Operator Overview
Does Broca’s scary expression unsettle you? As a bodyguard for a gang leader, Broca trained himself to maintain a sinister expression at all times in order to look intimidating. Of course, who needs a scary expression when you’ve got a giant electrified drill? As a 5* AoE Guard, Broca strikes fear (and metal) into the hearts of multiple enemies at once, attacking as many enemies as he can Block and dealing both physical and Arts damage to his victims.
Broca is built for mass murder. Not only can he Block-3 once he E2-promotes, but his Drill Fortification Talent increases his ATK and DEF whenever he is blocking 2 or more foes at the same time. His Skills ensure that he has enough DPS for every combatant to get a piece, especially his Skill 2, High Voltage Current. In addition to a huge ATK boost and a Slow effect, it also turns Broca’s attacks into Arts damage and extends his attack range, allowing him to attack from safely behind another Operator if he so desires. Even with the downsides (the Skill reduces Broca’s attack speed and self-Stuns once it ends), the DPS from this Skill is simply insane.
In order to attain this kind of damage potential, Broca has had to min-max for DPS over survivability. Most AoE Guards have some kind of defensive tool to help them survive Blocking multiple enemies at once, but Broca only gets a small DEF boost from his Talent, which usually won’t save him if things go south. Using High Voltage Current also requires an excellent sense of timing or an extra Operator to block for Broca, as anything he doesn’t kill can walk right past him once he is Stunned. However, “things Broca doesn’t kill” is a pretty small pool of names. Very few enemies can survive Broca’s full voltaic fury, making him well worth the effort to deploy and use.
Newbie Tier List Explanation
Provides long range Arts damage on skill activation so in situations with limited ranged tiles, he can be useful.
Skill Discussion
 |
S2M3 | A | A | B+ |
Broca is one of the most underrated operators in the game which likely stems from heavy overlap with both Specter and Lappland, two of the most popular units in the game (and more common too). Still, judged alone he is tremendously powerful, and his S2M3 is a significant power spike.

Broca, former Siracusan mafioso, later became a member of Chiave's gang.
After a certain incident, he joined Rhodes Island along with the leader, Chiave, and now serves as a frontline attacker.

Clinical Analysis
Increase Trust to 25.Imaging tests reveal blurry outlines of this operator's internal organs, clouded with abnormal dark spots. His circulatory system shows an abnormally high rate of Originium particulate matter, with other signs of Oripathy infection, we can confirm that the Operator is Infected.
[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 7%
Originium crystals are visible across the surface of his body, but not to a great extent. Symptoms have been effectively controlled.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.26u/L
Although the current situation is relatively stable, due to the late treatment time, his condition may deteriorate.

Increase Trust to 50.A Feline male of few words.
His expressions are always menacing and make him seem unapproachable to most. However, if you communicate with him in-depth, you will find that he is a very honest person.
The reason for his expression seems to be that he was conditioned to do this during his time as a mafioso.

Increase Trust to 100.Even after joining Rhodes Island, Broca did not conceal his animus towards Rhodes Island, which caused some dissatisfaction among other Operators. However, this was not without reason.
To be more precise, his animus is not directed specifically at Rhodes Island, but towards all large organizations in general. According to Operator Aosta, who detailed his past experiences in the gang, the mafia family to which he originally belonged betrayed him, after which he was rescued by Chiave and Aosta.
It is not difficult to understand his loyalty to Operator Chiave and Operator Aosta, as well as his aversion to large organizations.
While Rhodes Island by no means is an organization that easily abandons its members for immediate benefit, it may take some time for him to understand this.

Increase Trust to 150.Though he displayed remarkable prowess on the battlefield, even more surprising about Operator Broca is his talent for handicrafts.
Unlike Aosta, who is skilled at sewing, he is adept at crafting. As long as suitable materials are available, he can make all kinds of tools and equipment according to requirements.
After this was discovered and circulated by other Operators, Broca quickly became a star among his colleagues, taking jobs ranging from making costumes for certain holidays to more important operation requests.
More importantly, he gradually found his position at Rhodes Island by doing these things. Some Operators in Logistics Department even hoped that he could lay down his weapons in favor of a full-time production job.
In the end, upper management approved the purchase of a workstation for him, as well as other supporting facilities, in the hopes that he can continue to develop his specialty.

Increase Trust to 200.As Operator Broca himself stated, 'I have nothing against taking orders, but I don't like fighting without knowing why I'm doing it.' After learning to be less defensive towards Rhodes Island and gradually finding a sense of belonging, one can clearly feel the change in his attitude.
The enemies of Rhodes Island are now his enemies, the partners of Rhodes Island are now his partners, his relationship with the Doctor changed from that of suspicion to one of watchfulness, and he has also demonstrated his reliability to other Operators. As far as anyone can tell, he has completely integrated as a member of Rhodes Island.
Though every new recruit to Rhodes Island agrees with our core philosophy and, as of right now, our ranks consist mostly of new members added over the last two years, few have truly come to regard Rhodes Island as 'home.' Of course, we do not require this of all our Operators. In principle, we do not mind becoming a springboard for our Operators, provided that they do not damage the interests of Rhodes Island in the process. However, because many of the old soldiers who truly loved Rhodes Island have been taken away by the flames of wars past, we do have a need to cultivate the next generation of those who can become our bedrock.
Of course, this means that Rhodes Island will have to live up to its tenets, or do even better. Only this way can talents like Broca live in peace here. Only this way can we further traverse this bumpy road.

Description:
Until now, when working with the other two, Broca's typically been the one at the rear.His physique and weapon make him well suited to it, and he's ready to do it.
Not that it's because he truly likes doing it, but because he trusts Chiave and Aosta.
At present, he's been gradually willing to assume similar responsibility in missions. In situations where enemies are numerous, you can safely leave defending the position to him.
