Exclusive Operators
| Operator | Alternates | Free | Special | Limited | Exclusive |
Exclusive Operators are never available in players' roster of Operators and can only be obtained and used in certain game modes. As such, these Operators are not subject to the Potential mechanic and do not have base skills whatsoever.
Unless noted otherwise, all exclusive Operators have no dialogues and voicelines.
Elite[edit]
Elite Operators (not to be confused with Elite Op) are available in:
- Integrated Strategies through Temporary Recruitment (sometimes)
- Stationary Security Service as possible Reinforcements if the Operator Strategy is set to Free Plan
- Icebreaker Games
All Elite Operators are of the 5★ rarity, only have one skill and talent, and already at the highest level, promotion, and skill level/Specialization level when obtained (except in I.S. where they start without a promotion unless pre-promoted through certain means), but do not have an Operator Module.
Since Phantom & Crimson Solitaire's Expansion II, Elite Operators have their own dialogues and voicelines; later they also have their own Archive Files which can be read in the Network section.

Tulip is introduced in Mizuki & Caerula Arbor.
Reserve[edit]
Reserve Operators are available in:
- Integrated Strategies through Temporary Recruitment (always)
- Stationary Security Service as possible Reinforcements if the Operator Strategy is set to Free Plan
All Reserve Operators are of the 3★ rarity, neither have skills nor talents, and like Elite Operators, already at the highest level and promotion when obtained.
Unlike any other Operators, it is possible to obtain a particular Reserve Operator multiple times, allowing more than one of each Reserve Operator to be added into the squad and deployed onto the map at the same time.

The Reserve Operator - Defender is introduced in Mizuki & Caerula Arbor.
Stronghold Protocol[edit]
The following exclusive Operators are only available in Stronghold Protocol where they will replace corresponding preset Operators of the same class if they are absent in the player's roster; hence, it is possible to have more than one of each exclusive Operator at the same time.
Stronghold Protocol-exclusive Operators are of the 6★ and 4★ rarities, and already at a specific level and promotion depending on which Operator they replace (see below) when obtained.
| 6★ |    |
|---|---|
| 4★ |    |
- 6★ Operators replace preset Tier IV to VI Operators. They have three skills which can be set at the player's discretion and an Operator Module if allowed by their promotion.
- 4★ Operators replace preset Tier I to III Operators. Those replacing T1 Operators use the first skill; T2 Operators use the second skill; T3 Operators use the third skill, and they do not have an Operator Module.
