Trivia

In Arknights, Blitz is a 5★ Sentinel Protector Defender who specializes in Defense (obviously) and DPS, and is only available from the Attack, Defence, Tactical Collide headhunting banner, part of Operation Originium Dust – the crossover between Rainbow Six Siege and Arknights. He will never be available from any other banners and the "pity" system from other banners is not carried over to Attack, Defence, Tactical Collide; to compensate that, if the player gets Frost, then Blitz will be the next (and only the next) 5★ Operator that appears.

As a Sentinel Protector Defender, Blitz uses a ranged attack with his P12 handgun, having a range of two tiles ahead of hismand can hit flying targets (though Blitz is still classified as a melee Operator), allowing him to act as an anti-air Operator in a pinch or attack enemies from behind another Operator. Like Protector Defenders, Blitz can block up to three enemies but has higher ATK in exchange for lower HP and DEF.

Talents

1. Shielded Shooting has Blitz attack Stunned enemies over those who aren't and increases his ATK against them.
2. Bunker Defense gives Blitz a chance to resist Physical damage if there is a ranged tile besides or behind him.

Skills

1. Flash Shield has Blitz use his G52 Tactical Shield to momentarily Stun and Silence enemies in a radius of 2×2 tiles ahead of him. As in R6S, however, Blitz can only use Flash Shield four times in every deployment.
2. Shield Bash has Blitz bash enemies he are blocking with his G52 Tactical Shield, dealing heavy Physical damage and temporarily Stuns them, then greatly increases Blitz's ASPD and makes Shielded Shooting more effective for a short time.
   • Shield Bash's Stun's duration is quite long — one of the longest among all Operators' skills.

Base skills

1. Team Rainbow has Operators in the Control Center (including Blitz himself) recover 0.05 morale per hour for every Team Rainbow Operator there (also including Blitz himself) while Blitz is assigned to the Control Center, which stacks with other similar base skills (including itself!).
2. Linguistics increases the recruitment tag refresh generation rate by 20% which is further increased by 5% for every Intelligence Reserve and Ursus Specialty Beverage while Blitz is assigned to the Human Resources Office.

Summary

Blitz is just as tough as he is in R6S and a good Sentinel Protector Defender who can be used to good effect in disorienting enemies and catching them literally with their pants down. Remember: Point the gun towards the bad guys!
