The Grindstone is a normal enemy in Arknights.

Enemy description

A Waregeist that manifested when it was infected by Sui-Xiang. All blades must be sharpened to not lose their edge. A Waregeist of this type tends to be timid and will dash out of harm's way at the first sign of danger.

Overview

A canine-like Waregeist that materializes itself from two Wooden Seals, Grindstones are an analogue to Hounds; fast-moving enemies that could easily break through defensive lines if left unchecked. However, what separates Grindstones from Hounds is that they will revert into two Wooden Seals upon defeat, which can catch the player off-guard.
