Pathfinder Nuncio
The Pathfinder Nuncio ("envoy" or "messenger" in Latin) is an elite enemy in Arknights.
Overview
An elite Sankta warrior of the Pathfinders who also act as their Messengers, Pathfinder Nuncios have significant HP, good ATK and defenses along with good movement speed, allowing them to take unsuspecting enemies by surprise.
Pathfinder Nuncios are armed with a blunderbuss with an axe-shaped "bayonet" mounted on it, which is loaded with one shot that allows the Nuncio to launch a ranged Arts attack (even when the Nuncio is blocked) dealing 1.5× damage and stops the target from attacking/healing for 15 seconds, and deals an additional instance of 3000 Arts damage against Gelato Stops; the shot will be periodically reloaded when the Nuncio is within the radius of an enemy-controlled Gelato Stop.
The Pathfinder Nuncio's blunderbuss attack can lead to a rather harsh hit that most Operators, especially those without RES, will not tank well, and can prove devastating if the Operator is already overwhelmed by a large swath of enemies. This makes eliminating Nuncios as well as keeping them away from enemy-controlled Gelato Stops to prevent them from replenishing their problematic blunderbuss shot a priority.
