Within the Arknights universe, there are Operators who are married, were previously married, or have clearly defined family relationships. They add depth to the game through their unique backgrounds and stories, showcasing human aspects beyond mere combatants. Their tales are sometimes touching, sometimes tragic, but all play a crucial role as members of Rhodes Island. 💖 Harold: A Viscount of Victoria and former military doctor, he has a wife and a daughter in her 20s. 🦊 Vulpefolia: Operator Suzuran's mother and a high-ranking member of the Siracusan Mafia, she had a forbidden love with the chief priest of Higashi Shrine. 🕰️ Nowell: Known as 'The Immortal' or 'The Long-Lived,' he had one wife and several children but suffered the pain of family estrangement due to his longevity.

For Nowell, longevity is considered a curse, not a blessing. He has lived for at least 150 years, and as generations passed, his long life made him feel like a stranger to his family, eventually leading him to distance himself from them. He wandered for years searching for the entity that bestowed this 'curse of longevity' upon him, and his reunion with his great-grandson poses new questions for him. ⏳ Curse of Longevity: Nowell considers his longevity a curse, not a blessing. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Estrangement: Due to his long life, as generations passed, he felt like a stranger to his family and distanced himself. 🔍 Search for Existence: He wanders, seeking the entity that granted him longevity, yearning for peace.

To easily clear the 16-16 Challenge stage using an AFK method, specific Operator combinations, mastery levels, and module levels are crucial. This combination automatically handles enemy waves with strong defense and offense, ensuring a stable victory without complex operations. The cultivation status of Operators deployed in the front is especially key to clearing. 🛡️ Core Defense: Deploy Ulpianus (S2M3, Module 3) and Hoshiguma the Breacher (S2M3) in the front. ⚔️ Support DPS: Utilize Ines (S1L7), Haruka (S2M3, Module 1), Ascalon (S1M3, Module 3), and Gavial (S1M3) to ensure stable damage output. ⚙️ Automation Strategy: Designed to automatically handle all enemies after initial deployment without further intervention.

The 'Moonlight' mechanic in the Abyssal Hunter collaboration event SS-3 stage has the characteristic of changing enemy attack targets when obscured by map objects or Operators. Effectively utilizing this mechanic to disperse enemy attacks and perform damage dealing and healing from a safe position is crucial. Specifically, deploying Operators capable of area-of-effect attacks in positions that obscure the Moonlight can lead to efficient enemy elimination. 💡 Mechanic Understanding: 'Moonlight' changes enemy attack targets, so use this to bait or evade enemy attacks. 🎯 Deployment Strategy: Deploy AoE Sniper Operators in positions that obscure the Moonlight to deal with multiple enemies simultaneously. 🩹 Stable Sustain: Deploy healing Operators in a safe position unaffected by Moonlight to maintain the line.

The 'Carrier Hounds' in SS-4 stage possess a highly threatening characteristic: they transport sleeping enemies or stunned Operators to the base. Additionally, their neural damage attacks are powerful, which can make early-stage progression difficult. Therefore, it is crucial to use Operators with high block counts and good cultivation to stop the Carrier Hounds, and to deploy healing Operators who can treat neural damage. 🐕‍🦺 Carrier Trait: They transport stunned Operators to the base, so a strategy to be immune to stun or recover quickly is needed. ⚡ Neural Damage: Prepare for the Carrier Hounds' powerful neural damage attacks by providing continuous healing with healing Operators. 🧱 Block and Heal: Block Carrier Hounds with Operators that have high block counts, and manage neural damage with healing Operators to sustain.

In SS-5 stage, the collaboration Operator 'Quantum' demonstrates overwhelming performance, playing a key role in overcoming challenges. Her skills attack with music, generating notes and dealing powerful area-of-effect damage over a very wide range. She is particularly effective at dealing with 'Sheep' monsters whose attack power and range increase when illuminated by Moonlight, greatly assisting in stage clear. 🎶 AoE Damage: 'Quantum's' skills deal powerful AoE damage over a wide range, eliminating multiple enemies simultaneously. 🐑 Sheep Monster Counter: Effectively suppresses 'Sheep' monsters that are buffed by Moonlight, lowering the stage difficulty. 🌟 Overwhelming Performance: Thanks to her powerful attack and wide range, she can handle enemies both above and below simultaneously, enabling a stable clear.
