Only if you want Schwarz. Schwarz is an incredibly powerful Operator – arguably the first real “bosskiller” released in the game – and she is also extremely popular among the fanbase. It’s very valid to want her and she’s well worth pulling for.

The other Operators on this banner are good, but probably not worth pulling for specifically. Glaucus and Sussurro are somewhat niche, and Blue Poison may not be worth the effort if you’ve already built other Snipers. (That being said, if you ARE lacking strong Snipers, Blue Poison is absolutely worth gunning for, especially since you could pull Schwarz as well!)

Even if you don’t plan to pull for Schwarz, remember to do Headhunt x1 until you pull a 5★ or higher Operator, since one is guaranteed in the first 10 rolls.

Close Range Sniper

+ All the damage

+ All of it

+ No seriously you guys

+ Literally all of the damage ever

- High DP cost

- Positioning can be tricky

Slower Supporter

+ Prioritizes and does bonus damage to drones (similar to an Anti-Air Sniper)

+ Great at crowd-control

+ Skills are quick to charge

- Low DPS against non-drone enemies

Anti-Air Sniper

+ Multi-target thanks to her Skills

+ Deals Arts damage over time in addition to her physical shots

+ Huge power spike when her Skill 1 is mastered

- Takes a lot of investment

- Incredibly fragile

Single-Target Medic

+ The best ST healing output in Arknights while her Skill 2 is active

- Skill 2 can only be used twice per map (bad for Annihilation and other long maps)

Schwarz has arrived: queen of the beach, queen of bosskilling, and queen of the hearts of thousands of Doctors! Give her a straight line to her target and she’ll blow them to kingdom come. No matter how tough a boss thinks he is, a few seconds alone with Schwarz is guaranteed to prove him wrong.

Don’t be fooled by the sniper rifle: Glaucus is an Arts-wielding Supporter Operator, not a heat-packing Sniper unit. But drones won’t be able to tell the difference when she shoots them down using her anti-aerial Talent! Ground-based enemies might think they’re safe, but that’s only until Glaucus pulls out her Counter EMP, crowd-controlling huge swathes of the field with one shocking blast.

In nature, bright colors often indicate excessive amounts of poison, and Blue Poison is a shining example of this. Her luminous blue eyes and cotton-candy-pink hair bely a Neurotoxin-loaded kit, complete with Skills that can inject her poisons into multiple targets at once.

Any Doctor who likes to field low-DP Operators to the field should consider Sussurro as their Medic. This petite Vulpin’s Talent increases the healing received by Operators who cost 10 DP or fewer to deploy. And there’s a lot of healing when Sussurro’s around: her Skill 2 is such a massive increase to her healing speed and power that it makes her one of the best Medics in the game while it’s active!
