RIIC Base Skills
Quick Evaluation
+ S1: Tentacles can become very durable at high Operator Levels
+ S2: Huge 50% Dodge buff with long duration, and stacks multiplicatively with other Dodge buffs
- Very squishy, especially before max Trust
- Tentacles count toward the Deploy Limit, which could be used for other Operators
- Cannot retreat and redeploy her Summons, unlike higher rarity Summoners.
Operator Overview
“We artists are a unique breed... we get stuck at least thirty days a month and think everything we produce is garbage. Also, we only become inspired after midnight.”
Deepcolor comes from a wealthy family, holds three degrees, and was given the… unusual creatures that she summons in battle by her father, who captured them “somewhere in faraway Sargon.” At least, she claims these things are true; Rhodes Island’s investigations indicate them to be fishy at best. But she doesn’t have to lie about her prowess as a 4★ Summon Supporter Operator, which has been proven in the field time and again.
As a Summoner, Deepcolor’s kit revolves around her Talent, Tentacle Summoner (no hentai jokes, please), which gives her a certain number of tentacle “assistants” to summon based on her promotion level. Each tentacle is a melee Operator with Block-1 that counts against a map’s deployment limit when placed. Unlike higher-rarity Summoners, Deepcolor cannot “recall” her tentacles; if a tentacle dies or is retreated, Deepcolor cannot resummon it unless she herself is killed/ retreated and redeployed to the field later.
So what does she use her assistants to do? Primarily, Deepcolor is good at stalling. Her Skill 1, Shadow Tentacle, increases the ATK and DEF of all deployed tentacles and rapidly regenerates their health. Since Deepcolor can’t recall her tentacles, keeping them alive once deployed is important, and this Skill is perfect for the job. Her Skill 2, Visual Trap, expands Deepcolor’s attack range and gives all allies within that range (including tentacles) a massive Physical Dodge buff. This Skill lasts a very long time, but also has a very high SP cost, so be sure to save it for the toughest part of an encounter.
The damage potential of Deepcolor and her tentacle friends isn’t very high, which can make them feel underwhelming in comparison to more DPS-focused Summoners. Deepcolor herself is also a fairly weak unit, with low ATK and terrible durability. However, art is about persistence and creativity, not brute strength. With her powerful defensive Skills and her host of disposable meatshields, Deepcolor is perfect for keeping important Operators safe from harm and giving them some “wiggle room” while still chipping down incoming opponents.
Newbie Tier List Explanation
Can't recycle her summons, so mistakes with her are punished pretty severely. Requires a lot of investment for a unit that doesn't offer much power.
Skill Discussion
S1M3 | C+ | B | A | |
S2M3 | C | C | C |
Once considered a joke of a Summoner, Deepcolor has seen a significant revival thanks to her Module. It gives her enough summons that for shorter maps (and most AK maps are short) she no longer has to worry about her inability to refresh them. This is especially valuable in the Roguelike mode where she can replace what Scene does at a much lower cost. I still wouldn't suggest that strategy, but many will want to try it anyway. Her S1 Masteries are fairly important to that end, though you may want to consider S2 as well for the team support on the later floors.
Module Analysis
Operator Impact: High/Medium
Meta Use: Low
Explanation: Deepcolor's challenge as a Summoner is that she has no way to gain additional summons, nor any way to reclaim (recycle) summons she has already placed. This Module helps that problem immensely by almost doubling her summon total (from 4 to 7). This makes losing a summon or two far more forgiving and also massively enhances her solo coverage capabilities. The deploy costs of summons are already cheap, so the decrease in their deploy cost from this Module (from 5 to 3) is nice but should rarely make any difference.
It should be noted, however, that the Module doesn't completely address her core issue: she still can't generate more summons or recycle the existing ones. This makes pre-planning with her very important, and it makes her a poor choice if many independent summon deployments are needed or if they need to be repositioned.

Profile
Deepcolor is currently a special ops Operator for Rhodes Island.
Clinical Analysis
Increase Trust to 25.[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0%
Operator Deepcolor showed no symptoms of Oripathy.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.17u/L
According to Deepcolor's own statements, she often uses enriched Originium in the color palette of her paintings. As such, she has far more contact with Originium than most other Operators.
Archive File 1
Increase Trust to 50.Note: All of the above was provided by Deepcolor herself. Intelligence gathered from informants and confidential reports have revealed several inconsistencies in her account. It is advised to approach all background information provided by this Operator with skepticism.
Archive File 2
Increase Trust to 100.According to Deepcolor's personal account, this is nothing but a basic skill possessed by all painters, and she is still at the shoal of the sea of art.
Note 1: The sea she describes and the 'Deep' in her code name are strange concepts for some Operators. Please see it as 'boundless water.'
Note 2: After rejecting Deepcolor's request to paint a portrait of the creator of this file, the profiler still received a sketch from her.
Archive File 3
Increase Trust to 150.The best guess at present is that Deepcolor's paintbrush acts as a wand or staff to other Casters, through which she channels her Originium powers. Her combat style isn't exactly orthodox--air-painting is not a known Artcasting method, nor is it easy to comprehend.
Furthermore, perhaps most difficult to understand are the creatures she commands, dubbed 'helpers' (or 'tentacles' by nosy Operators). The reason these long, thin threads are called 'creatures' is because they possess the intelligence and mobility of a pet trained to follow orders, greatly adding to Deepcolor's combat flexibility. After comparisons to the 'Meeboos' created by Mayer of the Rijn Life Research Center, these creatures are actually mechanical entities defying any existing classification. They have spindly bodies without noses, mouths, or ears.
According to Deepcolor's own reports, these creatures were captured by her father somewhere in faraway Sargon as a gift to her. She summed up the 'helpers' as merely 'as yet unclassified creatures.'
Archive File 4
Increase Trust to 200.Something no one would term tangible or structural, merely a pattern of different colors and layers on canvas. It forces onlookers to fixate only on the art, while comprehending a message conveyed by the rich, bright colors.
Prolonged staring generates unusual anxiety and a strong attraction to the artwork.

Appointed as Assistant | Good morning, Doctor. Can I paint a portrait of you? And don't worry, I'll try not to... bring it to life. Besides, it's not like I can bring everything to life, you know. |
