A Healthy Itch To Scratch!
Translation help: Jetroyz from the RIHQ server
A new Operator has been announced for Arknights CN! Utage is a 4★ “Hellagur Archetype” Guard with chimera-ish features, steak-knife nails, broad shoulders, and the Power of purple.
Operator Quote: "Nails are one of a girl’s many charms, it would be a shame not to take care of them!”.
Trait: Will not be actively healed by allies; Recover a certain amount of HP with each attack.
Talent: Increase own attack speed based on HP lost.
Skill 1: Stops attacking, reduce Block to 0, increase Defense, recover HP every second.
Skill 2: Lose a certain amount of HP on deployment, increase Attack for a certain duration and change attack type to Arts damage.
Initial thoughts: Utage will be the first Operator of the Hellagur Archetype other than Hellagur himself. Her Skill 2 seems like it will synergize well with this archetype, and provides an Arts Damage option, which Hellagur does not have. Her Skill 1 seems niche, with block being reduced to 0 but Defense being increased. It implies a use for tanking ranged physical damage, and it will be interesting to see the final details and how it works in practice. A very noticeable difference is that Utage seems to be lacking a mechanism for passively regaining HP, which Hellagur has with his second Talent. We will provide more detailed information when it becomes available!
