Operator Overview
“Prepare yourself to face the endless darkness with me.”
Operator for a Rhodes Island Assault Team who prefers solo action, Skadi the bounty hunter is ready to dethrone your enemies. As a Duelist Guard, Skadi specializes in DPS and Survival.
Skadi is a 6-star Operator who can become an assassin or emergency drop depending on her equipped skill. Her Skill 2, Wave Strike, gives her a massive Attack buff for a short time right after she is deployed. This Skill is perfect for assassinating unarmored targets. Drop Skadi on top of the most dangerous enemy as they advance and her increased Attack will shred them into fish food. Skill 3, Tidal Elegy, turns Skadi into an unstoppable juggernaut with boosted HP, Attack, and Defense. This Skill makes Skadi virtually invincible: your enemies will break upon her like waves upon the shore. Tidal Elegy is very expensive, so don't expect to use it several times in one fight, but it starts off with a huge chunk of SP, making it easy to use soon after Skadi is deployed.
Skadi has one of the highest ATK and HP stats in Arknights, but the same can’t be said for her Defense. She is more on the fragile side when it comes to taking hits, despite her huge health pool. Along with only being able to Block-1, Skadi clearly excels at attacking rather than defending. She is an Operator who can take some heat behind enemy lines while taking out priority targets. To look into the face of Skadi is to look into the face of death.
Newbie Tier List Explanation
Skadi is a beast, and the most powerful of the Archetype. The only problem is that Mato or Melantha can do the job most of the time just as well but at a lower price tag, and the limitations of the Archetype itself make her easily replaced by other Operators in many situations.
Elite Promotion Discussion
-
3rd Skill - Tidal Elegy - Large increase to her stats across the board (ATK, DEF, and HP) and a very long duration make this skill amazing for going toe-to-toe with tough Elite and Boss enemies and coming out the Heavyweight Champion. However, a very long cooldown, the fact she can only take on one enemy at a time, and the magnitude of the buffs being a bit lower because it increases all stats instead of a single one, makes the Skill a little more niche to maximize its full benefit.
-
Talent 2 - Swift Action - The reduced re-deployment time synergizes well with her Skill 2 for use as a drop-in assassin. When using Skill 3, it makes retreating and re-deploying a quicker way to get a second Skill use than waiting for the full cooldown.
- Talent 1 upgrade - Abyssal Predator - Not a buff that will affect many (hardly any) Operators, but when it does it is a decent buff for a Talent.
Skill Discussion
Note: Skadi's Abyssal Predator Talent applies when she is in the squad. (she does not need to be deployed)
* Note that these skills are graded assuming this unit has the DRE-X Module level 3. If you do NOT plan to get this unit's upgraded DRE-X Module, treat the priority of these skills significantly lower.
Skadi's fully leveled DRE-X Module is one of the best in the game in terms of how it upgrades the base unit. Without it, Guard Skadi is a very weak unit with terrible skill cycles and no real niche. However, with it, Skadi becomes a uniquely powerful Fast(ish)-Redeploy, and her S2 becomes a much more appealing Mastery target. In addition to an above average attack increase, Mastery also improves her S2's duration. Between that and her massive HP pool, Skadi lasts much longer than other Fast-Redeploys.
S3 also is worth considering. While her S2 will cover a majority of situations, her S3 has much more bulk and a much longer duration which can give it several viable use cases where it is superior to S2. The redeployment time reduction from DRE-X also works around the skill's biggest drawback. However, Masteries are expensive and S2 will cover a lion's share of the work on its own.
Finally, be aware that the above write-up does not apply to her DRE-Y Module. While it does have some uses, DRE-Y is far more situational since it doesn’t mitigate her extremely long cycle time. Should you choose to pursue that Module instead, treat her Mastery priorities (S2 especially) much lower, even on an Abyssal Hunter team.

Profile
Skadi is a bounty hunter, currently employed by Rhodes Island. She has shown impressive combat prowess in the past, defeating large creatures, eliminating difficult targets, fighting crucial battles, and winning entire wars. She is very experienced in combat, but her history prior to becoming a bounty hunter is unclear.
She is now an Operator for a Rhodes Island assault team, and also executes solo missions.
Clinical Analysis
Increase Trust to 25.
Imaging tests on this Operator show clear outlines of internal organs, with no abnormal dark spots or shadows. No unusual traces of Originium particles present in the circulatory system, no signs of infection, confirming this operator as uninfected.
[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0%
No Oripathy.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.013u/L
What? This is impossibly low! It would be impossible to have that little exposure to Originium!
I cannot permit her to ever leave the medical department. Even if she wants to go fight, I insist she stays back! She is a special case! Anyone who loves medical science would want to see her! We must give her more exams and do a clinical analysis! Also...
Come on, Dr. Kal'tsit, just this once, please!

Skadi is not very popular with the denizens of Rhodes Island.
She has avoided making friends, is hesitant to speak, and consistently declined invitations from other Operators to socialize, preventing anyone from getting to know her.
In addition, she rarely cooperates in combat. She will more often try to execute operations single-handedly and leave her teammates to clean up her mess, which has fostered resentment.
Playing off her cold, sarcastic demeanor toward others and her relentlessness in battle, a rumor has emerged that she is part-demon.
Although Amiya quelled the rumor, it didn't stop there. Instead, it evolved into something even more extreme. A later version abandoned anything derogatory and focused on stories of her immense power.
In the minds of Operators who don't know her, she comes off as a walking Catastrophe.
Archive File 2
Increase Trust to 100.
It is important to note that Skadi's combat tactics are unique and very dangerous.
The engineering staff have tried to reverse-engineer her sword but all efforts have failed. The materials used to forge the sword are ordinary, but the craftsmanship is impossible to explain. Some Operators from remote areas have seen similar weapons, but are not aware of the source.
Holding this giant sword would be difficult for most people, but not for the unstoppable Skadi. Unlike most Operators who wear heavy armor to protect themselves, Skadi relies only on her sword and her strength.
The damage she inflicts is even more impressive than her imposing appearance.
After returning from a mission with Skadi, other Operators often exaggerate her physical prowess in their reports, to the point where she sounds like a legendary monster.
Although Skadi has little interest in debriefings, she humors the higher-ups anyway, typically complaining about how her teammates got in her way or that the rules of engagement are too constricting.
Skadi excels at fighting large masses of enemies, but also tends to cause excessive property damage. This includes wrecked buildings, mangled fences, and once collapsing an entire fort.
Skadi is very similar to another Operator, Specter.
Much like Specter, Skadi is not good with Originium. But for Skadi, taking down a target as quickly as possible is the most effective tactic.
All this taken together, Skadi is quite unstable. Although she is well-behaved, has followed orders, and completed her missions, she operates like an out-of-control freight train in combat and that should be restrained.
Still, Rhodes Island may need a force of nature like Skadi for certain missions.
Archive File 3
Increase Trust to 150.
[Skadi wields a giant sword that splits armor, cleaves enemies in two, and busts through barriers. Her face is distorted and intimidating as she rampages through the battlefield in a bloody dance. It is as though she is fighting more than just the enemy in front of her.]
Reports like this are rejected, as such poetic embellishment is not appropriate for an official report.
But it can't be denied that many Operators find Skadi's battlefield demeanor hard to comprehend. They are also perplexed by her propensity to abandon the squad and complete missions by herself.
Some Operators suggest talking to her and helping her fit in to the company, but they are in the minority.
Most people don't know the only reason Skadi refuses to cooperate with others is that she 'doesn't want to put anyone else in danger.'
Skadi claims everyone who has ever been close to her has met an untimely end, and as such she has avoided socializing altogether.
Despite our misgivings, Rhodes Island respects her social choices as long as she does not violate any of our rules.
Regardless of where it stems from: her birth, her behavior, her body, or her experiences, the mystery of Skadi remains.
Occasionally, others have seen her sitting on the edge of the deck, softly singing to herself. Those who heard the song reported that although they couldn't hear the lyrics, the tune was long, low, and imbued them with a sense of tremendous sorrow.

I spoke with Skadi at length.
She didn't seem to believe me and was a bit uncooperative. But fortunately, I had anticipated her needs, and I think Rhodes Island would be good for her.
I explained why we were speaking. She reluctantly agreed and promised to divulge certain information in exchange for Rhodes Island's intelligence gathering assistance.
Her preference for isolation stems from a desire to protect others. She has no malicious intent. However, she is hesitant to trust a capable, powerful organization like Rhodes Island.
This is because she believes she has to resolve her own issues.
In our long conversation, I promised to her on behalf of the Doctor (and if the Doctor doesn't like this, well, it's for the greater good!) that if an unknown peril hit Rhodes Island that we could not resist, we would give her up.
I came to two conclusions:
1. There is a secret organization to which Skadi has close ties. Not only is this organization hostile, it is violent.
2. This organization goes far beyond just Skadi herself. From her description, I think they experimented on Skadi. Or they could be trying to entice her, little by little. Another possibility is they can't control her right now and don't want to deal with her until they've crushed her spirit.
Skadi also hoped she could find something that would prevent future tragedy.
Does that sound antisocial? Wandering alone is a heavy burden to bear...
Sigh, she became a wanderer because she was trying to escape, and also showing some rebellion.
I think...
I think the Doctor should be in charge of Skadi. Isn't taking care of an Operator's needs necessary to build trust?
Oh, Kal'tsit will disagree with me. If she finds out I'm the one who said all this, she'll probably hang me from the bridge for everyone to see.

Upgrade to Elite LV2.
Ahem. Everyone here?
It's clear why the medical staff has assembled for this closed-door meeting... Yes, of course.
You're all interested in Skadi, aren't you?
Whether you are interested in her endocrine system, her skeletal system, her muscles, her nerves, or the fact that her Blood Originium-Crystal Density is almost zero...
What kind of environment could foster that? What race is she? Her movement and physical functions are currently beyond our understanding, so how do they work?
Right, right...
Skadi has been kept a secret for too long!
On behalf of Rhodes Island, all Infected people, and on behalf of science itself, we need to find answers!
My plan is to put sedatives in her food... We'll work out the specific dosage, but enough for two hundred people should do, right?
Then, when Skadi gets woozy, she will be taken to the nearest infirmary... And we've got her!
Dissecting her would be a bit too much, but we only need a little more information to add to what Dr. Kal'tsit already has... That's it!
Even if it's just a blood sample! A little bit of blood is no problem... Maybe a pinch of muscle tissue too? I think that won't be an issue, either!
Everyone, don't you think...
Oh.
Dr. Kal'tsit? How long have you been here...?
-- Dr. Kal'tsit discovered Warfarin's plan during her secret meeting, and fined her one month's salary.

You just don't know when to give up, do you? I suppose I have no choice but to defend you with all my might.
Talk after Promotion 2
Down beneath the vast blue sea, below the white waves that lap endlessly at the earth, lies all that I once held dear. I fear that one day misfortune will once again take away someone important from me. That is why I fled. I don't want anyone I care about... to suffer on my account.
Talk after Trust Increase 1
Good, another easy day. No giant tentacles coiling up my teammates, no fanatics lurking in the shadows with their hands coated in blood... Yes, just some straight fights on the battlefield. An easy day for me.
Talk after Trust Increase 2
According to legend, my people have fought against those calamities for aeons. Perhaps we kept them from making landfall and terrorizing you city folk as well... So, how about buying me a drink, as a thank you?
Talk after Trust Increase 3
When you've finally made the long journey through the dark up to the water's surface—your eyes dazzled by the sparkling stars all over the sky, your cheek soothed by the cradling waves, your tears seep into your mouth. They have the same salty taste of your home—compared to all that, the bathtub at Rhodes Island is so tiny and puny... I'll have to show you my home someday.

Profile
Skadi is a bounty hunter, currently employed by Rhodes Island. She has shown impressive combat prowess in the past, defeating large creatures, eliminating difficult targets, fighting crucial battles, and winning entire wars. She is very experienced in combat, but her history prior to becoming a bounty hunter is unclear.
She is now an Operator for a Rhodes Island assault team, and also executes solo missions.

Clinical Analysis
Increase Trust to 25.Imaging tests on this Operator show clear outlines of internal organs, with no abnormal dark spots or shadows. No unusual traces of Originium particles present in the circulatory system, no signs of infection, confirming this operator as uninfected.
[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0%
No Oripathy.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.013u/L
What? This is impossibly low! It would be impossible to have that little exposure to Originium!
I cannot permit her to ever leave the medical department. Even if she wants to go fight, I insist she stays back! She is a special case! Anyone who loves medical science would want to see her! We must give her more exams and do a clinical analysis! Also...
Come on, Dr. Kal'tsit, just this once, please!

Increase Trust to 50.Skadi is not very popular with the denizens of Rhodes Island.
She has avoided making friends, is hesitant to speak, and consistently declined invitations from other Operators to socialize, preventing anyone from getting to know her.
In addition, she rarely cooperates in combat. She will more often try to execute operations single-handedly and leave her teammates to clean up her mess, which has fostered resentment.
Playing off her cold, sarcastic demeanor toward others and her relentlessness in battle, a rumor has emerged that she is part-demon.
Although Amiya quelled the rumor, it didn't stop there. Instead, it evolved into something even more extreme. A later version abandoned anything derogatory and focused on stories of her immense power.
In the minds of Operators who don't know her, she comes off as a walking Catastrophe.

Increase Trust to 100.It is important to note that Skadi's combat tactics are unique and very dangerous.
The engineering staff have tried to reverse-engineer her sword but all efforts have failed. The materials used to forge the sword are ordinary, but the craftsmanship is impossible to explain. Some Operators from remote areas have seen similar weapons, but are not aware of the source.
Holding this giant sword would be difficult for most people, but not for the unstoppable Skadi. Unlike most Operators who wear heavy armor to protect themselves, Skadi relies only on her sword and her strength.
The damage she inflicts is even more impressive than her imposing appearance.
After returning from a mission with Skadi, other Operators often exaggerate her physical prowess in their reports, to the point where she sounds like a legendary monster.
Although Skadi has little interest in debriefings, she humors the higher-ups anyway, typically complaining about how her teammates got in her way or that the rules of engagement are too constricting.
Skadi excels at fighting large masses of enemies, but also tends to cause excessive property damage. This includes wrecked buildings, mangled fences, and once collapsing an entire fort.
Skadi is very similar to another Operator, Specter.
Much like Specter, Skadi is not good with Originium. But for Skadi, taking down a target as quickly as possible is the most effective tactic.
All this taken together, Skadi is quite unstable. Although she is well-behaved, has followed orders, and completed her missions, she operates like an out-of-control freight train in combat and that should be restrained.
Still, Rhodes Island may need a force of nature like Skadi for certain missions.

Increase Trust to 150.[Skadi wields a giant sword that splits armor, cleaves enemies in two, and busts through barriers. Her face is distorted and intimidating as she rampages through the battlefield in a bloody dance. It is as though she is fighting more than just the enemy in front of her.]
Reports like this are rejected, as such poetic embellishment is not appropriate for an official report.
But it can't be denied that many Operators find Skadi's battlefield demeanor hard to comprehend. They are also perplexed by her propensity to abandon the squad and complete missions by herself.
Some Operators suggest talking to her and helping her fit in to the company, but they are in the minority.
Most people don't know the only reason Skadi refuses to cooperate with others is that she 'doesn't want to put anyone else in danger.'
Skadi claims everyone who has ever been close to her has met an untimely end, and as such she has avoided socializing altogether.
Despite our misgivings, Rhodes Island respects her social choices as long as she does not violate any of our rules.
Regardless of where it stems from: her birth, her behavior, her body, or her experiences, the mystery of Skadi remains.
Occasionally, others have seen her sitting on the edge of the deck, softly singing to herself. Those who heard the song reported that although they couldn't hear the lyrics, the tune was long, low, and imbued them with a sense of tremendous sorrow.

Increase Trust to 200.I spoke with Skadi at length.
She didn't seem to believe me and was a bit uncooperative. But fortunately, I had anticipated her needs, and I think Rhodes Island would be good for her.
I explained why we were speaking. She reluctantly agreed and promised to divulge certain information in exchange for Rhodes Island's intelligence gathering assistance.
Her preference for isolation stems from a desire to protect others. She has no malicious intent. However, she is hesitant to trust a capable, powerful organization like Rhodes Island.
This is because she believes she has to resolve her own issues.
In our long conversation, I promised to her on behalf of the Doctor (and if the Doctor doesn't like this, well, it's for the greater good!) that if an unknown peril hit Rhodes Island that we could not resist, we would give her up.
I came to two conclusions:
1. There is a secret organization to which Skadi has close ties. Not only is this organization hostile, it is violent.
2. This organization goes far beyond just Skadi herself. From her description, I think they experimented on Skadi. Or they could be trying to entice her, little by little. Another possibility is they can't control her right now and don't want to deal with her until they've crushed her spirit.
Skadi also hoped she could find something that would prevent future tragedy.
Does that sound antisocial? Wandering alone is a heavy burden to bear...
Sigh, she became a wanderer because she was trying to escape, and also showing some rebellion.
I think...
I think the Doctor should be in charge of Skadi. Isn't taking care of an Operator's needs necessary to build trust?
Oh, Kal'tsit will disagree with me. If she finds out I'm the one who said all this, she'll probably hang me from the bridge for everyone to see.

Upgrade to Elite LV2.Ahem. Everyone here?
It's clear why the medical staff has assembled for this closed-door meeting... Yes, of course.
You're all interested in Skadi, aren't you?
Whether you are interested in her endocrine system, her skeletal system, her muscles, her nerves, or the fact that her Blood Originium-Crystal Density is almost zero...
What kind of environment could foster that? What race is she? Her movement and physical functions are currently beyond our understanding, so how do they work?
Right, right...
Skadi has been kept a secret for too long!
On behalf of Rhodes Island, all Infected people, and on behalf of science itself, we need to find answers!
My plan is to put sedatives in her food... We'll work out the specific dosage, but enough for two hundred people should do, right?
Then, when Skadi gets woozy, she will be taken to the nearest infirmary... And we've got her!
Dissecting her would be a bit too much, but we only need a little more information to add to what Dr. Kal'tsit already has... That's it!
Even if it's just a blood sample! A little bit of blood is no problem... Maybe a pinch of muscle tissue too? I think that won't be an issue, either!
Everyone, don't you think...
Oh.
Dr. Kal'tsit? How long have you been here...?
-- Dr. Kal'tsit discovered Warfarin's plan during her secret meeting, and fined her one month's salary.

| Appointed as Assistant | I advise you to keep at least two meters away from me, for your own good. And of course you shouldn't speak to me either... I don't want you to be the next victim of what's after me. |
|---|---|
| Talk 1 | You've read my file? Terrible, isn't it? If I'm allowed to stay by your side, the same misfortune will befall you, and that's trouble for me too. |
| Talk 2 | My long hair looks good? Oh… Well, thank you. Would you like to feel it? It should have a soft touch. I'm confident of that. |
| Talk 3 | Could that be...? The one over there, you guys call her Specter now, right? Why is she dressed as a nun? Amnesia? That's a problem… Dr. {@nickname}, you have to help her. She can't be allowed to forget her true function. |
| Talk after Promotion 1 | You just don't know when to give up, do you? I suppose I have no choice but to defend you with all my might. |
| Talk after Promotion 2 | Down beneath the vast blue sea, below the white waves that lap endlessly at the earth, lies all that I once held dear. I fear that one day misfortune will once again take away someone important from me. That is why I fled. I don't want anyone I care about... to suffer on my account. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 1 | Good, another easy day. No giant tentacles coiling up my teammates, no fanatics lurking in the shadows with their hands coated in blood... Yes, just some straight fights on the battlefield. An easy day for me. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 2 | According to legend, my people have fought against those calamities for aeons. Perhaps we kept them from making landfall and terrorizing you city folk as well... So, how about buying me a drink, as a thank you? |
| Talk after Trust Increase 3 | When you've finally made the long journey through the dark up to the water's surface—your eyes dazzled by the sparkling stars all over the sky, your cheek soothed by the cradling waves, your tears seep into your mouth. They have the same salty taste of your home—compared to all that, the bathtub at Rhodes Island is so tiny and puny... I'll have to show you my home someday. |
| Idle | Dr. {@nickname}, you fell asleep…? Rest well then, and may you never see your dream eroded by sea waves. |
| Onboard | I am Skadi, a bounty hunter. Are you really hiring me? I cannot say what calamities I may bring with me. |
| Watching Battle Record | So this is how you fight. Rush in with a 'woosh,' knock them down with a 'pow,' and finish them with a 'thud.' Very good. I'll keep it in mind. |
| Promotion 1 | So this is the promotion you Rhodes Island folks are always going on about? Not bad. Feels like I've become stronger. Just by a bit, maybe. |
| Promotion 2 | Your thirst for my power really troubles me... But if nothing can really stop you, then brace yourself, for the infinite darkness we will stand against together. |
| Added to Squad | I am quite skilled at teamwork, but... |
| Appointed as Squad Leader | You're placing everyone's life in my hands? |
| Depart | It's hardly a sport when all the enemies are human. |
| Begin Operation | Compared to the calamities I fought against, you are barely a threat. |
| Selecting Operator 1 | By your command. |
| Selecting Operator 2 | I'm used to fighting alone. |
| Deployment 1 | Let's share a dance. |
| Deployment 2 | Better safe than sorry. |
| In Battle 1 | Who knows what lurks within the kelp forest? |
| In Battle 2 | This sword has a terrifying past. Care to find out? |
| In Battle 3 | Sing me a song, my torturous nightmare. |
| In Battle 4 | Don't blink, for you may miss the misery of your death. |
| 4-star Result | We survived somehow. |
| 3-star Result | The words and thoughts of our enemies mean nothing to me. All I care about is how to defeat them. |
| Sub 3-star Result | Feeling a little rusty? Hope you won't mind having part of your share taken away. |
| Operation Failure | Such simple misfortunes are only the beginning. |
| Assigned to Facility | Put me in a room by myself please. |
| Tap | Oops... My hat. |
| Trust Tap | Y-You should watch your distance... I really can't guarantee your safety this close… |
| Title | Arknights. |
| Greeting | Never let down your guard, Doctor. |
