Enemy description

A Reunion squad leader you've previously faced, who attacks with an impressive searing blade. The formidable foe you defeated in the Area 59 Ruins appears before you once again, unsheathing the flames of vengeance.

Overview

Perhaps one of the Hateful Avengers defeated by Arknights players in Area 59 Ruins and Deserted Factory back during Contingency Contracts Beta and Blade, respectively, this one came back from the grave with a vengeance in C.C. Base Point — the final C.C. Operation — to test our might for one last time. The "Hateful Avenger" boasts slightly superior stats to their regular counterparts on his own and are just as susceptible to Stun and Freeze, but has additional tricks up their sleeve and the Contracts (see below) can turn them into literal death incarnate, able to easily cut down all in their path while being very difficult to be slowed down!

Trivia
