  • Daphne is the welfare Operator of EP13: The Whirlpool that is Passion.

    Note: Because of how rather inconvenient it is to attempt to include multiple images in a post (having to upload to Imgur first, then kbin), I’m probably going to refrain from posting news of skins due to the hassle. If somebody else would like to regularly post the news of whenever skins are announced though, I’d gladly post the flavor text TL as a comment!













  • Figured I could squeeze this in before the EN and CN livestreams!

    It may be confusing, but this is the Urbica sisters’ timeline with regards to the events detailed in this story:

    Astgenne the intern researcher -> Originium leakage -> she heads back into the lab to record data on her experiment that was finally working (not to save people like her files say) -> becomes Infected -> leads Astesia to a (Rhine?) safe house -> Astesia gets Infected -> both go to RI -> Astgenne is stable and returns to Rhine as a formal researcher -> she returns to RI after several years because of an accident with zero info





  • Gnosis is great but often slept on in terms of power. His S2 and S3 are amazing sources of Freeze with little downtime. Even if enemies have Freeze-immunity, his first Talent is still an excellent source of Fragile. Despite his attack range seeming strange if you’re not used to it, you’ll find that he’s able to deal with a large amount of enemies with S2 and S3 once you’ve gotten used to him a bit. He doesn’t shine as much amidst all the DPS 6*s in the current state of Arknights, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find an event where Gnosis isn’t useful.

    Pramanix is…fine, I guess. Shamare is considered better than her in most scenarios, where the other scenarios would be where you’d want RES shred to increase Arts Damage dealt. The problem is that most of the significant sources of Arts Damage in the game already have inherent RES reduction or RES ignore, so Pramanix is widely seen as a waste of a deployment spot these days.

    Aurora is unfortunately almost unusable without Gnosis in the squad. Her attack interval isn’t short enough for her S2 to consistently Freeze an enemy to deal the extra damage, and her rotation is too quick for Kjera to be a reliable partner to assist her.

    I’d say Gnosis alone is worth pulling for, because he is quite unique among all the 6*s in the game, and he has a great mix of crowd control, support, and DPS in his kit. The problem is the future banner lineup is so heavily stacked in terms of power, that unless you specifically like Gnosis or have a fairly large amount of pulls currently, I’d advise you to save for future banners instead.
