	—Description of operations featuring Farmlands

Farmland, also known as Paddy, is a terrain feature in Arknights.

Overview

Farmlands are melee tiles appearing like rice paddies in real world: a patch of shallow water with rice seeds planted on it. Friendly units on a Farmland will regenerate 50 HP every second, basically identical to Medical Runes but the HP regeneration is fixed instead of percentage-based.

However, Farmlands are subject to the Blight mechanic, where a Farmland can have 0 to 100 Blight that is increased by certain Fabrication enemies (see below). When a Farmland has at least 1 Blight, it will cause the friendly unit on it to take Arts damage over time instead of regenerating HP equal to (Blight × 4). Should a friendly unit be deployed on a Blighted Farmland, they will take a first burst of Arts damage equal to (Blight × 44), followed by continuous Arts damage equal to (Blight × 14). When a Farmland is Blighted, it will cause adjacent Farmlands to have its Blight increased by 1 per second, essentially allowing the Blight to spread towards Farmlands across the map if left unchecked.

A Blighted Farmland can have its Blight cleared by using Pumping Stations. Deploying a Throttle Valve on a Farmland, Blighted or not, will prevent the Blight from spreading further.

Blight sources

Enemy	Method	Value
	When defeated, applies to the Farmland they are on or where the blocker is on when blocked	5
		15
	Ranged attack while on Blighted Farmlands (global range, only against friendly units on Farmlands)	5
	When molting (random Farmland in a radius of 4 tiles)	4
	When damaged, applies to the Farmland where the attacker is on when they leaves the map	50

Interactions

Enemy	Interaction
	Invisible while on Blighted Farmlands.
	Their attacks deal Arts damage while on Blighted Farmlands.
	Will use a ranged attack with global range against friendly units on Farmlands which deals splash damage affecting adjacent targets. If the Blemish is on a Blighted Farmland, the attack deals an additional instance of Arts damage equal to 80% ATK.
	Drains 10 Blight every 0.5 seconds from the Farmland the Miasma is on (if it is Blighted) while reviving, increasing its DEF by 30% and causes its attack to deal an additional instance of Arts damage equal to 10% ATK each time.
	Initially monitors the Blight of the Farmland they are on and their HP changes to account for the Blight value. Should the Farmland's Blight reaches 100, the Sky Pole - Jia will enter an active state.
	Increases the Blight of a random Farmland in a 1-tile radius around the Slumbering by 1 whenever it molts. Loses 20% (15% Level 1) DEF, 30 RES, and 200% MSPD while on Farmlands with no Blight (including one being pumped away by a Pumping Station) in the Enlightened phase. In the Enlightened phase, unleashes As Needlework when the Farmland the Slumbering is on has 100 Blight, at which it drains 20 Blight over 5 seconds from the Paddy.
