Operator Overview
“Yup, my special skill is singing! Let's see, I can do a cappella, lead vocals, choir singing, pop music, and I can even rap, yo! Though I guess that's not a very useful skill for an Operator... If only I had a more practical skill...”
Is there really a place for pop idols in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Arknights? Sora thinks so, and her ability to rally her allies makes a strong argument that she’s correct. A 5* Supporter Operator, Sora dabbles in varying musical styles, including Healing, Buffs, and Debuffs. Although she cannot attack, the utility she lends her allies more than makes up for it.
The first thing to know about Sora is her Trait: she does not attack, but instead heals allies within her range every second for 10% of her ATK stat. Her Skill 1, Hymn of Respite, enhances Sora’s range and healing power while also putting all enemies within range to Sleep. Sleeping enemies cannot move, act, or take damage. This Skill is a “pause button,” stopping enemies from advancing and giving allies some breathing room so they can be ready to fight again when the Skill ends. On the other hand, Hymn of Battle – her Skill 2 – is the “volume up” button, giving a percentage of Sora’s ATK to all allies within range. This means DPS Operators deal more damage, but it also means healers who use their ATK stat to heal gain increased healing! This buff is especially potent for Operators with low base ATK or that have great multiplicative ATK modifiers because of the unique way it is calculated into the damage formula.
Supporters are typically only as strong as the team they are supporting, but Sora takes that to a whole new level. Being unable to attack, she completely depends on her allies to directly affect the battlefield. Don’t let this fool you into thinking Sora is a weak Operator, however. With her passive healing and her game-changing Skills, this rising starlet is more than capable of making Rhodes Island “shine!”
Newbie Tier List Explanation
Gives a little extra healing and can pause enemies with Sleep if you're struggling. Probably not worth the unit slot until you can invest heavily into her ATK-boosting S2.
Elite Promotion Discussion
When promoted, the idol dancing machine doubles the amount of SP her Talent, Encore, can potentially restore. Mastery allows her Skills to Support harder and last longer.
Skill Discussion
 |
S2M3 | None | ||
Note: This unit does not have Mastery grades. This means the unit is generally not one worth spending the resources of Mastery on. However this write-up should help with skill selection, should you want to use the unit regardless.
Sora was never a particularly good unit since her cycle time is RNG dependent, but she's only grown worse as the game has gone on. Crucially, Inspiration doesn’t stack with itself, meaning that she has to fight for her team slot with Heidi (better cycle time) and Skalter (better in every way). Even ignoring the competition, though, her overall attack buff is unimpressive. You should probably just bring another DPS. If you are intent on using Sora, S2M3 is pretty valuable due to a huge improvement on uptime. Skip her S1. Although it does have some niche usage, it has very poor Mastery gains.
Base Skill Analysis
Sora gains her second RIIC Skill at Elite 2.
It’s a good Trading Post buff, and Sora is a decent candidate for E2 at some point because of her unique buffing abilities.

Profile
For reasons unknown, this active idol is currently boarding with Penguin Logistics. After Penguin Logistics formed a partnership with Rhodes Island, Sora also became a Rhodes Island Operator.
She is able to naturally channel her Originium Arts through her voice to support allies with her unique songs on the battlefield.

Cute, playful, vivacious, the epitome of the word 'girl.'
Still cannot strike a balance between being an idol and an Operator, but is making strides.

Increase Trust to 100.Miss Sora could've chosen a more conventional fighting style, but at her own insistence, Dr. Kal'tsit ultimately designed a custom program for her to better develop her natural talent.
To her credit, Sora put in way more effort than a typical support Operator. Anyone would admit that she was practically born to sing, and the results of this program surpassed all expectations.
Of course, someone who sings on a battlefield draws plenty of enemy attention, so Sora requires more bodyguards than usual. However, she is certainly worth the strategic compromise.

Increase Trust to 150.Penguin Logistics naturally had to 'negotiate' with Sora's management agency in order to allow a pop idol to become a courier.
Given that a codename was also part of the package, it's fair to assume that the 'negotiation' wasn't conventional at all, because no agency in its right mind would expose its valuable asset to potential harm without getting something in return.
Rhodes Island is a fair operation, and for the other party to make such a great compromise, Penguin Logistics certainly would pay a huge cost without any underhanded coercion.
Then, what is the cost for Sora to become a PL Operator while retaining her pop idol status? The official contract is too long and complicated to go into here, though it could probably be summed up in three clauses:
One, Penguin Logistics is responsible for Sora's personal safety, and must not let her make any appearance that would damage her image as a pop idol.
Two, wherever Sora goes on a mission, Penguin Logistics is obligated to do their best to promote her and increase her popularity as they see fit, as well as absorbing all costs incurred.
Three, including events or activities described in Clause 2, all revenue derived from Sora's performance as an entertainer must go to the management agency.
Violation of any clause is ground for the agency to terminate the contract to revoke Sora as an Operator.
Following PL's partnership with Rhodes Island, the latter also assumed all the obligations. After all, who wouldn't want a girl as adorable as Sora to be the biggest star in the world?

Increase Trust to 200.People always ask: Maybe Sora is a good entertainer, but is she a good Operator?
The answer is affirmative.
She's not too hung up about needing someone to protect her, nor does she wallow in self-pity over not able to defend others with a weapon. She knows her limits and stays within them. No one has to worry about that.
However, that doesn't mean she wishes harm to come to those who guard her, nor does it mean she refuses to pick up arms in defense of others. She's no good at it, but that doesn't keep her from trying.
Every day between practice sessions, Sora clumsily trains her weapon proficiency, hoping to contribute a bit more in battle.
It's thoughts like that which truly make Sora special.

Promotion Record
Upgrade to Elite LV2.That Sora lass, she managed to fool her fans with impeccable illusions, making them believe she's Lupo.
Perhaps she thought she'd stand out as a Lupo? That does make sense from the trendy perspective...
And that kid, I've seen idols before and they didn't impress me. But then Sora came along and I finally understood why some people worship stars.
Anyway, I taught her an even better way of concealment, usable at any time, so she won't ever need to try to cover her own identity anymore.
Also, I shall design more attire for her to help further her career.
