
if you get Evelyn with her signature won
00:17:22
in this case the heart string nocturn
00:17:25
well now her damage is absolutely
00:17:28
massive because that signature won
00:17:30
provides a massive massive damage boost
00:17:33
to her and a massive massive performance
00:17:36
boost to Evelyn so we can see here that
00:17:39
she is just outputting a ton of damage
00:17:41
against pompy and if we go to the final
00:17:44
stun cycle of this fight we can see here
00:17:46
that I also didn't focus on building the
00:17:48
resources instead I was focusing on more
00:17:52
so just outputting more stun durations
00:17:54
and windows I should actually go back
00:17:56
and count how many stun Windows there
00:17:58
were for this this fight but also
00:18:00
another interesting thing is that Astra
00:18:01
Ya's ultimate synergizes very well Astra
00:18:05
ya will give Evelyn those free chain
00:18:07
attacks up to two additional chain
00:18:08
attacks if you do it correctly right
00:18:10
here I miss a defensive assist which
00:18:12
sucks because that is one uh good way
00:18:15
for Evelyn to get that additional chain
00:18:17
attack but we can see that the last
00:18:18
chain attack didn't finish but we can
00:18:20
see now that her score with her
00:18:22
signature won is now a massive
00:18:27
49333 so once she slap in Evelyn plus a
00:18:30
signature won this is where she really
00:18:32
really starts to shine and
00:18:38
Excel so overall I think Evelyn is
00:18:41
definitely a premium fire attacker that
00:18:43
lives up to being a featured estring
00:18:45
character if you like what you see here
00:18:47
and you need a strong fire DPS character
00:18:50
Evelyn certainly won't disappoint now of
00:18:52
course there's Bernice as well as
00:18:53
soldier 11 and Evelyn definitely
00:18:55
competes more directly with Soldier 11
00:18:57
so do keep that in mind still she's an
00:19:00
incredibly fun character with a dynamic
00:19:02
and fun combo game where you're rewarded
00:19:04
for Learning and optimizing her play
00:19:06
style she's overall a mid difficulty
00:19:08
character to use in my opinion but is
00:19:10
also easier to use than a character like
00:19:12
harumasa again in my opinion anyway let
00:19:15
me know what you think about Evelyn down
00:19:16
in the comments below as always I
00:19:18
appreciate every single one of you this
00:19:20
is I went to lose signing out
