Steam
Steam or Vapor is an operation mechanic in Arknights, introduced in So Long, Adele.
Overview[edit]
Courtesy of Dolly's geothermic powers which many of his Little Black Sheep also possess, Steam comes in two types: Carmine Steam and Pure White Steam.
- Carmine Steam deals 250 Arts damage and inflict 350 Burn Damage to the friendly units within one when created; enemies inside it will have the Physical and Arts damage they take reduced by 75%, while friendlies within have the damage they take amplified by 50%. Carmine Steam can be created by most SL enemies (see Interactions).
- Pure White Steam is the antithesis to Carmine Steam; it reduces the Physical and Arts damage taken by friendly units within by 75%, and amplifies the damage taken by enemies within by 50%. Pure White Steam is created with the Steam Soda Bottle and when a friendly unit adjacent to a Decorative Geyser attacks an enemy on low ground tiles.
Both types of Steam cannot be present in one tile at the same time; the most recently created one will overwrite the old one. They also cannot be created on walls/obstacles and tiles adjacent to a Decorative Geyser. Effects that deals damage and creates Carmine/Pure White Steam applies the former before the latter, thus the modifiers are calculated for the previous Steam if it would overwrite one.
