Arknights: Azure's Il Siracusano 6★ Selector Tier List (2024)

Operators in this tier have a similar powerlevel to those in the next one, but are considered better picks for the selector due to either their somewhat higher powerlevel and meta-warping capabilities, or theirDistinction Certificate Storeavailability.

What is there to say aboutSurtrthat hasn't already been said before? She's a monster of burst DPS thanks to herTwilight, and her undying abilities can keep her safe to dish out insane amounts of Arts damage for long periods of time from anywhere in the battlefield. She is often a staple for high level play, and definitely worth grabbing if you don't have your own yet.

Operators in this tier have extremely powerful and versatile toolkits that let them shine in regular content and scale very well into higher, more endgame content, and often outshine other Operators of their same Class and rarity. These Operators are strong enough at their niches to be practically irreplaceable by any other.

Kal'tsitremains as one of the most versatile Operators in the entire game thanks to her powerful companion,Mon3tr. She has the potential to both nuke threatening enemies via the True damage of herCommand: Meltdownor easily hold lanes with herCommand: Tactical Coordination. There's littleKal'tsitcannot accomplish in terms of direct combat, just don't grab her if what you want is a healer. She's not good at that!

While not asDPS-loaded asHorn,Mudrock's kit is full of powerful laneholding and bursting options packed tightly in her incredibly durable kit capable of straight up ignoring entire instances of damage with her regenerating shields.Mudrockmay not be able to get healed, but she will barely ever benefit from this sort of support due to how powerful her shields are.

The old "meta revolution" of Bagpipemay seem like old news now that we've experienced the insanity ofMłynarandTexas the Omertosa, but she's nevertheless a powerful tool for expediting the early stages of any combat Operation in the entire game thanks to her Talent, which makes her perfect for complimentingStandard Bearer Vanguardsand letting them cast their Skills almost immediately.

Operators in this tier will still provide a strong boost to your account if you already have those on the previous tiers, even if they aren't directly as powerful or meta-defining. Either that or they are best fit to support already well developed rosters rather than carrying by themselves, and thus benefit from being lower on the tier as support for the ones above.

Casters may have been going through a sort of rough patch lately, but it is undeniable thatGoldenglowstill deserves to be recognized as a very powerful and versatile Operator. Very few can claim to have a global range like she does, and out of those, none come close to Goldenglow's powerful Arts DPS capabilites.

Eyjafjallais a much older Operator compared toGoldenglow, and this age reflects the differences in skill design philosophy accross the years.Eyjafjalla's burst is very long cycling, but it is focused on taking care of more dangerous threats such as bosses with powerful, concentrated bursts of DPS, while simultaneously clearing all weaker enemies around herself in a very, very large radius.

Mountainis one of the simples and most reliablelaneholders currently available due to his incredibly low deployment cost and fast-to-activate laneholding Skill, which has infinite duration.Mountaincan very easily hold off lanes from beginning to end, packing powerful multi-target attacks and an insane regen very few Operators can hope to match. That is definitely not all he can do, though, as he can also choose to deliver some incredibly high burst damage all around himself if you choose to equip his third Skill

While his spot as the prime golden standard for burst DPS Operators might have waned with the release ofMlynar, it is absolutely undeniable thatSilverAshstill holds a spot amongst the top6★ in the game thanks to his wide-ranged, multi-target bursts of Physical damage and his powerful team support Talents.

Suzuranhas been the prime choice for DPS boosting in the game for as long as she has been out. Thanks to herFoxfire Haze,Suzuranis able to summon a very large area around her that does... practically everything you could ask from a support, really. It renegerates the HP of all Operators within it, it slows all enemies down to a crawl, and it boosts all damage taken by those enemies by 40%, increasing the effectiveness of all burst DPS Operators massively.

Unlike all previous Operators,Nightingaledoes not have a DPS role nor an offensive support one. Instead, she focuses on essentially denying the effects of all Arts damage within her wide range while herSanctuaryis active. Additionally, she can also deploy cheap and long-lasting baits with higher taunts to redirect ranged attacks away from your team, making her even better at her job of keeping everyone alive.

Operators in this tier may be worth selecting for more well-developed rosters who already have everything in the higher tiers. These Operators focus on more niche forms of support or tech options, or generally less widely useful forms of combat. Regardless, these Operators do have their chances to shine, so they may still be worth grabbing if you wish to kick your team composition options up a notch.

Gnosisis, in a way, very similar toSuzuran. Both are supporters focused on boosting outgoing DPS via theFragile effect, and both have ways to slow down the advance of their targets. Where things part ways is in the wayGnosisapplies these effects, which are his signature Freeze and Chill effects. While these are technically more powerful thanSuzuran's, enemies are often immune to being frozen altogether, renderingGnosis"unviable" on occassion, and generally more niche thanSuzuran overall.

Ifritcombines an incredibly high attack value with a very unique, long-line range to deliver either constant and high average DPS, or very high bursts paired with powerful Resistance debuffs that will make most enemies melt under her damage. The only issue here is the strictness of her range and her rather expensive DP cost at a time where burst DPS options get cheaper and cheaper to deploy. Still, she can be rather powerful under the right circ*mstances, specially if paired with other Arts burst DPS Operators she can support.

It pains me to have to putThornsthis low, but the reality is that his glory days of clearing lanes like no one else are no longer here. Don't get me wrong,Thornsis still incredibly powerful in most content out there and will easily handle all of it on his own, but the more you advance the more you will realize that he's just a bit too slow to get goin, a bit too fragile to survive until then alone, and overall just a bit too weak in comparison to what he used to be.

Sariais a very versatile Defender that can opt into either very strong survivability and healing capabilities (to the point where she can entirely cover the role of a medic), or powerful Arts DPS support that stacks with other similar effects for huge spikes in burst DPS. While she now faces competition from other Operators who can cover these roles similarly, there's no doubt thatSariais still worth investing into if you happen to get her simply because of this versatility alone, so she might be worth grabbing in this selector as well.

Saileachis practically the definition of Overkill in this game. She is aStandardBearer Vanguard, which is already one of the strongest archetypes in the game, but within her kit there are unique DPS boost options within her class, such as small increases in Attack Speed and punctual usages of the Fragile effect. Overall most players are going to have enough with justElysium, and those who do getSaileachwill still find themselves using the former often, butshe offers a unique kind of role compression that may benefit your teambuilding options.

Operators not present in this Tier List are not recommended for purchase, as they are either incredibly niche or severely outclassed by their peers. A good handful of them still see high-end usage when the stars align, but I don't find it correct or constructive to recommend them in good faith due to their very, very specific usage. If none of the Operators in this Tier List interest you, reconsider whether you want to purchase this Selector at all.
