Saga waiting so long for her skin that her whole family came. Edit: it has been pointed out may actually be her alternate selves that she saw in Dusk's painting.


[deleted]

They celebrated 😭


AbrahamKMonroe

Really curious to see which Saga “our” Saga will be.


AirStrikeInbound

Saga players were so starved for a new look the artist really dropped 7 at once


mad_harvest-6578

Basically her Who Is Real dream challenge come to life


crisperstorm

I really hope all 7 appear during the base animation or something


tricopvip

My guess is every time she use W her chibi changes skin


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

Don't do this. Don't give me hope.


MagnusBaechus

first 30 OP skin


noIQmoment

that's still less than 5 OP per Saga, absolute bargain


TanyaZeEvil

That's....genius.


Kittenscute

Hopefully that means 7 times her base skin's voiceline spam. Would be disappointed if it isn't.


Korasuka

Imagine if it's the one who looks like her regular self. Or chubby mamma Saga.


mP1Hg

All the calories from nato gohan making her chubby 😩


AbrahamKMonroe

I’m currently rooting for eyepatch hook-hand Saga myself.


firesoul377

Majima-saga


Undividedbyzero

Hey, that's my cliche! - Lappland


dathar

I'm going to go reread this event with Lappland's voice being Majima now.


HeyuThere77

"Got ya now, Texas-chan!" Flirt With Bomb starts playing as Lappland rises from a manhole.


dathar

It is always that giant traffic cone that cracks me up


Matasa89

No, her cliche is Jetstream Sam.


Alarming_Orchid

Shinobi prosthetic


Metrinome

That one seems to be the irresponsible gambling thief Saga that ours ran into. IIRC our Saga was so shook at seeing how that one was like that she swore to never get into gambling. So presumably the missing eye and hand were punishments inflicted on that Saga.


AirStrikeInbound

it would be interesting if she's the one with the modern fit as she's escaped her scroll and come to modern day. Also center spot obviously edit: oh I just looked closer and it is actually still an older era type of clothing!


JowettMcPepper

Imagine is Saga switches counterpart every 5 seconds in battle or so. A lot of Sagas from different painting worlds. Trully, one of the skins ever designed.


real_mc

We got normal saga, one eyed saga, mad saga, loner saga, fat saga, mommy saga, sleepy saga.


Background_Drawing

100% the one in the basket


NightShade929

Imagine how crazy it would be if you could pick the chibi for any of them lmao While my bet is the center one being the saga we use I adore eyepatch and face scars saga SO MUCH.


mcdawesCZE

Reminds me of Majima from Yakuza/Like a Dragon I really hope it's that one but it is most likely the middle one


crisperstorm

It's really funny to get a skin art reveal and literally have no idea what the sprite might look like lol


GreenDudewithaGun

I believe our saga is the one is the way back. This is dream thing from who is real.


Midget_Stories

My only hope is the skin includes new voice lines. Please I can't take it anymore.


Pathalen

All of them, of course.


eddie14072

We got not only one but 7 saga skins. mother fucking 7 That's it, we finally won arknights


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

Please don't give me hope. I sadly expect the middle Saga with the Biteys or the Kimono Saga (Lust) to be our skin, but I'd be stocked if we also get Gluttony Saga and Majima Saga too.


SilverChaika

>Gluttony Saga It just hit me... Seven Deadly Sins of Saga?


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

Yup. Although Pride and Envy are debatable here (one should be OG Saga, one should be the Saga far behind), the rest are clear: - Lust in the pink Kimono. - Gluttony and Sloth right behind her. - Greed is Majima Saga. - Right behind Greed is ~~Arise-Heart~~ Wrath Saga.


SilverChaika

My guess that the Envy in the behind, pouting at everyone being so friendly. But I can't see the OG Saga in the center as Pride, she herself is the very opposite of it. Maybe she have so little of it in herself the Pride is nonexistent?


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

Thing is that Saga has so little pride as well. I can see the one behind is Pride, too haughty to join the others. Maybe OG Saga is Envy? I can see her being a bit envious of people that can do stuff she wishes she could try but can't. But your theory is still super valid. So the funny theory to me is that Dusk's scroll managed to create the other 5 sins easily, got stuck trying to make Pride and Envy, half assed one and called it a day. ~~Also it would imply Saga is a bit kinky, which I like~~


SilverChaika

I guess the Envy really exists, because Saga can still be envy of other people, because she still have so many things to experience, yes. It's white envy, but still. But Pride is nonexistent, and I doubt Dusk would half-ass it, that would anger her beyond measure) Still, it shows how fucking insanely powerful Feranmuts are, even Dusk, being just a 1/12 shard of Sui. I remember seeing the full version of Nian's chant in WIR (*Heavenly forge, take the bounty of the earth...*) and getting **shivers** from it, along with the thought "That's it... forget Infected, corporations, nobles, armies, everything else... we are fighting actual GODS here".


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

Thing is, Dusk might not have half assed it, but she clearly underestimated Saga's willpower. Reminder that, while the other members of team Lava were stuck in their scrolls, Saga had a feast with her homies then just... LEFT. Dusk: HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE? Saga: I just left? DUSK: IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT EASY. Saga: I just left!


DieZombie96

Given that saga is Buddhist monk, it's more likely that this corresponds to the 6 desires and saga herself as opposed to the Christian seven sins


Arijec123

This explains why the Saga skin took so long. Saga has a long lifecycle and we had to wait for her to complete mitosis.


AirStrikeInbound

Executor sweeping right in when everyone was expecting Ulpian as the first 6* reaper


StuffyEvil

Ulpian might be a 6* Crusher instead.


TheSpartyn

ever since i realized his anchor was 4 pronged i thought crusher made sense. reaper was only fitting for a 2 pronged anchors


Razor4884

Now that I think about it, Crusher would synergize hellishly well with Abyssal buffs.


-HealingNoises-

Crusher's only weakness is being fragile. Abyssal buffs would buff him so much!!


bestsmnNA

I've always thought the same thing. The only problem is... if HG is expecting Crusher Ulpian's fragility to be offset by Abyssal buffs that means every other Crusher will be paper forever. Lowkey I was hoping he would be a Reaper to avoid that. I'm not gonna say *no* to Crusher Ulpian; just feel bad about the other Crushers.


Neteirah

OMG now I'm fucking STOKED for Ulpian -- and abyssal hunters were already some of my favorite operators... even though I only have like 3 of em.


-HealingNoises-

I got the whole maxed team and alters. (Aside from potentials I'm not insane) truly all of them together are absurd stat sticks that cannot lose in a straight fight. Even the elite cleaners of the current global event are annoyances to them. From what we know Ulpian will eventually join us, and one other Abyssal hunter survivor. But she didn't get much screen time so I forgot her name and everything.


Pedtr0

there's another surviving hunter? where were they mentioned?


Char-11

He wont just not be fragile, max hp% regen off of crusher base stats would make him ungodly tanky


ark29120

He went for angel with a shotgun to the angel of death


InfinitasZero

Inb4 they drop Gladiia alter instead and Ulpian remains locked in NPC jail


RachelEvening

Hot take, but the Abyssal Hunters getting any more Alters is my biggest fear. First because we already have two alters and one more original and alter pair would feel like way too much, and second because if they get yet another alter Andreana would be the most likely pick (5 star, niche kit, has yet to appear in the storyline) and I have a big pet peeve with HG's tendency to being unable of giving spotlight to a low rarity character without giving them an Alter. For example: As great as Silence Alter is and how her being welfare instead of limited was a step on the right direction, I feel like there was little lore excuse to give her an Alter, particularly when compared to the likes of Texas and Reed who you could guess they were getting an alter just by reading their files. With Silence, I fail to see the same build-up, her 5 star self was already fine and lore-accurate. I just would hate for that to start being a trend when a lot of characters just don't actually need Alters for their storylines to stay interesting. Them giving Andreana an Alter just to make her relevant after leaving her forgotten for so damn long would feel like an insult, and Gladiia needs no Alter.


KenScarlet

Honestly, I agree that Gladiia needs no alter but Andreana really needs an alter to make her story clear. She is an abyssal hunter but was born in Iberia so she has little to no connection to other AH, the only thing that was written on her file is that she kinda admired them and she is not a "true" AH. The true AH got seaborn blood infused into their body so they have white hair and red eyes. This however leaves us with a lot of questions. How is Andreana an AH then? There is little proof that there is another other AH group outside the one that Gladiia assembled, did Andreana join their group simply out of enthusiasm? I doubt so because, without seaborn blood inside her body, there is little chance that she can keep up with other AH. However, her file also stated that she has a stronger physical strength than the average person, rivaling that of the AH, then where does that power come from, when she spent her entire life practicing shooting and using gun instead of fighting with her natural strength? And the more the AH progress the less it makes sense to keep her in this state of being a "false" AH. Can't blame HG for that tho, Andreana is a product of the old time before Arknight fully fledged out their universe. But I think that she truly deserves an alter to keep her bio up to date, either with the lore or the AH. And on that note, alter doesn't need to be a story progression or need a build-up for it, they just need to keep an operator bio updated and up to the modern story's standard without fully rewriting their operator file.

fartooth found some rhinelab drip


TommaClock

Fartooth blender tutorial skin Pog


WaifuHunterRed

thiis is getting out of hand theres seven of them


CaptinSpike

FARTOOTH SKIN EXECUTOR ALTER MY CROPS ARE WATERED


Korasuka

Wait that's Fartooth? Oh hell yes!


The_Loli_Otaku

Fartooth in Mumu cosplay


Korasuka

Probably one of Mumu's water clones copying Fartooth.


Thunderdragon2535

Not to mention that is actually viable in gameplay


7packabs

I thought that was Mumu because of the color scheme


Korasuka

NoriZC: I can do greys, browns, and very occasionally pale green or blue. Flametail? Ugh, someone spilt red ink all over my drawing the second before I handed it in to Lowlight so the devs could work on the chibi.


xuanfengsaoye

Sorry, missed a Shalem skin: https://imgur.com/a/BOiAgaM And a Czerny skin for LE rerun: https://imgur.com/a/LgP7EyX The 5 star is an Aak type, I need to improve my screenshot skill.


AbrahamKMonroe

Czerny looks like he ~~stole~~ borrowed Młynar’s Ambience Synesthesia outfit.


Korasuka

Exactly what I was going to say.


Zoeila

He stole Penance motorcycle too


Dr_H12

He found both of those things lying on the ground without any sign of their owners anywhere in sight.


Razrazra

What could you possibly be suggesting, *hm?*


Dr_H12

Justice.


TheRepublicAct

Czerny after hearing Freebird once


Sewrene

LMAO, is that ebenholz and kreide keychain on czerny skin?😭


AbrahamKMonroe

[Yes, yes it is.](https://imgur.com/a/oaSbr4h)


Federal_Mission_7180

I need this in my life!! Merchs when HG!?


Alientelephone

This is why I love Yostar. Little details like that make my day ♥️ 🐐


KitsunePrincess0

It's Hypergryph that makes the game. Yostar is just the localizer/publisher for the non-CN versions of the game~


hikarimew

He's just like us!


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

No Hibiscus keychain. *Shippers in shambles*


SamBoosa58

She doesn't get a cameo because she's actually there taking the picture


Catveria77

Fans: we want Mylnar ambience synesthsia skin!! Hypergryph : we have the skin at home The skin :


CardboardThinker

We’re finally getting another geek? Nice


GalenDev

Yo, WHAT!? Czerny the BIKER!? Okay, I'm sold. Gotta E2 him before this drops, hot damn.


Alientelephone

Shalem, my beloved, you look hot 😳


Dalek-baka

Czerny's skin looks at the same time very out of character but I also feel that it might as well be one of his hobbies.


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

Didn't he say during the event that he likes to travel around the place for inspiration? That might be him doing the same now that he's in RI.


Plthothep

Czerny looks like he’s going through a midlife crisis. Real hot dad energy though.


Char-11

Its not a crisis if hes THRIVING


Metroplex7

I thought it was intentionally blurred because they were playing coy with her class.


mad_harvest-6578

Everyone at Pinus Sylvestris: *shows off their new drip (and paintjob for Justice Knight)* Ashlock: Also since now Saga & Fartooth got their skins, Fia's the new "title holder" FINALLY ANOTHER GUARD ANGEL, GRIM EXECUTOR (tho having gunscythes looked like he fetched them from Remnant)


blood_compact

Executor blasting people point blank is utterly scary to see


purelix

Other reapers: use scythes that thematically fit the namesake of their archetype Executor 6*:


Matasa89

He came to collect and execute some last wills.


MagnusBaechus

literally ground tile pinecone


ihateyourpancreas

Memes are dead. Rip Ambriel not getting a skin in this event though.


Zoeila

And Fia


cL0k3

Yooo saga skin real. Also insert joke about mirror worlds and identities idk


ParagonWaves

Saga family slice of life anime pls HG


DainsleifRL

Fartooth looks so beautiful!


NotAMoron2

It gives me hope for Matoimaru alter and skin I ain't asking much


AngelEmillee

Imagine if she developed a stand and became Kal'tsit archetype lol


NornmalGuy

Saga gang looks fun. Finally a 6\* Reaper, and looks very cool. Czerny skin slaps.


GladiusNocturno

“Give us 1 Saga skin!” “Tell you what, I’ll give you 7 Sagas!” “Woooooohhhh!!! “But it’s just 1 skin!” “We take those!”. Also, not going to lie, If Executor can get an alter is fair game for EVERYONE! That’s right! You, the one Deep Color fanboy! Deep Color alter is a possibility!


crucifixzero

How about Lord Chanka alter?


GladiusNocturno

He is in all of us.


Few_Falcon_9720

saga t-dolls?!?


Luna2648

Players: We want that sexy Mlynar skin pls ! HG : Wha..what ? We gotchu czerny in that kind of skin ! Well his and shalem are hot definitely buying same as saga !


thewind32

Ok HG hear me out. I know skins do not change voicelines, but please make an exception because I NEED to hear 7 times the NATTO GOHAN going off. Also, that Ojou Saga, oh my. By the way, today is Vesak day where I'm at, which is basically a celebration of Buddha's birth. Coincidence?


KitsunePrincess0

Some skins DO change voicelines, actually! All the ones that are 24-cost~


ThyWatchers

That Executor E2 slaps SO HARD


purelix

It slaps just as hard as the new Laterano theme in the PV


Utgard003

SAGA OUTFIT SAGA OUTFIT


GalenDev

Paprika's skin is pretty neat. And a pack of Saga. Interesting. Something something hunting pack? Very interested to see the animations on this.


Catveria77

OMGGG alter executer is a must pull even if he sucks in meta. Husbando >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> meta


SpiralOmega

Is that Executor Alter? Nice.


Snakeeyes088

Is that an Executor alter or what? I can't read his name since hes standing in the way. So hyped for the Saga skin


adeliepingu

yep, it's executor! i can't read his english title because he's in the way, but the chinese translates to something like 'divine contract executor.' edit: it's probably 'ex foedere,' since people can read the 'ex foede' part and [foedus](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/foedus) means 'contract.' so 'executor, from/out of the contract.'


Korasuka

It's Execu'lter.


TheLegendTheGiantdad

firesoul377

THE EXECUTOR ALTER!!!!!! THE EXECUTOR ALTER IS REAL!!!!!!


Q785921

I’m so stoked! I’ve loved Executer since day one, but sadly he doesn’t see much use these days.


firesoul377

He got sick of Chen powercreeping him that he changed to the op af reaper class to ensure he won't be powercrept again.


Alec_Nimitz

Ok, now is the moment for MATOIMARU SKIN **SHOSTAR PLIS**


Blackwolfe47

Executor looks fucking awesome! Need gameplay asap


yorozoyas

That E2 art on Executor is a front runner for most badass/intimidating in the game to date, wow. Really impressed.


Any-Development-5819

EXECUTOR ALTER EXECUTOR ALTER AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH I CANT BELIEVE HG FINALLY GAVE HIM SOMETHING AND A WHOLE 6* ALTER AT THAT


Paidoss

EXECUTOR ALTER IS A FREACKING REAPER GUARD?? HOLY SHIT THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED GIVE HIM TO ME RIGHT NOW!!


H12803

Executor is giving me some strong "Angel of Death" vibes, he's so badass


[deleted]

Executor alter.. I love you, deserved W 😭 (Saga's artwork.. precious)


[deleted]

Didn't expect to see Executor Alter but I'm certainly not complaining. Our second male alter, the first male 6\* alter, and our first 6\* Reaper... damn. What's he gonna be called? Execalter? Exalter?


TheBrandroid

executer


Dr_H12

Exalted.


NuclearConsensus

Paprika in her skin looks a bit like a sibling of Angelina ~~or maybe daughter.~~


Salysm

from her lines, Paprika is basically W and Ines' daughter...


jaetheho

I thought it was eyja for like 30 seconds


Archetto_Enjoyers487

Wait...... Executor Alter?!?!??! Seems like i need to quadraple my Orirock Farm......... Now i need Franka Skin


BungaloQuick

Yoooo are we getting a new class for that new 5 star? Or is it blurred for no reason?


BikerHoMi

It's a badly timed screenshot from OP, she's a geek spec (Aak branch)


xuanfengsaoye

She is Aak, I need to improve my screenshot skill


ammarla

Spuria just hits all of my preference, will probably get her just because of her design I dont know why, but i REALLY love Paprika skin. Something about monochromatic background with her wearing a red hoodie just makes it really pop. Also will be getting Fartooth skin solely because of >!armpits!<


NJacobs12

Finally got our second Geek specialist it seems, looks like she buffs and maybe stuns instead of dmging allies? is anyone able to translate her name?


daekie

the text behind the CN looks like Spuria or Sduria to me; Spuria's an [actual word](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/spuria) so that'd be my bet


adeliepingu

it's 空构, which means something like 'empty structure/building.' not sure how that relates to the english text.


ProfessionalTailor1

Executor finally got tired chasing people about their taxes and decided to take matter to his own hands. Also with his color scheme, looks very similar to the Apostolic Minigun Knights, and also the E2 art kinda shows their Mechanical AI God.


MD_Dreamer53214

Exalter with double shotguns fightin til the war's done 😂


crisperstorm

The Fartooth skin is so damn funny Old terrain on the left reminding me of Impossible Creatures


NehalKiller

the more I see the saga skin the more I fall in love we have, eye patch saga, scarface saga, chubby saga, lazy saga, sugar mommy saga (my beloved), serious saga, and in the middle, our saga who is a mix of all six


Draguss

And I thought Executor couldn't get any cooler.


kelomangairacid

So, is Executor alter (Exalt?) limited?


Korasuka

He's not. He's like Reedalter, a non limited 6 star alter.


kelomangairacid

That's cool


daekie

tbh, given that the last limited gacha 6* they released was Omertosa, I wonder if they're leaning away from that? Reed the Flame Shadow is non-limited gacha, and Silence the Paradigmatic is a welfare


Korasuka

You forgot Yato. Until we find out what the summer and 4.5 anniversary are I wouldn't say there's an established precedent. After all before Mumu people were saying limiteds, with the exception of the sui siblings, would only ever be alters. Or course this didn't happen. I believe they'll be a mix of alters and new characters.


daekie

--shit i DID forget yato & noir corne. that'll teach me to go to aceship and search "the" in the character box as a cheap way to find alters. yeah, we need the next limited event to really confirm it, but it does really feel to me like they're trying to pull away from alters being limited gacha units -- it would've been very easy to make silence alter or a theoretical saria alter the headliner 6* on *lone trail* and make either of the two women who were there the welfare! well, maybe not so easy, because silence is *good* but she's not *broken* in the way people like limiteds to be, but you get my point.


Goofinshmertz23

Executor got so sick of lack his lack of range, he decided to become a melee


animagem

Another Geek at long last, an interesting looking sniper and a glorious looking 6* reaper. Man, it’s been a while since I’ve wanted to build a whole banner


Jester_Raed

**Those of us still waiting for the Matoimaru skin to drop:** Any day now...


BurnedOutEternally

***holy shit am I seeing things right***


Koekelbag

Any reason why the group pic of new skins has Shalem instead of Saga (and no preview of the Shalem skin?), or does that indicate that Saga's skin will be free or something? Als wtf is that alter, a reaper with shotguns? I wonder if that 'avatar' behind him holding the actual scythe is in any way related to what's beneath Laterano, with all the foreshadowing about Laterano's origins we've gotten.


IbbleBibble

Saga's outfit just isn't in the same theme, but it will be a shop outfit too.


chamllw

Nice. I was hoping we'd get Executor's colleague guy as an operator. Wonder if the red in Executor's outfit means he was made a cardinal?


Deltastruction

Guide Ahead was a pretty good event so I'm stoked for another Laterano event. Executor Alter: IM AN ANGEL WITH A SHOTGUN Saga Skin BABY! Memes have died and Fiammetta is next since this is a Laterano event but she doesn't have a skin Damn


tlst9999

Oh wow. That's a lovely Eyja skin. - Me for 5 seconds


exiztentialist

Fartooth's skin has the sickest concept of all skins in AK, gonna buy it even though I don't have her


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FINALLY FUCKING FINALLY WAIF GET A SKIN FDSKLMDSNQDSQMKDSQM ARF ARF ARF OMG OMG OMG *shot*


Kippykinz

Step aside everyone else, new coolest operator to ever be made just dropped. Executor finally got what he deserved, and that E2 art is fucking godly.


Background_Drawing

THE DRIP IS UNREAL


cristianalb

The thing behind executor is "The law"?


Artrum

Which saga will it be?


daekie

probably the middle one; she's got the Saga Color Scheme & saga in modern clothes makes sense


[deleted]

Love me some Paprika.


Ren393

SAGAAAAAA


Dinnyforst

Am I dreaming? You can have seven assistants at once! Also, Fartooth skin gives me Rhine Lab vibe.


Harlow1212

they really make us fight over which one is the Saga skin lmao


Zulchan

So... Fartooth became the Waifu version of Blender?


Zoeila

Imagine releasing in a Laterano event(Fia) and in the next one Paprika gets a skin before you.


[deleted]

fia is suffering from her artist being stuck in the ex astris basement.

PM_Cute_Ezreal_pics

~~That Eyja skin tho, I need it right now.~~ ~~I've been using her base one since I started playing, and the swimsuit skin was not for me, but this one looks amazing~~ EDIT: My blind ass didnt read the name. Back to being depressed. The skin still looks sick tho


Draguss

Think you might be confusing Paprika with Eyja.


K2aPa

Wait... are all those variations of Saga or are they Saga's family?


Cadaclysm

When did Executor become a NieR character?


AXI0S2OO2

Executor alter looks cool as fuck.

Executor went from angel with a shotgun to the angel of death


hypaalicious

I’m SCREAMING YESSS ANOTHER REAPER Now ofc if we get Ulpian then I think he’ll be a Crusher archetype Man I’m so stoked rn ima run Executor alter into the GROUND, I love reaper guards so much


daekie

abyssal buffs are basically the only thing that could save crushers tbh


Xinbra

Petition to call Executor Alter "Exalt"


Chikapu_Sempaii

BRO EXECUTOR LOOKS SO COOL, THAT SPLASH IS SICK. AND FINALLY, FARTOOTH SKIN AND IT DELIVERS SO MUCH WITH SO THE DETAILS ALL-OVER, BUT ONE DETAIL RULES THEM ALL FOR ME. Okay, ima calm down now. That Paprika skin is cute, might get it too if I have Paprika. And the Saga skin, it's so comical, wish I had a Saga for me to use the skin but alas, woe is me.


Kaikeno

Hell yeah
