Core Caster, colloquially known as Single-target/ST Caster, is a branch of the Caster class in Arknights.

Core Casters attack a single target at a time within a range of 3×3 tiles initially or 3×3 tiles with a 1-tile extension up front from Elite 1, and have the lowest attack interval and DP cost among Caster branches.

Strategies

• Core Casters excel at dealing single-target Arts DPS because of their balance of good ATK and attack speed among their peers. They will usually be the answer for dealing with high-DEF enemies that Sniper Operators cannot handle.
• Although other Caster branches tend to be more specialized, Core Casters are arguably the most well-rounded out of all of them.

Modules

• The CCR-X Module improves the Core Caster's effectiveness against enemies with high RES.
• The CCR-Y Module allows the Core Caster to charge up their skills faster when facing strong elite and boss enemies.

Tips

• Any form of RES reduction will make Core Casters better against enemies with high RES, specifically when against Elite and Boss enemies.
• Due to the way of how Arts damage are calculated, having ASPD buffs will increase Core Casters' damage output (especially with Operator Modules).
