“	Can be knocked down by neighboring Operators, dealing True damage on the two tiles it falls on and forming rubble that blocks routes.	”
	—Description of operations featuring the Tattered Pillar

The Tattered Pillar is a static device in Arknights.

A free-standing pillar that is on the verge of collapsing, Tattered Pillars can be attacked by friendlies adjacent to it; when the Pillar's HP reaches 0, it will enter the "Damaged" state where the Pillar remains intact with 1 HP and become invulnerable for 2 seconds.

When the Pillar is destroyed in the Damaged state, it will collapse towards the direction opposite to where the source of the damage that destroys the Pillar came from and covers a radius of 1×2 tiles, dealing massive True damage to enemies and Stuns them for a short time while friendlies will be instantly knocked out even if their HP cannot be reduced below a certain amount, after which up to two Battlefield Ruins will be left behind if the said tiles are deployable melee ones; it can also affect other Pillars in its path, which may lead to a chain reaction. Tattered Pillars destroyed by Demolition Devices, certain enemies (see below), and other Pillars' collapse, however, will immediately collapse instead of entering the Damaged state first.

Tattered Pillars only take damage from friendlies adjacent to it; the Pillar will neither be attacked by friendlies that are not adjacent to it nor damaged by their skills.
