Such claims are inconsistent with Kollam's subsequent performance in Sarkaz conflicts, and few can explain why Kollam would not recast his favorite sword under those circumstances. However, some ancient texts claim that Kollam's saber was destroyed in battle before he even succeeded to the throne, and that the weapon he later wielded was a fragile illusion born of his Arts. But some referred to Kollam as an enlightened despot, saying that cuts from his blade drew no blood, and anyone wise enough to retreat would survive. If they were lucky enough to survive, they were often maimed. Some accounts say that Kollam's enemies suffered a weight several times that of their normal weapons when facing him in battle, finding themselves physically and mentally defeated. Skill DiscussionĪccording to the records, the saber wielded by the Sarkaz Lord Kollam was between 0.9 and 1.2 meters long, about 5 centimeters thick, made of an unknown material, black in color, and bore a traditional Sarkaz inscription, which read 'here the fighting stops.'Īfter succeeding to the throne, Kollam reorganized Kazdel and felt that time in the west had been unkind to the people, so he led some Sarkaz tribes to the east, at which point he vanished from history.Īccording to legend, Kollam had the power to rout his enemies without fighting. However, E2 Amiya is eventually required for Ch8, so the investment costs won't be wasted and she is sufficiently strong enough to get you through early and mid game. Potential TokensĪmiya receives Potential Tokens when completing the following stages: 2-10, 3-8, 4-9, 6-17, 7-18 Newbie Tier List Explanationĭecent damage, but S2 is unusable outside of E2, and she's expensive to raise compared to 3* and 4* options.
When you need Arts damage, Amiya is not just the easiest-to-obtain option (you can’t get much easier than free and guaranteed!) but also one of the best. Furthermore, though many other Casters have utility that Amiya lacks, few come close to Amiya in DPS. Since the game hands the player multiple copies of her throughout Story mode, she is both accessible and easy to increase in Potential.
However, Amiya’s advantages are worth the risk. Knowing that Amiya can be a double-edged sword may warn some players away from using her at all. Players who don’t want the downsides of Spirit Burst or Chimera can keep Tactical Chant γ active through most of a fight due to Emotional Absorption. This also benefits Amiya’s Skill 1, Tactical Chant γ, an attack speed buff with a low SP cost. This is compensated by her E2 Talent, Emotional Absorption, which grants bonus SP when Amiya attacks or gets a kill. You may notice that the SP cost of Amiya’s Skills are very high. However, when the Skill duration ends, Amiya retreats from the battlefield, making Chimera a kamikaze move that must be used strategically. This is excellent for bursting down Elites and Bosses, since it is one of the few sources of “true” damage in Arknights. Chimera, Amiya’s E2 Skill, is even more dramatic: Amiya gains a massive surge of HP and ATK, her range increases, and her attacks ignore DEF and RES. The danger is that Spirit Burst is automatically activated, meaning you can’t control when Amiya goes on her rampage or when she becomes Stunned and stops attacking.
Spirit Burst fires multiple attacks at random targets for a short time, but Stuns Amiya when the duration ends. In fact, she’s one of the better single-target DPS Casters in Arknights.Īmiya’s unique Skills have the damage potential of nuclear bombs, but they also come with repercussions. For a free unit who is handed to you at the start of the game, Amiya is a surprisingly good 5★ Caster. The de facto protagonist of the Arknights storyline and the player’s most stalwart assistant.
