Arene

Arene is a 4-star character in Arknights. Arene's class is Guard. Faction: Laterano.

On our Arknights tier list Arene is B tier, 136th of the 293 characters ranked, from where 9 current tier lists put Arene.

Arene can fire at range without blocking anything, including aerial targets, and her passive makes her specifically better against drones. Just Kidding turns her attacks into two hits at higher levels but takes her out of blocking (which does mean melee enemies leave her alone), while Deadly Prank stretches her range, adds Arts damage and lets her hit two targets at once with no ranged penalty.

Outside Deadly Prank her ranged shots only do 80 percent of her melee damage, and Marksman Snipers generally do the anti-drone job better anyway. We put her at C tier.

LOR-Y: The youth is unbothered by the curiosity of others, especially when it is directed toward the notebook he carries.

"It was my teacher's request."

But during such conversations, he would always wear his usual distant smile, making no attempt to mask his indifference.

"My teacher wants me to write more."

Of course, he's always known that people were secretly gossiping about the contents:

"Did you know? Arene takes the name of every enemy he's killed in his notebook.

The Doctor had him keep a record so that he'd understand the value of life."

"I heard the ink he uses is a deadly toxin he concocted himself.

Anyone who tries to take a look at his notebook will—"

"I'm more inclined to believe he's hiding something shady in there, like data from human experimentation.

The last time I saw him with a prisoner—"

"If you ask me, he's just going through a rough patch in life.

He's probably just keeping a diary to sort through his feelings."

They speculate, they doubt, but the young man simply smiles at the various comments.

He sets the notebook down on his desk and flips it open.

He pulls out a transparent fountain, as if drawing an overly sharpened dagger, and fills it with the brightly colored ink he made himself, purported to be laced with deadly toxin

"The voices of others are important, but it's your own answers that matter most.

Write down whatever you want to tell me, and yourself, the most."

Guns that have killed, poison with a deceiving aroma, blurry voices, the cruelty and malice inexorably hidden deep within...

Many things cross his mind.

When his senses return to him, he realizes that the tip of the pen has punctured the page again, the brightly-colored ink seeping into the snow-white paper like the bloodied, grasping limbs of enemies, until everything contorts into a bottomless vortex.

Arene lets out a chuckle and casually tears out the besmirched sheet of paper.

He then closes the notebook and stashes it back in his pocket.

A young Lateran Sankta banished from his homeland after contracting Oripathy on a firearm-related incident, Arene was taken to Rhodes Island after previously staying in Leithanien as part of his study.

He shows an aptitude in using Originium Arts that takes form of corrosive substances to melt down anything and uses it to good effect against hostile drones in combat.

Unlike other Sankta that are seen to be good-mannered, Arene is generally considered to be a rebellious and mischievous one, likely due to his age.
