Arknights Tips and Advice to Guide New Doctors

    How To Be A Good Doctor!

    The Gacha and Recruitment

    • 1. If you aren't sure who to choose with the launch 5 Star Operator Exchange Voucher, you can check out our guide.
    • 2. New player banner gives a guaranteed 6* and 5* Operator but is limited to 21 pulls (including the tutorial pull).  With it’s discounted price, this banner is an easy way for new players to get operators.
    • 3. Re-rolling is not necessary, as all of the 6* operators featured on the new player banner are good and stages can be cleared with low rarity operators and proper strategies.

    • 4. The first 10 roll on every new banner guarantees at least one 5* or higher Operator. If you don’t plan on spending money on the game make sure you have at least 6000 Orundum for each new banner. 
    • 5. The gacha has a pity system that increases the chance of pulling a 6* Operator after 50 pulls without one. It persists across banners, ensuring even the unluckiest of players can get the highest rarity units. Additionally, some 6* characters can be obtained through the Certificate Shop.
    • 6. It is possible to get almost any Operator from Recruitment, even the 6* ones! By picking the correct tags and recruitment time, you’ll be able to shift the odds in your favor.

    Gameplay

    • 1. A good “core” team composition is 2 Vanguards, 2 Snipers, 2 Casters, 2 Medics and 1 or 2 Defenders. After gaining a bit of experience in battle, try changing the composition and experimenting with it!  Guards and Supporters are good additions for general use, while Specialists excel at specific missions.
    •  Vanguard x2
    •  Sniper x2
    •  Caster x2
    •  Medic x2
    •  Defender x1-2
    • 2. In the beginning, a good team composition is more important than rarity.  It is necessary to have the proper strategic roles covered. It isn’t until higher Promotion levels that higher rarity Operators start to become significantly more effective than lower rarity ones.  Lower rarity Operators are cheaper to deploy in battle and require less materials to upgrade. Make sure you aren’t hurting your chances with an unbalanced team with cripplingly high DP cost by bringing only high rarity Operators.
    • 3. Most new players will not have access to many of the high rarity Operators right from the start.

    • 4. Leveling your whole team at the same pace will allow you to advance through the story quicker, though you may benefit by giving DPS a little extra EXP while the Medics can be kept at a bit lower level.
    • 5. Level and Skill upgrade costs get extremely high as they approach the maximum Elite 2 levels.  A good place to halt development is Elite 2 level 40 with skill level 8, as for most Operatorsgoing above these will have diminishing returns.
    • 6. Don’t be afraid to mix up your team composition to try new strategies and become familiar with new Operators.  A common mistake for new Doctors is to focus too much on one team, missing opportunities that maps present for different formations or Operators to shine.

    • 7. For enemy swarms, use Defenders to bunch them up and AoE units to destroy them.  Deploying 2 or 3 Defenders and 2 AoE Units typically works well. Since AoE units are especially expensive, add extra Vanguards to increase your Deployment Points.
    • 8. Sometimes the best Defense is a good Offense!  If an enemy is dead, it doesn’t need to be blocked and there is no damage to heal.   If you find yourself being overwhelmed and unable to keep up, you may be focusing too much on blocking and defending.  Try swapping in some harder hitting offensive Operators to see if taking down the enemy quicker helps.
    • 9. While you are learning, it is a good idea to have a cheap unit that can be deployed quickly if a weak enemy slips past your front line because of a misjudgement.  The unit can then be retreated after it has served its “panic button” purpose. Cheap and fast-redeploy units like Yato, Gravel, or Projekt Red work great for this.
    • 10. Get to know your surroundings and enemies. Use Map Preview to plan your strategy and check special terrain effects. Enemy Intelligence contains enemy stats and information on their special abilities, letting you plan ahead. Drill Plans can be used to practice a quest before spending Sanity on an attempt. They can saved for high Sanity cost stages that return a low percentage on failure (eg raid mode).

    • 11. Enemies will target the last deployed Operator in their range. Keep this in mind when fighting against mages, drones and ranged Bosses.
    • 12. For most Operators, retreating refunds 50% of the Deployment Cost (the exception is Kill-DP-Recovery Vanguards, who refund 100%).  If an Operator dies, no Deployment Cost is refunded. First Re-Deployment of an Operator increases Deployment Cost by 50% and second and all subsequent Re-Deployments increase cost by 100%.
    • 13. Developing at least two 3* Operators will grant rewards from Mission Board quests.

    Base

    • 1. The Base is crucial in developing Operators and provides many resources, so don’t neglect it! Trading Posts can earn you LMD or Orundum. Factories provide the resources to keep Trading Posts running and they are the only source of Dualchips needed to upgrade 5* and 6* Operators to Elite 2.
    • 2. When building your base you’ll have to decide on the number of Trading Posts, Factories and Power Plants, there can be 9 in total. Having 3 of each is the most balanced, but it will limit the production of Battle Records, so some players build 4 or even 5 factories. As for Power Plants, the entire Base can only be built if the player has 3. Early on when other rooms aren’t needed, their count can be limited to 2, allowing players to generate additional LMD and Battle Records. If you are unsure and want a recommendation, go with 2 Trading Posts, 4 Factories, and 3 Power Plants for a balance of efficiency and ease-of-use. 
    Arknights Base
    • 3. In the beginning, focus on upgrading the left side first to maximize LMD and EXP production output. This will help you develop your Operators faster.
    • 4. If you aren’t sure, have your Factory produce Gold Bars over Battle Records. They can be sold for LMD which is required for many things. LMD farming missions are only open on specific days of the week, whereas EXP missions are always available.
    • 5. Operators lose concentration over time while working. When they become tired, their skills no longer take effect. Swap them out with fully rested Operators if you will be offline for a long time (e.g. overnight).

    Shops

    • 1. You can pick up a couple 4* operators in the Friend Credit Store. You get Friend Credits through using Support Units, giving and receiving Clues, and visiting your friends’ dorms during investigations. You’ll also get Friend Credits every day based on your Dorm Atmosphere. Friend Credits are limited at 300 and all credits over the cap are lost at the daily reset, so make sure you have less than 300 before the day ends.

    • 2. In the Certificate Shop, you have a choice to make on how to spend your Distinctions. They can be spent on 6* and 5* operators, Headhunting Tickets, and much more. The most common use is exchanging them for rare 6* operators, but if in doubt, just save them up, as they are very hard to gain after the first few weeks of playing.
    • 3. Headhunting tickets can be purchased in the Proffesional Certificate shop up to 5 times each month. Each purchase unlocks the next set, with each set being a better deal in terms of Certificate cost per ticket. Players should only buy the tickets if they can purchase all sets in a given month, at a total cost of 258 Certificates for 38 Headhunting tickets.

    • 4. If you do not plan on spending money, Originite Prime should be saved for acquiring skins, because your Husbandos and Waifus deserve cute new outfits! Most skins can only be purchased with Originite Prime, which the game does not often award free.

    Farming

    • 1. Once you unlock the Supply Missions, focus on Tactical Drill for farming EXP and Cargo Escort for farming LMD to increase the levels of your Operators. These stages increase in efficiency at higher levels, so try to beat harder stages as soon as you are able.

    • 2. Daily and Weekly missions are a great source of resources, so don’t forget about them! You can play the free stage 0-11 to complete Mission Clear, Enemy Kills and Enemy Leader Kills without spending Sanity. 
    • 3. Be sure to complete your Annihilation Weekly Rewards. They are the best source of Orundum outside of spending money.
    • 4. Be warned: Auto mode can fail because of RNG or increased Operator Costs. It is a good idea to re-do the auto stages if you haven’t played them in a while.
    • 5. Stages cannot be auto-cleared if Support Units have been used, so you can save time by clearing a stage on your own before farming it.
