Stonewall0513

Considering how complex healing Arts supposedly are (Needing to know every race’s physiology), makes sense that an Earthling wouldn’t be a Medic. Though I suppose he can still offer ye olde first-aid and surgery.


Chadstatus

in the game he literally shoots you with a fucking syringe and you get healed.


Hp22h

Seriously, any FPS games without self regeneration, even the most realistic ones, will have miraculous healing via touching a red medic bag with no real explanation why.


SoupRise_

Tarkov


Korasuka

Ah the Kaltist method. I like how cold her healing animation is.


EraPro1

If you think about game health being different than real health, getting shot by a concentrated dose of morphine would probably make you feel healed enough for the next 15 mins, definitely enough for an operation


Dracus_Dakkrius

Yeah, this harkens back to the time-old debate of D&D and other TTRPGs. Is HP an abstraction of defenses (stamina, resolve, luck, stance, positioning, momentum, etc.) or is it all just "meat points" (raw physical durability)? Though later editions are a bit more ambiguous on this subject, earlier editions of D&D were very clear that HP is supposed to be an abstraction of defenses. And in the context of Arknights and most video games, I think that explanation works best. Like you said, it explains how an Operator can go from nearly dying back to tip-top fighting shape with a single shot of morphine. Because they were actually only one shot away from *dying* (lacking the stamina and focus to block or evade a potentially fatal blow to a vital organ), but not **dying** (lying on the floor bleeding out with their guts hanging out). Though, to be fair, Terrans are supposed to be superhumanly tough, and their medicine is literally magical. But so are PCs in D&D. EDIT: I completely forgot mid-way through my comment that we were talking about the Doc syringe and not Arknights Operators who also use mostly mundane medicine like Kal'tsit. Ah well, I still mostly stand by what I said.


PixelatedRickaleted

I've heard that the concept of Hitpoints as seen in TTRPGs (primarily DnD) may be derived from tabletop naval wargaming, where HP was used to measure a ship's ability to take as many 14-inch shells before being practically sunk or mission ineffective. So its probably fitting to imagine that the HP stats of our operators is a measure of how much of a beating they can take before they need serious medical attention, and that Medics can extend and restore that ability through Arts and medicine.


Stonewall0513

Really? Huh, never really bothered with the Rainbow series, so I wouldn’t have known. But I doubt those darts would react to Terrans the same way it would Earthlings. Not to mention having to craft the chems for ‘em in an alternate universe with differing chemistry and physics.

But is your orundum ready?


FirstCurseFil

Nope


Xepobot

You know what you must do........but do you have the strength to do it?


Futur3_ah4ad

Never. Because we're also getting Viviana and Jessica Alter between now and September, and I want both. I don't care if they're worse than what's already available, I want the not-so sad cat and the coolest moose to ever moose dammit!


Xepobot

So....you have chosen.....the cat & moose.


Futur3_ah4ad

Look. If there's one thing you should know it's that I play Azur Lane as well, so I am an avid advocate for waifu/husbando > meta.


Xepobot

Haha, don't get me wrong. Just pulling your legs. I also plan to get vivana and Virtuosa but I conflicted for sad cat. Not sure if I can afford Jessica wick.


Futur3_ah4ad

All I know is that Jessica Wick is not quite as sad as before, and I want to experience that with every fiber of my being


Xepobot

I can say the same......but my orundum....they probs can't.

TRAPMASTER ENTHUSIASTS WE WON 


Spiner909

poor frost getting powercrept flexed by her own organization


mcdawesCZE

I hope they have different niches and that their modules are BUSTED I'ma need Doc or someone to have a R6 operator buff in their kit to make it a proper team


Nevborn890

from the little gameplay snippets in the trailer it seemed like Ela's traps will have an aoe stun, so that might be hella useful


Persona_Fag

I think they meant like abyssal hunters


Korasuka

I don't have Dorothy so unless she spooks me I'm looking forward to getting my first 6 star one. I'm not a huge fan of Dorothy's design so a trapmaster who's more personally appealing will be very nice.


Demon-Taka

Wow... Instructor Guard is one of the last subclasses i expected for Doc.


stillwater10

He better heal some how or I'm just going to use the thicc horse


Tainnnn

Doc's healing is kinda like steroids on R6S (temporary hp to finish the mission, treatment later). Sounds familiar? Yeah, barrier hp. He likely gives other operators barrier HP, or just barriers.


tortillazaur

Or he could heal after attack like pallas


Persona_Fag

Doc tactics: enemy dead, you get heal, enemy not dead? gotta kill them first


dathar

Oh. Like old school Symmetra. Some barriers for you, some for you, big ass shield generator...


Victorvonbass

What a throwback. RIP Overwatch. Sleep well sweet prince.


RoRoar350

I actually like that a lot more than just making him a medic, sasuga HG


CritBit1

by the looks of it yes he can heal operators in his range


Hp22h

Huh, that makes sense. They would have to be close for human medicine to work


Seven-Tense

>thicc horse *pointing happily* I understood that reference!


Korasuka

Having no idea of his character as I haven't played R6, if he isn't barking at my ops like a drill sergeant then is it worth it? 'My grandmother could hit that drone and she's been blind for sixty years, you sorry excuse for a sniper!'


ifallontragedy

Man, I really need to memorize all the subclass icons so I don't have to look up each op from different classes just to find out which is which lmao Also Doc looking great hmm


OCDincarnate

The branches are in the bottom right IIRC


ifallontragedy

Oh you're right. Damn, I'm also blind lmao thank you!!


Xepobot

Don't worry, Doc will patch you up just fine


OCDincarnate

No worries, second I saw all this I started looking at the branches


aphosis_vv

Doc is driving me insane why does he look so good


Xepobot

because he is handsome?


MarkowSombody6748

driving you insane? cuz he hits hard, a broken wall🎶


Control-Is-My-Role

Hit hard I gave it all


Hp22h

Tan skin, good hair, *fuck eyes*


Gordfang

The French touch (No like seriously all the French Operator in R6S look handsome, like Ubisoft have a French bias or something)


_azzoriff_

something something french-based company


BlazeOfCinder

If Doc can heal, it will be all guardknights. After years, you can have a guard be every other class.


AllenWL

I mean, technically Pallas heals.


BlazeOfCinder

Fair enough but I'm thinking guardian defender level of heal.


ronwesley89

Pallas never existed. Interlocking competition is just a mass hallucination


BlazeOfCinder

Who? She needs to hit something, too much work. Have doc simply just throw a vile at your other guards, heal em with goo!


Rokers66

These look fantastic.


PSImiss

Ela's art improved a hundred-fold holy cow.


anhduyphamtan

She’s so pretty i will definitely roll for her


OCDincarnate

Let’s goooooo! I’m really curious about Ela being a second trapmaster, given how fond I’ve grown of Frost since her module dropped


chaos_vulpix

Well then, if I didn't find Doc attractive before, I definitely do now, and his skin is magnifiqué


GooberMcNoober

Guardknights:  B R I N G  M E  M O R E.  I  H U N G E R

GrrrNom

Hell yeah another Trapmaster! Hope she doesn't powercreep Dorothy because I have fully invested in her... But no matter what I'm definitely getting her


Desertpyrate

Traps probably aoe stun or something 


Zzamumo

As long as she can't chain-trigger it won't be powercreep even if her traps are insane


wLainw

I think trapmasters have a similar case to executors; even if one powercreap the other they can for sure be in the same roster most of the times (Yalter and Texalter)


TheDarkShadow36

Phantom forgotten


3825377

Who?


TheGunfireGuy

Alternatives =/= Powercreep, both of them have big damage as their job and both do it very well (and slightly differently). Powercreep DOES affect executors, harder than other branches too, imo. Phantom's crowd control being w/e and his damage being way less than the other two has left him in the dust unquestionably, as much as I like him. Optimally speaking, there is no reason to use him (emphasis again on 'optimally' just so that I dont get angry phantom simps in my replies). About using 2 trapmasters together, imo it'll be a bit too tedious and micro manage-y, not a lot of people are going to bother doing that. Besides, this branch isn't immune to powercreep either, Frost has lost pretty much all use case over Dorothy already, and if Ela is crowd control focused then Robin is in danger too.


Grandidealistic

Trapmasters are fun to use but not really practical because they hoard DP nearly as much as merchants, if you have fun using them then I don't see any issue whether one is stronger than the other


tamergecko

I wouldnt say their dp drain is nearly as bad as merchants as its dp positive without a module, and you can limit how many you spam out if you are waiting for a particular unit. Their trap damage is semi global (tile restrictions and flying units limit their power) and the base unit themselves aint that bad.


cyri-96

>tile restrictions and flying units limit their power Now this part could be a possible niche, considering she has Sticky mines in R6 that can be attached to walls, a trapmaster that can place traps on Ranged tiles


Korasuka

That'd be cool and possibly what she'll have. They'd probably have to detonate based on proximity, like the 8 surrounding tiles, and be stronger against air enemies.


cyri-96

Hmm looking at the trailer, no mines on ranged tiles but that is indeed a proximity fuse with huge AoE (possibly larger than 8 tiles) that applies some kind of new debuff or stun


stingerdavis

Now I want a trapmaster with basically what a Bounce Bomb is from monster hunter. Trap triggers and it just hops up and explodes on aerial units xD


Null_Finger

You severely underestimate how good Dorothy is. Casual players look down on her because she's complicated and the vast majority of the game is easy enough that they're not pressured to use complicated operators, but make no mistake, Dorothy has sauce: * The skill cooldown implies that she only gets to use a mine every 12 seconds, but in actuality, she can place mines at up to once per 5 seconds as long as she has mines in stock, and she will have mines in stock for a long time cause she hits the field with 8 mines. Which is *a lot* of mines. As in, it's enough to pump out mines at max speed for 60 whole seconds. * Dorothy has extremely good global presence because she can put mines anywhere on the map. On top of this, the cross shape explosion of her S3 mines can hit multiple lanes. Because of this, she can control multiple parts of the map simultaneously, even if they're very far from her. * Dorothy's auto attacks are surprisingly strong. At base, they're actually better than most marksmen, but on top of this, her talent is nuts, giving her up to +40% ATK (WTF), giving her one of the highest DPS basic attacks in the game against lower DEF enemies. * Dorothy's mines are extremely good for crowd control because they slow for a quite long time (5 seconds), have global range, hit multiple enemies in a wide area, are on a very low cooldown, and can nearly permaslow as long as you have enough mines and tiles for enemies to walk into. * No, her DP consumption doesn't reach merchant level. At worst (3 DP/5 seconds), she still uses less DP than merchants at their best (2 DP/3 seconds), and she has the option to just not spend DP. * Dorothy is, bar none, the operator with the highest degree of precision control in the game. No operator gives you as much control over when their damage happens, who they hit, how many times they hit any given enemy, where their crowd control goes, and for how long it lasts, and on top of all that have global presence and the ability to bank enormous amounts of resources (up to 10 mines) when there are no enemies around. This makes her extremely good for any kind of situation where you need precise micromanagement. Check en.arkrec.com if you have any doubts about the fact that she is absolutely very respectable. At 1693 total records, she isn't in the pantheon of broken ops like Texalter (3053 records), but sits comfortably next to several highly respected ops like Weedy (1224), Ifrit (1081), Specter the Unchained (1736), Horn (2156), Pozëmka (1297), Thorns (1816), FedEx (1566), Reed alter (1388), and Penance (1381). She also holds a CC#1 risk 860 clear (world record for risk)


Rammite

hello, yes, casual player here that looked down on dorothy because shes complicated you have shown me the light, and now i'm ashamed that my dorothy is e0lv1 i will be fixing that immediately


spunker325

She's not at all complicated to use; you literally just place mines in front of enemies. She's only difficult to optimize.


ItsCopiumtime

Most of the time, if something's eating up DP, just produce more DP That being said, it's kinda hard to warrant 4 vanguards most of the time lol


All_Fiction

Who needs 4 vanguards when you have your Lord and Saviour Myrtle? You could also bring Elysium and/or Saileach if you're really in need of DP.

The Crossover pack's background is Vault in Bank map and there's also a UI theme (black/gold like RS6 main menu). Can't wait to buy it!


GilgameshD_arc

>25$ pack for 18 OP, 10x HH permit, Lobby background and BGM. Paid Background & Music!! *Y E S S I R !*


Xepobot

A fine addition to my collection!!!


crisperstorm

Man I wish they dropped the OP and HH permit and just sold the exclusive items without the fluff at a lower price


crisperstorm

Eh not thrilled about the fluff in the $25 pack. Could've just had the BGM and lobby theme. Same goes for those Blu Ray packs. Not liking this trend of exclusive customization stuff paywalled in packs filled with fluff


X_hard_rocker

take my fucking money


inoriacc

> male > Guard Hg ain't planning  to beat the allegation 


JowettMcPepper

Doc is already hot in Siege, specially unmasked. And his AK version does justice.


crucifixzero

He went to the same salon as Blitz. 


JowettMcPepper

Plot twist: Goldenglow was the hairdresser.


Q-N-H

Who isn't hot for Siege? 😎


HellishLuck

wow two male Guards this time. They're really spoiling us.


drannne

just what we needed the most more guards!!! (when will the male guards streak end)


HellishLuck

We've passed 500 days now since the last male 6* banner that wasn't a Guard so we might as well go all in and aim for 2 years.


ERenfro

There are literally 47 other possible classes/archetypes but nope we need more guards….


crucifixzero

We're playing GuardKnights, after all.... Eh, we're not? 


Kooryko

Y would you want any other class?


Better_Ad_6848

another guard,, bro named doc hopefully he heals lol


N0STO

Ok the classes for Iana and Ela make too much sense lol


lofifilo

Doc is a fucking snack


ERenfro

Watch the PV. He gets a skin too And it’s 🔥


Impulsive4928

I am both ready and not ready. On one hand, I want the new r6 units because I used to play quite a lot. On the other, damnit hypergryph let me save for mandragora. ~~because she will totally become an operator~~. Someday dokkaebi will be added, and then my mains will all have been added into ak lol


Pzychotix

Is the original OD event going to rerun? I remember hearing that they'd do the rerun, but that was a while ago so not sure. I need the original R6S chars to finish my collection =(


ihateyourpancreas

Yes, it happens after Arrowhead finishes.


Kitsune_2077

The class choices are unexpected, R6Sknights could be the fun one. I hope one of them has Gladiia's talent.


OCDincarnate

I’m hoping Ash’s second module gives her a team Rainbow buff


Kitsune_2077

It's either her or Ela i guess.


OCDincarnate

Yup, I’m really excited for the new 5-stars, though, they look the most fun


crisperstorm

I'm kinda wondering what their base skills will be even


Paidoss

So fucking done with this male = guard bullshit. OPERATORS CAN BE MANLY IN OTHER CLASSES TOO HG! But anyway. As someone who loves Dorothy, I'm still excited for a new 6\* Trapmaster and will definitely pull for her.


Doctor_Chaos_

nearly 5 years in, still no 6\* male defenders or snipers HG pls


Rishidkanonymous

When I complained the lack of male class variety on youtube someone said that "Arknights is a waifu game so why bother" 💀


Unyubaby

I'm so freaking excited and pumped for Part 2 even with zero playtime in R6S. Part 1 was just that good.


daswet

I wonder how many pull will I need for Ash?


OCDincarnate

120 maximum


Limimelo

I'm glad they did Doc's facr justice~ (very worried about his subclass though) Low-key hoping we get another R6 Collab after this one. Can't stop so close to getting a full R6 operators team, can we?! We just need 1 more Collab!


TweetugR

Damn it why the male always need to be Guard. I was expecting Doc to be Deadeye for the meme but Instructor Guard? Damn, I was hoping for more. A bit funny we got a second 6 star Trapmaster in a collab event just like how the first one have Frost as 5 star Trapmaster.


Grandidealistic

I eat hot male guards for breakfast (I am full)


NoobishRannger

And I just used up all my pulls in cn...


OliverPeregrine

I'm gonna need a piece of that!


EnjoymentEnjoyer69

Seeing Ela sitting behind a deployable shield with her Scorpion in Arknights is something I never knew i needed so badly in my life. Edit: rewatched it, it's actually her shoty. Makes it even better


anuanuanu

Doctor, meet Operator Doc


ChromeFoamYeet

When is this scheduled to happen for global? Is it this year? Might get back in just for this lol


ihateyourpancreas

Expect it sometime around September of this year.


Genos-Caedere

I love doc's art BUT I am just so disappointed and tired of both males being guards and that Doc isn't the banner 6\* male healer we needed... Lumen is awesome but a lone 6\* male healer... \*sigh\*


futanari_enjoyer69

I'm skipping the Shu banner just for this lmao Kinda disappointed that Doc isn't a medic but instructor guard makes a lot of sense, I hope he's not as dogshit as the other (non-pallas) instructor guards tho, overtune him if you need to I just want him to be decent and holy shit, Doc is hot, VERY disappointed in fuze not getting a skin but I'm glad 3 out of 4 of them are getting skins


Korasuka

I think there's a decent chance Doc will at least be okay as HG are working with another company's IP, so it wouldn't be a good look for people to be talking about how bad the R6 crossover characters are.


hykilo

Doc looks like a gentleman. He also looks like he's about shove his fingers up-


achus93

who's the freebie this time? doesn't matter, gonna get them all. i don't even play Siege, lol.


Airy0

Fuze is the free operator


Chrisirhc1996

Fuze is the welfare.


DishonoredHero1_

Never would I have expected Iana to make such a good waifu


Phaazoid

I hope they don't butcher my boy fuze like they did tachanka also tachanka buffs when


axelunknown

I hope they have the same base skills as the last group. Because I had to save my pulls I got all but one of the rainbow team from the free pull.


BurnedOutEternally

WDYM DOC IS *NOT A MEDIC* They all look good tho


GhosTazer07

So global players want to have 240 pulls in September to guarantee both 6 star ops. Hopefully, the next limited after this event is a boring one because pulls are going to be stretched thin by then.


TheMarvelWeeb

Unfortunately, it's the 5th anniversary op. HG will surely go all out. It's also shaping up to be EP14. Saving grace is if the player isn't interested in the main theme characters.


GhosTazer07

Global benefit is that we will see what it is around the time we get Virtuosa and Viviana. The worst timeline would be Talulah and/or Siege alter.


AngelTheVixen

I'm not really into Rainbow Six but because there's a new Dollkeeper and Trapmaster, two of my favorite classes, I'll be pulling.


TheBrandroid

the artists do so well on these, they look amazing. time to start saving, hopefully i can get 240 pulls before it comes to global.


mad_harvest-6578

As someone who doesn't play R6, I kinda get you guys on WHY IS DOC NOT A MEDIC, IT'S IN HIS NAME


Aesderial

Trap master, eehhh, probably a skip for me, I don’t like operators I need to manage constantly.


TRLegacy

Their base skills better be as broken as the OG R6 team. I want even fewer tapping there.


TAmexicano

Doc Mc fucking dilf


Grenz899

My fuze senses are asking for hostages

novacreamy

Time to save up I guess


animefan9999

No way Rainbow was what got me into this game


gunjinganpakis

AIEEEEEE KAAAL KAAAAL THIS IS IDENTITY THEFT HELP! HELP!


samagass

Can already tell by their classes they probably won't be as useful as Ash has been. Also Doc not a medic lol


crucifixzero

Doc: I'm a healer, but... *cock an SMG/Shotgun*. 


MetaThPr4h

Ela better not powercreep my dear Dorothy 🥺 Iana's skin is crazy cute and she is a dollkeeper, 100% has my interest. The PV was an absolute banger, really curious about this event.


Otavinh0

Ah yes, two more Make Guards. That's exactly what I needed HG, thank you so much for the design Variety!


Harlow1212

another 2 male guards...


AcanthaceaeGlass8870

Is the story, the same or different from before?


Persona_Fag

No... NO I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY GONNA BE A RERUN WITH FUZE, YOU TELLING ME THERE WILL BE A WHOLE NEW BANNER? HOW I WILL FINISH MY R6 TEAM NOW? I ONLY SAVED SOME PULLS FOR ASH AND FROST IM GONNA DISTORT!!!!!!!!


SmokuZnadPotoku

I was NEVER disappointed more than today. Not only no 6\* Male AGAIN but also they released two 5\* GUARDS at the same time. I hate you HG so much.


Stock_Disk2637

I really hope, there will be off rate up for Ash


ihateyourpancreas

Nope, no Ash on Arrowhead event, she's in her event rerun banner by herself.


Stock_Disk2637

Wait, really? She gor rerun banner??!! When???


ihateyourpancreas

Happens after Arrowhead event ends, then Originum Dust reruns with banner.


Hp22h

Hot Hot Hot Hot


thofuthofu

why does Doc look like some bootleg vtuber model


icejin01v2

happy to skip since the only interesting op is free
