Blaze

Blaze is a 6-star character in Arknights. Blaze's class is Guard. Faction: Elite Op.

On our Arknights tier list Blaze is S tier, 7th of the 293 characters ranked, from where 13 current tier lists put Blaze.

Blaze hits everyone she's currently blocking all at once, and Skill 2 stretches her range further, so she wipes groups fast wherever enemies bunch up. Her talent triggers a one-time heal for half her max HP when she drops below a quarter, then keeps her above half briefly, letting her tank and deal damage at the same time against tough enemies. Skill 3 extends her range and hits multiple targets but detonates at the end, damaging herself and nearby enemies, so it's best saved for stages with several unblockable enemies rather than used carelessly.

With the Chainsaw Extension Module she can even attack before an enemy engages her or from behind another operator, and Harsh Training adds status resistance shortly after she deploys. We rank her S tier.

CEN-X: "...Each and every Deputy Minister entered into the ledgers of honor has a history with an intractable case, one that tried to elude their very investigation."

"No wonder you care so much about my deal, ***.

It's just complicated enough for you, right?

Just listening to that huge string of numbers makes my head want to explode."

"No. It's because of a predecessor of mine."

"Care to explain?"

"The year I'd just assumed Deputy Minister duties at the Central Judicial Office, I'd been rummaging through files in light of a case I had, only to find that in order to fell a great villain, he'd employed counterfeit evidence at their impeachment.

Despite him already being retired at the time, I convinced the Censor to recall him to the capital for punishment."

"Uh, I'm not going to weigh in on whether that was right for you to do or not.

Can I ask what this has to do with me?"

"I only later came to know that said predecessor had not retired under normal circumstances, and was frankly not in his hometown caring for his family as one would assume...

He'd concealed his identity and been appointed to chase down a series of unsolved cases...

At the time, he'd practically figured out the third child's whereabouts, and it was exactly then when I just so happened to learn of his early mistake—what are you doing?

Stop rubbing my shoulder..."

"You were used. Which also means, if it wasn't for this case, my dad's whole deal would've come to light forever ago, huh?!

No need to pull that face, I'm not blaming you for this.

All I can say is that this is a real complicated affair...

Don't let me interrupt you, go on."

"At the time, your father had suddenly been given a transfer.

He departed for Victoria; in the two weeks following my predecessor being taken into custody, the Central Judicial Office scrollery suffered an inexplicable fire one night, and all the south's documents were reduced to ash...

The Tianshi are correct. As a Central Judicial Office Deputy Minister, I must investigate the truth of this matter, and to do so, I must renounce my very Central Judicial Office Deputy Minister status...

hence why I must take it on now."

"You can't give me that again! Tell me everything you know, now.

All of it. Chop-chop."

"No. You can't help me. These days, you are no more than 'a Victorian lodging aboard Rhodes Island.' You need only tell me what you know, all the things you've been through, and you can leave the rest to me."

"And I call that crap! The guy who died the land's most inexplicable death in a whole other country was my dad, not yours, and the woman who's dead according to her official paperwork and had to spend so long without a life except one on the move is me, not you.

You may as well have never taken your mask off here, if it wasn't gonna make you any better at talking to me!
