Arknights Story Chapter 11 Release Celebration Campaigns

Arknights Story Chapter 11 - Return to The Mist

With the special story release of chapter 11 - Return to The Mist, players will have the chance to experience the ongoing conflict between the 2 factions of Londinium and Sarkaz with the appearance of many familiar faces of operators you have known and love and the introduction of the brand new operator Stainless. 

The main stages of story chapter 11 will consist of 3 different difficulties - story mode, normal mode and challenge mode, each with different rewards for players to clear. For story mode, it is the simplest and easiest mode to clear as they are for the fans who want to enjoy the story of chapter 11 right away without having to think too much about clearing battles. For Normal mode, this mode is the normal nodes with moderate difficulty enemies that players will have to face in order to obtain the real rewards from the stages. If players have cleared normal mode, they will automatically receive the rewards for story mode as well.

Challenge stages are unlocked after players have completed the end of the chapter and will contain various challenging tasks for players to complete while clearing the stage, rewarding them with even more rewards once cleared.

In addition to the stages in story chapter 11, once players have cleared certain stages, they will be greeted with the special scrapbook mechanics which rewards players for reaching certain milestones in the story, containing character upgrading materials, special limited items and the Free 5* Operator - Dagda.

Special Limited-time Drops

During the celebration campaign periods, every story stage and certain material farming stages will have a chance to drop 2 specially available materials for all players in the form of Small Emergency Sanity Potions and Rhodes Island Supply Chests.

These special event items can be obtained by randomly being dropped after the players have cleared the select stages. The chance for these items to drop increases proportionally to the amount of sanity cost of the chosen farming stage, so the higher the sanity cost, the more likely it is you will get these items.

 

However, it is recommended that players should farm the 1-6 stages for maximum sanity/drop proficiency as not only does the stage cost less sanity per run to run, it also provides players with one of the most important resources in the game: Originite Rocks, making it highly efficient to run this stage over and over again to get good results.

 

Small Emergency Sanity Potions will recover the players’ sanity ( or stamina) by 40 for every pot used. This is absolutely essential for all players to stock up on as the upcoming 3.5 anniversary event will require a lot of sanity to go through in order to obtain the most amount of rewards. So players should take absolute advantage of this opportunity to stock up on these potions.

Rhodes Island Supply Boxes, once used, will supply players with a random material, which all can be used to upgrade operators and strengthen your squad for both chapter 11 and the upcoming 3.5 anniversary event. The more boxes you farm, the less time you will need to spend on farming for those materials afterward, so players should absolutely stock up on these boxes.

Free 5* Operator - Dagda

Dagda is a 5* Operator of the Brawler Guard archetype, meaning she will only block 1 enemy and deal heavy damage against them, allowing her to challenge important enemies that requires attention and taking them out as fast as possible with her skills.

Dagda specializes in enhancing her attacks, with her talent granting her a chance to make her attacks become critical, dealing 150% more damage than their normal values. This ability, coupled with her 2nd skill, allows Dagda to increase her own attack and increase the chance of her talent initiating , allow her to deal massive amounts of damage against 1 enemy when facing them.

 

In addition, within chapter 11 specifically, Dagda will have a special 2nd talent that will grant her extra HP and Attack within chapter 11 stages, allowing her to be a good operator to be used to farm materials contained within chapter 11 of the main story.
