The Playwright boasts exceptionally high HP, defenses, and a strong ranged Arts attack which can hit anywhere on the map, in addition to being unblockable, making him a highly formidable foe. Being a scriptwriter, The Playwright possesses several abilities that can allow him to devastate multiple targets from anywhere on the map and possibly ruin the formation's placements:
- The Playwright's attacks deal area-of-effect damage to friendly units in the adjacent tiles to the main target.
- An Arts attack where the Playwright marks all friendlies on the map who explode after a delay, dealing Arts damage equal to 80% of his ATK to the targets and friendlies adjacent to them. The global Arts attack has a cooldown of 10 seconds from when the Playwright spawns and every 20 seconds after.
- Every 20 seconds, the Playwright debuffs the most recently deployed operator who is not already affected by the debuff, permanently halving their attack speed and dealing Arts damage equal to 4% of their maximum HP every second; non-operator friendlies like summons will not be targeted by this. If an affected operator is knocked out or retreated, their redeployment time will be increased by 50% and the tile they were deployed on will become sealed by blue symbols, preventing friendly units from being deployed there for the rest of the operation.
- Once his HP falls below 50%, the Playwright becomes enraged (signified by a sound cue and a flaming blue aura around him) and gains the following properties:
- All damage dealt by his attacks and abilities is increased by 50%.
- DEF doubled.
- RES increased by 80%.
- The Playwright will use the global Arts attack and debuff 5 and 10 seconds after becoming enraged, respectively. Both of them also have reduced cooldowns of 15 seconds.
The Playwright will deduct no less than 30 Life Points if he manages to enter a Protection Objective, which will cause the player to instantly fail the run unless they have at least 31 when this happens!
