| —Description of operations featuring the Neoplastic Shell (unofficial translation) |
The Neoplastic Shell is a static device in Arknights.
Sediment deposits that are often accumulated or grown by the Seaborn, Neoplastic Shells are always either pre-placed or spawned by Micronucleus Sedimenters, and act similar to Roadblocks where they can block enemy paths and force them to change their routing (unless all paths have been blocked off, upon which enemies will follow their usual paths and attempt to destroy the Shells). However, they also serve as platforms allowing ranged operators to be deployed on them, allowing them to be deployed in positions that would otherwise be impossible. The Shell also stops the spread of Nethersea Brand and will instantly eliminate any it is spawned on.
Beware that enemies blocked by a Neoplastic Shell are able to attack and eventually destroy them; if a Shell is destroyed while a unit is deployed on it, they will be instantly retreated, albeit with their redeployment time reduced by 35%.
Appearances
Neoplastic Shells are found in all Path of Life operations except for BP-1, BP-3, and BP-8.
