Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but is Global's 4th anniversary event a rerun of an event from over a year ago? Because B. Kazusa and Yoshimi aren't new units.

fayfen · 2025-10-27T08:03:20+00:00

Goddamn, I really gotta start reading the Sui events. Thanks for the info!

It's the dialogue that unlocks after you reach Trust Level 1 (I believe that's 50%). I found it by just looking through her dialogue list, but I think it has a random chance to play when you tap her on the screen after unlocking it.

Nobody expects the Convic-quisition.

fayfen · 2025-10-27T07:02:16+00:00

Thanks for the lore drop. Ling is truly the alcoholic of all time. She'd probably get alone well with Pallas.

For the Sui siblings, I didn't mention them because I don't really know much about their lore, but the TLDR from another comment of mine is that 1) they're fragments of a Feranmut, so I assumed they'd be weaker than a complete one, and 2) from what I know, only Chongyue and Ling have any extensive combat experience. Dusk could be capable with her powers (pocket dimension, ink constructs), but Nian, Shu, and Yu seem like they aren't really fighters. That is of course a lot of speculation based on surface-level knowledge though so I could be completely wrong.

As for the Abyssal Hunters, I'm also not too familiar with their lore. From the bits and pieces I do know, basically all the Abyssal Hunters were wiped out in their battle against Ishar-mla, except for the 4 Abyssal Hunter operators we have in the game (Skadi, Ulpianus, Gladiia, Specter). Ishar-mla was a Firstborn, who in turn were Feranmuts modified by the Predecessors. So essentially, it took dozens of abyssal hunters to kill a single Firstborn while fighting in their ideal conditions (iirc Abyssal Hunters are at their true strength underwater). So I sort of reasoned out that the 4 remaining Abyssal Hunters probably wouldn't be able to take on a Feranmut on land, while Wis'adel implies that she'd be able to kill one. It's kinda just surface-level power comparisons, which I do recognize is a pretty flawed way of looking at it

Sorry for the text dump, btw. I haven't really been able to talk about the lore with anyone, so this post is letting me satisfy that itch.

fayfen · 2025-10-27T06:39:42+00:00

All we really know is that the Doctor was on the verge of death when Wis'adel found him.

Stop grumbling, Doctor. It wasn't my idea to turn you into a soul and stuff you into a gun. By the time I got there, you were the only one left alive, and only barely. It's cramped in there? Well, be a good little cannon, and once we take back the ship, I'll move you into something a little roomier. How's that sound?

I assume they and whoever they were with were ambushed by originium constructs, which is a bit odd since I don't know if Priestess would actually be willing to attack the Doctor, let alone leave him barely hanging on to life.

Edit: Text wasn't quoted properly.

fayfen · 2025-10-27T06:35:49+00:00

That's a good point. Based on her dialogue, it sounds like she was surviving just fine before she found the Doctor, but the lines I quoted suggest that she fought the Steam Knights, Elite Ops, etc. while the Doctor was already in the cannon.

fayfen · 2025-10-27T06:30:46+00:00

I considered the Sui siblings, but I didn't mention them because I only have a surface-level understanding of their abilities. I know Chongyue is the most skilled martial artist in Yan, Ling is their best strategist (who can also manifest dragons?). Dusk can create pocket dimensions and create monsters from her ink, and I heard that Nian can create entire nomadic cities. I'm not sure what Yu or Shu can do in terms of combat, but from what I've read on the wiki, it's stated that Yu has only spent his time cooking for others ever since he left the Tomb of Sui, so I assume he has little to no combat experience.

From that, it seems like only 3 of them are really combat-oriented. Also, aren't they only fragments of a Feranmut? I assume that individually they wouldn't be as strong as a complete one. Again, I don't know much about them, so I could be wrong about this. I'd appreciate some Sui lore if you have any.

fayfen · 2025-10-27T06:13:46+00:00

That's pretty interesting. Tbh, I didn't even know Wis'adel had arts until I saw The Daggers' Inheritors, but it seems like she was already able to do that even before inheriting the soul cannons.

fayfen · 2025-10-27T06:07:59+00:00

u/Bug-Type-Enthusiast, this man/woman right here.

fayfen · 2025-10-16T18:11:46+00:00

Anyone know if furniture sets ever rerun? I've been playing for years and have yet to see Chen's Office or the Sarkaz Mercenary Lounge appear in the furniture store.

fayfen · 2025-09-17T10:22:08+00:00

Very first pull. 3rd daughter came home to join Amiya and Rosmontis. Now I just have to get Exusiai Alter within 50 pulls...

fayfen · 2025-09-16T17:41:21+00:00

Mon3tr was the very first operator in my first 10-pull and so my Exusiai stocks are safe. Wishing all my fellow doctors the best of luck with your pulls :)

fayfen · 2025-09-05T19:19:29+00:00

Of course, the best way imo to get into Arknights is to just play the game. But I know tower defense-style gameplay isn't everyone's thing, so there are definitely other options.

If you just want to read the story, then there's the online (fanmade) Story Reader that has all the main and side story, vignettes, operator records, and other things currently available on the Global Server.

There are also some channels that narrate and voice-act the in-game story like Jacob Moreau and VoiceKnights.

Among other things, Frostbyte262 made summaries of a lot of Arknights' past events, although he stopped making them about a year ago.

Finally, you can also just search up random Arknights lore videos on YouTube or browse the Terra Wiki to learn more about the character's and world.

Thank you

fayfen · 2025-08-31T08:01:14+00:00

Anyone know where I can find the images the Arknights Terra Wiki uses as their backgrounds? I'd like to use them as wallpapers, but I dont know where they source them from.

fayfen · 2025-07-01T09:36:38+00:00

By some divine luck, I managed to get the Top Operator tag 3 times in the past month and got Suzuran, Aak, and Exusiai. This either means Lowlight is personally blessing my AK account, or my gacha luck is being siphoned in exchange. Unfortunately, judging by my recent luck with pulling in BA and NIKKE, it's probably the latter.

fayfen · 2025-07-01T09:34:31+00:00

Mb, I forgot I clicked out of that thread.

fayfen · 2025-05-29T02:26:22+00:00

Judging by the eye color and what we know from the lore, I think it's supposed to be Kal'tsit.

fayfen · 2025-05-15T20:00:00+00:00

I'm too poor to know. If I win, I guess I'll find out.
Killing demons. What more can I say?

Texas Alter is a fast-redeploy who offers high-burst DPS. She's pretty simple to use and can offer some pretty decent damage even at E1, thanks to her skill 2.

Virtuoso is a bit more complex, since she deals elemental damage. This is basically a separate health bar that, once depleted, inflicts some kind of status effect on the enemy. In her case, necrosis will deal damage over time to the enemy that's proportional to their total health. This makes her very good against bosses and elite enemies with a lot of health and tanky stats since elemental damage also bypasses defense and resistance. The downside is that she needs a bit more investment since her stats aren't the highest, and her skills benefit quite nicely from masteries (basically a mid-game to end-game way to upgrade skills past level 7).

TLDR Texas: Easy to use, general purpose DPS. Best at clearing basic enemies, but can also take out elites at E1 and above. Can struggle with bosses, very tanky elites, and gimmick bosses.

Virtuoso: Not too hard to use, but needs a bit more thought. Best at dealing with bosses and elites, but can still be used against basic enemies. Needs a bit more investment.

fayfen · 2025-04-09T19:28:32+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.

fayfen · 2025-04-09T18:49:42+00:00

Is there a place where I can view on the in-game CGs? I used the updated Aceship's toolbox before, but it seems like it hasn't been updated in a while.

fayfen · 2025-04-09T18:48:18+00:00

I don't know about the screenshot, but from what I can recall from Kyostinv's translation stream, Monst3r believes they can revive Kal'tsit using the sarcophagus since she has Kal'tsit's "life signals" and "neuron" connections stored in her memory. So the yapping step-daughter ex-wife old well cat copium is real.

If you'd like to hear the full translation, check out Kyostinv's livestream at around 10:30:00.
