The "Materialist Antagonizer" is a boss enemy in Arknights. It is the main boss of Ideal City.

Enemy description
Construction machinery attempting to protect Stitch Canvas, under the mistaken impression that he is about to be attacked. Before explaining what's actually going on, let's settle things with a test of strength first.

Overview[edit]

“Nearby enemies are invisible while Shield is active; continuously bombards the area where you have the most units, and continuously interferes with the area where you have the fewest units.”
—Tooltip

One of the UAVs used by Stitch Canvas with a surprisingly thick armor and outfitted with various advanced Durinese weapon and defense systems that carries him along with it under a mistaken belief that the young architect's life is in danger, the Materialist Antagonizer complements its significant HP and well-rounded stats with several powerful abilities, notably two based on friendly units' density.

Ability Initial CD CD
Initial Form
  • Immune to Stun, Freeze, Sleep, and Levitate.
  • Attacks summon small drones that locks onto the target (indicated by a red crosshair), dealing Arts damage equal to 20% ATK every second for 15 seconds, which is reset when the Antagonizer attacks the target again, and prioritize targets who do not have a drone locked onto them already.
  • Has a Barrier that absorbs 9999 Physical or Arts damage and causes nearby enemies within a radius of 2.5 to become invisible.

Increases the ATK of Machina enemies by 20%.
Only used in the Initial Form.

Lv0: 80 sec.
Lv1: 40 sec.
Bombardment attack
Targets the friendly unit with the most other friendlies in the surrounding 8 tiles and channels over 3 seconds (indicated by a red sphere and a glowing red countdown) before attacking the target with an energy projectile that deals Arts damage equal to the Antagonizer's ATK over a 3×3 area every 5 seconds, lasting until the Antagonizer uses the bombardment attack again or leaves the Initial Form.
  • If multiple units meet the targeting criteria, the bombardment attack will target the unit with the highest aggression level > the last deployed unit.
  • If no valid targets are available, the bombardment attack will target the Antagonizer's position.
Only used in the Initial Form.
 20 sec. 31 sec.
Interference attack
Targets the friendly unit with the least other friendlies in the surrounding 8 tiles and channels over 3 seconds (indicated by a yellow sphere and a glowing yellow countdown) before creating an energy field on the target's position that Stuns friendly units over a 3×3 area for 3 seconds every 5 seconds, lasting until the Antagonizer uses the interference attack again or leaves the Initial Form.
  • If multiple units meet the targeting criteria, the interference attack will target the unit with the highest aggression level > the last deployed unit.
  • If no valid targets are available, the interference attack will target the Antagonizer's position.
Only used in the Initial Form.
 35 sec. 31 sec.
Drops off Stitch on the spot over 1 second when defeated in the Initial Form; if the Antagonizer has not reached a specific position yet, it will drop off Stitch on said position instead, and enters the Stitch Form.
