About
Arknights is a mobile tower defense (TD) game developed by Hypergryph. Originally released in mainland China (CN) on May 1, 2019, it later received a release in Japan, Korea, North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia (collectively known as Global) by Yostar on January 16, 2020, and in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau (TW) by Longcheng on June 29, 2020.

While at first it appears to be a deceptively simple TD, Arknights tends to be more difficult than the run-of-the-mill TD game due to tricky maps, enemy design, and challenging combat puzzles. One strong aspect of the game is the player's management of Operators and the correct use of their abilities to achieve victory. Arknights also features an important base building feature.

Arknights utilizes a gacha system for players to obtain Operators, however, the game designs stages to be solvable using Operators of the most common rarities. In addition, the Recruitment system permits the free, albeit rare, acquisition of most of the older high rarity Operators.

Due to the differing release dates of each version as well as other factors, the Global server of Arknights is ~6 months behind the CN server, while the TW server is ~8 months behind CN (~3 months behind Global).

What's Up and New sticker.png
Zwillingstürme im Herbst is now live as Global's Thank-You Celebration event in 2024, so let's head into Leithanien and experience another intrigue-filled story where we got to finally put the notorious Witch King's shadow into rest once and for all! ZT also gives us the opportunity to buy lots of new cool outfits including dynamic ones for Młynar and Texas the Omertosa, so don't miss them out if you can afford them!

Oh, don't rest on your laurels just yet, as Contingency Contract will return in June under a new flavor: the Pinch-Out Experimental Operation-inspired Battleplans with Contingency Contract Pyrolysis as the first iteration. We hope you folks are ready to draw our blood and sweat once more in this grueling challenge...

Meanwhile on the CN server, the Shadow of a Dying Sun story arc has came into its climax as CN also celebrates their 5th anniversary with the release of Episode 14 that also introduces the Medic version of Amiya, Logos(!), and more! Before you Global players drool in envy, rest assured that we will follow suit around late October to early November (albeit rebranded into something else, possibly a second Fan Appreciation Event, since Global's 5th anniversary falls in January 2025 and would be covered by the next Carnival event instead) — plenty of time for us to save up and prepare in advance!

Featured Article
Virtuosa Elite 2.png
Virtuosa is a limited 6★ Ritualist Supporter introduced with Zwillingstürme im Herbst; before this, she had made a brief appearance in Lingering Echoes and acts as the arguable antagonist of Hortus de Escapismo, as well as being mentioned in various places in the game.

The alias of Arturia Giallo, the cousin of Federico Giallo and a notorious Lateran Sankta wanted for her crimes of sowing disturbance among the populace, Virtuosa is one of the few Operators capable of inflicting Elemental DamagesNecrosis Damage in her case, yet she is also a potent supporter due to her ability to augment her allies with her skills, allowing her to be used well in the offensive and defensive.

Virtuosa's Japanese voice is provided by Aya Endō, while her English voice is provided by Cat Protano who is best known for voicing Tiadosia Kallister in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS, Misha in Honkai: Star Rail, and recently Setaria in Genshin Impact.
