Trivia

Mr. Nothing is a 5★ Merchant Specialist who specializes in Fast-Redeploy and DPS. As a Merchant Specialist, Mr. Nothing has a shorter redeployment time of 25 seconds instead of other Operators' 70–80 seconds, but the player will lose 3 DP every 3 seconds when Mr. Nothing is deployed – in other words, freezing the automatic DP generation under normal circumstances or "taxes" DP generation in operations where the DP generation rate is reduced. Should the player have less than 3 DP when the DP loss is triggered, Mr. Nothing will be automatically retreated, so it is ill-advised to use him in operations where automatic DP generation is disabled, such as Annihilation and Tactical Drill. Furthermore, Mr. Nothing does not return DP when retreated; to offset this, he has a low base DP cost of 6 at Elite 1 and maximum Potential.

Talent

Unexpected Strike increases the damage dealt by Mr. Nothing's next attack and temporarily Stuns the target after he does not attack for 4 seconds.

Skills

1. Cautious Retreat passively increases Mr. Nothing's block count by one; while active (which is automatic whenever it is charged), should his HP falls below 20%, Mr. Nothing will gradually restore a small portion of his HP over time and gains Negative Taunt, but he can neither attack nor block enemies.
2. Wax and Wane permanently buffs Mr. Nothing's ATK once charged and gives him one of the three effects listed below, selected at random and denoted by the color of the aura surrounding Mr. Nothing while Wax and Wane is active, and can be deactivated at the player's discretion:
   • BLUE: Enemies attacked by Mr. Nothing have their ASPD reduced for 5 seconds, which does not stack but the duration will be refreshed.
   • YELLOW: Buffs Mr. Nothing's ASPD.
   • PURPLE: Gives Mr. Nothing a chance to dodge Physical attacks and increases his block count by one.

Operator Module

The MER-X Module, "Listening to Rain Under the Eaves", reduces the DP loss imposed by Mr. Nothing's trait to 2 DP every 3 seconds (and reducing the DP threshold to automatically retreat him in the event the player have insufficient DP) in addition to increasing his maximum HP and ATK. Once upgraded, Unexpected Strike's damage buff and Stun duration is increased/extended, and the delay is reduced to 3 seconds at Stage 3.

Base skills

1. Nosy increases the recruitment tag refresh generation rate by 35% and the clue search rate in the Reception Room 5% for every recruitment slot other than the first while Mr. Nothing is assigned to the HR Office.
2. "Obvious Deception" provides 1 Worldly Plight for every Operator resting in Dormitories and increases Trading Post order acquisition rate by 1% for every Worldly Plight while Mr. Nothing is assigned to one.

Summary

Mr. Nothing is an eccentric Merchant Specialist who, like his name suggests, is able to strike enemies out of nowhere and hold them off to be dispatched by his comrades, even though his mere presence alone puts a strain on the player's DP count and generation. Still, his rapid deployment time and good stalling capabilities make Mr. Nothing a solid Operator on the defensive in the early game.
