Operation guide: 0-1
| Operation | Guide | Story |
The first combat operation in Arknights, 0-1 is the easiest of all operations where the player only need to face several Originium Slugs and a Soldier. Failing this operation is impossible; the player is provided with 20 Life Points while only 11 enemies are present.
The Originium Slugs will be the first enemies to spawn from C9. They are very weak and can be easily dispatched by a melee Operator, preferably a Vanguard due to their low DP cost and decent ATK and DEF. The player would have Yato as one of their starting Operators, so she is the best choice; just deploy her on any melee tiles where she can both block and attack the Originium Slugs, facing right.
The player could also deploy a Sniper to clear the operation faster, preferably DPS ones; the player would have Rangers as one of their starting Operators, so he is the best choice; deploy him on either C5 or D3 facing right. Since the last enemy is a Soldier who is tougher than the Originium Slugs, the Vanguard might not be able to hold them off, so using the Sniper is highly recommended.
For the Challenge Mode version, the same strategy can be followed, but due to the enemies' buffed stats, the player might need to level their Operators before attempting to pull this off. If the player is lucky enough to get Mayer or Pramanix early on, they can be used in place of the Sniper due to their higher ATK and the fact that they deal Arts damage (which are reduced by RES instead of DEF).
