6s Coming to you from the Amazon Games Community team, it's the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club!
12s With your host, straight out of a rocks box, it's Roxx!
23s Welcome to the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club.
26s This is where our contestants debate to prove they have what it takes not to be in Mokoko.
30s I'm Roxx, and I'm here to make sure Stoopzz doesn't try to sell you any more fish.
35s Right, Mokoko?.
35s Or DPS Paladins.
38s Good point.
39s And with that, let's kick off our show and bring out our first contestant.
42s Here is Stoopzz.
47s Jazz hands.
47s Next up, we have Grenton.
52s Also jazz hands.
55s Lots of jazz hands today.
55s Finally, we're bringing out Bobajenny.
60s Hi everyone.
61s And last but not least, maybe least, DatModz.
67s I did not mean to hesitate.
69s I apologize.
70s What did I do to deserve that?
71s I know.
72s I'm sorry.
73s You came out last.
74s It wasn't your fault.
76s All right, let's get right into things with our warm-up debate.
79s This is going to be a 2v2.
81s Today we have DatModz and Bobajenny versus Stoopzz and Grenton.
85s For today's topic, who is better to dance with - Nia or Shana?
91s I see wheels turning.
92s I see wheels turning.
94s Bobajenny and DatModz, I will give you both Nia.
99s You two take Shana.
100s Aw!
102s I sense that I've made the correct choice.
104s All right.
104s I'll give you all a minute to strategize.
107s We're going to counter it hopefully.
111s Oh.
112s Doesn't Nia looks like a kid?
113s Yeah.
113s Yeah.
114s Hey, you.
116s Yeah.
117s I mean, you staring at your computer right now.
120s Are you kind of sad when you watch this show because you wish you were up here and debating and sharing your opinions very loudly?
126s I have some good news for you.
127s You can debate and share your opinions very loudly - in our new Discord server.
131s We have a Lost Ark-specific Discord server that you can join to engage with other members of the community, talk to each other, and of course, share your own opinions and have your own debates.
141s Just please make sure you do it nicely or the mods will be sad.
144s You can join over at Discord.gg/PlayLostArk and honestly, we hope to see you there.
150s All right.
150s One team has strategized and that is good enough for me.
154s Remember, the only rule is that there are no rules.
157s Say whatever you want.
158s Get it all out there now so we can be super, super serious, as we always are, later.
163s All right, debaters, are you ready?
165s Yeah, we are.
166s Go right ahead.
167s Listen, I know what you guys are going to say, but Nia has no one to dance with.
172s No one picks Nia.
173s Okay?
173s Everyone picks Shana.
175s She's the cool chick.
176s Nia needs someone to go to the...
178s You don't want to see that little girl go to the dance crying.
180s She saved the entire village.
181s You're a dad.
182s You know what that's like.
184s Do you love when your kiddo's crying like that?
186s The basis of your argument is that the best person to dance with is a pity dance.
191s It's okay.
191s You're a chaperone.
192s You got to make sure - What does Shana do compared to Nia?
195s Shana's adventurous.
195s She's crazy.
196s She does nothing.
197s She just stands in the corner and does nothing.
199s She actually is just laying on the floor and then you have to save her.
201s Yeah.
202s You got to save her - a damsel in distress.
204s She's a bozo, man, you got to save her over there.
206s You're the hero - that's what you're supposed to do.
208s There's a remix online of the only thing that she says - "I smell blood" like 12 times in the story, okay?
212s Yeah, she's crazy.
213s Nia saves the village!
216s The thing is, when you go dance with Shana, you might go do the Lailai, but you get the salsa instead.
220s She did the Lailai too man, she can do a little salsa if she wants to.
224s She's a little reserved, she's a little stiff.
224s You don't think she deserves someone to dance with after saving everybody with the Albion scene?
229s Shana's like the extra in the movie no one likes.
231s No.
232s Still she needs someone to dance with, Mr.
235s Modz.
235s Honestly I think both choices are wrong.
237s I think Berver would be the best to dance with.
240s You look like Berver man.
246s And he has a ukulele - you can dance anywhere.
249s The right answer is Nia.
250s She needs a dance partner.
252s She needs a dance partner.
253s She can't go to the dance by herself, she saved the whole village.
255s Okay, she needs a little bit of compassion.
258s It's messed up.
258s She was crying by herself.
259s That's a pity dance, though.
260s You danced with her.
261s You're only dancing with Shana because you fear for your life she's going to, like, stab you or something.
265s That's a good reason to dance with somebody.
269s All right, I think that's going to do it for our warm-up debate.
272s I know we don't pick winners, but I DatModz won with Berver.
276s This is a rigged show.
277s Sorry, but I make the rules.
279s Anyway, we're going to go ahead and cut to a commercial break.
281s And when we get back, we'll get into our 1v1 debate.
290s Hey, everyone.
292s Neria here to tell you about my fine dining eatery, Neria's Tavern.
295s I know what you're thinking - Neria's Tavern!
298s That's got countless reviews for all her fine meals.
302s Wow.
302s Rainbow candy!
303s Seafood stew!
305s Gelato!
306s That's right.
307s We got it all.
308s Come on down to Neria's Tavern, where the food's hearty and filling, and I'm always happy to make you a drink or lend you an ear.
315s And as for the atmosphere, well, it's lively and fun, just like Arkasia itself.
321s So come on down to Neria's Tavern and see for yourself why I'm the best tavern owner in Arkasia.
326s And don't forget to leave a review - we've got lots of them.
330s Yum!
331s Neria's Tavern: come for the food, stay for the rapport.
340s So, we're gonna talk about Stoopzz.
344s Igo Baba.
345s El Shishe.
346s How many more names does this guy have?
347s How is he going to stand his ground when he can't stand on his chicken legs?
353s I just want to know, how is he doing that?
356s Maybe it's because he has $1,000,000 garage with a hot babe, but that's not the kind of guy that can see eye-to-eye with you.
364s I mean, I don't have that.
366s We can't all just be whales and keep on swiping.
370s We can't just sit at home and pet our cats all day.
374s So vote me, Bobajenny, in the live finale of the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club.
385s All right.
385s Welcome back.
386s It is time for our 1v1 debate.
388s As a quick refresher, contestant one will get one minute to make an argument.
392s Contestant two will get one minute to make an argument, and then they will both get one minute each to argue back.
398s All right.
399s Well, Bobajenny and DatModz - today's debate topic is, which class spends the most time on the floor?
405s Bobojenny, what are you feeling?
409s Don't say it.
412s Reaper.
415s DatModz, what class do you think you'll be going with?
418s That's a very original choice there, Bobajenny.
420s I really have a lot of options.
422s I want to leave mine a mystery since you picked Reaper already.
426s I'll unleash it on you.
429s As long as it's not Reaper, I'll allow it.
430s Okay.
431s All right.
431s I'll give you both a minute to strategize.
437s Strategize by staring at Grenton.
441s Assess the Reaper.
443s Dude, I don't floor POV.
444s I'm sorry.
446s I'm a good Reaper, okay?
447s How do you feel, Grenton?
448s And how did that make you feel?
450s Business as usual.
453s It's not my fault the Reapers they play with have no hands.
456s I wonder what DatModz is going to pick though.
458s I don't think he ...
460s Gunslinger?
461s Has to be Gunslinger.
464s I don't think I have a Glaivier because then we're just going to roast him.
468s Which class spent the most time on the floor?
472s Sorcs.
472s Like a bad igniter Sorc that just sort of stands there?
474s I really do feel like it is Reaper, though.
475s I actually have to be honest.
476s I really dislike Reaper.
477s I mean, the only time I invite them - because there's not that many of them...
482s Like six.
482s No, but I do invite them and they end up somehow just dying.
485s Because you don't invite me.
486s I'd invite you.
486s We can play together.
487s Okay?
488s Yeah.
489s And knowing my luck I'd die.
490s You have to clear Gate Five first first.
492s Six!
492s I cleared Five!
493s I just, you know - Oh, I'm going to meet you at Gate Six?
496s Yeah, we can.
496s Okay.
496s Yeah.
498s If you can make it to the hardest gate in the game, you know, then you can - You'll carry me through?
501s Yeah.
502s All right, we're going to go ahead and get things started.
505s You guys feel like you've had enough time to strategize?
508s Yes.
508s Perfect.
509s All right, Bobajenny, you came in very confident with the Reaper, so I'm going to give you the floor first.
515s Your minute starts now.
516s Okay, So - I'm sorry - but, but, you know, in Reaper's toolkit, there's just a lot of movement speed.
524s And on top of that, you have to build your gauge in order to do a little bit more.
530s The napkin damage, maybe like a paper towel damage.
533s So I feel like, you know, if you're...
535s if you're in Brel and you have to dodge the normal attacks, you have to do, you know, all these mechs and stuff.
541s Sometimes you might just run into a ball, get paralyzed, get knocked off of the platform and stuff like that.
547s So I feel like - I feel like just in general, since you have to move around so much, then you have more chances to either die, fall off, etc.
557s wipe the raid, have a black and white screen.
561s I'm just saying.
561s So that is my argument for Reaper.
564s It's just - it's just how Reapers are.
567s The skill, not the player.
568s I'm sorry.
570s All right, DatModz, you have one minute starting now.
573s Okay, so Bobajenny, let's look at the facts of the matter.
577s Class survivability is a developer-based problem.
581s Every single class is balanced differently.
582s Every single class has different health pools, different health coefficients, different armor coefficients.
588s And this determines the class survivability and raid.
591s Bard being the lowest.
591s But fortunately for Bard, they accompany heavy armor in their setup, allowing them to be more tanky, allow them to face tank more in the company with their tool set, they survive more.
600s Reaper is on the low end side.
602s Deadeye is on the low end side.
604s Gunslingers on the low end side.
605s Yes.
606s Scouter is also on low end side.
608s True.
609s But they have shields to make them a little more tanky.
612s So that's why I think Gunslinger is the most floor POV class in the game.
619s But you play with Gunslingers.
621s Bobajenny no talking.
622s Sorry.
623s I do play with Gunslingers and it's a lot more high skill class than Reaper.
627s Reapers, all they do is just auto attack, basic attack, attack from the back.
634s All right.
635s DatModz that is your time.
635s They don't swap weapons or anything else like that.
637s Bobajenny, you have one minute to make your response.
641s You guys shut up, please.
642s That's the thing - you said Gunslingers, you know, you have to switch weapons and you have to, you know, close range, you know, high range and stuff like that.
649s Exactly.
650s Gunslingers have more to do, but yet Reapers die more.
654s So I still think Reaper is up there since you don't really find many Reapers when you, you know, for example, like pugging and stuff like that.
663s We don't see many Reaper players, but we do see a lot of Gunslinger players because even if they die a lot, they have a very high ceiling.
670s They can do massive damage so they can die a lot.
675s But they also do a lot of damage, whereas Reapers die a lot - period.
680s So I feel like generally floor POV Reaper has more movement speed.
685s You have to keep up the gauge, otherwise you can't really contribute to the fight.
690s So I still stand my ground and I think Reaper is more floor POV.
695s All right, DatModz, you have one minute for your final response starting now.
699s Okay.
700s But your damage doesn't matter if you're dead.
701s That's one of your main arguments, right?
704s I definitely think Gunslingers a more high skill class - you have multiple weapons you have to rotate through.
709s You have to keep your buffs up, you have to keep your bleeds up.
711s In addition to that, you also have animation lock, so you can only get out if you spacebar.
715s If you're in rifle form, you got to channel.
717s There's a lot of boss attacks that punish you.
720s If you're in channeling and you don't have your spacebar you get knocked or you have to use your time stop. In addition to that, Reapers - since they're a back attack ambush master class - a lot of times they're accompanied with their good friend, the blue Gunlancer.
731s So even though their tool kit has them always jumping and attacking from the back and using mobility skills like that to be sticking in the back more, more often than not, they have additional shields and additional damage reduction that keep them alive.
744s Whereas Gunslingers is not at the hit master...
746s hit master based class.
748s Righ?
749s And add a crit buff so usually it's paired up with like, you know, Berserkers.
756s A Destroyer maybe for damage down.
758s But never really a Gunlancer.
761s Time!
761s All right, that is your time.
762s I'm going to bring the spectators over so we can discuss your argument and decide on a winner.
768s All right, let's talk about that.
769s Grenton.
770s First of all, how are you just feeling?
772s It's okay.
773s Listen, I know Bobajenny was talking about the general Reaper population and not like the Grentons of the Reaper population.
780s I'm not floor POV.
781s Just wanted to check in.
782s Just wanted to check in.
783s But she did have some very good arguments when it comes to Reaper's kit, because all of your mobility skills, if you're playing Lunar Voice, needs to be used to build gauge so you don't really have a safe way to play.
792s Hunger Reaper is a little bit more forgiving, but she kind of hit the nail on the head with the mobility skills and causing you to go into mechs that you wouldn't otherwise have to.
802s And then DatModz, when it comes to Gunslinger, I think the biggest issue with gunslinger is the animation locks from what I see when I talk to other Gunslingers, which you really need to think farther ahead in the fight to know like, do I have time to get this entire channel off or do I have to move and micro adjust myself after?
815s So they both had really good arguments.
817s And as much as I hate to say it, Reaper is a pretty floor POV class.
822s It's just a hands issue or a skill issue.
824s Very big of you to admit that.
825s Yeah.
826s The better you get at the class the less time you'll spend on the floor.
828s All right, Stoopzz.
829s What are you thinking?
831s I mean DatModz kind of got shafted.
832s That's a hard debate.
834s It's not that easy to argue against the Reaper in general.
838s I love Gunslingers.
839s I think they're pretty good.
840s They're not usually floor POV.
841s I usually do see Reapers die the most - or Arcana, to be honest.
843s Yeah, I think he has a hard topic, so it wasn't that easy for him.
847s All right.
848s I mean, it sounds like we made a decision pretty quickly, so I'll send you back over there and we'll announce our winner.
854s Well, Bobajenny.
857s I think it's pretty obvious that you are not a Mokoko.
860s Sorry DatModz.
865s It's the only time Reapers can carry.
868s The debate's done.
869s You can stop.
870s She won.
871s She smoked you.
873s You're gonna get reoasted in the comments, man.
874s There's a lot of angry Reaper players out there.
876s Yeah.
876s Reapers roast her!
878s There's only five of them anyway.
879s Six.
881s All right.
881s Thank you for joining us for this week's episode of the Lost Ark Academy Debate Club.
885s But remember, none of these arguments matter, because what does matter is the season finale, which will be live where you, the community, will vote on who is not in a Mokoko.
894s We'll see you next week.
900s Dance break.
921s I don't want this to go on YouTube, man.
940s Please like this video and subscribe.
944s And you're pressing on that button could change a tiny little Mokoko life.
950s Thank you.
951s From the bottom of our hearts.
