"I need a job, and as a pharmaceutical company, Rhodes Island surely will not reject an experienced plant hunter. The so-called plant hunter is... Ah? Just sign here? Seriously?”
------------------------------------------------
... Recently, rumors about the "Scarecrow Apparition" have become increasingly popular. According to an investigation by our reporter, many rural farmlands in Victoria have been brutally attacked by the "Scarecrow Apparition". In the devastated farmland, the fallen crops show geometric patterns of different styles and regular combinations, which is really incredible. Local farmers claim these strange patterns formed overnight. Other eyewitnesses testified that they had seen scarecrows in the farmland moving at night and making strange noises like cutting grass and wood. Therefore, the residents of the towns and villages called them the "Scarecrow Apparition". ... It is reported that a large number of local nobles went on vacation to the towns where the affected farmland was located, just to see those wonderful geometric patterns. Farmers have reported that reservations at hotels in nearby towns are fully booked, and the seasonal fruits and vegetables are also out of stock.
——An article published in a newspaper somewhere
"Are you the 'Scarecrow Apparition'? Where are you from, and what is your purpose?... Don't stare at me with such gloomy eyes. Understand your current situation and cooperate with the investigation!"
"... Sir, as a plant hunter, I am only acting on the request of my employer.
“As for the farmers who commissioned me to leave patterns in their wheat fields, I don’t really care what their purpose is. I just happen to be good at getting along with plants.
"This is my job."

Talents and Skills
Rarity: 4★
Archetype: Specialist [Substitute / Dollkeeper]
Trait: Does not retreat upon receiving lethal damage, instead swaps to a <Substitute> (Substitute has 0 Block). Swaps back to the original after 20 seconds
Talent 1: <Substitute> recovers 3.5% of Max HP per second
Skill 1: Verdant gains increased Max HP and RES
Skill 2: When skill is active, attack now deals Art Damage, ASPD increases, Verdant loses a certain amount of HP for each attack
Newbie Tier List Explanation
Verdant is not a unit you should start your career with, even with his low costs. His DPS is only average for his rarity, while having significant drawbacks that don't take advantage of what a Dollkeepers can potentially bring. Instead, he is a unit who is unreliable with long effective cycles (remember that SP costs don't recover while in doll form) and should be avoided.
Skill Discussion
 |
S2M3 | None | ||
Verdant is a bad unit. He has poor damage on bad cycles and should not be invested in. With S2 his damage is only average for a 4★ which is already off to a bad start. In addition, while using S2, he kills himself in 20 attacks (13.3 seconds). This is a problem in the archetype since it extends their downtime by an additional 20 seconds when changing to the doll, but at least on other Dollkeepers, they have good DPS and other mitigations to make up for that downside. Verdant has no such benefit, resulting in incredibly poor total DPS damage on a very long cycle time and no other upside.
There's very little reason to invest any resources into Verdant. If Dollkeepers interest you, every other Dollkeeper is better, including the freely available Bena. But, if you *really* insist on pursuing Mastery on Verdant, then still go with S2. Despite being a bad DPS skill, it's better than no DPS skill as his S1 is essentially useless. Even 4★ only players will rarely find any use out of it, although technically he can break 3000 HP with a full Module and S1M3 which may matter on some extremely rare occasions.

Profile
Born in a Victorian farming town, Verdant studied botany in university and was considered one of the best students in recent years, until he developed Oripathy and was forced to withdraw and leave the nomadic city, becoming a 'plant hunter.'
He loves plants and has a particular eye for them. He has also received education in bioengineering and pharmacology. He came to Rhodes Island to seek treatment and later joined as a field operator, while also participating in the Medical department's pharmaceutical development program.

Clinical Analysis
Increase Trust to 25.Imaging tests show the indistinct outlines of internal organs, obscured by abnormal shadows. Originium granules detected in the circulatory system. The subject is confirmed to be infected with Oripathy.
[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 4%
Operator Verdant's infection remains under control. No Originium crystals have been observed on the surface of his body.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.21u/L
The subject's condition is stable.
As the subject's duties often require him to journey into dangerous environments, a full health examination is recommended at regular intervals.
'He didn't look happy back there. I mean, I thought I was doing my job properly...'
'Don't worry, he always looks like that. He's actually quite mild-mannered once you get to know him.

Increase Trust to 50.Verdant seemed aloof and unapproachable when he first reported to HR. He paid no heed to the young operator who brought him the forms and water, and only gave the most basic responses to the HR manager's kind words. The one thing that caught his attention was the potted plant on a corner of the office table.
The HR operator who welcomed him described the scene as such: Verdant's eyes visibly softened when he saw the plant, and he started muttering about the shapes of the leaves, surface evaporation rate, scent, and toxicity... most of it incomprehensible. Then, he bent forward, gently touched a leaf with his finger, quickly pulled back like he got an electric shock, and finally impassively asked the others where the plant came from. He was obviously suppressing his excitement as he spoke.
He rushed through the onboarding paperwork, then headed straight for Lena's greenhouse. If not for him, we wouldn't have known that the tiny little plant we got from her, which we often neglect, was such a special breed. I hope that he'll pass on our sincere gratitude to the evergreen Convalescent Garden.
'Hey, come back! Get him back here! Look at how he filled out the form...'
'Other than the code name, he just scribbled through all the other sections: occupation, place of birth, Infection status, reason for joining...'
We asked Verdant to redo his forms properly this time, and had him sign off that everything is accurate and truthful.
—HR Supplemental Note 1
That snake signed his name as 'Strawman'! Good thing Lena was there to point it out. This time we took extra special measures to make sure that the signature is his own.

Increase Trust to 100.Lena and her team grow many different types of plants in Rhodes Island's Convalescent Garden. Lately, an unremarkable herbaceous plant has become the center of attention amongst the botanists and gardeners on the ship. While appearing no different from your average roadside weed, it is apparently a new species unknown to any of the experts on the ship, and it was Verdant, the mysterious plant hunter, who brought it here.
Verdant took out a small sample box from his backpack. I smelled fresh earth as he opened it, the lights inside the box still providing warmth for the plant inside. The unremarkable plant would have been removed from the fields just like any weed, fed to burdenbeasts, and eventually returned to the soil, had Verdant not discovered it, identified it as distinct from any known plant species, and saved it from its fate.
'It may not have any special fragrance, or nutritional value, but it's new to me. And that's why it's precious.' Verdant showed unparalleled determination when talking about the plant, and his normally cold complexion visibly softened.
[Audio Log]
'You've been here at Rhodes Island for a while now. Maybe you could try letting your guard down, make a few friends... Say, I think Lena was looking for you. I wonder what it's about?'
'Lena? The perfumer? Probably wants me to collect more thin-tailed grass.'
'Oh yes, thin-tailed grass, that new species... interesting name. I wonder who named it.'
'Yeah... who?'

Increase Trust to 150.While still a patient at Rhodes Island, Verdant often visited the library late at night, huddling up with books and periodicals about botany in a corner behind the shelves, and jotting down notes in his notebook. When there was anyone else in the library, he would put up a stoic face, pretend to have gotten the wrong door, and turn around to leave, only for his sigh to be plainly audible from the stairway.
It was later revealed that he had thought the library was only open to operators. But unable to suppress his curiosity, he snuck in at night to read anyway.
'Going at night is the best way to get things done, whether it be retrieving half-eaten fruit from a beast den, taking flowers from a noble's garden, or browsing through the Royal Library's archives.'
Upon learning the reason for Verdant's actions, he was issued a library card and invited to help organize the archives. It was during this process that he, who is usually reticent about his past, revealed a few fragments of his days studying botany in university. Through his talent and love for plants, he had quickly become the professors' favorite student, but he never finished his education. We can only hypothesize that Oripathy was the reason he dropped out of school.
'It was the worst of times, but looking back on it, it was the best of times.
'I made this strawman's clothes myself, after my school uniform. I wonder how my professor's project is going, and how the investigation on the growth cycle and distribution of those crops is progressing.'
'It's good enough for me that I get to continue to study plants... but I wonder when I'll be able to go back to school.'

Increase Trust to 200.'I had to withdraw after getting Infected, leaving the nomadic city and returning to my hometown.'
'The back-country fields may look endless, but any rumor about the Infected is like the wind in the fields, sweeping from house to house.'
He was repairing his strawman while speaking about this part of his past. He tried to teach us how to make these strawmen, but no one managed to pick it up. He told us that his father was a craftsman of some repute, from which he picked up these skills, while his knowledge of plants came from his farmer mother.
Harboring an Infected made life difficult for the family, as farmers and procurers alike began to distance themselves. Even if his parents did not consider it a burden, they lacked the means to make any long-term plans for him. As such, Verdant decided to leave behind the warmth and comfort of home.
In his travels, he met someone who needed a botanist, and began working as a 'plant hunter,' operating in the gray zone between government, the nobles, and corporations, sometimes resorting to less than scrupulous means and getting into trouble for it. Because of his Infection, he is reserved and cautious when dealing with others, acting cold and aloof in front of strangers in order to keep them at arm's length. We believe that these experiences are the reason he avoids personal interaction.
Having spent a considerable amount of time in treatment at Rhodes Island, we have observed his interactions with other operators and realized that there is a lot of warmth in his heart. He regularly helps Lena clean up fallen leaves in the Convalescent Garden, writes letters of appreciation to Flamebringer for helping care for the plants he is studying, and brings back flower samples for Podenco and Lisa after 'hunting' trips. We are happy that he is beginning to open up to us, and that he feels at home at Rhodes Island.

Promotion Record
Upgrade to Elite LV2.Verdant's 'strawman' is almost indistinguishable from himself, especially to those unfamiliar with him. They both look at you with in that straight-on manner, like they're observing you.
According to Verdant, his strawmen are made using a variety of rare plants, which he controls through Arts to distract the enemy while he escapes using his understanding of the environment and his own agility. If necessary, he can also use his spray-equipped saw to get rid of any 'pests' or 'weeds.'
I was trapped by the spiky leaves protruding from the strawman while listening to him describe these gadgets. Fortunately, he was right there to cut the leaves away and free me... fresh air has never tasted better. While the strawman may give off a sweet smell of fruit, it is a lethal fragrance that you should stay away from... especially if Verdant isn't around.

| Appointed as Assistant | Doctor, I'm putting the flowerpots here. The scent from these clears the mind. It'll help you sift through those documents, guaranteed. |
|---|---|
| Talk 1 | I used to have to collect plant samples for my employer whenever he barked the order. Give me a scarcely-traveled rainforest and I'll head in happy. Thing is, once our specimens started growing in people's hydroponic pots, and then protected areas, and then test farms... Well, that's where the trouble began. |
| Talk 2 | I was in the Convalescent Garden, and I saw the plant almanac Perfumer's compiling. Lots of gaps, no way to fill them in as of yet. See, a good plant hunter fills the blanks with their 'prey.' A great plant hunter not only does that, they also get the author to leave them plenty more new blanks. |
| Talk 3 | I've been to Acahualla plenty. The residents there, Tiacauhs, I believe the name is. They're good people. They'll be frank with you, straight with you. It's just, two things I can't stand: one, they force me to go wrestling when they get drunk, and two, they keep judging my tail... is it really that thin, Doctor? My tail? |
| Talk after Promotion 1 | This handsaw was custom-made for me by my mother while I was still in school. Never thought I'd be using it again after I got infected. Thanks to that employer of mine, hiring plant hunters. He let me continue doing what I loved... even if he's the same bloke who fired me out of paranoia in the end. |
| Talk after Promotion 2 | Doctor, this is the plant that got me fired. No monetary value, so you can imagine... I told my boss I forsook my assigned target for this bit of shrubbery, and he thinks I'm having him on somehow... But listen. I discovered this 'un. I gave it its name. And nothing could matter more than that. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 1 | To make a 'scarecrow,' you need a whole lot more than just straw. You also need a variety of tough, poisonous, and insect-eating plants, Originium Arts, as well as my dad's techniques to sew everything together... Tch, leaked my trade secrets again. Doctor, remember not to tell anyone. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 2 | You're right, I am in fact used to keeping a cold, stoic persona in front of strangers. After all, your average plant hunter doesn't usually get into interpersonal conflict with a standing army. It's more often absent-minded guards with fixed salaries. Overpowering your opposition by putting on airs can actually ensure your safety, funny enough. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 3 | Doctor, this is my very first time making a 'Scarecrow' for someone else. What d'you think? Uncanny resemblance, right? If danger's ever afoot, this can help—oi, slow down, don't touch those vines, else they'll—Hrm. It'll let go of your arm naturally after a short while. Trust me. |
| Idle | You were just trying to chat with me and I wasn't responding? Ooh, um, see, I was DEFINITELY, NOT using a 'Scarecrow', tooooo skive off work. Honest. |
| Onboard | I need a job, and being a pharmaceutical company, surely Rhodes Island won't turn down an experienced plant hunter. And the plant hunter in question is none other than... Y'what? I just need to sign here, that's it? No fibs? |
| Watching Battle Record | Hang on! I think I saw a very rare shrub. Might even be a new species! Where was this video taken? |
| Promotion 1 | There's a beautiful medal... but the design's a bit dull. You considered adding some plant motifs to it? |
| Promotion 2 | Never mind contending with people. I prefer exploring the wilderness, delving into the rainforest, living among the plants... Want to come along with me next time, Doctor? |
| Added to Squad | Can we settle disputes some other way that's not direct conflict? |
| Appointed as Squad Leader | All I can assure you is everyone returns safe. I cannot guarantee victory like the others can. Are you SURE you want me as squad leader? |
| Depart | If this conflict truly is necessary, I suppose there's no way around it. |
| Begin Operation | Good bit of bravery in you to stand as my enemy. |
| Selecting Operator 1 | Chop-chop with the orders. I'll make 'em regret showing their faces. |
| Selecting Operator 2 | Chop-chop with the orders? I can see them coming... |
| Deployment 1 | Dead branches and rotten leaves! I'll sweep up in no time, just you watch. |
| Deployment 2 | Bunch of ten-a-penny weeds. Nothing I'm interested in. |
| In Battle 1 | The harder on the outside, the softer on the inside. |
| In Battle 2 | Plant looks risky, who can tell. Plant looks safe, you're in for hell. |
| In Battle 3 | Never assume the simple days will last. |
| In Battle 4 | ...Uh-oh. Time I dropped a 'Scarecrow'! |
| 4-star Result | I never thought I'd be getting the best of that vicious an enemy... At this rate, you think we could be off somewhere more dangerous for sample-collecting? |
| 3-star Result | There we go, enemies dealt with, now we can show ourselves the door and leave. |
| Sub 3-star Result | A few of 'em got away... They're not coming back, are they? |
| Operation Failure | Stay alive, Doctor. You won't have a future to count on otherwise. |
| Assigned to Facility | If I want to help improve Rhodes Island's plant diversity, where do I apply? |
| Tap | If you can't tell the difference between me and a 'Scarecrow,' I think the vines might've poisoned you. |
| Trust Tap | Hmm... Where should I go to collect samples next time? |
| Title | Arknights. |
| Greeting | Good morning, Doctor. I watered the flowers in your office for you. |
