| Enemy | Trivia |
The Sarkaz Lancer is an elite enemy in Arknights. They first appear in Darknights Memoir.[1]
Description
- A Sarkaz mercenary. After special training, they are capable of rushing forward with a long spear, building up speed. The faster they charge, the harder they strike any who might stand in their way.
- Gradually accelerates when moving, and deals additional damage on the first attack after being blocked based upon Movement Speed.
Overview[]
| “ | Gradually accelerates when moving, dealing bonus damage on the first hit after being blocked based upon Movement Speed. | ” |
| —Tooltip |
A Kazdelian Sarkaz mercenary lancer, Sarkaz Lancers charge as soon as they start to move, where their speed is gradually increased at the rate of 50% of their base speed every 0.5 seconds and stacks additively up to 25 times (for a maximum of 1250%, or 3.375 tiles/second); the speed buff will reset when the Sarkaz Lancer stops moving, including in the event they are disabled or Bound.
Should the Sarkaz Lancer gets blocked while charging, the first attack they make will inflict an additional instance of Physical damage equal to (600 × current speed). This gives the following implications:
- If the Sarkaz Lancer reaches maximum speed, they will deal a whopping 2475 (450 + 2025) Physical damage upon attacking out of charging.
- With Originium Flow Generators that increase the speed of enemies moving upstream by 80%, Sarkaz Lancers' speed will be increased further to 6.075 tiles/sec., which means that their first attack out of charging will deal a massive 4095 (450 + 3645) damage.
Overall, Sarkaz Lancers, in spite of their unremarkable stats, are a highly dangerous foe capable of inflicting massive damage and possibly outright knocking out Operators with strong DEF. It is advised to use crowd-controlling effects to minimize the damage they can cost or dispatch them as soon as possible for comfort.
