There are Operators given freely as a reward in various content, colloquially known as welfare Operators. All welfare Operators' Potential can be easily maxed out since their Operator Tokens are readily available.

List[edit]

As of May 1, 2025, there are 66 welfare Operators.

Events[edit]

These welfare Operators were part of Intermezzi, Side Stories, and Story Collections.

  • Up until Code of Brawl, welfare Operators from Side Stories are awarded by clearing a specific operation within the respective event. Since Twilight of Wolumonde, they (along with Intermezzi ones) are awarded by completing a specific mission on the respective event requiring the player to clear a specific operation within the event.
    • Their Operator Tokens are available from the respective event's stores.
  • Welfare Operators from Story Collections are available from the respective event's milestone (Flamebringer and Snowsant) or the store (Absinthe onwards), which also extends to their Operator Tokens.

Once the respective event are added into Record Restoration, the corresponding welfare Operators can be added to the player's roster by obtaining their respective Personal Letter.

Trivia[edit]

  • Most welfare Operators notably have a higher DP cost (excluding Potentials) than comparable Operators of the same grade and branch as them, costing 2 more DP than them. To make up for this, most welfare Operators have three DP cost reductions from their Potential upgrades instead of the usual two.
    • From Under Tides, welfare Operators released during Celebration events are of the 6★ grade with the sole exception to Wild Mane.
