The special reward from this event isn’t a free operator, but instead a new outfit for Deepcolor, which can be obtained for free.
▍Arknights New Operators
The Springtide Snowfall limited headhunting iwll begin, bringing Qiubai and Windchimes to the game, who will join the game’s standard headhunting after the event ends.
Qiubai is Lord guard that deals bonus damage to enemies that are slowed, or bounded, with the bonus damage she deals being counted as Arts damage, making her adaptable to both high armored targets and mages.
Her 3rd skill, Snow Asker, expands her range forward slightly, and causes her attacks to deal arts damage while hitting up to 3 targets at a time. She also deals full damage with her ranged attacks, and the bonus from her talent can be doubled, letting her deal incredible damage to enemies that are slowed or binded. This is further supported by her Elite 2 talent, whic causes all of her attackets to have a 20% chance to bind an enemy, and when her 3rd skill is activated, her attack speed increases with each attack, making her a deadly force on the battlefield.
Wind Chimes is a Crusher Guard with a simple passive talent that raises her max HP, and gives her more attack when her health is above at least 50%. Her 2nd skill, causes her to stop attacking and gain a massive boost of attack, and when her skill ends, she deals up to 230% of her attack to ground enemies in front of her, and stunning them.
▍Arknights New Outfits
A new series of Epoque outfits will also be added to the store, featuring new clothes for Manticore, Pozemka, Mousse, and Proviso. These will also be joined by the return of the street-racer themed outfits for Waai fu, and Ceobe!
