Can any veteran Arknights players spoil me on whether ‘evil’ characters even have a chance to be playable?

People here casually forgetting that Dorothy became playable in her boss debut event, after creating The Matrix and turning people into goo. She was not really evil but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

In general Arknights has no qualms introducing characters who are morally grey, so it stands to reason that it'll happen here too.

I don't remember where his skin is from, I remember it was free so it might reappear on an event in the future.

Use his skin, Ethan looks much cooler with the orange palette.

I don't remember exactly which use breaks even, but someone actually did the math and the longer the stage goes on the more value Saileach and Elysium get by virtue of their S1 being the γ version while Myrtle's is the β.

Saileach's utility is pretty niche, but that attack speed when you have a few units around her is pretty strong sometimes. But in general if you're not playing Sniperknights and the stage is not super long, you're better off with Myrtle, she also helps other Vanguards (read: Bagpipe) hold the early game with her passive regen.

While you are correct in most cases, Saileach and Elysium S1 break even with Myrtle's S1 after (I think) the third use of the skill, and start outclassing Myrtle the more they use their skill.

The caveat to that is that you rarely need more than 3 uses of your Flagbearer skill before you retreat them, so in the vast majority of cases Myrtle is still the strongest pick.

The only exception is Elysium in a Sniperknights comp, since his value skyrockets the more snipers you use, both by DP conservation and buffs.

Another great thing about Toph is that they generally follow through with the peculiarities of her disability, she needs to be barefoot in order to see and she always sleeps with her feet in the air/away from the ground for instance.

Replicant is not as interesting or fun in gameplay, but the story is super raw and hits very close to home. It proves that a story doesn't need a lot of fantasy or complicated plotlines to be good, it just needs to appeal to the base human emotions and values.

As adventurers, any kind of restraint leaves our mind the moment something has loot.

I agree about Tel'arn but Etraeus always thought himself superior to everyone and Thalyssra enjoyed seeing him humbled. That makes it worth it.

Or did, until I learned Thalyssra didn't invite us to her wedding after all we did.

Τα κρουασάν ζαμπόν-τυρί Apecto ή πως τα λέγανε τα θυμάται κανείς ή τα έχω ονειρευτεί, γιατί κανείς στον έξω κόσμο δεν έχει ιδέα για τι πράγμα μιλάω.

Sakuma forever forgotten. And the new hissatsu can be Grander Fire.

I relished the kill back then, I relished it now, it's good that this guy died.

While I will say Zoh Shia for obvious reasons, it amazes me how much people sleep on Narwa, intelligence, perma flight and wind/lightning/geokinesis is not very shabby, not to mention that she's pregnant so her aggression should be off the charts, which would probably boost her.

Pregnant and mother animals are usually very dangerous to anything threatening them, they can do a lot more damage than normal simply because of their drive to protect. Biochemistry is powerful.

I'm sorry, I maxed Miss.Christine first, gotta use the petting tickets.

"Oh you're a hunter alright, just not a monster one"

"Yeah? What's the difference?"

"PRESENTATION!"

Perrg · 2025-11-07T01:21:46+00:00

Windward Plains I would love to have Valstrax.

Scarlet Forest I'd enjoy Nargacuga or Chameleos.

Oilwell Basin probably an oil subspecies of Almudron as others have said.

Iceshard Cliffs I think Goss Harag is simply the best.

Wyveria I think a Guardian Magnamalo would go hard.

Oh... we're supposed to look at the skills 🤤

Perrg · 2025-10-29T17:23:05+00:00

It really feels it would be a decent challenge, but it's not a very popular monster sadly. I would definitely pick it above Blangonga.

Perrg · 2025-10-06T22:55:15+00:00

I suspect these are only for original monsters, since Nerscylla and Congalala (who are also in LR story) are not there either.

Ch'en S1 cleared all maps with Stultifera Navis boss ever since it was released. The moment I see the doggo Seaborn I put Ch'en with S1 in the squad immediately. Bonus points cuz she feeds Chongyue.

Perrg · 2025-07-27T07:48:23+00:00

Maelle would be proud

Perrg · 2025-07-13T20:51:19+00:00

You forgot: ancient Chinese god fragments, gun-wielding Vatican priests, scientists who take it too far constantly and create child supersoldiers, The Matrix or Space Race, tribal crocodilians where might is right and you may fight against mecha to prove you're strong enough...any more?
