You should have mentioned Catapult and her sick +80% Byproduct Rate for Elite Materials. She has already saved me about 8,000 sanity, and no, I am not exaggerating. When she procs byproducts (which is very often, almost every 2 to 3 combines) she saves you a few runs, or certs. Max those Catapults my dudes. She is low cost and pays upgrade cost after your first E2 and I'm on my 12th now.
@@toddboward4771 yup I'll be making a separate base video. Thanks for the wise words :)
I e2 my eyja today ( my first e2 ^^ ) i mean as a f2p i feel lucky lmao XD Should i e2 my chen or ptilo tho ? I want to focus 1on1
Pancake King they are both great do what you like but I personally like Ptilopsis since you asked for my opinion :)
@@ZealsAmbitions ah yes thank you . I think eyja is enough for my dps and my prob rn is i don't have much tanky operators so i thought ptilopsis would be able to cover it up . Once again thank you for your suggestion ^^
To be honest I E2 for the artwork more than anything.
Skadi ;) ;)
thats why i got skadi and estelle to e2 before silverash
Same, that's why I E2'd Savage first over all.
Siege :')
Same ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
" the best defense is a good offense" *start crying in the corner because im about to E2 my Saria
Calvin's Path Saria is busted and can carry you in many levels and even constingency contract so don’t worry.
@@sommerblume9671 okay thanks, gonna keep going with her then
Saria is AMAZING. When I got her I screamed.
syaondri you can argue and debate over any generalized statement. My 4* e1 Cuora got me through content, but having high damage really nullified any challenge. But yes defense is important too, but I too would choose damage. Saria is a different beast though she can do soooo much.
Saria is exception because her Sp recharge skill.
Not E2ing tanks or healers is a good idea. Unless, of course, if we’re talking about Ptilopsis and Saria.
@@goodboi6624 you mean NOT e2ing your saria?
Honestly, I like those two, but for me, my next e2 target(s) wouldn't be those two, I'll definitely get my healers e1 maxed, but after that it'll be if the tanks die, dps didn't kill fast enough, enemies can't kill you if their hp reaches 0 first
*sad cuora noises* Btw, cuora basically makes faust's purple shot a joke. she just shrugged it off somehow
Novin Raushan it’s true that cuora is good, but e2ing her...isn’t the best, considering there are a lot of better options like Hoshiguma who can also tank the purple shot and do much more.
LMD is always the hardest point-
Nah, in *only* requires 24 runs of CE-5 xd on a serious note tho, it only delayed my Eyja e2 by another day or two, the worst I feel is trying to farm rocks, everything needs rocks
24 wont get me 1m+ LMD lmao
Enju Well grinding for Snowsant I ended up with a little over 200 Orirock cubes. And I ended up with a full potential, E1, high skill level Snowsant.
@@rackedflak3724 wheres the LMD for e2 lv 70
grinding for loxic kohl is more painful than any amount of CE-5 reruns ever will be
I just E2ed Shaw and maxed everything. Everyone else is irrelevant v0v

Two things to point out. 1. F2P players should prioritize getting the recruitment tickets in the T2 certificate shop, since more than half of their yellow certificates will be coming from recruiting 4* units, although this takes a month or two to max out potentials first. 2. Props for pointing out the material categories, but this spreadsheet is actually flawed. It counts T1 materials as having 0 value (alongside some other drops) when looking at the sanity efficiency, when it should at least count them as 1/3 their T2 equivalents, because you can use the workshop to upgrade them. There's at least two spreadsheets floating around Reddit that account for this... Other than that, nice guide!
memetichazard yeah I have seen that spreadsheet and I thought I was looking at the same thing but I will find the link and link it in here! Thanks for pointing that out!

Thank you for the Arknights content and guiding the growing community! Much much appreciated
Thanks for explaining the site. I just tend to use the most efficient solo drop rate but thanks to you I didn't even see that violet parts at individual farming rates
Thanks, I never thought to check what the type tabs really tell you and now that I know, I can start farming e2 materials a lot more efficiently
Zel thanks 🙏
aight, this is a very nice guide and i'm off to E2 my Kroos now
Always quality content man your account is getting up there crazy fast
Is everything ok with You and Your family everyone holding up? Best of luck to You man and thanks for the video and effort.
yeah my dad got discharged few hours ago. Thanks for asking :)
Man between you and Tectone I’m set with quality Arknights youtubers!
yoyo zeals what's up, sick video just in time for my e2
Thanks for sharing the Excel guide
Great video like always
Close. "ll" is actually a "T" sound in Icelandic. So it is more like Ay-Fiata.
"Dont waste Sanity" *Sees my maxed out lappland,while giving no love to SilverAsh,and my other 6star
Doesn’t sound like waste to me :) I meant don’t waste sanity in farming in wrong places
Why waste sanity if im already insane??? XD
Lappland not a total waste, potentially the best possible 5* to e2
Not really a waste tho
@@KyuuteAnimeGrill that I agree
Me at lvl 68 with no e2, coz i want to e1 every 5star and 6star i got 😂😂
Take your time :)
Ah, I get that feeling. Lv 65, f2p, 3 operator left until I get all my operators to e1 lv20
Me: lvl 15 and rushing to e2 my hoshiguma and silver ash Time to waste my sanity
me at lvl 69 e2'ing all my 6 stars while leaving my main team at e1 lv50
Thanks for reiterating these informations, I had to slog through deeper threads of Kyostin's videos' comment section just to gain a lot of aforementioned infos you expounded in this video
And that take me like 2-3 weeks, this video truly helps
Oh also, to add further, the logistic packs from trading OP for the same Orundum + material bonuses from level 50 onwards is filled with decent chunk amount of rarer materials, further more reasons to save OPs just to trade it with those logistics' resources
Ernas 343 yeah it’s megasexy
I didn’t even know there was an E2. I’ve been a “filthy casual” for about 3 months. I’m working on some E1’s.
I plan to make E2 exusiai first. Have seen different opinions about Lappland. Was considering making her next. Is a great five star and a lot cheaper. And thanks for that Excell sheet. Super helpful
Lappland is great, just don't need the silence that much, I have her but yeah I rather get E2 Ptilopsis for my 5*
@@ZealsAmbitions thanks. I'll go with Ptilopsis. Love her too.
Im hoping to get the mats on the upcoming event and drain my current sanity for lvling mats and lmd
Thanks for sharing man
finally. A guide that says when!
thanks bro , I was very confused where to go first hhh
Eyja was the very first unit i got to e2. That being said. I got my first e2 unit yesterday uwu
I've been playing since quarintine, around 2-3 months. I've E2 in this order: SilverAsh +S3M3 > Schwarz > Amiya > Meteorite > Myrtle last week > Skyfire earlier. I have the mats ready for FEater since I like her a lot, but I'm thinking it out first. I also have Blaze, Saria, Lappland and Executor for potentials E2, it's hard to choose. I think that my team is already good enough and all Skills at 7 so I can just go by favorites now.
First things first - really glad to know your pops is discharged and is on the mend, and of course, I'm super happy to see you uploading Zeals. Secondly, on to my waifu..wait, what? Exusiai is defo going to be my first E2. Not that I was attached to her when I rolled her or anything. I'm not totally obsessed with Exusiai, I swear. I did 7 her skill as soon as I could, her second skill is off the charts crazy. Been chipping away, got myself autoing CE and LE 5 for stocks, that was my main priority of the past week. I'm like that, I see a stage where I could hit for the most bang, and I do it. I hate farming things sub optimally on games, just how my brain works. Glad my LE amd CE 4 days are behind me lol I can't lie, it's pretty intimidating thinking about E2ing, even though I can't wait. Put myself behind the curve on the story to farm the top stages, but hey. Lobe the vid Zeals, keep being awesome my guy. Much love.
Anth B Exuisai is definitely a good choice 👍
Thx for this i really need to e2 my silverdaddy right now skullshatterer is a pain
Hey Z miss u man, i hope everything is good with u and urs !!? Its just nice to see u well👏
yeah he's home and recovering from the surgery :) Thanks for asking
It's too bad I didn't see this until after I got my 3rd e2'd Op on my 1st/main account, but best thing for me is I did get Eyjafjalla to e2 just recently, before her was Exusiai, and Schwarz who became my first two e2's, Exu because she's a cute and I seen her power early on, Schwarz because I liked her style and I did commit whale to get her Pot6, so I felt it was only right that I invest a lot into her, next was Eyja because the power of sheep
Rams*
@@stanleychen5754 I know, just a little joke since translation decided to say lambs instead of rams
1 week in and I e2d my SA like a madman. Kinda slowed down to let my OPs catch up a bit.
My roadmap right now Amiya E2, Manticore E2, Cuora E2.
E2 Siege is worth my time because of the new talent and she can regen sp when the enemy died within her radius so she can flip so many times and continuously dealing crazy aoe damage in my case atleast
And here's me getting Meteorite S1 M3 right off the bat
For sure..eyja gonna be my first e2..baby goat is lit uwu
69% trust on SA. Nice
Hope your family is doing good... I E2 my Silver Ash and i dont have any more 6 stars so sad...i summon twice and got a bunch of 3 and 4 stars only my luck so awesome
Gerry Thao thanks and SilverAsh is enough
i had 4 SA by recruitment. I don't know whether to be sad or happy, i wish i had 1 apple pie
It's ironic that I have just recently e2'd skadi and you mentioning her right there to my face
I'm working on e2 my 3rd unit silver ash to help me clear annihilation 3 I already have ptilopsis and angelina Ptilopsis is pretty cheap to e2 and her passive makes everyone else more powerful
Im watching this even tho im just lvl 30 i cant wait to E2 my Exusiai and Surtr
Angelina was my first 6 star and also my first E2 :D
I really wanted my E2 to be an op that is special to me so did Skyfire first, then Hellaboi so now just waiting for CC to get more resources to E2 my third.
imma e1 max everything and then imma e2 SA for shng shing shing
Ty for the vid. going to E2 Silverash first but my second e2 will be Shining cuz she's waifu and the reason I downloaded this game haha
i dont have an E2 OP yet but what i plan is to E2 Exusiai>Ptilopsis>Lappland>Weedy then after that i'll just E2 whoever i want. if im lucky and got SilverAsh in gacha or recruitment, then i'll prioritize him first.
broooo, you e2 ifrit to m3 her s2, as its armor strip is gr8
I came for the guide, I saw He - Man. Me : Imma tap my hat for one legend to another.
Me at lvl 52 with e2 SA and lapp. Guess I'm doing something right huh
Yes you are :) congrats!
Got my silverash to E2 yesterday. The plan is to maxed out nian to lvl 80 first, then switch to exusiai and e2 her. I only have 4 6star and the 4th one is magallan. I guess magallan is a beast at E2 but idk do i need her this early or not. Coz if i decide wrong i will only make my progress harder. Maybe going to 5 or 4 star first then her
Thank you for introducing me to Arknights! I've been looking for another game like this for a long time and I finally found it thanks to you. I love it. And if it gets as much content as Millenium War Aigis it's going to be one of my longterm staples from now on.
Thank you for checking it out
The exp and LMD requirements are a pain in the ass. Exp cost so much LMD....
I'm having trouble which to e2 in my other account. Although my first e2 would be Lappland (because I love her lol). Seriously, I was thinking of E2ing BP, but i never expected to get Lappland last Saturday. After I E2 Lappland, I don't know if I should e2 BP or Exuisia. And I don't have Defenders like Hoshiguna and Saria. But I like Gummy because she can literally save lives if you combo her first skill with the healers for constant healing and that 1 second stun really helps too. I'm wondering if it's alright to e2 her or just maxed her e1?
eyy im gonna e2 my eyja too when i can :D
E2 maxed both skills M3 Projekt Red
I see I understand I push the like button
You E2 your Eyja or your Silverash first and level it up to 20, then use a support to cover the one you don't have and easy beat Annihilation 3 400 kills. Afterwards, Ptilopsis is always a solid choice. Then, waifus and husbandos.
Exactly my path how’d you know? 😂
Follow your ninja path
The owner of the chart is also a KZheadr that has arknights guide for beginners
Do a video on operators to level/E1/E2 for base gains and how to recruit Castle 3. I E1ed Frostleaf, Perfumer, and Steward even tho I don't regularly use them for those sweet sweet Factory gainss. Once you beat A3, it's all about maxing your base efficiency and I don't think any of the other Arknights KZheadrs are going into depth on ultimate base gains
Joshua Goldman thanks for the suggestion I will see what I can in due time.
@@ZealsAmbitions gamewith.net/arknights/article/show/14981
Imma E2 Estelle first for that beautiful art
I'm jealous
This is a n awesome video, well done bro, very well explained. Like and Subscribe
Thanks a ton and more to come
Owh yeass dady
I've been playing so long it feels like. I have 45 E2 operators. I didn't know you could exchange tokens for certificates. I just claimed over 500 yellow certs and thousands of green certs.
My problem is managing my LMD cause damn everything from e2 Exu and Ifrit I only got 3 digit lmd
I would e2 lancet-2 if I could
Sameeee
Buy the monthly subscription, lads. 60 sanity everyday is worth your 5usd/ month, if you play AK everyday. I've been playing daily for 3 months, and I already E2 5 6-stars, 7 5-stars and 2 4-stars. 2hours play time/ every day.
Still trying to find a good place to farm the Kohl items, heared there was an event for it a while ago... Sucks cuz it can't be built up and you always need near 20 of the f*** things.
I just farm 4-4
@@ZealsAmbitions thx, have been. 10 runs got me 4 of them.
I E2'd my waifus and I have no regrets
My first E2 is vigna EZ enough. But damn my 2nd E2 is siege what a pain in the ass.
Should i e2 mostima?
It's just a theory, I'm not follow your tips but i have 2 e2 *6 at lv 45 Build your base, its important Sorry for bad english👌🏿
melantha e2 when?
4-7 is a struggle
Seeing D32 steel gives me ptsd,oh boy
11:34 "to the dot to the T" >over spent 200 XP how can i trust any of these recommendations now? xD
lol nobody aint got time for that!
Hello bois
How can i recharge my drone materials,is that automatic? My base workshop n cc lack :"(
Automatic yah
ah confuse ,do i have to E2 amiya first then skadi exu too many choice
for best bang for your buck in performance I would do Exu first, but if you're just going for waifu do whatever you like :)
For F2P players, you dont have much certificate, so you should just materials with high sanity value and farm the rest
Nguyen Long yup you won’t have a lot of course but anything helps out
Thanks, now i know how to waste my resources more ~
I'm thinking of E2 Eyjafjalla Should i do her first?
Yeah she’s a great choice!
@@ZealsAmbitions thanks.. my first pick was Skadi but i saw everyone going crazy for Eyja
If i had a Skadi, I would promote her faster than i can say "SilverAsh first"
She’s my favorite
@@ZealsAmbitions Too bad i didn't get her and here i am getting SilverAsh in both Headhunt and Recruit.
Any interest in covering Seven Deadly Sins Grand Cross?
I'm planning on E2 ing my Specter, she is going to be my first E2 but is her E2 good??
Yup she’s good
Thanks for replying and sorry about my bad english
No problem your English is great
Is skadi and ifrit worth it? I havent raised them
Ifrit is insane damage. Skadi for your first e2?
6* are pain in the ass to E2 that why i E2 them first EXUSIAI,ANGELINA AND SHINING done Now for 5* (LOXIC KOHL, GRINDSTONE, THAT GOLDEN STAR THING ARE pain too farm so certificate )
SHNOW LEPARD GOS SHWING SHWING
I have this really embarrassing secret.... When I first started Arknights, I would E2 useless characters just to see the fresh, E2 artwork, I just-
Its Eya-Fyat-La almost :D
Haha I suck at names
I just want E2 cuz it's oretty
mfw due to bad advice before i've been grinding on the most inefficent stages.
Hope the vid helped then :)
Recommended website : penguin-stats.io/result/item For oriron cluster, S4-1 actually is better than 2-8, because the data didnt consider 'Extra Drops' item
Yup check out the video description it’s all there three separate links
I got Mt first E2 (Exu) in 4 days.. And My second E2(SA) in 2 Days.. Been playing this game for 2 weeks.. and I'm F2P..
How to gain e2 promotion lmd?
lmd stage
Wait, having friends means something?
*Antisocial screaming*
Rip Im F2P level 70 with 12 E2s 💀 and I thgt Im shit way behind whales
Unpopular opinion: 6 and 5 star operator E2s are easier than 4 star E2s
awesome video Zeals! you listened to my feedback!
Dongwon Ko which feedback?
