2-4: Burning City

Strategy for Arknights 2-4, focusing on Originium Altars and the importance of Arts damage operators.

Objective: Eliminate all enemies. Key Mechanics: Originium Altars, Arts damage. This stage introduces Originium Altars, which periodically deal Arts damage to operators standing on or adjacent to them. You'll need to either avoid these tiles or bring Medics with strong healing to mitigate the damage. Enemies in this chapter may also have higher physical defense, making Arts damage operators (Casters) more valuable.

Prioritize deploying your main frontline away from the Altars if possible. If not, ensure your Medics are well-placed to cover the affected operators. Deploy Casters to deal with high-DEF enemies. Consider using a single-target Caster for priority targets and an AoE Caster for groups. This stage teaches you to adapt to environmental threats and the importance of Arts damage.
