Trivia

Blaze is a 6★ Centurion Guard who specializes in DPS and Survival (but not AoE, strangely enough). As a Centurion Guard, Blaze has above-average HP and ATK, can block two enemies — three once she is promoted to Elite 2, and her attacks hit multiple enemies equal to her block count (despite what is stated in-game, Blaze does not need to block the enemies for her attacks to hit them; the enemies just need to be within her range), but this is offset by a high DP cost that increases with each promotion and are among the highest of all Guards due to her rarity, just below Hellagur.

Talents

Blaze's talents allow her to survive in situations where other Operators would otherwise fail.

1. Emergency Defibrillation restores Blaze's HP by 50% of its maximum when her HP falls below 25% for the first time in each deployment and keeps her HP from falling below 50% for a short time afterwards.
   • Emergency Defibrillation helps Blaze to remain standing no matter what opposition she faces and can protect her from the HP loss inflicted by Boiling Burst.
2. Harsh Training gives Blaze Status Resistance which kicks in a short time after she is deployed.
   • Harsh Training can be useful in operations where enemies capable of inflicting Negative Statuses are prevalent.

Skills

1. Power Strike γ has offensive SP recovery, which increases the damage dealt by Blaze's attack when charged.
2. Chainsaw Extension Module permanently buffs Blaze's ATK and DEF, and extends her range by 1 tile once charged.
   • With Chainsaw Extension Module, Blaze can either attack enemies before they can engage her directly or attack from behind another Operator (preferably a Defender). Even better, Blaze will be able to attack enemies from behind a wall or ranged tile with Chainsaw Extension Module when placed correctly.
3. Boiling Burst gradually buffs Blaze's ATK and DEF, and makes her attacks hit all enemies within range while active. When Boiling Burst expires, Blaze unleashes a fiery explosion that heavily damages enemies in a radius of 3×3 tiles and causes her to lose 25% of her maximum HP, which cannot knock Blaze out.

Operator Module

The CEN-X Module, Overloaded Weapons, Overheated Heart, increases Blaze's ATK against enemies that are being blocked to 1.1× in addition to increasing her maximum HP and ATK. Once upgraded, Harsh Training now also buffs Blaze's ATK and ASPD after additional periods have passed from when she is deployed.

Base skills

1. Heat Charge α increases Drone recovery rate by 10% while Blaze is assigned to a Power Plant.
2. Slice Iron, Split Steel increases the byproduct rate of building material processing by 80% while Blaze is assigned to the Workshop.

Summary

Blaze is one of best Centurion Guard in Arknights. Even though she lacks the immortality that Specter has, Blaze uses her sheer strength and determination to tear apart all who stand in her way with her chainsaw; so, do you think now is the best time for Blaze to let her rip? Absolutely!
