Yumen Catastrophe Defenses are a terrain feature in Arknights.

A fortified elevated position within the Yanese nomadic city of Yumen that provides height advantage to combat units on top of it, Yumen Catastrophe Defenses are the high ground tiles of the Yumen tileset with the following properties that sets them apart from high ground tiles in other tilesets:

• Units on Catastrophe Defenses will deal 30% more damage and take 30% less damage against/from ground targets on low ground tiles.
• While Catastrophe Defenses only allows the deployment of ranged units, they are also considered as low ground tiles for the purpose of interactions with certain skills and talents.

“	Enemies can use these to climb up and down Yumen Catastrophe Defenses.	”
	—Ladder tooltip

Unlike high ground tiles elsewhere, enemies can actually ascend into and pass through Yumen Catastrophe Defenses; there are Ladders connecting a Catastrophe Defense tile and a low ground tile, allowing enemies to enter and exit Catastrophe Defenses.
