Operator overview: Arene
| Operator | File | Story | Overview | Dialogue | Gallery | Trivia |
Arene is a 4★ Lord Guard who specializes in DPS. As a Lord Guard, Arene has a ranged attack with a range of 2×3 tiles and a 1-tile (2-tile at Elite 1) extension up front and can target aerial enemies, but with only 80% of his ATK; in the event he is blocking an enemy, Arene will use his melee attack against them. This allows Arene to be conveniently placed behind a Defender or stronger Guard and contribute to DPS.
Talent
Structural Decomposition has Arene target Drones over other enemies when attacking. From Elite 1, Structural Decomposition also increases Arene's ATK against Drones.
Skills
- Just Kidding causes Arene's attack to deliver two hits with increased damage from Level 2 but makes him unable to block enemies while active.
- Deadly Prank extends Arene's range to 3×3 tiles with a 1-tile extension up front (like that of Marksman Snipers before Elite 1 and Core Casters at Elite 1) and makes his ranged attacks deal more damage as Arts damage, hits an additional target, and removes the damage penalty while active.
Base skills
- Waste Not, Want Not increases the byproduct rate of upgrade material processing by 5% for every Operator resting in Dormitories whose morale is below 4 while Arene is assigned to the Workshop. At Elite 1, Waste Not, Want Not becomes Everyone Does Their Part with a higher morale threshold of 20.
- Searching for Solitude increases Arene's morale recovery rate by 0.7 per hour which is further increased by 0.05/h for every other Operator resting in the same Dormitory as Arene while he is resting in one.
Summary
Arene is an unusual Lord Guard who can be almost as effective as Marksman Snipers in shooting down drones from the sky, and can be useful in Challenge Modes and Contingency Contract operations featuring aerial enemies where the use of ranged Operators is restricted by either increased DP cost or even prohibited altogether.
