Operator overview: Swire

From Arknights Terra Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Swire is a 5★ Instructor Guard who specializes in DPS and Support. As an Instructor Guard, Swire has a range of 2 tiles ahead and her attacks deal 1.2× damage against enemies she aren't blocking, though this does not allow her to target aerial enemies like Lord Guards and Sentinel Protector Defenders. Swire can block up to two enemies and have a modest overall stats.

Talent

Melee Combat Guidance slightly buffs the ATK of melee friendly units in the surrounding tiles to Swire (including Swire herself).

Skills

  1. Command and Dispatch extends Melee Combat Guidance's range to a radius of 2 tiles around Swire (the surrounding tiles with a 3-tile extension to the four cardinal directions from Level 7) and doubles its effect while active.
  2. Cooperative Combat has offensive SP recovery, which makes Melee Combat Guidance more effective and buffs Swire's ATK while active.

Operator Module

The INS-X Module, Self-defense Lipstick, further increases the damage dealt by Swire's attacks against enemies she aren't blocking to 1.3× in addition to increasing her maximum HP and ATK. Once upgraded, Swire receives a second talent, Keeping Pace, which periodically recovers 1 SP if there is at least one friendly melee unit in the surrounding tiles to her.

  • Self-defense Lipstick can help improving Swire's combat performance by a bit, and upgrading it will expedite the charging process of her skills, making her more viable.

Base skills

  1. Princess increases the order acquisition efficiency of Trading Posts by 7% while Swire is assigned to the Control Center.
  2. Drillmaster speeds up the skill Specialization training by 25% while Swire is assigned as the trainer in the Training Room.

Summary

While Swire's quirks make her difficult to utilize effectively, should the player manage to make it work under the right circumstances, this crazy rich Lungmenite Instructor Guard's ability to bolster her allies' combat performance is well worth her persistence.
