| —Trait description |
Ambusher Specialist, named Stalker Specialist in the CN server and colloquially known as Controller Specialist, is a branch of the Specialist class in Arknights.
Ambusher Specialists are melee Operators who notably have a block count of 0, which renders them unable to block enemies on their own. To offset this however, Ambusher Specialists have an aggression level of -1 and are innately capable of dodging Physical and Arts attacks 50% of the time, and their attacks hit all enemies within a range of the surrounding 8 tiles with a 1×1 extension up front and high ATK but long attack interval. They also have an above-average DP cost.

Strategies[edit]
- Due to their innate high dodge rate and immunity to melee enemies (due to zero block count), Ambusher Specialists are usually placed in the middle of large amounts of enemies to break their formation and relieve the tension they can cause.
Modules[edit]
- The AMB-X Module helps in keeping enemies inside the Ambusher Specialist's range for their attacks and crowd-control effects to reach maximum efficiency.
- The AMB-Y Module improves the Ambusher Specialist's survivability when facing ranged enemies especially if there are no other units to draw fire for them.
