Analysis of Lappland

Judging from her stat, Lappland's numerical attributes rank among the top tier of 5-star operators tier list. At Elite 2 and max level, her stats are only slightly lower than SilverAsh's. Furthermore, the Lord archetype's unique attack range significantly enhances her capabilities, making her better suited than SilverAsh for consistent on-field DPS.

Lappland's Talent is her standout feature. The Silence effect lasts up to 5 seconds after reaching Elite 2. While operators like Pudding, Elysium, and Ceobe have Silence effects via their skills, Lappland's innate Talent allows her basic attacks to achieve excellent results. Consequently, Lappland possesses exceptional versatility and situational effectiveness, enabling her to counter numerous enemy types.

Lappland

Overall, whether considering her Branch archetype traits, Silence mechanics, or raw stats, Lappland delivers outstanding performance across the board. She can truly be considered a 5.5-star operator,and you can also browse the Arknights Tier List to check other guard operators as powerful as Lappland.

Lappland Elite Level

Lappland possesses an exceptionally rare combination of ranged basic-attack Silence and hybrid physical/Arts damage, ensuring her enduring popularity as a 5-star operator in the current meta. She remains a staple in AFK-friendly squads and is an unconditional priority for Elite 2 promotion.

Lappland Skill Mastery

Regarding skills, Mastery of Skill 2 (S2) takes precedence. Beyond dealing Arts damage, S2 enables her to apply Silence and Weaken to two targets simultaneously. This capability leads to outstanding performance across numerous event stages and scenarios.

Lappland Module

Lappland's Module provides bonus Arts damage. While her base ASPD (Attack Speed) is insufficient to increase S2's attack count per activation, it reduces skill SP cost/recovery time, accelerating skill rotation.

Analysis of Lappland the Decadenza

Lappland the Decadenza's Skill 1 has the effect of full-battlefield targeting, making it very suitable for AFK. Skill 2 can deal multi-instance damage, capable of producing considerable burst damage in short rotations, and the attacks also have a certain chance to inflict control effects. Her Skill 3 is a skill that combines stacked Fear effects with full-battlefield targeting, and its strength is very high.

Lappland the Decadenza

In terms of Lappland the Decadenza's application scenarios, she can play a significant role in both daily stages and Roguelike mode. In daily stages, full-map targeting and Fear effects give her excellent control and damage output capabilities. If paired with Support Operators, the experience is even better. In Roguelike mode, Lappland the Decadenza is also an all-around Operator. All three of her skills can perform well against both single-target and group enemies. Moreover, since her actual damage is based on the number of Drones, she benefits significantly from Collection bonus tiles.

Elite

First, highly recommend promoting Lappland of the Abandoned to Elite 2 (E2). Upon reaching E2, her first Talent gains enhanced effects: her Deployment Time is reduced by 10 seconds, the Damage cap increases from 6% to 10%, and the Silence duration is extended by 1 second. E2 also unlocks her third skill, which is her primary damage-dealing skill. In short, promoting her to E2 early means enjoying these benefits sooner.

Skill Mastery

For Skill Mastery, prioritize mastering Skill 2 and Skill 3 to improve their rotation speed. Of course, if you have sufficient materials, mastering all three skills is recommended.

Module

Modules should be upgraded to Module Level 3.

In team compositions, she pairs well with Siracusan operators like Honeyberry.

Conclusion

In summary, despite being a 5-star operator, Elite 2 promotion + S2 Mastery is highly recommended for Lappland, allowing her to rival the combat effectiveness of 6-star operators. Lappland's Silence Talent ensures her consistent viability across evolving metagames.

And, Lappland the Decadenza is the second operator (after Goldenglow) to possess full-battlefield targeting ability while deployed. She boasts exceptional versatility and counter capabilities,and Elite 2 + S2&3 Mastery + Module Level 3 is suitable for her.
