Operator overview: Siege

From Arknights Terra Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Siege is a 6★ Pioneer Vanguard who specializes in DP-Recovery and DPS. As a Pioneer Vanguard, Siege has high HP and DEF, and can block two enemies. Her stats are in the higher end among all Vanguards, allowing Siege to fill the role of both a Guard and a Defender in the early game and can be kept in the field longer than other Vanguards before being retreated when better Operators are capable of taking her place. However, Siege's DP cost is the highest of all Vanguards due to her rarity.

Talents

  1. King of Beasts slightly buffs the ATK and DEF of Vanguards while Siege is deployed.
  2. Crushing has Siege restore 1 SP whenever an enemy in the adjacent tiles to her is defeated (even if Siege herself does not deliver the killing blow).

Skills

  1. Similar to other Pioneer Vanguards' first skill, Charge γ automatically generates 12 DP whenever it is charged.
  2. Aerial Hammer has Siege pound the ground with her warhammer on her attack when charged, heavily damaging adjacent enemies and generating 3 DP, and can store multiple charges at higher levels.
    • Aerial Hammer is a perfect fusion of Siege's DPS and DP-Recovery specializations, and should be her go-to skill.
  3. Skull Breaker greatly increases the ATK of Siege's attacks and gives these a chance to briefly Stun the target, but increases her attack interval while active.
    • Unlike the other two skills, Skull Breaker have no DP generation whatsoever, but the offensive buff and Stun by chance allows Siege to take on elites and bosses.

Operator Module

Either of Siege's Modules is mandatory to equip to improve her overall usefulness.

  1. The SOL-X Module, "Candy Box", increases Siege's ATK and DEF by 8% while she is blocking enemies in addition to increasing her ATK and DEF. Once upgraded, King of Beasts also buffs Siege's own ATK and DEF (which stacks with the original effect).
    • Candy Box can be used if the player intend to improve Siege's own performance.
  2. The SOL-Y Module, "Thy First Vow", reduces Siege's DP cost by 4 when she is deployed for the first time (and only the first time in an operation) in addition to increasing her maximum HP and ATK more than "Candy Box". Once upgraded, Crushing's SP restoration is increased and it also restores 1 SP to other Vanguards.
    • Thy First Vow enables Siege to support her fellow Vanguards, making it a more preferable choice.

Base skill

Leader increases the morale recovery rate of Operators resting in the same Dormitory as Siege (including Siege herself) by 0.15 per hour. At Elite 2, Leader becomes Lionheart with a higher morale recovery boost of 0.2/h.

Summary

Siege is an all-rounded Pioneer Vanguard that can act as either a pseudo-Charger Vanguard by ensuring a steady stream of DP while inflicting heavy AoE damage at the same time, or a pseudo-Guard capable of inflicting heavy damage and disrupting enemies.

Anyone who is foolish enough to besiege the lioness called Siege (no pun intended) will surely feel her might as she roars on the battlefield.
