Operator overview: Quartz

From Arknights Terra Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A Columbian Lupo mercenary, Quartz came from a family of Pioneers who joined a team of mercs sometime after her mother passes away from an unknown illness, her father having already left them under unknown circumstances, keeping a stopped pocket watch she once used as a reminder for important times. Quartz only worked with the merc team until they disbanded at some point, and she went on a solo work for a while until she is recruited by Rhodes Island.

Quartz wield a greatsword that is powerful but difficult to control — she even almost hit Dobermann with it during her combat assessment session.

Gameplay

Quartz is a 4★ Crusher Guard who specializes in DPS and available in the Purchase Certificate Store since Il Siracusano for 150 Purchase Certificate icon.png with six copies available for the purpose of giving out Quartz's Token.png Quartz's Token in the next five purchases. What defines Quartz as a Crusher Guard is her ability to hit multiple enemies equal to her block count in each attack (despite what is stated in-game, Quartz does not need to block the enemies for her attacks to hit them; the enemies just need to be within her range) like that of Centurion Guards which also extends to her DP cost, but she has much higher HP and ATK in return for being only able to block up to two enemies as well as having a high attack interval and no defenses whatsoever!

Talent

Wilderness Wanderer buffs Quartz's maximum HP and ATK.

Skills

  1. ATK Up β buffs Quartz's ATK while active.
  2. All-Out Clash causes Quartz's attacks to deal lower (equal from Level 7, higher at Specialization Level 3) damage and amplifies the damage she took to 1.25× in return for buffing her ASPD and giving her attacks a 25% chance to Stun the target(s) for 2 seconds.

Base skills

  1. Standardization α increases Factory productivity by 15% while Quartz is assigned to one.
  2. Precise Scheduling increases Trading Post order acquisition rate by 30% and 2% for every different Factory formulae that are currently being processed (e.g. having three Factories producing Tactical Battle Record.png Tactical Battle Record and two Factories producing Pure Gold.png Pure Gold boosts order acquisition by 40%) while Quartz is assigned to one.

Summary

Quartz is an unusual introduction to Crusher Guards who takes the Centurion Guards' strengths to a whole new level by foregoing her defenses in favor of dishing out massive damage to multiple enemies standing in her way.
